Eunuchs who traveled through the Qing Dynasty

As for Xiao Ran, if he gets a bargain, he can enjoy his happiness.He has a wife and children, and the empress dowagers of the two palaces also flirt with him indiscriminately. The entire inner courtyard of the palace is just like the one opened by their family, and it looks like an overlord!If you still refuse to give up like this, you have to ruin the foundation of the Qing Dynasty and Aixinjueluo, it is really tolerable!When he came to the Four Seasons Garden, Yi was willing to discuss it, so it's fine, if not, the man would have to fight it out!

The servants reported, and came out after a while, and said coldly: "Go in by yourself, and the followers stay!" King Yizheng, it's fine if he doesn't come out to pick him up in person, even this servant is so awesome!

Swallowing my breath, I entered the garden and came to the winter garden. It snowed only two days ago. Now that the weather is getting warmer, the snow has begun to melt, and the breeze seems to be blowing warmth.The plum blossoms in the courtyard are in full bloom, like a sea of ​​fiery red.A jagged rockery rises abruptly, with a pavilion above it, hidden among green cypresses, the scenery is picturesque.Such a beautiful garden, no different from the imperial palace, this fake eunuch will really enjoy it!Yibian climbed up the rockery angrily.

When he got to the top, he saw that Xiao Ran was wearing the black fox fur cloak he had given him, standing there with a high spirit, flirting with a group of beauties around him.Seeing that the robe hurts, I only regret that I was blind at the beginning, and I gave it to this white-eyed wolf, and it would be a waste to wear it on him!

Before he could open his mouth, he heard a voice like a silver bell saying: "My lord, why don't you stay at your own house if you have nothing to do? What are you doing here? Disturbing our interest!"

Taking a closer look, it was the Ninth Princess Ning Xin and the Empress Dowager Li Yanlin.The eighth princess, Ning Wei, was painting in front of the wind on the pavilion, swaying the paintings, and everyone gathered around to watch, making comments from time to time.Yi's anger immediately suppressed a little, and he politely invited Ann.Ning Wei said: "It's done, the painting is finished, let's break up, don't delay Liu Ye and the others talking about serious matters. Little Sanzi, let's go down first."

While talking, he habitually gave Xiao Ran a sweet smile.Yi had a sullen face at the beginning, as if he was pulling something, and I'm afraid he has never been so gentle when talking to your brother Xianfeng, but now it's a good thing, the one who trained this fake eunuch is a vixen!It's really crazy, this fake eunuch looks like a rabbit, why is he so good?

Yanlin took the princess and the two sisters down the rockery, leaving only Xiao Ran on the pavilion.Yi wondered how to make an opening remark, which seemed more imposing, so Li Xiao Ran said first: "My lord, I just asked someone to give you white powder a few days ago, why did it disappear? That thing is pretty good. Jin Guidi, don't think it's free anyway, just eat it like flour!"

Hearing the word "white powder", Yi shrunk by three points.He coughed and said, "Then where can I do it? I came to you today because I have something serious to discuss with you."

"Serious matters?" Xiao Ran rolled his eyelids, and said: "If you have serious matters, you have to go to the empress dowagers of the two palaces and discuss them in the court hall. What are you discussing with me, a chief executive of the inner court?"

Yiwai is gone!This matter is related to me and you, it's very important, otherwise, I wouldn't come here to bother you. "

"Oh? What a big deal, let's hear it."

Yi is also very fierce. Originally, the Man-Han family had some established rules, but now it has become hostile between the Man-Han family and fights violently. How can this go on like this?Now even the common people in Jiangning are discussing in private, the people's hearts are not stable!Brother, let me tell you something plain, you and I, including the queen mothers of the two palaces, we all rely on the power of the Qing Dynasty to eat, and sit firmly in the country of the Qing Dynasty, isn't it good? ?If something goes wrong, everyone will be unlucky.Brother, you are a sensible person, well, you should understand the meaning of what I said, right? ""don't know. "Xiao Ran shook his head solemnly.

No matter how you say it, Yixin is also a real prince. The arrogance unique to the nobility that accumulated in my youthful sense of superiority was suddenly revealed under Xiao Ran's stimulation.His face darkened, and he sneered and said, "Brother, is it meaningless to say that? No matter who you are, you should have a bottom line when doing things. Don't go too far, forcing everyone to nowhere, that's not good. There is a saying that too much is too late, once the face is torn, it will be of no benefit to anyone!

I remember you told me back then that the two of us are two grasshoppers tied to the same rope, we can't fly me, and we can't jump you.Now I should add another sentence: One end of this rope is still tied to the Qing Dynasty!Don't forget, how did you get everything today!Oh, by the way, I remembered that you also said a word, telling barefoot people not to be afraid of wearing shoes.Now look at you brother, you have a family and a job, you have a beautiful wife and concubine and children, and you are a celebrity in front of the two palaces.Are you willing to take it off? "

After a pause, seeing that Xiao Ran didn't answer, he thought he was frightened by his own words, and couldn't help feeling a little more proud, and said, "Brother, you are still too young after all, acting impulsively and not thinking carefully. It's just you and me, let me tell you plainly: If the Qing Dynasty really falls, what benefits can you gain? Be the emperor? Haha, don't forget your identity. Have you laughed your ass off? I might as well put it here for you: Even if the Qing Dynasty falls one day, the person sitting on the dragon chair will definitely not be you Xiao Ran! Li Hongzhang, Zuo Zongtang, Luo Bingzhang, these people have been there for many years The momentum you have developed, decades of intrigue, battles in the battlefield, and painstaking efforts have brought you today's net worth. Do you think they will convince you, a fluffy little eunuch who relies on opportunism and mixes up in the inner palace? To put it nicely , You are called time turns, it's a bit harsh to say... Haha, I don't think I need to say it?"

"It's okay, just tell me I can stand it. Sixth Prince, you want to say that I have a fever, right?" Xiao Ran nodded sincerely, and said: "I understand, it is indeed a fever, and if you don't Be careful, I still have a fever. So according to the prince, what should I do now?"

"I don't dare to say this. You have to tie the bell to untie it. I'm afraid Mr. Xiao has to make up your own mind!" Excuse me, but the local governors do their own thing.After all, it is a mess; although the Eight Banners Army has fallen, it is still the sky of the Qing Dynasty, and the country is still the country of the ancestors!And there is Ruoanayan in the north, and Manchurian cavalry!And above the court, the bannerman is still a political figure. Even if the Qing Dynasty really falls, do you think that the establishment of the dynasty and the rectification of the dynasty can be done with just a clever mouth? ?hum! ..."

Maybe this remark has been suppressed in my heart for too long, and I just said it.He was extremely quick, bubbling with delight, pointing with his eyebrows raised and elated, quite reminiscent of the feeling from back then.He spoke smoothly for a while, but wanted to continue, when suddenly a servant came to the rockery to report to Xiao Ran that there was a visitor, panting.Are there any more important guests than me?Sure enough, Xiao Ran frowned and reprimanded the servant: "There are no rules! Didn't you see me talking to the prince?" As a result, the servant said in awe: "Don't blame me, my lord, the two visiting guests have signed their names. Tie, one is Governor Li Hongzhang, and the other is Governor Zuo Zongtang."

At this time in Yili, there was a broken stone under his feet, looking at the large expanse of plum blossom forests in full bloom, and talking freely, he felt more stylish and imposing.But when he heard the names of Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang, his heart skipped a beat.Almost fell off the rockery.He is not stupid, of course he knows what the sudden visit of the two Han officials represents at this extremely sensitive time, no wonder this fake eunuch is so confident, it turns out it was premeditated!

Looking at Xiao Ran, still smiling and looking like he deserved a beating, Yi couldn't help but want to find something to throw there.Seeing that he remained silent for a while, Xiao Ran said: "My lord, don't be as knowledgeable as a servant, just keep talking and I'll listen."

Yi Daqing is over, and I have nothing. What's the point of living?Xiao Ran, remember, you forced this! "

Turning around angrily, he was about to go down the mountain, but Xiao Ran stopped him and said, "Why are you leaving now? I still have something to say."

奕

Xiao Ran smiled slightly and said

Prince, in fact, you don’t need to be excited. I just want to tell you a few words. I’m just a eunuch. Why is it always smooth sailing?You must say that it is luck, but I don't think so.

"Six princes, you are someone I respect. From the founding of the Qing Dynasty to the present, among so many princes, you can be regarded as outstanding. You have vision, courage, courage and insight. In supporting Westernization, it can be said that you are a hundred times stronger than those corrupt and ignorant Manchu dignitaries. But there is one thing, you are ignorant of current affairs and cannot see the development direction of history. You always hope to rejuvenate the country and save the world according to your ideas, but I don’t know how to follow the trend of the times. You have a high position, great knowledge, know politics, and understand diplomacy. In these aspects, I am far behind you! But I can still influence the current situation, do you know why? In one sentence: I foresee the future.

"The times are progressing. This is a historical inevitability. No one can stop or counteract it. Sixth Prince, you are a smart person. You can decide for yourself what to do. As for me, Xiao Ran, whether I deserve it or not. You don’t have to worry about being the emperor. It’s up to you, so you have to be firm! It’s good for the fish to die and the net broken, but if the fish dies and the net is still there, is it worth it?”

奕

Xiao Ran suddenly smiled, shook his head, and said slowly: "No, this is not a threat, it's just a piece of advice. Six princes, only if two are equal to each other, or one has enough capital to arouse the other's desire, can you Let someone threaten him. But you, do you still have such capital now?"

"Okay, okay!" Yi

When people reach the end of the road, they often don't listen to any advice.Just like a red-eyed gambler, the only thought in his mind is how to make a last-ditch attempt to make money all at once, and he doesn't even consider that if he loses this last-ditch effort, his retreat will be in vain. where.

When Yi returned to the mansion, he immediately summoned the important figures in the courtiers, and told about Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang going to the Xiao Mansion to conspire with Xiao Ran, as well as the content of the conversation between him and Xiao Ran.All the ministers present were dumbfounded when they heard this.Things have come to this point, it is already obvious that the power of the Qing Dynasty has not been easy to sit for a few days!

As for the shock, it was more panic and frustration.Obviously, the current banner people have lost the capital to make a final fight with the Han people. Even the two queen mothers who hold the highest power, these two authentic banner people seem to have become traitors and cannot be relied on.On the contrary, Bao Yun and a few others clamored to force the Empress Dowagers of the Two Palaces to delegate power, and then Yi Hua said it at this moment, Lian Yi said: "It's a human-headed thing!"

In Jiang Ning at this moment, apart from the pro-army guards under Commander Mei Liangfu, there is also Jing Shou's Firearms Battalion, and the pair of devils under Xiao Ran who may transform at any time.And among the ministers, including Yi, there is no self-influence, except for the few palace guards who can be counted, and there are servants, they can't be dragged to kill the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, Xiao Ran and others, right?Not to mention that on the banks of the Qinhuai River, there are still those warships of the Zhili Navy and Lushun Kou Shui Division moored. Who dares to act rashly?

The only feasible strategy right now is to use soft knives.Just like the one played by Sushun during the Xinyou coup, all the Manchen Bannermen, from the military aircraft office to the Prime Minister's Office, from the inner court to the outer office, gave him a pick at the same time, and the entire government let him go all at once. Paralyzed.At the same time, they secretly ordered Seng Gelinqin and Ruoanayan in the north, and all Manmeng creatures with legs and panting, to kill and rush to the south.The forces of the Han army, governors of the southern provinces, have just disarmed on the one hand, and on the other hand, they should not have been truly linked up yet, and they are still fighting on their own.As long as you act fast enough, you should be able to catch them by surprise.

This is the last chance, either the fish will die or the net will be broken.How big the opportunity is, it's too late to think about it at this time.Anyway, if you don't do this dying struggle, you can only wait for death.However, in the hearts of most people, there is still such an unstoppable thought: Even if they are dying, the end may be the same, or even worse...

→Chapter 184 - The Last Battle←

Yi Hao.For this kind of secret letter, you only need to cover it with a piece of paper that has been dug in advance, and then read the exposed text to get the actual content.The reason why such a telegram was sent was because the entire telegram network was under Xiao Ran's control, so he had to guard against it.

The content of this telegram is very simple, the Qing Dynasty will not be guaranteed, and the Manchu and Mongolian forces will be quickly summoned to go south to control the situation.

On the second day after the telegram was sent out, led by Yigui, the university scholar Woren, Minister of the Ministry of Industry Airen, Minister of Military Aircraft Wen Xiang, etc., Man Shangshu of the Ministry of Households and Ministry of War, Minister of Internal Affairs, Prime Minister's Office, Minister of Military Aircraft, Military Aircraft Minister, etc. Zhang Jing, almost all the ministers in key departments, most of them were sick and absent.Even including the infantry yamen, even under the command of Jing Shou, there are still several Manchu officials who work without reason.In this sensitive and tense situation, these banner people have put aside the usual factional disputes, relatives and enemies, and united unprecedentedly.This is not only for the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, but also for his own future and destiny.

Of course, among these people there were individual Han officials who thought they had been reused by the Manchu Qing, and worried that their wealth and status would be lost if the dynasty changed.It’s just that there are very few such people. This is not only because the national spirit in their bones has been awakened, but the main reason is that any Han people who can become some powerful officials in the Qing court are usually very winking and smart. It is in your own interest to clearly distinguish the current situation and which camp you should invest in.

This trick of leaving the car behind did not end like a mass strike by Yi, nor did it seem to cause the government to be paralyzed and panic in the capital.Because at the same time as receiving the news that the ministers had dropped the pick.Mei methodically took out two drafted decrees from his sleeve. The first decree stated that all sick ministers, regardless of their position, would be allowed to leave for as long as possible, and all the errands at hand would be handled by the deputy.For example, the vacancy of the Minister of Military Aircraft will be filled by the military aircraft Zhang Jing, and the vacated position of Zhang Jing will be taken by the military aircraft.But there is a point.It is easy to ask for leave, but the revocation of leave can only be done with the personal approval of the empress dowagers of the two palaces.

The second decree is that Liu Erfu Jingshou, the former commander of the infantry yamen, was transferred to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, temporarily taking over the post of minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, promoted Li Hongzhang, governor of Jiangsu, and concurrently served as the commander of the infantry yamen!

Although Li Hongzhang was the governor of a province in Jiangsu, he was not an official in the capital. According to the rules, he did not have the right to garrison troops in the capital. Therefore, the Yamen of the Governor of Liangjiang, which was originally located in Jiangning, was also specially moved to Zhenjiang.But this time Li Hongzhang took over as the commander of the infantry yamen.It is equivalent to the imperial court recognizing its right to garrison troops in the capital!

These two edicts are really more ruthless than the other.As a result, those Manchus who followed suit were all ignorant.Over the years, various political departments have gradually merged with Manchu and Han, and it was not difficult for Hanchen to temporarily manage government affairs.The most important thing is Li Hongzhang's Huai Army, which had just issued an order the day before, and opened up to the outskirts of Jiangning the next day in a grand manner, and all four city gates were garrisoned by Han troops!Although martial law has not been formally issued, in fact the entire Jiangning has been besieged like an iron barrel!

It's over, it's over!Isn't this going to choke the neck? ...

Frightened, many ministers who had been off work seemed to wake up at the same time.They scrambled to hand over paperwork to the queen mothers of the two palaces, and asked for leave when they recovered from illness.This time Lan'er did something even worse, directly complained of illness, and went back to the palace to be raised.How can you get a reply if you don't even go to court?The group of ministers were so worried that they were like fellow villagers seeing fellow villagers, their tears were really in tears.The most unlucky ones were those Hanchens who went on strike with the bannermen.Seeing that the momentum is not right, I want to go back again, but it is a pity that the grass on the wall often ends up in the end, and there is only one end, neither side can please, and whoever catches will kick the other.The banner man was very angry, and the Han people here also accused him of being a traitor and running dog, which made these people dare not even come out, for fear of being drowned by spit stars.

Yi knows how to play like this.Enduring the bird's anger in his belly, he was not advancing or retreating, so he could only wait for Seng Gelinqin in the north to lead his army south as soon as possible to join the Eight Banners Army in the local area and make the last fight.

However, Yizuo has already led the army westward and joined Shi Dakai, who broke into Shanxi from Xi'an, with a total force of more than [-] people, and has already formed an indestructible blockade line, waiting for Seng Gelinqin to bring his Manchurian iron cavalry Cast yourself into the trap!

Let's press this point for now, and say that the Manchu officials from all over the south of the Yangtze River, including the most troublesome governor of Huguang, Guan Wen, did not expect the current situation to be so chaotic that it would be difficult to end it.But it's useless to regret, you can only bite the bullet and go up.The imperial court did not block the news of the dismissal of the ministers in the capital, and soon it spread to all places.The officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners saw that the momentum was not good, and engaged in

The inheritance left by the ancestors has been lost, so I can't help but feel red-eyed.How can the official document change, so the Eight Banners team was quickly pulled out, and under the banner of King Qin, they rushed to the capital in a hurry.However, Luo Bingzhang, governor of Sichuan, had already stationed troops at Hongjiaguan. As soon as this official made a move, all the green battalion troops from the other side came to kill him aggressively.Zuo Zongtang, who is far away in Zhejiang Province, led tens of thousands of Chu troops, sailed back to the west of Jiangxi by boat, and joined the Han army troops in Jiangxi and Anhui.

Except for the Huguang area, the Eight Banners forces in various places are relatively small and scattered. Those who have been watched by the Han army for a long time, are so anxious that they can't move at all.Officials did not dare to fight, and did not know where to flee. Seeing that the general situation was over, they could only hug their heads and cry.

These separated Eight Banners Army have long lost the bravery and valor they had when they entered the customs. The centuries-old preferential treatment policy, while squeezing and enjoying the blood and sweat of the Han people, has completely reduced itself to a group of cowards, Wimpy.

The current situation in the south of the Yangtze River has now become a set trend.As everyone expected, the last stop was between Manmeng cavalry, Shi Dakai and Shengzuo.The course of the battle was lackluster.The most valiant soldiers under King Monk's command are the cavalry, but in front of the Han army equipped with regular artillery regiments, the cavalry is simply a group of moving targets.Hundreds of short-barreled curved cannons, plus a round of artillery fire from dozens of field cannons, the shells are thrown over like hailstones. Let alone riding a horse, even if you ride a flying dragon, it will be difficult for you to fly!Not to mention equipped with a new type of rifle, a rotary machine gun, and a range of 400 meters, what other living thing can break through this firepower net?

In just one battle, Ruoanayan's Eight Banners Army under Monk King's command, together with Zhelimu, Zhuosutu, and Zhaowuda, the most powerful Mongolian cavalry of the Three Alliances, suffered more than half of the casualties. It was discovered that the escape route had been firmly stuck to death by Shi Dakai, who was elusive.Sheng Zuo sent a messenger to send a message to ask the monk king to negotiate. The iron hat prince was desperate and finally handed over the white flag.Sheng Zuo's attitude is very tough. Jiangnan is about to change, and the change of dynasty is only a matter of time.For all the Mongolians, there are only two paths left: Either surrender, and then remain compatriots, or resist, and destroy you on the spot!

The building is about to fall, and it is difficult to support it alone. Although the monk king has always been famous for his bravery, he is already weak at this time. How can he not know this truth?For the thousands of tribesmen on the grassland, how dare they contend with such a powerful army?In desperation, they signed a draft contract, and honestly turned the horse's head, "the wind blows north".
