1890 King of Southeast Asia

"Master~~Master! Something bad has happened!" Zaifeng's personal attendant Liu Er rushed into Zaifeng's study in a hurry.

Zaifeng was writing in his study to calm down because of the attack. When he heard the sound, his hands shook unconsciously.

"What are you arguing about?! You've had enough of life, so die early and don't be an eyesore here!" Zaifeng looked at the ruined calligraphy and painting, and his anger rushed from his heart to his head.

If this wasn't his personal attendant, he would have dragged him out and chopped him on the spot.

"Master, the revolutionary army is coming!" Liu Er didn't pay attention to Zaifeng's mood and said anxiously.

"What?!" The brush in Zaifeng's hand fell on the paper, making a crisp sound.

"Speak clearly, where did the rebellion go? How many people came? How is Zaixun? Why so fast?" Zaifeng hurriedly threw out four questions.

His first reaction was that Zaixun was defeated again.

Then he regretted, although he had regretted it many times...

He regretted why he indulged Zaixun. If he had not given the military power to Zaixun, would it be possible for these things to happen if he had changed someone, even Tieliang?

"There is no news about Prince Ning yet. The revolutionary army is riding on big iron bulls. There are hundreds of big iron bulls. They arrived in Gaobeidian this morning. Now, I am afraid they have arrived in Fangshan." Liu Er simply told Zaifeng all the information he asked.

"Fangshan?? How is the city?" Zaifeng was stunned for a moment, walked to the window and looked outside.

The capital in April, the breeze is warm, and it is the most comfortable.

"This... I don't know. I'll go and ask?" Liu Er paused for a moment, he didn't know.

"Go!" Zaifeng nodded.

"Yes!" Liu Er bowed and turned to go out.

"Wait! Only you came. No one came to the mansion today?" Zaifeng suddenly found something wrong.

"My Lord, I have been at the door today and have not seen anyone's visiting card..." Liu Er said anxiously.

Zaifeng was silent.

The revolutionary army has reached Gaobeidian, which is only a hundred miles away from the capital. It is impossible to hide it. Why didn't anyone tell him? A servant came to report.

The capital is full of high-ranking officials and dignitaries. It is very easy for them to know the news. It is impossible for them not to know.

Then, there is only one possibility...

He, the biological father of the little emperor, the former regent of the Qing Empire, one of the most powerful princes, and a die-hard Qing Empire faction, was abandoned?

"Let others do the inquiries. You take my visiting card and go to the Russian Empire Embassy to invite the minister to your house." Zaifeng waved his hand tiredly.

He did not have so much time and energy to track down those who were ready to abandon him, nor did he want to track them down.

At this point, the failure was irreversible. The top priority was to send the little emperor away, preserve the inheritance of the ancestral temple, and try to make a comeback.

The little emperor is still here, just a signboard, the Qing Empire is not dead yet. If the little emperor is arrested or simply dies, no one will believe him even if he uses the signboard of the Qing Empire in the future.

Just like Chongzhen, when he died, the Ming Dynasty still had half of its territory, but it could only be called the Southern Ming Dynasty. The various forces of the Southern Ming Dynasty could not unite and eventually perished.

If Chongzhen were alive, there would be a chance to integrate the forces of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and it might be possible to start over.

Liu Er nodded and went out to the Russian Imperial Embassy.

…

"Your Highness, I heard that the rebels have reached the vicinity of your capital. Do you want to discuss political asylum today?"

"I'm sorry to tell you that our emperor does not agree to provide political asylum, but the Tsar can support you and your people to rebuild the country on the Mongolian Plateau."

The Russian envoy who was picked up by Liu Er said very directly.

Not only Zaifeng was anxious about this matter, but the Russians were also anxious.

However, with a distance of only a few dozen kilometers, someone might come to attack at any time. At that time, the plan to use the Qing Empire royal family to contain the new regime might have to be cancelled.

"Really?! Thank you very much for the support of the Russian emperor. The Great Qing Empire will not forget the friendship of the Russian Empire!" Zaifeng sincerely shook the Russian envoy's hand and was unwilling to let go.

"Of course it's true. I don't have to lie to you." The Russian envoy answered seriously.

"But..." The Russian envoy looked like he was about to say something but stopped.

"What's wrong? What else? Is it money? Or a treaty?" Zaifeng thought that things had changed, resulting in a waste of time, and asked anxiously.

"Oh? It's not these problems, it's about how your country can send His Majesty the Emperor out." The Russian envoy thought about it and said regretfully that he couldn't squeeze much benefit from the Qing Empire.

If there were no Balkan issues, he would definitely take advantage of the fact that the Qing Empire is the only recognized government and sign a cart of treaties.

Even if the new regime does not recognize these treaties, the Russian Empire can completely rely on its strength to turn the acquired land into Russian territory.

"This... is indeed a problem. I wonder if the Russian Empire can provide some mercenaries?" After thinking for a long time, Zaifeng still couldn't come up with a solution.

After all, the reality is there. The attack happened, but the little emperor was lucky enough not to die. It's hard to say what will happen next time.

After thinking about it, Zaifeng wanted to find some foreign mercenaries, and mercenaries with some vague identities.

For example, the Russian embassy guards.

"Mercenaries? Excuse me, those war hyenas who only recognize money are not trustworthy, and their combat effectiveness is low. They can't protect your emperor."

"Besides, I haven't heard how many mercenaries are in the Far East yet. You can't find enough manpower."

The Russian envoy shook his head and asked Zaifeng to give up the idea.

"Yes! Yes! Doesn't your country have an army in the embassy?" Zaifeng said anxiously.

"That is the army of His Majesty the Tsar. His Majesty must agree to it." The Russian Empire envoy shook his head.

"The Tsar will not agree to his soldiers being rented out to others as bodyguards."

"However, in these two days, the embassy guards need to return to the country for replacement."

"If you are willing to let the noble and young emperor go with them, I believe the soldiers of the Russian Empire will provide protection." The Russian envoy said it clearly.

Catching the little emperor in their hands is what the Russian Empire is very eager for, but it has never had the opportunity to implement it.

Usually, even if the Qing Empire pulls again, the size is there. Didn't you see that Britain and France, which have a rich colonial history, did not directly designate this place as a colony?

"This..." Zaifeng looked at the envoy in horror.

"Your Excellency, your country is about to perish. It's time to think about the future."

"As long as you keep your emperor, I believe that sooner or later, you will fight back." The Russian envoy's main pitch is just a big pie.

Zaifeng was a little shaken. If the emperor was not his son, he would not be so anxious. He was even one of the people who packed up and prepared to surrender.

"Your Highness, you must know that the Russian Empire cannot give protection to anyone alone."

"If you miss this opportunity, the next change of guard will be in half a year. I hope the capital can hold on for half a year." The Russian envoy said.

"This..." Zaifeng hesitated for a long time and finally nodded.

"Then, your Majesty, I will leave it to the Russian Empire."

...

Just after sending off the Russian Empire's envoy, Zaifeng sat on the chair with his eyes dull and holding a teacup.

The tea was cold. It can be seen that he has been in this posture for a long time.

"Master! Master! Good news, good news!" Liu Er entered the courtyard with excitement.

"What's the matter?" Zaifeng gently wiped his revolver.

"The revolutionary army didn't come. He took a train in Fangshan and turned west. It seems to be going to Kouwai." Liu Er was very excited.

His property has not been transferred yet. If he invests, how much will he lose? !

"Waste! Why didn't you come earlier!" Zaifeng slapped him.

Just now, he and the Russian Empire's envoy negotiated the handover of the little emperor and the status and treatment issues.

The Russian Empire had a big appetite, but Zaifeng could only agree helplessly.

As a result, good news came right after he agreed.

Letting the little emperor move with the Russian embassy is for safety, but now that the revolutionary army has not come, his action seems redundant, just like the big abyss species that took over the stock market.

…………

Zaifeng agreed to a series of conditions, selling all the rights of the Qing Empire in Changxiang, in exchange for the "promise" of the Russian Empire.

Although it was later discovered that it was a mistake, Zaifeng obviously could not tell the Russians that he had made a mistake and negotiate again.

Even if he did, the Russians would not agree - Zaifeng understood this.

Therefore, Zaifeng still chose to let them send the little emperor away. He had figured it out. The Russians needed them and needed them to gain a foothold in Mongolia.

Maybe it was convenient for them to control here, or maybe it was a barrier, anyway, it was just for use.

But who cares? Anyway, Zaifeng didn't care. It was a good thing to have useful value, so he did not breach the contract in the end.

A day later, the little emperor left the capital under the "escort" of the Russian Imperial Embassy Guard, accompanied by more than 2,000 royal family and noble children.

These people will rush north to Chengde, and then continue north to enter the three provinces, and enter the Mongolian Plateau or other places through the three provinces.

...

"Waste! Good-for-nothing!" Zaifeng was furious and threw things on the Golden Throne Hall.

The reason is that the news was not covered up, and people in the city were pouring out faster. While a large number of people were running out, they were also spreading rumors, causing panic in the city.

If it was the Han people, it would be fine, but in fact, the city gates had long been taken over, and entry and exit were strictly controlled, and ordinary Han people could not get out at all.

These were the strong men that Zaifeng prepared to use to guard the city! How could they run away?

Those who spread rumors and escaped were precisely the Eight Banners children that Zaifeng had placed high hopes on.

Only they could let the city gate release people.

Ordinary people, even if they bribed the city guards, they would dare to take your bribes, even confiscate your home, and then throw you into prison.

Only the Eight Banners were related to each other, their ancestors had been glorious, and they had inextricable connections with various dignitaries, and the most important thing was that they were "their own people".

They wanted to go out, and the city guards turned a blind eye.

"Order, all flags must..."

"Prince! Prince Ning... Prince Ning! He passed away~~" Before Zaifeng finished speaking, the eunuch shouted sadly.

Snap...

Zaifeng's cup fell to the ground, and his face twitched.

Zaixun, his brother died, and the revolutionary army's road ahead is no longer blocked!
