Rebirth of the Northern Giants

Resolute led the army back soon, Cixi boarded her eight-carried sedan chair, and a group of people headed for the Forbidden City mightily.

The sudden emergency mobilization of the army and horses in the capital immediately caused a panic. After receiving the news, everyone took action.

Liang Qichao was the first to receive the news, immediately packed his luggage and fled to the Japanese embassy, ​​and asked Tan Sitong to run away as well.

Looking at the messenger, Tan Sitong had already prepared for the worst, and said in a low voice, "Wait for a while."

The messenger was anxious for a while, but it was difficult to leave.

Tan Sitong went back to the room and quickly sorted out all his manuscripts, letters, etc., and then came out and handed them to the reporter: "Please give these to Brother Liang, and I will accept his kindness, but the reforms of all countries are not good enough." From the bloodshed, today Tan is setting an example to wake up the people of the country."

The messenger looked at Tan Sitong with a steadfast face, and in admiration, he turned and left silently.

Tan Sitong thought for a while, went back to the house, and wrote a letter as his father. The letter was full of words scolding Tan Sitong. Break away from his father-son relationship.

After Tan Sitong finished these, he sat quietly in the study, waiting for the arrival of the Qing soldiers.

In the Forbidden City, Guangxu was carefully reviewing some memorials in the imperial study, but he heard a burst of panicked footsteps outside the door, and then a eunuch broke in regardless of etiquette.

Before Guangxu stood up and had no time to scold him, the eunuch said in a panic: "Your Majesty, Lafayette has led the troops over."

Guangxu's face changed drastically when he heard the words, trembling, flustered and at a loss, it must be that the matter of calling for help was discovered and exposed.

Cixi led the confidant ministers such as Gangyi to arrive soon. At this time, Guangxu had no countermeasures. Cixi looked at the pale Guangxu coldly, but didn't speak, and then waved the courtiers to retreat.

Seeing Cixi's staring eyes, Guangxu's whole body trembled, he knelt down and said, "Greetings to my father!"

Cixi squinted her eyes and finally said, "Does the emperor still see me as his father? Didn't you ask Kang Youwei to abolish me?"

Guangxu flustered for a while, and his speech began to tremble, his upper teeth touched his lower teeth and said: "No... nothing, I... I dare not."

Cixi approached Guangxu, and suddenly kicked him hard, and Guangxu fell to the ground, not daring to get up.

Cixi pointed at him and gritted her teeth and said: "You wolf-hearted thing, you have forgotten who raised you. Now that your wings are stiff and your feathers are plump, you just think about how to deal with Aijia. Without Aijia, you can have today's success." Are you? Without Aijia, can you become this emperor? You are good, you don’t want to be grateful, but think about some crooked things. Tell yourself, are you a good thing? "

Guangxu wept bitterly, with tears all over his face, and said: "I dare not go against my own father, I dare not."

Cixi stepped forward, gave Guangxu two slaps, and said in a hateful voice: "Aijia asked if you are a good person, you dare to answer other questions."

Guangxu kowtowed again and again, and said in panic: "My son is not a good thing, my son is not a good thing."

Cixi kicked him twice again, scolding: "I know you are not a good person."

Cixi, who was angry a few times, calmed down a little bit, and ordered: "Shut this thing that is not a thing to the Ai family to Yingtai, so that the Ai family will not feel uncomfortable after seeing it. From tomorrow onwards, the Ai family will personally training politics."

"Yes, Lafayette!"

It's night, and many people have insomnia!

The second volume of the capital's situation

Cixi was busy seizing power in the capital, and Ye Zhikui in Tianjin was not idle.

At eleven o'clock that night, Wu Yi's army barracks suddenly blew whistles and alerts were everywhere. Because Wu Yi's army often conducts night raids, the sergeant reacted very quickly. Soon he quickly dressed, ran out of the camp, found the right position, and lined up. queue.

However, today is obviously different from usual. The playground is brightly lit, and the horses are rustling. After Wu Peifu stood up, he saw that Wu Yijun’s generals were already waiting in the stands above the playground, and Ye Shuai was standing upright with a serious face. at the forefront.

Something big is about to happen, Wu Peifu thought to himself.

The low sergeants started whispering!

Ye Zhikui saw that all the soldiers and horses were ready in a short while, nodded in satisfaction, waved his hands to stop the discussion, and said sonorously: "Soldiers, brothers, raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a thousand days. The other brothers of my Wu Yi army have already set up an army in Shandong. great merit."

All the sergeants below were listening quietly, and Wu Peifu at the bottom thought to himself: Could it be that there is another big battle happening somewhere? rich man.

Ye Zhikui raised his voice and continued: "There are traitors in the court who not only insult me, Ye Zhikui, but also my Wu Yi Army. Up and down are all dedicated to the country, there was a thunderstorm, and news came recently that the treacherous ministers in the court wanted to abolish the emperor and usurp the throne."

Before the sergeant recovered from the shocking news, Ye Zhikui said loudly again: "The emperor has already seen the danger, and he has given me a secret edict not long ago, asking my Wu Yi army for help! I hope my Wu Yi army will go to escort him."

Ye Zhikui immediately took out the secret edict, first read the contents of the edict word for word, and then shouted: "Who is my Wu Yi army? Defeated the Japanese army and completely defeated the German army. Now, I will lead you to defeat those in the court and the central government." The army of treacherous ministers! Do you have the confidence to defeat those local chickens and dogs?"

"Yes! Yes!" All the sergeants began to shout with enthusiasm, and they usually didn't pay attention to those old soldiers.

Ye Zhikui raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, fame and fortune are within your reach. Follow me, Ye Zhikui: help protect the emperor, restore the power, side the Qing emperor, and suspend the court! Make an immeasurable contribution! Brothers, are you willing?"

"On the side of the Qing emperor, sue the court!"

Ye Zhikui gestured slightly to the back.

When I saw benevolence, I ordered people to open the boxes on the left and right sides of the playground, and I saw that there were boxes full of guns and ammunition!

Under the sergeant's frenzied eyes, the generals began to distribute in an orderly manner, and the distribution was completed in a short while. Ye Zhikui roared: "Let's go! We must win!"

Rumbling, the sky and the earth changed color, and the generals divided their troops to attack according to the original plan.

Seeing this, Ye Zhikui turned to the butcher and said, "Uncle Tu, send the signal!"

The butcher was already ready, and received Ye Zhikui's order to go on, only to hear the sound of bang, bang, ..., above the dark night sky in Tianjin, suddenly colorful signal flares appeared like fairy flowers, dyeing the sky red.

In Tianjin, countless people are waiting anxiously.

In Xiaonanhe Village, Jinghai, Tianjin, Huo Yuanjia wiped the big knife in his hand, saw the signal, and said with a long sigh of relief: "This day is finally here!"

Immediately, a pigeon turned over and ran towards Tianjin City.

In the blacksmith's shop in the east of the city, Little Six calculated the time, looked at the sleeping daughter-in-law lying next to him, sneaked out of the room, and stared at the silent night sky, the brilliance of the signal slowed down in his anticipation. Slowly getting bigger, Little Six's eyes lit up, his expression was so excited that he couldn't control himself, he took out his pistol, and walked towards the gate, but he never met his mother at the gate.

Little Six was in a panic, there would be chaos in the city later, who knew what would happen, he hurried forward to stop, stopped his mother and said: "Mom, you go back to the room and fall asleep, why are you going out so late?"

Xiaoliuzi's mother was embarrassed for a while, and said with a smile: "I am old and can't sleep, and I am going to go out to have a look, what are you?" The old mother asked in disbelief when she saw a red ribbon wrapped around her son's left arm : "The bright moon shines in the sky?"

Little Six was taken aback, and suddenly found that his mother was dressed similarly to him. Could it be, he hurriedly replied: "Sister Feng and Sister Furong."

"Mom, you are Thirteen Eagles?"

The old lady said triumphantly: "Unexpectedly, Mom, this old bone is still useful. The news came from the day before yesterday, asking me to assist Wu Yijun to seize the ammunition depot not far away."

"Mom, I got the same message too."

"Okay, let my mother and son go to the battlefield together." The old mother said proudly.

The two covered their faces and were about to go out, but saw the daughter-in-law at home suddenly coming in a hurry. Seeing the two, they couldn't help being stunned. All three of them had red ribbons wrapped around their left arms. The daughter-in-law rubbed her eyes and looked at her mother-in-law. , asked aloud: "Is the bright moon shining in the sky?"
