Rebirth of the Northern Giants

The beggar hurriedly packed his luggage and prepared to go north to look for Ye Zhikui. He is also a time traveler. Why am I such a bad guy, Chong Chongshuai? Ye Zhikui, if you don't support me, I will expose your true identity.

A carriage ran past and slammed into Shuai Chongchong.

Kang Youwei stuck out his head and said, "The driver seems to have hit someone."

The driver of the car replied without changing his expression: "It's okay, I'm just a little beggar, there are many such beggars in Shanghai."

Kang Youwei held the newspaper and looked at the news on it. He really didn't have the heart to care about such trivial matters, so he continued to urge: "Hurry up, go to the (Harmony) newspaper office

Shuai Chongchong died before he left the school. Before he died, he half-opened his eyes and murmured: "Retribution, actually, I shouldn't have sex with a woman. No more begging, no more pornography, but write about Ye Zhikui's deeds for everyone to appreciate."

Almost at the same day, newspapers all over the country seemed to have gone crazy, wantonly and crazily reporting the matter of Wu Yijun's entry into King Jingqin.

Some literati were crazier than newspapers, and they wrote letters to the governors' offices of various provinces one after another. Some clamored for well-written articles and asked for troops to be dispatched.

All parts of the country began to boil, and the consulates of various countries exchanged frequent telegrams, and they were all watching the follow-up development of this old empire.

The governors of the provinces actually got the news before the newspapers, because Ye Zhikui first sent a telegram to the governors of the provinces, calling on everyone to join Jingqin Wang, and then disclosed the news to the newspapers.

The actions of Ye Zhikui and others stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, and truly shocked the people of the world, and changed the color of the situation.

Nie Shicheng, the governor of Shandong, and Ye Zhichao, the governor of Jiangsu, telegraphed the whole country on the same day to join the army of rebels, expressing their support for Ye Zhikui's action of King Qin and their willingness to respect Ye Zhikui as the generalissimo of rebellion.

Then, like a domino effect, Governor Chen Baozhen of Hunan telegraphed the whole country and expressed his support for Ye Zhikui. Because Chen Baozhen and his son really supported the implementation of the Hunan New Deal and had achieved certain results, he did not want the New Deal to end here.

Soon, Hubei governor Tan Xuxun sent a telegram to express his support, because Tan Sitong was his son.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Zhidong, Governor of Huguang, may have been influenced by the governors of Hunan and Hubei, or he may have been inspired by Ye Zhikui and others, or it may be because Yang Rui, one of the Six Gentlemen of the Eighth Movement, was his favorite disciple. On the same day, a nationwide telegram was sent to express support for Li Hongzhang and others.

There are many governors and governors in other provinces watching, and of course there are those who expressly oppose it, but these people, no matter whether they support, oppose, or neutral, so far, they are just paying lip service.

Cixi in the Forbidden City received the news, and this time she was really anxious. First, she dropped all Nanyuan into the capital, and then repeatedly urged the Song Qingyi army in Shanhaiguan to quickly enter the pass and enter Beijing to resist Wu Yi's army. Soldiers, we tide over difficulties together, but unfortunately there are very few clear responders. .

Volume Two, The Wind and Cloud of the Capital

In the capital city, inside the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Tan Sitong watched as his roommate Xiao was dragged out by the jailer.

Xiao was temporarily detained as a witness. Because of the cold weather last night, Xiao couldn't resist. This morning Tan Sitong discovered that he was actually frozen to death.

Tan Sitong looked calm, and he was already ready to die.

He walked around the room, looking back on the past, thinking about the history and the current reform struggle. He felt that his experience was similar to that of Zhang Jian and Dugan in the Han Dynasty.

"Tan Sitong"

A few jailers came over carrying food suddenly calling his name.

The jailer opened the cell door, and the head of the cell came forward and said, "Please serve the food and wine."

Is this the decapitation meal?Tan Sitong looked at the sumptuous food, glanced at the guards, and said, "Wait a minute"

Tan Sitong picked up a stick of coal from the prison cell, flamboyantly and angrily wrote:

Looking at the door and thinking about Zhang Jian,

Wait for Dugan to die.

I smiled from the side to the sky,

Go to leave the liver and gallbladder two Kunlun.

After Tan Sitong finished writing, he threw down the coal, laughed, and said loudly, "Let's go, we don't need the food."

Unexpectedly, the leader of the classroom praised: "good poems"

Then, with a sly smile, he said: "Sir, this is not a meal for beheading, it's just a little thought from the little ones."

Hearing this, Tan Sitong sat down and ate two mouthfuls, and said, "Since I am going to poison you, I, Tan, will do as you wish."

The squad leader made a slight gesture to the guards behind him.

Several people retreated and closed the cell door.

The team leader walked up to Tan Sitong, leaned over and said in a low voice: "Sir, General Ye, the admiral of Zhili, has led troops to the capital to rescue the emperor. Lafayette is in a state of desperation. I will still think of you, sir."

Tan Sitong was taken aback, put down his chopsticks, and asked in disbelief, "You are Ye Zhikui and Wu Yijun came to Beijing to rescue you."

"Yes, news came today that the governor of Zhili, Rong Lu, had been killed by General Ye. Li Zhongtang and General Ye formed an army to fight against the rebels. According to the emperor's secret order, they sent troops to the capital and are now on their way. I am afraid that the troops in the capital camp will not be able to resist it. , I’m here to announce the good news to you, sir.”

Tan Sitong's face showed joy, after all, there are still righteous and loyal people in this country.

"Sir, if you can escape this disaster, I hope you will remember what the villain reported to you today." The team leader finally spoke his mind after talking for a long time.

Tan Sitong was delighted in his heart, and with a smile on his face, he pointed to the door.

The squad leader understood, turned around and left.

Tan Sitong poured down a glass of wine, took a sip, tapped his chopsticks and sang: "Sing to wine, how much is life,..."

The Summer Palace, the Hall of Renshou. (When you read the novel, you will go to Ye Zi·you~you)

Cixi sat on the dragon bed in a chill.

A dozen or so Manchu and Qing central ministers lowered their heads and dared not speak out.

"Is the Ai family raising a bunch of idiots? At the critical moment, all of you have lost your voice. The two rebels, Li Hongzhang and Ye Zhikui, are about to invade the capital. Resolute, Ping is more careful, tell me."

Gang Yi snorted a few times, and said: "Lafayette, Song Qing is already on the way. Shengjing General Yiketang'a and Jilin General Changshun have already set out to lead the troops. I believe they will reach the capital in a short time."

Cixi picked up the seal on the desk and smashed it on Gang Yi's head, angrily said: "Song Qing's thousands of troops can stop the three-way bandit army, and when Changshun and Yi Ketang'a enter the capital, the bones of Ai's family will be cold long ago." .”

Cixi asked again: "How do the governors of other provinces react? How about Hu Pinzhi, the governor of Shanxi? What about Wang Zhankui, the governor of Baoding Prefecture?"

Cixi even mentioned two places closer to the capital, and she was also furious. She didn't want to think about Hu Pinzhi as the main general of Westernization and participated in the formulation of the reform reform. Cixi was still thinking about how to deal with him the day before yesterday, and Wang Zhankui was the commander of the Huai army. It would be hell if the two of them could lead troops to rescue them.

Minister of Military Aircraft Sun Yuwen said loudly: "Lafayette, don't be in a hurry. The capital has more than [-] new troops from Nanyuan, plus the fifth battalion to be patrolled, is enough to resist the bandit army."

Cixi had the intention of killing Sun Yuwen. It would be better if this old man didn't mention it. Cixi knew better than anyone what the Nanyuan New Army was. It was easier to convince her that sows could climb trees.

Cixi ignored Sun Yuwen, so she had no choice but to go forward and said: "Lafayette, Hu Pinzhi and Wang Zhankui are very close to the rebels, so they should not come to escort them. By order. Other governors, other governors..."

"How about the other governors?" Cixi asked in a bad mood.

Gang Yi wiped off his sweat, knelt down and said, "The other governors either didn't call back, or they persuaded Lafayette to abdicate and hand over the power to the emperor."
