Rebirth of the Northern Giants

Zai Yi bowed her head and said nothing, but her expression was very bad.

Mr. Wu glanced left and right, asked people to close the door, and then said softly: "My lord, you have a noble status, and my subordinates are devoted to you. I don't know if I should tell you something."

Zai Yi became interested, and asked involuntarily, "What's the matter?"

Mr. Wu hesitated to speak, and said: "This subordinate speaks too aggressively, I'm afraid you will blame me, my lord."

"It's okay for you to say, I will think about it myself."

Mr. Wu gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, as if he had made up his mind, he said: "My lord, Lafayette has been dissatisfied with the current emperor for a long time, but he is full of praise for the little lord. It's just that he can't make up his mind for a while. Why don't you help her do this, lord?" Decide."

Startled, Zaiyi stretched her neck and asked, "You mean?"

Mr. Wu made a beheading motion with his hands.

Zaiyi turned pale with shock, waved his hands again and again and said: "At least he is still my emperor of the Qing Dynasty now, how can I do such a king-killing thing."

Seeing that Mr. Wu came up with such a good idea for Zaiyi, Jiang Chaozong said repeatedly: "My lord, this subordinate also thought the same way just now. I never thought that Mr. Wu would say that he is non-toxic and not a husband. A soft heart will not make a big deal. Once the little prince takes the throne, you will be under one person and above ten thousand people. Ye Zhikui and others will lose the slogan of protecting the emperor. My boxer has the prince's warrant, so why worry about big things being uncertain"

There was a hint of excitement on Zaiyi's face, but he said: "We will talk about this later, we are still discussing how to retreat from the enemy."

Mr. Wu is very grateful to Jiang Chaozong. He is not afraid of enemies like gods, but allies like pigs.He believed that his words had already planted a seed in Zaiyi's heart. With Jiang Chaozong watering and fertilizing, why not worry about him not taking root, sprouting, blooming and bearing fruit in a short time.

Gang Yi and Zai Yi were on the move, so Sun Yuwen naturally had no reason to be idle.

Holding the imperial edict of Empress Dowager Cixi, he first approached the Russian embassy in China.

Chekhov, the Russian ambassador to China, personally greeted him at the gate of the embassy, ​​which made Sun Yuwen feel flattered and moved.

Sun Yuwen straight to the point brought up Cixi's request for help, bluntly saying that there are any conditions that can be discussed afterwards.

As soon as Chekov heard it, he was already happy. This is a godsend opportunity. He first used some words of Sun Yuwen, and when he learned that the Qing army stationed in the Northeast actually went south to suppress the bandits, he couldn't help thinking about it in his heart. .

Seeing that Chekhov was silent, Sun Yuwen urged anxiously: "Mr. Ambassador, please lead the troops to rescue him no matter what."

Chekov agreed, and said: "Please rest assured, the Queen Mother of your country. Our Russian Empire and the Qing Dynasty have always had good relations. The emperor of our country will definitely not stand by and watch the turmoil in your country."

Seeing that Sun Yuwen's face changed from worry to joy, Chekhov continued: "I will send a telegram to ask His Majesty to send the Far East Fleet from Vladivostok, and then attack Tianjin, where the Wu Yi Army is stationed. With the team attacking from both sides, it is easy to wipe out the thieves."

Sun Yuwen couldn't sit still when he heard this, and hurriedly said goodbye and went back to the palace to report the good news to Cixi.

After Chekov waited for him to leave, he cursed inwardly, got up and sent a telegram to the tsar: Civil turmoil is about to break out in the Qing Dynasty, and Cixi is asking for help from our country. It is a good time to send troops. I hope His Majesty will consider for himself and consider sending troops to the three eastern provinces. .

Volume Two, The Wind and Cloud in the Capital

In the early morning of May 5th, Wu Dashan led more than 9 cavalry and finally arrived at the capital, lurking in a secret place not far from the outer city. The outer city was populated by some Han and Hui people, and the inner city was populated by Eight Banners officers and soldiers and their families. The Fifth Patrol Battalion is distributed in the outer city, and the Eight Banners Infantry Battalion is mainly stationed in the inner city. (When you read the novel, you will go to Ye Zi·you~you)

Gangyi also dispatched part of the Boxers and Eight Banners infantry battalions to garrison the outer city, and the Nanyuan New Army and other Eight Banners infantry battalions to garrison the inner city.The nine gates of the inner city and the seven gates of the outer city are guarded respectively.

The situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, and Ye Zhikui didn't think about keeping Cixi at first. At that time, he just thought that it would be enough to occupy the capital, but now that there are enough troops, of course he must not let Cixi escape safely.

In this way, Wu Dashan did not need to attack and seize Andingmen first, clearing the way for the arrival of the army, because once Wu Yi's army occupied Andingmen, and Cixi saw that the capital's soldiers and horses were useless, even a thousand Wuyi troops would not be able to seize them back. It is very possible to escape from the capital, so it is better for Wu Dashan to see the situation first, investigate the deployment of soldiers and horses in the capital, and wait for the army to arrive to attack together.

At around [-]:[-] in the morning, the sky was slightly bright, and the boxer defense zone in the outer city.

Swaggering outside the city gate, a few boxers dressed in red cloth heads and armed with big knives suddenly walked in. The leader was actually Huo Yuanjia. Someone at the city gate saw him and shouted, "Who are you?"

"Blind your dog's eyes, didn't you see that it was the elder brother?" A person next to Huo Yuanjia pointed at him and replied angrily.

"Senior brother? Wait a moment, I'll call the old patriarch." Boxer didn't know Huo Yuanjia, but he didn't dare to neglect when he heard that he was a senior brother, so he hurried to find Cao Futian and others.

Soon, Liu Chengxiang rushed over, and when he saw Huo Yuanjia, he hurriedly asked to open the city gate to let him enter the city.

Liu Chengxiang greeted him and said, "Brother Huo"

Huo Yuanjia looked left and right, and quickly stopped: "It's not convenient to talk here, let's go in and talk."

After the two went in, they saw Mr. Wu and Cao Futian waiting inside the house.

Huo Yuanjia bowed to Mr. Wu, clasped his fists at the other two, and then said: "Three, General Wu's army has arrived."

Cao Futian exclaimed in surprise, and praised: "Wu Yi's army is really not to be underestimated. In just two days, they ran for more than three hundred miles."

Huo Yuanjia also echoed: "The higher-ups asked me to assist the Wu Yi Army. Huo has spent these days in the army, so he knows what a strong army is. No matter how good your martial arts are, you are afraid of guns, but you don't know what the Thirteen Eagles and Wu Yi Army are. what does it matter"

The three of them set their eyes on Mr. Wu at the same time. Mr. Wu has the highest level here, and of course he knows the most inside information. (When you read the novel, you will go to Ye Zi·you~you)

Mr. Wu smiled slightly, but did not answer directly, and said: "When the time comes, you will naturally know, brother Huo, why did General Wu send you here?"

Although Huo Yuanjia could guess that the Thirteen Eagles and Wu Yijun had a lot to do with each other, but the guess is a guess after all, and it will never be taken as true until it is confirmed. He really wanted to know, but if Mr. Wu didn't say anything, he had no choice but to change the topic .

"The plan has changed. In order to prevent the old witch Cixi from escaping, General Wu decided not to seize the gate of the city, and wait until the army arrives before catching the turtle in a urn." Huo Yuanjia explained his purpose clearly.

Mr. Wu frowned slightly, and said, "So, don't tell me we won't be needed for the time being."

"No, General Wu hopes that you will cooperate with him in a play, so that the old hag can calm down."

"Really? Please speak slowly."

...

Soon, Huo Yuanjia led a dozen people to transport a cart of things out of the city gate, and transported them to the secret hiding place of Wu Dashan's cavalry.

"Is this the thing?" Wu Dashan picked up a bullet casually, thinking to himself that it is no different from ordinary ammunition from the outside.

Huo Yuanjia smiled and said: "General Wu, why don't you try it and you will know the truth."

"That's true." Wu Dashan grunted, picked up one, put it into the gun, and then shot at the small tree not far away. With a bang, the sound was decent, but after the smoke passed, the small tree Not even a little bit of fur was damaged.

Wu Dashan nodded in satisfaction, and just to be on the safe side, he fired a few more shots at the army horse before he dared to shoot anyone. He didn't let him down, and nothing happened.

This bullet was the gunpowder used by the Boxers to demonstrate their magical skills to the court, and it was really sharp enough.

Wu Dashan laughed and said: "Thank you Brother Huo, with this thing, why don't you worry about bullying Cixi."

Wu Dashan passed on the order, and the whole cavalry team distributed several bullets of this kind.

Huo Yuanjia secretly praised in his heart: This general Wu is similar to Zhang Fei in the Three Kingdoms period, with fine details in the rough, worthy of being a general.

At about eight o'clock, there was a commotion in the outer city of Beijing. It turned out that soldiers from the Wuyi Army appeared not far away. Soldiers from the Patrol Battalion ran around, shouting:

"It's not good, Wu Yi's army is coming."

"Quick, let's flee to the inner city. The gangsters and officials are hiding inside and dare not come out. They want us to die. I'm not stupid, run away!"

Wu Dashan's [-]-horse team was like thunder, but Wu Yi's army hadn't fired a single shot, and the patrol battalion was in such a mess. Everything, just rush to the Summer Palace and capture Cixi directly.
