Eunuchs who traveled through the Qing Dynasty

Brows were extremely angry, and he said in a hateful voice: "Did you just say those words for nothing? Okay! Xiao Ran, you go, if you dare to walk out of this room, don't regret it!"

In fact, the original intention in her heart was to hurt me with what Xiao Ran said just now, so she didn't come to coax me. If she left like this, I would never talk to him again!But when he was angry, he didn't speak so clearly. In Xiao Ran's ears, he obviously misunderstood. He turned around suddenly, stared at his eyebrows like a knife, and said word by word: "You Want to kill me?!"

"Ah?" Mei didn't realize it for a while, she was used to being pampered, of course she would not be as sensitive as Xiao Ran who used to beg for life in the cracks, so when she just heard this sentence, her brain was obviously short-circuited.Xiao Ran is different. In fact, after seeing Mei's reaction just now, he has already started to regret it. After all, this is the Forbidden City, and the Empress Dowager is in front of her. If she is not careful, she will lose her head!

When he was secretly nervous, he heard Mei's nonsensical sentence.Naturally, another meaning came to mind.His expression changed abruptly, and the candlelight reflected on the face that had become hideous due to muscle tension, making it frightening.

Seeing Li Ran's expression for the first time, his heart was hit hard with a sledgehammer, and he couldn't even breathe.If it weren't for the hands still supporting the table, he would have fallen to the ground immediately.Putting his hand on his chest, he sat there in a daze, and after a while he murmured: "Xiao Ran. Do you really miss me that much?"

"What do you want me to think of you?"

Xiao Ran opened his skirt.The probe pulled out the six-shot handgun from his waist.Because of his special status.No one dared to search him when he entered or left the palace, so he always carried the pistol with him.Eyebrow saw that he took out the gun, and said in her heart: Yes, the third son is afraid that I will kill him, so he must strike first!Is it my destiny to die at the hands of the person I love the most?At this point, all thoughts are lost.In the past, the flowers and the moon, the sweet words are now like steel knives and sharp swords.All pierced in the heart, tears fell like rain.

But Xiao Ran turned the handle of the gun, handed it to his eyebrows, and said: "Do it."

"what?"

Eyebrows couldn't help being startled, Xiao Ran snorted, and said sarcastically: "I don't think I've taken your country, so I can do it now. The world is at peace now, kill me, and you will be able to protect your future foundation in the Qing Dynasty. From then on, you can sit back and relax, okay? Come on, think about it all. What else is there to do?"

His eyebrows were trembling with anger, he stretched out his arms tremblingly, and pointed at Xiao Ran: "Get out!"

"Why, give me a size?"

"roll!!!"

Mei shouted out with all her strength.The room fell silent for a moment, except for a heavy, short gasp.After a while, Xiao Ran said word by word: "Okay. I'll walk out of this room right now, and you don't regret it!"

After saying this, Xiao Ran turned around and left.As soon as he took two steps, he heard the sound of thumping and ping-pong behind him. When he turned his head, he saw his eyebrows and the carved chair falling to the ground together.At this time, Xiao Ran didn't have time to think about it, he just rushed forward instinctively, hugged his eyebrows in his arms, and saw her forehead was bumping against the table leg, with traces of blood oozing out, her face was pale, her eyes were closed tightly, Putting his hand under her nose to test it, he was already as angry as a spring.Xiao Ran panicked immediately, pulled off the handkerchief tucked in her skirt and pressed it firmly, then freed a hand to pinch her, and shouted, "Sister? Meier, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"

Fortunately, Mei was only very angry for a moment, she let out a sigh of relief after being shaken and pinched by him, she opened her eyes and saw that she was lying in Xiao Ran's arms, and burst into tears immediately, crying unceasingly.Two fists rained down on Xiao Ran, and he cried, "Didn't you leave? What else do I do? Anyway, anyway, you don't want me anymore, so you might as well let me die! Woohoo, dead eunuch, You go, you go! It's in vain that I'm so devoted to you, but you treat me like this! You, you have no conscience! Woohoo!..."

The empress dowager, who is the mother of the world, is crying so much that the rain hits the pear blossoms, with snot and tears, and she can't cry.Xiao Ran suddenly realized: I'm too nervous!At the beginning, my sister went through many hardships for me, and almost lost her life. How could it be reversed to harm me?Besides she's not like that

!Feeling very regretful for a moment, said: "Good girl, I was wrong, I shouldn't miss you like that. You hit it, if you feel relieved, hit it twice more, hit hard!"

Eyebrow glanced at him, wiped her tears and said: "If you don't fight, who cares!"

Xiao Ran said: "Okay, if you don't want to hit it, I'll hit it for you." Turning his head, he saw a big silver-handled spoon for soup on the table, grabbed it and pointed it at his forehead.With a bang, his eyebrows jumped in fright, he grabbed the silver spoon and threw it aside, saying: "Are you crazy?"

Xiao Ran grinned and said, "I'm really crazy if you ignore me. Good sister, don't you get angry?"

Eyebrows: "What's this? It's cold for a while, hot for a while, and coaxed when you're done, you don't feel ashamed!" Thinking of Xiao Ran's words and deeds just now, he still felt sad, and couldn't help but shed tears again.

Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows, put her on the brocade couch, took off his boots and lay down beside him, stretched out his arms to hold her in his arms.At first Mei struggled and refused, but he couldn't resist his strength, so he let him.Neither of them spoke, they just hugged each other quietly.After a long time, Mei Youyou sighed, and said: "Little Sanzi, is it really that important for you men to be kings and emperors and achieve supremacy?"

Hearing her tone, Xiao Ran felt his heart move, and said, "What do you think?"

Eyebrow pondered for a while, and then slowly said: "I married into the palace at the age of 14 and became a queen. In those years, the emperor Daxing was in charge of government affairs. Today, the hair grows into chaos, and tomorrow the foreigners invade, let alone the famine. Years ago, refugees were everywhere, taxes and taxes were difficult to maintain, and the court was not in order... Worrying and worrying, I often couldn't sleep at night, and even I was sad when I saw it. Later, I took over the burden of the queen mother, and she was like trying to catch a duck to the shelf. I have to be on guard all day long, guarding against others coming to harm me. If it weren't for having you by my side, I, the Queen Mother, would have already... Sigh, I really don't know why people in the world are trying to fight for this dragon chair with their heads smashed. So what if you fight? Toil to death, but a handful of loess."

Xiao Ran said: "What if I really want to?"

She bit her lip, rolled her eyes at Xiao Ran, and said, "He...he is already yours, what do you think?"

Xiao Ran was overjoyed, turned over and sat up, grabbed Mei's hand, and said: "Mei'er, are you telling the truth?"

Mei sighed helplessly, and nodded slightly.This is the biggest difference between Mei and Lan'er. She has no desire for power and no competition, even among the concubines, she has never been jealous. She is a typical good wife and mother.In her conception, since she and Xiao Ran already have bed curtains, she has already put herself in the position of his wife.Marry a chicken as a chicken, marry a dog as a dog, in her opinion, this is the duty of a woman.

But agreeing to agreeing, in her heart, she still disapproved of Xiao Ran's actions.It's not because he is a Manchu, in fact, ever since he was with Xiao Ran, he has emotionally betrayed Xianfeng and the ancestral precepts; Mei is more worried, but it is Xiao Ran.She has no doubt that with this man's intelligence, ability, and courage, he has a great chance of being pushed to the Qing government, worrying about the country and the people, and working hard on state affairs?Besides, although the Qing court was corrupt, the centipede was dead but not stiff. One can imagine how much risk and price one would have to take to completely overthrow it.

Xiao Ran saw Mei's worry, smiled slightly, and said, "Mei'er, do you think I really want to be emperor?"

Eyebrows startled, said: "Isn't it?"

"What's so good about the emperor's seat? I'm not that stupid if I've worked so hard, and no one cares about it, and I have to guard against others usurping power and taking the throne. Eyebrow, said softly: "Being able to have you, Yu Ting, Xue Yao, a bunch of beautiful wives and beautiful concubines, and having two children under my knees, I have taken all the blessings that a man can enjoy, and I want to do other things." What? I once told Yuting and the others that the biggest dream in this life is to retire early, find a paradise, far away from the troubles of the world, and only watch over you and a large group of children. Let's live happily. Love each other until we are old. How relaxed and comfortable should such a life be?"

With a pair of eyebrows and beautiful eyes in high spirits, he put his arms around Xiao Ran's neck and said: "You, what you said is true? Little Sanzi, this is also my biggest dream!" Suddenly he was a little puzzled, and said: "If this is the case, why are you Said the same thing again? Huh, so you lied to me on purpose!"

"No, I didn't lie to you." Xiao Ran took a deep breath, and said slowly: "The Manchu Qing Dynasty must be overthrown. Otherwise, there will be no Xanadu on the land of China!" (

Eyebrow glanced at Xiao Ran, he hesitated to speak.Xiao Ran smiled, and said: "I must think that because I am a Han, I hate the Manchus and must oppose the Qings. In fact, this is not the case. If the Manchus do not come to rule China now, but replace it with any dynasty of the Hans, I will do the same." Kanmei looked surprised, and added: "Because, today's China does not need a king!"

"There is no king? Is it still called a country?" Brows was very surprised when he heard such remarks for the first time, "A bird cannot fly without a head, and a country cannot live without a king!"

"Yes, the United States of America, isn't it such a country? There is also Britain and France. Although they have crown princes, the real control of the country's affairs is the prime minister and the two houses of parliament." Xiao Ran pondered for a while, and said: "The political system, It is not static. From primitive tribes who drank blood in ancient times to slave society and feudal kings, history is always being revised and progressed. Western powers are strong today precisely because they found a regime suitable for the industrial age before us. way, before we broke down the emperor’s fortress, and started to change. For today’s China, the biggest problem is not who will sit on the dragon chair, but the feudal dynasty system itself has become the biggest obstacle restricting China’s development.”

Although Xiao Ran didn't study politics, Ma Zhe had studied it after all, and he was very eloquent when he talked about these theoretical knowledge with Mei.At the moment, I searched my stomach and tried my best to explain them one by one.Ma Zhe is undoubtedly boring. When he first learned it, he was like a knife holder neck, but it cannot be denied that it was in the middle of the nineteenth century.Ma Zhe has unparalleled scientific and forward-looking.And Mei has been in contact with government affairs for more than a year. Many difficulties, doubts, and government disputes in some places have been gradually sorted out following Xiao Ran's explanations, and she suddenly feels enlightened.

Of course, Xiao Ran did not look forward to the great stage of communism. In fact, the most suitable way to get rid of the feudal regime is to build an unprecedentedly powerful capitalist empire.

There is a long way to go.Xiao Ran raised two eyebrows.I searched slowly on the brocade couch in the Empress Dowager's bedroom.The road to power.After all, it is not something that can be summed up in a few words. Unknowingly, I saw that the window paper had turned white, and it turned out that a whole night had passed.Mei was in high spirits and didn't feel sleepy at all, but Xiao Ran still had important things to do, so he bid farewell to Mei and hurried out of the palace.Go back to Xiao Mansion in Yuqianer Hutong in the north of the city.

Lin Qing'er and Nayan Ziqing, with their new daughter-in-law and Gong Xingzi, returned to the Xiao Mansion yesterday.Sachiko was very disturbed, because in ancient Japan, the concubine's status was generally extremely low, even inferior to the geisha she raised.Thinking that he was about to face a large group of wives like Xiao Ran, including two genuine princesses of the Qing Dynasty.Unavoidable anxiety.After entering the Xiao Mansion.Seeing that Yu Ting, Xue Yao and others are more beautiful than each other, not to mention Princess Ning Wei, she is like a fairy descending from the earth.Overwhelm the country and the city.Xingzi was even more ashamed of herself, and her heart was half cold.

What I didn't expect was that Yu Ting and the others were friendly, and even the princess sisters didn't have the slightest airs, instead they pulled her to ask her questions.As for Mrs. Xiao, she also encountered twists and turns when she was young. After hearing about Xingzi's life experience, she became more sympathetic, hugged her in her arms, and persuaded her to shed tears.

When Xiao Ran returned to the mansion, he saw that this family was happy and harmonious, respecting and loving each other, just like a good family.The wives seemed to be used to his style of work, and they would bring back a little wife every time they went on an expedition, so except for Ning Xin who pinched him a few times, the others basically didn't express any major dissatisfaction.

Xiao Ran didn't care about being intimate with his wives, he looked at his old lady and the couple of children, and hurried to a study in the back house.Pushing open the door, I saw a medium-sized but somewhat aggressive figure, bending over and looking at something on the table in a daze.

Xiao Ran said: "Uncle, is everything okay?"

The man turned his head when he heard the sound, and it was Shi Dakai, the former Wing King of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.After this period of recuperation, the injuries on his body have recovered and he is full of energy.He clenched his fists at Xiao Ran and said, "Subordinates see..."

Xiao Ran hurriedly took a step away, and said, "Uncle, what are you doing? Why don't you kill your son-in-law!"

Shi Dakai said sternly: "There are no rules and no rules. In the past, I was Qing'er's uncle, so I naturally regarded you as my son-in-law; but now that the [-] army is complete, you are the lord, so I naturally want to see you as a monarch and minister." As he said that, he lifted up the hem of his robe, and it looked like he was going to bow down!

Xiao Ran hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.Shi Dakai met each other with the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers, which clearly meant that he would honor Xiao Ran as his wife.

The matter was successful, and he became the uncle of the country naturally.Of course Xiao Ran could guess that he was Old Shi, I'm afraid I will disappoint you this time!Said: "Farewell, what is the land of the lord and the subject, we are obviously a family, why are we so divided? Uncle, please sit down."

After hearing this, Shi Dakai was overjoyed and said: "We value love and righteousness, Qing'er really did not misunderstand you, and found a good son-in-law for me!"

The two sat down separately, and then Xiao Ran said: "Uncle, is the big deal over?"

Shi Dakai's eyes flickered, he pointed to the table and said, "My lord... my son-in-law, please take a look!"

On the table is a map made of silk, starting from Heilongjiang in the north and extending to the Yangtze River in the south, including mountains, rivers, cities and towns.Although it is not as rigorous and standardized as the maps of later generations, Xiao Ran took a look at them and found that the discrepancies are not too big.

On the map, a scarlet arrow traced from Tongguan to the north of the Yellow River to Yanzhou, crossed Luliang Mountain, and went straight to the capital.Xiao Ran was very excited, pointed at the red arrow, and said, "This is our team?"

"Yes!" Shi Da nodded and smiled.

It turned out that this team was the remnants of the Taiping Army and the Nian Army in Shandong and Henan.As the war situation in the south of the Yangtze River continued to deteriorate, the Taiping Army and the Nian Bandits in the two provinces of Shandong and Henan merged into two groups, commanded by Zhang Zongyu and Lai Wenguang respectively, and fought north and south to resist the Qing court.But no one expected that Tianjing would be conquered so quickly. The Hunan Army and Chu Army immediately crossed the Yangtze River and marched northward. In less than a month, they had joined forces with the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion, forming a north-south pincer attack.In the Battle of Liutanghe, Lai Wenguang's troops were encircled by the Qing army, and almost the entire army was wiped out. Only the troops fought a bloody road with more than a thousand people to protect Lai Wenguang from leaving.

Although Zhang Zongyu's troops did not encounter the main force of the Qing army, seeing that the general situation was over, they had to retreat to Xi'an and Yulin.At this time, most of the Qing soldiers were already equipped with new-style rifles and heavy-duty howitzers, and fought and ran all the way. When they arrived in Yulin, only 2 of the more than [-] troops remained.

In western China, the war has always been relatively chaotic. Excluding the forces of the Nian Army, there are still many ethnic conflicts accumulated in history. In addition, the Eight Banners Army and the Green Battalion garrisoned there are outdated in weapons.Zhang Zongyu and Lai Wenguang took the opportunity to teach and moved to the front line of Shaanxi and Gansu.However, after repeated defeats, the Nian army was short of clothing, food, money and guns, and their supplies were difficult to sustain.
