Eunuchs who traveled through the Qing Dynasty

Waiting until it was dark, the turning point appeared.A group of Qing soldiers came from the southwest direction, at least thousands of people, and ping-pong-pong caught fire with the foreign devils.At the same time, Zhengxiong also drove over a group of Qing soldiers, desperately attacking the outer line of defense of the foreign devils.Although a large number of Qing soldiers continued to fall under the crossfire of flowering bullets and sophisticated firearms, no one retreated, just like moths to the flame, and they rushed one after another without thinking about their own safety. People who watched were shocked!

The defenders of Longwang Town took the opportunity to break out to the west, the city gate opened, and countless Qing soldiers swept over like a tide.Although the foreign devils had sharp weapons, they felt a little nervous after these two blows. They hastily mobilized troops from the east and north to come for reinforcements.

"This is the opportunity!" Xiao Ran ordered, and the team rushed out of the valley and slipped into the devil's encirclement.The smoke from the last round of shooting has not completely cleared away, and the night is low, which puts an invisible camouflage on the team.

The devil sentinels in charge of guarding the periphery were quietly killed.Most of the musketeers inside rushed to the west for reinforcements, and the rest were covering the gunners and constantly firing at the city.Seeing these swaggering guys, everyone thought they were friendly troops coming for reinforcements, but no one thought that they were actually a group of hungry wolves in sheep's clothing.Under the cover of gunpowder, Duan Xingnian quietly moved forward with thirty sharp swordsmen.

brush!brush!A blade of light flashed and then disappeared.Dozens of devils fell down in a daze, and Cheng Tong arrived quickly with the gunners. With a violent shelling, the gunpowder smoke became thicker.The sharpshooter took the opportunity to occupy a favorable terrain, and the muzzle of the black hole was always ready to spray the flames of revenge.

brush! ...After a few rounds of sharp knife, the encirclement has been torn apart abruptly.The ghosts on both sides looked at the thicker and thicker gunpowder smoke, and they were very strange. Wow wow wow, they wanted to come over to see what happened.But as soon as it entered the gunpowder smoke, it was like a stone sinking into the ocean, without a trace.

Duan Xingnian quickly opened a passage with Kuaishou, and threw the imperial waist cards of Xiao Ran and E Longze onto the wall.The Qing soldiers inside saw them and reported to the commander. After a while, the city gate opened with a bang, a group of Qing soldiers shot the ground with shotguns, and sent a general to investigate.Xiao Ran and E Longze had been waiting there for a long time, and rushed forward to meet them. They couldn't help but be surprised. They saw that the man had a wide mouth and a thick black beard. He was the first-class bodyguard Mei Liang just!Xiao Ran slapped his forehead: Damn it!Could it be that the big fish inside is actually Xianfeng? !

The unlucky guy who was besieged in Longwang Town was really Xianfeng.It turned out that after the fall of Tianjin, the ministers of the DPRK and China quickly divided into two factions, one was the main combat faction headed by Sushun, and the other was the main peace faction headed by Yixin.The two factions insisted on their own words, criticizing each other with words and pens, and they made a lot of trouble.Xianfeng originally advocated the use of force, but he hesitated after repeated defeats on the front line and heavy casualties.In the battle of Nianzishan, the Qing army won a major victory for the first time, and the forces of the main battle faction rose. Shengbao gave another report, saying that Xiao Ran was in charge of the battle, the soldiers were grateful to Mu Tianen, their courage was doubled, and the Pacific Ocean was just around the corner.This time Xianfeng couldn't help being ready to move. In order to attack the Gong party forces, Sushun took the opportunity to collude with the military ministers to join the Dao Zhezi, urging the emperor to follow the example of Emperor Kangxi's imperial conquest, and conquered Tongzhou.

Xianfeng accepted the scriptures, and he really hesitated for several days after thinking about it, and finally couldn't stand the instigation of the ministers, and decided to put all his eggs in one basket.It's really unlucky to say that he didn't come sooner or later, but he left Beijing when Tongzhou was defeated, and happened to be besieged by a French advance force in Longwang Town.Fortunately, this time he had Liu Fu Jingshou and his own army escorting him to resist desperately. He even held on for a day and a night, which is rare and tight.

Mei Liangfu was overjoyed to see Xiao Ran, and quickly moved the holy car to break out from the east gate.The gang of princes and ministers ran out in a panic, and Xiao Ran was delighted to see it.I saw Zaiyuan, Prince Yi, Jingshou with six foreheads, ministers of military aircraft Du Han, Wen Xiang, and the military aircraft Jiao Youying of Mazi.What's more, there is a master of the ninety-fifth rank, his face is flushed, and he is almost out of breath with a cough.

Xiao Ran commanded the soldiers to find quilts, soak them in water, put them on Xianfeng and the ministers, and retreat eastward.The foreign devils had sensed something was wrong at this time, and rushed to the east gate one after another, but Cheng Tong's curved cannon seemed to have eyes, and it was accurate and ruthless, making the three teams of foreign soldiers dumb.The pro-army led by Jing Shou was selected from the middle ranks of the Eight Banners Army. Their combat effectiveness was extremely fierce.

The whole battle took less than half an hour, seeing that Sheng Jia had successfully broken through, Xiao Ran ordered the sharpshooters to withdraw from the position alternately under cover, marched along the valley, and headed straight for Xingyuan County.

I didn't meet any foreign soldiers along the way, and I hurried to Xingyuan, it was already late at night.Xiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to look for Xueyao, when Ming Quan came running out of breath, pulled him and said, "My Lord Xiao, you are free! Master Long is angry and smashing things over there, and he speaks like a If you want to kill someone, go and have a look, now you are probably the only one who can persuade you!"

Xiao Ran followed him to Xianfeng's house to see that Zai Yuan, Jing Shou, and Du Han were running around in a hurry.There was a roar in the room: "Get out! What do you want you bastards to do? Look at the sick and look at the sick, the more you look at the sick, the more sick you are! Get out, and get in the way of this place. At least one by one, you will be beheaded, and you will be clean!"

Then there was a bang, and something broke.The door was pushed open, and the two accompanying imperial physicians retreated tremblingly, almost tripping over the threshold.

Military plane Jiao Youying had sharp eyes, saw Xiao Ran from a long distance, clapped his hands and said: "Okay, Eunuch Xiao is here, we will be saved today!" Everyone hurriedly gathered around, Zai Yuan said: "Eunuch Xiao, brother Xiao, the emperor this time I'm really in a hurry! Anyway, we are a group of people, brother, go and talk to us."

Xiao Ran wondered: "What did the lord say, I'm a slave, how could the emperor listen to me. Besides, you adults, could it be possible that you have offended the emperor?"

Jing Shou has always been clumsy, pointed at Zai Yuan and said in a low voice: "It's all his fault!" Zai Yuan exclaimed: "What do you mean by blaming me? The benefits belong to everyone, and I am the only one to bear the blame. Why do you use me as a gourd?" Scoop?"

Du Han hurriedly smoothed things over and said: "Isn't that right? A while ago we jointly handed in a letter to urge the emperor to conscript himself. We didn't expect such a result. Now the emperor is very annoyed and wants to be punished. Brother Xiao, At any rate, you are a great contributor to the rescue, so hurry up and say something nice for us!"

Xiao Ran laughed secretly when he heard this, and said to himself that whoever made you full and full deserved it.But he pretended to be embarrassed, and said: "Adults are all ministers of the humerus and pillars of the country. My little third son has to say this if he goes up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire. But the adults don't know that the little third son has a number one Disadvantages: When this mouth is good, it can be nimble, but when you are nervous, you will stutter, and when you stutter, you will be even more nervous. You say that the Long Live God is angry, if I am nervous and say, say, say something wrong, or something... Bah Look, tight, tight, tight."

Du Han is an old, treacherous guy, how can he not see his evil intentions, his face turned green for a while, and he secretly said to you boy, you dare to take advantage of the master!But there was a smile on his face, and he said: "We can all believe in my brother, if you can't do it, then no one else can do it!" He took out a gold pocket watch from his bosom, with a The boss had a cat's eye, and he stuffed it into Xiao Ran's hand through gritted teeth.Others understood immediately when they saw it, finger pullers, bracelets, and snuff bottles were stuffed one after another, which made Xiao Ran feel quite embarrassed, and resolutely refused.

It wasn't until Zai Yuan couldn't bear it and said, "If you don't accept it, you don't want to show face and look down on others", Xiao Ran reluctantly took this little treasure in his pocket.When he came outside Xianfeng's room, he called out "Long Live Lord" twice, but seeing no one answered, he gently opened the door and walked in.

Xianfeng was leaning against the window at this time, staring at the stars for a long time in a daze.There are some battle reports scattered on the ground, and a glance shows that it is nothing more than some foreign barbarians from Yongqing and Tongzhou who divided their troops into the north, burned, killed and looted all the way, and marched towards Beijing; Both the Infantry Battalion and the Fourth Battalion of Shenji Battalion had more than half of their casualties. The unlucky Shengbao was intercepted by foreign soldiers again, and almost the whole army was wiped out... So Xiao Ran understood why Xianfeng wanted to kill people.

Xianfeng was silent for a long time, then suddenly whispered:

"Don't lean on a railing alone,

Infinite country,

Separation is easier than reunion.

Flowing water and flowers are gone,

Heaven and earth. "

Her voice was rough and trembling, and her melancholy revealed infinite desolation.After hearing this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but sigh for him.This song "Lang Tao Sha" was written by Li Yu, the empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Xianfeng used it to sing at this time, and you can get a glimpse of his state of mind.After thinking about it for a while, I also chanted a poem:

"The universe can be big,

Count Jiaolong,

It was not a thing in the pool.

There is no place to worry about the wind and rain,

That's even colder on the four walls.

Yokohama inscription poem,

Ascend the tower to make a fu,

Everything is snow.

The river flows like this,

Fang Lai also has Yingjie. "

Xianfeng was fascinated by listening to it for a while, but he forgot to look back, and murmured: "Henglong writes poems, climbs up buildings to compose poems, and everything is snowing in the sky...Mr. Wenshan is really good at Ci. To die without extinguishing ambition is to make us ashamed..." I repeated it several times, and then I remembered that there was someone behind me.Looking back, it was Xiao Ran, with a dull smile on his face.

Xiao Ran looked at his face and was startled.How can this still be the majestic king of a country?Xianfeng was originally very handsome, but unfortunately, after the combined destruction of illness and military disasters, the double torture of body and spirit, he was already haggard and out of shape.The forehead was waxy yellow from the forehead to the nape, and there was only a strange flush on the cheekbones. The eye sockets were sunken, and the two eyeballs seemed to be tied by an invisible thread, and it was very difficult to even turn them.

Seeing him like this, anyone would feel unbearable.Xiao Ran also forgot to say hello, and stepped forward to close the window for him, saying: "The autumn is cold, and the night is still colder. Long live you have to take care of the dragon body. After all, we have to rely on you to support our great Qing Dynasty."

Xianfeng gave a wry smile, shook his head and said, "You're still supporting me, now I need someone to support me. In today's battle, I need you, a slave, to save me. Alas, there is no one in the Qing Dynasty, no one in the Qing Dynasty Already!"

Xiao Ran said in his heart that if you really have such thoughts, you should ask yourself why. "Long Live Lord, don't say that, today's battle is not due to Xiao Sanzi alone. If there were no other two troops that attracted most of the firepower of the foreign devils, the Huoqi Battalion would never have been able to open the enemy's encirclement. of."

"Hehe, you are not greedy for merit. The last victory in Nianzishan was obviously your work, but you gave all the credit to Shengbao and the others. It would be a compliment if Er Longze hadn't secretly given me a Taoist book After talking about you, I really thought there was nothing to do with you." After Xianfeng said these words, his body felt tired, and Xiao Ran leaned on the brocade couch to wait on him.After coughing a few times, the topic suddenly changed: "Is it because you know that you will be poisoned to death sooner or later, so you don't want to take credit for it, and simply pass it on to others?"

Xiao Ran's expression changed immediately, and he couldn't help touching the six-shot pistol on his waist, but it was only for a moment, and then he lowered his hand as if nothing had happened, and said calmly: "I don't dare to hide it, there is indeed a reason for this. "

"Hey, you are still honest to me." Xianfeng leaned back slightly, not noticing his strangeness, "Yes, the Qing ancestor system did not allow eunuchs to be military supervisors. But you have made great contributions to Nianzishan, today You also saved my brother, and the gang outside... a bunch of trash. Sigh, the more loyal you are, the more difficult it is for me!"

Xiao Ran was startled, and said: "Long Live Lord means..."

"Poison wine is always to be given, but your third son has always been blessed and fateful. I don't know if I can kill you with poison." Xianfeng sighed deliberately after finishing speaking.

Surprised and delighted, Xiao Ran blurted out: "Ah, the emperor said... Xiao Ran thanked Lord Long En!" He knelt down on the ground with a plop, knocked his head loudly, which shocked Xianfeng.

"Xie En will be exempted. It's not easy for me to give you any rewards for this job of supervising the army." Xianfeng shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It's a pity, why are you just an eunuch!"

Xiao Ran couldn't help being moved: taking this opportunity, if you tell me that I am a fake eunuch, what will happen?Before he could open his mouth, Xianfeng continued: "It's rare that the queen has such thoughtfulness, and she can teach you well. By the way, how many years have you been in Kunning Palace? The queen really misses you. You became a military supervisor, and she still had a lot of trouble with me before. Hmph, you are the only slave who can make her care so much."

..., Xiao Ran sighed helplessly, swallowing thousands of words in his stomach. "Long live, those adults outside, look..."

"Send it away! I feel upset when I see them." Xianfeng frowned and waved his hand impatiently, "Kneel down too. I command you to return to Beijing tomorrow morning."

"Shu." Xiao Ran bowed and retreated, and gently closed the door.Zaiyuan and the others were waiting far away on the rockery, and hurriedly called him over: "What, what did the emperor say?"

"I didn't say anything. Thanks to all the adults, the third son is very slick today."

On the way back, I touched the few gadgets in my pocket and reckoned that each of them was worth a lot.Xiao Ran was a little excited, and suddenly remembered that E Longze had secretly entered the memorial that Xianfeng had said, and thought that this guy was really quick, and Xianfeng must have buried such a pawn because he was still worried about him.But the old man is really real...
