Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 1034 Evil tricks

(Written in a hurry, please point out the typos)

On the streets of the capital city, AT was galloping on horseback, escorted by a group of capable Gesheha.

After the horseshoes hit the ancient stone slab, the loud sound of the horseshoes spread far away.

Suddenly, a crowd of vendors and pedestrians were busy making a way out of the way to avoid being hit by these men from the Beijing Management Team.

Because based on other people’s experiences in the past, this was a hit and miss, and there was not even a place for reasoning.

Therefore, during such a process, countless people could only greet these Daqing Eight Banners gentlemen in their hearts and words.

Of course, there were countless Eight Banners boys and young men who kept looking at AT and the others with fiery eyes.

Those who were more arrogant thought that Tang Sifang's ability to sneak out was nothing more than training a new army for Lafayette. If they were replaced, they would definitely be able to replace him.

Those who are more modest hope that Tang Sifang and Mr. Tang will take a fancy to them and give them a chance to be a dog.

In short, the above scene can be regarded as a good explanation that AT and Xu Feng are now rising like comets in the capital city of Daqing by chance.

More or less, he is already a character.

Of course, AT, who had long been accustomed to such scenes, didn't even bat an eyelid.

Anyway, he is now wearing the vest of the Daqing Eight Banners. No matter how these people curse in private, it will not hurt him at all.

Of course, I can't say it. It's a lesson to those guys who want to replace it.

Or it could give those who want to join him a chance to express themselves.

Because he now needs to rush back to Nanyuan Military Camp, the soldiers he and Xu Feng brought out are now waiting for him to ring.

These warriors are the biggest source of confidence for them to be able to dominate the capital city.

Sure enough, when their war horses galloped into the military camp.

We can see the two thousand men under his command. To be more precise, after excluding all the officers of the Eight Banners, there are a total of 1821 soldiers of other ethnic groups.

Now, under the command of Xu Feng, a neat team has been formed on the school field.

If it were based on the past situation of the Second Association meeting on time every month at eight o'clock today, these people would have been standing there for almost a whole morning.

But now, when AT and Xu Feng looked over, they could see that the standing posture of each warrior was still not chaotic at all.

After flying off the horse, AT and Xu Feng looked at each other.

Without any nonsense, Xu Feng yelled:

"Brothers, you've been waiting for a long time. Now the door is ringing. After you receive your salary, don't eat, drink or gamble. My mother, wife and children at home are still waiting for your money to support the family~"

In the following time, the payment of wages will begin.

AT and Xu Feng each picked up the variegated silver that they had weighed together a long time ago. All the soldiers were uniformly in threes, twos and threes of variegated silver, and waved to the two soldiers at the front.

Say it! The first town and the second association of the new army under the leadership of the two men were paid every time.

He and Xu Feng must have personally distributed the full amount of pay to all the soldiers; this was an unbreakable rule after they became the chief and deputy commander of the Second Association.

In order to achieve this, they even did not hesitate to privately compensate a group of Eight Banners officers of the Second Association with different sums of money according to their different positions during the monthly pay period.

Just to stop them from thinking about free wages and just hang out in the army honestly.

And their purpose of doing this is of course to firmly control their army.

Otherwise, what else could it be? Could it be that they had nothing to do when they were full, so they went through all the trouble of bringing their own rations, so they wanted to selflessly help Daqing train a strong army?

So it was a matter of course when the two soldiers took over the salary from them.

Although the two adults AT and Xu Feng just nodded to them, Geshiha behind them yelled and asked: "Whose salary are you receiving?"

If you use too much force, the spittle can fly onto the heads of AT and the others.

Instinctively, the two soldiers who had just received their pay stood at attention and yelled:

"We are bringing with us Lafayette, His Majesty the Emperor, and Mr. Tang and Mr. Liu. The two of you are very loud."

When they shouted such a sentence, the voice shouting "Master Tang and Master Liu" was particularly loud; it could be regarded as representing the most true idea in their hearts.

And such a sound reached the ears of the Eight Banners officers who were playing money in a barracks on the side, and they didn't pay much attention at all.

It can only be said that the butt determines the head.

These original Eight Banners settlers, but after joining the Second Association of the New Army, they lived a life where they could eat, drink, and be looked down upon by others.

Don’t they still know where the money came from? Anyway, Lafayette refused to give money, and Emperor Guangxu had no money. It was not Master Tang and Master Liu who brought them here to scrape the land.

So after hearing these shouts, the first thought in their minds was:

What a big deal? Didn't they call out to Lafayette and the Emperor first? Even if the names of Tang Sifang and Liu Yishou were called out in a slightly louder voice, it wouldn't matter.

Besides, the two of them are the Eight Banners; isn't the Eight Banners Han Army the Eight Banners?

Could it be like those rebellious people in Xuange Camp, who will come to drive out the Tartars and resume planting flowers? '

joke! These two guys are also Tatars.

With this idea in mind, all the Eight Banners men did not slow down even a little bit when playing with money.

After hearing these answers, AT and Xu Feng couldn't help but look at each other, and couldn't help but recall in their minds a few years later, when Yuan Datou was training troops at the small station.

His new army is said to shout the same thing every time when pay is distributed.

And since Yuan Datou can overthrow Da Qing, they can definitely do it...

Four hours later, when a group of soldiers from the Second Association had received their military pay, they faced a large pot of stew in front of them, as well as half a catty of sweet potato soju per person except for the sentry.

One by one, they were sitting on the ground in the military camp, preparing to start moving and have a tooth ceremony.

When AT and Xu Feng's Geshiha once again shouted, "Whose meal are you eating?"

Immediately, all the soldiers, even the officers of the Eight Banners who were tired of playing around with money, shouted together in fun:

"Of course I will eat from Mr. Tang and Mr. Liu~"

Good guy! In the shouting this time, they didn't even mention the names of the old witch and Emperor Guangxu.

But while they were happily drinking and eating meat, what they didn't know was that Emperor Guangxu, who they had completely forgotten now, was walking out of the Summer Palace and Leshou Hall where the old witch lived.

Although in today's steep cold wind in the capital city, the thin and thin Emperor Guangxu seemed to be blown away by a strong wind as before.

However, all the guards, maids, and eunuchs on duty outside Leshou Hall could see that Emperor Guangxu was indescribably radiant today.

It was as if something great had just happened to him, which made him very happy.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

In the heart of Emperor Guangxu at this moment, there was an indescribable feeling of pleasure, which was probably even better than eating the legendary ginseng fruit.

The reason for this was that AT was sent to the Summer Palace by the old witch this morning. He, the imperial party, and even some big shots in the capital city all received the news immediately.

I know that during today's audience, I am afraid that Lafayette will completely win over the second association.

This group is the only force that can fight in the entire Daqing New Army.

After hearing the news, Emperor Guangxu and all the emperor's party members felt as if they were mourning for their heirs, because they still had some pressure, knowing that if it comes to giving benefits, Emperor Guangxu is not as good as the old witch.

Therefore, they thought that AT would never be able to withstand the old witch's solicitation.

And after they lost control of the New Army, their idea of ​​pro-government, taking back all their rights, and creating an industry was completely dead.

Unexpectedly, AT did not completely surrender to the old witch in the end.

What is this manifestation? This is a manifestation of his understanding of the general situation, his loyalty to Daqing, and his loyalty to the emperor.

In such a situation, Emperor Guangxu, who usually screamed loudly, but once he was in front of the old witch, he was submissive and cowardly like a dog.

Being beaten to death by Weng Tonghe and other imperialists, if Ichiban didn't save AT and Xu Feng right away, they would probably be played to death by the old witch. And if the two of them were killed, there would be no hope for him to take charge in the future. This was a rare act of courage.

First, they secretly summoned several military ministers and discussed how to reward AT and Xu Feng as a way to protect them.

Originally, Emperor Guangxu thought that it would take a lot of words to persuade these important ministers to agree.

But I don't know if it is because the only one in Daqing's new army who can fight is now leaning towards Guangxu's attitude, which has given these Daqing military ministers more ideas.

It didn't take long to agree to Emperor Guangxu's edict.

Then with such an edict stamped and signed by the Military Aircraft Department, Guangxu came to the Leshou Hall of the Summer Palace on the pretext of paying his respects to the old witch.

It was obvious that the old witch hated the contents of this edict to the extreme.

But in the end he remained silent, acquiescing to the content.

Say it! How could Emperor Guangxu ever have such a smooth life in front of the old witch? For a moment, I really felt like "all the heaven and earth are brought together by the same force", and I felt indescribably high-spirited.

However, this rare and proud eleventh generation of Daqing became His Majesty the ninth generation emperor after entering the customs.

What he didn't know was that the moment he just walked out of Leshou Hall, the old witch suddenly seemed to be crazy and smashed the tea cups, snuff bottles, vases and other items at her hand towards the ground crazily.

Although there were many people serving in the room, one of them counted. Even Eunuch Li, who was most trusted by the old witch, stood on the edge with his head bowed like a wooden stake, not even daring to make a sound.

Because they knew that if they didn't have eyes at this time, they would attract the attention of the old witch.

Then he must be dragged out and beaten to death.

In this situation, it was not until the room became a mess that the old witch's mood gradually calmed down. Upon seeing this, Eunuch Li, who was completely tied to her interests, stepped forward and spoke carefully:

"Lafayette, it seems that although these two minions, Tang Sifang and Liu Yishou, are not determined to follow the emperor, they will not completely fall over to us.

So I think it's better to take precautions in advance.

How about secretly writing a letter to Li Zhongtang? As long as he has the support of his troops from Beiyang, Tang Sifang will have nothing to fear. "

"Beiyang, Li Zhongtang?" After hearing this, the old witch's eyes lit up.

But then, he sighed again and said:

"Don't think about such good things. Since Daqing's battle with Fa Ren, I took the opportunity to suppress him for so many years. On the surface, he seems to be honest.

But this old fox is just hiding his capabilities and biding his time.

Maybe he is still waiting for the emperor to take full power, because this kid Guangxu cannot suppress him. By then, his Beiyang will continue to grow and extend his power beyond Zhili provinces. "

Seeing that the only way to do it was rejected by the old witch.

He thought that the prosperity and wealth of his life were all tied to the old witch. If the old witch lost her power, she would definitely not end well.

Immediately, Eunuch Li felt sad, and there was bitterness on his face.

It was also at this time that a woman who, although pretty, still looked very rustic in her jewelery attire, spoke.

This woman's name is Li Lianwu, and she is the sister of Eunuch Li.

After being brought into the palace by Eunuch Li, he was the first to call him "Lafayette" because he was sweet-tongued, knowledgeable, and considerate.

The old witch loved her very much and even called her "Miss Li".

After Miss Li thought of something, she said: "Lord Buddha, I recently heard that there are many people practicing boxing in the Zhili area.

There are many experts among them. It is said that as long as you drink the talisman water, you can't be shot by a gun or cut by a knife.

Why don't you make a decree and let these people serve as guards by your side? These country people have no knowledge. Lafayette, you value them with such great kindness, but they don't know how to fight to the death to protect your safety. "

After hearing such a statement, the old witch finally became moved.

With her knowledge, she would naturally not think of just calling a few masters into the palace to act as her bodyguards.

Instead, I want to contact and control such a private force. If the time comes, there will be a way to turn the tables.

After thinking of this, he immediately called Eunuch Li to his side and made detailed arrangements.

In this mission world, everything is due to the performance of a string of blind people since Hu Biao's battle in Yangcheng and later in the Old Summer Palace and other places.

It can be said that the people of this decadent empire have some different thoughts in their hearts after all kinds of humiliating wars with foreign countries.

In the eyes of some scholars, what they see is strong ships, powerful guns, advanced science and technology, and the necessity to carry out foreign military campaigns.

In the eyes of many ordinary people who are illiterate and have been ruled by Da Qing's ignorance for many years.

Especially under the propaganda and instigation of some caring people, all eyes turned to people like Xuan Geying, who had strong martial arts.

I believe that as long as everyone practices good kung fu, they don't have to worry about being bullied by those foreign devils.

Therefore, even if the Sino-Japanese War of 1898-1894 has not yet occurred, under the instigation of some caring people, various non-governmental groups such as the 'Golden Bell Jar', 'Shen Fist', and 'Plum Blossom Fist' have formed.

It has developed rapidly in the areas surrounding Zhili...

Time: Ten days later.

Location: Jinmen, the editorial office of "Northern Times".

After putting down the article in his hand, Huang Yizhi didn't understand the content.

Those who advocate that as long as Emperor Guangxu takes charge of the government, and the monarch and his ministers work together and work hard to govern, this young man can become rich and powerful again, they are quite dismissive.

But I still have to admit that Tan Fusheng's article is very well written and looks very exciting.

For this reason, he said to Tan Fusheng, who was standing straight in front of him: "Okay, this article will be used on the front page of the next issue of the newspaper~"

After hearing such a sentence, Tan Fusheng still did not leave. Instead, he asked: "Chief Editor, do what you said that day still count?"

"Don't worry, we at Xuange camp will always keep our word."

After hearing this, Huang Yizhi immediately replied in a state of laughter and tears.

After hearing such a statement, Tan Fusheng breathed a sigh of relief. After a slight salute, he left the editor-in-chief's office.

His expression was indescribably high-spirited.

The reason for this is that Huang Yizhi had made an agreement with Tan Fusheng when he joined the newspaper. If Da Qing could work hard in the future, Guo Jia would become powerful again.

Then Xuan Geying will stay in Nanyang forever and never enter Daqing.

In the past few days, Guangxu and the imperial party have become more powerful in the court, and they have become completely pro-government. Tan Fusheng, who still has illusions about Da Qing, is excited again.

In newspapers every day, he helped to promote the benefits of the emperor's personal rule.

He also brought up the old matter with Huang Yizhi again, so Xuan Geying must not forget the agreement.

Faced with Tan Fusheng's doubts, Huang Yizhi also gave him reassurance, because the damn fat man knew one thing very well: Guangxu, a silly boy, still wanted to take office?

Under the old witch's tricks, he couldn't even get enough of a hot mouthful of food.

But even Fatty Huang didn't expect that the methods used by the old witch were so evil...
