The Age of Awakening: From the Young Runtu

Chapter 145 Rejection
Nowadays, it is definitely impossible to agree, the new army under him is only three thousand, how can it be accomplished.

Send people away.

Jiashan is developing rapidly.

It even looks similar to the present Shanghai Bund.

It's 99 now.

The conflict between foreigners and the Boxers is getting bigger and bigger.

There was a lot of support for the actions of the Boxers, but there was also a lot of opposition.

Many officials in the imperial court believed that the actions of the Boxers were avenging the foreigners, which made the Chinese feel proud.The second is to really believe that there may be magic invulnerability in the world, and openly support the Boxers.

Where is there such a magic power.

Even the current top masters in the arena, like Dao Wang Wu, can't stop a bullet.

In the eyes of those foreigners, the Boxers were heinous.Incidents of foreigners being killed continued to occur, and the great powers continued to put pressure on the court, asking Lafayette to suppress the Boxers.

Boxers developed rapidly.

Even hundreds of thousands, millions.

They are all fanatical people.

The starting point is very good, but I hate foreigners.

What happened was vigorous.

Lafayette also knows this magical skill of invulnerability.

In recent years, the imperial court has been miserably bullied by foreigners.

The emergence of the Boxers made Lafayette feel capable of defeating foreigners.

months later.

Lafayette directly declared war on the nations.

Great powers challenged.

In the past few decades, the imperial court has not won.

Compensation is quite a lot.

A boxer made Lafayette's confidence soar.

Soldiers and horses of foreigners began to gather.

Lafayette regretted a little after issuing the edict.

Another telegram was sent to the king to fight against the enemy.

Relying on the Boxers to fight against the Eight-Power Allied Forces, but it turns out that this naive idea is a complete joke.

The Boxers were good at wreaking havoc on a small scale, but in the face of the attack of the foreign army, their swords, wooden sticks and other weapons and invulnerability were of no use at all, and too many people died.

Long-distance combat, powerful guns.

Stand closer, the gun is more powerful.

Jiashan.

telegraph office.

"My lord, this is the telegram I received today. The imperial court ordered the governors of all provinces to send troops to serve the king. The foreigners have already entered Tianjin. They are about to attack the capital."

Runtu thought for a moment, the coalition forces tens of thousands.

We should bring some people to the capital to have a look, and we should not let the foreigners be too rampant.

It is more than 1000 kilometers from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to Beijing.

Cars don't work well, and there are no good roads.

"Old Qi, order fifty good players and one hundred fast horses, and follow me to the capital."

A total of [-] new troops.

Jiashan's current population is 30.

Can't bring too many people.

Jiashan needs someone to watch over it and make sure nothing goes wrong.

With the gear ready, head north.

More than 1000 kilometers.

Horses travel day and night, and can travel [-] kilometers a day.

That also takes five days.

Runtu brought people to the capital, and at this time the foreigners had already come to the capital.

Runtu first went to the big pharmacy.

In the end, I saw a foreigner.

Zhang Degui was pushing and shoving with foreigners.

Zhang Degui: "This is my place! Please go out."

Seven or eight foreigners occupied the big pharmacy.

The foreigners were chattering and chattering, but they couldn't understand the language.

"What the hell are you talking about? I don't understand what you're talking about."

Zhang Degui looked at the foreigners in the big pharmacy, but there were only seven or eight.

He opened a shop in Beijing.

He also recruited a lot of people, the key is that Runtu left guns for him.

It may not be impossible to solve them if they really fight.

Thinking that Runtu handed over the big pharmacy in the capital to him, and he did it just right, so foreigners can't ruin it.

Seeing these foreigners were very angry, and at the same time they were still cursing the court, how could foreigners come in.

"I can't enter my own place yet, I'll fuck you to death."

Ever since I followed Runtu, I have rarely been angered, and I don't want to be angered by these foreigners.

"Shopkeeper, don't do anything, there are more and more foreigners in the capital, we can't suffer."

The man stopped Zhang Degui and asked him to calm down.

Zhang Degui felt that he was sorry for Runtu and didn't like the big pharmacy.

"Boss, our big pharmacy is ruined. Let's go."

"Master."

Zhang Degui saw Runtu.

"Boss, the capital is very dangerous now, why are you here?"

Runtu walked into the big pharmacy.

Not to mention other places, but actually went to his own territory to make trouble.

After taking a closer look, there were eight foreign soldiers in total.

Go in directly, thinking about using the space ability to destroy them.

Just killed three.

Turns out it didn't work.

Spatial capabilities fail.Maybe it's not a failure, but a limitation.

Nowadays, Runtu's martial arts are very strong.

Even if they couldn't use the space ability, the rest of them were all killed by Runtu.

Runtu: "How is the situation in the capital now?"

Runtu asked Zhang Degui.

I know that foreigners have been in town for two days.

Foreigners came in one after another.

The capital fell, and Lafayette fled.

The city was full of flames, and the houses and buildings turned into billowing smoke in an instant, destroying many houses.

Lao Maozi took advantage of the time when the coalition forces occupied the capital and created friction in the northeast.

Well, the old Maozi has long taken a fancy to the two pieces of land in China, and wants to completely transfer the two pieces of land to his own name, how to deal with it.Just kill all the original owners one by one, and such unowned land will become your own.

Lafayette also realized at this time: Not only could the Boxers fail to destroy the foreigners, but he was almost wiped out by the foreigners as well.

Before leaving, he pushed the emperor's favorite concubine Zhen into the well and drowned.

I ran away for a day.

Runtu thought about going to see Lafayette.

Or kill people directly.

That's not too good either.

It is estimated that China will fall apart.

Not yet.

The new army cavalry with 50 people left the capital and went west.

Lafayette was on his way to Xi'an at this time.

The mobility of this new army is still very fast.

It took half a day to catch up with the old lady's cavalry.

The 50-man cavalry made a lot of noise.

The Empress Dowager's people became nervous, "Escort."

"Jiashan county magistrate Zhang Ruosong, north to King Qin."

Only when he knew it was him did he relax his vigilance a little.

Into the team.

Runtu was still struggling.

Do you want to kill the Queen Mother?

What will happen to me after it is destroyed, and what will happen to China.

After thinking about it, it is still good to be immortal.

On the contrary, it left a good impression on Lafayette.

Along with the convoy to Chang'an.

The Empress Dowager met Runtu once.

I saw that although there were only a few dozen people in Runtu, they all looked very brave.Eat beef, eat ginseng, naturally strong body.

The key is that Runtu's sincerity made the Queen Mother very satisfied.

What she didn't know was that Runtu still wanted to kill her at first.

At this time, the queen mother was very miserable.

Along the way, not only could I not find a bowl of thick rice or a cup of mung bean soup, but I couldn’t even find a village where I could rest.

They live in private houses, and few people are seen.

Food is a big issue.

There are too many teams and they are consumed quickly.

The emperor and the queen mother live in private houses, although they are not as magnificent as the palace.

But it was much more comfortable than living in the wilderness, and Cixi was too old to care about picking and choosing.

The most important thing right now is to run as fast as possible, before the foreign soldiers chase after them, the farther the better.

Take some out.

He was praised by Lafayette as a loyal minister.

Slowly to some crowded places.

A stationed general came to pick him up.

Unexpectedly, the queen mother and the emperor came to this remote place. Fortunately, they did not forget to serve food when they were excited.
When the Queen Mother and others arrived at the post station, the chief soldier had already been waiting with his troops for a long time.

And protected Lafayette and Emperor Guangxu to the temporary palace.

Serve up the dumplings that have been prepared earlier.

This made the fugitive adults greedy. The food that they might not know how to eat on weekdays is now like a delicacy in their mouths, and they don't care about it. They scramble and gobble up.

However, the exhausted adults did not stay long, and continued to set off after a night's rest.

Arrived in Yanggao a few days later.

The road was very bumpy.

After eating the local specialty, mung bean noodles, I was just about to use my chopsticks when some common people came to beg for medical expenses.

It turned out that for the Queen Mother's noodle meal, they went to the mountains to pick wild vegetables such as wild mushrooms, fungus, herbs, and yellow flowers to make stew.
Unfortunately, someone broke his leg, so he came to claim compensation, who cares whether it belongs to the queen mother or the emperor?
Only then did the queen mother know that eunuch Zhang secretly forced the villagers to go up the mountain to collect them.

Cixi was so angry that she didn't bother to say anything, and ordered eunuch Zhang to be beheaded, and the troubled villagers retreated.

The Empress Dowager also said not to disturb the people. Now is the time when the army is in turmoil. If you can avoid causing trouble, don't provoke it, so as not to bring disaster to yourself.
After this incident, Cixi felt that it was not safe to live in the village, so she left immediately that day.

The road to escape is not easy.

There was nothing to eat and nothing to live along the way, so they had to squeeze into the dilapidated houses on the side of the road, and the team lit a fire to cook their own food.

I can't stop, I always feel that it is safe to go to Chang'an.

After arriving in Datong, the situation improved a lot.

Officials of all sizes, including the General Soldier of Datong, went out of the city to greet the holy driver fifty miles away, and prepared a rich supply of goods.

That's when I started to feel comfortable.

Rich supplies were sent one after another, and some even called the drum team.

After a month or so, I arrived in Chang'an.

After arriving in Chang'an, the queen mother finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the food and housing were much better.It was much better than the conditions on the way to escape.

When the Queen Mother and her party were still on the way, Chang'an had already received the news.

The governor is ready to drive.For Chang'an, a city that has never been the capital of a country since the Tang Dynasty, it has not experienced the taste of the boss for 1000 years.Now that the emperor, the empress dowager and others are coming over, it's like the joke in the play that my grandfather has seen the emperor's face, and my mother-in-law has eaten with the empress, all of which are smoke from the ancestral grave.

There is still a famine in Chang'an now, but the local officials still put up lanterns and festoons everywhere, pave the road with yellow sand, and make the people kneel on both sides of the imperial road to welcome them.

Fleeing to Xi'an, although it was very embarrassing along the way, as soon as he settled down, he immediately exposed the true colors of the feudal rulers.She thought that the palace rebuilt by the Governor's Office was not tall enough to reflect the majesty of the royal family, so she recruited craftsmen, demolished residential buildings, and built large-scale construction projects.

The kitchen is subdivided into meat bureau, vegetarian bureau, vegetable bureau, meal bureau, tea bureau, cheese bureau, congee bureau, dim sum bureau and many other small departments according to the model of imperial dining room.

Although I came to Xi'an for the purpose of asylum, when I really entered the state, it was more like a vacation, living a life of extravagance.

Life is good, immediately pondering.

to think about something.

The first one is to formally issue an edict to ban the Boxers and suppress them.

The second is to decide to live in Chang'an for the time being, and move back to the capital when the foreigners don't pursue it.

It is very difficult for foreigners not to pursue it. Cixi is not a good person in the eyes of foreigners now, because she allowed the Boxers to kill foreigners.The result is this.

How to prevent foreigners from pursuing her, the first thought of compensation.

Feeling a little scared.

The order to discuss peace was issued in Chang'an, and the order was given to Mr. Li.Lafayette said that he ordered Mr. Li to be the governor of Zhili to give full powers, and he went north to be responsible for the peace talks.

Master Li didn't want to go, but he had to agree to Lafayette's request.He was notorious five years ago, and the naval battle of the [-]th Five-Year Plan.This time it has to be him.

The foreigners directly demanded to punish Lafayette.

Cease the land and pay one billion taels of silver in compensation.The manufacture of arms is not allowed.

This is a bit too much.

All are not accepted.

It is even more impossible to punish Lafayette.

Master Li is not easy to handle.

I thought of many ways.

Pointing at the noses of foreigners and cursing, you are a pack of tigers and wolves. If you demand too much, our [-] million people are not afraid of bloodshed.

Mr. Li had no real strength in his hands, so he could only pretend, pretending to be confident, calm, well-founded, and strict.

Bargaining and wrangling each other for a long time.

The foreigners also compromised, no longer cede land, no longer kill Lafayette, and pay compensation, Chinese 5000 million, one tael per person, 5000 million taels of silver.Insult means more.

In Chang'an, Runtu was still looking to see if there was any business.

Four hundred million silver.Too much.

He was in Jiashan, and it took him more than a year to get nearly 1000 million silver.

During the time when Mr. Li was negotiating with foreign representatives, Lafayette, who had fled to Chang'an, was looking forward to news from Mr. Li every day.After looking forward to it for several months, I finally got a telegram from Mr. Li.Lafayette showed joy after seeing the content, and called back: It should be done accordingly.

It's time to sign the contract again.

No one dared to sign.

In the end, it was Mr. Li, who signed it five years ago anyway.

I said a word, the most difficult thing to write in the world is my own name.

After signing, Mr. Li burst into tears, and once again vomited blood, purple and black, with large lumps. The doctor rushed to diagnose and treat him immediately. Mr. Li's gastric tube ruptured.

Many people see it differently.

Some directly called Mr. Li the current Qin Hui, a traitor.

I think Master Li is too weak.

More people like tough people.

The foreigners began to withdraw their troops one after another.

The queen mother is almost ready to return to Beijing.

I met Runtu again.

"Zhang Ruosong, Jiashan county magistrate. It's great that a small county magistrate has such courage. I'll promote you as the prefect of Jiaxing."

It's okay to be promoted to an official after staying with me for a few months.

Jiashan's territory does feel a little small, only [-] square kilometers in total.

Jiaxing is different. It is much bigger, reaching more than 3000 square kilometers, and it is even more exciting.
