Chapter 217 Sweeping Out (Part 1)

When Zhao Guanhou knelt out, Cixi said to Han Rong: "Let him go and do a negotiation. No matter whether it is completed or not, he will leave Beijing and return to Shandong within three days. I don't care what method you use. If you submit a memorial, I will be sure."

Han Rong was stunned. He thought that he would recruit Zhao Guanhou to do the Westernization Affairs Office and then use the Fourth Battalion Right Army to suppress the ground and wipe out the people of the regiment. The overall situation would be determined. However, the former had just finished the reward and turned around and kicked the people away. This was a bit contradictory, and doubts suddenly arose.

"Laofu, I don't understand..."

"Because he is not safe to stay in Beijing. You know Chengyi's holiday with him. Nowadays, the situation in the capital is complicated. There are both people and rear troops. Even my Yuhe River dares to be arrogant. In the outer city, they dare to set fire and kill officials may not dare to do it. Three days is enough to negotiate with foreigners. In fact, in my opinion, no one can handle this negotiation. The reason why I let him enter Beijing was to ask him what the foreigners think, whether the people in the Flying Tiger Group are group training or bandits. Now, since you have made it clear, there is no need to let him be here. If the foreigners don't negotiate, it's not good to go and leave the pretext."

Cixi slowly breathed and continued:

"Since he can handle the Westernization business, he will leave this situation, there is nothing wrong with letting him leave. Anyway, the affairs office can't count on it now. I asked Chengyi to take charge of the affairs of various countries, but I knew that there was no hope there. If this mixed man was in charge, the foreigners would only blame him and not take off their anger in the future. On the surface, I was looking at King Duan, but in fact I was protecting Lao Qing. I always had to keep someone and be able to make a red face in the future, but Lao Qing could not play a one-man show, so I had to leave someone for him to take action. I think Zhao Guanhou was good. The more this happens, the more he had to protect him now, and not let him get too involved. But they might not understand my painstaking efforts."

Han Rong knelt down and kowtowed twice, "Laofu is wise, and the slaves all understand that Laofu is caring. This negotiation is indeed difficult, but as long as Laofu issues an order to wipe out the boxers and investigate the criminals, the slave is willing to go to Dongjiaomin Lane with Zhao Guanhou to discuss the pros and cons, and ensure that the negotiation can be handled well and will not cause a major disaster."

"Zhonghua, I know your hard work. Emperor, you should understand it, right?"

Tianyou hated Zhao Guanhou and Han Rong to the core, but at the moment, what could he say, so he had to say "Son understand."

"Zhonghua, you are relieved now. The emperor and I know your loyalty. You don't have to be afraid. Get up and talk. Lian Ying, bring three bowls of iced honeysuckle juice. The weather is too hot, and it will suppress the fire in my heart."

After drinking a bowl of honeysuckle juice, I felt irritable, and Cixi continued: "Your idea is to send troops to rush the ground, capture the people of the regiments, and treat them as bandits. I also know that their skills are fake. Even if Zhao Guanhou doesn't say it, I can see that those martial arts can still deceive me? But the skills are fake, but the heart is real. Although Gangziliang is confused, there is one thing that is right, that is, the people's hearts can be used. Have you ever thought about it? Since the foreigners arrived in our Dajin, there is no government in their eyes, and there will be no people. The people's vengeance will last for a day, and the people's hearts will be filled with breath. This tone is aimed at the court, and that is the second long hair!"

Han Rong thought about it and had to admit that Cixi was right. Even he had been called a traitor by the Flying Tiger Group, knowing that these people were lawless, and there were probably many people in it who were dissatisfied with the court, but they did not have an attack for the time being.

Cixi said: "Now the Flying Tiger Group has brought this to the foreigners and let the people sprinkle their lives to fight against the foreigners. If we just suppress and kill them like this, it is equivalent to taking down the fire for the foreigners. We always have to make a fuss and let them make a fuss, so that the world can be peaceful. When the foreigners are fussed by the Flying Tiger Group, we should know that our Jin Dynasty is not easy to bully. From now on, we dare not bully people too much, which is also beneficial to the court. To eradicate them, we have to wait until both the foreigners suffer and the vitality is lost. It is not too late to take action. Now, if they have too many people, the court will struggle, and the capital will be in danger."

Han Rong did not think of this. After hearing what the Empress Dowager said, he realized that Cixi had actually seen that the power of the boxers was insufficient to rely on. However, there were many people and great momentum, which made Empress Dowager Cixi also have the worries of being afraid of being attacked. Another thing was that she could see so many people who were brave and fearless of death, which was also an extremely powerful force. She thought of using this power for her own use, and was not willing to eradicate it now.

This confident empress dowager once used the Tianjin teaching plan to deal with Zeng Wenzheng, the first hero who destroyed Changmao, and relied on the case of Yang Juren to attack the entire Hunan Army system. Now, using the Flying Tiger Regiment to realize his ambitions can only be regarded as a re-use of the old trick.

In front of the emperor, there is another meaning that cannot be expressed in words, but both the monarch and ministers know that it is abolishing and establishment. Since the incident of killing the garden, Cixi has long abolished Emperor Tianyou, but it is precisely because of foreign intervention that it cannot be implemented.

Let the Flying Tigers make a fuss and teach foreigners to know that Dajin should not be insulted. If they deal with China, they have to rely on the government. Then, no matter whether they are abolished or established, the ministers of various countries dare not meddle in other people's business, and the power can still be in their own hands. As for the number of winners and losses, she also thought very clearly that there were only a few thousand foreign soldiers on their own. Could it be that they had more than hundreds of thousands of regiments and citizens?

In the future, as long as the bandits are suppressed as soon as possible, foreigners will not raise a lot of weapons. This is a trick of killing two birds with one stone. It is also a power-making method that she has used to playing for many years.

Han Rong said: "Lao Buddha is wise and wise, and it is absolutely impossible for slaves to reach. But since ancient times, the two countries have fought and did not kill pedestrians. This is a rule passed down during the Spring and Autumn Period. Dongjiaomin Lane is the residence of diplomats from various countries. If something happens, it will be lost on my face. Moreover, our diplomats are also in foreign countries. If all countries follow the example and take revenge, our ministers will not be able to save their lives."

Ci Xien said, "This is true. In the capital, you can't let those people make such a fuss. What does it look like if you kill and set fire in the capital? You have to clear them out of the capital. To deal with the people of the regiment, first pacify and then drive them out. The three are used to suppress and drive them out, but the premise is that there must be soldiers. No matter how powerful the Shandong soldiers of the fourth battalion are, they are still small. You can send a telegram to Yuan Weiting and ask him to prepare and lead troops to Beijing to suppress bandits at any time. Then send a message to Tang Qing outside the pass, asking him to transfer Ma Yulun to Tianjin to protect the railway, and use Cheng Gongting's troops to enter Beijing to protect the railway. When Cheng Gongting's men entered Beijing, they would drive Dong Wuxing's soldiers back to the northwest. If they dare to resist the order, they would immediately disarm. I have been tolerating this robber for a long time."

Han Rong was overjoyed. If the empress dowager made such a decisive decision, the major policy would not be cheap, and the court would be able to save it. But he didn't understand, "Old Buddha, if he handled this way, Zhao Guanhou would have more benefits than disadvantages. Even if he could not negotiate, he would have to lead the soldiers of the fourth battalion and press the ground first."

"No, this person is not safe to stay in Beijing nowadays. I can still protect him from peace within three days. When I lead a large group of troops to Beijing to suppress the bandits, I will have the opportunity to make contributions."

Cixi's words meant that she would admit it for a long time, and she was not sure of ensuring Zhao Guanhou's safety. Han Rong was frightened. Although the future prospects were good, the current situation was already critical. He had to kowtow and kneel down to make arrangements. Cixi glanced at Tianyou beside her.

"Silly Brother, what I told you back then is that there is no self today and no you tomorrow. Do you understand this? If I hadn't maintained the paper tiger in the palace, just one elder brother would have taken your life. After returning to Yingtai, think about it carefully."

When Zhao Guanhou waited until Han Rong came out, he was both happy and worried when he saw him. He didn't know what the situation was. However, he shouldn't ask too much about such a thing, so he had to keep silent. Han Rong said:

"Guanhou, although Qingdi is still in charge of the affairs of various countries, the person in charge of Duandi is also in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Rites Qixiu. Qixiu is a disciple of Xu Tong and is also an old party. You can't understand where you go to the rashly. Since Qingdi wants you to pay a visit, you should pay a visit. In the yamen, you have to listen to his arrangements. Also, the capital is not peaceful now, so if you go out, you will bring more people. I will give you fifty good guns to you, so that you can defend yourself."

Originally, there were hundreds of Minnie guns in the Tiger God Camp, but because of the maintenance and maintenance, a small part of them could not be used. Cixi was afraid that they would take them to fight foreigners, so she allocated them to Han Rong's military army. Han Rong issued a military order and sent fifty Minnie guns from the warehouse for Zhao Guanhou and replaced his men with equipment.

After hearing what Han Rong said, Zhao Guanhou knew that the situation in the capital is now chaotic. Although no one dared to commit crimes in the inner city, it is always a good thing to be prepared for. He did not refuse at the moment. He first transferred Yuan Baoshan, changed his troops to the equipment, and then guarded by his soldiers, headed straight to Dongjiaomin Lane to meet the Ten Princess.

At this time, Dongjiaomin Lane had already entered a state of combat readiness. The foreign soldiers were five steps and one staircase at 10 steps and one whistle, and were heavily guarded. Outside the door and wall of the embassy, ​​the foreign soldiers were on high alert, and even set up a two-pound cannon to face the lower part. Yuan Baoshan's guards were stopped by the patrol outside the concession and were not allowed to enter. Even Zhao Guanhou himself was ordered to take off his gun before he could enter. Fortunately, he was determined to pick up people and not fight, so he didn't care about this kind of alert.

When he arrived at the Six Kingdoms Hotel, Yu Qing had already changed his clothes. He obviously got news from the mansion and knew that Ama was summoned. She was a little nervous and pulled Zhao Guanhou and said, "Ama suddenly came to me. Do you think it would be possible? He found me a family?"

"If that happens, why did he ask me to do with you? This is illogical. When we go there, we will act. The ugly son-in-law has also met his father-in-law. At worst, he will lift the lid and everyone will make it clear, and there is nothing wrong with it."

"That's right, but now is it appropriate?"

"There is nothing wrong. If you want to reveal it, you should reveal it. You should always find a universal opportunity, but it is not suitable. What about Jason?"

"She met your second sister, and they went to see a few ministers together to help you find out and see if there is room for recovery. But by heart, this negotiation is very difficult. These people from the Flying Tiger Group are simply a group of madmen, and even my Hensmei was smashed by them."

"Ah? They dare to smash the car from Prince Qing's Mansion."

When the two of them were talking, they had already left the concession and got into a carriage prepared in advance. The Ten Princess snorted, "It can be said that they are not afraid of now. My Hensmei costs tens of thousands of taels of silver. Because it was a carriage, they smashed it and killed the horse. I was not in Beijing. If I were in Beijing, I would never end up with them!"

"Don't worry, when you look back, I'll buy you a new one. Anyway, we paid a large sum of money from Fenglu, and we can't afford it. It's just that this kind of trouble makes it difficult to negotiate. Those in charge of affairs are either a slut like Duan Wang or an old party member of Qi Xiu. I heard that his teacher is Xu Tong, who is also a stubborn old man."

Yu Qing said, "You said, "He lives in Dongjiaomin Lane. This man is simply stubborn. He hates foreigners the most. He lives next to the Belgian embassy. He posted a pair on the door, sighing at the ocean, and was neighboring with ghosts. He hides the word "foreign ghosts". When the disciples pay their respects, they will be driven out immediately. They are simply an old flying tiger group. His son is now an official in the Ministry of Justice and is a minister. The whole situation is in the hands of these people. With them, this negotiation cannot be done. Look, today, as long as there is a turbulent situation, he may be shot immediately. In this case, unless you start to suppress the bandits first, even if Zhang Shaoquan comes, he may not be done."

When the car arrived at Dingfu Street, it was already in the afternoon. The Tenth Princess took Zhao Guanhou into the mansion. Before he walked far, a manager in the mansion came out and first invited the Tenth Princess. Then he said, "Mrs. I'm here today and I'm sitting in Yozhai. I said that the Tenth Princess is coming, so I'll ask you to sit there. Also, this person is Lord Zhao. Please come with me and have something to say to you."

The wife he mentioned was Yu Qing's biological mother. In fact, she was the adopted daughter of King Qing, but in fact, she was a private favor. However, she was older this year and came less, not as frequently as she used to do. People in the mansion should be concerned about the influence. The name was originally called Princess, but later the ten Princess was born. In order to avoid chaos, she was changed to Madam.

When Yu Qing heard that his mother had actually come, she was a little nervous and subconsciously held Zhao Guanhou's hand. Zhao Guanhou felt a coldness in his palm, so he hurriedly held her hand hard, and comforted quietly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, nothing will happen."

Yozhai is the study of King Qing, and it is also the place where he meets foreign guests, or it can also be regarded as the signing room of the royal palace. The ten princess was originally a scattered person, but at this time, his step was like a thousand pounds falling, and his face became particularly serious. It seemed that he was a child who had done something wrong, and was caught by his family and was about to go to get the family law.

When I entered the room, I saw that the room was sitting empty. In the side seat, there was a melon-shaped face and fair skin. Although I was a milf, I still remained unabridged. My eyebrows were curved and my eyes were beauties, my nose and cherry mouth were also full of dignity and the grace of a lady from a wealthy family and the tenderness of a Jiangnan woman, like a beauty made of water.

But there were sorrows everywhere between her eyebrows, as if she was extremely depressed, and she was in fear and sadness. Even if she was so delicate like this woman, even if she was angry, it would be hard to make people feel scared. Most of the time, it would only make people feel cute. But even such a woman called Yuqing softly, the ten princess was so scared that she knelt on the ground, her voice trembling, "My mom...you...why are you here?"
