Jingshan was called Meishan in the Ming Dynasty. The last emperor Chongzhen was hanged here. Later, after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, they did not think it was unlucky, and the surrounding wall became part of the royal palace.
Directly south of Jingshan Mountain is the Shenwu Gate, the North Palace Gate of the Forbidden City. The soldiers from the pro-military camp and the ancestors fought and retreated, and began to attack the Shenwu Gate.
"Quick, quick, quick... I have fed the officers and soldiers of the Shenji Battalion guarding the Shenwu Gate with enough money. What I want is for them to remain neutral. They will never attack us..." Er Mao hurried ahead, not wanting to At some point, a Colt revolver appeared in his hand.
"Er Mao, you are so bold, you actually dare to bribe the imperial city guards..." The ancestor was furious and started to curse, but at this time, the comatose Ci'an actually woke up.
"When urgent matters arise, we will discuss Ermao's matter later. What should we do now?" Ci'an said quietly.
Er Mao's true identity has long been disclosed in the Forbidden City. Everyone knows that he is Xiao Letian's spy, but no one dares to touch him. On the contrary, Ci'an still defends this little eunuch at every turn. In the final analysis, it is a matter of political balance.
Whether the Manchus like it or not, they have to hold their noses and admit that Xiao Letian is still a powerful political force in East Asia. The Ermao he sent in the Forbidden City are actually envoys from another perspective, just like the Europeans in Dongjiaominxiang. Like an ambassador.
Since Er Mao is Xiao Letian's soldier, he will get the support of Xiao Letian's forces. Xiao Letian and the others also have plans for the common palace changes in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the execution hall has really faked countless kinds of chaos in the capital. Possibly, and then wargame various contingency plans.
How could Xiao Letian not be prepared for Cixi's sneak attack on Ci'an? Ermao had actually been prepared for the chaos before him. The execution hall had paved many roads for him in advance and laid many secrets.
"Queen Mother, let's go out of Shenwu Sect and go to Jingshan..." Er Mao's words shocked everyone present. Even Mr. Qing was confused. "Are you looking for a dead end by going to Jingshan? There is a road across from the Imperial City." , the Shenji camp is here in an instant..."
"My dear Third Master, this is the best way. Just listen to me. This plan was approved by Prime Minister Xiao..."
"Wow, ah, ah, ah, ah..." The ancestor was furious, "How can you listen to the rebellious strategy? Xiao Letian is the enemy of the Qing Dynasty, you can't believe it..."
Strangely enough, when Ci'an heard that this was the filing that Xiao Letian had arranged a long time ago, she suddenly calmed down and said, "Well, Ermao, please make a long story short. You have to convince me before you leave the Shenwu Sect."
"Queen Mother, the situation seems to be extremely critical now, but there is a way to survive in danger... Cixi was able to buy through the Shenji Camp, but she was unable to buy through the pro-military camp. This shows that there are many people in the Forty-Nine City who support the Queen Mother, such as Prince Chun, the Admiral of the Nine Gates. Yixuan, his Dafujin is Cixi's sister, so he must be on Cixi's side..."
"But Queen Mother, have you ever thought about it. Jiumen Admiral Xiaxia has more than 30,000 soldiers. Do these people all listen to him? Well, even if Cixi is the most powerful in the capital, but outside the Sijiu City, Tianjin Green Camp, Langfang The Green Camp, the banner army directly under Baoding, and the cavalry left by the Mongolian prince in Rehe to the north, don't have any of them who are loyal to the Queen Mother."
Er Mao finally lowered his voice and said fiercely, "Even if the Queen Mother is near the capital, she has no direct descendants. So what about the Hunan Army in the south of the Yangtze River, the cavalry on the Mongolian grasslands, and Prime Minister Xiao's new army in Tanggu? Do they all have the same heart as Cixi?"
"Although Jingshan is small, being small has its advantages. It is easier to guard when it is small, and it does not leave the center of the capital. The Queen Mother's orders can be considered to be issued from the imperial city. Cixi cannot give you the dirty reputation of 'fleeing in fear of crime.'" …”
"Not only that, my slave has sunk a lot of treasures under the North Sea over the past year or so, enough for us to guard for a while..."
Hiss... everyone present took a breath of air-conditioning. From this moment on, people's perception of Ermao changed drastically. This little monkey has become a monkey spirit.
Ci'an smiled slightly, with a strange expression on his face, "Er Mao is really serious. I want to take a gamble today to see if the strategy formulated by the magical Prime Minister Xiao can save the Ai family..."
As soon as Er Mao heard this, he quickly led the way. Third Master Qing and his ancestors were behind, and the team quickly rushed to Shenwu Sect. By this time, Shenwu Sect had already been prepared. The soldiers guarding the gate were kneeling on the ground holding pens, ink, paper and inkstones in their hands.
"Happy Queen Mother, as long as the Queen Mother gives the slave a handwriting, the slave will open the door immediately..."
Without saying a word, Ci'an wrote a stern order to open the door with a few brushstrokes, then took out the famous 'Imperial Award' seal and placed it heavily on it.
The two seals that most represented power during the Tongzhi period were the Yushang in Ci'an's hands and the Tongdaotang in Cixi's hands. When Xianfeng was about to die, he rewarded Ci'an and Cixi with his two cherished seals. He also sent an order that before the young emperor took over the government personally, all government orders must be stamped with two seals at the same time, otherwise they would be invalid.
Among them, the status of Yushang is even higher than that of Tongdaotang. When the officers and soldiers of Shenwu Sect receive this handwriting, it will be their life-saving talisman in the future.
The thick Shenwu Gate was opened, and at the same time, there were strange noises coming from the Jingshan Mountain opposite.
At this time, the sky was already dark, and a group of people quickly rushed towards Jingshan and walked up the winding mountain path. There were actually blood stains on the stone pavement along the way. Some eunuchs with knives saluted when they saw Er Mao. People never expected that Er Mao would actually think of it. Buried nails here.
The tallest building at the top of Jingshan Mountain is the Wanchun Pavilion, and the one lower down is the Qiwang Tower. Once here, even if one man guards the gate and ten thousand people can't get in, hundreds of soldiers from the pro-military camp guarding a few small roads can protect the top of the mountain tightly. To be honest, apart from bombarding with artillery, Cixi would have to lose hundreds or even thousands of lives if she wanted to attack this place.
"Quick, quick, quick, Queen Mother, be careful where you step, it's too dark here..." Third Master Qing and the others were walking towards the top of the mountain, surrounded by the Queen Mother. At this time, Ci'an suddenly stepped on the air, "Ouch..." and shouted.
At the critical moment, martial arts practitioners are still quick with their hands and feet. Qing Sanye reached out his hand first to hold Ci'an without thinking. But something he never expected happened. Qing Sanye reached out and grasped a plump spot. High place.
"Hmm..." A low groan came from Ci'an's mouth, and the surroundings were dark, and no one knew what was going on.
Qing Sanye's big hand just grabbed the left side of the Queen Mother's chest. The softness, smoothness, and wonderful feeling made both Fu Qing and Ci'an dumbfounded.
Ci'an hasn't touched a man for more than ten years. Let alone a man touching her, she can't stand even if the man's aura is stronger, let alone Mr. Qing. Men are inherently cheap and believe in their wives. It's better to be a concubine, it's better to steal than to be a concubine, and it's better to steal than to be unable to steal. The Queen Mother in front of me is the aloof Queen Mother of the East Palace.
This is what the most powerful people in the Qing Dynasty can't steal. Just because of this huge difference in status, it is no less than a strong aphrodisiac for Mr. Qing.
Well, there is no place to research whether there were bras in 1866, but they definitely didn't exist in the Qing Dynasty. What was the pebble that Qing Sanye rubbed against his palm? Anyway, it was hard and had an indescribable feeling.
"Queen Mother, please be careful where you step..." Just as the two of them felt the feeling of time stagnating, several lanterns flashed over not far away. It was Er Mao's henchmen who were chasing them from the path with several Eagle Claw grandsons.
Third Master Qing hurriedly withdrew his hands as if nothing had happened. Ci'an's psychological quality was also very good. He turned around and calmed down on his face. Under the light of the lantern, a group of people quickly arrived at Qiwang Tower.
Ancestor and Ermao took a shortcut and rushed to Qiwang Tower in advance. They were now playing with several wooden boxes wrapped in oilcloth at the door. Ancestor stretched out his eagle claws and crushed the wooden boards like tofu, revealing the three layers of oilcloth inside. .
There was a squeaking sound, and the oilcloth was torn open. There were bullets inside, one after another, filled with Spencers and yellow bullets. They were heavy when I picked up a handful.
"Er Mao, you bold maniac, you are so courageous. You actually hid firearms under the North Sea. Are you going to rebel?" The ancestor opened his mouth and scolded.
Er Mao had no time to pay attention to him. He raised his hand and several young eunuchs took pickaxes and ran to the corner of Qiwang Tower. After a while, they knocked and knocked up several bluestone slabs. As a result, they found several boxes of munitions inside. , and even special operations grenades produced in Ryukyu.
This time, the ancestor shut up. Ermao gave him a white look and his meaning was very clear. I am not only hiding in the water, I am also hiding underground. Can you bite me?
At this moment, a torch suddenly lit up at the foot of Jingshan Mountain, facing the Shenwu Gate. Hundreds of soldiers, not daring to make a sound, pressed over like a silent tide.
Qing Sanye picked up a Spencer and two Colt revolvers, and began to press bullets into them. He stepped on a Taihu stone and said with a sneer.
"She didn't even dare to shout slogans when charging. This shows that Cixi was also afraid of leaking the news. Damn...she fell into the well, why are she still hanging two ears? What's the use of trying to be brave at this time."
"Brothers, be prepared. The sound of a gun is an order. As soon as our gun fires, the entire Sijiu City will know that there has been a change in the palace. If Cixi wants to make a big fuss, we will make it big for her..."
"I will obey the Third Master's order." There was a neat roar in the darkness.
No one noticed that Ci'an's face had become extremely strange now. She muttered in a low voice, "I have fallen into the well... I have fallen into the well... Why am I hanging out with my ears?" "
"My shoes are already wet, why should I care about my trousers?"
Ci'an unconsciously tightened her legs, and cast her eyes on Fu Qing by the light of the lantern and torch. For the first time, she discovered that this man from a branch of the Fucha family had such a tall figure.
With a broad chest, strong arms, and a face as handsome as a knife or an ax when viewed from the side, Mr. Qing is worthy of being a famous heroic young man among the Eight Banners. This masculine look is simply poison for women.
Fuhui, who served beside the Queen Mother, had been married to several men throughout her life, so it was impossible that she was not familiar with this ambiguous atmosphere. She was so frightened that her palms were all sweaty. The way the Queen Mother looked at her brother was so familiar to her.
At this moment, the group of torches that rushed out from the Shenwu Sect began to surround the foot of Jingshan Mountain and climbed up silently. Mr. Qing made a sound, spat down the mountain, and then raised the Spencer frame. On his shoulder, he pulled the trigger without even a moment's hesitation.
There was a crisp sound, the sound of gunfire spread far into the dark night, and a black figure rolled down the mountainside with a scream.
At that moment, everyone was stunned. A palace coup finally reached the point of using foreign guns. From this moment on, this palace revolution will no longer be a secret. Forty-nine cities and even the whole of China will hear this gunshot. ring.
In 1866, China's Bingyin Year, the Bingyin Palace Change, which shocked the world, officially kicked off.
