On the banks of the Salin River, Hunchun watched helplessly as the enemy's army rampaged across the hinterland of the Qing Dynasty, but he could only use empty and meaningless threats to protect the people under his rule.
What's even more ridiculous is that the means he can use to threaten his enemies are actually what he wants to protect.
We are afraid that the enemy will loot and kill the people, but if we want to confront the enemy, we still have to rely on the vast ocean of people's war to harass us. This cannot but be said to be a great irony.
"Are we considered soldiers? Are we considered to protect the country and the people? Court, what on earth are you doing..." Hunchun couldn't hold back the blood in the end, and spat out with a pop.
"General..." All the generals gathered around. "The responsibility for this matter does not lie with the General. General, please take care of yourself! If we say that the responsibility should be borne by those traitorous ministers in the court! How can we say that the Northern Gate of the Qing Dynasty should be opened?" Just open it!”
Hunchun leaned on Lieutenant General Lin's arms and smiled miserably, "Because in the eyes of those people, Your Majesty and Xiao Letian are more terrifying than these Rakshasa ghosts. The Rakshasa ghosts want the money and border land of the Qing Dynasty, while Your Majesty and Xiao Letian are more terrifying." What Lotte wants is their lives!”
"How could it be? How could your Majesty be so young, how could he kill them? And Xiao Letian is an overseas prime minister. The most he can do is make money in the Qing Dynasty. What else can he do?"
Hunchun shook his head, "The key is not whether His Majesty and Xiao Letian really want their lives, but that they themselves think that Your Majesty and Xiao Letian will kill them... If there is something wrong in their hearts, they will scare themselves!"
"By relying on killing people to reach the top of power, they naturally think that others will use the same method to deal with them... Forget it, don't talk about it. I can never be a spectator in this war!"
"Others can be indifferent and do nothing, but I, Hunchun, can't be a coward! Have you contacted General Xiang's intelligence officer? Now we have to borrow their Chinese intelligence. I don't believe that these beasts really have no flaws. !”
The generals looked south, looking in the direction of Beijing City. These honest and loyal men outside the Guan Dynasty all had tears in their eyes: "O imperial court! Just gain some energy! We are not afraid of risking our lives. We are afraid that selling our lives would be a sin!" Don’t let the world look down upon you!”
Perhaps it was because these men were filled with grief and anger that transcended time and space. At this moment, in the Forbidden City's Nourishing Heart Hall, the queen mothers of the two palaces and the two powerful princes were secretly meeting, and they all shuddered.
"Little Lizi...how did you serve me? Why did you open the window in this cold spring weather? How can you serve me with such an unkind thing..." Cixi was furious and yelled at Li Lianying.
Li Lianying's neck shrunk, and a cold air rushed up from her lower back. He knelt on the ground and opened his mouth to the left and right, and there were two big mouths. "Master said, this slave is going to lock you up..." After saying that, he used his knees as his feet and walked out of the door. He quickly took the little eunuch to close the window.
Li Lianying did not dare to feel any grievance at all. Even if Cixi gave the order to open the window ten minutes ago, the master said that the responsibility lies with you, so the slave must listen honestly.
"Hey...Grandpa Li! What's going on today? Why do I feel that something is not right with the Queen Mother and the Prince..." A little eunuch who was favored by Li Lianying subconsciously asked.
"You are going to die!" Li Lianying was squatting under the window outside the palace. When she saw that the little eunuch dared to talk about the Queen Mother and the Prince, she turned pale with fright. She rushed over with both hands like flashlights and squeezed the little eunuch tightly. His throat was so pinched that he rolled his eyes.
"If you want to die, don't bother Grandpa and me...carry him out, cat waist, cat waist, don't let the master see..."
Li Lianying just pinched the little eunuch's neck tightly, and the other big eunuchs lifted their arms, legs and feet, and then lifted their legs slightly and slowly settled down, for fear of disturbing the nobles in the palace.
After everyone carried the little eunuch outside the Yangxin Hall, they looked down and saw that the little eunuch had been strangled to death. Li Lianying sighed regretfully, "I actually like this grandson quite a lot. He's amazing when he pinches his feet. It's a pity. He can't use his tongue. He must have caused trouble for himself..."
"You all remember this, if you want to live longer in the palace, keep your mouth shut! If you get yourself into trouble... Come on, let's burn it in the Incarnation Field..."
The death of a little eunuch in the palace is like the death of an ant. Except for the few people involved, the other nobles will not even notice that there is one missing person in the palace. May you be reborn with a good life in your next life!
The four people in the Yangxin Hall felt like they were mourning. Today's secret meeting was entirely between the four most important figures at the core of Xinyou's coup. Although there were differences between them before and even a large-scale 'war' broke out, but when it came to On national issues, they are still allies.
After being silent for a long time, Prince Gong sighed and said, "Tepxin has sent a telegram... Twenty thousand Rakshasa Ghost cavalry have entered the country from the Songhua River Estuary. According to the speed, they should have reached Ninggu Pagoda by now. Unfortunately, Hunchun So far, I haven’t received a serious call back..."
"What? Hunchun didn't call back!" Cixi's eyes suddenly stood up. "He didn't receive the previous decree? He should have called back to confirm and send a message to An. How could it be that he still hasn't received any letter yet..."
Yi shook his head, "No, the telegraph room in the Prime Minister's Office is always on duty. Indeed, I haven't seen any telegrams from Hunchun..."
Ci'an had been closing his eyes to meditate and suddenly opened his eyes, "That's bad! Hunchun is famous for his bad temper outside the customs. Could it be that he has a bad temper and wants to have a fight with a Rakshasa ghost? Why doesn't this bastard know what it means?" The overall situation! Does he have to let Xiao Letian secede the Far East and establish an independent country to be satisfied? "
Prince Chun Yi Xuan widened his eyes and asked in disbelief, "A fight with a Rakshasa ghost? Are you kidding? The Russian minister said that there are 50,000 Cossack heavy cavalry! Just with Ningguta's few veterans?"
"It's not 50,000. Tepuxin said it's just the vanguard of 20,000... That's what I'm afraid of. If that stubborn donkey in Hunchun sees that there are only 20,000 and rushes forward when his head gets hot, it will really delay us. This is a big deal!" Yi slapped the table angrily.
Cixi's eyes were extremely cold. "It seems that we still haven't been able to control this court all these years! We should have replaced all the old guys outside the customs back then, and not kept any of them..."
"Wait? What did you just say? The Rakshasa ghosts have divided their forces. The vanguard force is 20,000. Isn't it possible that 50,000 people will cross the border together? What can these 20,000 people do? It seems that these Rakshasa ghosts are also a bunch of trash. It's impossible to deal with Xiao Letian without a few people..." Cixi looked horrified at this moment.
Seeing that the Queen Mother was angry, Yi Xuan quickly tried to persuade her, "Your Majesty, it's still cold in Beijing in April, let alone Mobei. The snow has not melted completely. Fifty thousand cavalrymen are not a small number to eat. They can It is quite difficult to ensure that the 20,000 vanguard troops are the first to resist..."
"I think the 30,000 cavalry behind must be on the grassland, collecting food and grass... Haha, I'm afraid the Mongolian tribes in Mobei are going to be unlucky..."
