Jingshan, called Meishan in the Ming Dynasty, where Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself, is the commanding heights of Sijiu City. Standing at the top of Jingshan, you can see the prosperity of the capital at a glance.
Especially looking at the Forbidden City to the south, from this angle, you can see the palaces one after another in the Forbidden City, which are deep, tall, and full of imperial aura!
Since Ci'an had a fierce conflict with Cixi, he relied on Jingshan's condescending terrain to hold on until Xiao Letian's reinforcements arrived.
On this mountain, six to seven hundred and eighty-eight bannermen died in battle, all of them were innocent souls who died because of the civil war.
For this reason, Ci'an specially issued an order to Zuo Jigao, asking him to get a good piece of jade from Xinjiang no matter what. She wanted to carve a jade Buddha and enshrine it on Jingshan Mountain to save those Eight Banners disciples who died in vain.
After the civil war, the two queen mothers reached a reconciliation for the sake of the overall interests of the court, and Cixi's power was contained. However, Ci'an did not make things difficult for Cixi, his biological mother, for the sake of Emperor Tongzhi.
Ci'an directly moved the palace to Jingshan, surrounded Beihai and Jingshan, and carried out extensive construction work to build his own Beiyuan.
This Beiyuan is extraordinary. Due to the huge area of Beihai, plus Jingshan, Qionghua Island, Tuancheng and the surrounding buildings, the area of Beiyuan is close to the total area of the Forbidden City.
Ci'an placed here all the eunuchs, maids and guards who were loyal to him. Third Master Qing was the secret lover of the Eastern Queen Mother. It can be said that Third Master Qing went to great lengths for Ci'an's safety.
Qing Sanye once hired six military engineers from Prussia and Ryukyu with high salaries, with the purpose of turning Beiyuan into a fortress with strong protection.
The Prussian military expert came in to take a look and slapped his thigh excitedly, "This position is great. If you control Beiyuan, the defense pattern of the entire capital will be completely different..."
Jingshan is the commanding heights of the city. As long as a few large-caliber rifled cannons are set up on Jingshan, the entire North City can be controlled, and the shells can reach Prince Gong's Mansion.
Moreover, there is Qionghua Island in the North Sea. There is also a hill here, which echoes Jingshan and can support each other's artillery fire.
Moreover, Qionghua Island is surrounded by water. It only has two stone bridges to communicate with the outside world. A few heavy machine guns can defend it from the water!
Finally, the Prussian engineer said boldly, "As long as there are no problems with your supply of ammunition and supplies, according to the current military level of the Qing Dynasty, this place can basically be defended without restriction!"
Master Qing was extremely pleased when he heard this. He used the excuse of repairing the palace for the Empress Dowager Dong to secretly build military facilities in Beiyuan. Over the past few years, Beiyuan has gradually turned into an iron hedgehog with super strong defense.
Ci'an and Qing Sanye looked at the defense system that was gradually taking shape, the bunkers, hidden machine gun positions, reinforced and thickened palace walls, and even small iron-shelled steamships cruising back and forth on the North Sea.
Feeling at ease, it was only then that the two of them felt at ease. The entire Beiyuan had completely become their little home, and Mr. Qing's access here was already semi-public.
But Cian's peace of mind didn't last long before something went wrong again. This time, it wasn't something external but something wrong with herself. She found out she was pregnant!
This is a big deal. Ci'an is already in love with Mr. Aiqing to the core of his body at this moment. At the age of thirty-three, it is the time when fertility is strong. Ci'an is willing to gamble his life to give birth to a child for his beloved!
The child had to stay. In order to protect the child, she pretended to be ill and deliberately gave up her rights in the court and retreated to Beiyuan to recuperate.
When he couldn't hide his belly anymore, he went to Chengde in the name of summer vacation and secretly gave birth to a baby girl. This was Qing Sanye's first child.
After the child was born, he was named An'an. This name entrusted all the wishes of the parents, only for peace, only for peace, and for nothing else, just for peace!
But there is no real peace in the royal family. An An, who was raised in Beiyuan, was only one year old. Ci'an and Qing Sanye had to consider their options.
"Beiyuan is so big. Although we have carefully selected the people here, who can guarantee that there are no spies from others here?" Fu Qing urged Ci'an on the bed.
"What should we do? Although the capital is so big, where is there a safe place?" Ci'an was lying in the man's arms, but his eyes were looking at An'an sleeping on the small bed next to him.
Third Master Qing sighed, "Your Majesty will be back soon, with thirty thousand new imperial troops and the support of the British and Xiao Letian... With your Majesty's temperament, you definitely don't know how to give in!"
"Prince Gong will not allow his nephew to ride on his head... I'm just afraid that there will be a fight between them!"
"Isn't there Marshal Zeng? He can guarantee it..." Once a woman falls in love with a man, her IQ will immediately decrease in front of this man.
Especially women who were raised by the ethics of feudal society have a kind of admiration for men. If their hearts are given to Mr. Qing, then their lives must be given to him, and men must make decisions in life. !
As long as he is around Fu Qing, Ci'an's political analysis ability will collapse like an avalanche.
"Commander Zeng? You have to bet on an old man. How long can the Marshal's body be strong? Do you know that Marshal is now relying on opium for pain relief?"
"You can't escape what's coming. It's too dangerous to stay in the capital. Send him away... I've chosen a manor in Chengde. It's vast and sparsely populated, and it's closer to the Mongolian palace..."
"Only by avoiding the pool of water in the capital can An An truly be safe!"
When Ci'an heard this, she burst into tears, "I can't let it go... I can't let it go... I'm just a child, why can't I keep it by my side? Wuwuwu..."
Fu Qing hugged her tightly, "Me too, but the situation is so dangerous... To put it bluntly, if Chengde is dangerous, I will have to send An An to the Northern Special Zone! In fact, it is really safe there. …”
"No!" Ci'an screamed, "It's absolutely impossible to send it to Xiao Letian! You can't hide from him, and you want to take the initiative to send An An to your door? Just send it to Chengde, just send it to Chengde..."
After all, Ci'an had seen too many bloody events in the capital. He knew that Fu Qing was right, so he had no choice but to secretly send little An'an, who was over one year old, out of the capital.
Tonight, An'an is resting in the far north, Fuqing has boarded the ship heading south, and in the entire Beiyuan, only Ci'an stands sadly on the top of Jingshan Mountain, missing her relatives.
She looked to the north and to the west for a while, and tears fell down in a short while.
Zhou Daoying is Ci'an's personal eunuch. He knows his master's thoughts very well: "Queen Mother, it's late at night, don't get windy... Go back and rest early!"
"I don't know how An'an is doing now. Can she get used to the nanny's milk? Will she cry if she leaves her..." As she said this, Ci'an began to cry again.
To say that Ci'an liked his daughter to the heavens, since ancient times, the Manchu nobles did not breastfeed their children themselves, and had to leave the breastfeeding to the wet nurse after birth.
However, Ci'an actually changed the rules for the sake of her daughter and breastfed the child herself. The child was only one year old and had not yet been weaned, so An'an was sent away!
While Cian was crying, her breasts were engorged and she felt uncomfortable. After a while, her inner clothes were soaked through!
"Master, go back to the palace and change some clothes... It's already autumn, it's cold!"
