The Forbidden City was already in chaos. Baojun gained at least 20 or 30 minutes by entering the Yangxin Palace through the secret passage. It would be faster for the eunuchs and supervisors of the Yangxin Palace to go north to deliver the message and open the palace gate. A lot, at least much faster than sending a message through the inner right door.
Zai Chun and Bao Yun were discussing in secret, while Da Sixi and the others led a group of people and rushed to Chuxiu Palace and Beiyuan to deliver messages. The battle in the Imperial Hospital was almost over, and the Queen Mother of the two palaces had just learned the news at this moment.
Cixi had been sleeping very poorly recently and was very angry when she woke up, not to mention being woken up after just 20 minutes of squinting!
"Who is yelling outside? Beat the Aijia...hard!"
Li Lianying and Da Sixi knelt outside the Nuan Pavilion and slapped themselves, crying, "Old Buddha! Something bad has happened... Xiao Letian's soldiers have invaded Sijiu City!"
ah! There was a scream in the Nuan Pavilion, followed by Lan's frantic cry for help: "Someone is coming! Someone is coming quickly...Lafayette has passed out!"
As soon as Li Lianying heard this, she rushed in and saw that Cixi was limp in Lan Zheng's arms, her eyes closed and she was unconscious!
"It's too late to call the doctor. The hospital has already sent someone to take care of him... Just pinch him!" Da Sixi shouted.
Li Lianying bravely stretched out her hand and pinched Cixi's body hard. With a sound of "oh", the unconscious Cixi slowly woke up!
"Xiao...Xiao Demon King...where are the soldiers...killed?"
"Protect the Aijia to Chengde... no no no... go to Culun Mongolia... or go to Xi'an, go to Sichuan... Emperor Bodhisattva, why are you rebelling when you are doing well!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...Why are you calling in again!"
"Don't be anxious, Lafayette, don't be anxious...our city gate has not been breached!" Da Sixi said while kneeling.
"What did you say? The city gate was not breached? Then how did this soldier come?"
"Reporting to Lafayette...it's not a large Chinese army, but a small group of Chinese soldiers, disguised as ordinary people, sneaked into Sijiu City, and then attacked the Imperial Hospital tonight!"
"They have only one purpose, which is to rescue Evil Doctor Huang!"
"Yeah!" Cixi suddenly became energetic. As long as the army didn't come, as long as it wasn't against her, it would be fine. When she heard that she was here to save people, she became more confident!
"How many soldiers are there?" Cixi asked.
"The exact number is unclear, but it will definitely not be a lot, because the gunshots and footsteps are not dense... I heard from the Isiha guard at the Qingmen Gate that there will be no more than 300 people there!"
"Ah... just three hundred people dare to attack the place where the Six Ministries of the Qing Dynasty are located? How arrogant!"
"Go and fight! After annihilating these three hundred people, we can't get used to this problem! Is this enough to bully our Qing Dynasty?"
Fortunately, it was not mentioned that there were more than a hundred people. If Cixi knew that there were more than a hundred people and stirred up the capital like this, she would be so angry that she would vomit blood!
"Change clothes for the Ai family! Go to the emperor...and ask them to send troops immediately, and Yixin and Yixuan...let them send troops! What do they eat? Is raising so many soldiers a waste of money?"
"If I can't even capture these three hundred soldiers today, do I still need the face of the Qing Dynasty in the future? Do I still need the majesty of the empire?"
Cixi was busy changing her clothes and rushing to the Yangxin Hall, but Xiao Sixi now took the emperor's will and opened the Shenwu Gate and went straight to Beiyuan!
After all, Ci'an's Beiyuan is a new palace, and the rules are not as strict as those of the Forbidden City, so he actually knew the news one step ahead. Mr. Qing was on Jingshan tonight, and he actually discovered the strange light on Qipan Street with his telescope.
"Huh? Is there water leakage over the Daqing Gate? Why is it so bright..."
He didn't know that it was the light of hundreds of torches, but he must have known something was wrong!
"Go and deliver a message to the Queen Mother. Don't sleep. There seems to be something wrong tonight. Something big is going to happen!"
The inner city of the capital has gone crazy. Horses are running wildly on the streets. The sound of horse hooves wakes up countless sleeping people. Most of these cavalry have only one destination, which is the residence of the two princes on the Shicha Sea. Di.
Prince Gong's Mansion and Prince Chun's Mansion, brothers Yixin and Yixuan are separated by Shichahai to the east and west!
The two brothers got the news almost at the same time. When they heard this, they were so scared that they rolled off the bed!
"How could this happen? How did Xiao Letian's soldiers infiltrate? How many are there?" Prince Chun Yixuan is responsible for the safety of the Nine Gates. He knows that he has too much responsibility for today's matter.
It was a huge sin to fail to protect the gates of the imperial capital and allow so many enemies to infiltrate!
But now I can no longer care about so much, the first priority is to reassure the people!
"Take my king's command arrows and send all the battalion leaders out of the camp. Since there are not many enemies, it is useless to have more people. Order 500 cavalry to support Qipan Street!"
"All the remaining people will go to the streets to calm the people! No people are allowed to leave their houses. Anyone who dares to come out and watch despite repeated orders will be immediately punished for collaborating with the enemy!"
"We need to protect Nancheng's official family, especially Marshal Zeng's residence...and send the news to Marshal as well!"
"Act now. Where are my soldiers? Protect me and go to Qipan Street!"
The Jiumen Admiral's Mansion has already started moving, and the Xishan Camp will not sit idly by. Guiziliu has been anxious these past few days, but he didn't expect that this troublesome matter would never end!
His first reaction was a bit like that of Cixi: "Xiao Letian's men are coming to kill? How many people, tell me how many people..."
"Prince Qi, the strength of the troops is unknown, because it is all poisonous fog. It is a poisonous fog area created by the Chinese... But our veterans judged from the density of gunshots and the sparse footsteps that it cannot exceed three hundred!"
"Ah? Three hundred? It's really too much! Order troops...a battalion from the royal palace and a company from the Prime Minister's Yamen, all are withdrawn!"
"With four hundred foreign guns and nine admiral's cavalry, I don't believe I can't eat this bit of offal!"
"There are three companies scattered and stationed in Nancheng... they have also been mobilized. I will add three hundred more. The seven hundred new troops are all fast guns. I don't believe it. Can't you bear to accept this?"
"Prepare your horses! Protect this king and go to Daqingmen to command the battle... Order troops! Order troops from the palace!"
This time it’s time to blow up the pot! Today's Manchu Qing Dynasty has also learned a lot of Chinese communication methods. Telegraph lines are connected between major camps. Even the garrison outside the city has received news through telegraphs.
The Xishan Camp immediately took action after receiving the telegram. The two regiments near Kunming Lake immediately gathered together and lit countless torches in the dark night!
The people around were dumbfounded. Through the windows, they looked at the torches all over the mountains and plains, the chaotic footsteps of the army, the neighing of war horses, and their faces turned ashen!
"Namo Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva! Save the suffering, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva... bless me, keep my family safe!"
How many ordinary people were so frightened that they got up in the middle of the night to burn incense!
