The United Kingdom is the earliest constitutional monarchy in mankind. The Queen is the monarch of the country, but her rights are restricted. The specific implementation of policies is one cabinet after another.
The same goes for external diplomatic relations. All plots and conspiracies in East Asia are formulated by the Prime Minister!
But can you say that the Queen has no rights at all? Big mistake, the Queen's personal influence is still very powerful, because the people love the Queen, and the rotation of cabinets one after another has taken away the people's grievances against governance mistakes in different periods!
These prime ministers took the blame and took away the grievances, so naturally what was left to the royal family was a beautiful and glorious image!
In this way, the Queen's personal influence will become higher and higher. If the Queen does not speak, then she will overthrow a cabinet with just one word!
Today's rebellion in East Asia and the role that Britain plays in it are actually all planned by former Prime Minister Benjamin. Now Benjamin is attacking Gladstone with all his strength, and the change of leadership is about to succeed.
Therefore, Benjamin's strategic intentions are increasingly being implemented by the Empire on which the sun never sets. Everything the British Embassy in Dongjiaominxiang does is actually a manifestation of Benjamin's strategy!
Witoma thought that the Manchus and Qing Dynasties had nothing to do against Britain. To be honest, the British Empire was not afraid of any country in today's world. Needless to say, the Manchus and Qing Dynasties were as weak as China. Even the emerging Germans and Chinese would not let go. In the eyes.
But after all, they missed one thing. Emperor Tongzhi was very popular with the Queen in the UK. Queen Victoria treated Zai Chun as her nephew. After all, there was such an age difference!
If Emperor Tongzhi went to complain directly to the queen, this matter would be really difficult to handle. In order to save the queen's face, he would have to be lenient!
Don't look for scapegoats from above and use the knives on people below me!
While Wetoma was thinking wildly, suddenly there was a commotion outside the carriage, and many people suddenly ran out on the street, all of them in high spirits.
"It's parading! Everyone, go watch! The imperial convict is parading..."
"Don't block the road by parking the carriage on the roadside..." Witoma immediately ordered. The driver parked the carriage on the roadside. Then he saw a dark crowd on the opposite side, surrounded by wooden cages, all of which were tied up. of imperial convicts.
The sergeant and police officers from the Capital Police Headquarters worked hard to maintain order. Xiao Huang and his men worked hard to separate the crowd of people watching the excitement. He was also holding a gong in his hand, banging and shouting at the same time!
"People in the capital, listen up...this is the consequences of rebellion..."
"The first couple are Nastu's parents! Nastu is a traitor and led the Fifth Division of the Xishan Battalion to rebel..."
"Listen up, young and old men... Nastu is the rebellious illegitimate son of Guizi Liu... This Mongolian man raised a son for someone else in vain, and this woman was Guizi Liu's palace maid..."
Boom, boom, boom... Xiao Huang, the general manager, knocked the gong loudly. "Listen up... The Japanese are so shameless! When Lord Daoguang was seriously ill, he didn't go to serve the soup and medicine, and actually slept with women secretly..."
"I slept the maid in the palace until she became pregnant, and then sent her to a Mongolian home to raise her... How shameless! The remaining children were sent back to the capital to be trained as officers of the Xishan Battalion to be rebellious..."
"Unfaithful, unfilial, unkind... Master Daoguang didn't choose him back then because he was so discerning! Did all the young and old men in the capital hear this clearly?"
This is parading through the streets to completely discredit the image of the rebels and kill them!
Witoma looked at the criminal standing in the wooden cage. The dirty clothes were actually made of luxurious fabrics. It looked like he had just been arrested and was taken out for parade before he had time to change.
Although it is inhumane to use this method to demoralize the rebels, it is very effective. At least the people's eyes lit up after hearing such secret news!
Ordinary people like to hear the dirty stories of rich and powerful families, and it would be even worse if there is some relationship between men and women. They will be very excited if they miss a meal.
Witoma looked at the pale woman in front of him. She had her eyes closed and said nothing. Her neck was fixed by a wooden cage and her head was stuck outside the cage.
The originally delicately combed bun was messed up like a madman, and the woman's neck had been scratched by the wood, with bright red blood oozing out. You can imagine her pain.
But a woman's nature is soft and she is strong as a mother. At this moment, Witoma could not see a trace of regret or timidity on this woman's face.
On the contrary, this is a kind of calmness after accepting fate. Perhaps this woman has already prepared herself to die, but she knows very well that her death can exchange for her son's life!
He might even live a better life, he might even become a prince, he might even become the emperor of an empire!
If his son can have such a fate and future, what does it matter if he, the mother, dies?
Behind the woman was her husband, who was said to be a minor official from the Mongolian tribe, but Witoma could not see much of the Mongolian appearance on this man's face.
This man actually looks closer to Manchus and Hans. Perhaps his bloodline from his distant ancestors is no longer pure!
The man did not close his eyes, but looked lovingly at his wife in front of him, especially when he saw the blood stains on his wife's neck caused by the wooden cage. The love in his eyes was not fake at all.
Weitoma didn't know what the man who had raised a son for Guiziliu for half his life was thinking about or had any regrets, but he knew very well that this man loved his wife and had no regrets!
Two carriages pulled standing cages in front, but the people behind did not have this treatment. Instead, they were strung up into a long string with hemp ropes. They were all relatives and domestic slaves of Nastu's family.
They were howling and being pushed and struggled forward. It seemed that the police in the capital wanted to parade them through the streets continuously. This was the punishment for all rebellion. At this time, death was even a kind of relief!
The embassy officer beside the carriage whispered, "Rong Lu's family fled to the embassy last night and are now hiding in the warehouse, otherwise they would end up like this..."
After hearing this, Weitoma shook his head, "We must show goodwill to the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty... We can't let Prince Qing and Prince Chun go for the time being. They are big fish..."
"Rong Lu's family members are all small fish and shrimps. We don't need to protect them...throw them out to give the emperor some face. Let's do it right away!"
"Yes!" The officer immediately accepted the order, turned around and rode towards the embassy!
At this time, the parade happened to pass by the carriage of the British Embassy. Mr. Huang saw the British flag on the carriage and knew that it was the carriage of the embassy. He did not dare to collide with it but bowed respectfully.
When passing the embassy's carriage, there was no gong or shouting to express respect!
After waiting for the carriage, Mr. Huang started beating gongs and drums again, "Listen up, people in the capital... The imperial army clearly won a great victory in Zhuozhou! It was Nastu who rebelled and betrayed the strategy and retreated..."
"It's a tie... without the rebellious Fifth Division, we would have captured the Japanese Six alive!"
"The people of the capital are not allowed to believe the rumors. The imperial army will definitely win!"
