"Haha... Who do I think? So Mr. Cai is in the capital? I thought we would meet each other on the battlefield? How could we meet in such a scene?"
Zai Cheng looked at Cai Bixia with a greedy look in his eyes, urging his horse forward and mockingly said, "In the Battle of Zhuozhou, your Chinese railway soldiers opened fire on us brazenly. We haven't settled this battle yet. We didn't expect to block the road today." Already?"
"A good dog doesn't block the road..."
There was a gunshot, and the bullet flew past Zai Cheng's hat. Zai Cheng was so frightened that he almost fell behind the horse. Cai Bixia saw the short gun in his hand still emitting green smoke, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Stop! Don't shoot..." Yixin's guards subconsciously wanted to fire back, but Guiziliu stopped them at the critical moment.
Yi Xin looked at Cai Bixia with a dark face, "You are a woman and I will give you three points, but this is not an excuse for you to act recklessly...Does this shot of yours represent a war against me on behalf of the Chinese people?"
Cai Bixia put the pistol back into the holster and said nonchalantly, "There's no need to argue, I don't have time, and you don't have time either... There is a reason to fire in the Battle of Zhuozhou, and there is a reason why I fired today!"
"Qianmen Street... we Chinese have been requisitioned and evacuated! There are so many Chinese businesses and enterprises, and thousands of Chinese people live here, I must ensure their safety!"
"I don't care how you fight the civil war. You can't walk through Qianmen Street anyway... I've blocked this place!"
"Fuck! Who do you think you are... Damn, this is the land of the Qing Dynasty..." Zai Cheng suppressed his rapidly beating heart and his mouth was still hard, but Cai Bixia's eyes glared at Cheng Beile's arrogance and immediately suppressed it. Three points.
"Prince Gong... this is not a place for negotiation, and we have no time to waste! We will meet again in the future. At that time, I will personally ask you about all the agreements signed by Emperor Tongzhi on behalf of the Qing Dynasty and our Chinese people. Is it still effective in your hand?"
"I think Your Majesty has thought about this issue many times... The attitude of our Chinese family towards you still depends on your performance!"
"Now you have only two choices, one is to take a detour, and the other is to rush through the corpses of our Chinese soldiers!"
Yi Xin snorted coldly, "Huh... I'm too lazy to leave from here! The British have already captured Chongwen Gate for me. Even if you block here, you won't be able to delay much!"
"Mr. Cai... let's see you later! But I have to remind you that Xiao Letian doesn't know whether he is alive or dead now. Let's see if your arrogance can continue!"
After saying these cruel words, Emperor Guangxu Yi Xin rode his horse and continued to run eastward!
Cai Bixia's face was as white as paper. He watched Guiziliu's army marching majestically through the long street. Countless people from the capital around him knelt down and worshiped, shouting "Long Live the Mountain!"
"Zaichun! I can't help you much, so hurry up and leave... I can only delay you for such a small amount of time!"
A little time is enough. At this moment, the Forbidden City has become a sea of chaos, and everything is in chaos from top to bottom.
That night, except for Emperor Tongzhi who was unconscious, no one could fall asleep. Everyone was struggling with the news, but the news coming from the outside was getting worse and worse, and it became more and more difficult.
At this time, Cixi no longer had any arrogance. This kind of person is dumbfounded when death is about to happen, and becomes arrogant before the knife is in front of her eyes.
Last night, he was still scolding this and that. This was to negate others to promote himself, and it was still a small calculation of fighting for power and gain.
But when the situation becomes more and more serious and the danger of destroying the city is imminent, the true character of the old country lady is exposed, and the situation cannot be sustained.
"How could this happen...how could this happen...what can we do...what can we do!"
He no longer curses, and doesn't know how to shirk the blame. Of course, he doesn't know how to deal with it. It's just like in his previous life, after he declared war on all nations, he didn't know how to wipe his butt and end it!
Ci'an looked at her with disgust and whispered a few words to his men. Zhou Daoying and other eunuchs hurried out to do their work!
"Change your Majesty... I have to prepare for the worst..." Before I could finish my words, I heard Xiao Sixi stumbling in like a crazy person from outside.
"It's not good...it's not good...Prince Gong has broken through You'anmen...the rebels have entered the city!"
"Damn it... take your majesty to Jingshan. The Forbidden City cannot be defended. Go to Jingshan just in case!" Ci'an ordered immediately as he held back.
"No... we can't go to Jingshan!" Ermao and Fu Qing rushed in from outside. "The British, French, and Russians have entered the city to interfere and are attacking Chongwenmen. These damn foreign devils have betrayed His Majesty!"
"It's okay to defend the place in Jingshan and have a small fight. This is a national war and we can't rely on Jingshan! Let's go...to Chengde, this is the only way!"
"Take His Majesty northward to Shenwu Gate...exit Desheng Gate and move toward Chengde..."
Boom... This time it was a big bang. There were explosions at the Donghua Gate. Fu Qing's direct descendants came to support, but it was only a stalemate. It looked like the foreign devils were about to lead their troops and roll over.
"Let's go... take His Majesty away... let Donghuamen hold on for one more stick of incense, and then start to retreat northward..."
The Forbidden City was in chaos now, with eunuchs and maids crying and making noises everywhere. There were no rules at all at this time, and many eunuchs were grabbing the precious ornaments in the verandah without anyone stopping them.
The Forbidden City is full of human figures running back and forth!
Emperor Tongzhi was rolled up in a big quilt and carried away. There was a rickshaw hidden on it, and the strong eunuch pulled him and fled north.
The wives of Cixi, Ci'an, and Emperor Tongzhi cried loudly, and one by one they got on the rickshaws prepared in advance and were pulled away to the north.
The Forbidden City that I was familiar with before is so unfamiliar now. The solemnity is no longer replaced by the decadence of doomsday collapse!
The guards and eunuchs were robbing things, and the palace maids were stealing. Some guards even snatched away things when they saw the beautiful palace maids carrying them, and they didn't even let anyone go.
Those locked warehouses were smashed open, and many precious gold, silver and jade items inside were robbed!
Fu Qing and others had no time to care about these people. When they saw those who were too close, they opened fire and dispersed them. A group of five or six hundred people rushed towards the Shenwu Gate.
"Hurry...go to the Jiaotai Palace...take me to the Jiaotai Palace..." As soon as the group of people ran to the Qianqing Gate, Emperor Tongzhi's daughter-in-law, Arute, shouted.
Cixi was so angry that she had no place to vent her anger. Now she had to take it out on her daughter-in-law, "What's your name...are you still thinking about your body and money now?"
"The Queen Mother... There is a jade seal in Jiaotai Hall... The jade seal of the Qing Dynasty is in Jiaotai Hall, and His Majesty's jade seal is also there..."
He was so dizzy that Fu Qing even slapped his forehead, "Oh... Queen, take twenty soldiers and go to the Jiaotai Palace to take away all the jade seals!"
"Let's gather at Shenwumen...the rest of us will go to the inner right door..."
