Cai Bixia of Sijiu City has reached the darkest moment of her life. The telegram from Naha penetrated her heart like two bullets, making her unable to breathe in pain.
Of course, the Chinese embassy is absolutely safe. The guards distribute live ammunition and have bayonets ready. The tall lookout tower in the courtyard is even higher than the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the situation in the entire capital can be seen at a glance.
And Cai Bixia was like a wounded little animal, huddled alone on the wooden tower, and all the guards were knocked down by her.
The night view of the entire capital is in her eyes. This world is so dreamy!
The capital city was not quiet until late at night. The newly-installed Emperor Guangxu was sending people all over the city to search for the remnants of Emperor Tongzhi. The family members of the new Yulin Army, the die-hard loyalists of the young emperor in the Xishan Camp, and the court ministers who refused to surrender to Guiziliu.
Everyone was searched, and all their property was confiscated. There were cries and the sound of galloping horses everywhere, and there were even gunshots from all directions.
The hidden piles left by Zai Chun were swept away and uprooted one by one. The power of Emperor Tongzhi suddenly suffered a devastating blow!
A few days ago, Cai Bixia used her influence to protect a group of officials and businessmen, but today she was no longer in the mood to care about others.
Even though the alleys in East City were nearby, flames were blazing into the sky, and the houses of several fourth-rank officials were on fire, she didn't even bother to take a look.
Cai Bixia's heart was torn into pieces by A Chou's several telegrams!
"Audrey...Audrey...hehe...Audrey..." Cai Bixia kept chanting this name, repeating it over and over again.
"Liars, they are all liars... You once promised me that you would never find another woman... You are all liars!"
The love process between Cai Bixia and Xiang Ying is quite legendary. When Xiao Letian did not settle in Ryukyu, Cai Bixia was just one of the second generation officials in the ancient Ryukyu Kingdom.
Of course, this second-generation official is in quotation marks. At that time, Ryukyu had been eroded by the power of the Shimadzu family. To say that it was a country was in name only!
These second-generation officials are actually just a little better off than ordinary people. They are very poor. The average wealthy businessman family in Jiangnan has better living conditions than them!
But she is just a second-generation official with a low status, so naturally she will not marry ordinary people! At that time, there were countless second-generation officials of the same age pursuing Cai Bixia!
Fatty Jin, Lin Zhen, and even families in Japan also proposed marriage!
If Xiao Letian had not been born, then Cai Bixia's fate had already been determined. Her parents ordered her to find a matchmaker to marry her, and then live her whole life quietly!
History will never record the life of such a woman. She doesn't even bother to remember her name, let alone give her a chance to study and engage in politics!
Fate played a joke on her. The head of state suddenly appeared and single-handedly reversed the fate of the ancient Naha country and created a new world for the Chinese people.
The fate of Cai Bixia, a group of second-generation official girls, has been greatly reversed. The head of state advocates equality of human rights, especially the promotion of women's rights. The abolition of bound feet is already a big deal in this era.
Open a girls' school and give girls the same right to education, and this right is protected with force!
It’s not easy to use legal protection these days, so you have to use force to protect!
Xiao Letian is very unreasonable. He only says one thing to the outside world: Those of you officials who have feet bound in your family should let me go. Those who have not had time to bind their feet will never be allowed in the future!
Naturally, the Chinese have a system of female officers who come to inspect homes. How dare you go against it? Okay, deprive you of your political rights, keep your official position to the end, and then attack your entire family with the law!
Your sons, nephews, and all the men within the fifth service have all lost the qualifications to be officials, and they are not even qualified to serve as soldiers.
It’s your choice! Should he be stubborn to the end or should he bow his head?
This is what it means to hit a snake seven inches away! Then a very mysterious haunting incident suddenly occurred within the Chinese people, that is, the foot-binding ghost was causing trouble.
Many die-hard officials disobeyed the orders of the head of state, and suddenly these men's feet were bound overnight! The bones are broken and broken, just like a woman's feet are bound.
The key is that these bad men can't recall what happened last night. It's like they were just after a big dream. They woke up in pain the next day and looked down to see that their feet were bound!
This incident was such a big deal that people said it was caused by the foot-binding ghost, but Cai Bixia knew that this incident was actually done by the Kirigakure kid with a group of kunoichi men under the secret order of the head of state!
It is precisely because of Xiao Letian's two methods, both overt and covert, that Chinese women's rights have been greatly improved, and Cai Bixia happened to follow this trend of studying abroad and becoming a soldier and a politician!
Today, Cai Bixia is already one of the leaders of the Chinese feminist movement and an example of the struggle of independent Chinese women!
She was able to create such a big career without relying on men. This was due to her own efforts, and of course it was also due to the head of state's attempt to set an example!
The thoughts in his mind changed, and Cai Bixia naturally looked down on the boys in the old system. Even if King Shangtai wanted to be a matchmaker for the Cai family, Cai Bixia refused!
She wants to choose her own man, her own lover! After much selection, Xiang Ying caught her eye!
The direct disciple of the head of state, the nephew of Master Long, the future head of the Xiang family, and a new-school official who studied Western learning!
He is both handsome and wealthy, a leader of the military and navy. Such a son-in-law is so good that even Fatty Jin and Lin Zhen cannot be jealous. The gap is too big!
Cai Bixia and Xiang Ying were originally a divine couple envied by people within the Chinese clan. Although there was no engagement party, both families verbally approved of it.
After the situation among the Chinese community stabilized, the two families quickly got things done!
But he never expected that Xiang Ying was on fire. Cai Bixia didn't believe A Chou's telegram at first.
But a woman's intuition is so sensitive. She had to investigate it secretly. She didn't dare to go to her own family. She was afraid that if the Cai family got involved, things would get into trouble.
As a last resort, he begged two people, one was Wang Junlan from the Secret File Team, and the other was the Kirigakure kid!
These two people have good personal relationships, and Cai Bixia knows that they are very strict with their mouths and will not go around spreading nonsense!
The result made Cai Bixia despair! The messages sent back from both sides were the same, "There really is a woman Audrey, and she really lives in Lin Zhen's villa... and Xiang Ying even met with her secretly in person!"
The sky fell for Cai Bixia. She didn't think about food or food, couldn't sleep at night, and sat in the watchtower night after night, wrapping her heart up.
She had no intention of taking care of all the affairs in the capital. She even didn't bother to read the information from the Eight Banners Political Conference held by the Sixth Japanese Institute. The entire Chinese embassy was in a panic.
Just when everyone was helpless, a group of fast horses ran over outside the embassy. The guards at the door saw that they were sturdy cavalry wearing Far Eastern military uniforms.
More than a dozen people rushed towards the embassy quickly, and the Qing cavalry did not stop them but also hung up behind them like hanged ghosts to monitor them. There were seventy or eighty people on sentinels and secret sentries!
The carriage stopped at the gate of the embassy, and a man in a cloak whose appearance was unclear walked into the embassy quickly, so that none of the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty could see their faces clearly!
"Who is he?"
"I don't know...it's the Far East Country's diplomatic defense, and we don't dare to stop it!"
"Didn't you report it to the etiquette department in advance?"
"Quickly pull it down. Where is the Ministry of Rites? The work of the six ministries has stopped, and everyone is studying the charter of the Eight Banners Noble Council. Who is still doing serious things!"
"Hey...how come the Qing Dynasty is leaking everywhere? Back then, they were just a bunch of bandits in the mountains west of Beijing, but now they have become the king of the Far East Kingdom!"
"Where do you think this can be explained?"
A few soldiers were still chewing their tongues here, when suddenly a black shadow flew over with a whooshing sound, and hit the bad-mouthed soldier in the face with a snap.
"Ouch..." A stone knocked out one of his front teeth!
Covering their bleeding mouths, several soldiers looked around in fear but could not see anyone. Knowing that they were facing a tough fight, they had no choice but to shut up and walk away quickly.
