Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Shi Duo's face sank like water: "Don't let them go out these days, I have already got the news, maybe they will do it in these few days."

Resolutely nodded.

……

In the northeast of the Qing Dynasty, between the Greater Khingan Mountains and the Changbai Mountains, there is a wide plain with an area of ​​35 square meters.It is alluvially formed by several large rivers such as Liaohe River, Songhua River, Nenjiang River, Heilongjiang River and Wusuli River. In addition to good irrigation conditions, it is also the most fertile black soil. germination".There are only three such black soils in the world, one in the Ukrainian province of Tsarist Russia, one in the Mississippi River Basin in the United States, and the other in the northeast of the Qing Dynasty.The black soil of the Qing Dynasty is the largest in the world.

But for a long time, such a fertile land has been left unused. If it is suitable for forest, then it will be forested, if it is suitable for grazing, then it will be grazing, and the fertile soil that can be planted with grain will yield a bumper harvest. There are only some low-utilization pastures in the fertile land, which is really reckless.

Regarding the land policy, what Guan Xuqing did was exactly the opposite of what the Chinese emperors had done in the past. Instead of suppressing mergers, he encouraged mergers. He even issued a decree that when a household owns a certain amount of land, it can reduce or exempt taxes.For this reason, the folks have almost set off a wave of mergers and acquisitions of land, and the price of land has also risen again and again.

This has the same effect as the "enclosure movement" in the United Kingdom back then, creating a large number of cheap labor who lost their land.Although it has experienced several years of war in a row.However, because the main battlefields were all abroad and did not affect the prosperous domestic areas, industry and commerce still developed rapidly.In the southeast coast where the basic conditions are better, signs of the industrial revolution have begun to appear.The influx of a large number of people into the city has injected impetus into the development of industry and commerce in a disguised form.

And those merged lands constitute large farms similar to the German Junker Manor.They no longer use the backward chartered farming system of the past, but employ free farmers.The farmer is no longer closely related to the land, but has become an employee of the farm.Due to the increasing demand for raw material land due to industrial development, these farms began to concentrate on large-scale planting of some cash crops, which also became the beginning of agricultural area planting in the Qing Dynasty.

But Tsarist Russia has been coveting this land for a long time, and Shiduo has his own plans for daring to kill the king at this time. First, he has already secretly contacted Tsarist Russia. As long as the emperor dies, he will kill the infant brother , Tsarist Russia will come forward to make Zai Lian ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.And the price is this 35 square kilometers of black soil! !

And at the very top of the Sanjiang Plain, at the junction of the Heilongjiang and the Ussuri Rivers, a place called Khabarovsk by the Qing Dynasty and Khabarovsk by Russia, a fleet of several gunboats and a dozen wooden boats sailed come over.

Several gunboats belonged to the Russian Heilongjiang Fleet. At this time, a Russian officer stepped down from the leading "Birobidzhan".He had already been waiting on the shore for a group of people to greet him quickly.

"General Enze, we meet again, are your people ready?" the Russian officer in long riding boots asked.

Opposite him, a fat and broad officer in the uniform of a major general of the Qing Army nodded and bowed his promise, and said flatteringly: "General Brosk, it is too small for you to come here from the other side for such a small matter." Please. My men are all ready and looking around."

Brosk nodded and said, "General, you must transport these munitions away as secretly as possible."

"Understood, understood..." Enze said with a smile all over his face, "Don't worry, this area has been designated as a forbidden area, and what we do will never be revealed."

"That's good, then let's start..." As he spoke, Brosk asked his soldiers to remove the boxes from several gunboats and a dozen wooden boats. These are three-year-style rifles made in Russia. And bullets, as for the artillery, even the Russian army is short of it, so of course it is impossible to give it.

To be honest, this Russian rifle is really not very good. It is not as good as the German Mauser, nor is it comparable to the rifles made by the Qing Dynasty's own Hanyang Arsenal. These Russian-made munitions are used to equip the local security forces.

But for Shiduo, it is very good to be able to obtain these arms at this time.

Tie Liang, head of the 17rd Regiment of the 51st Brigade of the 153th Division of the Northeast Army, was in charge of the security of the delivery.It is really an extraordinary honor to be the captain of the colonel.He also knew that this was the grace of Prince Li. Normally, he would be grateful to Dade, but now...

Although the above has not said it, but with the soldier's intuition, he can guess something.Now Daqing and Tsarist Russia are at war. Some time ago, the brigade commander just came back from a meeting at the division headquarters and said that he would keep an eye on Tsarist Russia.Now Prince Li has been ordered by the Ministry of War to start an arms deal with Tsarist Russia, and it was when the emperor announced that he would go on a southern tour.It seems that the rumors in the court that the princes and the emperor are at odds are not groundless.And it's almost time for the needle to point to the wheat.

But is the combined power of several princes as great as that of the emperor?Let’s just say that the soldier in this hand is the leader of the soldiers. This kind of thing is the clearest.The military power is firmly with the emperor, even if a few soldiers of the Eight Banners before the princes managed to scrape together 10,000+, they are not the opponents of the Qing army now!There are basically two grades, one is the fierce general who has survived a hundred battles, and the other is the prince soldier who smoked opium.How does this compare!

But Tie Liang is not stupid, he knows that there must be someone around him staring at him, at this time he can only take one step at a time, if the trouble really succeeds, he will definitely not be missing from the heroes.If it doesn't work, with the military power in his hands, he can also play by ear.

Just when the undercurrent in the capital was surging and the clouds outside the pass were mysterious, the various forces that might have noticed this abnormality were too busy at the same time.Everyone was busy with the emperor's southern tour, and Dong Liang also focused on the selection of escort troops for the emperor.

Guan Xuqing never imagined that the catastrophe of extinction was just around the corner...

Soaring Front: World War I Chapter 189 Kidnapping Big Brother

Forbidden City, Xihua Gate.

Yilin'a should be the birthplace of Nahele, the capital of the Zhengbai Banner in Manchuria, but since his great-grandfather's Xianfeng dynasty became prosperous, he has been estranged. In this generation, Yilin'a was also selected into the official school of Xianyang Palace, until he became the fourth official A guard with a knife.In the eyes of others, their family is really a smoke from their ancestors, and they have gone out of shit luck.

Only Yilin'a, the eldest son of the family, knew the reason for all this. It was because his great-grandfather married a woman from the Xianglan Banner, and this woman, Yilin'a's great-grandmother, was from the Yehenala family. .That's why in the past 50 years, their family has been able to skyrocket. From being a slave to others before and after, now most people have to call him "Master" when they go out.Thinking about my seniority, I could have released any town chief soldier long ago, but I stayed here as a gatekeeper at Xihua Gate, but it wasn't all because of that person's instruction.

In the sixth year of Guangxu, after Cixi was overthrown, Yilin'a has been loyal to Prince Li Shiduo. After Prince Li Shiduo was deprived of his real power, he did not think about changing his family, but soon a few people moved than himself. Even more quickly, they died suddenly one after another, and their deaths were unclear, but they were promoted to a level for no reason.Yilin Axin suddenly became cold. How can anyone who is in the officialdom have done a few bad things? Even if Prince Li Shiduo retreats behind the scenes, it is like crushing an ant to death if he is so disobedient. .So Yilin Abi restrained himself a lot in the past, he could be described as a man with his tail between his legs, and the past five years have indeed been peaceful. He thought he could spend the rest of his life in peace and stability, but he didn't want the cured pills that came with the meal the day before yesterday to still make him feel sick. Pushed to the cusp.

In the storm.A tightly covered carriage galloped forward.finally come!

Yilin'a came out of the city gate first, and stopped the carriage in the rain.Sitting on the throne of the carriage was an old eunuch who looked as old as dying, with no expression on his face.At this time, a corner of the curtain was lifted, revealing the people inside.

Coldness, heart palpitations, all kinds of feelings swept over, Yilin'a shivered slightly, quickly gave a salute, turned around and shouted at the other guards at the city gate: "Open the door, let's go."

The axle of the carriage made a "squeak" sound.The wheels turned again, and Yilin Ah also walked back into the city gate.After shaking the water on his body, a newly promoted guard leaned over: "Head, who is it? Such a big map!"

Yilin glanced at him, and said coldly: "Why do you ask so much, how deep is the water in this palace? The more you know, the faster your head will fall." The guard laughed dryly.Retired unhappily.

Seeing that the carriage was about to leave the Xihua Gate, suddenly a group of men rushed obliquely from the inner side of the palace wall. The costumes they said were quite different from those of the guards in the Forbidden Palace. They were all apricot yellow new military uniforms.The two leaders immediately shouted: "The emperor's oral order. No one is allowed to enter the palace gate tonight. The guards at the palace gate quickly stopped the carriage in front."

Yilin'a's expression paled immediately when he heard this, in the Forbidden City, he had the privilege to gallop on horses, except for the Emperor, only the Imperial Forest Army appointed by the Emperor himself.The two leaders are the two deputy commanders of the Yulin Army, Dong Enping and Zhang Zhankui.

Speaking of both of them are well-known among the people.Xun Enping's father is the adopted son of Dong Haichuan, the founder of Baguazhang.When Xun Haichuan was young, he liked to learn various boxing styles.And long-term visit to the south of the teacher, on the Peach Blossom Mountain, I saw a young monk constantly clapping hands to the tree.And winding around the tree, Dong Zi relied on his bravery to fight the young monk, but he was defeated.So he went to see the old monk, humbly asked for advice, and after several cold and hot days, he learned his skills to the best of his abilities. When he was leaving, his master told him: "The skills have been achieved, and we must not be young and angry to cause trouble, Dong Weiwei promised."However, after returning home, he occasionally quarreled with others and even wounded others. The authorities arrested him very closely.One day, Yang Luchan, a famous Taijiquan master, was called to compete with the boxers in Suwang's mansion. He won consecutive battles, and finally threw a boxer on the garden net.At that time, Xun Haichuan passed by with a dish in his hand, and immediately flew to the net to rescue the boxer.Xun Haichuan then fights with Yang Luchan, the two heroes confront each other, and the outcome is hard to tell.Since then, Taijiquan and Baguazhang have established their own sects, and they have been handed down to later generations.Although Guan Xuqing had never practiced martial arts in his previous life, he had heard of these two figures who were in the top ten of the martial arts rankings in the late Qing Dynasty.So he tried every means to get the two into the palace. One of his wishes when he returned to this era was to revive the martial arts heart of the Chinese nation and cultivate a strong physique for this nation.

Xun Enping is the most outstanding disciple of Dong Haichuan's sect. He is one of the top ten masters in the palace along with Dao Wangwu, Zhang Zhankui, Huo Yuanjia, Huang Feihong, Yanzi Li San, Du Xinwu and others.

As for Zhang Zhankui, few people may have heard of him, but in fact he is as famous as his fellow Huo Yuanjia in history.His disciple Han Muxia was the chief martial arts instructor of the Whampoa Military Academy before liberation. He defeated countless foreign masters and killed Russian Hercules in the Tianjin Ring Arena.Han Muxia was ranked seventh under Du Xinwu in the late Qing martial arts list, and even higher than Swallow Li San.

Since the battalions in Gyeonggi were organized into the imperial guards, the guards of the imperial city became a little weak, so there was this Imperial Forest Army.Although the imperial forest army only has more than two hundred people, it is Guan Xuqing's closest force and has been stationed in the Forbidden City for a long time.Seeing them, Yilin'a knew that tonight's incident had been exposed, and he only needed to do a little research to find out that he was in collusion with the "rebellious party", and he would inevitably be stabbed at the entrance of the vegetable market.

But it is said that people can do crazy things when they are in a desperate situation, but Yilin had an idea, and shouted at the guards in the Xihua Gate who were stunned: "Don't listen to them, the emperor sitting in the car, they are If you want to assassinate the emperor, everyone will escort you."

The guards guarding the gate of the palace are all the children of the Eight Banners of the former Gyeonggi battalions. Not to mention his martial arts skills, each of them has a high status, but he is overwhelmed by the imperial army everywhere on weekdays. Not only the salary is inferior, but also the equipment in his hand It is also far inferior, so there has been resentment in my heart for a long time.At this time, under unknown circumstances, I was encouraged by Yilin'a. As the saying goes, "there is no greater merit than saving the driver". Thinking of Yilin'a's mystery and respect for the people in the car just now, I couldn't help believing it, and even pointed the gun at him. up.

Seeing this situation, Yilin took up the Mauser pistol in his hand and aimed a shot at the cavalry. Immediately, gunshots rang out inside the Xihua Gate.The two riders rushing forward were short in stature.The knights in the back fought back immediately. (Originally, the Imperial Forest Army did not wear firearms, but after being assassinated by Japanese assassins, Guan Xuqing specially allowed the Imperial Forest Army to wear Mauser pistols.)

But at this time, the black carriage insisted on rushing towards the Xihua Gate regardless of the flying bullets.The carriage rushed out obliquely along the base of the wall, and it was about to disappear into the night outside the palace gate.

The two cavalry led by the cavalry suddenly accelerated their speed, broke away from the cavalry behind, and rushed straight to the city gate.In the heavy rain, two unowned war horses were seen galloping wildly, but the knights on them disappeared, which looked extremely strange.But Yilin'a didn't care about being afraid at this time, and shot wildly at the two horses with a group of guards, and finally the two horses wailed one after another.Kneeling not far from the palace gate.

At this moment, two figures suddenly sprang out of no one, and a kite turned over and landed inside the city gate. "Bang bang" a shot rang out, and the eight guards including Yilin A fell to the ground.It turns out that just now Xun Enping and Zhang Zhankui used the unique skill of "kicking inside and hiding".So meet people.

Looking at the carriage again, it was parked crookedly at the base of the wall.Dong Enping and Zhang Zhankui looked at each other, and leaned forward with short guns in their hands.

The old eunuch who was driving was shot several times and lay flat on the shaft of the car, already out of breath.And the car curtain was full of blood.Zhang Zhankui lifted the curtain of the car to look at it, lowered his hand, and shook his head slightly at Dong Enping.Xun Enping, who had a farmer's face, sighed, maybe because he felt sorry for the dead in the car.Still relieved.

After Yilin'a was shot dead and the carriage was intercepted, the gun battle at Xihuamen also came to an end.Because Qidong, the commander of the imperial guards, led a brigade of imperial guards to arrive after hearing the gunshots, he immediately stopped the shooting from both sides after he arrived at the scene.

Qidong is the son of Guan Xuqing's wet nurse Cuixi, because Guan Xuqing was loved by his wet nurse since he was a child, especially when he was assassinated and unconscious when he was a child, Cuixi was inseparable from him day and night, which caused Li Lianying and the others' assassination to fail completely.In order to be grateful, and because of Qidong's loyalty to himself, he handed over the Imperial Guard to him.

"Want to rebel? Dare to shoot at the emperor's feet? Could it be that the emperor gave you guns to shoot at his own people?" Qidong shouted at the Imperial Forest Army.

"Commander Qi, come and take a look!" Zhang Zhankui said behind him.

Qidong walked over suspiciously, came to the side of the carriage and took a look, was too scared to say anything, said trembling slightly: "This... this... is... is... big..."

"That's right, it's Big Brother!" Zhang Zhankui said affirmatively.

"What's going on here? Hongxing, where do you want to take Big Brother? You don't want to live anymore?" Qidong yelled at the woman in the carriage.

"I...I..." The woman named Hongxing was speechless for a long time.

"The emperor went to the queen's place today, but he didn't see the elder brother. Even the wet nurse and eunuch could not be found, so he didn't care at first. Then he found the body of the eunuch with the elder brother in the back garden. I will close the gate of the palace. However, your subordinates resisted the order and shot at us in an attempt to cover Hongxing and kidnap the elder brother to leave. Commander Qi, I think you must be involved in this matter." Zhang Zhankui said slowly. Said slowly.

"No, no, no, don't talk nonsense. I came here only when I heard gunshots, and I happened to be checking the guard at the Meridian Gate." Qidong hurriedly said.

"Hmph, go and explain to the emperor yourself. Someone, take this woman away and protect Elder Brother!" Zhang Zhankui ignored Qidong and said to the Imperial Forest Army behind him.
