"What are you panicking about? Tell Luo Ming to come over." Guan Xuqing didn't panic under the shock, he had to figure out what was going on outside.
"twitter."
Guan Xuqing came to the main hall surrounded by the crowd. There were 30 people guarding the front and rear gates, and five cannons and ten mortars were erected on the roof.It can be said that the main hall where Guan Xuqing was located was completely surrounded.
Not long after, Luo Ming ran in panting.
"My minister sees the emperor."
"What's going on outside? Why are there so many rushing noises?" Guan Xuqing asked straight to the point.
"Returning to the emperor, the reconnaissance squad of the guard regiment found a large number of armed men in the southwest of Hangzhou Mansion. Just as they were about to interrogate, the other party opened fire on us. Fortunately, the number of the other party is not large, and now the situation is under our control." Luo Ming Said slowly.
"Do you know who they are? Go and call Sun Shixiong. Why is there a large number of armed men in Hangzhou under his jurisdiction? Could it be that he distributes guns to the people?" Guan Xuqing cursed, he still didn't believe these reckless people It was the assassin sent by Wu Guang to assassinate him.
"I don't know, but the guards have already surrounded the rebellious party, and within half an hour the leader of the bandit will be captured alive. Then everything will be clear!" Luo Ming replied.
Guan Xuqing didn't answer, and simply closed his eyes, listening quietly to the clamor that resembled a Chinese New Year firecracker outside.When the buzzing sounded, such as when the new year was just after zero o'clock, the density could make people feel creepy indoors, for fear that any bullet without eyes would fly towards them.As time went on, the gunfire gradually became less intense.In the end, there were only a few sporadic shots, and there was not a single gunshot for about one stick of incense.
"Report to the emperor, all the rebels have been arrested. General Luo personally interrogated them. They are all the remnants of Prince Zheng Duanhua. According to the account, they are all servants and disciples of the former Prince Zheng's mansion." Huo Yuanjia, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, said.
"Oh, it turned out to be them. They are some loyal slaves! It's a pity that I can't spare them. The assassination in the downtown area has too bad influence. Let Luo Ming get the people to go to politics after the review is correct as soon as possible." Guan Xuqing said slowly.
"Cha." Huo Yuanjia hurriedly turned and left.
Sure enough, as Guan Xuqing expected, these people were not assassins sent by Wu Guang at all.But after today's trouble, those assassins will definitely be more careful.And Luo Ming will definitely strengthen his protection. If this is the case, it will not be easy to attract those assassins to show up.
Thousands of miles away, a team of 300 to [-] people went eastward along the Yangtze River, turned in Fuling, the hometown of pickled mustard, and then went south along the clear Wujiang River, until it stopped at a small pier called Baitao Town.
"Boss, I heard that there was an accident in Hangzhou. Guangxu took care of those stupid people fighting in their nests." said a big man with a beard.
"I heard, hey! There are two things to say about this matter. Using those Manchus as cannon fodder provided us with some help in the assassination, such as how many troops around Guangxu and how they were distributed. We do know a little bit. But they Nao, Guangxu's vigilance can be improved a lot. If we stay in the Hangzhou Mansion all day, we really can't do anything about him." A scholar who looked gentle said slowly.
"Hey, then shall we go? Or just wait here and strike when Guangxu returns to Beijing?" the bearded man asked again.
"Do you know where Guangxu returned to Beijing? If he continues to go south to Guangzhou and Vietnam, he will return to Tianjin by warship. What should we do?" the scholar said loudly.
"Eh...this..." The bearded man was at a loss for words for a moment, not knowing what to do.
"Now we only have to take one step at a time. Anyway, we will go to Hangzhou first, and we will play by ear."
"Yes."
Soaring Front: The First World War Chapter 2 Assassination ([-])
"Tick tock...tick tock" An exquisite pocket watch was fiddling in Guan Xuqing's hands. Of course, a person who traveled from later generations had seen many famous watches, but such an exquisite antique watch still made Guan Xuqing unable to put it down.
"Xianghua, the American industry is really well developed. This pocket watch is much more beautiful than the ones sent by the French a few years ago." Guan Xuqing said while fiddling with the pocket watch.
"Yes, under the wise leadership of the emperor, my Qing Dynasty has made great progress in its industrial level. For example, the Hanyang rifle made by my Qing Dynasty is no worse than the old German's Mauser rifle." Feng Xianghua said proudly.
Guan Xuqing shook his hands with a smile and said: "Hehe, generally speaking, Lao Maozi's weapons are much more powerful than those of our Qing Dynasty. We are not buying warships from the Germans. But you are right, there is still a way to go One step at a time. I firmly believe that the Qing Dynasty will be invincible and the world!"
"Your majesty is wise, long live my emperor, long live, long live." Feng Xianghua fell to his knees and shouted loudly.
"Get up quickly, don't just kneel down all the time. There are no outsiders here. I have a discussion with you. According to Zhao Bingjun's report, a few assassins were sent from the northwest to harm me. I should have arrived in Hangzhou, but a few days ago Duanhua's remaining party made such a fuss. They acted more cautiously and never showed up. Zhao Bingjun's spies have already lost them." Guan Xuqing said calmly.
"Ah? There is such a thing? The whole city is under martial law, and the house-to-house search is carried out. Even if the whole Hangzhou is turned over, these assassins must be caught." Feng Xianghua said nervously.
"Didn't you tell Wu Guangzhen that he already knew that he sent assassins?" Guan Xuqing interrupted him, and continued: "In this way, General Nie in the northwest is in a desperate situation? What's more, the bandits we sent The team is not in place yet, what should we do if something really happens?"
Feng Xianghua bowed his head in silence, his face extremely embarrassed.
Guan Xuqing patted him on the shoulder and continued: "The most important thing is, I still don't believe that a hot-tempered general can have such a scheming plan, that he can attract so many people to make trouble with him. You, the Minister of the Ministry of War, are in the valley. There must be someone behind him, let alone startle the snake at this time."
This retelling made Feng Xianghua's old face blush, he was ashamed, and wished he could find a hole to get in.After holding back for a long time, I squeezed out a few sentences: "The guilty minister has neglected his duties and is unable to share the emperor's worries. The minister... I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to be a high-ranking officer in the military department. Please also ask the emperor to ask someone else to be wise."
"Hey, I don't mean to blame you. Zhao Bingjun is in that line of work. If he didn't find out, I should have chopped off his head. You will be responsible for recruit training, military school inspections, selection of outstanding officers, arms import and export, etc. It is understandable that there will inevitably be some negligence in the transfer of local troops." Guan Xuqing comforted.
Feng Xianghua has been a strong person since he was a child, and he wants to be perfect in everything.But this time there was a serious conspiracy and rebellion in his hands, and he was still kept in the valley.How could he not be ashamed.
Guan Xuqing continued: "I want to go out and lure those assassins to show up and catch a few alive. I want to know more about the current situation in the Northwest."
"No, Your Majesty. Now it's different from the past. The snipers owned by the Northwest Group Army can easily kill people ten miles away. These assassins came from the Northwest. I don't know if they carry such weapons. Your Majesty is a body of gold and should not be taken lightly. If something goes wrong, how can I ask the minister to explain to the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty and the people of the world." Feng Xianghua said excitedly.
"It is so-called that you must first secure the inside if you fight against the outside world. If the person behind the scenes is not found out, even if all the rebels in the Northwest are wiped out today, tomorrow there may be chaos in the Northeast. I hope to uproot them, and I don't want to see similar What happened. If you are really worried about my safety, go and discuss with Luo Ming how to catch all the assassins after I lure them out." Guan Xuqing ignored Feng Xianghua's words at all.
"Your Majesty..." Feng Xianghua even cried out in a tearful tone.
"Stop talking, I've made up my mind. Hurry up and get ready. I'll go to Lingyin Jitian tomorrow." Guan Xuqing shouted loudly.
Feng Xianghua knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes, kowtowed his head to the ground, but really didn't say anything.
Guan Xuqing acted as if he didn't see it, and strode away with a flick of his hand.
Lingyin Temple is located at the foot of Lingyin Mountain between Feilai Peak and Beifeng Peak. The two peaks stand side by side, the trees are towering and beautiful, and the ancient temple in the deep mountain is full of clouds and smoke. It is really a scenic spot.According to legend, Indian monk Huili came to Hangzhou more than 1600 years ago. When he saw the beautiful mountains here, he thought it was "the hidden place of fairies", so he built a temple here and named it Lingyin.It is also said that Lingyin Temple was originally called "Lingying Temple".It was built in the early Tang Dynasty. More than 1400 years ago, in front of the gate of Qinling Bay today, there was a Bijia Mountain. The left side of Bijia Mountain is a place where the Phoenix faces the sun.It turned out that there were many thorns and thorns here, and it was deserted.Later, a monk surnamed Wu lived behind the mountain, collecting firewood and farming for a living.One day, a monk was collecting firewood in the Bijia Mountain jungle. Because of the hot weather, he took off his Taoist robe, hung it on a tree branch, and went to work again.Suddenly, a wild goose flew down from the sky, took the robe away, and flew south, where it landed at the present Lingyin Temple.Monk Wu chased after him all the way to the south, but he saw that there were dense green trees and green willows.Among the green shadows, there is a ridge of soil at the south end and the north end; the front drinks clear water and green lotus, and the back meets the floating Lingqing Lake; two wing-shaped mounds rise on the left and right sides; the whole landform looks like a giant eagle lying on the ground.Monk Wu felt that he was guided by the gods, so he burned incense and prayed here, and built a temple, hence the name "Lingying Temple".
Such places of interest and historical sites are now a real problem in the eyes of Feng Xianghua and Luo Ming. Looking far away from those looming mountain peaks and those dense forests, it is simply a natural ambush.
Luo Ming frowned and said, "General Feng, let's stop trying to persuade the emperor. How can this be foolproof?" Luo Ming pointed to the valley in the distance and continued: "General, please look, Feilai Peak and the The northern peaks are much higher than Lingyin, and the forests are towering and stretching for tens of miles. Assassins can set up an ambush at any point here. If they put down ten mortars, they can make everyone in the temple boil a pot of steel broth ah!"
"Hey, even if we send all the troops in Hangzhou to search in the mountains, as long as one assassin slips through the net, that bullet will be fatal!" Feng Xianghua sighed.
"Then hurry up and persuade the emperor, if the emperor makes a mistake, we can't afford it!" Luo Ming stamped his feet impatiently.
"It's not that you don't know the emperor's temper. Back then, he was able to fight against the will of the crowd to fight against France, Britain, and Russia to declare war on Japan. How can you listen to my words now." Feng Xianghua shook his head, said with both worry and admiration: "You and I should do our best to protect the work, and if necessary, set fire to the forest, so that the assassin has nowhere to hide."
"There are too many hidden places in the valley. Burning down the forest may not have much effect. Instead, it will arouse the anger of the monks in the temple and the local people. If the emperor blames it..." Luo Ming worried.
Feng Xianghua pondered for a moment, and said: "How about..." Feng Xianghua whispered something to Luo Ming. In the empty valley, perhaps only God knows what they were discussing. Laughter, like a song echoing in the valley.
Soaring Front: The First World War Chapter 2 Assassination ([-])
In recent years, Hangzhou has developed rapidly. The superior geographical location has enabled the people of this ancient city to live a life without worrying about food and clothing.The support for the imperial court and the emperor is deeper than that of other places. In addition, the continuous boasting in local newspapers and Daqing Daily has made the local people's worship of the emperor reach a blind level.
In a tavern in a deep alley, three or five big men were drinking and chatting around the table.
"I said, a few days ago, who took the guts of a leopard to attack the Hangzhou mansion and assassinate the current emperor?" said a burly man.
"God knows, didn't the emperor's imperial guards easily solve it! How can these little thieves compete with the real man?"
The big man took a big sip of wine and said: "Hey, it's a pity that I can't see the emperor. I heard that the current emperor is only 26 years old, but he looks like a 62-year-old old man. He can see everything clearly, and he can't help foreigners. Playing around with applause. It's a fight for our Qing Dynasty!"
"That's right, even the Germans sent the princess over to our emperor to be his concubine." The young man who was speaking suddenly lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Brother, do you know that the emperor is going to Lingyin Jitian tomorrow. Have a chance to see the holy face!"
While speaking, the big man's eyes brightened and he said excitedly: "Really? Then if we go to Lingyin tomorrow, can we see the emperor? Is your news accurate, let me make a trip in vain, and be careful not to beat you up."
"That's right, my brother-in-law's cousin is working in the government office of Hangzhou, and he has gone to Feilai Peak today." The young man shouted anxiously.
