Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

In an instant, the dozen or so imperial guards who were still around the sedan chair just now fell into a pool of blood.The sedan chair was turned into a hornet's nest by machine guns, and it seemed that the emperor in the sedan chair had no chance of surviving.Luo Ming, who was at the front of the line, shouted loudly: "Your Majesty!!"

A few soldiers of the imperial forest even braved the rain of bullets and tried to pull the emperor out of the sedan chair to find a place to cover, but they fell to the ground after rushing over.

The firepower cannot be suppressed, and people cannot be rescued.Watching the emperor's sedan chair being pierced by bullets one by one, everyone's faces were covered with tears, sweat, rain and even blood.

Just when everyone was so suppressed that they couldn't raise their heads, more than a dozen behemoths suddenly appeared in the sky and slowly moved towards here.

"General Luo, look..."

"Airship, it's an airship." Feng Xianghua shouted excitedly to a young soldier at the end of the line.

"What is this?" Luo Ming obviously didn't know that this was the latest new weapon that the emperor cooperated with the Germans.

"Boom...boom..."

The airship flew slowly over the Feilai Peak, and the machine gun that was spitting out the tongue of life-threatening flames in the place it passed was instantly misfired.

The airship was equipped with a 120mm caliber howitzer newly developed by Germany with extremely low recoil. More than a dozen airships flew over Feilai Peak, and wherever they went, a series of explosions followed.

At this time, Luo Ming seemed to have just realized it, and hurriedly ran to the ridden sedan chair, and opened the special sedan door made of steel plates...

He was stunned by the sight in front of him...

Soaring Front: World War I Chapter 2 Playing Hard to Get

Wu Guang, who had stayed up for two full days and two nights, had bloodshot eyes. Three hours ago, the news was transmitted from the south that his subordinates had laid an ambush around Lingyin Temple, waiting for Emperor Guangxu to pass by there. Give him a fatal blow.

Wu Guang tightly clutched a pocket watch with a gold case made in Germany. Three hours passed, and time was more ruthless than war at this time.

"Hangzhou Telegram!" The signal soldier came in and reported. "After an hour of fighting, Emperor Guangxu was executed. More than half of our personnel were killed or injured, but they have all retreated."

Wu Guang was so excited that he almost shed tears. The removal of Guangxu, the biggest stumbling block, meant that it was only a matter of time before the Qing Dynasty was renamed and changed hands. Without Guangxu's leadership in the future, those ministers under him would all become headless flies. They can only fly around, and now half of the troops of the Northwest Army are in their own hands. As long as the master gives an order, within half a month, his soldiers will be able to take down the Northwest region, and then move eastward, directly Huanglong.However, he quickly forced himself to calm down. According to past experience, Guangxu is not a simple-minded person, and it is impossible for him to be plotted against so easily. This time it is because of our good fortune or his negligence.

"Telegram this news to Beijing immediately." There is no need to think about these boring reasons now, the most urgent thing is to keep in touch with Beijing and get the next action plan from the master.

I soon got a reply from there, only eight short words: "Don't be impatient, wait for the time."

Wu Guang pondered the meaning of the eight words. Beijing must not be at ease. If he wants to continue to observe the trend in Hangzhou, the master still thinks far ahead.In the next half day, the happy news from Hangzhou came one after another. Wu Guang became more and more determined that the emperor was dead. He sent another telegram to Beijing, asking for the time for the troops. The reply there was still only eight words. : Don't be restless, wait for the time.Wu Guang couldn't help being suspicious, what did he mean, did he want to stabilize me first, and then swallow the fruits of victory for himself?When meeting the alliance back then, he made a vow that if the big event comes to fruition in the future, he will be Huang Taiji, he will be Wu Sangui, and rule the world together, but now that thorn in his side has been removed, what is he waiting for?

The news of the assassination of the emperor in Hangzhou quickly spread to the capital. Some well-informed ministers came to Peng Yulin. The small military aircraft office was overcrowded. He has gone to Henan for disaster relief with the imperial edict but has not yet returned. Peng Yulin was devastated by all the big and small incidents in Beijing.Without finding out the truth of the matter, he personally clarified to the ministers that the emperor was in Hangzhou as usual and should not listen to rumors.

A day later, the Ministry of War suddenly sent a dispatch order saying that the rebels in the south were in trouble, and ordered Wu Guang to lead his division to go south to quell the chaos immediately, and another elite division to rush eastward to defend Gyeonggi.For this strange order, Wu Guang was as excited as if he had beaten chicken blood. He immediately called together his trusted generals and held a secret military meeting to officially announce the news of Guangxu's death. Read through it, and then wait for everyone's response.

"That old dog Nie Shicheng has been emptied by us a long time ago. He has no more than three divisions in his hands. The elite troops are in our hands. Now is the time to send troops." No. 30 Ninth Division Commander Ni Cong is hot Like Wu Guang, he thought that he had outstanding military exploits, but he was not reused by the court, and he was full of resentment towards the emperor.He was the first to respond when he heard that an army was going to be raised.

The rest of the people were also impassioned. After the death of Emperor Guangxu, each of them unloaded the heavy gate in their hearts, and they were full of confidence in this remonstrance.

"Then it's decided. After you go back, immediately mobilize the army and generals. I have seen someone. Tomorrow is an auspicious day. At that time, the troops will be divided into two divisions, No. 30, 37, 38, and 39 divisions." Follow me eastward to Beijing, and the remaining three divisions, led by Ni Cong, will go southward to occupy Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Guangxi, especially places like arsenals and shipyards. "There is a strong confidence in Wu Guang's gestures and eyes.

In front of the gate of the palace in Hangzhou, there were more than a dozen machine guns and mortars. Luo Ming’s guards were holding new-style Mauser rifles, looking serious and nervous. Xu Bangdao sent a division of troops to block the streets in front of the gate of the palace. .

Every few steps in the palace, there is a guard from the Imperial Forest Army, and the more you go inside, the more guards there are.

In the emperor's palace, there are only a dozen people kneeling on the ground, including Feng Xianghua, Luo Ming, Xu Bangdao, Huang Feihong, Huo Yuanjia, Dao Wang Wu, Yanzi Li San, etc., all of whom are said to be the most trusted and relied on by the emperor. .

"Damn the slave, it's the slave's ineffective protection that gives the chaotic party an opportunity, please punish the emperor." Luo Ming, a man who has always been tough, burst into tears at this moment.

"I'm guilty!" Feng Xianghua kowtowed to plead guilty with the rest of the people.

"Get up, everyone." A person came out from behind the golden curtain, and it was Guan Xuqing.

None of the people present dared to get up, not even to raise their heads.

"Jiang Chaozong's news was delivered in time! The assassins sent by Wu Guang actually arrived in Hangzhou long ago. They had plenty of time to prepare. Fortunately, I took precautions in advance. Luo Ming, under the Feilai Peak, I took the That sedan chair was shot into a hornet's nest, and when you opened the sedan door, I was still sitting in the sedan chair, didn't you find it strange?" Guan Xuqing walked to Luo Ming's side and said, gently stroking his shoulder.

"The slave deserves death!" Luo Ming trembled all over, his face almost touching the ground.

"That sedan chair was specially made for me by the Hanyang Armory Factory. It is made of 120mm special steel plate. Not to mention bullets, even machine guns can't penetrate it. Thirty people carry a small sedan chair. Not only the assassins didn't pay attention, but you The head of the security regiment didn't notice either." Guan Xuqing's hand followed the voice and pressed heavily on Luo Ming's shoulder.

"Your servant is negligent, your servant..." There were fine beads of sweat on Luo Ming's forehead.

Feng Xianghua and the others kowtowed again: "The ministers are negligent, please punish the emperor."

"Forget it, let's get flat." Guan Xuqing waved his hands, and everyone stood up timidly. "Wu Guang and those rebels underestimated me too much. They thought they were clever in their disguise. If I tried a little trick, wouldn't they all be exposed?"

"What does your majesty mean is that it is false to go to Lingyin Temple to sacrifice to the sky, but is it true to attract assassins? If it were not for the majesty's ingenious plan, the slaves would have almost caused a catastrophe." Feng Xianghua deserved to be by the emperor's side for a long time, and he immediately smelled the implication of Guan Xuqing's words , I really admire this master from the bottom of my heart.

"The play is far from over yet. A mere two hundred assassins came to Hangzhou majestically with light and heavy weapons. Don't you think it's strange that our people didn't notice at all?" Guan Xuqing frowned. , the seriousness of this problem is more terrible than assassination.

"The emperor means that there are traitors around us?" Luo Ming dared to ask.

"Please issue an order from the emperor. The slave will find out when he is arrested as a thief, Sun Shixiong. Even if he is not a traitor, he must be accused of negligence." .

"Sun Shixiong is not a traitor. If he were, he would not have honestly handed over his son to me, and this matter is not as simple as arresting one or two people."

"The servants have already interrogated the assassins, and they admitted that Wu Guang sent them, but if they ask their accomplices, they still can't tell. It's really annoying!" Luo Ming said through gritted teeth.

"These assassins are just minor characters. Of course I don't know about other things. Xianghua, immediately send a secret telegram to Beijing, saying that I have been assassinated and died today." Guan Xuqing said firmly, his tone undeniable.

"Your Majesty..." Feng Xianghua and others knelt down together, unable to figure out what the Emperor's purpose was for doing this.

"Don't make a fuss. If I don't do this, how can I make Wu Guang submit? More importantly, I want to lead out the mastermind behind the rebellion. I want to know who this person is! Do you still remember that before my southern tour, Shi Duo When people openly launched a rebellion, more than 1000 people dared to rush into the palace to seize my seat, and the troops rushing to help from all over the country have not arrived for a long time. Since then, I have suspected that there must be a biggest mastermind behind these people , This person is not only my close minister, but also holds a large number of troops in his hands, if this person is not eliminated, the country and society of the Qing Dynasty will not be safe." Guan Xuqing's face is daunting.

"In addition, try to find out the rebels' radio station from the assassin's mouth, and send a message to Wu Guang in the northwest in the tone of an assassin, saying that the assassination plan was successful. Only in this way can they be lured into submission. I have been arrested according to what I carefully crafted... Are all the troops dispatched to Chongqing, Chengdu, Zhengzhou, etc. in place?" Guan Xuqing asked Feng Xianghua.

"It's all in place."

"Send a confidential telegram to Nie Shicheng and Jiang Chaozong, telling them to observe the movement of Wu Guang's army at any time. As soon as the rebels are dispatched, they will immediately lead their troops to pursue them from behind. At the same time, ask the army ambushed in Chongqing and other places to intercept them. At 10,000 +Under the front and back attacks of the army, Wu Guang was squeezed into a pie even if he was a piece of iron."

"Wait a minute!" Wang Shang was about to go out after receiving the order, but was stopped by Guan Xuqing. "Send a secret telegram to Dong Liang, Lu Yiwei, and Liu Mingchuan respectively, telling them to keep the army firmly in their own hands, and strictly prevent anyone from causing trouble and mutiny. Send Zhang Yu's 59th Division to Tongzhou as soon as possible, and wait for my orders at any time."

"twitter!"

"Kneel down."

After everyone left, Guan Xuqing paced around the room, thinking about whether there were any loopholes in his plan, Jingfen hurried in with tears still on his face: "Your Majesty, I heard that you met an assassin ..."

"It's nothing, I just met a few little thieves who don't have long eyes. Look, isn't I doing well? Wipe away your tears, if you keep crying like this, the beauty will become a big cat."

Jingfen smiled through tears, and hugged the emperor tightly, fearing that if she let go, she would lose the whole world.

Soaring Front: The First World War 2 Chapter [-] Secret Return to Luan (revised)

Guan Xuqing is very aware that the plan he personally directs takes great risks. Even if he tries his best to control the news of death to a very small range, for the German, British, and French spy organizations, the spread of information is nothing more than It's a matter of time. Once they have confirmed the news of China's civil strife and the emperor's assassination, no one can guarantee that they will not take advantage of it.

In two days, Luo Ming captured more than 100 people with suspicious identities in the city of Hangzhou. In order not to attract the attention of others, he secretly executed these people immediately.

When it was almost noon, Feng Xianghua came, "Zhang Yu's army has rushed to Tongzhou, waiting for the emperor's order at any time."
