Zaiying nodded, looking a little embarrassed, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't dare to say it.

Guan Xuqing glanced at him: "If you have anything to say, just talk about it."

"Cha." Zaiying said submissively: "Slave... I think these people... can't be killed."

"Oh why?"

"Your Majesty, please think about it. Now the Bannermen have deep grievances against the imperial court and the Han people. The so-called freezing three feet does not happen in a day. The current incident is an introduction. If these people are killed, the whole situation will definitely be intensified. I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with it at that time. The servant thought it would be better to let these people go, but they can't let them go for free. They will be given ten years' land money, and let them go to Siberia, where they can make a living. On the one hand, this will show the emperor En Haodang, he still has compassion for the banner people. On the other hand, if these people live affluently there, it happens to be a living example. When the media makes a big splash on this matter, it will definitely have a negative impact on the banner people all over the country. Everyone has an educational and exemplary role. Your Majesty, look..."

"Okay, I really didn't misread you. This opinion is powerful and extraordinary." Guan Xuqing patted Zaiying on the shoulder happily.

Soaring Front: World War I Chapter 326 Prison Disaster

After a few hot sessions, Ying Er Er in the Shuntian Mansion Prison has long since lost the style of the former second master. Shun Tian Mansion and the Ministry of Criminal Trials have tried several times but there is no verdict, although it was heard that he was insulting today when he was interrogated. After a while, I heard that it was just a mouthful of criticism of the government, but judging from the inmates in the Shuntian Mansion prison where I am now, it doesn't look like I want the Yi people. To die, Ying Er himself couldn't figure it out, but he reckoned that at least this little life would not be saved.From the day he entered the prison, Eiji regretted it, and after a few days, his guts were green with regret.

On this day, Ying Er, who was eager to win, finally heard the news that China planned to send troops to Europe to fight the big staff. He immediately had a glimmer of hope in his heart. This life was saved.When Ying Er excitedly told this conjecture to others, he was beaten back coldly, and Baoshan, a well-known thorn in the prison, said in a strange way: "Come on, Ying Er, our men will pardon you with a big amnesty. You dare to be disrespectful to the emperor, and still carry several lives on your back, and still want to get out alive? Don't dream of spring and autumn. After all, even if you go out, what can you do? It's not a dead word to eat and wait for death... ..."

"Hahahahaha——" The few prisoners around who bit their braids in their mouths couldn't help but spit out their braids, and laughed together with Baoshan.

This Yinger is not a good person at all, and he has endured a lot of grievances in the past few months. After being ridiculed, after thinking about it, he really has no hope of surviving. Those who have no nose and no face will be hit.For a while, those who persuaded the fight took the opportunity to attack the black feet, and made the prison run wild.

"What the hell are you doing? You're in a hurry to close the gate of hell!" Hearing the sound, the prison chief ran over with a few guards and shouted.The group of people who were wrestling looked at each other sullenly and lowered their heads.

"Here, it's okay to read the newspapers. The Siberian banner people have made a lot of money, and you are still here, all of you are like grandchildren." As he said, the prison chief threw a stack of newspapers in through the fence, cursing gone.

"Get rich? Why haven't I heard of it?" Eiji picked up the newspaper and read it. The inmates next to him stopped typing at this time, and all leaned over to read the newspaper.Bao Shan, who was fighting with Ying Er just now, also raised his head at this time: "Don't just read it for yourself, read it out for everyone to listen to."

Ying Er glanced at Baoshan, and said in a strange way: "You don't have fucking eyes, there are a lot of newspapers, read it yourself."

Baoshan stared: "Nonsense, if I know how to read, I still need to ask you?"

"Fuck!" Eiji rolled his eyes and glared at these people, but didn't say anything.As soon as he glanced at it, he exclaimed: "Fuck! Isn't this the grandson of E San in the photo? This kid was eating and drinking in restaurants a while ago, and now he's living in the Shangqingtang Washe, too. He’s still dressed like a dog. How can God say that?” After reading it for a while, Ying Er was completely stupefied. It turned out that the newspaper said that E San’er had voluntarily gone to East Siberia to develop. He bought him a ready-made new house and helped him purchase the production tools. E San'er put all the landed money for ten years in the Far East Joint Stock Company to share dividends and generate profits. He even opened up [-] acres under the guidance of others. In the wasteland, five Russian laborers were hired. It is estimated that the harvest in one year will be able to repay half of the cost of the house. In addition to the year-end dividends from the Far East Joint Stock Company, E San'er can live a comfortable life there. Life.In the end, E San'er brazenly told the reporter: "If I pay off the house tomorrow and have some savings, I plan to marry a Russian woman as my wife."

"Bah! What is it?" Ying Er scolded E San'er's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart, thinking that E San'er is nothing, he was just a servant of the Shuncheng Palace back then, and he was a dignified man The hereditary captain of Qingche, but it was the Yin Gong established by the ancestors, and now I have no luck to enjoy it. I didn't expect E San'er to climb on my head, and she was shy and wanted to marry a Russian woman , why!

The bannerman in the cell all asked Yinger what was written in the newspaper, and Yinger said it vaguely.Some of these people cursed, some resented, some felt sorry for themselves, the buzzing voices of the crowd almost lifted the roof of the house.

"Don't fucking quarrel." Baoshan turned his head and scolded: "Second Master Ying, we are all men under the flag. If we don't fight, we don't know each other. Baoshan is just like me. I'm rough, so don't take it to heart."

Baoshan made a gesture, but Eiji felt a little embarrassed. This is not a person with a bad nature, but just trying to save face.Now he was a little embarrassed.Looking at Baoshan's awkward smile, which was a bit miserable, he stammered: "Brother...it's brother, he has a stinky mouth and a bad temper... Sigh, it turns out that E San'er is not as good as one of my masters, and now he is in Russia. The people on the side are like dogs, and we don't know if we can save our lives." Eiji lowered his eyebrows and turned his face away from the corner of the wall.

"Don't think about it." Baoshan regained his expression of being a bully in prison, patted Yinger on the shoulder and said, "It's just a little bit of flesh and blood. Since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, there has never been a knife to kill a bannerman, and it can't be killed." There is no law for killing banner people. How can we say that we are also men under the banner. Our ancestors have made great contributions since entering the customs... Maybe we are going to Ninggu Pagoda... Release us later, let us learn from others E San'er went to Russia to hang around, with our brother's style and popularity, he is probably much better than him, E San'er."

After saying this, Ying Er's face turned a little bloody, and he smiled miserably: "Brother Baoshan said that if you can't die, I'm afraid you really want to go to Ninggu..." Speaking of this, it seems to be thinking of What, after deciding, the smile froze and said: "Maybe...you have to go further north..."

On the other hand, let’s talk about the prison boss, who is sulking at the bannermen here, and before receiving the order from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, they can’t scold or beat them.Just as he was thinking about it, the jailer over there came to report that Mr. Zhao from the Ministry of Punishment had come.

"Master Zhao, you have worked hard." The jailer walked up a few steps, and greeted the visitor, and Master Zhao, who was facing him, held his nose and said calmly: "Yes, what are we working hard for? It's all for the emperor. What are you doing, those bastards didn’t cause trouble for you, Mr. Hu?” After taking a silver ingot that the old man stuffed in, his attitude changed immediately, and he nodded and said, “It’s better to put this thing on the Feel solid."

After entering the house, Mr. Zhao looked serious, and said straight to the point: "Two things, first, those banner people who are making trouble will leave camp and go to Tomsk in a few days. This is the grace of the emperor, and it is also for these banner people Compassionate."

The old man hurriedly nodded and handed over a cup of tea. Mr. Zhao took a sip of the tea and said, "Secondly, you must take good care of these people before you leave. It's up to you."

"Your Excellency said so." As he spoke, the jailer put another ingot of silver into Master Zhao's arms...

Soaring Brilliance: World War I Chapter 327 Sino-French Hostage Incident

Three days later, Yinger and other bannermen were put on the train going north, bumped in a stuffy jar for a full week, and when they got off the train, Yinger and the others almost vomited their hearts, livers and lungs. In Russia, which is already thousands of miles away, the people from the Bureau of Banner Affairs told them that the emperor has pardoned your capital crimes and given you the opportunity to start a business. kindness.

Ying Er's legs softened and he knelt on the ground, facing the direction of Beijing and weeping: "If I, Ying Er, don't make a career here, I will be a fucking son of a bitch!"

Guan Xuqing finally breathed a sigh of relief after dealing with the matter of these bannermen, and then waited to see how these people performed in Tomsk.But the majestic Kaiser Wilhelm II made Guan Xuqing dumbfounded. Now that the second Battle of the Marne is about to start, he is like a bystander, visiting the Imperial Temple in Beijing, visiting the Beihai, or discussing the overall situation of the world with Guan Xuqing. He looked happy to miss Shu, and never mentioned the matter of returning to Germany.Guan Xuqing knew in his heart that Wilhelm intended to stay in Beijing at this critical moment in order to give the world a false impression that China and Germany had the same views on European and even world issues. In the European War, we will firmly stand on the side of the Germans.

However, William's wishful thinking soon ran into crisis. He didn't expect that the stupid German War Ministry would have friction with the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs because of a command issue, and even went to the point of monitoring other people's embassies. He felt extremely embarrassed in Beijing.He immediately sent a secret telegram to his Ministry of the Army, severely reprimanding the stupid behavior of the Ministry of War, and ordered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to immediately hold a press conference to publicly apologize to the staff of the Chinese embassy and clarify the rumors of a rift in Sino-German relations. The adverse effects caused by the incident were kept to a minimum.

After issuing this order, William still felt that it was not appropriate, so he came to see the Chinese emperor in person, hoping to obtain the understanding of the brother-in-law.

Guan Xu listened quietly to William's slightly apologetic and sad explanation, finally stood up and picked up the western sword in the study room, and said to William: "I still remember that you gave this knife to me at the Berlin celebration last year. My, I have always loved it very much..." As he spoke, he slightly exerted force on his wrist, and with a clang, a cold light flashed, and the knife was pulled out by a third, shining brightly in the slanting morning light.Guan Xuqing cast his eyes on William and said: "A good knife cannot be without a scabbard. The scabbard is not only a decoration, but also an indispensable protection for the knife. The knife and the scabbard are just like China and Germany."

William's eyes lit up, and he held Guan Xuqing's hand tightly: "Your Majesty, thank you for your understanding and tolerance. As the leader of the German Empire, I swear that no matter what happens, the friendship between China and Germany will never be broken." Change."

"We are friends, there is no need to talk between friends." Guan Xuqing said with a smile.

While the two were talking, Dai Hongci, the director of the Telegraph Bureau, hurriedly came to see the emperor. Guan Xuqing knew that something must have happened when he saw his ashes.

"Emperor..." Dai Hongci was about to report, when he looked up and saw William II looking at him with a smile, he couldn't help but be speechless for a while.

"If you have anything to say, just talk about it. There are no outsiders here." Guan Xuqing smiled and looked at William, who nodded in greeting.

"Your Majesty, something serious has happened!" Dai Hongci said loudly, Guan Xuqing's whole body was shaken, and he immediately suppressed his smile.

"Yesterday, Shao Lizhuo, the Minister to France, was ordered to go to the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs to mediate. The people in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not respond positively, but shifted the responsibility to the French combat command, so Shao Lizhuo approached Xiafei who was in charge of the front line of the Marne River. General, you have shown China's intention to mediate, but I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it..." Dai Hongci thumped his thigh heavily and sighed.

"Go on, what's going on?" Guan Xuqing involuntarily leaned forward.

"I didn't expect that General Xiafei would not buy China's account at all. He criticized our government and His Majesty in his words. He said that the Chinese are wolves in sheep's clothing. On the surface, they pretend to be mediators hypocritically. To seek the fruits of the war, he also said that France and England have made all preparations to sweep away all enemies who dare to invade, and they even did not hesitate to enter Beijing as they did 30 years ago, and push the emperor...you off the throne..." Dai Hongci Not daring to say any more, he peeked at the emperor's reaction.

Guan Xuqing didn't speak immediately, but his eyes were extremely cold and sharp at this time, and his right hand had already clenched the corner of the dragon robe.After a while before he calmed down, he glanced at William II, who was secretly delighted, from the corner of his eye, and pretended to say nonchalantly: "It's just a few big words, so what's the matter. Gauls always like to put themselves He boasted that he was very great, if he really had that kind of ability, I would be waiting in Beijing at any time to see how they push me down from the throne." After finishing speaking, Guan Xuqing smiled lightly and waved to Dai Hongci, meaning that you can go down if you have nothing to do. .

Dai Hongci wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "If that's the case, it's okay, then General Xiafei imprisoned Shao Lizhuo viciously later, declaring that if China dares to use troops against the coalition army, it will be the first to detain China's diplomats." Officer killed."

"Bastard! It's been said since ancient times: When two countries are fighting, they don't kill each other. Now they dare to take our diplomats as hostages. This Xiafei is too arrogant and despicable!" Guan Xuqing suddenly stood up, and the veins on his forehead twitched. "Immediately ask Wu Tingfang and the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs to conduct a solemn negotiation on this matter, and ask the French side to release the detainees unconditionally. Otherwise, China will not be responsible for all the bad consequences caused by it."

"Your Majesty, after the incident happened, Minister Wu immediately negotiated with the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but the other party said that the matter was beyond the jurisdiction of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and ignored our request..." Dai Hongci replied with a face of embarrassment. .

"It seems likely that the French government secretly instructed Joffre to do this. They are pushing themselves to the opposite side of the empire..." Guan Xuqing turned to William and said, "What do you think about this matter?"

The cunning William shrugged his shoulders and said: "This is a matter of your country. I'm sorry that I can't comment on it casually. But the arrogance and conceit of the Gauls are known all over the world. To deal with such a country, you must use cannons to give them a good fight." Just take a lesson."

Guan Xuqing did not express his position, but said something strange to Dai Hongci: "Immediately call Jianfeng and let them make all preparations."

Dai Hongci responded and withdrew.

William asked suspiciously: "What exactly is the sharp point you are talking about?"

Guan Xuqing sneered, did not answer William's words, but looked at the Western saber, and said to himself: "The French will definitely regret this behavior!"

About ten days before the Chinese Lunar New Year, the German army launched the second Battle of the Marne on the land of the French and Belgians, with the goal directed at Paris.

On January 1897, 1, the German army first launched against the British and French allied forces in the Aisne River area, forming a salient portion of the Marne River with a frontage of 25 kilometers and a depth of 80 kilometers.Subsequently, the German High Command planned to concentrate the forces of the 60 armies in the Marne area (the 3th, 7st, and 1rd armies, a total of 3 divisions, 48 artillery pieces, and more than 6353 airships). The river section broke through the defense line of the Allied Forces and pierced the heart of France like a sharp knife, Paris.

The French 6th, 5th, and 4th armies (36 divisions, 3080 artillery pieces in total) adopted a deep echelon configuration to organize defenses and prepare to switch to counter-offensive at an appropriate time. At 26:30 on the 1th, the French army unexpectedly launched a fierce artillery counterattack against the German army that was about to attack.After more than three hours of artillery preparation, the German 3st and 3rd armies launched an offensive east of Reims and broke through the first French position, but were stopped by heavy artillery fire in front of the second position.The German 7th Army broke through the defense lines of the French 5th and 6th Army in the Zoorgone and St. Everez areas, advanced 5-8 kilometers, and forcibly crossed the Marne River.

At the same time, the French artillery suddenly bombarded the crossings and bridges of the Marne River in an attempt to delay the German advance.

协约国军队在防御过程中增调部队准备反攻。联军总司令福煦决心由法第10、第6集团军(25个步兵师、3个骑兵师,共2103门火炮)从马恩河突出部西侧对当面德军(18个师,918门火炮)实施主攻,法第9、第5集团军从突出部东侧实施助攻,以解除德军对巴黎的威胁。
