Eunuchs who traveled through the Qing Dynasty

"Why, are you afraid that I will harm him?" Lan'er shook her head with a smile, "Don't worry, when he was in the palace, he could calmly deal with more dangerous things than this, and he would lose to the red-haired ghost What's more, people say that a good man doesn't live long, and a disaster lasts for thousands of years. This guy is so bad that even if he wants to die, the King of Hades won't accept him!"

Both of them laughed when they said this.Yanlin suddenly sighed again, and said, "Sister, I really have wronged you in the cold palace these days. You...don't you really hate Xiao Sanzi?"

"Hate? Why?" Lan'er was silent for a while, walked to the window, and stretched out her hand to open the window.This is a north-south wing room with windows facing east, just in time for a gorgeous morning glow to rise from the sky, reflecting on her picture-like face, it looks even more charming and infinite.

"Speaking of it, you probably won't believe it. Ever since I was sidelined, I have never felt at ease in my heart. I ate well and slept soundly. I really didn't feel wronged. This After calming down, it made me think about many things, and I also realized how naive and ridiculous some of the things I did before were.

"Sister Lin, I actually don't have to hide this from you. Since the first day I stepped into the Forbidden City, I have been scheming for so many years. I have been scheming against others, and I also prevent others from scheming me. This kind of life of intrigue is actually true. Very tired, very tired. I often wake up inexplicably in my dreams, and just sit there until dawn...

"People who have never experienced this kind of experience will never understand the taste of it. Looking back, I don't even know how I survived for so many years, and I don't know how to live a life as peaceful as water. This kind of leisure and ease; this feeling of closing your eyes and feeling the dawn is actually so sweet...

"It's funny to say, if it wasn't for the fake eunuch Xiaosanzi, I might have lived under the shadow of power for the rest of my life. Now that everything has been seen, I feel an indescribable sense of relief. To say something disrespectful : Look at the Empress Dowager, who is working all day long, and a young woman has become so haggard! Compared to this, don't you think I am much happier now?

"Sometimes going through some accidents can make a person untie the knot. That is the biggest gain. Until now, I have tasted the true taste of the word plain. From now on, I don't want to go anywhere I just want to spend the rest of my life here quietly, that's enough..."

Yanlin stared blankly at Yehena Lalan'er in the morning light, she couldn't believe it no matter what.This once domineering woman is so calm and composed now that she would say such a thing!Seeing her dumbfounded look, Lan'er couldn't help laughing and said: "Besides, I haven't suffered any grievances at all. Sister Duocheng, you take care of me. Every day, I ask someone to deliver food to me in different ways. If I didn’t live in the Leng Palace, how could I have such a good fortune to taste the famous exquisite drink in your palace? I really don’t know how to thank my sister.”

Yanlin hesitated for a moment.He whispered: "Since sister said so, do you know who entrusted me to take care of you?"

"It's not you?" Lan'er was slightly taken aback, "Then, is it the Queen Mother?"

"No. It's the third son."

"Ah! It's...it's him!"

Lan'er swayed, and hurriedly supported the window lattice.The heart that had not been calm for a long time suddenly became chaotic.

……

Lan'er guessed right, this time Xiao Ran did make arrangements in advance.After recapturing the treasures of Daxing Mountain, he sent Duan Xingnian to escort the treasures back to Beijing, and at the same time gave him a secret mission: to force Wang Yi, who was discussing politics, to return to Beijing.

Yi had his life in his hands, so he had no choice but to agree.But I was thinking in my heart: what about declaring war?Anyway, the Ministry of Internal Affairs can't come up with money, I want to see how you, Xiao Ran, plan to fight this battle!

This question also troubled the eyebrows.Without a strong financial backing, the army would be unable to move forward at all, so the so-called declaration of war would become empty talk.what to do?Just as his brows were burning with anxiety, Yu Lai suddenly went to Dao Mi Zhe to report the surplus of Tong Ran Tang for a year.

It's a full 1000 million taels!

Mei already knew that Xiao Ran was going to hide his private money, but he couldn't think of it even after breaking his head, he actually hid a whole 1000 million in this stash!I couldn't laugh or cry for a while, and I didn't know whether to annoy him or thank him.

With this windfall, sending troops will not be a problem.Immediately ordered the monk king Seng Gelinqin's department, Shengjing general Nayanxin to seize the department, and the two armies launched at the same time.Almost all the Eight Banners Army and Green Battalion troops to the north of the capital came out in full force, splitting their routes for reinforcements.And a large number of new firearms and ammunition, food and supplies, also arrived at the front line continuously.

The actions of the Qing Dynasty stunned and caught the Russians, who were used to being domineering, dumbfounded and caught off guard.I thought it would be condescending to save face by shouting out a peace deal. Aren't those braided pigs eager to wag their tails?Who knew that these guys were really crazy, they crossed the border without thinking, and hit their own home with a stick!

Shock is shock, but still have to bite the bullet and fight.At this time, the red-haired devils had already heard that the firearms of the Qing Dynasty were so powerful that 600 people could make dumplings for 2 people.And the hundreds of thousands of lions in the army of the Qing Dynasty were full of arrogance and high morale.This is actually what happens in war. Once you gain momentum and military power, you dare to kill the enemy with a rolling pin, and a broken kitchen knife can become a Xiao Li flying knife.

Nayanxin Duobu on the North Road, together with the Jilin Eight Banners Army, took the lead in crossing the border and swept eastward along the Heilongjiang River. In less than a month, they took back all the seaports adjacent to the Pacific Ocean, such as Vladivostok and Yezhuhe Wharf. The flames of war continued to Tartar The strait blocked the return of Russian warships wandering in the Korean Strait.Then cross the Heilongjiang River and advance towards the Xing'an Mountains together with the reinforcements that came later.At this moment, the red-haired ghost only hated his parents for losing two legs.Seeing that the elite troops stationed in the Heilongjiang River Basin were all harmed by the Qing army, who would dare to resist?As long as the two legs are long, the early wind will be tight.

The whole journey was overwhelming, and finally in time for the Spring Festival of the first year of Tongzhi, the battle flag of the Qing Dynasty was successfully planted on the top of Maerbuluo Mountain.The giant dragon fluttering in the wind also means that the 60 square kilometers of land ceded by the "Hunter Treaty" three years ago has returned to the embrace of the motherland intact!Of course, the Qing army didn't care too much about the extra [-] square kilometers of land.

While Nayan Xinduo was galloping across the Heilongjiang River Basin, the Monk King cavalry in the middle road also went north along the Kyakhta, crossed the frozen Baikal Lake, turned westward, and headed for St. Petersburg without touching the ground. up.

Monk King is really not very strategic, but firstly he is quite brave, and secondly, his two generals are invincible and invincible this time.In just two months, they even reached the plains of West Siberia!On the 11th of the twelfth lunar month in the 28th year of Xianfeng, that is, the day before the Spring Festival, the Battle of Pacheng wiped out more than [-] people from the main force of central Russia. The rabbit was caught right away, and was sent to Beijing with snot and tears.

At this time, Beijing is immersed in the joy of the Lunar New Year.For many years, the Chinese New Year has never been so lively.The continuous cession of land, compensation, loss of power and humiliation of the country is like a huge stone pressing on everyone's heart.And this year, with the beating of the red-haired ghost, regaining the lost ground, and returning my land, the years of depression were swept away.Especially in the city of Beijing, the emperor hangs down, the emperor and the people celebrate together, the government and the public, inside and outside the capital, whether they are servants or ordinary people, there is a lively and jubilant scene.

There was only one person who was unhappy, and that was the official note issued by Prime Minister Yi Zongli Yamen, ordering the Qing Dynasty to immediately cease war against Russia!At the same time, the consuls of the United States, France and other countries also made informal calls, hoping that the Qing government would withdraw its troops immediately, otherwise resorting to force and other means would not be ruled out.

France has friendly relations with Russia, and Britain has enmity with Russia, but they have reached an astonishing agreement in their attitudes towards the Qing government.The reason couldn't be simpler. China's strength is also considered a threat to Western powers.In order to ensure stable interests in East Asia and plunder more resources and wealth, China's development must be contained.But this time the Qing government launched a large-scale military campaign and defeated the mighty Russian Empire, shocking the whole world.What will happen to China tomorrow if we just sit idly by and let things go their own way?This is a male lion with sleepy eyes that have been opened, no matter what, he cannot be made to stand up again!

The British fleet cruising in Bohai Bay has turned its guns.what to do?Yi patted his forehead again and again, frowning.

→Chapter 126 - Night Run←

At the same time as the international situation was changing rapidly, an unexpected change happened to the Nayanshin camp in the easternmost region of the Eurasian continent, which was preparing to march into the hinterland of Russia on a large scale: Xiao Ran Sheng Zuo, his subordinate, mysteriously disappeared together with six hundred brothers from three squadrons! ! !

This incident happened very suddenly. On the same day, Sheng Zuo received an order to lead the troops to intercept the red-haired ghost who fled westward.But never thought that this trip would be like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no news from him.At first everyone thought they were lost, or something went wrong. After all, according to the survivability and combat effectiveness of the special forces, it seems that there is no force in the northeast area that can compete with them.But what I didn't expect was that after seven or eight days in a row, there was still no one.

This is the direct descendant of the imperial envoy!All of a sudden there was an uproar, mutiny, fleeing, taking refuge in the red-haired ghost, all kinds of gossip came out one after another, and spread rapidly in the Qing army camp.Nayan Xinduo was well aware of Xiao Ran's tricks, and he didn't believe it at all, but he couldn't stand the rumors, the more the news spread, the more it became true, and in the end, what he said was as if he saw it with his own eyes, Nayan Xinduo couldn't sit still anymore , repeatedly went to Xiao Ran's account to ask what happened.

At this time, Xiao Ran looked remorseful, lamenting that he was not strict in running the army, and he had no way to control him. He gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and vowed to bring these traitors back with his own hands.Immediately call Nayan Ziqing, and lead two thousand soldiers from the Right Front Battalion to kill all the way with swords and swords.After crossing the continuous Maerbuluo Mountains, passing through the Shilka River Valley, and chasing after the city of Lukagis, it was discovered.A few days ago, Sheng Zuo led his troops and jumped on the red-haired ghost train from here, heading west all the way, what he saw was that he had defected to the Russians.

The Russian railway was first built in 1837, exactly. <For the first time, steel production peaked, and the railway construction was decent.In order to occupy the Pacific seaport in the Heilongjiang River Basin.Also in order to speed up the plundering of mineral resources, the Russians built a railway in the eastern region as early as the early 50s, and the easternmost point reached the city of Lucergis.Nayan Ziqing didn't know what the train was, and suddenly she raised her gun and was about to chase her. Seeing her confident posture, Xiao Ran couldn't laugh or cry.

This incident happened simply inexplicably, Xiao Ran, an imperial envoy in civilian clothes, has only Lin Qing'er left by his side.A Ma Chao, a monk Hua, almost became a polished commander.Desperate, but helpless, he had no choice but to retreat in desperation.Nayan Ziqing couldn't bear to see his distraught and heartbroken look. She camped that night and went to his tent to persuade him. Not only did she find out that this guy was with Lin Qing'er when she entered the tent. Hiding to eat hot pot.How can there be any trace of sadness in the excitement on his face?Looking at Xiao Ran who was eating so much oil, Nayan Ziqing was speechless at that moment.It was the first time in my life that I met such a heartless guy.

Ever since the blocking battle became famous that day, Xiao Ran's team has become the soul of the Qing army, and now such a serious defection happened.For a while, rumors spread and the morale of the army was unstable, so Nayan Xinduo had to suspend his plan to enter the army.It just so happened that the capital sent another decree, forcing Britain, the United States, France and other countries to intervene, the imperial court initially agreed to negotiate a peace, and ordered all troops ahead to cease fighting immediately.

Since it has always pursued the policy of closing the country to the outside world, the Qing government turned a deaf ear to the world situation.The geographical relationship and even the names of European countries will be confused.Xiao Ran is not particularly familiar with history. When Yuan was in the capital, he could only judge the world situation at that time based on his limited memory and guesswork.This time it hit the Russian mainland.Due to the relatively developed telegraph industry of the Russians and the fast flow of information, they have actually found out a lot of extremely valuable information.

In the first year of Tongzhi, which was 1862 AD in history, Germany had not yet achieved complete reunification, Prussia was still on the rise, and Austria had not withdrawn from the German Confederation.The United States, on the other hand, just broke out the Civil War, and the civil war was fought with great joy. The so-called use of force against China is nothing more than threats and intimidation.

But Britain and France, the two foreign devils really can't take it lightly.Especially the British fleet, the well-deserved maritime supremacy, from Guangzhou to Tianjin Port, there are royal fleets eyeing China covetously.Coupled with the current unstable situation in the south of the Yangtze River and the central and western regions, in terms of overall strength, China is of course still unable to compete with these major powers at the same time.

The battle with the Russians seems to have to stop now.Xiao Ran wrote a letter to Mei and Yi each, explaining the current world situation in detail, and asked the imperial court to order the central route to attack the Senggelinqin tribe in Russia, and the Yuan route to retreat to Kyakta;Draw

The regained lost ground cannot be lost anyway, so Nayan Xinlin Eight Banners Army was ordered to station here.At the same time, let the imperial court come forward and promise to repair the railway construction rights and treaty ports in Shandong and Henan in the territory with the British, so that the British can mediate in signing an armistice agreement with Russia.

The letter asked Pegasus Meteor to send it back to the capital, and at the same time told Lin Qing'er to pack up and prepare to greet Nayan Xinduo tomorrow morning before leaving for Beijing.It was dinner time at this time, and suddenly a messenger came to report that it was Nayan Ziqing who asked to see him.

Xiao Ran didn't know what she was looking for, so he took Lin Qing'er out of the camp immediately.A pile of campfires was set up in front of the tent, and next to it was Nayan Ziqing, dressed in military uniform, with a knife on her side, the cold wind blowing her head full of blue hair, and a war robe on her shoulders, looking very heroic.The beating flames reflected on her face, but her eyebrows were deeply furrowed, she was thinking about something.

Xiao Ran laughed, and said: "The night is long and I don't want to sleep. Miss Ziqing is thinking about me again? Why don't you have a long talk, our family is happy to accompany you."

It has been more than two months since we first met Da'an, and Xiao Ran has always been in this glib, playful and sloppy posture.At the beginning, Nayan Ziqing was always gnashing her teeth angrily, wishing she could kill him and then hurry up, but after a long time, she gradually got used to it.He said to himself that this guy is an eunuch anyway, and he belongs to the happy mouth gang, so there's no reason to really care about him.

After being silent for a while, Nayan Ziqing suddenly raised her head, as if she had made up her mind, she said, "Xiao Ran, I came to see you today, and I do have something important to say to you. But... it's not convenient to be here. , can we take a step to talk?"

Xiao Ran was slightly taken aback, thinking that he didn't know what this girl was going to sing today.But after getting along for a long time, I also know that this girl has a bad temper and a good heart, and she will definitely not harm herself, so she asked Lin Qing'er to go back to the big tent, followed Nayan Ziqing, and walked all the way to the back of the camp.

Behind the big camp, there is a frozen river valley with thousands of cliffs on one side.Seeing that she had gone far away, Nayan Ziqing pursed her lips and whistled, a few black shadows ran out of the woods by the edge of the valley, and only when they got closer could they see clearly through the light of the snow, it turned out to be her His two confidantes are leading two tall horses.One of the steeds was abnormal, shaking its head and snorting non-stop, but it was Nayan Ziqing's mount, the fiery war horse.

Xiao Ran was stunned and said: "Why, where is Miss Ziqing going? Don't you have to drive all night?"

Nayan Ziqing suddenly turned around, stared closely at Xiao Ran, stomped her feet fiercely, and said in a low voice: "I have wronged you!" Her arm swung out like lightning, hitting Xiao Ran's neck.Xiao Ran only felt a numbness in his neck, then lost his intuition and collapsed limply.

After an unknown period of time, I woke up in a daze, only to feel that my body was constantly shaking violently.There was something soft leaning on his back, it was very comfortable, and he couldn't help rubbing it hard, but unexpectedly there was a scream from behind, a strong push came, his body involuntarily rushed forward, and suddenly there was a sound in his chest. There was a sharp pain.

Only then did he wake up, and when he opened his eyes, he couldn't help being surprised.It turned out that I was riding on horseback at this time, and my sternum hit the copper saddle bridge, and the pain was unbearable.An empty horse followed beside him, and the person sitting behind him was none other than Nayan Ziqing.

Then the rubbing just now, could it be that it happened...

"Hey, get out of bed if you wake up! Go sit down by yourself!"

Nayan Ziqing shouted angrily.Xiao Ran got off the horse clumsily, and yelled: "Damn! Is it comfortable to sit in front of you? Your breastbone almost broke you!...Eh, why is there no one? Where is this?"

"You don't have to worry about where you are. Well, I'll take you here. Walk along this river, and you can go back to the Qing Dynasty." Nayan Ziqing also got off the saddle and took the other horse. The horse's reins were stuffed into Xiao Ran's hands, and he tightened the bundle tied to the saddle, urging: "It's done, let's go quickly. I came out without telling my mother, if it's late, the pursuers will probably arrive."
