Space-time SWAT

Mu Botao is Mu Boming's eldest brother. He is the same age as Lu Haocang. He once won the first prize, but he is not pedantic. He is very accepting of Western knowledge and has repeatedly written to Emperor Guangxu to support the reform.Later, the reform failed, and Mu Botao escaped from the capital in time.Almost the whole family of the Mu family was imprisoned, but fortunately they were protected by several prominent families and envoys from Britain, the United States, France, Germany and Japan, and Lu Haocang held a heavy army in the southwest, threatening faintly, which forced Cixi to stop.When Mu Botao returned to the capital, he lost his official position and was dismissed. Now he is at home, but he is like a dragon diving into the abyss, and he will surely take off one day.If they can become in-laws with him, it will be of great benefit to both Lu Haocang and Lu Zhaolin.Lu Haocang controls the Southwest, and the Mu Manor values ​​him very much. In addition, Lu Zhaolin himself is very good, and he is also good friends with Mu Boming. Mu Botao will definitely not refuse such a close relationship.

So busy, until the Lantern Festival on the 15th of the first lunar month, Lu Zhaolin left the Lu Mansion and formally enlisted in the army.

He leads a team of troops, trains independently, and is not controlled by the superior.As soon as he entered the army, his official title was that of a regular officer, equivalent to a colonel in a western army.Mu Boming was his assistant, and his official title was Deputy Counselor, equivalent to a lieutenant colonel.Lu Haocang sent over two assistant leaders, both of whom were his confidantes, who had been promoted from the lower ranks. Loyal and loyal, after coming here, he expressed that he would do his best to assist the young master, and he would definitely live up to Master Lu's trust.

The main military academy, deputy military academy, association military academy and sergeants are low-level military officers, so Lu Haocang doesn't care.Lu Zhaolin said that he has a method of training troops, and he selects and promotes grassroots officers.

Now all the sons of the Lu family are young, only Lu Zhaolin has grown up, so other people in the Lu family have not yet had the strength to reach out to the army, so there is no internal fighting between the Lu family forces.Although there are factions in the army, it is just a struggle between Lu Haocang's faction and the military officers' faction dispatched by the Ministry of War.The strong dragon does not overwhelm the local snake, and Lu Haocang's forces still dominate.The military instructors sent by the Ministry of War have received training and guidance from German instructors, so they regard the soldiers in Sichuan as idiots, with a haughty attitude, and recruit some low-level officers and soldiers, and have great conflicts with the local officers. They just need them to train the new army, Lu Haocang Had to bear with it.Now that he has his own son who graduated from a German military academy, he doesn't want to put up with those idiots anymore.Lu Zhaolin also didn't want anyone to hinder him, so he planned to grab the opponent as soon as possible, either for his own use, or rush back to the capital.

The place where the new army trains is not inside the city, but Phoenix Mountain in the northern outskirts of the city.It is about six kilometers away from the downtown area of ​​Rongcheng. There are mountains, rivers and flat land. During training, you can make full use of the terrain and landforms to exercise the army's all-terrain combat capability.

Lu Zhaolin and Mu Boming moved here and lived together in the officer's dormitory. The conditions are only better than the Datong shop in the military camp.

The military uniforms of the new army are imitation of the German style, but the color is different, it is gray blue, with epaulettes, collar patches, and cap badges.Lu Zhaolin put on his uniform with a belt around his waist and riding boots on his feet, looking very heroic.Mu Boming also put on the military uniform, equally heroic, looking forward to flying.

The two looked at each other and smiled, walking side by side towards the school grounds.

More than half a month later, a thick personal letter was sent from the capital to the Sichuan Governor's Mansion, bringing a shocking news.Soon, the court mansion newspapers followed one after another, and all of them were full of wind and rain.

On the Lantern Festival on the 15th of the first lunar month, the curfew is opened in the capital, and the people have fun together.Lanterns are all over the street, there are many dragon and lion dancers, and the pedestrians are bustling and noisy.At night, several fires broke out on Chang'an Avenue, which made the admiral Jiumen tired of coping.

A Jianghu man named Du Xinwu disguised himself to sneak into the Forbidden City and assassinated the Empress Dowager Cixi who was watching the lanterns on the tower of the Imperial Palace.

At the same time, a group of rebels rushed to Yingtai to rescue Emperor Guangxu who had been imprisoned by Cixi for six years.

History has once again changed drastically.

After Emperor Guangxu was restored, there was no one in his hands. Those who followed him died or fled or were imprisoned. Only Mu Boming stayed at home.He sent someone to pass the decree to the Mufu, and Mu Boming immediately led the imperial guards to arrest Rong Lu and Yuan Shikai.After receiving the official seal of the Beiyang army, he immediately took over the new army, the Gan army and the Wuyi army, and then quickly dispatched troops to Beijing, put the whole city under martial law, arrested criminals who rebelled against the party, and defended the emperor.

Emperor Guangxu hated the Empress Dowager Cixi so much that he didn't allow ministers and wives to enter the palace to worship, and she was buried hastily after only three days of mourning. The burial objects were only daily clothes and simple utensils, not a single valuable thing.Cixi's coffin was not buried in the repaired Boduo Yuding Dongling, but was buried in Yuling Concubine Garden.

In fact, what was buried was only an empty coffin. Cixi herself had been wrapped in a straw mat and sent to the incarnation field by someone he sent, claiming to be an old palace lady who died of illness, and burned to ashes together with those untouchable eunuchs.

Although no decree has been issued yet, Guangxu has secretly decided to break the mausoleum system, dismantle the beautiful Boduo Yuding Tomb that cost millions of taels of silver, and use those materials to build his own Chongling Mausoleum.The country is poor and can no longer afford to spend huge sums of money to build imperial mausoleums. Using these materials can save more than half of the cost.It only took a little labor and a few new materials, but he could still afford it, and it was a pleasure to think about it.Although some people thought it was bad luck, especially the ministers who were proficient in geomantic omen all sent out papers to dissuade him, Guangxu didn't pay any attention to it at all.Half of his life was full of hardships and sufferings, and he no longer believed in these rumors of strange powers and gods.

There is no longer any malicious oppression from above, and he can do whatever he wants now. He is very disgusted by those clan relatives who put on airs of elders and rotten Confucians who say that they call Confucius and Mencius.As long as he doesn't damage his ancestors, he doesn't need these people's opinions on some trivial matters. Naturally, he is arbitrary.

He has been the emperor for so many years, he has always been like a puppet, and has been oppressed by all kinds of oppression. Only now can he really feel the power of the emperor and the real happiness.

Emperor Guangxu's posthumous title for Cixi was "Li".Killing innocents is harsh, cruelty is harsh, cruel and rude is harsh, supporting evil and violating righteousness is harsh, and talking long-tongued is harsh, which is in line with Cixi's actions during his lifetime.Although some princes and ministers strongly opposed it, the posthumous title has not changed.

The nuns, eunuchs, and maids around Cixi usually work as minions, and even he has to bow down to them and deliberately please them. In the past, he dared to pour cold tea and cold water on the emperor, but now he naturally has no good end.Guangxu ordered that these dog slaves be executed by Lingchi, half-cut or stick, and all relatives copied and beheaded.

Then, he issued an imperial decree accusing Cixi of disobedience to the ancestral family law, unfilial, unkind, forcing her own son to death, imprisoning her heir, being insane, and unworthy of being a mother. The biological mother Yehenala (Cixi's sister) is the empress dowager.In this way, his being emperor is not an adoption, but a brother and sister.

In addition, he did not intend to observe filial piety, and decreed that the day should be used to represent the year, and the national mourning period should be 27 days, and people were not allowed to marry, play and drink, and slaughtered.He listened to the government as usual, still using Zhu Zhu, and at the same time decreed to abolish the empress.
