Those foreign devils from the eight countries were a new type of army in the world at that time! They were as fierce as tigers and wolves in fighting, and they were well-trained, and their individual combat capabilities were very superb! They were not just paper.

In this turbulent era of international military equipment and firearms! Qi Ge is weak and has a sprained foot, so fighting head-on is not a good idea.

So Seventh Brother gritted his teeth, jumped up with one leg, and jumped two meters high. Adding his own height, he stretched out his hands to grab the square eaves of the street shop. With all his strength, he reached the house, and then limped.

He turned around and moved to the roof of another alley and escaped smoothly.

The beast-like coalition forces fired their big guns behind him, sending tiles flying across the sky and smoke rising. Many gray debris rolled down and shattered all over the street...

Brother Qi returned to the countryside of Daxing County on the outskirts of Beijing alone, and joined the six monsters. After a week of raising them, his ankle has healed.

Then, Seventh Brother returned to the capital alone, running like parkour on the clusters of triangular glazed tiled houses, using guerrilla and sniper tactics of climbing over eaves and walls, beating down groups of coalition troops, throwing away their helmets and armor, howling, killing and wounding

Quite a few.

However, the building is about to collapse and cannot be supported by a single tree! With tens of thousands of coalition forces, it is only a matter of luck that he did not make a mistake if he did not kill the mighty Seventh Brother. How can one man turn the tide!

Later, the ministers headed by Li Hongzhang, who was still in the DPRK, negotiated and reached an agreement with the leaders of the coalition forces and signed the Xinchou Treaty. Only then did the coalition forces stop massacring the people in the city.

However, the person who played a huge role outside of the negotiations was Sai Jinhua, a prostitute from a brothel in Bada Hutong. People called this strange woman Sai Er Ye.

Sai Jinhua, who was famous in Wanqing during the Republic of China, was born on the ninth day of October in the 11th year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1870)! He died in 1936. He was a man who lived at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century.

A legendary Chinese woman.

Sai Jinhua, who was famous as the minister's wife of Hong Jun, a former champion of the Qing Dynasty, was sent to four European countries. She was also well-known as a prostitute in Shanghai and old Beijing, and she played an effective role in persuading Allied Commander Waldersey to protect old Beijing.

The role of citizens.

But Sai Jinhua married three times in her life, and her fate was miserable!

This Sai Jinhua has a deep relationship with Xuedizi! Her maiden name is Zhao Lingfei, her nickname is Zhao Caiyun, and her nickname is Sanbao. She was born in Yi County, Anhui Province, and later moved to Suzhou with her father. She was sold to the so-called "

She worked as a prostitute on the "Flower Boat", picking up customers and living her life.

Later, forced by life, she moved from place to place, moved to Shanghai, fell into the world again, and then moved to the eight major alleys in Beijing, where she became famous!

Among the many famous prostitutes in the late Qing Dynasty, Sai Jinhua is the most legendary one. There is no dispute about this to this day! In addition to "The Flower of Evil", which is one of the "four most condemned novels in the late Qing Dynasty", there are also many notebooks

and the novel, involving the true story of Sai Jinhua.

Well! Just like "Water Margin" and "Jin Ping Mei" wrote the story about Pan Jinlian's children's shoes. At first glance, he seems to be a romantic person, but in fact he is a poor grassroots disadvantaged person!

In fact, Sai Jinhua is not the only famous prostitute in the Bada Hutong. There are famous prostitutes like Su Sanla, Chen Yuanyuanla, Xiao Fengxian, etc.! Which one is not famous? They all lived in the Bada Hutong one after another.

Like Su Sanqijie, how many older people can't sing? After Chen Yuanyuan was kidnapped by Li Zicheng in the late Ming Dynasty, General Wu Sangui became a beauty in anger! He lured Qing troops into the pass! The Ming Dynasty was destroyed and the Qing Dynasty was established. During the Republic of China

Xiao Fengxian helped General Cai E escape, so General Cai was able to organize the escort and defeat the country-stealing thief Yuan Shikai. They are all influential figures...

They all lived in the Bada Hutongs one after another. Although the times were different, they were all equally famous. They were once known as the four most famous prostitutes in the Bada Hutongs, which is pretty awesome!

However, the only person who played an important role in the defeat of the Eight-Nation Allied Forces in the late Qing Dynasty was Sai Jinhua! It is truly a historical legend among legends!

Waldersee, the late commander-in-chief of the allied forces, joined the Prussian border artillery unit in his early years and participated in the Franco-Prussian War. He later served as the German Chief of General Staff and rose through the ranks, rising to the rank of field marshal.

This foreign devil, Waldersee, was born at the wrong time in Germany and was a strong militant militarist. However, he never had a large-scale war to prove his military capabilities.

This guy later came to China and arrived in Beijing. He commanded the invading army from Tianjin and sent troops from Beijing to invade Shanhaiguan, the first pass in the world, Baoding, the famous city of Zhili, Zhengding, the ancient city, and the territory of Shanxi. He brutally suppressed the Boxers who resisted foreign aggression and massacred the Chinese people. In his later years,

He is also the author of "Memoirs of Waldersee" without any shame,

As an old-school conservative German military officer, Waldersee himself emphasized discipline. However, his name was associated with the Eight-Nation Allied Forces that engaged in plunder and had corrupt discipline, and he will always be remembered by the Chinese people.

At that time, in addition to Li Hongzhang and others trying their best to negotiate, the romantic Waldersee spent most of his time away from the negotiating table having sex in Sai Jinhua's room in the Chunfengdu brothel (Sai ​​Jinhua followed her husband who was the minister of the embassy back then).

Waldersee had already become her sweetheart when her husband Hongjun was on a mission to Germany). Now he and Sai Jinhua were reliving their old dreams, and were dizzy by the pillow wind that smelled of rouge from their "old sweetheart".

He quickly agreed to the Qing authorities to withdraw their troops.

Looking back, it is said that the prodigal Empress Cixi lived a very luxurious life in Xi'an.

The temporary imperial dining room there has various types of dishes including meat dishes, vegetarian dishes, dinner tables, vegetable dishes, porridge tables, tea tables and snack tables. There are usually more than a dozen cooks in each kitchen. Before the meal, the eunuch must present a hundred menus.

There are many kinds of dishes, and then Cixi, the old lady, takes the order slowly.

The old lady Cixi wanted to drink milk, so the Shaanxi authorities rushed to buy six or seven milk-rich cattle to serve as cows to serve her.

When the summer was hot, Cixi drank iced sour plum soup every day, and local officials would send people to Taibai Mountain, more than a hundred miles away, to pull ice for the imperial kitchen every day.

A large green glazed vat was even placed in Cixi's residence to cool down and avoid the summer heat. Every day, people were sent to Weiqu Jiulongtan to fetch clear and sweet mountain spring water, which was much better than today's ordinary mineral water.

Not just a little bit.

Cixi ate well in the temporary palace all day long and was very happy to spend the long boring time listening to plays and eating pearl melon seeds, or listening to books and drinking frozen oolong tea, or watching juggling.

One day, this old lady went out of the palace to Nan Guangji Street, tasted Lao Tong's cured mutton, and ordered Xing Tingwei, who was accompanying her, to write in handwriting: "Nanzhipo" store number! Give it to the store.

In order to welcome the so-called Holy Lord Lafayette, dignitaries from all over the country collected rare treasures and presented them as tribute to Cixi.

The wealthy businessman in Guanzhong, the widow An Wu from Anwu Town, Jingyang County, even dedicated the golden nanmu screen in her family to Cixi, a greedy prodigal woman.

After Cixi saw this shocking screen, she loved it very much. In addition, the widow An Wu also generously donated one hundred thousand taels of silver to help the court fight against the Eight-Power Allied Forces. The Empress Dowager Cixi was so happy that she decided to accept An Wu as a rich man.

The widow is an adopted daughter.

Now, the widow An Wu, who was a wealthy businessman, could be regarded as the most powerful person in the Qing Dynasty. Even Emperor Guangxu had to listen to his mother Cixi.

This precious and exquisite golden nanmu screen was placed in the inner courtyard of the residence of the Empress Dowager Cixi at the North Courtyard.

In addition to having fun in Xi'an, Cixi was also restless on weekdays. She also searched for money in various ways and took the lead in selling public officials. There was a rich man in Tongguan who wanted to buy a position as a member of the Communist Party of China. He first bribed Li Lianying and got through the secret joint. After hearing this, Cixi clearly marked the price.

, I think it needs at least ten thousand taels of silver. Look, it’s black enough.

As a result, what works first and what works below takes effect, and incidents of corruption, fraud, and extortion are springing up like bamboo shoots after a rain.

Li Lianying, the chief eunuch, was the most favored by Cixi. Not only did Cixi sell his official posts through his hands, but when officials from all over the country offered gifts to Cixi, they also had to prepare generous gifts at the same time to bribe Li Lianying, the eunuch who had no balls and temper.

Otherwise, hehe! Then I can't help you - this eunuch who has been without eggs since he was a child will not report it to you at all.

Later! When Cixi left Xi'an, among the belongings she moved, Li Lianying's belongings actually exceeded half of what Cixi had received. Holy shit, this is fucking awesome.

As for the other eunuchs in the palace, they also have to collect bribes for everything. Just for Cixi to eat agar-agar every day, they have to add three hundred taels of silver, otherwise they will not accept it. But if Cixi cannot eat agar-agar, the official who handles it will

There is a risk of beheading.

Due to severe drought for three consecutive years, "the people in Xi'an had plenty of food and food, and they were dying of hunger." In December of that year, the desperate hungry people surrounded the military minister Ronglu and shouted for relief. I am afraid that Cixi may have provoked

They mutinied and reluctantly ordered the establishment of a porridge restaurant.

It was not until September 7, 1901, after the signing of the historically famous "Xin Chou Treaty" that all countries withdrew their troops from Beijing, and then Cixi decided to return to Beijing.

Before leaving, Cixi ordered her subordinates to inform local officials along the way that the road the royal chariot passed must be paved with yellow sand and splashed with clean water! Every sixty miles, a palace should be set up for rest.

.

On October 6th, when Empress Dowager Cixi left Xi'an, she was riding in a majestic eight-carriage sedan with a fleet of three thousand carts, loaded with 700,000 taels of silver and a large amount of gold and silver treasures.

"Thousands of officials, carriages and horses, and tens of thousands of banners were carried along the way. The atmosphere was extremely solemn and impressive."

Most of the tributes were taken away, but the large nanmu screens, palace lanterns, etc. were left in Xi'an. Local officials in the Qing Dynasty specially built the Liangbao Building at the Mafangmen Quangong Exhibition Center to store the artifacts left at that time.

As a tribute, the lintel of the Liangbao Tower is still inlaid with the plaque inscribed by Cixi, "Quiet and contented".

That day! Cixi, the God of Plague, and his party left the South Gate of Xi'an, detoured to the Eight Immortals Palace to burn incense, and then meandered eastward in a mighty way.

Local officials went to Baqiao and Shilipu areas to see off the Holy Spirit. Fragrant flowers and lanterns were set up along the way. The people of Chang'an were even driven outside the south gate and knelt on the ground pitifully.

We arrived in Lintong that night! Xia Liangcai, the county magistrate, quickly picked us up with 2,700 taels of silver for travel expenses. The eunuch Li Lianying sent someone to ask Xia Liangcai for 1,200 taels of palace fees, but Xia Liangcai flatly refused.

As a result, Li Lianying, the eunuch who had no balls but had a temper, became so angry that he secretly instigated the soldiers of the Tiger God Battalion who were leading the way to eat up all the pick-up meals prepared by Lintong County for Cixi and his party.

Not even a scrap is left.

When Cixi and his entourage arrived, it was too late to make dinner. The cunning Li Lianying took the opportunity to slander Cixi, accusing the magistrate of neglecting the emperor and deliberately starving Cixi.

Naturally, Cixi was furious and jumped to show off her power. She immediately ordered the execution of Xia Liangcai, the magistrate of Lintong County, Shaanxi Province. Emperor Guangxu couldn't bear it and interceded. Poor Xia Liangcai was spared death, but was demoted and lost.

The magistrate's seventh-grade black gauze hat.

Therefore, when the officials who were waiting for him along the way heard about it, they were all trembling with fear and anxiety.

She took Emperor Guangxu, the empress, and concubines with her! She returned to Beijing from Xi'an in great glory! Of course, in addition to harvesting a lot of treasures, she also brought back a lot of wretchedness.

A year has passed, but the Qing agents in the capital are still arresting the Boxers, Seventh Brother and others everywhere!
Chapter completed!
