Since they were entering Beijing under an imperial order, they should not stop them. In fact, both Wang Wenshao and Luo Rongguang understood what was going on when they entered Beijing under an imperial order. However, since it was an imperial edict, they could not fault their actions no matter how they said it. This kind of muddy water involving the dispute between emperor and empress should be hidden as far away as possible. Didn't you see that even Li Hongzhang escaped?
When he thought of this, Wang Wenshao couldn't help but secretly cursed this old guy for being so shameless. People like Yuan Shikai must have informed him in advance, so he ran to Shanghai like a rage, and then stayed here to support him.
Under the nervous gazes of everyone on the Dagu fort, all the destroyers and landing ships filed into the Haihe River. Finally, even Yang Feng's black ship entered the river mouth. Only the Marauder, which had the deepest draft, was left in the outer sea and continued to watch with its cannons.
"According to the destiny of heaven, the emperor issued an edict saying that the Japanese armies have been marching thousands of miles to attack the Japanese capital. They have made outstanding achievements. I am very pleased. I specially order them to come to the capital to observe the military power. I admire this! Your Majesty, do you need to read the imperial edict? "Yang Feng said calmly after reading the imperial edict to Wang Wenshao and Luo Rongguang who were specifically called "Nautilus".
Wang Wenshao thought to himself, is there any need to look at it? It must be true. It was all a partnership between you and the emperor. Naturally, there is no way it is false. It’s just that the truth in wealth and wealth is true. The risk of daring to play such a thing is too high. It's a little bit too much. There's no point in being complacent now. Only when you're successful can you be proud of yourself.
"Master Yang is joking, how can the imperial edict be false?" he said with a smile.
"In this case, I will not be polite to you two. If Mr. Wang returns to Tianjin, we might as well talk to each other on the same boat." Yang Feng said.
"I have something else to do. Mr. Yang, please excuse me!" Wang Wenshao said quickly. If you go back to Tianjin with this guy, it will be nothing but shit or shit in your crotch. This guy and Luo Rongguang got off as fast as possible. After getting off the ship, they watched their fleet sail directly to Tianjin.
"Do I need to report to the court?" Luo Rongguang asked.
"Wait until they arrive in Tianjin before sending the telegram." Wang Wenshao said, and Luo Rongguang immediately nodded understandingly. In fact, because of the miscalculation of the ship's speed, the telegram was not sent to Beijing until Yang Feng completed the landing in Tianjin, and waited until Cixi had it. Yang Feng, who was riding in a bulletproof car, had already set off from Tianjin.
Although spring has just begun at this time, it is still very easy for a small five-hundred-ton destroyer and a shallow-draft landing ship to sail directly to the city of Tianjin. After disembarking, no one dares to stop them with the sign of returning to Beijing with an order. Besides, they have all passed. The entrance to Dagu means that all the procedures are in place, but there is nothing to stop it. Ten thousand can be said to be the most powerful and well-equipped elites in China in this era. They are rushing towards Beijing. Beside them, dozens of trucks are dragging artillery and artillery. , rolling through the sky with yellow dust, roaring past, and coupled with the cavalry riding horses purchased from Tianjin, Yang Feng also found a little bit of the feeling of cars rattling and horses racing.
After Cixi received the telegram, she was completely stunned. It wasn't that she didn't expect Yang Feng to be so bold, but she didn't expect that her little dog was so bold. What are you going to do, force you to have a baby? You thought someone was supporting you. , Mom, there’s nothing I can do to you?
"Go, call the emperor!" She suppressed her anger and said to Li Lianying.
"In addition, the Ai family's decree was sent to the Tongzhou camp to intercept them on the spot. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed. Tell them that the decree in the hands of these rebels is false. The emperor has never sent a decree to summon Japanese troops to Beijing. Yang Feng and others intend to rebel. Really? They thought that 10,000 people could conquer Beijing, but the Ai family still didn’t believe that tens of thousands of Eight Banners elites could not stop a bunch of Han slaves." She said with a sneer.
As a result, Li Lianying went out to look around and found that the emperor was gone. No one knew where the emperor was. Of course, the little dog would not be stupid enough to wait for his biological father to call him to cut him. Since he got into trouble, he would naturally hide first.
When Yang Feng's army arrived in Beijing, he probably wouldn't need to be beaten if he showed up again. In fact, he was hiding in Guiziliu's house at this time. Guiziliu had a deep grudge against Cixi, so why would he do it now that he had such a good opportunity for revenge?
Don't take advantage of it.
Besides, he knew better than anyone else the fighting power of the nearly 100,000 Eight Banners troops around Beijing at this time. If Yang Feng could not defeat the walls of Beijing, he would not believe it even to death. In this case, it meant that Guangxu's resistance this time could be
Success. Then why not bet on the sure winner.
His judgment on the combat effectiveness of the Banner Army was very accurate. In fact, at this time, Yang Feng was driving away Cixi's tens of thousands of Eight Banners elites in Langfang. Of course, the opponent did not even have five thousand. Eating empty pay was now the main task of the Eight Banners officers.
The source of income. Even the commander-in-chief here doesn’t know how many soldiers there are in the Tongzhou Camp with an establishment of 50,000 people. Anyway, he usually goes where he wants to go. When there is a review at the top, he comes over to deal with it. If he really can’t come over, he has to spend money.
Hire some temporary workers or something, but this time I was short of time and didn’t have time to hire many people. The reason why I dare to come out now is mainly because of the courage of Lafayette. As a result, this courage was revealed when I saw the forest.
When the bayonet was struck, it immediately disappeared into thin air.
At first, they had the courage to set up a formation, but then an unknown official came over and asked Yang Feng and others to surrender immediately. Yuan Shikai probably knew this guy, so he kindly stepped forward with the imperial edict to give him a chance. As a result,
The other party did not appreciate it, and angrily rebuked Yuan Shikai, a loyal and good man, who had ignored the court's favor for many generations and actually did such a treasonous and unethical thing. He quickly stepped back from the brink. The Queen Mother, remembering your ancestors' devotion to the country, might show mercy outside the law and grant him mercy.
You're a dog's life.
Yuan Shikai was rebuked by his righteousness, and faced him speechlessly. Finally, he came back dejected, and then couldn't help but sigh: "These kind words can't persuade the damn ghost, so don't waste your time, Marshal."
Yang Feng was still preparing to set up artillery. After all, there were many opponents, and many of them even had firearms. Therefore, Li Yuncong, Song Qing and others decided to use the method of dealing with the Japanese army on the battlefield, first blasting them with artillery.
It would be best to add poison gas bombs, then set up Maxim cover, and then the infantry charges again. Unfortunately, the cannons have not even been set up, and the enemy has already started running away.
Speaking of those Eight Banners soldiers who usually walked around and smoked cigarettes, it was commendable that they could stand for so long in the face of so many enemies. In addition, Yang Feng's performance also made them feel lucky, but when they saw that they started to fight
The bomb was fired. I still don’t understand what will happen next. If I don’t run, why are I waiting here to be bombarded?
"You bastards, stop!" The general roared in grief and anger while waving his saber. He didn't know whether it was because he hadn't been riding for a long time or because the horse had a sudden convulsion. In short, he suddenly stood up and threw him directly under the horse.
Then he was overwhelmed by the fleeing soldiers behind him.
"Damn, what are these things? You don't have to be so playful." Jiang Guiti looked at the authentic Chinese soldiers in the distance like ducks being chased by dogs as if they were stupid, with a face filled with grief and indignation.
He said, he was getting ready to hide with the artillery.
This scene made Yang Feng stupid. He knew that the Eight Banners' combat effectiveness was sluggish at this time, but it wasn't that bad, right? This was a direct negative.
"Commander, let alone Tongzhou Camp, Fengtai Camp, Jianrui Camp, and even Shenji Camp, which was built the latest, all have this kind of virtue. The last time Shenji Camp went out to exercise, they all produced horses.
It was a joke that someone fell off a horse before he could run away. Later I found out that he was a tofu seller, hired just to make up the balance." Yuan Shikai said with a smile on the side that this guy made this investment after careful calculation, because
He knew that Yang Feng and his ten thousand people were just playing for fun when they attacked Beijing, so he dared to risk beheading and hang out with him.
"Have a night's rest and start attacking Beijing tomorrow." Yang Feng said speechlessly. In this case, there was no need for him to be in a hurry and let Cixi fight with the two little dogs for a while. Anyway, with the combat power of the Banner Army,
Even if a hundred thousand troops are piled up in Beijing, there won't be enough for one charge here. As for the city wall of Beijing, it's just a waste of a truck.
When the news that the Tongzhou camp's 50,000-strong army was completely wiped out in one battle reached Beijing, Cixi was really dumbfounded this time. Although there were elites like the Shenji Battalion and the Jianrui Battalion, and there were still thieves in the hands of the nine admirals.
There are various military guard camps around the Forbidden City, and there are even imperial guards in the palace. But if the Tongzhou camp is like this, I guess the others will not be much better.
Although she is very smart, this kind of smartness refers to internal fighting in the palace, officialdom and so on. She is really not used to this kind of opponent who does not play according to the routine, but she still calms down as quickly as possible.
Now the first thing is to find the emperor, and the second thing is to prepare the guards of Beijing City.
This old woman is worthy of a generation of demon queens. She immediately made the best response. It was very simple. It was to withdraw all the troops outside the city into the city of Beijing. There was a solid city wall to rely on, and tens of thousands of people lay on it and opened fire.
You can always hold on to the artillery fire. It will be easier to deal with it after you find the puppy. You just force him to write another imperial edict. Even if you can't find it, you can still hold on for a while. The mutiny like Yang Feng's fear is that it will drag on for a long time.
Once they are unable to enter the city of Beijing, the morale of the army will be dispersed within a few days, and then they will be calmed down by some kind words and the generals will be given promotions and titles, and they will be divided and disintegrated.
She thinks that there are still things that no one can do in these games. She needs to get over the current difficulty first. Even if she can give Yang Feng some benefits, isn't a businessman just looking for money? The reason why he listens to the little dog is nothing more than this.
The imperial court did not allow him to attack Japan, which would only cut off the way to make a fortune. Cixi still saw this very clearly. If it didn't work, just let him continue to attack Japan. Those broken tombs were not as important as his own power.
Just like this, in a panic, the Qing troops outside the city withdrew into the city as quickly as possible, then closed all the city gates and went up to the city wall to prepare for a last-ditch battle.
