Chapter 75: Changbanpo

Liu Yanzhi, who was said to have been in his heart, blushed and stopped talking. He was considered to have approved Teacher Zhou's plan.
After half an hour’s rest, the small team went back on the road. The goal was still Beijing. Liu Yanzhi had walked half a month ago. He was familiar with the road. It was in the sweltering season and it was difficult to walk at noon. They only hurried away in the early morning and evening. More than ten days, arrived in Zhili territory.
Teacher Zhou is familiar with history. Cixi left Beijing on July 21 of the Gengzi Year. He left the city from Xizhimen and went straight to the northwest. He suffered a lot along the way. Many folk tales emerged from this. On the way to the west hunter, I lacked food and clothing, and I eat a wotou as a delicacy. I will have this bite in the future. Of course, this may not be groundless. According to research, Cixi has been surrounded by all kinds of false news. Only then did I know that a catastrophe was imminent, and the journey was very hurried, the capital was in turmoil, and it was difficult to obtain supplies, so it was necessary to prepare some food for the Queen Mother Lafayette.
So they bought a batch of pastries when they traveled to the south of the economy. Chinese pastries consist of flour and sugar. A large amount of sugar can ensure the long-term storage of food, and it will not spoil even in the dog days. In addition, they bought some miscellaneous objects. It is estimated that all will come in handy.
At this time Tianjin has fallen, Tongzhou is also occupied, Beijing's door is wide open, the most tragic defense of Beijing is about to start, wars are flying everywhere, the army is broken everywhere, they inevitably encountered several battles, Zhou Jiarui's three elite One of the entourages was killed and two injured. Seeing that it was useless, Teacher Zhou gave the two wounded a few ounces of silver and sent them to earn a living.
On July 18, the day before Beijing was besieged, Liu Yanzhi and others sneaked into the capital. At this time, Beijing was still in a mess, with unidentified armed men everywhere, and the area of ​​Dongjiaomin Lane was still rumbling. This is a land of bullets. It was as solid as a rock under the siege of thousands of Qing troops and the Boxers.
　　 Due to the uproar of the Boxer Regiment, there are a lot of vacancies in the city. The three of them found a place to hide, hoarding drinking water and dry food. They stayed up day and night, only waiting for the 21st to come.
　　 Two days later, in the early hours of the morning, the defense of Beijing finally began. The sound of artillery was intensive, and sometimes stray bullets fell into the city. The fire blazed from the southeast to the sky, and half of the sky was red.
　　 "It's almost time to set off." Zhou Jiarui took out his pocket watch and looked at it, taking a deep breath.
　　 Liu Yan glanced straight at the reverse of the city wall. There were countless heroes fighting the invading foreign enemies. At this moment, he wanted to stand on the Zhengyang Gate and fight side by side with them, but he couldn't, because this behavior was meaningless.
At this time, Lin Huaiyuan had roughly guessed the plan of the two men, so he was very cooperative. Although he was a civil servant, he often rode horses, and would play in the yard with a sword for a while when he was fine, so Liu Yan straightly found him one. The waist knife is carried on the body, and it can also be carried at the critical moment.
　　 The three of them, dressed in martial arts robes, brought weapons and luggage, rode to the back gate of the imperial city, which is near Di’anmen, to wait.
　　 At around six o'clock in the morning, two horse-drawn carriages panicked out of Di’anmen surrounded by a group of eunuchs and guards, and hurried westward to Xizhimen.
　　 "The Queen Mother and the Emperor are in the car." Zhou Jiarui said.
　　 Lin Huaiyuan's gaze became eager, and subconsciously he wanted to gallop over and kneel to pray for peace. Liu Yan pulled his reins and shook his head. It was obviously not the best time to follow him rashly.
　　 The three of them followed the convoy forward, and the fleeing team had emerged on the street, and no one paid attention to the three knights.
The carriage that Empress Dowager Cixi rode in was just an ordinary folk cart, without the bright yellow color of the royal palace. Not only did she not dare to drive the car, she even put on a blue cloth coat and dressed up as a folk old woman. It was not the first time that Cixi was in a hurry. Fleeing, when Lord Xianfeng was still there, the British and French troops approached the city, and she followed the emperor all the way to Chengde, so she was very experienced.
There are too many people in the palace, plus the princes and ministers in the capital, the relatives of the emperor and the relatives. If you want to take away all of them, the team will have at least a few thousand people. Now the foreign army has entered the Zhengyang Gate. No, so she only brought the emperor, queen, concubine Jin, a few princes, elder brothers, and others. There were not many guards accompanying her. There were only 20 or 30 imperial guards, all equipped with foreign guns. Can resist for a while.
When there were few people, I walked fast and arrived at Xizhimen in a blink of an eye. There was also a war here. The bullets flew around. Cixi raised the curtain of the car and saw a small group of foreign soldiers crawling out of the collapsed city wall. The bayonet was bright and scared. She shivered, and ordered the who drove the car to go quickly.
The besieging Xizhimen was the Japanese army. According to later records, the Japanese army was eager to move closer to the Western civilization. Instead, the military discipline was one of the best among the Eight-Nation Allied Forces. Another American army with a better military discipline was wearing a black shirt. The Japanese soldiers entered the city. The huge Beijing city made them feel dizzy and confused about the direction of the imperial city. An officer asked the people watching the excitement on the side of the road. The people happily pointed to the southeast and told them that the emperor lived there. .
"Thank you for your advice." The Japanese officer who was proficient in Chinese saluted, and was about to direct his men to drive in. Suddenly saw a suspicious convoy on the road, followed by a group of senior Qing officials in colorful python robes. They were all elite Qing soldiers, suddenly suspicious, and ordered their subordinates to fall down and shoot.
The battle broke out suddenly, and the prince Baylor’s ministers fell to the ground in fright. The guards had long been on guard and desperately guarded the queen mother to break through the encirclement. They all used 13-shot quick guns made in Britain. They loaded with a lot of ammunition, and the rate of fire was fast. The shooting squeezed down the Japanese fire.
Empress Dowager Cixi just breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly heard the gunshots. It turned out that the guards fired randomly, and the bullets were finished. The Japanese soldiers raised their heads and fired back. They were well-trained and precise marksmanship. In a blink of an eye, seven or eight guards fell to the ground and one bullet penetrated. Through the big cart, she pierced a hole in the curtain, and she was shocked that Cixi clenched the Buddhist beads tightly and muttered something.
If the majestic empress dowager was captured by a foreigner, how could she have the face to see Lord Xianfeng under Jiuquan? Not only did the first emperor lose his face, but the face of the ancestors and ancestors of the Qing Dynasty would have no place to rest. Cixi couldn't help but think of it. Concubine Zhen, who was ordered to drown in the well an hour ago, used the reason for worrying that Concubine Zhen was captured and degraded, and retribution came in a blink of an eye. Could it be that Concubine Zhen was the slut's ghost at work?
Empress Dowager Cixi was confused and regretted. Suddenly the gunshots on the opposite side weakened again. The carriage took the opportunity to rush through the blockade and ran across Xizhimen. The city of Beijing was too big, the forces of the Eight-Power Allied Forces were too small, and they were facing the threat of street fighting, so no one Concerned about the refugees who fled, they were lucky enough to pass through Xizhimen.
Just now, Liu Yan shot straight. He used the same British-made Martini Henry rifle, but the head was much better than the guards. The first shot was brought down by the Japanese officer, and the gun was not missed. The reduction is his credit.
The three of them will be able to show up grandiosely when the certificate is sent up. They rode their horses to keep up with the team, and the guards accompanying them saw them help out. They were also wearing Wubian robes. There were too many Qing troops in Beijing. Wu Weijun. , Gan Jun, Yi Jun, Eight Banners Green Camp, no one can figure it out, anyway, you can do it by yourself, so you don't reject it when you say hello.
The place of Xizhimen is very familiar to the Empress Dowager Cixi. When you go to the Summer Palace, you always have to pass through this gate. In the past, when passing by, the loess pavement and Yiluan purge, but now I escaped in the rain of bullets. Thinking of the glory of the past, it is really like a world away. .
　　 "Little Plum, are we out of the city?" Cixi asked.
　　 Chief Manager Li Lianying was sitting next to the handlebars. The scene just now scared him to death. At this moment, he was still in shock. Hearing the master's question, he hurriedly replied: "Going back to Lafayette, we are out safely."
　　 "How much did the escorting soldiers and horses break?" Cixi continued to ask, in such a mess outside, it's okay if there are no soldiers around.
　　 Li Lianying glanced back, feeling cold for a while, and replied: "There are more than a dozen people."
　　 "Hurry up." Cixi was even more panicked. If he meets another group of foreign soldiers, he will stop cooking completely.
The handlebar slammed the whip, the carriage speeded up, and it started to rain. Fortunately, this is the imperial road that is often taken, and it is not muddy. 　Those who ride in the car don’t feel anything, but the relatives of the imperial kingdom who are walking behind are just fine. After suffering, he ran for a short while, so tired that he couldn't catch his breath. The lung tube was almost bleeding, but he didn't dare to stop. Lafayette was not waiting for anyone.
The eldest brother Pu Jun is one of the unlucky ones who have no horse to ride. He is only fifteen years old, which is a young and vigorous age. It is only necessary for the Lafayette and the emperor to have a car to ride. Others rode and walked, and he could not swallow. .
　　 "Hey, which army soldier are you, let me ride the horse." Pu Jun pointed at Liu Yan out of breath and shouted.
　　 Liu Yan glared at him without speaking.
　　 "This should be Pu Jun, a trash, don't give him a good face." Zhou Jiarui and Liu Yan went straight together, whispering.
　　 "Are you deaf?" Pu Jun continued yelling, "There is also the one wearing glasses, let your horse come out."
　　 Liu Yan pointed his gun at Pu Jun with one hand, scared him back a few steps, and grabbed a guard: "Guardian!"
The imperial guards ignored him either. Not long ago, Pu Jun took a group of boxers into the palace and clamored to kill Emperor Guangxu. It was the guards desperately blocking him to make him succeed, so the guards didn’t wait to see this kid, just usually. , Anyway, to give a face, right now the soldiers are in turmoil, it's good not to hit him with a black gun, who will give him the lead.
　　 Pu Jun was furious. He didn't know where his strength was, and he caught up with the carriage, pulling the male duck that was characteristic of the juvenile vocalization period and shouted: "Lafayette, Lafayette, there is rebellion."
Empress Dowager Cixi was upset. When she heard Pu Jun shouting to rebel, her heart groaned. It happened that the handlebars tightened the reins and stopped the carriage. She opened the curtain and was about to ask Pu Jun what was going on, but she saw the front Black suppressed a group of boxers and blocked the road. Two mule carts were overturned on the side of the road. The naked female corpses were lying on their backs, and the boxers were wrapping the robbed silks on their bodies.
The Eight-Nation Allied Forces entered Beijing. The Boxers, who were clamoring to help the Qing Dynasty and exterminate the ocean, ran faster than anyone else. They mingled with the defeated Qing soldiers and became soldiers and bandits. This group of bandits was specifically blocked outside the city. Robbing refugees, killing men, and committing women's rape. They just did a big deal and saw the business come to the door. They all looked at the carriage that Cixi was riding in. The greed and cruelty in their eyes were shocked. The old lady whose hands are covered with clouds and hands are covered with rain shivered.
　　 "There are women!" a boxer pointed to the Empress Dowager Cixi in the car and exclaimed excitedly.
When it’s over, at least you can die decently in the hands of foreigners~EbookFREE.me~ In the hands of boxers, the dignity of the Qing Dynasty and the Aixinjueluo family is really not left at all, although Cixi She is a sixty-five-year-old woman, but she is well maintained and looks like a woman in her forties. She is pretty confident about this, but this is now a burden. She would rather die , And do not want to be insulted by the chaos.
　　 The guards rushed to the driver, but in the face of a gang of thousands of rebellious soldiers and the Boxers, their strength is no different from a man's arm.
　　 The big eldest brother Pu Jun was even more indifferent, and stopped yelling, and ran back.
　　 "Yanzhi, the opportunity is here." Zhou Jiarui reminded.
Liu Yan shot straight ahead, and the rifles in his hand kept blaring. The enemy lined up too densely. He could even hit them without aiming. The gangsters were knocked down. Not only did they not retreat, but instead they came up with the crowd, Liu Yan straightened up. After taking the bullets in the rifle, he snatched a red spear that pierced him, and flicked the spear, killing all directions.
Empress Dowager Cixi was not willing to put down the hand that raised the curtain. She saw a scene that could only be seen on the stage. A young white-robed general was armed with a gun and killed seven in and seven out of the enemy's formation, but she saw blood flying. One by one the culprits were picked up in the air by guns, and the young general seemed to be in an uninhabited state, killing corpses all over the field, and howling ghosts and wolves.
　　According to later generations, after the Gengzi Change, Empress Dowager Cixi’s favorite Peking opera was "Changbanpo", and Yang Xiaolou, a famous martial artist, was called into the palace to perform this opera.
