There were already corpses all over the outside of the headquarters, and Liu Heizi rushed out with the rest of his brothers.Hundreds of brothers from nine mountains and eighteen villages all rushed out of the door, and kept pulling the trigger in front of the gun.However, the gun array outside the headquarters was too dense, with a total of 10,000 people, three layers inside and three layers outside, surrounding a circle.Liu Heizi didn't take a few steps with the people, but he was shot by a dense number of bullets, and his body was already beaten into meat sauce.Zhang Zhidong looked at the killing coldly, and his heart felt like a needle prick.These people were all excellent commanders of the Han Kwantung New Army, and he wanted to keep them all from the bottom of his heart, but they were not the same as him.After this mutiny, the implication was widespread, and all the people in the army who were involved in the Nine Mountains and Eighteen Villages at the beginning will be in danger for less than half a year, and I am afraid that they will not recover.But he had to kill these people, because if they didn't surrender, they would definitely rebel.The crackdown continued until dusk, and martial law was imposed both outside and inside the city.The Han Kwantung New Army underwent a major purge from top to bottom, and all the commanders were thoroughly investigated as long as they were involved in the Nine Mountains and Eighteen Villages.Either they were killed, they chose to surrender, and they were all put in military prisons.Zhang Zhidong's cronies and generals quickly reported the situation, and these middle-level generals were all promoted to high-level generals because of this ransacking."
Commander, I've searched all over the barracks for more than ten miles, but there is still no news of Zhang Chunping" Duan Shaohong, the new commander of the Left Army, clenched his fists and reported to Zhang Zhidong, just in the chaos, he obviously surrounded the headquarters seamlessly, but he didn't find Zhang Chunping.This kid is like evaporating from the world, he can't see anyone alive or dead."
Continue to send troops to search, whether you live or die, you must find him" Zhang Zhidong waved his hand tiredly, and continued to write a chapter for Cixi without raising his head.In the recital, the reason for this incident is attributed to Zhang Chunsheng's assassination.Because the Han Kwantung New Army was originally dissatisfied with the imperial court's delay in paying silver.As a result, their commander was assassinated, which led to unrest in the hearts of the people and led to the mutiny.He took the initiative to take responsibility and asked the court to reduce its responsibility and investigate.After Cixi received Zhang Zhidong's recital, she calmed down from her panic.There were gunshots outside the city, and rumors spread in the city, all rumors that the Huaxing army had entered the Kanto.The dignitaries packed up their belongings and prepared to set off for the north, but the government posted a notice of peace after dawn.The people inside the city were asked not to believe the rumors, and the gunfire was caused by military exercises outside the city.If anyone dares to spread rumors again, the government will severely punish them.Cixi thought about everything before and after, she was also an extremely smart woman, and she could see at a glance that this matter was not so simple.The reason for Zhang Chunsheng's assassination has not yet been investigated, and it is difficult to make a decision now.But Cixi already had three objects of suspicion in her heart, either the Huaxing army, or the Manchu nobles, or Zhang Zhidong.But Zhang Zhidong was quickly ruled out, and he did this purely to harm others and himself, and hurt himself.Zhang Chunsheng was already loyal to him, and even if he wanted to rectify the Han Kwantung New Army, he didn't need to kill Zhang Chunsheng to carry it out.In the end, there were only two possibilities left, one was the meticulous work of the Huaxing army, and the other was the Manchu nobles.The motive of the Huaxing army was very simple, they heard the news that the Qing court was about to raid Shanhaiguan, and they would definitely send someone to stop it.Assassinating the commander was also the most effective method, and as soon as Zhang Chunsheng died, the plan was all disrupted.As for the motive of the Manchu nobles, it was obviously to compete for the right to speak in the imperial court and oppose her reuse of the Han people, creating a situation of relative power between the two powers.Most importantly, another willingness for the mutiny was to postpone military salaries.This matter is also handled by the imperial cabinet, and it stands to reason that there is a shortage of military salaries, so all the payments can be postponed.But other armies have been sent, and the Han Kwantung New Army is left unsent, which is indeed very suspicious.Of course, she did not doubt the fact that she sent troops to Shanhaiguan to loot ammunition.This matter was completely suggested by her, and the imperial cabinet was pushing the boat with the flow, and there was no flaw in it.But it's not unrelated, starting from the raid on Shanhaiguan, followed by the postponement of military salaries, and the assassination of Zhang Chunsheng is completely one move after another, and every step is extremely dangerous.The more Cixi thought about it, the more wrong it became, but there was no evidence of it now.She couldn't make a decision easily, so she could only put the matter aside for the time being.But for this outright conspiracy, she didn't fight back at all.On the second day of the mutiny, the imperial court issued a decree.Zhang Zhidong was not only not demoted, but because of his meritorious service in counterinsurgency, he was promoted to a loyal and brave uncle, awarded a yellow coat, and was rewarded in Yuanmen three days later.As soon as the holy decree was made, Zhang Zhidong was grateful, and wept bitterly and shouted Long live the emperor and the queen mother.Prince Yiyun and Prince Qing were depressed to death, looked at Zhang Zhidong coldly, and secretly guessed in their hearts that this little sister-in-law must have a leg with Zhang Zhidong, otherwise there would not have been such a big rebellion and he would be crowned an official and knighted.Only Prince Gong Yixin looked calm, with a smile on his face all the time, and stepped forward to congratulate Zhang Zhidong with a fist after he dispersed."
Tell me, you all tell me, what does this queen mother mean When such a big mutiny happened, she even handed over the military power to Zhang Zhidong" Prince Gong's Mansion, Yi Xin, Yi Xun and Yi Xuan entered the study, and Yi Xuan complained angrily as soon as he closed the door."
Who said no, what does the Queen Mother want to do, just give all the rivers and mountains of our Qing Dynasty to the Han people like this," Prince Yiyun also complained loudly and angrily.In the room, only Prince Yixin had a calm face, sitting on the main seat, just chuckling and looking at the two brothers, picking up the tea bowl and taking a light sip."
Sixth brother, you should say something, what should we do now, this well-designed good game, but I made a wedding dress for Zhang Zhidong" Prince Yi Xun frowned and asked Yi Xin, his face full of unconvinced."
Yes, Sixth Brother.This is obviously already a dead end, I didn't expect Zhang Zhidong to strike first, abandon the pawn to protect the handsome, we really underestimate him" Prince Qing Yixuan frowned, wanting to hear what else Yixin had to do."
Don't worry, sit down and have a cup of tea to calm down.Those who do great things should be happy and angry, what kind of big things can you do one by one" Prince Yixin pointed to the tea on the table, signaling the two of them to be quiet and drink some tea to extinguish the fire.The two of them slapped the table and sighed in frustration, picked up the tea bowl and took a big sip.The noise is noisy, the scolding is also scolding, and the voice is almost hoarse."
Do you think that if the Queen Mother didn't have a little means, she would be able to listen to the government for so many years, and no one objected to the death of the first emperor, leaving eight auxiliary ministers to restrain the Queen Mother, but she was not easily taken down.Zaiyuan, Duanhua, Jingshou, Sushun, that was not the leading minister at that time, and you all know the result.In fact, when I think about it, it seems that it has nothing to do with us, but we can't get rid of it.The Queen Mother has no evidence, and she can't help us.But she will definitely be strict with us, this time Zhang Zhidong does not fall but rises, it must be her warning to us" Yixin analyzed lightly, and admired this first love more and more in her heart.The little girl who loved to cry at the beginning, but now she is becoming more and more vicious."
Sixth brother, we really lost this game of chess" Prince Yiyun and Prince Qing Yixuan locked their eyebrows unwillingly at the same time."
Don't throw in the towel until the last minute.Although Zhang Zhidong won by surprise, he offended a large number of Zhang Chunsheng's descendants.They will definitely put this account on Zhang Zhidong's body, and it is difficult to guarantee that no one will take the risk of assassinating him Three days later, the imperial court will also hold a canonization ceremony for Zhang Zhidong outside the gate.When the time comes, there will be a sea of officials, and the public security problem must be very poor, you must order the people and horses of the patrol camp to maintain the law and order and protect the safety of Lord Zhang, do you two understand what this king means" Prince Gong smiled faintly with the tea bowl, and the meaning could not be clearer.That is, the dark one can't do it, and the one who comes to the light will directly assassinate Zhang Zhidong, and then blame Zhang Chunsheng's remaining party."
It's still the sixth brother who is smart, the younger brother will definitely not let you down" Prince Alcohol and Prince Qing showed a hint of a treacherous smile again and again, they are all very smart people, and naturally know what Prince Alcohol means.Prince Alcohol said that the gate is the outer door of the Zhangzhidong Mansion, in order to show the virtue, the court usually holds a canonization ceremony outside the gate when the king is knighted.At that time, the position of the Son of Heaven will be set up in the north of the outer gate of Zhangzhidong's mansion, 9545 meters away.The royal yellow coat was placed on it, and the eunuch read the holy decree on behalf of the Son of Heaven.In ancient times, nine was the number of poles, the number was nine, and five was in the middle, and ninety-five symbolized the supreme place where the Son of Heaven was located.The night before the Yuanmen was rewarded, Zhang Zhidong burned incense and bathed, tidied up his clothes, and went to the military camp outside the city under the escort of his own soldiers.Zhang Chunsheng's coffin was placed outside the door of the headquarters, and the huge training ground was full of neatly arranged soldiers.All of them held torches, and the night was as bright as the day.Zhang Zhidong has asked Cixi to put Zhang Chunsheng into the ground for peace, so as to set the military heart of the Han Kwantung Army.Cixi remembered Zhang Chunsheng's early contribution to pacifying the Northeast, agreed to this request, and decreed that Zhang Chunsheng be crowned as the Marquis of Righteousness, second only to Li Hongzhang.However, Cixi was not merciless to the generals related to the rebellion, and ordered Zhang Zhidong to behead all of them for public display as an example.Zhang Zhidong asked Zhang Chunsheng's coffin to be opened, and looked at Zhang Chunsheng sadly through the light of the torch.He would never have imagined that in just a few days, the two of them would be separated by yin and yang."
Don't ask to be born on the same day in the same year, but to die in the same year and month as a brother, the eldest brother will definitely find out the murderer behind the scenes for you, and personally slash this thief for you, in order to pay tribute to your soul in the sky, you can go on the road with peace of mind" The oath of righteousness between the two still echoed in Zhang Zhidong's ears, Zhang Zhidong was choked and held the coffin to finish the eulogy, his eyes were already full of tears
