Clinder died, poor Clinde, was directly chopped into 'meat' mud by the angry Boxers and Gan Jun, and in the end, he was cut down and even his own mother couldn't recognize it, and the thirty soldiers around him shot back at first, but after being rushed to the side by the Boxers, the rifles in their hands were directly cut in two by the broadswords in the hands of the Boxers, and they went to see their God with Clinde.

The next day, the news came back to the Summer Palace, and Cixi, who was having dinner, was stunned when she heard that the German minister Klinder and thirty soldiers from various countries had been cut into 'meat' mud, and he thought that it was death, and it was only the death of some missionaries or insignificant people, but he didn't expect that even such a person as the German minister would be killed!

Cixi really didn't know whether to cry or laugh at this time.

Zaiyi on the side said: "Lafayette, the matter has come to this, we can only resist hard, the slave is sure of Lafayette, immediately declare war on the powers, and at the same time issue an order to the governors of the provinces, ordering them to immediately lead the army to the north, enter the king of Jingqin, as long as the army of the major governors arrives, with the thousands of people from the powers, we will use people to pile up, and we will also beat them down!" ”

Cixi hesitated: "Zai Yi, are you sure that our Boxer Rebellion and the training of troops in various places will be able to defeat the coalition forces of various countries?" ”

Zai Yi replied: "Lafayette, our Qing Dynasty has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, not to mention that in recent years, Huguang, Shandong, Liangjiang and other places have trained new troops, all of which have been equipped with artillery and rifles, and the combined forces of their powers are only 20,000 at most, and our troops are ten times or even dozens of times that of him, are you still afraid of them, we will win this battle!" ”

Cixi said in a deep voice: "Okay, immediately send an edict and order the governors of all provinces to lead the main forces of the provinces to King Qin, and we will fight to the death with the foreign devils, and the net will be broken!" ”

When Cixi issued the decree to declare war, Dong'jiao' Minxiang had also become a pot of porridge, and Clint was chopped into 'meat' puree!

As soon as the news came back to the legation, all the ministers were angry, although occasionally a few ministers may not be on good terms with Clinder, but now Clinde, as a member of the legation, has been cut into the mud, and he may face such a fate in the future.

KΓΆllner roared madly, go to war, go to war immediately! We must urge the coalition forces of all countries to step up the war, the Qing people who are 'bastards'! Lao Tzu must make them pay the price of blood!

The ministers of other countries were also 'excited' and roared one after another!

The whole situation has reached the most tense moment.

With the final, the emperor of the Great Qing State declared war and was electrified, and the war finally broke out in full force.

The allied forces of the countries in Tianjin began to take trains or ships to Beijing City, and the Qing army and the Boxers also made a slight resistance in the Langfang area, and after defeating the advance of the coalition army, they were immediately beaten down by the main force of the coalition army, after all, the weapons of these people are more than a little bit different from the coalition army!

In the end, the news of the fall of Tianjin Wei reached Cixi's ears, and Cixi began to panic at this time, and finally convened all the ministers in the Qianqing Palace to start discussions, but at this time, Xu Yongyi and other ministers who advocated peace were all dead and degraded, and there were few people in the court who could use them.

While Cixi was struggling, a telegram arrived in the palace.

Yu Shan, the deputy minister of the Prime Minister's Affairs Department, held a telegram in his hand and hurriedly entered the court.

As soon as he entered the court, he knelt down on the main hall and said: "Lafayette, start playing Lafayette, Anhui Li Hongzhang has news." ”

Cixi perked up and asked, "How is it?" When did Quan Weng come to the capital? ”

Yushan replied: "Lafayette, Li Bingzhao, the governor of Anhui, sent an urgent telegram, and the telegram said that Li Hongzhang shirked his old age and illness and refused to respond to ......the edict."

"What?"

Cixi stood up from her seat, this time was the most critical moment for the imperial court, and it was also when a person with good prestige, qualifications, and talents like Li Hongzhang was needed to help, Li Hongzhang actually picked a son, without Li Hongzhang's strategy, how to deal with the army of the great powers?

Cixi roared angrily: "No, why did this Li Hongzhang leave it alone at this time?" I must invite Li Hongzhang out of the mountain, no matter what conditions he proposes! Even if you tie him up, you have to tie him up to Beijing for me! Sent an edict to Li Bingzhao again, let him go to Li Hongzhang's mansion in person, take the mourning family to announce the decree, give Li Hongzhang the title of Ningguo Marquis, directly subordinate to the governor, and concurrently serve as the minister of military aircraft, and take charge of all foreign affairs in Daqing, and give me an edict immediately! ”

Cixi really regretted it at this time, she knew that she would not drive Li Hongzhang out of the court if she said anything today, but now she knows that she is thinking about a good general in a national disaster, and she has burned her eyebrows and hairs, and then she will temporarily hold Buddha's feet, how can there be such a good thing?

Cixi was still not at ease, and said: "Send the decree again, order Yuan Shikai to immediately lead the new army of the six towns, and immediately go north to King Qin, and summon Liu Kunyi and Zhang Zhi's 'hole' to immediately send troops to King Qin!" ”

Today's Cixi has a feeling of being in a hurry to go to the doctor.

While Cixi was discussing with the important ministers, another celebrant eunuch broke in and said, "Qi Qi Lafayette, Dong Fuxiang, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, outside the 'door', asks to see Lafayette." ”

Cixi was shocked in her heart, wasn't Dong Fuxiang in Tianjin, why did he suddenly run to Beijing to see the driver?

"Dong Fuxiang?"

Cixi asked.

The eunuch replied: "Yes, Lafayette, Lord Dong looks dusty, not even well-dressed, and there are still some blood stains on his body......

Cixi hurriedly shouted: "Hurry, immediately announce Dong Fuxiang to come in!" ”

In just a moment, Dong Fuxiang rushed into the main hall, fell directly to the ground, and shouted urgently: "Lafayette, Weichen Dong Fuxiang is driving!" ”

Cixi shouted: "Dong Fuxiang, why do you look like this? Aren't you guarding in Tianjin? Why did you suddenly come to Beijing? ”

Dong Fuxiang took a breath and replied: "Qi Song Lafayette, Britain, France and Germany have contacted more than a dozen countries, gathered more than 20 warships in Tianjin, launched a fierce offensive at Dagukou, and in just over a day, they captured the Dagukou Fort, and the defender Luo Rongguang was killed in battle, and almost all of the hundreds of officers and soldiers in the department died in Dagukou. ”

"What? Dagukou has fallen! ”

The important ministers in the court were all shocked, so fast, it had just been a day since the war was declared, and Dagukou was lost like this!

Dong Fuxiang continued: "Lafayette, after the coalition fleet occupied Dagukou, then thousands of coalition troops landed, and there were more than 10,000 ** teams in the follow-up, landing from Dagukou, and launched a fierce attack on Tianjin. "Ahh Cixi was so frightened that she sat on the chair again, this is terrible, even Tianjin City was lost!
