Chapter 308: Remembrance of Prince Gong
Cixi really had a kind of resentment and helplessness in her heart, Liu Jun came to the capital, a great opportunity, but she couldn't do it, how could this make her feel good.
Liu Jun has been a sword stabbing into his heart for the past two years. Help to share, but now, Yi? As soon as he died, the court couldn't find anyone to share it with.
Taking a deep breath, Cixi still didn't want to just give up, even if she couldn't do anything to Liu Jun, but at least she would be ugly for him.
"Go and give an order to the Admiral of Jiumen, if Liu Jun arrives, he must block outside Beijing."
What? Rong Lu's eyes widened, he didn't understand Cixi's intentions, but when he added Cixi's eyes that he wanted to eat people, he didn't dare to speak, but turned around and ran out.
In Beijing City, the news of Prince Gong's death was indeed a great sensation, and the imperial court had already ordered that he would not go to court for three days. It is used to commemorate Prince Gong, and the people of the four cities and nine gates have also shown a sad look in the past few days, and the acrobatics and daughters-in-law on the street have all disappeared, in order to let Prince Gong go all the way.
On the outskirts of Beijing, early spring begins to bring glory to everything around us. Green trees and grass begin to sprout. In the official road, the men and horses who came forward were walking on the road in groups of four, they were wearing gray military uniforms and steel helmets, and in the front, there were two carriages. This is the guard regiment that Liu Jun brought from Lushun and Li Hongzhang's guard.
Liu Jun arrived in Tianjin last night, in order to arrive in Beijing as soon as possible, as soon as he discussed with Li Hongzhang, several people decided to set off early the next morning.
Maybe Liu Jun is for Yi? is also very important, this time, Liu Jun brought Zhong Lin, Zheng Yiqian, Wu Datong, Li He, and the personnel of the Liaodong Headquarters, which can be regarded as complete.
"Old man, you and Yi? The relationship is so good, what did you bring him this time? Liu Jun, who was bored in the carriage, looked at Li Hongzhang, who was sitting opposite, and talked boringly.
Li Hongzhang glanced at Liu Jun, and thought that Liu Jun was really hearing Yi? After death, I will be very sad to go to Beijing, but looking at this face, there is a little sadness.
"Why didn't you tell me you gave Yi? What the? Li Hongzhang blew off his beard angrily.
I? Liu Jun smiled slightly, for burning paper money, it was too vulgar, he smiled slightly, and took out a drawing from his sleeve: "I'll give him this." ”
This thing, it's just a painting, could it be that it burned somewhere, Li Hongzhang took the folded paper from Liu Jun's hand in confusion, and immediately opened it.
"Rabbit cub, tell me honestly, what else are you hiding from me?" Li Hongzhang was angry in his heart, what kind of painting is this, this is the outline of a warship. Looking at this power and tonnage, this Beiyang naval division can't be found, and Japan can't find it.
"No, that's the only thing to hide from you."
Looking at Liu Jun's innocent eyes, Li Hongzhang was skeptical, but he could be regarded as admitting.
"What's it called?" Li Hongzhang shook the drawings in his hand.
"The battleship, which started construction at the same time at the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau and the Dalian Shipyard, is estimated to be launched in June this year. There are two ships in total, I decided, just use your name and Yi, old man? name to command. How? ”
The warships built by Fuzhou and Dalian shipyards were the dreadnought battleships that Liu Jun gave to Pei Yinsen when he was in Fuzhou, and Liaodong was not economically rich at that time, so it was decided to build one, and later, Liaodong opened its door, merchants from all over the world gathered, and Liaodong's taxes soared all of a sudden, and two months after the start of construction in Dalian Shipyard, Liu Jun finally decided again to build one in the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau. Combine two.
Now, it's been more than two years. The two battleships were already in the stage of assembling their guns, and once the guns were assembled, it would be considered over. "Head, the is not good, the guards of Beijing City don't let the Lao Tzu in." At the same time as the sound of horses' hooves came, Zhong Lin's voice was heard.
, Liu Jun frowned, and jumped out of the carriage all of a sudden: "What's the matter." ”
"Head, guards, we are not allowed to enter the city." Zhong Lin wiped the beads of sweat from his face.
Not allowed to enter, Liu Jun looked at the east gate of Beijing that he was about to see in the distance.
Grass and mud horses, Lao Tzu came to pay tribute to Prince Gong, you actually dare not let me in, this is clearly to find fault. Liu Junis was uneven in his heart, and clenched his hands violently.
"Guards, let me go." After Liu Jun finished speaking, he began to turn over and get on his horse, and took the lead in running towards the east gate.
At the east gate, the guards guarding the city of Beijing have picked up their spears and stopped in front of the door.
"Stop." A guard chief wearing a black forbidden army uniform with a saber hanging from his waist immediately stopped Liu Jun, who was the first to take the lead.
"Get out of the way." Liu Jun stopped his horse and looked at the chief guard.
"The emperor has an order, the prince died, so no one is allowed to enter the capital."
There is an order from the emperor, I think this must be Cixi's order, otherwise? died, and there were many people who came to worship by officials from all over the country. What's even more hateful is that there are still people next to them who are entering, and this **** actually said that no one is allowed to enter, which is simply unreasonable.
"Zhong Lin, take their weapons down and take over the east gate." The angry Liu Jun waved his horsewhip violently. pointed to these dozen Qing troops.
Who is the guard regiment, the elite of the Liaodong army, to deal with these vases, it was just a matter of pointing at the guns, and in less than three minutes, the Qing troops guarding the east gate were all taken. "Head, do you want to kill them?" Zhong Lin pulled out the pistol on his waist and pointed at the Qing army who was now kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.
What about them, Liu Jun took a look, these people didn't have any sin in the first place, the reason why they did this was all because of the orders from above, and they could only obey the orders from above.
"Forget it, they're innocent, leave their lives behind."
After Liu Jun finished speaking, he turned around and looked in the distance, where Li Hongzhang and Zheng Yiqian's carriage had already come to the door.
Prince Gong's mansion, Liu Jun went to it once, but that was nearly four years ago. This Beijing city is too big, and I really can't find it after I go in. So Liu Jun smiled slightly, turned around and got into the carriage, and let Li Hongzhang walk in front and lead the way.
When he came to Wangfu Street, Liu Jun heard a loud mourning music from afar. Outside the gate, many sedan chairs are parked there, which is where many officials in the capital come to pay respects.
Who is in charge of greeting guests at the door? The butler, the butler, saw soldiers in gray military uniforms and steel helmets huddled behind two or two carriages.
The housekeeper frowned, to be honest, in this capital, he has seen a lot of people, but he has really never seen a soldier wearing this kind of military uniform.
The carriage stopped, and the old man who came out of it, the butler knew, and his heart ached, and the butler stepped forward.
"Lord Nakado, you're here." The butler burst into tears. He followed Yi? Decades, these feelings are still there.
"It's coming, it's coming." Li Hongzhang responded sadly, and then looked at the housekeeper: "Liaodong commander Liu Jun is also here, you can report it." ”
Liu Jun? The housekeeper was surprised, he knew Liu Jun, and he knew everything about Liu Jun's affairs in Liaodong in the past few years.
Before he could react, he saw a military uniform, wearing a black cloak, followed by a female soldier and several people with the rank of general.
Liaodong's military rank, I know it well, judging from this collar, the lowest military rank is a major general, and these officers, any one who pulls down the imperial court, is a person above the general army. Any person is a person who makes the court hate so much that he can't hate it, and even the former Yi Yi is in a daze.
The person is dead, and the housekeeper can't control his mood, Yi? He clearly understood how he died.
"Dashuai, the prince is wronged." The butler knelt on the ground.
"I know." Liu Jun pulled up the kneeling butler. Take a deep breath.
"Liaodong Marshal Liu Jun, Zhili Governor Li Zhongtang has arrived." A long shout came from outside the door into the worship hall.
