483 Slaughtered the Qing court

Luo Rongguang looked at the letter in Qi Lei's hand, and did not mean to take it, but said coldly: "Is there any disrespectful words to the saint in the letter?" ”

Qi Lei sneered: "You just sent your letter, what is in the letter, and what does it have to do with you?" ”

Luo Rongguang raised his head and said solemnly: "If there are disrespectful words to the saint in the letter, wouldn't it be a humiliation for me to send this letter?" At that time, I Luo someone, it is impossible to redeem death! ”

Qi Lei smiled, "Don't worry, our Flying Emperor will not write useless words in the letter, the words in this letter must be important things, as for disrespect to your saints, hehe, our majesty is too lazy to do that kind of thing." ”

Luo Rongguang took the letter, rode a fast horse, and sent the letter, although there was already a railway from Beijing to Tianjin at this time, Luo Rongguang still liked to ride a horse.

Luo Rongguang rode a fast horse and sent Lin Fei's handwritten letter to the Forbidden City in Beijing, at eight o'clock in the morning, and Emperor Guangxu had just learned that Tianjin had been captured by the Chinese Empire.

Emperor Guangxu was so surprised that his face was bloodless, and he yelled at the eunuch who reported the matter: "How dare the Huaxia Empire bully me like this, Tianjin is the gateway of my capital division, and they actually said that they would occupy it?" ”

What does the reporting eunuch know, he lowered his head and lowered his hand, silent, Emperor Guangxu roared twice, said "go out", the reporting eunuch then slipped out, Emperor Guangxu looked at the eunuchs and palace maids on both sides, and yelled viciously: "Give me out, all go out." ”

The eunuchs and palace maids moved their steps and slipped out quietly, and the eunuchs and palace maids of the Qing Palace walked without a sound, which was the result of years of training with sticks.

At this time, Emperor Guangxu was in his twenties, the same age as Lin Fei, and when he was in his blood, it was this momentum that made him promote the Wuxu Reform, and also made him hear that after Lin Fei brazenly occupied Tianjin City, he was first shocked, and then the shock turned into anger, and a thought welled up in his heart, to beat the Huaxia army out!

Emperor Guangxu grabbed the piece of inkstone on the table, and slammed it on the ground, the inkstone is one of the four famous inkstones in China, countless rich people can't ask for it, the end inkstone used by the Guangxu Emperor is even more valuable, if it is in the era of Lin Fei, no matter which museum it is put in, it is the treasure of the town hall, but in the hands of Emperor Guangxu, it has become a tool to vent anger, and it was shattered.

Emperor Guangxu shouted outside, "Someone is coming", a eunuch who reported the matter walked in, and Emperor Guangxu said loudly: "The Minister of Xuanjun Aircraft is here." ”

The Minister of Military Aircraft is one of the official positions of the Military Aircraft Department, which is a unique institution in the Qing Dynasty, which is responsible for assisting the emperor in handling military affairs. The position of the Military Aircraft Department is very important, so the Minister of Military Aircraft has high powers.

At this time, the Guangxu Emperor had a total of four ministers of military aircraft, one of them, the head of the household, and the two generations of emperors were the same; second, Prince Shiduo; Third, Qian Yingpu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry; Fourth, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites is resolute.

These four people, no matter which one they are, are all famous figures in modern Chinese history, especially Weng Tongxiao, who is the teacher of Emperor Tongzhi and Emperor Guangxu.

At this moment, such four characters are about to get together and deal with Lin Fei together!

The time was not long, the four ministers of military aircraft came, Emperor Guangxu gave the four people a seat, and said in a deep voice: "The Chinese Empire dared to invade Tianjin and threaten the Beijing Division, such a disobedient act, the crime cannot be punished, four Aiqing, who do we send to rebel?" ”

The four of them didn't speak, after all, they knew the combat effectiveness of the Qing soldiers, Lin Fei's Huaxia army had defeated the British and French forces, and the Japanese army could not go more than three rounds under them.

Emperor Guangxu was a little annoyed, slapped the table heavily, and said angrily: "I am a dignified Qing Dynasty, the Heavenly Empire, can't I find a fierce general to crusade against Lin Fei's rebels?" ”

Weng Tongyi, the head of the four military ministers, first said: "The first elite of my Qing Dynasty is the new army trained by Yuan Shikai, but now the new army is far away in Fujian, and it is difficult to solve the fire from afar. ”

"Lin Fei can fly to capture Tianjin, can't we fly to capture Dayu City? Immediately sent a decree to Yuan Shikai, with a deadline of ten days, to conquer Dayu City. ”

"This ...... It is impossible to conquer Dayu City. Weng Tongyi said helplessly.

"So what do we do?"

At this moment, the eunuch who reported the matter suddenly came in, "Long live Qiyu, Luo Rongguang, the chief soldier of Tianjin, sent a handwritten letter from Lin Fei, a rebel in Nanyang." ”

Emperor Guangxu hurriedly said: "Quickly submit it." ”

The eunuch knelt and climbed a few steps, held the letter above his head, and the Minister of Military Aircraft hurriedly went over to take the letter, and presented it to Emperor Guangxu with both hands, Emperor Guangxu directly said "Read", Gang Yi opened the letter, his face changed, and Emperor Guangxu said angrily: "Read what is on the letter." ”

Only then did Gangyi read: "Emperor Guangxu, hello." When everyone heard this, their faces suddenly changed, Lin Fei was just a traitor, and he dared to start with "Hello Emperor Guangxu", without even saying "Hello".

Emperor Guangxu suppressed his anger and signaled Gangyi to continue reading, and Gangyi said: "I am Lin Fei, originally with the national strength of your Qing country, there is no chance of winning the war declared on me, you all rely on Britain, France and Japan, and now the British and French fleets have been annihilated by me, and Japan itself is being slaughtered by me, and your Qing country has no backer." ”

"Now I put forward four conditions for an armistice: first, the release of all pro-Chinese people who were unreasonably arrested and detained by the Qing state; second, to fully restore the trade between China and the Qing Dynasty, and to use Huaxia currency to settle the trade; third, the cession of Hainan Island and the islands of the South China Sea to the Chinese Empire; Fourth, the suzerainty of Korea, Siam, Vietnam, Burma, and the Ryukyus was transferred to the Chinese Empire. ”

"If the Qing State agrees to my four-point armistice conditions, I will immediately withdraw my troops from Tianjin, if not, I will attack the capital and capture you alive......"

"Don't read it!" Emperor Guangxu snatched the letter from Gangyi's hand, tore it to shreds it a few times, threw the shredded paper to the ground, and said angrily: "Lin Fei actually wants to occupy the land of my ancestors, deceive me too much, come here, prepare a bow horse, and I want to drive the expedition in person." ”

Weng Tonggong and the four of them knelt down together, and Prince Shiduo said: "The saint is angry, I have a lot of generals who can conquer the Qing Dynasty, and Luo Rongguang, the general soldier of Tianjin, is one of them. ”

Emperor Guangxu nodded lightly and said, "Okay, this matter will be handed over to Shiduo Aiqing." ”

Shi Duo said "obey the order", and just about to go out, Qian Yingpu suddenly knelt down and climbed a few steps, and said loudly: "Holy three thoughts, don't go to war!" ”

This Qian Yingpu is a famous bold minister in the history of the late Qing Dynasty, at the time of the First Sino-Japanese War, the Manchu Dynasty was the main war, only Qian Yingpu and others were in peace, and dared to speak out, "Qing History Manuscript" recorded that it "made knees to apply Chen, and people dare not speak".

Emperor Guangxu was displeased, and said angrily: "Qian Aiqing, Lin rebelled against my Tianjin, it is already a crime that cannot be punished, and now he has put forward four truce conditions, the first two are nothing, and the last two, cut my land and take my vassals, it is simply to slaughter my Qing Dynasty as a fat pig, is it unbearable?" How can I not be a crusade! ”

In fact, Lin Fei's four-point armistice conditions, the most powerful is the second one, if the Qing State agrees to this article, it means that Lin Fei can exchange the wealth of the Qing State by printing money, and the Qing people will gradually use Lin Fei's banknotes, and gradually, Lin Fei can control the financial lifeline of the Qing State.

It is a pity that Emperor Guangxu did not know anything about modern economy and finance, and the four ministers of military discipline also read the works of Confucius and Mencius, and Xi Bagu was born in the literature of Bagu, and did not understand economics and finance at all.

Qian Yingpu bowed twice, and said: "Saint, how strong the Chinese Empire is, not to mention the total annihilation of the British and French fleets, the Taixi countries are terrified, just say that two years ago, the war in Taiwan, the Japanese lost their armor, and the wolf rushed to the pigs, and I Qing soldiers, in Liaodong and Shandong and the Japanese Invaders, the Japanese invaders fought thousands of miles, no one can stop them, my Qing soldiers will collapse at the touch of a button, and now we go to fight the Chinese army that is stronger than the Japanese Invaders, how can we win?" ”

Emperor Guangxu hesitated, and set his sights on Weng Tongyi and Fortitude, these two people were the most determined main battle faction during the First Sino-Japanese War, and these two people did not dare to fight at this time, after all, the Chinese Empire was a storage that even Britain and France could win!

There was silence in the Heart Cultivation Hall for a while, and none of the five people spoke, but at this moment, suddenly a shrill and loud voice of a eunuch came from outside the door: "Lafayette has arrived!" ”

Don't look at the emperor of the Qing State is Guangxu, but the actual controller is the Empress Dowager Cixi, in the Wuxu reform of the Lin Fei era, the Empress Dowager Cixi even put the Guangxu Emperor under house arrest, and when the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded, the Empress Dowager Cixi was able to kill the Guangxu Emperor's favorite concubine!

Emperor Guangxu and other five people hurriedly knelt on the ground, and the Empress Dowager Cixi walked in slowly surrounded by a large group of palace maids and eunuchs, and there was an old eunuch supporting the Empress Dowager Cixi, the old eunuch was kind and kind, it was the most famous eunuch in the late Qing Dynasty - Li Lianying.

The Empress Dowager Cixi sat down on the chair of the Guangxu Emperor with the support of Li Lianying, and the two palace maids brought a golden foot stove and put it at the feet of the Empress Dowager Cixi.

The Empress Dowager Cixi said in a deep voice: "I heard that Lin Fei sent a letter, why didn't the emperor present the letter to the mourning family?" ”

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Emperor Guangxu's back, and as soon as the letter was delivered, the Empress Dowager Cixi knew the news! Emperor Guangxu hurriedly said: "The queen mother is angry, it was the son's negligence, and someone came to present Lin Yi's letter to the queen mother." ”
