Shen Wanqing said: "But Liu Yi is still very attached to me, and she should be able to come to us in the future." ”

Lin Yuan nodded lightly, and Shen Wanqing said, "Let's go to the underground base, where you are needed to dominate the overall situation." ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Actually, it doesn't matter if I go or not, our troops have already begun to attack, do you still need me to personally command the troops fighting the Qing court?" ”

The two of them came to the underground headquarters while talking, Zhang Hua took Lin Yuan to yesterday's house, and said to Lin Yuan: "Let me first tell you about the battle situation and all aspects of the situation, first of all, the seventh division of Zhangjiakou, yesterday an hour after your attack order was issued, Zhangjiakou was conquered, and all the defenders surrendered, but there was a Qing army that blew up the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway when it withdrew to Beijing." ”

When Lin Yuan heard this, he immediately asked, "Is the damage serious?" When can it be repaired? ”

Zhang Hua said: "This battle report does not say that it is estimated that the damage is relatively serious, and the Seventh Division is now approaching Beijing by road and cross-country transportation. ”

Lin Yuan then asked, "What about the third division of Shanhaiguan?" ”

Zhang Hua said: "Because we rebelled against Xiong Tiesheng, Shanhaiguan took it without a single shot, but the railway was also damaged, and they were also coming by road, but a strange thing happened in Shanhaiguan, that is: the whereabouts of the guard Xiong Tiesheng are unknown!" ”

Lin Yuan frowned and said, "It's strange, where can Xiong Tiesheng go?" ”

Zhang Hua said: "The intelligence says that they are actively searching. ”

Lin Yuan asked, "Then what is the attitude of the Qing court towards our attack?" Are they going to defend the city or abandon it? ”

Zhang Hua frowned and said, "It's neither stubborn nor abandoned." ”

Lin Yuan asked in surprise, "What does this mean?" ”

Zhang Hua said: "If you defend to the death, you must strengthen the city wall, mobilize soldiers and horses, the eight banners and green battalions in the capital, although there is no combat effectiveness, but they must also be mobilized, but now there is no mobilization at all, Yuan Shikai's troops are still stationed outside the capital, there is no defensive movement." ”

Lin Yuan said: "Sure enough, it's not like sticking, so it's not like abandoning?" ”

Zhang Hua said: "Beijing is the imperial city of the Qing court, if you want to abandon it, the emperor and the Empress Dowager Cixi will flee, last night to attack the order I will send people to the various gates of Beijing to guard, Emperor Guangxu and the Empress Dowager Cixi want to escape, it is impossible to be like the fleeing people, a carriage with a burden, gold and silver fine and soft rolls and left, they will definitely have a lot of honor guards, absolutely can not escape our eyes." ”

Lin Yuan frowned tightly and said, "If you don't keep it or give up, what does the Qing court want to do?" Zhang Hua shook his head and was silent, and Lin Yuan then asked, "What about the capital, is there any situation?" Do the people know that my troops are going to enter the capital? ”

Zhang Hua said: "I know the way, but they didn't run away on a large scale, and they didn't panic, because your personal prestige is still very high. ”

Lin Yuan asked, "What about the high-ranking officials?" ”

Zhang Hua said: "Before sending troops, the political commissar Han specially selected the slogan for the troops to march, that is, 'Qingjun side', you know what 'Qingjun side' means, right? It's that there are traitors around the emperor, and we have to get rid of them, and many of the high-ranking officials are afraid and are preparing to flee. ”

Lin Yuan said: "It's a good thing that the functional organs of the Qing court will not be able to operate if they escape, but what about the shootout last night?" What did the Qing court say? What do the common people say? ”

Zhang Hua said: "The Qing court did not have any official explanation, and the common people's discussion was speculation that the gunfire last night was sent by your troops when they rescued you. ”

Lin Yuan said: "Didn't the Qing court post a notice to arrest me?" ”

Zhang Hua said: "It's really not, the Qing court didn't do anything related to you, as if you didn't exist at all!" ”

Lin Yuan thought for a long time and didn't come up with a reason, and said slowly: "That's not right! The Qing court wanted to kill me last night, and they knew that I had escaped from the underground waters, so they should arrest me all over the city! ”

Zhang Hua shrugged his shoulders and said, "Strange, right? ”

At this time, Shen Wanqing, who had been listening to the side, spoke: "I have come up with a possible explanation?" ”

Lin Yuan immediately said, "Let's talk about it!" ”

Shen Wanqing said: "Your matter must pass through the highest level of the Qing court, and now they have no reaction to your matter, maybe it is because Emperor Guangxu and Empress Dowager Cixi are no longer in the capital, so no one is in command." ”

Zhang Hua said categorically: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Our people have been watching from the gates of Beijing, how can we not know how to escape from Guangxu and Cixi! ”

Lin Yuan said: "Lao Zhang, you have always thought that Emperor Guangxu would evacuate the capital after we launched a full-scale attack, I don't know if you have thought about it, Emperor Guangxu and Empress Dowager Cixi, it is very likely that they had already withdrawn from the capital last night, before they ordered to kill me!" ”

Zhang Hua said: "That's not right, how can no one know about such a big scene?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "In our time, when the Eight-Nation Alliance attacked Beijing, Emperor Guangxu and Empress Dowager Cixi fled to Xi'an, Shaanxi in a hurry, and that time they left in a hurry, so that they were embarrassed on the road! So they may also flee in a hurry this time, and our inherent impression may not be very accurate, just like we also thought that the Empress Dowager Cixi could not have deceived Guan'er before, but the fact is: Guan'er was really deceived, so it is also possible that we were deceived this time! ”

Zhang Hua hesitated, and Lin Yuan said: "Actually, it's very simple to know if Emperor Guangxu is not in the capital, and the Internal Affairs Office has to come out to buy things, right?" Wouldn't it be nice to ask them? ”

Zhang Hua said: "Our informant has not sent back the information, I will ask for it later." ”

Lin Yuan said: "Actually, we have a simpler way, didn't Emperor Guangxu go to the early dynasty today?" ”

Zhang Hua shook his head and said, "We can't know the Tao anymore, because today is a routine rest, and there is no early dynasty." ”

Lin Yuan said: "Then we can only rely on informants, let your informants inquire more." Zhang Hua agreed, and at this time, someone came to Lin Yuan: "The knife you want has been found." ”

Lin Yuan asked, "Found it so soon?" ”

The subordinate said: "The knife is so conspicuous that the prison guards noticed it at a glance, and we discussed it with a cell boss named Ma Laohei, and he gave us the knife." ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "It stands to reason that Hojo Liuyi is against the water, Xiao Dezhang should bring her knife back to the Qing court, why don't you ignore it and leave?" Lin Yuan asked his subordinates to bring the knife to him, and his subordinates quickly sent it, Lin Yuan took out a long knife and looked at it carefully, only to see that the word 'Liu Yi' was engraved on it, and there was a gap left by himself when he cut the iron rope on the blade, and he knew that this was Liu Yi's saber.

Shen Wanqing said: "Let's go and return the knife to Liu Yi now, right?" ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "Now is not the time, wait for a while." ”

Shen Wanqing smiled: "In my opinion, now is the right time!" ”
