Chapter 205 Withered

Nomu Xidian looked dull, stiffly saluted Shenwei Mitsushin, and turned around and walked out of the ancestral hall.

"Commander, please allow me to arrest him immediately! It was his stupidity that led to your arrest. Kawano Longqiao said shamelessly. He was the culprit who framed Shenwei Mitsutsen, but Shenwei Mitsutomi rescued him from the command knife of Nogi Hiden. Kawano Longqiao flattered Shenwei Guangchen from time to time.

"No!" Shenwei Guangchen looked at his student blankly. The failure of the Japanese army in Tainan was the failure of Nogi, and teaching such a student as Kawano Ryuqiao was the failure of Shino Mitsuomi. Shino Mitsuomi even felt that he was more defeated than Nogi! Because of Kono Ryuhashi, a teacher, he will become a laughing stock of Japan!

There was a gunshot outside the ancestral hall, and Nogi's body fell to the ground.

He ended his life with a pistol.

Noki is the last Japanese military soul defeated by Zhou Charter! He was also the worst loser. He not only lost his life, but also lost his lifelong reputation. After Nogi's death, the Japanese government did not let him go, putting all the responsibility for Taiwan's defeat on him and depriving him of all his honors and ranks. Because he not only lost Taiwan, but also lost the two princes to Zhou Charter! One died in the battle and one was captured. In contrast, Yamagata Youpeng, Dashanyan and Huashan Ziji are much more fortunate. At least they have not been settled by the Japanese government after autumn.

"Mr. Kono, please do something." Shenwei Mitsuson said.

"Please order the commander."

"Please go to Chikan Tower, meet Zhou Charter, the commander of Zhang Army, and tell him that the Japanese Southern Army is willing to negotiate a ceasefire."

"This..." Kono Longqiao was scared into a cold sweat.

"You are the best candidate." Shenwei Guangchen said with a blank face, "You and him are old friends, don't you?"

Kano Longqiao stood up and saluted helplessly: "Yes!"

Hano Longqiao raised his hands, held a white flag, and walked to the Chikan Tower.

An hour later, Tainan City completely ceased and fought fiercely for eight days. Tainan returned to tranquility, and the smoke slowly drifted in the blue sky.

......

Summer Palace, Longevity Mountain.

The Empress Dowager Cixi closed her eyes and leaned against the couch. A maid of honor knelt on her legs and carefully pounded her legs.

In the past two days, Empress Dowager Cixi has had an old problem of leg pain. Her face has become more gloomy, and the atmosphere of the whole Summer Palace has become more horrible.

Two maids of honor have been dragged out and killed. The maid who beat her legs for the Empress Dowager Cixi had tears in her heart, but she did not dare to reveal it at all.

The maids and eunuchs no longer know how to adjust their expressions, with smiles on their faces. The Empress Dowager Buddha will think that they are gloating and sad on their faces. The Empress Dowager Buddha will think that they are crying for the Qing Dynasty! In a word, if you can't be happy or sad, everyone can only look stiff, like walking corpses.

Prince Gong Yi Xin and Duan Jun Wang Zaiyi carefully sat on the opposite chair.

Entering the year of Yi Wei, Yi Xin's back became more ricke, his face became pale, and his breath became weaker and weaker. He felt more and weak. Yi Xin, who had been a slave for the Empress Dowager Buddha all his life, was about to die.

Yi Xin coughed violently and hurriedly covered his mouth with a handkerchief, which was stained with blood. Yi Xin sighed in her heart and hid the handkerchief in her sleeve.

"Prince Gong has not been in good health recently. Prince Gong is the backbone of the court. Take care of yourself." Prince Duan narrowed his eyes and said.

"I feel cold, and I'll be fine in two days. I won't worry about it." Prince Gong said lightly. He knew that if the prince saw the blood stains on his handkerchief, he would be so happy that he couldn't sleep for three days and nights.

The Empress Dowager Cixi opened her eyes and said, "I invited the two princes to come today to discuss family affairs with them, so I didn't let the foreign minister come."

There was a burst of ecstasy in the heart of the prince. The family affairs of the Empress Dowager Buddha were mostly about the throne. In addition to the throne, there were other family affairs that the Empress Dowager Buddha could worry about!

In the second year, the Empress Dowager Buddha became more and more dissatisfied with Emperor Guangxu. The emperor who escaped from death in the year of Jiawu is getting bolder and bolder. A group of people of the Weixin faction gathered around him. In the court, there are Weng Tongyu, Zhang Menghuan and other important ministers of the imperial court. In other places, there are Zhang Zhidong, Liu Kunyi, Huang Zunxian, Chen Baozhen and a large number of feudal officials. Among the people, Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao and others waved their flags and shouted, and the Weixin faction was powerful and swept the whole country.

Even Ronglu and Gangyi have been renewed and short all day long, for fear that they can't keep up with the trend of the times.

In fact, the Empress Dowager Cixi does not oppose the new. She also knew that when the Qing Dynasty came to this point, it would be impossible to change the law.

However, she was annoyed that the Weixin proposed to strengthen the monarchy and launch the top-down Weixin by the Sacred Heart!

Under the slogan of strong monarchy, the Qing school and the foreign affairs faction, which were originally in the court, merged. They coincidentally proposed to promote a comprehensive new change under the pro-government of Emperor Guangxu.

The confluence of Qingliu and foreign affairs broke the balance in the court, which the Empress Dowager Cixi did not want to see. To put it bluntly, the strong monarchy is to let the Empress Dowager Cixi completely withdraw from the political stage, which is absolutely unacceptable to the Empress Dowager Cixi.

In the powerful reform movement, Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao put forward the argument of royal reform without hesitation, which made Emperor Guangxu's confidence suddenly increase.

He began to meet with the Weixins frequently, and his attitude towards the Empress Dowager Cixi became more and more arrogant.

Emperor Guangxu was confused by the huge royalist and innovation movement. He thought he had controlled the overall situation and could challenge the Empress Dowager Cixi.

And the Empress Dowager Cixi's mind is much more sober.

Around Guangxu, there was a large group of Qingliu foreign ministers, and there was also a Kang saint who waved the flag and shouted, which can be said to be a sharp increase in strength, while the important ministers that Empress Dowager Cixi relied on. In particular, Zaiyi lost the Beiyang Marine Division, and Ronglu lost a new army in a town. This greatly weakened Cixi's strength.

The Empress Dowager Cixi was deeply worried that it was difficult to sleep and eat.

Zaiyi suppressed the ecstasy and said, "Empress dowager, I don't know what family it is. Do you need the empress dowager to bother so much?"

The Empress Dowager Cixi glanced at Zaiyi and made a trace of imperceptible sarcasm at the corners of her mouth. She knew exactly what Zaiyi was thinking. What he thought was also the thought of the Empress Dowager Cixi, and until now, this idea still lingered in her mind. It's just that Zaiyi is too anxious! That idea can't be moved until the overall situation is stabilized!

"Zai Yi, I think Minxiu is not young, and it's time to get married. A few days ago, Yuan Keding made such a fuss and broke up a good marriage. The Yuan family is so ignorant that our royal family can't beg him Yuan Shikai. The Empress Dowager Cixi sighed, "My family thought, how about we get married with Zhou Charter?"

The Empress Dowager Cixi did not mention Pu Yan, and Zaiyi was very disappointed. She was unprepared for the topic of Minxiu and had to open her mouth: "This... Zhou Charter seems to have an original match, this matter..."

Zaiyi looked at Cixi, and his brain rotated quickly, but he didn't understand what Cixi was going to do? At the beginning, when Zhou Charter was still in North Korea, Zaiyi went to propose marriage to Zhou Charter for Minxiu, but Zhou Charter already had an original wife, and Tangtang and Shugege could not marry the Zhou family as concubines, which was harmful to the royal face. Because of this, the Empress Dowager Cixi scolded Zai. But now, Cixi suddenly mentioned this matter again. Zai Yi couldn't understand what Cixi really thought and dared not answer rashly.

"What about Prince Gong's opinion?" Cixi turned to Yi Xin.

Yi Xin's heart was full of despair.

His body is getting worse day by day, just like this Qing Dynasty! He is Cixi's brother-in-law. Over the years, he has been a slave for Cixi. It can be said that without him, there would be no Cixi today.

However, when he was about to go, he became more and more doubtful whether the original choice was correct!

This woman who is extremely greedy for power has brought the Qing Dynasty to what it is today.

Both the Qing Dynasty know that Zhou Charter has an original wife, and his original wife is still the second-grade wife of the imperial court! The royal Gege, the emperor's sister and the niece of the Empress Dowager Buddha, married to the Zhou family and could only be a concubine for this foreign minister. This sentence actually came from the mouth of the most noble Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty!

This is a royal shame, but also a national tragedy!

This shows that Cixi is unable to control the overall situation, which also shows that the court can no longer control Zhou Charter. It depends on Zhou Charter's face! The noble royal began to flatter Han foreign ministers!

The Qing Dynasty, like his body, has reached the time when the oil has dried up.

This is the same as the emperor of the Han Dynasty who married the princess and the Xiongnu and relatives, it is a humiliation under the enemy's bayonet! The emperor of the Han Dynasty could also marry a fake princess, but the court of the Qing Dynasty wanted a real man to marry Zhou Charter and be a concubine!

However, in addition to marrying Gege, Yi Xin can't think of any better way.

The Zhou Charter has defeated the Japanese Southern Army, and Japan has begun armistice negotiations with Zhou Charter instead of the imperial court of the Qing Dynasty. This means that Japan recognizes the independence of the Zhou Charter!

Zhang Jun is the strongest army since the founding of the Qing Dynasty! They are even stronger than the Eight Banners Army created by Nurhachi! This army is in the hands of the Han people. Three hundred years ago, the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs and overthrew the rule of the Han people. In 300 years, the Han people always dreamed of expelling and fighting and restoring the unification of China!

Now, because of Zhang Jun, the Han people see hope!

With the Zhou Charter of Taiwan and North Korea, it has formed a tendency to attack the Qing Dynasty.

As long as Zhou Charter cheers up, the Han people in the world will rise.

The weak Qing Dynasty will collapse immediately!
