Chapter 206 Shijunlu

On May 21st, 4, 4, 1904, the Western calendar, the capital has become a boiling volcano. The price of gold in Beijing has risen to 60 exchanges, and the use of gold and silver has fallen to 30 exchanges, and no one is willing to exchange it. The silver roots in the capital are extremely tight. The price of rice in Beijing rose to 25 taels per stone. In the past ten days, every day, Beijing officials were accused of being rebellious and ordered to correct the law, and a large number of folk "rebellious people" were detained in the vegetable market.

After one o'clock in the afternoon, the scorching sun was so hot that the dogs stuck out their tongues, but many people stood under Lie at the entrance of the vegetable market. People gathered around the entrance of the vegetable market to watch. Hundreds of "anti-party bandits" have been hung on the walls of these four or nine cities in the past half month.

The car of the Ministry of Criminal Justice has arrived, with dozens of large cars. There are men, women, old and old, rebellious officials, and rebellious bandits. Among them, there are also some beggars. These beggars were sentenced by Shuntianfu for counting the inverse words of "no need to pinch, Guangxu is only 30 years".

The convoy has been driving into the official hall set up by the temporary Lushi in the northern half of the alley. The high-sitting officials had some difficulties on their faces. At this time, no one wanted to take on this task. Now, even the children who picked up fruits on the ground knew that Guangxu would never last for 30 years. Seeing the police pushing the prisoners, the officials who were beheaded shouted at the servants.

"What's wrong with you? Why don't you let them come down and get it?"

"Crazy!"

One of them was still wearing an official uniform. Although he was arrested and sent to prison, he was not dismissed by order. As usual, the criminal officer shouted.

"How can you not die if you kill indiscriminately like this?"

The officials who were beheaded were suddenly speechless and at a loss for a moment. The messenger of the prison has been more than once, but he has never seen a person facing execution, and he can still be reasonable, so he is psychologically unprepared. I don't know how to answer, and I can't even find a sentence to cover up my embarrassment, but I blushed and was stunned.

"We are dead! But what is the crime, that is, to ask the emperor to abdication to preserve the bloodline, and to be punished by the great punishment? The old Hanlin raised his head and asked.

"Please ask the beheading officer to understand, so that we can close our eyes to the ground."

"Where is this place?"

The supervisor replied impatiently.

"You are still here to reason!"

"Today, it is said that the captives want to kill me and so on. It is said that as soon as the army arrives, they will kill all the ropes and slaves in the city!"

A young man with a messy scalp among the prisoners shouted. As soon as he shouted a few times, he was buttoned around his neck with a rope by the soldiers behind him, and he was immediately hoarse.

The execution of prisoners originally had a very strict procedure. Although the verdict offenders do not need "three replays" as much as the imperial trial and the autumn judgment, at least they must go through the criminal department of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. They believe that there is no inconvenience in the implementation of the oracle, and there is no need to "refutation", and the "currency" is handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for execution.

It's just that in a chaotic world, everything is simple, and it's convenient to kill people. At this time, only with a shout of the prison, fifty soldiers raised their knives and fell, and fifty heads fell to the ground, and fifty blood columns spewed out one or two feet away.

"Good! Good to kill!"

"Kill the anti-party!"

As the beheaded soldier picked up his bloody head, the onlookers immediately shouted. At this time, another row of prisoners were pushed over, with a "cut", and another fifty heads fell to the ground, the blood splashed three feet, and the ground was just red.

Finally, after the heads of 365 "anti-party bandits" were cut off, the air on the execution ground was filled with the smell of blood. When the cart pulled the headless body to the mass grave outside the city, some soldiers threw their heads on the car, prepared to send them to the wall, and then hung their heads on the wall. Show to the public.

The execution of 365 "bandits" at a time has added a lot of topics to people listening to the news ahead. There is a legend that is quite popular, saying that someone smiled at the executioner when he was on the verge of execution.

"Tw a minute! When I finish a poem.

Then the man recited a poem there.

"Destroy my clothes and rats, and pound your nest in the Ming Dynasty. The orthodoxy has restored the Han family tradition, and the Han Dynasty has reorganized the old mountains and rivers. I'm going back now, and I'm smiling in the white clouds.

It is said that the lingering sound of the word "hehe" has not been broken, and the white blade of the floodlight has been added to the neck.

This poem scared the old and young men in the capital. Everyone knows what the man was talking about when he was dying? These 365 human lives can be exchanged for something, which is just as confusing!

Just when the people in the capital were at a loss in fear and uneasiness, Liubu Jiuqing and Han Zhankedao were notified that the Empress Dowager Cixi and the emperor were summoned in Xiyuan. This is the so-called "Tingqi", commonly known as "big rise". Non-states have the most urgent events, which can't be done. And whenever you call Daqi, you often bear heavy responsibilities and be silent. On the contrary, the little minister can speak freely, because the important minister often has the opportunity to enter. If you have something, it is not difficult to reach it, and calling Daqi is to consult the little minister. Therefore, the court soldiers who usually care about the current situation and are easy to talk about are very excited. They forget the catastrophe outside the front door and hurried to Xiyuan to stand by.

The place of summons is in the east room of the Yiluan Hall of the Empress Dowager Cixi. There are many people in the room, and those who arrive later can only kneel outside the threshold. The two officials sat side by side, and their faces looked pale, especially the Empress Dowager Cixi, who was not very obvious at this time.

"The standing army was defeated from Zhuozhou. Have you all heard the news?"

It was Guangxu who spoke first. Although his voice was low, his tone was very fierce, which was unprecedented for the cowardly emperor for several years.

"The court has three orders and five orders, and the standing army can't take the second half of the step. That's knowing that it was just a battle with Yuan, and it was defeated! The ministers and workers of the Manchu Dynasty fled and rebelled. Think about it yourself. Isn't it worthy of the court and the people?

The prince and the military minister kneeling in front of the imperial case were silent. In a stiff, sultry and suffocating atmosphere, there was a high Beijing accent behind it, breaking the silence.

"The slave just came from King Gong. He said that now the twenty-four flags of the capital have become the flag army and the defense of the capital. In order to protect the safety of the capital, he has now compiled thousands of domestic slaves and wants to ask for an order to force him to expel the non-flag people in the city."

It was Liang Bi who spoke. The Pu Wei he mentioned was a royal family and the direct grandson of Lao Gong Wang Yixin. After Yuan Shikai, he made up thousands of domestic slaves in the capital and said, "With me, the Qing Empire will not perish!"

When Lu Chuanlin, the minister of the Ministry of Household, heard that Dong Fuxiang was going to expel the non-flag people in the city, he couldn't help but get angry. He straightened his waist without thinking, turned back and pointed, and roared harshly.

"Good! This is the first good way to lose people's hearts!"

The court was so rude, and the Empress Dowager Cixi was silent, and no one dared to blame him. In silence, there is a sound outside the threshold.

"I have something to say."

Ministry of War Shangshu Tieliang will stand up and talk about it. Then he played loudly.

"The most urgent thing to do today is to convince the hearts of the envoys of various countries. Only when the foreign envoys subdued the imperial court could the armies of various countries protect the capital and prevent Yuan's army from invading the capital. On the one hand, they trained troops to defend the capital. In addition, the soldiers of Shaanxi, Gansu and Sichuan can be adjusted. The method should be leveled. Step by step, it is not appropriate to act recklessly.

"Now the envoys of all countries have rebelged!"

The Empress Dowager Cixi shook her head and said.

"What you played is impractical."

"The empress dowager's heart has changed. It is nothing more than Chen Yiyu's desire to send personnel to visit the United States, Britain, Germany and France, and send an order of more than 20 million pounds! We have been in the Qing Dynasty for more than 200 years. In recent years, we have made good relations with other countries. Compared with Chen Wei's interests, the countries are good, and the imperial court can sign new contracts with the countries, and they can achieve great things!"

"It's good to sign a new contract. I don't know what Lord Tie said about signing a new contract?"

Qu Hongli, the Minister of Military Aircraft, suddenly stood up and questioned.

"If the British want to touch Tibet, they can cut Tibet to Britain, and Russia wants to use Heilongjiang..."

Then the pieces in Tie Liang's mouth were instantly assigned to various countries by him, followed by a series of interests.

"... Give land to all countries, and let all countries be more important than the Qing Dynasty! You can use your troops to defend the capital, and Yuan can retreat without fighting!"

"A good one is beneficial to the countries. The Qing Dynasty did not die to Chen Yi, but to the foreigners!"

"In this way, the Qing Dynasty will not be lost!"

Tieliang and others stared and retorted.

"Retain the green hills, don't be afraid of no firewood!"

"Tingyi" turned into a quarrel. On the one hand, he quarreled with Xu Yi's interests there. On the other hand, he fought for this as a betrayal of the country. Once the news came out, the whole world would be reversed.

"Foreigners are unreliable. Is it true that people's hearts are also unreliable? When the world is so chaotic, what kind of people are you talking about?

The Empress Dowager Cixi quickly refuted that her words stopped the quarrel in the east room of Yiluan Hall.

"Today is the Qing Dynasty, and it is extremely weak, and what it depends on is the human heart. But now even the hearts of the people have been lost, and what else can we talk about to save the hearts of the people? In a word, everyone is called here today. What we want to discuss is that Yuan Wei followed the standing army and continued to commit crimes against the north. It seems that if he wants to invade the capital, how should we deal with it? If you have any comments, please tell me quickly.

So the fierce proposal was to fight to the death, and the gentle suggestions were negotiated gently. In the midst of various lawsuits, a conclusion was gradually formed, without an old saying: "First courtesy and then soldiers." First, he sent someone to advise Yuan Shikai from Tianjin to make him king and allow him to retreat as soon as possible. If he doesn't listen, the new army of the Beijing flag will block it to the south. In addition, he consulted with the minister of various countries and asked the minister of various countries to intervene to stop Yuan Jun.

"So,"

The Empress Dowager Cixi asked.

"Who will be sent to negotiate with various countries?"

"I recommend Wu Tingfang, the left servant of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

Yi Qian hurriedly kowtowed and said that the reason why he spoke so fast was that he was afraid that it would involve him. Now for him, the most important thing is to hurry up. Before Yuan Shikai hit the capital, he sent his belongings to the new house in the Tianjin Concession, and then deposited his family's money in a foreign bank. He is a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, but he doesn't want to be a loyal ghost of the Qing Dynasty. He has to plan everything early.

Wu Tingfang served as the minister of the Three Kingdoms and sent to the Americas for seven years. She is naturally the most appropriate person to take on this task. The Empress Dowager Cixi immediately agreed.

"In that case, Wu Shilang will be responsible for negotiating with various countries!"

Wu Tingfang, who was entrusted with a heavy responsibility, listened to the will of the empress dowager, but let him kowtow to thank him. When he thanked him, his heart shivered. He didn't expect that Tieliang's advice in the end was really approved.

"People's hearts are lost, why do you talk about people's hearts!"

In this case, why do you still have to do the thing that will be scolded by the eight generations of ancestors? Although he does not want to bear this responsibility in his heart, it is still incumbent on him to lead the will.

After the "big rise" disperse, the military minister and the princes and ministers of Qing, Tieliang, Liangbi and other princes were called again. This time, they specifically discussed their own affairs, and naturally they should avoid outsiders.

At this moment, a deacon minister of the military department suddenly broke in.

"The emperor, the empress dowager, the rebellious army to recover Huang Songyuguan..."

Although Lie said that he would hide across the ridge, the weather was still very hot. A group of flies chased the marching team and flew over the heads of the soldiers covered with sweat and dust. The troops marched by a small river, the river bank was full of willows, and the fields on both sides were vast and weak, which made the soldiers who came out of the mountain feel comfortable. Some.

In the sunset, the sky is a crimson sunset glow. The river is calm, and the surface of the water clearly reflects the reflection of the sunset glow. Several ducks in the river are swimming in the river. On the village on the other side of the river, several bold children look at the passing army, which is a quiet and peaceful farm scene.

The dozens of corpses floating in the river remind people that there has just been a war in the upper reaches of the river. On the other side of the river, several soldiers are searching for the bodies with hooks, which are always buried. When it was about to darken, the army was finally over, and the village once again returned to its previous tranquility.

"B, B..."

After a few shots, a man covered in mud was dragged out of the roadside field by two soldiers.

"Sir, it's this guy who shot!"

This soldier stood between the two soldiers like a tree stump, with anger in his eyes, and his thin face looked a little ferocious. Seven or eight soldiers surrounded the man in the middle, and it could be seen from the worn clothes that did not fit him that he was a defeated soldier.

Kicking the muddy old Mauser on the ground, Li Shaowu put the rifle on his shoulder, put his hands in his pockets, and looked at the man in front of him.

"Did you shoot the gun?"

During the search and reconnaissance, the reconnaissance squad was shot coldly.

"It's uncle, what's wrong!"

The man glared at the rebels in front of him.

"Are you a Han or a Man?"

Li Shaowu asked, but the man only stared at him with sharp eyes and did not say a word. Li Shaowu asked again. At this time, the man said a word.

"Han military flag..."

As soon as he heard these words, Li Shaowu and the soldiers around him suddenly became angry. Li Shaowu grabbed his braids and slapped him a few times one after another. If the man hadn't been caught in the braids, he would have fallen down long ago.

"Dog's bastard!"

I felt a little pain in my palms, and Li Shaowu scolded.

"Damn it, if you are the flag man, I will spare your life. Your mother's willingness to be a dog slave is more hateful than the flag man!"

I'm afraid that the reason why he was so annoyed was that he was so generous when he said that he was the flag of the Han army. When the army was defeated, he even shot cold shots with a gun. Why didn't it be annoying?

Next to him, a soldier with the same annoyance on his face waved a butt and smashed his arm. With his scream, he could still hear the sound of bone breaking. After the man made the scream, when the other arm was broken, he actually bit his lips and didn't make a sound. When the military boots and the butt of the gun fell on him like raindrops, he couldn't hear his screams at all except for the pain.

"You want to be a tough guy, don't you!"

He spat and pulled out the bayonet to kill him. Li Shaowu stared at the man, with a sneer on the corners of his lips.

"Give me his arms and legs, and bring the ink!"

When he raised his head for ink, he threw a meaningful smile at his brothers. After the brothers pressed the man's limbs, he squeezed his chin, pulled out a short dagger from the edge of the military boots, and then engraved the words on the man's face. The man, whose lips were bitten, didn't shout pain, but he hummed in pain. After the four words were engraved, Li Shaowu's face showed some cruel smiles.

"Your officer, ink!"

As soon as he took the ink, Li Shaowu poured the ink on the man's face.

"The dog said! Let you be a Han anni.

After a scolding, Li Shaowu stood up proudly and looked at the miscellaneous piece with blood and ink on his face. At this time, he lay on the ground, and the anger in his eyes seemed to turn into despair.

"Hur, so... he just got it with one shot!"

The soldiers next to

looked at the man and couldn't bear to say that they had not even killed a prisoner along the way, but they looked at the words engraved on his face by the monitor just now. He felt that it was more merciful to kill him than to let him go.

"What do you know!"

Li Shaowu gave a white look, and then looked at the man lying on the ground contemptuously.

"This kind of Han Jun, who is not enough to be a slave, has to let him live. As long as he is alive, as long as everyone sees the words on his face, they will know who he is. He is a Han Jun. I think his age should be twenty-five or twenty-six years old! There must have been a child in the family. After that, his son and daughter looked at his father and knew that his father was Han Jun. I saw what kind of face his mother had..."

Li Shaowu only said that the desperate person lying on the ground muttered there.

"All right, kill me!"

"Kill you..."

Li Shaowu sneered and looked at him contemptuously.

"The army has dispersed. Originally, you could go home, farm your land and do your business, which is no different from other people. If you want to be a slave, you will be the master of you!"

"Let's go, brothers, let his mother, a slave, waste half a day!"

Saying and scolding, Li Shaowu jumped on the horse and ran forward, leaving only such a person with blood and ink that looked like a dead body. At this time, he had become a useless person who could not even commit suicide.

Struggling to stand up, his broken arms twisted, he shook and walked forward, with red blood and black ink mixed on his face, like a fierce ghost. When he walked to a ditch, his voice muttered from time to time.

"Eat the king's salary, relieve your worries..."

(to be honest, I'm very curious about some big deductions. The army rebelled and killed those who don't want to follow. That's called "race killing" or anti-human crimes. This hat is big, and I'm speechless and I'm ashamed of it, uh-huh! Should we lock them up in the house and raise them to show the benevolence and righteousness of the army? In addition, there are still people who have the hat of racial discrimination. I'm curious. Is there any advocacy of racial discrimination in Manjianghongli? Oh! The education of the Qing Dynasty for more than 200 years, that's the... Well, I must learn it...)
