Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

Chapter 493: Coup d’état often happens in a split second

February 17, the 10th year of the Chinese lunar calendar.

Wang Qi's car has arrived in Xianghe County, which is still one day's journey from Beijing.

Since his second term as consul, Wang Qi has made a total of seventeen tours, covering all provinces in China. Almost every provincial and highway council is under Wang Qi's control.

Three days later, it will be time for the third parliamentary election.

So Wang Qi planned to rush back to Beijing from Zhucheng in the next few days.

The news of Wang Qi’s resignation is well known to everyone.

It is obvious that since the past ten years, public opinion has begun to recognize the governance situation of the parliamentary system.

As the date for Wang Qi's resignation approaches, the imperialist party has begun to take private actions.

Wang Qi's ceremonial security was extremely tight. The forward scouts were three miles in front. There were ceremonial guards with swords on the left and right, and a large number of armored soldiers behind them. Ordinary people had no chance of getting close.

However, not getting close does not mean there is no chance.

On a hillside in the distance, among the jungle, five black gun muzzles were slightly adjusting their angles, trying to aim at the sedan in the center of the guard of honor, which Wang Qi called.

"Lean three inches to the left, move five inches up."

"The left muzzle pressed down an inch."

"Second from the right, continue to raise the gunkou 2nd village."

This was the voice of a middle-aged man, majestic, solemn, and unquestionable.

After a few breaths, the car entered the range of the bombardment.

The man was obviously nervous and his tone was trembling.

"Prepare."

bass!
The gas from the flames was a bit pungent, but no one made a sound. The blue firelight kept flickering, about five fingers away from the lead.

"ignition!"

Following the man's order.

Bah, bah, bah! ! !
As the fuse quickly shortened in the light of the fire, the man's eyes became ferocious and excited.

After three breaths,

With the muzzle flash.

Bang bang bang bang bang! ! !
After five loud bangs,

The dark shells from the artillery shot out at extremely high speed, heading towards the guard of honor that was advancing rapidly in the distance. To be more precise, towards Wang Qi's car.

There were several loud bangs!

Under the bombardment of five artillery shells,
Half of the body of the carriage Wang Qi was on had exploded. The horses pulling the carriage broke free and ran away, and the huge carriage fell directly to the ground.

"Enemy attack!!!"

The honor guards reacted immediately, and more than a hundred elite soldiers immediately surrounded Wang Qi's car.

And more guards were on guard outside.

The cavalry patrolled the outermost perimeter,

The armored soldiers are guarding them from the inside.

Then came the cooperation of archers and musketeers!
Almost instantly, the entire escort team formed an iron-walled guard circle. Inside, the doctor accompanying the team had already begun to examine Wang Qi's injury.

"Protect the ruling lord, this is not far from the Xianghe River, reinforcements will be here in a moment!" The guard commander rode his horse in front and commanded his troops.

kill! ! !

After several shellings, a large number of soldiers armed with long knives and crossbows rushed out from the hillsides on both sides in the distance, hidden by the jungle. They looked like they were capable soldiers.

The leader, whom the guard commander obviously knew, immediately waved his sword and cursed: "Damn it, your conscience has been eaten by a dog? How dare you betray me?"

"Kill Wang Qi and support Zhu Cilin on the throne. We will be the princes of the country! Eternal wealth will be at our fingertips!! Kill!!!" Obviously, the person who attacked and killed Wang Qi didn't want to talk nonsense. He ignored the curses of his former colleagues and directly Swing your sword to kill.

For a time, the entire valley was soaked in blood.

"The consul's guard of honor has arrived at Xianghe and will return to Beijing tomorrow. It seems that Yuan Keli and the others are at the end of their rope and have no chance anymore." Many people in Beijing are eagerly waiting for the consul to return to Beijing safely. Smooth transition to the third parliamentary team.

This is the wish of everyone in the world.

"If there was only one Yuan Keli, then there would be no need for the ruling lord to inspect the entire two capitals and thirteen provinces with great fanfare." In the restaurant, a man in brocade clothes lowered his voice: "The key is, those former people hidden in the dark Chao Yi Lao, those imperial supporters, those civil and military ministers with evil intentions, they are the enemies of the parliamentary system! "

"The facts have been proven countless times. No matter who dares to go against the Archon, they will end up in failure. There will be no deviation!"

Nowadays, most of the scholars and common people in the entire city of Beijing heartily support the parliamentary system created by Wang Qi - after all, whoever you can feed will truly support you.

Da da da.
While everyone was discussing, a man on horseback galloped past on the street, with a dusty appearance, as if he had come directly from a very far distance.

"whats the matter?"

“Looks very dusty”

"It can't be the case, Lord Consul, has something happened?"

In the restaurant, everyone suddenly fell silent.

Half an hour later, news of martial law in the capital came.

An hour later, the noon gate of the imperial city, which had not been opened for ten years, suddenly shook. At the same time, the Queen Mother's edict was transcribed in the name of Zhang Yan, announcing the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Zhu Cilin's return to the throne, Ye Xianggao as the chief minister, and Yuan Keli as the chief minister. Pingzhang is responsible for military affairs and coordinating all internal and external matters. The parliament is dissolved and the cabinet is reorganized!
At the same time, it was announced to the world that Wang Qi, Wang Shouxin and Li Qingsong had been attacked and killed in Xianghe.

Subsequently, the third edict was issued to win over Qin Erbao, Lu Xiangsheng and other generals who were governors of the world's troops, and ensured that after they surrendered, they would be given titles and titles, and they would be prosperous and prosperous forever, and they would rest with the country!
For a time, there was an uproar in the capital.

Juxianfang, the executive residence.

Hai Lanzhu had received the news from the city at this moment, but this prairie pearl, who had followed Wang Qi for more than ten years, did not panic at all.

Hai Lanzhu, dressed in rich clothes, stood on the steps with two children, looking at the hundreds of soldiers in the courtyard: "Raising an army for a thousand days, using it for a while, the consul told me on the day he brought you back from Liaodong, these The soldiers look after the home and the hospital to the outside world, but internally they are all old soldiers who have made contributions to the country. They should be treated well. I am a woman and don’t understand what it means to be a service to the country. I only know that my husband is alive and dead now, and you, He is his most trusted subordinate. I, Hai Lanzhu, will ask you today, whether I can trust you? "

"Madam, as long as you give the order, all the more than 700 people in the courtyard will die!" Wang Changxi, the presidential leader, cupped his hands and said: "When the consul comes back, if the mansion is destroyed, then the only ones he will see are our 700 brothers. Yu Ju’s body!”

"Okay! Then I will step in for you today," Hai Lanzhu took a deep breath: "All the guards, servants, and armored soldiers will protect the entire courtyard. There are three hundred people in the front yard, one hundred people in the back yard, and three others. Leave thirty people at each gate! If anyone dares to attack the governor’s residence, kill them immediately!”

"Follow me!!!"

With the safety of the house temporarily protected, Hai Lanzhu brought the two children to the inner house. Zhu Huiyan and Lu Luo were already waiting.

"If the mansion is broken down, each of you will have a dagger to kill yourself. You must not be controlled by others. No matter what, you must not bring shame to the ruler!" Hai Lanzhu handed the two daggers to the two concubines. , and then ordered to the two stout maids behind him: "If the two ladies can't do it, please help me."

"Don't worry, madam!"

After saying that, ignoring the two of them, Hai Lanzhu took the child back to the front hall, holding the last dagger tightly in his hand, sitting in the front hall with a solemn and determined expression.
