Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 211 Assassination (1)
The next few days were as peaceful as ever, as if Zhao Bingjun had never been to Hangzhou.Guan Xuqing didn't take any action on the surface, and didn't even tell Feng Xianghua and other close officials.Perhaps he hoped that the conversation with Zhao Bingjun was just a strange dream in his nap after dinner.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of War has recently made large-scale transfers in the Northwest region. It is said that it was ordered by the emperor, and I am worried." Feng Xianghua didn't know that all of this was arranged by Guan Xuqing.

Guan Xuqing was walking in the garden when he suddenly stopped and said to Feng Xianghua, "You are well aware of the mobilization of the elite troops of the Qing Dynasty, so you can ignore the misconduct of other troops, right?"

Feng Xianghua hurriedly knelt down on the ground, and replied in a daze: "I have neglected my duty, and I ask the emperor to punish me."

"Hey" Guan Xuqing sighed, and his tone softened. "Xianghua, as the supreme commander of the armed forces of the Qing Dynasty, you shouldn't just focus on the elite troops. Favoring one another may cause you to lose prestige in the entire army, and you will gradually lose control of the entire army. .You know, the elite troops are always only a small part of the whole army."

"What the emperor taught me is that I will remember it in my heart." Feng Xianghua still hasn't figured out what mistake he made.

"Get up." Guan Xuqing pulled Feng Xianghua up, and continued: "Wu Guang in the Northwest has colluded with some divisions that cannot be reused by you and started a disturbance. I have already issued an order to suppress the rebellion."

Guan Xuqing's understatement caused Feng Xianghua, who had just stood up, to fall into panic again.

"What? Wu Guang wants to rebel?"

"Now you know why I want to blame you. Why don't you know about the random transfer of those low-level troops, but you are clear about the transfer of the first to tenth divisions? Don't those troops not be the national defense force of the Qing Dynasty? ? Don’t you, the coach, need to care about it? Why do we always have rebellions when the Qing Dynasty is prosperous and the economy and military are booming? First, the Manchus, and now the Han people. The reasons are all those People don’t get what’s important, so they go on this road of no return. I will reflect on myself, and I will definitely think more about employing people in the future. Should you also reflect on yourself?”

"The ministers are negligent, and they hope the emperor will punish them."

"Zhen..." Guan Xuqing hadn't finished speaking when a rush of rushing voices sounded from outside the wall.

"Escort, escort." Feng Xianghua got up and hurriedly guarded in front of Guan Xuqing, and the surrounding Imperial Forest Army immediately surrounded him and surrounded Guan Xuqing's third and outer third floors and moved towards the main hall.

Guan Xuqing was also puzzled, logically the assassins Zhao Bingjun mentioned shouldn't have arrived so soon.After all, it would take at least seven or eight days to travel from the northwest to Hangzhou before the railway was established.

Besides, with just over 200 people in his area, he dared to attack Hangzhou Mansion, which was defended day and night by more than 5000 elite troops of the First Division of the Qing Dynasty and more than 200 agile Imperial Forest Army?Isn't that courageous too?

"What are you panicking about? Tell Luo Ming to come over." Guan Xuqing didn't panic under the shock, he had to figure out what was going on outside.

"twitter."

Guan Xuqing came to the main hall surrounded by the crowd. There were 30 people guarding the front and rear gates, and five cannons and ten mortars were erected on the roof.It can be said that the main hall where Guan Xuqing was located was completely surrounded.

Not long after, Luo Ming ran in panting.

"My minister sees the emperor."

"What's going on outside? Why are there so many rushing noises?" Guan Xuqing asked straight to the point.

"Returning to the emperor, the reconnaissance squad of the guard regiment found a large number of armed men in the southwest of Hangzhou Mansion. Just as they were about to interrogate, the other party opened fire on us. Fortunately, the number of the other party is not large, and now the situation is under our control." Luo Ming Said slowly.

"Do you know who they are? Go and call Sun Shixiong. Why is there a large number of armed men in Hangzhou under his jurisdiction? Could it be that he distributes guns to the people?" Guan Xuqing cursed, he still didn't believe these reckless people It was the assassin sent by Wu Guang to assassinate him.

"I don't know, but the guards have already surrounded the rebellious party, and within half an hour the leader of the bandit will be captured alive. Then everything will be clear!" Luo Ming replied.

Guan Xuqing didn't answer, and simply closed his eyes, listening quietly to the clamor that resembled a Chinese New Year firecracker outside.When the buzzing sounded, such as when the new year was just after zero o'clock, the density could make people feel creepy indoors, for fear that any bullet without eyes would fly towards them.As time went on, the gunfire gradually became less intense.In the end, there were only a few sporadic shots, and there was not a single gunshot for about one stick of incense.

"Report to the emperor, all the rebels have been arrested. General Luo personally interrogated them. They are all the remnants of Prince Zheng Duanhua. According to the account, they are all servants and disciples of the former Prince Zheng's mansion." Huo Yuanjia, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, said.

"Oh, it turned out to be them. They are some loyal slaves! It's a pity that I can't spare them. The assassination in the downtown area has too bad influence. Let Luo Ming get the people to go to politics after the review is correct as soon as possible." Guan Xuqing said slowly.

"Cha." Huo Yuanjia hurriedly turned and left.

Sure enough, as Guan Xuqing expected, these people were not assassins sent by Wu Guang at all.But after today's trouble, those assassins will definitely be more careful.And Luo Ming will definitely strengthen his protection. If this is the case, it will not be easy to attract those assassins to show up.

Thousands of miles away, a team of 300 to [-] people went eastward along the Yangtze River, turned in Fuling, the hometown of pickled mustard, and then went south along the clear Wujiang River, until it stopped at a small pier called Baitao Town.

"Boss, I heard that there was an accident in Hangzhou. Guangxu took care of those stupid people fighting in their nests." said a big man with a beard.

"I heard, hey! There are two things to say about this matter. Using those Manchus as cannon fodder provided us with some help in the assassination, such as how many troops around Guangxu and how they were distributed. We do know a little bit. But they Nao, Guangxu's vigilance can be improved a lot. If we stay in the Hangzhou Mansion all day, we really can't do anything about him." A scholar who looked gentle said slowly.

"Hey, then shall we go? Or just wait here and strike when Guangxu returns to Beijing?" the bearded man asked again.

"Do you know where Guangxu returned to Beijing? If he continues to go south to Guangzhou and Vietnam, he will return to Tianjin by warship. What should we do?" the scholar said loudly.

"Eh, this..." the bearded man was momentarily at a loss for words, not knowing what to do.

"Now we only have to take one step at a time. Anyway, we will go to Hangzhou first, and we will play by ear."

"Yes."
