Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 213 Assassination (3)
In recent years, Hangzhou has developed rapidly. The superior geographical location has enabled the people of this ancient city to live a life without worrying about food and clothing.The support for the imperial court and the emperor is deeper than that of other places. In addition, the continuous boasting in local newspapers and Daqing Daily has made the local people's worship of the emperor reach a blind level.

In a tavern in a deep alley, three or five big men were drinking and chatting around the table.

"I said, a few days ago, who took the guts of a leopard to attack the Hangzhou mansion and assassinate the current emperor?" said a burly man.

"God knows, didn't the emperor's imperial guards easily solve it! How can these little thieves compete with the real man?"

The big man took a big sip of wine and said: "Hey, it's a pity that I can't see the emperor. I heard that the current emperor is only 26 years old, but he looks like a 62-year-old old man. He can see everything clearly, and he can't help foreigners. Playing around with applause. It's a fight for our Qing Dynasty!"

"That's right, even the Germans sent the princess over to our emperor to be his concubine." The young man who was speaking suddenly lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Brother, do you know that the emperor is going to Lingyin Jitian tomorrow. Have a chance to see the holy face!"

While speaking, the big man's eyes brightened and he said excitedly: "Really? Then if we go to Lingyin tomorrow, can we see the emperor? Is your news accurate, let me make a trip in vain, and be careful not to beat you up."

"That's right, my brother-in-law's cousin is working in the government office of Hangzhou, and he has gone to Feilai Peak today." The young man shouted anxiously.

It may be that they drank too much, and the voices of several people chatting became louder and louder.On a wine table five meters away from them, four big men in black clothes and black trousers sat without saying a word. Unknowingly, they looked like sculptures from a distance, and all four of them wore fake braids. top hat.

At that time, both reserve soldiers and professional soldiers who served in the military had to cut their braids, but most of the retired soldiers and transferred reserve soldiers became alternatives without braids after returning to their hometowns. At that time, it was against their parents if they did not keep their braids. disrespectful.So this kind of top hat with fake braids became popular overnight.

It is not difficult to see that these four people are not simple reserve soldiers who have changed jobs.Sitting still for several years in the barracks is impossible to do anyway!The four of them didn't get up and leave until the opposite table was full and left.

The four men in black who appeared in the tavern did not attract anyone's attention at all, because even the naval officers who are serving in Hangzhou would have a drink or two when the warship was docked at the pier, so I met a few men in the tavern Being a soldier is not surprising at all.

This morning, the sky in Hangzhou was covered with black clouds, and a shower was about to come.However, when the shower did not come, the air pressure was low and the temperature was high, which made people feel extremely uncomfortable in breathing.

"Your Majesty, the weather seems to be raining, why don't we go another day?" Feng Xianghua seemed to be making a last effort.

"I don't bully the people, and of course I can't bully the sky. Since ancient times, the emperors always keep their promises. How come you want to break your promises when you come to me?" Guan Xuqing said with a smile.

"I'm confused, everything is ready, please drive up the emperor." Feng Xianghua handed Guan Xuqing a golden robe and said.

Guan Xuqing put on his robe and left the bedroom quickly.The "Top Ten Masters of the Forbidden Palace", Feng Xianghua, Luo Ming and others followed closely beside him.

Feng Xianghua today is even more nervous than he was when he led a battalion of troops to attack the French artillery regiment. He tightly held the sword that Zuo Zongtang gave him at the waist with his right hand, and held the Mauser pistol behind his back with his left hand. looking around.

There were dozens of people sitting around Wu Guang's general's mansion, and dozens of pairs of eyes were fixed on the map of Hangzhou on the table.

"Report, Commander. Commander Liu reports that the messengers sent by Commander Jiang Chaozong were intercepted in Taiyuan and Hebei." A messenger said that he handed over two unopened letters.

Wu Guang raised his head and looked away from the map. After receiving the letter, he waved at the soldier and opened the letter casually.The correspondent then turned and left!But Wu Guang furrowed his brows more and more.

"Touch." Wu Guang slapped the table with his palm, and said angrily, "Huh, Jiang Chaozong doesn't know how to flatter. He actually played tricks on me, obedient to us on the surface, and secretly wanted to report to Guangxu. See what I do Get rid of his Sixteenth Division together!"

"General Wu, calm down. Jiang Chaozong is a warrior, so there is nothing to worry about. The most important thing at the moment is to get rid of Guangxu first. According to reports from Hangzhou, Guangxu is going to Lingyin Jitian today. The terrain there is complicated, so it is a good opportunity!" "Zhu Yintao stood up and said.

"En, that's right. Tell Lin Feng to set up an ambush at Feilai Peak and swear to take Guangxu's head." Wu Guang gritted his teeth.

Guangxu's ability to be in charge of the government is due to the fact that he led the troops to guard the capital when he was the general soldier in Tianjin, so that he could spread the message across the country overnight.But after Guangxu came to power, not only could he not be promoted, but he was targeted everywhere.That's why he took the risk to vote for another name owner, because here he can get everything he wants.And all of this seems to him now to be very smooth, and the plan is very perfect. Once Guangxu dies, the Northwest can follow the example of the United States and become independent from then on.

On the other side, Guan Xuqing got into the sedan chair after coming out of Hangzhou Mansion.On the left and right are still the personal guards of the "Ten Masters of the Forbidden Palace", in front are the first company and the second company of the first battalion of the guard regiment, and the third company is in the rear.In the middle are more than 200 Royal Forest Army, and other troops are already guarding the highest point around Lingyin!
Along the way, thousands of people shouted the slogan "Long live the emperor, long live the Qing Dynasty" on both sides of the street. What's more, in order to see the holy face, there were fierce physical frictions with the yamen officials on the street.

Some of the stronger ones really broke through the barriers of the guards.But as soon as he walked into the side of the road, he was directly captured by the well-trained Imperial Forest Army.Among the common people, there are many secret agents of the Qing Dynasty that Feng Xianghua doesn't even know. Their skills and marksmanship may not be inferior to Guan Xuqing's Yulin Army, all of which were arranged by Zhao Bingjun.

Although it was noisy, there was no incident along the way.But like Feng Xianghua, Luo Ming and others, their hearts are like a bright mirror, and the real danger has not yet arrived.

"Boom"

A loud noise startled the entire marching team, and everyone subconsciously pulled the latch.Aiming in all directions, when everyone held their breath and desperately searched for the point of impact.In an instant, the pouring rain fell down in an instant, and everyone put away their guns.

"It turned out to be thunder. I was taken aback!" Luo Ming said as he rode on the horse and put the gun back into the holster.
