Red Alert 1895

Chapter 542: very close to Zhili

Popular recommendation:,,,,,,,

"Hurry up and march to Tianjin." Hu Wei, chief of staff of the Northern Expedition Army, temporarily replaced Wang Guorui and ordered.

More than 100,000 troops have just crossed the Yellow River, and immediately rushed forward to Tianjin. Because Tianjin is already on the verge of collapse, and it may fall at any time. It is necessary to go to Tianjin as soon as possible and hold Tianjin, so as to provide a barrier for the capital behind. In any case, the Manchu Qing government was the capital of China after all. Once the Manchu Qing government left the capital, it would be reduced to a local government in the hearts of the people of the whole country. Once a central government leaves the capital, it can easily be downgraded to a local government. After all, Beijing is an ancient capital with a very high status. Once the central court left the capital, how much prestige did they have? This is also the reason why many imperial courts are unwilling to move the capital when they are in danger. Once the capital is moved, the world will be disrupted.

So once Beijing is breached by foreigners, the fig leaf of the Manchu Qing will be gone, and their central government will be worth much by then. Once the Manchu Qing lost the value of the central government, Wang Guorui's plan to coerce the emperor to order the princes would inevitably abort. So first of all, we must ensure that Beijing will not be breached by foreigners. This is the most important thing.

"General, the imperial court asked us to stop these Taiwanese troops. Do we want to stop them?" A green battalion soldier in Zhili asked.

But the general of the green battalion immediately said: "Idiot, why stop? You haven't seen the big banner above them. Don't the Chinese fight the Chinese? If we fight, then don't we want to be sinners of the nation? Are we the same as them?" Under the banner of going to Tianjin to fight against the foreign devils, how can we stop them casually? Once we stop them casually, then we will definitely be wiped out by them next. We don’t have the old and the young in our family, we are for the court If we work hard, they will not give us pensions at that time, and it will even be shameful! They are going to protect the country for us. If we stop them, not only will they not gain any good reputation, but they will become traitors and traitors. Such things as traitors and traitors, We can't do it!"

"Well, then we still don't fight!"

Taiwan's army has already approached Beizhili. That is, the place of Hebei Province in later generations. This Zhili is in the charge of the governor of Zhili, and the governor of Zhili is one of the highest-ranking governors in the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Even in the late Qing Dynasty, the governor of Zhili and the Minister of Beiyang was already the center of national power, even compared to the Military Aircraft Department. Not too bad. The vast majority of ministers of military aircraft are not as powerful as the governor of Zhili. Now that they have officially entered Beizhili, it means that they can fight against foreigners in the future and control the Manchu Qing government in the capital.

The Manchu Qing government hastily ordered the new army and green battalion from all over the country to stop the army in Taiwan, but at this time, how dare the green battalion and new army of the Qing Dynasty dare to stop it casually. Because the green camp will not say whether it can beat it, if it dies by then, it will be a traitor and traitor. The banner of Taiwan is to go to Tianjin to fight against foreigners. If you stop them yourself, wouldn't you be a traitor and a traitor? This kind of thing can't be done, once you do it, not only will the Qing Dynasty fall, not only will there be no compensation, but you will also be reviled after you die. So at this time, the green battalion and the new army also chose to be neutral. Anyway, the affairs of the court have nothing to do with them. Who will be in power at that time, then they just need to make a living in peace and stability. As long as they give themselves a way to survive, and the people of their own country rule themselves, then they are all willing to submit. As for whether the emperor of this country is surnamed Wang or Aixinjueluo. Then they don't want to care about it!

However, this news is not good for the princes in the capital.

"Bastard, Yuan Shikai, actually betrayed Aijia? Aijia shouldn't have trusted you, a capricious villain back then. You can betray the Reform Party, and now you have betrayed Aijia too!" Empress Dowager Cixi said angrily.

The Empress Dowager Cixi watched the Taiwanese army land from Shandong, and ended up fighting from Shandong along the way. Yuan Shikai signed a statement agreement on his own initiative, and then declared that he would break away from Dongnan Mutual Protection, and was willing to follow Wang Guorui to King Jingqin. This obviously means that Yuan Shikai is willing to get together with Wang Guorui. Cixi was immediately furious, because this Yuan Shikai not only failed to take on the responsibility of preventing the Taiwan army from entering the capital, but instead turned to Wang Guorui, which was simply too irritating.

"Queen Mother. This time, the Beiyang Navy betrayed the imperial court. Lu Wenjing, the chief soldier of the Beiyang Navy, led the Beiyang Navy to seek refuge in Taiwan. Even such a huge coastal defense would not be effective. In this way, Taiwan's hundreds of thousands of troops from Weihaiwei to Taiwan. The Philippine landed with one shot and one bullet, and then they divided into two groups and went all the way to the Yellow River defense line. I don't know what method they used to force Lord Yuan's men to let go of the Yellow River defense line. The other route was led by Taiwan Governor Wang Guorui himself. Many elite soldiers surrounded Jinan, and then forced Yuan Shikai to sign the statement. Now more than 100,000 troops have marched towards Zhili, and they will reach Beijing and Tianjin in a few days." Li Lianying said.

"Bastard. Didn't the generals along the way follow Aijia's order to stop the Taiwan army?" Cixi said angrily.

"No, Taiwan held high the banner of 'Chinese people will not fight Chinese people' all the way, and many generals were wary, so they didn't dare to fight." Li Lianying said.

Cixi suddenly stood up and said angrily; "They only have China in their eyes. Is there still a Qing Dynasty?"

"The Queen Mother speaks carefully!" Li Lianying couldn't help saying.

Cixi's face turned blue. What he said just now showed everyone that China and the "Qing Dynasty" are not one. According to the vast majority of Chinese people, even most of the Manchu bannermen at the bottom, they also believe that China and the "Great Qing" are one. But Xinzai Cixi actually said this, which means that she never treats China and the Qing Dynasty as the same thing in her heart. They just want to keep the Qing Dynasty, not China. And these words are very hurtful. If Cixi's words are spread, it will probably chill everyone very much.

"Xiao Lizi, send an order to move the capital!" said Empress Dowager Cixi.

"Queen, move the capital?" Li Lianying's expression changed.

Anyone with a little bit of political savvy also knows that moving the capital means that the authority of the central government of the country will drop a lot. If it is not done well, it will even be reduced from a central government to a local government. The significance of the capital is not only a city, but also not a geographical coordinate, but a benchmark of the centripetal force of the people. As long as the capital is still there, the centripetal force of the people of this country will also be there. But once the capital is easily moved, the country will shift to the core of the heart, which is very dangerous. Moving the capital does not mean that the capital can be moved if the capital is moved. If the game is not played well, the country may also be disintegrated. During the Tang Dynasty, although Tang Gaozong and Wu Zetian had already gone to Luoyang to work, they did not announce the relocation of the capital at all. This was because they did not want to risk the loss of the country's support. Ming Chengzu Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing. It took many years to move the capital step by step like ants. From the early preparations of the first year of Yongle to the death of Emperor Yongle, and then three emperors changed for more than 20 years to make the Ming Dynasty Successfully moved the capital.

But this Empress Dowager Cixi actually moved the capital when she said that she would move the capital. This is killing herself!

"That's right, that means moving the capital. If we don't move the capital again, then that traitor Wang Guorui will come to the capital, and we will all be prisoners. At that time, our Qing Dynasty will be usurped by him. So at this time, we must Move the capital quickly so that we can be safe," Cixi said.

"Queen Mother, if the capital is moved, the country will be torn apart. Many governors of the imperial court have also implemented mutual protection in the southeast. If the imperial court moves the capital, then the southeast half of the country will be lost. At that time, the world will be over. .

"Hmph, even if I finish the Qing Dynasty, the Ai family can't just give it up to Wang Guorui!" The Empress Dowager Cixi said through gritted teeth.

Li Lianying wanted to say something else, but Cixi immediately said: "Little Li, don't you listen to Aijia's words, and you want to betray Aijia together, don't you?"

"Empress Dowager, Xiao Li dare not!" Li Lianying immediately said ~lightnovelpub.net~ Other feudal officials might be able to ignore Empress Dowager Cixi, but Li Lianying absolutely did not dare, so he immediately expressed his loyalty. As an eunuch, if they lose the trust of the nobles in the palace, they will die without a place to bury them.

"Okay, send an order to the court to prepare to move the capital. The capital must be moved within a few days, to Xi'an! The Ai family is not afraid of foreigners, but Wang Guorui is the one who is afraid. If foreigners come, nothing will happen to the Ai family , but when Wang Guorui came, the Qing Dynasty would be over. Therefore, Aijia cannot be used by Wang Guorui, so the capital must be moved." Cixi said.

The capital immediately became wild, because with the order of the Empress Dowager Cixi to move the capital, there was chaos everywhere. Especially those moving the capital is so easy to complete, this is not so much moving the capital as it is fleeing for one's life. The entire capital has also become very chaotic, and there is no stable place at all. This news was immediately sent to Wang Guorui by Zhou Chen, director of the Beijing Office, via telegram.

"The Special Operations Command immediately dispatched a special forces team that had to arrive in the capital within two days, and then occupy the nine gates of the inner city of the capital, blocking the way for the imperial court to move the capital. The plans of the Qing government will also go bankrupt, so the Manchu Qing must be prevented from moving the capital, understand?" Wang Guorui said. (To be continued.)
