Chapter 16 Empress Dowager Cixi

In 1864 AD, Xianfeng is dead.

The chief of the Qing Dynasty is Emperor Tongzhi.

Of course, Emperor Tongzhi is only eight years old now. He is too young and so he pretends to be an emperor. Therefore, the person who is truly in power is actually Tongzhi's biological mother, Empress Dowager Cixi.

Yes, it is the strange woman who has held the power of China for fifty years and said that she would rather give it to foreign countries than to slaves.

The woman who created countless jokes and was terriblely stupid.

Morning court time.

The little emperor Tongzhi sat in the emperor's position in a fake manner.

But not far away there was a pearl curtain, which was behind the curtains of Cixi.

Below are many ministers of the Qing Dynasty.

"Have you not held the young king of the Taiping Army yet?" Behind the pearl curtain, Cixi's words came.

The Taiping Army still has tens of thousands of troops, and there are still many believers among the people.

If you don’t hold on to the young king, the Taiping Army will not be considered a waste.

The Taiping Army caused too much trouble. When it was strong, it occupied half of China, which scared the high-level officials of the Qing Dynasty.

"Go back to the Queen Mother." Zeng Guofan said in a deep voice below: "This young king was not difficult to capture. But something strange seemed to have happened to him."

Zeng Guofan is in his forties and is strong in his youth. When he looks at Cixi, he has a decent look. However, if he meets the Taiping Army or other people with lower status, his eyebrows will be frowning very tightly and his anger will arise.

Those who approach him could even smell a faint smell of blood.

Zeng Guofan was called Zeng Shaved. He killed countless people and killed countless heads.

"Oh, something strange happened? Let's hear it." Empress Dowager Cixi said in a deep voice.

"Yes, we had already broken up all the troops of the Taiping Army Youtianwang, causing him to escape alone to a barren mountain in Shicheng, Jiangxi. He had already reached the end. At this time, there were 2,000 Green Camp soldiers who rushed up the barren mountain, but were defeated by him alone. These Green Camp soldiers were all said that the Young Heavenly King was the enemy of thousands of people."

"After that, more than 2,000 people in our Hunan Army were led by Xi Baotian, the hero of our army, and rushed up the mountain. But something strange happened. The troops who attacked the first one with swords and spears, but neither swords nor spears could stab the young king of the Taiping Army. It seemed that he was indestructible. At that time, the young king said to himself that he had obtained the body of the Holy Father's surrender."

"Xi Baotian and others didn't believe it, so they took out a gun and shot it. Five hundred guns and hit the young king, but they only injured him. But this man was indeed fierce, at least dozens of guns, but he was still quickly approaching the musket army and killing most of the musket army."

"This matter is too ghostly, and I dare not report it."

"But recently, Nan Xiangwen, the son of the former deputy helm leader of the Tiandihui Society, came to throw us. He said that their Tiandihui Society's header was also washed by the Young Heavenly King. The Young Heavenly King also defeated hundreds of people alone. He even got shot several shots from Nan Xiangtian, the former deputy helm leader of the Tiandihui Society. It was fine, and the bullets were only shot a little bit."

"The young king of the Taiping Army claims to be the Holy Son and the Holy Father."

"There are such strange things?" Cixi couldn't help but wonder.

After hearing this, the court officials in the hall also talked a lot.

"It's strange."

"This is really weird."

"There are still people who can hit thousands of shots, and they are only persuaded to be injured if they are attacked? Is this still a human?"

"You haven't heard that the young king claims to be the Holy Father and the Son. If that's true, he is not a human being. It is said that the Western God, God, is the Holy Father they call it. This young king considers himself God." said an official who has some understanding of Western culture.

"I think I am God, how confident it is." The officials were stunned.

Zeng Guofan has always been safe and will not tell such a big lie to deceive everyone.

"What kind of holy father, the Son, is one. What should I do?" Cixi was shocked: "Do you have any good ideas?"

The ministers below were silent. For mortals, they had a way. But what if there was a god on the other side?

"Actually, the old minister has a way." Zeng Guofan said in a deep voice. After receiving Cixi's nod, he said in a deep voice: "Now the young king of the Taiping Army is known as the Holy Father and the Holy Son, and calls himself God. But in fact, he is not a God."

"In his performance, he may not be afraid of swords and spears, but he is also afraid of Western muskets. Every time a Western musket hit him, he will be injured. Therefore, he has been hiding among the mountains and dare not come down to the mountains."

"And as long as we can lead him down the mountain, we can successfully kill him."

"But how can we lead him down the mountain? He should know his weaknesses, so he will never go down the mountain." Cixi asked with a frown.

"There is a way. Our army captured Li Xiucheng and Xia Houshang Yanyan."

"In the early stage of the Taiping Army, the five kings including Hong Xiuquan, Yang Xiuqing, Wei Changhui, Xiao Chaogui, and Shi Dakai were the most famous. However, the most famous ones in the later stage were Li Xiucheng and Chen Yucheng, who were the most capable of fighting among the Taiping Army. Chen Yucheng had long died, and Li Xiucheng was loyal and dedicated to protecting the master."

"As for the Xia Hou Shang Yanyan, she is the second concubine of the young king."

"After I caught these two people, I did not torture them, and treated them well."

"Now, you can be used as bait."

"We prepare a trap and give it a month. In a month, Monk Li Xiucheng Yanyan will be punished by Ling Chi. How cruel is the punishment of Ling Chi. I think the Taiping Army will come to rescue him."

"And the best thing is to attract the young king."

"As long as you attract the young king, you can ambush him with the musket troops."

When Empress Dowager Cixi heard this, she couldn't help but nodded: "It's a good plan, a good plan. But what if the young king doesn't come?"

"No, haha, monk Li Xiucheng Yanyan was punished by Ling Chi Ling and died in pain. His reputation as a young king will also be damaged. We can also find other ways to deal with this young king."

"This Hong Tianguifu must die. If he doesn't die, it will be difficult for the rebellion to suffocate the rebellion!"

"Okay." Cixi nodded: "Well done. Just do it."

...

What is He Xuan doing recently?

He found a man in the new headquarter of the Tiandihui, holding a gun and shooting at him.

First, get used to the feeling of being shot by a gun.

Second, see if you can cut off the bullets rushing over with your sword.

The first point is that I gradually got used to it.

But the second point is that there is no way. The bullets are shot too quickly. Sometimes, simply by feeling, I feel the sword and swing the sword in advance to slash it. However, the bullet itself is metal. With such an acceleration, the impact force is so great that the sword blocks more bullets and the sword body will be broken.
