Chapter 125: The army sent to the capital to challenge Cixi

After the death of a treacherous hero Ronglu, although in Ye Zhikui's opinion, this was nothing, it was just a relatively famous person who died, but from the Qing Dynasty, the situation was completely different. The news has not yet spread from Tianjin, but officials of all sizes and big and small in Tianjin were all terrified when they heard the news.

Who is Ronglu? The Governor of Zhili, the Minister of Military Affairs, and the Confidant of the Lord Buddha. Such figures, even if they fight with foreign countries, they will be safe after the Qing Dynasty loses. Of course, because those who die are all frontline soldiers, after the war, they can continue to eat, drink, have fun, and ride on others as a mighty person. However, when they meet Ye Zhikui now, everything is different. Ye Zhikui, no matter whether you are a first-rank or a top-rank official in the court, you should do it and kill what you should kill, and you will not be ruthless. So everyone should carefully consider which side they will turn to.

After conquering the Governor's Office, the war did not end, but just began. The results of this battle were also counted soon. Wu Yi's army came unexpectedly and suddenly attacked, with little loss. Ronglu's confidants died in battle four or five hundred people, and more than a thousand people died in the other miscellaneous situations.

After the gunshots in the middle of the night, the Tianjin City finally returned to calm. The red ribbon masked army that appeared last night disappeared without a trace before dawn. It seemed that the grand occasion that appeared last night was just an illusion. The blacksmith shop in the east of the city and the tofu shop in the west of the city were also opened one after another. The people who came to buy tofu and iron tools were still greeted by the store, Yaowu and Yaoliu, and Xiaoliuzi's family also smiled and welcomed the customers. It seemed that nothing had changed. Only the three of them knew that everything was not a cloud. They just lurked, waiting for the next summon and the next explosion.

Ye Zhikui was busy dispatching troops and generals. According to the prior plan, after Wuyi's army captured the Governor's Office, it would leave a large number of troops to fight against the Gansu Army and the Xinjian Army, while the other troops quickly entered the capital. However, now Yuan Shikai's new army was accepted by Ye Zhikui and was almost annexed by Wuyi's army in disguise. Yuan Shikai continued to be locked in the Governor's Office and was not released by Ye Zhikui. It was a charge: betrayed the emperor and sold the owner for honor.

Yuan Shikai burst into tears: Damn, Ye Zhikui, you don’t play like this. If you want to raise an army, you should say to me. I will definitely work with you. It doesn’t matter if you are younger brother. In just one day, I have already made you feel unfamiliar. Ye Zhikui hates you forever. Ye Zhikui doesn’t care what Yuan Shikai thinks. As soon as the battle in Tianjin ended, he ordered Wu Dashan to gather more than 1,000 people from the Wuyi Army and the newly established army. After using the breakfast sent by the Gan army, he kept going to the capital while the sky was light and immediately rushed to the capital to seize Andingmen, clearing the obstacles for the arrival of the subsequent army. The Tianjin Wuyi Army was ready. Before the noon, the army was dispatched. At the same time, he ordered Feng Guozhang, Duan Qirui, and Shandong Wuyi Army to enter Tianjin immediately and support the Tianjin Wuyi Army before reinforcements arrived.

The distance between Tianjin and the capital was 200 miles long, and it took two days to rush. Dong Xiangfu was in Xinjiang for two days and one night, leading his troops to rush for more than 300 miles to defeat the enemy. Ye Zhikui had no reason and did not believe that Wu Dashan would arrive at the capital in two days.

Ye Zhikui warmly welcomed Dong Fuxiang who came to seek investment with the current situation, signed a letter of guarantee and sent a letter of vote. Everyone was a good revolutionary comrade. Ye Zhikui gave him a arduous and glorious task, which was to temporarily maintain public order in Tianjin and crack down on speculators.

Shortly after Wu Dashan set out, Ye Zhikui received news from the capital that the emperor had been deposed by Cixi and was imprisoned in Yingtai. The capital had been panicked. Compared with the two, no one dared to say that Ye Zhikui's secret edict was a false edict.

Ye Zhikui thought that the matter of the rebellion in Tianjin could not be hidden from Cixi for too long, so he simply let go of his hands and made a vote of justice and raised the banner of justice. After receiving Ye Zhikui's order, Yan Dunyuan and Yang Du immediately wrote a verbal manifesto to attack Yehenara according to the historical manifesto:

The Yehenara, the false dynasty, was not harmonious in nature, but the earth was actually cold. She was actually a concubine of the late emperor, who was cruel to loyal and kind, and was humble to foreigners, and was jealous of gods and men, and the heaven and earth were not tolerated. She still kept evil intentions and stole magical tools. She even secretly concealed the current emperor to another palace; the thief's sect alliance was entrusted with important tasks. She shouted! She had been kept behind the curtain for more than 20 years, and cedeed the land every year; her honorary name was 16 characters, and every word was deceived by the sky.

My Zhili Admiral's blessing in command of Ye Zhikui, and his country was at peace. Because of the disappointment of the world, he followed the hearts of the world and followed the emperor's secret order, and raised the flag of righteousness to clear the evil spirits.

The war horses neighed in the north wind, and the sword energy rushed straight towards the stars in the sky. The warrior's roar caused the mountains to collapse and the clouds and sky to change color. How can the enemy be invincible with this? Why can't you defeat this?

...

Please see who is in the world today!

Ye Zhikui must first criticize Cixi in public opinion, and call on the governors from all over the country to work with him to resist the rule of the old woman Cixi.

Keep the emperor and keep the court.

To make himself stand firm, in terms of news wars, Ye Zhikui probably is more than a dozen Cixis not his opponents. Ye Zhikui sent this manifesto and the emperor's secret edict to newspapers in various places. I believe that in two days, the whole world will probably be in full swing.

At that time, no matter how the governors and governors of each province react, I believe that there are people under my subordinates to oppose it. When they agree, Ye Zhikui believes that the major event has been decided.

Ye Zhikui refused to give up, and then asked Yang Du to write a letter of persuasion to withdraw, asking officials from all over the Zhili area in Tianjin to sign and seal it, persuading Cixi to not be greedy for power, let the emperor go, and abdicate himself.

The soldiers of Wuyi's army performed their duties and immediately calmed down the chaotic Tianjin. Ye Zhikui had already sat on the seat of the Supervisory Office to handle military affairs. Usually, Rong Lu was seated in this position.

"Martial Arts, Li Zhongtang is here!" the confidant whispered in his ear.

Li Hongzhang finally came, and Ye Zhikui sighed in his heart. He was mentally prepared. Whether it was a break or something depends on his master's office.

Ye Zhikui walked off his seat and greeted him in person at the door. Soon after, he saw Li Hongzhang appearing not far away with his followers.

The personal guard was about to go up to search, Ye Zhikui waved his hand and shouted, "Master Zhongtang will be unfavorable to me, the junior, please step down!"

When Li Hongzhang heard this, his face slightly improved. After entering the hall, he signaled everyone to go out, leaving only him and Ye Zhikui.

"Congyun, you are so brave that you are so ambitious. I still can't believe you did this!" Li Hongzhang began to scold Ye Zhikui.

Ye Zhikui shrugged, first sent Li Hongzhang the secret edict that Guangxu gave him and the telegram from the capital this morning, and then asked a little lonely: "Old Zhongtang, what should you do if you are a kid?"

After one night last year, Li Hongzhang saw that the Wu Yi army had completely become Ye Zhikui's private army. Overnight, he seemed to have seen through Ye Zhikui and answered the question irrelevantly: "What if you do it if you send the Yun army to the capital and save the emperor?"

"What else can we do to support the emperor and implement the new policy." Ye Zhikui said casually without caring.

Li Hongzhang asked tightly: "I and you know very well that the emperor does not have this ability. Congyun, would you really assist the emperor?"

Ye Zhikui smiled embarrassedly and said, "I will talk about what happened in the future. Now I am just following the order to go to Beijing to kill the traitorous ministers and save the emperor."

Li Hongzhang stared at Ye Zhikui for a while, sighed and said, "In the past, Zhang Peilun advised me, Li Hongzhang, why didn't he raise an army to rebel against the Qing Dynasty, but I refused. Congyun, why do you know?"

Ye Zhikui was shocked. He didn't expect that Li Hongzhang had thought about overthrowing the Qing Dynasty before, and today he was still intimate with him.

When Li Hongzhang saw Ye Zhikui's surprised expression, he smiled indifferently and said, "I used to be more powerful than you. You have such thoughts now, how can I not have it?"

Ye Zhikui asked, "Why didn't the central hall implement it in the end?"

"It's really impossible. First, I used to be restrained by the Huai Army and the Hunan Army by the Old Buddha's plan. The Old Buddha has been kind to me; second, I am old and have fewer ambitions. Now you are blessed and strong in your body, and Wuyi Army is one of them. No one in the world can suppress it. If you don't have such a mind, I'm afraid even I will be disappointed in you."

"Zhongtang, boy!..."

Li Hongzhang waved his hand to stop him and said, "You don't need to say more. I can see your thoughts clearly. I just hope you will think carefully about how to go in the future. Now the imperial court is in name only, and the governors and governors in various places have great power and do their own things. Just like the princes at the end of the Han Dynasty, they only have a little less army. I don't want you to cause chaos in the world at that time, and give outsiders an opportunity to take advantage of it. Instead, I hope you can find a good way to slowly bring the military power of each province into your hands and think about other things."

"Zhongtang, I've been taught." Ye Zhikui said sincerely.

Li Hongzhang was a little lonely. He was greedy for power. Thinking that after Cixi stepped down, he might not be valued. Ye Zhikui said again: "There is another thing, I hope the old minister can help me."

"What's the matter?"

"The book of persuading the withdrawal that the boy just made is hoped that Li Zhongtang can sign it on it. By then, the book will spread all over the world, and Zhongtang's reputation will be further improved."

"I am afraid you will not give up if you don't sign your name. Well, let me Li Hongzhang be a loyal and patriotic person and leave a good impression on the emperor in advance."

Li Hongzhang finally chose to stand on Ye Zhikui's side. With his good-looking vision, he certainly knew what to do best for him.

Ye Zhikui was overjoyed when he saw his promise. With Li Hongzhang's prestige, he believed that when the people of the world saw this letter of persuasion, the governors and governors of all provinces had to consider it carefully.

After Li Hongzhang went down, the butcher slowly floated out of the dark corner.

If Li Hongzhang had any abnormal movement just now, Ye Zhikui believed that he would definitely be the one who died first.

Ye Zhikui asked, "Uncle Tu, how are some stubborn people dealing with it?"

"The subordinates have already let them disappear in this world."

"It's so good, and some money from the yamen and the supervisory office will also be found to be moved away."

The butcher's eyes lit up and he replied, "I'm already dealing with these things," he said.

Ye Zhikui had nothing to say. When it comes to money, Shi Yu is always one step ahead of him.
