Breaking through Guandong, I became Zhu Chuanwen

Chapter 283

In early November, Bingcheng Railway Station
"Good voyage, gentlemen!" Zhu Chuanwen wished the last batch of trainers who were about to go to Sanjiangkou Zhu Shaofang's detachment.

"Salute!" All the trainers saluted Zhu Chuanwen.

There is a different kind of demeanor among this crowd.

"Is this a soldier from the Qing Dynasty?" A passenger happened to see this scene and asked, poking the people around him.

"No, does Zhu Yanwang know? Now that the three prefectures of Binjiang, Yilan, and Longjiang are in group practice, the Zhu family insurance team has done a great job in terms of the stability of the three prefectures. I heard that some time ago, Zhu Yanwang organized an insurance team to grab crops. Well, this is a good soldier."

"Hiss—there are still such soldiers?" The passenger obviously just came to Hei Province and is not familiar with all this. He only heard that Hei Province is very stable now, so he came to see if there is any business that can be done in Bingcheng.

"See, that heroic young man, this is Zhu Yanwang's eldest son, the vice president of the Ice City Council, he has great power. It is thanks to him that you came to Bingcheng to do business. You used to be in Bingcheng Let alone doing business, Greyhounds (Russian policemen) can annoy you to death." The person beside him pointed at the newcomer and said with a smile.

"Second Devil?" The passenger was a little embarrassed.

"Hmph, I advise you to watch it before you talk about it. If you dare to call President Zhu like that, let alone Han Yao's people, I will tear your mouth to pieces first." As he spoke, he ignored his good friend and went straight to the outside of the train station. go.

The businessmen and workers in Bingcheng respected Zhu Chuanwen. This is a true Buddha, and with him around, they dared to do business in Bingcheng. When they encountered problems, they could not go wrong with Hanyao or the workers' picket team.

Passers-by has nothing to do with Zhu Chuanwen. After returning the gift, he watched the train instructors lining up to get on the train to Sanjiangkou. There are a lot of things that need to be practiced.

"Boss, shall we go back? In half an hour, Shopkeeper Qu will be back from Vladivostok." Secretary Wu Tong whispered in Zhu Chuanwen's ear.

"I'm not going back, but I'm going to have some breakfast first." Zhu Chuanwen said, leading his secretary and a few guards into the roadside stall by the train station.

"Boss, a bowl of haggis, and 2 beef pancakes. Whoever eats your own order, Wu Tong will pay the bill!"

Immediately, he sat down opposite a man dressed as a visitor.

When the boss served the food, Zhu Chuanwen asked the man opposite, "Uncle Ren? Has the mountain store in the capital been built?"

"It's been built, and the boss taught me that it was really thanks to the bannermen." Wang Keren also ate haggis and beef pancakes. The food at Bingcheng Railway Station is well-known, and the owner is still a minority, which caused some The Jews also took a bite.

It is said that it is about asking for the blessing of the bannerman, like this: the bannerman in Kanto did not know where to find out that the Wangjishan goods store in Bingcheng is second to none in Heilongjiang Province, so he placed a big order with Wangjishan goods store, a A living tiger, after Wang Keren reported to Zhu Chuanwen, the order was accepted.

"Have you found out the whereabouts of the tiger?" Zhu Chuanwen was very interested. It is not a big deal to catch a tiger in today's mountains and forests, but the important thing is, what does the bannerman want to do with only live tigers?
"It was found out. The tiger entered the capital and was sent directly to the Hundred Beasts Garden, saying it was to celebrate Empress Dowager Cixi's birthday."

It is also because of this that Wang Jishan goods store has established a branch in the capital, and Wang Keren's most trusted subordinates are in charge of collecting information.

"Well, this woman really wants to build a zoo for herself..." It's so extravagant. It is said that the Beijing Animal Garden belongs to the royal family, and there are many animals from different regions for Cixi to watch.

"By the way, the boss is teaching, is this a mountain store in the capital?"

"Let's focus on collecting information. Don't do it lightly. In addition, let's start to get in touch with the disciples of the Gong family in the capital and Jinmen. But be careful, it's a one-way connection. Don't let interested people find the connection."

Taking advantage of the fact that the Gong family built a flour mill in Fengtian, Zhu Chuanwen asked for a list of the Gong family's disciples near the capital and Jinmen, saying that Hanyao's business would expand to Guanzhong. After hesitating for a while, Gong Baosen wrote down , and give tokens, these things are now regarded as the first batch of information about Wangjishan Store in the capital city, and they are also part of the sources of information that can be mastered in the future.The disciples of the Gong family enjoy themselves among the three religions in Beijing and Tianjin.

"Understood, the general teacher. Also, the hunter action team in Kyrgyzstan eliminated three Japanese surveying and mapping teams and mastered a batch of minerals. However, the Japanese are also vigilant. The next operation We plan to use the machine gun directly!" Wang Keren said.

The elimination of the three surveying and mapping teams this time has already aroused the vigilance of the Japanese. The atmosphere of the army in the team is very strong. The action team relied on decisiveness, surprise and the cooperation of grenades to win. You have to use a weapon like a machine gun once, but you have to clean up the battlefield carefully.

"Well, I agree, you take care of the corpse. Also, you communicate with Lin Laoba, and use the food purchased from Ji Province to get those beards who blamed you." Zhu Chuanwen said, the previous plan That's it, kill the Japanese first, and then get the beard.Anyway, the purchase of grain from Zhu's Grain Shop has already been decided.

"I'll make arrangements..." Wang Keren took out the money from his pocket and put it down, finished the last mouthful of the haggis soup, clutched the beef patty wrapped in oiled paper, bit it hard, and walked out of the breakfast shop boldly.

"呵——" The sound of the train braking came from the train station.

Qu Zhenggan, who had been away from Bingcheng for nearly 6 months, stepped onto the platform and immediately saw Zhu Chuanwen surrounded by the crowd and wearing a fur hat.

"Boss! I'm back!"

"Old Qu, you have contributed a lot to this trip..." Zhu Chuanwen grabbed Qu Zhenggan's hand with a smile. This steelmaking equipment has greatly improved Hanyao. The most important point is that some of the equipment is Driven by electric motors, the smooth commissioning of this batch of equipment can be regarded as the first shot fired by Hanyao towards the application of the achievements of the second industrial revolution in the future.

The steelmaking equipment bought from the United States began to enter the gate of the new factory building of Hanyao Steelmaking Plant one by one. In Kyrgyzstan Province, the news that a caravan from Zhujialiang Shop was robbed reached the ears of Cao Kun, the garrison in Kyrgyzstan Province.

"Ziyu, you fellow, Zhu Kaishan from Heilongjiang sent me a letter asking for help, what do you think of this?" Cao Kun asked the Qilu man beside him in a military uniform.

This person is Wu Peifu under Cao Kun. Xu Shichang ordered the third town led by Cao Kun to enter Jilin Province. He took the initiative to invite Ying, and after a few months, the bandits in Changchun were basically wiped out.Cao Kun was overjoyed and promoted the management belt to be the leader.This person is Wu Peifu, and the Cao Wu combination was born.

At this time, Wu Peifu, as Cao Kun's favorite general, was in charge of the artillery mark of the third town.

"Chief Yi, I think it's better to let Zhu Tuanlian's insurance team pay for this small beard. I heard that the insurance team stationed in Binjiang all match horses. It's better for them to solve this kind of thankless matter by themselves." After thinking for a while, Wu Peifu said, as for Cao Kun's talk about fellow countrymen, he didn't say much, he just had a long-standing friendship with Zhu Kaishan.

According to the analysis of Wu Peifu's standpoint, Zhu Kaishan will take away this large amount of food for helping the Zhu family's insurance team to suppress the bandits. This bit of face still has to be given, it's better not to have a conflict because of this matter.

"Even you think so? Can Zhu Kaishan's team quickly clear up these beards?" Cao Kun asked.

"I know about the Binjiang Bandit Suppression of the Zhu Family Insurance Team. This combat power is not weak, and a few beards are not a problem."

"Okay, then I'll write back, and I don't want to have any contact with this person." In fact, Cao Kun also thought so, and this is also to see if his favorite general has any connection with Zhu Kaishan, after all, he still has a fellow villager. , now it seems that Zhu Kaishan is still a rule, so he decided to set up the cross-border suppression of bandits on his own initiative.

Recently, Cao Kun received orders from two immediate superiors. One was from Xu Shichang, ordering his troops to start gathering and be ready for battle at any time.The second is Yuan Shikai. Similarly, I don't know what the two big bosses are thinking, and they also issued the order to gather troops and enter the customs at any time.So it's better for the soldiers not to move, otherwise Cao Kun planned to eat the fat meat himself.

After receiving the order from Zhu Kaishan, the Lin Laoba Detachment of Binjiang Prefecture quickly suppressed the bandits. However, the capital city, where the big bosses of the late Qing Dynasty were closely watching, was beaming even in the cold November. Why?Because the tenth day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar is the birthday of Empress Dowager Cixi, there is not much time left for that big day.

Xu Shichang, who is far away in the Kanto, is thinking about retreating to advance, but the undercurrent in the capital is surging back and forth when Cixi is preparing for her birthday.

Let’s talk about the Han military ministers in Beijing today. Zhang Zhidong and Yuan Shikai entered the military aircraft one after the other since 1905. Maybe this is also the reason why the Qing government controlled the number of Han officials who were in the frontier. balance.Xiang Shuai was old, so naturally he had nothing to ask for, but Yuan Shikai, at this time, was at King Qing's house, bringing a huge sum of money to visit this little expert in financial management of the Qing court.

"My lord, I heard that he is going to have an heir?" Yuan Shikai and King Qing were talking in a secret room with only two of them.

"Weiting, do you dare to intervene in this kind of thing?" King Qing turned to remind this regular visitor who came to his house to give him money.

"My lord, it's not that I want to intervene, but this situation forces me to intervene."

Ever since Yuan Shikai betrayed Emperor Guangxu, it has been difficult to sleep and eat this year. Cixi is old, but Guangxu is still young.But in the past two days, his face has become radiant again. The reason is... Guangxu is sick, which is more serious than Cixi, but there is another problem in front of him, the establishment of an heir.

It wasn't that Yuan Shikai was so inflated at this time that he felt that he could intervene in this important event. For a day when Cixi was around, Yuan Shikai would be quiet for a day.This woman's political skills are really superb, and she never obeyed Xianfeng's edict, and joined forces with Empress Dowager Ci'an and Prince Gong Yixin to launch the Xinyou Coup, punished Gu Ming's eight ministers, seized power, and formed a "second palace with curtains, the prince discusses politics" At the beginning of the pattern, when Tongzhi was rejuvenated, the government was rolled back to the government, and then power was transferred to Tongzhi, she probably did not expect that Tongzhi would die of such a disease.

According to the reasoning at this time, it should be the "Pu" generation who came to power, but Cixi was unwilling to be the empress dowager, so she chose the "Zai" generation Guangxu to be the superior. When he was in power, all the ministers of the Beiyang line were prone and lying down, and Yuan Shikai obediently obeyed orders, and didn't want to confront this old woman, even though he had a disagreement very early on - the small station guards commanded everyone except him Do not move!
At this time, Cixi began to have the idea of ​​establishing an heir, that is, she was really old, which made Yuan Shikai jump out, thinking that she had to participate in this matter...

"Weiting, even I can't interfere in this matter." King Qing showed embarrassment. According to the previous saying, whoever talks about this kind of matter will die!

"My lord, if you don't intervene, the fate of Prince Gong will be the fate of both of us." Yuan Shikai pointed out that he and Prince Qing are grasshoppers on the same rope, and besides, he came here with a huge sum of money, not to listen to this old guy back and forth. evasive.

The Prince Gong that Yuan Shikai was talking about was the former Yixin who died ten years ago, "a lifelong slave" Guizi Liu.

When King Qing heard this, he also began to think about it. He was greedy, but he had self-knowledge. He naturally knew what level he was in the battle. It was because of Cixi's grace that he could reach his current position.So in the future, when Cixi is gone, how can the King Qing family continue to be powerful?For example, his son who has been paved the way.

Cixi did reveal the tone of establishing an heir, and in the next two days he would announce his establishment, no matter where Yuan Shikai got the news, but from what he heard about it, it seemed that he had something to do with King Qing.

The benefits of establishing an heir are obvious. King Qing is the brother of Xianfeng and the heir of Emperor Daoguang. Daoguang is also Emperor Wenzong of the Qing Dynasty. What Yuan Shikai just said was very subtle. When he mentioned the previous generation of Prince Gong, this is one aspect of borrowing the past to refer to the present, and another aspect. It is to remind King Qing that if he establishes an heir and establishes a prince of the Wen clan line, then his power will be preserved. After all, they are a family, and there has always been a tradition of reusing the clan in the late Qing Dynasty.

"What do you think of Prince Gong?" King Qing thought over and over again, and found a suitable candidate in his Wen clan, the new Prince Gong Puwei, the son of Devil Six.

"My lord, it's suitable!" Yuan Shikai said immediately, he was afraid that you had no idea, it would be much easier if you have an idea, as long as you don't find someone related to Guangxu, he has no objection, now what he is guarding against is Prince Chun Zai Feng, Guangxu's half-brother.

"However, you and I can't do it alone." King Qing was still a little embarrassed, Cixi hadn't asked him yet, so it was a bit inappropriate to go there rashly.

"I have an old relationship with the British Minister Zhu Erdian, and I can use him to bring up this topic." Yuan Shikai had already thought of a countermeasure. No one in the Qing Dynasty said that this matter is inappropriate, but only foreigners can suggest to Cixi... …

紫禁城

Cixi looked at the imperial physician who was taking her pulse in front of her, she was old and refined, and she already had a secret guess in her heart.

"Xiao Lizi, what did the imperial doctor say?"

"Returning to Lafayette, the imperial doctor said that Lafayette is fine, he prescribed a prescription, and it will be fine after taking a few medicines."

"Xiao Lizi, don't just pick up nice words. Just now, when the slave (emperor doctor) took the pulse of Ai's family, his hands shook like that. He is also an old slave. Could it be that Ai's family will kill him just because of his few words? No way?" Ci Xi said, although she said so, no one knew what was on her mind, if the imperial doctor said it was serious just now, it would be a common thing to kill a lot of people.After taking the decoction, Cixi asked softly again: "How is the emperor recently?"

"The emperor is also ill in bed recently, but..." Li Lianying hesitated and stopped talking.

"Let's talk!" Cixi knew that there must be something wrong, and Li Lianying's eyeliner was watching Guangxu's matter.

"However, for some reason, the emperor heard that Lafayette was sick in bed, and his spirit suddenly recovered."

"Hmph, what a white-eyed wolf." Cixi sulked unconsciously when she heard these words. After fighting with Guangxu for a long time, her resentment naturally became deeper and deeper, and her control over the imperial power naturally reached a kind of morbid control.

"There is one more thing." Li Lianying whispered again when Cixi was angry, and continued after receiving Cixi's questioning eyes. "King Qing handed over a foreign affairs brochure, saying that the British Minister Zhu Erdian wanted to ask Princess De Ling to record a video celebrating the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and it was also to celebrate their King Edward VII's birthday."

"Cuoer Xiaobang!" Cixi cursed bitterly. In the past, Qing Dynasty was the suzerain state, and all the vassal states came to congratulate her. Now, this is treating Qing Dynasty as the vassal state of Britain, and asked instead: " Last time you said what happened to this person named Ai and his son?"

"Edward VII and his son, the Prince of Wales, are said to be sitting on the throne together in a palace called Windsor." Li Lianying recalled and said, some things had naturally been explained by others.

In fact, this matter was that the Prince of Wales and Edward VII had desks side by side in Windsor Castle. It was spread to the Qing Dynasty, and somehow they became co-sitting on the throne.

"It's really a barbarian, but the barbarians know that fathers are kind and sons are filial, and the son of the Ai family still wants to seize the power of the Ai family!" Cixi has long since lost interest in sitting on the throne. What she wants is absolute control, but this matter On the contrary, Er'er reminded her that under her account, the emperor's health was getting worse and worse, and the matter of establishing an heir should be settled. "Show Yingtai."

瀛台
Cixi sat upright on a chair, and kneeling below was a sickly young man in bright yellow clothes. Cixi took a sip of ginseng tea lightly.

"Emperor, mourning the family and wanting to raise an heir! What do you think of this?"

Guangxu's lowered head was full of hatred in the depths of his eyes, set up an heir, set up an heir!My concubine Zhen, the child in Concubine Zhen's belly!It was all done by the person in front of him.

Step by step, Cixi put a hat of "the emperor has no virtue, the emperor has no queen" on his head, and gave himself poison. Do you really think that he was the fool before that after being imprisoned for 10 years?Now all of this is just a disguise, don't you believe that you can really outlive me?Guangxu thought secretly, but his face showed panic: "The son may die soon, so it's good for the emperor's mother to decide such important matters."

"Well, but, who is the emperor thinking about?"

This is just a courtesy too.

"Zichen didn't think about anything." Guangxu's head was lowered so that Cixi couldn't see his gnashing of teeth.

"Then you don't have to worry about it."

Cixi left, Guangxu looked at the distant ship and thought to himself, just waiting for that day.

On the tenth day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar, this is the day of Empress Dowager Cixi's birthday. Although she feels that her physical strength is getting weaker and weaker recently, she is in a good mood. Prince Gong Puwei, who was nominated by King Qing, Yuan Shikai and others, was rejected by her, and Prince Jin's son Puyi was rejected by her. Adopting her in the palace was a big deal.

Empress Longyu is hers. Although she is a little ugly, her mind is pure and she is completely attached to Cixi. When Guangxu returns to heaven, the Qing Dynasty will still be in her hands.So he organized his birthday party with great interest.

Today she was dressed like Guanyin Bodhisattva, but at noon, she had been eating and drinking for a while, and the harem concubines and her close officials who came to celebrate her birthday were also dressed in the same way, some were dragon sons and daughters, and some were gods from all walks of life.

Cixi had a great time playing.

"All the immortals, I got a Siberian tiger today, are you interested in going to enjoy it with me?" Cixi asked the immortals.

"Respecting the decree of the Empress Guanyin." The immortals were also noncommittal, as long as they were happy with the Empress Guanyin.

At this time, Guangxu of Yingtai also received a secret report from the eunuch, and Cixi went to the Garden of Beasts.

A piece of meat with Chinese medicine inside was thrown into the cage by a breeding eunuch.

Cixi brought all the immortals to the Garden of Beasts, in front of an iron cage covered with cloth.

"All the immortals, this tiger is very docile." Cixi triumphantly explained to everyone that this tiger should be by her side today, so as to make the most of her enlightenment. You see, even ferocious beasts have to submit to me, There are some things you should understand...

Following Li Lianying, slowly opened the curtain, a colorful and fierce tiger appeared in front of everyone. This is an adult Siberian tiger, paid tribute by the people of the Guandong Banner.

Cixi walked slowly to the side of the cage and made a gesture. The tiger had been trained long ago. When she made this gesture, the tiger should obediently crawl to the side of the cage.

However, an accident happened like this.

"Roar!" The tiger roared innately, roaring at Cixi.

This sudden change caused Cixi to sit down on her buttocks. Although there was an iron cage, the tiger was not afraid of the impact of pain, and it still shocked the old woman who was nearly 7 years old.

"Go back to the palace!" Cixi said tremblingly to Li Lianying.

From now on, this Cixi's body is getting worse day by day, the old man is most afraid of being frightened.But Guangxu of Yingtai's body and bones are getting better day by day.

1908 11 Month 14 Day.

Cixi woke up again from her daze, and said to Li Lianying: "Little Li, the emperor can't stay anymore, let's do it."

"twitter!"

Guangxu from Yingtai never imagined that this old woman had such a vicious heart, and it was fine to feed her some weak poison, but today she wanted to poison her to death.Looking at Li Lianying with two strong eunuchs.

"Emperor Niang, is this planning to attack me?" Guangxu said coldly.

"Your Majesty, the matter of the Hundred Beasts Garden has been found out. You did it, didn't you?" Li Lianying also directly stated the reason.

"Xiao Lizi, if you wait a few more days, when I regain power, you will still be in charge." Guangxu showed his domineering side, anyway, he was also an emperor, and he has some domineering air , staring fiercely at Li Lianying.

"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. This servant is only following Lafayette's instructions." Li Lianying said bravely. It was only at this time that he discovered that the emperor of Yingtai had a ruthless side.

"Okay, very good!" Guangxu looked at the two eunuchs who were about to make a move, and said.Even if the emperor dies, he still wants to look like the emperor. He picked up the arsenic in front of him and drank it all in one gulp. He still made a mistake. He didn't expect the old poisonous woman to take him with him in the end. Looking at the two eunuchs, if he doesn't follow, It is estimated that this medicine will have to be fed by them.

"The emperor's funeral!" With the shouts of the little eunuchs, Cixi, like a radiant glory, called all the military ministers: "Puyi, the son of the regent, will be the heir emperor, and a year name will be called Xuantong! I want to watch the emperor ascend..." Just as he was speaking, Cixi, a woman who had ruled the Qing Dynasty for nearly 40 years, drove west, followed Guangxu, and died one after the other. The funeral date is only 1 day apart.
