Chapter 38 Preparation

In 1871, Tsarist Russia took advantage of the turmoil in Xinjiang and the busyness of the Qing government, and in July, it blatantly sent troops to invade Yili.

The capture of Yili attracted the attention of the Qing court. The Qing court ordered Jing Lian, Cheng Lu and others to lead their troops out of the pass and ordered Zuo Zongtang to send troops to fight.

Tongzhi was buried in the case. He knew that in May 1875, the Qing court issued an edict to grant Zuo Zongtang the imperial commissioner to supervise the military affairs of Xinjiang, and to fully control the three armies. General Jin Shun was the assistant to the military affairs and went to the frontier to quell the rebellion of Xinjiang.

In the end, the rebellious forces were successfully suppressed and cut off all the tentacles that Tsarist Russia had extended into X-Border.

Tongzhi in history died on January 12, 1875. Is it just a coincidence? Whether you are infected with syphilis or not, the ending will be before Zuo Zongtang sends troops.

Zuo Zongtang's Chu army and Li Hongzhang's Huai army were all stationed in Zhili and guarding the capital. As long as there was a little disturbance, they could be transferred to the palace as soon as possible.

Now there is less than a month left before January 12th. So Cixi wanted to take action in the palace, and she solved it before the large army set off her mission just in case.

Do you want to assassinate? Tongzhi really can't do it. No matter how much he is, it's his mother. No matter how he treats himself, it's a fact.

"Let's find a way to bring Ferguson and his team members into the palace, and it's best to put them in the guards." Although Tongzhi did not have much military strength, he would never surrender.

"I understand." Chen Guifen said, this was not very difficult for him. The guards guarding the palace gate had more or less a bit of friendship.

"Also, I'll select a group of people for me, not many, about twenty. I must be better-skilled and loyal. I'm useful." Tongzhi thought about it, but still felt that it was not safe: "Pick thirty for me."

"I understand." Chen Guifen didn't ask, nodded in response.

"It would be great if I had given me a while." Tongzhi looked at the departing Chen Guifen's back and sighed. He was not ready for anything and had no capital to fight against Cixi.

It seems that I can only take a different approach and win the young model in the club and lose to work. Can a man still suffocate to death by peeing?

"Old Wang, let's go to the military base to find a batch of weapons in the evening."

"Emperor? Go to the base? Are there any weapons there?" Eunuch Wang was puzzled. How could there be such a huge casualty last time with weapons?

"If you want to go, go, set off at night, go to heaven and earth first, and take everyone over."

After giving the order to the prince, Tongzhi looked at the swallow Li San beside him, touched his chin gently and said, "Li San, go out later and do something for me."

"Your Majesty, now is a critical period. I have left. If..." Yan Zi and Li San were a little worried.

"Oh, they dare not come out in the palace, otherwise you can't take me out of thousands of people, don't worry." Tongzhi felt warm in his heart. The mother-son relationship was even worse than a hero who was walking in the world. It was sad.

Two quarters of an hour later, at the entrance of Yangxin Palace, Chen Guifen had already selected thirty guards and stood in line.

"Lao Wang, has the news been passed?"

"Your Majesty, you have notified me and deliberately avoided the two eunuchs who were scattered." Eunuch Wang mentioned the two and said gritting his teeth.

"No, not only do not avoid them, but also let them know." Tongzhi shook his head.

"Your Majesty, this..."

"Just do what I said." Tongzhi smiled, without explanation, and looked at the swallow Li San beside him.

"Li San, you will take this group of people to the overpass later and hand this note to a man named Chen Chong." Tongzhi took out a piece of paper from his pocket, took out another token, and handed it to Yan Zi Li San.

"After finishing, I will rush back immediately. I still need you here." Tongzhi patted Yan Zi Li San's shoulder and walked to the thirty guards.

"Soldiers, I will go back and change into casual clothes later. I have a task for you. Someone will tell you the details at that time."

"I'll wait for you to come back and welcome everyone."

…………

After everything was arranged, he ran around the palace twice, and stopped to return to the palace until his clothes were soaked in sweat, and took a shower. Under the massage of the palace maids, Tongzhi slowly fell asleep.

Since he was reborn, Tongzhi has never been tired. Not only his physical body, but also mentally exhausted, and he needs a good rest.

Don't worry, I will definitely have a beginning and an end!
