The electric newspaper floated down from Bidens's hands and his face was as pale as ash. Suddenly, he shouted loudly, ”Oh my god! ”My God, won't you give me a chance?”
”Zai Chun! You have even squeezed out the bone marrow of our Manchu? Are you taking all of our Manchu's possessions with you? ”
”You are a lunatic … Hahaha... I thought I was a lunatic, but never would I have imagined that you were even crazier than me! ”
His vision turned black, and he immediately collapsed onto a chair, fainting. Everyone in the room was frightened out of their wits!
Just when everyone was busy saving Prince, Yi Kuang picked up the set of electric newspaper, looked at the time the announcement was made, and said in a low voice, ”The four o'clock in the afternoon telegraph … ”Why did it only arrive now...”
”I... F * ck … ”Damn you...” After Yi Kuang read the words, he staggered and almost fainted. It was so easy for him to support his body with his hands!
”It's over! He was finished … You, Zai Chun, are you trying to block our retreat?! ”
What had happened? The Prince Gong's Mansion was in a mess as all the guards started to shrink their powers, protecting the entire hall.
He had to turn back this time!
Today was October 15th, 1872, the day before the Tongzhi Emperor Grand marriage. According to the rules, it was the day you gave your mother a betrothal gift, a golden book and a golden seal!
In the early hours of the morning, Ceng Guofan passed away.
After Ceng Guofan's death, the conservative faction, which represented the Prince Kung, immediately decided to instigate a ruckus in the Capital, and overthrow the rule of the Tongzhi Emperor!
And when Xiao Letian and Zeng Family realized that they were in danger, the Zeng Family lost her backbone, Grand Marshal, so she could only bear the notoriety of being unfilial and move her spirit south ahead of time!
And halfway through the heavenly bridge, the Chinese had launched an emergency Military Meetings!
Even in the afternoon on that day, the Inside the Forbidden City's Emperor Tongzhi could smell the scent of a conspiracy!
Nothing new in the sun! They were all experts in conspiracy. Some things had their own rules. Whether it was revolting or starting a riot, they all had their own ways to go!
The more you experience, the more wind you can rise from the end of the duckweed, watching butterflies dance can tell the origin of the storm!
However, these schemers had obviously discovered that this was a conspiracy, but they were alerted by one piece of news, and Bidens was the last person to receive that news!
However, this news was like an iron hammer smashing into his spine!
What was this news? He still had to look far away in the northeast direction of Capital. This telegraph came from Pinggu County, Beijing, and then headed northwest to the Great Wall's Yellow Cliff Pass!
The strategic position of the Great Wall in the Qing Dynasty was very low, because the Qing Dynasty itself was only a small number of Ethnic Group s from the north.
Therefore, the Great Wall did not have any military significance in the Qing Dynasty, but the Great Wall was not abolished either, because this wall could still be used to provide some security or help with taxes!
Walking along the ancient camps in the Great Wall, they could guard against the dangers of having local bandit s run amok. Those entrances could also stop Caravan s who tried to evade taxes, forcing them to pay obediently at the pass!
Yellow Cliff Pass was an ancient pass located in the northern part of the Pinggu Valley, under the jurisdiction of Ji County.
Inside the pass was a Base Camp called the Yellow Cliff Battalion. This Base Camp that was built in the Ming Dynasty could gather troops of at least ten thousand, but in the Qing Dynasty, there was only one Chief Qian leading a team to guard it.
Although it was said to be Chief Qian, actually, he only had a little more than 400 Tin trees in his hands. The empty Military pay s for the remaining 600 people were all eaten by him!
