"I caught it, I caught it. Not only did I catch Cixi and Guangxu, but I also caught two princes. This is good news for buying two for free."

"That's great. How are Cixi and Guangxu's health now?"

"The military doctors in Sifang have been examined and are generally fine. However, Cixi Bi Jing is an elderly man in his 70s. Although he is well maintained, his physical function is definitely not as good as that of young people. He is somewhat frightened, but it is not serious. It will be better if he is lying on a while. On the contrary, it is Guangxu. Although he has less than 40 years, his physical condition is not as good as Cixi. His respiratory, digestive tract, and lungs are not good, and he has a relatively serious depression. Of course, it has not reached a life-threatening point. Now both of them are receiving treatment in Sifang's hospitals."

"Well, tell Sifang that if you use the best medical conditions to treat these two people, you can apply to Qingdao if you have any needs. Although they are prisoners, they are important prisoners. Living is more useful to us than dead. Therefore, we need their health now. In addition, we can also try to take care of them as much as possible, and leave a few eunuchs and palace maids to serve them."

"But we can't hold them too far. Now they are no longer the emperor and the empress dowager, but our captives. When they are caught, they are not going to be offered up, otherwise what the soldiers think. Basic care is OK, but not too special. Cixi is an old lady, just leave a palace maid and a eunuch to take care of her. Guangxu is still young, so he can arrange a eunuch for him, and the palace maid is spared. In addition, we must first make it clear that the person arranged is only to take care of their lives, no longer their slaves, and they are not allowed to do excessive things, let alone beat and scold them."

"There is another point. Since the Qing Dynasty has been completed, the titles of Cixi, Guangxu, Empress Dowager, and Emperor should all become history. Therefore, in the future, whether it is documents or in the words, these titles should no longer exist. Cixi's correct name is the Yehenara clan, and Guangxu's title is Zai Tian, ​​or Aisin Gioro Zai Tian, ​​don't make any mistakes."

"It's right, it's very necessary to regulate the title."

It turned out that the special forces of the East China Government captured Cixi, Guangxu, Prince Qing Yili, Prince Chun Zaifeng and others and withdrew to the military camp of Sifang Railway Station. Although Zai Tao led the troops stationed in the Summer Palace to rescue, they were stubbornly resisted by the People's Army's blocking troops. Although the number of Qing troops was far greater than that of the People's Army, the quality of soldiers and the command ability of officers were far inferior to that of the People's Army. Moreover, because the Qing army came in a hurry, the soldiers only brought them with them.

The rifle and weapon were used, and the firepower of the People's Army was far stronger than that of the Qing army. The 60 mortars equipped by the People's Army posed a great threat to the Qing army. First, the lethality of artillery was much greater than that of firearms, and mortars were no exception; second, most of the soldiers of the Qing army had not experienced actual combat, and after several rounds of artillery bombing, they were killed and injured. When the other Qing soldiers saw it, they were so scared that they flew out of the sky and retreated one after another. Lian Zaitao could not control it.

Fortunately, the People's Army is not pressing. After all, it is not the time to fight with the Qing army to win, so it has also taken the opportunity to leave the battle, evacuate from the battlefield, and pursue the troops in front.

The Qing army retreated 3 or 4 kilometers, but because the People's Army did not pursue, it stopped retreating. After all, this Qing army was trained by a new army and was still stronger than the ordinary Qing army. Seeing that the People's Army did not pursue, Zaitao conquered the Long team while sending people back to inspect it. The result was a reward. The People's Army had retreated from Dinghui Temple.

So Zaitao took the team back to Dinghui Temple to check. Of course, there was no People's Army at this time, but he found some guards and eunuchs of Cixi and Guangxu, and found the bodies of Dai Hongci and Yinchang in the temple. Dai Hongci was shot and died, while Yinchang committed suicide. In addition, from the guards and eunuchs, he learned that Cixi and Guangxu had been captured by the People's Army.

After hearing this, Zaitao was anxious, but he did not dare to pursue him. First, the People's Army had gone far away, and it was difficult to catch up if he chased him. Second, the battle just now made Zaitao know the power of the People's Army and did not have the courage to pursue him.

So after thinking about it for a while, Zaitao had to lead the army back to Beijing and negotiate with the left-behind ministers if Cixi was rescued, Guangxu would be.

The blocking troops chased the troops in front and returned to the military camp of Sifang Railway Station. On the way back, they captured some eunuchs waiting for the guards. The most important thing was to attack this time, a total of 52 people were captured. In addition to Cixi, Guangxu, Prince Qing Yili, Prince Chun Zaifeng, Cixi's personal female official Deling, Huili Rong'er, the fourth princess of Prince Qing Yili, Guangxu's queen Longyu, Jinfei, and eunuch general manager Li Lianying and other famous figures, there were 12 eunuchs, 8 palace maids, 13 waiting for the guards, and 9 soldiers. In addition, Huang Jin, the eunuch who took the initiative to surrender to the People's Army, there were a total of 53 people.

There were not many people arrested, mainly because the People's Army was an assault operation and it was impossible to capture too many prisoners. Otherwise, hundreds of people could be captured in this battle, but everyone who should be arrested was arrested, so it can also be regarded as a very successful special operations.

At this time, the 35th Division of the 11th Field Army of the People's Army, which was responsible for the east attack, had all entered the vicinity of Sifang Railway Station and set up its command center at Sifang Railway Station. The 21st Division was stationed near Tongzhou to restrain the Qing army stationed in Tongzhou. At the same time, it controlled the Beijing-Tianjin Line across the board and had transported two trains to the Sifang Army to supplement the supplies.

After the special forces returned to the barracks, the barracks placed prisoners on the one hand, and immediately reported to Qingdao on the other hand.

After receiving the report from the Sifang Military Camp, the Qingdao Executive Yuan was also very happy because the capturing of Cixi and Guangxu was of great significance to the East China Government. Because it was very politically beneficial, it could symbolize the complete demise of the old dynasty; on the other hand, it could also allow the East China Government to replace the Qing court, which was more legitimate. If Guangxu made a notice of abdication, there would be no legal problem in the East China Government to replace the Qing court. Anyway, Guangxu was in the hands of the East China Government, so what was he asked him to say?

So the five giants of the Executive Yuan gathered together to hold a meeting to discuss how to deal with Cixi and Guangxu. Of course, one thing was first agreed that they should first ensure the health of the two.

Wang Yunpeng said: "Now that people have already caught it, so how do we deal with them in the future and will they be tried in a public trial?"

Qin Zheng said: "I don't think it's necessary. After all, they are different from the landlords. One is the empress dowager of the previous dynasty and the other is the emperor of the previous dynasty. The imperial power still has a considerable authority in this era. In terms of all, the Yehenara family did a lot of bad things, but the bad things she did were mainly concentrated on the national politics level, but few of them were directly used to the Broad House. Moreover, the Yehenara family is just an old lady now. Not to mention Zai Tian, ​​it is just a puppet emperor with a long standby. Both of them are more likely to win sympathy. Therefore, they are subject to public trials like Doudizhu and use our laws to punish them. This is like using the sword of the present dynasty to kill the officials of the previous dynasty. So it is better to transform them, and in the old time and space, there is a good precedent, why don't we learn?"

Xu Jichao said: "But I doubt that Yehenara and Zai Tian can be transformed well? I admit that the transformation of Puyi in the old time and space is indeed a successful example, but unlike our current situation, first of all, Puyi did not become the emperor for a long time, not counting the period of Manchukuo, but only 3 or 4 years, and he was just a child at that time; secondly, the Qing court in the old time and space was not destroyed by the New China, so Puyi would not hate the New China even if he wanted to hate him. In addition, Puyi had defected to Japan and was a traitor, and he was also a

He has long been no longer qualified to be an emperor, and it is easier to accept our transformation. Although Zai Tian is a puppet emperor, he has been a puppet emperor for more than 30 years. The concept of "This country is mine" has been rooted in it. Moreover, the Qing court was destroyed by us. At the same time, Zai Tian has never been a traitor. Can he accept our transformation of him? Not to mention Yehenara, she is a person who values ​​power more than life. Now she has become a prisoner at the bottom. Will such a person be willing to be transformed by us in his heart!”

Xia Bohai said: "I agree with Lao Qin's opinion, because the public trial does not have much benefit to us, and it is similar to the effect of directly killing them on the battlefield. Therefore, transformation is the best choice. As for whether they can accept our transformation and whether they can be transformed well, they cannot let them decide, but we have the final say. Only when we are sure that they have transformed well can they be considered to be transformed well. If they cannot be transformed well, they will be kept in the forefront. There will be no loss to us. Moreover, during this period, we can still issue statements and announcements to the public in the name of the two of them."

Qin Zheng said: "I think these two people are still likely to be transformed, because they are not the kind of people who can sacrifice their lives for their country. Otherwise, they would not be captured by us this time, but to commit suicide on their own initiative. Specifically, Zai Tian is not a person with a firm will and a tenacious personality. Such people are easily shaken. Secondly, he still hopes that China will become stronger and not be bullied. Yehenara's possibility is better than Zai Tian, ​​but her strength lies in her flexible mind, able to bend and stretch, so she will still try her best to cooperate with us on the surface and strive for better treatment for herself."

Xu Jichao nodded and said, "That's right, then where is the renovation location? Is it in Beijing or Qingdao?"

Xiao Jianjun said: "Of course it's in Qingdao, and they must be placed under our noses."

Qin Zheng shook his head and said, "I think it's better to stay in Beijing, because the transformation process must be based on actual conditions, so they will inevitably arrange to visit the people's situation and understand the sufferings of the people. Since it is the sufferings of the old era, the transformation has basically been completed in Qingdao. Obviously, there are no places for them to visit. There should be some in the outskirts of Beijing."

Wang Yunpeng said: "Then we can't just look at the sufferings of the people. We also need to understand the development and progress of society and the achievements we have made, so that they can know the difference between the old and new society."
