Just when the Qing court and his party entered the Daming Mansion of Zhili from Henan, dozens of missionaries suddenly appeared in the middle of the official road. They were wearing black robes and felt hats in a long robe, almost completely covering their faces. However, the three or four people in the leaders did not wear felt hats, revealing their hair colors of different colors. They were indeed like foreigners, and they were holding several crosses, blocking the Qing court's convoy's way.

The Qing court's convoy and the officers and soldiers under Song Qing escorted stopped moving forward, but no one dared to step forward. Although this era was different from the old time and space, the Qing court did not sign the [Xin Chou Treaty] that was to lose power and humiliate the country, nor did it give up a large number of national lords, but the fear of foreigners did not change much. Everyone knows that the Gengzi State Change was caused by the lesson plan. Now a group of foreign priests are in front. If there is a conflict, it may cause international disputes.

So the soldiers flew to Song Qing and asked him to deal with it. Song Qing did not dare to provoke foreigners. Although he followed the People's Army to defeat the Tsarist Russian army that advanced south while he was in Shanhaiguan, almost all that battle was fought by the People's Army. Song Qing just followed behind and picked up some bargains, but there was no People's Army here now.

Moreover, after the fight, Song Qing also knew that the court did not like overseas Chinese very much. Although he praised his troops to come to protect the troops, he did not mention any words about guarding Shanhaiguan and defeating the Russian army. Song Qing was also an old driver in the officialdom, so he didn't understand what was going on. Therefore, he tried his best to distinguish his relationship with overseas Chinese. At this time, he naturally did not dare to carry overseas Chinese out to suppress foreigners.

But it was not a solution to be stalemate. Song Qing sent a soldier to ask, but the foreigners ignored it at all. A Chinese priest said that the master wanted to see the queen mother and had something to say, and he didn't want to talk to you.

Song Qing had no choice but to go back to Cixi in person and ask the Empress Dowager to decide. After hearing this, Cixi thought for a long time and asked if there was any other way nearby to take a detour. After learning that there was a path to take a detour, Cixi decisively ordered to retreat and change to the path.

After hearing this, the soldiers who were confronting the priests turned and retreated one after another. But at this moment, a row of gunfire sounded suddenly among the priests. At this time, the Qing army was facing away from the priests, and no one expected that this group of missionaries would dare to take action, and dozens of people were killed and injured. When the other Qing soldiers woke up, countless people wrapped in red scarves and red belts appeared in the woods on both sides of the official road, each carrying swords, guns and weapons, and rushed into the Qing army.

Only then did the Qing army see clearly that the Chinese were killed, and the priests took off their outer robes, showed their tight-fitting clothes, and rushed towards the Qing soldiers with bayonets. It turned out that except for the 3 and 4 leaders, the others were all dressed in Chinese.

Although the Qing army had already understood, the spirit was taken away at this time and the formation was disrupted by the other party. Moreover, the group of people fought bravely and bravely, unlike ordinary bandits. There were also many people, hundreds of people, including dozens of people equipped with rifles. One of them was a big man with a large ring knife in his back and a bayonet with a rifle. He was extremely brave and very skillful in stabbing a Qing soldier in just a few strokes. Later, the bayonet was dismantled, and he pulled out the large ring knife behind him, which made him move like the wind, killing only the heads of the Qing soldiers and countless injuries.

After more than ten minutes of fierce fighting between the two sides, the Qing army finally couldn't stand it and had to retreat one after another. The big man chased the Qing army with dozens of people holding rifles, and chased them dozens of feet in a row. Someone behind shouted: "Brother Li, Brother Li, don't chase the poor enemy, don't chase the poor enemy."

After hearing this, the big man stopped and looked at the direction of the Qing army's retreat. The big man in charge spat fiercely and said, "It's easy for you, let's go."

The group returned to the battlefield and the war had ended. At this time, other ambushers were clearing the battlefield and picking up the rifles and bullets dropped by the Qing soldiers. Several people came up to meet them. The man said, "Brother Jing, how are you? How many of our brothers have been killed?"

It turned out that this man was Li Zhuangyong, and the person who spoke to him was Jing Tingbin, Zhao Sanduo and others. Jing Tingbin said, "Fortunately, I just looked at it. There were not many brothers who died, and there were only about 10 people. This game was really beautiful, thanks to Brother Xia's good idea."

Li Zhuangyong also nodded and said to someone beside Jing Tingbin: "Yes, this time it's really thanks to Brother Xia, but it's a pity that I was unable to kill that old witch in Cixi."

Brother Xia is a man about 45 years old. He has a leopard head, thick eyebrows, long eyes, long beard under his chin, and a bit of bold and chivalrous spirit. He said, "There is nothing to do with you. I am not able to kill the old witch Cixi this time, but it is enough to scare her courage. However, it is better not to stay here for a long time, so it is better to leave as soon as possible."

It turns out that this person's name is Xia Sigong, also known as Shouhua, and his courtesy name is Zhuochun. He is from Zhaizi Village, Wutan Town, Taojiang County, Hunan Province. He has inherited the theory of conscience from his family since childhood. He entered Yiyang Longzhou Academy at the age of 20 and Yuelu Academy at the age of 24. He was a famous scholar, a scholar of martial arts, and was a hero who practiced martial arts. He was a young man and a scholar of both civil and military affairs. He was both knowledgeable and a knight in the world. He often took it as his mission to save the country. He also had contacts with famous scholars in Hunan at that time, Tan Sitong, Tan Yankai and others.

After the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Xia Simin hated the corruption and incompetence of the Qing government, so he began to engage in anti-Qing revolutionary activities. In 1900, Tang Caichang, a patriot of the independent association, Qin Lishan was instigated in Hankou, Xia Simin instigated his fellow villagers, and the imperial envoy trained the Hu Zuyin to respond to the uprising. As a result, Tang Caichang, Qin Lishan was defeated and killed. Xia Simin traveled to Japan, while taking refuge, while seeking a way to save the country. During his time in Japan, Xia Simin made friends with many revolutionaries, and had dates with Sun Yat-sen, Song Jiaoren, Huang Xing and others, and his thoughts gradually tended to revolutionize and save the country.

During the Gengzi Rebellion, Xia Simin was extremely indignant at the Qing court's rebellious behavior of selling the country and seeking peace. He returned from Japan in anger. He sneaked into Xi'an through Shanxi and Henan to assassinate Cixi. However, Cixi's defense was very strict and he had no way to start the assassination. The Qing court set off from Xi'an and returned to Beijing. Xia Simin followed the Qing court's return journey and continued to look for opportunities to assassinate, and also looked for like-minded companions.

In Daming Prefecture, Hebei, Xia Simin accidentally made friends with Jing Tingbin, Zhao Sanduo, Li Zhuangyong and others, and proposed the plan to assassinate Cixi, which was also fully supported by Jing Tingbin and others. Because of Li Zhuangyong, he was determined to avenge the brothers of the Boxer Rebellion in the past. In addition to foreigners, the Qing court also had the Qing court. When Li Zhuangyong fled from the People's Army, on the one hand, the time travelers made peace with various countries, and on the other hand, they also accepted the invitation from the Qing court. Therefore, Xia Simin proposed to assassinate Cixi, which of course was exactly what Li Zhuangyong wanted.

Now the uprising of Jing Tingbin, Zhao Sanduo and others has grown to nearly 15,000 people, occupying the three counties of Guangzong, Julu and Pingxiang. However, most of the forces participating in this uprising are franchise-oriented. Therefore, these three counties have actually formed three hills and are in charge of their own affairs. However, Jing Tingbin and Zhao Sanduo get along well and can still cooperate with each other.

This time, the assassination of Cixi, Jing Tingbin and Zhao Sanduo decided to join forces and planned to take action in Shunde Prefecture. Because Jing Tingbin and Zhao Sanduo had a large number of people, with their assistance, not only would the chance of success be much higher, but there were also many more options for the hands-on method.

Xia Simin was originally a resourceful person, so he decided on the plan for the whole body. First, he chose a dense forest area to ambush the Qing army. At the same time, Xia Simin also came up with a trick, which was to use Li Zhuangyong's musket team to pretend to be a missionary, block the Qing army's road on the official road, and demanded to meet Cixi. If Cixi really showed up, she would immediately shoot at Cixi and kill Cixi.

After hearing this, everyone thought Xia Sigong's plan was very good. Because the missionary's clothes were very wide, they could not only hide a rifle, but also wear a felt hat to cover their faces, making it impossible to see.

Now Jing Tingbin and Zhao Sanduo have combined more than 8,000 troops. Li Zhuangyong carefully selected and selected more than 700 strong brothers who had practiced for a few years. In addition, his musket team, there were more than 800 people. Li Zhuangyong also managed to capture several real missionaries to reveal their true faces and stand at the front of the team, which would make it more realistic.

As a result, the Qing army was really scared, and no one dared to come up to drive it away. However, everyone did not expect that Cixi was even more cowardly than they thought. Not only did they dare not provoke foreigners, but they also planned to escape and instead walked around the path, so they had to launch an attack, which defeated the Qing army. Although they failed to assassinate Cixi successfully, they could only breathe a sigh of relief.

Moreover, the Qing army dropped a lot of rifles and bullets, which naturally became the spoils of Jing Tingbin, Zhao Sanduo and others, which could greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the rebel army. However, Xia Simin was calm after all. Although he had won a battle, these were the places of the Qing court after all. His army was alone and he must not stay for a long time. So he urged Jing Tingbin and others to retreat quickly.

At this time, Jing Tingbin and others were very respectful to Xia Simin and knew that this place could not be kept for a long time, so they decided to retreat back to Guangzong County immediately. So Li Zhuangyong immediately ordered the gathering of the team and shelter the bodies of his companions and quickly withdrew from the battlefield. Xia Simin also praised Li Zhuangyong's command and organizational ability. Although this action was planned by Xia Simin, Li Zhuangyong was entirely responsible for the execution of the whole body. Such success was inseparable from Li Zhuangyong's execution ability.
