In 1900, the Year of the Rat, the Qing Dynasty was actually on the verge of collapse.

He has been regarded as an ATM by the powers of various countries for decades, and the last drop of oil and water has almost been squeezed out.

After decades of exploitation, the people under the Qing Dynasty had already been extremely disappointed with the Qing court. The Qing court exploited the common people, the powerful people, and the Qing court, and for decades, there was only some slag left.

In fact, the great powers of various countries never thought of subverting the rule of the Qing court from the very beginning. China is so big, it is more troublesome to manage. It is better to collect rent every year and occasionally cut some meat to eat. What a great thing. Is there a government that is easier to control than the Qing court?

The great powers of various countries have always felt that Emperor Guangxu was a very good emperor. Because Guangxu was cowardly and bullied, he was willing to give money and territory. Every year, the lesson plans occurred across the country, and the Qing court asked for peace and compensation. What a good good baby.

However, Cixi was impermanent in character. Seeing that the powerful people burned, killed, looted, affected her quality of life. So in recent years, she began to indulge the Boxers to burn down churches and fight against foreigners. This behavior made the powerful people unhappy.

In mid-March, the warships of the great powers of various countries had arrived in the Bohai Sea and began to practice. In fact, by this time, the great powers of various countries were ready to attack the Qing court.

The Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 a few years ago deeply stimulated the hearts of many powerful people. They never expected that the Qing Dynasty was so weak.

After all, the Westernization Movement lasted for nearly 30 years, and the Qing court's warships and weapons were not particularly backward. Unexpectedly, they were vulnerable, beaten so badly by the little Japanese, and surrendered so simply.

Moreover, they did not expect that the Qing court was so weak that even a little brother like the little Japanese could claim 200 million taels of silver, and even the Qing court was willing to give military funds.

It turns out that you can still play like this. If you fight a war, you can not only get hundreds of millions of compensation, but also occupy various ports. Such a good thing, you can't fall behind.

So in recent years, a series of cedes of land and forced rents have caused the Qing Dynasty to leak everywhere. At this point, we must give the Qing court a big deal, and it is best to get hundreds of millions of silver to completely turn China into a colony. Then we will support a Qing court prince to take the throne. What a happy and good job.

At this point, these powerful people gathered together to discuss how to divide their own interests. Among them, Xiao Wuzi was the most active because they belonged to Asians and had similar cultural heritage. From the very beginning, Xiao Wuzi was salivating about the land of China.

As an island country, the country of the little Japanese was inherently deformed. The Huaxia next to it was rich in things and the decay of the Qing court was simply a time when the little Japanese was given a good opportunity.

It is enough to only control one or two provinces in China. However, the little Japanese in this era have just been working hard to strengthen and have a little bit of strength. Although they won the Qing court in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, in fact, the little Japanese were still as younger brothers in the eyes of the great powers. Therefore, if the little Japanese wanted to occupy the territory of China in the future, they had to draw Xu Zhi and not be too hasty.

This is what the little Japanese in history did. At the beginning, they supported the ambitious people in China, such as a "father of the Nation", who took the initiative to invite the great young people in China to study in Japan after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895.

At the same time, we have made friends with "friends" from the Chinese political and business circles. Before the little Japanese invaded China, the little Japanese invaded China, the "friends" of the little Japanese were spread throughout the Chinese political and business circles. Many warlords even had a background in studying in Japan, which also provided a good foundation for the little Japanese invasion of China in the future.

If the Sino-Japanese War of 1895 made the little Wozi feel that he had stood up, the Japanese-Russian War that a few years later completely made the little Wozi's self-confidence burst. Even the old Russian powers were not their opponents, it means that our little Wozi occupied China and ruled the entire Asia is the destiny of heaven!

Before the plan to attack the Qing court, the great powers also made many plans, such as assuring some southern provinces that they would only attack the Forbidden City in Yanjing this time. We would only teach the old witch Cixi a lesson and would not invade China in full. You can watch the show with confidence.

So the great powers signed a non-invasion agreement with the southern region, so the Southeast Mutual Protection Treaty was established in the southern area. Even if the bosses from several provinces announced at the same time that they would not participate in disputes between the Qing court and foreigners, we would not send troops to help the Qing court. By this time, in fact, the Qing court was already on the verge of division.

In the northern region, the new army, including Yuan Shikai, and the new army cultivated by the Qing court, were all ready to sit and watch the show. Many people wished that the Qing court would be defeated by foreigners, so that the south could be independent, and China could form a new division of forces, reshuffle, and divide power again.

In fact, the Qing court had no choice but to be slaughtered by others for the aggressiveness of the great powers. However, Cixi was still a little unwilling to accept that the officials of various provinces were unreliable, and the new army he trained was not reliable. What else could he do at this time? Are you waiting to die?

So they began to indulge the Boxers from all over the world to fight against foreigners. Some pro-war factions also seized the opportunity and boasted in front of her how powerful and awesome the Boxers were, and they were invulnerable to swords and guns. Everyone was a hero who fought against a hundred people. They were loyal to the emperor and loved Lafayette, which was absolutely trustworthy.

So a vigorous Boxer Rebellion began.

In mid-April, a large number of Boxer Rebellion's altars and a large number of unveiled posts appeared in the capital, especially in the middle and lower levels of the southern and northern cities.

You can hear people talking about the content of the Boxer Rebellion everywhere on the street, such as the God-assisted Fist, and the Boxer Rebellion, because the Japanese were in trouble with the Central Plains and advised to follow the teachings, they dominated the heavens and disrespect the gods and Buddhas and forgot their ancestors.

Men are incompetent, and Women's Day, the Japanese are not born by humans. If you don't believe it, look carefully, the Japanese's eyes will turn blue. It doesn't rain or dry the ground, and it's all the church that stops the sky!

The general content is that the evil committed by the Qing court over the years was all caused by foreign devils. When everyone was called on everyone to kill all foreign devils, the Qing Dynasty would have a good weather.

In short, under this situation, the situation in the capital was getting worse and worse. The Boxer Rebellion from several northern provinces had begun to gather and was preparing to fight all the way to the capital, kill all the foreigners along the way, and give the Qing court a bright and sunny day.

In fact, the biggest victims of the Boxer Rebellion were not missionaries, but ordinary people. All the "two devils" who believed in foreign religions were killed. In addition to those who believed in foreign religions, these two devils had purchased foreign things, took foreign trains, and even had the name of the shop with the foreign character, and they would burn and kill them. So the Boxer Rebellion began to enter the capital.

Faced with these Boxer Rebellion, the great powers were also very determined. You were limited to destroying these thugs within two months, otherwise we would be ready to send troops. But at this time, the Qing court had actually already known that if they were to suppress them, foreigners would eventually send troops, so they simply allowed the Boxer Rebellion to enter Beijing.

Baicao Hall in the Baicao Hall has only left some apprentices selling medicine since the end of March, and the warehouse is only enough to sell until July.

Other pharmaceutical masters and their families were picked up by Bai Jingqi after the New Year. Many people don’t understand what will happen next, so they don’t understand it.

But Bai Jingqi didn't need to explain anything to them. She has been following her own plan over the years.

In mid-May, Boxers from other provinces had begun to gather in the suburbs of Beijing, and several churches in the suburbs of Beijing were all destroyed. Faced with the serious situation, a French missionary named Fan Guoliang, the bishop of the Sishku Church in the capital, hurriedly asked the French Gongshi for help and asked the French Navy to enter Beijing to defend.

By the end of May, warships from various countries had arrived in Tianjin one after another and began to plan an attack on Tianjin. At this time, Cixi, who was in the capital, was completely panicked and shouted that she would not respond at this time. So she finally accepted the proposal of the pro-war faction and decided to accept the proposal of the Boxer Rebellion to fight against foreigners.

On June 6, Cixi announced that the Same Signature He Regiment had entered the capital. Several gates opened at the same time and began to allow the Boxer Regiment from all over the world to enter Beijing to serve the king.

On June 7, tens of thousands of Boxers flocked to the capital and began to smash, loot and burn. The people in the capital began to suffer disaster. Anyone who believed in foreign religions would be killed without mercy!

At this time, the great powers of various countries finally reacted. Cixi was determined, so on the tenth day, more than 2,000 Eight-Nation Alliance troops officially marched to the capital.

Seeing that the army of great powers was getting closer and closer, Cixi was completely frustrated at this moment and decided to set off a strong moment to officially declare war on the powers of various countries on the 16th!

The day after the declaration of war, the great powers captured the Dagu Fort in Tianjin, and the gate of the capital was completely opened.

At this time, the Qing soldiers also began to prepare to attack the ministers in the embassies of various countries in the capital. On June 20, the German minister Clinder was shot dead by the Qing soldiers, which completely aroused the determination of the great powers to march towards the capital and began to increase their troops.

At this time, there were very few troops that the Qing court could fight. Except for Nie Shicheng who was fighting against foreigners in Tianjin, the others could only rely on the Boxer Regiment.

So in early July, under the arrangement of Cixi, the Boxer Regiment was rewarded with 100,000 taels of silver, which was considered to completely igniting the Boxer Regiment's determination to sweep the ocean and support the Qing Dynasty. With the support of Cixi, tens of thousands of Boxer Regiments set out to Tianjin and began to prevent the great powers from entering Beijing.

At the same time, in the northeast of China, the Russian army began to march towards the three northeastern provinces. Along the way, several tragic massacres were committed. The Russian army's purpose this time was to occupy these lands. The policy adopted for the Chinese living on that land was to kill them all. As long as they were killed, all the contradictions would no longer exist.

The smoke of gunpowder spreads everywhere in northern China, but the southern region is as calm as usual. All provinces are moving small benches to watch the show.

Bai Jingqi has been busy these months. In these months, the Hei Family Army has eliminated forty-two fat sheep at designated locations. Most of these fat sheep are princes and nobles, and there are even some wealthy families. These people are all preparing to flee with all their belongings, and some hide their silver in their own cellars and vegetable gardens. These are all poached by the Hei Family Army.

In June alone, the Hei Family Army harvested no less than five million taels of valuable property. These harvests were all smuggled out of the city and went to the underground warehouses that had been prepared in the suburbs of Beijing.

In fact, in the capital, the Hei Family Army also had more than a dozen underground warehouses. Those warehouses are still empty now. Their real purpose is not these little fat sheep, but the big fat sheep of the Qing court.

Bai Jingqi's plan was very simple. He took advantage of the chaos and took advantage of the situation and started to harvest fat sheep of all sizes. In such troubled times, the fat sheep like to prepare to stock the silver in the cellar, which was all cheaper for the Hei Family Army. When the situation was completely uncontrollable, Bai Jingqi was preparing to make a bigger one. He wanted to rush to the foreign devils and rob the Qing court's money halfway.

The good show of Zhenzhen's dealing with foreigners is still behind. The Hei Family Army is good at assassination rather than an open battle. Bai Jingqi does not want to use bayonets to eliminate the elite troops of the Hei Family Army.

Bai Jingqi had already established an underground command room in June. Not only did there be telegrams, but there were also various medicines, and even bundles of new explosives. This new explosive is the famous TNT explosive.

In fact, there is already an explosive in this era that is several times the power of TNT, which is the famous picric acid explosive. Unfortunately, the picric acid explosive is too sensitive and not only is it too corrosive, but it will explode instantly when it is occasionally touched. It is unlike an explosive like TNT with a very stable safety.

In Tianjin, there are two warehouses of TNT explosives, which will be farewell gifts for the great powers, and will be sure to surprise the whole world.

Nowadays, the Hei Family Army's military factory has four branches, the Hei Family Army's military factory. In the past ten years, Bai Jingqi has invested more than five million taels of silver. The direction of military factory research has always been a small and beautiful strategy. Bai Jingqi does not need them to develop atomic bombs, but only needs to develop the best weapons for individual combat.

From daggers to pistols, to rifles and machine guns, and finally to grenade explosives, these are all research directions for military factories. Even the future of bulletproof vests will also be research directions for military factories. Most of these military factories are built in mountainous areas with few people.

The military factory is the future of the Hei Family Army, and the Institute of Drugs is the future of Bai's Pharmaceuticals. As long as these two future trump cards are held in your hands, even if the future falls to the bottom, you can quickly get up.

This time, the Eight-Nation Alliance entered Beijing. For the Hei Family Army, who had been tolerant, it is now the real time to perform. In the command room, Bai Jingqi formulated a combat plan.

He divided 1900 into three strategic stages. The first stage was to intercept the wealth of the great powers. Taking advantage of the chaos of the Boxer Rebellion entering Beijing, the Hei Family Army began to harvest the wealthy families who fled, as well as the savings of the princes and nobles over the years, including the families of the dead eunuchs in the palace, and all of them were to empty their family.

Even if you don't emptiate yourself, most of these wealth will be snatched away when the Eight-Nation Alliance enters Beijing. In addition to these private wealth, the Qing Dynasty's Ministry of Revenue and some departments have millions of taels of cash in warehouses, which are also the first strategic goal of the Black Family Army.

The more chaotic the situation is, the more you grab it!

The second strategic goal is to start assassinating the great powers after they enter Beijing, including the designated removal plan of the officers, and force the great powers to reach peace talks with the Qing court as soon as possible.

The third strategic goal, the last and the most cruel plan, is the Dead Soldier Plan. Bai Jingqi predicts that in this plan, thousands of Hei Family Army will be lost, but Bai Jingqi can't do it as he watches the great powers show their powers under his nose.

After the great powers reached peace talks with the Qing court and began to withdraw troops, the Hei Family Army would block their retreat, and several death traps would be set up along the way, and the great powers would try to force the great powers to withdraw troops as soon as possible. The warships parked in Tianjin would be their last death coffin. All the warships would be laid by the elite troops of the Hei Family Army to prepare for them for a long time.

This time, the Hei Family Army will make a name for the world, but Bai Jingqi does not want this reputation, because from now on, Mr. Hei Qi no longer represents someone, but an honorary title. Bai Jingqi also gave this title to Zhang Li, the chief of staff of the Hei Family Army in June. After this plan, Bai Jingqi will gradually withdraw from the leadership of the Hei Family Army, and Zhang Li will take over his position and rights.

In the future, he will also say goodbye to the identity of Hei Qiye and only retain the title of "Dragon" of the Hei Family Army. No matter how huge the development of the twelve zodiac signs in the future, there is only one title of "Dragon", that is Bai Jingqi. Only the real senior management of the Hei Family Army can know the true identity of the Dragon.

Bai Jingqi has been thinking in recent years that once the Hei Family Army does earth-shaking things in the future, once his identity as Hei Qiye is exposed, it will bring a devastating blow to Bai's Pharmaceuticals.

How to avoid all this, Bai Jingqi finally came up with a solution, which was to turn the identity of Hei Qiye into a code name, and Zhang Li would be Hei Qiye No. 2.

Of course, in order to prevent Zhang Li and his group of leaders from seizing power, Bai Jingqi also established an internal affairs department. This department is a department above the Hei Family Army and only obeys the command of the "Dragon". The members of this department, even Zhang Li and others, did not know it. Only Bai Jingqi knew it. They were hidden within the entire Hei Family Army.

In order to plan this layout in 1900, Bai Jingqi started to establish the Hei Family Army in 1885. It has been fifteen years since now. He cannot change this country, nor does he control a country's ambitions and capabilities, but he can change certain history based on his own abilities.

Let the century-old history of shame have a shining light. When the people of the future talk about this history, they will find the decaying late Qing Dynasty. There was a particularly awesome army, but this army was too mysterious and it is difficult to find the real insider in historical materials. The emergence of this army will also appear in the future history books of the great powers of various countries.

In 1900, on August 15, the Eight-Nation Alliance officially captured the capital. When the Boxer Warriors, who were originally invulnerable to swords and guns, all stopped and ran around, looming, only to regret that their parents had less leg.

When the sound of cannons outside the city was deafening, Cixi, who was in the Forbidden City, had reached this moment and fully understood that if she didn't run away, the group of foreigners would sooner or later take her close-fitting clothes as a foot cloth.

So on the morning of the fifteenth, Cixi did not hesitate to change into an old Han woman, and brought Emperor Guangxu, who was held hostage, to a carriage and fled to the west gate under the arrangement of the eunuchs...!

Bai Jingqi in the distance was riding a black horse with a smile on his lips. Seeing the carriage slowly heading towards the west gate, a guard of the black family army on the side couldn't help but feel confused and stepped forward to ask.

"Seventh Master, if you don't do anything, it's too late. When Cixi arrives at Ximen, there will be ministers and Qing soldiers there."

Bai Jingqi was laughing, laughing loudly, watching the red sun slowly rising in the morning, and said casually.

"Let them leave, I'm just witnessing history! Hahahaha!"

Bai Jingqi left with a smile, only the small carriage not far away, creaking towards the west gate...!

Bai Jingqi knew very well that whether it was Cixi or Guangxu, whether it was killing or capturing it, it would have no meaning to the Hei Family Army. Instead, it would make everyone look at the Hei Family Army.

The Hei Family Army is just a king who walks through darkness. The Qing court will sooner or later be destroyed. Keeping the Qing court controlled by Cixi can survive and breathe a sigh of relief. Once Cixi and Guangxu are gone, the Qing court will finish playing immediately. At that time, the bosses of various provinces will engage in warlord melee eras ahead of history, which is not what Bai Jingqi wants to see for the time being.

Whether it is the Hei Family Army or Bai's Pharmaceutical, its current strength is not enough to completely protect itself. It is what Bai Jingqi needs to keep the Qing court to survive for a few years.
