Rebirth of the Qing Empire

Zhu Di returned to Beijing with Kang Fan all the way. Although she was in high spirits, she saw that Kang Fan's business was urgent, so she did not make excessive demands. When they arrived in the capital, Kang Fan went to the palace to meet the Empress Dowager Cixi, and Zhu Di was waiting at the embassy.

However, Kang Fan's battle against the Japanese pirates in Tianjin was well known to the whole court. Therefore, as soon as he entered the palace, he was surrounded by many people who wanted to please and flatter him, and he was overwhelmed. After finally escaping, Zhu Di couldn't wait any longer at the embassy and came alone.

While waiting outside the palace gate, they happened upon a group of Boxers setting up an altar in the street to pray to the gods. Trouble came.

When the officers and soldiers of the guard camp outside the palace gate saw that Zhu Di was being entangled by the Boxers, they swarmed up and beat them all away with fists and kicks. Then they formed a circle to protect Zhu Di until Kang Fan left the palace.

Come out.

Judy lives in a small western-style building in the grounds of the U.S. Embassy. She shares it with several colleagues from the embassy. Judy's room is not big, but it has a kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. After some tidying up by Judy

, the room is filled with the unique style of an exotic woman, and it feels very special.

"Your country is in chaos now!" Judy said with lingering fear.

Kang Fan waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. I'm hungry. Should we eat Chinese food or American food?"

Judy smiled and said: "You have an American nurse, so of course you eat American food. How about steak and omelettes?"

"Of course. But I only have one hand that I can use now, and I can't hold a knife and fork at the same time." Kang Fan said with a grimace.

Judy said: "I'll feed you."

Kang Fan smiled, "Of course that's the best."

"I will raise you well." Judy said as she held Kang Fan's face and looked at it lovingly, "My parents hurt you, right? I feel very sad, with my parents on one side and mine on the other.

My love, I want you to get along harmoniously, but it seems impossible at the moment."

Kang Fan said nothing. He hated these racists, but he was facing Judy's parents. What could he do?

"I can't bear to let you go and I don't want to have a quarrel with my parents. I really don't know what to do." Judy said with a sad face.

Kang Fan smiled bitterly, "Aren't you doing it now? Anyway, aren't we together again?"

Judy threw herself into Kang Fan's arms and cried, beating Kang Fan, "Why did God let me meet you..."

"Because of those diamonds." Kang Fan smiled and took out a small brocade box from his pocket, "It's for you."

Judy wiped her tears, raised her face and asked, "What is it?"

Inside the brocade box is a dazzling diamond necklace. The 6 diamonds on the necklace are part of the bag of diamonds presented to Kang Fan by the King of Ethiopia. They were specially commissioned by Kang Fan to be given to him by He Shuikuan in a Jewish jewelry store in the Tianjin base.

Judy made this one custom-made. When I came to Tianjin this time, I originally wanted to ask Captain Li to give the necklace to Judy, but Captain Li refused to help. Unexpectedly, Judy came to China on her own.

"Wait until you see Judy and hand it over to her. That would make more sense." Captain Li said.

"Is this for me?" Judy was stunned.

"Yes." Kang Fan took out the necklace and helped Judy put it on seriously, "You could have kept these diamonds as your own, and no one would know. But if you insist on sending them, you are destined to meet me."

Judy's tears welled up again. While wiping away her tears, she looked at the mirror for a long time, cherishing it twice as much.

Kang Fan lay on his back on Judy's bed and closed his eyes. The wound was still hurting, and some battle scenes that had just passed clearly flashed before his eyes. The facts showed that this Jin army was very worthy of his trust, and his hard work was not

In vain. When the Jin army grows stronger in the future, he will be able to do many things he wants to do.

"A good shotgun!" Kang Fan muttered in his mind, and involuntarily took out the 92 pistol and held it in his hand, playing with it lovingly. As his heart was racing, his palms were already sweating before he knew it.

Judy suddenly turned around and asked, "Kang Fan, you must have something to do when you come to the capital this time, right?"

Kang Fan was stunned, "I've finished all my work."

Judy curled her lips and said, "Stop coaxing me. How can you, a busy person like you, accompany me so honestly?"

Kang Fan pointed to his injuries and said, "I have to recuperate."

"Can that injury prevent you from doing things?" Judy looked disdainful.

Kang Fan put on a grimace and said, "Why don't you care about me so much?"

"If I didn't care about you, why would I go halfway around the world to find you?" Judy asked.

Kang Fan was silent.

In fact, he had something to do, but it was hard to tell Zhu Di: After the 1898 Coup, the Empress Dowager Cixi wanted to depose Emperor Guangxu and instead install Pu Jun, the eldest brother of Duanjun Prince Zaiyi, as emperor. However, she was opposed by the Western powers and had no choice but to

Give up. Therefore, Zaiyi was extremely hostile to the Western powers and Emperor Guangxu, and once plotted to kill Emperor Guangxu, but was fortunately stopped by the Empress Dowager Cixi.

However, although the Empress Dowager Cixi saved Guangxu's life, she did not dare to fight against the Minister of Military Aircraft Gang Yi and the four brothers including Duanjun Wang Zaiyi, Dun Prince Zai Lian, Fu Guo Gong Zai Lan, Zhuang Prince Zai Xun, and a group of ministers such as Zhao who connived at the Boxer Rebellion.

The conservative forces led by Shu Qiao, Yu Xian, Dong Fuxiang, etc. came hard and were restrained everywhere. In order to achieve the purpose of expelling foreigners and controlling the government, this political force headed by Gangyi supported, developed, incited, and used the Boxer Rebellion as their

political tool.

Therefore, Kang Fan did not believe that the Empress Dowager Cixi's order to disband the Boxers would really work. The Empress Dowager Cixi dared to do so because of the strong support from herself, Shoushan, Nie Shicheng and others.

Although the Empress Dowager Cixi has issued the decree, it is still unclear whether it can be actually implemented in the Beijing-Tianjin area. Furthermore, several Han local powerful ministers such as Liu Kunyi, the governor of Liangjiang, and Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang, supported the troops.

Self-respect has repeatedly ignored the imperial decree and acted on its own. It is even more unpredictable to what extent Empress Dowager Cixi's order will be implemented outside Beijing and Tianjin.

Therefore, the main purpose of Kang Fan's visit to the capital this time was to support the Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu, at least to ensure that this purpose could be truly implemented in the Beijing and Tianjin areas where the Boxer Rebellion activities were the most intense, stabilize the situation, appease the great powers, and avoid the war of aggression.

"If it's not convenient, forget it. Don't leak your military secrets because of me." Judy said sourly.

Kang Fan shook his head helplessly, "You will see it eventually, and I don't need to say anything."

"I don't want to look, I just want to look at you." Judy smiled.

The steak cooked by Judy tasted very good. Kang Fan kept eating, but Judy was too busy to cut it. After the meal, the two rested in the house without going out. The capital was very uneasy now, and some Qing troops

The officers and soldiers were colluding with the Boxers and causing trouble everywhere. The situation was likely to get out of control. It was better to stay in the embassy area.

Kang Fan originally thought that he would never see Judy again after they parted ways in South Africa. During this reunion, the passion that had been sleeping in his heart was reawakened by the passionate Judy, and he could no longer suppress it.

And Judy also really felt Kang Fan's desire for her, and her uneasy heart when she first came settled down. Her eyes were filled with longing for happiness, the Boxers, the princes and ministers, the Empress Dowager Cixi, the embassy, ​​etc.

The President of the United States, etc., were all thrown into the Pacific Ocean, and they tried their best to be affectionate to Kang Fan.

The two of them were like Adam and Eve who had just eaten an apple by mistake, wandering in the Garden of Eden that suddenly became so beautiful that everything had nothing to do with them.

"Kang Fan, if you don't think of a way, we will be hungry." When Judy said this with a sad face, Kang Fan was still lying in bed, but Judy had already returned home from get off work at noon.

Kang Fan thought Judy was joking. He looked up and saw Judy wearing a crisp light gray suit. She had a graceful figure and light makeup. She had a unique style. He couldn't help but feel very interested...

Judy pushed him away, her pretty face still full of sorrow: "Kang Fan, please stop making trouble, I'm telling you the truth!"

It turns out that the chaotic situation in the capital has begun to affect the normal life of the residents. Those families of officials, such as He Shuixiu's mother-in-law's family who enjoy imperial salaries, are in good condition, but the supply of daily necessities for ordinary people has gradually become tight.

, and some profit-seeking traders also took the opportunity to raise the selling price and make a fortune from the national crisis. Over time, this situation caused widespread panic among the people in the capital.

Of course, due to the deliberate troubles of the Boxers, the embassy area where foreigners gathered was the first and most severely affected place. The German embassy, ​​which was in the worst situation, had been without food for 2 days. Although the American embassy originally had more reserves, after this

After a period of consumption, I can only last for another 2 days at most!

I have been too lazy to stay at Judy's place these days. I don't think about anything except Judy's beautiful body and delicious American food. I have really been an asshole!

Kang Fan immediately summoned the officers and soldiers of the guard camp, and began to drive back and forth between the suburbs and the capital every day, bringing the rice, noodles, meat, milk, eggs, vegetables, oil, etc. purchased from various places into the capital to maintain the relationship with the capital.

Judy's life, and even the daily needs of the staff in the entire U.S. Embassy. In this way, the huge internal space of the "Iron Horse" armored personnel carrier of the guard camp comes in handy.

Judy accompanies Kang Fan for shopping every day. Firstly, she can choose the things she likes with her own hands. Secondly, she can go out to relax after being bored in the embassy. And she also takes this opportunity to travel between embassies of various countries, while

He provided material assistance to the embassies of various countries while promoting Kang Fan and his Jin army, giving full play to his diplomatic talents. In a few days, Kang Fan became the great savior in the eyes of the Western embassy staff in Beijing.

Even the people in the Japanese embassy, ​​who had always been enemies of Kang Fan, had to temporarily restrain their hatred, and while shamelessly accepting gifts, they also adopted a cooperative attitude on the surface, which shows Judy's ability.
