2398 Danger is approaching
The intelligence analysis after the assassination incident made Zai Chun's show that it was Zai Chun's extremely dangerous situation. It turned out that the cavalry was divided into two rows and arranged left and right, but it was definitely not a suitable security measure.
However, before any emergencies occur, people's vigilance is very low, just like on the streets of Sarajevo, Grand Duke Ferdinand had obviously encountered an attack, but he was arrogant and still insisted on patrolling in a car. The final result was naturally that he died at the gun of Princip.
Of course, there is no medicine for regret in the world. Any sudden outbreak actually has a series of small things that seem subtle and unrelated, but they are strangely caused by some connection.
If Emperor Tongzhi did not open the black canvas carport, it would probably be difficult for the assassin to locate his position.
If Emperor Tongzhi did not allow the cavalry of the Imperial Guard to disperse and help the police maintain order, then at the moment when the assassination occurred, two small cavalry formations composed of twenty-five people could at least rush to his side and use war horses and soldiers' bodies to block the assassin's actions.
Even if Zai Chun did not have such a strong desire to show off and chose to close the window to speed up the carriage, then perhaps the entire assassination would not have happened at all.
But there are not so many ifs, and there are naturally invisible hands that turn so many subtle impossible into possibilities.
Zai Chun enjoyed the cheers and applause of British citizens with a smile. He was able to gain so many fans in a foreign country, which made the young emperor very proud. This is the most powerful people of the Sun Never Setting Empire in the world. They are cheering to me... the emperor of the Qing Dynasty!
It feels so wonderful, it feels so wonderful! But none of the citizens kneel down. It would be great if they all kowtowed to them. Everyone's faces were humbly crawling in the dirty mud and water ground.
How nice it would be to have a decent braid on their heads, that would be really happy.
Zai Chun, who pretended to be smart, said to Gordon, who was accompanying him, "The people are water, and the country is a boat... Water can carry boats and can also overturn the boats. Have you never heard of this in China?"
"Do you have to be kind to the people? Don't beat people with sticks when it's okay, you must also know how to manage the people!"
"Look at how good it is. Let the cavalry set out two lines and clearly tell the people that the restricted area is not allowed to enter within these two lines. Look... won't they rush forward?"
"If the people were beaten and lost my face because of seeing me, can you bear it?"
Zai Chun has really experienced it. His face was not blushing when he said lies. He obviously fantasized about these untouchables as slaves in the Qing Dynasty, but he still wanted to show Ren Jun's demeanor.
Gordon also had dealt with Qing officials and knew that he had to flatter him at this time. "Long live the wise, a kind heart is really rare. I believe that a hundred years later, the citizens of London will still feel your kindness when they recalled the days when His Majesty visited!"
"Hahaha... We won't fight for a hundred years, we have to seize the day! We will do a good job and try to run the Beijing Iron and Steel Plant and let the Qing Dynasty railways use their own railway tracks. This is your great contribution!"
"If you have merits, you will be rewarded. In the future, I will definitely reward you as a duke!"
"Long live thanks!" When Gordon heard that he could reward the duke with the steel plant, he could send a small flame in his heart sprayed upwards.
...
The steel mill in the East End of London is still far from the city center, very far away from the eastern suburbs. At this moment, Emperor Tongzhi and others did not even come out of the city. At this speed, it is estimated that it will be at least 10:30 am when they arrive at the steel mill.
A big man's thought would naturally cause the small characters to break their legs. The London Police Department sent more than 800 policemen to be responsible for the order along the way, but only so many people were not enough. They could only divide one or two people per 100 meters in key areas with a large population.
However, London citizens who knew the news in advance were very enthusiastic. Many people in the neighborhoods along the way, as well as villagers in suburban villages, were waiting early on both sides of the road, and everyone wanted to see the excitement today.
The East End of London was slums. At that time, the grand welcome ceremony of the Chinese people entering London was only a small number of people here who had the spare time to watch the fun.
Most people still have to be busy earning three meals a day, and they don’t have the time or the mood to see what the emperor in the far east looks like.
However, when they hear that the emperor is about to pass by his doorstep, this is another situation. Since they can see the excitement when they raise their feet to the doorstep, what are they waiting for? Watching the excitement is the common hobby of all mankind. If you can see the emperor of the mysterious Eastern Empire with your own eyes in this life, you will have the capital to brag for the rest of your life.
As a result, starting from the morning, the road began to gather around the surrounding residents in groups of three or three, and some of the police who maintained order were busy.
The UK is still very concerned about Emperor Tongzhi's security work. Loose outside and tight inside are the principles of security work. On the surface, they do not create excessive tension, but behind it they still have to guard against it.
After the local citizens gathered at seven or eight o'clock in the morning, the police began one by one. One group of police officers was responsible for watching the eyes and listening to all directions, and the other was responsible for searching for dangerous goods on citizens.
God knows that crazy man has a pistol in his waist, and a * hidden in that lunch basket! These hidden dangers must be eliminated in advance.
Police officers were dispatched from 6 a.m. to 8 a.m., until these police officers in the police department had never eaten breakfast.
No matter how good a person is, he will not feel good when he is hungry. Gradually, some policemen began to curse these damn Chinese people in dirty words.
"Bastard, don't enjoy your life in the West District. If you are full and have to come to the dirty and messy East District, these Chinese people have quirks..."
"Brother, I can't stand it anymore. Why don't I go to eat something later?"
The policeman who was searching for a girl reluctantly took his hand off his slender waist, looked at the girl with a flushed face and said with a smile, "Okay, you can go over... to eat? What are you thinking? There will be more and more people in a while. We are the two of us responsible for this hundred meters. Are you busy?"
"Besides, this is the suburb, where can I find a restaurant and a cafe? Hold on..."
At this time, the beautiful girl who had just been touched all over her body suddenly spoke with the lunch basket, "Sir, there are sandwiches that have just been made in the morning in my basket. If you can change me to the front position, I can give you half..."
"Oh! You are really our angel. Do you really have sandwiches? That's great. I will definitely arrange a front-line position for you..."
"Haha, thank God, bacon sandwich, cod sandwich, ham and egg sandwich... You are really my angel. There are not many people now, let's go to the woods to take a break!"
