In 1900, the Eight-Power Alliance launched an attack on Tianjin's Dagukou, killing Beijing in only two days, the front line was gradually defeated, and Cixi finally could not sit still.
She fled with the Guangxu Emperor and a group of pedestrians, and went to the back to borrow money from the Qiao family, and there was such a long story mixed in the middle, which can be said to be very exciting.
1. Cixi led a thousand people to flee in a hurry
You must know that this escape was not the briskness of Cixi alone with his entourage of guards, and when the danger came, everyone was not stupid, and no one was sitting there waiting to be slaughtered.
All the concubines in the palace wanted to run, cixi also arranged eunuchs for each concubine to protect them, as well as Cixi's blood relatives, mother's family and brothers, also had to be taken together, and also brought a part of the Janissaries to protect everyone, and all the people were gathered into a large team of a thousand people.
A thousand people ran together, and Cixi's safety was guaranteed, but they came out in such a hurry that they didn't bring anything to eat and drink, so how could the food of this thousand people be solved?
The group couldn't care about anything else, and fled all the way to Changping, but Cixi was so anxious to go out that she didn't even bring "Hefuzi", which is equivalent to our current ID card, the identity certificate used for passing out, you don't even have an ID card, how can you go so far?
Without identity credentials, just by your wild words, Changping Zhizhou naturally did not believe it, so he drove them out. The group really ran all the way without food, or relied on the local Huailaizhi County to help Cixi with five eggs, so that Cixi finally ate a full meal.
Then a group of people entered the territory of Shanxi, this plot was actually filmed in the movie, the movie in which the group can be said to be too difficult, all the way to escape the clutches of the Eight-Nation Alliance, but always suffered from the dilemma of no water and no food, so that the soldiers below were thirsty and could only drink horse urine.
In fact, after understanding the real historical facts, it can be seen that in fact, the movie still has an exaggerated component, and cixi's entry into Shanxi has been much better than before.
There was a shortage of water, but the officials tried their best not to make Cixi thirsty, the basic food problem was solved, the housing problem was not only solved by the officials, but also reached a level of luxury, and the palaces built were not only numerous, but also very gorgeous.
Second, Qiao Zhiyong's human feelings in the chaotic world
Speaking of Cixi fleeing to shanxi, although it was a full seat of the Manchu Han Dynasty and the construction of a palace, but in fact, Shanxi was not rich at that time, and even was experiencing drought at that time, and there was no extra spare money to support Cixi, so Cixi's men wrote to the Qiao family treasurer, and the qiao family owner heard about this.
Cixi came in person, although she fled here, but her Cixi identity was still there, so Qiao Zhiyong immediately prepared something to greet Cixi, but Cixi's eating and wearing here was not the same as not wanting money, and in desperation, the officials wanted to borrow some money from the Qiao family.
Qiao Zhiyong heard that not only did he not have any doubts, but he also increased the amount from 100,000 taels to 400,000 taels, which is not a small amount, and now the country is in turmoil, and it is uncertain when it will be gone, let alone whether the money can be returned. However, Qiao Zhiyong still lent it to Cixi without hesitation.
3. Refusal of reward to receive plaques
Later, Cixi wanted to repay him, but he resolutely refused. Only the plaque written to him by Cixi was accepted, "Blessing Lang Huan".
What do these four words mean? Lang Huan, Dong Tian Fu Di Ye, which means that this place is the place where Cixi lived, and the place where such a big person lived is naturally also the place where Dong Tian Fu Di lived. It can be said that it is a high praise.
In the chaotic world, there was no hesitation in relieving Cixi, and later he did not want Cixi's reward, this pattern can be said to be not ordinary. And this also reflects this ability and pattern of Qiao Zhiyong himself.
The country is in crisis, and the relief of Cixi can be said to be relief for the country, and what is easy to be ignored is that Qiao Zhiyong is a businessman, and the businessman is a person who only recognizes money in the eyes of the vast majority of people, but Qiao Zhiyong has jumped out of this trap of the world, because in his heart, there are many more important than money.
Therefore, whether it is the handling of this matter or in the eyes of the people, Qiao Zhiyong is a very kind person. In the year of famine, Qiao Zhiyong mixed good rice into ordinary rice and sold it to the poor to help them, which was very different from other merchants who only had money and even made a fortune in the eyes of other countries.
postscript
Therefore, a person's status and reputation are not only determined by the wealth in their hands, but also by their own way of doing things and their attitude towards the people.
This truth is also universal today, for people to live in the world is actually to focus on a pattern, the pattern of people small, the road is not far, more importantly, to always have a good heart.
