For example, those big guards who are responsible for royal security . The personal bodyguard who once worked under Empress Dowager Cixi was the real martial arts top scholar in the late Qing Dynasty.
Three of these bodyguards are the most powerful. Some can dodge bullets, and some can defeat Huo Yuanjia at the age of 53.
If you can enter the palace and become a guard, you must first pass the layers of tests. people who are cheating and flirting with flirting can't get away with . After becoming a guard, he was transferred to the side of the Empress Dowager and guarded him personally, he was even more talented.

The Qing government was too poor to afford to support the Beiyang Navy, but she still didn't blink her eyes when she spent money.
Whether it is , the royal family members of the Qing Dynasty, or the people of the people, there are many people who want to kill her in . Therefore, it is conceivable how high Cixi’s requirements are when it comes to choosing a personal bodyguard for herself.

895 War ended in failure, more people were dissatisfied with Cixi.
One of the reasons why the Beiyang Navy was defeated so badly was that Emperor Guangxu could not bear it and did not listen to Li Hongzhang 's advice, and insisted on going to war to help North Korea deal with Japan; another reason was that the problem of naval equipment .
The Beiyang Navy's warship were ordered from abroad at a high price, but over time, it is inevitable that it will be old, and the weapons on the warships are not as good as Japanese Navy . No matter how united the soldiers, it is hard to cook without rice.

Because of his reputation, even the warlords Zhang Zuolin came to invite him to come out and be the coach of Fengjun . When he saw Gong Baotian, Zhang Zuolin saw that he was short and didn't believe in his ability.
Gong Baotian said disdainfully: "You fire a shot and see if I can hide it."
