Several military ministers came to pay tribute to Empress Dowager Cixi Guangxu.
Li Hongzao said, "Lafayette Emperor Zhang Yi must be investigated. Look at what he has done to Fengtian. It’s outrageous to behave like this. People are all angry. Please ask Lafayette for an imperial decree!"
Guangxu flew into a furious rage and said, "Li Hongzao, don’t you hide your colleagues’ outstanding court prosperity?" Zhang Jian is as good as easy as Fengtian, and everything is going well, but you want to investigate Zhang Yi. Are you motivated? Is to open a mine and set up a factory in Fengtian. How big can that be? Many places in the country have started mining and setting up factories. Without these businessmen, where did our treasury money come from? "
Emperor Guangxu’s anger made Li Hongzao blush and Li Hongzao contradict him. "The emperor’s country is Aixinjue Roche’s country. We are all ministers and ancestors. We can’t move the inheritance of Zhang Yi. Besides mining and setting up factories, we have to start a new school to introduce the western constitutional monarchy theory. He is ulterior motives. The Qing Dynasty and the West are completely different. Now he declares his country and fights against China, but he fights against the Qing Dynasty." I just think he is disloyal! "
Emperor Guangxu was livid and didn’t expect Li Hongzao to dare to speak directly against him!
Cixi mused and said, "Lan Sun, you don’t make sense. I heard that Zhang Jian is going to build Fengtian University, but hasn’t it been built yet?"
Resolutely said in the previous step, "The Queen Mother of Galeries Lafayette has already established a Mukden armament school."
Some officers’ department sent them to the armament school for further study, and at the same time personally took charge of the instructors’ first lectures. He said that this is the main point, that is, introducing the theory of western powers to inspire people. "
Cixi’s face changed and asked, "Is fortitude serious at this time? Zhang Yizhen’s armament school personally teaches such courses? "
Resolutely replied, "Lafayette is true, Lafayette, hello, think about it. Zhang Yi’s hand army has come to be the most elite fighting force in Qing Dynasty. Now, after studying in armament school, I heard that Zhang Yi hired the best military instructors in Germany, so that his military forces will be more powerful; Moreover, Zhang Yi has vigorously reorganized armaments in the past year, and all the more than 30,000 green campers in Fengtian have been incorporated into the Korean law for training, and all the old, weak, sick and disabled departments have been laid off. Now that 50,000 mighty divisions have been formed, where can an army compete in Qing Dynasty? Even Li Hongzhang’s Huai Army is not an opponent. It is born in Beiyang, and Li Hongzhang is closely served by Li Hongzhang’s mentor. Together, it will be more than 100,000 troops plus Beiyang Navy and half of the elite department of the Qing Dynasty. Once two people are disloyal, what will the court do? "
Even Emperor Guangxu has changed his face. Even if Emperor Guangxu is favored by Zhang Yi, he will never let him threaten the emperor. Now even Emperor Guangxu is hesitant.
Cixi sighed, "It’s a pity that talents like Zhang Jian have become resolute Li."
Hong Zhangxin, I am a quality. He will never rebel. Shao Quan is from Wenzheng’s official document. The most important thing is loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, honesty and shame. Shao Quan is the most affected. If he has second thoughts, what if Master Ken repeatedly suppressed him and let him take himself out of Beiyang? You know, when the Huai Army was the strongest, it had hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but only 50,000 to 60,000 people have been abolished over the years. So don’t doubt Shao Quan’s loyalty to him. I know that we can’t do without Shao Quan. Without him, how can we cope with frequent persecution by the powers? "
After a pause, Cixi then said, "Do you think about Zhang Jian’s mourning for his family?"
Aside Li Hongzao said, "Galeries Lafayette, now our new army training has become a loyal country of Li Hongzhang. Then we still have the strength to subdue Zhang Yi and we don’t have enough financial resources to support him to rebel if we don’t start work now. Once he is full-fledged, it will be a real menace."
Cixi flew into a rage and thundered with her right hand, "investigate and investigate!" Li Hongzao, you know how to investigate! Nowadays, Russia is keeping a close eye on the outside world, and it is possible to embezzle the three provinces at any time. Korea and Japan are eyeing up at any time, thinking about revenge last year. Who has investigated Zhang Yi and who has been guarding the frontier? Who can resist the Russian-Japanese Tiger and Wolf Division? Will you go abroad to resist the enemy or let the Aiguhuang use personal expedition in case of turmoil?
When Cixi flew into a rage, everyone quickly fell to their knees. They dared to contradict Guangxu because there were some things behind Cixi, but where did they dare to contradict Cixi? Once Cixi was angry, no one could protect them.
As far as they were concerned, a little eunuch whispered outside when Empress Cixi was discussing the matter, "Lord Li Hongzhang, the old prince of Galeries Lafayette, has come outside to wait for an audience."
It turned out that Li Hongzhang went out of the palace door and rushed directly to Prince Gong’s house.
Li Hongzhang’s position is high and he is always on good terms with Prince Gong, the first prince of the Qing Dynasty. He seldom shows up until something particularly important happens. His prestige in the royal family is really a word, and no one can win him except Cixi.
When Li Hongzhang saw Prince Gong, he described the whole thing in the early morning to Prince Gong. Prince Gong’s eyebrows were tightly knit. Li Hongzhang said, "Report, you’d better take an idea. You and I are both old and old, and now the talents in the DPRK are dying. Once we are in a hundred years, there must be a capable minister to help the emperor. Otherwise, the powers will wait for us. How can we support the future of Qing Jiangshan to go to Li Hongzao? They are so ignorant to know. Party struggle to suppress dissidents is not a small disaster. "Prince Gong meditated silently for a moment before saying," It’s easy to say that little Tsuen Gong is only involved in illegally mining and setting up factories to suppress dissidents and violate his ancestors.
We can cover up the past with Zhang Yi’s ability, and we also need to mine and set up factories. It’s not a sin, but a great achievement. Once it comes to parting, we will be in trouble. Now, in military department, except for you and me, all conservatives are on duty, and it’s really hard for us to resist … "
Chapter two hundred and seventy-six Empress Dowager Cixi’s wrath
Li Hongzhang said in a hurry, "No matter what, we must protect Zhang Jian. After we are old, the Qing Dynasty will count on him. We can’t ruin the future Qing Dynasty pillar because of this group of waste. Are you still counting on Li Hongzao to fight in the south and north because of the invasion of foreign powers? At that time, Tongguang Zhongxing was supported by Wen Zhenggong, you, me, Zuo Zongtang and Shen Baozhen. Do you think there are any rising stars in this Qing Dynasty? "
Prince Gong said, "Don’t worry about such a thing. Zhang Yi, a government official, has made great contributions. The court people won’t be easily investigated. Where are your usual moods?"
Li Hongzhang said in a hurry, "The old prince is not impatient, but now Li Hongzao has led a bunch of military disciplines such as fortitude and has entered the palace. If Lafayette and the emperor don’t promise them, they will never give up."
Prince Gong hesitated a little. After listening to Li Hongzhang’s words, he finally made up his mind and said, "So little, this time, we will fight for our ancestors to stay in Jiangshan. We can’t let these talents give us harm! We’re going into the palace! "
Two people packed up a thing and hurried from Prince Gong’s house to the palace to ask to meet the second palace.
The two entered the palace and their luggage towards Empress Guangxu of Cixi was finished.
Cixi said, "Old Six, you usually don’t come to this palace?"
Prince Gong bowed down and said, "Huang Sao’s old minister rested at home because Li Zhongtang hurried to the house. I told the story of the early dynasty. I heard that the audience heard that the courtiers and the generals of Shengjing, Zhang Yi, demanded to investigate and deal with Mukden’s arrest of Zhang Yi back to Beijing. The worry in my heart was to ask Li Zhongtang into the palace."
Cixi sighed and said, "Old Six, you have always had a high prestige among the royal family. Just as the mourning family wants to inquire from you, do you think the early court affairs should be handled like this?"
Prince Gong replied thoughtfully, "Huang Sao, now I’m a talented person in Qing Dynasty, and I’m Li Zhongtang, too. Young talents in the DPRK are rare. Now it’s hard for Zhang Jian to be born in Qing Dynasty to resist foreign aggression in Northeast China. If we investigate and deal with the current situation, it’s not that my relatives are in pain and my enemies are quick to get Zhang Yi convicted and punished. Once Russia comes back, which adult can command the elite soldiers to resist the strong enemy? Moreover, Zhang Jian’s opening mines and setting up factories in Fengtian is just a place where people’s livelihood is strong. I heard that Zhang Jian paid more than one million yuan in taxes from the imperial court in just one year. I am afraid that no province except southeast provinces can pay such talents. Isn’t that what we lack in Qing Dynasty? Zhang Nanpi is now mining and setting up a factory in Huguang, and even building an arsenal. If Zhang Jian is convicted once, I’m afraid that Zhang Nanpi is going to have an operation and ask questions. "
Cixi sighed and said, "Old six mourners don’t think so in their hearts. Less Tsuen Wan has already opened mines and set up factories. The west has been full of smoke. It is nothing strange, but now Li Hongzao has to report and illegally sell mines to Germany and the United States. It is indeed a bit too big not to report such a big thing."
Prince Gong replied, "It’s a bit excessive to sell the mine to other countries without informing the imperial court, but it’s hard for Zhang Jianlai to be in his twenties, and it’s hard for him to neglect the laws and regulations of the imperial court. Can the emperor reprimand him and make a big move?"
Cixi replied, "Old Six, you said that it really makes sense. It’s just the other person’s fortitude. Zhang Yifeng started to teach the western political system. It’s hard to say that Zhang Yifeng’s whole army has gone against his heart. Now Zhang Yifeng’s troops of 50,000 tiger and wolf divisions have been strengthened in Beiyang, which really makes the DPRK’s important officials feel at ease."
Prince Gong turned his eyes to Li Hongzhang, but Li Hongzhang didn’t tell him the news. Li Hongzhang’s face was bitter. This must be that Li Hongzao and others have just turned their backs on Cixi Guangxu. After a long talk, if Zhang Yibing really wants to rebel now, just tens of thousands of troops in Beijing can’t help Zhang Yi playing!
Li Hongzhang replied in the previous step, "Galeries Lafayette has just been resolute, and adults have played Zhang Yiyou’s betrayal. It is a matter of discussion. If Zhang Yi really rebelled, who can be a tens of thousands of tigers and wolves?" Anyway, Beiyang, the veteran minister, can’t resist him. His hands are all from the Korean battlefield, and his elite fighting power is far from being comparable to that of the Huai army. Now, instead of rebelling, he is the first to pay the Fengtian tax double to the court. Isn’t this an expression of his loyalty? Even Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Huguang and other rich places have never paid the tax silver on time and in full every year. "
Resolute sneer replied, "Li’s adult is more suspicious because Zhang Yi paid Fengtian tax silver multiple times before! Besides, he also killed so many Manchu relatives. These are all powerful people who overstep their duties. It is a felony. Am I wrong? "
Li Hongzhang thundered, "Is it true that I am loyal to you if you are resolute and insist on paying the imperial tax? You are turning black and white to point to deer and horse!"
Cixi had a headache and even said, "okay, okay, don’t compete. Don’t make trouble. Where is the minister’s dignity?" Emperor, do you think this matter should be handled like this? "
Now Emperor Guangxu is hesitant, and he doesn’t know what else to do. Where did he decide to murder Cixi?
Guangxu Nai said, "I’d better ask dear dad to make the decision if I meet too few young people in a big battle."
Cixi snorted coldly, "It’s not a way to go like this. Go to the post of General Zhang Yi Shengjing. The Ministry of Military Affairs still holds the title of Prime Minister and Deputy Minister Beiyang of Yamen. Call Zhang Yi to return to Beijing to report on his work. Just when the German emperor invited us to appoint dignitaries to visit Germany, then ask Zhang Yi’s envoy to take her back to the classics and lead a mission to the western countries to recover the mines obtained by Germany and the United States. This is the tomb of our ancestors. It’s better not to move."
Empress dowager cixi took tens of thousands of soldiers from General Zhang Yi Shengjing in one sentence, and then appointed the Ministry of War to be promoted to the next level. At the same time, the deputy minister of the Prime Minister’s office was still in full swing!
Even Prince Gong of Li Hongzhang secretly lost a glass of wine to release the soldiers, so powerful, old lady!
Chapter two hundred and seventy-seven Prince Gong is worried
But even so, Prince Gong of Li Hongzhang can’t just stand by and ignore the fact that the recovery of German and American mines will inevitably lead to international disputes. Maybe a big war will not pay off.
Prince Gong quickly said, "The emperor’s wife can’t. Zhang Yi didn’t dare to make a mistake, but it’s not a joke to recover the German American mine. Now two big factories have made great efforts to build it, fearing that both countries have invested millions of taels of silver. How can they promise that once they turn against each other, it will be a big war, that is, we will lose more than we gain?"
Li Hongzhang also hurriedly chimed in, "Galeries Lafayette and the old prince have a point. So recovering the mine will inevitably lead to international disputes, and even it will be difficult to end a catastrophe peacefully."
Cixi frowned and said, "Is it that serious? Old six little tsuen you alarmist! "
Li Hongzao aside also said, "Galeries Lafayette Putian Murphy Wang Tubin Murphy Wang Chen this day is why let’s Qing hand over the mine in vain, even Germany and the United States should be reasonable."
Prince Gong nu way "Li Hongzao, you know what a fart, you will know that running your acre of land involves international struggle. Don’t talk nonsense, one careless move will get me into the fire and water! You, Germany and the United States, have hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and even millions of ships. If this incident really causes trouble, we will lose a lot. Maybe it was the British and French disaster! "
Cixi was shocked and asked, "Is Lao Liu really that serious?"
Prince Gong replied, "The emperor’s sister-in-law westerners are mercenary. Now they have invested millions of taels of silver in Fengtian. What if we forcibly take back the mine?" Are we going to pay for it? I’m afraid those investments will be nearly 10 million taels of silver together. How can we afford to pay for it? If we don’t lose money and insist on taking it back, isn’t that tantamount to declaring war in disguise? Are these powers thinking about invading us again to gain benefits? Or have they been unable to find a good excuse? Doesn’t this mean that we invite them to send troops to fight us? "
Cixi is also in a state of terror. If we play like this and let the powers call in again, it will not be possible to get things done by paying millions of taels of silver.
Cixi mercilessly stared at Li Hongzao, heart way is you an old guy for things, this is not go looking for trouble?
Cixi said, "Well, let’s hand over the two mining areas to Germany and the United States according to Prince Gong’s wishes. Never allow them to open mines and set up factories elsewhere."
Resolutely, he said, "Galeries Lafayette Zhang Yi committed such a big felony. Is it so easy to let it go? This, this decency? Galeries Lafayette … "
Cixi nu way "resolute what do you want? Do you still want to let the emperor directly order death? Zhang Jian’s hand has tens of thousands of tigers and wolves, but the division has pushed him back. Don’t you go to the mountains and seas to block it? A bunch of losers! Don’t you have any brains? "
