First Evolution (Initial Evolution) - Vol 13 Chapter 167
After seeing this scene, Wang Wu and the others who borrowed a knife to kill people couldn’t help but take a deep breath. When they entered the Prime Minister’s residence before, they were brought in by Fang Linyan with powerful props, so they did not have a clear understanding of the strength of the garrison here.
However, there is a saying: As soon as the expert makes a move, he will know if there is any. After witnessing the move of the guards who stayed here, he will know that the strength of this group of people is indeed very powerful! It feels like a machine, ruthless, ruthless, precise, performing its own duties, and working together to exert terrifying power.
In such a state of mind, Wang Wu couldn’t help but look back at Fang Linyan, hoping that he would finish the matter as soon as possible.
Those who can still stay here at this moment all put their life and death aside, but Wang Wu and the others are not afraid of death, but they also hope that their death will be of value, that they can die vigorously and be famous in history, and at least they must find a high-ranking official of the Japanese devil. Get into the water.
***
Fang Linyan’s retinal synchronization rate has increased to 49%.
He has now begun to get used to the state of being “parasitic” in other people’s bodies, and was surprised to find that there is a man named Tan Sitong in the hall.
Although this stubborn Hunan scholar has been rejected by both the imperial party and the later party at this time, he still shows the unique arrogance and stupefaction of the Hunan barbarians. Let the people present directly feel that their hearts are blocked.
The people who can attend are all high-ranking officials in the DPRK, and they all pay attention to the prime minister’s bearing. They can’t do things that make trouble unreasonably and scold them. However, every time Tan Sitong says a word, the face of Cixi above is darkened. Heart is very panic.
The old Buddha above has been in power for forty-seven years! The people present even included Li Gongzhang, who didn’t get promoted under her hands, who didn’t kneel in front of her and kowtow 180 times? This innate is going to lower one’s head.
In addition, this Lafayette’s political ability is first-class and strong. Relying on the advantage of being a woman, he will come when he opens his mouth to cry and cry. Once annoyed her, it is also possible to directly turn her face and act recklessly.
So in the face of Tan Sitong’s stubbornness, whether it was Shi Duo, Weng Tong, and the old man were all panicked and winked desperately at Tan Sitong.
But Tan Sitong, a barbarian from Hunan, had his temper, how could he be able to hold back a few glances? If you can resist it, then it is not the extravagant hero who can write “I will laugh from the horizontal knife to the sky, and I will save the two Kunluns.”
At this time, the synchronization rate on Fang Linyan’s retina also jumped directly to 50%. After crossing this hurdle, Fang Linyan immediately had a new experience, because at this time he had begun to feel some changes in Old Man Li’s body:
“Shit, my waist hurts a lot. I guess I’ve been standing here for too long, and I have suffered from diseases such as herniated disc/lumbar muscle strain. It turns out that Lao Li can bear it so much.”
“There is also something wrong with the cervical spine. This kind of dizziness is a hell.”
“what!
The place was still itchy and painful. Could it be that Lao Li got caught while visiting the kiln? ”
“……”
However, the benefit of the higher synchronization rate makes Fang Linyan’s information much clearer. Before, it was always hazy as if there was a layer of diaphragm, and the voice also had echoes. It was quite difficult to listen to everyone. It means half guesswork.
Now, the sound is basically in the ear and can be heard very clearly.
At this time, it was also the Chief Military Minister Shi Duo who spoke. A wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said earnestly:
“Empress Dowager Cijian, the emperor clearly saw that this morning, the minister received the news that the Japanese combined fleet is now severely damaged and can only protect itself. When encountering the Beiyang fleet at sea, it can only look at the wind and escape.”
“Nowadays, Nagasaki in Japan has also undergone sudden changes. The Japanese combined fleet rushed over in a hurry, and even the supply line from mainland Japan to North Korea is difficult to maintain. According to the analysis on the booklet, the Japanese army is already inactive water. A tree without roots, half of the troops are about to run out of food, and half of the troops are out of ammunition, which is simply not enough.”
Shi Duo can stand up and say this fair word, but it is not because of his integrity! But because the public opinion is boiling now, Shi Duo knows very well what kind of virtuous Cixi is. Once he really falls, as the chief military aircraft, he will definitely stand up and take the blame!
Shiduo can’t carry this pot, dare not carry it, even if this official doesn’t do it!
He has already earned enough in this position, and that’s what power is like. The military minister of the Qing Dynasty sounds nice, but if he has no soldiers, he is destined to be a grandson. As the saying goes, a staff officer doesn’t lead a leader, and farts don’t make any noise.
If he is not an official, he is unavoidable because of his **** status, but once he takes the blame, his reputation will be ruined, and he will bring disaster to his descendants.
In fact, both Li Gongzhang and Cixi underestimated the energy of the people at this time.
At this time, the wisdom of the people has already opened, and Fang Linyan and the others are not alone in their expedition to Japan. They have capital behind them!
To be precise, capital is the financial and business people headed by the Qiao family! And of course those who see their success and want to imitate it.
These people now have huge wealth, so of course they must subconsciously pursue greater power and a better reputation.
The expedition that Fang Linyan and them joined together was the first step in their quest for power! The successive victories achieved by the expedition were widely publicized by them to build momentum, and they took this as an opportunity to form the prototype of the consortium.
Therefore, at this time, several major private newspapers: Shenbao, Jiangnan Business News, Wanguo Bulletin, Practical News, Dajiang News, etc., were directly bought into two major pages. Many details of the expedition were published in various newspapers and periodicals led by the declaration.
Not long ago, these newspapers uniformly published a photo, that is the scene of the captured Japanese ship Yura docking in the port of Vladivostok. The Japanese ship name on the Yura is vivid in my mind, but the dragon of the Qing Dynasty is flying on it. flag!
This scene immediately hit the G-spot of the vast majority of people of insight. Looking at this photo, they burst into tears. The letters received by the newspaper were put out in sacks every day, and the amount of money and items donated, even a wealthy businessman like the Qiao family was surprised.
After many details were disclosed, the Chinese people were very much in favor of Song Yuren’s organization, the Qiao family and other banks, and finally hired Russians to fight. A copy of paying tenants to hunt?
After substituting Lao Maozi as a “tenant”, a sense of superiority suddenly arises.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Chinese people have been suppressed for too long. They were almost beaten to the ground by foreign powers, and all the bad news came, and even Japan, a younger brother who had to kneel down to China in history He also stood up and provoked, and it was even more indignant!
At this moment, an expedition force suddenly appeared!
Going straight into the enemy’s territory, burning, killing, looting, **** and looting (cough, these four words are brain supplements, teachers of benevolence and righteousness, that must be Japanese women who are born with silvery nature and take the initiative to seduce. The important town of the little devil has been directly taken down, the city is destroyed, the generals are killed, and the outer domain is prosperous. How can this not be very exciting.
The anger and grievances in the hearts of the Chinese people have been suppressed for too long.
More importantly, in this operation, there are still Russians, and the Russians urgently need to show their strength in terms of European powers, so they are also very active in advocating this operation, so the international community is also because of this. And got up.
In this way, although the Qing court has a great view on the expeditionary army and wants to make a stumbling block, the Qiao family’s businessmen are so shrewd, they have long predicted the old and stubborn actions of the Qing court, so it should be news. Publishing, newspaper printing, etc., were all placed in the Russian concession and in the Russian consulate.
Even when the newspaper was published, some Russians in the concession were specially hired to help escort.
“Sword Comes”
In this way, those officials in the Qing Dynasty were immediately dumbfounded. These **** have the support of foreign adults, so what else can they do?
Haven’t you heard that the gang of Rakshasa people with tall horses can beat even vicious little devils? It’s okay for the soldiers under Lao Tzu to bully and bully the common people. If they fight with these bastard-like bastards, it is estimated that once the order is issued, the camp will be bombed.
Forget it, just open one eye and close the other, as long as you can handle it.
Even if you can’t handle it, you will at most hate your boss for wearing small shoes, but if you act rashly, you might lose your life, and then you will be listed among the traitors by the angry people, which will be even worse.
If nothing else, Shi Duo was very clear at this time that the news of the peace talks was released two days ago, and it must have been the news of the sale from the people in the military aircraft department. Even he was questioned and said three Wan Liangqian asked him to buy the text of the secret contract in the rumor.
After the fermentation at this time, rumors are flying all over the sky! There are even words that Lafayette wants to deduct the iron-core crops of the bannermen to please the foreigners.
The Manchu court could use administrative means to shut up Song Yu and Tan Sitong, but it couldn’t stop the power of capital—in addition, the Qiao family had already tasted a huge benefit. How can they sit back and wait for their desperate venture to succeed?
The Russian finally smashed a left hook into the nose of Britain and France, causing the two old rivals to bleed from their noses.
Tan Sitong is Geng Jie, but he is also a political upstart. At this time, he is also a high-ranking person and can participate in national affairs. How can there not be a group of people around him? This expedition to Japan is also regarded by these people as the achievement of their faction .
Whoever wants to make this expedition have no good results will stand on the opposite side of them!
consortium,
Russia,
Politician…..
These forces that were originally lurking in the capital began to work hard towards one place invariably!
Now there is a lot of people in the capital. When I entered the Summer Palace before, I saw a large group of people gathered at the door, some wearing tops and official robes, some reading people in long gowns, some ordinary people in ragged clothes, and even There are also imperial clans with red/yellow ribbons tied around their waists.
Shi Duo also has a keen sense of smell in politics, so even though he knows that Lafayette doesn’t like to hear it, that’s it, it’s a big deal, no more officials!
Sure enough, Cixi above couldn’t hear what she wanted to hear, and immediately said with a livid face:
“One by one, they all shrunk down now, right?
Well, you are doing well! ”
“Get out! Get out! Get out of here!
Old Zhongtang, as well as the emperor and you guys stayed. ”
Although the military minister and others headed by Shi Duo were scolded, they felt as if they had been granted amnesty.
They are really tormented by this group of neutrals staying here, but they will not take the corresponding risks.
In the Ming Dynasty, there were ministers who educated their children, saying that the rule of survival in the imperial court was “a thousand words are worse than silence.”
After seeing the “neutralists” leave, Cixi looked at Li Lianying next to her.
Li Lianying, the eunuch, became famous entirely by figuring out what he wanted, and immediately said in a high voice:
“Everyone is thinking of fighting, right?
Now that the Korean defense line has collapsed, the Japanese have divided their troops into two groups. One is going north to threaten the ancestral tomb, and the other is going south and has already approached Shanhaiguan, which is only six or seven hundred miles away from the land of Gyeonggi. ”
“Now the Huai Army has reluctantly gathered up a few camps, UU read www.uukanshu.com, and you say that you want to fight, I ask you what to fight with the little devils!? These defeated generals, or you yourself what?”
“Besides, even if it blocks the small Japanese’s southward offensive, what about the northern ones? Don’t you know who the current Fengtian General Daku is? Since the age of sixteen, he started smoking opium and playing with his daughters and ruined it, you guys. Do you expect him to guard Fengtian and protect the ancestral tomb?”
It is said that Li Lianying has been grinding in this hall for five or six hours, and she has thought about this for too long. When she said it, no one dared to say it! Because there is no way to answer it.
If you accept it, you will have to take responsibility for the Japanese army to force Beijing, and the ancestral mausoleum to be frightened! This responsibility is to slaughter the family and kill the family.
To be honest, at this time, the only person in the hall who can stand up to refute Li Lianying is Li Gongzhang, who holds military power, but his current attitude was very clear when he knelt in front of Cixi three days ago… .
Seeing that the ministers were speechless, Li Lianying looked around proudly:
“If you want me to say, since everyone can’t do anything about it, it’s better to take advantage of the sea, and Nagasaki has a bit of bargaining chips. After stroking quickly, you can still be decent.”
“Wait until the real army forces the capital and Shengjing is attacked. If you want peace talks, it will be an alliance under the city, then you will have to bleed your blood and cut your flesh. Maybe the emperor will even punish himself!”
