965 Anti-foreign and Annei
After Yang Zhi left, the meeting in the Yangxin Palace did not end. Li Lianying changed the princes to a cup of ginseng soup. This is not a false decoration, but this is the grace of the empress dowager. Everyone must drink it.
"It's not easy to get together. No matter how hard you work, we can discuss everything we need to discuss. If we are in a difficult situation, we can't be lazy even if we want to be lazy..."
After a few mouthfuls of ginseng soup, all the princes and ministers have recovered a little vitality. Or is it Yi? He picked his head and spoke, "Now the internal and external troubles of the country are coming, there are hundreds of thousands of Hunan troops in the south that are too big to lose, and there are also the East China Sea entrenched Xiao Letian and even His Majesty left the capital to travel around the world. This is a dilemma that the country has not seen in a century..."
"Looking at the external troubles, Zuo Jigao is still deeply trapped in Gansu and Shaanxi. The entire Xinjiang region has completely deteriorated. Not only that, the emergency military information sent by Heilongjiang General Tepxin ten days ago, the remnants of the east bank of the Ussuri River and the Russians have had several conflicts. It is said that several villages have been slaughtered..."
"What? What a bold courage..." Everyone was furious. After all, the Northeast was a place of dragon prosperity for the people, and the Ussuri River was the hometown of the Jurchens in Haixi. The Yehenara tribe where Cixi was located emerged here.
Eight years ago, the Russians took advantage of the situation to rob the land east of the Ussuri River. Although the court knocked down his teeth and swallowed blood, the anger in his heart has not subsided. Now the Rakshasa Kingdom still dares to kill the remnants of the east coast. This is really a shame and humiliation.
Seeing the atmosphere in the Yangxin Palace changed drastically, Cixi was probably going to be a bad place to say this topic quickly, "We must first settle the internal situation when fighting foreign countries. Let's discuss our confidants first. The war between the northeast and the northwest will slow down in advance, as long as the court is there, there will always be a solution!"
Everyone was helpless when they thought about it. Even though they were angry, they were really not the time to turn against the Russians. Even if they wanted to turn against each other, they would not be able to beat him. Everyone sighed in their hearts and shut up.
If external troubles cannot be mentioned, then we can only mention internal troubles. Now the Nian Army and Changmao within the Qing Dynasty have completely quelled, and Zuo Zongtang's army is suppressed by the rebellion in Gansu and Shaanxi. It is only a matter of time to solve it. As for the distant Xinjiang, it is also Zuo Jigao's problem.
What's more, the Great Wall defense system built by the Han people over the past thousand years is still there. As long as the Dunhuang Yumen in Anxi Prefecture is defended, the rebels will not be able to threaten the heartland of the Central Plains.
After thinking about it, Zeng Guofan and Xiao Letian are the most troublesome. Although Zeng Guofan is difficult to deal with, he always regards himself as a loyal minister. Moreover, the Han Confucian ministers have to be constrained by the title of righteousness of the monarch and his subjects, so the threat is not the highest.
The real opponent is still Xiao Letian!
But Xiao Letian is not a good-looking lamp. If Zeng Guofan is an old fox, then Xiao Letian is a little fox, and he is always slick and does not hesitate.
Ninety percent of the princes and ministers in the court still hope that Xiao Letian will be finished. Perhaps some people hope that he will die, while others hope that Xiao Letian will fall. However, no matter what Xiao Letian is like, people do not want such a force to exist.
This Xiao Letian is simply a ferocious black fish in the pond. His existence makes all goldfish and koi feel threatened.
Since it is a threat, it must be eliminated. However, how to eliminate it is really a huge problem. The court was defeated several times in a row, and even the Sijiu City was defeated. The Palace of Supreme Harmony has become a martial arts field for the new army. This shame still makes people feel full of fever when they think about it.
When Xiao Letian proposed to take Emperor Tongzhi away to study, the entire court could only cry and beg for this kind of method of resistance. It was a shame and a great humiliation!
You can't beat others in wars, and you don't have as much money as you can. You want to rely on Qingliu to conduct moral kidnapping, but you can't go to Ryukyu to point your nose and curse. After thinking about it, everyone was helpless. Xiao Letian put his power on the overseas Ryukyu Island, which was simply a stroke of magic.
After all, the Central Plains civilization is a mainland civilization. If you stand in the mainland circle, they have some ways to fight against you, regardless of whether it is soft or hard, but Xiao Letian jumped out of the Three Realms and was not in the Five Elements, and actually chose to take root in the sea. Now the court has no choice. The sea has never been the sphere of influence of the Chinese.
There was a buzzing noise in the Yangxin Palace. Some people said they wanted to lure the enemy into the depths, some said they wanted to build large warships to fight... Some even wanted to invite Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain and Tibetan lamas to open the altar to accept this monster. What's even more ridiculous is that they would reward the beauty of Lotte more and make him exhausted in the bed.
Listening to the uncontrollable discussion, Cixi, Yi?, Yihuan and others frowned, and their bitter faces were so old that they were still long. In the end, Prince Gong coughed twice, "Stop calm, don't deal with Xiao Letian, you can't deal with the Queen Mother. Don't forget that when Yang Zhi defected, if it weren't for the Queen Mother's plan, we would probably be defeated and wouldn't be able to find Bei!"
Yi? That's right. When Yang Zhi defected, the entire Ryukyu power was completely crazy. The total wealth involved in the printing formula of paper money reached tens of billions. The leak of the secret recipe was a huge blow to the Ryukyu's financial system. At that time, Ryukyu had even prepared a plan to face the 49 cities for the second time.
At the most critical moment, Cixi calmed down the scene. He was like a shameless shrew in the countryside, defeating the arrogant Xiao Letian with complete shamelessness.
You dare to touch a hair in the court? If you dare to do it, I dare to treason. Don’t you Han people love a unified China the most? I will break it up for you.
I admit that the Aguber regime is legal or not? Do you believe it? Do you believe it if I give Guangdong to the British? Do you believe it if I ceded Guangxi and Yunnan to the French? Do you believe it if I believe it if I ceded Guangxi and Yunnan to the French?
Isn’t it just a traitor? If I don’t let my mother feel happy, I will traitor and borrow foreign soldiers to beat you. I don’t believe that Xiao Letian is so powerful that he is an enemy of everyone!
This is really barefoot who is not afraid of wearing shoes. He is invincible when he is inferior! This punch really hit Xiao Letian's weakness. This time he went crazy, which forced Xiao Letian to calm down and make aggrieved and conduct financial negotiations with the Qing Dynasty. Half of the bond business was divided.
It was also the successful counterattack of Cixi that made his reputation among the Manchus soar. After the decline after competing with Ci'an, the two empress dowagers competed again.
Cixi pinched her long nail cover and stumbled on the table casually, "Tsk tsk...you guys, a group of men forced me and a woman to stand up. How embarrassed? Didn't they blush at all?"
