968 Who is the number one enemy?

Cixi was really angry, she suddenly found that this Xiao Lotian was like a reef on the waterway, no matter how she dodged, she couldn't dodge it, and she couldn't break it or break it.

To be honest, a strong woman like Cixi is not afraid of any enemies at all, even if she confronts the entire imperial power, she can find a soft underbelly to attack. But what she is most afraid of is the things she doesn't understand, first foreigners and then Xiao Letian, she can't understand anything that touches the west.

It is precisely because she doesn't understand that she can't deal with it, and the bond crisis caused by Yang Zhi is actually a mistake that she won by breaking the enemy.

At that time, Cixi said, 'Measure the material resources of China and make the country happy...... There is also the fact that she would rather be a friend than a domestic slave, and would rather betray the country and borrow foreign soldiers than fight Xiao Letian to the end!' This sentence was not something she said after careful consideration, at that time she was a mad dog who was forced into a corner and had no way out.

Because there is no way back, because the men of the Manchu Dynasty are helpless, she doesn't want to sit still and bite like a mad dog, and she can say whatever she wants. As a result, he hit Xiao Letian's death hole by mistake, but in fact, he also hit the death hole of all elite Hanchen.

Since ancient times, Hu Lu has no luck for a hundred years, this is a golden rule that most Han people believe in, will the Qing Dynasty be finished? All Hanchen will give a positive answer in their hearts. But when will the Great Qing Kingdom come to an end? No one can say at this time.

However, before the end of the Great Qing Dynasty, the land heritage left by the Great Qing Kingdom cannot be discarded, otherwise the suffering of more than 200 years will not be in vain?

So in the end, Zeng Guofan, Xiao Letian and others still backed down, which was the core reason for the profit of the Beijing court in bond negotiations.

Cixi temporarily gained the upper hand, and she suddenly became the focus of the government and the opposition again, at least the conservative forces had completely fallen to her, and Cixi's power swelled all of a sudden.

But she knows her own affairs, Cixi knows that a successful pass by mistake does not mean that she will always be able to pass the level easily, and in the face of Xiao Letian, a monster, she always has a sense of powerlessness in the fog.

It was this feeling of annoyance that made Cixi very uneasy, she could still hold it in front of the ministers, but now that there were only these core members in the palace, she didn't have to hide it anymore.

The bead curtain had been opened, Cixi couldn't sit still, pacing back and forth in the hall, Yi and Yiyun didn't dare to sit arrogantly at this time, and quickly stood up to accompany them.

The relationship between Yi and Cixi was ambiguous, and he could sense Cixi's uneasiness, so he hurriedly found a way to enlighten the Empress Dowager.

"The Queen Mother doesn't have to worry, maybe we don't have an absolute advantage in the battle situation on the battlefield, but in terms of grand strategy, we still have an advantage......"

"First of all, what the princes and ministers said just now is right, that Xiao Letian does not have too many troops in his hands, this is his absolute weakness, and there is no cavalry such a big roundabout army, it is doomed that the attack of Xiao Letian's army will not last......"

"In addition, our detailed work in the Ryukyus and Yang Zhi's confession also prove one point, Xiao Letian is now spending a lot of military money on the purchase of warships, and two shipyards and shipbuilding factories have been built in Ryukyu alone, and a shipyard is also being built in Tanggu......"

"In the final analysis, Xiao Letian still wants money, and the purpose of his navy is to protect his fleet at sea, because no matter how prosperous the Special Economic Zone is, it needs to sell goods to make money......"

Yi Xun thought for a while and asked, "What do you mean, does this Xiao Letian have no intention of starting a war with us?"

"What the seventh brother said is also right or not, in my analysis, Xiao Letian should not have the intention of replacing the Qing Dynasty in his heart, from the point of view that he was the emperor of His Majesty, he did not have the idea of being an emperor, and he has never heard of the master making an apprentice since ancient times!"

"But you say that he wants to be a courtier of the Qing Dynasty? This is also unlikely, because this unruly Sun Monkey, every move shows an equal attitude with the imperial court, in the end, I even think that Xiao Letian's ultimate ideal is to separate the Ryukyus and stand on his own, and then make more money......"

"To sum up, I think the conflict between us and Xiao Letian seems serious, but it is actually not fatal, Xiao Letian's danger is even lower than that of the Hunan army, I think it is our third enemy!"

Cixi also relieved herself at this time, and her expression was slightly relaxed: "Xiao Letian is the No. 3 enemy, Zeng Guofan is the No. 2 threat, so who is the No. 1? foreigner or the side of the East Palace?"

The muscles on Yi's face trembled a little at this moment, his murderous gaze glared at Li Lianying, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly took the eunuch palace maid to leave the Heart Cultivation Palace.

"Now our biggest threat is not the foreigner......, not the one from the east! It's our Majesty!"

"Well, what are you talking about? What are you doing with your crooked brains? You're going to do something to my son......" Cixi was about to get angry when she heard this, but Yi knelt down at that time.

"Queen Mother, please listen to my Mingjian, the Jedi has no crooked brains, Jaechun's position is unbreakable, I would rather die than replace him...... The enemies I speak of are those erroneous ideas that Your Majesty has accepted!"

Yi's eyes were red and swollen and he said, "Your Majesty has completely brainwashed Xiao Letian, Zaichun took away three hundred guards from Sijiu City, what is the purpose of us, we all know it, Your Majesty has completely disbelieved us......"

"If the three hundred guards follow the training method of the Ryukyus, as long as there is enough money, they can easily expand the army by 10,000 or more, what is Your Majesty going to do?

Cixi was not happy when she heard it, "Since ancient times, it is a matter of course for the emperor to be in charge of the army, is there anything wrong with what my son did?"

Yi kowtowed heartily and said, "Queen Mother, the minister didn't mean that, what the minister said was that His Majesty has separated from us...... If Your Majesty really wants to control the army, the minister will immediately give up the Xishan camp to Your Majesty, and the minister has never allowed those waste gentlemen who only know corruption to interfere in the Xishan camp, isn't the purpose of leaving a pure new army for Your Majesty?"

"But what did Your Majesty do? This spring, Xiao Letian secretly took His Majesty to Jiangnan, and secretly met with Zeng Guofan, what did Zaichun want to do? Do you want to form an alliance with Zeng Guofan privately? Moreover, Hu Xueyan also made a change after that, and his Fukang Silver began to have a large-scale transfer of silver taels, is it raising military funds for Zaichun's army?"

"The Queen Mother! It's not what the courtiers want, I'm afraid that Your Majesty will do something wrong when your Majesty's brain is hot! In the final analysis, Your Majesty should be the emperor of the Manchurians first, and then the emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom, if Your Majesty abandons these old people of the Eight Banners, it is destined to be a civil war at that time, may I ask the Queen Mother, how should we choose?"
