"I don't care if the Mongolian tribe is unlucky! The mourning family wants victory, and what they want is for all the Far Eastern volunteers to die!" Cixi shouted in a sharp voice. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"20,000 is enough for something! Let Tepuxin raise grain and grass on the spot and send it to these Rakshasa ghosts, I will let them eat, and we can afford to give the grain and grass of tens of thousands of people in the Qing Kingdom, who are rich in thousands of ......."

"The 50,000 army has to be pulled to the battlefield, Xiao Letian's soldiers are not easy to deal with, this is recognized even by foreigners! If you don't have to lose blood, you want to defeat him! If you lack food, we will give you food, and if you lack silver, we will give silver, as long as we can destroy the volunteers, it will be worth whatever we spend!"

Yi Xun was more or less mellow, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and whispered, "This, this, this...... Will this cause controversy between the government and the opposition? The imperial court also has to be careful about face......

"What face!" Cixi slapped on the low table with a snap, "You can't be confused when others are confused, and destroying the volunteers will benefit us without harm, haven't you figured this out?"

"First of all, destroying the volunteers, this is equivalent to cutting off one of Xiao Letian's arms, this evil dragon entrenched overseas, is the best at deceiving the people, he looks like an emperor on the surface, as if he has nothing to do with our Daqingqiu, but he is constantly stealing our people's hearts, our wealth ......"

"We can't let him develop any longer, how much silver does he have to take away from that damn stock market in Jiangnan!

Cixi gasped and sweated on her forehead, "This cunning fox knows that he is entrenched overseas, drinking the blood of our Qing Dynasty, bullying us without a navy, and there is no way to fight him...... If he dares to put his base camp in the Qing Dynasty...... The mourners can destroy him with one hand!"

"But he just didn't dare to go ashore, he was as disgusting as a thief!" Cixi's angry muscles all jumped out, and the three people present, including Ci'an, had to admit that they had underestimated Xiao Lotian before, and the most important thing was to underestimate Xiao Letian's strategy.

Taking overseas Chinese as the root, taking the interests of maritime trade, and then encroaching on the wealth of the Qing Dynasty with a backhand, this routine is something that the Manchus can't understand at all, of course, they understand a little now, but the Chinese have become a trend, and the seedling has grown into a small tree, and it is no longer strangled if they want to.

"Curbing and even eliminating this Xiao Letian, this is the most important thing in front of us in front of the Qing Dynasty, and anything else can be discussed under this matter! Rakshasa ghost is greedy? Of course the mourning family knows, but the mourning family knows that Xiao Letian's greed is even more ...... than the Rakshasa ghost."

The atmosphere in the Heart Cultivation Hall made Cixi's saber rattling full of gunpowder, Ci'an took a sip of tea, and suddenly smiled: "What my sister said is naturally good, in fact, there is no harm in cooperating with Tsarist Russia for our Qing Dynasty!"

"Let me add the second point, since Tsarist Russia can use us, and they want to cooperate with the Qing Dynasty, then they have to stop a little in the northwest!"

"Isn't Agubo relying on Tsarist Russia to support him? Otherwise, he would dare to invade Xinjiang......! During this time, the mourning family sent someone to talk to Ulangori, and although he did not agree, his tone has softened a lot......"

"Xinjiang and the Far East, he, the Tsar, choose one! He didn't say that they both wanted to eat two pieces of fat! 50,000 Central Asian cavalry were transferred to Vladivostok, and the strength of Agubai's side would be greatly weakened, and I had already sent a secret telegram to Zuo Jigao, and now that the situation in the west has improved significantly, Zuo Jigao's troops are preparing to raise troops from Ganshan in early summer, and it should not be difficult to pacify Xinjiang!"

This is really good news, the faces of the people present have softened, and Yi Xun let out a sigh of relief, "This is the first good news I have heard this year, Buddha bless! Buddha bless!"

The strong rise of the Volunteers in the Far East directly broke the power divisions around the Qing Dynasty, especially the Tsarist Russia has been tilting its resources to Central Asia in recent years, on the one hand, it wants to compete with Britain for Afghanistan, and on the other hand, it also wants to covet the rich Xinjiang of the Qing Dynasty, especially the Tianshan Mountains.

Vladivostok is indeed a good deep-water port in the Pacific Ocean, but the geographical location is still too far north, and the surrounding population density is not enough and there is a three-month ice period every year, so the value of Vladivostok can only be said to be slightly higher than the port in the hands of Tsarist Russia.

The value of Vladivostok is completely incomparable with the tropical and temperate seaports occupied by Britain and France, and it is not worth mentioning in terms of military value or commercial value.

The Baltic Sea was suppressed by the British Isles, not to mention Tsarist Russia, and even Prussia could not escape British control. Attempts to contend with Turkey in the Black Sea resulted in a Crimean war that discouraged Tsarist ambitions.

Although Vladivostok was obtained, it was still not perfect, and finally the eyes of Tsarist Russia were focused on Afghanistan, as long as the Afghan plateau was controlled, the Great Plains were to the south, and the warm and rich Arabian Sea was at the end of the plains.

If you want to compete with Britain for Afghanistan, you can't do it without a stable rear to provide war fuel, and helping Aguba to seek rich Xinjiang can weaken the Qing Dynasty on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can also provide a very good logistics base for the army going south, and it is absolutely impossible to attack Afghanistan by relying on the poor Central Asian khanate.

It's really good to have a wishful thinking, but it's a pity that Xiao Letian didn't count the birth of Xiao Letian, let alone an emerging force that had just risen for two or three years, and had the courage to wrestle with the old empire Tsarist Russia in the Far East.

The Volunteers messed up the calculations of Tsarist Russia, they had to start to draw troops from Central Asia, and in order to compete for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they could only temporarily cut off the resources of Agubai, and now is the best time for Zuo Zongtang to recover Xinjiang, a strategic turning point that has never appeared in history.

Ci'an is not as violent as Cixi's temper, and she talked about the situation in Xinjiang in depth and found it like watching a pattern in the palm of her hand, the more the two princes listened, the more they admired, and finally Cixi beat a drum in her heart.

"Damn, why didn't I think of using my strength? What a good opportunity to blackmail the Russian minister! How could I let Ci'an take the lead? In this way, Ci'an's prestige among the courtiers increased by three points...... Damn, it's that little brute who messed up the mourning family's heart, otherwise I wouldn't have let go of this opportunity to negotiate!"

I don't know how to do it, the hall of heart cultivation suddenly quieted down, and no one had to borrow troops to destroy the third reason of the Far Eastern Volunteers, but no one spoke.

The four of them were suddenly silent, and after ten minutes of silence, Yi suddenly got up and said with a smile, "Since the tone has been formulated, then the courtiers will go and carry it out, first send a telegram to Tepukhin, and ask him to prepare a batch of grain and grass for the Cossack cavalry......"

Yi Xun also stood up, "I still have a little friendship with Hunchun, my face should be useful, I will send him a private telegram, let him not move, don't need him to fight, as long as he can insist on cutting off the food route of the volunteers......"

"That'...... The younger brother will retire ......" The two of them turned their heads and left the Heart Cultivation Palace.
