87_87379 Lao Li thought about it for half a month, during this half a month, Lao Caoyong on the other side of Jinmen was ready to set off, and the refugees near Jingshi also had more than 100,000 people who entered the territory of Fengtian after a long journey, and with the refugee team, some of the forces of the Zhenwei Army could be regarded as really stepping into the territory of the three eastern provinces.

Li Cheng in the south, the operation of the plague hall is also prosperous, radiating to the township of the medicinal materials purchase and sales network, but also with the support of silver and the second and third line of medicinal materials with the initial rollout, the circulation of the big bitter and cold medicinal materials, basically by the plague hall control, now at this time, it is also the time for the major drug markets to open, as long as half of this year's new drugs into the plague hall, the purpose of controlling the medicinal materials market is almost achieved.

Li Dacheng's injury, in this half a month, the speed of recovery is also quite amazing, he can walk hundreds of steps without no one to help him, the famous doctors in the capital estimate that in more than half a month, he will be able to live normally.

There is a lot of good news, one bad news is enough, the bad news comes from the three eastern provinces, there is an official document, the five roads of Tsarist Russia into the three eastern provinces of Kou, by the time the news is sent, Jilin has been completely lost, Heilongjiang is not safe, Fengtian is in danger, and the three eastern provinces have almost changed hands.

Hailan Pao, Jiangdong Sixty-four Tun, Heihetun, Aihui, Hulan, place names everywhere are also mentioned in the official documents, and the reason for being mentioned is also simple, the Qing people in these places were slaughtered by the Russian army.

The Zhenwei army turned into bandits, and they had not yet begun to slaughter civilians in Tsarist Russia, but Lao Maozi gave Li Dacheng the best excuse, since Lao Maozi sacrificed the butcher's knife first, then the Zhenwei army did not need to hide the front, and then as long as Tsarist Russia was not destroyed. Li Dacheng doesn't care about others, the Zhenwei army must sharpen the butcher's knife in his heart every day, as long as it belongs to Tsarist Russia, there is no one left behind when the Zhenwei army crosses the border.

The official document sent to Baylor Mansion was read by Li Dacheng every day. Seeing those blood-stained places, he kept gritting his teeth, calculating that it was time to start, no matter how late it was, the weather would be cold, and the plague would not be so lethal in Siberia.

"Second master. Li Zhongtang came to visit. ”

"Please!"

After half a month, Li Hongzhang came to visit again, presumably he also had a plan on his side, but I don't know if there was a reason for his visit this time?

"Little brother. The spirit is good, this time it should be a good thing, right? ”

looked at Li Hongzhang who was holding a civilized stick, there was no gloomy air on his face, and he was right! At the time of the first afternoon, the case of Lushunkou, this person has experienced it, it is not strange, right?

"The body is almost good, but this heart is not smooth!

The affairs of the three eastern provinces. Lord Zhongtang must already know, I wonder if this Zhenwei army can fight again? ”

Hearing the words of fighting again, Li Hongzhang paused obviously. Put down the civilized stick and sit down with a hookah, Lao Li didn't say anything, and smoked the hookah sullenly.

"Little brother, there are some things that are difficult for manpower......

After smoking a bag of cigarettes, Li Hongzhang also gave a reply. The four words of manpower are Lao Li's choice. These four words do not refer to the situation in the three eastern provinces, but half a month ago. Li Dacheng's ten-year shipbuilding plan, presumably this old gentleman has hit a wall on the side of foreign devils.

"Good! Good! Good!

Since Lord Zhongtang has already made a decision, why bother to make the younger generation unhappy? ”

Li Hongzhang, Li Dacheng still admires, after seeing the current situation of the Qing Dynasty with his own eyes, Li Dacheng admires more in his heart, many things are indeed as Li Hongzhang said, manpower is difficult, but now at this time, the current situation, saying that manpower is difficult to do four words, but a little cringe.

The key to the change in China is not in Jiawu, but in Gengzi, Gengzi is in trouble, although there is no land, but it makes a country lose its backbone, finance, taxation, and autonomy, which is the node of the country's loss! At this time, you can't turn the tables at the negotiation table, and if you want to turn the tables in the future, the cost will be much greater than now, and if you don't do it well, it will be hopeless.

The words are not speculative, Li Dacheng struggled to get up and didn't want to talk anymore, since Li Hongzhang didn't want to have fun, he could only force him to play.

"Little brother...... Things will always turn around!

Your ship-building plan, Lao Li went back and thought about it, and always felt that it was inappropriate, instead of spending tens of millions of dollars to buy ships and build ships, it would be more cost-effective for us to buy guns and guns! ”

For the Qing Dynasty, Li Hongzhang was indeed a loyal minister, Li Dacheng's ten-year shipbuilding plan, for the Qing Dynasty, did not have much practical benefit, compared to ships, the Qing court needed rifles and artillery more, but is such an order possible?

"Rifles? Artillery?

Do you Lao Li regard all the foreign devils as fools?

With the Battle of Jingu, which country would dare to sell us a large number of rifles and artillery?

You Lao Li thinks well, do you think you are stupid? Or are the devils of the seas more stupid?

Buying a battleship, in the Qing Dynasty, is not beneficial, not only can you see it, Lao Tzu also understands, and foreign devils understand it even more!

Don't say that it is ten battleships of eight ships, that is, one hundred and eighty battleships in the hands of our Daqing, which is similar to a small sampan, there is not much combat power at all, in this section of battleships, the British are not afraid of us!

The British are not afraid of us, and the United States, Germany and France are not afraid, and little Japan and Lao Maozi will naturally be afraid, but how much does Europe, America, Europe and the United States have to do with little Japan and Lao Maozi?

Buying a gun? Tens of millions of orders go down, and Britain, France, America and Germany should not be able to sleep! What are you thinking?

At this time, you are really confused about buying guns and guns with the devils of all seas? ”

Hearing Lao Li say that he wanted to buy guns and guns, Li Dacheng smiled helplessly, he also knew that guns were more practical in this country, but if you want to buy them, people will definitely sell them? It's just wishful thinking.

Before, Lao Li was able to buy countless guns, that is because the British want to support you, after a bloody battle in Jingu, the British may still support, but they will never let you buy all kinds of guns infinitely as before.

The navy is not, let alone the Qing Dynasty, even the European and American countries, how many of them can enter the eyes of the British Empire? No matter how many warships there were in the Qing Dynasty, it would not affect the interests of the British in China, but after the Battle of Jingu, the guns were different. Hundreds of thousands of firearms are enough to affect the fundamental interests of the British, and at this time, when you put up an order for guns, isn't this Lao Li unhappy?

"Uh......

Little brother, you wait for a while, and wait for Lao Li to think about it......"

Li Dacheng's words can be regarded as waking up the dreamer. The reason for this, Li Hongzhang is not incomprehensible, but he can't understand it for a while, and when the official order for large-scale guns is rejected, Lao Li will be able to figure it out.

Time Li Dacheng will naturally give, just like Lao Li. Li Dacheng also took out a hookah, filled it leisurely, took a deep breath, and showed a look of enjoyment on his face. Otherwise, with the Sun family girl on her side, such enjoyment is not allowed.

"That's why we have to buy ships, warships have been bought, docks, iron works, steel mills, and shipyards have been built, and our relationship with Britain, the United States, France and Germany will be entangled together.

If we can curb the pace of Tsarist Russia in the three eastern provinces, we will purchase firearms on a large scale in the future. Not necessarily! ”

In a position like Li Hongzhang, it is not a lie to look at the world at a glance, as long as it is a little dial. Li Hongzhang can understand the many twists and turns in the shipbuilding plan.

"That's it!

Whether it is Britain, France, the United States, or Little Japan, or Lao Maozi, they are all our mortal enemies, why do you want to join forces? The enemy is far and near, and the enemy is strong and weak!

Fight Britain, France and the United States, we can't reach the whip, beat little Japan, old Maozi. We have a chance, and now Lao Maozi is showing his head. Moreover, Lao Maozi touched the direct interests of Britain and Japan. That's why we have the opportunity to join forces.

Fight Lao Maozi first, and then fight Little Japan, and have a chance to destroy Britain and France, this is our way out.

Where is the intersection? Lao Tzu's ten-year shipbuilding plan, is our intersection, set foot on, ten years or twenty years, down the old Maozi, little Japan, Europe is in chaos, let's give the British devils, French devils, come to a raid to destroy the door, at that time, the world is so big, where can I not go in China? Where is it not to hold your head high? ”

This is the big plan in Li Dacheng's heart, this plan, Li Dacheng also learned from the neighboring little Japan, they can rely on the Meiji Restoration to stand up, and China can also stand up in ten or twenty years.

The political situation in the Qing Dynasty is too chaotic, and if you go up to support the overall situation, I'm afraid no one can do it, do it in private, one or two provinces are enough, first have these two provinces, and then the whole world.

"Alas......

I see! I see!

Pity! Alas! The old man has been in charge of foreign affairs for 30 years, but he is not as clear as a young man......

Resist Russia, resist Japan, and try to destroy Britain and France, this is the right way! That's the right way!

The European continent is separated from our Qing Dynasty by thousands of mountains and rivers, they put their interests first, and what Japan and Russia are plotting is our Qing Dynasty land, and they hate to be born 20 years later!

If this is the case, the old man will be able to swing and close with you Li Ershen......

How can Gui Shun compare with the old man?

Alas...... Alas...... Alas......

In the end, age is not forgiving! The old man has been in vain for more than 30 years, but in the end he is not as good as a poor sour flag man Gui Shun's hard work, but it's a pity! Alas! ”

Li Dacheng pointed out the intention of the ten-year shipbuilding plan, and Li Hongzhang also diverged a little, and this divergence, many things will be understood, if at the beginning of foreign affairs, he Li Hongzhang can have such a strategy, why is the Qing Dynasty like this, and why is he Li Hongzhang like this......

"Sensei sighed! This method was told to you a long time ago, and you Lao Li can't finish it?

You know why? Let's take a good look at Jingu......"

poured a basin of cold water on Li Hongzhang, who was sighing, such a method, not to mention 20 years earlier, even a hundred years earlier, Li Hongzhang couldn't finish it, and the reason was simple, because he wanted to be the filial son and grandson of the Qing Dynasty, and he didn't have the mind of being unscrupulous and taboo, no one could do it!

"Uh......

Also! Also!

Let's use the little brother's ten-year shipbuilding plan, and in the future, the old man will listen to the little brother's ......"

Thinking of Li Ershen's viciousness and ruthlessness in Jingu, Li Hongzhang also sighed to himself, maybe this is the key to success, right?

"Don't! What are you Li Zhongtang listening to me?

Naturally, I still have to listen to the Queen Mother, during the period, support a handful of Guibeiler, and we will be grateful to Dade......"

Li Hongzhang's words are not something that can be taken casually, there are too many interests entangled behind this old thing, and sometimes, his old Li also has to be coerced by his subordinates, if Li Dacheng is serious, then he is not far from death, cooperation is okay, but there is still a gap between the two.

"Alas...... Does the little brother also want to be like that Restoration, and exclude Lao Li? ”

Seeing that Li Dacheng wanted to support Gui Shun wholeheartedly, Li Hongzhang's eyes narrowed, which involved the attribution of interests, if he Li Hongzhang was excluded again this time, he would be powerless to return to the sky.

"Can't! Let's do our own thing, cooperation must be necessary, but like a family, there is no need.

The ship-building plan involves the north and the south, the south belongs to you, and the north can also belong to you except for the place where I have set foot, we just want to do business in peace and stability, and it does not involve direct interests, so we can naturally be in the same dust as the light. ”

The ten-year shipbuilding plan, although Li Dacheng said that he wanted to grab certain benefits from it, but he directly participated in it, he did not have this idea, the ten-year shipbuilding plan is just to give him future development, to create a general environment with light and dust, but there are not many places that really involve direct interests.

"Good! Even so, it's time for Lord Belle to come back and participate in the peace talks, before Lord Baylor had good contacts with the envoys of European and American countries, and this is the time to use it! ”

After listening to Li Dacheng's statement, Li Hongzhang also reciprocated Li, at this time, Li Hongzhang can still influence the old ladies, he said that Gui Shun can preside over foreign affairs, then Gui Shun can, he said no, the old ladies also have to think about it.

"Then thank you Lord Zhongtang, I wonder if you have any leisure?"

"Yes!"

"Then let's go to Jingshi for a while?"

"Good!"

Although he didn't know what the deep meaning of General Li Ershen was, Li Hongzhang simply nodded and agreed to go around the Beijing division with Li Dacheng. (To be continued).
