87_87379 "Lord Zhongtang, let's get together, or talk about something serious, whether it's the plague or the overall situation, it's not something we can control, Lord Zhongtang's age is not light, and there is no day to live."

It's the same on my side, maybe the recurrence of the injury will be gone, even if the injury does not recur, just rush at what I did in Jingu, and what I have to do next, maybe I will die on the steps when I go out?

Buying a ship is a big deal, with a warship, we have a certain right to speak at sea, even if it is not as good as the devils of the seas, it is also necessary to look at the South Seas!

In this Jingu War, people from Vietnam came, and the people of the subject country dared to step on the land of our country with rifles and artillery, who gave them the courage?

It's just that we are bullied by the Oriental slaves, and if we are bullied by the Nanyang slaves, we don't want to be human anymore, how good is it to be a dog slave of foreign devils? Doesn't it depend on the owner to beat the dog? ”

When it comes to interests, many things are not something that Li Dacheng and Li Hongzhang can decide, just like those bastards in the Guishun family, the above says the above and the bottom says the bottom, no profit can not be early, if Sheng Xuanhuai in the south is acquainted, he might as well cooperate, if he doesn't know each other, it doesn't hurt to fight for life and death, Li Dacheng is not afraid of these.

"Alas......

You little brother really has a heart, the old man sees that you have achieved great things, let me ask you, without the Qing Dynasty, what are you doing? ”

Sitting on Jinluan and Yin'an is not as easy as imagined, sitting in that position, the anger is not smooth! The whole country and the world, how can it be so well balanced, at one time and one place, it is ridiculous and arrogant, and if you sit up, you are the slave of all living beings in the world.

Why didn't the teacher Zeng Guofan oppose it? Why didn't he Li Hongzhang rebel? It's not that there is no chance, and it's not that there is no ability. But don't dare! What if it's the other way around? If you don't get the world, you can't turn your subordinates, and if you don't get it, you have to become someone else's stepping stone, emperor, joke! Everyone says that the Manchu courtiers are the royal dog slaves, who is the real dog slave? It's hard to say. It's not good to say.

"Naturally, you're going to do business?"

What did Li Hongzhang say, Li Dacheng naturally understood it, and when he sat down, he really said the same thing? Wrong! In the end, politics serves interests, so what are the interests of the Qing Dynasty? Corrupt officials and officials, businessmen, and business officials, such a strange circle, don't think about coming out again if you step in. It's the same for everyone.

It is not easy to do business outside this circle, why does Li Dacheng support Gui Shun, not for this kind of relationship?

"Doing business? Buying and selling with guns and guns? ”

Lao Li's eyes are good, in a word, Zhenweijun and Gui Shun are the ones that Li Dacheng can rely on to stand outside the circle and watch the drama and make money. Without these, it's better to be a dog slave than to vote for the court and be a dog slave.

Listening to Li Hongzhang's words, Li Dacheng smiled secretly, mercenaries are also a big deal, and in the future, when the world is chaotic, there will be more places where guns are needed, how can you not buy and sell guns and cannons?

"It doesn't mean that you can't buy and sell guns with guns!"

Listening to Li Dacheng's statement, Li Hongzhang couldn't help laughing. Young people! How is this kind of trade different from usurping the country? Is this kid going to be Cao Cao? Coercing the princes of the Son of Heaven is not a good thing, this is the beginning of chaos. You Li Ershen will be Cao Cao, and the people below will all want to be Cao Cao, so it's better to usurp the country directly?

Li Hongzhang shook his beard, and said while thinking about it, if Li Ershen really wanted to do this, he couldn't stay!

"What are you doing sitting in the Forbidden City? Free. This is not a good thing, the barrel of the gun is unrestrained. Just the beginning of the chaos!

Little brother, some times. It's time to do it! ”

That's a good point! Shun Tian should be able to sit firmly, but if they can't sit steadily, that's because they have their own fault! ”

Li Hongzhang's opinion of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is high, he knows what to do, speaking of this, Li Dacheng's heart is also a little vague, things haven't been done yet! He felt that it was not easy to let go, if he really had a chance to ascend to the sky, would he give up in the future? Will the people who fight with him give up? I'm afraid it's not easy!

"Little brother, what you said just now was quite true, now? What about fooling Lao Li?

Tell me, what do you want to do? ”

The short-term confusion in Li Dacheng's eyes was captured by Li Hongzhang, and he was finally less than old, he couldn't play this game of chess in the Qing Dynasty, and this time the peace contract was signed, I'm afraid Liangguang couldn't stay still! This Li Ershen will be really good, the Qing Dynasty can't use him, but he is used in this world, the Qing Dynasty has been difficult to return to, and Li Hongzhang also understands many things in his heart, but many times, ambition has to bow his head and do things......

"Enrich the country and strengthen the people......"

Perhaps? In front of an old man like Li Hongzhang, Li Dacheng does not shy away from anything, to be honest, he also has many passes in his heart, just say that Gui Shun's subordinates, his subordinates may not be like this in the future, this matter is confused.

"Hmmm! Enrich the country and strengthen the people......

This is easier said than done!

Thirty years of Westernization is not just for the sake of enriching the country and strengthening the people?

Pity! Alas! If you have done foreign affairs, it is better not to do it!

After beating the long-haired thief, there are foreign devils again, I Lao Li didn't see the rich country and the strong people, countless treaties have been signed, countless indemnities have been ceded, and as soon as the port is opened, the smoke and soil are raging.

After 30 years of foreign affairs, we don't have good things, but how can we be born to do it for the poor and weak people? ”

Who has written history for 10,000 years, looking for a marquis three thousand miles away, Li Hongzhang is also ambitious, and in the twilight of a strong man, he also has doubts.

If there is Li Ershen's ability and courage in Beiyang, it is enough to defend Korea without losing it, and with the military ports in the north, no matter how targeted the warships of Little Japan are, no matter how many dozens of warships are there, they will not be able to shake the northern defense circle laid by Li Hongzhang.

Xie Jiasuo Fort, Yang Fengling Fort, Longzui Temple Fort, Lujiaozui Fort, Baiding Fort, Loess Cliff Fort, Zhao Beizui Fort, Beishanzui Fort, Sacrificial Fortress, Huangdao Fort, Liugongdao Fort, Weihaiwei, Lushun, how many Krupp cannons are installed in these forts and fortresses? I can't count them all!

With the firepower of the giant cannon and the solidity of the fortress, let alone tens of thousands of people, even a few hundred people can resist these forts and fight against tens of thousands of people!

Land and sea cooperation. As long as the small Japanese fleet was brought within range of the battery, how many warships could not be sunk?

How did these forts get lost? Li Hongzhang also felt ashamed when he said it, most of them were lost before the shot was fired, what kind of army can do such a thing?

Before the First Sino-Japanese War, he begged his grandfather to sue his grandmother. If a few more new ships are purchased before the war, the Beiyang Fleet will not be lost, and the First Sino-Japanese War will not be lost. Not necessarily!

The princes of the royal family only cared about greed for money and pleasure, the elite of the Huai army was vulnerable, and the ministers of the court abolished the public for personal purposes.

He Li Hongzhang was also greedy. He has also bent the law and disrespected, but he has been resilient in his ups and downs several times, and the Prancing Horse is bloody in the field.

It is said that he, Mr. Li Er, is a traitor and a traitor. But how to sign the peace agreement, it doesn't matter if you talk about it, you have the final say on the battlefield. No matter how hard you go, you can't win on the battlefield, how can you talk about winning? He also took bribes from foreign devils, but does it make any difference whether he takes the result or not? You have to give what people want, and if you don't give it to others, they will beat you!

In Li Hongzhang's view, Weng Tonggong is more like him than a traitor and traitor. It's even more hateful and killable, but the article is well done! There is a way to be an article through the ages. After losing the battle, do people still have a good reputation? And what is he for? A lifetime of hard work. Is it just for the infamy of being the number one traitor in the world?

Li Dacheng was said to be confused by Li Hongzhang, and Li Hongzhang himself was also confused, and the two sat indifferently in the pavilion for a long time, and Li Dacheng, who was the first to be sober, broke the deadlock between the two.

"That's why there was the first battle of Jingu, and that's why there was the war of medicinal herbs in the south.

It's easy to do, but it's hard to change!

Even if that is the case, it would be better to put everyone in danger.

If you don't work hard, you deserve to die!

If you don't work hard, whoever is willing to care about their life or death, you will care! ”

Listening to Li Dacheng's words, Li Hongzhang smiled, anyone can say this, he once said, what is the result? Isn't it a mess?

"Do you mean to make enemies of the East? With the East as the enemy, isn't this narrow-minded? ”

Li Hongzhang's heart still regards himself as the Heavenly Empire, this is the gap, this is also what most people think, he was beaten and beaten, and he didn't want to fight back, like this, he deserved to be bullied!

"The East, whose people are like wolves and whose hearts are like jackals, has been studying in China for a thousand years and coveting China for five hundred years.

Now for them, it is the weakest time for me in China, to be honest, we really can't beat others at this time!

Lao Li, tell me, with such a group of jackals on your side, how could you sleep peacefully before?

The enemy is in the East, the heart is too narrow-minded, I think your Lao Li is blind!

That's a pack of wolves! We are just cattle and sheep, and if we don't take the East as an enemy, we will have to be slaughtered!

If you don't fight the East, do you want to fight foreign devils? People are separated from us by thousands of mountains and rivers, even if they fight, how can they be beaten?

Tsarist Russia's invasion of the three eastern provinces is an opportunity, and little Japan is also looking at the three eastern provinces!

After the battle, Tsarist Russia will fight the little Japanese, starting from the three eastern provinces, all the way to Korea, defeating Korea, and with dozens of warships, we will be able to use Korea as the front station to fight the East Ocean!

With this way of playing, in less than ten years, we will definitely be able to create an iron army, with this iron army, even if we can't dominate the sea, we can also protect the land without losing!

If we don't lose the country, our opportunity will come, build guns, artillery, and ships, it doesn't matter if you're one step slower, it's okay if you're a hundred years late, as long as we can go head-on, there will be another ten years after ten years, who dares to underestimate my beautiful China?

If we go out with Tsarist Russia and the Iron Army of the East for 20 years, and go west out of Ili to participate in the European expedition, the European and American world may not be killed by several great powers.

The battle of the European continent, the United States will participate, the war will be continuous, maybe it can drag down the United States, and then I will return to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty in China. ”

After listening to Li Dacheng's babbling, Li Hongzhang rolled his eyelids, these words can be said by a master, the key is what to do? Can it be done?

Fighting a war is not a matter of lip service, no money, no food, no guns, no soldiers, what to fight? This war, to put it bluntly, is just one word, money!

The court has no money, what to fight? How to fight? The words are good, but the things can't be done, no matter how good they are, it's in vain!

"So you want to buy a ship? After the ship can be purchased, where will the money come from? ”

Li Ershen has spoken so much in the vernacular, and there is only one purpose, to buy ships! Buying a ship is easy! Maintenance, trouble! And it's a big hassle!

The giant ship is there, but if you don't maintain it, you can't buy it back and put it aside, right? If a giant ship wants to move, there must be sailors, a huge ship, how can it not have 1,800 people, this is on the ship, under the ship? 18,000 people are not enough!

Not to mention the cost of the giant ship, these 18,000 people alone can't be more than a million taels of silver a year? When the giant ship is bought, it can't be placed in one place, and the personnel in two places are also divided into two places to plan, one ship is one million, and two ships are two million.

Even if these miscellaneous ones are assigned to the entire fleet, what about the cost of the giant ships? Such an expensive giant ship, the cost of people is one million, the cost of the ship is one million, and they maintain it by themselves, the military port must be expanded, the dock must be newly built, the military port and dock are there, and the stubble must be connected to the fort, the coastal defense giant cannon, at least a hundred thousand, a large battery with fifty or sixty giant cannons, even if a small fort is built, it will cost more than ten or twenty guns, these are all money!

Don't want those? The giant ship has really become an ornament, and who would be afraid of such a giant ship? If you want the East and Tsarist Russia to follow you for a piece of wasted silver, how can you do it without these?

The cost of purchasing a ship can be paid out of the peace treaty, and the money for building a military port and dock can also be paid out of the peace agreement, but what about the personnel and maintenance costs? Can this foreign devil take care of you and let the court come out? Where did the imperial court get the money? (To be continued).
