Chapter 167: Initiation (I)

87_87379 "Good! A gentleman's word is a quick whip! ā€

After listening to Li Dacheng's statement, Li Hongzhang hesitated, got up, came to Li Dacheng's face, and responded heavily.

"A gentleman's words are hard to chase!

In the matter of the recent peace talks, Lord Zhongtang still has to focus on the purchase of ships and ship-building plans, nothing more than a negotiation table, and nothing can be negotiated in a month or two, and in the near future, the main focus will be on the secret agreement with Britain, the United States and Germany!

France and Britain look inseparable, we can't rely on it, let's focus on Britain, the United States and Germany!

It's been a few days since Lord Baylor entered Shanxi, shouldn't Lord Zhongtang invite Lord Baylor back and sign a contract together? ā€

After high-fived the covenant with Li Hongzhang, Li Dacheng directly took out Gui Shun, which is the most important thing!

"Alas...... There are talents in the country, a new generation of people for the old, little brother, don't let Lao Li feel cold!

Also, Lao Li wants to remind you that Tsarist Russia is not easy to deal with. ā€

After signing the alliance, Li Hongzhang wanted to turn around and leave, but when he got to the sedan chair, he said something that was a little incomprehensible, Tsarist Russia is not easy to deal with, and he was a little discouraged when he said this at this time......

"Nakado and slow ......"

Li Dacheng got up from the stone drum, walked in front of Li Hongzhang in a few steps, looked at the old Li Hongzhang carefully, and asked softly: "Did you Lao Li take Lao Maozi's dirty money?" ā€

"Huh...... Something......"

When asked about this, Lao Li smiled a little reluctantly, saying no, I was afraid that Li Ershen would not believe it and say yes, how dare you say this?

"Got it! Railways in Luda and the three eastern provinces.

Lord Zhongtang, sometimes his eyelids can't be too shallow, just a little money, not only in Tsarist Russia. Some people have more money! ā€

The state is like this, and some things are helpless, Li Hongzhang may have taken a bribe from Tsarist Russia, or maybe he didn't take it, but his goal of taking Tsarist Russia or not will be achieved. If Tsarist Russia wants to succeed, Li Hongzhang is not the only way.

"Little brother, I'm afraid this is not the time to talk about this, right?"

Looking at General Li Ershen's wolf-like eyes, Li Hongzhang also had a little nervous scalp, this person is really hard to mess with!

"Nope! Just in time!

How much can Tsarist Russia give you? A million or five million?

The oil and water in the secret covenant are greater, and opening the mouth is a million gold pounds. The golden pound knows this thing, right?

Whether it is Belle Ye or Zhenwei Army, they need gold pounds.

Sometimes there are some things that cannot be regressed in the slightest, since we have just high-fived and sworn an oath, some of the fundamentals are better to explain. This time, we are only targeting Tsarist Russia, and if something goes wrong, many people will die. ā€

There are some things, Li Dacheng is not shy about it, standing in a position like Li Hongzhang and Gui Shun, it is easy to circle money, where did the scene in the embassy area just come from? From the deposit certificate of 2.4 million gold pounds in Gui Shun's hand, the grain issued by the embassy district. It was Li Dacheng who asked Gui Shunqiang to sell it to the embassy district before.

2.4 million gold pounds, for Li Dacheng, is still not much. This time to conclude a secret treaty with the British, these dirty things are indispensable, since it has already been done once, Li Dacheng does not mind doing it again, tens of millions more than tens of millions of reparations, for the old lady Yu Daqing. It doesn't matter.

"Little brother be cautious!"

"Huh...... That's all for now!

Invite Lord Belle to return to Beijing, Lord Zhongtang still has to step up to do it. Recently, Lord Nakado has to negotiate with the representatives of Britain, the United States, and Germany. Once the incident in the three eastern provinces happened, these words were not very easy to say. ā€

After saying this in private, Li Dacheng got into the sedan chair with a civilized stick, Tsarist Russia is not easy to provoke, and which of the foreign devils is easy to provoke? There are some things that should be started.

Back at Baylor Mansion, Li Dacheng recruited Gu Qixing and Li Dahan, and it was time to launch the same sorrow and suffering, the first way was Tsarist Russia and North Korea.

"Old Gu, Lord Belle is going back to Beijing in the near future, and let Xu Jiutong take someone to Niangzi Pass to welcome Lord Baylor's car, and bring more guns to avoid going wrong.

In addition, ask those eunuchs in the palace, which ones are willing to go to Shanxi, bring them together, the people in the imperial dining room should bring more, Luan drove the required ingredients and materials, and prepared a batch, mainly dry goods and pickles, when receiving Belle Ye, let Belle Ye handle it and send it to Shanxi Xingyuan.

If there is a shortage of Longyang, the silver ingots will be mainly minted, and the official silver, Yingyang, and Benyang will not be allowed to have an ingot! ā€

is still the same sentence, if you want to take advantage of the situation, you have to rely on the old ladies in Shanxi, before doing things, Li Dacheng's first order is to please the old ladies for a living, which is also helpless! Where the hundreds of thousands of Zhenwei troops go, they all have to look at the eyes of the old ladies, and now is not the time.

"Second master, do you need to prepare a batch of medicinal materials to prevent the plague?"

asked cautiously, during this time, Gu Qixing was not up or down, Li Erye was too difficult to serve, the former sentence was rebellious, and the latter sentence became the filial son and grandson of the imperial court, which was unpredictable.

"Humph! Old Gu, do you have doubts?

There is no need to be too cautious, in the past few years of hard work, Lord Belle still has to try his best to please the Queen Mother Lafayette, which is the same as Zhenwei Army, where the power lies!

Zhenwei Army, let's not let go, in the same way, we can't let go of the matter of pleasing the Queen Mother, do you understand? ā€

Bothering to please the old ladies, there are also interests, the benefits brought by power do not need to be detailed, through the way of the eunuchs, Li Dacheng learned that the court has no money, but the old ladies have money in their hands, the old ladies have been picking and searching in recent years, and have made nearly 20 million silver, this silver is gone to the old ladies, Li Dacheng still wants it, as long as Gui Shun can lean on it now, the silver will not run in the future.

"Got it!"

"It's best to understand! If you don't understand, just ask!

To the south, can our people get in? ā€

"It's hard too!

In the near future, we can only go to Jiangsu, and we can't go further south. ā€

"Hmm...... I understand, let Wang Yongqin of the Canal Yamen come in the past two days, and the affairs of the south should be safe.

What is the situation in the three eastern provinces? ā€

After a general understanding of the development of Guishun's forces, the north is still successful, and there are many vacancies, and people in Guishun can go up. But the south is different, except for the abandoned South Canal Caoyun Yamen, the south is for the Guishun forces, the water cannot be poured into the needle, and it is difficult to make this scene for those governors in the south.

"Changshun, increase Qi and descend. The main battle of Shoushan, there is no action on the side of Zengqi, it is reported that Changshun has been in close contact with Tsarist Russia recently, and the armies of the three eastern provinces, only Jilin Province has suffered little loss.

Although the main battle of Shoushan is true, the war is not successful. It is rumored that Shoushan has been defeated. ā€

Shoushan was defeated, and the situation in the three eastern provinces was not good, after listening to Gu Qixing's report, Li Dacheng did not rush to make a decision, but sat there and groaned.

"Lao Gu. If you receive 30,000 to 50,000 horses in the three eastern provinces, what job is suitable? ā€

"At the very least, you have to be the deputy commander!"

"Vice Commander...... Lao Gu, can any of our people be the generals of the three eastern provinces? ā€

"The second master is talking about the three generals of Heilongjiang, Jilin and Shengjing?"

"Hmm!"

"It's got to be Lord Baylor!"

"Forget it! What about other errands? ā€

"The second master wants to let people go to the three eastern provinces to command the troops?"

"It's true!"

"How many candidates does the second master have?"

"Big Han, big dog, Xu Jiutong!"

"I'm afraid it won't work! Even if he went, he could only be a battalion officer at most, commanding more than 1,000 people. ā€

"Is there a difference between Manchu and Han?"

"Yes!"

"What if the three of them are made into a clan?"

"This ......"

"It's okay, it's all your own people, you can say whatever you want!"

In Manmon Ili. Planting people is also one of Li Dacheng's plans, and Li Dahan and Li Dagou will not betray him. Qi Shiduo was sent to Shandong, and there was only one Xu Jiutong left, and then there were Li Dahe and Li Dafu who followed Li Cheng.

Forged his identity was not difficult for Li Dacheng, he had contact with some people in the Zongren Mansion, and there were thousands of poor sects in Jingshi. It is not difficult to get a name for the clan, especially under the premise that many files of the Zongren Mansion were burned by the 'Boxers'.

But these people also have a big flaw. That is the age, Qi Shiduo is only thirty, and Xu Jiutong is in his thirties. The remaining seventeen or eighteen, and the older Zhenwei army also has them, but those people are not good at calling!

"I'm afraid that the clan won't succeed, and the red belt is more appropriate."

Gu Qixing has also experienced these things, the people of the Zongren Mansion are the ones he brought to the Baylor Mansion, the clan is not allowed to lead troops, although this ancestral training of the Qing Dynasty exists in name only, but it still has a certain effect.

"If you make a red belt, how much can you command the army?"

"Several generals look at each other as old, if the operation is appropriate, it is still possible to unify them."

Young and old, this is also helpless, although Li Dahan and others are only seventeen or eighteen, but their faces are old, they say that they are thirty, and they are credible, Gu Qixing's words are not very good, but they are real.

"Good! You go and operate this matter, the position must be lower than the deputy capital, and the three eastern provinces, Mongolia, and Ili must have our people. ā€

"Got it!"

"Good! You can go down and arrange what you just said!

The Zhenwei army of the three eastern provinces gave them preaching orders, first not to rush to the battle, and then to settle down, let the people below maintain the way of this official. ā€

After sending Gu Qixing away, Li Dacheng thought for a while before he began to give orders to Li Dahan.

"Da Han, how has this elite handman been selected recently?"

"The elite chose three thousand, one thousand to Qi Shiduo who went to Shandong, and the other two thousand were classified as Brother Dacheng's ghost head knife, all of them are good men!"

"Hmmm! You choose the best 100 of them, have enough guns, and prepare to go to the three eastern provinces in the near future! ā€

"Brother Dacheng, what should I do here in Jingshi? Xu Jiutong is going to Niangziguan, I went to the three eastern provinces, leaving a big dog, he can't do anything. ā€

"Am I still here?"

"Brother Dacheng, you hurt ......"

"It doesn't matter! Did the Pathfinders send back the message? ā€

"The road of Fengtian and Jilin, with the help of the fifth master, has been discovered, slow travel for a month, hurry up, ten days of hard work our people can enter Fengtian, half a month to Jilin, Heilongjiang has not been returned, the border cities around Tsarist Russia, we have not explored the way."

Exploring the road is not a simple business, this is not the future generations, you can travel all over the country with a map, except for Gyeonggi and the major prefectures, how can there be a road map in many places? The three eastern provinces are even more so, and many places are dense forests.

There are also official roads, but Lao Caoyong is carrying the plague! The risk of crossing the state and county is too great, and the roads that can avoid the state and county towns need to be inquired one by one, and it is not easy for the pathfinder team to have this speed, and Li Dacheng does not want to be harsh, so he can only arrange people to continue to explore the road.

"Spend money to buy roads in the border city, and give them half a month, and after half a month, the old Cao Yong of Jinmen will be launched."

"Brother Dacheng, itching is terrible, should we be cautious?"

Li Dahan is not Li Dagou, he has a scheming city, Li Dacheng's plan to spread the plague, Li Dahan is not very supportive, the spread of plague in the three eastern provinces will inevitably affect the people, and tens of thousands of people of the Zhenwei army have entered the territory of the three eastern provinces, Li Dahan is afraid that one is not cautious and will spread the plague to the Zhenwei army.

"It's important to fight Tsarist Russia! The others are behind!

Where are the Japanese and Russian troops near Jingu today? ā€

It will take time to attack the three eastern provinces and Tsarist Russia, and Li Dacheng has no intention of letting go of the Japanese-Russian coalition forces near Jingu, so they should be interested!

"Leaning east of the station."

"Hmmm! You first let someone pass the order, let Lao Cao try his hand on the Japanese-Russian coalition army first, and then see the results before talking about anything else. ā€

"It's good! It's safer that way. ā€

"Go ahead! The hundred people you are looking for, after electing the squad leader, bring them to me, and there are some things you still have to do. ā€

Sent Li Dahan away, Li Dacheng rubbed his eyebrows, the delay of the pathfinder team delayed the whole plan, and now it is very hasty, but there is not much time on his side, and the haste is in a hurry, maybe Lao Cao's real yĆ n in Jinmen can force back the Japanese-Russian coalition army!

If the Japanese-Russian forces withdraw, many things will have a reason. (To be continued).
