Chapter 136: The Target of the Crowd (Part II)
87_87379 Li Dacheng wanted to watch the play, the ministers of the government and the opposition were also powerful, their attack was faster than imagined, the next day, Li Dacheng got a telegram sent by Gu Qixing from Beijing, the Qingliu in the court had begun to attack Gui Shun, but the attack of the Qingliu seemed to be raising the momentum for Gui Shun, pointing the finger at Li Hongzhang who was far away in Guangzhou.
Since Weng Tonggong left office, the head of the Qingliu faction should push Xu Tong and Fortitude, the so-called Qingliu, some are conservative factions, some are imperial historians, and some are Hanlin in Beijing, in general, the so-called Qingliu forces are those unambitious Beijing officials, local officials who want to take the position, they act as mouthpieces under the guidance of some people, for what? Get ahead, fame and fortune.
Now some people, some people are resolute and Xu Tong, the object of attack, naturally is the most popular one in the court, the Qing Dynasty in the past two days, Guishun is the most prosperous, want to promote the first and suppress, Ming depreciation and praise, these means, the literati use it perfectly.
Judging from the position of Fortitude and Xu Tong, they are the main battle faction, Li Hongzhang is the main peace faction, and it is reasonable to use Gui Shun's exploits in Jinmen to overthrow Li Hongzhang.
In terms of origin, Gangyi is a serious disciple of the Eight Banners, and Xu Tong is a disciple of the Han Army Banner, and there are capable people in the Eight Banners of the clan, so they should naturally maintain it.
But is that really the case? Every time someone throws out the dispute between the Manchus and the Hans, it is not to distinguish which is Manchu and which is Han, but for the sake of interests, to bring down Gui Shun or Li Hongzhang, not the purpose of Fortitude and others, they are also for the top.
used Gui Shun's military exploits to bring down Li Hongzhang, they are the next Li Hongzhang, and they took the opportunity to bring down Li Hongzhang to kill Gui Shun. They are the next Gui Shun.
This is Gu Qixing's analysis, after the desire to promote and suppress first, there is also a desire to suppress the first Yang, the twists and turns of the literati are like the nine bends and eighteen bends of the Yellow River, regardless of the attribution of interests. They have to be blinded.
Fortitude and Xu Tong led a group of clear streams to play an opening that didn't know how many birds were killed with one stone, and then the main drama and the main dish, in the eyes of Li Hongzhang and others, Fortitude, Xu Tong and others are just clowns jumping off the beam, and in the eyes of the old ladies, they are a group of monkey cubs. Even if there is a benefit, there is no share of them.
Someone opens, and things will be easier to do in the future, and with the attack of Yuan Shikai and the Beiyang family, foreign devils will also be involved in this war of words. But the final result depends on the outcome of the battle between Beijing and Tianjin, and the current results are only temporary.
put away Gu Qixing's telegram, looked at the progress of the preparations, and ensured that the financial power and materials of Jinmen were still in the hands of the Zhenwei army, and Li Dacheng continued to have nothing to do, going to the theater today, and going to sit with Old Man Sun for a while tomorrow. If you don't take a group of people to visit the various places of interest in Jinmen, your life will be very happy.
As with previous predictions, the army was almost completely wiped out by the fleets of the Great Powers. It is only a shark that can not go ashore, the situation in the Tianjin Concession is critical, the situation in the embassy area of the capital is critical, they can only watch from the sea, the gunboats can sail into the Tianjin Concession, but they don't dare. A couple of small gunboats came in, and the Krupp mountain guns could be sunk. Without the cooperation of the army, even if the battleship came, it would be a food delivery. In the narrow river, there are many ways to sink the battleship, Li Dacheng will know, and the foreign devils also know that in desperation, the fleet on the other side of Dagukou once again gave a ten-day deadline.
First it was five days, and then another ten days, and there was no exact news from Gui Shun's side, and the delay in time was also a torment for Li Dacheng, and the drill of Zhenwei Army was not too difficult, it was just a primary shooting training.
Dagu was given another ten days, Li Dacheng could no longer stand still, with the Wuwei Army as the instructor, the gunfire rang out again in the Jingu area, shooting training, can only be fed with bullets, saying that everything else is a lie, let the Xigu side send a large number of ammunition to various places, the Chinese and foreign parties can only continue to wait.
Shooting training is also a reason for all parties to attack Gui Shun, during this time, the telegram exchange between Li Dacheng and Gu Qixing is also very frequent, the telegram is fast, but there is a bad one, this thing has a record, if it is too secretive, Li Dacheng still uses people to deliver the news.
Cultivating Zhenweijun's own communication personnel can only be a delusion now, there is not enough time, there is no way, Beiyang does not support these things, and Li Dacheng can only watch.
Yang Mushi, the former army of Wuwei, was obedient, and sent it over to Peihe, and Yu Peihe was also happy to follow Guibeile, a noble family of the clan, an intelligence force composed of the three sects and nine streams of the Jinmen, and it was also built because of Peihe in the interval between Li Dacheng's plays.
When Li Dacheng continued to strengthen the Zhenwei army's control of Jinmen, Yuan Shikai and the people from the North and South Oceans also began to make trouble for Gui Shun.
The attack of these three forces is much more powerful than that of Qingliu, and the eight words of arbitrary power and domineering are interpreted by those people, which can be described as murderous, and any one of them is enough to make Gui Shun irreversible, but what is the result now?
Gui Shun's house, I'm afraid he is in Jingshi's house! The old ladies don't speak, Gui Shun is really guilty, and he is also a good person.
The situation on the Jingshi side changes three times a day, and Gui Shun's side is not grinding foreign workers in the Jingshi, and it is Gui Shun's task to go into the palace every day to report and get closer to the old ladies.
The blockade of the embassy area was lifted, and a short period of peace talks was entered, and under the prodding of Gui Shun and some people who understood, the old ladies naturally pushed the boat along the river and agreed.
This kind of negotiation has actually been going on, but after the first battle of Jinmen, there were many discordant voices among the foreign devils.
The British, French, and American diplomats headed by the British, Hurd, who was in China for more than 40 years, was a real China expert, and he understood better than anyone else the situation in the Qing Dynasty that the existence of the Qing court was conducive to the interests of all countries in China, and his remarks naturally had many supporters, and the British were now busy with the Boer War! Fighting on two fronts, using troops overseas on a large scale, the British government will not support it, starting a war, there is not enough army to rely on, the interests of the Qing Dynasty can only be divided by other countries, and they will not be able to eat the biggest cake, and the British will not be stupid to support Germany, Japan and Russia.
Germany was a radical force, and the Kaiser wanted to establish Germany's prestige overseas, and the Qing Dynasty, which was the most appropriate object for the Boxer Rebellion. Germany's 7,000 expeditionary force was already on the way, and the Germans were not very interested in the current peace talks, and they proposed to kill Gui Shun and kill the Qing officials who supported the Boxers. Such conditions, not to mention that the imperial court will not agree, even Britain, France, the United States and other countries will not support it, there is no clear victory or defeat, such conditions will only stimulate contradictions and conflicts.
Japan and Russia are wolf cubs, except for pouring * soup at the negotiating table. Both countries are actively raising troops for another war, and the Boxer Rebellion has touched too many interests, and the Qing Dynasty's stupid declaration of war on the eleven countries is also an opportunity for the two countries.
The Eastern and Western powers are nothing more than Britain, France, the United States, Germany, Japan and Russia, and as for other foreign devils, they are not qualified to be the right pair with the Great Qing Dynasty. Even if the Qing Dynasty could not defeat Little Japan, they would not have such qualifications.
Whether it was a declaration of war with the eleven countries or a declaration of war with the six countries, it did not matter to the Qing Dynasty, the Boxers at least touched the interests of Britain, France, the United States, Germany, and Russia, and the war always had to be fought, and it did not matter whether to declare war or not, or to declare war with several countries, because Japan and Russia would not let go of such a good opportunity. Even if Britain, France, and the United States did not support it, they would have started a war against the Qing Dynasty.
Little Japan can't deal with the Qing Dynasty alone, plus an old man. How to fight and how to lose, although Li Hongzhang's foreign affairs are somewhat unsatisfactory in terms of military strength, Li Hongzhang's foreign affairs are not false, and some information on Europe, America, Japan, and Russia is also real-time, and it is certain that Germany, Japan, and Russia will go to war with the Qing Dynasty. Beiyang's intelligence can determine that now is not the time for negotiations, and the southeast region will continue to pry the people below to attack Guishun. Not much action.
Li Hongzhang did not monopolize this information in Beiyang. Instead, it was given to the imperial court, and according to the information sent back by Gu Qixing, Li Dacheng estimated that in the next battle for the defense of Dagukou, the Qing side would at least face the armies of the three kingdoms, the German Expeditionary Force, Little Japan and Lao Maozi, this battle is not easy to fight!
The German expeditionary force must be the elite of the army, more than 7,000 elite army, and I don't know how many casualties the Zhenwei army will pay, once the Japanese and Russian side come, the number will exceed 10,000, plus more than 20,000 Japanese and Russian troops, there is not much chance of winning this battle, if Japan and Russia send more people, defeat is only a matter of time.
When will the German expeditionary force come, maybe! It will take about a month for Little Japan and Lao Maozi to reorganize their arms for war, and the situation is extremely unfavorable for the Qing Dynasty.
At this time, the Zhenwei army's drill was also stabbed to the side of the imperial court, such a scene is what Germany, Japan and Russia do not want to see, and the commander of the Zhenwei army, Gui Shun, has undoubtedly become the target of the three kingdoms, in the Qing Dynasty, the details of the Zhenwei army can not be hidden, a temporary patchwork together, can annihilate the army of tens of thousands of foreign devils, drilled, it is obviously a threat to the three kingdoms, please kill Gui Shun spread to the negotiation table from the court, and now Gui Shun is really the target of the public, and was roasted on the fire.
Please kill Gui Shun, please kill Li Hongzhang, the two topics of a new and an old have become a hot topic in the capital, at this time, the old ladies dare not kill Li Hongzhang or Gui Shun, the reason is simple, the result of the negotiation between the Qing Dynasty and the foreign devils is not good.
The foreign devils want to fight, but the Qing Dynasty wants to make peace but there are a lot of difficulties and dangers, at this time, who will kill Guishun to block the foreign devils and protect the old ladies? If Li Hongzhang is killed at this time, who can support the scene of peace talks? The thoughts of the old ladies, Li Dacheng can probably guess, the fire burns to this Cheng dù, and it is almost the same, let the old ladies know that Gui Shun can't be killed, which is the purpose of Li Dacheng's side, the purpose has been achieved, and it is time to show Gui Shun's ability.
After doing what everyone is targeting, it is time to become a Buddha on the spot, with Zhenwei Army in hand, Li Dacheng can guarantee that Guishun will become an invulnerable golden Buddha.
Before the negotiation with foreign devils, Rong Lu and King Qing were leading, at the negotiation table these two people compared with Li Hongzhang, not a little bit worse, the foreign devils are now extremely chaotic interests disputes, for the Qing side of the negotiation situation is very good, but if you want to do something at the negotiation table, you have to have bargaining chips.
At this time, it is time to show Gui Shun's negotiation talent, without him, Gui Shun has a big bargaining chip in his hand, that is, Zhenwei Army, that is, the Tianjin Concession.
The embassy area of the capital cannot be beaten, but the concession area, especially the Tianjin concession, can be beaten, the reason is simpler, it is not the Qing Dynasty that turns the concession area into a battlefield, but the devils of the oceans, their previous attacks on Tianjin Gate are all carried out by relying on the Tianjin Concession, this is a war zone, but it is not an embassy area that cannot be touched, even if it is the embassy area, the Boxers and the Gan army are not also fighting?
Destroying the Tianjin Concession is not very difficult for Li Dacheng, Li Dagou and Qi Shiduo have no success in the early stage, that is, they can't fight, they don't know how to use thermal weapons, there are Xigu Arsenal, Tianjin Machine Qì Bureau on the side, and the fire on the side of Jinmen. The stock of medicine is very sufficient, and it is enough to destroy the buildings in the concession area one by one with these things, and it is enough for a day or two, plus tens of thousands of Zhenwei troops outside the city, it is easy for Gui Shun to slaughter the Tianjin concession.
As long as the British can insist, at the negotiation table, Gui Shun will be able to take the lead, and then fight after the talks, and then talk after the fight, no matter who wants to kill Gui Shun, they have to pass the level of Zhenwei Army, and if they can't pass this pass, Gui Shun can't be killed!
