Sell newspapers! Sell newspapers! The Northwest Army mutinied, and Turpan, the king of Zhennan, was assassinated! ”

"Selling newspapers and selling newspapers, the Empress Dowager inspected the northwest and was placed under house arrest in Gongning City!"

"Blockbuster news, Northwest Rebellion! Feng Renxuan, the governor of Anxi, called the king self-reliant! ”

Early in the morning, the sound of selling newspapers one after another attracted passers-by in a hurry, the assassination of the king of Zhennan, the house arrest of the queen mother, and the rebellion in the northwest.

Although the imperial court and Yuan Qi jointly blocked the news of the northwest, some well-informed people had learned some of the situation of the mutiny in the northwest through foreign cable telegrams, and most of the news about the northwest in the provinces came from this.

However, the amount of information that the telegram could convey was limited after all, and the understanding of the situation of the Northwest Mutiny was also very limited in various countries, which also led to the fact that the provinces had different accounts about the Northwest Mutiny, and various versions appeared one after another, but in fact, very few people knew the specific situation of the Northwest Mutiny.

Now that the newspapers have publicly reported in detail the various situations before and after the Northwest Mutiny, everyone knows that the severity of the Northwest Mutiny far exceeds the previous versions, and for a time there was an uproar and heated discussions among the government and the opposition.

The officials and gentry were worried about the safety of the Empress Dowager and the emperor, and discussed what kind of consequences the rebellion in the northwest would cause, the industrialists and businessmen were worried about investment and business in the northwest, and the people were worried about civil strife.

As for those who have relatives and friends in the northwest, they are even more worried, because it is really a troubled world, and human lives are as cheap as grass in troubled times, whether it is a rebellion or a counterinsurgency, they don't know how many lives will be filled, so there is no reason not to worry.

For financial speculators, the Northwest Rebellion is tantamount to a rare opportunity for speculation, the price of gold has risen, and the stock market has also risen.

Shareholders who have experienced countless wars are already sparrows on Dongting Lake - frightened, they have long overcome the panic of war, and instead regard every war as a rare opportunity for speculation.

Although this time it was not a foreign war but a civil strife, no one believed that this rebellion in the northwest would have serious and disastrous consequences for the Qing Dynasty, which was no longer the scene of the Taiping rebellion thirty years ago, and that the rebellion in the northwest would soon be quelled.

As soon as the phone was put down, it rang again, Zhao Liewen picked up the microphone with a depressed and helpless face, it was not yet eight o'clock, and the calls to inquire about Yi Zhi's assassination were one after another, he was busy and didn't even have time to drink tea, he kept answering the phone in the morning, only talking about dry mouth, and the phone for the first time in his life was really annoying.

Yi Zhizhi was reading the newspaper and drinking tea leisurely outside, and the phone rang six or seven times before Zhao Liewen picked up the phone, couldn't help laughing, got up and paced to the door, and instructed Chen Mengzhu who was waiting outside the door: "Let the switchboard directly transfer the phone to the secretarial department, and say that I am out." ”

He didn't intend to rectify Zhao Liewen, in fact, the calls he transferred in were basically from Beijing and the military and political dignitaries from various provinces, and it was a bit inappropriate to let the secretary borrow the phone, but at this point, it was a late greeting, and it was not polite.

Seeing that the phone was no longer ringing, Zhao Liewen rubbed his somewhat sour cheeks and walked out, poured a cup of herbal tea and drank it all, and then said: "If you really plan to start a war in the northwest, you must connect to the wired phone in the northwest as soon as possible." ”

"As a reminder, priority should be given to connecting to the northwest's corded phone." Yi Zhizhi nodded, in the past two years, the speed of domestic communication development has been very rapid, the cable telegraph has basically covered the town level, the wired telephone has been very popular since its launch, and the speed of popularization is quite rapid, after all, it is not difficult to set up telephone lines along the railway line.

As the two were talking, Yi Zhengxing walked in quickly with a telegram, "Gong Ning Zuo Jigao has called, begging for permission to escort the Empress Dowager and the Emperor back to Beijing." ”

After taking the telegram and scanning it twice, Yi Zhizhi said: "He should not know that he has publicly reported the Northwest Mutiny." ”

Zhao Liewen said faintly: "He doesn't want to bear this notoriety." ”

After hesitating, Yi Zhengxing said: "This matter itself is a little unfair to Zuo Feng and ....... ”

"Injustice?" Yi Zhizu laughed and said: "The Northwest Army mutinied, my special train was bombed, the Empress Dowager was trapped, the situation in the Northwest is erosive, and the two of them are inescapable of being blamed as governors. ”

Yi Zhengxing opened his mouth, but after all, he still didn't say anything, although Zuo Zongtang is the governor of Xinjiang, he actually does not have much binding force on the Northwest Army, and the pot of the Northwest Army is really a little wronged for him to bear, but there is such an earth-shattering thing under his rule, and he is indeed to blame as the governor.

Zhao Liewen smiled and said, "Do you want to go to the northwest?" ”

Seeing that he had seen through his thoughts, Yi Zhengxing did not deny it, and said straightforwardly: "If the northwest starts a war, it is really a rare opportunity to experience, and Yuan Qi has always attached great importance to the northwest, and if he has the opportunity to go to the northwest for training, he naturally does not want to miss it." ”

"Even if there is a war in the northwest, it will have to wait until next year." Yi Zhishu said slowly: "Since you have a heart, do more homework, don't limit yourself to the military, and learn as much as you can about ...... in all aspects." ”

This is agreed, Yi Zhengxing was overjoyed, it seemed that his previous guess was good, and he really wanted him to go to the northwest to practice, so he immediately nodded and agreed.

Yi Zhishu continued: "The situation in the northwest is far more complicated than you think, all ethnic groups in the northwest, especially the ethnic groups in Anxi, have always been grass on the wall, whoever is strong will be attached to whom, lack of sense of belonging, but also lack of cohesion, to completely consolidate Anxi, it is not an easy task, nor can it be done by one generation or two generations."

However, in the hands of our generation, we must lay a solid foundation for future generations, the reason why the northwest is used as bait this time, of course, is out of the needs of the general pattern, but there is also the intention to take the opportunity to completely rectify the northwest. ”

Although these words were peaceful, they were murderous, but Yi Zhizhi secretly sighed in his heart, this is really a good era, at least you don't have to be tied up, many scruples, after all, no one talks to you about human rights, universal values, and there are no international conventions like this.

Of course, if you are strong enough! The fist is big enough and hard enough, otherwise it will be a true Dark Age.
