Cixi's heart was shocked, she was silent for a while, sighed slightly, and said, "This ...... It's not something that can be done in a moment. ”

The so-called "it can't be done in a while", the subtext is "this is not urgent". The words of the Queen Mother are somewhat dismissive.

Cixi's reaction was expected by Guan Zhuofan, and he said: "What the Queen Mother said is that this is indeed not a matter of burning eyebrows. Kechen thought that it was precisely because this matter could not be done overnight that he had to start early--if it was really time to do it when the eyebrows were burned, it would be too late! ”

Cixi was shocked again, conspired for a moment, and said softly: "What do you think about this matter, let's hear it." ”

"Yes!"

Guan Zhuofan thought for a while and said: "The Eight Banners are the foundation of the country, and at the beginning of the country, the foundation was not stable. Otherwise, there are too few Manchus and too many Han people, and if there is no boundary between each other, as time goes by, the Manchus will inevitably not be visible, and it is possible to be completely 'dissolved' by the Han people. In this way, the clan will have nothing to rely on, and the descendants of Taizu will not have enough confidence when they are in charge of the country. ”

Cixi muttered and said, "You can't say this on the table—but you can't say it more thoroughly!" So, now ......"

"It's a very different situation now."

Guan Zhuofan gently pulled a strand of hair on Cixi's face back to her ear and said: "'The Eight Banners are the foundation of the country', this is good, but there are conditions. First, the flag man must be angry. If the flag people do not fight for strength, this 'national foundation' is not a solid stone base. Rather, they were piled up with lumps of dirt. The minister is abrupt. I don't like to hear the words - the Queen Mother, please think about it. The two palaces are under the throne and listen to the government...... Uh, but it's a lump of dirt, uh, what's that like? ”

Cixi was shocked, her face pressed against Guan Zhuofan's chest, listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat, and was silent.

After a while. opened his mouth and said: "No one can tell me this except you." Well, I remembered what Su Shun said: 'There are a lot of bastards among our banner people!' Su Shun is a bastard, he is not a bastard. ”

Three "bastards" in a row, but they were full of words, Guan Zhuofan smiled slightly, and said: "Queen Mother Shengming! ”

Cixi also smiled slightly, soft fingers. Slid lightly on his chest: "Fortunately, inside the flag man." In the end, there was a Guan Zhuofan. ”

Uh, this ......

"The Queen Mother's Gold Award, the minister is really scared. However, 'one fence with three piles, one hero with three gangs', although the minister is trying his best, it is not possible to fight alone. ”

"That's right. Well, that...... Can Ixan help you? ”

Hey, why did you bring Ixan out again?

"Ixan is a good hand at leading troops to fight, but his ability to manage things is not visible for the time being. However, if you have the opportunity, you might as well let it out and experience it. ”

"Well, let's talk about this, I'm off topic - is this the 'first', and the 'second'?"

"Yes."

After a pause, Guan Zhuofan said: "Second, if there is nothing in the world, the 'Eight Banners System', the 'national capital', can still be perfunctory if it is repaired and repaired." However, the current situation at home and abroad is really a great change that has not been seen for thousands of years, like a storm and a storm, and the papier-mâché windows can't stop the storm, so they must be replaced with glass! ”

Cixi didn't speak, a slender finger like a green onion tube, and subconsciously tapped lightly on Guan Zhuofan's chest, obviously thinking fiercely.

After a long while, Cixi said, "If you go on, I'll listen." ”

"Yes. Let's talk about the country first, Hong Yang's big chaos, Empress Dowager Lai is worried and diligent, and the command is appropriate, and it is finally calm. But there are two consequences, but they are inevitable: one is the uselessness of the flag man, which can no longer be covered; One is that locally, the power of the Han people has increased. The Queen Mother, please note that the south and north of the Yangtze River are all over the important Jin, not only the Hunan and Huai systems. In Jiangsu, Shandong, and other places, it is impossible not to do without Han people -- even Ding Shijie in Guangdong, in fact, is also a 'Han army'. ”

Cixi's heart moved slightly: Guan Zhuofan "put" himself into these words, he really does not avoid suspicion, and his loyalty is palpable!

At this time, the finger that was moving on Guan Zhuofan's chest happened to touch Guan Zhuofan's hand, so he held it, pinched it gently, and said: "What you said is very - others can no longer say it so clearly!" The imperial court is also guarding against the slightest, so as not to be big in the future! ”

This kind of action, Cixi rarely does, Guan Zhuofan's heart fluttered, and in turn he held the royal sister's Rouyi, put it to his mouth, kissed it gently, and said: "Thank you for the Empress Dowager's award - Empress Dowager Shengming!" ”

Cixi smiled coquettishly and said, "Don't make trouble...... Itchy! ”

Guan Zhuofan put down the hand of the royal sister, and said solemnly: "The minister has a heartfelt word, and I also ask the queen mother to accept it: the imperial court can only receive power from the local government, but it cannot receive it from the Han people!" ”

Cixi was silent for a moment and said, "I know what you mean: since you have to rely on others to do things, you can't help but give people power. In fact, the situation is the same at the central and local levels. Alas, in the final analysis, it is always our flag people who are not angry! ”

sighed and said in a very unwilling tone: "That class of 'uncles', can't you really cheer up?" It's like...... Just like the 'Shenji Battalion' run by Lao Qi, everyone outside is a joke and says, 'If you see a thief, you have to run away, you have to hire a replacement early, and you have to enter the camp less' - I know it all in the palace! ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, got an idea, patted Guan Zhuofan lightly, and said excitedly: "It's better to give you the magic machine!" Will you be able to train them? ”

This-

Guan Zhuofan said: "The queen mother trusts her, and the minister is very grateful. However, in this way, where is the seventh master? He can't ignore his face. Furthermore, if the Shenji Battalion is handed over to the ministers, although the ministers may not be able to 'practice' them, but, first, the foundation is not good, it is a matter of half the effort, spending several times more energy and paying for weapons, spending more and earning less, it is really not a business experience - it is just that it can really be practiced, I am afraid that the weak will be eliminated all the way and the strong will be retained, and in the end, no one will be available! ”

"Second, when the minister really trains the Divine Machine Battalion, the people who can probably offend have already been offended."

This last sentence is very profound. The flag is difficult to do, or even impossible to do, where is the root, although it is euphemistic, but it is extremely transparent.

Cixi was silent, and after half a sound, she said: "Your 'pilot' of 'buying out the flag age' is doing a good job. ”

The implication is that the "buyout of the flag age", which was originally thought to be difficult to get to the sky, can be done, why can't the Shenji Battalion be trained?

Guan Zhuofan said: "Shengming is not the queen mother, in the end, the 'buyout flag age' is still a 'pilot', if it is fully rolled out, the minister doesn't know what the situation will be?" To put it another way, 'buying out the age of the flag' is 'picking up the soft pinch of the persimmon first', picking the poorest flag man to start - not to mention that there are three hundred taels of silver with white flowers there, even if you don't give a penny, there will be people who are willing to 'go out of the flag'! But, the Divine Machine Battalion—"

Guan Zhuofan's words stopped, but Cixi knew what he was going to say: almost all of the errands in the Shenji Camp were relatives and nobles, and even if many people were so poor, they could still speak to a certain prince, a certain Baylor or a certain Fujin.

Cixi was upset in her heart, sighed, and said, "According to this, it is better not to run this divine machine camp in the first place, so as not to waste so many weapons!" ”

Guan Zhuofan said in his heart: It should be like this. - However, he was not able to say this, so he could only remain silent.

What he didn't say also included: At the beginning of the creation of the Shenji Battalion, Wenxiang was determined to operate, and it was still quite impressive. After King Alcohol took over, "Wang Erxiao celebrates the New Year, and a year is not as good as a year". At this point, there is no point in rectifying it.

Cixi sighed again: "Alas! It's also hard! ”

Then the voice said wistfully: "That is to say, you can really only use Han people!" ”

Guan Zhuofan said: "The Queen Mother Shengming. This is true at home, and even more so when the minister is talking about foreign affairs. The world outside is changing with each passing day, and there are really new tricks every day, perfunctory, and brainless, and it is really impossible to deal with foreigners. ”

After a pause, he said in a very solemn tone: "The minister thinks that since he wants to use others, he is not like what foreigners say, and only treats others as 'second-class citizens'." Otherwise, as the days go by, people will inevitably deviate from morality. Shengming is no more than the Queen Mother: If you want others to do things, you can't help but give people power; But when they were in power, they had a strange mind, and asked the Queen Mother to think about it: How did you get this situation? ”

Cixi is really "shocked and shocked"!
