Cixi said: "I know what you mean - therefore, we have to do foreign affairs, we have to make iron, make artillery, build ships, and strengthen the army!" Right? ”

Sister, what you say makes sense, but you may not really know what I mean.

"The Queen Mother Shengming! The minister used 'tendon meat' as an analogy, which means that the queen mother thought, a sharp axe, a strong man with a strong body, and a sick seedling with no power to restrain the chicken, the power is very different. Sick seedlings make axes, don't say that you can't exert most of the power of sharp weapons, if you are not careful, you will hurt yourself! ”

"A strong ship and a sharp cannon are indeed sharp weapons, but if you are pacing the square steps while driving the boat and the cannon, you will probably be unstable and bad."

Therefore, the minister said: You can no longer eat whole grains, you must eat beef and mutton instead; You can't keep the cat in the house anymore, you have to go out, bask in the sun, blow the wind and rain! ”

Cixi's eyes were blazing, and she said, "You mean, you want to ...... Reform the system? ”

Guan Zhuofan was singing in his heart: Sister, you are really a saint!

He pretended to be very excited, lowered his head, kissed Cixi lightly on the back of her hand, and said, "Empress Dowager Shengming! ”

Cixi Gege smiled and said, "Itchy! ”

"It's really Shengming, but the Queen Mother! Take the four things that the Queen Mother just instructed -- iron-making, cannon-making, shipbuilding, and strengthening the army -- some systems, if not changed, we may be able to make iron, cannons, ships, and 'Western French military training', and we can draw tigers and tigers like cats and dogs! The iron that is smelted is no one's fine; The cannons that are made can no one fight far; No one can run fast when a boat is built; Trained soldiers. Hard-hitting. Two more hits. It's scattered! ”

"Queen Mother, we can't paint tigers in red, we have to become tigers by ourselves!"

Cixi's heart was surging, and she came over and said softly: "This topic is too big, you have to let me think about it." ”

"Yes!"

"Well, what systems should be changed, you write me a note - not a twist. Just the two of us, discuss it privately. ”

"Yes, the minister will obey the order!"

After a pause, Guan Zhuofan said: "Also, if you want to be ashamed of the rakshasa, I think that there is one thing that we should pay special attention to-is the railway." ”

"Railroad?"

"Yes! Russia has a vast territory -- larger than China -- and is thousands of miles away from its capital city of Moscow to our Xinjiang. It is not easy to transfer soldiers, grain, and equipment; to our northeast. It's even farther - tens of thousands of miles! At present, there is no railway in Moscow in these two places, and it cannot afford to fight a big war. Therefore, as long as the northeast direction, our railway is repaired to Aljin; In the northwest direction, the railway was repaired to Dihua - the minister was sure that he would take back the place occupied by the Rakshasa people for the queen mother! ”

Dihua, i.e. Urumqi.

Cixi's blood boiled and she said, "Good! Shook Guan Zhuofan's hand tightly, and didn't know what to say for a while.

After a while, his mood calmed down a little, and he said: "If we can build a railway, will the Russians also build a railway?" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, the eastern half of Russia, the climate is extremely cold, the ground is frozen hard, called 'frozen soil'; in addition, there are countless swamps, and it is really difficult to build a railway. The minister estimated that within 20 years, they would never be able to build a railway to the extreme east. Therefore, in the northeast, our railway must have been built earlier than they built. ”

"In the northwest, there are many countries in Central Asia, and Russia will have to draw one by one, and it will take quite a while, and it will not be able to calmly build railways -- oh, the so-called 'Central Asia' is the saying of foreigners, that is, our 'Western Regions.'"

"The most important thing is that Britain and Russia are vying for supremacy in 'Central Asia', and if Russia's Central Asian railway is completed, the threat to the British will be too great. Therefore, in this matter, the British must make every effort to obstruct it. Let's 'unite Britain to reject Russia', and it's time too! ”

It's really a last resort.

Cixi exhaled lightly, remembered one more thing, and said: "I remember your original plan, the railway in the northwest direction, was to build to Lanzhou? ”

"Yes, the Queen Mother's memory is really good! The minister thought that if he only wanted to stabilize Xinjiang and build the railway to Lanzhou, it would be enough for the time being; But if you want to recover the lost land, you must build the railway to Dihua! ”

"Build the railway to Dihua, this ...... Not easy, right? ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, it's man-made! When he was in the United States, the Americans were building a large railroad across the east and west, called the 'Pacific Railroad,' which was more than 6,000 miles long and had to climb over a mountain more than 6,000 feet high. ”

"Also, most of the workers who were used to build this railway were Irish. However, the Irish were drunk and lazy, and the project was not progressing for a long time. Later, the railway company had no choice but to recruit our Chinese workers, and the progress of the project was greatly accelerated. ”

"Empress Dowager Mingjian, in the northwest, the sandstormy desert Gobi, building a railway, will inevitably be difficult and difficult. However, the open terrain may not be difficult to surpass the lofty mountains of the United States! We have the most hard-working workers in the world, and this railway must be able to be repaired! ”

After a moment of silence, Cixi said softly, "If this thing can really be done—I mean, if you can really take our things back from the Rakshasas—I don't know what to reward you." ”

"It is difficult to reward high merit", it is not a good thing for his subordinates, Guan Zhuofan was thinking about how to answer this sentence, and the royal sister then smiled and said: "Alas, I have already rewarded two princesses, otherwise...... Another queen mother? ”

Guan Zhuofan's mind was slightly "buzzing", thinking: What kind of rhythm is this?!

Before the thought was settled, his hand had already moved, and with a pull, Cixi "sighed" and fell from his seat. Guan Zhuofan hugged her soft waist and gently put her delicate body on his lap.

He incense incense on Cixi's hot cheeks, and said in a low voice: "Thank you for the grace of the Empress Dowager!" As he spoke, he put his hand into Cixi's undershirt.

At the same time, my mind was still spinning with thoughts: "Another queen mother" - what does it mean?

"Ouch, you...... That's not what I meant......"

Well? That's not what you meant?

"Hey, no, that's what I meant, but ......"

Well? What do you mean?

"Zhuo Fan, you stop for a while and listen to me......"

Guan Zhuofan's hand had already touched the chest of the royal sister, and since the warm fragrant nephrite was already in his hand, he refused to withdraw anymore. However, the movements in his hands finally complied with the decree of the Holy Mother, and stopped for the time being, "stop for a while".

Cixi gasped for breath and whispered in Guan Zhuofan's ear: "You say, can we ...... on such a day?" Go on like this? ……”

In Guan Zhuofan's mind, there was a slight "buzz" again.

He understands what "another queen mother" means.

He knew that he had encountered the biggest problem since the crossing.

But here and now, this situation, he does not allow any hesitation.

Between the lightning and flint, he gritted his teeth: the infinite scenery is at the dangerous peak!

"Back to the Queen Mother, of course you can! Even if the minister is broken to pieces......"

"No, no!" The soft fingers pressed Guan Zhuofan's lips, "I don't want you to be crushed!" I'm going to...... Live a good life with you......"

In Guan Zhuofan's mind, he "buzzed" slightly.

"Obey! Well, let's take a good day by day...... Oh no, live a good life......"

……

The "days" passed so intensely that the woman could barely suppress her moans.

"The Queen Mother, don't endure such hard work, I want to call ...... Just call it out......"

"There's a ...... out there"

"Except for Yu'er, they all sent me away, and I can't hear ......"

"That'...... Isn't there still Yu'er......"

"What are you afraid of, it's not like she hasn't heard the Queen Mother's coquettish ......"

"You...... Necrotic...... No......"

"Then I have to work hard for the queen mother, the minister is presumptuous......"

"Oops...... Yo...... What do you mean by forcing me to scream...... Yo ......"

"This song should only exist in heaven, how many times can I hear it in the world......"

"Yo...... What the? ”

"Uh, the Queen Mother is singing, like playing fairy music......"

"You...... Necrotic...... I...... I told you to take Yu'er away...... That...... Isn't there anything going on...... It's just that you are fake and generous...... Oops......"

"I just want you one!"

"Hey...... Yo...... God...... I couldn't help it......"

Finally, in the closed cabin, the woman's soul-stirring moans became irrepressibly excited, one voice higher than the other.
