54. Step by step (3)

This is to beware of Zuo Zongtang's meaning, of course, beware is not to restrict Zuo Zongtang's personal freedom, not to mention that he is still the Minister of Military Aircraft, if he goes to the field in the future and returns to his hometown, he must not restrain his freedom and send the inspection minister to monitor nearby, of course, give him a little stumbling block openly and secretly, this is normal for you to come and go, it's nothing, this wants Li Ciming to go to Changsha, this doesn't mean to say that Zuo Zongtang is not allowed to monitor, but in case Zuo Zongtang has any big package behavior, Li Ciming can finally insert a foot, so as not to disgust people everywhere like headless flies, disgusting people are just a means for the future, not what to do.

"That's the best," Li Hongzao nodded, "Xisheng's meaning, in the past, it was different from ours, this is a debate on Taoist knowledge, it is easy to let go, I am not the villain who sees the wind and steers, I don't want any dignity for the sake of the official position, but in this matter, we must keep up with Xisheng, and we must have our own ideas in it, gentlemen are harmonious and different," Li Hongzao said firmly, "As long as the king of parliament is invited down by the shareholder wind of Vietnam, it is worth it." ”

"What Yan Zhai Gong said is reasonable," Weng Tonghe said with a smile, "In the old year, the meaning of Tongzhi, in terms of it, should be at both ends of Prince Gong's Mansion and Chuxiu Palace, the palace and the palace are one, and the two of them are united, we can't interfere with anything, originally, hey, if Emperor Yingzong is pro-government, it is now good." Ay. ”

Li Hongzao's eyes were full of water, he shook his head, a little depressed, yes, if Emperor Yingzong was alive and well, according to his temperament, he would never let a Prince Gong control the government for so long. "That's it, this is also the mandate of heaven, how can manpower change it, Emperor Yingzong is the most martial, if he is still here, he will definitely not let go of the legal person so arrogant."

"But don't worry, Xisheng acts on foreigners, both soft and hard, it is impossible to give in on such a big matter, why is the agreement of Vietnam not even Guo Songtao cared about, he is also afraid of the former Qi Shan, if he signs, he will be the one who will be assigned to the army in the future."

Adhering to the will of Emperor Daoguang and the British signed the "Treaty of Nanjing" to cede Qishan of Hong Kong Island, and then was liquidated and assigned to the army, which is of course the emperor's scapegoat, Guo Songtao naturally has to guard against this, although he does not know that the Empress Dowager Cixi has never been ready to cede Vietnam, but to carry the black pot for Prince Gong, he will never will.

In the Feiyun Xuan of the Qinzheng Palace, "Although this Hu Xueyan is in Shanghai, Li Shaoquan's territory is begging for a living, but in the final analysis, he is still Zuo Zongtang's person, and he is supported by Zuo Zongtang, and his meaning may be Zuo Zongtang's meaning," Prince Gong said in a sullen voice, "He went out of the military aircraft and went home to worship his ancestors and sweep the tomb, how could he still be so non-stop!" ”

"Hu Xueyan In this way, the gentry from all over the country will enthusiastically donate, and the household department will inevitably give money." Bao Jun smiled bitterly, "I had to give an order to the five provincial feudal divisions, how much money in the treasury should be allocated, this year's autumn tax in Liangguang was originally not bad, and it seems that some of the losses will be in Yunnan." ”

The meaning of this donation is indeed wonderful, in this way, forcing the household to give silver, this is a dignified and upright plan, the household department can not say that everyone does not want to give love, then everyone has given love, the duty of the court, so don't do it?

forced the household department to give the silver, but how to give this silver, there is a big saying, "This silver is given, and it is not that no one has disposed of it," Bao Jun suggested that the inspector should supervise how the money was used, which was not good, that is, he wanted to spend the silver not very smoothly, but it was also in line with the rules, after all, it was not a wartime, and it was not said that the governor alone had the final say.

Bao Jun was still a little displeased when he saw Prince Gong, and said with relief, "Don't worry, this Hu Xueyan is just a businessman after all, dog meat can't be on the table, he is the number one person in the business world, but why should the prince care about such ants?" When to send it away, I can't touch him now, so as not to fall into the mouth, hey," Bao Jun was a little remorseful, he listened to Yixuan's words before, and gave Hu Xueyan the green light to get this chamber of commerce, but gave him a chance to jump from the sky, "I listened to Yixiao's words, otherwise Hu Xueyan was only afraid that he would still be eating behind closed doors at this time." ”

"There's no eye for it," Prince Gong shook his head, "I don't think about the future, I think there is something wrong with the current situation, this Zuo Zongtang was driven back to Hunan, why are these people still like this?" Hu Xueyan jumped out, as long as I go down, his silk association will be closed, what are you doing when you jump out? And this Zhang Youqiao, hehe, these clear streams are not good things at all, it is really common to go back on their word, and they have promised in Beijing that they will never make trouble when they go to the south, I believe in such a character, if I can tolerate him, I can only say that I have a large belly, and I can't tolerate it, and they also asked for it. These nerds are okay, they are useless scholars, and they can't turn over many winds and waves, but this Zeng Guoquan, I really don't feel at ease. ”

"Is the prince worried that he will cause trouble in Vietnam?" Jing Lian replied.

"Originally, he was not afraid at all, it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, he had no silver, and he didn't have the strength to make a flower head, but now he actually relied on the Foshan Guild to get the silver, then he naturally had to make a big move, I was only afraid of the center's will, and he couldn't restrain him, and when the time came to cause a big incident, he couldn't afford it alone, and I wanted me to clean up the mess for him."

"Then look at the Black Flag Army, the big guys say that the Black Flag Army is the nemesis of the French, isn't it that the commanders of the two French armies were killed by Liu Yongfu? Maybe these Black Flag Army will be led by Liu Yongfu, maybe when they will be able to give the French a few beats, and then they will not be able to bear the pain, so they will naturally have to withdraw from the army, so we don't need to do the regimental training in the five provinces by ourselves, and we can just watch the drama in Beiqi. ”

"It can only be like this, take a step at a time, Pei Gong Gong, this matter of Vietnam, there are not many people in the provinces who have taken care of the excerpt, but this Li Hongzhang has been excerpted, I remember that he is unwilling to do anything with the legal person?" Prince Gong asked Bao Jun.

Li Shaoquan is worried about Zhejiang's belongings, if he does it with the French, he is afraid that the merchant ships along the coast will be less than fifty percent, who would dare to come to China to do business? The land of Zhejiang and Fujian, afraid of being a battlefield, there are many small workshops, small shops, and small maritime merchants in these two provinces, all of which are counting on doing business with foreigners to be able to prosper, and he is naturally reluctant to go to war.
