Libin said: "If you go back to the Queen Mother, this is not necessary. This 'train' can 'self' with the power of fire and water. At the front of the locomotive, the first carriage burns coal, produces steam, and the steam drives the wheels, and the train has to move forward. ”

This is so unbelievable, not only were the two palaces stunned, but even there were people in the military plane who showed unbelievable expressions.

Cixi asked, "Steam? Is it the water vapor that boils water on the stove on a daily basis? ”

Libin said: "Our Lady Queen Mother Shengming is the water vapor produced by our daily boiling water. ”

Ci'an said: "What is this...... Won't the coal burning in the front of the car burn the carriage? ”

Libin said: "If you go back to the queen mother, the queen mother's words, no." ”

He paused for a moment, and then said: "The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, in fact, the steamboats that walk on the river and the sea use the same power of water and fire. The foreigners carried this set of things from the ship to the train. ”

Steamboats all know about it, but they didn't know what "steam" means "steam" before.

So that's what happened. The head of the foreign devil looks really strange, and he can think of such strange and obscene things!

Libin said: "The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, this train is extremely powerful, and one train can transport a group of people. It's also extremely fast. Horses sprint short distances, and although they are not inferior to trains, they cannot run like trains without sleep for many days. Therefore, if the march takes ten days, it is the most first-class militaristic weapon to get on the train, and the morning and evening will arrive, just like the telegraph. ”

This passage is the key, and it makes the kings and ministers of the palace pounding.

Some people thought: what if we also build a few such "railways"?

But it's a big deal. Unconceived. this occasion. No one is willing to speak out easily.

Not everything can be said to the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, such as the US election. The lord of a country was actually voted for by the common people, and he said that he would give Cixi Ci'an, so he had to frighten them.

It is only said that the Eastern Front has been repeatedly attacked, with heavy casualties, and the people's morale is boiling, which almost shakes the country's foundation. It's all about the victory on the Western Front. The whole of America sang the praises of the saints overnight, and President Lin turned the corner.

As for Grandpa Guan's rebellion against the two beautiful rebel girls in bed, it is impossible to say that it is a contribution to the early recovery of Atlanta. It is only said that Commander-in-Chief Guan is clever, and the north is attacking the south, and the rebels are in a plan, and they abandon the city and flee north in a hurry.

In the next battle, because the main force of the rebels on the Western Front has been routed, our army will sweep south, and it will be like a bamboo. The rebels are just dragging their feet. Kwan Cheuk Fan predicted. Within three months at most, there will be a good note that will be completed in the front of the Emperor. When the time comes, the teacher can return to the country to comfort his thoughts and repay his kindness.

Although the words were sincere, in the end it was just an article and a story, but the words "to repay kindness", Cixi saw it in her eyes and listened to it, but she inexplicably felt a slight fever.

The expansion of the Xuan army also brought a sum of money in the folds, but the monarchs and ministers took it for granted, and they even felt that they had made a profit on the Americans.

Ci'an said happily: "This is a strong soldier!" ”

When it comes to the recruitment of the Xuan Army, the Chinese workers enthusiastically signed up, and some people in the military plane sighed that they went to the country for thousands of miles, and in a foreign land, there were so many loyal and courageous people.

After saying that Wall and Forrestal, Bai Qiwen and other 67 foreign generals asked to be naturalized in China, and it is estimated that after the end of the war in the United States, more foreign generals and foreign soldiers will ask for naturalization, including not only Americans, but also many people from other countries. The military aircraft said: The grand scene of the coming of all countries will soon appear in my Tongzhi Holy Dynasty, congratulations!

After pouring this bowl of rice soup and the yellow curtain, the two young queen mothers couldn't hold back, and from beginning to end, they couldn't take down the smiles on their faces.

Bai Qiwen and others' naturalization applications are naturally gracious, as for whether to imitate the examples of Wall and Forrestal, the naturalization place is in Shanghai, Xuanjun returned to China, and asked Guan Zhuofan what he meant.

zuihou, the monarch and the ministers agreed, Guan Zhuofan and the grace of Xi gave the second-class Yi Yonggong.

After the military plane withdrew, Libin was left alone.

This is an extremely rare arrangement.

The atmosphere was noticeably solemn, and Libin fell to the ground, feeling uneasy.

The Empress Dowager Cixi spoke: "Libin." ”

"The minister is here."

Cixi said slowly: "I think, Guan Zhuofan chose you to do these explanations for our sisters, you must be his most confidant." ”

How did Libin answer this? He kowtowed, silent, sweat oozing from his back.

Fortunately, Cixi didn't ask him to answer, and continued: "It's like Guan Zhuofan is the most confidant of our sisters. ”

This sentence is extremely heavy, extremely heavy.

Libin was already sweating and heavily clothed.

Cixi said gently: "So, there is something I want you to ask you to tell Guan Zhuofan and ask him to give our sisters a real answer." ”

When using the word "please" for a four-grade Taoist, Libin can only kowtow, not a word.

It's all about winning the game.

Cixi laid out Shengbao's bad deeds one by one, then sighed lightly and said: "How to choose between public and private, I don't want Zhuofan to respond to the story, but to let him tell the real thoughts in his heart." Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to live up to our sisters' kindness to him. Come to think of it, he doesn't necessarily feel embarrassed. ”

Libin prostrated repeatedly.

Ci'an smiled and said, "Okay, don't kowtow, aren't you dizzy?" If you want to kowtow, ask Guan Zhuofan to come back and kowtow. ”

Ci'an has always been a little ignorant, but this sentence is very meaningful.

Libin kowtowed again, straightened up slightly, and sure enough, he didn't kowtow anymore.

Cixi smiled slightly and said: "These words, not in front of the military plane, not in the edict, you understand weishenme, right?" ”

Libin said: "Back to the words of the Queen Mother, the minister understands." ”

Cixi nodded and said, "Guan Zhuofan's reply, don't cross the clear road, just hand it to our sisters." ”

When he exited the Heart Cultivation Palace, Libin thought, it turns out that this Taoist is asking me to do this in advance as a reward.

His new official uniform was already completely soaked with sweat, but after his mind was settled, he carefully recalled every word that the two palaces said, and Zuihou came to the conclusion: all are good words, and, excellent, excellent.

Guan Zhuofan's view of the imperial court's victory is of course the concern of the two palaces, but it is not the focus of Fang Cai's remarks.

The point is that through this "private chat", the two palaces expressed the most important, intimate, and heartfelt posture to Guan Zhuofan, and the value of this attitude cannot be compared with a hundred victories.

That is to say, regardless of whether there is a disagreement between the two palaces and Guan Zhuofan's monarchs and ministers on the handling of Shengbao, and whether Guan Zhuofan's final disposition of Shengbao has been completely "understood", the subtext of the two palaces is: it will not affect this attitude, and it will not affect the most intimate relationship between the monarch and the minister.

After leaving the palace, before returning to Shanghai, Libin had to go to Guan Zhuofan's Yiyong Mansion and had a few things to give to Guan Zhuofan's sister-in-law.

After the news of the "Atlanta victory" of the Xuan army in the United States spread, several turbulent undercurrents in the political arena that had arisen since the "victory of Chattanooga" quickly surfaced.

Whether it is the "Chattanooga victory" or the "Atlanta victory", many people actually don't know the reason, they only know that "the victory is decided", and the Xuan army will soon return home in triumph.

For this victory, for this army, including Guan Zhuofan, all kinds of people and all kinds of shili are secretly making up their minds, hoping to use them for their own use.

Many of these shili are completely opposites.

One is between the Manchus and the Hans.

Many Eight Banners nobles have long been dissatisfied with the Hongyang Rebellion, the court is heavy on Han and light on Manchu, the previous Sushun is like this, and the current King Gong is still like this. complained to those in power, and always got ridicule such as "the uncle is useless".

This class of nobles is represented by Prince Horqin Monk Greenqin and Prince Rui Renshou. Monk Lingqin is slightly better, because after all, he has been leading heavy battles, and although the Eight Banners are despised, he himself is still very valued.

But Renshou and his group, not to mention that they have nothing to do in Beijing, and at most they are just doing an idle job, which is quite depressed; In addition, of course, they themselves have no worries about food and clothing, but many people with the same banner and branch have a very bad life, and they all have porridge for their families. For three days, there were relatives and wrappers who came to the door to cry poor, and they tried their best to help, but they couldn't help so much.
