Although through the curtain, Cixi still took in the expressions of the ministers below one by one.

Since yesterday, the Beijing division was first besieged by the Japanese army, but it was surrounded but not fought, and then the Japanese soldiers gave up the Tongzhou Telegraph Office.

Cixi knew that this Qing-Japanese war was really over.

To tell the truth, since I knew that Wuyi had arrived at Shanhaiguan, she had always been a sleepless Cixi, but this time she was really relieved.

Since yesterday, Cixi, who has not been fragrant these days, has eaten a few delicious meals in a row, and slept sweetly until dawn yesterday.

The eunuchs and female officials under his command, including Li Lianying, an old thing, looked cautious and scared, and Cixi wanted to laugh when she saw it.

However, she can't tell anyone what is deep in her heart.

Prior to this, they even made their terms to the British ministers in the East: to cede Korea, 300 million in compensation, to cede Taiwan, the Penghu Islands, and the Liaodong Peninsula, to have the right of independent navigation in the Yangtze River and Pearl River systems, to open treaty ports, and to have the same trade rights as the West.

Can't let Cixi put her mind at ease.

Among these conditions, Korea, Taiwan, and the Penghu Islands, which ceded overseas territories, opened treaty ports, and the East had the same trade rights as the West.

In Cixi's eyes, this is not a matter.

As for the Yangtze River, the Pearl River water system is free to navigate, as long as it does not hinder the affairs of the Qing Dynasty and does not break the rules of the Qing Dynasty, it is not a big problem.

It is the Liaodong Peninsula, 300 million silver taels, these two are really painful.

300 million taels of silver, Xiao Yi really dares to open his mouth widely, and he is not afraid of supporting them alive?

- However, there were three or four billion people in the Qing Dynasty, and there were less than one or two people on their heads, so it was not impossible to negotiate.

The only troublesome place is the Liaodong Peninsula, although it is now a barren wild hill, but after all, it is the place of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty.

Taizu Taizong's imperial tombs are all there, how can they be easily handed over to the barbarians?

However, as the so-called sky-high price is repaid on the spot, as long as you are willing to sit down and talk with a friendly person, in Cixi's view, you can always reach a peace that is satisfactory to both parties.

In the past, what Cixi was really afraid of was not this, but the fear that these 'lions opened their mouths', which were actually just a trick for the Japanese to sabotage Western interference and mediation.

And they are afraid that the real purpose of the Orient is to overthrow the rule of the Eight Banners and return to China, as they wrote in the "Book of Telling Haojie".

These days, Cixi has been unable to sleep and eat, especially after learning that the Japanese soldiers broke through the barrier, and actually captured Qiaoshan Town, and the fleet took Weihaiwei.

When she slept at night, Cixi was sweating profusely and trembling all over.

However, since yesterday's Japanese soldiers surrounded the Beijing Division, but let go of the Tongzhou Telegraph Office, Cixi's heart that had been hanging in the air to death immediately landed properly.

"It turns out that the ultimate goal of the Japanese is nothing more than silver and land, as they said in the conditions before."

Then there is no doubt that in order to obtain these things, the Japanese will never easily do anything out of the ordinary to the Qing imperial family to ensure the Forbidden City's control over China.

The old and cunning Cixi had completely seen the 'cards' and the bottom line in the hands of the East at this time, so she dared to let the tough fortitude inform the Western minister to halve the supply of eggs and meat for the Japanese outside the city.

It was to force the Japanese army to send troops and use their strength to defeat the Jinmen armed forces in He Changying's hands.

Right.

Now after understanding the 'cards' in Dongyang's hand, Cixi is not afraid of the Japanese soldiers at all.

From this time on, she was already thinking more long-term and planning for the post-war events in advance.

For example, this sudden rise of this army gradually shows the anti-Japanese army that is out of tune!

In the Taiping Disaster thirty years ago, Changmao plagued most of the Qing Dynasty, and it was not easy to exterminate it, but the Hunan Army, the Huai Army, and the Chu Army were born on it, and a large number of local forces with real power were born.

Then the imperial court tried its best, left and right, supported the Huai system, the Chu system, suppressed the Hunan system, and then split it step by step, and finally passed the Jinmen teaching case, which completely collapsed and shaved Zeng's head.

Who knew that Li Hongzhang had grown into a super tiger on the side of the Beijing Division with the help of the Hunan Department and the tiger skin of the Westernization Movement.

In recent years, Beiyang has become increasingly rebellious, and the control of the imperial court has become more and more inadequate.

It's just that Cixi thought that Li Hongzhang was already in his seventies, and he wouldn't be able to jump for two days sooner or later, and his sons were not successful, so they all pinched their noses and admitted it, just waiting for the old tree to fall, and then the tree fell and scattered.

However, Li Hongzhang wants to cultivate the next generation of successors in Beiyang, which is tantamount to touching the bottom line of the imperial court.

Therefore, Guangxu used the war to attack Beiyang, and Cixi also pretended to turn a blind eye.

Now that Beiyang and Lao Li have finally been defeated, Cixi certainly doesn't want to see He Changying, Li Jingfang, these remnants of Beiyang take advantage of the situation to rise again.

In Cixi's view, the Lushun Army, the Beiyang Naval Division that entered the Port of Lushun, He Changying, Li Jingfang, Jia Qisheng, Xu Bangdao, and Xia Qingyun who had assembled at Shanhaiguan before.

The step-by-step arrangement here is so sophisticated, full of Li Hongzhang's shadow.

She never believed that just with He Changying, a hairy boy in her early twenties, who was still a sesame sentinel more than half a year ago, she could have such a splashing energy!

To put it bluntly, Lao Li still had a ghost idea in the back, competing with the imperial court, and wrestling his wrists.

However, if this was all there was to it, Cixi would not be in a hurry to force the Japanese soldiers to attack the Jinmen army that resisted the Japanese army.

But before, the Minister of the Oriental Army, Yama Prefecture Youpeng's 'Liaodong, the Korean Qing Army', these words made Cixi see something different.

Thus a deep vigilance was created.

Young people are strong-blooded, hot-blooded and impulsive, contemptuous of etiquette, and lawless.

This Cixi knows.

She also had a light year this year, and she understood the big and wild of her heart at that time.

Now in charge of southern Liaoning, tens of thousands of generals who are directly subordinate to the anti-Japanese army are all a group of young people in their early twenties.

Once in the future, tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers withdrew to the East.

Throughout Zhili, the imperial court was empty.

There are tens of thousands of elite anti-Japanese soldiers in Jinjing, as well as tens of thousands of anti-Japanese troops and Beiyang Army that can be quickly sent to Tianjin Gate from Lushun by sea.

Just thinking about it, Cixi was chilling all over her body.

I have to guard against it!

"Send a telegram to Wang Wenshao, the Japanese warships are in Tanggu, Li Hongzhang is the pillar of the Qing Dynasty, and he must not be in danger, and immediately escort Li Hongzhang's whole family to Beijing safely; Passing on the edict to Zhang Zhidong, He Changying, the deputy commander of Lushun, immediately took his parents to Jinling to settle down, and when the Japanese retreated, the mourning family wanted to see these two old people with their own eyes and ask them how to raise children. ”

In the hall, several old foxes who had cultivated into old demons were all slightly stunned in their hearts.

The Queen Mother, it's still a good way back then!

Soon, Resolute arrived at the eastern suburbs of Minxiang and met the British Minister Ogga, who was a lesson and complained.

The two sides parted unhappily.

Recently, when the news reached the headquarters of the 1st Army in Tongzhou City, Youpeng in Shan County was stunned at first, and then pondered for a long time, and did not understand what this meant.

Is it to force the Combined Fleet to retreat?

But the punishment is too child's play!

Can it be understood that as long as the 1st Army eats less meat and eggs, it can attack Jinmen as much as it wants?

What is the rationale for this?

Previously, through the Tongzhou Telegraph Office, Youpeng of Shanxian County had already known that the bombardment of Tanggu by the Combined Fleet was actually a troop containment, in order to facilitate the landing of the 11th Brigade of the Army at the mouth of the Tang River.

Moreover, after the landing, the 11th Brigade will not attack Jinmen, but will go directly to Yanjing and join the 1st Army.

Although in the eyes of Youpeng in Shanxian County, this is completely unnecessary and superfluous, but come on, anyway, Daqing is in charge of rice.

But Lafayette of the Qing Dynasty, what does it mean to do this?

There are friends in Shanxian who think about it and don't think about it.

Of course, Yama Prefecture did not explain the true intentions of the combined fleet to Ogerg, in case the Qing Dynasty knew about it, and prevented the army from landing.

In this way, until late at night, the old fox Youpeng in Shanxian County barely came to his senses.

He patted the bed board with admiration and sighed: "This old woman is a mess of paste on the outside, but she is a real expert in internal fighting!" ”
