If the military salaries and grain and grass can't keep up, you can tell me that I will let the Central Bank of China give loans, and the grain will be easy to handle, and after Shandong and Anhui are pacified, they will be transported from the south of the Yangtze River!" President Meng smiled and said: "The main thing is transportation, I plan to build a direct railway to Lanzhou, when the time comes, all problems will be solved, where there is a railway, there is no need to worry about transportation." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Zuo Zongtang and Hu Xueyan are both excited, Huaguo is willing to take out a loan? But Zuo Zongtang still didn't speak, Huaguo loan, what has become of this?

Seeing that they didn't speak, President Meng stood up with a smile, "I see, Li Zhongtang and Lord Zuo live in the Beijing Hotel, right?" I've already sent someone to contact the palace, and I'll reply later. ”

Princess Katrina Kafu saw that President Meng had the intention of leaving, and also stood up, Zuo Zongtang and Li Hongzhang, Hu Xueyan also hurriedly stood up, Zuo Zongtang was angry when he came, but he didn't know how, after seeing Xuan Yuemeng, it was always Xuan Yuemeng who was talking, Zuo Zongtang couldn't get angry at all, and the momentum was completely suppressed by Xuan Yuemeng, it seems that he and Li Hongzhang are two people, in Xuan Yuemeng, are transparent.

"Two adults, take a good rest, you have contributed too much to the country, you have stolen half a day of leisure, it's time to have a good time, you can tell my guards about anything." President Meng smiled and shook Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang's hands and said: "No need to send, I'll go back to the President's Mansion, if the two adults are interested, you can also go to my President's Mansion to play, Li Zhongtang has been there, Lord Zuo hasn't been there, no matter what time it is, the door of my President's Mansion is open to the two teachers." ”

President Meng was an adult for a while, and he used a public-to-public title, and for a while he was a teacher, and he used a personal title, which made Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang dizzy, and the two of them couldn't say anything except for the uh-huh.

After Xuan Yuemeng left, Zuo Zongtang frowned and said, "I haven't seen you for more than two years, is this still the child I saw in Tianjin?" ”

Li Hongzhang felt funny, and saw that Zuo Zongtang and Hu Xueyan seemed to have such questions, and said with a smile: "Think about it, he can pocket half of China, without this demeanor, how can he do it?" Therefore, Ji Gao said that he admired Xuan Yuemeng the most throughout the ages, which is not unreasonable, and I also think the same way, he calls me a teacher, and I have long been eager to call him a teacher. ”

"Haha." Hu Xueyan shook his head with a smile, "Yes, in front of Xuan Yuemeng, I feel that I have lived to my back for the past forty or fifty years." But Lord Zuo, if Huaguo is really willing to support our use of troops in the northwest, you just want to pacify the northwest for the Qing Dynasty, and at the same time maintain a fighting force. ”

Zuo Zongtang shook his head and said, "What combat power can it have?" In that case, he really became Xuan Yuemeng's watchdog, didn't you see it? From beginning to end, Xuan Yuemeng didn't take us seriously, and the attitude he spoke just now was like me and Li Zhongtang, both of whom were his subordinates. ”

Li Hongzhang nodded and said, "Ji Gao's words are to the point. Yes, Xuan Yuemeng doesn't have to take us in his eyes for a long time, he is now in order not to make a mess, so he didn't make a big move, otherwise, with the style of the Chinese army, he must be an undeclared war and defeat our soldiers and horses in Datong, or annihilate! ”

Zuo Zongtang frowned, took a bottle of Moutai on the coffee table, poured himself a glass of wine, and smelled it, "Good wine, it's a pity, it's someone else's wine." ”

Li Hongzhang smiled bitterly, poured a cup, and sniffed it, "It's your own, it's just that the master has changed." ”

Zuo Zongtang and Hu Xueyan's eyes widened, and Zuo Zongtang hurriedly said, "Have you thought about it?" Do what Xuan Yuemeng said? What are we going to do? Where does the Qing Kingdom go? ”

In fact, President Meng has just said very clearly, the Great Qing Kingdom continues, but it exists in name only! If Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang don't want too many people to die in China, they will follow him!

Li Hongzhang waved his hand, "I didn't say anything." ”

Li Hongzhang said, drank a glass of wine painfully, and worked hard for more than ten years, he suddenly didn't know what he had done before, as if he had a dream.

Zuo Zongtang also understands that now, the key depends on Cixi's attitude.

That night, Cixi heard that she could see Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang, so she urgently summoned her, and Cixi was really anxious!

Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang knelt in front of Cixi and Ci'an, "Say hello to the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother." ”

Cixi wiped her tears and said, "Get up." ”

Although the Forbidden City was banned, President Meng did not prevent Cixi and Ci'an from coming and going, they could still move around freely, but they could not see Empress Lihuang and Jiegege, nor could they see Empress Yaxin again, let alone leave the palace.

Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang struggled to get up from the ground, stayed in the Beijing Hotel, and ate very well, but people were in a bad mood, their energy was not continued, and they felt very tired.

Cixi wiped her tears and controlled her emotions, "It's hard for you two to come at this time." ”

Li Hongzhang sighed and said: "It's Weichen who is useless, he can't share his worries for the Queen Mother, I didn't expect the situation to deteriorate so quickly." ”

Cixi looked at Zuo Zongtang, she was still relieved of Li Hongzhang, if Li Hongzhang wanted to rebel, he would have reversed a long time ago, and Zuo Zongtang was able to come today, in fact, he was also relieved to Zuo Zongtang, "You all talk about it, what should I do now?" Dividing the Forbidden City is not allowed to make the entire Qing Dynasty too much. ”

Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang saw that Cixi's attitude was so tough, and there was no way, they didn't know what to say, in fact, although the two of them had not discussed, but the original intention had been agreed, in their hearts, they had already faintly agreed with Xuan Yuemeng's division, to be honest, the Qing court simply did not have the ability to keep Shandong, Anhui and northern Jiangsu, already under Xuan Yuemeng's attack, the meeting between the north and the south is inevitable, as for the Forbidden City, it is not worth insisting, Xuan Yuemeng can leave several palaces of the last dynasty to the imperial court, It's just that he has saved face, unless, he doesn't want Beijing and moves the capital.

Cixi saw that Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang didn't speak, and couldn't help crying, and the Empress Dowager Ci'an cried together, the Empress Dowager Ci'an was originally a person who had no idea, at this time, except crying, there was nothing else to do, everyone felt that they were deceived by Xuan Yuemeng, from the entry of the Chinese army to the second closure of the Forbidden City by Xuan Yuemeng, how long did it take? Empress Dowager Cixi doesn't think that it was because she beat Yaxin that she got into this situation, as an outstanding political figure, she would not be without this vision.

After talking for more than half an hour, it was basically nonsense. (To be continued.) )
