There has always been a tradition in the Dragon Kingdom when it comes to meetings, that is, when encountering problems, he always likes to pass the buck. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info Xu Lie's "ransom telegram", which made the imperial court, which had a high degree of unity of thought, suddenly complicated again.

For example, this group of people who originally felt that they should be encircled and suppressed by heavy troops suddenly magnified Xu Lie's ignorant and scoundrel face infinitely, and it was not enough for the people to be angry if they didn't kill him. Even Guangxu, a person who thinks that Xu Lie is a talented soldier, also thinks that Xu Lie's move is simply insulting and degrading.

Well, everyone is the same enemy, so let's encircle and suppress it!

However, when it came to the soldiers that could be sent by the imperial court, everyone wilted again. Because, the battleable soldiers of the imperial court have been reduced by seven or eight in the last battle, and the remaining armies of the Jingshi and the nearby Wuyi Army, the Gan Army and the New Army together are less than 20,000 people.

There are still nearly a million green camps in the country? Indeed, this is also the number of soldiers in the Qing Dynasty, but everyone knows that in today's green battalion, there may not be much problem in arresting a bandit in the local area or showing off his might in front of the people, but if you want to fight against the Mengshan army, Zhang Rumei led 10,000 horses to suppress the bandits, isn't it the best proof. The green battalion is unbearable!

Or, ask the Great Powers to send troops to help evaluate the rebellion? It seems that the pros and cons of this trick have been discussed before, and even those who have this idea do not dare to insist on it.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is not appropriate to overinterpret Xu Lie's 'ransom telegram'. Prisoners of war need a ransom to be rescued, and in the ancient Dragon Kingdom, it was not without precedent, and in Western countries, it also belonged to their tradition. In Weichen's opinion, Xu Lie's move is afraid that he was influenced by the West. "At the critical moment, it is still Kang Youwei who can afford it.

Of course, Kang Youwei can afford it, and he must stand it up. Although there was no Hundred Days Restoration incident in parallel time and space, it does not mean that Kang Youwei's ideal is smooth sailing, as a politician, he absolutely knows how uninterested Cixi is to him, and he can only play his role by hugging Guangxu's thighs.

Now, Guangxu has the power to deal with the affairs of Shandong independently, which is the coexistence of opportunities and challenges in the context of Kang Youwei or the imperial party. opportunity, that is, without the constraints of the rear party, Kang Youwei and others can let go and make contributions; The challenge, that is, the matter in Shandong is very complicated, and it is beneficial for everyone to do a good job, and it is difficult to face a counterattack from the imperial party at any time.

Under such circumstances, the cadres of the imperial party naturally had to go up, and they had the money to contribute and make a strong contribution.

"Don't over-interpret? Oh, Kang Aiqing, your point of view is good, your point of view...... Oh, ladies and gentlemen, what do you think? In fact, at this time, Guangxu's anger has disappeared most of his anger because of continuous discussions, but he can't go back on his word, so Kang Youwei's sentence "It should not be over-interpreted" is really good and talented.

In fact, not only the imperial party or the ministers who advocated Zhao'an had this idea of wanting to use the ladder to step down, but even the ministers who advocated serious repression also wanted to use the ladder to step down, because they found that the so-called heavy military encirclement and suppression was just a talk on paper, and the reality was that the imperial court had no troops to send at all!

In this way, it is better to recruit and appease the strategy to achieve results faster.

As a result, Liang Qichao, the minister of the imperial court, stayed for another two days before he began to set off with a few internal guards.

By the time Liang Qichao set off, the Mengshan Army had already completed various summaries of the week after the war and finalized the expansion plan for the next part.

After the plan is finalized, even if it is to send troops to Laiwu, Yiyuan, Yishui, Juxian and other places. Therefore, when Liang Qichao, the minister of the Imperial Mission, had just arrived in Jinan, the news that Xu Liemeng's mountain army had occupied several counties near Yimeng had spread all over the north and south of the river, and as for the imperial court, of course, it had also received the news. It's just that this news is not Xu Lie's telegram, but some bureaucrats and squires who have fled from the above-mentioned occupied areas.

It should be noted that even if most of the squires were not disgusted with Xu Lie's Mengshan Army, and even welcomed it, this was only the majority, not the whole. Some squires had to stand on the opposite side of Xu Lie and Mengshan because of their interests. Because their greater interests lie in the imperial court, not in the Mengshan army.

And Xu Lie's attitude is that these people who want to leave, then let's go, and take away all the family property that can be taken away. However, real estate, real estate and other real estate have to be kept, and no one can buy them.

That is to say, if you want to go, you can go, but the land and houses must be left to Mengshanjun and cannot be transferred to others. Of course, if those who are willing to stay under the rule of the Mengshan army, nothing will be affected.

Xu Lie wants to make money with this? The answer is no. This amount of money, even the five million that ransomed Nie Shicheng's asking price, Xu Lie didn't care too much, he asked the fleeing people to leave their land and real estate, to put it bluntly, it was a small punishment for those who didn't give themselves face.

Liang Qichao got the news that Xu Lie had occupied the seven counties of Yimeng, so he stopped in Jinan and didn't leave, he had to ask for Shang Fang's sword again, and the proposal to give a prefect was obviously not suitable at this time, because Xu Lie easily occupied a larger place than the territory of a prefect.

In fact, Liang Qichao didn't want to send a telegram, and the imperial court started a new round of meetings. At this time, even Guangxu himself didn't know where Xu Lie's bottom line was.

Previously, there was a premise when the imperial court discussed, that is, Xu Lie seemed to be only willing to stay in Mengyin, although the strength was strong, but there was no sign of occupying other places, so some people thought that Xu Lie was just a bandit, even Guangxu also thought that Xu Lie's external aggression was not strong, if it was not for the fact that his military strength was strong, the imperial court suddenly lost tens of thousands of elites and was in a state of no soldiers, Guangxu would rather ignore Xu Lie's affairs and treat it as if it did not happen.

It is not surprising that Guangxu has this idea. From the end of the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, it was the most chaotic era in the Dragon Kingdom, and the total number of bandits in various provinces was as high as millions. Even in Shandong, there was more than one bandit in Xu Lie at this time.

However, this bandit, who was nesting in the Mengyin Mountains, suddenly began to expand, and occupied the seven counties of Yimeng at once. This is obviously too unexpected by the imperial court.

Moreover, some ministers pointed out that Xu Bandit's move was more powerful than the rogue of Li Cheng in the previous dynasty, who only focused on channeling and destruction, but not on construction, and it was difficult to take root; Xu bandit is also more powerful than the bandit, although the bandit is powerful, also occupies a territory, and even directly establishes the country as the king, but the bandit does not pay attention to the people's livelihood, and the people in the land they occupy are full of complaints.

However, Xu Lie previously occupied Mengyin, and the people and squires were very supportive of it nine times out of ten. Moreover, the most important thing is that Xu Bandit never seems to be short of money, he is not only strategically winning the hearts of the people, but he can also use money and food to buy the hearts of the people.

Xu Bandit pointed directly at the hearts of the people, this guy is definitely more powerful than any rebel! Moreover, at this time in the development of the Qing Dynasty, there were several popular uprisings or rice grabbing trends almost every year, and the ministers knew that the people's hearts were no longer on the side of the Qing Dynasty.

Some people even analyzed that Xu Lie's move to clean up the hearts of the people was purely picking peaches on the land of the Qing Dynasty! However, no one dared to say such things publicly.
