The strength of the imperial court is now much inferior to before, and it can no longer be compared with the period of the First Sino-Japanese War, in addition, France's comprehensive national strength has always been higher than that of Japan, and the imperial court cannot even beat Japan, let alone France.

"You don't want a war between them." Zheng Yiqian, who was on the side, saw where Liu Jun was closing her eyes and pondering, and stepped forward and asked.

Liu Jun did not object, but got up from his chair and said: "Yes, now the imperial court has not been able to fight with France, which can only increase casualties, I think, the matter of war with France will be handed over to me in the future, after all, I and France, there is still an account to settle."

There is an account, Zheng Yiqian looked at Liu Jun in front of her suspiciously, lowered her head and thought for a while, Zheng Yiqian asked tentatively, "What are you talking about?" ”

"Yes, I'm talking about the Old Summer Palace thirty years ago, Britain and France burned down my largest palace, which took the imperial court many years to build, which can be called the garden of ten thousand gardens, which is a loss for me in China and a loss for the world. In the future, I will rob Notre Dame Cathedral too. Liu Jun said this.

Back then, Britain and France took advantage of the fire to strike, and when the imperial army was fighting with the Taiping army in the south, they brazenly sent war, for more than 30 years, even if many people in China forgot the shame, but Liu Jun did not forget that he had always kept this account in his heart, waiting for time to retaliate.

"Then I hope that the imperial court will not disrupt our plans, otherwise, I am afraid that the war will break out in advance, I think, in order to prevent accidents, we can let Feng Guozhang prepare." Zheng Yiqian said after thinking for a while.

"You go and deal with it." Liu Jun, who thought about it for a while, raised his head and said.

Drunken Immortal Building. In the room of the waves. The three negotiating ministers are now pale for a while, they didn't expect that the relationship between the imperial court and Liaodong has not been handled until now, and the imperial court would actually think of starting a war with France, I really don't know, what the imperial court sometimes thinks.

"Two Zhongtang, what do you think should be done about this matter? We are no match for the French at all, if there is a war with France at this time. Only Liaodong has benefited. After Zaitao put down the telegram in his hand, he asked Zhang Zhidong and Songpan, who were sitting in front of him.

Songpan and Zhang Zhidong glanced at each other, the two of them did not have any way at present, Ding Zhenfeng, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, had already arrived in Jiangcheng, and even Li Yuanhong, who was fighting in Hunan, also led 12,000 men and horses from his headquarters to Liupanshui, which could enter Qujing, Yunnan at any time, and in the fifth town of the new formation of Zunyi Prefecture, he also began to assemble in the shrimp, Huojiaozhou, and beach generation. Prepare to drive to Wujiang.

The secret that Songpan is an intelligence officer in Liaodong has not been known until now, he has received Liu Jun's order to prevent the imperial court from going to war with France, bowed his head and thought for a while, Songpan looked at Zhang Zhidong in front of him, and then said: "Zhongtang, Lafayette has always obeyed your old words, you see that you will go to Chengdu or not." Dissuade us, we cannot go to war with France at the moment. ”

Zhang Zhidong didn't know about this situation, but at present, he didn't get an edict from the imperial court, so he couldn't leave at all. “

"Having said that, the old man didn't get any ........ from the imperial court."

"Oh, Lord Zhongtang, when is this, you still think about this, this king thinks, Lafayette will not blame you, you should go back quickly." Zaitao on the side didn't wait for Zhang Zhidong to finish speaking, and immediately interrupted and said.

"Okay. In this case, the old man will go to Chengdu. After saying this, Zhang Zhidong stood up and began to prepare.

Chengdu Longquanyi Palace. Zaifeng kept walking back and forth in his palace. He was very anxious in his heart, and that day Cixi urgently summoned the military department and the household department. When he was the governor of Yungui, Zaifeng knew that something was going to happen, and sure enough, early the next morning, the imperial court ordered the transfer of troops in the southwest Yungui area, and asked the household department to raise military rations within a month for half a year. This sudden order made Zaifeng almost collapse, the imperial court had just finished Guangxu's funeral, and it was a bad omen to move troops at this time. But the imperial court has nothing to discuss, so he gave Zaitao the situation here, hoping that he can let one of Songpan and Zhang Zhidong come back quickly, otherwise, the imperial court may not even be able to hold this point.

Cixi didn't know about the situation of the troops, which was understandable, but she knew that the military attachés in the imperial court knew what the troops of the imperial court had become now.

It's okay to rob homes and rob people, but if you go to war, it's very difficult.

Hey, Zaifeng, who sighed, looked at the palace in the distance, he was somewhat resentful in his heart, if it weren't for Cixi's strong request to build the palace and embezzle military expenses, the court would not have ended up like this.

"Lord Wang, Baoji telegram." Resentment was useless, and when he heard the telegram, Zaifeng immediately turned around and motioned for his subordinates to leave, and then opened the telegram in his hand.

Zhang Zhongtang has been anti-Chengdu.

Finally came back, Zaifeng was relieved to see the content of the telegram, if Zhang Zhidong came back, everything would be much easier.

Yang'en Palace, Cixi kept knocking and placing it in front of Mu Yu, in the whole room, where she was alone, even Li Lianying, now standing outside the door in a regular manner, not daring to disturb.

This time, Cixi launched an increase in troops on the Yunnan border, without the consent of anyone in the imperial court, all of which Cixi said a word, and the ministers below began to deal with it, even if it was Li Lianying, they only knew about it after the incident.

Lafayette's move stinks too much, this is what Li Lianying said in private, even Li Lianying knows that Cixi's handling of things this time is the most inappropriate. She didn't look at the current situation in the imperial court, just to fight for a breath and fight with powerful foreigners, which was simply looking for death.

Knock knock knock...... The sound of the wooden fish beating stopped, and Cixi slowly opened her eyes, hoping that this would start the war and that she would be able to win.

In fact, in Cixi's heart, she regretted it, but if she said it, she spilled the water, and now she has no one to give her a step down, and the surrounding ministers dare not refute it, which makes it very difficult for Cixi to deal with it, and she wants to issue an order to let the people below revoke the withdrawal, but once she says it, where is her majesty, where is the majesty of the court, these things are combined, even if Cixi has the heart, she does not have the strength to say it.

She also knows that she can't fight France at the moment, but now, if she says it, hey...... (To be continued.) )
