Cixi is too smart, Yi? Just one sentence to point this point out.

Liu Jun is sick, although everyone knows that this disease is faked. But now, I can only push the boat down the river, looking at it clearly and pretending to be confused.

Abundant? The meaning is to take advantage of Liu Jun's illness to send ministers to bring some precious medicinal materials and some rewards, so that he can recuperate with peace of mind. When the illness is cured, it is not too late to come to Beijing.

With Liu Jun's ability, Yi? Know, he should know what the court means, that is, not to blame.

Cixi also knew that this was a good excuse, so she immediately asked Li Lianying to call Guangxu to come and immediately issue a holy decree.

Taking advantage of the time when Li Lianying went out to find Guangxu, Cixi lowered her head and thought for a while, then raised her head and asked: "The prince thinks that who should go is the most appropriate/'

Cixi is also afraid of Liu Jun, Liu Jun is a difficult thorn, he knows that once the people sent out do not handle it well, if Liu Jun is not good, he will have to pull out the banner of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty.

This question, Yi? It's really hard to answer, he has someone in his heart, but he is afraid that if he says it, Cixi will have to change his face immediately.

There is only one candidate in his heart, Li Hongzhang.

Now, Cixi gritted his teeth with hatred Li Hongzhang, he was really worried that if he said this name, Cixi would be furious, but now that Cixi had asked, he had to say it.

I took a look at the Cixi above, Yi? said cautiously: "Lafayette, if there is a suitable person, I am afraid that it must be Li Hongzhang." ”

originally thought that when Li Hongzhang was spoken, Cixi would be stormy, but the male thing was that Cixi was not angry, but said softly and helplessly: "That's it." ”

Lushun, war room, Liu Jun crawled on the map alone, looking at Lushun and the official roads everywhere, with a sad face.

Although Liu Jun was extremely happy with this reorganization, it exposed many problems.

The main problem was that the troops were marching too slowly.

The reorganized troops from Panjin to Jinzhou had to walk for three days. Such a marching speed. Liu Jun was a little worried.

The problem is that once the war starts, the impact is too great, the front line is fighting, and the rear ammunition cannot be replenished, which will cause bad consequences, at least it may sacrifice the lives of soldiers in vain, and at worst it will affect the victory or defeat of the entire war.

But this matter, Liu Jun knows very well in his heart that this is not a sloppy band, but this way. It's called a pipeline, but in fact, compared with later generations, it can't even compare with a rural road.

He hadn't walked through the pipe once or twice, what kind of road was it, it was full of potholes, overgrown with weeds, and sometimes, he couldn't even tell the road clearly.

The reason for this is that the pipelines are in disrepair, or they have not been repaired at all, and he learned from Wu Datong that some pipelines are even from the Ming Dynasty.

It's sad to think about.

From the time when Feng Guozhang sent a telegram from Yingkou that the imperial court did not increase the border of troops, Liu Jun was thinking about one thing, that is, to thoroughly exaggerate and repair the transportation arteries leading to various places in Lushun, at least to renovate the two-lane road for later generations.

Take precautions, Liu Jun knows that although there are no cars now, sooner or later, this car will definitely run all over the streets, just like later generations, there are more cars than people.

Taking out his pen, Liu Jun was about to outline a few of the most important routes on it, but before he could start, Zhong Lin walked in.

"Head, there's a message from the Beijing station."

"What are you talking about?" Liu Jun didn't raise his head. Keep crawling on the map and spinning the pencil.

"There is news from Beijing that the imperial court will send a messenger again in the near future."

"Again, there's no end to it." Liu Jun raised his head suddenly, threw away the pen in his hand depressedly, and looked at Zhong Lin: "Did you say that you came to do something?" ”

"Yes, according to the inference, the imperial court sent a senior official to visit you this time."

Visiting me, Liu Jun frowned suddenly.

He didn't understand why he was still in the mood to visit him at this time, and it stands to reason that he should wish he was dead.

Closing his eyes, for a while, Liu Jun recalled what had happened during this time.

Could it be......

Liu Jun's frowning brows suddenly expanded, and he smiled slightly, Liu Jun glanced at Zhong Lin next to him, and asked lightly, "I know why the imperial court came to visit me." ”

This one? Zhong Lin lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Liu Jun smiled, picked up the pen on the table again, and said lightly: "It's not that I'm afraid of rebellion." ”

He saw that the court was forced to visit him this time.

Just now he thought that some time ago, he also heard that the imperial court was going to mobilize a large army to encircle and suppress himself, but suddenly there was a change, there must be a reason for this, he remembered the reorganization of the Lushun army, but it was his own reorganization of the troops, and in addition to the gathering of 60,000 troops, so he would put pressure on the imperial court, and after careful consideration, he knew that it was not his opponent, so he would do this helpless thing.

"Head, I don't understand." Zhong Lin still shook his head.

"You speak with conscience, can the imperial court beat my Lushun army now."

"Head, you're kidding, how can the army of the imperial court beat us." Zhong Lin opened his mouth wide, thinking that Liu Jun was stupid.

"Hmph." Liu Jun snorted coldly and said lightly: "You can know that the imperial army can't beat the Lushun army, then the imperial court will also know that they can't fight, if they start a war rashly, it will be them who will suffer, and it won't be themselves, so this time, they want to give themselves a step down." Ming Shang came to visit me, and actually told me that this time the matter will be settled. "Then we're not safe." Zhong Lin smiled.

, Liu Jun glanced at Zhong Lin with disdain.

Where is there such a good thing, many years of experience make Liu Jun very clear, this is only temporary, once the Lushun army shows a little weakness, or is surpassed by the imperial army, then, the first thing the imperial court has to deal with is himself. By that time, he would be so dead that he wouldn't even have any bones left. "It's not that simple, unless we can maintain our absolute superiority." Liu Jun stood up. Patiently explained.

"What then?" Zhong Lin asked worriedly, after all, who can guarantee that the Lushun Army has always had an advantage, after all, three or four years in Hexi, and thirty years in Hedong.

Yes, what should I do, Liu Jun sat on the chair and began to close his eyes and think.

Thinking about it, there is only one way, that is, the road, be sure to ensure that the road is unimpeded, only in this way, once the fight with the imperial court, once the North Korean troops need it, twitch one or two, after repairing the road, they can quickly reach the border of Liaodong and block the attack of the imperial court.

He knew that it was safe for Lushun now, after all, the imperial court could not shake himself now, so he had to seize this time and quickly repair the road in case of emergency.

It seems that the matter of building roads should be put on the agenda as soon as possible. Thinking of this, Liu Jun glanced at Zhong Lin: "You go and check, who knows how to build roads in Lushun." Tell me immediately if you find out. ”

Zhong Lin never asked Liu Jun what he wanted these people to do. Instead, he nodded.

"Head, do you want to send a warship to meet the ministers sent by the imperial court this time?" After a while, Zhong Lin remembered that he still had something he hadn't said.

"No, they will figure it out by themselves," Liu Jun waved his hand.

Zhong Lin saw Liu Jun's impatience and bit his lip: "Head, you still send a warship to Tianjin to pick it up." After all, sister-in-law. ”

Strange, the imperial court sent a messenger to deal with my daughter-in-law. Liu Jun was puzzled for a moment. Then he squinted his eyes and looked at Zhongzhong: "Who will the court let come this time." ”

"Your grandfather."

With a snap, Liu Jun jumped up suddenly. He is not a man of this era, where did he come from. Viciously pointed at Zhong Lin: "Do you **** want to die, where did Lao Tzu come from?" ”

Zhong Lin's face was black, he knew that Liu Jun's grandfather had been dead for many years, but this was also a fact after all. "Head, I didn't lie to you, it's really your grandfather," Zhong Lin said aggrievedly, he didn't understand, the broom he was referring to was Li Hongzhang's granddaughter, and Liu Jun couldn't call it anything if he didn't call his grandfather.
