Soon, Zuo Zongtang, Lu Shaochuan, and Liu Jintang came to Li Zhen's study.

Li Zhen's eyes swept over the people present, and said solemnly: "In the south, Xi Yinglong and Xi Changzhen launched a war in Vietnam, destroyed the Ruan Dynasty, and killed the Ruan Emperor. Now, the princess and crown prince of the Nguyen dynasty escaped for help, tell me your opinion? ”

Lu Shaochuan rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "President, let's send troops immediately." It's fun to fight. Back then, although Xi Yinglong and Xi Changzhen were defeated, it also made us quite uncomfortable. This time, sweep them up and make them surrender obediently. ”

Liu Jintang said: "I also agree with sending troops to kill Brother Xi Yinglong!" ”

Zuo Zongtang didn't rush to reply, still pondering.

Li Zhen asked, "Brother Ji, what do you think?" ”

Zuo Zongtang replied without impatience: "President, I think the best way is not for us to mobilize troops, once there is a war, the consumption of manpower, material resources, and financial resources is very great. At present, the financial resources of the national treasury to support the country's development are tight, and if it is to prepare for war, I am afraid that it will not be able to do so. ”

Zuo Zongtang's expression was serious, and he said: "First of all, we asked people to pass the order to Xi Yinglong, and let Xi Yinglong take the initiative to raise the flag and surrender. If this effect can be achieved, it will be a soldier who will surrender without a fight, and the problem of the prince of the Nguyen family will be exempted, so as not to be affected by the Nguyen family. Secondly, if the first salute fails, then the troops will be mobilized. Ordered the commander of the Yang Banhou division stationed in Guangxi to transfer troops to attack Xi Yinglong in Vietnam. With the strength of Master Yang, coupled with the assistance of Lord Liu, I believe that it is still possible to take the land of Vietnam. If neither of these scenarios can be achieved, then the rest of the army can only be sent to support. ”

Li Zhen nodded and said, "Brother Ji is very reasonable, so I will operate according to Brother Ji's proposal." Let's salute first and then soldiers, and look at the development of the next situation! ”

After some deliberation, a strategy was decided.

It's just that this news was not told to Ye Chengxin and Ruan Lele.

Time passed gradually, and in a short time, personnel from eight countries, including Britain, France, and Russia, had already arrived in Beijing.

The Presidential Palace, the official residence!

Zeng Guofan sat in Li Zhen's study and said solemnly: "President, I sent people to inquire about the situation of various countries, but I didn't find out where the envoys of the eight countries came from? Now that they're in Beijing, what are we going to do with it? ”

Li Zhen shrugged his shoulders and said, "What else can I do?" Only reception! Tell the envoys of the eight countries that I will take care of them at the presidential palace at night! ”

"I'll do it right away!"

After Zeng Guofan went down, Li Zhen asked people to start preparing for the evening.

In the evening, melodious music emanates from the presidential palace.

One by one, foreign officials entered, and all of them entered Li Zhen's mansion. Because Li Zhen is preparing for a party, there is no red tape, it seems very relaxed, everyone chats and drinks, and the atmosphere is very harmonious.

"The President has arrived!"

A shout rang out in the hall.

"Brush! Brush!!! ”

One by one, the foreign envoys all stood up neatly to greet them.

Soon, Li Zhen strode in.

Tonight, Li Zhen wore a white robe, with short hair, sword eyebrows, and hard cheek lines, extremely energetic. Li Zhen has new hair growing on the top of his head, which is almost the same as the hair on the back of his head, and there is no unsightly problem. He walked into the arena and immediately attracted the attention of countless people.

When everyone saw Li Zhen, they were stunned for a moment.

At the beginning, when they saw the short-haired Zeng Guofan, these people were already very surprised.

Now I was even more surprised when I saw Li Zhen, who was strange.

Unexpectedly, China's dress has also begun to change dramatically. After Li Zhen entered, he stood in the hall and shook hands with the people present one by one, and then waved everyone to take their seats. Envoys from various countries sat down around a round table. Li Zhen picked up his wine glass, saluted everyone, and said, "Everyone has come from afar, and it has been hard. Here, let's have a toast! ”

After that, Li Zhen drank it all.

The same is true of the envoys of various countries, and they drink one after another.

Li Zhen put down his wine glass and said, "Everyone has come all the way to China, and I welcome you." It's just that I was surprised that people from all eight of you were showing up at the same time and in the same place! ”

British Envoy Gobard said: "Mr. President, I am British Envoy Gobard, and I am also the leader of the G-8 envoys. We, the envoys of the eight countries, representing each country, would like to ask you to sign a contract. ”

"What contract?" Li Zhen asked with a smile.

Gobard's expression became serious, and he said: "After deliberation, the heads of state of our eight countries unanimously agreed that war is the biggest reason for destroying peace, especially transnational and random attacks, which is a big taboo. Therefore, the heads of state of our eight countries believe that they should unite and form an alliance, and order that each country should not send troops to attack the rest of the countries without authorization, or interfere in the affairs of the rest of the countries. The affairs of each country should be handled by the respective countries themselves. ”

Li Zhen snorted and suddenly understood.

This treaty is directed against him.

It must have been the heads of state of various countries who got the news of Li Zhen's expedition to the east and west, especially knowing what Li Zhen had done in Russia and Japan, which made these countries jealous.

Otherwise, this policy would not have appeared.

Li Zhen asked, "Mr. Gobard, what I want to ask is." Britain has occupied India, what should be said about this? ”

Gobard looked righteous and awe-inspiring, and said with a smile: "Mr. President, you are wrong, Britain did not occupy India, but only helped India develop. Our people are not doing illegal things in India, they are all doing business reasonably. Now, our troops are gradually withdrawing and India is in charge of the affairs itself. ”

Li Zhen looked at Gobard's righteous face, and felt disgusted.

I've seen shamelessness, but I've never seen such shamelessness.

Li Zhen asked, "Who is the envoy of France?" ”

"Mr. President, I'm the French envoy Frankfurt!" A tall, blonde, middle-aged man spoke.

Li Zhen asked: "How can you explain the soldiers of your country in Vietnam, Burma and other places?" ”

Rankfurt held his head high and said with a smile: "Mr. President, you have also misunderstood us. France is a country with a long history and a love for peace. Our troops entered Vietnam, Burma and other places because they couldn't help but save the people in Vietnam and other places because they saw that they were in dire straits. Now, we are also following the rules and gradually withdrawing our troops. ”

"Yes, that's good!"

Li Zhen said coldly: "What if I don't comply? ”

Gobard had a solemn expression and said in a deep voice: "If China does not comply, it will definitely face sanctions from eight countries." Mr. President, there is no denying that you are a man of great talent, and that the soldiers under your command are also capable of fighting well. But in the face of the armies of eight countries, the most elite soldiers of eight countries, you will not get any advantage, and it will not be good for your country to provoke a war. We are not targeting China, but we are trying to protect the interests of more countries from being violated. ”

The corners of Li Zhen's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart that these people are so thick-skinned!

Such shameless words can be said in a grand manner, which is 'admirable'.

ps: The second shift, call it a day. Ming'er, it is expected that there will be four more.
