Then Putiyatin briefly introduced to Ignatiev and Muravyov the final form of the Jinan peace talks, and then gave him some general information about the situation of loyalty and righteousness on the Western Front after receiving Ignatiev's urgent letter. In the end, he looked at Ignatiev and Muravyov helplessly, and sighed, "There is such a pathology in the bureaucracy of this country, they don't care whether you are really useful to the country or not, as long as you are not on the same path, even if you are not moved for the time being, your career can be regarded as coming to an end." These people like Li Hongzhang originally relied on the big tree of the Empress Dowager Cixi to grow up, and without the shade of Cixi, they would naturally be restless. ”

"If Li Hongzhang, this bastard, didn't have our support, that little lady of Cixi would appreciate him again, and he wouldn't have imagined that he would have today." Muravyov is now full of evil anger as soon as Li Hongzhang is mentioned, "It's not the same now, if it weren't for our support behind the scenes, their parliamentary king Yi Xin would have taken off his head a long time ago." This bastard, who doesn't want to repay us, actually ......"

"Your Excellency the General sees only one aspect." Putiyatin shook his head and intercepted what Muravyov was still trying to say, "The troubles of loyalty and righteousness only show that they are not at ease with the current ruling authorities, and have nothing to do with whether they are loyal to us or not. At no time will they turn against us, because they need us too much, and they need us to provide security for their promotion and wealth, you know, here, being an official is the top priority that a person must do from birth, and sealing his wife and son, that is the highest goal they pursue all their lives. Otherwise, such a behemoth-like country would not have reached such a terminally ill and miserable situation. ”

After listening to Putiyatin's words, Ignatiev nodded thoughtfully, "Hmm...... The General Counsel's words make a lot of sense. Now that I think about it, Li Hongzhang dared to come back secretly this time, and he actually calculated that we would not embarrass him......"

"Yes, in a real sense, people like Li Hongzhang are our reliable friends." Putiatin smiled, a little bitter, "No matter what, it was right that I insisted on leaving the Empress Dowager Cixi not to kill her." As he spoke, he glanced at Muravyov, who was still panting on one side. I think that Muravyov was the first to jump out and accuse him, accusing him of being so selfish because he was still nostalgic for the body of the coquettish queen mother.

"Your Excellency General Counsel, to this day I still can't accept that your statement that you left Cixi is correct." Muravyov snorted, apparently seeing the meaning in Putiatin's eyes, "Since we have finally chosen to support Yi Xin's administration, we should cut off the last thoughts of those who are not willing to be in the same boat as the previous government as soon as possible." Leaving Cixi behind has now proved to be a strict mistake and an excuse for those who harbor conspiracies. If there was no Cixi in the Old Summer Palace, where would Li Hongzhang still have today's clamour? This is obviously a stumbling block for ourselves in the first place. ”

"Yes......" Listening to Muravyov's words, Ignatiev also felt that there was some truth, "Due to our interference, the Yixin government did not clean up the loyalty and salvation, they deserved it or got it, and it was no different from before." Moreover, in order to stabilize the loyalty and righteousness to save the **, although the Yixin government has long been financially stretched, it still increased the military salary for the loyalty and righteousness to save the **, Li Hongzhang They should no longer have a reason to carry Cixi out, right? ”

Putiyatin shook his head, "I know Li Hongzhang very well, in this Great Qing Kingdom, he is a rare person with far-sightedness. He was very attached to friendship, and the kindness that Cixi gave him was not something he could forget. Yi Xin temporarily did not move to save the **, just as His Excellency the Minister said, it was just a restriction from us, and it was only a temporary matter, which Li Hongzhang and others would not recognize. In fact, since Cixi returned to power, they have been sitting on the crater of the volcano, and they will be wiped out in an instant at any time. ”

"I don't want to think about it that much, I just want to know what we're going to do about it now." Muravyov was a little impatient.

"Yes, yes, for a few days, Your Excellency General and I have not been able to come up with a clue, I wonder if you already have your own ideas?" Ignatiev also stared at Putiyatin urgently, "Since the peace talks have become a tiger, we must do our best to stabilize the interior. ”

"In China today, on a large scale, there are only two groups of people who can decide the fate of this country." Putiyating looked at the two people, did not answer their questions directly, and continued to say, "One group is Han Chinese, and one group is Manchu. And in each of these two groups, there are two kinds of people. ”

What two batches, Muravyov listened to it like a cloud and a mountain of fog. After all, he is the commander-in-chief of the Russian-Qing coalition army, tens of thousands of tsarist soldiers are sticking to the Yellow River defense line, Li Hongzhang's disregard for the overall situation has obviously brought a huge potential threat to his soldiers, where can he have such good patience. He had just taken a few puffs from his hand, and most of the cigarette was still half of his cigarette in the ashtray.

Ignatiev saw that Muravyov's face was not right, and that he seemed to be about to have a seizure again, so he quickly waved his hand, and then nodded at Putiyatin, who was walking around the room with his head down, and motioned for him to listen.

"Among the Han people, one is a person who is loyal to the Qing Dynasty on the surface for the sake of the current temporary interests, but secretly is looking for a second way. The other is to tie his fate to the fate of the Qing Kingdom without regrets, one is prosperous, and the other is destroyed. Due to the urgency of the matter, when he returned to the capital, Putiatin simply washed his face, and now, his flaxen curls became more dusty, and his scalp was itching terribly. He raised his hands and scratched vigorously, his mouth without pause, "It's the same among the Manchurians." Although this Great Qing Kingdom is full of people, there are always many people who think that the vast wilderness of the Central Plains is not their own after all, and it is better to hold it, and when they can't hold it, they will love whoever they want, and it is a big deal to go back to the place where they should return, as long as they can keep their Jurchen bloodline. This is the first kind of person. ”

Putiyatin scratched his head enough, walked over to Ignatiev again, picked up the pack of cigarettes made by Angel's firm from the table, took out one and lit it, and then clutched the empty cigarette case in his hand, and wanted to throw it away but did not throw it away, "The second is that they never thought that their people would one day be wiped out from the roots, because they only wanted to destroy others in this way. Therefore, no matter how difficult the dilemma and twists and turns, they want to fight tenaciously. Of course, they only do so when they are faced with the revolt of the poor at home. The last thing they can tolerate is a riot from the bottom, and in order to exterminate these rebels, they can sell a piece of it to others. ”

Putiyatin stopped and looked at Ignatiev and Muravyov, "The representative of the second type of Han people is Li Hongzhang, and what about the second type of Manchu people?" There is no doubt about it, Cixi. ”

Seeing that Putiyatin said this, he didn't say anything more, but sat on the chair while smoking the small piece of cigarette fart left in his hand, while scratching his head vigorously, Muravyov looked at Ignatiev inexplicably, and then looked at Putiyatin, and couldn't help but scratch his head a few times, "It's over?" ”

"It's over." Putiyatin smiled.

"He said it was over?" Muravyov's hand slapped on the table, and he blankly turned to Ignatiev for confirmation.

"Alas......" Ignatiev stood up and looked at Muravyov with a wry smile, "yes, he's done, the answers are already in it." This time, it was time for him to start wandering around the house again.
