Regarding the news of Li Hongzhang's secret return to Beijing, Yixin originally learned about it as early as two days ago from a secret report sent back by Zaiyuan in a hurry. However, when he first received the news, Yixin was almost not angry. How can this Zaiyuan take such provocative false news from the enemy seriously?

Speaking of which, Yixin is tired enough now, and there is a never-ending breath in his stomach. Since he really took over the affairs of this stormy Qing Dynasty, he really felt that he was exhausted. How to maintain the stability of the imperial court is enough to give him a headache, but the major events outside are still one after another.

First of all, the rebellion in the northwest was soothed by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and it was vigorous from the beginning, and gradually showed its declining appearance. Last month, Ma Hualong's urgent request for help from the imperial court was actually delivered to the prime minister's yamen, saying that the Taiping Red Army was too strong and had now penetrated deep into the hinterland of Ningxia, and that without the strong help of the Qing court, the newly born Muslim kingdom would be strangled in infancy.

Seeing Ma Hualong's letter for help, Yixin felt dizzy at that time, and he even suspected that he was not blind. Why, when did a "Ningxia Muslim Kingdom" pop up again? In the face of Yixin's questioning, Duanhua and all the officials of the Prime Minister's Yamen also looked at each other and didn't know why. In the end, it was the new secretary of the military department, and his old father-in-law Yiliang spent a long time trying to get through the twisting and turning door, and found out that this was the hand and foot that Cixi had done before the curtain was removed.

Yixin is on fire, and the Qing Dynasty is only left with this half of the country, and you Cixi still dare to sell it, it seems that this Qing Dynasty is really not your family. But that's fine, since you guys have made some kind of bullshit back to the kingdom, then you can continue to make trouble yourself, not to mention that this king is not capable of taking care of you at all, even if this king is capable, he will not care about you. He thought so, the officials in the Prime Minister's Yamen didn't think so, even Duanhua also felt that Yixin's fire was a bit excessive. Not to mention anything else, after all, after such a toss by the Huihui, the 200,000 Taiping Tian** team in the northwest has been firmly contained, if there is no Huihui containment, once the 200,000 troops turn around and march eastward, it will be easy to capture Pingshan West and capture the capital.

Therefore, for Ma Hualong's request for help, although everyone feels that they are really unable to do something practical to help them, they should always issue an edict to commend and commend them, and in addition, send some condolences to the past to encourage the morale of the returnees.

Yixin resolutely disagrees with these people's ideas, and he has his opinions. Just over there, the matter in Ningxia had not yet been dealt with, and the trouble at Pujin Pass appeared again. So, Yixin decided to ignore the affairs of Ningxia and simply ignored him.

"King Zheng, it's not a matter of whether I'm stingy or not, although our Qing treasury has long been tossed beyond our means, isn't there more or less? Besides, isn't it just a matter of printing more paper tickets, why not do it when you can finish it? The problem is that we can't do it at all, in other words, we can't do it. We don't care what the ending of Ma Hualong will be in the end, but have you thought about it, as long as our edict passes, it will be tantamount to acquiescing in their Muslim kingdom, which is a major event of betraying the ancestral inheritance. If one day everyone investigates it, the one in Changchun Garden can come to push 625 by then, and this crime will be carried by us. ”

"But the current reality we have to consider after all. The Russians are not omnipotent, and in order to give us some respite, we must support those who are willing to rise up against the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Duanhua is really unacceptable to Yixin's fearful psychology, "As for the future, it can be talked about later, if you can stabilize the whole situation, and then go back and clean up the Huihui, it is not a simple matter." ”

"Simple? Where is it so simple...... "Yixin looked up to the sky and sighed, "It's easy to lose it, and then you want to get it back...... Alas...... It's hard! Didn't you take a closer look at the news that Zaiyuan sent back from Jinan, do you think the Taiping Army is really so handy in the northwest? ”

On the question of how to deal with the Huihui, everyone disagreed, and when it came to the more real trouble of Pujin Pass, the ruling courtiers were exceptionally unanimous, and they all gritted their teeth and cursed the arrogant Li Hongzhang. Didn't you Li Hongzhang annoy the Taiping Army by stealing chickens and dogs, and people would occupy Pujin Pass, the springboard on the Yellow River, at such a critical time?

Yixin had no choice but to issue an edict on the one hand, and sent a message to the headquarters of the coalition army to severely reprimand Li Hongzhang for his lax control over his subordinates, which caused trouble for the peace talks that were going on arduously, and gave the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom the Qing Dynasty a false pretext that the peace talks were not sincere. On the one hand, it is necessary to urge the Zaiyuan and Shanxi sides in Jinan to step up their mediation with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and strive to recover the lost strategic points as much as possible. At the same time, military horses had to be deployed into Shanxi to prevent accidents.

Yi Xin was so busy that he hit the back of his head. Zaiyuan complained in Jinan that he couldn't get timely instructions from him, and valuable information for peace talks, in fact, he didn't want to instruct Zaiyuan to do anything, nor did he want to back up Zaiyuan, the problem was that he was busy.

No, just a few days ago, Yixin had to squeeze out time in his busy schedule and traveled more than 100 miles to Tangshan to participate in the groundbreaking ceremony of the firearms bureau built there. In order to facilitate the maintenance of firearms and ammunition supply for the loyal and righteous rescue, with the help of the Russians, although the Tangshan Firearms Bureau has gone through more than two years, the first phase of the project has finally been completed, and the Great Qing Kingdom has been able to produce the guns and ammunition urgently needed by the army since then, which can be regarded as a top priority for the Great Qing Dynasty.

Who knows, when he went, he was elated, and when he came back, Yixin was angry again. Spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver and spent so much manpower and material resources, just at the groundbreaking ceremony, with the lively scene outside and the strings of firecrackers rattling, the big guy of the firearms bureau called what boiler actually joined in the fun.

At that time, Yi Xin made a magnificent remark in front of the crowd that came to congratulate and watch the excitement, and was accompanied by the Russian director of the Firearms Bureau and officials from all walks of life, just entered the tall and bright workshop, looking at the neatly placed and majestic buzzing brand-new and beautiful large machines, and praised again and again, it was inevitable that the personnel of the Russian and Qing sides who participated in the construction of the Firearms Bureau again verbally commended and encouraged everyone to work together. In order to build the Qing Dynasty into a real power with a modern chemical industry, they all worked hard to dedicate their own light and heat.

It's a pity that just when he didn't fall, there was a sudden explosion in the ear chakra, and in an instant, the whole thing in the originally spotless large workshop suddenly shook. Inside the workshop, there was a miasma of smoke, and the dust and even rubble on the roof were flying everywhere. It turned out that there was an explosion in the boiler. The boiler room next to the large workshop was completely submerged in thick smoke and had turned into a pile of rubble, even the beautiful large workshop was also shaken to the point that the walls were open with large cracks, as if they were going to eat people's mouths.

Where is this *** workshop, it's just tofu scum. Yixin suddenly realized at this time, hehe, no wonder Putiyatin and Igonatiev, who love to take advantage, encountered such a big good thing this time, but they couldn't invite it, they were afraid of death after making trouble for a long time! This bunch of crooks who only cheat money! After scolding the Russians, he began to scold Cixi who was still living a comfortable life in Changchun Garden, good you shameless thing, you spent so much money in the Qing Dynasty, and when you return to Qi, you will listen to this sound for Lao Tzu!

As soon as he returned to the capital, Yixin found Igonatiev's theory. This time he was not polite, and shouted at Igonatiev jumping to his feet, the little money of the Qing Dynasty was not easy to come by, but he couldn't afford such a toss, since you Russians claimed to be good friends of the Qing Dynasty, you should have been a charcoal in the snow, where can you do this kind of bastard thing at the bottom of the kettle.

Ignatiev didn't seem surprised by the accident that happened at the Tangshan Firearms Bureau, and he didn't admit that it was a problem with the equipment that Russia was responsible for, because the Russians paid the most attention to quality and reputation, and the reason why such an accident happened was that the problem must have occurred in the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty lacked professional talents, lacked honesty and a sense of responsibility, and the boiler burner dozed off temporarily, or someone confused for money during the construction process, and built a factory that should have been a good one into tofu slag.

The quarrel has not come out yet, at this time, Zaiyuan got the news that Li Hongzhang ran back to the capital, and it is strange that Yixin is not angry. Since Cixi left the Forbidden City and was protected by the Russians in the Old Summer Palace, he never forgot to tell Duanhua to always be vigilant, Cixi has been in control of the government for several years, and there will be no post-party figures who have slipped through the net to secretly plot to change the sky. Under such a defense, not to mention that he Li Hongzhang is still a big living person, he has become a fly, and if he wants to fly to the capital, he will not want to avoid his ears and eyes. Besides, for several days in a row, he has been personally negotiating with Ignatiev about the aftermath of the Tangshan Firearms Bureau, if Li Hongzhang really wants to engage in some kind of private conspiracy with the Russians, as Zaiyuan said in the secret report, at least Ignatiev can always see some flaws, right?

On this issue, Duanhua and Yixin disagreed. His idea was very simple, why did the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom provide you with such secret information for no reason? Just to sow discord? This is somewhat unreasonable. Because, as long as you go to the scrutiny, the authenticity can be immediately distinguished. If the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom provided false information, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?

"Check!" Duanhua immediately summoned his cronies and officials, and asked them not only not to make a big noise, but also to find out whether Li Hongzhang had come to the capital or not. Here, Duanhua is very cautious, and his purpose is very clear, that is, to avoid the eyes and ears of the Russians.

Two days later, Fan Wenrui, who was in charge of the food supply of the Russian troops stationed in Changchun Garden, ran to Yixin, and Li Hongzhang really returned to Beijing for a few days, and he has been living in Changchun Garden, also under the protection of the Russians. As soon as Yi Xin heard this verified and definite news, his brain suddenly buzzed, and he felt that his entire body was like falling into a cold black hole, and it was falling rapidly.
