86_86661 In the Le Shou Hall of the Summer Palace in Beijing, Cixi was listening to Prince Qing's recital: "Qiyu, Lafayette, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a solemn warning to our court. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½foβ
Cixi squinted her eyes and said impatiently, "What's the matter?" And the warning, the warning, the warning, the warning? Whispering in my ears all day long, this little Japan is not a particularly good thing! Under the pretext of helping us drive away foreigners, I actually want to take advantage of it! This kind of guy is the worst, and he wants to be a (and he wants to set up a torii!) Little plum, don't you say? β
"Yes, Lafayette, these little Japanese are just a little turtle king eight/egg, long and thin, and with bad eyes, it's not a good thing, if I catch it, I have to bite them to death, hum!" Li Lianying showed a gentle anger on her face, like a weak female cat who really wanted to bite the Japanese.
Cixi was in a better mood when she heard this, and then said, "Wang Wenshao, what do you think we should do now?" Although, these little Japan are troubled, but the matter has to be solved! Could it be that we really let our little plums bite them? β
Wang Wenshao said: "Enlighten Lafayette, the Japanese just want to find some face for them through us, as for us, just make a show!" Their Japanese are at war with Russia, and they can't spare the energy to be our enemy, so we just need to deal with these Japanese and pacify them, and as for the future, when their war with Russia is over, if they have the energy, they will solve it themselves, and we don't need to worry about it.
Galeries Lafayette, you can relax, the Japanese will not be able to enter for a while, so we will play Tai Chi with them and deal with it perfunctorily.
As for this time, after Hainan and Japan became enemies, there is one thing that cannot be ignored, that is, through this war, we can clearly see that Hainan's military strength is quite strong! This is also a potential threat to our Qing Dynasty, so, Lafayette, even if the Japanese do not ask us to go to Hainan, we must find a way to contain them, otherwise, once one day, Hainan is full-fledged, at that time, we want to catch him, I am afraid it is impossible. β
"Yes, Galeries Lafayette. What Wang Wenshao said is extremely true: Hainan's military strength has already been highlighted in the decisive battle in the South China Sea, and I think the time has come when we must consider resolving the Hainan issue. Lu Chuanlin said.
Prince Qing said: "Lafayette, Weichen thinks that we should increase our efforts to exterminate them, and we can't tolerate them anymore, otherwise one day they will become stronger and stronger, and it will be difficult to deal with them in the end!" β
"Lafayette, Weichen thinks, it is better to deter and co-opt, now, the Hainan palace is mourning for the old prince Chen Chuwang, we can send people to worship in the name of the imperial court, and then win over the king of Hainan Chen Zhong. Then, under the pretext of suppressing the rebels in Guangxi, he stationed troops in Hainan, threatened them, and forced them to submit. β
"Lu Chuanlin, you are too naΓ―ve, according to the news I heard, this king of Hainan, you can't say coercion and temptation, otherwise, how can he shell the British fleet and annihilate the Japanese West Sea Fleet? I think that with the current strength of the Qing Dynasty and Guangzhou, plus the troops in Yunnan and Guizhou, we should be more than 70% sure of encircling and suppressing Hainan. β
The Empress Dowager Cixi suddenly opened her eyes and said, "Yixuan, tell those little Japan, we are officially going to crusade against the rebels, stop chirping." In addition, the decree will go down to encircle and suppress Guangxi and Hainan again, and show the world! β
"Huh!"
As a result, a storm encircling Guangxi and Hainan swept towards Chen Zhong and them frantically again.
This time, the encirclement and suppression of the Qing court was more ferocious than the last two times, so Hainan will be shrouded in the crisis of disaster.
In the Hainan Palace, many guests have come to mourn in the past few days.
Among those who came to offer their condolences were the Russian mission, the special envoy of the governor of Hong Kong, the governor of Macao, Monttinilo, who also personally went to Hainan, as well as the Nguyen royal family of Vietnam, and what is even more rare is that Germany also sent a special presidential envoy......
In the past few days, Chen Zhong has been busy receiving these guests who came to mourn, and he is tired and exhausted.
Zhang Yaru saw it in his eyes and felt sorry for Chen Zhong, but he couldn't help, so he could only talk to him in his spare time.
On the morning of this day, Chen Zhong was in the palace hall when he heard a report from the guards that there had been an explosion and fire in the direction of the palace courtyard.
When Chen Zhong heard this, he yelled badly, and ran out after speaking.
Chen Zhong hadn't been there since he left the palace last time, because he had given this set of courtyards to Lin Xiaowan.
At this moment, as soon as he heard that there was a fire in the courtyard, he remembered Lin Xiaowan, a woman, and immediately led someone over.
Chen Zhong was running and thinking, how could there be an explosion there?
When Chen Zhong rushed to the palace courtyard, the courtyard had been blown up to the point that there were only a few ruins left, seeing this, Chen Zhong immediately ordered the others to put out the fire, and he jumped into the courtyard from the side of the fire wall, and he was rummaging around, trying to find this poor woman.
Finally, Lin Xiaowan was found in a piece of gravel dust. Lin Xiaowan's face was covered with mud and blood stains, and she was already dying.
Chen Zhong picked up Lin Xiaowan and rushed out of this sea of fire and ruins, and he called out to her loudly.
Lin Xiaowan gradually opened her eyes in Chen Zhong's call, and when she saw herself lying in Chen Zhong's arms, she smiled happily and murmured: "Lord Wang, I finally waited for you, Xiaowan misses you so much!" β
After Lin Xiaowan finished speaking, tears flowed out of her happy smile. After a short choking, Lin Xiaowan continued: "Xiaowan plays the song "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" every day, waiting for the prince to come back to see Xiaowan, but I have been waiting for a long, long time...... but he didn't see the prince. Today, Xiao Wan finally met Wang Ye, I am really happy, Wang Ye, Xiao Wan really misses you......"
Before Chen Zhong could talk to Lin Xiaowan, Lin Xiaowan had already died.
Chen Zhong looked at Lin Xiaowan and remembered the scene when he had just crossed over, and his heart was sour.
Chen Zhong looked at the maid Xiaocui who was standing beside Lin Xiaowan and asked, "What the hell is going on?" β
Xiaocui trembled with fright and said: "Early this morning, a Japanese man came to our door and gave me a small box that said that it was given to Miss by the prince, and I didn't care, so I handed it to Miss, and then, I went out to buy vegetables, who knows, as soon as I left the room, the room exploded!" β
Chen Zhong stood up suddenly, gritted his teeth and said, "Japanese! βγ
