"Whether or not to carry out Li Yuanhong's rebellion, whether you want to give Zhong Lin an accurate answer to this matter, I don't guarantee that the people below will not do anything wrong. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zheng Yiqian, who wrote down the order, heard that Liu Jun's matter had not been dealt with yet, so she jumped to the matter of negotiating with the imperial court, and immediately tore off the order in her hand and asked.

Being reminded by Zheng Yiqian, Liu Jun immediately reacted that he could master when to stop and when to let go, but this does not mean that the people below can do this. It seems that the time for Li Yuanhong's rebellion is still not enough.

"It's not a reversal, the affairs of Hunan, put aside for the time being, what we have to do now is to negotiate with the imperial court, tell the old man, the negotiation of the imperial court, we must pay close attention, in addition, notify the transport troops, speed up the transportation, we must be in late July, make all preparations for battle, if the imperial court does not agree to sign a joint agreement, then attack the southwest." Completely let the imperial court end his historical mission. ”

"I see." Hearing that Liu Jun had given her precise orders, Zheng Yiqian looked up and asked, "When are we leaving?" ”

Leaving, Liu Jun, who was stunned, understood that Zheng Yiqian was asking about his trip to Beijing, and after looking down for a while, Liu Jun stood up: "Since the matter in the Huguang area has been resolved, let's set off tomorrow." ”

Baoji ...... Command of the Defense Center of the DPRK. To be honest, he thinks that he is already a veteran of grinding foreign workers in terms of negotiations, but in the face of the thunderous Zaitao, Li Hongzhang is also willing to bow to the wind, and then completely hide in Wang Shizhen, play chess all day long, drink tea, and live a good life.

"Marshal, it's your turn." Wang Shizhen, who picked up the chess pieces, saw where Li Hongzhang was puzzled, and said softly.

"Oh," Li Hongzhang, who was considering negotiating matters in political well-being, heard Wang Shizhen's reminder and answered, and was about to prepare to settle down, but before he could fall, Colonel Yang Fengchun, Li Hongzhang's personal guard outside, walked in and handed Li Hongzhang a telegram: "My lord, Lushun is calling." ”

It had been almost a month since there was a telegram from Lushun, and Li Hongzhang, who heard this telegram, suddenly felt a little relieved, and when he took the telegram, Li Hongzhang saw that he wrote a few words on it.

On the 30th of July, the army was ready.

"For you." Li Hongzhang, who had read the telegram, handed the telegram to Wang Shizhen, and this telegram was to tell Wang Shizhen the time of the attack, and it had nothing to do with him.

"Marshal, this seems to be a telegram to you." Wang Shizhen, who took it and looked at it, put the telegram on the table, and then said: "Marshal, my army has already been deployed, and I am waiting for the attack order, you look at this telegram, it is prepared on July 30, it is estimated that the marshal will give you a time, the time to attack the southwest, it is estimated that the marshal wants you to speed up the negotiations." Seeing Li Hongzhang pick up the telegram suspiciously, Wang Shizhen smiled and said.

Paralyzing, it seems to be really like this. Heard Wang Shizhen say this. Li Hongzhang seemed to understand a lot, and immediately stood up and said, "The old man has something to do, so he will leave first." ”

Li Hongzhang's residence, the three main personnel in the Liaodong negotiations have already arrived, Wu Tingfang and Li Jingfang, all quietly looking at Li Hongzhang sitting in front of him.

"Look at the telegram from Lushun, on the thirtieth of July, all the material materials of the army will be ready. It is estimated that in mid-August, the army will begin to attack, and there is still a month to go, and whether the southwest side can sign an agreement depends on this month. Li Hongzhang, who looked at the two of them, handed the telegram in his hand to Wu Tingfang beside him and said.

Wu Tingfang is already a veteran in diplomacy, and his years of negotiation experience made him shake his head after reading the telegram: "Marshal, it is difficult to estimate, the imperial court has always refused to let go of the abdication." No matter how hard we try, it doesn't make any difference. ”

"Yes, father, according to the intelligence of Chengdu, the imperial court has once again formed the strength of two armies during this time, I think they are delaying time in the name of negotiations, and according to the intelligence, Chengdu, last night, Cixi suddenly summoned a few French businessmen."

What the? French businessmen? Li Hongzhang, who heard this, stood up suddenly, there is something wrong, there is nothing to do, Cixi will summon a few French businessmen, there must be something wrong here.

"Is your information reliable?" Li Hongzhang, who lowered his head and thought for a while, raised his head, this is a very important piece of information, and the summons must be told to Liu Jun as soon as possible, otherwise, when the time comes, Liu Jun will suffer in some decisions.

"It's true, I have a classmate who is on an errand in the Yang'en Temple, and last night, these French merchants were brought in after disguising themselves as soldiers, and the time was still around two o'clock in the morning." Li Jingfang nodded in confidence and said.

It's terrible, Li Hongzhang, who heard this, stood up and looked at the two people standing in front of him: "Tomorrow I will convene the representatives of the imperial court and start negotiations again, you will discuss a way to come out, I will go to Wang Shizhen." “”

"What you said is true?" Wang Shizhen's headquarters, when he heard Li Hongzhang say that the imperial court had summoned several French businessmen last night, Wang Shizhen suddenly stood up from his chair.

"It's true, this is information sent by my son's friend, he graduated in France and understands French." Seeing that Wang Shizhen was as excited as he was when he heard the news, Li Hongzhang added.

"Marshal, the matter is urgent, if this is the case, I am afraid that we will have to inform the marshal of the news immediately." Wang Shizhen, who thought about it for a while, said.

"You send him a telegram, and I will go back soon to discuss with them the matter of negotiating with the imperial court tomorrow, and I hope that this matter will not lead to a war with France." Li Hongzhang, who said this, looked worried, he knew Liu Jun's temper, if Liu Jun knew, then France was probably playing with fire.

"Understood." Wang Shizhen, who nodded, stood up and looked outside the door: "Zhang Qing......."

Chengdu, the scorching sunshine in June made Cixi lying on the mat keep wiping the sweat on her face, and on the side, Guangxu's face was full of sorrow, just this morning, Guangxu, who was in the court, was called by Cixi, saying that it was to discuss a major matter, but when she came to roar, Cixi told a news that almost made him collapse, that is, his own father was ready to sign a contract with the French, the contract was that France prepared 50,000 rifles and 100 artillery pieces for the imperial court, and was responsible for training the newly recruited troops of the imperial court. As for the imperial court, there is only one thing to give to France, that is, the right to build railways and the right to mine minerals in Yunnan and Guizhou.
