How can this be? Looking at the fiery charcoal fire not far away, Yi? Lost in thought.

Spain is now asking the imperial court to give an explanation, and instead of compensating for the damage, it is even more demanding that the imperial court officials go to apologize. This is simply degrading to the national body.

There was a snap, yi? A slap on the coffee table.

Damn Li Hanzhang, why did you hide such a big event and not report it, do you really think that the imperial court will not dare to remove you.

The more I think about it, the more angry I become. Here picked up the protest in the same way as Tarzan, and sighed slightly, this matter is still good for Lafayette to make an idea.

"On the contrary, this chaotic minister and thief still thinks that he is not messy enough, and he still thinks that the profits obtained are not enough, and he actually stands up for those abandoned people and offends foreigners, foreigners are so easy to bully."

In the Chuxiu Palace, Cixi, who had not been mad again for a long time, roared again,

The palace maids and eunuchs next to them were frightened on the ground one by one, and they didn't dare to come out. Even Li Lianying, who has always followed Cixi the closest, did not feel like she took a step back, for fear of adding fuel to Cixi's fire.

There was another shocking sound, and a piece of music was thrown to the ground by Cixi with all her strength.

Losing money and apologizing, Cixi shook her head helplessly, and fell decadently on the yellow satin dumplings.

The hand, which was as white as a shallot, also pressed his temple. Cixi had a headache, to be precise, angry.

What is on the ground, it is nothing, it is the protest letter submitted by the Spanish legation,

The compensation was 5 million taels, and the ministers of the court had to go to Manila to apologize.

Abundant? looked at Cixi cautiously, and kept thinking in his heart, he hadn't seen Cixi speak for a long time. He cautiously asked, "Lafayette, look at this, should this be done?"

Foreigners can't afford to offend, and Westerners can't afford to offend. I want the household department to give some money, and then send the minister to appease it, and make the big thing small. Just put up with it.

"Not really." A shrill roar, but what about it? was frightened, and when I raised my eyes, I saw that Cixi was standing in front of her position with an angry face, with her hands on her waist, a rural.

"This time, the court resolutely did not apologize, and whoever poked the basket went by himself. has the ability to find the right master, who in the world doesn't know that Liu Jun, a chaotic minister and thief, eats inside and outside under the banner of the Qing Dynasty. ”

What a clever mouth. Put? said that he was stunned for a while, usually in front of the minister and even himself, she was a majestic Cixi, but today she actually scolded her waist like a broken belly, which is really unseemly.

What kind of system, now Cixi hates to have to be this leader, and since she came in from Japan, she has not received a day of peace.

Japan took advantage of his birthday to make trouble, and was beaten back, originally thinking that he would come back on a good day and enjoy life with peace of mind again, but he didn't expect to just beat away the wolf and fatten a tiger. did not listen to the orders of the imperial court, and even the workers and the imperial court went against it. Taking the three generals' jurisdictions as his own, this is even more hateful than Wu Sangui of Kangxi at that time.

He promised to give up Jilin, just to get a good life, who knew that this person would go to a foreign country to make trouble again. It's unreasonable.

Foreigners are not good things, they can't beat others, so they come to us for trouble, and they simply treat us as soft persimmons. There is a kind of other way to find the right master, and it is impossible for the court to pay money with this thief.

"What? Haven't you heard the mourners' commands? No, the protest letter will be rejected, and let them have the ability to find the scourge in Liaodong by themselves, and the court can't control it. "See Yi? Before she went out, Cixi, who was already smoking, scolded loudly.

"The minions obey." Seeing that there was no longer any color, the pale face of Cixi, Yi? Hurriedly picked up something on the ground and wiped the beads of sweat from his face. Frightened, he walked outside the palace gate.

The Prime Minister's Yamen, the cold wind howled outside, and in the inner hall of the reception hall, a few pots of charcoal fire did protect the warmth of the inner hall. Yi, dressed in court clothes, was standing in the hall, waiting for the Spanish minister.

Abundant? It's not Cixi, Cixi can deal with things because of her mood, but she can't, if she doesn't take a good step, it will once again bring disaster to the already troubled Qing Dynasty.

On the way back, Yi? I figured out one thing, the whole world knows that Liu Jun in Liaodong, although he is a courtier of the Great Qing Dynasty in name, everyone knows that it is a semi-independent kingdom. Spain did not go to Lushun to find Liu Jun this time, but came to Beijing to find the imperial court. Obviously, it was the forces that were afraid of Lushun. Especially the Beiyang Naval Division.

Since he was afraid of Liu Jun, he could only start from Liu Jun, or use Liu Jun's power to not go down to Spain.

"Prince, Tianjin urgent telegram."

The Spanish minister did not come, but the curtain was opened by a telegraph room guard.

Tianjin emergency electricity, what is the emergency power in Tianjin at this time, Yi? frowned. Meditate.

"Read." When the sky falls, there is a kind of domineering I have.

"If the Spanish minister dares to persecute the imperial court, Lao Tzu doesn't mind going to Manila to kill once."

What? Abundant? Raising his head suddenly, he couldn't believe that this tone was Li Hongzhang's. Li Hongzhang is a great Confucian, and he will never say such a thing. There is only one explanation for this. The telegram was sent by Lushun Liu Jun and forwarded by Li Hongzhang.

Bang, Yi? snatched the telegram in his hand, and suddenly saw the end, and sure enough, the payment behind was not Li Hongzhang, but Liu Jun.

The sky has eyes, Yi? A smile appeared on his face. He believed that this time the Spaniards would definitely leave in disgrace.

In less than half an hour, the Spanish minister walked in proudly, led by the guards. Said arrogantly: "Your Excellency, have you figured it out, what do you want to do?" ”

"Your Excellency, once again I am deeply sorry that my country is unable to give your country any compensation and apology." Abundant? After speaking, he walked to the desk, picked up the protest book, and handed it to the Spanish minister with a puzzled face.

"Aren't you afraid of fighting each other?" When the protest failed, the Spanish minister began to threaten with force.

"Oh, I forgot, there's a telegram here, I think the Minister liked it." Yi, who has never been joking? The first light joke, walked over to the desk and picked up those telegrams.

The Spanish minister looked puzzled, from Yi? He took the telegram in his hand.

Huh, Yi? With a cold snort, he clearly saw that the Spanish minister, who was full of confidence just now, was now pale, and the beads of sweat on his forehead were also flowing inadvertently......

At the Lushun Headquarters, there was already heavy snow outside, Liu Jun, who was standing in front of the window, looked at the snowflakes in the sky, tightened the cloak on his body, and turned back to the charcoal brazier.

As soon as Zhong Lin saw Liu Jun coming, he immediately asked the question in his heart.

"Head, I don't understand, why do you want to help the court this time, isn't it good to let foreigners slaughter the court?"

Liu Jun looked at Zhong Lin, who was picking up the tongs and clamping the charcoal fire, and frowned: "Why, you think so too."

Zhong Lin did not deny it, but nodded.

Liu Jun smiled slightly, and did not answer Zhong Lin, but raised his head and looked at the snowflakes outside the window.

A few days ago, an urgent telegram was sent from the Beijing station, and the Spanish minister officially protested to the imperial court because of Liu Jun's massacre of the indigenous people in Manila, and demanded that the imperial court apologize and let the imperial court compensate 5 million taels of silver.

Liu Jun, who got the news, was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and the news he received at noon asked Zhong Lin to ask Tianjin to forward a telegram to Beijing in the afternoon, if Spain dared to entangle this matter, he would once again order the Beiyang Naval Division and the Lushun Army to go south, this time not to kill the natives, but to solve all the Spaniards in Manila, and leave no chickens and dogs.

"Have you ever heard of a brother who came to outsiders to rob early when he saw that he was not in harmony?" Liu Jun thought for a while and replied.

Zhong Lin shook his head in confusion.

Liu Jun shook his head slightly, and probably told the story.

This story probably means that two brothers in a family compete for the position of the eldest brother. The head is broken and bleeding, this matter, a guy with bad intentions and bad intentions, because he was bullied by his younger brother, he knew that his little brother was not good at bullying, so he could only bully the eldest brother who was not beaten, and at this time, the little brother who had always been suspicious of the eldest brother actually picked up the brick and slapped it at outsiders.

"Head, I understand, what you mean, how we are fighting with the imperial court, that is also our own business, but as soon as the Spaniards come in, they want to extort things from the family."

Liu Jun nodded, that's what he thought, his own family's affairs, his own decisions, and no outsiders were allowed to interfere. If anyone is shameless, he will temporarily put aside the contradictions with the court and unite with the outside world.

Smiling slightly, Liu Jun picked up the tea. Take a sip gently.

It's teachable. Looking at Zhong Lin, who was sandwiching the coals, Liu Jun thought in his heart.
