Although the "gift package" sent by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is large, for Yixin in the Forbidden City, he can't enjoy it to the fullest.

The Russian devil riding on the neck of the Qing Dynasty court knew each other very well, and there were people like Yixin inside, but outside it was the current extremely bad situation of the great enemy, Putiyating didn't need to spend much tongue, Colonel Corsini and his officers and soldiers who were really rampant for a while recognized their heads. Many of the officers and men even secretly rejoiced in their hearts that they could finally go home, not to mention whether they could still bring home those smuggled and looted property to enjoy, at least they would not lose their precious lives in this strange land.

In fact, the soft bullies the hard and the fear, this is the essence of their kind of thing.

Even so, Yixin and the others still couldn't get excited.

Although Yi Xun and Bai Ye were indeed personally instructed by their Empress Dowager Cixi, and were fully aware that the general trend was gone, it was precisely because of this that they were more worried. This fuss was so big that even though Yixin kept saying that "the past is not to blame", they didn't believe it would be true at all.

Li Hongzhang was taken by an inch, but Rong Lu was lucky, he died under the knife first, and he did not taste the taste of being captured, which can be regarded as escaping the greater tribulation with Li Hongzhang. And the few capable cadres under Li Hongzhang, Cheng Xueqi and others, did not have such good luck, and accompanied by Master Li, who had given them a moment of glory and wealth, they were disemboweled alive one by one.

This is undoubtedly a lesson from the past, Yi Xun and Bai Ye believe that their death is only a matter of time, and where is the difference between this day earlier and one day later? Now that it's come to this point, you might as well just die a vigorous death, regardless of whether it will last forever or be remembered for thousands of years.

As a result, Yi Xin, who was already worried about how to "make peace" with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom under the soldiers in the near future, now has to face the coercion of Yi Xun and Bai Ye first.

I think that at the beginning, there was the Yellow River moat as a shield, and then there were 100,000 brave and loyal loyal soldiers waiting for the first time, coupled with the wolf-like, fierce and warlike Russian army to support, Jinan's peace talks have not yet come to a result, but now? The people have already hit the door, what kind of negotiations do they have to negotiate with the "Taiping Red Bandits" at this time, isn't it seeking skin with the tiger? Fools know that if you continue to toss like this, the end can only be to watch the fall of the Qing Dynasty as a price, in exchange for the personal selfishness of some of you.

Regarding Yixin's appeasement, the iron-hearted Yiyun and Bai Ye not only sternly refused, but also detained Weng Xincun, a scholar of Tirenge University who volunteered to come as a lobbyist, and also made a long denunciation for the traitorous behavior of Yixin and others.

In the condemnation, Yi Xin and Bai Ye also severely denounced Yi Xin and others for colluding with the "red bandits" of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom inside and outside, and even digging corners and demolishing platforms everywhere, so that today's miserable scene that hurts relatives and enemies is happy. At the same time, they also "exposed" the plot of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to fake peace talks and real massacres. Since they claim to be sincere peace talks, why did they just hand over the captured Russian friends to Yixin and others, instead of returning the Queen Mother Lafayette that they thought about day and night?

Yi Xun and Bai Ye pointed out bitterly that at present, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the capital, and there are more than 100,000 Manchurians among them, and they also have the strongest city defense in the world. Zhu Youjian, the former emperor of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, was still able to hang the coal mountain at the end of the day when he faced the rebel army and arrived in Beijing, and he would never steal his life privately. And as a dignified man who has been in China for more than 200 years and has given birth to such powerful figures as Taizu, Kangxi, and Qianlong, am I willing to give up this piece of flowery land that our ancestors spent so much effort to get their hands on, to those born inferior and lowly minions?

Yi Xun and Bai Ye said that they resolutely oppose peace talks with the "red bandits." Although the Central Plains is likely to be completely lost, the Qing Dynasty still has the vast Mongolian steppe and fertile land outside the Guanxi to maneuver around, and the Qing Dynasty will never fall. Since you Yixin and the others are afraid of death, then immediately hand over the palace to us, and we will be responsible for the overall defense of the Beijing Division. You can escort the emperor to break through to the north.

In the end, Yi Xun and Bai Ye claimed that under their call, the princes and nobles of the western and northern cities had already taken action, and at the cost of any net worth, they resolutely wanted to block the "Taiping Red Bandits" from the capital, and let all the people in the world see that there were loyal ministers and dead soldiers in the Qing Dynasty, and they swore to live and die with the capital.

Receiving such a so-called denunciation letter with the nature of an ultimatum, accompanied by a petition letter and a letter of determination signed by dozens of princes and nobles, Yixin and others were silent.

It cannot be denied that some of the words spoken by Yixin and Bai Ye can still cause some resonance in the hearts of Yixin and others. But the cruel truth is in front of us, if there is really a fight, not to mention that the army and the people rise together, even the loess is cheered up, then it is definitely not the opponent of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

As for Yixin, he knew very well that since Director Lin could hand over Igonatiev and the others to them, first, he wanted to give him a chance to save face and make him grateful. Second, it's clearly reminding him at all times that I, Director Lin, are not afraid of how you will deal with the aftermath, just don't annoy me, otherwise, I can come to the Forbidden City at any time.

Yiyun and Bai Ye, the two bastards, really don't have children and don't know about stomach pain!

Of course, Yi Xin also knew that what Yi Xun and Bai Ye said about the princes and nobles of the western and northern cities had already shared the same hatred with them, and they could even spare any of their lives, which was simply a mouthful of stupid words. Those princes and nobles in Manchuria, the children of the Eight Banners, except for waiting to eat the Qing Dynasty with a big mouth, what will they do?

To put it bluntly, Yi Xun and Bai Ye are trying to blackmail him Yi Xin. Whoever has a little calculation in his heart can make it clear, don't look at the Qing Dynasty's treasury is so poor that there are only rats left, but in the home of a prince and nobleman in the capital, the casual furnishings are worth hundreds of thousands, not to mention, not to mention that not all of them have dozens or even millions of taels of real money hidden in their cellars. And the thousands of troops under Yi Xun and Bai Ye are now stationed in the palaces of these princes and nobles, these princes and nobles, not only afraid of the Taiping Red Army outside the city, but also afraid of the chaotic soldiers in front of them, who dares to "have crooked thoughts", wouldn't it be ruined on the spot?

In the Wuying Palace, there was smoke, and those who didn't know thought it was on fire, and Yixin and Monk Greenqin, who had never smoked, also joined the ranks of smokers at this time.

"The rebels for money, that is not recognized by the mothers and sons. Once it can't be controlled, the capital will be completely finished. Monk Greenqin took a hard puff of cigarette, and rubbed his eyes that were smoked with tears, a little helpless. He knew too well the tremendous energy of the rebels.

"How do you control zhì?" Zaiyuan, who had been smoking cigarettes opposite Duanhua, continued to take out a cigarette from the "Great China" brand cigarette case given by Director Lin on the table, lit it with the cigarette butt in his hand, and then crushed the cigarette fart thrown on the ground, "The soldiers from the outer city can't be transferred into the inner city anymore, and now no one can tell who is the last one, and it's even worse to put it in." And relying only on these forces in our hands in the inner city, I am afraid that they will not be able to calm them. ”

"We have collected so many fast guns from foreigners at once, and now we almost have one in our hands, compared to Yiyun and Bai Ye, they are much stronger." Duanhua looked at Yixin, "No matter what, you must lie down with them." ”

"You're saying that a little too easily." Monk Greenqin glanced at Duanhua, reached out and took the cigarette again, took it in his hand and looked at it, it was uncomfortable to smoke, but it was really not good not to smoke. He gritted his teeth and lit one again, and the dry cigarette made him cough a few times, "Ahem...... You...... Cough...... Do you really think that with a foreign gun, these soldiers of ours will become invincible in the world? Jokes, untrained soldiers, the foreign gun in his hand is not as effective as a big blade. ”

"Yes...... Yi Xin's face was full of bitterness, "There are already stragglers in the capital from time to time taking advantage of the fire to rob, if they can't kill Yi Xun and Bai Ye at once, as long as their soldiers make trouble, the capital will soon become a ruin." Since Yiyun and Bai Ye dare to be so arrogant, isn't it precisely this what they rely on. ”

"So what else can we do?" Duanhua's big eyes widened, "This can't work, that can't be, can you just sit here and spend it?" ”

"There's a way, it's just ......," Zaigaki muttered without raising his head.

Duanhua, who was so anxious that he was about to go crazy, was in no mood to urge Zaiyuan to go down this time. This guy, before you get angry in a hurry, he has to sell it.

It seemed that due to the lack of normal reminders, Jae-won raised his head a little strangely, and saw three pairs of hot eyes staring at him. So, he cleared his throat again, scratched his back, and then smiled unhurriedly, "I want to ask, what are the conditions for negotiation with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom?" ”

Exhaled, Duanhua felt a flame rush through his Heavenly Spirit Cover, "You...... I said you, you're not mentally ill, are you? ”
