Chapter 356: The Clock of History

Hearing his mother's deliberate emphasis on Bian Lingcheng and Yang Guozhong, Emperor Tongzhi suddenly remembered his teacher Weng Tongyi, and couldn't help but have a harsh feeling. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Even if Master Weng is a heavenly eunuch and is in an important position, it won't be Bian Lingcheng and Yang Guozhong, right?

"What the emperor said is that the son remembers." Although Emperor Tongzhi was not convinced, he still bowed his head and replied in a small voice.

"Don't stand still, Emperor, sit down and talk." Empress Dowager Ci'an noticed that beads of sweat oozed from Emperor Tongzhi's forehead, and his legs trembled, thinking that he was frightened, and she couldn't bear it, so she hurriedly said.

Emperor Tongzhi felt that his legs were weak at this time, and he was unsteady on his feet, he knew that this was the result of the palace maids who had just been in succession after the queen Yunyu, and when he heard the Empress Dowager Ci'an's words, he suddenly felt like an amnesty, and after thanking him, he immediately sat down on an embroidered dragon porcelain pier.

The Empress Dowager Cixi noticed the panicked appearance of Emperor Tongzhi, knowing that her words had already had an effect in his heart, and it was estimated that he would not come nonsense, so she did not ask about it again, but slowed down and asked about the emperor's daily life and homework.

Emperor Tongzhi saw that his mother no longer asked him about the war in Fujian and Taiwan, and his face became more kind and kind, and his heart was settled, and he suddenly felt relaxed all over, and his answer became much sharper.

The atmosphere in the Joy Book House was relaxed. After the Empress Dowager Cixi asked the Tongzhi Emperor for a while, she chatted with the Empress Dowager Ci'an, while the Empress and Concubine Hui listened on the side, and they might interject a few words when they had time, and the family chatted happily for a while.

Emperor Tongzhi sat there, feeling a little bored, but he didn't dare to leave, for fear of upsetting his mother, he turned his head and happened to meet the queen's concerned gaze.

Seeing the new queen who was as beautiful as a peach blossom, Emperor Tongzhi's heart moved again, and then he saw that Concubine Hui also looked over, and saw Concubine Hui, who was also beautiful and not inferior to the queen and seemed to be more charming, and the idea of implementing the same method on Concubine Hui moved in his heart.

It is estimated that Concubine Hui's performance is definitely not much worse than that of the queen......

Emperor Tongzhi was there with lustful thoughts, but suddenly found that the empress and Concubine Hui looked at him and suddenly became frightened.

Emperor Tongzhi was stunned for a moment, and was about to ask, but suddenly found that something like water flowed out of his nostrils and dripped down the corners of his mouth.

Emperor Tongzhi unconsciously touched the corner of his mouth with his hand, and immediately saw the red blood.

"Your Majesty ......" The queen got up with a frightened face, walked quickly to the side of the Tongzhi Emperor, gently pressed the nostrils of the Tongzhi Emperor with a handkerchief, and gently supported the back of his head with one hand, so that he could maintain a slightly upturned posture to prevent the continued flow of nosebleeds.

At this time, Concubine Hui also ran over when she saw this, and hurriedly wiped the hands of Emperor Tongzhi with a handkerchief to wipe the blood stains on it.

The Empress Dowager Cixi and the Empress Dowager Ci'an didn't understand what was going on at first, but when they saw the blood stains on Concubine Hui's handkerchief, they all changed color and got up in unison.

"Quickly pass on the Imperial Doctor!" The Empress Dowager Cixi immediately thought of the empress's demeanor just now, and her face turned blue for a while.

"Whoa—hurry up and pass on the Imperial Doctor!" When Li Lianying saw this scene, she couldn't help but panic in her heart, and immediately said to the little eunuch beside her. The two little eunuchs immediately flew out of the Yiqing Book House.

"What's the matter, Emperor?" The Empress Dowager Ci'an remembered the last time the Empress Dowager Cixi cried in front of her with the living stall of Emperor Tongzhi, and she was also shocked.

The Empress Dowager Cixi was worried about the emperor's safety, so she did not reprimand, but asked with concern, "Did the emperor take any tonic because he was unwell?" ”

"If you go back to Huang Eniang, it may be because my son has been feeling weak recently, so he used more Korean ginseng......" Emperor Tongzhi replied with his head tilted and in a slightly dull voice.

When the Empress Dowager Cixi heard her son's answer, anger rose in her heart again, but she endured it and did not have a seizure, but sat down again.

"Mr. Li, get cold water!" The queen saw that Emperor Tongzhi's nosebleed was still flowing, and turned her head to Li Lianying and shouted, Li Lianying reacted at this time, hurried down, and after a while, she personally brought a basin of cold water up, and the queen and Concubine Hui respectively soaked it in cold water with a handkerchief, and put a face on Emperor Tongzhi, and worked hard for a while before the bleeding stopped.

"There's no need to pass on the doctor, my son is fine." Emperor Tongzhi glanced at the empress and Concubine Hui gratefully, and said to the two mothers.

"Or, let the emperor go back and rest first." The Empress Dowager Ci'an said to the Empress Dowager Cixi with some concern, "Ask the imperial doctor to go to the emperor's palace for diagnosis and treatment." ”

"It's not too late to go back after the doctor has finished his treatment." The Empress Dowager Cixi said, "The emperor will rest here for a while." After the doctor's consultation, I asked what prescription I was prescribing. If the Emperor is hungry, he will eat at my place. ”

Hearing that his mother didn't let him go, and he had to stay here to eat, Emperor Tongzhi couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart.

It seems that there is no time to test on Concubine Hui today......

At this time, Concubine Hui suddenly noticed the moment Emperor Tongzhi looked at her, and somehow, she shuddered.

At about the same time, in the West Cross Courtyard of the Prime Minister's National Affairs Yamen, there were also people who were worried about the safety of another person.

"Compared with the time on these excerpts, Xiamen was bombarded by Japanese ships, when after the naval battle in the East China Sea." Wen Xiang looked at several notebooks about the war in Fujian and Taiwan on the table, and said to Prince Gong Yixin as if relieved, "After the Japanese ships bombarded Xiamen, they wanted to return to the ship, but they were chased by Lin Kunyu and the shipmaster and sailors in the East China Sea, and the Japanese ships were defeated and surrendered. ”

"That's it." Prince Gong nodded, pointed to the excerpt played by Lin Yizhe, and said, "The reason why he didn't mention the bombing of Xiamen in the excerpt was not because he wanted to hide it, but because he didn't know it at the time. ”

"Such a scholar is really hateful! He actually grasped this matter and impeached him vigorously! It's clear that he wants to put him to death! Wen Xiang sighed, "I'm afraid that his great work will be wasted!" ”

After the news of Xiamen being bombed by Japanese ships came out, the officials in Beijing immediately moved and impeached Lin Yizhe, as if they had all become military experts overnight, and for these bullets, Prince Gong, who was the prime minister's government, and Wen Xiang, the minister of military aircraft who had always been optimistic about Lin Yizhe, naturally chose to take them down.

"Behind this matter, I'm afraid that someone is at the instigation." Prince Gong frowned tightly and said, "Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a common word, and the time is about the same." ”

"In any case, for Lin Kunyu, we still have to push gravity protection." Wen Xiang said, his face was full of expectations, "I originally thought that he was just a talent for managing the country and doing politics, but I didn't expect that Jiang Luo would also be his director. ”

"Entering can be a phase, leaving can be a general, Wenzhongtang really knows people!" Prince Gong couldn't help but laugh when he saw Wen Xiang's eyes sunken in their sockets emitting a strange light, "It seems that Wen Xiang really has to ask him for a protégé post." ”

"The title of this article and the title of Wu, he passed, and the answer sheet given, the old man was also very satisfied, this protégé, the old man is determined, but it is still the same......" Wen Xiang remembered one thing, looked at Prince Gong, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face.

"Oh? What's missing? Prince Gong asked curiously.

"When the time comes, the prince will know." Wen Xiang took a deep breath and said, "Now, let's help him get through this current difficulty!" ”

"yes!" Prince Gong nodded and said, "I estimate that after this wave passes, Zuo Jigao is there, and I'm afraid that there will be an excerpt coming up." ”

"Zuo Jigao will definitely be on the fold." Wen Xiang sneered and said, "Then let's see the move!" ”

At this time, neither Wen Xiang nor Prince Gong thought that before Zuo Zongtang could impeach Lin Yizhe, Lin Yizhe had already made a move against his subordinates.

Langqiao, the ship "Weiyuan", the officer's restaurant.

Lin Yizhe is adjusting his pocket watch.

It's a habit he's developed since he was a kid – at any given time, his watch is a few minutes ahead of standard Beijing time! And even in this time and space, after he saw the Western table clock in the officer's canteen on "Weiyuan", he adjusted the minute hand of the French pocket watch that was given to him by Riyige a few notches forward......

There was no light in the room, and when Lin Yizhe looked at the pocket watch in his hand, a little light was reflected on his well-defined face, which made this young man, who had always given people a sense of simplicity and amiability, look a little weird at this time.

The minute hand of the clock can be adjusted forward, that...... Can the clock of history also be turned forward?

The Western mother and child painting on the pocket watch case reminded Lin Yizhe of his forehead again, and he couldn't help but feel a cramp in his heart.

Yes, the reason why he came to the "Weiyuan" ship was to recall the time he spent on the ship with Aya.

In order to change the clock of history, he lost the life of the woman he loved!

And now, the Qing Dynasty, which has entered the end of the world, has not changed so significantly!

Lin Yizhe forcibly suppressed his bitter thoughts about Eya and forcibly pulled his thoughts back to thinking about history!

No dynasty will stand still in the end of the world! The Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties are all the same, and so is the Qing Dynasty today......

In the original historical time and space, in 1860, the Gengshen Change, the British and French forces burned the Old Summer Palace, followed by the establishment of the Prime Minister's Yamen and the vigorous Westernization Movement; In 1874, the Korean Mutiny, Japan's troubles gradually appeared, and then there was the first coastal defense plan; After the Sino-French War in 1885, he decided to govern the navy; Nine years later, after the defeat of the First Sino-Japanese War, Ma Guan signed an alliance under the city, which was the Wuxu change method of the scholar to save the country; And after the Gengzi Revolution at the turn of the century, it was the last glimmer of light before the dying of this dynasty - the New Deal at the end of the Qing Dynasty......

Throughout the history of the late Qing Dynasty, all of these rescue strategies were all made up for the loss of the teacher and the humiliation of the country, but none of them could be regarded as a precaution before the arrival of the military disaster!

Lin Yizhe frowned slightly, took the pocket watch in his hand closer to his eyes, and his blazing eyes immediately stared at the fast-moving minute hand.

Time is running out! However, if the new policy at the end of the Qing Dynasty was implemented before the Gengzi National Change, and even more, if the policy of "changing the law" set by Li Hongzhang in his "Preparations for the Folding of Coastal Defense" could be comprehensively laid out and implemented for a long time, would it be possible to reverse the decline of the country that had lasted for nearly half a century since the defeat of the First Sino-Japanese War?

Lin Yizhe put down the pocket watch in his hand, gently closed his eyes, and gently rubbed his temples with his two index fingers at the same time.

To change history, do you really have to create another branch by yourself? Why can't we channel the original torrent of time a little bit and bring forward some of the established historical events that should have happened in the future?

Benefiting from, or benefiting from, the free and open education of studying abroad, Lin Yizhe has developed a very down-to-earth habit of thinking about doing what he can.

Lin Yizhe, who has a strong interest in history, once came to Dandong, a small border city that experienced the First Sino-Japanese Land War and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.

And that day, in this "patriotic education base", he heard a voice that did not conform to the main theme!

And the one who made these voices turned out to be the veterans who came to remember their comrades-in-arms!

The veterans told him that the movie they hated the most in their lives was "Shangganling"! In the words of those veterans who have been awarded military ranks twice, "That bullshit film is not even one percent of the real Shangganling!" They gave two of the simplest examples, in that tragic battle, the tunnel was never impregnable, on the contrary, the tunnel that collapsed under the heavy artillery fire of the American army once again and again ruthlessly buried the heroic Chinese soldiers alive in the lofty mountains of North Korea! And the legendary safe and sturdy air-raid shelter has been thrown in by American pilots more than once, blowing it into a sea of fire, burning the people inside to charcoal!

The veterans told him that a soldier needs not only courage, but also awe!

Only because of awe, the beginning knows calmness, qualified soldiers must know "fear" - afraid of impulsiveness, afraid of blind optimism! With a sense of awe, we can know how to advance and retreat, and only then can we know how to learn to "calculate" - calmly admit the advantages and disadvantages between the enemy and the enemy, and then we can carefully estimate the advantages and arrogance between the enemy and us, so that we can learn to take advantage of the situation, so that the enemy will disappear day by day and I will grow stronger, and finally the strength and weakness will change the situation, and the victory will be in my hands!

On that day, he could say that there was a profound moment.

And in the years that followed, he always remembered deeply what the veterans had said.

Now that he has traveled to this era, he is always vigilant about himself!

Traverser! You're a traverser!

A traverser, if he wants to reverse history on his own, must be sober-minded, look on coldly, intervene in a timely manner, and take advantage of the situation!

To be sober-minded is to correctly understand your own strength, and not to think that you can conquer the world with the modern knowledge in your head!

Watching coldly, it is because he Lin Yizhe knows the general trend of the world better than anyone in this era! Except for himself, no one will know the historical trend and changes of the current situation in the coming decades, or even the ups and downs of some people......

But in addition to the item of "knowing the situation", in addition to some knowledge, no matter experience, insight, wisdom and strategy, and behavior, there is nothing comparable to Li Hongzhang, who has now become his best friend, the deceased Zeng Guofan, Prince Gong of the court, Wen Xiang, and the Empress Dowager Cixi! Regardless of others for the time being, it is Zuo Zongtang, who has already been offended by him, just talking about the majestic slogan of doing things, and the superb attainments in kung fu of others who dodge and blame others when something happens, isn't it also far beyond him Lin Yizhe?

And timely intervention is because the traverser has the advantage of knowledge, and can only use his own strengths to make up for the shortcomings of others! And in this principle, he Lin Yizhe has already achieved a little bit.

He deeply understood that if he had not managed to change the site of the shipyard, build a cruiser, and change the outcome of the Franco-Prussian War to obtain foreign aid, he would never have been able to change the history of the Japanese invasion of Taiwan!

The first decisive battle with Japan was artificially advanced by 20 years! Because of him, a spoiler who has crossed over, the outcome of history has also undergone major changes!

It's just that the price he paid for this is too great......

But now, it was impossible for him to stop......

Since there is already a good situation of defeating Japan, and what needs him Lin Yizhe to do is what he needs to do, it should be the situation!

Lin Yizhe was still silently calculating in his heart, over and over again.

Adapt to the situation......

In the original historical time and space, after the defeat of the First Sino-Japanese War, Li Hongzhang visited Germany, during which he met with Bismarck, Li Hongzhang, known as the "Bismarck of the East", once complained to Bismarck himself in a very subtle and euphemistic way that "trouble comes from women......

The trouble comes from the woman! At that time, there were hundreds of millions of women in China, but among them, there seemed to be only one who was qualified to make the dignified Zhongxing minister Li Zhongtang complain so much.

Li Hongzhang has already asserted in the "Preparing for the Coastal Defense Fold" that the current situation has "a great change unseen in thousands of years", and this change covers a wide range, but it is by no means a "strong enemy unseen in thousands of years" The subject-object transposition between "****" and "Yidi" can be fully described, in addition to the strong and weak changes between the enemy and us, it also includes various conflicts between people's hearts, society, nations, deep palaces, power patterns and civilization succession.

And the Empress Dowager Cixi is undoubtedly one of the people who danced the longest in this chaotic kaleidoscope era! the opposition between the old school and the Westernist school about "reason" and "potential", the entanglement of "Chinese body" and "Western use"; the dilemma of "war" and "peace" in the face of foreigners' provocations; and in a series of contradictions, such as the power structure formed after the Taiping Rebellion, in which the central control of "internal light" and "external heavy" was seriously reduced, she twisted and turned, and the other was restrained and turned over the clouds......

Its outstanding skills can almost be used as a must-read power textbook for those who plan to enter the system and ascend to the throne later!
