Chapter 52: A Gentleman's Agreement (I)
After careful consideration, Zhang Zhidong picked up the brush and wrote a ten-page letter to Li Zhongju, sending a general to ask him to personally hand it over to Li Zhongju. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The general immediately swore, "My lord, the last general promises that faith is in people, and people believe in nothing." ”
Zhang Zhidong nodded, this is one of the silver-armored generals he trusts the most, he has been with himself for more than ten years, and he is a very powerful young man he promoted from the house slaves.
The silver armor general said goodbye to Zhang Zhidong, took a dozen of his relatives, and immediately rushed to Liping Mansion, he heard from the adults that Li Zhongju is currently in Liping Mansion, as long as he goes to Liping Mansion, he will definitely be able to see Li Zhongju.
Half a day later, General Yinjia entered the boundary of Guizhou Province, and General Yinjia explained the reason, and his own Zhenwu Army led General Yinjia to meet Liu Jiang. Liu Jiang told Li Zhongju again.
Li Zhongju immediately ordered to summon the Silver Armor General.
Li Zhongju looked at the silver-armored general in front of him and felt good, this person was neither humble nor arrogant.
"Governor Li, the last general is a general under the command of the Governor of Liangguang, Lord Zhang Zhidong, and my lord asked the last general to personally deliver a letter to you." The Silver Armor General said suddenly.
Li Zhongju said lightly, "Then you can leave it to the Governor." ”
"Yes, my lord." The Silver Armor General did not dare to slack off.
Li Zhongju took the letter and put it on the table first, "You stay in the mansion first, and the governor will give you an answer within two hours." ”
The Silver Armor General immediately said, "The last general is waiting for the good news of Lord 9." ”
The Silver Armor General was taken down by one of the guards.
Li Zhongju opened Zhang Zhidong's letter, "Li Zhongju, the governor of Guizhou, Yu especially admires Your Excellency's talent, and does not want Your Excellency's talent to be buried, so I want to ask Your Excellency to serve the imperial court." Our generation will contribute to the country together......"
Li Zhong's brows furrowed slightly, Zhang Zhidong just admired himself very much, and wanted to accept himself as his subordinate, even if he was a minister in the same hall. Once she joined the Qing court, could the Empress Dowager Cixi let herself go?
Besides, it is impossible to let yourself join the Qing court, and joining the Qing court can save the entire Chinese nation, and you can make better use of the warship system.
No!
No! No!
No! No! No!
The Qing court is a corrupt group, if it weren't for the hard support of a few people such as Li Hongzhang, Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, and Zhang Zhidong, I don't know what kind of land it would fall to.
What was the attitude of the Qing court towards foreign powers? This is the most angry and angry, who is the Empress Dowager Cixi?
The Empress Dowager Cixi is an old witch who insists on spending millions of taels of silver on military expenses to build gardens, such a supreme ruler, will Li Zhongju agree to join in?
No way!
When pigs fly!
Returning to the end of the Qing Dynasty is to change history, so that the Chinese nation can stand up as soon as possible and stand tall in the east of the world, and all countries dare not be enemies of China at will, or even enemies.
An hour later, General Yinjia was taken to Li Zhongju's study by the guards, "My lord, have you thought clearly?" ”
Li Zhongju smiled and said, "Yes, this governor has thought it through, this is the governor's reply, you can bring it to Governor Zhang." ”
"Yes, my lord." The Silver Armor General immediately said excitedly.
The Silver Armor General left with confidence, and in his opinion, Li Zhongju must have agreed to the invitation of his own governor.
General Yinjia returned to Gyeongwonfu and handed the letter to Jang Zhidong.
Zhang Zhidong couldn't wait to open it, only to see that the letter was written.
"I have heard that Lord Zhang is one of the few good ministers of the Qing court, and I admire him. On July 3rd, I invited you to the border of the two provinces for a detailed secret talk, and each of them led no more than 100 soldiers. Agreed, please reply. Zhongju. ”
Zhang Zhidong weighed the pros and cons, and immediately decided to meet Li Zhongju to see what the people in Guizhou were.
Zhang Zhidong immediately told Yinjia to let him go to Guizhou again, explaining that he was willing to have a secret conversation with Li Zhongju that day.
After Li Zhongju got the news, he immediately sent the most elite scouts, and at the same time ordered Zhou Tiezhu to lead the bravest hundred armor soldiers towards the border of the two provinces.
On the afternoon of 3 July, Li Zhongju came to the meeting place as scheduled, and at the same time activated the detection system of the warship system, and found that Zhang Zhidong had not made any other arrangements. It seems that Zhang Zhidong just wants to talk secretly, so Li Zhongju is very happy, at least Zhang Zhidong's character is still guaranteed.
Li Zhongju immediately sent a soldier to tell Zhang Zhidong his thoughts.
Zhang Zhidong agreed.
The armor soldiers brought by the two of them retreated 200 meters in unison.
The two came together.
Li Zhongju smiled and said, "I have heard for a long time that Lord Zhang is talented, and today I am fortunate to have three lives. ”
Li Zhongju found that Zhang Zhidong was wearing the Qing court's Zhengyipin official mansion, the dragon flew and the phoenix danced, so he was not mighty and domineering.
Zhang Zhidong stared at Li Zhongju and said, "The current man of the year Li Zhongju really lives up to his reputation. Fortunately, I will be honored. ”
"Please!"
"Please!"
The two sat down in the chairs prepared by the guards and stared at each other intently.
One second,
Two seconds,
Three seconds,
One minute
Ten minutes,
Half an hour,
"Hahaha, hahaha......"
The two laughed.
This scene made the soldiers in the distance full of doubts, but they knew their duty.
"Lord Zhang is very persevering, but he is very powerful in this regard, otherwise he can't beat Lord Zhang." Li Zhongju said with a smile.
It turned out that the two had been staring at each other and competing for perseverance, and in the end, Li Zhongju was slightly better than Zhang Zhidong.
Zhang Zhidong was a little surprised, he was definitely the strongest in this regard, but Li Zhongju actually surpassed himself, and Li Zhongju was obviously far from the limit.
Zhang Zhidong said with a smile, "I don't know how Governor Li chooses to submit to the imperial court, and what are the requirements?" ”
Li Zhongju said suspiciously, "Lord Zhang, this governor has never said that he wants to take refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Mr. Zhang, why is this? ”
Zhang Zhidong said embarrassedly, "Governor Li, aren't you already ready to join the Qing court when you invite this governor here?" ”
Li Zhongju sighed, "Qing court, who is in charge of the Qing court, don't say for the time being that I am subordinate to the Qing court, what will the Qing court do to me." Do you think the Qing court can still be saved? Look at the old woman Cixi's practice, you don't feel sad, you listen to the government, what kind of politics do you listen to? What to do? Do you have to let me be my minion? ”
Li Zhongju continued, "I think of the 5,000-year-old cultural history of China, but now it has been trampled on by the foreign powers at will, and the Qing court has signed many traitorous treaties that have lost power and humiliated the country. Do you think such a country is worth our lives? ”
"No matter what you Zhang Zhidong thinks, how to do it? Think about it, are you worthy of your ancestors? ”
Zhang Zhidong was a spirit, and he was a little depressed in his heart, how could they not be like this? They also tried to change, but every time at a critical moment, they would be stabbed by the Empress Dowager Cixi, and their previous efforts would be wasted.
Zhang Zhidong looked at Li Zhongju suspiciously, "Governor Li, what is the intention of inviting this governor today?" ”
