Leaving Changchun Garden, according to the plan preconceived in his mind, Li Hongzhang began to think about how to go to a showdown with the Russians. In his mind, Putiyatin should be a good partner for his first showdown. In the three Russian giants of Muravyov, Ignatiev and Putiyatin in the capital, Putiyatin not only had a special relationship with the Queen Mother that was once inexplicable, but also had a very good personal relationship with him.

Unfortunately, Putiyatin has already gone to Texas and now has to choose between Muravyov and Ignatiev. Muravyov obviously can't be found, this person usually seems to be good to him, but that is nothing more than the fact that he has been holding his tail in front of him. Besides, this Muravyov is a typical jackal who eats people and does not spit out bones, without any political foresight, once he really has a stalemate with him, this bastard will dare to do anything, and he can't afford to provoke him.

After thinking about it, it was only left to find a way to meet Ignatiev.

As soon as Li Hongzhang returned to the carriage and horse shop in Changxindian, he immediately closed the door, took up his pen and wrote a short message without thinking, and sent Cheng Xueqi to personally deliver it to the Russian legation in the city overnight to hand it over to Minister Ignatiev.

"Marshal, can the Russians really come? Do we want to ......" Looking at Li Hongzhang, whose face had changed from melancholy to a little brisk, Tang Dingkui's heart was not easy. To be honest, he also hoped that the Russians would be able to come as soon as possible according to his commander's intentions, but he was more worried that it would not be Minister Ignatiev who the commander wanted to meet, but a group of Russian soldiers. He is not afraid of death, what he is afraid of is that the handsome will encounter accidents, a character like his Dashuai, maybe it will take hundreds of years to give birth to one, which is too precious.

"Don't worry, Mr. Minister will come." Li Hongzhang waved his hand and stopped Tang Dingkui's words, and seemed to have a very bottom-up look in his heart, "However, things are heavy, and you can't take everything lightly, only by thinking about the worst will you get the best ending." ”

As he spoke, he removed the woman's wig and hairpin ring on his head, put on the businessman's outfit again, and continued to put a big beard on his upper lip and chin, looking at Tang Dingkui and smiling slightly, "You stay here and wait for Mr. Minister, and let us out." Ben Shuai will go to the small inn that we have chartered a few miles away, and first go to set up the place where he has a secret conversation with Mr. Minister. If...... If nothing happens, you can lead them over when Mr. Minister arrives. ”

"Dashuai, but in case...... That...... Then we ......"

Li Hongzhang understood what Tang Dingkui was talking about "what if", he clenched his fists fiercely, "If there is an accident, sue your subordinates, no matter who comes, you will kill Lao Tzu!" It is better to kill it, and if you can't kill it, you must kill yourself, and you must not fall into their hands alive. ”

"Yes, handsome!" Li Hongzhang said decisively, and Tang Dingkui's answer was also crisp and neat.

The accident did not happen, and Ignatiev rushed to see Li Hongzhang with only a few personal attachés, despite the starry sky.

Ignatiev seems to be obedient too, right?

"Your Excellency, Honourable Mr. Minister...... Hongzhang only left his post without permission and could not go to the city to visit him in person. I implore Mr. Minister to deign to come to Changxin Store to discuss the most important matters at Hongzhang. Don't delay. "To say that Li Hongzhang is indeed extraordinary, in just a few dozen words, he can make Ignatiev stunned. A commander who was in charge of a large area of the Yellow River defense line dared to run back to the capital without being dispatched, not to mention how much danger it would bring to the entire Yellow River defense line.

So, why did Li Hongzhang dare to do this? Ignatiev immediately felt that something was wrong, this Li Hongzhang wouldn't have something to rely on, right? Sure enough, Cheng Xueqi, who delivered the letter, handed over another piece of paper when the minister read his handsome letter and was stunned for a while.

There are even fewer words on this piece of paper, and after the line "Vice President Li is entrusted by loyalty and righteousness to save all the soldiers and men to go to Beijing willingly", it turned out to be Lieutenant Colonel Nietzschekin, an adviser to the Western Front Command of the Russian-Qing Allied Army.

Lieutenant Colonel Nietzschegin was no ordinary man, he was the youngest brother-in-law of Ignatiev. "How is Lieutenant Colonel Nietzschegin doing now?" Seeing his brother-in-law's handwriting, Ignatiev seemed to be sitting on a brazier, and suddenly jumped up from his chair. You must know that his little sister is his heart, and it was only in order to please his little sister that he borrowed the power in his hand to make Nietzschekin, who had never entered the barracks, a lieutenant colonel for more than a year. If Nietzsche had a bad cuò, it would have been repaid.

Cheng Xueqi's very vicious face, his muscles jumped, "Mr. Consultant is very good, Li Dashuai treats him like our noble Queen Mother, taking good care of him." ”

Obviously, Ignatiev heard this, and there was no need to ask any more.

"Mr. Minister, you and your friends have greatly stabbed us in the heart." In the face of Ignatiev's affectionate opening of his arms, trying to hug himself as before, Li Hongzhang actually moved aside on one side, and there was no warmth on his face, and he went straight to the point.

"General Li, I'm afraid you misunderstood, in fact, ......"

"Mr. Minister, you don't know our people in the Qing Dynasty too well." Li Hongzhang didn't care about Ignatiev's embarrassment at all, and pulled a chair and sat down, "Without the Queen Mother, there would be no loyalty to save **, there would be no Queen Mother, and there would be no Li Hongzhang." Drinking water and thinking of the source, we are people who know how to repay our kindness, and our ancestors have always taught us in this way. ”

"Bang!" Ignatiev slammed the table hard. In front of this Daqing man who dragged his pigtails, he felt that he had suffered unprecedented humiliation, "General Li, you are a soldier of the Great Qing Kingdom, and you are undertaking the obligations of the Great Qing Kingdom. You have abandoned your soldiers, you have abandoned the line of defense that you should have mastered. Didn't you ever think that such an impulse of yours would directly lead to the demise of your Great Qing Kingdom? ”

"Bang!" Li Hongzhang also slapped the table angrily and roared, "I am first of all a general who is loyal to save **, and I am the general of the Queen Mother." Without the Queen Mother, what the hell does the Great Qing Kingdom have to do with me? ”

"You ......" is simply unreasonable, Ignatiev was so angry that he didn't know what to say for a while.

"It was our Queen Mother who invited you and your friends, it was our Queen Mother who gave your Tsar a large area of rich and beautiful fertile land, it was our Queen Mother who carried the vicious curses of those shameless villains, and withdrew the money of the imperial court to support you and your friends, and it was our Queen Mother who gave you ......" Li Hongzhang was angry and excited, and before he finished speaking, he couldn't help coughing continuously. After a while, he glared at Ignatiev angrily, "Mr. Minister, has the Queen Mother treated you badly, and has I, Li Hongzhang, also hurt you and your friends?" No! It's you who backtracked. For the sake of the Great Qing Kingdom, hehe, what a big hat, can Yi Xin govern the Great Qing Kingdom? ”

"General Li, you are too arrogant!" Ignatiev took two steps closer, pointed at Li Hongzhang's nose, and sneered, "Military interference in politics is rebellion, I can announce your arrest right now and hand you over to your court to be brought to justice." ”

"Okay, then you can arrest me and take a look," Li Hongzhang's eyes didn't blink in the face of Ignatiev's shaking fat fingers, "It's just right, since our queen mother is gone, I have long been living without taste, so let's fight to the death!" ”

"You...... You ...... "When you meet a master who is not afraid of life or death, Ignatiev is really helpless.

Li Hongzhang is still happy. Seeing that Ignatiev still still didn't retract the hand pointing at his nose, he sneered again, "However, as long as my Western Front troops don't see the news that I'm alive, I'm afraid that they will immediately lose a defensive line that they should be responsible for guarding and will fight." ”
