Ito Hirofumi felt a pain in his heart, if he could have enough money in his hands, then he would be able to vigorously buy warships and let the combined fleet surpass the Beiyang Naval Division, but now, he was empty-handed, and the little money he had left in his hand was still a loan from the British.

To meet the plans of the Admiralty, it is impossible, the only one, only a part of it can be shrunk. Downsizing battleships, etc., and purchasing them when they have money in the future.

Removing the redundant, Ito Hirobumi redrafted a document, signed his name, and then stood up and walked out of the Prime Minister's Office.

It's not enough to nod your head, and this thing can only be carried out after Meiji nods.

Emperor Meiji had not trusted Ito Hirobumi much since his defeat in the last war, but it was only recently that some of Ito's measures were in line with his own intentions, and his trust in Ito Hirobumi has increased.

His heart to conquer the dragon on the other side of the sea has never disappeared, plus Ito Hirofumi's analysis and explanation. Meiji only took a brief look at the document on it and agreed.

Lushun, Li Hanzhang did not go to Shaanxi and Gansu in the end, this credit, Liu Jun did not dare to take the first credit, although this is the case, Li Hanzhang still sent a telegram in private, thanking Liu Jun for his speech in the imperial court.

Looking at this telegram, Liu Jun only smiled slightly, from the time he got that Li Hanzhang was going to be transferred, he had said a word, and the most was the pressure on the imperial court from the front troops to prepare for war.

Now that Songpan has gone south to Yungui, the relationship between himself and the imperial court has returned to normal again. Everyone's well water does not interfere with river water. The tension between the two sides has been alleviated.

This made the imperial court breathe a sigh of relief, and it also made Liu Jun breathe a sigh of relief.

With a creak, the half-closed door of the headquarters was pushed open. Liu Jun, who was boredly playing with the pen on the table, raised his eyes and saw Zhong Lin walking in, and in his hand, it was obviously a telegram.

"Head, the secret power of the Japanese station. Japan is buying warships. ”

Japan again, Liu Jun frowned, put down the pen in his hand, and took Zhong Lin's telegram.

"The human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant, so don't worry about it." After Liu Jun finished speaking, he threw the telegram in his hand on the ground.

Zhong Lin thought that Liu Jun would be furious, but he didn't expect such a result. He lowered his head and thought for a moment: "Head, Japan's purchase of warships this time is obviously aimed at us, why are you indifferent?" ”

Idiot, Liu Jun glared at Zhong Lin.

It's very simple, where did Japan get the money, the account behind the buttocks, the person said, even if he wants to buy it, it will take two years, in these two years, his two giants have been launched, and he is afraid of something, in addition, he still has a secret weapon that no one has in his hands, that is, how much Japan buys more warships, anyway, it will be a result at that time, the whole army will be destroyed, and then there will never be a navy, even a ship with iron.

Last time, I was not strong enough, but once I went to war with Japan this time, I would definitely fight Japan forever and become a country with a sea but no navy. Even, it is necessary to divide the country to be satisfied.

"Do you give him money?" Liu Jun asked lightly.

This one? Zhong Lin was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Liu Jun meant, but he was still a little worried, after all, Japan and Britain are a little close now.

"Head, don't be afraid of 10,000 in case, or I'll send someone to investigate."

Be careful to live a long time, Liu Jun did not object to Zhong Lin's suggestion, and nodded slightly: "You can do this." ”

Beijing City, Chuxiu Palace. The sunny weather did not make the golden splendor of Chuxiu Palace warm, and now there is only breathless pressure inside.

Cixi, who had no expression, glanced at the ministers kneeling on the ground, and did not speak coldly. She summoned the Military Aircraft Department and Rong Lu today, with only one purpose, to give Liu Jun some color.

Liu Jun's telegram at that time, which was considered a direct threat, almost allowed him to go to war with Liu Jun directly, but later, under the persuasion of Zhang Zhidong, he finally endured it temporarily, but it was only temporary.

slapped himself in the face, the original holy decree said that it was to transfer Li Hanzhang as the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, and Song Pan as the governor of Liangguang, but less than three days after the holy decree was issued, the second holy decree was issued again, and Li Hanzhang continued to support the military and government of Liangguang on the spot, but transferred Song Pan to the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu.

Hate, Cixi really hated, she arranged Song Pan in Yungui just to be able to play a role in monitoring the Liangguang region, but now, in order to save face, she had to transfer Song Pan, who had not been sent for a long time, back to Shaanxi and Gansu. I can't swallow this breath, and the court won't swallow it.

What's more, I don't know if it's the talkative one who actually poked out the reason for this incident, and all of a sudden, the Manchu officials all knew that the reason for not transferring Li Hanzhang was actually the threat of Liaodong's troops.

Hate, huge hatred, Cixi decided that even if Li Hanzhang was not transferred, she had to give Liu Jun a dismissal and let him know that the imperial court was not so easy to bully.

"Lafayette, now that Liu Jun is powerful, I'm afraid we won't be able to fight Liu Jun in the north?" Rong Lu cried and lost his face, he was not afraid of death, what he was afraid of was to let himself lead the troops to fight Liu Jun again.

In the first battle of Shengjing, he was already afraid of himself, although he now has a new army with the same equipment as Liaodong in his hands, but those new troops, in the eyes of the court and local people, also have a nickname, double spearmen. A rifle, a bong. With such a force to go to Shanhaiguan to fight against the elite Second Corps of Liaodong, he really didn't have the guts.

"If you can't do it in the north, can't you be in the south?" Cixi glared at Rong Lu viciously.

In the south, Rong Lu is confused, this south is not Liu Jun's territory, what trouble can Liu Jun have in the south.

When Zhang Nanpi, who was kneeling on the ground, was cunning and cunning, and he rolled his eyes a few times, he knew that Cixi was referring to a place, this place, which was the Fuzhou Ship Administration Bureau.

Before he was transferred to the Military Aircraft Department, he often heard Xu Yingqi, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, mention that the Fuzhou Shipping Administration Bureau had close contacts with Liaodong, and had built several warships for Liaodong, and one of them was the Yinsen armored cruiser that had been launched for less than a year.

Now the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau, which has never received orders, has chimneys on the construction site every day, and the No. 2 dock is in a closed state, which shows that the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau was bought by Liu Jun.

If an inspection of the Fuzhou Ship Administration Bureau was carried out at this time, it would be able to let Liu Jun know that the imperial court was not unable to govern him.

"Lafayette, do you mean to close the Fuzhou Shipping Bureau?" Zhang Zhidong stretched his neck and looked at Cixi with a puzzled expression.

"Why, can't you?"

Zhang Zhidong really guessed correctly, Cixi just wanted to move the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau, and she endured the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau for more than a day or two.

In the past few years, the warships and cargo ships built by the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau for Liaodong are not one or two, but the imperial court has not seen a single cent of taxes, but the imperial court has given a lot of silver to fill this bottomless pit.

She had long wanted to make trouble with the Fuzhou Ship Bureau, but all along, she didn't do anything for Liu Jun's sake.

Now, Liu Jun actually doesn't give himself face, how can he step down.

"Send a telegram to Xu Yingqi and tell him that the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau has investigated the appearance of a chaotic party and ordered it to be closed down immediately for rectification."

Disrupted party? Zhang Zhidong smiled slightly, he knew that Cixi said this to avoid stimulating Liu Jun.

The chaotic party does not refer to Liu Jun, but refers to those revolutionary parties that have always wanted to overthrow the imperial court, this group of revolutionary parties, over the years, has launched a lot of armed uprisings in the early south, but each time, it will fail under the suppression of the imperial court.

According to the investigation, the leader of this group of chaotic parties, named Sun Yat-sen, is a native of Guangdong, and his deputy, named Huang Xing, these people gathered in the Heaven and Earth Society, and under the slogan of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, they gathered many people.

"Wechen will do it immediately." Zhang Zhidong glanced at Cixi who was standing on it, nodded, turned around and retreated.
