"You ......," Ignatiev shook his head. To be honest, he really hated the scoundrel face of the Orientals, who always hid half and tucked up half of what he should say, as if he could not show their so-called knowledge.

"Alas...... Old friend, you are a rare smart person, you can't fail to understand the true meaning of what I just said, right? Whether Ignatiev is happy or not, he can only temporarily accommodate Li Hongzhang, who told them to give him such heavy authority.

"Your Excellency, as you have repeatedly emphasized, Hongzhang will always be your most loyal friend." Seeing that the original goal had basically been achieved, Li Hongzhang stood up, changed his tough attitude in front of him, and became so obedient again in a blink of an eye, "Hongzhang knows that because of Hongzhang's incompetence and the ignorance of his subordinates, it has brought unnecessary trouble to His Excellency the minister. Here, Hongzhang sincerely apologizes to you for the disrespect just now. As he spoke, Li Hongzhang bent down and bowed deeply to Ignatiev.

The fire that Ignatiev had been holding on to his head was suddenly extinguished a lot by Li Hongzhang's actions. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "General Li, it's still the same sentence, the current situation is becoming more and more confusing, and it is more important for us to understand and support each other, no matter how things change, we must always maintain a steady plan." ”

"Yes, yes, without the overall stability of the court, it is naturally impossible to talk about it." Although Li Hongzhang was also nodding in agreement, there was another expectation in the eyes of the two looking at Ignatiev, expecting Ignatiev to say something at the key point.

"As for what you mentioned......" Ignatiev pondered for a moment and sighed softly, "I have no doubt in the slightest about General Lee's talent, and many of your predictions about the big picture have been proven correct." As soon as I heard that you had come to the capital, I was able to come to the appointment immediately and secretly, which is enough to show my trust in you. General Li, after all, you are a commander who understands things, and some things cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences, and you must understand this. ”

"Understand, understand......" Li Hongzhang nodded again and again, staring at Ignatiev, waiting for him to continue.

Ignatiev put his hands behind his back, walked around the stuffy room twice, and then stopped in front of Li Hongzhang, "According to the meaning of Yi Xin and others, your queen mother had no chance of survival at all. In fact, it is not difficult to understand that you advocate a gentleman and a courtier, and no one wants to bury a curse for yourself. It is we who protect your queen mother for the sake of the overall situation, regardless of their opposition. ”

"Hongzhang has long known this, and Hongzhang's kindness to you is really unforgettable......" Li Hongzhang nodded a little choked and rubbed the corners of his eyes at the same time.

"So far, you have your difficulties, but we also have ours......" Ignatiev sighed again and waved his hand, "Tell your soldiers, be sure to do what you should do, things in the court have their own judgment, don't let the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom take advantage of our internal strife, they are strong enough." ”

After speaking, he looked at Li Hongzhang, "As for General Li, you...... Let's stay here for now. ”

"Here?" Li Hongzhang subconsciously looked around at the small room he was in.

"Where, where, how can it be here." Ignatiev smiled faintly, "In a while, I will inform Your Excellency Commander Muravyov that I will send someone to secretly escort you to our military camp where the Old Summer Palace is stationed. Your news of this here must be kept strictly confidential, otherwise it will not be a good thing for us or for you. But ......"

"Your Excellency the Minister rest assured," Li Hongzhang looked at Ignatiev's puzzled eyes, and hurriedly accompanied a smiling face, and guided the party with ease, "When I left the barracks, I made arrangements in advance, except for a few henchmen, no one knew that I was here." ”

Bastard, he also told me that he was forced by his subordinates to come to the capital to "petition", and his feet were exposed, right? What kind of persecution, this is clearly an organized and planned coercion action that you Li Hongzhang single-handedly conspired up. Ignatiev, although he understood it in his heart, could only endure it for the time being.

On this side, we have to avoid the eyes and ears of Yi Xin and others inside and outside the capital, and secretly arrange Li Hongzhang, and on the other side, Ignatiev has more busy things. After several urgent consultations with Muravyov, he quickly and secretly sent people to Zhangde, Weihui and other places to inquire about the movement of loyalty and righteousness to save **, and wanted to see if there were really so many troops plotting to rebel as Li Hongzhang claimed. At the same time, he sent an urgent letter to Putiyatin, who was still in full command of the peace talks in Texas, informing him of this sudden change on the Western Front.

Although he was a minister to China, Ignatiev still felt in his heart that his understanding of the inner things of the Qing Dynasty was far inferior to that of Putiyatin. If what Li Hongzhang said is true, then, if you want to properly handle this incident, I am afraid that you will be inseparable from Putiyating.

A few days later, the spy sent to the Western Front to rescue the ** returned. The news brought back by the spies was really not optimistic, although the army in the back still looked like the past on the surface, but Wei Hui's original troops near the banks of the Yellow River were all moving and concentrating one after another, and the river defense line was almost useless.

These damn Chinese pigs! As soon as Muravyov heard the news, he immediately became furious, "Bastards, just a bunch of bastards who can't be fed!" We raised them with weapons and personnel, and now they dare to turn around and bite us. Kill this Li Hongzhang first, and then immediately cut off all logistical supplies to them, and at the same time send our troops to clean them up. ”

Ignatiev was most afraid of the commander's temper. Put in order? Who's going to pack? It's okay not to fight, as long as the fight starts, there will be more and more people who are afraid of the opposite, and the Yellow River defense line will be even more empty. But what if you don't fight? Ignatiev was a little overwhelmed by Muravyov's roars.

"Wait...... Wait......" Ignatiev could only comfort Muravyov for the time being.

"Wait? Wait until they make a big fuss? Muravyov was anxious, "What the pigs here owe most is tyranny, and the more they kill, the more honest they will be." Talk to them about tolerance, do they *** understand? ”

"This is a political situation, and it can't be solved by simply fighting and killing, Your Excellency My Commander." Ignatiev, who was forced to be helpless, was also angry, "You should also understand some truth from the reality of the past two years." People here are not as afraid of death as you might think, and when they have an ideal, no matter how absurd it is, they will treat death as a child's play, and would rather struggle tenaciously in the circle of death. Could it be that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the south has taught us less lessons? ”

When it came to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Muravyov was immediately much more honest. But he still refused, after all, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the Great Qing Kingdom is the Great Qing Kingdom, if just because the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was bitten alive by the poisonous snake of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and it melted into any corner of this land, then what are we tsarist troops still doing here?

"Your Excellency the Minister is right, this kind of crisis at hand can only be resolved from the political level." As soon as the news of the temporary adjournment of the peace talks in Jinan was received, Putiyatin, who hurried all the way back from Texas without the slightest delay, completely agreed with Ignatiev's proposition as soon as he opened his mouth at the secret meeting of the three giants held by the legation......
