Chapter Errors/Click here to report

The "giants" in the court seem to have always been like Cixi. When you scold others, you are right, and you can see your own behavior of stealing chickens and dogs at ease. It's no wonder that within the palace walls where the clothes are too lazy to stretch out their hands, and the food is still tired, where is there anything like her to really avoid?

It's pitiful enough to think about, I'm afraid that every subtle action in her life will have an unknown number of pairs of eyes peeping, aren't eunuchs and palace maids human? It's just that she's used to it, and what you think is shameful is normal for her.

However, this time Cixi was too greedy and greedy, and she herself felt a lack of heart, otherwise why would she accuse her ministers of splashing dirty water and playing? She is not afraid, she has not been afraid of anything since she was a child, if she is afraid of anything, it is impossible to have today's glory and wealth, and she can do whatever she wants today. She is even a little aggrieved now, what is the mourning family for? That's not all for the Qing Dynasty. Alas, the mourning family is still young, and it is natural for young people to like impulsiveness. Besides, the strange chaste archway is erected among the people, and I have never heard of that thing in the inner garden of the palace. In any case, the mourning family always pleased their Russian friends and won opportunities for the Qing Dynasty. It's not that the mourning family is scolded, but the people in the world are comfortable? The hatred is very much on those "traitors", they are so mad, so indifferent and ruthless, that they have to tear off the already translucent fig leaf that they put on their faces.

So, she summed up all the evils of this qiē to those hateful "red bandits".

Chinese people like to overturn cases, writing here, in order to avoid someone criticizing the little woman, the little woman first turned over the case to the poor queen mother, who let the little woman push Cixi into such a sad position.

Cixi definitely did not treat Puti Yatin sincerely, she was dedicated to the country. Of course, because of the pure life within the palace walls, it also caused her innocent and transparent psychology, and she thought that playing with Putiyating was her personal freedom, and no one could interfere with it. In the end, Guo Gen is the most hateful of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Without the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, foreigners would not take advantage of the fire to bully her. She can develop slowly, and with the assistance of Li Hongzhang and other Westernists or returnees, she gradually becomes stronger. Ten years is not good, twenty years, this generation is not good, there is still the next generation, as long as the Qing Dynasty does not fall, sooner or later there will always be a day when it will become stronger. Sooner or later, you can swing around the world with your arms crossed, and you can also create the historical glory of a unified pigtail all over the world.

It was the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom that harmed her and made her destitute. It was Lin Haifeng who harmed her, so that she could only sell herself for glory. It's really weird, you gang of poor mud legs honestly do something your duty, you can't do it, you have to rebel? If a good country fights in all directions, don't you feel distressed? Lin Haifeng, you are a person in the twentieth century, why do you want to embarrass a weak woman in the nineteenth century? What did you do? It's really a dog meddling with a mouse. Without the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and without Lin Haifeng, Cixi would definitely be able to become a national hero, a hundred times stronger than Mulan. Otherwise, why didn't she follow Wu Zetian and become the emperor herself? Queen Mother Shengming!

Hehe, after that, we have to write slowly according to the history of the Red Celestial Empire, who will overturn the case? That would have to wait until the day of democracy in the Red Celestial Empire, and keep it for the literati who were well fed, so that they could not find the topic. Don't worry, someone will write it, but what will be the ending after it is written? Everyone can spread the wings of imagination, and when you can't sleep, you can think slowly, and use it as a sleeping pill.

Cixi scolded Du Han's bloody head, and she was tired of scolding, because it involved the empress dowager's noble identity and noble **, there is no need to say in detail what she scolded. Anyway, Du Han was first weak and sweating, and finally his legs were weak and he passed out.

Back then, Zhuge Liang scolded the death of the great Situ Wang Lang was an artistic idea, and Luo Guanzhong was reluctant to make it difficult, and today, the Empress Dowager Cixi scolded Du Han, the minister of mixed military aircraft, which was in full view of everyone, and it was absolutely true.

Through the bead curtain, Cixi watched Du Han fall headlong, and felt indescribably comfortable. Her words did not stop there, but turned to Wang Yixin, "The sixth prince, the empty treasury and the internal affairs office of the mourning family have made a fuss empty-handed, and they have to accompany everyone with a smile like begging for a little money during the New Year's holidays, for fear of offending which master." The mourning family finally has a loyal salvation ** now, the mourning family wants to ask the sixth prince, what do you say to do? ”

Yixin slowly raised his head, but he didn't dare to look at the hanging bead curtain. It is imperative for the two families to jointly defend and unify their command, but they are completely obedient to the orders of the Russians, and if they violate the ancestral system as Monk Grinqin said, it is impossible to talk about it at all, and the ancestral system has long been trampled underfoot. What he feared was that in this way, it would be really a bow with no turning back. Can it win? Victory is good, but the winner is often not to blame. But the expected victory seems very slim. What if we really lose......

He didn't turn his gaze for help to Wang Yiyun of Alcohol County, the president who was loyal and righteous to save ** was just an ornament, and the queen mother deliberately placed it there as a painting in order to seize the military power. He set his eyes on Li Hongzhang's body.

"Empress Dowager, the minister thinks that the proposal of His Excellency the Chief Counsel is feasible." Li Hongzhang really lived up to Yixin's trust, and stepped forward at the critical moment, "From various aspects, although the ministers have a little understanding of new learning and new equipment, they are not as familiar as those from the allies after all. This is also the main reason why the imperial army suffered heavy defeats in the previous stage. For this reason, the ministers and other colleagues believed that it was necessary for the allies to unify the command of the Central Plains army, otherwise, it would be impossible to prevent the further northward invasion of the 'red bandits'. ”

The current Li Hongzhang is a person with unique character traits, and his character traits are precisely a comprehensive reflection of his cultural qualities, psychological conditions, and the imprint of real society. He advocates four points:

The first is "working hard to be an official". Li Hongzhang claimed that he was "desperately an official" with the intention of competing for power and helping the people in danger. Therefore, he moved forward bravely and never took half a step back. He is proficient in "eunuch arts", "good knotting internal aid", "offering flattery to the palace", "solid favor and seeking glory"; He even gave people a good impression of having the courage to do things, "not avoiding hard work, not being afraid of slander", "bending his heart and suppressing his will, and enduring especially criticism, so as to help the difficult times". To put it bluntly, as long as he can be promoted, he can ignore it.

The second is "no learning, no skills". Li Hongzhang boasted that "he does not understand empty words in his life, but only knows how to do practical things with a solid heart". It is true that it is not yet empty talk, but it lacks the so-called "doing practical things with a solid heart" based on "real knowledge," and it is absolutely impossible to achieve the practical results of "turning things around." If he can still have a quiet old age, he will realize this: when the time comes, he will sigh, that is, he should "regret not learning in his prime, relying on a vain and arrogant atmosphere, and acting arbitrarily, in fact, there is no foundation." Now the real knowledge is no longer exhausted. ”

The third is "arrogance of talents". With the soaring status and the expansion of power, he began to change his mentality and become immortal. Those who secretly boast of supporting the "world" of the Qing Dynasty are "who else can I be". He is arrogant and disrespectful to his colleagues, and he reprimands his subordinates at every turn. However, he was also the first person who dared to be extremely flattering to his allies on the surface, but he was secretly snubbing.

The fourth is "that Eliʹrʹrʹr." Li Hongzhang, who was praised by the people of the time as a rookie of the imperial court who knew the current affairs, although he was born in Confucianism, but under the influence of "Western learning" and "changes", he had already developed a tendency to alienate Confucianism. He paid attention to "governing the country and leveling the world" and began to ignore "self-cultivation"; Pay attention to merit and ignore people; Promote utilitarianism and deny the Confucian concept of righteousness and benefit. He once said bluntly, "The world is bustling, all of them are for Li'er, I am not beneficial to others, who will help me?" Utilitarianism is not only the driving force for Li Hongzhang to fight against the Huan Hai, but also a tool for him to drive his subordinates. He selects his subordinates and "focuses on the application of the world." Whoever is strategic and capable will be appreciated and promoted, and the morality of the article is still secondary. Li Hongzhang took utilitarianism as a link, first in the loyalty and righteousness of the water master he controlled, and then formed a huge group within a considerable range.

Li Hongzhang was a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty. He was born into a family of bureaucratic landlords who admired Song studies, and received a strict education in feudal traditions from an early age. In his mind, the concept of loyalty to the monarch is deep-rooted, and he advocates that the position of the monarch and the minister cannot be usurped, and the Xinjiang officials cannot "spy on the traces of the court". He was not stupid, he saw that the Manchu rule was stormy, like "a leaky boat, a rotten wood branch of the vast building, a slight overturn, and then unsupportable", but he still had to "serve the royal family diligently, and there was no other way". He and the Qing court should be interdependent and share weal and woe. He needed to rely on the imperial power of the Qing Dynasty to maintain the rule of the landlord class, and the Qing court would also need to rely on him to "keep the Qing Dynasty safe inside and outside" and maintain the stability of the Qing Dynasty. He fantasized about climbing to the top of power with the help of the Qing court, and the Qing court would hail him as a pillar of China, "no Hongzhang, no Qing Dynasty", this is his lifelong ideal.

In the course of frequent contacts with the Russians, from the unstoppable momentum of the allies, and recalling the repeated disgrace of the Celestial Empire in the past, he felt bitterly that due to the weakness of China's national fortunes, it was difficult for people to straighten their backs and speak in front of the world powers and even allies. He knows very well that foreigners have always been "unreasonable". In view of this, he felt that there was a huge disparity between Chinese and foreign strengths, and that the great powers were "stronger in armament and skilled than me," and that even if the Manchu Qing were lucky enough to defeat the Taiping army, they would not be able to compete with the powers that were eyeing the Taiping army behind them. Especially the Russian bear lurking around.

Therefore, for the Empress Dowager Cixi's luring of wolves into the house, he not only did not have any criticism, but gave her theoretical perfection, in addition to "saving the country with a curve", he also combined the traditional Chinese theory of vertical and horizontal with the Western idea of balance of power that he had just accepted, and flattered Cixi's policy as "using raze to control chaos", and finally achieved the best policy of "using raze to control chaos". Yili was in favor of making certain concessions to the Russian allies in terms of rights and interests, so as to realize the phoenix wish of revitalizing the Qing Dynasty.

He believed that the present situation was "a situation of change unseen in thousands of years", that the Qing Empire was "a powerful enemy unseen in thousands of years", and that the Qing Empire was "accumulating wages on fire, but it was very dangerous." Therefore, he advocated that "those who know the times should know what has changed." They should never fall asleep in the dream of the "Heavenly Empire" and not think of cheering up. For this reason, he spared no effort in every corner to preach that Russians must learn from all Westerners, that they should extensively organize a new policy for Westernization, introduce military equipment, machine production, and science and technology that belong to the "material civilization" of the West, and borrow the armor of Western capitalism to protect the body of Qing feudalism in order to "strengthen themselves" and "stand on their own." At the same time, however, he vigorously rejected the "political civilization" of the West, that is, the bourgeois democratic system.

In less than two years, the establishment, construction, and newly created military and civilian enterprises of the Tianjin Steamship China Merchants Bureau, the Tianjin Telegraph Bureau, the Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau, the Jingu and Beijing-Tianjin Railways, the Cizhou Coal and Iron Mine in Zhili Province, the Yixian Coal Mine in Shandong, the Kaiping Mining Bureau, the Mohe Gold Mine, the Rehe Sidaogou Copper Mine, the Sanshan Lead and Silver Mine, the Baoding Gun Factory, and the Tianjin Machinery and Weaving Layout. took many "firsts" in the history of industrial development in the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

It is precisely because of this that he won the appreciation of Wang Yixin's behavior like an old scalper in his old scalper, and at the same time, he also won his master, Cixi behind the curtain praised him, it is really "a poor family out of filial piety", "the country is difficult to see loyal ministers"!
