"Why didn't the emperor come to the meeting today, shouldn't the emperor know about such an important matter?" Prince Gong? Interrupted Rong Lu said.

"Shut up!" Galeries Lafayette still spoke in a faint tone, but everyone could see that Lafayette was dissatisfied with him.

"The emperor is still young, his mouth is not strict, and he is afraid of leaking!" Yi Xun got up and replied.

Abundant? Seeing that the emperor's biological father had come out to defend himself, he was asking for trouble if he used this reason again, so he immediately closed his mouth and sat on the bench, pretending to listen carefully.

Rong Lu saw Yi? Shut up, and continued: "Li Yi, during the Qing-French War, he came back from Nanyang and entered the army, and achieved the biggest victory against foreigners in the history of the Great Qing Dynasty, the great victory of Kouzhen!" He is also the nephew of Feng Zicai, the governor of Gansu, the actual controller of Liangguang, the chairman of the Ghost Shadow Association, the chairman of the American Four Seas Group, the planner of the Qing Dynasty reform, and the new army training envoy of Tianjin Station! ”

"Buzzing" Everyone was shocked by Li Yi's identity, and shouted: "This anti-thief, since it is under our noses, why don't we get rid of it?" ”

"Everyone, be quiet!" Rong Lu waved his hand to silence everyone and said, "Get rid of? We also want to, but it's too late, and it's time for Li Yi to be suppressed."

"Zhang Zhidong and Bao Nian of Liangguang are just damned, just watching Li Yi become bigger?" Before Rong Lu's words were finished, he was interrupted by those self-righteous princes and belles.

"Shut up!" Cixi was not kind and indifferent this time, but interrupted everyone angrily: "Usually I only know how to be greedy for pleasure, but when it comes to the moment, I come to complain about this and that, what's the use?" Today I am here to discuss our way out, and we are all buzzing and chattering! ”

Lafayette's deterrent power is still very sufficient, everyone suddenly quieted down, and then Wang Yi stood up with a smile and said: "Bao Nian is now the person we must fight for, and we will have more choices with him, so not only can we not scold, but also fight more!" ”

Wang Yi is the fifth son of Daoguang, and he was passed on to Prince Miankai, for Prince Danqin, he is endowed with a rough nature, and everyone doesn't think much of him, he is also an alternative in the prince, and the king does not put the prince on the shelf to the outside world. In summer, a short coat of coarse kudzu cloth, holding a big pu fan, sitting in Shichahai to enjoy the coolness, can chat with people you don't know very lively. In winter, they often wrap themselves in an old sheepskin jacket, sneak away to Zhengyang Building alone to eat roast mutton, and even drink "Erguotou" with the porter sedan chair class in the "big wine tank". Therefore, among the nobles of the heavens, no one knows much about the dynamics of the world, and therefore, the king knows the people's sufferings best, and often asks for orders for the people to do good governance.

At this time, Wang Yicheng stood up and spoke, everyone looked sideways, the situation was delicate at this time, he could get up and speak at this time, doesn't this mean that he has won the trust of Lafayette and wants to be reused? The shrewd people all put away their contemptuous glances and looked at him with a flattering expression.

"Wang Yi is approachable and very recognized by the people, so he will have direct contact with Li Yi, and the rest of the personnel must not provoke Li Yi at will, and the violators will not be merciful!" Galeries Lafayette turned sharply and became stern.

Yi Xun got up and said: "The Great Qing Dynasty is going to be comprehensively reformed, Li Hongzhang's original intention was to proceed slowly, wait for the two Guangzhou, first let the reform of the two Guangxi be completed, and then comprehensively promote it throughout the country, but we can't do this, since the choice has been made, then it is required to be quickly promoted throughout the country, which can involve their great energy, we can free up our hands to speed up the whole Eight Banners Army, and now we must have the power of self-protection." Then there is the new currency reform, we will have a lot of funds, Lafayette has decided to spend all this amount of funds within three years, and then there is the land reform policy when the interests of the Manchurian people are involved, it must be ceded unconditionally, no one can set up obstacles, and the state will secretly compensate you. ”

Rong Lu got up and continued: "From now on, we will rectify the Imperial Forest Army, and the Eight Banners Army, and set up a divine artillery battalion to defend coastal defense, and establish a powerful marine fleet, the Royal Forest Army and the Eight Banners Army are directly under my jurisdiction, and the Royal Forest Army will keep the 100,000 troops unchanged, and the Eight Banners will be expanded, with a full complement of 30,000 people per banner, all of whom will be equipped with new guns and new uniforms." The artillery battalion and the ocean fleet are under the direct jurisdiction of Prince Yiyun, with a strength of 20,000 and 200 coastal defense heavy artillery, and the ocean fleet will have an allocation of 200 million yuan to form a powerful fleet with a strength of 30,000 troops. ”

Everyone now understands that Rong Lu has become the number one celebrity in front of Lafayette, although he is only a baron, but his full strength is far greater than that of all the princes, and everyone's eyes towards Rong Lu have become respectful.

"I think back then, our 80,000 Eight Banner soldiers defeated a million Han Army, and now we have hundreds of thousands of Eight Banner soldiers, the Royal Forest Army, so what else do we have to fear, the Han people are just soft egg slaves, how can they be masters!" After Baylor finished speaking, everyone responded one after another, and the dull and depressing atmosphere just now was also reduced a lot.

"The Han army has a total strength of more than 1 million, and the new army cannot exceed 500,000 troops this time, and their troops in Guangzhou have more than 60,000 people in five divisions, as well as tens of thousands of military cadets, so their new army can only recruit 400,000 people, and each province is a maximum of 20,000 people. Limit their naval development. Rong Lu said.

Prince Gong felt that his face was hot, and the discussion was over, but he didn't have anything to do, so he had to get up and talk, and brush up a little sense of existence: "What you said is simple, we are invincible in the world, but we are landlubbers on the sea, how can we set up a naval fleet full of people." ”

"Prince Gong, we have to do it, otherwise the navy and army will be controlled by the Han people, what will we use to negotiate with the Han people in the future?" Although Rong Lu was very respectful of Prince Gong on his face, his tone was full of disdain.

Prince Gong was angry and decadent, he didn't even have the courage to argue, the situation was pressing, he had to be weak, and the days when he was in power were gone forever.

Cixi saw Prince Gong's decadence, and laughed secretly, what she wanted was this kind of result, maintaining internal balance was her best method, seeing that the heat was almost over, she knew that it was time to give Prince Gong a carrot and Ronglu a big stick, "Prince Gong, you will be responsible for diplomacy in the future, and after a while, you will visit various countries on behalf of the Qing Dynasty to increase friendship, and purchase warships, materials, etc." ”

Prince Gong swept away the decadence, cheered up, the Qing Dynasty announced the opening of the port, and a large-scale increase in imports, then his errand was not bad at all, and said confidently: "Lafayette, don't worry, I will definitely be able to complete the task!" ”

Rong Lu also sensed Lafayette's balancing measures, restrained his aggressive momentum, and sat quietly in his seat.

Lafayette smiled with satisfaction: "Order the Guangzhou Arsenal to give priority to the supply of firearms and materials for the Imperial Forest Army and the Eight Banners Army, and let Li Hongzhang immediately launch a comprehensive reform plan, if the reform is not promoted as soon as possible, then the imperial court will be replaced!" ”
