"Bang!" Li Hongzhang saw that Ding Ruchang was kicked by Li Yi again, and he couldn't get over his face anymore, so he angrily smashed the teacup in his hand, and scolded angrily: "Bastard, do you still have me, the lord of the middle hall, in your eyes, dare to be so presumptuous!" ”

Ding Ruchang, who was lying on the ground, was secretly proud when he heard Li Hongzhang's words, he and Lord Zhongtang are both from Anhui and his descendants, with Li Yi so compared, it shows his loyalty even more, it seems that the position of the commander of the Beiyang Navy Division can't run, "Ouch, hey!" Ding Ruchang pretended to be in pain, Li Yi's inattention offended Zhang Peilun, in the face of Li Hongzhang's anger, Ding Ruchang's pretense, Zhang Peilun seemed to be invisible, raised his head and counted how many purlins there were on the roof.

Li Yi was not timid in the face of Li Hongzhang's anger, he had already figured out that as long as he was useful, then Li Hongzhang would not give up himself for this little thing, if he felt that he didn't, he would have invited himself out of the Li Mansion a long time ago. Besides, this is at home, not at the yamen of the Prime Minister's Office, and kicking Ding Ruchang by himself does not mean that he disrespects him.

"Lord Zhongtang, you are a person who makes me extremely respectful, you can be said to be the head of the Qing Dynasty, and you can be called the world's three strongmen with German Prime Minister Bismarck and US President Grant, so I have great respect for you, as the saying goes, a man has gold under his knees, so I didn't kneel and bow, but it doesn't mean that I am unreasonable to you, as for why I kicked people, I think Master Zhang will understand."

"Zhang Peilun feels wronged, he honestly counts the purlins, doesn't say anything, why is he still being pulled into your dog tearing cat bite, Li Yi is really a bastard, I understand, I understand a fart, do you still have to pull a cushion back to die?

Li Hongzhang, as the head of the Han Dynasty, is deeply influenced by Confucianism, and the importance of fame is often greater than profit, Li Yi's words are the first time he has heard them, this is really too good to hear, if he can be heard by the emperor and Lafayette in the court, it would be better.

"Yu Ting sit down and listen to Li Yi!" Although Li Hongzhang didn't say it directly to Li Yi, Li Yi also understood that Li Hongzhang was no longer angry, and continued to let himself say that he somewhat recognized his own views.

"Lord Zhongtang, then I'll start with land defense, for thousands of years, we have always been the center of the continent, and we have always thought that the Qing Dynasty is the center of the world, if we go back three hundred years, it may be correct, but now the center of the world is Europe, and the major Western countries led by the United Kingdom not only surpass the Qing Dynasty in terms of economy, culture, and military strength, but we can't deny it politically, they are doing better than us!"

"You bastard, not only bastard, but also dare to comment on national politics, what is the difference between this and rebellion!" Ding Ruchang felt that he had found Li Yi's sick words again, jumped up, and scolded Li Yi with his fingers on his face.

An honest man still has a three-point temper, not to mention Li Yi, Li Yi used ingenuity in the first two feet, and did not hurt Ding Ruchang, this time he dared to point at his face and insult himself, it was simply looking for death, Li Yi raised his leg and kicked him in the chest, Ding Ruchang snorted miserably and stopped moving.

This time Li Hongzhang didn't even look at Ding Ruchang, this thing is simply stupid, talking in his own home, he shouted rebellion, didn't he get himself into it. What's more, what Li Yi said is very much in line with his heart, but the national strength, military strength, economy, culture and education have really fallen behind in an all-round way, the political system is complicated, and the establishment is chaotic, which is also a point that he, the prime minister, needs to change, and he understands better that if the Qing Dynasty system is not changed, the country will not be far away!

Li Yi saw that although Li Hongzhang had his eyes closed, he looked like he was listening, which clearly meant to let Ding Ruchang lie on the ground for a while, and then let him continue to speak.

"The current Qing Dynasty can be described in four words - embattled! I won't talk about the internal factors, Lord Xiangbi Zhongtang understands more thoroughly than me, land defense we have only had one main enemy in the east of Tsarist Russia for a long time, but now it is not, there is a British Army stationed in the southwest Indochina, the French Army is stationed in the southeast, and Tsarist Russia in the northeast has organized a large Cossack cavalry, I think Lord Zhongtang also understands what the purpose of Tsarist Russia is, I can infer that within two years, Tsarist Russia will send troops to the three provinces outside the Guanguan. ”

"From the twenty-seventh year of Kangxi to the ninth year of Guangxu, Tsarist Russia forced us to sign twelve land cession agreements, it can be said that Tsarist Russia will be able to cut off a piece of our territory every time it sends troops, and the Tsarist Russian invaders who have tasted the sweetness, coupled with the funding of Britain and France, it is inevitable that they will send troops to the Qing Dynasty, and we are already facing a big war."

"The national march at the beginning of this year was huge, if the imperial court could not meet their demands, I think the next time it would be a large parade that the Manchus could not bear, and if the imperial court wanted to meet their demands and quell the holding of another large march, then it must face the attack of the British and French troops."

"If my estimate is correct, in three years our country will face the threat of war, and then we will have no choice - war! Only war! So what we do now is to prepare in advance for any provocation from the aggressor! ”

Zhang Peilun is just a clear stream, a capable person with a good mouth, Li Yi's remarks, Li Hongzhang not only did not refute, but also made a contemplative appearance, he understood that this is not an alarmist talk, but imminent!

"Haiphong!" Li Hongzhang closed his eyes and said.

Li Yi understood what Li Hongzhang meant, and he agreed with his own point of view, "We are now developing the navy at full speed, and it is impossible to win the naval fleets of Britain, France and Russia, but we cannot but develop the fleet." ”

"Crisis!" Li Hongzhang only said two words.

Li Yi understood that Li Hongzhang wanted to first explain the solution to the maritime threat of the three countries, and said: "Establish a coastal artillery unit!" The Guangzhou Arsenal has developed a 280mm coastal defense cannon with a firing range of 20,000 meters, which is fully capable of destroying ships near the shore. ”

"Fees!"

"Five million taels of silver, 100 coastal defense cannons and supporting ammunition, and the establishment of a coastal defense artillery force of 5,000 men. Time: Completed in two years! ”

"Write a detailed plan and hand it over to my house tomorrow!" After Li Hongzhang finished speaking, he waved his hand to send off the guests.

Before Li Yi stepped out of the threshold, Ding Ruchang pulled up hatred for Li Yi again, "Lord Zhongtang, this bastard thing is simply lawless, and he doesn't take you seriously at all. ”

"Get out!" Li Hongzhang roared!
