Who is the Dinghai Divine Needle of the Qing Dynasty? There is no doubt that it is the Empress Dowager Cixi, her judgment and foresight, so that the Qing Dynasty recovered from the deep internal and external troubles of Xianfengnian, and she is more able to control those civil and military all-rounders, all of whom are outstanding Zeng, Zuo, Li and other capable ministers, she is still a loving mother, like an old hen who protects food, and protects Guangxu tightly from the slightest tribulation.

In the texts we have studied, or in film and television dramas, or those so-called experts, they all say that the Empress Dowager Cixi and the Guangxu Emperor are the opposite of mother and son, Cixi is a stubborn conservative, Guangxu is a Ming Jun, a great reformer, a person with lofty ambitions and ideals, and the reason for the failure of advocating reform is because of Cixi, here I say to everyone, this is - fart!

In the main hall of the front hall of Chuxiu Palace, Cixi, Guangxu, Manchu princes, civil and military ministers, eunuchs, etc. are crowded with people, this is the largest meeting that Cixi has taken the initiative to convene in the past few years, and the theme of this time is reform!

"Calling everyone here today is to discuss one thing, reform! Comprehensive reform! Cixi sat on the main seat, swept everyone around, and said: "Today, Li Hongzao, Weng Tonggong and others only look and listen, but can't speak!" ”

Cixi's tone was very soft, but it was no less than a thunderbolt in the ears of Li Hongzao and Weng Tongxi, Cixi was not a soft-hearted and merciful lord, but a really fatal lord, the two of them led a group of clear streams to silently take a step back, not daring to speak.

Even those who shouted excessively every time they went to court didn't dare to make the slightest sound, and even a fart had to be held in the crotch of their pants for a long time before they were slowly released, for fear that this would be classified as talking!

Emperor Guangxu, without the instigation of his teacher, also became honest, sat quietly in his seat, and listened carefully.

"Yesterday, the British Far East Fleet innocently launched an artillery attack on our warship Yangwei in the Korean Sea, sinking the Weiyuan and killing all 167 crew members." Li Lianying's voice was very sharp, but it did not affect the shock of this news to everyone.

"Do the British want to provoke a war?" A minister shouted angrily.

"The British are not trying to provoke a war, it should be said that it is a warning to us!" Prince Gong, Minister of War and Aircraft, said: "The British chose to sink our warship in the Korean Sea, thinking that they were doing it very secretly, but it was seen by our personnel in Korea, or rather, the British deliberately did so, in order to warn us. ”

In the Ming Dynasty, in order to further centralize power, there were no institutions such as the prime minister and the Zhongshu province, and the power of the prime minister was transferred to the cabinet, which handled state affairs. The Qing Dynasty inherited this practice, and the first auxiliary scholars and co-organizers of the cabinet were called Zhongtang, that is, another name for the prime minister, but the real power was held by the Military Aircraft Department, and the officials who served in the Military Aircraft Department were called the Minister of Military Aircraft.

So on the surface, Li Hongzhang is the highest-ranking official, but in fact, the actual power is indeed controlled by Prince Gong. Li Hongzhang waited for Prince Gong to finish speaking, and then stood up and said: "According to the intelligence analysis obtained from our sticky pole, the British and French teams are fully redressing, and they will not be able to start a war against us in three years, but Tsarist Russia in the north is likely to launch a war provocation against us within two years." ”

"So we still have time to prepare?" Pan Zuyin, the secretary of the military department, asked.

"There is time to prepare, and there is enough, it depends on what we do." Li Hongzhang replied.

When everyone heard this, they also understood, this was actually a scene performed by Cixi, Prince Gong, and Li Hongzhang, all of which were arranged, and if you don't understand, don't interject, just wait to hear the result.

Although Pan Zuyin, the secretary of the military department, did not know how to reform, it was obvious that preparing for war was inseparable from his own military department, and the military department must strive for the greatest interests, "In order to be able to resist foreign invasion, our military department must be strengthened, equipment, personnel, support, and so on. ”

"The army needs to be reformed, and it needs to be comprehensively rectified, for example, the new army in Guangzhou has learned from its experience, Guangzhou has done very well, and many experiences need to be learned from us, such as new banks, new currency, support for industrial development, overhaul of roads, and so on." Li Hongzhang said.

"Today's theme is reform, you must express your own opinions, and strive to come up with a good decision as soon as possible, our Great Qing Kingdom cannot let foreigners lead the way!" Cixi Road

It was getting late, Feng Jianzhang and Wan Fuhua had dinner in the restaurant, and they didn't go home, but they walked carefully all the way to the Dongzhi Gate, and they knew that they had something to do tonight when they looked like they were ghostly all the way.

Zhao Xing hung far behind them, slowly following them, although Zhao Xing was just twenty years old this year, but he had a good kung fu, he was 1.78 meters tall at this time.

Zhao Xing, a native of Laiwu, Shandong, has practiced martial arts since childhood, was selected by the new army three years ago, and studied at the Guangzhou Military Academy for three years, after graduation, it stands to reason that he should return to the army and serve as a major battalion commander, but he and Wang Xiaohu, Cao Zhen and other ten people who challenged the commander-in-chief chose to stay with the commander-in-chief, continue to study, and hone for a few years. This time, the commander-in-chief came to Yanjing and didn't let other personnel come over except for bringing ten of them here, so they also had to serve as the commander-in-chief's escort duties, and Zhao Xing also had an ability that his ears were very good, and he would definitely be able to distinguish the sound he heard next time.

Out of Dongzhimen, Feng Jianzhang and Wan Fuhua walked around in a big circle, and after making sure that no one was following, they quickly dodged into a farmhouse courtyard.

Zhao Xing touched the small courtyard not far away, and noticed that this small courtyard was a little different from other courtyards, not that it was tall and high-grade, nor that it was simple, but that its courtyard wall was a little high, and the fence of the courtyard wall was obviously a wooden fence, but through the fence, you could vaguely see that there was a brick wall inside, which surrounded the entire courtyard tightly; This is a bit of a taste of silver three hundred taels here.

Zhao Xing cautiously touched into the courtyard, and heard many people talking in the house, both men and women, and vaguely heard the name of the commander-in-chief, Li Yi. Zhao Xing quietly turned to the back of the house and listened closely.

"Chairman, Li Yi has no intention of cooperating at all, we have talked with him for a long time, although he is polite on the surface, but it is all perfunctory, and he has no intention of cooperating with us at all."

"He's just an out-and-out Manchurian lackey, a villain who is willing to degenerate, and we should kill him, otherwise he will be our enemy sooner or later." This person's voice was very rough, and Zhao Xing believed that as long as he heard him speak in the future, he would definitely be able to recognize him.

"It's not easy to kill him, I've been observing the hotel for a long time, and he has ten guards who take turns guarding him, and there are no less than four people around him at any given time." Zhao Xing was shocked into a cold sweat when he heard this voice, and Zhao Xing remembered this voice very clearly, it was the honest shopkeeper in the hotel. I didn't expect the revolutionary party to have such ability, and I and others were already under their surveillance, but fortunately

"This Li Yi is Li Yi of the American Four Seas Group, don't underestimate him, his ability is very huge, the Four Seas Group has become a huge money-collecting machine in the United States, our revolutionary cause needs financial support, we still have to try to win him." The person who said this was very young, and Zhao Xing estimated that he should be about the same age as himself.

"It's hard to win him over, Chairman, have you forgotten what happened when you met in Los Angeles? At that time, he thought that since such a person does not cooperate with us, and is contrary to our philosophy, the best way is to get rid of him! ”
