Qingwangfu!

The signing of the "Xinchou Treaty" certainly relieved these court ministers, and after two months of negotiations, they finally sent away the jackals, tigers and leopards in the West.

But these princes and ministers were not happy, and the signing of the contract did not mean that this matter was over.

Reparations, releases, and even the demarcation of embassy districts and the prohibition of ordinary people from participating in anti-imperialist organizations were all easy for the Qing court.

After all, as the ruler of the country, he still has this bit of courage.

Even, as long as they are willing, they can collect 30 million taels of silver for foreigners within a month, so that they can get out of the house as soon as possible.

And the current Empress Dowager Cixi also regrets not being at the beginning, if you want to talk about the real instigator of this war, in fact, she can't be counted as someone else, it is the Empress Dowager Cixi.

If it weren't for the Empress Dowager Cixi who thought that the Qing army could easily defeat the foreigners, if it weren't for the useless new army that gave the Empress Dowager Cixi great spiritual support, how could the Empress Dowager Cixi dare to declare war on the eleven countries at the same time?

One thing to note is that the Qing Dynasty declared war on the Eleven Kingdoms first, and then the Eleven Kingdoms declared war on the Qing Dynasty, and then sent troops to attack Tianjin.

Legally, the coalition forces are not considered aggressors, because they did not declare war for no reason.

Either way, it's a thing of the past.

But if you want to be truly happy, you have to wait until the terms of the contract are fulfilled.

As for the compensation or something, the foreigners are not in a hurry, but for the last one, the foreigners seem to be particularly concerned.

In addition, the foreigners asked the eleven countries to form an observation group to watch Wang Sirui's execution ceremony in person.

Although they promised the foreigners to execute Wang Sirui, this does not mean that they dare to execute Wang Sirui blatantly, unless they want to provoke a popular uprising.

However, the foreigners were very puzzled and gave them an ultimatum, ordering the Qing court to settle the matter within half a month, otherwise, the main force of the coalition army stationed in Tianjin would personally come over to implement this regulation.

It was precisely because of the persecution of foreigners that Li Hongzhang, Yixuan and others had to get together urgently to discuss this matter.

"Let's talk about any way to do this!" Above the main hall, Yixiao, as the host, sat alone in the middle, and below sat Li Hongzhang, Zhang Fuhua, Niu Menglei and more than a dozen staff.

Today's matter is not something that a few of them can solve, which is why there are so many staff members involved, and as for leaks, I am not afraid of this.

These staff members are confidants who have followed them for many years, and there is no reason for them to leak secrets about this matter.

Yixuan's questioning instantly plunged into a deathly silence below.

It's not that they don't have a way, it's that they don't dare.

"Lord Wang, at the moment, Wang Sirui has tens of thousands of elite troops in his hands, and they are stationed in various key roads in the capital, we have tried to buy them before, but in the end we have returned in vain, but they have ridiculed them. Therefore, in my opinion, the most difficult part of this matter is not how to kill Wang Sirui, but how to suppress Wang Sirui's army. One of the staff members stood up and said.

They can ignore those new troops, but there are 3,000 elites under Wang Sirui's hands, and these 3,000 people have survived the fierce and cruel battlefield, and they are the first to follow Wang Sirui.

Not to mention the high military salary that Wang Sirui gave them, even if Wang Sirui led them to always win the battle, it was not something they could buy them with money.

On this point, Li Hongzhang knows better than anyone that some of the generals under him who followed him in the early days may not be able to influence their thinking.

A leader who can always lead them to victory is self-evident in the importance of an army. Therefore, how to solve the problem of Wang Sirui's troops has become the top priority at the moment.

On the contrary, they did not dare to act rashly until the problem was resolved.

"yes, if you can't solve this problem, then you can't do the rest of the work." The other agreed.

"The biggest fear is that these people will pretend to be obedient and wait until a certain time to deal us a fatal blow."

The affairs of the army are something that every person in power does not dare to be careless, even if this army is just a very ordinary army, and those in power always have to be careful when dealing with their affairs.

After all, they are an army, they have weapons in their hands, they have a deterrent effect, and the consequences of a mutiny are more terrible than those of a people's rebellion.

If it's a civilian, there is a way to solve it if you pretend to obey them, but if it's an army, no one can do anything about this unless they are all killed.

But after recruiting these people, I'm afraid that these people have already become frightened birds, as long as they dare to have any abnormalities, these people will immediately unite together, and when the time comes, they will want to start, but it will not be so easy.

"Lord Wang, there is a plan in the future." While everyone was arguing, Liu Xuexun stood up and reported loudly.

"Speak!" Yixiao's face was a little ugly, but he didn't expect that the dignified prince of the Qing Dynasty would have no way to blatantly deal with a Han person, but instead asked so many people to secretly get together to discuss, which made Yixuan feel very embarrassed, but very helpless.

"In fact, it is not difficult to solve this problem, it only needs a holy decree to solve it." Liu Xuexun stood up and said casually, as if he had a feeling of confidence.

"A decree will solve it?" Yixuan was slightly stunned, and said a little incomprehensibly.

"Lord Wang, I think everyone has forgotten one point, that is, the content of this treaty, Wang Sirui does not know it yet. That is, he didn't know that we were going to kill him. Liu Xuexun explained the key point, since Wang Sirui didn't know, then they had a lot of room to operate.

Liu Xuexun's words made Yixuan and the others suddenly brighten up, and they suddenly realized. Previously, they were mainly brought in, and they brought themselves into a misunderstanding, mistakenly thinking that Wang Sirui already knew about this matter.

In fact, this is also a hallucination caused by too much nervousness, and no one points it out, so they are confused.

"If at this time, the imperial court issued a holy decree, named Wang Sirui as a first-class knight, awarded a product of General Jianwei, entered the military aircraft, and concurrently served as the secretary of the military department, in order to commend Wang Sirui's contribution to the country in this war. According to the usual practice, Wang Sirui must want to enter the Beijing to face the saint Xie Longen, but now the saint is not in the capital, and he can't come back for a while, so it is okay to let Wang Sirui go to Yulin Fort to face the saint.

It is impossible for Wang Sirui to take too many troops with him when he goes to face the saint, at most he will only take a battalion of men and horses, at that time, the prince can arrange ten times the ambush soldiers halfway, and after he enters the ambush circle, he can kill Wang Sirui in one fell swoop.

As for his army, this is even better. Who in this world can ignore fame and fame? The imperial court only needs to issue a few more holy decrees, entrust several of Wang Sirui's henchmen with important tasks, and after Wang Sirui leaves, these holy decrees will be promulgated.

After being promoted, the court still entrusted them with important tasks, at this time, will these young people still go to avenge Wang Sirui? Liu Xuexun continued.

"Wonderful! Wonderful! That's a good idea! After listening to this, Yixuan happily clapped his hands and praised one after another.

Divert the tiger from the mountain and take the opportunity to recruit Wang Sirui's army, as long as his henchmen have a better future, who will care about Wang Sirui's life or death?

Although Yixuan will not reuse Wang Sirui's henchmen, but after this matter is over, he will casually find a reason to withdraw them.

Ambushed halfway, and when the time came, it was said that Wang Sirui was attacked by bandits on the way to face the saint, and as a result, the enemy was outnumbered, and Wang Sirui died and died in battle.

Anyway, as long as the person is dead, the foreigner will not say anything, and when the time comes, the court can reward Wang Sirui, whatever you want, even if it is a prince, anyway, a dead person will not pose any threat to them.

Li Hongzhang glanced at Liu Xuexun quietly, and shook his head helplessly.

Li Hongzhang has already seen through Liu Xuexun's ambitions, but he just doesn't have a Tao.

originally thought that Liu Xuexun would be more restrained, but he didn't expect that he was still ambitious.

Li Hongzhang did not give Liu Xuexun a chance, but Liu Xuexun disregarded Li Hongzhang's trust again and again, which made Li Hongzhang feel painful.

'Well, since your ambition is not dead, then the old man will give you a ride. Li Hongzhang said secretly in his heart.

After making up his mind, Li Hongzhang said softly: "Ambush it with ten times the force, where is this soldier?" ”

Li Hongzhang's words made everyone in the lobby stand still, and the previous excitement faded without a trace in an instant.

yes, where is this soldier? If they still have available soldiers, why did they only bring more than 1,000 soldiers to negotiate this time?

This sounds nice to say, but it's actually much harder to do.

Is it possible to use the 10,000 troops in the capital to ambush? Use the army taught by Wang Sirui himself to kill himself? I'm afraid only a fool would do that, right? If you don't know, these people will directly follow Wang Sirui to Yulin Fort to serve the imperial court.

Besides, if these people leave, what will happen to the capital?

Even if Wang Sirui's army is incorporated, he will not dare to let them stay in the capital in a short time, and the strength of the capital will be even more scarce at that time, and it is not enough to even maintain law and order, how can there be troops to ambush Wang Sirui?

"The imperial court has also been reorganizing the troops in the past few months, and I wrote an excerpt to send it to see if I can borrow some soldiers from the imperial court. However, even if the soldiers are borrowed, the number will not be too much, so it is necessary to control the troops taken away by Wang Sirui, and it is best to control them to less than 100 people. Yixuan suddenly remembered the recent actions of the imperial court, and felt that as long as he wrote about the past and explained the stakes clearly, it should not be a big problem to transfer a battalion of soldiers and horses. (To be continued.) )
