After only Lin Haijiang and Cixi were left in the conference room, Cixi slowly took off her shawl, hair pendant and armor on her fingers, etc., and Cixi sighed slightly for a long time and said: "The mourning family is no longer the Lan'er you saw in the palace back then, the emperor was still there at that time, and he was carefree!" ”

Cixi paused, looked at Lin Haijiang and said, "But are you still the Admiral Lin in front of you?" That braid is fake too, right? Since you have worked hard to bring it, don't wear it, there are still only you and me here, and it is on your warship, since the mourning family dares to come, they are already not afraid of anything. ”

Cixi looked at Lin Haijiang, who was silent, and smiled slightly: "Since you are already a monarch and a minister, I will only treat you as Lin Haijiang and you as Lan'er, let's talk casually!" ”

Lin Haijiang glanced at Cixi in surprise, then took off his military hat and wig braid very freely, calmly came to the wine cabinet and poured two glasses of red wine captured from the French warship and handed one of them to Cixi and said: "This is the wine of the captured foreigners, the first time to drink may be a little uncomfortable, but if you drink too much, you will enjoy and understand, in 1855, the World Exposition was held in Paris, and the French King Napoleon III ordered the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce to grade the wines of the Bordeaux region. This is the first set of criteria for Bordeaux wines. ”

Lin Haijiang took the crystal cup and turned it counterclockwise a few times and said, "Look at the color first, it's dark red and translucent." After smelling its fragrance, the fragrance is long. Taste its flavor again, mellow and sweet. Drink sparingly under the tongue to feel its sweetness and fragrance. ”

Cixi didn't understand what Lin Haijiang said about the World Exposition, nor did she know Bordeaux wine, but many years of court life allowed her to have the opportunity to contact the essence of Chinese food, she learned from Lin Haijiang's appearance and drank a little, and said after a while: "The taste is sweet and mellow, the fragrance is condensed but not dispersed, and there is a fragrance left between the mouths, which is suspected to be aged for many years of osmanthus wine, but it is not as greasy as osmanthus wine, and it is a little more clear!" ”

Lin Haijiang raised his glass and smiled slightly: "Actually, what I said is just the experience of some wine tasters, but I can't drink it myself, and the sour taste is not as pleasant as Lao Baigan." ”

"Oh? So why is it so admired just now? Cixi glanced at Lin Haijiang with great interest.

Lin Haijiang looked at Cixi, a historical celebrity, through red wine, he had seen some old photos of Cixi, but they were generally taken between the ages of fifty-five and sixty, the young Cixi still has a unique charm, after all, her status is the queen mother of the Qing court, and people will have a special temperament and aura in a certain position, just like a girl with an average appearance, if she is named a princess, the girl's original ordinary appearance will also make people have a earth-shaking change, In fact, this change comes from the observer's own perspective of observation.

Many times people's views on affairs are constantly changing with subjective changes, Lin Haijiang gently shook the glass and said: "What I enjoy is the process of these red wines being enjoyed by the victors as trophies, not the wine itself!" ”

Cixi looked at Lin Haijiang's resolute face in the light and was slightly stunned, compared with Tang Jiayao, Lin Haijiang's wild surname and that kind of aggressive surname made her heartbeat unconsciously accelerate to the point of uncontrollable, Cixi, who originally wanted to say a few ambiguous words, found that she didn't seem to be able to open her mouth? Ask? Especially begging for a man? It seemed a little difficult for her.

Cixi will be trying to recall the high spirits of the two palaces when they joined hands with foreign aid Prince Gong to win the eight ministers of life, how long has it been? That feeling is gone? Especially in front of Lin Haijiang, she couldn't raise the courage to make decisions before, maybe it was the pressure brought to her by the warships of the South Seas? The first time she sat on such a narrow boat with such a large space, Cixi was very uncomfortable.

After a while, Cixi nodded and suddenly said seriously: "You have made great contributions to the court, but the emperor treated you like this, and I can't complain that you are separated from the court, at this time the world is chaotic, there are long-haired bandits inside, and there are foreigners outside, and your Nanyang is also unstable, and only the morale of the long-haired bandits will be stationed, for the selfish desires of a few people, this world has become more torn and broken, and since then it has become a country without a country, a king without a king, a minister without a minister, you must know that the last offender is the people of the world!" ”

Lin Haijiang thinks that these words for the people of the world and the country are so ridiculous from Cixi's mouth? Although Cixi's expression was serious and righteous, it was difficult for Lin Haijiang to laugh, after all, what Cixi said from the perspective of ordinary people, whether it is Hong Xiuquan or herself, don't put your head on your belt and focus on the public and the people?

Many things are easy to say but not easy to do, and the process of replacing the existing vested interests with a class can be called a revolution, a revolution is to take risks, not to invite guests to dinner, and completely pure and noble people are absolutely non-existent in theory! The reason why people are called human beings is because they have selfish desires, seven emotions and six desires.

Lin Haijiang smiled and said to Cixi: "Since the Empress Dowager has you showcased, I have nothing to scruple about, at the beginning of the year, I have established the Chinese Empire in the old port, and I am the first head of the Chinese Empire." ”

Cixi looked at Lin Haijiang almost dumbfounded, she just reminded her slightly, there was no intention of a showdown at all, could it be that there was something hidden in her previous words? Cixi recalled the previous conversation and did not find her mistakes, since she did not make mistakes, it seems that it is not herself but the other party who is preparing for the showdown.

Cixi put down the wine glass and straightened her figure and said, "Then why did you lead the fleet to Dagukou to pick up the mourning family to inspect your Nanyang sailors?" Do you want to use the mourners as hostages? I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed, even if the mourning family dies, they won't be used by people with wolf ambitions to endanger my Qing Dynasty! ”

Lin Haijiang ignored Cixi, who was slightly excited, but opened a porthole forcefully, and a fresh sea breeze poured in with the sound of the waves, Lin Haijiang took a deep breath and said: "The reason why I am acting in this scene is because I want to concentrate on development and construction now, Qiongya, Taiwan, the old port, Indonesia, and Ryukyu all need large-scale development and construction. If you fall behind, you will be beaten, I am afraid that you know this much better than me, the Queen Mother. ”

Although Cixi had already made it clear to Lin Haijiang, Lin Haijiang talked about pulling the flag and firing guns in person, and Cixi still had another uncontrollable sorrow in her heart.

While controlling her thoughts, she pretended to be calm and said, "What will happen after your development and construction?" ”

Lin Haijiang said categorically: "The long pain is better than the short pain, eliminate all the enemies that hinder me from completing the great cause of reunification, of course, if the Qing court royal family is willing to abdicate, under the premise of peaceful settlement, I will also consider retaining the nominal imperial family, which will be supported by the imperial political axe every year." ”

Cixi snorted coldly and said, "Wishful thinking! ”

Lin Haijiang smiled slightly, opened the red velvet curtain on a wall in the war room, entered a set of passwords, pulled out a combat map, and said with the following baton: "With the two fleets of the navy to completely block the coast and cut off the maritime trade ties between the countries and the Qing Dynasty, the 20 brigades of the army with 100,000 people and the 10 brigades of the Marine Corps with 50,000 people, along the two Guangzhous and two roads, along the Yangtze River and left and right, with five inland gunboat formations to sweep the Central Plains and Dingding, sweep away the customs and Mongolia, Xinjiang Province, and Tibet Province, and take back Lake Baikal and Annam. The largest port in the Far East was established in Vladivostok as a cruising anchorage for the main fleet. ”

Cixi stood in front of Lin Haijiang's strategic decisive battle diagram and was silent for a long time, and finally pointed to the land and sea surrounded by dragons and asked: "You want to go east and west to beg the mourning family and say nothing else, but the mourning family doesn't understand why you want so much sea?" What can a small island the size of a sesame mung bean do? ”

Lin Haijiang said out of the porthole: "Science and technology will advance by leaps and bounds because of the war, human beings will usher in a long period of peaceful development after the war, all kinds of military technology continue to be used for civilian use, ordinary people's lives will change from quantity to quality, on the planet we live in, 75% of the area is the ocean, the ocean is connected to Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, who can control the ocean, who is equivalent to being able to master the future, there are countless non-renewable precious resources in the ocean, even if our generation can not exploit and utilize, We can also bequeath to future generations that all will be good until the next worldwide economic and political crisis. ”

Lin Haijiang glanced at Cixi, who was full of puzzlement, and said frankly: "The Qing Dynasty is just one of countless historical dynasties for China, the owner of this land is the descendant of the Chinese descendants, the change of historical dynasties is the trend, the wheel of history is unstoppable, just like the miraculous rise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, now the Manchu Qing Dynasty has rotted, and rotten from the roots, this dynasty can only represent the interests of a very small number of people, so it must be eliminated, The future Chinese empire will represent the wishes and interests of all Chinese, and the future empire will have many ethnic compositions, and under the continuous national integration, the country will become more stable and unified. ”

Cixi was suddenly extremely surprised: "There is only one result of intermarriage, that is, the demise of the nation, and the development advantage of the huge Han ethnic group is the ultimate goal of your so-called ethnic integration?" ”

Lin Haijiang smiled and nodded: "This is just an idea of mine, and there is no plan for specific implementation, or how to implement it." ”

Cixi was silent for a moment and said, "It seems that you are not going to let me go back to Yanjing!" ”

Lin Haijiang frowned slightly and said, "Why do you say this?" ”

Cixi smiled slightly, and pretended to be relaxed: "Have you told me all your secrets, are you still ready to let me leave here alive and return to Yanjing?" ”

"All my secrets?" Lin Haijiang lit a cigar for himself and said: "For you, these may be secrets, but for me they are not, this is called strategy, which requires strong military and economic strength as the backing, without these two things it is called delusion and rhapsody, I believe you can wait and see my iron armor sweep the world." ”

Lin Haijiang paused for a moment and continued: "The fleet will arrive in Ryukyu in three days, and you will be able to see a wonderful beach-grabbing landing, and people will have ideals and dreams, whether they are ideals or dreams, it is actually a very useful fig leaf, just like Columbus discovered the New World?" Bringing only infinite death and endless plunder, placing yourself under an aura of sublime greatness,"

Lin Haijiang immediately stretched out his arms and said: "My ideal is to establish a vast Chinese empire and give our descendants more space to survive. ”

Lin Haijiang immediately shifted his gaze to Cixi, who was already a little frightened, and waved his hand: "No one can stop me, don't wait for me to regret it when the soldiers come to the city, it's too late!" ”

Then Cixi didn't mean to send off guests? Lin Haijiang didn't mean to leave, after the previous verbal arguments, the two of them who were a little thirsty were silently drinking red wine, Cixi seemed to be eager to find a way to paralyze herself, Lin Haijiang's ambition and arrogance and unscrupulousness made her very frightened.

If it is replaced by other people, Cixi laughed at most, one year is not two years, two years is not three years, the rebellion is nothing more than mutual attack, mutual hold, decisive battle, although the current long hair looks very powerful, but with the help of Russia and Western countries, the bandits can only be a chaotic party, and it is only a matter of time before the bandits are consumed, but now it seems that it is hopeless whether it is to persuade or delay Nanyang.

For Lin Haijiang, who had mastered the absolute initiative, Cixi felt a sense of fear for the first time, she was very afraid that everything she had would be ruined by the man in front of her.

Soon the two bottles of red wine bottomed out, and Lin Haijiang looked at the touching Cixi and suddenly remembered that this future Lafayette, who had brought disaster to the country and the people, was only twenty-three years old this year, and a primitive impulse began to play a role under the influence of alcohol.

"Lan'er?" As soon as Lin Haijiang's words came out, Cixi suddenly looked like an electric shock, and said with a confused expression: "What do you call the mourning family?" This is a great disrespect! Mourning for ......"

Cixi suddenly remembered that Lin Haijiang was no longer her courtier of the Qing Dynasty, Lin Haijiang suddenly grabbed Cixi's hand and picked her up and threw her whole person on top of Fengluan, the so-called Fengluan is actually a big yellow pear driving bed with a column, surrounded by curtains, at least sixteen people need to work hard at the same time when starting to travel, and it is usually used on top of six horses together.

What surprised Lin Haijiang the most was that the entire Fengluan was like an assembled one, which could be quickly disassembled into several parts, so the widest war room on the Zhenyuan ship became Cixi's bedroom, and the Fengluan was also reassembled in the war room.

To Lin Haijiang's surprise, Cixi was thrown on the bed and suffered while not making a sound? A pair of mournful eyes as if encouraging Lin Haijiang?

Lin Haijiang, who has been busy running around the world, has forgotten the last time he slept with a woman? However, Lin Haijiang is already a little entangled, this is Cixi! Are you too bold? Lin Haijiang suddenly noticed that a trace of disdain flashed in Cixi's eyes between weighing?

"Your grandma's!" Lin Haijiang tore open Cixi's placket, Cixi subconsciously covered her skirt, but then suddenly hugged Lin Haijiang and said eagerly: "Call me Lan'er, call me Lan'er!" Today, I am not the queen mother of the Qing Dynasty, you are not the head of the Chinese Empire, I am Lan'er, you are Lin Haijiang! ”

Lin Haijiang was a little dazed by impulsiveness, tore Lan'er's skirt and pounced on it, Lin Haijiang pushed all his loss of control to the effect of alcohol, in fact, this is a mentality that he himself can't understand, just like why successful people in later generations like those stars or strong women and female politicians, it is because of conquering these women and seeing them get an unprecedented sense of satisfaction under themselves.

Maybe this feeling is still beyond the scope of ethical standards, but as a man, especially a man with lofty goals and ideals, Lin Haijiang never thought that the first step in his achievements was not the battle to unify China, but to become a historical celebrity, the empress dowager of the Qing Dynasty?

Why does it feel so weird? But at this moment, Lin Haijiang doesn't care about anything weird or not, he is a man who has not had sex with a woman for a long time, and under him is a woman who is also dissatisfied and burning, and the sky is thundering.

Lin Haijiang found that the woman under him was not blindly pandering, but refusing in a very moderate range of skill, and even resisting slightly, you must know that this kind of action with a brutal and aggressive surname is more likely to stimulate a man's wild surname, it turns out that Lan'er is so tasteful? Is it any wonder that Xianfeng was so short-lived?

After the passion, Lin Haijiang threw Lan'er on Fengluan's cushion, but to his surprise, Lan'er actually crawled over, and a warm feeling suddenly made Lin Haijiang rot bones**, Lin Haijiang was extremely emotional, in the end, it was professionally trained in the palace, it was different, it was really different, this is probably the most expensive woman in China at the moment, right?

Looking at Lan'er, who was panting softly under him, and tried his best to restrain himself from feeling that he didn't dare to let go completely, Lin Haijiang, who had regained his strength, made persistent efforts and moved forward bravely, but no matter how strong the opponent was, in the end, they lost both, and the two finally lay panting on top of Fengluan.

After a while, Lan'er got up and found new clothes from Fengluan's pianoside cabinet and began to change them neatly, and then began to comb her hair, and then tidy up the messy Fengluan, while getting dressed, she admired the scene of Lan'er who looked like a little woman cleaning up things, Lin Haijiang always felt that this was actually the most real side of Cixi, saying that from a thousand to ten thousand, she was still a woman in the final analysis.

"Lan'er?" Lin Haijiang called out tentatively and softly, Cixi was obviously stunned, and then said: "You can call it before you leave this house!" Out of here, I am still the queen mother of the Qing Dynasty, who are you? My Nanyang Naval Commander Lord Lin? Or His Excellency the Führer of the Chinese Empire? ”
