Since Wang Jundao occupied the Yanjing area, Cixi and Guangxu have become his palms, and he has completely controlled the Qing Dynasty government, and he has implemented a series of iron-blooded policies, and most of the people who disobey his discipline have been cleaned up by him.

Almost half of the ministers of the Military Aircraft Department, the Cabinet, the Six Ministries, etc., were eliminated by him through various means, especially the Prime Minister's Yamen, which was controlled by the Manchu princes, and almost all of them were purged by him.

However, due to the scarcity of talents, Wang Jundao could not let his own people carry out political reforms, let alone implement the new policy, so he finally promoted countless officials of the original Qing court to the positions of ministers who were cleaned up by him, and because of this, those new ministers were both afraid and grateful to him, and those ministers who were not cleaned up by him could only obediently listen to him.

The cabinet was personally stabbed by Wang Jundao, and he changed the surname of the cabinet, so that he controlled all the administrative departments of the Qing court, including the six ministries, the big and small nine qing, etc., all of which were under the management of the cabinet, and he handed over the affairs of the cabinet to Wei Zhongcheng and Meng Xingliang to deal with together.

Although the two of them are a little inexperienced, but under his guidance, they can solve problems together, and there is no problem, all the internal affairs in the palace, Wang Jundao was temporarily handed over to Lin Heier and Bi Yuxue, Lin Heier is in charge of internal affairs, Bi Yuxue is in charge of the defense and supervision of the palace, and there are two of them plus the original 'red light' group of senior sisters who are good at handling logistics, and there are no problems in the palace.

The Military Aircraft Department has also been expanded by Wang Jundao to manage military affairs and military information from all over the country, and he has invited Xu Yongyi to be fully responsible for him, with Xu Yongyi, a quasi-old man, in charge, the Military Aircraft Department has also become an organization dedicated to serving him.

The Prime Minister's Yamen was temporarily separated by Wang Jundao, because the current situation is somewhat special, but because a large number of Manchu officials in the Prime Minister's Yamen have been cleaned up by him, Wang Jundao urgently needs someone to deal with this equivalent agency of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, so he thought of Tang Shaoyi, who returned from North Korea two years ago because of his father's death, and now he happens to be in Yanjing.

It didn't take long for Wang Jundao to see Tang Shaoyi, who was famous in the history of his previous life, although Tang Shaoyi is now a middle-aged man of thirty-eight years old, but he does not have much old color, he is in good spirits, and he shows talent, especially the beard on his lips, which adds a few touches of wisdom and elegance to him, but unfortunately the braid on the back of his head looks a little uncomfortable.

Tang Shaoyi was also looking at Wang Jundao carefully, Wang Jundao was much younger than he imagined, he thought that Wang Jundao should be twenty years old no matter how bad he was, but now no matter how he looks at it, he is only ten years old, how can he not connect Wang Jundao with the person who defeated the foreign soldiers with a strong wind and controlled Yanjing with iron and blood, for a while, his spirit was a little trance.

Through Tang Shaoyi's eyes and expressions, as soon as he empathized, Wang Jundao saw through what Tang Shaoyi was thinking, and said lightly: "It's not a good habit to judge people by their appearance. ”

Tang Shaoyi's face instantly appeared a touch of shock when he heard this, he looked at Wang Jundao in shock, and happened to see Wang Jundao's eyes that were so deep that he could see through almost everything in the world, he only felt a little chill in his back, and the young man in front of him had an experience and mood that was extremely inconsistent with his age.

At this moment, Tang Shaoyi realized that Wang Jundao was unfathomable, and after thinking about it, he smiled bitterly in his heart, how could someone who could do such an unusual thing not be unfathomable?

Tang Shaoyi smiled awkwardly and said, "Tang is in love." ”

Wang Jundao nodded, didn't take it to heart, and said, "I won't say much polite words, you know the purpose of my coming to you, right?" ”

Tang Shaoyi nodded slightly, and said: "Tang is not talented, he thinks he also has some ability, national affairs, maybe Tang can't solve them, but ordinary civil and political affairs are still difficult for Tang." ”

"I like confident people."

Wang Jundao glanced at Tang Shaoyi, very satisfied with Tang Shaoyi's answer, confident but not conceited, he nodded and said, "I want you to help me handle all the administrative matters of the Prime Minister's Yamen." ”

The Prime Minister's Yamen, the full name of which is the Prime Minister's Yamen for National Affairs, consists of three ministers of trade and five ministers of trade, which are responsible for handling foreign trade (including foreign affairs) affairs. The Minister of International Trade of the Three Ports was in charge of the trade affairs of Niuzhuang, Tianjin, and Dengzhou.

In 1870, the Minister of International Trade was changed to the Minister of Beiyang Commerce, referred to as the Minister of Beiyang, who managed the trade and foreign affairs of Zhili (Hebei), Shandong, and Fengtian (Liaoning) provinces, and handled matters related to foreign affairs, coastal defense, customs duties, and government-run military industry.

Wang Jundao's words are very meaningful, I like confident people, which means that I am optimistic about you, and I asked you to help me deal with the affairs of the Prime Minister's Yamen, that is, I want you to be in charge of the Prime Minister's Yamen alone, and I also want you to help me do things.

Of course, Wang Jundao's words are also clear, only let Tang Shaoyi handle administrative matters, and the implication is that you don't have to take care of military matters such as coastal defense and military industry.

Tang Shaoyi is a person who understands, naturally understands, when he came, he was already mentally prepared, Wang Jundao's treatment of various officials in the Qing court He also knows, he is not the kind of person who does not know the current affairs, but he didn't expect Wang Jundao to give him such a high position, in charge of the prime minister's yamen, and handle all administrative affairs, which is equivalent to letting him serve as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and he was a little flattered for a while.

After a long groan, Tang Shaoyi looked at Wang Jundao and said, "I can temporarily help you deal with all the administrative affairs of the Prime Minister's Yamen." ”

The implicit meaning of Tang Shaoyi's words is that I am not loyal to you, and I can leave.

Of course, Wang Jundao also understood, and said with a smile: "I believe that with your vision, you can naturally see that in today's world, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has been called Bo Xishan, and in this world, there are not many people who can save China's thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, you are not the kind of pedantic person, you should be able to judge the situation, and, don't forget, you are a Han person, I am also a Han person, to be an official of the Han people, to serve the Han people's country, you should rush to the honor." ”

Tang Shaoyi was shocked in her heart, and was silent for a while, and then said: "You mean that you can save the world?" ”

Wang Jundao shook his head and said: "I don't want to save the country, the country is broken, I need to completely defeat it, and then create a new country." ”

Tang Shaoyi frowned and said, "But at least today's world is still the world of the Manchu Qing Dynasty." ”

Wang Jundao said with a smile: "From the day I entered the palace, it is no longer so. ”

Tang Shaoyi said: "Do you know that everything you are doing now is very likely to be the enemy of the world, and the princes of all walks of life in the world are afraid that it will not be long before they will raise troops to denounce you, and when the time comes, the whole world will be completely eroded." ”

"So what?"

Wang Jundao smiled faintly and said, "How can you see a rainbow without wind and rain?" The world is in turmoil, all those restless people want to be kings and emperors, since they have that kind of heart, it is better to break out earlier, and wait for me to completely destroy it, so that the established world will be a new world, a united world, even if there is internal strife and external troubles, I don't care, more than half a year ago, there were only 100 people around me, I still did not retreat, now there are so many people around me, what reason do I have to be afraid of retreating? Fighting with the sky, the joy is endless, fighting with the earth, the fun is endless, fighting with people, the fun is endless, even if it is the enemy of the whole world, so what? Although there are tens of millions of people, I will also go! ”

What a big breath!

Tang Shaoyi's heart couldn't help but be shocked, and he felt that his heart that was gradually settling and stabilizing seemed to start surging again.

Wang Jundao glanced at him, and then said: "The world is in turmoil, I will cut the world, the invasion of foreign invaders, I will wipe out the foreign invaders, for five thousand years, when will my Chinese land be less than civil strife?" My descendants of Yan and Huang, when have I ever been afraid of foreign criminals? The Xiongnu were rampant, and finally disappeared, the Turks were strong, and finally disappeared, the Mongols were fierce, and finally retreated to the plateau, the Manchus had no way, and foreign soldiers were raging. ”

is as quiet as Tang Shaoyi, and I can't help but hear the arrogance, yes, when will there be less war in my Chinese land? When have you ever been afraid of foreign criminals?

At this moment, his eyes when he looked at Wang Jundao completely changed, the young man in front of him was a person with a real emperor's majestic style, and he actually had the urge to kneel down and surrender to Wang Jundao.

In the middle of the ring, he came back to his senses and said in a deep voice: "I will help you handle all the affairs of the Prime Minister's Yamen." ”

Subsequently, Wang Jundao asked Tang Shaoyi to concurrently serve as the Minister of Beiyang, and he was also only in charge of politics, regardless of the military, and the departments under Tang Shaoyi's control were all under the control of the cabinet.

Just when Wang Jundao and Tang Shaoyi's chat was coming to an end, Lin Heier made a report from outside the study, and after getting Wang Jundao's permission, she walked in and looked at Tang Shaoyi on the side, she didn't say what was the matter.

Wang Jundao obviously knew what she was thinking, and said with a smile: "It's all my own people, let's say, what's the matter?" ”

Lin Hei'er glanced at Tang Shaoyi, who looked grateful, nodded at Wang Jundao, and said, "Commander, Tianjin has sent an envoy over." ”

Wang Jundao glanced at Lin Hei'er and said with a smile: "They asked for peace?" ”

Lin Hei'er shook his head and said: "I said that I was going to negotiate, but I was arrogant and arrogant, and it seems that I should have come to put forward conditions." ”

Wang Jundao sneered and said: "Since this is the case, let's give him a dismount first and let him starve for a few days, but don't let him starve to death, just give him some water to drink, drink some gruel to continue his life, and see if he is still arrogant in a few days." ”

"Yes."

Lin Hei'er didn't feel that there was anything wrong at all, Wang Jundao's words were orders, and after answering, he turned around and left.

"Wait."

Wang Jundao stopped her and said, "By the way, lock him up for a few days, don't let people talk to him, don't ignore him if he wants to scold, I want to see what he uses to shout with me." ”

"Yes!"

After Lin Hei'er went out, Wang Jundao said to Tang Shaoyi with a smile: "It seems that you have just taken office, and the matter has come." ”

Tang Shaoyi said with some concern: "Isn't it bad not to let the envoy eat?" Also, will the confinement cause dissatisfaction among the coalition forces? ”

Wang Jundao shook his head and said: "It's okay, the more fierce he comes, the more afraid the coalition army is, anyway, the war has already started, no matter how you treat him, the relationship with the coalition army is impossible to ease, I haven't seen those foreigners and foreign soldiers treat my Chinese people preferentially, in this case, why should I treat their envoys preferentially?" ”

Tang Shaoyi felt that Wang Jundao made sense, nodded and said, "What does the commander need me to do?" ”

"There's no hurry." Wang Jundao waved his hand and said with a smile: "Since the coalition army has sent envoys over, its main purpose is nothing more than to delay time, their current strength in Tianjin is less than 20,000, and even half of them are already frightened, 10,000 foreign soldiers who can fight, I haven't seen it yet, since they want to delay time, they want to wait for local orders or reinforcements, I will also be sincere and benevolent." ”

In fact, the coalition forces want to delay time, why not Wang Jundao?

He needs time now more than the coalition forces, he needs time to consume what he 'eats', or he's going to have indigestion.

And Wang Jundao knew that within a month, the coalition army would increase its troops on a large scale, although the coalition army only defeated the Qing political axe with 20,000 or 30,000 people and occupied Yanjing, but it still increased its troops by 60,000 or 70,000, and then dared to act recklessly in Zhili, Northeast, Shanxi and other places, if the Eight-Nation Coalition Army really only had 20,000 or 30,000 people in China, how could it dare to be so rampant?

And now because of the arrival of Wang Jundao, history has changed, the coalition army was defeated in Yanjing, I am afraid that there will be more than 60,000 or 70,000 troops by then, and in the near future, Russia will send 200,000 troops to occupy Northeast China, which is what Wang Jundao needs to face directly.

Therefore, the coalition army needs time, Wang Jundao needs time even more, if God gives him another year, even if it is only half a year, he will not be as embarrassed as he is now.

Tang Shaoyi naturally didn't know this, but asked puzzledly: "Since the coalition army has only 10,000 combatable soldiers left, and the commander doesn't take it seriously, why don't you defeat them in one fell swoop?" Take Tianjin back? ”

Wang Jundao shook his head helplessly, he knew that Tang Shaoyi was only good at politics and diplomacy, and was not good at military affairs, so he patiently explained: "It is easy to take Tianjin, but it is difficult to hold Tianjin, my foundation is too shallow now, although I occupy Yanjing and the surrounding areas of Yanjing, but it takes time to consolidate, if I take Tianjin now, firstly, I don't have so much strength and energy to control, and secondly, at that time, I will directly face the warships of the coalition forces, and now I don't have my own battleable fleet, it is not wise to directly face the navy of the coalition forces, It is better to confront the coalition forces occupying Tianjin, to put it bluntly, for me now, if Tianjin is recovered, Tianjin will only become a burden to me. ”

Tang Shaoyi was a little embarrassed, and suddenly realized: "I see." ”

Wang Jundao glanced at Tang Shaoyi and said, "I will give you some bottom lines for negotiation later, although you go to negotiate with the envoys of the coalition forces as you do, you don't need to have any results, and you don't need to reach a consensus with the coalition forces, you just need to drag on the time as long as possible." ”

In fact, it's not that Wang Jundao doesn't want to send troops to Tianjin, but he doesn't dare to send troops to Tianjin now, once he fights Tianjin, the coalition army will definitely do a battle of trapped beasts, and then it will definitely be a big war, and the tiger army that Yanjing City has just established is bound to all be put into battle, then Yanjing City will be completely empty, and even if Tianjin is captured, he will not gain a firm foothold in Yanjing, and he will be in danger in Tianjin, and the result can only end in tragedy.

What he has to do now is to wait, wait for Yanjing to stabilize initially, wait for Cui Jingluo to take charge of the cabinet and implement the new policy for him, wait for Yang Polu to lead the first division of the expanded Tiger Ben Army to sit in Yanjing, wait for Tai Mingyue to personally sit in the palace, exercise his powers, take charge of military and political affairs, and wait for her to lead the Yanhuang Group to expand business and assist in the implementation of the new policy.

In that way, he will have no worries and can teach the Eight-Nation Alliance a lesson freely!
