On a gloomy night, Yixin walked out of the Forbidden City, and the guards and eunuchs along the way were far away, because today in the Qianqing Palace to kill a small eunuch, although it is very common to kill the eunuch and palace maid with a cane, but it has never happened in the past when the Empress Dowager Ci'an was present, the Empress Dowager Ci'an believes in Buddhism, and often forgives and pardons some eunuchs and palace maids who are going to die, but today the Empress Dowager Ci'an did not speak at all, and no one can guess what happened! Prince Gong, who has always had a gloomy face, stayed away. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Prince Gong Yixin now feels very messy in his mind, and the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces touched her upper lip and her lower lip and said lightly, but how to do that? Foreigners are not fools and idiots, even if they give them everything that the Qing Kingdom can give, these foreigners will not be able to enjoy their lives in the end? None of the warships of the Chinese Empire were papier-mâché, and the combined forces of the navies of the seven Western European countries could not defeat Lin Haijiang. Lin Haijiang is an ironclad piece, any treaties of the Qing Dynasty will not be recognized, and foreigners can't do anything about the Chinese Empire now, what can they do?

In Yixin's view, the current Qing Dynasty is like a piece of fat in front of Lin Haijiang, when to eat, how to eat are up to the people, what makes Yixin puzzled is that Lin Wei has the strength to attack all the way to Yanjing City, but he stopped the offensive north of the Yangtze River, and his reconnaissance cavalry has appeared as far as the southwest of Zhili, why didn't Lin Wei take advantage of the victory to pursue and dominate the world?

However, Yixin knows one thing very well, that is, Lin Haijiang's military attainments are a hundred or even a thousand times stronger than himself, if Lin Haijiang is stupid and doesn't know how to grasp the opportunity, it is actually equivalent to scolding himself for being stupider than a pig. Is it luck or strength? A military wizard in the sky?

For a while, Yixin's heart was in turmoil, and what annoyed Yixin the most was that at this time, there was not even a person who could speak? It turned out that when Li Hongzhang was there, he often reprimanded him, and now Li Hongzhang resigned and returned to his hometown, and he didn't even ask for the official from the ministry, and he didn't even want to be a Qing official in this life, Yixin knew that the last time Prince Yi Zaiyuan hurt Li Hongzhang too hard, although Li Hongzhang is a Han, but he has never doubted his loyalty to the imperial court, and now some Han people in this world are more loyal to the Qing Dynasty than the Manchus, what is this world called? Yixin came to the Tianchang well to prepare to get on the sedan chair, a line of guards and sedan chair drivers were moving their hands and feet in place, obviously the cold day, especially this night, was very difficult.

Yixin didn't get into the sedan chair immediately, and said to himself with a sigh: "In previous years, it was a little warm at this time, but this year it seems to be extraordinarily cold?" ”

How dare the prince speak and the guard sedan chair man dare to speak, they all stand aside and wait for their hands to wait, waiting for the master to speak, Yixin thought for a while and took off the top, took off the court clothes on his body and then got on the warm sedan chair and said: "Don't go back to the house, go to Bada Hutong for a drink, you have all worked hard tonight, and each person will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver!" ”

After thanking the sedan chair in unison, the sedan chair trembled slightly, fluttered off the ground, and Yixin sat in it with his eyes closed.

Compared with Yixin's good elegance and mood, Lin Haijiang is a little entangled in official business, in order to delay the formulation of the overall development plan of the empire in the five months that he left, Lin Haijiang can bring a full set of plans and plans to the battleship, except for the occasional service of Tokugawa Sakurako, most of Lin Haijiang's time is spent on revising the overall five-year development plan of the empire.

Since the Five-Year Development Plan of the Reich had not yet been drawn up with Germany and the overall international situation had changed, the order of the Reich's economic, military, and people's livelihood development systems had to be readjusted inevitably.

The main reason why Lin Haijiang is uneasy is because everything seems to be too smooth now, almost to the point where he wants something, the Qing court is already vulnerable, and the international Sino-German alliance allows Germany to make the British feel threatened in a very short time, so that the attention of the British will be focused on Europe, as long as they don't poke the hornet's nest of India for the time being, The British can only ignore the rise of the Chinese Empire, if Britain wants to forcibly intervene or try to use international trade as a coercion or blockade, then they don't have to be polite to the British, directly subvert their Indian colonies, send weapons to India's separatist and reading forces through Burma to provide personnel training, and let the backyard of the crown jewel of the British Empire catch fire, which is what Lin Haijiang is best at!

In the officer's club on the Zhenyuan ship, Li Anmin and Wang Faren were drinking a plate of peanuts and a few sausages, drinking more than 60 degrees of old white dry, after drinking a drink, Li Anmin threw a peanut into his mouth and said: "I said brother! The two of us, one chief of the Imperial General Staff and one head of the Imperial Intelligence Headquarters, are these two side dishes and two taels of wine too shabby? Your dude, this is also called a treat? Why don't you have some dried salted fish? You've got to get enough of the wine, right? ”

Wang Faren pursed his lips and said: "Don't come to this set, I didn't invite you, you came uninvited, eat my peanuts, drink my wine, and then find fault with me?" Do you think you can be a little more kind? That's right! My sausages are authentic in Germany! ”

Li Anmin glanced at Wang Faren and said, "Come on!" If you eat durian and pineapple in your mouth, can you still eat German smoked sausage? I'm so happy, if you had, you'd have eaten it up yourself! Can you still gossip about this cooking wine and talking about heroes? ”

Wang Faren immediately patted his chest and swore: "This is really what I came back from the coronation dinner of William I, like a fake!" The two of us have two big wine bags at most, where are the heroes! ”

The two looked at each other and smiled after a few words, and Li Anmin suddenly said, "Your brother has been very restless recently!" Is there something too much to think about? That Zhanyang is the second successor of the empire's directional training, if you really have the mind, you can make it clear to the Führer, although cultivation is training, but in the end it is another thing to be able to cultivate it, I am not as old as you, and I don't have the trust of the Führer, if you have a mind, I think you shouldn't hide it. ”

As soon as Wang Faren heard Li Anmin's words, he suddenly woke up most of the wine, pondered for a moment and said, "Did the Führer tell you to tell me?" ”

Li Anmin took another sip and said: "Blind people can see that the power you have at hand now is too great, the Führer is a person who takes care of feelings, he is unwilling to give you power, but the Führer can tolerate you, it does not mean that the entire empire can tolerate you, the head of the intelligence headquarters, power is a good thing, and men are addicted!" ”

Wang Faren thought for a while and said: "I know it myself, but now the country has not been unified, there are so many secrets in the empire that need to be protected, the personal safety of the senior generals and heads of the empire, the anti-special eradication within the empire, etc., all need intelligence departments, and I also want to divide some of the power now, but I am loyal to the Führer, can you guarantee that the people below are also loyal to the Führer?" They won't act recklessly when they get power? Won't you be young and vigorous and cause trouble? It's good that young people have passion, enthusiasm and drive, but they are also inexperienced and uncommitted! ”

After Wang Faren poured himself a drink, he thought for a while and said: "Actually, I also had the idea of a quite head of state, such a big empire, whoever doesn't want to be the head of state is the one who doesn't take it, they are all squatting and peeing!" Do you dare to say that you, Li Anmin, have not thought about it? ”

Li Anmin laughed self-deprecatingly and said: "You just squatted and peed, I naturally thought about being majestic, I am now majestic enough, when the head of state is responsible for the entire country and nation?" I asked myself if I couldn't do it, I really didn't have that ability! can only dream of being an emperor. ”

Wang Faren smiled slightly: "Later, I thought clearly, what is the benefit of being the head of state, our boss is still working hard in the room!" Is it easy? So what's the enjoyment? It's just torment! People outside always think that when they see the Führer high above and the scenery is infinite, they only see thieves eating meat, but they don't see thieves being beaten! Take that short-lived Xianfeng as an example! My subordinates collected intelligence and said that every day Xianfeng, this kid gets up at three o'clock in the morning, and has to sit in the main hall at half past four in the morning, and the courtiers go to the morning court at five o'clock when they see Yubai, and they review the chapters in the morning, summon officials from all over the world in the afternoon, and stay up all night at night to watch the Zezi review until one o'clock in the morning, and it would be good to sleep for four hours every day plus noon! When the emperor is diligent and must have a short life, the diligent emperor inside and outside the Qing court will have a long life, but the emperor of the Qing court is nothing compared to our boss, when our boss fights Changsha, the eyes of the four days and four nights are not together, until after the bloody battle in Ningxiang. ”

Li Anmin also sighed and said: "Now the empire is inseparable from the head of state in big and small affairs!" Sometimes I can't help when I want to! Otherwise, how can the outside world say that the Führer is the true son of heaven? How many people made the Manchu Qing rebel, the Manchu Qing was fine, as soon as our head of state regained the banner of liberation, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was suddenly devastated and vulnerable! If it weren't for the Führer's order to renovate and stand by, now Yan Kyoto has been recovered! ”

Wang Faren said disdainfully: "You are really unqualified as the chief of the general staff, and you still hit Yanjing, how good is it for you to push to Heilongjiang at once?" Then march into Sichuan and divide the troops into Gansu, Shaanxi, and Qingning? The army marched into Xinjiang Province and Tibet Province? Where is your logistics? Where's your supplies? ”

Li Anmin immediately dissatisfied: "Aren't you raising the bar?" I'm talking about the attack on Yanjing, don't I, as the chief of the Imperial General Staff, know the supply situation of the troops? ”
