The situation has changed to the present, and it is still necessary to get by. I have to say that people's original surname is easy to deceive themselves. Xu Yifan hibernated Jiang Ning, although his mouth was still the same big, he was still so unruly. But this master didn't immediately raise troops to Yanjing City, did he?

One south and one north, Xu Yifan's two-way army has become a cross-horse and a bow towards the heart of Zhili. Everyone in the capital knows that the situation is actually extremely bad. But at this time, if people still believe that the imperial court has a way - if they don't believe this, do they resolutely believe that Xu Yifan will soon enter Yanjing City, take the bird position of the Forbidden City, and cut off the bird head of the big guy? Or it is doubly profligated, and the things that the family is going to take as heirlooms are sent to the pawnshop for nothing, and the pawn tickets are then charged to the charge shop, and the tickets can be sold to those who play small drums to collect tickets. changed hands three times and twice, and the belongings became the food of the teahouse tavern.

During the period when the First Sino-Japanese War ended, the market in the capital that had been bleak for a while, after turning over the New Year, doubled its prosperity and liveliness. Carriages and sedan chairs come and go. The recent changes in the capital have also added countless talking points to the adults and ordinary people.

Those who are officials are discussing the first major event carried out by the imperial court to the present, the official personnel reform presided over by Tan Sitong! Overnight, more than a dozen yamen were abolished, and the seal of the new prime minister's yamen was pasted on the door of the yamen! Hundreds of idle officials with mixed qualifications, and the prime minister's yamen all entered the temporary dispatch yamen, although the salary was a lot. But that's easy to take! In normal times, these idle officials go to draw four or five times a month, anyway, the bookstore will draw them for you every month, and the rest of the time you don't care what the fuck do.

When you arrive at the temporary dispatch yamen, according to the words of the second emperor Tan Sitong, you have to lift your spirits, so that the court can see that you are a promising person and have something to use. I draw it in the morning, and I have to draw it once in the evening. Detention in the yamen, a group of unlucky officials stared at each other, those who are not addicted are fine, those who are addicted, they work so hard during the day, just swallowing bubbles will cost three or four percent more to pick up the fee! This kind of temporary dispatch officer is not even qualified to be a donor official guarantor, and he can't get the money printed every month, which is really very painful. If it weren't for Tan Si's current power in the north, just these hundreds of disgruntled Manchu and Han officials would be able to turn the sky upside down!

When you are a common person, you don't feel much about the prosperity and decline of officialdom. However, I am very interested in training the new army. It's a big buzz! The regiments from the twenty-two counties, when the troops were raised, there were large groups of people in the capital who poured out to watch the excitement. When picking troops, the flower heads of each county are different, Fangshan County picks soldiers, the cold weather in the early winter and early spring, thousands of strong young men drank cinnabar rune water, stood there with a bare backbone, and took the lead forty or fifty pairs of people, each performing their own skills, shotguns hit the belly, steel knives cut the back, silver guns pierced the throat, that ability! The new prime minister, Yamen, who followed Tan Sitong to pick up troops, and the old man Xu Tong, the assistant prime minister, danced happily. Call the Divine Soldiers!

Jinghai County picked up troops, and the end did not merge into a big altar, and dozens of incense altars gathered together. Before the soldiers were picked, they started a fight! Swords, guns, sticks, and iron rulers fluttered wildly, and even muskets were fired a few times, and the dog's brain was shot out. If it weren't for Tan Sitong's soldiers who were pressed on the spot, I don't know what jokes would have come out.

More than a dozen counties were picked down, and the big guys also watched a lot of lively scenes. There are also more mantras on the lips of those senior brothers in the capital. Although it is expressly forbidden to raise altars in the capital, there are already characters with coiled hair and wide red belts swaggering past on the street. The day we settle accounts! ”

The second emperor, Tan Sitong, didn't say anything, picking troops from county to county. It's just that when they arrived in Yanqing County, the big guys were all bright-eyed, Yanqing County was not as fancy and lively as other counties, and the three thousand strong young men who were really fighting entered the school field in a row, standing in the school field, no one coughed, no one made a sound. The leader with a big stick walked through the line, his eyes were very unkind, and if anyone was wrong, the stick could be knocked down. Although in the eyes of the generals led by Tan Sitong, this team is still crooked, and it is not the same, and the posture of standing is also different. But it is already a rare weather in the twenty-two counties around the capital!

Tan Sitong also showed a little smile for the first time in the process of picking up troops, and nodded slowly. Watching the lively people and some officials who accompanied Tan Sitong showed boring expressions, no one climbed on the high pole, no one performed invulnerability, no big girl and little daughter-in-law in red clothes carried baskets and sang screams, which altar is this in Yanqing County?

It only took ten days to pick up troops, and the twenty-two counties of Yanjing City have roughly settled. When the news came out, 30,000 people from 22 counties were selected to enter the camp, but there was not even a shadow of the one county and one association that was rumored at the beginning. The soldiers selected from each county were mostly five or six battalions, and the few were only two or three battalions, and they were all scattered and distributed into the army system brought by Liu Kunyi. The general name is called the New Armament Replenishment Battalion, and after a month's first reading, a lot of them will be eliminated, and it is really hard to say how much will be left in the end!

In the future, the troops will be picked up, and gradually expanded from Yanjing City to the outside, and they will also be handled in accordance with this as a whole, the dream of the senior brothers, the calculation behind the Xiangjiao, Tan Si will smash it with the same move!

The only exception is that the senior brother Liu in Yanqing County won the lottery, and when he picked up the army, he entered Tan Sitong's eyes, and asked two sentences, which was also very right Tan Sitong's appetite, it is said that Yanqing County wants to read the ability to become a standard, if you can pass the first reading, then Senior Brother Liu is an out-and-out new military standard, and the official rank is indispensable to a general soldier, no one has thought that so many senior brothers in the local area are to let a Kangzhuang come out of the road to get ahead!

The official system has been reformed, whether you are happy or not, anyway, this is the case now, and for a while, everyone's arms can't twist their thighs. The training of the new army, which has been shouted for a long time, has finally begun. Carefully counting his fingers, changing the official system, Tan Sitong has already been the prime minister of the new Prime Minister's Yamen Office - the actual teaching can also be seen. In the training of the new army, every soldier and soldier has passed through his hands, and no matter whether it is new or old, it is all at his disposal. At the beginning, the second emperor was expelled from Beijing and went home to control his studies, but no one expected that after several turns, he would actually come to a position below this person and above ten thousand people!

This wrist, compared to his sworn brother in the south, is not far behind.

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. What's more, Tan Sitong, a character who doesn't have much foundation in the capital, and has too many small tails to make people pull? In the capital, whether it is officialdom or the people, all kinds of discussions are ups and downs, and behind him there are yin and yang fluttering. Some are angry and angry, some are dark and angry, and some are unpredictable. But Tan Sitong didn't seem to hear it, just walked straight, couldn't sleep for three or two hours a day, and was busy with the things at hand that could never be finished. It can be seen that he quickly became haggard, but his back was still straight.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ in the Guangsheng Hutong in the south of the capital, there is a small courtyard, which is a Wenting-style mansion. He was born in the Han Dynasty, and he couldn't afford to buy a house in the capital, so he lived in a rented guild house. Guangxu Tete was not far from the Summer Palace, and rewarded him with a clean house, from furniture to employment, all expenses should be paid, all Guangxu accounts.

It's just that in these days, Wen Tingshi rarely goes back to his mansion, either in the garden, or he doesn't know where to go to visit guests to talk about things, and he is too busy to get on the ground. Two days ago, it was said that he went to Tianjin again, and no one knew what he was doing in Tianjin.

It is rare for him to come back today, but he has not returned to the inner house, until he sees a guest in the study, and the servants are not allowed to come near his study.

"Nanhai, don't be so breathless! What can be done just by looking at the present? There is something, I can hold it in my heart, the emperor knows me, and he also knows you. Since Jane is in the Sacred Heart, what else is there to worry about? ”

Wen Tingshi's face was slightly dusty, but his spirit was very good, he sat down on the recliner, in the cold weather, he opened the fan and closed it, looking like a suave Hanlin.

Kang Youwei was born black and thin, and his journey was not smooth, which also has something to do with this appearance. In him, he couldn't see the graceful and elegant minister's bearing. At this time, he doubled his gloom, and sat next to the desk and just said coldly: "Daoxi, it is Your Excellency who is in the heart of the emperor, not me!" I regret that I didn't care about it at the beginning, but I just followed him back to life and paved the way for him! Now that he is regarded as a figure of his party, in the capital, I am not treated everywhere, and I really haven't used it in the hands of resurrection! Seeing that the resurrection is now in power, but I am anxious for him, so I don't know where I am discouraged! ”

Wen Tingshi smiled: "Yes, aren't we all worried about him?" It is the emperor who uses him, and everything he does must be for the sake of the emperor, which is fundamental and cannot be wrong. Once you go astray, there really won't be a good end to resurrection! We act as a gentleman, and we love others with virtue, and if we know about resurrection, we should also be grateful............ Nanhai, you are running around, what do you think of the resurrection? ”

Kang Youwei just smiled coldly: "What else is there to hear!" The second emperor has the title of being on his head, and he can't shake it anymore. The dismissed officials were full of resentment, and they scolded me, saying that I was doing a job for the resurrection, and I could only listen, and they all shook their heads, saying that the resurrection and the imperial party actually did the same thing............"

Wen Tingshi shook his head categorically: "............ What's so good about these? Scholars are useless, and they can't change the current situation in their lifetime! I'm asking about the flag men, and the two ends of the new army! The banner man can speak, and he has great power. The new army is the only one with a gun in the capital now, and we can't get along, so you can talk in the meantime............ How did these two heads react? ”

Kang Youwei shook his head slowly: "............ As a resurrection, he has tried his best to take care of the flag man............ The princes and ministers of the banner people, even if they are worried about resurrection, will still attack them in the end, but how can these glass eggs go to the garden to touch this matter now! It's hard to get up to this trend............ If you want them to speak, you can't do it without money, where do we get the money? ”

Wen Tingshi smiled: "Don't worry about money, I went to Tianjin for this............ I only have one sentence, can I make the flag people make trouble? ”

"How not?" Kang Youwei was in good spirits.

“………… The princes and ministers were afraid that once the military power was firmly established, they would attack them, seize their fortunes, and remove their positions. It is rumored that now we have also been released through those officials who have entered the temporary dispatch yamen, and the military salaries for the resurrection and training of the soldiers are all supported by the banner man Yueyin! In order to train the new army, it is about to stop the hardcore crops of the flag man for more than 200 years! As long as some princes and ministers take the lead and rise up, the banner people of the capital will rise violently. The spearhead is all about to be pointed at Tan Fusheng! When the time comes, we have a lot to do in the middle!

"But there are soldiers in the hands of the resurrection............ I'm in a hurry, aren't you afraid that he will become another Xu Yifan? ”

This time, it became a Wenting-style cold search for the loopholes in Kang Youwei's words.

"Bing............ Haha, Dawhi, aren't you looking for me because I'm still useful in the new army? Fusheng picked up troops this time, and completely broke up the people's strong regiment, and there were 3,000 people, and he only collected 500. On the other side of the new army, can you have any ideas? I can assure you of this that the current resurrection seems to have tight control over the new army, and if something happens, the new army will inevitably make a noise and disobey his command! With two ends and one force, can you still come back from power? ”

The two looked at each other coldly, and they both turned their faces away. To be honest, both of them don't look at each other very well.

Wen Tingshi's self-righteous temperament, Weng Tongyi's identity as a disciple of the sect, Guangxu's most trusted position. All made Kang Youwei jealous of pantothenic acid. But at this time, if he doesn't rely on Wen Tingshi, who else can he rely on?

For Kang Youwei, his snarky energy, his brazenness, and his unscrupulous actions in order to get ahead also made Wen Tingshi look down on him. But if you want to get Tan Sitong, Kang Youwei knows Tan Sitong's inside story very well, and if he doesn't unite with him, he has no other choice.

Standing behind these two people was the thin figure of the Holy Emperor Guangxu.

The topic between the two just now has actually been discussed countless times between the two. The whole plan is that Hou Dang and Tan Sitong will fight these two ends! Let the entire Qing Dynasty become the world of their post-party!

After the party came to force Tan Sitong to step down, Kang Youwei's internal means of winning over the New Army were of course indispensable. Once the tide of the imperial party's clamor rises, and they rush Tan Si to go down with them, seize the military power, and turn around to enter Yanjing City, subdue the Hou Party by force, and drive them all down! Last year, Li Hongzhang went to Beijing to catch up with Guangxu's resignation of the coup, and they wanted to do it as it was! Cixi will be completely ousted from power, and Guangxu will really hold all the power!

Wenting-style self-confidence, once this is the case, Qingliu is upright, the military power is in hand, and Xu Yifan is just there, what is the way?

This plan is linked to a link. If the trend of the Houdang and the millions of bannermen in Yanjing City does not rise, it will be difficult for Tan Sitong to step down. If Tan Sitong does not step down, the military power cannot take advantage of the chaos in his hands. If the military power is not in the hands of the people, there will be no way to enter Yanjing City to launch a coup d'état, and there will be no way for them to control the imperial party and the power of the entire imperial court!

To what extent the Great Qing Dynasty has declined, both of them actually know it in their hearts. Tossing such a trip again, how Xu Yifan will take advantage of the chaos is something that cannot be thought about. Tan Sitong was struggling to support, haggard and insincere, both of them saw it in their eyes. It is also conceivable how much turmoil the new army has brought about when the new army has not been trained too much, mainly by the people. But all this, compared to letting their party really hold power, is nothing?

Wen Tingshi didn't speak, just took out a stack of pieces of paper from his arms, put them on the coffee table, and gently flattened them. Kang Youwei looked at it and said in surprise: "Daoxi, where did you come from?" ”

On the coffee table, the top of the stack of pieces of paper is a silver ticket of 10,000 taels issued by Siheng Yinhao!

Wen Tingshi said softly: "......... This is 300,000, it has been checked, and the real ticket ............" he looked at Nunu to the south: "...... Most likely, it's from the south. ”

Kang Youwei stood up suddenly: "The one in the south, is he so afraid of resurrection? At this time, his heart was full of vinegar. Xu Yifan scolded him Kang Youwei, which made him complacent for a while, but now, Xu Yifan in the south took out 300,000 taels of real money and silver to buy Tan Sitong's downfall!

"You dare to take it too! How did you get on the head? ”

Wen Tingshi smiled faintly: "If you want to do great things, you can't do it without money." But the emperor, you know, there is no hope of taking a large sum of money............ The outer dynasty is now in the hands of Tan Sitong, and the money in the garden is also Lafayette's. Aren't we all worried about this? Two days ago, I vaguely heard a rumor that someone in Tianjin was spilling money, and anyone who dared to say that Tan Sitong was not would have an allowance. I thought, let others take this money, it is better for me to take it, so I went to Tianjin............ Guess who I saw last? ”

Kang Youwei shook his head slowly.

"Sheng Xingsun ............"

"He's so bold!"

Wen Tingshi said with a smile: "Tianjin City is half of Sheng Xingsun's hometown, and he is squatting in the concession, who can move him?" Looking for someone to pimp, we met, I said cheerfully, if you want to be resurrected and fall, it is better to give me the money! Do you Sheng Xuanhuai dare to enter Yanjing City? Xingsun was also refreshing, and immediately took out her waist to me, saying that it was a business anyway, and it was not the same for whom? ”

Kang Youwei only felt that there was a trace of cold sweat on his back, and then looked at Wen Tingshi, who was known as Guangxu's No. 1 hardcore henchman, he was still there smiling freely. took Xu Yifan's money and went to Tan Sitong, the mainstay of Yanjing City. Are they contributing to the Guangxu Holy Monarch?

This doubt is dispelled in the blink of an eye. Fuck it, power matters. Even if there is a change of dynasty and a high position of power, it can be sold at a better price, right? Even if Guangxu knew, eighty percent didn't care. In the mind of this Holy Monarch, nothing is more important than his true power! Guangxu he is convinced, at least their imperial party is also convinced in the face, once the holy monarch really takes power, don't have a Lafayette in it to hinder him, and there is a second emperor Tan Sitong outside, and the Qing Dynasty is like the Meiji Zhongxing, which is a sure thing!

What if Resurrection knew? Knowing that his brother took out 300,000 taels to buy him out of power and buy the ideal that he put his surname to practice, what would he do?

Kang Youwei suddenly had such a thought in his heart, and then scolded in his heart: "It's my business!" ”

Wen Tingshi smiled freely there, picked up the stack of silver tickets on the table, and put them in his arms: "The prince and minister, I came to find the door to stuff it, three thousand taels for them to scold the street, ten thousand taels for folding, and twenty thousand taels into the Summer Palace to kowtow and cry!" Whether it is resurrection or Xu Yifan's gaining power, they have no hope for that little bit of money, if they don't take advantage of this time to hug a little more, what will they do in the future? Nanhai, temporarily send the yamen, don't run away with these words, I'll come, let them amplify the wind a little! I'm going to subsidize them............... But the South China Sea, the new army, the Xiangjiao side, no matter what, we have to hold him in our hands! You must not talk more than you do! ”

Kang Youwei's face turned red, and Huo stood up. looked at Wen Tingshi fiercely, but Wen Tingshi looked back faintly and quietly. Kang Youwei wanted to say something, his lips trembled for a long time, and finally he just stomped his foot fiercely: "Daoxi, you just look at it!" ”
