Chapter 81: Xu Yongyi's panic
Except for the commander of the present and the commander of Russia, the other commanders of the countries could not help but change their faces greatly, as if they had returned to the night that made them shudder, and when they thought of this, they found that their hands, which had been almost fine, began to ache again.
Actually, it's purely psychological.
Wang Jundao's letter and this sharp arrow undoubtedly poured a scoop of real cold water on the commanders of various countries, and it was still that kind of cold and piercing cold water.
After a long time, Wadsey calmed down the fear in his heart, looked at the commanders of various countries, and said, "I think we should think about our situation now, you know, he is a satan, and he is also a madman. ”
Seymour agreed, and said coldly, "Oh, yes, maybe one day when we're sleeping, his arrow will go into our throats, and oh, and if we're not careful while we're walking on the road, his bullet will go into our heads...... Oh my God, I'm a little afraid to go out......"
Seymour's words made all the commanders feel a shock in their hearts, and the scene of the Russian commander Alekseev being shot in the forehead more than a month ago began to appear before their eyes again.
As the saying goes, the real face-to-face enemies are not terrible, what is terrible is those enemies that cannot really be faced, and now Wang Jundao has become an enemy that the commanders of various countries cannot see, because now they don't know that Wang Jundao has controlled everything in Yanjing, and they don't know that the person who defeated the coalition army is Wang Jundao, and they don't know that Wang Jundao is the archer who infiltrated the headquarters of the coalition army.
After a long while, when everyone returned to normal, Wadsey opened his mouth and guessed: "If my guess is correct, it should be him who defeated us in Yanjing, otherwise, I think it is impossible to defeat us with the ability of the Empress Dowager and Emperor of the Qing Dynasty." ”
The commanders of various countries deeply believed that before the outbreak of this war, they had already made the most rigorous assessment of the emperor, empress dowager and senior generals of the Great Qing Kingdom, knowing that these people were not their opponents, and the war in the past two months also showed everything, but the Qing political axe was not the opponent of the coalition army.
Thinking of this, everyone was afraid, and in the end, Yamaguchi Suchen couldn't stand it anymore, and asked in a deep voice: "Then you say, what should we do now?" According to what was said in the letter, apologize to the people of China, and compensate them 50 million taels of gold? Finally going back home? No offense for 20 years? ”
Wadsey glanced at Yamaguchi Suchen, threw the 'ball' to him, and said, "Since Commander Yamaguchi said it, then there must already be a way, so you might as well talk about it." ”
Yamaguchi Suchen said in a solemn voice: "My method is very simple, increase the troops, as long as we defeat the Chinese, then these conditions will be raised by us." ”
Wadsey sneered: "What about our ministers, our citizens in China, and the thousands of our soldiers who have been captured? ”
Yamaguchi Suchen snorted coldly and said, "In this war, more than 30,000 people were killed and wounded in various countries, compared to the 30,000 soldiers who died, what if there were 10,000 more deaths?" As long as we can defeat China, it's worth everything! ”
This time, Seymour retorted to Yamaguchi Suchen: "No, no, no, you say that you are too cold-blooded, you could have watched more than 10,000 people die, but we can't, they are all God's people, they are all noble, and they all have the right to live in the world, so we must do everything possible to save them!" ”
Yamaguchi Suchen stared at Seymour, knowing that this guy said it on purpose, he snorted coldly and said, "Then tell me, what should we do now?" ”
Seymour didn't have a good idea, so he quickly shook his head and said, "Oh, I don't know ...... either"
At this time, the American commander Sha Fei proposed: "I think the most important thing we need to do now is to send envoys to Yanjing, ask them to postpone the deadline, delay them as much as possible, do not let them kill our ministers and soldiers, and do not let them attack us, and we will send an order back to China as soon as possible to tell the mainland what we are encountering, because this is no longer an ordinary war, and it is not something we can control." ”
Sha Fei's proposal was accepted by the majority of the commanders, and eventually Wadsey adopted his advice and decided to send an envoy to Yanjing on the go.
Wang Jundao, who was in Yanjing, naturally didn't know the plans of the commanders of various countries, at this time he had completely stabilized the situation in Yanjing, and the panic on the street because of the war had also subsided, and because Lin Heier's propaganda was in place, a frenzy of cutting braids was set off on the street.
Looking at the vibrant Yanjing City, Wang Jundao only felt full of a sense of accomplishment, if it weren't for his bizarre arrival, today's Yanjing City would have become a hell on earth that was blocked by corpses and full of devastation.
Lei Ba and Han Muxia followed closely by Wang Jundao's side, and Wang Jundao couldn't help but ask: "I forgot to ask you, how was the fight between the two of you and Yin Fu and Gong Baotian last time?" ”
Lei Ba and Han Muxia said in unison: "The victory is not scored. ”
Then, Han Muxia said again: "Commander, I have a request. ”
Wang Jundao couldn't help but smile and said, "You want me to release Yin Fu and Gong Baotian, right?" ”
"Yes!"
Han Muxia nodded and said truthfully: "Actually, they are not really loyal to Cixi and Guangxu, they just accept the benefits of Cixi and Guangxu and do their duty." ”
"Don't worry, since I didn't order them to be killed, I won't kill them, and after a while, I will hand them over to Li Cunyi, they are fellow disciples." Wang Jundao said with a smile. Of course, he knew that Yin Fu and Gong Baotian did not have the idea of being loyal to Guangxu and Cixi, otherwise after the fall of the Qing Zheng Axe in history, Gong Baotian would not be Zhang Zuolin's martial arts instructor.
Han Muxia was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, commander." ”
At this time, Lei Ba asked, "Commander, where are we going?" ”
Wang Jundao said with a smile: "Go find someone to temporarily manage the Manchu military aircraft department for me." ”
Lei Ba didn't ask Wang Jundao who to go to, he knew that as long as he followed Wang Jundao.
Since Xu Yongyi was dismissed from his official position by Cixi, he was idle at home, but he was happy to enjoy the joy of family, raising flowers and plants, playing chess and drinking tea, writing and painting, listening to the piano and reading books.
Of course, due to the habits he has formed over the years, he has also been paying attention to the situation and development of Yanjing City.
He already knew everything Wang Jundao had done in Yanjing City, and he had been thinking about it for the past two days, why was the Qing Dynasty's rule over Yanjing for more than 200 years not worth Wang Jundao's control over Yanjing City for a few days?
Today's Yanjing City, even to the point where he only knows Wang Jundao and does not know the Qing Dynasty emperor, he feels that the current Wang Jundao, even if he ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, he is afraid that millions of people in Yanjing will only support it, but will not oppose it.
What is the reason for this?
Xu Yongyi couldn't figure it out.
Xu Yongyi is not a rigid person, if he can't figure it out, he doesn't want to, anyway, at his age, many things have already been seen, and it doesn't matter to him how Yanjing City develops.
At this time, he was sitting in the study thinking about the future of the Xu family, he was old, he had experienced so many things in his life, and he didn't want to do anything anymore, but he couldn't ignore the future of the Xu family.
He was thinking, should the Xu family be allowed to work for Wang Jundao?
Just when he frowned and weighed the pros and cons, the voice of the housekeeper Xu Zhong sounded outside the study: "Master, Commander Wang is here." ”
Xu Yongyi didn't react for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Who is Commander Wang?" ”
Xu Zhong said: "It is the commander of the king and the king who defeated the foreign soldiers. ”
Although Wang Jundao is still nominally the commander of the three armies, he has also become the commander-in-chief of the Dragon and Tiger Group Army, so the Dragon and Tiger Army calls him the commander, and under Lin Heier's unremitting publicity, the name of Wang Jundao and Commander Wang has also been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Xu Yongyi's heart was shocked when he heard this, his hand couldn't help shaking, he really wanted Cao Ying Cao Ying to arrive, he hurriedly stood up and said, "Quickly invite him to the living room, treat him well, I'll be there." ”
Xu Zhong looked at his master with some incredulity, it was the first time in all these years that he had seen Xu Yongyi in such a situation, even if Cixi and Guangxu had not seen him so overwhelmed.
Suppressing the shock in his heart, Xu Zhong said, "Commander Wang has already gone to the courtyard of the eldest young master. ”
"What?"
Xu Yongyi was taken aback and asked, "How did he know Zhengrong?" ”
Xu Zhong said: "Commander Wang and the eldest young master have known each other for a long time. ”
Xu Yongyi felt that he seemed to have a lot of things in the dark, and after muttering for a while, he said directly: "I have something to ask you, you push the door in, the door is not closed." ”
"Yes."
Xu Zhong replied, pushed the door and walked in, standing respectfully in front of Xu Yongyi's desk.
Xu Yongyi looked at Xu Zhong straight and asked nonchalantly, "Do you have a lot of things that you haven't told me?" ”
Xu Zhong said respectfully: "Yes, the eldest young master and the eldest lady won't let me say it, they said that it is rare for you to retire from a high position, you must recuperate well, you should not overwork, and you should not let the old slave talk to you about these things, the old slave felt that the young master and the young lady were right, so they didn't tell you." ”
"Confused!"
Xu Yongyi scolded, then softened his tone slightly, and asked, "Then tell me, what is the situation?" ”
"Yes!"
Xu Zhong replied respectfully, told the matter between Wang Jundao, Xu Zhengrong and Xu Luoyan, and also said that Xiao Yuyan lived in the west courtyard of Xu Mansion.
After hearing all this, Rao is Xu Yongyi has been through the ups and downs of officialdom for a long time, and he can't help but feel confused.
In the middle of the ring, he sorted out his thoughts and said: "You said so much, in fact, it is two points, Zheng Rong is already willing to serve Commander Wang, and Luo Yan is willing to marry Commander Wang, not only that, but she is also willing to serve with other women?" ”
Xu Zhong nodded and said, "Yes!" ”
Xu Yongyi couldn't help but sigh and said, "Providence is like this." ”
Xu Zhong asked puzzledly, "What do you mean, master?" ”
Xu Yongyi said: "God wants the Xu family to stand on Commander Wang's ship." ”
(ps: Thank you for your great evaluation...... )
