Heavy snow fell, and the first heavy snow in autumn in the northeast did not stop for three or four consecutive days. The original muddy road has been frozen hard, and the mountains, rivers and fields are all white.

Such heavy snowfall may be due to the fact that the battle was so fierce. Countless souls have given everything to change history once and for all. If there is love in the sky, the sky will also be old, and the heaven and the earth are white, and it is the same sorrow of the heaven and the earth. And this heavy snow has another meaning, the Jade Dragon is angry, it is to cover up all the traces left by the invaders in this land!

Outside the city of Jinzhou, thousands of Praetorian Guards, soldiers and soldiers of the Yi Army, lined up neatly. Lined up in a neat phalanx, there was only one tall standard-bearer, standing at the front of these thousands of tigers, and the Canglong flag was even. The snow flakes are weaving, and in the wind, the dragon that has fought thousands of miles is silently floating like a living thing, showing all the sacrifices and pride condensed by this banner!

Everyone was waiting, and even the hundreds of officers and soldiers who were standing solemnly at the gate of Jinzhou City were about to carry out the surrender ceremony. Today's protagonists are not them. Today's protagonist can only be one person, that is, Xu Yifan, who finally decided this war!

I have to say that I love face more than the Chinese to some extent. If you surrender, you will surrender, and you have to have a ceremony to hand over the saber in your hand with the dignity of a samurai. I'm afraid that the whole world won't know that they have been beaten like black-eyed chickens. Since they are willing to die, Xu Yifan is naturally willing to bury them. In the past two days, while mobilizing troops to take over the defense of Jinzhou Lushun Pass, we have generously met their demands. The remnants of the defeated troops who withdrew one after another were concentrated in Jinzhou, and Dashanyan also hoped that when the weather was cold, the surrendered troops of the Yue army would also gather in Jinzhou, and they would not go to the field to suffer from the cold, and they would wait for the peace talks between the two countries in Jinzhou and then repatriate to China. Anyway, the most important Lushun, Xu Yifan has already sent elite troops to take over the defense, thousands of people stay in the small Golden State, and then surrender the weapons, which means that they have locked themselves in the prisoner camp in the Golden State, which is not a problem - it is not that he doesn't want to drive these little devils into the wilderness, and they deserve to freeze to death. But now he needs to quickly settle the whole situation in southern Liaoning, and in order to avoid accidents, he pinched his nose and agreed to their request.

Xu Yifan, who everyone was waiting for, is now in the tent, wearing a brand new military uniform. Pu Yang and Chen De were sweating profusely holding a large mirror, and they didn't know where they found it. Xu Yifan looked left and right, and stuck out his tongue in the mirror with a V-shaped gesture, as if he was sticking to his head. Seeing Pu Yang and Chen De's chills. Everyone knows that the big handsome is in a good mood after winning the battle, but this is too good! With one person, he conquered Haidong and defeated the fierce enemy. It can be said that he is the first person in the Qing season for decades, but the handsome man is several times more powerful than in the past.

"Is Lao Tzu handsome? Is it considered a beautiful man? Xu Yifan still asked him two Goshha unsatisfactorily.

Chen De didn't dare to answer, Pu Yang was bolder: "Dashuai, don't delay it for too long, the big guys are waiting......"

Xu Yifan scolded with a smile: "You kid knows a fart!" The rest of the work is to put on a show, how can I do it if my image is not good? After finishing the work, I went to Liangjiang with Lao Tzu...... By the way, Lord Belle, why don't you go home and take a look? ”

"Home?" Pu Yang's expression was in a trance, Rong Ma Jinji hadn't written a letter to his sister for half a year, and he didn't know what his sister's worries had become...... He asked tentatively, "Dashuai, do you have a vacation?" ”

"Nonsense, I'm ready to rest for a while, you all go back and rest and rest......"

has been following Xu Yifan for almost two years, Pu Yang, as the most intimate Goshha, has been following Xu Yifan everywhere, and Xu Yifan has really never stopped. Listening to the word rest, it really feels strange.

"Aren't there still devils in Shandong?"

"I don't have to fight, if the devils can still support themselves at this point, then they wear underwear all over the country...... The next is the peace talks, and then the big guys go back to their own homes, find their own mothers, and have to calm down for a while. When it comes to peace talks, Lao Tzu doesn't get involved. ”

Xu Yifan summarized lightly. The joy of victory is only a matter of moments. After two years, I have been focusing on this war, struggling, struggling, and racing against time. In the course of the war, he used all his intellectual energy, courage and determination to fight to the death against such a vicious enemy. He's really feeling a little exhausted right now. I didn't want to care about anything for a while.

When the news of the great victory in southern Liaoning came back, one can imagine how huge the entire Qing Dynasty should have been shaken. All kinds of forces have a new round of planning, countermeasures, and reshuffle. Many things, he should start now, arrange, prepare, plan, and wait for the last moment of reverse. But now I am a little lazy and can't lift my spirits, and others are busy taking over Jinzhou Lushun and dealing with various matters, and the strings are tight. He was in a daze all day long. Fortunately, his subordinates all knew that this handsome man would have a convulsion, so they simply went their separate ways.

Exhaustion is one thing, and another thing, but he has come to such a point that the tide that can no longer be suppressed. The handling of many things and the maneuvering of many forces no longer need him to do it himself. Naturally, someone will come to take refuge, and someone will plan for him. But when I asked about my heart, I felt that the future road would probably never be like this national war, which made people feel justified and had no regrets. After half a year of war, so many heroic heroes resolutely died without regrets. And in the future, this road of reverse seizure is indispensable for conspiracy and power tricks, which is really boring. Some of the plans in his heart, dreaming back at midnight, will make him suddenly wake up and sweat.

But this road has to go on, and there is no turning back at this point.

Looking at Pu Yang and Chen De, who were excited and excited, and couldn't wait to rush out immediately to see the surrender scene, Xu Yifan sighed in his heart: "Life is really lonely like snow......"

The sound of a report sounded outside the tent, and then I saw the tent curtain lifted, Li Yunzong strode in, and made a military salute with a straight face: "Marshal, it's time to go out and surrender." ”

Xu Yifan smiled, and all the indecent looks were clean: "I know, let's go, this is all for the world to see......"

"This is what the marshal deserves." Li Yunzong remained silent and said lightly.

Xu Yifan pointed to the sky: "This is what they deserve, they are watching it from the clouds." I'm just fortunate enough to be their representative in the world...... Yunzong, if in the future, I no longer walk upright, will they be disappointed? ”

He didn't wait for Li Yunzong to answer, patted him on the shoulder, smiled and walked out. As soon as he got out of the tent, the cold snowflakes hit his face, which made Xu Yifan's spirits lifted, and he shouted: "Horse! ”

Goshha had already led the healthy horse over, Xu Yifan turned over and got on the horse, regardless of whether the people behind him followed or not, urged the horse to step on the ice and splash the snow, and galloped forward. Li Yunzong, Pu Yang and others got on their horses one after another to follow, and dozens of horses flew like they stirred up the snow and mist, galloping straight towards the phalanx of thousands of officers and soldiers standing solemnly.

The eyes of thousands of people moved over, and even the dozens of military representatives outside the gate of Jinzhou City not far away, all of them dismounted and bowed their heads. And the entourage who followed Xu Yifan had already held the reins when the horse team galloped to the left of the phalanx.

Today, the focus of all eyes is on him! No one can take away the glory of Xu Yifan!

Xu Yifan's war horse did not slow down at all, and galloped through the front of the phalanx as if flying, the healthy horse under his crotch snorted and snorted, and his mane was flying. He seems to be the only one in the world. He galloped to the end of the line, turned back, and back and forth, and grabbed the reins fiercely. The war horse that ran away with the surname neighed tall and stood tall, the hind hooves were staggered, and the non-slip horsepaw with iron teeth was knocked on the ice, and there was a loud sound!

Everyone held their breath, and the tall standard-bearer at the front of the team strode forward until Xu Yifan's side, the Canglong flag was hanging above Xu Yifan's head, and in the wind and snow, Xu Yifan gently stroked the corner of the flag, and turned his head to look at the representative of the army who was standing with his head down with great contempt.

"Hooray!" The first cheers erupted in the depths of the phalanx, followed by one after another, and finally converged into one place: "Hurray!" Banzai! Banzai! ”

The huge whistling sound made the sky roll up and the snowflakes drifted in all directions. The stronger the wind became, the military flag was fully unfolded above Xu Yifan's head, the horns of the flag fluttered, and the hunt was like the sound of gold and stone.

This dragon once slept, but under the blood of countless heroic souls, this blue dragon stretched its claws and teeth again and opened its eyes!

Dashan Yan sighed, looked back left and right, and gently took off the ancestral saber. walked forward until he walked in front of Xu Yifan, and Xu Yifan always looked at him with extremely contemptuous eyes.

He finally put an end to the nightmare of blood and fire in the next fifty years in his own hands. And in the years to come, he will tear apart the layers of darkness that shrouded this land with his own hands. He can't and can't escape this responsibility. On the lead-gray clouds, there were countless heroic souls tumbling, looking at him all the time. Perhaps it was the gods of the Chinese ancestors who gave him such an opportunity with a desolate sigh while reading the history he had experienced. No matter how heavy this responsibility is, how difficult the road ahead is, no matter what sacrifices he will make, whether it is someone else's or his own, he can no longer stop and have nowhere to escape.

The real change of history began from this first day of war!

On October 20, the fourth year of A.D., it was said that more than 7,000 remnants of the Second Army of the Qing Dynasty were surrendered to Jinzhou Lushun.

At the same time, Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi issued a letter to the Qing Prime Minister's National Affairs Yamen, asking for peace with the war. He also sent notes to Britain, France, Germany, Russia and other countries requesting mediation. He also ordered the Third Army to shrink in Weihai, and promised to withdraw on its own initiative.

When the news broke, the whole country went wild. The name of Haidong Xu Shuai, the power of China.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

"My lord, the commander-in-chief of the training army stationed in Zhili, the Beiyang Lack of Roads, the Alternate Roads, the Aftermath Bureau, the Camp Office, the Machinery Bureau, the Lijin Bureau, the Baojia Bureau, the Qingzhang Bureau, the various public offices, the Yamen, and the consuls of Britain, France, Russia and the United States in Tianjin...... Come and ask for a meeting. ”

The porter read the list of people who had come to pray in the number book, and he almost lost his breath. Some time ago, Tang Shaoyi and Zhang Peilun were still deserted in Tianjin, and not many people came to the door, and the news that Xu Yifan had decided the overall situation in southern Liaoning came over. First, the big guy lost his ability to react for a short period of time, and then he flocked to Tang Shaoyi and Zhang Peilun like crazy.

Xu Yifan's position is unshakable, and it is difficult to say where he will go in the future. In any case, now that there is a shortage of talents in his own system, he can also have so many positions to satisfy the world governor of the serving figures, and he is the only one. If you are a little more shallow-minded, you come to worship the door, but you are just asking for a job. Those who think a little deeper, but they may not have the heart of the dragon.

In the past few decades, although the Qing Dynasty has barely survived, it is still rotating in a stagnant manner with its customary surname. But you don't know that this will not last long. There has to be change, and there has to be change. But the world is so big, who knows how to change and where to change?

Xu Yifan's strength makes people seem to see a way out. Now, with his prestige, the court took the initiative to clean him up, with no excuse and no ability. If he runs in Liangjiang and can create the miracle of his two-year operation in North Korea, it is really difficult to say what the future holds.

Since Li Hongzhang went to Beiyang, all kinds of people have been in a panic. At this time, after watching and watching, it seems that I finally saw clearly. If this group wants to be maintained, only by hugging Xu Yifan's thick legs will it not be eaten by the imperial court.

After listening to the concierge read the list, Tang Shaoyi and Zhang Peilun glanced at each other and laughed.

Zhang Peilun smiled and waved his hand: "Everyone who came replied to the post, and they will block the car today." Let's just say that Shaochuan and I will worship them back...... We're not collecting rags, anyone can want it? What did you do in the first place? ”

Tang Shaoyi wiped his sweat, and when the news of Xu Yifan's victory came, he was always in this fiery state: "Handsome...... Dashuai is really a celestial! Who would have thought that he would be able to beat the little devil to surrender in one go? Everyone thought that he would be perfunctory to protect himself, but the handsome man announced the world with this earth-shattering victory! Such a mind, such a bearing, such a skill...... In 500 years, there will be a king! ”

In the past, Tang Shaoyi would never say such a thing, and at this time, his mood was agitated, and he slapped the table and shouted. Zhang Peilun was cautious and waved his hand to let the porter retreat.

"The handsome ability has been seen all over the world. What is rare is this responsibility to take the world as its own responsibility! If there is no such responsibility, the handsome man will be just a middle hall in the future. And now ......"

He smiled and closed his mouth, but Tang Shaoyi continued his words and said: "I am in China, sinking into the last days, how can no one rise up!" It's time for this immortal story to come to an end...... In response to the fate of Tianjing, this is a handsome spell with one hand! Whoever has eyes, will see! ”

Zhang Peilun waved his hand: "Shaochuan, the road is still long...... A big victory is certainly shocking, but it is still too early to really pry the world...... Since we were on the same boat, we had to row down together. ”

The two were chatting about these somewhat rebellious words, and the porter hurried back to report: "My lord, Lord Sheng asks to see ......"

What is Sheng Xuanhuai's status in the minds of the two adults, the porter knows best, and when other people come to worship, they will go to the number book first, or meet or block the frame. Only Sheng Xuanhuai came, he has always entered the middle hall, I don't know what happened today, Sheng Xuanhuai came in a small sedan chair, but refused the porter to invite him to go straight into the middle hall and wait outside the second door.

Hearing the return, the two looked at each other again and jumped up in unison. Strode towards the outside of the second gate. As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw Sheng Xuanhuai with a small hat in green clothes and a reading atrium. When he saw the two of them come out, he smiled and slammed them to the ground.

Zhang Peilun grabbed his arm: "Xingsun, why are you late!" ”

"Luck is perfect, how can you not look around?" Sheng Xuanhuai replied with a smile.

Tang Shaoyi also grabbed his other arm: "Brother Xingsun, what else do you have to say at this time?" ”

"The words are false, the Beiyang family, and hundreds of capable talents are true. When it comes to business, the goods are the most important...... Shaochuan, Youqiao, this boat, is it for my brother to make room for me? ”

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

"Won? Is this a win-win? ”

In Yulan Hall, there was a dead silence. Guangxu pinched the fold and asked rhetorically. He sat there, his thin body seemed to be unable to hold his head, and he hung deeply.

Xu Yifan, no one can control it. All plans have come to naught.

Southern Liaoning won a great victory, and the news of this peace came. Compared with the bustle and madness of the people in the capital, the Summer Palace has become a mourning hall. Cixi had already killed two eunuchs for no reason, and she didn't watch the play anymore, and she didn't walk around, but she was just going around in the Le Shou Hall, and even Li Lianying didn't dare to go over and get involved.

Guangxu had no idea at all, just like a wooden man, he was in a daze for a long time, not eating or sleeping.

It is clearly written in the history books that the minister has reached the point where Xu Yifan has already conquered the world and his achievements are high. Either the court cleaned him up, or he became Cao Ying. Counting on him to be Guo Ziyi or Zeng Guofan, it is better to expect the sow to be able to go up the tree.

"This ...... What the hell is going on? Guangxu just muttered to himself.

"Your Majesty, we have to change the law! The ancestors have become a law, and they can no longer cope with the changes that have not been seen in 3,000 years, Xu Yifan has the strength, and we still have the heart of the world! As long as the emperor works hard to cheer up and refresh politics, Xu Yifan can only shrink in Liangjiang, just to protect himself and be rich! ”

Wen Ting, who was kneeling in front of Guangxu, slammed his head and replied loudly.

"Daoxi, you were so sure last time...... Guangxu muttered in a low voice, still looking like a master of the six gods.

"Your Majesty, you believe in the ministers again, the hurdle of the monarch and the minister, Xu Thief is not so easy to cross, his foundation is weak, to make this foundation worthy of his current prestige and achievements, let alone three or five years of hard work. These three or five years are our last chance! The ancestors became the law, and it is no longer reliable. What Xu Yifan relied on to win the merit and people's hearts, we can also do the same! Your Majesty, this is the time when people's minds change, as long as we take the initiative to change, the hearts of the people in the world are still on the emperor's side! We can't afford to fall behind the Xu thief anymore! ”

"Change? How to change? Where is it going? Who's going to change? Guangxu's head still couldn't be lifted.

"Teacher Weng's Tan Sitong! This son is loyal and righteous, and his surname is unparalleled, and he was once Xu Yifan's mastermind, and Xu Yifan's tricks and skills are well known to this son. There is also the hope of clearing the stream in the field, using this son to change the law and collect the hearts of the world's soldiers, which is the opportunity for the survival of the country! ”

"Can it be done?" Guangxu asked in a trembling voice.

"How not!" Wen Ting's voice became louder and louder, and at this time, he could no longer reveal the slightest weakness.

"Your Majesty, go to the beetle inside, deter the thief outside, the Holy Monarch is on the throne, and the world is prosperous, there is only one chance! Could it be that the emperor wants to be like the story of Chongzhen during the Jiashen period, but he is afraid that at that time, there will be no coal mountain! The emperor, even Li Lianying confided in the queen mother to the minister, saying that now Lafayette fully supports the emperor, and there is no more ambition to make trouble. Everyone is in the same boat...... If you don't believe it, the emperor can ask the queen mother in person! ”

Hearing Cixi's support, Guangxu suddenly had a little courage. stood up and raised his eyebrows, but asked hesitantly, "Really?" ”

Cixi's voice suddenly sounded at the door: "Why isn't it true?" ”

The old woman walked in the Summer Palace, always hugging each other, and Xuanhe was amazing. At this time today, Cixi only brought a few three or two eunuchs and palace maids to Yulan Hall in person!

Cixi's eyebrows were furrowed tightly, and she looked at Guangxu with a kind face. Guangxu had already knelt down with a plop: "My father, my son is not filial, this state affair is ......"

Cixi walked over, and naturally a eunuch stepped forward to help Guangxu up: "Silly boy, we are still a family after all...... Now I don't point at you, who else? You can do it. Wen Ting-style, I see that what he said is still true...... Change, then change...... What else could it be? Let's not go to the coal mountain to hang ourselves together in the future! You let it go, I don't care! ”

Under Cixi's prestige, Guangxu was still a little trembling when he spoke: "Then let that Tan Si try it together?" Reward him with the title of fourth-grade Jingqing, try it first to have ......"

"We are competing with Xu Yifan for people's hearts! Horse bones still need to be bought for a thousand dollars! If you want to give, you will give it to the ministry, hang the title of squire, and the military aircraft can also learn to walk! This pair said that the peace talks, just to practice their hands, the third of the world raised the head, Tan Sitong Counselor, this skill can no longer be given to Xu Yifan......" Cixi raised her eyebrows, and the price was higher: "Your Majesty, I am old, so I will point to Rongyang, and we must not let our mother and mother make a fuss without ending up......"

Speaking of which, the old woman was already in a poignant tone.

Cixi has given Guangxu the greatest support in this way. But I don't know why, Guangxu still feels that God is not guarding, and he hesitates to look around, only to feel that everything in this Yulan Hall is so gloomy, as if this palace room has become a coffin, until everyone is overwhelmed!

(To be continued)
