Fuzhou, Zhang Shouyan's residence.

"My lord, Yuan Baoheng from the Governor's Mansion is here to ask for a meeting." The concierge who came in had a straight waist, and this person was not only Zhang Shouyan's concierge entourage, but also one of Zhang Shouyan's bodyguards.

Zhang Shouyan was one of the few important figures in the civilian system of the Qin army, and his security work was mentioned to the first rank as early as after Liu Xian returned to Hanzhong from Xinjiang. There are more than a dozen guards around him, and their identities are different from those of the porter, entourage, etc., but the elder brother must have skills and marksmanship.

"Haha, Zuo Jinliang is afraid that he is going to regret it. Japan's battle is a battle to break the country! Zhang Shouyan's smile was full of confidence. The battle to break the country, and it is a non-subject country of Japan, and the honor is not comparable to Ping Changmao at all. Just like the excitement of Emperor Tongzhi, this is the Qing Dynasty's unprecedented military victory in 70 years since the Qianlong Dynasty!

"My lord, in addition to the battle to break the country, there are also a million taels of silver. This is the first time I have received compensation in more than 30 years in the Qing Dynasty. Chu Jun will lose a lot of money! The porter said with a smile. Although the Qin-Chu combined fleet was the key and backing for the success of the Qin army's attack on Japan, the limelight was all robbed by the Qin army. Naturally, public opinion also put all the credit on Qin Jun's head. These days, the cooks recruited by Zhang Shouyan go out to buy vegetables, fruits, fish and meat, and some people give them away for nothing without charging money.

It can be said that the greater the achievements and cheers of Liu Xian and Qin Jun now, the more remorse Zuo Zongtang will feel in his heart. Because he could have enjoyed this glory, this glory was already put in front of him, but he finally chose to push the glory out.

If you see a broken plastic bag covered with mud in front of you, you kick it away in disgust and kick it into the hands of a passer-by walking on the side, the plastic bag is rotten, but it is full of Grandpa Mao of Hongguoguo! How did you feel at that moment? Remorse or gritted teeth with hatred? You're crazy in the bottom of your heart, aren't you? At this moment, this is Zuo Zongtang's psychology.

"Let's go. Let's meet this Yuan Baoheng! With hearty laughter, Zhang Shouyan got up and walked towards the front hall. He is confident in today's meeting. Zuo Zongtang definitely wants to make up for the relationship between the two armies, so it is not impossible for the two armies to become enemies if they are as irresponsible as a pigeon. The storage of the shipmaster and sailor in the combined fleet is also not used at all!

Zhang Shouyan will take advantage of this opportunity to dig up a group of people from the shipmaster's sailors, which is something that Liu Xian has already sent a message to inform him. For Deng Shichang, Liu Buyun, Lin Taizeng, Lin Yongsheng, Ye Zuqi, Xu Shoushan, Huang Jianxun, Lin Guoxiang and a number of other talents, Liu Xianke has long coveted it.

……

The Forbidden City, Beijing.

Emperor Tongzhi is still playing happily, and he is very excited these days. On the day the Tianjin contract was signed, he even sued Taimiao.

The relationship between the Empress Dowager and Emperor Tongzhi has always been very good, and she is very indulgent to Emperor Tongzhi, and Emperor Tongzhi wants to play happily, so she goes with him. Niu Hulu is a very traditional Chinese woman.

And Emperor Tongzhi's mother-in-law, Empress Dowager Cixi, no longer criticizes Emperor Tongzhi's unmotivatedness. If her son wants to play, Cixi will be happy to let her son play hard, so that the power will return to her hands.

In the Xinuan Pavilion, in addition to the Tongzhi Emperor and the Empress Dowager of the Eastern Dynasty, the three last powerful people of the Qing Dynasty gathered here.

Empress Dowager Cixi of the West; Prince Gong Yi?; Prince Alcohol Yiyun.

The latter is still in power because Emperor Tongzhi is still on the throne, and his son has not been dropped on his head by the emperor's hat, and although he is now a prince, he is not hereditary. The power and prestige in the government and the opposition are far inferior to Prince Gong. Earlier, there were important things to discuss, and he was not qualified to sit on the table.

The reason why Cixi also recruited Prince Alcohol today is not because Prince Alcohol is her brother-in-law, nor because Prince Alcohol is a prince, but more because he is a representative of the main battle faction of the court. In the history of the original time and space, Prince Alcohol was xenophobic on the one hand, and because of his ranking, he was also resolutely the main battle. Both Ili and the Sino-French war crisis were on the side of the "main battle faction". At this time and space, when Liu Xian was fighting in Xinjiang, Prince Alcohol did indeed stand on the side of the main battle faction, and when Beijing bargained with Russia, it was also the Dagu Fort that Prince Alcohol went out of Beijing to inspect. Of course, Prince Gong at that time was not against the war.

[Here, I would like to solemnly thank the book friends and others for consuming more youth and white water wanderers. Your comments really gave me some inspiration. Although there are still some differences between us. But really thanks! 】

Liu Xian fought the two battles in Xinjiang and Vietnam completely cleanly, and the main fighting faction of the government and opposition in Beijing has also risen in momentum in recent years. Because of his foundation in the Beijing camp, Prince Alcohol can be regarded as a member of the military, and because he has always been tough on the outside world, he has naturally become the leader of the main battle faction.

However, this era is not the same as history, and Prince Alcohol has little contact with the bigwigs in the following places. Because of his conservative personality, he rejects Western studies and Western affairs. And the local governors with real power, the guns in their hands are really tough, almost seventy percent of them come from the Xianghuai Chu army, and all of them are Westerners. In the case of Liu Xian's outsourced world, they will hardly have a chance to trouble Prince Alcohol, and the dry hair wants to hold Prince Alcohol's thighs?

Then wouldn't Li Hongzhang directly save Cixi's thighs?

Therefore, Prince Alcohol's connections in the army are only limited to the Shenji Battalion and other armed forces in the Eight Banners in Beijing, not to mention that the military Manchurians still have the momentum of Duolong Afen, who can really fight.

In the case that Guangxu in the original time and space has no 'head and horns', Prince Alcohol is definitely going to fall? One level.

Today, Cixi invited the sixth and seventh uncles, and the matter to be discussed was how to arrange Liu Xian, who was about to return to China victoriously. First of all, in terms of title, Liu Xian's title is already a first-class Jingyi candidate, and at the age of thirty, do you want to crown him as the Duke of Jingyi?

Second, in the official position, a Guangxi admiral, a gimmick-like Nanyang admiral, is really not worthy of his credit. Liu Xian pricked his head again, and was born vulgar again, and it was inevitable to be promoted to the governor and even the governor. But although the imperial court is large, where is there a vacant space to place a governor and admiral?

And from the bottom of their hearts, the three of them were unwilling to arrange Liu Xian under their noses. The key places of Henan, Zhili, Shandong, Shanxi, and Shaanxi are not considered at all. Moreover, Shandong and Zhili are still the territory of the Huai army, and Shaanxi, Shanxi and Henan are also the territory of many armies. can't let go of a Liu Xian.

The northern provinces went, and then looked at the central and southern. The two rivers [Xianghuai], the two lakes [Xianghuai], the Sichuan [Xianghuai], the Yunnan-Guizhou [Xianghuai], and the Fujian and Zhejiang [Chu] are all the territories of the three armies of Xianghuai. If Beijing doesn't want to see its own army make an uncontrollable mess, they will never dare to put Liu Xian in these areas.

After thinking about it, there are only two places where Liu Xian can stay. But in the anointed land of Guangdong, the imperial court must not let go. Guangxi seems to be the only choice!

This 'only choice', even when Liu Xian himself pondered it, felt that this would put the hat of the governor of Guangxi on his head, and there would never be any more problems. But he definitely underestimated Prince Gong's suspicion.

"What does the sixth brother mean to set up a province in Taiwan and throw it to him? But will it ...... Let the heroes chill. Attracted the discussion of the government and the opposition? ”

Compared with Devil Six, Prince Alcohol is a kind person. When he came to the palace, he knew what he was going to discuss. All I was thinking about was how to install a few more loyal minions in Guangxi, and how to let Liu Xian's Qin army 'spread out the branches'. I never thought that the sixth brother would be so 'poisonous'!

What kind of province is Taiwan? The land is not more than the boundary of the government, and the number of people is less than a million. A Taiwan is not as good as a cheap state.

"Chilling?" Abundant? Smiled coldly. "Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun'en. The court rewarded, he dared to have resentment? ”

"Sixth Master. That can't be said. Our Qing Dynasty now relies on Hanchen Kuang to support the dynasty like Liu Xian, and we really can't chill the hearts of the people below. Cixi's suspicion of Liu Xian was far less important than that of Prince Gong. In her eyes, the strength of Xianghuai Chu Group is far stronger than Liu Xian, and it is really taboo to be taboo, and Xianghuai Chu should be taboo.

Her attitude towards Liu Xian has always been to respond to the Xianghuai Chu army. Judging from the development of the situation, Liu Xian and Xianghuai Group really don't have a good relationship. Even if the Huai army and the Qin army had a lot of contacts and cooperation, Liu Xian and Liu Mingchuan, the first general of the Huai army, had a good relationship, and they could not ease the fundamental antagonism.

The reason why she called Prince Alcohol today is to use Prince Alcohol to top Prince Gong. What is she right about? The building yì disagreed. Keyi? insisted on not giving in, Cixi was greatly threatened because of her son's pro-government last year, and she didn't dare to be unwilling to do it? entanglement.

Prince Alcohol really showed his own role. Cixi will not let this momentum fall any longer.

"The Queen Mother, the seventh brother, Liu Xian is different from Zuo Li, different from Liu Changyou and Liu Mingchuan, he is really unconvincing, not because of his vulgar background.

In just four years, he opened an iron factory, opened a military field, privately built a navy, privately encircled Vietnam, built a city and a port, and wrote about the railway, and even laid a telegraph between Qinzhou and Guangxi without the permission of the center. If you don't eliminate its head, can An be used by the current emperor?

Now that he is already pro-government, he will eventually have a pro-government appearance. The Queen Mother and the Seventh Brother, don't you hear about Li Shimin's deathbed depreciation of Li Ji in the past? Tang Taizong can still use this power technique, how can I not do it in the Qing Dynasty today? ”

Abundant? It's not that I really felt Liu Xian's objection. He just felt a danger from Liu Xian's wanton behavior, and Liu Xian himself was a famous general who often won a hundred battles.

Wuchen, whether in history or in modern Chinese history, is always more likely to be tabooed by the higher authorities than Wenchen.

Cixi and Prince Alcohol were silent in an instant. I don't know if it's Yi? The 'Tang Taizong's old technique' in his mouth affected the two of them, and it was the great achievements within four years that frightened the two of them, and they were silent in an instant. R1152
