In the middle of summer 1892 in Seoul, there seemed to be a strange smell in the air, an atmosphere of ecstasy and fanaticism, and the whole of Seoul, and perhaps the whole of Korea, were in a frenzy that had never been seen before. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Especially for those Korean soldiers, they will stand in front of the bulletin board of the Unified Supervision Office almost every day, watching the latest news from the front-line battlefield, whenever the bulletin board is posted with the news of the war, these North Korean soldiers are all cheering, and even many soldiers can shed tears of excitement. And when the news came that the old capital of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was defeated without a fight, the entire Seoul instantly boiled.

In front of the shops on both sides of the streets of Seoul, large and small flags of the general supervision and the sun and moon flags with the meaning of nostalgia hung overwhelmingly, passing in front of Li Kangnian's eyes, and the melody of returning to the Han and Tang dynasties was frantically poured into his eardrums over and over again. As a famous Confucian in North Korea, Li Kangnian, like Liu Linxi and others, adhered to the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period and respected China to the outside world, but unlike Liu Linxi and others who advocated the "Northern Expedition" and demanded the Northern Expedition to the Manchu Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, in his opinion, the Ming Dynasty had been dead for more than 200 years, and there was naturally no possibility of recovery from the extinction of the emperor, even if the Northern Expedition was to advocate the entry of Korea into the Central Plains.

But his dream, or "fantasy", came to naught with the unification of the Unified Supervision Office in the DPRK, especially after the Unified Supervision Office fully intervened in the national affairs of the DPRK, and the local government became an ornament under the intervention of the Local Affairs Department, which made Li Kangnian feel painful, every time he thought that the country and the dynasty were all controlled by the Qing people, the heartache and the admiration of Hua Zhengyi also flashed in his heart, and at this time, in the face of the Unified Supervision Office, he raised troops against the Qing Dynasty. He who advocated defending justice and rejecting evil couldn't help but be confused.

This. Is this government really trying to restore China?

At this time. The reporters of the "Dong-A Daily" have already spread the news of the occupation of Jinzhou by the New Army to the outside world. The surging crowd held small flags, more of the sun and moon flags, rather than a red cloth of the unified supervision flag, and took to the streets against the flying ribbons, cheering and jumping.

At this time, two young gentlemen with tears on their faces. rushed to the front of Li Kangnian, and when they saw that it was Li Kangnian, the two scholars hurriedly walked excitedly:

"Mr. Wei, China has been restored! China's recovery is just around the corner! ”

Although China's liberation is still far away, it is the first time for these scholars to see hope, to see the hope of China's recovery, and for these scholars who adhere to the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period and uphold the heart of respecting China, there seems to be no more exciting thing in this world than this.

Even in the eyes of many of them, once China recovers, all the problems will be solved. There will be no more worries about foreign disturbances, and there will be no corrupt officials. And the DPRK can serve China sincerely with a big heart, and China will be blessed.

In the unprecedented excitement, thousands of North Korean officials and scholars were all crying excitedly, and even flocked to the big newspaper altar regardless of the palace attendants, in order to worship the three emperors of the Ming Dynasty.

For these Korean officials and scholars who have been respecting the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty for hundreds of years, they seem to understand the Tongjian Mansion and the "bullying" of North Korea in the past two years, but this bullying is for the sake of "Kuang Zheng China", and even give birth to a sense of honor.

“…… With the strength of our Korea, China can rebuild the mother state with small things and big things, which is really the luck of all the people of Korea, and it is also the blessing of all the people of Korea. My oriental insects, plants and trees, why not be the emperor's spirit? Today, the Korean people are willing to do their best to help the Northern Expedition......"

Compared with the excitement of the North Korean officials and people, only a very small number of people realized from the telegram sent by the Unified Supervision Office that this "Northern Expedition" was probably not for the purpose of "restoring China", because there was no word related to "China" in the telegram, could it really be "the side of the Qing monarch", if there are still people who regard Tang Haoran as a loyal minister of the Qing State, I am afraid it will only make people laugh, but what is the purpose of this wave of the Kanto region?

But in any case, for the North Koreans, now they seem to have found a reason to be proud -- "to repay China with one state" and to restore China with one state, just thinking that China's liberation originated from North Korea is enough to make these Koreans who have been small and big things for thousands of years proud, and even proudly shout "China will recreate Korea, and Korea will return to China". That is, the feeling of being a sinner in China, and this makes it logical for the local affairs department to take over the local government affairs in a comprehensive way, of course, all in the name of "China".

At this time, when the "restoration of China" became the aspiration of the people of the DPRK, there did not seem to be such self-awareness in the center of the people's aspirations, and everything was only carried out in an orderly manner for the unification and supervision office.

"Tohoku!"

In the office of Nanbie Palace, Tang Haoran, who spit out two words, just looked at Li Jingshu with a smile, and now it was almost time to make his own offer.

"Tohoku!"

Li Jingshu looked at Tang Haoran in surprise.

"The Northeast, that, the land of Longxing of the Imperial Court, the Imperial Court will never ......"

"What if it doesn't happen?"

Tang Haoran shook his head, Li Jingshu is still too young, now he hopes to be able to deal with Li Jingfang, if it is Li Jingfang, what will he say?

He may say...... "You fight down first, and then you will say, and when you conquer the northeast, the court will naturally be speechless", and he will even instigate himself to attack the capital to ensure that the court makes concessions.

However, now all this is just an idea, after all, it is Li Jingshu who deals with him.

"What if the court will never accept it? At present, Fuzhong has established a civil affairs department in the liberated areas, and in many places, many gentry, citizens, and poor people have even voluntarily asked the Korean garrison for protection. The representatives of the people pleaded with the army for leniency. Mercy saved the people from the sufferings of displacement. ”

Mention is made of the civil administration system established for the "liberated areas" in the northeast. Tang Haoran's expression couldn't help but show a hint of pride, for the civil administration of the northeast region, to a certain extent, it is a test for the unified supervision office, or equivalent to an "examination" before entering the Beijing entrance examination, directly testing the two years, the unified supervision office in the civil affairs to imitate the modern civil affairs system established by the West, and even the DPRK is just making some attempts.

Only in the Northeast can we really try to promote modern civil administration. Thus laying the foundation for future domination of the whole country. More importantly, with a population of less than 7 million, the Northeast is large but sparsely populated. There is no better place in China for change, coupled with the abundant resources of Northeast China. Ten years later, the Northeast will even be the fundamental place for him to move south, and the imperial court will not? Does it have something to do with yourself?

"The imperial court will never agree to give you the land of Longxing in the Northeast!"

Facing Tang Haoran's rhetorical question, Li Jingshu took a deep breath, stared at him and continued.

"After all, no matter what. The court always needs to take care of that little face! Otherwise......"

The face of the imperial court!

Smiling coldly, Tang Haoran looked at Li Jingshu and sneered.

"This time. I just want to save the face of the court, but if I have to pick it up, I'm afraid that Lord Zhongtang will ......"

Although it is impossible to take one step and count ten steps, from the moment when the "Eight Governors Discuss Politics" was thrown out to separate the trust between the Manchu court and the local Han ministers, Tang Haoran knew that once the Han ministers chose to "discuss politics" in order to protect themselves, then for them, only by removing the face of the imperial court, their official positions could be more stable.

Just as in history, the disaster of Gengzi took off the face of the Manchu court, if it were not for Li Hongzhang, Liu Kun and other Huaixiang ministers who died immediately, and Zhang Zhidong handed over the right to Jin to become a military machine, how could the Manchu court hold out for eleven years, but even so, the reality of the place is big, but it is irreversible for the Manchu court, and when they tried to reverse, the Xinhai Revolution broke out immediately.

Now what he needs to do is to tear off the face of the imperial court, and connive at the other eight governors to sit big, with the mutual ties of the eight governors, he does not need to worry about the Manchu court at least in the next ten years, as for whether the eight governors will attack each other, which will lead to a civil war, Tang Haoran is full of confidence, these governors who are born as scholars will never be like this, at least they still have a little faith in their hearts.

Then again, isn't there a court here!

"Lord Zhongtang also wants to rip off the face of the imperial court!"

Tang Haoran's words only made Li Jingshu smile helplessly, but he couldn't stop shaking his head while smiling, and finally stared at Tang Haoran and said.

"Ziran, in the past, others only said that you were good at Western learning, but you were not good at being an official, but today you ......"

After a slight pause, when he said this, Li Jingshu still regarded the young man in front of him who was about the same age as himself as a friend.

"Everyone in the world will know that you are the best official in this world, even if you are a father, you are not as good!"

used a move to power the eight governors to the point where they wanted to be loyal ministers but couldn't, how could such a person be good at being an official, but Li Jingshu's evaluation was exchanged for Tang Haoran's laughter, and he said with a smile.

"Zhong Peng, if I could be an official, how could I get to this point?"

That's because he never thought of becoming an official!

If Li Hongzhang heard Tang Haoran's words, he would definitely say so on the side, but it's a pity that Li Hongzhang is not here, in fact, for Tang Haoran, to a certain extent, he and Li Hongzhang can barely be regarded as confidants, at least half of the confidants.

"Zhong Peng, there will be a ship sailing to Tianjin in the next two days, if Zhong Peng is willing, you can go to Incheon to take a boat back to Tianjin, I don't know what my brother wants?"

"Ahh Will you let me go? ”

Li Jingshu looked at Tang Haoran in surprise, after he raised troops against the imperial court, he felt that he was a hostage, every time he thought that he was all hostage and blackmailed his father, Li Jingshu's heart was sad, thinking that his father was worried about himself, and he was so filial that he didn't want to get up for a while, and he really lost a lot of weight.

"Zhong Peng, look at what you said, you are not a prisoner, how can you let it go?"

As if to prove that what he said was true, Tang Haoran deliberately added:

"Furthermore, you see, when you were here, didn't you think of a convenient place to go? When was someone blocked? ”

It is true that he was not stopped, but for "security reasons". Tang Haoran still sent guards to "protect" him. That's what he said. Li Jingshu was speechless, indeed, after Tang Haoran raised the army, he did not restrict his personal freedom, let alone kidnap him, as for the guards, they were also sent long before the rebellion, it seems that he thought too much.

After thinking for a moment, Li Jingshu looked at Tang Haoran. He knew that the other party told him so clearly that he could leave North Korea, and he must have asked for something, so he asked rhetorically:

"Is there anything I need to bring to my father?"

"My lord, do you think Li Hongzhang will agree?"

After Li Jingshu left the Nanbei Palace, when Li Guangguang walked into Tang Haoran's study, he asked rhetorically, who advocated not letting Li Jingshu return to China for the time being:

"Now it's not whether Li Hongzhang agrees, but ......"

After a slight pause, Tang Haoran looked at Li Guangguang and said with a smile.

"Benefits!"

Perhaps for Li Guangguang and others, to a large extent, they were all "pulled onto the thief ship" by themselves. And now Li Hongzhang and the others have not been pulled onto the thief ship by themselves, and it is easy to get on this boat and difficult to get down.

"For Li Hongzhang, they are there. The reason why they risked killing their heads to force the imperial court to give in was to protect their own interests, for these adults who are accustomed to power, it is easier to take their power than to kill them! ”

This is the most critical place, and the reason why Tang Haoran mentioned the "Eight Governors Discuss Politics" at the beginning was to hold their fate, if there was no Hangzhou Uprising to pierce the window paper of the "Manchu and Han Dynasty", if they did not mention "discrimination and prevention of Hanchen" in their telegrams, maybe adults like Li Hongzhang and Zhang Zhidong would continue to be loyal courtiers of "My Qing Dynasty" as in history, but in the end, they realized from the changes in the court that the "Eight Governors Discuss Politics" was their last chance, if they missed this opportunity, There is a high probability that they will die without a place to be buried.

Han Chen, Manchu Chen, for the Manchu court, this original sin is something that it can never get rid of. Tang Haoran used a trick to "protect himself" and pulled them onto this boat, and now for Tang Haoran, this first step has been done, and then the second move is needed.

"What do you mean, my lord?"

"Chongshan, why didn't Zeng Guofan fight back then with heavy troops? Why doesn't Li Hongzhang fight against the elite of the world? Is it deeply trusted by the imperial court? No, it's because they don't want to be the first to be unfaithful! ”

After the sarcastic words came out of Tang Haoran's mouth, he couldn't help but sneer secretly.

"The scholars have been rebelling for ten years, and those adults have too many concerns, not because they don't want to rebel, but because they ...... You need me as a "rough man"! ”

The adult's words made Li Guangguang stunned for a moment, and then he smiled when he figured this out.

"No, they need adults to poke open the window paper when necessary, and only adults can ......."

"You can tear your face regardless of your face!"

With a cold smile, Tang Haoran glanced towards the south, as if he wanted to see the expressions of those "adults".

"Actually, they're just a bunch of adults!"

At most, there are adults with a little ambition, in history, Li Hongzhang thought about being the governor, Zhang Zhidong thought about being the emperor, that is, Liu Kunyi, and also moved the mind of the iron hat king, but these adults all became loyal ministers of "my Qing Dynasty" in the end, and in the end, that is, Yuan Shikai, who was cold by the Manchu Qing, took the world through the uprising.

This Manchu Qing Dynasty can enjoy the world for hundreds of years, and it is strange that there is no hero, if Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang and others are like Cao Cao and other heroes, how can they still have their own play?

After sneering, Tang Haoran, who had collected his mood, pulled his thoughts back to reality from the reminiscence of history and reality, and said to Li Guangguang.

"Chongshan, let's not talk about what to do with those adults. There is one more thing at the moment, which is the matter of those flag people, what do you think? ”

Shang Dequan can kick the ball to the Tongjian Mansion, but Tang Haoran has no room to kick it anymore, but hundreds of thousands of banner people are a problem that has to be solved in front of them, how to deal with those flag people who have not been on the battlefield, at least for now, this problem cannot be avoided.

"My lord, if it is reasonable, if they hold the flag salary, they are naturally the flag soldiers, and since they are soldiers, they will naturally be locked up in the prisoner camp!"

In the face of the adult's inquiry, Li Guangguang first stated his position, and then looked at the adult and said.

"But the problem is that hundreds of thousands, involving as many as 100,000 strong men, not to mention the various problems that these people may face if they are put in prisoner of war camps, just by doing this, I am afraid that the capital will be ...... at that time."

Indeed, he is still waiting for the will of the capital, at least to a certain extent, to grasp the three eastern provinces, but if hundreds of thousands of bannermen are imprisoned in prisoner of war camps, I am afraid that the capital will not be able to explain it to the other side, and it will only add a little trouble at that time.

"However, so many people stay in the Northeast, it is always ...... In Chongshan's opinion, how should this matter be handled?! ”

Tang Haoran's words raised, and he looked at Li Guangguang and asked rhetorically.

"My lord, I heard that the capital is preparing to train the Eight Banners New Army!"

After a rhetorical question, Li Guangguang looked at the adult and said with a smile.

"Since the imperial court has this mind, we as ministers, we can't help but help, in my opinion, we can send them back to the capital, after all, when the time comes...... After all, we still have to catch them again, rather than let them disagree now, it is better to catch them convincing when the time comes, and then ......"

After a slight pause, a smile appeared on Li Guangguang's face.

"The adults in this level also need some restraints, don't they!"
