Emperor Guangxu also knew that this group of ministers was loyal to him, and if it weren't for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, he would never have taken such a risk. Now it is not the previous dynasties, the world is controlled by their Shilin people impenetrable, and how to write in the history books depends on their personal preferences.

Now it is common to the world, and what happened in the Great Qing Kingdom will also be spread to foreign countries, and if you want to play book burning and banning, it is impossible to stop it strictly. Even if you suppress the mouths of everyone in the world, because the foreigners are already in the confidants, they can't hide it.

At the juncture when Yang Hao led the army to go on the expedition, once this kind of thing of giving birth to a son without an asshole is known to the whole world, how many people involved in it will be scolded to death. Aren't all scholars famous? The reputation is worse than killing them.

Qingliu like Li Hongzao is also gambling, but their methods have chosen the wrong object at the wrong time and in the wrong place. The result is destined to be tragic.

Guangxu helped the teacher up with both hands, and sighed quietly: "The teacher is for my good, and I understand it very well in my heart." But now that everything is not working, there are so many rumors in the market, but how to deal with it? ”

The emperor didn't blame, Li Hongzao was relieved, stroked his beard and muttered: "What is the will of the garden?" ”

Guangxu shook his head: "It's just that I don't have a word that makes my heart unsteady." ”

Li Hongzao knew what the problem was. They didn't launch at the right time!

November 7, the tenth day of the tenth lunar month, happened to be the 60th birthday of the Empress Dowager Cixi. Because the Japanese army provoked the war, the celebration of the world that she had been preparing for two years came to naught. Not only are the theaters, color stages, and archways built at the cost of millions of taels of silver useless. The original plan was to drive through the city from the Forbidden City to the Summer Palace to watch the drama and watch the garden. Let all the people in the world see a peaceful and prosperous scene of "national peace and security", and all of them have come to naught.

this day. She spent her lonely and desolate time in Ningshou Palace, and Emperor Guangxu went to say hello, but he just went through the motions.

I don't know that I thought that this old lady was going to collapse and completely relinquish control of the empire.

But Li Hongzao and the others knew very well that they were still far from that step. If the Empress Dowager Xi has a will, it means that she has an opinion, whether it is for or against, at least a clear attitude.

But without saying a word, this makes people guess the details. Is there already a storm in the making? It's hard to say!

There was a saying in the market before. The Japanese deliberately prevented the Empress Dowager from coming to the stage, and specially prevented her from having a good birthday. It was originally scheduled that on the 10th day of the first month of October, the Jinzhou soldiers would be captured in Dalian and threaten Lushun. Li Hongzhang had to make two preparations for this, and secretly sent De Huanglin to Japan on a British ship to sue for peace. The news was also revealed to Qingliu by the British, who were still inclined to support the enlightened and progressive Guangxu Emperor.

At the critical moment, Yang Hao and Li Jingfang led people to withstand the strong attack of 30,000 Japanese troops, and killed and wounded thousands, making it difficult for the enemy to advance an inch. It seems. It's like giving Galeries Lafayette a long face.

Don't care how wise Cixi is, she is an old lady who wants to save face in her bones. As long as Yang Hao didn't raise the flag to rebel, she always looked at the people who made her comfortable in her heart, which couldn't be changed. The proof is. On the day of his birthday, the good news came, and the Queen Mother of the West specially rewarded Li Jingfang with a jade ruyi.

This also strengthened the determination of Li Hongzao and other Qingliu people to be ruthless. Once Yang Hao pushed Li Jingfang up, Shun took over Li Hongzhang's Huai system and Beiyang. Then the Qingliu people wasted a lot of effort to form the plan to reverse the plum, and it will go bankrupt! Took over Li Hongzhang's vast legacy. will become impossible. How can they tolerate such an outcome?

Forefoot West Queen Mother Reward. On the back foot, they started to kill Yang Hao, once it was distorted that they deliberately couldn't get along with Lafayette, Li Hongzao and they also had to weigh the weight. It's been a day, and there hasn't been an explanation, is this breeding thunder and wrath?

Emperor Guangxu was afraid!

Li Hongzao was scheming, and he had an idea as soon as his eyes rolled, and said with a calm posture: "The emperor doesn't have to worry. The righteousness of the world is still in the hands of the imperial court, and some rumors in the market will naturally disperse in a few days. Even if you can't take the people in the concession for a while, you can let the world see clearly the determination of the imperial court, and believe that those smart people will be deterred and make a choice. ”

Guangxu is not so easy to fool, and keenly pointed out the key question: "What if Yang Hao defeats the Japanese army and sings triumphantly?" ”

Li Hongzao said calmly: "Then the emperor might as well reward him exceptionally, if he receives it at that time, he will not be able to regenerate dissent." If he doesn't accept it, he can take the opportunity to deal with it, in short, the general situation is mine. ”

Emperor Guangxu pondered silently for a moment, and suddenly said: "Teacher, you said that if the imperial court also runs a newspaper to publicize all kinds of clear words and principles of the Qing Dynasty on behalf of the official, and guide the atmosphere by educating people's hearts, how about it?" ”

Li Hongzao was overjoyed and bowed down to worship: "Shengming has no past the emperor, this matter is excellent!" The imperial court should have its own voice, and it should not allow the opposition to arbitrarily comment and criticize. ”

Guangxu was very excited in his heart, this was an idea he had for a long time. Speaking from the heart, I am still not convinced by the Japanese Emperor Muren, why can't I do what he can do? It's just a matter of reforming politics, refreshing the rule of officials, and introducing new learning! With the national strength of the Qing Dynasty, it is not ten times better than him? Running an official newspaper and guiding public opinion is a crucial step.

But Guangxu forgot a key question. There are many things that can be done by the people, and others can do it, but if he wants to do it, there will be a lot of trouble. The Manchu rule was not really a word, it represented a large number of tribal alliances. The right to speak was given to him by the Manchu collective, and once he revealed that he wanted to dominate the family with the support of Han officials, then others had something to say.

In addition, there is another fatal problem, such as today's talented people, almost all of them are Han. Whether you are engaged in political reform or a newspaper, in the end, it is not all Han people who do the work? That's all a thing that affects the world, how can the Manchurians rest assured that they can delegate power?

Therefore, in the end, nothing can escape a "long-term plan".

Their monarchs and ministers are still whimsical there, unaware that the turmoil of public opinion in the world has quietly begun to heat up!

The circulation of this issue of Guowen Bao exceeded 150,000 copies, which is very amazing! On the one hand, there are more and more people who hesitate to care about the outcome of the Sino-Japanese war, after all, no one wants to wait for the imperial court to lose, and when they need to lose money, they will take it out of their pockets - this truth, Yang Hao also made it clear.

On the other hand, it is because of the sudden change of the peak protrusion. The imperial court did this, how would Yang Hao react? Could it be another Wu Sangui who led the enemy into the pass, allowing the Japanese army to occupy Dalian Lushun, and pouting the Manchu Qing hometown by the way?

This kind of speculation is very marketable, and countless people are waiting to see the excitement, and naturally they will not let go of the most well-informed "Guowen Daily".

There are also some people who are concerned about the progress and changes of the situation, and judge whether it is the timing of the team according to some clues.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty was not very stable, which many people can see clearly. It's just that no one stood up to be Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, and everyone was just so fooled. But Yang Hao has the qualifications to raise the flag, once he makes a move, with his strong army and navy strength, and infinite financial resources, it is not impossible to suddenly attack from the hinterland of Beijing and Tianjin, and occupy the capital.

When the time comes, how many people in the world will raise the king of Bingqin? How many people have taken the opportunity to support themselves and stand on their own? Will the Yang family establish themselves as kings? Or is it a treacherous and cunning one who took advantage of the fire to rob and steal the country?

In the midst of all these changes, there are great benefits. There is no shortage of adventurers in any era, they just wait for the wind to change and be the first to strike!

All of a sudden, the number of people rushing to Tianjin from all over the country increased suddenly, and the number of people who created and spread gossip in various places was innumerable. The governors of the provinces, who were far away from the capital, became nervous one after another, and countless calculations made the business of the Daqing Telegraph Office suddenly increase tenfold!

On the battlefield of Jinzhou, Yang Hao was busy and did not forget to pay attention to the intelligence from everywhere.

Xu Yanzhuo sat in the US Concession, collected and summarized it, sent a brief description by secret message, and then sent the details by speedboat without delay at all.

Ding Weifen read the results of the analysis, and danced excitedly: "Sir, did you see it?" The rule of the Qing court is already stormy, if you defeat the Japanese army, with unprecedented prestige and wave your arms, there will be countless people looking at the scenery! ”

Yang Hao shook his head not optimistically: "That will inevitably lead the heroes to chase the deer, the mountains and rivers will be broken, and the great powers will take advantage of the weakness to support the partition, and then the warlords will fight, and the world will be in chaos!" Hundreds of millions of people are still unlucky, and when we finish cleaning up the mess, we are afraid that the whole country will be in ruins. ”

Ding Weifen's head suddenly calmed down. Yes, if they really want to be like that, what is the difference between their Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the rebel armies of previous dynasties? Not only will it be difficult to achieve the ultimate goal, but it will also lead to a tortuous and arduous road to revolution. That's not what they wanted.

Seeing that he looked a little disappointed, Yang Hao immediately pointed out the stakes: "However, the Qing court should have understood our influence on the country and the people at this moment. This time, they can't get rid of us by force, so they can only try to take the initiative to win the hearts and minds of the people, and the only way out is to change the law. ”

Ding Weifen woke up at the time: "Once Emperor Guangxu presides over the reform of the law, it will inevitably touch the interests of the Manchu conservatives. The Empress Dowager Cixi will also make a fierce counterattack because of their seizure of power. In the final analysis, the Manchu court would only maintain their dominance and interests, and the so-called changes in the law would most likely further harm the interests of the people of all ethnic groups in the world. Under the resistance of so many parties, the reform will inevitably fail! Their weakness and narrow-mindedness will be exposed! ”

Yang Hao said leisurely: "We only need to take the opportunity to win over the forces that are disappointed in them, and use facts to prove that our ideas and paths are correct, and then we will gain the support of the vast majority of forces." If we launch a revolution again, we will surely succeed in one fell swoop! ”

Manchu Qing, if you don't toss, you will die, and if you toss, you will die faster! (To be continued......)
