"Girl, how long have I been unconscious?" Wang Yi looked at the two girls leaning on his arms and said.

"It's been half a month." Shen Yatou replied.

"It's been so long!" Wang Yi felt a little unreal. "After I fell unconscious, what happened to Dashang?"

***

A group of soldiers suddenly rushed in from the headquarters of Yingkou Dashang Silver Furnace, not only surrounding the building, but also quickly rushing directly into the building despite the security guards' obstruction, and scattered all the guests in the hall.

Li Yuzhen just put down the phone in his hand, he stood by the window, looked down, and looked indifferent.

Soldiers cut the telephones and wires at the headquarters of the Silver Furnace. Li Yuzhen frowned slightly when she saw this, and said in her heart: "It's time to come, it's still here." ”

This kind of thing happened today in the major enterprises of Dashang, including Dashang No. 1 Iron and Steel Plant, Dashang No. 2 Iron and Steel Plant, Dashang Nonferrous Metals, Dashang Fushun Coal Mine, Dashang Benxi Coal Mine, Dashang Coal Chemical, Dashang Heavy Industry, Dashang Light Industry, Dashang Machine Tools, Dashang Electric Power, Dashang Tianlai, Dashang Ship, Dashang Culture, Dashang Electric Light, Dashang Train, Dashang Hardware, Dashang Petroleum, Dashang Petrochemical, Dashang World Telephone and Telegraph Company, Dashang Pharmaceutical......

Because Wang Yi had previously supported the Northeast Republic against the attack of Tsarist Russia, all the troops stationed in the factory had been withdrawn, and the security of various places was changed to Chang Jinlong's Dashang Logistics Patrol Team.

When Ming'an led people into Li Yuzhen's office, he was accompanied by Cui Xiao, deputy general manager of Dashang Silver Furnace. Li Yuzhen sat in his seat, with no expression on the surface, but he sighed secretly in his heart: "There are really traitors within the big business, and they can't bear it on weekdays, but now they all come out." ”

At this time, Ming An saw that Li Yuzhen was still sitting in the seat, and he didn't have the slightest intention of getting up, so he didn't care, and said with a smile: "Manager Li, don't come to harm?" ”

Li Yuzhen laughed, hurriedly got up, as if he had just seen Ming'an at this time, and said, "It turned out to be General Jilin!" I don't know what you need to come to our store? ”

When Ming An's subordinates saw Li Yuzhen get up, they raised their guns directly, and Ming An waved his hand and said, "It's all my own people." Then he smiled and said, "Yes!" ”

"I don't know why?"

"Dashang Silver Furnace!"

"All?"

"All!"

"Adults have a lot of appetite!" Li Yuzhen smiled.

Ming An stood with his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "Not only your Dashang Silver Furnace, but also all the industries of Dashang Group!" Now our soldiers have been stationed in all the factories of the Great Shang, but anyone who dares to resist, we will kill all of them! I don't know how many of you big businessmen dare to throw their heads like this, spill their blood, and fight the court to the end? ”

Li Yuzhen sorted out the text on the table, and asked casually: "Aren't you afraid that Wu Xiao and they will send troops to kill your whole family?" ”

Ming An smiled disdainfully and said: "Who doesn't know that most of the strength of the insurance team is now in the outer northeast, and the imperial court has issued an edict to send angels to the camps of the insurance team." The court promised not to blame you for the past, as long as you submit to the court, you will be allowed to be a high-ranking official and a wife. Wang Yidu is no longer here, who will not be able to get along with his future? ”

"Oh? That's it! Li Yuzhen picked up a cup of tea on the table, sat on the table casually, blew the leaf foam on it, and suddenly said strangely: "Lord Ming'an, there is something I am curious about, how do you know that the chairman is not there?" ”

Ming An smiled and said, "Vice President Cui." ”

Cui Xiao walked out and gave Li Yuzhen a slight salute.

"I see, I didn't expect Vice President Cui to be a member of the imperial court? In the past, I was offended......" Li Yuzhen clenched his fists and arched his hand.

Cui Xiao was a little ashamed at first, but quickly raised his head and said, "This Qing Dynasty is the world of the imperial court......"

Li Yuzhen didn't let him finish at all, and directly interrupted, saying: "At the beginning, in the Outer Northeast, the Russian Maozi also thought that the Outer Northeast was their world!" ”

Ming An raised his eyebrows and said, "Manager Li, what do you mean by this?" ”

Li Yuzhen's face suddenly became like water, and said coldly: "I just finished talking to the chairman on the phone this morning, and to be honest, the chairman is very angry...... Lord Ming'an, maybe you don't know, my Dashang's telegram doesn't need to be wired, and we will know the news as soon as you leave Jilin Ula with your troops. The chairman has not shown up, in fact, he is waiting for you! ”

When Ming An heard this, he was shocked!

"Now Li Bashan's Third Cavalry Division is advancing eastward, Vladivostok's Fourth Infantry Division is returning from Dongning to the west, and the Second Infantry Division stationed in Heilongjiang is going south, and the imperial court now has no Heilongjiang and no Jilin!"

"You can't rebel!" Ming An was furious at the crown.

Li Yuzhen was laughed at angrily and said, "You are only allowed to take away my big business foundation, and we are not allowed to let go of the counterattack?" Where does the truth come from! …… Okay, Xiang Long, don't hide it, take all the people in the house away! ”

A group of insurance team members holding giant shields suddenly rushed in, and before Ming'an's soldiers could react, they were all pressed against the wall by the giant shields, and the black batons went down, beating the gang to the point of bleeding.

"You are so bold that you dare to openly rebel! The court won't let you go! Ming'an, who had been tied up, roared loudly.

Xiang Long walked into the house at this time, he was different from Li Yuzhen, he went up to face Ming An is two feet, and then shook a big-eared melon seed, which made Ming An's ears buzz. Xiang Long grabbed his bodice and scolded, "You old boy dare to send someone to assassinate our captain!" also united with a group of people in the capital who didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and sought to seize the big businessmen! It's really fucking that the birthday boy hanged himself and thought it was a long time......"

"Traitor, the king is treasonous, everyone will be punished!" Ming'an shouted. "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother will not let you go!"

Li Yuzhen smiled: "Don't worry, we won't let them go!" ”

Xiang Long looked at Ming An and sneered: "The chairman was able to handle official business half a month ago, what do you think is the reason for delaying this half a month?" ”

"You, you ......"

"Sue you, the first and second cavalry divisions in the Outer Northeast and Mohe regions have already gone south and gone to the capital, I hope that your Empress Dowager of the West, as well as the emperor, will not be frightened by the sound of guns and cannons!"

Ming'an, who was already dead-faced, was taken down, and the soldiers he brought were all disarmed at this time. After Xiang Long escorted them away, Dashang Yinlu began to work normally again, but there was a deputy general manager Cui and his family of people.

On the day when the Qing court took action against Dashang, Wang Yi suddenly appeared in front of people, and openly expressed his dissatisfaction with the Qing court through Guò Dashang Radio, and at the same time announced the truth and evidence of the entire conspiracy to the outside world, and public opinion was in an uproar for a while.

Cixi was watching a play in the palace, and Li Lianying was waiting by his side. The current Li Lianying is only in her early thirties, and as the head of the fourth grade flower feather of Chuxiu Palace, her status is not under the head of the Jingshi Room, which can be said to be deeply favored in front of Cixi.

The little eunuch whispered a few words in Li Lianying's ear, and his expression suddenly changed greatly. At this time, he didn't care about disturbing the queen mother's mood to listen to the play, so he hurriedly walked to Cixi's side and said, "Lafayette, the ministers outside the palace ask to see ......."

"What are they coming for?" Cixi felt strange, thought for a while, and said, "Xuan! ”

"Wow!"

It didn't take long for Cixi to watch a group of people rush in in a hurry, and said in her heart, the palace is coming? It's not like, where are the foreigners making trouble again?

Led by Prince Gong Yi 60, Prince Yi Xun, Prince Li Shiduo, the former minister of the county Wang Yixuan, and Bao Jun, Weng Tongyi, Li Hongzao...... Li...... Wait a minute.

"Greet the Queen Mother!"

Cixi waved her hand and said, "You Aiqing are in such a hurry, I don't know why?" ”

Li Hongzao came out first at this time and said: "Empress Dowager, Wang Yi, chairman of Dashang Group, rebelled in Fengtian and put the officials of the three provinces under house arrest. Now that he has led his troops south, he has broken through the first line of Jinzhou Shanhaiguan, and the troops are approaching the Beijing Division, please make a decision for the Queen Mother! ”

Originally, in terms of status, it was not his turn to come out and speak, so Cixi frowned and didn't say anything. After thinking about it, I also understood the reason, it was him and Weng Tonggong at the beginning, as well as Gang Qingliu, and even took Ming'an to play together, and wanted to collect big businessmen as state-owned.

Hearing this, Cixi was also a little flustered, but as the Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty, she was very calm, slightly puzzled, and said, "Didn't you say that he was dead?" ”

In fact, Cixi didn't know who Wang Yi was at first, and if it weren't for Li Hongzao and others who always mentioned it in the last month, she wouldn't have asked. In her eyes, Wang Yi is at most a businessman who can make money. In terms of status, I am afraid that even the big shopkeepers of Shanxi ticket numbers cannot be compared, and Hu Xueyan and Sheng Xuanhuai cannot be compared.

"This person cheated to death...... "Weng Tongyi said at this time.

Cixi is a little strange, the devil Prince Liugong Yi 60 has not spoken, Li Hongzhang is the same, the others are noisy, and a group of princes have already knelt on the ground and cried loudly. I hope that Cixi will take Guangxu to hunt in the west, to put it simply, to escape.

Last time Xianfeng ran to Chengde, this time it didn't work, people came from the northeast, you have to go to Chengde again, that is, the sheep into the tiger's mouth. Don't look at the name Lafayette, he is also said to be the third Buddha, but Cixi does not have the consciousness of being a Buddha, and the most afraid is to go to the West Heaven.

"Sixth brother, what do you mean?"

Prince Gong Yi 60 looked at a bunch of clear streams and became angry, there is no you in this matter, there is no you in the wet, the natural tax has risen sharply in recent years, and the money that Wang Yi should pay is a lot. Even when there was a rare drought and locust plague in northern China in the past two years, people tried their best to help. It's like a group of you who have nothing to do when you're full, and you have bad water all day long.

"The ministers and brothers all listen to the decision of the Queen Mother." After Ci'an died, Prince Gong was a man with his tail between his legs, and he didn't dare to say much in front of Cixi.

Cixi snorted, turned her face to look at Li Hongzhang, and said, "Li Aiqing, what do you think?" ”

Li Hongzhang glanced at the surrounding group of ministers and said, "Tell the Queen Mother that the ministers are willing to go to Fengtian in person and let Wang Yi collect his troops and return." ”

Hearing this, Cixi finally showed some smiles on her face, and said, "Aiqing is sure?" ”

"Minister, only dare to say do your best!"

Cixi nodded, she also knew that no one dared to guarantee this kind of thing.

Li Hongzhang pondered for a moment, and then said: "Queen Mother, before your subordinates travel, please forgive your ministers for being disrespectful and ask the Queen Mother for something!" ”

"What?"

"Jilin General Ming'an's head!"

"Ming'an's head? Why is that? Cixi immediately understood and said, "Could it be that this matter started because of him?" ”

Li Hongzhang bowed down and said, "The Queen Mother is wise!" It is said that three or four years ago, the Russians built a military port and coastal defense in Vladivostok, but there was a lack of steel and cement for construction, and if these things were shipped from Europe, it would be time-consuming and laborious, so they thought of purchasing and shipping them from China. When Andrei, a Russian businessman, heard the news, he came to Mukden to ask the big merchant for these building materials. However, Wang Yi, chairman of Dashang, thought at that time that if the Russian military port was built, it would be a great threat to our Qing Dynasty, so he refused. ”

"I didn't think that this king was a man of the individual country, so what happened later?"

Later, Andre did not give up, so he went to Fengtian to ask Yucheng, the younger brother of Yuen, who was then the servant of the Shengjing Ministry of Industry, to come forward and say that he was unmoved. Because Yucheng received Andre's benefits, and didn't want to do anything, he returned the silver money in vain, so he colluded with tax officials Yang Tieshan and Cong Fu. One of these two is the nephew of Yang Guinian, the military commissariat of Fengtianfu, and the other is the nephew of the Shengjing Criminal Department at that time and the current Jilin general Ming'an. ”

Cixi listened silently.

Li Hongzhang continued: "The three of them wanted to plot against the Dashang Iron and Steel Plant because they saw that the business was booming, and they were stopped by Schroeder Kohl, the director of the Dashang Iron and Steel Plant at the time. The three of them had no choice but to retreat to Mukden, never thinking that they would encounter horse bandits halfway. The three of them were defeated, and they all died. Since then, the Jilin general Ming'an has held a grudge, and this incident was caused by him sending people to assassinate Wang Yi at Yingkou. If this person is sent up, the king will not rebel in the first place. ”

Cixi probably understood the reason when she heard it, and then thought about it: "Li Aiqing, I heard that that Ming'an is now in the hands of Wang Yi, this matter is ......."

"The Queen Mother only needs to give the queen a justifiable reason to kill Ming'an."

"If that's the case, the mourning family is ready!"

After Li Hongzhang left, Cixi reprimanded a group of Qingliu, including Li Hongzao and Weng Tongyi, who now knew that they were being used as a gun by Ming'an, and their hearts were full of resentment.

It was Wu Xiao who led the insurance team to the south this time, and he had two cavalry divisions under him, less than 30,000 people, and Chang Jinlong was in charge of logistics. After the Shanhaiguan battle, their marching speed slowed down.

Wang Yi was not prepared to overthrow the Qing Dynasty now, because it would not benefit anyone, on the contrary, it would only cheapen foreigners.

Those Qingliu who joined forces with Ming'an, Wang Yi didn't think about getting rid of them all. The reason is very simple, although these people only have the ability to speak out, but in the face of the main peace faction like Devil Six and Li Hongzhang, or simply the surrender faction, Qingliu is their counterbalance. Otherwise, in the upcoming Sino-French war, China will inevitably suffer even greater losses.

Because of physical reasons, Wang Yi did not meet Li Hongzhang, but asked Li Yuzhen to take Zhao Liewen out, and there were two conditions. The first is to deal with the first evil Ming'an, which is necessary. Secondly, the imperial court compensated Dashang with five million taels of silver, and the king of this money did not swallow it privately, but built four warships for Dashang Shipyard. Two battleships, two cruisers. The displacement of battleships was around 13000 tons, cruisers around 10000 tons. One of the battleships went to the North Ocean, and the remaining three to the South Ocean. What Dashang said about this matter also understands that the reason why this is done is not for money, but actually for the upcoming Sino-French war.
