Chapter 881: Multinational Mediation (5)
"Alas...... This matter is also a bit hasty, so that these people and the people of the Imperial Court are a unit, and they are preparing to fight with the European envoys recently.
As for the location of the European missions, it was placed outside the city, and the previous barracks were good, just build a few houses. ”
In terms of talent, Yang Meng is also a little helpless, if it is really poor, he can only suspend his ambitions for Alaska first, maybe there will be opportunities in the future.
"Third Master, is there no countermeasure for Yingli's plan?"
"Yes! It depends on the progress of Guangzhou, although it was set for a year before, but the shipyard still did not complete as promised, this matter is forced by Lao Tzu, just look at their recent progress, if it is not completed in three months, the territory of the Americas can only be broken! ”
The one-year period of the Guangzhou shipyard has already arrived, but the ironclad ship over there has only completed the construction of the hull and steam engine, and the installation is also a huge project, which cannot be forced, and Yang Meng has nothing to do about it.
"Push me again! The territory of the two provinces cannot be lost! ”
"You can ask Taichen to add some more strength! If you can fool around, it's not impossible! ”
Ironclad ships are now only used for deterrence, real naval warfare, offshore is also successful, ocean combat is a bit of a child's play, their own shortcomings know themselves, sometimes you can eat a fat man in one bite, but most of the time, it is still gradual, for example, the shipbuilding industry in front of Yang Meng today.
Unlike the European envoys, they can pay attention to the affairs of Tsarist Russia, but Yang Meng's side cannot, and domestic development is the key. Got most of the territory of Tsarist Russia. but ignoring domestic development. is the livelihood of the end, for the envoys, Yang Meng is just more concerned, and the real focus is still in China.
Time passed day by day, and the European envoys were getting closer and closer to Beijing, and a telegram from Tsarist Russia made Yang Meng turn his attention to the European envoys again.
"What do you think of this telegram, Commander?"
A fluttering telegram. was put in front of Xu Ziwei by Yang Meng, there are some things that others can't do.
"Huh...... Third master, this is a telegram from Li Xiucheng's house, the meaning of the telegram on your side is roughly the same, and this person on the telegram is not small! ”
After only glancing at the content of the telegram, Xu Ziwei smiled bitterly, this matter is troublesome, I don't know how Qin Ziqi should feel after reading it? The third master is afraid that this time he will be more serious again.
"Oh...... Li Xiucheng also thinks this is available? Chief, do you think this person is usable? ”
listened to Xu Ziwei's words. Yang Meng also changed his tone here, originally he came here to ask for guilt this time. But Li Xiucheng also mentioned this over there, and he should pause the matter of asking about the crime.
"This man? The ability to drill the camp is first-class, and the knowledge is not bad, but this temperament is not available!
If you say that this person should have had some chances, it's a pity that Anhui met Zuo Jigao, Shanghai met Cen Yuying, Jiangsu and Zhejiang met Shen Guifen, in general, it was the third master who broke this person's future.
The chief still remembers that the third master said in Jiujiang that this person is capricious and cannot be used! ”
The shadow and the one Li Xiucheng said in the telegram, Xu Ziwei has also studied it in the past two days, it doesn't matter if you don't look at it, you will be startled, if it is not for the third master, I am afraid that this will also be a very good minister!
It's a pity that the Yang family, especially in the court, is loyal, although this person has a shadow and Li Xiucheng's promotion, but this time I am afraid that he is going the wrong way.
"At this time and that time, Lao Tzu was fledgling, and he really didn't dare to use this person, but now this one is stronger than Lin, Zuo, and Zeng, Lin Laohu opened his eyes to see the world, but he died halfway, and he didn't praise him.
Zeng Zuo and the others, although their skills are not small, they are still stuck to etiquette and religion, and they have never really broken this circle, and they can only be used for a while.
Only this Li Hongzhang has been changing, this curtain from Zeng Disheng, although he has been repeatedly suspected of betraying the teacher, but he has been changing along the way, Anhui, Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, this person took the old road of Zeng Zuo, because of Lao Tzu's arrangement, he did not have a chance to soar.
After serving as the political envoy of Anhui, this Li Hongzhang changed his past and praised the recent decree issued by the imperial court, this change is not for the imperial court, the purpose of this person is to invite us to take credit!
Recently, the Russian conquest, the domestic affairs have slowed down, his flattering eyes have been thrown into the void, one plan is not a second family plan, this person is also a figure, at great risk, abandoned his post and went to the teacher Zeng Disheng again, and got the opportunity to contact the European and American envoys.
Lao Tzu's thoughts, he felt a rough idea over there, and followed the envoys all the way, this one did a lot of foreshadowing along with Lao Tzu's plan, and this effort was so good that Lao Tzu had to use it! ”
In the telegram between the shadow and Li Xiucheng, it is no one else, it is Zeng Disheng's student, the former Anhui political envoy Li Hongzhang, although when he came, Yang Meng was suspected of asking for the crime, but it was not for Li Hongzhang, there was another person who should be asked, but Li Xiucheng also mentioned that he wanted to use Li Hongzhang, and Yang Meng also lacked a diplomatic talent here, Li Hongzhang did it along the way, just with Yang Meng's appetite, it seems that this person still has to use it!
Several famous ministers at the end of the Qing Dynasty, Yang Meng did not admit much, Lin Laohu, Zeng Disheng, Zuo Jigao, Yang Meng recognized, but these three people also have a lot of limitations, Lin Laohu must not be reused, although the idea put forward is good, but it is not the time to die, Zeng Zuo and the two, in the final analysis, are still the representatives of the scholars, and the limitations are more stubborn than Lin Laohu.
Combined with some information from later generations, coupled with Li Hongzhang's land appearance, it seems that he really has to be given to him to do diplomacy, the so-called times create heroes, but that's it!
"Third master! I'm afraid this person's temperament is not very useful, this time I followed the envoy all the way, judging from Li Hongzhang's appearance, I'm afraid Zeng Disheng also missed a lot of things, otherwise Li Hongzhang would not have been so purposeful to please the third master.
The matter of the conquest of Russia, now that it is time to come to an end, Li Hongzhang will be reused at this time, but I am afraid that it will not be easy to kill in the future! ”
Seeing that Yang Sanye had the intention of reusing Li Hongzhang, Xu Ziwei's face also changed, although this diplomatic matter, although it is not the focus of the third master, but now the eyes at home and abroad are on the Tsarist Russia, if Li Hongzhang is enabled at this time, I am afraid that the merits of the Russian conquest will be given to this person.
Xu Ziwei is not afraid of Li Hongzhang's power, what he is afraid of is that Li Hongzhang will take this opportunity to fight against the third master, breaking the momentum of his third master's words, once the third master has a constraint, he is afraid that the major events of the Yang family will also have many twists and turns.
"It's hard to kill? Lao Tzu doesn't care about his reputation when he kills people, besides, this Li Hongzhang is not Zeng Zuo and the like, and now his reputation in the world is not as good as a knife handle, if he Li Hongzhang knows each other, it doesn't hurt to use it, if he doesn't know the face, he will kill it! If you don't accept it, you will be slaughtered, we have been planning to kill people recently! It's not bad for him.
Judging from Li Hongzhang's calculations, the undercurrent forces are afraid that they will not be able to enter his eyes, as long as he does not collude with the undercurrent wolf, he is the Sun Monkey in the hands of Rulai. ”
Li Hongzhang's ability, if exaggerated, is the source of the Chinese civil war, Beiyang originated from Li Hongzhang, it was Beiyang who protected some remnants and residues of the Qing Dynasty, but then again, Beiyang also made the Manchu Qing arrogant for a period of time, although it was defeated in the end, but Li Hongzhang is still remarkable.
Judging from his appearance along the way, he is still within his power to be a foreign minister, and now Yang Meng's hands are lacking such a talent, the so-called sleepiness comes with a pillow, isn't it Li Hongzhang?
"Then do it according to the third master's wishes?"
The third master is here, I'm afraid he wants to ask for guilt, Xu Ziwei tried it, and sure enough, the third master's face was still gloomy.
"Slow down! Although Li Hongzhang wants to use it, there is one thing, he has to do it first, when does Lao Tzu need a shadow to guide him?
You will handle this matter? ”
The shadow is to provide information for Yang Meng's administration, although sometimes, Yang Meng also uses the shadow to find some talents, but this time the shadow of the Tsarist Russia, the telegram sent is suspected of involving personnel, no matter what the starting point of the shadow is, this telegram has touched the taboo, and the people involved should be killed.
Now it seems that it is still very necessary to dismember the shadow, no matter what Li Hongzhang's ability is, and no matter why the shadow on the Tsarist side was persuaded by Li Hongzhang, the participation of an intelligence agency in the personnel selection of a country is definitely the beginning of a disaster.
Dealing with the shadow, Yang Meng also knew that Xu Ziwei didn't dare, this time he came over just to ask Xu Ziwei to send a telegram to Qin Ziqi, Yang Meng faked Xu Ziwei to send this telegram to Qin Ziqi, which is enough to show how dissatisfied he is here, let Xu Ziwei take over, in addition to laughing, Yang Meng also has the intention of temptation.
People's hearts are not eternal things, Xu Ziwei has been in the signing room for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be some arrogant taste, Yang Meng's last sentence, the role of the small half is to wake up Xu Ziwei, but the role of the majority depends on Qin Ziqi's reaction to this matter.
"Master, matters involving shadows, shadows, and blood shadows should be handled by Qin and Sun! The chief did not dare to meddle in this matter! ”
Hearing that the third master asked him to deal with the shadow commander on the Tsarist side, Xu Ziwei's face immediately turned green, this is really death! He is not a clean person, there are too many first places left, although he is protected by the third master now, but those dirty things and bad things, Qin Ziqi and Sun Boqing are very clear, this time they are acting on behalf of the two and slapped these two in the face, I am afraid that these two will settle the account after the autumn in the future!
"Hmph...... Useless goods, I'm afraid of a fart! Isn't there Lao Tzu to support you?
Never mind! Never mind...... You can send a telegram to Ziqi to inform you. ”
Seeing Xu Ziwei's face, Yang Meng pretended to be angry, but Xu Ziwei was just sweating and shaking his head, it seems that this person is still a little self-aware, after the ridicule and temptation are over, Yang Meng also handed over the bottom, Xu Ziwei drafted a telegram like an amnesty, and hurriedly sent someone to send it out, just afraid that there would be a slight delay in taking on such a bad errand again.
