Since Cixi has issued a challenge, Governor Yang naturally wants to fight, first of all, Li Yuncong and others, who have already entered Nanchang, have withdrawn to Fujian, and Cixi cannot be allowed to use this kind of thing as a handle, and Jiangxi is under the control of Liu Kun, and it is not good for him to occupy it like this, of course, the main thing is that he must shrink his forces.

However, before leaving, he distributed all the grain stored in the occupied prefectures and counties, including Nanchang, to the common people, and said to the outside world that they had been robbed by the rebels before the occupation, and as for where they were robbed, we really don't know what to do, and for a time the ordinary people of those prefectures and counties in Jiangxi who had not yet fallen into his hands were beaten to their chests, and some people even organized a group to go to Nanchang to petition and strongly demand that Li Yuncong also send troops to invade.

His move almost crooked Cixi's nose, you must know that the millions of people in Beijing are all sustained by transporting grain from the south, and Jiangxi is one of the important grain producing areas, and these grains as land endowments are to be transported to Beijing.

The second is to carry out a public opinion offensive, including tomorrow's daily newspaper and other newspapers that he has bought, every day on the full page and page of the testimony of those people and the trial records, and even broadcast them on the radio, in addition to some other crimes of Deokshou, such as stealing taxes from the feudal treasury or something, this kind of thing is difficult to be airtight, and those petty officials who guard the feudal treasury naturally know it, and it is enough to get these people out to testify.

Then you can question the Criminal Department with righteous words, such a convicted criminal who has committed many crimes, and when he comes to you and says that he will be acquitted and reinstated, you say that there is no shady scene in this, are the people of the world blind? Headed by Governor Yang and the governors of Fujian, Zhejiang, and Taiwan provinces, they jointly wrote to the imperial court, demanding that the judgment of the Supreme People's Court of Fujian, Zhejiang and Taiwan on Deshou be upheld, and at the same time investigate whether Shangshu Songyu of the Criminal Department had taken bribes, otherwise Governor Yang would personally go to Beijing to appeal to the Queen Mother in person.

He said that Cixi was energetic, okay, aren't you coming? Then hurry up. No troops are allowed to bring in.

Governor Yang said, that's not good, we suspect that there are traitors in the imperial court, and these traitors have ill intentions towards us, so it's not safe to bring the army, and we can't bring less, at least we have to bring a division over.

Cixi replied, then don't come.

Governor Yang also said that it was okay for us not to go, and that the imperial court must uphold our verdict against Deshou, otherwise we would have to go to Beijing to appeal in person.

Of course, these tricks are just entertainment, and the real thing is to see whose fists are hard.

"Zhonghua. Tell me about the current strength of the imperial court, can you stop that Yang Reverse?" Cixi looked at Rong Lu expectantly and said.

"Queen Mother, please forgive the minister, it's very difficult, only the first town in the new army has actual combat experience, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to defeat Yang Shun's soldiers who fought a hundred battles, not to mention that Yang Feng still has the means to release poison, how strong the Japanese are, don't they all fall under this poisonous gas? The strength of Yang Feng's first division was about one and a half towns in the imperial court. Therefore, if you want to stop him, you have to have at least three town elites, but now that the two or three towns have just formed an army, the soldiers are not very familiar with guns and cannons, and they can't stop him at this time. Rong Lu was much more sober than her. During this time, he and Shoushan also discussed this issue many times, and the more they discussed, the more chilling they became.

Although Shoushan had never fought against Yang Feng, he had been fighting with the Japanese for almost a year, and he was very clear about the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army. According to his evaluation, even the first town had at least twice the strength to block the Japanese army on the plain where there was no danger to defend, and according to the information provided by the soldiers who ran back from Yuan Shikai's subordinates. Even two divisions of the Japanese army could not stop Yang Feng's 10,000 men, so Shoushan's conclusion was that after another half a year of training, the new army of the six towns would be all on board, and it would probably be able to barely block one of Yang Feng's divisions.

"Then Yang Yi is so powerful?" Cixi said in disbelief, how could she not understand why she had to have six towns to block him from one division?

"The combat effectiveness of Yang Shun's subordinates is not mentioned for the time being, the key is his ability to release poison, in the words of those soldiers who do not want to rebel, the poison gas bomb hits the past, no matter how heroic the soldier is, there is only one way to escape, unless they are like Yang Shun's subordinates, they all wear gas masks, and even have to wear gas suits, otherwise no one can hold the position in front of them." Rong Lu said with a wry smile.

"Then buy it!" Cixi said without hesitation that she was still very generous with the money she spent.

"At present, except for Yang Feng's own factory in Sweden, even Britain and Germany have not made such things." Rong Lu sighed and said, in fact, what he didn't know was that at this time, Yingde had already begun to imitate Yang Feng's gas mask, after all, the poison gas was too powerful, even if such a set of things was expensive, it had to be used.

"So you mean we put up with it?" Cixi said with a gloomy face.

"Queen Mother, you can't lose a big one because of a small one, sacrificing Deshou can at least delay it for a while, what we lack most now is time, and in another year, our sailors will join the new ship, and the generals will all be replaced by our flag men, and then we can be completely sure." Rong Lu said earnestly.

"Rong Zhongtang, you are too underestimating our Manchurian athletes, right? Thinking that Yang Feng is fighting, it is nothing more than the strength of the equipment, and now the new army is not inferior to him, as for the poisonous gas, the old minister has also heard of it. Yixuan said to Cixi that his son was the commander of the second town, so he paid special attention to military things during this time.

"Since the courtiers have been in office, they are also quite diligent, and they are deeply ashamed of the last time Yang rebels committed Beijing, so they are looking for a way to break the enemy day and night, and the veterans of the recent expedition to the day, according to what they said, there are many restrictions on the use of poisonous gas, and if you accidentally hurt yourself, and today is winter, all the northwest wind blows, Yang rebels come from the sea, if you use poisonous gas, will not smoke yourself?" Yixuan continued, and it could be seen that he had really put in some effort.

"Oh, and that kind of thing?" Cixi came to the spirit all of a sudden.

"Lafayette, this matter is true, and that Deshou is loyal to the country, sacrificing his life to deal with the traitor, if the court is threatened by the traitor and abandons it, then how can the majesty of the court exist, and how can he order the ministers in the future, don't you see the story of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty?" Yi Xuan hurriedly said, last night Deshou just gave him a big gift, this person has to be honest, the future chairman of the company has always been praised in terms of business morality.

However, he did say this to Cixi's heart, Lafayette naturally understood the purpose of the traitor holding Deshou, although she also intellectually believed that Rong Lu's judgment of the strength of both sides must be right, but emotionally she could not accept this no matter what, Deshou himself was not worth mentioning, but if he was killed by the court, the consequences would be extremely serious, and the majesty of the court would be gone, but if Yang Feng is forced to execute Deshou according to the crime he convicted, then these things will all become stinky shit.

She was so worried that her head hurt now.

At this time, she vaguely seemed to hear the noise outside, she couldn't help but her face sank, Li Lianying hurriedly ran out, and it didn't take long for her to run back, and then said cautiously: Lafayette, Zhenguo Gong Zaizhen, and Fuguo Gong Bo Disu led the generals in the new army to ask for a meeting outside the palace gate, and asked Lafayette to give you an order, and they vowed to take the head of Yang Shun to pay tribute to Prince Heng's spirit in the sky. ”

The last time Yang Feng blew up the city of Beijing, Prince Heng Yusen was relatively close to the city wall, and even the shock wave of the explosion smashed the stones falling from the sky, making the good palace almost into ruins, and dozens of people were killed and injured in the family, especially one of the most beloved concubines was smashed into cakes by a big stone, Yusen himself was also injured, and as a result, he was injured with anger, and a burst of fire attacked the heart and followed Taizu Taizong directly.

"This little brute is too insignificant, so the old minister will go out and bring him to Lafayette to deal with." Yi Xuan hurriedly pretended to say.

"They are also loyal, speaking of which, these children can have this ambition, and it is not in vain to mourn their family and love them, you go out and tell them that the court will not compromise with the rebel minister, let them train well, and use them when they are useful." Cixi said with a pleasant face.

Yixuan hurriedly received the order and went out.

Rong Lu wanted to say something, but Cixi raised her hand to stop him.

"Zhonghua, the mourning family also knows that what you said makes sense, but now in this situation, the traitor has forced the court to the edge of the cliff, we have to not fight, this is not only a matter of the court's decency, but more importantly, our fundamental problem, that traitor is so fanfare, doesn't he just want to force us to do what he wants?

If the mourning family kills Deshou according to his wishes, even if it can be delayed for a while, the hearts of the people in this court will be scattered, and even if there are more soldiers at that time, no one will be loyal to us, what use can it be?" Cixi said earnestly, this old lady is not confused at all.

"I'm afraid that once there is an accident on the battlefield, then Yang is afraid that the minister will not dare to say anything!" Rong Lu lay on the ground and choked up.

"He has a weak foundation, he is not so bold, this kind of thing is not something that can be done simply with money and soldiers in his hands, if he, a second devil who has just appeared for less than two years, dares to openly rebel, even if he wins this Beijing city, then I am afraid that the world will be full of smoke. After all, apart from Fujian, Zhejiang, and Taiwan, is there any other place he can really control? Even Fujian, Zhejiang and Taiwan are controlled very reluctantly, otherwise there is no need to do such a thing as paying for running a school for free, and even his own nest has not been run well, how can he have the courage to reach out to other places, didn't he see that even Jiangxi was withdrawn? He was afraid that he would really have a conflict with Liu Kunyi. Cixi said with a sneer. (To be continued......)
