Burblon beat the side drum: "This is Russia's usual method, nominally protection, when the time is ripe, he will include these places in Russia's territory, Russia has already annexed dozens of principalities by this means, if His Majesty wants to keep the northeast, it is bound to start a war with Russia, this is the best time, after all, the Crimean War is not always encountered, and Russia is not always so stupid." ”

Li Yunzhong's eyes rolled twice, and he suddenly laughed: "It's not impossible for the Han State to participate in the war, but it must wait until the whole country is unified, after all, I don't want to be scolded for being a reckless soldier, and there is only the Hunan army in China." ”

Bao Ling immediately shook his head, frowned again and said, "This is not good, as far as I know, there are still many provinces in China that obey the Qing State. Just like the Northeast, Mongolia, Xinjiang, Gansu, Tibet, and other regions, if His Majesty had waited until these places to capture these places before sending troops, the Crimean War would have ended long ago! ”

Bourblon echoed: "We can't wait so long, we hope that His Majesty can send troops immediately, although the Han army is only equivalent to the third-rate army in Europe, but it is still possible to contain part of Russia's strength." ”

Speaking of the combat effectiveness of the Han army, Li Yunzhong defended: "I think you are wrong, the strength of the Han army has been greatly improved, and after a year, our army can be redressed, and the combat effectiveness can be maintained at the level of the Russian army." ”

Bourblon sneered for a while, he still thought that the Han army was at the level of three years ago, seeing Li Yunzhong's angry eyes, he shrugged his shoulders and said: "For the sake of fairness, when we send troops, we will send observers to assess the combat strength of the Han army, if it reaches the first-class level in Europe, we can negotiate at a high level." Of course, I don't think it's possible, if the Han army is at the second-rate level of European armies. We will commit to the corresponding terms, which of course are much better than the third-rate. ”

Li Yunzhong nodded in agreement. added: "I have received accurate information that the United States and Britain have been supporting the Hunan army behind their backs!" ”

Speaking of this, Li Yunzhong deliberately stopped and did not say, according to Zhao Laoqi's intelligence, the Hunan army has the support of Britain, the United States, and France behind it, and the only way to annihilate the Hunan army is to cut off their foreign aid, and the Hunan army has no bullets in muskets and artillery without shells, how can the Hunan army still fight. Under the deterrence of the Han army, surrender was a matter of time.

Bao Ling turned his head and looked out the window, feeling dazed, he submitted a report to the prime minister on the Far East a few months ago, the core content of which was to support the Hunan army, delay the reunification of the Han State, and use this time to support Japan. Thoroughly contain China's power.

Ay! Bao Ling sighed secretly, if the Crimean War is fought for one more day, Britain will have to bear astronomical military spending, if this situation is reported to Parliament. These capitalists will not hesitate to abandon the Hunan army and throw themselves into the Han Kingdom.

Bao Ling and Bourblon glanced at each other and nodded.

Bourblon was most anxious. The war was fought by France to induce Britain into the war, and France, of course, was used as the main force. His Majesty Napoleon had already assembled 400,000 troops, several times more than the British.

Li Yunzhong continued: "If you cut off the supply of military supplies to the Hunan army. And join the side of the Han state, and I promise in my name that I will join the war in the Crimea. ”

Bao Ling first nodded, then shook his head and said, "We will not join China's civil war, let alone send troops to attack the Hunan army." ”

Seeing that he misunderstood, Li Yunzhong immediately explained: "Of course I won't let you send troops, you only need to threaten Zeng Guofan a few words, you must know that if China is unified one day earlier, the Han army can join the war one day earlier, and Britain can also avoid some losses, which is completely a matter of your willingness." ”

Bao Lingqiu asked, "Are you sure you can join the war immediately?" ”

Bourblon nodded and repeated: "That is, after the Han State defeated the Hunan army, it immediately joined the war and attacked according to the route we had drawn in Lu. ”

Li Yunzhong glanced at them with disdain, and said: "It is certain to join the war, of course I will not do what you say, you must know that when Moscow receives the news of China's entry into the war, it will definitely send most of its men and horses to Siberia to garrison, and without a single shot, your pressure will be reduced a lot, not to mention after the war!" ”

Bao Ling finally showed a sincere smile and replied: "Happy cooperation!" When I arrive in Shanghai, I will prepare a copy of the contract as soon as possible, and wish you an early reunification of your country. ”

Li Yunzhong replied: "Happy cooperation! ”

After negotiating the specific conditions, several people dispersed, for this conversation, Li Yunzhong was a little complacent, and returned to the box where Su Sanniang and the others were with a smile.

Hong Xuanjiao got up and said, "What is the emperor's happy event?" ”

Li Yunzhong hurriedly said what he had just said, and before he was halfway through the conversation, he saw the reluctant ignorance of the women, and became interested again, they didn't even know where Crimea was, and they pretended to like it very much, didn't they deliberately cater to me!

"That's about it, let's talk about something else!" Li Yunzhong said it briefly.

Fu Shanxiang couldn't ask for it, and immediately continued: "Your Majesty, the concubine wants to learn Western studies, and the concubine also wants to know why the train can run so fast without a horse, why does the train travel along the tracks, and why doesn't the train fall?" ”

Li Yunzhong didn't feel anything, and immediately allowed: "I will find a few Western teachers, but you had better study in the palace, lest the ministers catch it and compete for advice." ”

Xu Yuexiang threw over and grabbed Li Yunzhong's arm, raised her head and asked, "Husband, is there anything fun in Shanghai?" I heard in the newspaper that Shanghai is full of gold, let's go pick up a few pieces. ”

"Haha Li Yunzhong held his waist and smiled, pinched her face and quipped: "Shanghai is full of gold? Ha Lu Ha ...... Then it's your turn to pick up, the two million people living in Shanghai, not to mention the gold and copper coins, there is not a single one left! ”

Xu Yuexiang was puzzled, frowned and replied, "But...... I...... That's what it says in the newspaper! ”

Fu Shanxiang glanced at the delicate Xu Yuexiang, pursed his lips and smiled: "That's all exaggerated, just like the emperor preached the Northern Expedition of a million soldiers and horses, and the Northern Expeditionary Army was only called more than 200,000, how could there be so many millions." ”

Only then did Xu Yuexiang come to her senses, she made a joke, and complained with a red face: "These literati really don't know what to do, and they brag in the newspaper, isn't this specifically misleading people's children!" ”

Seeing Xu Yuexiang's self-conscious appearance, Li Yunzhong put away the topic and said: "There are many foreigners in Shanghai, even Japan, India, Vietnam, Myanmar and other countries. ”

Hong Xuanjiao frustrated her palms, made a posture of showing off her might, and said, "Auntie...... The concubines haven't used force for a long time, just use them to practice their hands, don't worry, I protect a few sisters, who dares to be presumptuous! ”

Xu Yuexiang also raised her head and smiled: "I don't need my sister's protection!" My sister's kung fu is still as good as mine, so I should protect it. ”

Su Sanniang was interested, and seeing that Li Yunzhong was smiling silently on the side, she also joined in, and said with a smile: "Then let's compete to see who is better." ”

Li Yunzhong then remembered that his wife was a character who was not easy to mess with, so he pulled Xu Yuexiang, who was eager to try, and interrupted: "This place is too small to be suitable for martial arts competitions, sit down quickly, the train is very dangerous." ”

Su Sanniang and the others had never been on the train, so they immediately turned around and sat down when they heard the words, putting on a serious appearance, but their eyes were rolling around.

Li Yunzhong looked around and found that there were a few people missing, so he asked casually: "Where did Luan Xiang and Shuying go, why haven't you seen them for so long?" ”

Su Sanniang glanced back, and said, "Sister Fu is not feeling well, so I will go back to rest first, Sister Chang is taking care of her, do you want to visit my husband." ”

Li Yunzhong looked at the appearance of several women, how dare he agree, and said while shaking his head: "Since Luan Xiang is resting, I won't bother, by the way, I heard that Shuying has been to Shanghai, you should take her with you when you travel, so as not to find a way back." ”

As soon as the girls heard it, they understood what Li Yunzhong meant, didn't this mean that they should get along well together, and they also put it up in a roundabout way. (To be continued......)
