When the secret envoy of the Hou Party sent the secret letter written by Cixi to Li Hongzhang, Xu Jie also arrived in Tianjin by boat, and lived in the Jingangqiao Zhili Governor's Mansion It can be said that Xu Jie's entire plan has entered the substantive implementation stage, as long as Li Hongzhang's approval and support can be fully launched, so Xu Jie must come to Tianjin and finally reach an agreement with Li Hongzhang! Only in this way can the entire plan be implemented.

And when this superstition of Li Hongzhang to be crowned king and tear the soil fell into Xu Jie's eyes after this Cixi agreement was completed, Xu Jie couldn't help but smile slightly, he felt that he was about to win, and both the Hou Party and the Imperial Party had used up the most potential of the Emperor. In order to succeed, Guangxu even did not hesitate to sell his sovereignty and join forces with the Russians. And in order to succeed, Cixi was forced to ask Li Hongzhang for help, as for the so-called king, both Xu Jie and Li Hongzhang laughed at it. For the Qing government, which would rather give foreigners and not be a slave, both Cixi and Guangxu regarded Li Hongzhang as a tool, if Cixi really won, I am afraid that what awaits Li Hongzhang is not the king but the endless cutting of the feudal domain or even the butcher's knife dripping with blood!

"Jishi, did you already plan for today when you returned to China?" Li Hongzhang looked at Xu Jie and said.

In fact, what the students plan and what the middle hall plans are the same, but enrich the country and strengthen the army, so that the country will not be bullied by the foreign powers. The people can live and work in peace and contentment, the difference is only the difference in their attitude towards the imperial court. Xu Jie did not answer directly, but sought common ground while reserving differences, looking for common ground between the two sides.

"As early as 1880, Lord Nakado proposed various reforms, but all of them were hindered by the central center of the Manchu court. By 1890, the situation had reached a difficult point, and the middle hall was freed from this confinement. Only then did our Beiyang gain a glimmer of life in the First Sino-Japanese War. Looking at the silent Li Hongzhang, Xu Jie said.

"Okay, Hou Sheng, don't persuade the old man anymore, I, Li Hongzhang, did this thing. The old man assisted him to love the Xinjueluo family for decades. But I still can't help Adou. In this way, I will not let hundreds of millions of Chinese people be buried for one family and one surname. Li Hongzhang let out a long breath and said, and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed in his heart.

"Let's talk about it now. What should we do about the secret letter of the Queen Mother? Li Hongzhang brought up today's topic.

"When necessary, we still have to be hypocritical, and Beiyang must also prepare. It's not that I'm afraid that I won't be able to clean up the two in the Forbidden City, but we have to prepare to fight the Russians, whether Guangxu launched a coup d'état in advance to overthrow Cixi, or Cixi jumped over the wall in a hurry, it will not be good for us. Zhang Peilun on the side said coldly.

"It's not just about vanity and wrongdoing, we not only want to let the emperor and queen fight for both sides, but also fundamentally exhaust the last bit of strength in the center! After the consumption of both sides, it is time for us to reap the benefits. Xu Jie said.

"How? Let's take it into detail. Although Li Hongzhang has some nostalgia for the center, once he decides to start an incident, he is also unambiguous.

"Cixi asked Beiyang to provide arms. I Beiyang can naturally provide a part, of course, the price must be higher, those princes and ministers looted wealth and cannot be destroyed with them. Not only that, but we can even provide the post-party with the convenience of military training. Yuan Shikai still has some skills in military training, if the first wave of the post-party can't hold on, our drama will not be easy to perform! Xu Jie said.

"Not only weapons, but also Beiyang can properly release this personnel, Cixi has raised soldiers to the extent that she can't even let go of her family, and the rear party of this province will definitely support. Rather than vigorously cleaning up the Beiyang after the accident, it is better to wipe out the two parties of the emperor and queen as soon as possible! Once the new army in the south arrived, part of it directly supported the northeast, and the other part cooperated with the Zhili garrison to wipe out all the two parties of the emperor and queen! Xu Jie put his plan together. …,

"I'm afraid this is not enough, we must let the whole thing go according to our schedule, we must influence as much as possible the timing of the war between the emperor and the queen, and even the armament process of the Russians. In a word, we are going to wage war before the enemy is ready. Xu Jie's eyes showed a hint of decisiveness.

"Influencing the course of armaments of the Russians? How? Li Hongzhang said with some suspicion.

"It's up to the Japanese to perform. We need them to challenge the Russians at the right time. Of course, this challenge could come from the Japanese army, or from the colonial uprising, as long as it could contain the Russians' forces so that they could not concentrate their forces in the event of war. Xu Jie said.

"I'm afraid it's not so easy for the Japanese to follow our orders." Li Hongzhang frowned slightly.

"Even if the Japanese know what Beiyang wants, they can't refuse, to a certain extent, they will be more active than us in confronting the Russians, even if Beiyang doesn't help, they have to fight the Russians, and with the current situation, the Japanese have no reason to refuse." Zhang Peilun was not too nervous about this.

"Zhang Youqiao, what you think is too simple! The Japanese also know the way of the fisherman, and the Japanese also know the way, I am afraid that the Japanese government at this time also wants to suddenly attack after the fight between Beiyang and Russia. Li Hongzhang said with a little dissatisfaction, Zhang Peilun can't say that he is not talented, but in the overall situation, he has always been a lot worse.

"So, we need some means to force the Japanese to act. The Japanese government can be indifferent, but the Japanese people can't just endure the atrocities of the Russians, so we can fan the flames! Then use public opinion to kidnap the Japanese government. Let them be forced to do what we want them to do. And now, the high-handed policy of the Russians in the occupied territories does provide us with more than enough opportunities and excuses. After Xu Jie finished speaking, he sent a few points to Li Hongzhang.

"So, this time we are calculating not only the Manchu court, but also the Russians and the Japanese?" After a while, Zhang Peilun glanced at Xu Jie and said.

"All three are our enemies, but some things need to be dealt with now, and some may become hidden dangers in the future! In the Far East, there can only be one great power standing in the east of the world, and this country can only be China, Russia from Europe will let him go back, and Japan, which must become a vassal of China, and as for the British and French, they are only objects that we can now use. Xu Jie said.

"These are too far away, let's do what is in front of us first, when will the Japanese start to act?" Li Hongzhang asked.

"Now that it has begun, a lot of weapons and equipment have been shipped to Japan through various channels. As long as Nakado-sama gives the order, it will be fully launched within a week. Xu Jie said a little proudly.

"Don't rush first, let's take some small actions to refresh the Russians, and the real big operation, we will start after the war!" Li Hongzhang nodded with satisfaction.
