"It's not quiet in the north and south." Li Hongzhang said after putting down the teacup in his hand.

"In fact, the most unpeaceful thing is in Zhili, the sky is going to change, the conflict between the emperor and the queen is about to break out, and there is no need for this Chinese land to become the private property of a family with one surname." Zhang Peilun said calmly.

"Don't you become the private property of a family with one surname?" Li Hongzhang said to himself, this is not the first time he has heard of this point of view, but he still has something to ask: "Then how should the world be governed?" Learn that English France? How to ensure that after this incident, it is just a new dynasty? ”

"Then Lord Zhongtang, what do you think is the surname of this dynasty?" Regarding Li Hongzhang's words, Zhang Peilun didn't understand a little.

"Who has the final say in this Beiyang?" Li Hongzhang asked.

"Whoever says it doesn't count, but whoever says it counts." After being stunned for a while, Zhang Peilun said thoughtfully. Li Hongzhang's meaning is very clear, it is not difficult to change the sky, but after the change, how to coordinate the interests of all parties, can it really avoid the re-emergence of a new dynasty? In the end, if he made a wedding dress for Xu Jie, Li Hongzhang would be a little unwilling, Li Hongzhang is now nominally the boss of Beiyang, but in fact, the weight of the old Beiyang he represents in the entire Beiyang system has become lower and lower. Even those who perform well and are promoted in the system are slowly changing, and their thinking is getting closer and closer to those newcomers, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is new wine in old bottles, and Zhang Peilun has been prepared for Li Hongzhang's worries.

"What do you mean?" Li Hongzhang also thought about it a little, but decided to ask again. This question, he wants to ask Zhang Peilun, and once Xu Jie arrives, he will ask Xu Jie!

"Everyone can express their opinions, and decisions are made in the interests of all. It's not completely fair, but it's much better than getting some people to tell their word. What's more, now everyone has a common goal. Everyone is acting around this goal, and there will not be much disagreement. Zhang Peilun said.

"A common goal?" Li Hongzhang was noncommittal, but simply repeated.

"Lord Nakado. There are a few questions under him, and I don't know if I can point out one or two. Saying that, Zhang Peilun bowed down, and after looking at Li Hongzhang and nodded, Zhang Peilun let out a sigh of relief and stood up straight.

"Lord Nakado. What do you think Lord Liu, Lord Xu and all the things you are trying to do? For power or for money? Zhang Peilun asked.

"If it is for the sake of power, once a new government is formed, even if it can become the center, but at the same time, it will also be subject to all aspects of constraints, which is far less comfortable than the current local hegemony. The current situation is that the central government cannot close the locality, and the local governor can control everything. It's not about money, if you want money, you can get enough money by investing in industry and commerce. That's faster than embezzlement! And Liu Mingchuan and others are not this kind of people. Li Hongzhang thought for a long time and said.

"What does Nakado-sama think is the common goal of all the adults?" Zhang Peilun continued to ask.

"I once heard Jishi say that everything he wants is for the country and the nation. And you have also said that this country is not only the emperor's or the queen's, but also the billions of people. Li Hongzhang finally understood Zhang Peilun's purpose, Zhang Peilun wanted to put pressure on Li Hongzhang through the fate of the country and the nation! And this pressure. Li Hongzhang can't avoid it, he can't defend himself with the idea of feudal science, not to mention that Li Hongzhang himself will be very uninterested in that set of things now.

"Lord Zhongtang, now that the land of China is in crisis, the great powers are feeding, if you let any corrupt court act recklessly. Then I have really reached the situation of destroying the country and exterminating the species, although in the first year of the first year, we Beiyang defeated Japan, but Japan is finished, and Germany has come again, I wonder if Lord Lu Dao Zhongtang can be sure to fight against the whole of Russia with a corner of the land? Zhang Peilun said solemnly. …,

"The teacher is nameless, what can I do?" Li Hongzhang could not find a suitable excuse to refute the other party, won the war against Japan, and made Beiyang rise to the top in terms of prestige and power, and gradually gained an overwhelming advantage in the whole country. But if it fails, everything you have achieved will become floating clouds, and you can't even return to the strong vassal that was the center of Yishun before the first day! Once it fails, this blow will definitely not only come from the enemy's blow to Beiyang, and at the same time, the center will not tolerate such a Beiyang existence, it is common for rabbits and dead dogs to cook birds and hide their bows, for this powerful Beiyang, and at the same time has shown disobedience, the center will definitely not be soft, so from this point of view, Li Hongzhang can't be a Shunmin even if he wants to!

"The emperor has joined forces with the Russians, and they plan to deal with the queen mother together, if the Russians don't ask for it, I'm afraid no one will believe it." Zhang Peilun said pointedly.

"This division is famous, but once this center is chaotic, or it is gone, how can the situation in the whole country be controlled? In terms of military affairs, I am not as good as Xu Jie, but I also know that if there is no unified government, this logistics and overall situation will be a very big trouble! Li Hongzhang said that what he wants to know now is that once an accident happens, how high the odds are for Beiyang to win!

"In the event of an incident, the Russians will inevitably take advantage of the situation. Under such circumstances, the provinces under which Beiyang belongs will immediately implement military control and concentrate the main forces to support the battle in the northeast. The residual force is used to center and suppress other hostile forces. As long as we win the battle in Beiyang, they will agree to form a coalition government if the center is of course gone, and if we can leave some power for other forces. Zhang Peilun said.

"And then? The Russians will come again after this failure, and a considerable part of the purpose of the Far Eastern Railway is aimed at our country, and now the Russians are trapped in logistics and cannot fully exert their strength, so once the railway is opened, we will have to face the Russian Empire, which is broader than the Qing State. Li Hongzhang asked.

"So we have to overthrow this court as soon as possible, we need to seize all the time to arm ourselves, and then we can win in the face of the Russian attack. China's China is no worse than any country, what is lacking is a reasonable political system, an open and inclusive ideological atmosphere, and a high-spirited and unyielding spirit. It's man-made, we have to be fast! After speaking, Zhang Peilun leaned over and said.

"In that case, you've all discussed it, and you're still asking me what I'm doing?" Li Hongzhang said with a little loss.

"After all, Beiyang was established by you, and in case of major events, you still need to make a decision and plan from Lord Zhongtang. Ji Shi will soon come to Tianjin in person to report this matter to Lord Zhongtang. Seeing that Li Hongzhang finally acquiesced, Zhang Peilun said happily.

"In that case, let's wait for Jishi to come and then arrange it in detail." After Li Hongzhang finished speaking, he waved his hand to signal that he wanted to rest. Then Zhang Peilun withdrew from the house, allowing Li Hongzhang to slowly understand the pros and cons.
