"Fang Boqian, I underestimated you!" Yang Lie's voice rang out suddenly.

"A Thousand Miles of Transmission!" Li Hongzhang felt a cold breath rushing from his tail vertebrae to the top of his head.

"Master Li, it's all in your thoughts!" After Yang Lie's voice finished speaking, he was silent again.

Fang Boqian was also taken aback, thinking that this was his own guess, he had overestimated Yang Lie's methods as much as possible, and finally underestimated it.

"Yang Dashuai? Yang Dashuai? Fang Boqian screamed a few times, and seeing that Yang Lie never replied, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, "Yang Dashuai may no longer pay attention to us...... What should we do? ”

Li Hongzhang sat there stunned, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, today's events had a great impact on him, a great ......

Fang Boqian said that he was asking us what to do, but in fact, he was forcing Li Hongzhang to make a choice.

War! There is no slight chance of winning; Peace, it is better to say that it is peace, it is better to say surrender; War or peace, that's the question.

"Yuting, what do you think?" After a long time, Li Hongzhang said slowly.

"This ......" Ding Ruchang opened his mouth, but finally did not speak.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it, and you're not guilty."

Ding Ruchang pondered for a long time, then stood up and said slowly: "How to choose the Lord Zhongtang, I don't make suggestions, I want to tell the Lord what Yang Lie once said. ”

"Speak!"

"Yang Lie said so, the world is not the imperial court!"

"The world, the imperial court ......" Li Hongzhang pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "Yuting, you still persuade me to surrender, I guess you think the same way......

"It's cooperation! Yang Lie is only militarily strong, and he can't do without Lord Zhongtang in terms of internal affairs......" Fang Boqian immediately licked his face and said, but he couldn't go on talking about it.

"Alas, it is clear that it is cooperation, but it is actually surrender...... After all, the gun is held in Yang Lie's hand......" Li Hongzhang sighed again, he found that he had sighed too much tonight, and it seemed that he had sighed all his life.

"Lord Zhongtang, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, Yang Lie is powerful, let's cooperate with him for the time being...... After all, Yang Lie has no one available in his hands, and he really can't do without Lord Zhongtang, besides...... Yang Lie is Han after all! Liu Buyun suddenly stepped forward and said coldly.

"Han Chinese? Are you sure? Li Hongzhang squinted his eyes slightly.

"Sure! And Yang Lie's subordinates are all Han Chinese, first-class good men! Liu Buyun said affirmatively, and then Liu Buyun's words changed: "Lord Zhongtang, Yang Lie also said that there is no absolute loyalty in this world, and the so-called absolute loyalty is just a bargaining chip for betrayal!" Lord Zhongtang is already a very human minister, humble and courageous, dare to ask Lord Zhongtang, what does Lord Zhongtang want in this life? ”

"For the sake of loyalty? I don't believe it, in the Battle of Dadonggou, we fought bravely against the Japanese, not for the Qing Dynasty; Nor for the emperor of the Forbidden City; It's not to embezzle our navy's military funds for the old lady's birthday...... We're for the whole world! The humble position especially recognized Yang Lie's words, the world is not the imperial court! ”

"Zixiang is cautious!"

"Didn't you get it by accident, can Lord Zhongtang remember what my generation said when I went to study in the Eagle Country?" Liu Buyun waved his hand and said loudly: "We are waiting to go to the West, we know China's plan for self-improvement, and we have nothing else to ask for." Carry the future of the country and take the science of foreigners. Go to 70,000 miles for a long time, say goodbye to the country of your motherland, and have no regrets. ”

"I, Liu Buyun, am for China's self-improvement, not for the Manchu Qing Dynasty! In the past, there was the grace of Lord Zhongtang, the net worth of hundreds of officials, and the Taoyuan discussion of colleagues, I Liu Buyun had no choice but to knock out my teeth and swallow it in my stomach, but now Yang Lie Yang Dashuai was born, so I Liu Buyun saw another way. ”

"What way?" Li Hongzhang squinted his eyes slightly and asked quietly.

"Oh my God! Under! Liu Buyun yelled word by word.

"Are you determined to go all the way with Yang Lie, and you want to rebel?" Li Hongzhang asked sharply.

"Lord Zhongtang underestimates my Liu Buyun's measurements, I mean the world, not only the land of China, but the ......" Liu Buyun suddenly looked up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle, opened his hands, as if embracing everything, and said in a condensed voice: "When I say the world, I mean the whole world!" ”

"The Great Eagle Empire is known as the Empire on which the sun never sets, and I hope that as long as there are people, it will be the world of my Shenzhou!"

"The world! Zixiang, you're crazy! Li Hongzhang was completely shocked by Liu Buyun's words.

"No, I'm not crazy, I'm sober, I'm very sober! I've never been so sober! It was impossible before, absolutely impossible, with the virtue of Cixi's old lady, he is a thousand defenses against us Han people, but Yang Lie is different, first of all, he is a Han person, and he is congenitally standing with us......"

"Secondly, as long as Lord Zhongtang cooperates with Yang Lie, Yang Lie will be the commander of the military and the commander-in-chief; In the middle hall, the lord is in charge of the people's livelihood; At that time, we will gather the strength of tens of thousands of people in our Shenzhou, with the same goal, the same action, the same resources, and the same guns, with the weapons and equipment of Yang Lie, plus our people, in this world, I can't imagine who will be our opponent! ”

"Even if the Westerners unite, they are not our opponents!" Liu Buyun's eyes were red, as if there was a fire burning.

"Zixiang, you're really crazy!"

"I'm not crazy! It's because we were too weak before, but today we have a chance to become stronger, I, Liu Buyun, will not let go of this opportunity if I say anything, Lord Zhongtang, Ding Junmen, and all my colleagues, how do you choose! ”

After Liu Buyun finished speaking, he stared at Li Hongzhang tightly like a tiger devouring people.

"Zixiang...... What would you do if I didn't surrender Yang Lie? Li Hongzhang still asked calmly.

"When the puppet is angry, blood splatters five steps!"

"Liu Zixiang, what do you want to do?" Ding Ruchang took a stride in front of Li Hongzhang and shouted angrily.

Liu Buyun did not speak, but slowly took out two Type 92 semi-automatic pistols from his arms.

"This is what Yang Lie instructed you to do? Even weapons for you? Ding Ruchang sneered, "It seems that I overestimated Yang Lie." ”

"Snort~" Liu Buyun sneered disdainfully, "This is what I asked Yang Lie Yang Dashuai for, besides, if Yang Lie wants to kill us, why wait until now, and don't you have long ears, don't you remember Yang Lie Yang Dashuai once said: With their military strength, is there any difference between us here, even in any corner of the world, and on the ship?" We have always been under Yang Lie's gun, in other words, we and even the two in the Forbidden City, their lives are in Yang Lie's hands. ”

After speaking, Liu Buyun threw the gun in his hand to Li Hongzhang, "Lord Zhongtang, choose, do you want to continue to lead us to cooperate with Yang Lie, or carry my head to ask the Qing court for credit?" ”
