Chapter 61: Slack
The first update
It is still the palace of nourishing the heart, but it is already the east side hall, there is a very comfortable sofa here, Qingyu and Xianfeng sit side by side, and opposite them sit Chery and Li Hongzhang, I don't know when, a Western-style reception room is arranged here, and Xianfeng no longer invites them back to eat, but drinks tea here.
Li Hongzhang looked at Qingyu's face and knew that Qingyu was very unhappy at this time. And he obviously has to be questioned properly.
"!" Li Hongzhang's ass really only sat on the edge of a sofa, and he could feel the beads of sweat on his back.
"Why people have been preparing for so long, none of us knows." Qingyu didn't bother to talk nonsense with them, her face darkened, and she said coldly. They had a powerful intelligence system, even in the embassy where they were emaging, there were a lot of intelligence officers, and now they told her that several coalition forces were coming, and they didn't know anything about their opponents.
"Niangniang, it's a small one who didn't let Li Hongzhang report. We're doing intelligence analysis. It's just that we were careless, and we didn't expect that this time they would want to use war to solve the problem of the trade deficit. Chery knew what Qingyu was asking, so he leaned over and said in a deep voice.
"Is there anything concrete? Now that we know their purpose, should there be a targeted investigation? Qingyu waved her hand, it had come to this, knowing that it was not the intelligence system that had a problem, then it would have to be rearranged.
"Yes, or Britain and France, of course, mainly, France. In recent years, France has been very unpeaceful, and if there is nothing to do, the economic situation is very bad, and now they want to divert the contradictions in the country. And Britain is really because of the trade deficit. Now what we want to buy, they don't dare to sell. The domestic controversy is very large. Li Hongzhang cheered up and said hurriedly.
"The rest is just trying to take advantage of the fire? The last time Britain didn't let go of a shot, they still dared to join? Qingyu frowned.
"This time, Britain hastily transferred a large number of warships from India, and those people are quite bloody. I heard that some Indian natives were also recruited! Li Hongzhang is not optimistic.
"Find out the number of people, the goal. There is also the need for them to pay attention to hiding themselves. There is no need for a map of the distribution of troops, just look up the names of the British and French managers. ”
Qingyu lowered her head and thought, she has watched so many spy TV series, and what she is most curious about is why she has to steal the original? Just take a look at the key points, and the rest is not impossible to analyze. In this way, things can be quickly concluded, why sacrifice people to do useless work.
"They know that!" Li Hongzhang smiled, these were said during the training, the imperial court trained them, but it cost a lot of money, and it was more than enough to reshape them with gold. Therefore, their very existence is the wealth of the imperial court. The imperial court cannot afford to sacrifice, so they must learn to use their brains and try to analyze information as much as possible, rather than stealing it.
Over the years, they have done a very good job, although this time, they have reported back the corresponding analysis data, but the court has been comfortable for too long, and has forgotten that danger has always been around. At this time, they can only rejoice that when they received the information at that time, they did not say that your analysis was wrong. Otherwise, now they are a joke.
"Get ready, it's a big national exercise!" Qingyu smiled and let out a long sigh of relief.
"You're not worried?" Chery looked at Qingyu, as if from just now to now, what she showed was calm acceptance, and it seemed that she had rehearsed countless times in her mind, quietly arranging everything. And at this point, she is even relaxed.
"I said that I fell into my heart, will you think I'm hypocritical?" Qingyu raised her eyebrows.
"I should say, do you want to say that we never knew to be prepared for danger in times of peace?" Chery was a little unhappy.
"Are you?" Qingyu withdrew her smile and looked at Chery's eyes fixedly.
"Yes! We almost made a mistake this time. Chery got up and knelt down in front of Xianfeng.
"Okay, you're different from me and Niangniang, we're always keeping an eye on these powers. In fact, since there was a trade deficit between us, Niang Niang had already begun to tell me that it seemed that there would be a war. Now that the second boot has finally fallen, even I feel relieved. Xianfeng helped him up with his own hands, "Over the years, making the country rich and the people strong has been the biggest role, if it weren't for your efforts, how dare I fight with Niangniang!" ”
Qingyu looked at Xianfeng, pursed her lips and laughed. These words, when she was in the world, she said it slipperily, an expert in managing human resources, this kind of wise and effortless kind words, really came out of her mouth. But after being a queen for nearly ten years, she is almost used to everything being supported by Xianfeng, so she seems to be getting bolder and bolder, and she is not polite.
"I'm wrong?" Xianfeng couldn't help but smile when he saw his wife's expression.
"No, it's the concubine's mistake! Strange-sama, Mr. Li, I'm sorry! Qingyu smiled and looked back at Chery and Li Hongzhang.
She didn't say that it was okay, but as soon as she said it, the two of them could only stand up again, one knee on the ground, "The slave (minister) doesn't dare!" ”
Qingyu spread her hands to Xianfeng! Xianfeng laughed, and helped them up again with both hands, "You are really, what is the character of the mother, it's not that you don't know, and she was caught narrow." ”
"Okay, don't embarrass you, it's still the same sentence, this time, it's time to test our strength, we wait for work, if we really lose, it's not me and the emperor who die." Qingyu withdrew her smile and looked up at Chery lightly.
Chery and Li Hongzhang were cold and retreated silently.
"Is Niang Niang going to kill someone?"
"If she told us that, it wasn't us who wanted to kill, but ......" Chery looked up at the sky.
Qingyu once said that they are just working hard, and they don't care what they can become. It doesn't matter if they lose to the ground, for the couple, they have worked hard. It's not them who die, it's the country. If they lose, they lose the whole country, and then what? They may just take their children and leave, the world is big, they can let go of everything.
Of course, Li Hongzhang didn't know what Chery was thinking, he thought it would be a river of blood, but if he really lost, it would have been a river of blood. If the soldiers dare not shed blood on the battlefield, then they can only come back and be cut down. Think about it, it's better to go back and send a telegram to your cronies, and you can't take a step back.
When Chery went back, he asked Guixi to take people to the Northeast. He is not worried about the troops in the northeast, but about the seventh master who is in charge. Years ago, he felt that the Seventh Master was wrong, and he paid far more attention to the Seventh Master than those powers. And he noticed that there was one more strategist in the Seventh Master's Mansion, and that was once the henchman of the sixth henchman who was already a common man.
