When the emperor was talking, a eunuch walked in in a hurry, Chen Shengwen took the telegram in his hand and handed it to the emperor, the emperor took it and opened it, and then slapped the table, "Russians, so bold!" ”

"The Russian fleet is not only in Temple Street, but now there are cavalry and infantry in the area of the Udi River?" Li Ciming frowned and asked. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Weng Tonggong nodded, at this time, it was in the office of the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites outside the gate of the Old Summer Palace, in Weng Tonggong's duty room, after Weng Tonggong recovered, he served as the position of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, this day he made a post to invite Li Ciming to come to the western suburbs for a while, and the news from the military aircraft department was carefully said to Li Ciming, "Chunke, you say, this matter comes out, what should I do?" ”

"What to do is naturally the bosses of the court thinking about it, why did the boss ask me." Li Ciming said with a smile.

"Why should you be humble?" Weng Tongyi said with a smile, "You are a talented person in Yuezhong, and you have been trained under the curtain of Zhou Xiangguo in the past, if you hadn't been promoted to a person, and you couldn't look down on me, I would have to recruit you." ”

Li Ciming shook his head slightly, "What kind of talent am I, now I am about to reach the age of not being confused, but I can't get into a jinshi." ”

"You just don't want to give in," Weng Tongyi said indifferently, "If you change your mind and routine, it will be easy for Zhongjinshi to do it." ”

Li Ciming was slightly distracted, then came back to his senses, and said to Weng Tongyi, "The old man is the emperor of the first emperor, and he is also the leader of the Qingliu, how can he be so humble, the old man reads the book, and the student doesn't come immediately?" ”

"Don't talk about this," Weng Tongyi said with a smile, "I didn't ask you about this matter, it's just that Li Baoding Gong is still in the military aircraft department, dealing with this matter, and he can't get out." Therefore, I just sent someone to ask me, I thought about it, and the position of Kong Ming in this ovary can only be for you. ”

Li Ciming stood up and paced slowly. The folding fan in the hand has been waved for a while, the houses near the left of the Old Summer Palace are all excellent gardens, and this is naturally no exception, the scenery outside the signing room is beautiful, although the pattern is not magnificent in the Old Summer Palace. But the willow silk is long, the Taihu Lake stone rockery is strange and magnificent, the small bridge is flowing water, the horse head wall is stilted, and there is a beautiful and quiet style of the Jiangnan garden, Li Ciming has no intention of watching, just lowered his head and thought hard, "The Russians appeared in Jilin, needless to say, this force is naturally nothing." It's just that the northeast is the land of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty, and the land is vast and unattended, but it has to be taken care of, so the imperial court must not take it lightly," Li Ciming stood still, turned around and said to Weng Tongyong, "There must be a big move!" ”

"What do you think is a big move?"

"It's nothing more than two, this first one, naturally it's a declaration of war!"

。。。。

"A declaration of war?" Zeng Guofan returned to the imperial mansion and had just changed into his court clothes. Rong Lu came to visit, he never attended the court meeting, and the emperor rarely joined in the fun, so these news were nowhere to be known. After thinking about it, it is better to ask his old superiors, Rong Lu asked Zeng Guofan, who was wearing a blue coarse cloth robe, "Lord Zhongtang, what does the court mean next?" Is it hard to go to war? ”

"At war?" Zeng Guofan smiled slightly, "How can Zhonghua see it?" ”

"Outside the gate is the land of Longxing, where the Holy Ancestor Emperor and Russia have fought several bloody battles. The land in the northeast is not allowed to give up an inch of land, and now only the land to be determined by the Nebuchu Treaty is left, and the rest of the land has been clearly divided as early as the first emperor's reign, and the dividing line of the northeast is clear, and this is still Qinghai Shangshu's envoy to Russia in the past to negotiate," Rong Lu said, "Now that the Russians dare to do something here, the government and the opposition will naturally refuse." ”

If the center does not move again, it will be ridiculed by the world.

"Zhonghua, you have never been a person who is obsessed with fame and fortune," Zeng Guofan said with a smile, "Why are you so excited today, and you still come to the old man to inquire about the news." ”

"Zhongtang Mingjian," Rong Lu sat down, his eyes were clear, and he talked eloquently, "The military attachés who went out of the Wutang and Fengtai camps, counting, the lower officials are extremely clear, the war in the north is not effective, and the lower officials are very worried, but they are not afraid that they will die there - for the generals, the horse leather shroud is normal, but the martial arts hall has been established for many years, in addition to the domestic counterinsurgency, it is the first time to go out to fight, if this battle is not smooth, the lower officials themselves do not need to say, even the two brands of the martial arts hall and the new army will be lost, which is unreasonable, Therefore, although Xia Guan is in the Fengtai camp these days, he has always remembered the north. ”

"Moreover, after the German military attache came to the Fengtai camp as a training officer, the military appearance was different from the past, but because of this, going to Kulen and the old Eight Banners Green Battalion were mixed together, which must be unsuitable, and the German military attache strongly demanded that he must go to Mongolia in person and fight against Russia with the latest Western combat methods." Rong Lu said, "Several people have been asking for it, and the lower officials don't want to do it, the situation in the north is stalemate, and I am really anxious." ”

"Then Wu Yundi is the same?" Zeng Guofan said.

"Yes, General Wu and Xia Guan are the same, so Xia Guan came to Lord Zhongtang and asked what Chaozhong meant," Rong Lu said, "General Wu can't wait, and he has already folded at this time." ”

Zeng Guofan's white eyebrows moved, "The meaning of the center, I don't know now, whether it is to declare war, Zhonghua, if it is a declaration of war, but it is not as easy as it is now, I am not saying that the war in the north is easy, but the arrangement of the DPRK and China, the external actions of the Prime Minister's Yamen, these can be busy to deal with, now we can put on a posture that the local governor does not listen to the command, the vassal does not listen to the order, acts without authorization, and has nothing to do with the imperial court, if it is a declaration of war, the situation is completely different." ”

"Prince Gong's attitude is ambiguous," Zeng Guofan sighed, this Prince Gong will never have his own opinions, or his political views are not assertive, and there is nothing wrong with Guangtongchen Taiji pushing hands to govern the country, but if it is like this, it will inevitably lose its sharpness when dealing with foreigners, "Bao Jun faintly has the meaning of pushing, I know what he means, I don't know the price of oil and salt, now that there are results, just keep it, while there is nothing big in the Northeast, it doesn't hurt to let it go first, other people, Li Hongzao spoke tougher, and Wen Xiang asked Prime Minister Yamen to continue consultations with the Russians to see if there could be any progress in diplomacy. Cézanne, hehe, in the end he is clever, when he saw that the emperor was in a bad mood, he jumped up, and followed the emperor's tone, and he must ask for war. (To be continued.) )
