Forty-four, the victory of the paper bridge (4)

"In the future, if the Black Flag Army is useless, just let Tang Jingsong return north, or if the Black Flag Army has any intentions, it will be handed over to the French to deal with, and we will wait and see. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info," Li Hongzao said.

Li Hongzao's words suddenly made everyone pay attention to it, could it be that Li Hongzao actually jumped out and put Prince Gong right? Zuo Zongtang was very surprised, you must know that a few days ago, for Zhang Peilun's appointment as the Minister of Nanyang Shipping, the two sides came together to give themselves a good look, and squeezed Wu Changqing down, how did he change his temper today, his mind was spinning like thunder and lightning, only to hear Li Hongzao continue, "The Black Flag Army can completely annihilate the legal person, presumably the legal person is just a paper tiger, my Yang Tianz Dynasty is now strong, why be afraid!" If the legal person is disrespectful, he can naturally use the soldiers to teach him a lesson! ”

"The strongest of the French lies in their navy," Bao Jun shook his head, "the generals are useless, if there is a conflict with the French at sea, I am afraid that there will be no peace in the sea and the frontier!" ”

"There will never be peace in the sea and frontier? Pei Gong, this is ridiculous, is it possible that the Nanyang and Beiyang sailors are just decorations? Li Hongzao said, "The silver thrown down for so many years is only afraid of 10,000,000 taels, so much silver goes down, if the French act recklessly on the sea frontier, then I am afraid that this sailor does not need to exist, it is better to avoid it as soon as possible." ”

Prince Gong secretly complained in his heart that Bao Jun was really a pig teammate, what to do when he mentioned this, the most important thing now is to talk about Vietnam, and he didn't accept Li Hongzao's words, of course, he was very disgusted by Li Hongzao's backsliding attitude, "What will happen to the future of Vietnam, please ask the Queen Mother to judge, the matter of Suez Canal shares needs to be negotiated quickly, otherwise the reform of the Eight Banners will not be done well." ”

"We have to continue to talk to the French about Vietnam." The Empress Dowager Cixi said slowly behind the curtain, "It's up to you to grasp this matter, but Tang Jingsong, I mean, also asked him to bring a copy of Tang Jingsong's fold in Vietnam, Xiao Lizi." ”

"There is no external defense, the time is sized, the force stops, and finally there is no help. Vietnam is at a loss, and China is very sorry! There is a convenient plan for the ministers to steal and save Vietnam, and if Vietnam exists, Yunnan and Guangdong will also be solid. Empress Dowager Cixi read Tang Jingsong's fold, "Liu Yongfu is a person who is fearful of the enemy, recommended by Xinjiang officials, and his subordinates are all brave and good at fighting, since they are Chinese, how can they sink into a foreign land?" Looking at his overstepping his duties and wearing gorgeous clothes, he knows that he does not forget China, and has the heart to admire famous weapons. Hearing that he repeatedly wants to return to sincerity, there is no Ruth. If you take an official position, or give a title of power, you will be excited. ”

The ministers were listening carefully, without saying a word, "Of course, these can't be talked about yet," the Empress Dowager Cixi put down, "and it's not time to say that Liu Yongfu has an official position, but since they act like this, they also have the heart to serve the country, and the French naturally want to talk to them, but we can naturally use some small means, the French are arrogant, nothing more than frequent good news in Vietnam, and now needless to say, it is natural to be a man with his tail between his legs, and the victory of the Black Flag Army can also put pressure on the French, and it is easy to talk about the affairs of Vietnam, Tang Jingsong got there, Inspiring things can be done naturally, other things, without the will of the Military Aircraft Department, even if you agree, you don't count, now it is rare to have a big victory, the people are excited, if there is a derogatory meaning, it is like a hot fire pouring cold water, it must be inappropriate, and foreigners can negotiate peace, and it is not by lip service can win, the king of the government," the Empress Dowager Cixi said softly, "The matter of the Black Flag Army and Tang Jingsong, you don't have to bother, the government is busy, you can't leave you for a while, it's just a matter of a small vassal country, why worry about it?" Just let Liangguang Yungui do it. ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi obviously did not agree with the disposition of anyone involved in the victory of the paper bridge, and Prince Gong could not, "This matter cannot be rewarded, otherwise it will not be able to explain to the legal person." ”

Zuo Zongtang sneered slightly, "Naturally," the Empress Dowager Cixi said, "Let's just treat it as an ordinary thing." ”

Prince Gong walked down the Qinzheng Palace, he never felt that the Qinzheng Palace at this moment was so deserted, this feeling of isolation and helplessness has been reflected in the debate in the Qinzheng Palace, the overall situation is far from being able to control it alone, although he is still a man of his word in dealing with specific government affairs, but now in the prelude to the Emperor, others are more and more able to rap!

Thinking of this, Prince Gong was so angry that he couldn't help but slap the table heavily, and Bao Jun was taken aback, "Lord, what's wrong?" ”

"It's really ridiculous," Prince Gong shouted, "just to put others on the clouds, and this time they are stepping on us, trying to step us into the mud, do these people have the heart to repay their kindness!" ”

Having said that, in the end, Prince Gong also understood that these promises did not count, thinking of Li Hongzao's attitude, and thinking of Zhang Peilun going to the south, he was shocked, and his face changed, "It's not good, that Zhang Youqiao went to Nanyang, and he will never tolerate the French!" ”

"You can't tolerate the legal person," Jing Lian also changed color suddenly, "Then it will inevitably go wrong in the future." ”

"Don't worry about this," Bao Jun said, "we haven't declared war with the French yet, is it possible that the French dare to go to Mawei Port to bombard without declaring war now?" Surely not," he comforted Prince Gong, "Besides, this Zhang Youqiao is just a scholar, just pretend to be a strategist, let him command the navy, hehe, I'm afraid that the bow of the ship will not know which way." ”

"Hey, after all, it's not safe to hand over the Nanyang Naval Master to this person," Prince Gong sighed for a long time, "Who is it for so hard to work for a few years?" Isn't it for the master in the palace? I don't want to fight, it's just that if it's a big war, the silver will flow out like a flood - needless to say, now we are rich, compared to the Xuanzong Dynasty, how much more than ten times more generous? It's easy to grit your teeth with silver, but if it's something else, if it's a war, it's not going to end well! Tariffs and trade, as well as relations with other countries, are all subject to change, and the most important thing for me to join the succession is to seek stability, not to seek change, and there is a conflict with the French, and it is really unimaginable how this change will be in the future. ”

"Why did I not say a word to the Queen Mother to make a move with the Russians? It's nothing more than that Russia is a middle power among the Western countries, but France is different, people have a navy stationed in Vietnam, and they can attack Guangzhou, Zhejiang, and Fujian in a short time? Is this a joke? Let me tell you the truth, if I lose Vietnam and can exchange it for ten years of peace, I will not hesitate to send Vietnam out! Vietnam is disrespectful to China, what are you doing with this thing? Hey, don't you know that oil and salt are expensive, you think this is fun? Nowadays, we are all covered in gold and tight, and it is not good to be easily bruised and bruised! Hey, I'm still suffering from this! ”

Bao Jun hurriedly persuaded and relieved, "The Queen Mother doesn't let the prince take care of the affairs of the Black Flag Army, because she values the prince, the Black Flag Army is winning now, and if you don't keep it, you will lose in the future, knock and knock the French, as long as you don't move towards China, we have no loss, it is the Vietnamese who died, and they are also fighting on the ground in Vietnam, and it has nothing to do with us, and the prince doesn't have to care." ”

Prince Gong seemed to be angry, and Jing Lian said the same, "What Gong Pei said is very true, why should the prince be angry, you must know that you should do more and do more, it is better not to do it, the Black Flag Army is first rebellious, and secondly, even if it wins the legal person, it will not be easy to settle in the future, is it difficult to return to China and continue to let Liu Yongfu lead the troops by himself?" You must know that there is no such private army in the local area now, and it is difficult to settle it. ”

"The Queen Mother's temperament, you don't know," Prince Gong shook his head, "She spared all the people who committed heinous crimes like Shi Dakai, and Liu Yongfu is even more of a minion, the Queen Mother will only see if this person is useful, but not look at the past, if it is useless, the big face will not be used, as long as Liu Yongfu has made great contributions, everything will be easy to do in the future, and any charter can be discussed." ”

"Don't say anything else, in this way, I'm afraid that there will be a big storm in Vietnam again," Bao Jun is not a fool, and he saw the key things at once, "I'm just afraid that this Liu Yongfu will drag us into China!" (To be continued.) )
