"That's what the Ministry of War means, then let's do it," Empress Dowager Cixi smiled slightly, without showing any traces, she nodded and said, "Such a small matter, there is no need to play, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Officials themselves agreed," At this time, the time pretended not to know Yuan Shikai, "I will look at the effect, see if North Korea can stabilize, not to see who is the errand."

"Yes," said Erle-hebu, "the Japanese have made frequent moves in Korea, and according to the reports from Seoul, there are more and more Japanese ronins in Korea, and it is impossible to say how many of these ronins are the regular Japanese army." ”

"According to the meaning of the Ministry of War," said the Empress Dowager Cixi idly, "what do the Japanese want to do in Korea?" Could it be that you want to repeat the story of the former Toyotomi Hideyoshi? ”

Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the Ming Dynasty Wanli Emperor, a large-scale invasion of Korea, the Korean king escaped the Yalu River to Beijing to cry, although the Wanli Emperor withered in the country, but still tightened his belt, gritted his teeth to complete the Wanli three major expeditions in the most money-consuming and most consuming national strength of the Korean Pingwa War, these years historians have many people believe that the biggest reason for the demise of the Ming Dynasty is the Wanli Emperor, the greatest harm to the country of the Wanli Emperor, not for decades not to go to the court, but to preside over the three huge silver-absorbing black holes of the campaign, The most expensive thing is to help Korea defeat Japan, so indirectly it can be considered that the Ming Dynasty died in Korea and died in Japan. What Toyotomi Hideyoshi proposed was to use North Korea as a springboard, and then invade China and unify Asia. But the situation at that time was different from now, and the Empress Dowager Cixi proposed this possibility, but the ministers did not think so.

"Japan is a small country, where do you dare to touch the tiger whiskers of the sky 1 dynasty?" Prince Li shook his head and said, "Our Great Qing Kingdom has such trillions of people, and there are only a few people in Japan, and they make trouble in Korea, just because they feel that North Korea is closer to us, and they are unfamiliar with them, and there is no harvest in North Korea. ”

Erle and Bu also thought like this, "If they want the land of Korea, this is about possible, after all, Japan is small, there is Russia in the north, and we in the south, he has nowhere to go, the only way out is in Korea, it is not strange to make things happen in Korea, but they must not have the courage to do it against the Qing Dynasty, the slave looked at Yuan Shikai's resume, he killed many ronins and local rebels in North Korea, and it should be okay to continue to deal with it in the future." ”

Other people don't have any objections, if it weren't for the Empress Dowager Cixi to ask about the candidates for the Korean garrison, the Korean and Chinese bigwigs would not care about North Korea at all, and the best candidate would be let the governor of Zhili decide by himself, and he would waste time at the military plane, of course, he would not continue to ask, although some people disagreed with Erle and Bu's arguments, and felt that it seemed to be too understated, but it was not worth refuting anything, only Erle and Bu continued, "There are more Japanese garrisons, if we have fewer people, I'm afraid that the arrogance of the Japanese will rise again, and the meaning of the slave is that it is better to send more people. ”

The Queen Mother glanced at the ministers, "Then this matter will give Li Hongzhang a headache, he is a new official, and he will send as many people as he likes, the Japanese are indeed going to teach a good lesson, Berlin returns, since they have also sent people there to stir up the affairs of Africa, their strength is not great, but their courage is not small, and they are also mixed with international affairs," she folded her hands together and put them on the Haishan Lixiang cloud pattern on her knees, "If others don't know, they still think that we are so disregarded about etiquette, Let the Japanese out and make a fuss, and knock and knock well, hum," the Queen Mother's eyes diverged, "otherwise everyone will think that we are tight." ”

"Huh."

This beating has actually begun, the 9,000-ton warship will soon go north to Nagasaki to paint, in addition, North Korea will not let the Japanese continue to make trouble, according to the character of the Queen Mother, Berlin, if you can make the Japanese comfortable, it is not her style of life.

After a while, the deliberations of the Yangxin Palace ended, and the ministers of the military aircraft returned to the two-storey five-room building outside the Longzong Gate to continue to deal with official business, the first thing that needs to be announced is the appointment of Li Hongzhang Zailing and others, the holy decree has been written, waiting to be sent to the Yangxin Palace with a seal to make it clear to the world, the military aircraft Zhang Jing and Sula flew in and out like pigeons, and before the holy decree was written, the news of several appointments had already spread out of the palace, and almost all the bigwigs in the court knew the news, that is, Li Hongzhang officially became the head of the Xinjiang ministers, the governor of Zhili, Wish to taste.

Congratulatory people have been in an endless stream to the Anhui Hall, but Li Hongzhang was beaten by the queen mother before, very low-key, put away the previous pride, now the holy decree has not been issued, everything is not decided, if at this critical time to accept the welcome and congratulate people, if it angers the queen mother, the matter of the post will increase variables, this is ugly, so all Dumen thanks, Zai Ling and other governors Shangshu and others have people to congratulate, but in addition, mixed in with a small news, The order of the Military Aircraft Department to appoint Yuan Shikai as the commander of the Korean Defense Army and the Minister of Trade of the DPRK was silently drowned in so many orders.

In the Anhui hall, a deep and quiet cross-courtyard, the freshly baked governor of Zhili, the Minister of Commerce and Trade of Beiyang Li Hongzhang at this time stole half a day of leisure, is hiding in the room to practice calligraphy, daughter Li Ju coupling on the side of the grinding ink, this time the long-cherished wish to taste, his whole person is really bright, the pen is also like divine help, copying the book saint's "fast snow when the sunny post", the words are like a dragon, the attitude is flying, the last sentence of "Shanyin Zhang Hou Qi" in the word "Qi" is upright and calm, and there is a proud charm in it," The shape is dense, the meaning is sparse, the ink is clear and refreshing, and the shade is appropriate," Ju Couple looked at the praise and said, "Father's words these days belong to this one, the most accessible." ”

"It's just," Ju Couple's eyes rolled slightly, "Wang Xizhi's sunny post when the snow is fast, it is written about his happy mood at the beginning of the heavy snow and greetings to relatives and friends, father, in your words, but there is a taste of the spring breeze after the cold winter, which is not the same as Wang Xizhi's original meaning." ”

Li Hongzhang laughed, "The state of mind of the ancients, it is difficult for us people nowadays to understand, your father wrote this, and it is enough to take his pleasure." (To be continued.) )
