A few days later

Red Fort, Sky Tower

"Master, the police department awarded the Good Citizen Award to the brothers of the kitchen knife group of four, I followed your instructions to wake them up to invest in the dock business, and now I am estimated to go back to raise money, Zhaoyi is not talented, and there is also a dark flower in it......"

"Well, you can't treat the affectionate and righteous people badly."

Li Fushou nodded indifferently, there was nothing to say about this kind of trivial matter, he strode behind the desk and sat down, and asked casually; "When will the second phase of development in North Queensland start?"

"Back to the lord, the various departments are not the same, the propaganda department has begun to create momentum, to promote the development policy of the north, according to the plan of the immigration department, will begin in November, and successively increase the tilt of the northern immigration, focusing on Darwin, Cairns and Qingdao Town three immigration distribution ports, the initial 2~3 immigration ships arrive every month, the action of the construction department almost began in November, the elite soldiers drawn by the various departments will also be in place, and the supporting funds will be in place one after another, The projects will be gradually released on a quarterly basis, and the large-scale construction will begin almost at the beginning of next year. ”

"Yes, your secretariat will organize a special team to follow up, and you will focus on this work."

"Understood, I'll keep following up."

Li Fushou nodded, opened the delicate wooden cigar cigarette case on the table, and took one out, Tang Shaoyi hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the gold cigar cutter, helped cut off the eggplant cap, and then picked up the lighter and lit it and stepped forward.

"Thank you."

Li Fushou lit the cigar and took a beautiful puff, picked up the newspaper on the table and browsed it, and asked; "The former governor of the Dutch East Indies has been arrested and imprisoned, what is the situation?"

"It should be the internal politics of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, according to the intelligence sent by the blackguards from the Kingdom of the Netherlands, since the signing of the "Singapore Treaty", large-scale mass rallies have broken out in Amsterdam and the provinces of West Holland, and the mood of the right-wing groups in the country is accumulating, containing a volcanic resentment of women, Sir Frederick S. Jacobs was pushed out by the cabinet as a scapegoat, which may be the best choice at the moment."

"It's a pity, he's a good guy."

Li Fushou didn't have any sincerity in his evaluation, took a leisurely puff of cigar smoke, and let the strong cigar smoke drift around, looking a little fluttering; "What about the successor governor...... What's the situation? ”

"Returning to my lord, the successor governor has been identified as Lord Fergus, a parliamentarian who has a political stance contrary to the conservative William I today, and it is analyzed that it is the result of a compromise between the king and the parliament, and Lord Ferguez is the spokesman for the interests of the merchants of Amsterdam, and from the analysis of his usual style of conduct, businessmen mean more than politicians, and are very cunning and difficult."

"Huh...... Businessman, that means that anything is negotiable. Li Fushou's understanding angle is obviously different, compared to the old Dutch aristocracy stubborn, but the businessman is better to deal with.

At any time, strength is the essence of speech.

Whoever is in charge of the Governor of the East Indies needs to listen to the voices and concerns that come from Queensland, and at the very least, show respect.

Otherwise, Li Fushou doesn't mind banging again.

"Where is the war in Indochina?"

"Back to my lord, after the French expeditionary force suffered the third setback in the Battle of Shanxi, it turned to send a fleet to attack Fuzhou, Zhangzhou, Matsu and other places on the coast of Taiwan and the mainland, and conquered several places in a row for more than a month, causing the Qing court to shake.

"What about the Liangguang Governor's Palace?"

"After Gu Tingchuan, the governor of Liangguang, made up for the loss of the Wuwei left battalion, the Wuwei right battalion in his hand dropped to about 3,000 people, which has reached a dangerous critical point, and Guangjitang has successively transported 4,500 recruits to Guangzhou Prefecture, which is currently being practiced day and night, and is expected to be officially formed in the first half of next year, but it is helpless at the moment."

"Well, that's pretty much enough."

Li Fushou nodded thoughtfully, and by June next year, at most, he could make up for more than 10,000 young eagle school elimination students in Guangzhou, plus the existing new army was 20,000, which was a powerful elite army, which was enough for Lord Yuezhang to stabilize the situation between Guangzhou.

Gu Yanchuan, the governor of Liangguang, was a staunch main battle faction, and the better he performed in the war on the southern border, the heavier his weight in the imperial court, and the more he could be regarded as the minister of the humerus.

He is an important minister of the Manchu Qing Dynasty who has won many victories in battles with foreigners, and he is also a feudal official, and his weight is not inferior to Zuo Zongtang, Li Hongzhang, Zeng Guofan, Zeng Guoxiang, this important minister, the gold content is still excessive.

After all, these ministers all started with the extermination of the long-haired bandits, especially the Hunan army of Zeng Guofan and the Huai army of Li Hongzhang, whose forces covered the southeastern provinces and the northern region.

I thought about it

Looking at the urine sex of today's imperial court, it is really a wind and a shoeshoe upper, Li Fushou feels that he should still take the risk and intervene, don't follow the old road of history again, win on the battlefield but lose at the negotiation table, he really can't accept such a bad result.

Li Fushou stood up, turned his hands around twice, thought about it carefully, and said;

"Propose to send a telegram to the Liangguang Governor's Palace......

Father-in-law, Gu Yanchuan, Lord Taijian;

Today, the war in northern Vietnam is still standoff, and the French expeditionary fleet attacks Taiwan Island, Zhangzhou, Fuzhou and other places, but it cannot be deceived by superficial phenomena.

In France, the former French cabinet collapsed and took responsibility for the defeat due to the three consecutive defeats in the Battle of Shanxi, and the current cabinet urgently needed to reach an acceptable peace treaty.

For the sake of the present

Traveling thousands of miles and half ninety, the initiative is on my side and not on the French side.

Li Gong, an important minister of the Beiyang Dynasty in today's imperial court, is known for his knowledge of the foreign school, and he is not worthy of his name, and he is confused by the strength of the foreigners on the surface, and it is difficult to stick to the bottom line of victory.

I see that this person is anxious for peace talks, and he is afraid that he will send his hands to the interests of northern Vietnam, and may even endanger the safety of the southern border, so he will accept the request of France in its entirety and open a commercial port in the south to appease the hearts of the Westerners.

All this has to be taken into account, and if it is really allowed to take advantage of the gap, the main fighting faction in the country will suffer a heavy blow and decline, and we must not be careless.

I have a plan to offer today, and I can break the game.

Looking at the coastal areas ravaged by French warships, it is actually difficult to become a major disaster, and once the French warships are unable to agree to open a commercial port on the southern border, the southern border will be greatly opened, and the future troubles will be endless.

Gongyi rose up and gathered the elite in his hands to deal a fatal blow to the enemy in northern Vietnam, which could make Li Ping of the Wuwei Right Army as the vanguard, Liu Yongfu of the Black Flag Army, and Feng Zicai of the Green Battalion Army as the left and right armies, and clenched their fists and struck with all their might.

If you can break the French army, you should congratulate it, and if you are defeated, you will retreat to the place and wait for reinforcements, which is the best strategy.

On the occasion of the two ends of the head, if the public exerts all his strength to break the deadlock in the Red River Delta, the whole situation will be alive, and the French country will have to accept the alliance under the city, and the hearts of the court and the people will be boosted, and the good will also be good.

This telegram, the son-in-law bowed his head and burned it after reading. ”

Tang Shaoyi recorded the dragon and snake, and saw that the earl had no other instructions, so he immediately turned around and went to do things.

now

A large number of clouds gathered in the originally sunny sky, and after an earth-shattering thunderclap, the weather changed instantly.

Li Fushou walked to the window with a solemn expression, only to see the dark clouds rolling outside, and bursts of muffled thunder flickering and sounding in the dark clouds, which made people's hearts tremble.

His face was full of bitterness, his hands folded in prayer, and his mouth was full of words, and his expression was extremely respectful.

After a long time

Suddenly, the clouds and fog dispersed, and the thunder in the sky disappeared invisibly, and almost the nine heavens rained down divine thunder to kill it to the slag.

Li Fushou was scared a lot now, he was really sweating and wearing heavy clothes, and the two of them were speechless for a long time.

He's really crossed the line this time......
