"Did you hear that those foreigners are going to attack Beijing......

"Why haven't you heard of it, it's all the trouble caused by the thief named Ning Buqi......"

"Nonsense, who doesn't know what the character of those foreigners is, without Ning Buqi, they will let go of Beijing, which has the Old Summer Palace, the imperial palace, and countless palaces, and collects most of our Chinese treasures and wealth, so this matter has nothing to do with Ning Buqi, if you want me to say that we still have to admire this man, when I heard that the foreigners were going to attack Beijing, they immediately chose the foreigners with the territory of the four provinces......"

"That's it, that is, I heard that Ning Buqi has officially prepared to recapture Hong Kong and Macau, and now the fleets of the British and Portuguese have rushed towards Guangzhou......"

............

In Beijing City, the taverns and teahouses along the road, and even the sound of talking on the side of the street continued, Li Hongzhang's carriage drove slowly through the bustling Beijing City, but his eyes showed a trace of gloom when he looked outside.

With his power and means, he knew that the voices in Beijing at this time were just a microcosm of all the cities in China, and that the chaotic parties in the south were not inferior to the imperial court in public opinion before they encountered the invulnerable monster, and now, when these chaotic parties had the armed support of the monster, the imperial court in this public opinion could not be compared with them.

Sighing slightly, Li Hongzhang put down the curtain and picked up the information in front of him, looking at it, his life has been getting more and more sad recently.

Over the years, the foreigners have become more and more excessive, and a while ago, little Japan gave China a hard blow, and now it is even better, the foreigners are preparing to attack Beijing with a coalition army, and a demon in the south has occupied four provinces.

Even if he is a paste-launder, he has a kind of pain that it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and the national strength of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is there, and he is more afraid of the Han people, he can't fight himself, and he doesn't dare to let the Han army become too strong.

"My lord, the Japanese rejected our proposal, they said that if they could defeat Ning Buqi, then Guangdong, Jiangxi and Lianghu would naturally be their spoils, so they felt that we were delusional ...... to stop attacking Beijing and then defeat Ning Buqi together with the British and then get only one Canton."

The carriage shook slightly, and a figure lifted the curtain and got in, Li Hongzhang did not put down the information in his hand, with his identity, the only one who could directly lift the curtain and dared to directly lift the curtain and get in was definitely his most trusted henchman.

However, when the words of this confidant fell, Li Hongzhang suddenly put down the information in his hand.

"These greedy demons, dwarf mules ......"

Even Li Hongzhang's city government couldn't help but curse indignantly at this time, occupying four provinces, these Japanese really dare to say that I am afraid that all the powers, including Britain, who supported them, would not agree to this matter.

Moreover, not to mention that the cession of Guangzhou is already the ultimate that Li Hongzhang can do, the position of Guangzhou alone is definitely enough to satisfy all the powers, including Britain, but I didn't expect that little Japan was still not satisfied.

"Tell them that it is impossible for the four provinces to ......"

Taking a deep breath, Li Hongzhang suppressed his anger and spoke again, although the Japanese are hateful, but for Li Hongzhang, those chaotic parties in the south are the ones who need to be dealt with more immediately, no matter how hateful the Japanese are, they can't make China change the dynasty, but those chaotic parties in the south can change the dynasty.

On the street, a faint sound of conversation came into the carriage, and Li Hongzhang could hear that there were far more people who said good things about Ning Buqi than people who resented Ning Buqi, and this old guy's hands were subconsciously clenched.

Such people must be eradicated as soon as possible, otherwise, the heavens and the earth will change color.

With a hint of coldness, the old man closed his eyes slightly, but in his mind he began to calculate how to preserve the court to which he was loyal in his current form.

"Archie, little Japan has recently sent a note saying that they will send a fleet to assist the British and Portuguese in attacking us......"

Guangzhou, the dock area, Lu Haodong found Ning Buqi with a face full of anger, at this time, on the sea, the navy of the Patriotic Army had been assembled, in addition to the ten warships captured by Ning Buqi before, there were nearly thirty merchant ships carrying more than 10,000 newly recruited naval recruits of the Patriotic Army who had just learned to drive a battleship.

"Oh, then let them come, I'm just packing up ...... together"

Ning Buqi replied casually, but he didn't care too much about Lu Haodong's words, for him now, even if there are more than 20 Japanese warships, it is nothing, at most it makes him spend a little more energy.

"Little Japan attacked Fujian and Zhejiang......"

Lu Haodong looked at Ning Buqi's casual appearance and spoke angrily again, and as soon as this sentence came out, Ning Buqi was stunned.

Little Japan said that it would assist Britain and Portugal, but instead of coming to Guangdong, it went to attack Fujian and Zhejiang......

"They are learning from their predecessors of the great powers, and they are also using us as an excuse......"

After being slightly stunned, Ning Buqi sneered, "They are only afraid that they will not only attack Fujian and Zhejiang, but also want to occupy these two places......

Japan, unlike other powers, the European powers' biggest target for China is to colonize, but Japan wants to cut the flesh from China.

"Our people have sent back news from Fujian and Zhejiang, and the local government seems to be cooperating with the Japanese statement, because we Japanese are attacking these two provinces, and according to our analysis, if it is not surprising, the Manchus have reached some kind of deal with Japan, and will cede certain coastal cities in Fujian and Zhejiang to the Japanese ......"

Lu Haodong spoke again, the tone of his voice was more angry than before, Ning Buqi was slightly stunned, the Manchu Qing Dynasty cooperated with Japan, there is definitely something strange here, but then Ning Buqi laughed, he reached out again and patted Lu Haodong's shoulder, he could see where Lu Haodong's anger was, but he felt that there was nothing to be angry about, this late Qing Dynasty, it was not strange for the Manchu court to do anything, and it was not worth being angry.

"Let them say it, after we take Fujian and Zhejiang, I believe that your people will quickly erase the bad things left by the Manchus, the forty warships of the British and Portuguese are almost here, let's go and capture him together, and then, let Huang Feihong arrange people to recapture Hong Kong and Macao, and you and I will go and clean up the little Japanese ......"

Ning Buqi smiled and spoke, he was not angry with the Manchu Qing because in his eyes the Manchu Qing was already a dry bone in the grave, and it was not worth his anger at all, not only the Manchu Qing, even the great powers were just a local chicken and tile dog who could be destroyed when he took time.

Looking at Lu Haodong, who was still in an abnormal atmosphere, Ning Buqi smiled and pulled Lu Haodong and walked towards the battleship, the British and Portuguese fleets did not hide at all this time, they were only hundreds of kilometers away from the coast of Guangzhou, and slowed down and waited for the Patriotic Navy to go to meet the battle, Ning Buqi was very curious at this time, how did these guys have the confidence to fight with him again after he easily captured nineteen battleships last time.
