The Tianwang Mansion was briefly repaired and then renovated into a royal palace. It was inhabited by a group of people who came from Beijing and was guarded by soldiers. The place where Li Zhen lived was moved to the original Dongwang Mansion, but the Dongwang Mansion The name has been changed to Admiral's Office, and it is still the official position of the Governor of Guangdong concurrently as Admiral, but with the title of Assistant Minister added.
When Li Zhen was playing with his children in the backyard, he received news from Beijing. Li Zhen immediately became angry and cursed Yi as a traitor for ceding land. This was a loss of power and an insult to the country.
This kind of thing cannot be done at all.
Looking at the entire late Qing Dynasty, although they passively ceded land and paid compensation, they never took the initiative to throw away the territory. Yi directly ceded the area north of Heilongjiang, which made Li Zhen wish he could fly to Yi with wings and fiercely Give Yi two slaps, or even twist his head off.
Li Zhen sent an order to Ye Chengzhong to summon all the generals in Nanjing.
This time, Li Zhen had made up his mind to conquer the northern territory. As a descendant of Yan and Huang, he would never allow an inch of land within the country to be ceded. This was something Li Zhen could not tolerate.
It didn't take long and everyone gathered in the conference room.
After Li Zhen sat down, he waved his hand for everyone to sit down. The people participating this time included Huang Shihai, Yang Banhou, Long Ao, Huang Qiang and other generals, as well as Zheng Zaoru, Zhang Zhiping, Yang Luchan and other people, and even Huan Xiao Wolves are involved.
Everyone, all present.
Li Zhen looked serious and said in a deep voice: "I just received news from Beijing that Yi ceded a large area of land north of Heilongjiang to the Russians. This area belongs to China and will never be ceded. Ye Chengzhong, You draft an edict and inform all compatriots in the world that I, Li Zhen, do not agree with this treaty and will never agree to it. The Qing Dynasty will never recognize this treaty. You then pass the news to Wei Yuan as soon as possible and ask Wei Yuan to write an article to support us. ."
"yes."
Ye Chengzhong heard the order and immediately agreed.
From Li Zhen's words, Ye Chengzhong tasted Li Zhen's eagerness. He even felt a sense of depression that he had never experienced before, as if Li Zhen in front of him was a volcano that was about to erupt at any time and could explode at any time. .
Li Zhen turned his eyes and looked at Huang Shihai, Yang Banhou, Smith and Lu Shaochuan, and said in a deep voice: "You guys, mobilize the army stationed in Nanjing and follow me on the expedition. Damn it, a group of Russians will He wants to occupy our place, it is just a fool's dream, and he will humiliate the country by humiliating his power, and when we catch him, I will tear off his head and play it as a ball."
Huang Shihai said: "Commander, we are going to the north, but the current situation does not allow it. Furthermore, the north is an area controlled by Yi, especially the northeastern region, which is the origin of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. These..."
"Shit."
Li Zhen's eyes widened and he swore: "Don't argue with me. I don't know this. I only know that our place cannot be given to the Russians." After a pause, Li Zhen continued: "Your body's How can I still bear it when part of it is cut off? No matter what, I can't bear it and I must go to war."
Long Ao said seriously: "Commander, I agree with Brigadier Huang's view."
Li Zhen snorted: "I don't care what you do, I won't let the north fall into the hands of the Russians."
In fact, Li Zhen's reaction was so intense, but Long Ao, Huang Shihai and others did not appear to be so intense. This was because the two parties received different educations and lived in different environments.
Li Zhen lived in later generations. Even though he had not experienced the darkest and most helpless period, he learned a lot through countless materials. Every time he mentioned that every inch of land was ceded and every treaty was pressed on China, Li Zhen would feel depressed. Every inch of mountains and rivers is worth every inch of blood. The territory of the motherland must not be ceded.
Nuo is such a big country that it cannot tolerate being bullied by barbarians.
Seeing how determined Li Zhen was, everyone looked at each other with helpless expressions on their faces.
"Report."
When the atmosphere in the conference room was solemn, a soldier came in from the outside and reported: "Commander, a eunuch came from the palace and said that the Queen Mother invited you to discuss matters in the palace."
"If you don't go, just say I'm sick."
Li Zhen refused without even thinking about it.
The soldier added: "The person who sent the message said it was about Yi's cession of land. Please be sure to go, Commander-in-Chief."
Long Ao said: "Commander, the matter is urgent, you'd better go there."
Li Zhen finally stood up and left the Admiral's Mansion without even changing his clothes. After Li Zhen left, Long Ao said: "Commander Huang, there is a big change in the north, and the commander's reaction is extremely fierce. We must stop it. , If you go to the north, you will definitely be a sheep entering the tiger's mouth, and now we have to discuss a practical strategy to prevent the commander from going to the north. "
Huang Shihai also said: "Yes, take advantage of this gap and quickly think of a way."
Everyone sitting in the conference room did not leave, and they were all thinking about how to persuade Li Zhen. After Li Zhen entered the palace, he saw Cixi and Ci'an in the harem and bowed.
Cixi looked serious and asked, "Does Mr. Li know the news about Bei Yi?"
Li Zhen said: "I have heard that by ceding land, I will lose my power and humiliate the country. I have decided to lead the army to the north to drive away the Russians. I do not agree to cede the land. Every inch of the mountains and rivers have been conquered by our ancestors and we are not allowed to cede them."
The tone was decisive and left no room for doubt.
After hearing this, Cixi's expression stiffened and she said: "Master Li, the north is Cong Yi's territory. It would be very disadvantageous for you to lead the army to the north. The Ai family and sister come to you because they are afraid that you will lead the army to the north. It ruins the overall situation.”
"The big picture."
Li Zhen said coldly: "What is the overall situation? Isn't the country's territory the overall situation?"
When Ci'an heard Li Zhen's questioning tone, he immediately became unhappy and said in a deep voice: "Li Zhen, what kind of tone are you talking about? Are you talking to the Queen Mother? Nanjing has just been established as the capital. The situation is unstable and you have not been defeated." With Yi's strength, how can we protect the ceded land in the north? We are doing it for your own good, so you can take care of yourself."
Li Zhen flicked his sleeves and said, "I understand my own affairs."
Cixi said: "Master Li, the Aijia understands your patriotism, but you have to judge the situation carefully."
Li Zhen said: "Please rest assured, Queen Mother, I know what to do."
After that, Li Zhen said goodbye and left the palace. This move made Ci'an and Cixi jump out of anger. Li Zhen was so arrogant that he didn't take their orders seriously. Li Zhen returned to the house and saw the conference room. There were still people inside, and they shouted: "I have already ordered you to mobilize soldiers, why haven't you taken action? Quick, take action immediately. If you don't move, I will get angry."
Li Zhen was in a bad mood and gave the order directly.
Long Ao said: "Commander, I still think it is not appropriate to send troops northward, and the time is not ripe. If we want to go northward, we must at least wait until Yi is defeated and conquer the territory to the north."
