When the minister of war, Jingxin, who had eaten a lot of silk, appeared in public again, he had transformed into a special envoy on behalf of the emperor who came to condolences the soldiers on the front line. Accompanied by Admiral Yang, he shuttled among the armies, carrying the official authority of a first-class official.
He conveyed the greetings of the motherland to the warriors who stood in the trenches, which made all the rough guys feel flattered.
Moreover, Lord Shangshu was always accompanied by a reporter from Tomorrow Daily. The magnificent article he recited again and again in a mechanical voice soon appeared in Shanghai newspapers, and then spread to various places at a speed like wildfire.
, soon appeared on Cixi's desk. This strange situation confused her. She couldn't figure it out even after thinking about it. How could the person she sent to urge the withdrawal of troops actually become the one to encourage morale to continue fighting?
"Lafayette, the newspaper published what Mr. Jing said in front of the army. It is said that he went to work in the army on the order of the emperor. It did not mention you, Lafayette." Li Lianying said cautiously from the side. This guy just went to work a few days ago.
After being beaten by Guangxu, I was thinking about Yin Xiaoguo's knife...
"Talk too much!" Cixi scolded her sullenly.
"This slave deserves to die." Li Lianying quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
Cixi raised her hand to signal him to get up, then frowned and said, "Is there a telegram from Jingxin?"
"There is no such thing as a report to the old Buddha," Li Lianying said quickly.
Cixi sneered, and then the old lady began to think wildly. Smart people like this are usually prone to this kind of problem. At best, this is called knowing the subtleties, at worst, this is called suspicion. Now she can't think of Jingxin.
I was forced to eat a lot of silk, and I didn't want to continue eating, so I did this.
The first reaction of a smart person like her is to sort out the position of respecting the trust first. This person is from the royal family, an authentic Aisin Gioro yellow belt. Of course, the yellow belt is worthless now. So this guy is not from a high background.
, it can be said that he was promoted all the way by himself. In the Guangxu Dynasty, he was promoted from a pen poster to the Minister of the Ministry of War. Normally, he would not betray himself, but it is hard to say about the current situation. People's hearts are the most fickle, especially the emperor's.
After all, we are young, and no one can avoid planning more for the future.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh. Age is her fatal weakness. After all, she is already over sixty. If she lives for another twenty years, she will have to hand over power even if she doesn't want to. This is also the biggest problem for the Imperial Party.
Feeling confident, she raised her head and looked at the colored phoenix that the King of Ryukyu had paid tribute to not far away. The sunlight outside reflected on the colored gemstones, making it look extremely dazzling. But how many more years could her brilliance last?
But then a fierce light flashed in her eyes. Do you want to seek my power? If you dare to make me unhappy for a moment, I will make you unhappy for the rest of your life.
Just when this old woman was thinking about nonsense, Li Hongzhang laughed so hard that he really didn't expect Yang Feng to be so good at playing, ruthless, cunning and cunning. More importantly, he was so bold. Think about it.
When he compared it with himself, Li Erguizi found that for a similar person, he had indeed been a bit too useless in these years.
Yang Feng forced Jingxin to accept the imperial edict. He could hide it from others, but naturally he couldn't hide it from him. Whether it was Xu Bangdao or Deng Shichang on the Zhiyuan, there were wireless telegraph machines that could directly contact him. They would naturally know about such a major matter.
Report to him as quickly as possible. Besides, Yang Feng did not prohibit them from doing this. This guy just wants to lead a bad leader among these Han generals and let them all know that the imperial court is a piece of shit. As long as their own interests are touched,
Then any means is acceptable, including rebellion.
"It's just that after this letter of respect comes back, I'm afraid things won't end well for Yang Feng." Sheng Xuanhuai said from the side.
"Respect?" Li Hongzhang sneered and said: "He can't come back, so let's do Yang Feng a favor now. Let's see how this little guy continues to act in this big show. Use the radio to send a telegram to Ding Yuting and ask him to find him.
With this excuse, call Deng Zhengqing back immediately, and don’t inform Jingxin, just return directly, and we won’t interfere with the rest.”
"Huh? The Zhiyuan is gone?" Boss Yang was a little surprised when he learned that the Zhiyuan weighed anchor overnight and left Tokyo Bay to return to China. But then he understood Li Hongzhang's intention, which was to tell himself that since he had done this
If something like this happens, then do it more thoroughly. If you trust this person, kill him as soon as possible. The only thing is to perform the show well and not to reveal the truth. Of course, this problem is not difficult to solve. There are just a few people alone in the den of tigers and wolves.
It's not easy to figure out how to carve it up.
But on this point, Li Hongzhang really judged a gentleman with a villain's heart. How could a person like Boss Yang do such a thing of killing people and silencing them? In fact, when he was planning to let Jingxin and his party inspect the front line, they were suddenly attacked.
The Japanese army bombarded them with no bones left, and then sent the people to the mines in Australia to spend their remaining years. Of course, Li Erjie’s reminder did not change the course of the story. Jingxin’s fate was still completed according to this script. This is just not worth it.
It's such a small thing to mention.
The news that Guangxu sent a letter from the Ministry of War to Tokyo to express condolences to the frontline troops quickly set off a new wave of war in the country. Especially those celebrities from the Qing Dynasty, under the instruction of Master Weng, made a big fuss and beautified Guangxu.
Just like the Holy Lord Mingjun, little did they know that the Mingjun they had been expecting to make a shining appearance was hiding in his palace and trembling like a dog with his tail between his legs.
This time he was truly unstoppable, and he could not defend himself. Jingxin's behavior in Tokyo was like a bucket of cold water poured on his head. Now all he could think about was the ferocious face of his own father.
Seeing Guangxu curled up on the couch like a quail, a great scholar like Master Weng couldn't help but go up and kick him and then scold him. What a great opportunity this was! Although this opportunity came a bit strangely,
But this is a real opportunity, a perfect opportunity to escape from the clutches of that old woman. As long as Guangxu says something to stop the peace talks in the morning, it can be said that he will immediately gain the support of all people.
What's more important is that he will get the support of the frontline generals. What is the basis for fighting for power? Even Master Weng himself knows that no matter how well written the article is, it can't be compared to a Mauser gun. As long as there is the support of the army, he wants to drive Cixi to the Summer Palace.
Circle it, isn’t that easy?
"Your Majesty, Sir Jing probably saw Mr. Yang in Tokyo with strong troops and horses capable of sweeping across the Japanese country. He couldn't bear to waste this opportunity, so he temporarily concealed the imperial edict. Although his behavior was inappropriate, the so-called general will not accept the order of the foreign king, which shows his true intention.
A talent for adapting to circumstances.
As soon as this move came out, the whole country was excited. Even the commanders in Liaodong also petitioned the court to stop the peace talks and reorganize the army to fight again. For example, Commander Liu Kun, a veteran on the battlefield, also said that he would be able to capture friends from Shan County alive within two months and offer them prisoners to the palace.
At this time, His Majesty is sending another edict to Tokyo to encourage Yang Feng and the four generals to continue their efforts, so that the whole country will be grateful to our emperor." Master Weng tried hard to cheer up Guangxu and fight bravely for his own power.
"But this peace negotiation is the Queen Mother's decree. How can I violate it? Moreover, the tomb of Taizu Taizong is also in the hands of the Japanese. If it is disturbed, how can I see my ancestors?" Guangxu said weakly.
"Your Majesty, you are the Emperor, and you are already in charge, why do you always have to listen to the Queen Mother?" Concubine Zhen said dissatisfiedly from the side.
"There is no need for you, a prostitute, to interfere in national affairs!" Guangxu glared at her.
Concubine Zhen snorted and turned her head.
"Your Majesty, the matter of Taizu Taizong's mausoleum is not difficult to solve. Since Mr. Yang has conquered the Japanese imperial capital, the Japanese imperial mausoleum is naturally under his control. Your Majesty can issue an order to also plant explosives in the Japanese imperial mausoleum.
If we blow up the imperial mausoleum of our country, I will also blow up its imperial mausoleum, so that the Japanese will not dare to touch it." Master Weng said with confidence, he did not know that the first Japanese emperor buried in Tokyo had not yet succeeded to the throne.
However, his countermeasure is completely feasible. Japan's imperial tombs have a wide range of branches. The largest ones are in Osaka, Kyoto, and Nara. There is no need to go anywhere else. Yang Feng will occupy Osaka and tell the Japanese that benevolence and virtue must be taken.
The Emperor's Tomb has been dug up to see where this thing came from. I guess anyone in Shan County will have to think carefully about whether they should fry the wild boar skin tomb.
It's a pity that if this incident hadn't happened, Boss Yang might have really had this kind of elegance. Besides, there must be a lot of good things in the Japanese Imperial Tomb. But now that this incident has happened, he has no interest in doing this job. This
I wish I could have friends in the mountain county and crush the wild boar skin and raise the ashes.
Of course, Master Weng and Guangxu didn't know this. Encouraged by his teacher and wife, the lovely dog finally made up his mind and wrote an imperial edict to Yang Feng, but it was a secret edict. A secret edict should be a secret edict.
Master Ong didn't expect anything else now. This secret order was handed over by a family member of Master Ong to O'Connor, the chief executive of Bofors Bank, who then passed it on to his boss.
Just when the secret was destined to go to sea from Tianjin and then transferred to the destroyer Flying Eagle, which came specially to receive the order, the Minister of War, Kenshin, finally completed his historical mission.
"What? Jingxin is dead?" Cixi was confused by the news again.
"The Queen Mother, according to Taiwan Admiral Yang Feng, she was working on the front line because her official uniform was too eye-catching, so she was targeted by the Japanese gunners on the opposite side and died from the shells. None of the people accompanying her survived.
They were all blown up by artillery shells and no bones were left. Only a bloody official hat was recovered." The Japanese army said with a deadpan expression. After Shiduo had to go home to rest due to a sudden serious illness, his position as the foreman of the Military Aircraft Minister was temporarily suspended.
be represented by him.
Cixi was really confused. There must be something wrong with Jingxin's death. It goes without saying. How could it be such a coincidence that all the followers died together? But if it was Yang Feng who killed him, then what happened before?
Things couldn't be straightened out. At this moment, even her mind, which had been extremely strong in the political strife, was at a loss. (To be continued...)
