The Saint of the South China Sea asked to see him. This news made Yang Feng confused for a moment. He had been fishing during this period, but he did not expect that the first one to take the bait would be such a tasteless little fish that was a pity to abandon. But he thought
I'd better meet him after thinking about it. Even though this guy is just a slavish talker who never succeeds enough but fails more often than not, it's quite strange to have such a guy among green worms.
After the two met, they exchanged false compliments. Kang Youwei praised Yang Feng's virtues in setting up free rural schools in Fujian and Zhejiang, almost as good as those of ancient sages. Although he also knew that those schools banned the teaching of eight-legged essay, Yang Feng praised
Kang Youwei praised his knowledge as much as Zhu Bahui. Although he had never read any of Kang Youwei's articles, the two of them kept complimenting each other. It was not until Yang Feng's expression became unhappy that Kang Youwei sighed and said
: "Alas, now that the heroine is in charge of the country, the dynasty is full of traitors, and officials are bribed to advance. What's the use of having knowledge? Even if you get a Jinshi, you can only move to the capital and waste your time. When will you be able to see the Holy Emperor again?
.”
Ah, Yang Feng suddenly understood that this was someone who was preparing to burn Guangxu's cold stove and wanted to tempt him to run to King Qin in Beijing.
"The coming of the Holy Emperor to the court is a good thing for you, but for me it will be a disaster for my family." Yang Feng said with a sneer.
"Master Yang, I have to say that you were indeed deceived by a traitor at the beginning. How could you be bewitched by a eunuch?" Kang Youwei said carefully. The legend of Li Lianying's peach-stealing skills and Wang Mingluan's battle, and finally turning the tide was well known in Beijing.
As those boring idlers said, what happened to my father-in-law? My father-in-law had nothing to do, so why didn’t he just kill the bachelor in the cabinet?
"Oh, what's the use of talking about this now? I regretted it later. Unfortunately, the mistake has already been made. I have no choice but to keep making the mistake." Yang Feng said with a helpless expression.
"Mr. Yang, Your Majesty is a wise king who is tolerant and generous. Even if you made a small mistake before, you were just deceived by others. If you can wake up now and make immortal achievements again, Your Majesty will definitely be able to forgive you.
At that time, you will be the king of Yihuo." Kang Youwei said quickly when he saw the door.
"Yi Yin, don't mention Huo Guang or anything like that. I'll be satisfied if I can keep my current wealth. But it's useless for you and me to talk about this. I can't do the work that requires my head just because of your words.
Son, besides, even if I am willing, my brothers still won’t be willing!" Yang Feng waved his hand and said.
"Master Yang, if the emperor has a decree to forgive your previous mistakes, then do you really want to serve the king?" Kang Youwei asked with excitement.
"Of course. Although I don't study, I still know how to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country. During this time, I often heard people tell stories about the queen mother's involvement in politics in ancient times. I have to say that none of these old housekeepers are undefeated. Look at this
We already know this about Deshou, so a prisoner on death row who committed rebellion and corruption was found not guilty when he arrived at the Ministry of Punishment. Isn’t it a joke? God knows how many people in the Ministry of Punishment collected black money. You said even the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment could get it
How can this country be better off if it is bribed with money?
I've been holding back my anger for a long time, otherwise I wouldn't be here today, but that's all I can do, and I can't openly attack Beijing, right? That would be a rebellion. I just want to be a loyal minister.
Yes, but because of what happened last time, I don’t dare! If the emperor can ignore the past grievances, then why should I regret this life? Besides, sir, do you think there is room for repetition in my current relationship with the Queen Mother? " Yang
Feng said, this is very true. He and the Queen Mother were already fighting openly and openly, so naturally he would not have any other choice.
"Master Yang, to be honest, this time I am entrusted by Masters Zhang Qiaoye and Zhirui. I have come to invite you to plan a big event. Leave the contact with the Holy One to me. You just need to be prepared.
, If we get the autograph of the Holy One, we can send troops to Beijing. At that time, we will welcome the Holy One to hold the great treasure and restore the Qing Dynasty to a bright and prosperous world." Kang Youwei said excitedly.
"No problem. Since sir and all your lords think highly of me, I, Yang Feng, will naturally have no problem with it. However, we have to agree that once the matter is completed, I must be given the position of Prime Minister and Minister of International Affairs, and then the Prime Minister's Office must be moved to Fuzhou.
, I will be responsible for dealing with foreigners from now on, and secondly, I must be given ten million taels of silver to reward my subordinates, otherwise it will be troublesome if I like it and they don't," Yang Feng said.
"I'll keep these on you." Kang Youwei patted his chest and said, "The Prime Minister's Office is not a fat job now. Who among the court officials likes to deal with foreigners? Maybe Yang Feng and the princes and ministers will be happy. As for ten million taels
Money is not even worth mentioning. Cixi paid five million last time, and it is reasonable to double it now.
After sending Kang Youwei, who was full of excitement, to rest and take a look at the majesty of the Zhongyong Army, Yang Feng was left laughing very happily. Unexpectedly, this little miscellaneous fish was followed by a tofu shark. Now it was done and it was done again.
It's about to make a fortune.
It is said that his current relationship with Cixi is no longer easy to operate. After all, in the short term, he still needs to act as a domineering and powerful minister, rather than a rebel who directly rebels. It is easy to explain why he pretends to be ill and does not press against Beijing, but
If you really want to enter the city of Beijing, you need a real reason. If there is another imperial edict for the puppy, then you can be completely confident. As for whether to sell the puppy again or promote him,
Then you have to see who is more suitable for you.
Maybe it would be good to help him up. Yang Feng found that Cixi, an old woman, was very shrewd. Sometimes she would not always follow her own path, such as this Deshou incident, and her attitude towards Li Hongzhang and others was also
Governor Yang was very dissatisfied. She was obviously an expert at boiling frogs in warm water. People like Li Hongzhang would never mention their disobedience at this rate, but if it were Guangxu, these old guys might not have a good life.
It is conceivable that if Guangxu came to power, then Kang Youwei and his group of ambitious talkers would definitely gain power. Moreover, Guangxu himself had an impatient personality, coupled with the suppression of so many years of humiliation. It would be difficult to become the master once he stood up.
He is struggling fiercely, not to mention that he is determined to be a great emperor who will live another five hundred years, so he will never tolerate these dominating governors. In this way, the contradiction can be intensified, and then he will wait to reap the benefits.
, anyway, as long as he dared to offend him, it would be as simple as coming over and strangling him to death.
The more Governor Yang thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was very feasible. However, it seemed unrealistic to expect those talkative people to complete the preliminary work. If not, he would have to help them himself. It was no big deal. Just find someone to come over.
As a liaison officer, you can just notify yourself in time if there is anything you need. How can a big shot like him be in the mood to care about these children's tricks?
Yiketang'a's troops have already arrived in Ningyuan, and Ronglu is also reorganizing his army in Tianjin and waiting to go north. It won't be long before he has to face a two-front battle. In this case, he might as well take the initiative to deal with Yiketang'a first.
, take advantage of the fact that the coast has not yet frozen on a large scale, conduct a landing operation in the north, and beat him back first.
His six landing ships have already arrived with reinforcements. He first let these people disembark to replace the frontline troops who were already familiar with the winter climate, and then loaded a brigade onto the ship. The entire fleet, including the predators, quietly left Qinhuangdao at night.
Heading north, it was only a two- or three-hour voyage from Qinhuangdao to Ningyuan. In the bright moonlight, six landing ships quietly rushed onto the beach of Ningyuan. Six thousand fully armed soldiers disembarked as quickly as possible.
The gray cloak rushed towards Ningyuan County in the distance silently.
At the same time, dozens of cannons, including the Marauder at sea and the landing ship on the shore, were also aimed at the famous town seven kilometers away.
Although it was already midnight at this time, Iketang'a still didn't sleep. As the only banner figure among the Manchus, he really had no idea about this mission. Although he had a town's troops, most of them
They were all new recruits, and their training level may not be as good as the new army of the imperial court. What's more, Cixi had recruited all the decent people from the bannermen outside the pass, and his men either picked up the remaining defective products, or they were just some bastards.
The Han people who eat it, if we really talk about combat effectiveness, may not be able to catch up with the group of people he brought when he first entered North Korea. The only advantage is that the equipment is much better than before, but such a force can attack Yang Feng's men.
One can imagine how difficult it would be for Shanhaiguan to be guarded by elite troops.
Because he was worried all night and couldn't sleep, he simply put on his big cloak and walked out. He lived in Ningyuan County Government. As a first-class official came to this small county town, the county magistrate naturally had to be careful. Not only did he give up his county government
He came out to serve as his central army, and he was also busy arranging all his more than 10,000 troops in the city. Otherwise, if he slept outside in tents on such winter nights, those soldiers would have to beat him up. Even now, the county magistrate
He didn't dare to sleep either. He had to wait in the adjacent room before the lights in Iketanga's room went out. When he heard the sound of the door opening, he quickly came out and served him grovelingly.
"Thank you for your hard work in your county. Let's take a rest early! I just want to go out for a walk." Iketang'a said with great satisfaction.
How can the county magistrate dare to sleep at this time? Isn't the most important thing for an official to be good to his boss? The man in front of him is now a pillar of the imperial court. If he is well served, his career will be just around the corner. Since he wants to go out for a walk
, then you can go out with him for a walk. It happens that in the dead of night, you can talk about things that are inconvenient to say during the day. The two of them left the county office together, chatting about some official topics and gradually walked to the city wall.
