The First Evolution

Wang Wu and others who were borrowing knives to kill others could not help but take a breath after seeing this scene. When they entered the Prime Minister's Residence before, they were brought in by Fang Linyan with powerful props, so they did not have a clear understanding of the strength of the garrison here.

However, there is a saying: Experts will know if they are there as soon as they take action. After witnessing the actions of the guards who stayed here, I realized that the strength of this group of people is indeed very powerful! It feels like a machine, cold, ruthless, and precise, each performing its own duties, and working together to exert terrifying power.

In such a state of mind, Wang Wu couldn't help but look back at Fang Linyan, hoping that he would finish the matter as soon as possible.

The people who can still stay here at this moment all put life and death aside, but Wang Wu and the others are not afraid of death, but they also hope that their death will be valuable, that they can die vigorously and be remembered in history, and at least they can get a high-ranking official of the Japanese devils. Get into the water.

Fang Linyan's retinal synchronization rate has increased to 49%.

He has now begun to adapt to the state of "parasitizing" in other people's bodies, and he was surprised to find that Tan Sitong was actually in the palace.

Although this stubborn Hunan scholar had been ostracized by both the imperialists and the rearists at this time, he still showed the unique arrogance and stupidity of the Hunan barbarians. Occasionally, he would hold his head high and say a tough word, which would make a difference. It made everyone present feel panicked in their hearts.

Those who can attend are all high-ranking officials in the court, and they are all about the dignity of the prime minister. They are not allowed to make unreasonable troubles or curse. However, every time Tan Sitong said a word, Cixi's face turned darker. Therefore, everyone's I was very panicked inside.

The old Buddha above has been in power for forty-seven years! Among the people present, even Li Gongzhang, who had not been promoted under her hand, who had not knelt before her and kowtowed a hundred and eighty times? This is inherently inferior to others.

In addition, this old Buddha's political ability is second-to-none. Taking advantage of the fact that he is a woman, he can wail and cry with ease. Once you annoy her, you may turn against her and act recklessly.

Therefore, facing Tan Sitong's stubbornness, Shi Duo, Weng Tong and the old man all panicked and winked desperately at Tan Sitong.

But when Tan Sitong, a barbarian from Hunan, lost his temper, how could he be suppressed by a few looks? If he could hold it back, he wouldn't be an extravagant hero who could write "I will smile at the sky with my sword across my head, but I will leave my liver and gallbladder intact".

At this time, the synchronization rate on Fang Linyan's retina jumped directly to 50%. After crossing this hurdle, Fang Linyan immediately had a new experience, because at this time he had begun to feel some changes in Old Man Li's body:

"Damn, my waist hurts so much. I guess it's because I've been standing here for too long, and I've suffered from intervertebral disc bulge/lumbar muscle strain and other diseases. It turns out that Lao Li can endure it so much."

"There is also something wrong with my cervical spine. This dizziness is really damning."

"Ha!! That place is still itchy and painful. Could it be that Lao Li got infected while visiting the brothel?"

"...."

However, the advantage of the higher synchronization rate is that the information Fang Linyan can receive is much clearer. Before, it was always hazy, as if there was a layer of separation, and the voice also had echoes. It was quite difficult to listen to everyone speaking. To understand them The meaning is half guesswork.

Now I can basically hear the sounds very clearly.

At this time, it was Chief Military Minister Shi Duo who spoke. A wry smile appeared on his lips and he said sincerely:

"Queen Mother Cijian, Your Majesty, I just received the news this morning. The Japanese combined fleet is now severely weakened and can only protect itself. If it encounters the Beiyang Fleet at sea, it can only flee."

"Now there is also a sudden change in Nagasaki, Japan. Japan's combined fleet rushed over in a hurry. Even the supply line from Japan to North Korea is difficult to maintain.

According to the analysis in the brochure, the Japanese army is already a river without a source and a tree without roots. Half of the troops are about to run out of food, and half of the troops have no ammunition. There is simply not enough to cause trouble. "

Shi Duo can stand up and say such fair words, but it is not because of his integrity! But because public opinion is boiling now, Shi Duo knows very well what kind of virtuous person Cixi is. Once she really surrenders, as the chief military officer, he will definitely stand up and take the blame!

Shiduo cannot bear this responsibility and dare not bear it, even if this official doesn't do it!

He has made enough money in this position, and power is just that. The military minister of the Qing Dynasty sounds nice, but if he has no soldiers, he is destined to be Sun Tzu. As the saying goes, if you don't have a leader, your farts won't make a sound.

If he were not an official, he would still be rich and famous because of his status as a prostitute. But if he took the blame, not only would his own reputation be ruined, it would be a disaster for his descendants.

In fact, both Li Gongzhang and Cixi underestimated the energy of the people at this time.

At this time, the people's wisdom has opened up, and Fang Linyan and the others are not going alone in their expedition to Japan. They have capital behind them!

To be precise, capital is the financial and business people headed by the Qiao family! And of course there are those who see their success and want to imitate it.

This group of people now has huge wealth, so of course they must subconsciously pursue greater power and better reputation.

The expedition that Fang Linyan joined forces with them was their first step in seeking power! The successive victories achieved by the expedition were widely publicized by them to build momentum, and they took this as an opportunity to form the prototype of a consortium.

Therefore, at this time, several major private newspapers: Shenbao, Jiangnan Business News, Universal Gazette, Practical News, Dajiang News, etc., were directly bought two major pages. Many details of the expedition were published in various newspapers and periodicals, including declarations.

Not long ago, these newspapers published a photo, which was the scene of the captured Japanese ship Yura approaching the port of Vladivostok. The Japanese ship name on the Yura was clearly visible, but the dragon of the Qing Dynasty was flying above it. flag! !

This scene immediately hit the g-spot of most knowledgeable people, and they burst into tears looking at this photo. The letters received by the newspaper were packed in sacks every day, and the amount of money and items donated shocked even wealthy businessmen like the Qiao family.

After many details were revealed, the Chinese people were very in favor of this model of Song Yuren organizing Master Song, Qiao family and other banks to pay, and finally hiring Russians to fight in battle. To use the original words of many landlords and wealthy people, isn't this what we A replica of paying tenants to go hunting?

After assuming Lao Maozi's identity as a "tenant", a sense of superiority suddenly emerged.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Chinese people had been suppressed for too long. They were almost beaten to the ground by the foreign powers. All the news was bad. Even Japan, the little brother in history who had to kneel down and bow to China. He also stood up and provoked, which made people extremely angry!

At this time, an expeditionary force suddenly came out! ! Go straight into the enemy's territory, burn, kill, loot, rape and plunder (ahem, these four words are just a brain teaser, teacher of benevolence and righteousness, it must be the Japanese women who are naturally slutty and take the initiative to seduce, what is wrong with the expeditionary army), plundering richly, and even even How could it not be extremely exciting to see that all the important towns of the little devils were directly taken down, the city was destroyed, the generals were destroyed, and the country became famous in the outside world.

The resentment and grievance in the hearts of the Chinese people have been suppressed for too long.

More importantly, there are also Russians in this operation, and the Russians also urgently need to show their strength in terms of European powers, so they are also very active in advocating this operation, so the international community also follows this. And it started to build momentum.

In this case, although the Qing court had strong opinions on the expeditionary force and wanted to cause trouble, the Qiao family's businessmen were so smart that they had already predicted the actions of those stubborn people within the Qing court, so they responded to the news Publication, newspaper printing, etc. were all placed in the Russian Concession and the Russian Consulate.

Even when the newspaper was published, some Russians from the concession were specially hired to help escort it.

As a result, the officials of the Qing Dynasty were immediately dumbfounded. These bastards had the backing of foreign adults, so what could they do?

Haven't you heard that those powerful Rakshasa people beat even vicious little devils to death? It's okay for these soldiers under my command to bully the common people, but if they start a fight with these bear-like bastards, then the camp will probably be blown up as soon as the order is issued.

Forget it, forget it, just turn a blind eye, as long as you can cope with it.

Even if you can't cope with it, you'll at most blame your boss for being beaten. But if you act rashly, you might lose your life, and then be listed as a traitor by the angry people. That would be even worse.

Apart from anything else, Shi Duo knew very well at this time that the news of the peace talks had been released two days ago. It must have been sold by people in the Military Aircraft Department. Even he was questioned and said that the three Wan Liang asked him to buy the text of the rumored secret agreement.

After fermentation at this time, rumors are flying all over the sky! Even Lafayette said that he wanted to deprive the banner people of their hard-core crops to please the foreigners.

The Manchu and Qing court could use administrative means to silence Song Yuhe and Tan Sitong, but it could not stop the power of capital --- plus now the Qiao family has tasted huge benefits. Their desperate adventure succeeded, so how could they sit back and wait for death?

The Russian finally hit Britain and France with a left hook on the nose, causing the two old rivals to bleed from the nose. How could they just sit back and watch a good situation deteriorate like this?

Tan Sitong was an upright man, but as a new political upstart, he was also in a high position and could participate in national affairs. How could he not have a group of people following him around him? This expedition to Japan was also regarded by these people as the achievement of their faction. .

No matter who it is, if they want this expedition to have no good results, they must be on the opposite side of them! !

consortium,

Russia,

politician.....

These forces that were originally lurking in the capital began to move towards the same place in unison! !

Now the capital is full of people. When I entered the Summer Palace, I saw a large group of people gathered at the door. Some were wearing hats and official robes, some were studying and wearing long gowns, some were ragged common people, and even There are also clan members who wear red/yellow belts around their waists.

Shi Duo also has a naturally keen sense of smell in politics, so even if he knows that Lafayette doesn't like to hear what he says, that's it, the worst he can do is not be an official anymore!

Sure enough, Cixi above could not hear what she wanted to hear, and immediately said with a livid face:

"Everyone has shrunk up now, right? They're all silent and silent, right?! Okay, you're doing very well!"

"Get out! Get out! Get out of here, everyone!! Lao Zhongtang, the Emperor and you guys are staying here."

Although the Minister of Military Aircraft headed by Shi Duo and others were scolded, they immediately rolled up their sleeves and retreated with a sigh of relief as if they were being pardoned.

These neutrals are really suffering from staying here, but they will not bear the corresponding risks.

In the Ming Dynasty, ministers educated their children, saying that the rule of survival in the court was "a thousand words are worth a moment of silence." Talking less is the secret to a long-term success as an official!

After seeing the "neutralists" leaving, Cixi looked at Li Lianying next to her.

Li Lianying, the eunuch, was famous for relying entirely on guessing what was going on. She immediately said in a sharp voice:

"Everyone is thinking about fighting, right?! Now that the Korean defense line has collapsed, the Japanese have divided into two groups. One group is going north to threaten the ancestral tomb, and the other group is going south and is approaching Shanhaiguan, which is only six or seven meters away from Gyeonggi. It’s a hundred miles away.”

"Now the Huai Army has reluctantly gathered a few battalions, and you are just saying that you want to fight. I ask you, what are you going to fight with the little Japs!? These defeated generals, or do you want to fight on your own?"

"Besides, even if we have blocked Japan's southward offensive, what about the ones in the north? Don't you know who the current Fengtian General Daku is? He has been smoking opium since he was sixteen and playing with women. Do you expect him to be able to guard Fengtian and protect the tombs of our ancestors?"

It is said that Li Lianying has been in this hall for five or six hours, and he has been thinking about these words for a long time. When he said it, no one dared to say it! Because there is no way to answer this question.

If you accept it, you will have to bear the responsibility for the Japanese army's invasion of Beijing and the frightening of your ancestors in their tombs! This responsibility involves confiscating the family, exterminating the clan and beheading them.

To be honest, the only person in the palace who can stand up to refute Li Lianying at this time is Li Gongzhang, who holds military power. But his current attitude was clear when he knelt in front of Cixi three days ago... .

Seeing that the ministers were speechless, Li Lianying looked around proudly:

"Let me tell you, since there is nothing we can do, we might as well take advantage of the advantage at sea, and there are still some chips on the Nagasaki side, so we can finish it quickly and still have some dignity."

"When the army really forces the capital and Shengjing is attacked, then if you want to negotiate peace, you will have to make an alliance under the city. Then you will have to bleed and cut your flesh. The emperor may even issue an imperial edict to punish himself!"
