for the Qing Dynasty demolition workers

Zhang Yunfei has always been against foreigners, fighting against Spain, robbing him | The Rupee, and taught the Japanese fleet a lesson in the Andaman Sea. In fact, it should be regarded as an act of avenging the Qing Dynasty. In this case, he did not want to establish a country overseas and become an emperor. Instead, he was willing to return to China to be a general of Shengjing. It was enough to show his love and sentiment." Yu Shimei nodded and analyzed

Li Hongzhang was very depressed. He knew that these people had been confused by domestic newspaper reports. So he stamped his feet and said, "Look at how you look. Even those who have long experienced and knowledgeable think so. Then don't ordinary people in China regard Zhang Yunfei as a god to save the country and the people? This is Zhang Yunfei's cleverness. He has already influenced the domestic public opinion and made his heroic image deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. His heart is punishable!"

"But, according to the lord, Zhang Yunfei has a powerful 6th Army. Why don't he attack the Qing Dynasty directly? I think once the war starts, even if the Qing Dynasty is not destroyed, at least half of the country should be worthy of Zhang Yunfei. So he might even force the court to move the capital? Why is he willing to return to China to be a small general in Shengjing?" Luo Fenglu picked up Li Hongzhang's words and asked.

Li Hongzhang nodded and said, "This is also the way I am puzzled! Logically speaking, he doesn't have to be wronged by himself to do this! He is a Manchu himself. Even if he starts a war, Manchus will not be very disgusted and have a violent resistance. He has always influenced the Han people of the Qing Dynasty as Zhang Yunfei, instead of proclaiming that he is actually called Zarari Yunfei. In this way, the Han people have a good impression of Zhang Yunfei. It can be said that he has a reputation. In this way, as long as Zhang Yunfei solves the problem of the Qing Dynasty royal family, it can be said that the problems in the world will be solved."

"My lord means that Zhang Yunfei only needs to successfully control the royal family and usurp the throne! And the power that really rebels in the end is only the power that is loyal to the royal family!"

Yu Shimei was talking but felt someone pulling his back. When she turned around, she saw Luo Fenglu and saw Luo Feng wink at him. She looked at Li Hongzhang again. Yu Shimei then followed Luo Feng's eyes and saw Li Hongzhang's expression. She immediately understood that she had said the wrong thing.

Because Li Hongzhang once promised Zeng Guofan to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty when he was dying. This was already an open secret in Beiyang.

Stop him.

"It's okay. Ruomei. You said nothing wrong. I don't mean to blame you!" Li Hongzhang said.

"Sir. Don't mind if you say something unpleasant!" Luo Fenglu nodded when he saw Li Hongzhang and continued, "In fact, the current situation is very clear, from the princes and ministers in the court to the governors of the provinces. His heart is like a mirror. In name, each of them is under the jurisdiction of the court and in fact, they are all in charge of their own government and officials. They just want to get money from their homes. How can there be a real person in charge? In recent years, if it weren't for the adults to piece together to shelter the wind and rain for the Qing Dynasty, it will be over early in the morning!"

"Stop!" Li Hongzhang immediately shouted: "No nonsense!"

Seeing that Li Hongzhang was unhappy, Luo Fenglu had to shut up.

"Zhang Yunfei must have wanted to achieve his dominance at the lowest cost. His intention is to be punished! I must not let him live a good life!" Li Hongzhang, after a series of questions from Luo Fenglu and Yu Shimei, understood Zhang Yunfei's purpose instead.

"Sir. Zhang Yunfei is huge. The court has the empress dowager to take charge. His uncle Yike Tang A's attention. You must think twice!" Yu Shimei said worriedly.

His worries are reasonable. Zhang Yunfei is indeed powerful and even foreigners will give him some face. Li Hongzhang is now losing power. The ministers in the court are determined not to speak to him.

"Sir, think twice!" Luo Fenglu also said hurriedly.

Li Hongzhang waved his hand to stop the two of them and said, "Don't worry. Yun Fei can still eat me? As long as there is no chaos in the country, the capital will focus on defense and the empress dowager will take charge. Zhang Yunfei will have no excuses in the short term!"

"But sir, what are you fighting with Zhang Yunfei?" Luo Fenglu said. He didn't think Li Hongzhang had any capital to fight with Zhang Yunfei.

The world is in a cool and cold state. As the saying goes, the tree falls and the monks are scattered. The era when Li Hongzhang dominated the powerful ministers of the Qing Dynasty has passed.

"Don't worry, I will not confront Zhang Yunfei. I will not hit people with a smile. Zhang Yunfei thought about the words of the people and pretended to be a big heart. We can take the opportunity to make trouble for him. Although I have many enemies, there are many disciples and officials. As long as I drag him to his twenties, I have already been buried in peace at that time. It is also a good teacher for the old man!" Li Hongzhang bowed his fists to the southwest.

The mentor Li Hongzhang mentioned was Zeng Guofan, a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, who had been in his life.

Seeing Li Hongzhang's whiteness, his two sons, Li Jingfang and Li Jingshu, had red eyes. They had already arrived at Li Hongzhang's condition from doctors in Canadian hospitals. They had not lived for a few years.

Of course.

Never tell Li Hongzhang what he knows. Don’t look at his expression. Li Hong|He is in his own condition. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have said what he said just now.

"Sir. Didn't the court say that when you return to China, have you appointed to serve as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi? The two are the main taxes of the Qing Dynasty. Nearly half of the court's money and grain are in the hands of the adults. At that time, the big ones only need to reorganize the army and prepare for military affairs, rebuild a modern 6th army and navy, and then compete with Zhang Yunfei for a long and short period of time." Luo Feng said.

Luo Fenglu’s suggestions are still very unique. Guangdong and Guangxi are indeed rich in money and food. The Qing Dynasty is definitely not allowed to play with Guangdong and Guangxi.

Li Hongzhang nodded and said, "What Jichen said makes sense. I also think so. But the problem we need to solve first is to prevent Zhang Yunfei from digging the corners of my husband and the Ting everywhere!"

Poaching? Everyone was stunned at the same time.

"Sir, you're too worried! This guy from Beiyang is not as good as a child!" Yu Shimei asked softly.

"It's so impossible? Isn't Shikai just a son? It would be fine if he didn't help him in time. Instead, he fell into the well | Shi. He persuaded the adults to hand over the military power and give up the position of governor of Zhili! And he actually followed Rong, the treacherous villain. Now he is mingling in the new army in Xiaozhan. It's so majestic!" Luo Fenglu said angrily.

"Forget it. Don't mention him. Doing unrighteous things will kill you. God will punish him!" Yu Shimei patted Luo Feng's shoulder and Dao.

Li Hongzhang waved his hand to stop the two of them and said, "Don't say he's going to rain. Mom wants to get married. Let him go! Everyone has their own ambitions. I don't want to force anyone! I have already thought about it just now. As long as I can keep the Qing Dynasty for one day, I will definitely not allow Zhang Yunfei to move a hair from the royal family!"

"Sir, are you going to deal with Zhang Yunfei?" Yu Shimei asked.

His words are not unreasonable. Li Hongzhang, what about Zhang Yunfei fighting? Since Li Hongzhang did not force the old Beiyang ministers to follow him, the support he received would be greatly reduced.

Now Zhang Yunfei's reputation is booming. Although the Navy Office is just a foil, he is just a military officer from a province.

There is nothing big on the surface. In fact, Zhang Yunfei has his own 6th army and a powerful navy outside. As long as he uses his brains, he is also possible to take over the power.

On the contrary, Li Hongzhang is now powerful and has no financial resources. In addition, he is old and has a slim ending!

Of course, Li Hongzhang knew these joints. Although the ending was worrying, his purpose was to do his best. Everything depends on destiny.

Thinking of this, Li Hongzhang said: "We do not have enough strength to deal with Zhang Yunfei. We cannot do it in military affairs and money. But in politics, the court knew that Zhang Yunfei had the support of Britain and other powerful people, so he allowed him to return to China to do business. It would be even more impossible to defeat him."

"Then..." Luo Fenglu was about to ask why, but Li Hongzhang waved his hand and interrupted him.

He continued: "Since Zhang Yun does not want to spend too much force on the country, he must establish and maintain his reputation among the people. We will take advantage of this only opportunity to hold on. As long as the court treats Yun Fei well, it is difficult for him to not give any excuses. With the support of some royalists, the Qing Dynasty can still be maintained."

"Wasn't Zhang Yunfei becoming another Duolgun and Ao from the Qing Dynasty?" Luo Feng said.

"There is nothing to do! It's time for the Qing Dynasty. I think the emperor must have understood it. If it doesn't reform and reform, it's not difficult to count Zhang Yunfei. It will eventually be a devastated country." Li Hongzhang said helplessly.

In his eyes, early morning is the evening. According to the laws of history, if a large-scale peasant uprising broke out in China, if there is no suppression in a short period of time, it is a precursor to the change of dynasty.

It was precisely the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom righteousness that had troubled most of China and exhausted the only little vitality of the Qing Dynasty. If it weren't for his mentor Zeng Guofan and Hongzhang's own desperate efforts, the Qing Dynasty would either be replaced by the dynasty or would be trapped in a situation of fragmented warlord separatism.

In fact, even the current situation is almost the same as the warlord separatist. The great powers have a huge impact on the governors and officials within the strength of each district. During the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, a sentence from Britain. Liu Kun, the governor of Liangjiang, dared to reject Emperor Guangxu's order to transfer the Nanyang Navy to the north twice.

Although there are some factors within personal grudges, Li Hongzhang believes that the influence of the great powers and the factors that governors and governors have the upper hand.

"Since the adult has decided, my subordinates should follow him! I wonder if he should go back to Guangdong and Guangxi first or return to Beijing first?" Luo Fenglu asked.

"Of course I'll go to Beijing first. As soon as I come to report this global inspection to the empress dowager and the emperor to know. In addition, I'm going to meet Zhang Yunfei to see where he turned into a fairy!" Li Hongzhang said with a smile.
