Muravyov said: "Victor, so far, we only know that Shanapova took Marina to Vladivostok. There is no news of Shanapova being arrested. Keep your heart in your stomach. , don’t worry, besides, Shanapova is not a fool, on the contrary, she is very smart and will not show off when she goes to Vladivostok.”
At this point, Muravyov sighed: "I'm not worried about Shanapova, I'm more worried about you."
"What are you worried about me for?"
Victor looked at his father, confused.
Muravyov said: "You like Shanapova, I have no objection, and I would rather you marry Shanapova, because it will help your future official career, and you will be close to a big tree after all, but you Look at her current appearance, what's the use of following Shanapova all the time? It's useless."
Muravyov said angrily: "I want you to remember one thing. As a man, the most important thing is career. If a man doesn't even have his own career, he can only eat and drink with women, and he can only rely on others." Yu Yin, father, what do you use to conquer women? What charm do you have to conquer women?"
"Shanapova was born into the royal family, received a good education, and has a noble status. If you want to conquer such a girl and want her to follow you wholeheartedly, you have to show your charm and your most manly side. , if you lead a few gangsters to fight, or lead a group of dandies to bully some old, weak women and children, you will only make people look down on you and despise you."
Muravyov said with great sadness: "You are putting the cart before the horse now. You haven't done anything you should do, and you are worrying about things you shouldn't do. What you are thinking about now is not about Shanapova, but how to lead the soldiers to attack." Vladivostok, how do you stand out in this war? This is what you should do."
After hearing this, Victor's expression kept changing.
It took him a long time to calm down.
Victor looked like he was being taught and said respectfully: "My son understands. Thank you father for your teaching."
"Go down and reflect."
Muravyov waved his hand and sighed softly in his heart.
This little son of his is really a headache.
Victor turned around and was about to leave. He lowered his head and thought as he walked. Muravyov's words just now were like morning bells and evening drums, reminding him. Just as Victor reached out and was about to open the tent door, a man The figure rushed in, and with a bang, the people rushing in from outside knocked Victor to the ground.
"Asshole, who hit me?"
Victor looked up and fell to the ground, his whole body aching.
The person who rushed in was Konisky. He saw Victor falling and hurriedly helped him.
"Forgive me, sir, I didn't mean it." Koniski apologized quickly.
When Victor saw that the person coming was Konisky, he had no way to vent his anger, because Konisky was his father's right-hand man. After Victor stood up, he suppressed the anger in his heart and asked: "Konis Ji, what happened? You ran in such a hurry, you didn't even look at the road."
Konisky said seriously: "Her Royal Highness Shanapova was arrested by Li Zhen."
"ah,."
Victor's legs weakened and he fell directly to the ground.
Muravyov's body also trembled slightly. Shanapova's arrest was not a trivial matter. If this matter reached the ears of Tsar Alexander II, he would be a symbol of incompetence, because the princess was Being arrested within his jurisdiction, Muravyov took several deep breaths in succession to calm himself down and think quickly.
Victor sat on the ground and asked, "What's going on?"
Koniski replied: "We don't know the specific situation yet, I just know that Her Royal Highness was arrested."
"What are you still doing standing here? Go find out the news immediately." Victor yelled.
"How dare you, when did you get to interfere in the affairs of the army?" Muravyov sighed in his heart when he saw Victor losing his composure. However, Victor ignored him and shouted loudly: "Father, what should I do? What should I do now? , Shanapova was captured by Li Zhen, she is a weak woman, and now she is trapped in a tiger's den, and she is in danger."
Muravyov said: "I know there is danger, you are not the only one who understands it."
Konisky said: "Mr. Governor, do you need to mobilize soldiers and leave immediately?"
Muravyov shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, let's play it steady. Since Li Zhen dares to reveal the news, it proves that Li Zhen has no intention to touch Shanapova for the time being. We will adopt the original plan and still first Join Yishan, and after the two armies have formed an alliance, they will send troops to attack Li Zhen."
"yes."
Konisky glanced at Victor, turned and left.
Victor said: "Father, saving people is like putting out fire. You must save Shanapova first."
Muravyov snorted and said in a deep voice: "Idiot, can't you wake up? Shanapova has been arrested. What is going to happen to her, you can't stop it even if you take the soldiers to Vladivostok immediately. At present, What we can do is to make more comprehensive preparations and prepare a stronger force to attack Li Zhen. This is what we need to do now."
Victor lowered his head, with a stubborn look in his eyes.
…
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Vladivostok is covered in silver.
On this day, snowflakes were falling.
The city is decorated in white, like a fairyland on earth.
However, the city was not calm. Countless people were running around and shouting. The reason was that Li Zhen had someone post a new combat order to equip the people of Vladivostok and prepare them for battle. Li Zhen also issued a notice to Yishan to lead an army of 30,000 people. The news of the killing, as well as the news that Muravyov led his troops to kill, was announced.
A layer of stone set off a thousand waves, and Vladivostok fell into tension again.
The atmosphere is becoming increasingly tense.
In the government office, in the study.
Peng Yulin, Zhang Zhidong, Lu Shaochuan, Yang Luchan and others gathered here. Li Zhen said: "I have brought you here to discuss the next battle arrangements. Everyone knows that Yishan and Muravyov are leading The soldiers are coming, how should we deal with these two armies, whether we should defeat them one by one, or send troops to attack at the same time, put forward any ideas and discuss them."
Peng Yulin said: "Your Majesty, it is easy to deal with Yishan. I have an immature idea. We will support a person in the military camp of Yishan to assist Yishan. As the confidant of Yishan, if there is such a person to support us With his actions, everything becomes more convenient, and even the Russian army can be influenced by such a person."
After Li Zhen heard this, he began to think about the feasibility.
Should we send someone there or support someone?
And, how to implement it.
Zhang Zhidong pondered for a moment, then took the initiative to stand up and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to go. I have just joined your army. Not many people outside know about me, and no one even knows that I exist. After Yishan saw me, I will not doubt it, so it is most suitable for me to go to the camp in Yishan. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely control Yishan after I go there and prepare for Your Majesty to sweep away the Russian army."
Li Zhen said: "Okay, let's go via Zhang Zhidong."
In one sentence, the arrangement for Zhang Zhidong to infiltrate the Yishan army was confirmed.
ps: Three updates, call it a day, four updates tomorrow, work hard during New Year's Day.
