Chapter 33 Half of the River

With the amazing sudden change in the overall situation from southern Liaoning to Liangjiang, the 21st year of Guangxu seemed chaotic and excited from the beginning. Some people in all kinds of people lamented that the world was in chaos, and the quiet and leisure of the past never came again. Some people were excited and their eyes were shining at this turbulent chaotic world. In addition, the death of the Japanese Jay Teng was used as a footnote. On the land of Northeast Asia, everyone was consciously or unconsciously involved in the trend set off by Xu Yifan.

Jiangning Supervisory Office is the center of this trend. Among the Jiangning nursery rhymes, there are already lyrics of Wukong becoming the Jade Emperor. Liangjiang Supervisory Office, which was a little quiet and murderous in the past, has been coming and going here. How many things should be summarized here. The movements of the governors and governors in various places should be sent to the Supervisory Office in time. How to further sue for pens and inks should also be issued here. However, what makes those subordinates who are excited and running for great causes depressed is that after the tide started, Xu Dashang became lazy and didn't manage much, which is a quarrel with all over the country.

He handed over all the dog meat tents to Zhang Peilun to take care of. The only guest of Xu Yifan, who is not responsible for his name, is Jiangning City. No, the whole country is full of dazzling stars. Some people are no longer talking jealously. Zhang Peilun is really good at fighting! When he saw Qingliu's reputation, he thought Qingliu was famous all over the world, and suddenly he changed from a small Jingqing to an imperial envoy in Fujian. The ponytail was defeated and he held Li Hongzhang's thick legs again. Li Hongzhang collapsed, and now he is Xu Yifan's think tank. Who can compare with this kind of vision?

Zhang Peilun heard this gossip, just let it go. Xu Yifan gave him all these things for a reason. After all, the local governor and Xu Yifan had no friendship. The official was so angry that he could not bear to show his loyalty. Zhang Peilun traveled for half his life and had a relationship all over the world. Any governor could make a few words in a circle, let alone those governors from Huai. He was pimping and talking about conditions, which was the most suitable candidate. He was also willing to give in and was not afraid of showing up in this limelight.

At this time, in the flower hall of the Supervisor, Xu Yifan was doing something that the three people in the inner house led by Li Xuan hated. He was sitting opposite Xiuning, holding a chess piece and talking, and the tide was stirring up, so he was very idle.

Xu Yifan's chess skills are of course not very good. Just a few new fixed-style novices from later generations surprised Xiuning a little. Xiuning was already known as a female national player in the capital. In the past few days, playing chess with Xu Yifan has been much harder than meeting a master. He was cautious and had to give him no trace. The most disgusting thing is that Xu Yifan knew that he was giving him, but he was still a scoundrel to see that he was alone and he was still rogue and saw that he was alone and did not make up for it. Instead, he started a war everywhere - as if he had expected that Xiuning would not slaughter his big dragon so disrespectfully. Seeing Xu Yifan taking one step at a time, he forced Xiuning to kill a big dragon with great joy. Xiuning held a white piece and knocked on the chessboard with annoyance: "Master, your big dragon is only breathless! That eye is fake, why don't you fix it quickly?"

Xu Yifan took a look and sure enough, a large piece of dead chess was placed there for a long time. Xiuning kept holding back and not taking action, which was to give him face. He didn't feel embarrassed, and laughed and disrupted the chessboard: "...Who said I was just one eye? Now, two places in Liangjiang and Liaonan, I have already survived with two eyes! If you don't play with you, your chess skills are too low and you are not satisfied."

Xiuning smiled faintly: "Yes, compared to the great coach, you use heaven and earth as chessboard and heroes as chess pieces, the little girl can't compare to this kind of chess power..."

The weather was already deep and Xiuning was wearing a white marten fur, which made her look as snowy. These days, Jiangning City knew the situation of the Supervisor, and who didn't know this shocking thing! A rare and beautiful woman among the bannermen often came to worship Xu Yifan alone. The two of them sat down and talked about it. There was no time or two that could not be taken down. But I can only think about this kind of thing, not to say, and no one would have to give Xu Yifan a straight line for this matter!

In fact, this is just that. Since Xu Yifan has reached a critical moment on the road to usurping the Qing Dynasty, all the details of the imperial center must be in control as much as possible. The general trend has been established. When creating the general trend, it is better to cut and kill them. When the final transformation, how to try to be as stable as possible and damage the national vitality as little as possible is a technical task. Learn more about the thoughts of the orphans and widows of the imperial court, and understand that they have the means of dealing with it, which is only good and no harm. Especially since Xu Yifan made such a shocking move in southern Liaoning, Beijing City could not have no reaction! Understand the actions they might do, and there will be measures to target them in the future. Xiuning has been frequently called in the past few days. Xu Yifan asked these things, and Xiuning also knew everything.

For Xiuning, the delusion of saving the fortunes of the Qing Dynasty in the last days had long disappeared. Her knowledge was extraordinary among the men of the world, but in front of Xu Yifan, she could only hide her weakness. God knows how this guy knows so clearly about the hearts of the world, the trends, and even the general trends of the world! Xiuning's only request at this time was that she hoped that once Xu Yifan was reborn, the flag clan could survive the safety and not follow the fate of the dragon, son, phoenix grandson in the end of history.

Xu Yifan's handling of the two banner tribes in Jingkou, Jiangning was an unprecedented benevolent government for a change of dynasty. Ten years of double taxation punishment also made the people feel a little suffocating because they were riding on their heads for two hundred years. Xiuning stayed in Jiangning, on the one hand, guarding his old brother, on the other hand, if there were banner tribes who were injustice and were bullied by rogues on the street, he had to complain to Xu Yifan. Generally speaking, it was too much, Xu Yifan passed on Bai Siwen and asked him to take care of him. Others only smiled: "It's inevitable that he will be bullied, it's not like this, I'm afraid they will still find it difficult to integrate into the big nation! How can people get ahead in the whole life? It's not adults, adults are uncomfortable, and knowing that the world is difficult will not harm them!"

When people are forced to rely on themselves, they always show their abilities that they would not even expect. It was during the New Year Festival that there were many small stalls of the banner people in Jiangning City. Those northern-style snacks for New Year are sold in one set, and everyone is looking forward to freshness and takes care of the business. The bannermen have been playing for more than 200 years and are thinking about how to eat and how to play. Most of their skills are very clever. They are craftsmen who have been tidy up and tied up, and their skills are no less than years old. After a day of busyness, they can see their fortunes.

I had a few burgers at home, so I just opened a mutton hotpot shop with copper stove charcoal fire. They were scammers of eating and were really good at making it. The weather was cold, and the business of several new stores was really good! In these shops, the people who ran the hall were the banner clans, and the people who settled the accounts were also the banner clans. Anyway, the banner clans were many literate. When the guests came, they were so kind and attentive. Even if they had no appetite, they had to come and see the freshness. Maybe they were just an earl who was welcoming guests to greet guests!

Unlike others expected, not only did not have tens of thousands of corpses in the city, but most of them were able to work hard. Of course, there were also those who were unable to make a living, and they had to keep the airs of the great master even if they died. If such people starved to death, it would be a pity for the bannermen themselves!

The Jiangning Banner tribe is like this, and at least his old brother doesn't look as confused as he was back then. Xiuning has lost much less of the sadness at that time. Thanks to Xu Yifan for both things, Xiuning really told all the things in the palace ban. Xiuning also tried her best to give her judgment on how the bannermen and nobles deal with the current situation. Although most of the time, Xu Yifan just listened to her judgment lightly and did not express any appreciation, as if except for the inside story of the powerful and nobles in Beijing, the other opinions of Xiuning, whether there is or not, are the same.

After dealing with Xu Yifan for a lot, Xiuning also understood Xu Yifan's character. When it comes to being easy-going, he is still really easy-going, and his conversation is elegant, but he just occasionally makes a little swear word. He is a very confident and decisive person in his bones. He never attaches importance to women's abilities, but he tolerate and cares for girls very much. He does not have the domineering manner that men in this era domineering manner - he tolerate girls so much, and is not afraid of the little man.

, but treats women as weak from the bottom of his heart. This kind of machismo hidden underneath makes Xiuning sometimes unable to help but feel angry. When he is in the capital, who dares to treat her as a female person! Emperor Guangxu sometimes cannot get out of the house of Lao Fu, and he still secretly finds her this way! But Xu Yifan just thinks she is a weak woman. She is so amazing that she has read a little more books and has some brains. Her insight is far from Xu Yifan!

In anger, Xiuning was a little childish and never took her twin sisters to the Supervisor again. Knowing that you like to see them, you would look down on them!

The chess game was disturbed, and Xu Yifan smiled proudly at Xiuning, but Xiuning was a little confused. The famous general in front of him was just a young man with beautiful eyes and healthy eyes, and his white teeth were revealed when he smiled. What was the reason that made him do such a big career!

Seeing that she didn't speak, Xu Yifan reached out and shook her: "What are you thinking?"

Xiuning's face turned red for no reason: "Master... I'm thinking that the sworn brother of Dacheng this time is probably a big hit in the north. The minister of the Later Party has no reason to restrain him. He should let him let go, right?"

Xu Yifan smiled, and his white teeth were dazzling: "Good thing, I really want to see, my sworn brother, have you made any progress?" Xu Yifan accidentally helped Tan Sitong to eliminate all obstacles. If he couldn't help the court like this, Tan Fusheng, Tan Fusheng, you should give up, right?

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Zhang Peilun's smiley voice coming from outside the flower hall: "Master, the business has finally started!"

Xu Yifan was stunned. He and Xiu Ning were talking about things here. To be honest, they were just lazy. They couldn't wait to run away in the inner house during the day, so it would be too unspeakable to see the people below. Taking the opportunity to steal half a day of leisure is also considered relaxation. After all, there is a beautiful woman in front of him, which is much better than a group of stinky men! In terms of laziness, he and Chu Wanli are the eldest brother and don't laugh at the second brother.

Besides, Xiuning, the princess of the banner, can be called "interpretation". She is elegant in her conversation, proficient in both piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has a pitiful temperament. She can forget the world after talking for half a day. But she has not brought loli twins recently, and it is a pity...

Others also know a little about the habit of being a great man. When he and Xiuning were alone, no one would be so ignorant to disturb him. Zhang Peilun came here and would not disturb him without any major events. But when he heard his smile, it was clearly a happy event. When he moved his mind, he also grew up: "Yuqiao, which governor expressed his opinion first?"

Zhang Peilun walked in with a smile. His eyes were dark circles, but he was in great spirits. He nodded to Xiuning as a greeting. Xiuning was also tactful, and stood up and bowed with a smile and said with a smile. Zhang Peilun looked at her back with an admiring look and said with a smile: "A woman from the banner, Lingxiu is afraid that she will be on her. She will forget the customs when she sees it. Is it intentional?"

"The three of them at home can't be settled! Now I don't have the time to do this!" Xu Yifan didn't care about Zhang Peilun's joke: "Which governor is so good at betting that he rushed to burn his head and said incense?"

"Hunanfu Wu Dahui! The Grand Marshal, but he didn't expect it was him! Zhang Nanpi from the two lakes still hesitated, and Wu Dahui was ahead! Finally opened, Wu Dahui consulted the Grand Marshal and was willing to pay 1.5 million taels!"

Wu Dahui, Xu Yifan, also knew that he liked to talk about new learning and martial arts. He practiced foreign guns at the Supervisor's School, and claimed that he had shot every opportunity. When the Huai Army was defeated in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, he even submitted a statement to revive the Hunan Army and searched the nobles of Hunan Army to form an army. He went north to recover the lost land and met the Japanese devils. The court also approved his statement. The new Hunan Army had just arrived in Hubei and had not yet boarded the ship. Xu Yifan had already defeated the devils. The Hunan Reverend praised Xu Yifan's Wulie. This time the court stolen Korea and Xu Yifan went north to protect the country. It was probably very popular with this kind of brave governor. Since he made up his mind, he grabbed it and served 1.5 million taels at once!

Xu Yifan and Zhang Peilun looked at each other and smiled. With the first person in this matter, people naturally followed suit. Not to mention that Li Hongzhang had already called in Hefei to express his opinion and was willing to make some efforts in this matter of funding! At the tide, the world was in a turmoil. Most people had seen that their energy was about to change, and they were indeed thinking about change. The only thing that was hindered was the system of monarch and ministers for more than 200 years. Now the governor Wu Dahui has fired his first shot, which has been deprived of this last face. The rest is nothing more than following the waves!

Zhang Peilun still laughed and said, "Although the other governors have not made any statements, they are almost the same. The court issued an edict to transfer Tan Fusheng's father, Tan Ji-suo, who was in the village, to come out of the mountain and transfer from the governor of Hubei to the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang. Looking at this, one is to really use Tan Fusheng, and the other is to see if he can put a nail behind the commander's two rivers. As a result, today we have received news that the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang Xu Yingji said that the war has not yet ended, and the Japanese army is still entrenched south of Korea.

In Zhejiang, military affairs have not yet stabilized, and the coastal defense is still heavy. Suddenly, the new agent of such a defense committee may be unexpected. The court asked the court to temporarily postpone the issuance of this appointment. Once the military affairs are over, he Xu Yingji immediately said, going to Beijing to report his duties - the Grand Marshal, now everyone dares to challenge the court! I see, Xu Yingji should immediately express his opinion with the Grand Marshal and wants to cooperate with the funds. Fujian and Zhejiang have expressed their attitude, so Guangdong and Guangxi naturally cannot escape. Guangdong and Guangxi, Lianghu, Fujian and Zhejiang, Liangjiang... half of the country is no longer owned by the imperial court!"

"There are still many smart people in this world..." Xu Yifan just replied indifferently. The situation has developed so much that he was not as excited as he had imagined.

"Master, what should we do next?"

"When the governors and governors have finished their choice of sides, they will be willing to go to Jiangning City - or whatever place. Everyone will come to a stable rear... Youqiao, I'm afraid I will have to break my promise by then..."

"Master, what promise?"

Xu Yifan looked at the chessboard and smiled faintly: "... Enter Beijing City. Maybe, if you don't need to break your promise, this glorious Qing Dynasty will fall down... I really can't see what else they can do to revive the remaining mountains and rivers!"

In the Leshou Hall of Foxiang Pavilion, Cixi and Guangxu sat silently opposite each other without saying a word for a long time. Only Li Lianying was the only one serving the mother and mother. The old eunuch stood not far away and wiped his eyes from time to time.

The atmosphere is already extremely desolate. But the times are like this, what can I do?

Xu Yifan used this trick, and the Summer Palace was like being struck by lightning. When the news came, it was rare that Cixi was in a good mood. The opera troupe was coming to lively on the first day of the New Year. Guangxu naturally served, and the nobles of the royal family and the six ministers and nine ministers could come to accompany him, as they were to celebrate the New Year for the emperor and the Empress Dowager Empress Dowager.

The stage was just when the gongs and drums were boisterous, and the news came. At that moment, Cixi almost fell off the bed! The eunuchs shouted to stop the gongs and drums, and everyone was frozen on the stage, and everyone under the stage was like clay sculptures and wooden sculptures!

At that time, I was afraid that everyone would have a sentence in their hearts: "The Qing Dynasty is about to end!"

Seeing Cixi sitting there with a blue face without saying anything, Guangxu immediately knelt beside Cixi. The noble girls serving Cixi were all silent. At that time, Cixi shouted out in a decent manner: "Go and vote for Xu Yifan! Sign a secret agreement, he can know. If I hope Ike Tang, he will immediately surrender. Even a princess who often serves her would wish she could go to Jiangning. It would be better to die in this day! Do you think you can come up with a way? Otherwise, when Xu Yifan enters Beijing, everyone will line up to go to the court!" After that, Cixi left in anger. Miss Li was still proud of Cixi scolding Xiuning. She wanted to come up and show her diligence and help Cixi leave, but was slapped by Cixi who was angry!

Cixi's long nails scratched Li's face with blood. The situation at that time made the palace maids cry and scream, and she was very scared to death on the spot. In the next few days, the originally joyful Summer Palace was like a cemetery!

As the matter was about to come, I had to find a way to deal with it. First, I sent a telegram to Shiduo and asked him to return to Beijing to investigate. I mean, Shiduo wanted to take the blame first. Then I sent a telegram to the governors of various places, asking them not to pay attention to Xu Yifan's joint payment and the court supported their support.

In fact, they expected the result. Most of the governors from all over the country were vague, and some even called back the court and asked the court why they had signed such a secret contract for stolen the country without authorization. They tried to move the position of a governor, and used Tan Jisheng to pick up the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang to see if everyone gave Tan Sitong the Qingliu hope. The result was the first time in the Qing Dynasty. Xu Yingji, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, refused to explain!

The prospect of the Qing Dynasty falling apart seems to be right in front of you!

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Tan Sitong hurried back to Beijing. Guangxu seemed to be catching a life-saving straw. He hurriedly told him that he had arrived at the Summer Palace. The king and his ministers cried and said, "It's been a whole day." Today, Guangxu came to meet Cixi, and he only had one meaning in his words. He gave power to Tan Sitong and asked him to train a new army out!"

The prestige of the court was extremely weak because the court thought that the Great Wall was the basis of the Great Wall to shock the local Beiyang force and was divided and divided. Apart from the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, the court had no place to conquer the place. To reorganize authority, there was only one who could train a new army to come out!

The court has been practicing the new army for a long time, but has not started. First, because this matter is really difficult, no one does not have the ability to start from scratch. Second, who will train this new army and who is in control? Who can not know the indescribable scheming between Cixi and Guangxu?

But now, what else can I do?

"Dad, my son is asking for this matter. This soldier must be trained no matter what! Ike Tang's Jilin training army is gone, and Song Qing's Yi army may not be reliable. If there were no soldiers, Xu Yifan would have entered Beijing City at any time!"

Guangxu could no longer hold on and rolled to the ground and cried: "Dad, I can't let my ancestors down! Tan Sitong and Kang Youwei have already patted my husband, saying that in Zhili alone, I could raise a group of 100,000 people, and I don't have to spend any money on the court, just give them a name! Xu Yifan started his business with the financial resources of Dashengkui, but now they have finally persuaded Dashengkui to support the court. This opportunity is our last glimmer of hope! We must not miss it!"

Compared to Guangxu's credibility and vigor, Cixi experienced too many storms. She just looked at Guangxu: "Xu Yifan relied on Dashengkui to train troops? Why does it sound a little linger... Emperor, I didn't stop you from doing anything, why would I still fight for power with you at this time! We mother and mother are tied to a rope now? But if you can't listen to the wind and rain! What I mean is, send more people to Song Qing and try to make your efforts to see if you can quickly transfer Yi Jun... If it still doesn't work..."

Guangxu straightened up and said, "Dad dad?"

Cixi also felt sad in her tone, covering her face and shook her head: "...If Song Qing couldn't count on her, what else would I say? Let's go and make trouble! Let's see if our ancestors and ancestors of the Qing Dynasty still bless us!"
Chapter completed!
