Chapter 36 Two thoughts
When Beijing was bustling with people, the lights were still as bright as day in a three-entry bungalow on the side of the Ganqing Palace.
Several important officials who were still wearing court crowns sat around in danger, twisting their beards and fiddling with court beads. Some people were still pretending to cough and their eyes were chaotic, but they refused to speak first.
This inconspicuous house is the central organization of the Qing government, a military office established during the Yongzheng period due to the war in the western frontier. It is a real military and national important place.
The few people here are all military ministers. People at that time regarded them as prime ministers.
Weng Tonghe was also among them, but he was more solemn than anyone else. He looked at the nose and the nose, and looked at the heart without looking at it.
Sitting at the center was Shi Duo, the current head of the military minister, the Aisin Jueluo clan, who was conquered Prince Li. After Prince Gong Yi was driven out of the center, he and Guangxu's biological father, Prince Chun Yihuan, were both the foreman military aircraft. After Yihuan's past last year, he was the first to be the first to be a clan minister.
Seeing that everyone was not talking, he sighed and patted the memorials piled up like a mountain: "Look, with foreign telegrams, replying, who should I see the governor of the world? Zhili is the first, Liangjiang is the second, Huguang is the third. The three governors all agreed to revise. Li Hongzhang was very generous and agreed to train the new army in Zhili. Liu Kun from Liangjiang was cautious and quoted from a long set of classics. In the end, he still thought that we should train the new army... Zhang Zhidong of Huguang was soon jumping up. He said that training the new army is a major event in Bangning, and he was practicing self-reliant army in Huguang... In short, everyone agreed. What do you mean?"
Another veteran military aircraft with blue flags, Ele and Bu were so old that they could hardly straighten their waists. They asked cautiously: "What does the Lord Lafayette mean?"
As soon as he said this, everyone was energetic. Shi Duo glanced at them: "The meaning of the Lord Lao Fu has been passed down, and the new army must be trained! This is a fundamental matter of the country. If you can practice it, you can also straighten your back in front of foreigners..." He glanced at Weng Tonghe, Sun Yuwen and a few Han officials. He swallowed the following half of the sentence.
This imperial guard is also the backer of the bannermen... How much thought did Mr. Zeng Wenzheng's tiger and wolf Hunan Army have? Zeng Guofan went to Beijing and the first thing he said to him when he met was: "How many soldiers did you bring this time?" Zeng Guofan was so scared that he returned to the guild hall and sweated all night.
Now that Han ministers are becoming more powerful, it is not a problem to rely on balance and restraints of the governors from all over the country. The Hunan Army has declined, and the newly-launched supervisors are far from being rivals of Li Hongzhang. Although the superiors are not worried about Li Hongzhang's loyalty, this is not a problem! When the Imperial Guards are practiced, Lao Fu thought it was a good thing that has been completely destroyed.
Unfortunately, these words cannot be said by Han officials.
As soon as Cixi heard the words, the atmosphere between the military aircraft suddenly became lively, and they clasped their fists and chanted the saints.
Shi Duo knocked on the table again: "Our affairs are not that simple! We have to train soldiers, but what about people? What about people? Old man, this is your beginning and end. Who doesn't know that the censors Hanlin who wrote the letters are your students? Tell me, how do I reply to Lafayette? What should I do if I pay for people and people? How do Li Hongzhang cook there?"
Weng Tonghe stroked his beard: "Prince Li, students have considered this matter long ago. The general manager also needs to be appointed by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. The ministers dare not talk nonsense... But Xu Dao, who was specially promoted to the emperor, thought it was available! This is a rare talent, who is well-versed in the military affairs of the West, a film is written in detail. As for the salary... If you practice the Imperial Guards and the customs directly allocate the silver from Beiyang, I think it can be used there. In the shortage, you can build a town first, and then wait for the salary to be slowly increased. A training camp can be cut, and you can recruit an additional guard... On Xu Daozhangchen, there is another student who also thinks it is an urgent task. Now you should select the children of nobles, honors and relatives, study abroad, and learn how the army and navy practice wars. This talent can be continuously supplied... Is it a hundred years to cultivate people! Students have just a little knowledge, what does Prince Li think?"
Shi Duo hesitated and picked up the tea bowl: "Can Li Hongzhang be willing? Last year, he wanted to build the three seas and lay off 5,000 Beiyang soldiers to provide a source of income. After thinking about it, he still couldn't do it. I looked hard!"
Weng Tonghe and Sun Yuwen looked at each other and turned their eyes open. The bannerman has been respectful and has been in peace for a long time. Apart from accompanying the food and painting, it is not easy to find someone who understands it. People like Prince Gong are rare.
He gritted his teeth: "Liu Kun, Liangjiang, once he was transferred to Zhili, Li Hongzhang, and Liangjiang! Only in this way can he be treated!"
With a bang, the tea bowl in Shiduo's hand fell to the ground.
"Come on, please take it lightly, I take it deeper, Lord Yang. Let's stop when we get drunk!"
Xu Yifan diligently poured a bowl of wine for Yang Shixiang and filled it with it.
Yang Shixiang visited in a low dress, but he knew there was something important. The two walked for a long time before they found a tavern that had not been cut. They made a plate of salt beans, a plate of tofu, and two pots of turbid wine. They put on a heart-to-heart talk.
Zhang Yu was guarding the door of the store, guarding the movement outside. Chen Luoshi and Du Juan were waiting beside him.
In the tavern, there were no one else except the four of them.
Seeing Xu Yifan get up and pour wine, Chen Luoshi quickly came over and poured them carefully. He stepped aside again.
Du Juan sat silently on the side, carefully folding the vest he took off for Xu Yifan, carefully dusting every bit of dust on it.
Yang Shixiang looked at the tall Chen Luoshi with a little strange look, probably complaining about Xu Yifan's aesthetic view in his heart.
He looked at the crude wine and food on the table again. Yang Caizi, who was used to enjoying it, frowned quietly. Zhan Yan smiled and said, "I should call you Master Xu. It's only a few months since you arrived in Beijing. It's a special order to promote it. In a few days, I'm afraid that my brother won't stand in front of you and salute me?"
Xu Yifan saw him and raised his glass with a bold look: "Come on, let's go!"
"Go one? Who will go? Where can we go?"
"The relationship is deep, and the feeling is shallow. The relationship is shallow. Lord Yang, do you think our relationship is deep or shallow!"
Yang Shixiang smiled bitterly. This kid pretended to be stupid and really pretended to be good! I don’t know where he learned these fresh words. He hurriedly held Xu Yifan’s hand: “Brother Xu…Brother Xu! I’m not in a hurry to drink, I came for your letter.”
Xu Yifan stopped the wine glass and looked at Yang Shixiang with a smile. However, Yang Shixiang's eyes were deep and glanced at the two little girls sitting beside him.
Xu Yifan smiled and said, "It's okay, this is the person I serve in my room. What do you say in sir? Even if you say it, it's okay."
Yang Shixiang sighed lightly: "Isn't it still a matter of stirring up the mist of Beijing for a break? This training of the Imperial Guards is already a must. Zhili's new army is not directed to Li Zhongtang's business? If there is a new army, the Beiyang will be deposed. If you want to decree Beiyang, you will be transferred from Zhili. Li Zhongtang does not care about this position. However, the little strength of Beiyang defending the country that he has worked hard to manage will inevitably be destroyed by the enemy in the court! I am just wondering, Mr.'s design has become a success and will be limitless... But why do you still have to keep it trust me and say things to you and can easily resolve it as long as you find you?"
His eyes were bright: "Shi Xiang is Lu, and he once did not believe in his trust. Unexpectedly, the recent trends in Beijing are as the teacher said everywhere! The Beiyang is like the wind and rain are swaying. How can you teach me?"
