C1252 mutual evasion

Ci An was after all, a Empress Dowager of the East whose status was above Ci Xi, so the urgent military affairs of the Head Office would be sent to the two empress dowager in duplicate. Actually, Ci An received the news even earlier than Ci Xi. After all, Zhou Daoying was more strict with his eunuchs, so the rules in the North Sea and Jingshan were still pretty good.

The first thing that came to Ci An's mind after receiving the secret message was to contact him. The battle at sea had erupted yesterday morning, so before Beijing could receive the news, King of Jiangnan would have definitely received it as well.

Why didn't Ceng Guofan contact the imperial government in time? Ceng Guofan probably never would have thought that such a thing would happen, and was in the middle of multiparty coordination to probe into this matter.

As Ci An shared a bed and bed with the Qing San Ye, Ci An was a representative of the reformist. He would accept all kinds of new things much faster than the Forbidden City.

The Great Clear telegraph network s Channel constructed by the Qing San Ye was not connected to the Forbidden City, but first connected to the Jingshan. In other words, Ci An didn't even need to leave the palace to contact the various places in Kiki's tower.

The telegram quickly reached General Governor's Mansion of Jiangning, and as expected, Ceng Guofan did not rest at all, and immediately called back when he received it.

"It's all true. Ceng Guofan had spies in the Ryukyu and buried things much deeper than the imperial government. According to Ceng Guofan's reports, before the Zhiyuan Warship warships left the port, His Majesty had already entered the port and never came out …"

"As for that army of more than 2,000 people! Sigh … I really did not expect His Majesty to be so powerful. With three hundred guards as his backbone, he has actually pulled out an army of four Battalion Head s! "

"Ah?" "His Majesty trained an army behind the imperial government's back …" Li Hongzao subconsciously opened his mouth, but as soon as he finished speaking, he regretted it and quickly shut it.

Weng Tonghe and the other Military Secretary, Shen Guifang glared at him and quickly resolved the situation, "Lord Li is momentarily at a loss for words, His Majesty is the emperor of the Great Qing, of course he has the rights to train in the new army, it's just that something suddenly happened and Lord Li is a little shocked …"

How could Ci Xi possibly have missed Li Hongzao's words? She huffed and said, "No need to apologize to me, what you said is not wrong! He did not have a personal authority, so what right did he have to train the army? You are too reckless, did you not care about the laws of your ancestors? "

Ci An waved his hand and sat behind the curtain as he spoke softly, "Don't talk about all this anymore. The new army has already been established, and we can talk about how to arrange it in the future. Right now, our priority is to think about how to deal with Russian's anger … Let's get ready for negotiations! "

When these words came out, the entire East Warm Pavilion was depressed, it was foreign relations between foreign nations that was called diplomacy, such things were called negotiation in Great Qing, once people heard of negotiation, it would give them a headache. It was precisely because there were conflicts and problems, that they needed to bargain, haughtily, to compete with each other.

Look at the Foreign Affairs Office. Not only were there struggles, they were also cooperating. They even invited each other to join in on some celebration. It would be so interesting to have some good or bad interactions.

Maybe Li Hongzao didn't get a good rest last night, and didn't go home when it was time to go home. He worked overtime, so it was going to be a problem today. He spoke up again to offend people. "Aiya …" This matter of negotiation is the responsibility of the Head Office. It's better to listen to the views of the Prince … "

What? Yi Yu's eyes immediately lit up. What did I say? A Chinese Officer like you dares to push the responsibility onto me? What are you!

"What Lord Li said is a bit too much, isn't it?" What do we do now? Had the Russian Minister appeared? Did you protest? [He didn't even fart. You want me to negotiate with him? "Hot face on cold butt …"

"No …" "No, that's not what I meant …" Li Hongzao really wanted to slap herself twice. She couldn't sleep at all last night, why was her mind so muddled today?

Master Li did not mean it that way. He just wanted to hear Master Li's opinion and have them discuss things together, not just directly going to Russian Minister to discuss things with him …. "

He had always thought that Zai Chun training the new army was just a child's play, but he never thought that he would really be able to cultivate a strong army of the four Battalion Head's … Why was it a strong army? This was because in the Great Qing, an army that dared to fire their cannons at foreign devils was definitely a strong army, and one that was extremely strong.

What was this little bastard trying to do? To learn from Master Kang Xi and set up the Sly Pounce Camp to kill Ao Bai? In the middle of the court, who was Ao Bai? Damn it, other than me, who else is fit to be Ao Bai?

This brat's heart is quite wild! Was Ao Bai going to be pacified after getting rid of him? To stab the Xiang Army? I see you've done it... Yi Yan, who was in a bad mood, sneered at the old man.

"It's not like I'm the only head minister of Head Office. Right now, our Qing San Ye is in Shanghai to patrol the crisis of Jiangnan Notes. In any case, the matter of negotiation cannot be avoided by the British! "

The strange and sinister voice almost angered Ci An to death. This General Gui Six actually dared to let his precious daughter wade through the muddy water, how could this uncle's heart be so bad!

"That's not right! It was already troublesome enough to drag the Russian into this, now do they still want to drag the British into this? Will France and the United States speak? "Don't be so complicated in the end …"

Yi Xuan subconsciously sniffed the room filled with the smell of gunpowder. Looking at his sister-in-law, his brother and the Chinese Officer who were attacking each other with soft knives, he couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart, "What happened to Great Qing? Why are all of you thinking of your own small gains! "

Ci Xi was also annoyed. Looking at these people fighting and scheming, and thinking about how his own son was still floating on the ocean, a wave of anger rose from her heart.

"Fine, fine, fine. You all don't want to take responsibility, right? It's easy, I'll take this responsibility... Isn't it just letting the large nose vent their anger? I'll go talk to the Russian! At most, I will just give up Xinjiang and cut half of it to the Russian. I don't believe that I can't make them calm down … "

Weng Tonghe immediately stood up after hearing that, "No way! Her Majesty is calm, please be calm! Right now, Zuo Jigao's army in the Northwest is very smooth going, and it will be very soon in Xinjiang. That is the territory of the Sacred Ancestors, the High Ancestors, we cannot lose it … "

Ci Xi curled his lips and sneered, "Sure! Since you have spoken, then I shall entrust all the matters concerning Beijing to you, and have Fu Qing as your deputy to negotiate with the foreigners in Shanghai. I believe the two of you will not disappoint the imperial court. "

"I've been waiting for this sentence, to be able to make Fu Qing, the political enemy, lose, and bring him along with him a few other Chinese Officer, this transaction is worth it!" "The empress dowager is wise!"

Seeing that her brother had expressed his stance, Yi Xuan had no choice but to stand up and say, "Chendi will also reconsider, Empress Dowager is wise!"

had no way to stop them, unluckily, Weng Tonghe and Weng Tonghe became two unlucky bastards who were about to negotiate.
