    "Hmm, Master, what's going on with Yu Tiezheng? Do you know who he is?" In the Yangxin Hall, a thin young man raised his head from the piled desk and shook it slightly.  With the note in his hand, he glanced at the old man kneeling respectfully below and said, "Master, sit up quickly and talk!"

    A little eunuch next to him quickly brought a cotton-wrapped dumpling and placed it next to the old man. The old man kowtowed and said loudly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the seat!" With that, he swayed with the support of the little eunuch.  Getting up from the ground, he only dared to sit on half of his butt carefully. His old face was rosy and shining, and he smiled and said, "I have made a special trip to find out more about the emperor. This Yu Tiezheng is from Changshu. He moved his family to the United States in his early years. He heard that "  The Treaty of Shimonoseki was signed to cede a corner of Taiwan in the southeast of China. With the heart of serving the motherland, he angrily crossed the ocean and came to Taiwan to join the rebel army to fight against Japan. In just a few months, he recruited 100,000 volunteers. After many bloody battles, he finally wiped out the Japanese pirates in Taiwan.  Qing Dynasty, restore our southeastern rivers and mountains"

    "A person from Changshu? Doesn't that mean we are from the same hometown as you, master?" The man, who was wearing a five-clawed dragon's bright yellow mandarin jacket and a black satin melon-skin hat, was decorated with a longan-sized bead.  Above his eyebrows, the eyes of the young man with yellow tassels on his pigtails couldn't help but light up. He looked at the old man expectantly and said, "This man has made extraordinary achievements in Taiwan, and he is also willing to serve me, the Qing Dynasty. This boxing  I am deeply moved by the desire to serve the country. If possible, would you like to help me ahem, help me clean up the Japanese invaders and revive the country?"

    The person who spoke was none other than Emperor Dezong Guangxu, the ruler of hundreds of millions of people and the current ruler of the nine states and all directions. Sitting opposite him was Weng Tonghe, the master of the current emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

    "Old minister, I have the same thought. If Yu Tiezheng can really help me in the Qing Dynasty to eliminate Japanese invaders, it will be a blessing to the Qing Dynasty and a blessing to the emperor!" Weng Tonghe raised his face and said with a smile, "Before the Qing Dynasty, I had Tongzhi Zhongxing. Today,  The revival of Guangxu is not far away!"

    "Master's words are very much in my heart, very much in my heart! But I don't know how" Guangxu's face flushed with excitement, but he tilted his head and thought for a moment, his expression suddenly became a little gloomy, and he didn't know what he said next.  How to go on.

    When Weng Tonghe saw Guangxu's dazed expression, his expression changed slightly. He looked around warily and shook his head slightly.

    When Guangxu saw this, he immediately came to his senses and waved slightly to signal the palace maids and eunuchs around him to retreat quickly. Seeing that everyone had retreated cleanly, he finally couldn't help but burst into tears, but he still didn't dare to cry out and sobbed in a low voice: "Although I  You are the lord of the Qing Dynasty, but you have no personal freedom in this huge palace. The Queen Mother has been in power for several years, but she is still worried about me. She has sent people to monitor even my food, clothing, and daily life. The eunuchs and maids in this palace  , I don¡¯t know which one to trust!¡±

    Weng Tonghe listened sadly, but did not dare to say anything. He just stared at Guangxu blankly.

    Guangxu sobbed for a long time before he stopped. His eyes suddenly showed a firm and burning light, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Rather than being a puppet emperor, it is better to give it a try!" He stared at Weng Tonghe, word by word.  He said, "Master, do you have any good ideas?"

    Weng Tonghe knew that the current emperor was frail and sentimental. He wanted to do something great, but he was restricted everywhere and could not realize his ambition. He also felt sad in his heart. He opened his lips, but did not say a word for a long time. This Guangxu  I was so anxious that I shouted at the top of my lungs: "Master!"

    "A king should cultivate his own confidants and influence, especially to seize military power, so that everyone can be convinced!" Weng Tonghe pondered for a long time, and then slowly said, "In the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War, our Huanhuan dynasty was unexpectedly defeated by a group of people nearby.  The small country has been defeated and it is urgent to reorganize the army and use military force to save the country from danger. Zhang Xiaoda, the governor of Liangjiang, asked to follow the example of Western France in training his troops beforehand. This is a very good strategy. The emperor can take advantage of this golden opportunity to establish a new army and control the military power!"

    "Yes, yes, that's what I mean! Butbut it's easier said than done! The establishment of the new army is no small matter. Who can be trusted and who cannot be trusted in the commander-in-chief? It is a matter of great importance and cannot be ignored?"  Guangxu nodded slightly, looked at the old man without blinking, and asked, "Master, does he have anyone in mind?"

    Weng Tonghe smiled slightly and said: "It is best for the commander-in-chief to be a newcomer, so that all parties can accept it, especially someone who has nothing to say to the Queen Mother!"

    Guangxu's eyes lit up and he said, "Is the master talking about the rising star Yuan Weiting?"

    Weng Tonghe was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "The emperor also knows this person?"

    Guangxu smiled bitterly and said: "How do you not know? When he was in charge of the foreign vassals of Korea, he was very courageous and able to understand the general situation, and he was able to make a difference. Some people say that 'one person is against one country'. Although it is an exaggeration, we can still see this.  His talent is of no small importance, and the 'strategy for reorganizing the army' he discusses is also quite novel and original. Many people in the court have recommended him to me!"

    Weng Tonghe was silent for a long time, and then said: "This person is not honest in his development."He is not the candidate in my heart, there is someone else!  "

    Guangxu thought for a while, then said with a smile: "I understand, the candidate in master's mind should be Yu Tiezheng?"

    Weng Tonghe nodded lightly and said with a smile: "Exactly! The military books written by this man have also been circulated in the capital. The old ministers have seen that they have the essence of Western France. Now he can lead a brave army to behead 40,000 Japanese pirates in a corner of Taiwan, which is shocking.  Dong Ying is actually a man who knows the military and is a good general, and he is determined to serve the imperial court. If the emperor can win over this person's heart, he will definitely be able to break the current internal and external difficulties!"

    Regarding Yuan Shikai mentioned by Guangxu, he naturally strongly opposed Kai because during his reign, Li Hongzhang recommended Yuan Shikai many times, which gave him a bad impression that Yuan was a disciple of Li's family, and his relationship with Li was a deep hatred.  .

    You must know that in his early years, Li Hongzhang had participated in the book of his brother Weng Tong and ordered him to be sent to Xinjiang. As a result, Weng's father died of illness, thus forming a feud. In addition, he was a Qingliu and Li was a powerful official. The Qingliu faction could not tolerate powerful officials in the court.  Turning one's hands can cause clouds and rain, not to mention that he is still an imperialist party, while Li belongs to the rear party. The two sides are at war with each other, and they are incompatible with each other. This means that he will definitely reject anyone who is a member of Li's family, and he will definitely criticize any strategy of Li's.  , he will definitely oppose Li¡¯s influence!

    When Guangxu saw him mentioning Yu Tiezheng's name again, he still hesitated and said: "This matter is of great importance. The commander of the new army is not a trivial matter. Let's let it go first! Even if I have the intention, the queen the queen mother will not do anything."  Everything is possible"

    Weng Tonghe couldn't help but became anxious after hearing this, and said: "Your Majesty, this matter should be done sooner rather than later. That Yu Tiezheng has sent his cronies to visit the old minister. He intends to get close to the old minister and act like a dragon! The old minister thought of Chidan's loyalty and kept him here.  With the government, keep the news strictly! Your Majesty, this is a God-given opportunity. We must work harder, sooner rather than later! As long as the Emperor is a little kinder, we will definitely become the pillar of the Qing Dynasty in the future! As for the Queen Mother, Your Majesty  As long as we have an undisputed mind, the Empress Dowager will be able to conceal the truth if she doesn¡¯t know the truth. If an old minister can join forces with the Minister of War, Mr. Rong, to jointly sponsor this matter, the matter will definitely be passed successfully!"

    "Hmm, okay, okay, I'll leave this matter to the master! If he really repays me ahem, repays my Qing Dynasty, I will definitely use him!" Guangxu's emotions were also infected by the other party and became a little excited.  , nodded repeatedly, but when his eyes fell on another urgent memorial spread out on the desk, he frowned, depressed, and said nothing.

    Weng Tonghe blinked, carefully glanced at the memorial on the desk, and couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

    Guangxu said with a sad face: "Master, do you know that something big has happened in Liaodong now?"

    Weng Tonghe was surprised and said: "Your Majesty, what big event happened in Liaodong?"

    "I have just received an urgent battle report from Liaodong. Lushun and Jinzhou were attacked by Japanese pirates at sea again. At the same time, another group of Japanese pirates landed in Nanpu, North Korea and moved north. They crossed the Yalu River and launched a fierce attack on our Jiulian City. The situation is extremely urgent!" Guangxu said in a voice.  They all trembled a little and said, "I have promised to compensate the Japanese crowns for 200 million taels of silver, plus 30 million taels of redemption fees. Why are the Japanese pirates still unwilling to give up? What do they want to do?"

    "After the Three Kingdoms returned to the Liao Dynasty, the Japanese pirates have always been grudges and are not convinced. Now that they have failed to seize Taiwan, they will naturally seek to seize the land of our Qing Dynasty - Liaodong. After we have established a foothold in the future, we will go south to seize the hinterland of our empire. Their hearts  It is self-evident that the poison is so obvious! Your Majesty, we must not make peace this time. We should take the lead in fighting. The whole country is united, shares the same hatred for the enemy, and jointly resists the enemy invaders!"

    "How to resist the enemy? How to repel the invaders?" Guangxu nodded, but soon shook his head and said, "The Northeast is where our ancestors made their fortunes and prospered. If it is lost in my hands, how will I face my ancestors in the future?  Liezong?"

    Weng Tonghe gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "I have internal and external methods, but I don't know the emperor"

    After hearing this, Guangxu couldn't help but said anxiously: "Speak quickly, speak quickly!"

    Weng Tonghe pondered for a long time and then said: "Let's talk about foreign laws first. Among the three countries that returned to Liao, Russia was the most active. However, it coveted our unfrozen port of Lushun and plotted against our ancestral homeland in the northeast. This time the Japanese pirates attacked us in Lushun.  Russia will definitely not give up, and will definitely come uninvited when it comes to interfering. The emperor only needs to ignore it, strictly maintain neutrality, and let the snipe and the clam fight, both sides will suffer, and we, the Qing Dynasty, will enjoy the benefits!"

    After hearing this, Guangxu's face couldn't help but darken, and he said angrily: "How can people kill people at will in the land of our ancestors? If I don't care and let it happen, how can I face my ancestors in the future? The world will also laugh at me for being stupid and incompetent.  This policy is inappropriate!¡±

    Sweat dripped down from Weng Tonghe's forehead. With a plop, half of his butt slipped off the cotton mound. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly. He said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, forgive me. This old minister's strategy is not unique. There are also internal ones."  Law!"

    Guangxu's expression softened slightly and he said, "Master, please sit down. What about this internal method?"

    Weng Tonghe wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.? Sitting back on Mian Dun again, he said: "In my humble opinion, this is the internal method. It is said in the world that the Red Label Army led by Yu Tiezheng is extremely brave and invincible. The emperor can take advantage of this opportunity to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, waiting for both Japan and Russia to lose."  After that, we can lead the Red Label Army to wipe out! If we win, it will greatly increase the prestige of our Qing Dynasty, making the great powers not to take it lightly; if we lose, it will not harm our Qing Jingwu master at all, and it can also extend to Yu Tiezheng.  , has nothing to do with our Qing Dynasty!" He paused, raised his eyes and glanced at Guangxu, lowered his eyebrows and whispered, "In this extraordinary autumn, we can only do this extraordinary method!"

    Guangxu lowered his head and was silent for a long time, twisting the Buddha beads. After a while, he suddenly raised his head and stared at Weng Tonghe. After a long time, he waved his hand and said feebly: "Then just do everything as the master said.  !¡±

    Weng Tonghe hurriedly stood up, respectfully folded his horse-hoove sleeves and saluted, saying: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" and then slowly stepped back.

    Guangxu stared blankly at the mountain of memorials handed over by the admonishers on the table. He suddenly pushed all these memorials to the ground, then laughed and cried, and shouted to the empty hall: "Guangxu Zhongxing,  Guangxu Zhongxing?"
