Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Chinese fleet defeated the Japanese combined fleet off the coast of Busan. According to reliable information, a giant of more than 20,000 tons appeared in the Chinese fleet. Its armor thickness and firepower are definitely the first in the world.

    This news was like a hurricane, blowing from Asia to all countries in the world. The powers of various countries were silent for a while, and then asked the Japanese or the Chinese like crazy.

    After the U.S. government received the exact news, on the one hand, it immediately contacted its Atlantic Fleet, which was already sailing in the Pacific, and ordered it to return home quickly. On the other hand, it sent a message to Wei Jichen through the British government, expressing its willingness to negotiate with China.

    Don¡¯t forget that the Americans have captured a large number of soldiers by China. Since they don¡¯t have the guts to go to war with China, they can only negotiate to get these prisoners back and resolve other matters.

    After the German government learned about this, they cried and said that China was not a good friend and was the most die-hard ally. It even had the most advanced warships. How could it be called the most die-hard ally?

    Wei Jichen could only be speechless. When did China and Germany become the most die-hard allies?

    In China, people from all over the country are of course a celebration. The dragon lanterns danced, the firecrackers rang, and the red lanterns were hung high. People from all over the country seemed to have lived another New Year.

    The whole page of the newspaper that day was about the Sino-Japanese naval battle. Of course, the names of Seymour and others who really made great contributions were not reported due to various reasons.

    The victory of the Sino-Japanese naval battle directly set off a new wave of patriotic enthusiasm among the people. War bonds have been sold to two or three times their original price. Every time the government sells them, they are sold out on the same day.

    Wei Jichen telegraphed back to Liu Buchan that night. In addition to praising him, he also asked the naval officers and soldiers not to be proud and to forget the previous victories and continue to win new ones.

    As soon as Liu Buchan avenged the Sino-Japanese War, he felt much more relaxed. The next step was to give up the protagonist to the Army and cooperate with the Army's attack.

    ¡°However, the opposite of the joyful atmosphere in various places is the official atmosphere in Liangjiang. Officials in Liangjiang feel that dark clouds are coming over them, and they don¡¯t know when a thunderbolt will flash down.

    Late at night, in an ordinary mansion in the east of Jinling City, an unusual conspiracy was going on.

    "If Wei Jichen, a kid, doesn't give us a way to live, we won't let him have a good life either."

    "Yes, this yellow-haired boy is cruel and ruthless. He became emperor only by killing people indiscriminately and excluding dissidents. Anyone who had an issue with him has been killed by him."

    "We are at odds with him!"

    ¡­

    In China, there are too many people who admire Wei Jichen. Of course, there are also many people who wish for him to die early for various reasons. If Wei Jichen stayed in the Forbidden City, these people would naturally not have a chance.

    However, now that he is in Aurous Hill, these people will naturally not miss this opportunity.

    ¡°Moreover, it was not the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty that Zhao Bingjun and Eagle Eye had been paying attention to, but the officials in the secret room who took action first.

    They have no one else, and they have countless money and real estate. Wei Jichen wants to punish them, just like cutting flesh from their hearts, so these people secretly work together to prepare for a counterattack.

    "Do you know? There are several officials in the capital who just embezzled a mere million taels of silver and were beheaded by Wei Jichen, a cruel and ruthless boy. Now that this boy comes to Jiangnan, we and I may not be able to escape death."  The leader's eyes were shining, and he was intimidating the surrounding officials.

    When the other officials heard what he said, their hearts tightened, and then they looked at each other, one million taels, no one among the dozen or so people present could escape.

    "Yes, you don't know. It is said that the Governor asked this boy to intercede for us. Do you know what the boy's answer was? The boy said: 'The country is the house, and the people are its cornerstone. We are just pillars.  , the pillar is broken, just replace it. 'In his eyes, we are worse than ordinary people. This murderous tyrant is deliberately trying to force us to rebel." Another official also strongly agreed.

    "Not killing this officer is not enough to eliminate the anger in our hearts." All the officials nodded solemnly.

    "However, this officer has many guards on weekdays, and ordinary people cannot rely on him. Moreover, he is good at martial arts. How to assassinate him? This matter is related to our lives" An official with a deer-headed and rat-eyed official said cautiously. He wanted to kill him.  One thing, whether it can be killed is another matter.

    "This is exactly the purpose why I called you here. Although this officer usually has a lot of defenses, he has a shortcoming." After saying this, the leading official paused for a moment. When everyone looked at him curiously,  He then continued with a satisfied look on his face: "This officer likes to be in the limelight. He likes to pretend to be benevolent and righteous in front of ordinary people.??As if rescuing Guanyin Bodhisattva, in three days' time, this official will meet with representatives of all walks of life in the Governor's Mansion and listen to their opinions. At that time, as long as we place one of our people among these representatives, boom  With one gunshot, the world will change.  "

    Hiss, all the officials gasped!

    This idea is indeed good. If ordinary people want to plant assassins, it will be extremely difficult. But don¡¯t forget the identities of the dozen or so people sitting here. They are all powerful officials in Liangjiang. If they don¡¯t have the power, they will not  With such power, how could an ordinary official embezzle one million taels of silver in just half a year?

    "That's right, he embezzled one million taels of silver in half a year. Wei Jichen had already made it clear that he had embezzled money in the previous dynasty and let the past go.

    "Everyone, I believe that as long as we plan carefully, it will be easy to kill Wei Jichen. As soon as Wei Jichen dies, we will support the governor to ascend the throne. You must know that Wei Jichen has no children. Once he dies, no one will inherit the throne. His subordinates,  They will probably fight for power, but they can still control us."

    "What you say makes sense, but is the Governor willing to take the throne?"

    "As long as we wear yellow robes, the Governor-General can't refuse even if he wants to."

    "Haha, that's true!"

    ¡­

    In Jinling City, there is an undercurrent surging, and it seems that even God has felt it, and it has dropped the last snow of late spring.

    Liu Kun, the governor of Liangjiang, sat in his room and read at night. Wei Jichen asked officials from various places to do more practical work and read more books on foreign history and broaden their horizons. Liu Kunyi responded to the call and found some translators who said,  When you have time, read the previous one.

    Bang bang bang¡­

    Outside the door, there was a rapid knock on the door.

    Liu Kun frowned and raised his head. It was so late. Who else would come to visit? He put down the book, stretched his waist, then walked forward slowly, opened the door and took a look, but found no one.

    Liu Kun looked around and almost thought he was hearing hallucinations due to his old age. However, when he looked down, he found a letter on the threshold, indicating that someone had just been here.

    "Who sent the letter so secretly at such a late hour? What's the shameful thing?" Liu Kun picked up the letter, closed the door, and quickly returned to the room and sat down on the chair.

    Liu Kun immediately took out the letter and looked at the kerosene lamp. After just a brief glance, his expression began to change. The more he saw behind it, the more frightened he became.

    The thin letter suddenly became heavier and heavier, and his hands holding the letter began to tremble slightly, which showed Liu Kunyi's inner shock.

    After reading it in one breath, Liu Kunyi fell into deep thought.

    ¡­

    The next day, Wei Jichen got up early. The officials of the Governor's Mansion naturally did not dare to get up later than him, so they came to work early. Liu Kunyi brought several important officials to see Wei Jichen.

    "Mr. Liu, I have nothing to do today, why don't you accompany me to see about food and wages." As soon as Wei Jichen saw Liu Kunyi, he waved his hand and said with a smile.

    "Well, I have something to ask" As soon as Liu Kun finished speaking, Wei Jichen waved his hand impatiently and said, "We'll talk about it when we get back, otherwise I will think Master Liu is stalling for time."

    "I'm at your Majesty's disposal, old minister!" Liu Kunyi's old face turned red. Wei Jichen said this, clearly thinking that he had a problem with food and wages, so he was delaying time for his men to solve it.

    The food and wages here are the food and wages that the military department asked Liu Kun to raise to support the front line. The governor-general of Liangjiang is responsible for the three provinces of Jiangsu, Anhui, and Jiangxi. These provinces are all major grain-producing provinces. If you just get a little from them, you can get rich.  It's an enemy country.

    "Let's go!" Wei Jichen took the lead without taking it seriously, and officials such as Liu Kun had to follow behind.

    Not far from the Governor¡¯s Mansion, there are several large granaries built with grain and grass piled inside. The warehouses are heavily guarded, and there are also account books and other detailed lists recording every grain entry and exit.

    Liu Zhenming first opened the account book, while Liu Kunyi and others stood aside respectfully and allowed Wei Jichen to look at it.

    One of the bosses looked at Wei Jichen's serious look and didn't know if Wei Jichen was just showing off or if he really understood the ledgers. He felt very uneasy and shrank back slightly.

    Of course, Wei Jichen was not pretending. Although the account books were a bit messy, he took out a pen and paper, drew a table, and filled in various data, and the accounts were very clear.

    After coughing heavily, Wei Jichen said coldly: "Master Liu, come here!"

    ? ???Your Majesty, are there any errors in the accounts?  Liu Kun took a step forward and asked cautiously.

    "If nothing happens, why did I call you here? Not only is there an error in the accounts, but it is also a big error. There is at least one hundred thousand shi of food missing. I would like to ask you, the governor of Liangjiang, where did all this food go?" Wei Jichen stopped.  He suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at Liu Kunyi with sneers.

    "Your Majesty, I will ask someone to investigate thoroughly!" Liu Kunyi broke out in a cold sweat. He had never felt such pressure before. Even in front of Cixi, Liu Kunyi could handle it with ease, but in front of Wei Jichen, he seemed to feel like he couldn't breathe.  .

    "Investigation?" Wei Jichen stood up, glanced at the Liangjiang officials one by one, and sneered: "Can I still trust the Liangjiang officials? Even if it is an investigation, it is not your turn to investigate, Liu Kunyi."

    "Your Majesty!" Liu Kun's feet gave way and he knelt down on the ground, crying sadly: "Your Majesty, please take a closer look. I don't know anything about this matter."

    "Whether you know or not, you will know after checking it!" Wei Jichen glanced at Liu Kunyi, then flicked his sleeves, turned and left, leaving only a bunch of Liangjiang officials who were so frightened that they fell to the ground.
