"Sigh This matter was also rushed. Let these people join forces with the people of the Lifan Yuan, and they have recently prepared to quarrel with the European envoys. As for the residence of the European envoys, it was placed outside the city. Before The military camp would be good, just build a few houses. " Having failed in terms of talents, Yang Meng was a little helpless. If it really doesn't work, he can only postpone his ambitions for Alaska for now. Maybe there will be another opportunity in the future. . "Third Master, isn't there any countermeasure to Yingji's plan?" "Yes! It depends on the progress in Guangzhou. Although a one-year deadline was previously set, the shipyard still failed to complete it as promised. I forced this matter Okay, let¡¯s just look at their recent progress. If they don¡¯t make it in three months, the American territory will have to be surrendered!¡± The one-year deadline for the Guangzhou Shipyard has already arrived, but the armored ship over there has only completed the hull and parts. The construction and installation of the steam engine was also a huge project, and it couldn't be done by forcing it. There was nothing Yang Meng could do about it. "Please urge me more! The territory of the two provinces cannot be lost!" "You ask Taichen to add more strength! If you can fool me, it's not impossible!" The iron-clad ship is now only used for deterrence. A real naval battle can only be fought in the near sea, but ocean warfare is a bit of a joke. He knows his own shortcomings. Sometimes he can eat a fat man with one bite, but most of the time, he still has to do it step by step. For example, the shipbuilding project that is now in front of Yang Meng Industry. Unlike the European missions, they can pay attention to things on the Russian side, but Yang Meng cannot. Domestic development is the key. Obtained most of the territory of Tsarist Russia. However, domestic development was ignored. This is a way of making a living at the expense of one's own merits. Regarding the envoys, YangMeng only pays more attention to them. The real focus is still at home. Time passed day by day, and the European envoys were getting closer and closer to the capital. A telegram from Tsarist Russia made Yang Meng turn his attention to the European envoys again. "Comptroller, what do you think of this telegram?" A light telegram. Being put in front of Xu Ziwei by Yang Meng, there were some things that others couldn't do. "Haha Third Master, this is the telegram sent by Li Xiucheng. The meaning of the telegram is roughly the same as yours. The person on the telegram is quite capable!" After just glancing at the contents of the telegram, Xu Ziwei smiled bitterly. I wonder what Qin Ziqi should think after seeing this. I'm afraid that Third Master will be serious again this time. "OhLi Xiucheng also thinks this person is useful? Chief, do you think this person is useful?" After listening to Xu Ziwei's words. Yang Meng also changed his tone. Originally, he came here to question the crime. But Li Xiucheng also mentioned this person, and the matter of questioning should be postponed for a while. "This man? His ability to work in the camp is first-rate, and his knowledge is not bad, but his temperament is unusable! If we talk about this man, he should have had some good luck, but it is a pity that he met Zuo Jigao in Anhui and Cen Yuying in Shanghai. , met Shen Guifen in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. In general, it was Third Master who ruined this person¡¯s future. The chief still remembered that Third Master said in Jiujiang that this person was capricious and could not be used for much purpose. "Shadow said in the telegram to Li Xiucheng. Xu Ziwei has also studied this person in the past two days. It doesn't matter if he doesn't look at it, he will be shocked. If it weren't for the third master, this person would probably be a very popular minister! "It's a pity that the Yang family's employees, especially those in the court, put loyalty first. Although this person has the shadow and Li Xiucheng's promotion, he may have taken the wrong path this time. "Now and then, when I was still young, I really didn't dare to make great use of this person, but now this person is stronger than Lin, Zuo, and Zeng. Lin Laohu opened his eyes to see the world, but died halfway. It¡¯s not a good comment. Although Zeng and Zuo are very capable, they still adhere to the ethics and have never truly broken the circle. Only Li Hongzhang has been changing. Although he has been suspected of betraying the army many times, he has been changing along the way. Anhui, Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, this person followed the old path of Shi Zengzuo. Due to my arrangement, he did not have the opportunity to rise to the top of the Anhui cloth. After becoming the political envoy, Li Hongzhang changed his mind and praised the recent decrees issued by the imperial court. This change was not for the imperial court. His purpose was to take credit from us! The recent campaign against Russia has slowed down domestic affairs. He This wink was thrown into the air, and the plan was to make a living. This person was considered a figure. He took a huge risk and abandoned his job to join the teacher Zeng Disheng again. He got the opportunity to contact the European and American envoys. He thought. I took a rough look over there and followed the envoys all the way. This person actually made a lot of preparations according to my plan. I have to use this hard work! ¡± In the telegram between Shadow and Li Xiucheng, the person mentioned was none other than Li Hongzhang, a student of Zeng Disheng and the former Chief Minister of Anhui. Although Yang Meng was suspected of being accused when he came, it was not Li Hongzhang who should be accused. There was someone else, but Li Xiucheng also proposed to use Li Hongzhang, and Yang Meng also lacked a diplomatic talent. What Li Hongzhang did along the way just suited Yang Meng's appetite. It seems that this person is still I have to use it! Yang Meng did not recognize many of the famous officials in the late Qing Dynasty. Lin Huhu, Zeng Disheng, and Zuo Jigao were recognized by Yang Meng, but these three people also had considerable limitations. Lin Huhu was not allowed to be reused, although the ideas he proposed were good. , but they died at the wrong time. In the final analysis, Zeng and Zuo were still representatives of scholars, and their limitations were more stubborn than those of Lin Laohu. Combining some information from later generations, coupled with Li Hongzhang's performance on the land route, it seems that he really has to leave the diplomacy matter. The so-called times make heroes, but that's it! "Third Master! I'm afraid this person's temperament cannot be put to good use. This time he followed the envoy all the way. Judging from Li Hongzhang's performance, I'm afraid Zeng Disheng also missed a lot of things. Otherwise, Li Hongzhang wouldn't be so clear-cut. Please the Third Master. Now that the conquest of Russia has come to an end, I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t be easy to kill him if he reuses Li Hongzhang!¡± Seeing that the Third Master Yang wanted to reuse Li Hongzhang, Xu Ziwei also changed his face. This diplomacy Although this matter is not the focus of the third master, the eyes at home and abroad are now focused on Tsarist Russia. If Li Hongzhang is used at this time, I am afraid that less than half of the achievements in the Russian conquest will be given to this man who is always in a hurry. Xu Ziwei is not afraid that Li Hongzhang will gain power. What he is afraid of is that Li Hongzhang will take this opportunity to fight against the third master, breaking his own third master's aura of being obedient. Once there are constraints on the third master's side, I am afraid that many major events in the Yang family will also happen. of twists and turns. "It's not easy to kill? I don't care about reputation when I kill people. Besides, this Li Hongzhang is not like Zeng Zuo. His reputation in the world today is not as good as the handle of a knife. If he, Li Hongzhang, knows faces, he can use them. If he doesn't know faces, the prime minister Just kill them all! We are planning to kill him recently! Judging from Li Hongzhang's plan, the undercurrent forces will not be able to get into his eyes. As long as he does not collude with the undercurrent, he will be the Tathagata. "The monkey in his hand." "Li Hongzhang's ability, if exaggerated, is the source of the Chinese Civil War. Beiyang originated from Li Hongzhang, and it was Beiyang that protected some remnants and remnants of the Qing Dynasty, but having said that, Beiyang also for a period of time This made the Manchus arrogant. Although they were defeated in the end, Li Hongzhang was still remarkable. Judging from his performance along the way, he is still within his ability to be the foreign minister of a country. But now Yang Meng lacks such a talent. The saying that there is a pillow when you are sleepy, isn't it Li Hongzhang? "Then we will do it according to the Third Master's wishes?" The Third Master is here to ask questions. Xu Ziwei tested it, and sure enough, the Third Master's face turned gloomy. "Slow down! Although Li Hongzhang wants to use it, there is something that needs to be done first. When will I need Shadow to give guidance on my employment? You will handle this matter?" Shadow provides intelligence for Yang Meng's administration, although sometimes , Yang Meng also used Shadow to discover some talents, but this time the telegram sent by Shadow from Tsarist Russia was suspected of involving personnel matters. No matter what the starting point of Shadow was, this telegram touched a taboo and involved The person responsible should be killed. Now it seems that it is necessary to dismember the shadow. No matter what Li Hongzhang's ability is, or why the shadow in Tsarist Russia was persuaded by Li Hongzhang, if an intelligence agency participates in the personnel selection of a country, it is definitely the beginning of disaster. Yang Meng also knew that Xu Ziwei didn't dare to deal with the shadow. He came here just to ask Xu Ziwei to send a telegram to Qin Ziqi. Yang Meng used Xu Ziwei's hand to send this telegram to Qin Ziqi, which was enough to show how dissatisfied he was. , letting Xu Ziwei take over, in addition to teasing, Yang Meng also wanted to test. People's hearts are not an eternal thing. Xu Ziwei has been in the contract room for a long time, and it is inevitable that he will have a bit of a bossy feeling. Yang Meng's last words are partly to wake up Xu Ziwei, but mostly to see how Qin Ziqi reacts to them. How things reacted. "Master, matters involving shadows, shadows, and blood shadows should be handled by Qin and Sun! The Chief of Staff does not dare to intervene in this matter!" Xu Ziwei's face changed when he heard that the third master asked him to deal with the shadow commander in Tsarist Russia. , it turned green immediately. This is really seeking death! He is not a clean person and has left too many first names behind. Although he is protected by the third master, Qin Ziqi and Sun Boqing are very clear about those dirty and bad things. This time they went over their shoulders and beat these two people. Face, I'm afraid these two queens will settle the accounts in the future! "snort¡¡Useless stuff, what a fright! Don¡¯t you have me supporting you? never mind! Forget it Just send a telegram to Ziqi to inform him. " Seeing Xu Ziwei's dishonorable face, Yang Meng pretended to be angry, but Xu Ziwei just kept sweating and shaking his head. It seemed that this person still had some self-awareness. After teasing and probing, Yang Meng also confessed, Xu Ziwei then I drafted a telegram as if I had received an amnesty, and sent it out in a hurry, fearing that if there was a slight delay, I would get such a bad job again (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
