Chapter 138: The picture is exhausted and the wolf is seen

"Bang", Zuo Zongtang threw the teacup off the ground.

Since the Russian artillery positions were attacked, more than a thousand Russian riflemen and artillery were killed, and everything went wrong in the battle of Jiangjiawan.

The day before yesterday, the people who went to Huaitang to attack the supply station in the South Country were caught in the ambush, left hundreds of corpses and fled back in a panic.

Yesterday morning, Pingyuan Army from Yancheng came to aid and happened to meet the Chuzhou militia. More than a thousand civilians were packed with dumplings. Most of them surrendered after hearing this.

Last night, Ding Youxi relied on the right wing to gain strong support and suddenly led three infantry battalions to attack Xuzhuang. He actually broke through the Wuyi army's defense line in succession, forcing Zuo Zongtang's camp to retreat into Baoying City. If he left later, he would be a prisoner of Pingyuan's army.

Ding Youxi was really fierce. He saw it in the Qianli Mile Mile Mile. He was naked and charged in front of the formation with a machete in his hand. His body was covered in blood, like a god of killing. Wherever the D-shaped flag went, the officers, soldiers and civilians were invincible.

Just now, I heard that Funing County Magistrate and local gentry led the militia to surrender to the enemy.

The morale of the army, Zuo Zongtang felt a little chill. Pingyuan Army and Yancheng reinforcements had about tens of thousands of people. In fact, Pingyuan Army suffered a lot of losses in a few days of war, but it was able to organize effective attacks and win local victory in the fight against the morale of the northern country.

Hanjiawan is now like a useless person, and it is impossible to retreat. If you want to eat Nanni in one breath, it is even more unattainable.

Looking at the map silently, Zuo Zongtang fell into deep thought.

In the tent, no one dared to say anything. Irichi was more like a defeated rooster. Although he was not convinced from the bottom of his heart and was only attacked by the Chinese. If he had enough infantry, he would definitely use a big victory to clean up the shame, but now, he can only put away his arrogance and wait for the instructions from Beijing and Rostock.

...

In the East Side Hall of the Political Affairs Hall, Ye Zhaozheng and Li Xiaocun were having tea. In fact, although there were coffee table sofa chairs in the East Side Hall, the main seat was obviously higher than the sofa chairs on both sides. Sitting on the sofa chair to watch the Regent, it was naturally a feeling of looking up.

"Your suggestion is not feasible." Ye Zhao waved his hand.

Li Xiaocun just proposed that when the girls who were ruined by Tsarist Russian devils arrived in Jinling, they would take photos of them and publish articles in newspapers everywhere, condemning the Northern Dynasties and Tsarist Russia, and gain sympathy and support from British and French forces. At the same time, they made the people of the north and the south recognize the essence of the northern country's recognition of the thief as their fathers.

The Regent rejected it, and Li Xiaocun was stunned for a moment, but nodded slightly and could not ask for it.

Ye Zhao said: "This matter can be discussed in the newspaper, but everything is free of taking photos. When they come to the south, they will arrange it for them to live a stable life under their identities. However, the compensation must be compensated by Russia. I will write it down first and then settle the accounts with it."

Li Xiaocun said cautiously: "I'm afraid that it's not very credible just to write articles."

Ye Zhao said: "It doesn't matter. What does it matter if Europeans believe it or not? It is your responsibility to not protect their people, and it has nothing to do with Europeans. In this world, interests are the main ones, and Europeans just want to make some benefits from our hands. The Russians are beasts, and the whole of Europe knows it, but what's wrong?"

Li Xiaocun nodded silently.

Ye Zhao said coldly: "Yi Xin is getting worse and worse. Even if he is kept in the dark, he will be blamed. He went back to help me write a letter and asked him if he wanted to sell his ancestors. The letter told him that if he continued to do this, he would wait for his ashes to be crushed and ashes. I would personally bury his ashes for Moscow, and he would be worthy of burying him there!"

He said again: "Zuo Zongtang, I used to look down on him." He threw the green tea cup on the table, and the bowl cover sounded randomly.

I sighed, but in fact I couldn't blame Zuo Zongtang for this matter, but I felt so frustrated.

Li Xiaocun dared not speak, and it was rare for the Regent to lose his temper.

After a while, Ye Zhao's tone gradually calmed down and he said, "Ruoxuan, everyone is born equal, and everyone is born unequal. Tell me, what kind of world will the world we conquer in the future?"

In fact, a group of literati such as Li Jianchen, Zheng Zhen and Li Xiaocun have begun to write books and organize various articles of the Regent to systematicize them. Now, the ones that have been printed and published include several works such as "On the State" and "People's Livelihood Economy" that explain the development trends of the country and the country, and guidance on the development trends of industry and commerce.

If Ye Zhao wanted to change the dynasty, Li Xiaocun was the first vanguard, and had already begun to prepare for the regent to lay the ideological foundation for the world to be justified in the future and gain the title of righteousness.

At first, Zheng Zhen proposed to replace the Qing Dynasty with the Five Virtues. After discussing with Li Jianchen, he felt that it was inappropriate. Obviously, the gap between him and the Regent was quite different. However, Li Xiaocun and others did not know the true thoughts in the Regent's heart. The Regent had a bright mind, which was far beyond the eyes of the public. After following the Regent for a long time, everyone benefited a lot, but should the Regent change the dynasty? No one knew this, and no one dared to ask. Those who were particularly close in private would occasionally talk in a concealed manner, and no one would make it clear.

Li Xiaocun is not Haric, Han Jinchun, or Zhao Sanbao. If these military generals with heavy troops are in power, they will have their own way to force the Regent to occupy the world. As a civil servant, he can only look for opportunities to act.

At this moment, when suddenly, when the Regent suddenly heard the political affairs of the world, Li Xiaocun was shocked and did not interrupt himself, but just listened silently.

Ye Zhao continued: "Although everyone is born unequal, I hope that China will have a fairer competitive environment in the future, a fair political system and economic system, and every citizen can receive the respect they deserve in this system. It is like these poor women who should protect their privacy and not expose their bloody wounds to serve the national system at all times. This is to respect them."

Li Xiaocun nodded silently, chewing on the regent's words.

At this time, the guards hurriedly came forward and sent a telegram. Now, there are wars everywhere in central Jiangsu, southern Anhui, and north of Jing.

The telegram was sent from Guizhou. In the telegram, Zhao Sanbao said that the number of people from all over the world plus the newly recruited soldiers was dispatched. The planned Western Conscription Corps has been recruited for 20,000 people. Now it is undergoing simple training and preparing to cross the Jinsha River from Yunnan and attack Ningyuan *** River.

Ye Zhao thought for a while and asked Li Xiaocun, "Is it easy to use the banknotes after receiving the banknotes?" This month, all the salaries of various government offices in the Southern Dynasty, including Li Xiaocun and other ministers of the State Council, received all the banknotes.

Li Xiaocun said: "I heard from the people below that I often go to restaurants and teahouses but don't refuse to accept banknotes. It's just small stalls, and they often recognize copper coins but not banknotes."

Ye Zhao nodded, saying that he had a good head, but now a small part of the banknotes have just been scattered, and he can only hear feedback from big cities. When all the 100 million banknotes are scattered, he is afraid that it will not be so smooth.

However, even if all 10 million silver dollars are exchanged, they can be paid for the Southern Dynasty. There will be no major storm. In fact, now that the banknotes are bankrupt, they are afraid that after the issuance volume is large, there will be a exchange frenzy due to rumors and other factors. That is the real danger at that time, so the issuance volume of this banknote must be controlled and the efficiency of wealth creation must be kept up.

"Where Yuan Jiasan is still sick?" Ye Zhao asked lightly.

"Yes." Li Xiaocun's expression was solemn. Since Yuan Jiasan heard the news that the Regent asked him to resign, he immediately fell ill. It seemed that he would never be willing to retreat like this.

"If you are sick, you must take care of yourself." Ye Zhao picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.

Li Xiaocun said: "Yes, I will go to explore Lord Yuan's condition in the afternoon."

After looking at the bell, Ye Zhao said, "You go down, I'll go to Shanghai to meet the Queen Mother of the Holy Mother."

Go to Shanghai? Li Xiaocun was stunned. After all, it cannot be said that under the control of the Southern Kingdom, the prince insisted on revoking Yuan Jiasan, and his relationship with the two palaces fell to freezing point. The palace battle was really bloody. No matter how high the regent's prestige was, he should not be careless. No matter how bad the regent is, he should not be careless. No matter how bad the matter is going to Shanghai.

But he couldn't interrupt this matter, so he could only bow and take a break.

Almost the day when Ye Zhao expressed his intention to leave Yuan Jiasan, Concubine Lan sent a telegram saying that she was coming to Jinling to see Rong'er. However, when his ship arrived in Shanghai, Concubine Lan sent another telegram. It turned out that explosives were found on the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway yesterday. It was thought that it was the intention of the northerners to destroy them. In addition, Concubine Lan suffered a bit of guilt on board the steamer this time and did not want to get into the river again. Concubine Lan was even more worried about her safety and advised her to stay in Shanghai for two days and wait for the situation to stabilize before coming to Jinling.

With a lot of excuses, Ye Zhao was waiting for her to come no matter what he was thinking.

Before leaving for Shanghai, Ye Zhao received another telegram from Suzhong. Because Zheng Zewu suddenly attacked southern Anhui, Miao Peilin's troops retreated quickly and completely exposed Peng Yulin's left wing to Pingyuan's army. Now the matchmaker has trapped Peng Yulin's troops in the Taizhou area.

Ye Zhao smiled after reading the telegram. Miao Peilin was always short-sighted and seemed to be unable to change it in this life.

...

When Lan Guiren lived in the Hendry Hotel on Haige Road, Shanghai, he naturally booked the entire hotel. The Hendry Hotel is located in the public concession. Ye Zhao didn’t know whether Lan Guiren’s entourage really didn’t understand or deliberately made a different plan. How could he live in the concession?

Ye Zhao came to Shanghai by boat and it was already the fifth day of the day. He had a short rest. As soon as the sky was clear, Ye Zhao drove straight to the Hendry Hotel.

The three-story building of Hendry Hotel is magnificent from the outside, like a small red palace.

Guiren Lan had just gotten up and was about to have breakfast when Ye Zhao was here.

Although Ye Zhao brought many guards to Shanghai, he saw Guiren Lan, but when he saw him, he only followed a dozen personal guards. Compared with the heavily guarded guards in the hotel, he was really overwhelmed by others.

I met Ye Zhao in the living room outside the luxurious suite, Xiao Anzi and two palace maids served him. The room was fragrant and pleasant, and I thought I had already smelled it.

"Sister-in-law, I didn't expect that you would be used to living in this foreign house now." Sitting opposite Guiren Lan across the coffee table, Ye Zhao smiled slightly. To be honest, Guiren Lan sat gracefully on the sofa. The small flag shoes and gorgeous cheongsam were really unique, especially for Ye Zhao, who felt it new. After all, the woman opposite ruled more than half of China, and was known for her stubbornness, and was one of the most powerful women in history.

"Have you eaten?" Lan Guiren asked lightly, with a pretty white face, and she could not tell her joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

"Yes." As soon as Ye Zhao finished speaking, silver bowls and silver chopsticks were placed in front of him.

Looking at An Dehai, Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Xiao Anzi, you are a powerful person."

Xiao Anzi's face turned pale, and he didn't dare to respond, so he bowed and retreated aside.

Concubine Lan looked at Ye Zhao a few times and said, "As a slave, is there any good or bad thing? If he offended you, I will hold his mouth."

Ye Zhao smiled and said nothing. He knew that listening to his own words, it seemed like he was coming to a showdown. Naturally, Guiren Lan couldn't see through what he was going to do.

After drinking a sip of fish porridge, it was light and slightly delicious, and the taste was excellent. Ye Zhao said: "This is the first time I have breakfast with my elder sister-in-law."

Guiren Lan said, "When will you be free, it's time for you to have your own leisure."

Ye Zhao nodded and said, "What the emperor's sister-in-law said is that my brother wants to be free, but the affairs of the court are really hard to worry about. Now in the Northern Expedition, life and death are alive. However, Yuan Jiasan is keen on party struggles and frames his colleagues. Although my brother is heartbroken, he knows that he is the emperor's sister-in-law, but he can only kill Ma Su with tears."

Concubine Lan stared at Ye Zhao with pretty eyes and asked, "You can't say it clearly in the telegram. Who are Yuan Jiasan fighting with, and how do you fight for the law? Who did he harm in framed his colleagues? Is there a basis?"

Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Is this awesome thing about my brother?"

Guiren Lan glanced at him and slowly used the spoon to scoop the porridge.

The two of them stopped talking. After breakfast, the palace maid removed the bowls and chopsticks, served fragrant tea and stepped out.

Ye Zhao picked up the teacup several times, put it down again, and Lan Guiren slowly savored the tea and said, "How are Rong'er so good recently? I haven't seen her for a long time, but I really miss her. Do you still love making trouble?"

Ye Zhao slowly put down the teacup in his hand and sighed: "Sister-in-law, it turns out that family affection is just a cloud in your eyes."

Concubine Lan said calmly: "How can I explain this?"

Ye Zhao vented his breath and said, "When the emperor saw that I had not moved the tea cup for a long time, Rong'er ordered me to prepare for me, and I just wanted me to drink this cup of tea."

Concubine Lan said, "I don't understand this anymore."

Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Does the emperor's wife think there are really soft tendons in the world?"

Although Ye Zhao's laughter was light, it sounded like a bolt from the blue when he heard it. The small white jade tea bowl in his hand shook and some tea splashed out.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiao Anzi hurriedly clapped his hands and slapped them hard for a few times. There was no one outside. He immediately rushed towards Ye Zhao, but Ye Zhao kicked him in the chest, stepped back and sat down to the ground.

Ye Zhao frowned and said, "I really don't want to see blood in front of my sister-in-law." He shouted, "Come!"

The door was pushed open, and two female guards came in and dragged Xiao Anzi out.

Ye Zhao said lightly: "Sister-in-law, this guy has sowed the disagreement, making you and my uncle and sister-in-law disinterested, and intends to harm me, so he can't keep it."

Guiren Lan finally had a pretty face and said, "Don't hurt him, everything is easy to discuss."

While speaking, he heard the voice of the guards outside: "Master, An Dehai has been rectified."

Guiren Lan was stunned, her body shook and leaned softly on the sofa.

Ye Zhao slowly tasted tea, and the picture was revealed, where should he go?

If the Office of the Interior cannot fully control the intelligence of the North, but the two palaces are the first-class surveillance targets. If Andhai is in a relationship with the British Henterry, how could Ye Zhao not know?

After the failure to buy Andehai, the real insider of the Ministry of Internal Affairs had already changed, and Ruisi later threatened Andehai all day long, but it was just a smoke bomb.
