Many people nodded, but some people flattered Zhang Wu absentmindedly, and then stopped talking, but they muttered to themselves in their hearts, "This queen mother, is this really the case?" ”

The scholar only sneered slightly, but he couldn't say anything more, and changed the topic: "The Russians in Xinjiang are still making trouble, but we are soft-boned and don't do anything, we will only ask the Prime Minister Yamen to protest and protest again, if the protest is useful, the Russians will be dead a long time ago." The scholar dropped the poor money and walked out disdainfully, Zhang Wuzheng wanted to fight back, but was stopped by the person on the side, "Fifth master, you are a big-bellied person, why bother to meet these young people, they are still tender." ”

"That's right." Zhang Wu didn't speak immediately, just like this, everyone thought that the Russians were still occupying the Kokand country, and they came to the Ili River from time to time to make trouble, although there were not many deaths, but they had been breaking ground on Tai Sui's head, but this Tai Sui seemed to be asleep, and there was no reaction at all, Zuo Zongtang claimed to be a violent temper, and now he doesn't know what's wrong, he suddenly became an honest mother, and there was no movement. The Russians are arrogant and tight, not only the officials of the embassy, but also the chefs in the embassy, they are also arrogant, thinking of this, everyone has no interest in talking, for a while the teahouse is quiet, the shopkeeper has to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, he let out a long breath, lowered his head and began to settle the accounts again, the guy ran in and out hard, to greet the guests, suddenly, there seemed to be a noise outside, many people were shouting something, Zhang Wu's heart was bored, and he paused for a cup of tea, "What are the people outside? Oh my God! "Call the man," you go out and see! ”

The guy looked at the shopkeeper's face, responded happily, and ran out quickly, and after a while, he ran in, "There is news from Xinjiang that several Mongolian tribes have been killed by the Russians!" Lord Shangshu of the Imperial Court has already entered the palace! ”……

"What tribe?"

"Several tribes of the Turghut tribe," Qinghai replied, the nine ministers of the military aircraft department stood neatly in front of the Yangxin Palace, Qinghai replied to Prince Gong on the side, "I didn't go near the Ili River before, but I was grazing at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and this year is spring, and I took a fancy to the fertile pastures near the Ili River, so I went south, and the leader was the great elder who sat down under Tumudar Khan of the Turghut Department, and only one of the great elders remained, and fled back to the Turghut Ministry, and the Turghut Ministry returned from Gaozong to the west, and made contributions in the Ping'a Gubai Rebellion in Xinjiang, Tumudr Khan had just entered Beijing to meet the emperor in the old year, and the emperor was very important, and there were rewards one after another, and the king of the government was discussed, which could not be ignored. ”

Prince Gong's face was not angry, but he looked a little helpless, and he didn't know what his mood was, as if he had already known that there would inevitably be a conflict like this, "I know, this matter, presumably the emperor has an opinion, let's listen." ”

Qinghai looked at Prince Gong suspiciously, and saw several ministers of military aircraft who seemed to be indifferent, Bao Jun frowned and patted his stomach, it stands to reason that the ministers of military aircraft are all here, and they should ask to see him. It's just that these people are still outside, it seems to be waiting for someone, after a while, Jiang Zhongyuan, the secretary of the military department, arrived, it turned out to be waiting for him, several people lined up, and entered the Yangxin Hall together, the emperor was already on the throne of Xinuan Pavilion, his face showed a mixture of sorrow and excitement, it seemed very strange, "The Russians are rude," the emperor opened his mouth with this sentence, and set the tone, "Killing the people of the Qing Dynasty, I have been patient for the diplomatic relations between the two countries and the friendship between China and foreign countries, but I just sent the prime minister Yamen to state the reason, and I don't want to start a military affair without permission." In the old years, Zeng Jize met the tsar and told me, but the Russians were still not satisfied, and they took the country of Kokand, and they had to make an inch, coveting the land of Xinjiang, I really couldn't bear it, and the Russians must give an explanation! ”

Prince Gong and the others were silent, only Qinghai and Jiang Zhongyuan were surprised, what do they mean by this, can they use force? Seeing that the ministers of the military aircraft did not speak, the emperor frowned slightly, "What's the matter, are they all dumb?" What do you mean, if you don't say it, how do I know what is going on in your hearts? The emperor saw Jiang Zhongyuan, "Jiang Zhongyuan, you are the Great Sima, what kind of charter, you can talk about it." ”

Jiang Zhongyuan thought about his words, knelt on the ground and said slowly, "At the beginning of the twelfth year of Tongzhi, the German military instructors entered the lecture hall to teach outstanding officers, and now it is only more than a year, and the Chinese and foreign academic concepts in the camp are different, and there are a lot of discords, although there is no big problem, but it also damages morale. In addition, Xinjiang has been quite devastated since the Aguba rebellion, and the army has entered Xinjiang again, fearing that the logistics will not be effective. ”

"Well, these are two points," Emperor Tongzhi nodded, "But these two things are also simple, the army will not go to Xinjiang!" (To be continued.) )
