24. Open the border and rejuvenate the army (5)
When the night was leaked, it was already known all over the city, and for a while, there were rumors, Weng Tongyi was calm, but he was sitting in his own house, and no one else was there, but he just made a post and invited Li Ciming to come over the house to see Wang Xianzhi's post. And Li Ciming was young and vigorous, found Weng Tonggong's mansion, and after seeing Weng Tonggong's salute, he opened his mouth to ask about today's affairs, "How is the scene in the Qinzheng Palace today?" β
"As the guest said," Weng Tong nodded with a smile, "First, declare war, and second, sure enough, the emperor is going to go out in person!" β
Li Ciming nodded slightly, with a smug expression on his face, "Don't say anything else, just look at Prince Gong's party and the emperor, it is different, as long as it is something that Prince Gong approves, if it is not in line with his own wishes, he will definitely oppose it today, not to mention, open the border and raise the army, any monarch is willing to give it a try, the emperor who is said to be eloquent and strategic, is to raise troops and rectify the military strategy, and now he has been in power for several years, he must follow the empress dowager, and take the victory of the army as a means to announce the world, so I have such a guess." Boss, is that going to be enlisted? I've heard some outside, but I don't know much about it, so I'm going to ask the old man to clear up. β
"But it's not a pro-expedition," Li Ciming was slightly stunned, "I just said that I want to visit Uriya Sutai, and I am about to go to Kulun," Weng Tongyi glanced at Li Ciming, and said warmly, "The words of the guest are not far away, although they are not in the middle." β
"Patrol?" Li Ciming muttered to himself, and asked, "Could it be that war has not been declared?" β
The weather in July, although the night is still as hot as ever, but there is also a night breeze, and the cool breeze can relieve the heat. "There is no declaration of war, except for Dong Yuanol and a few people, everyone else feels that declaring war with Russia is not conducive to national affairs, hehe. It's just that today Dong Yuanol has been out of the limelight, 'people's hearts are back'? Dong Yuanol made a long speech and refuted Shen Guifen and the household military department, and the hall also applauded. "He carefully told Li Ciming what happened in the Qinzheng Hall today," Shen Guifen said that if war was declared on Russia, all countries would be worried and it would not be conducive to foreign affairs, but the emperor still listened to it and did not declare war. β
"Declaring war is just a name." Li Ciming said, "Now and the declaration of war, in fact, it is just a national letter away." β
"Yes, but the name is not right, but the emperor said that he was going to inspect Uriya Sutai, and the big guys also knew," Weng Tonggong recalled today's scene. I only felt that the peaks were turning around, and I never knew that the emperor actually wanted to patrol the border.
"What the hell is that? Just patrolling? β
"Yes."
"It's just a faΓ§ade." Li Ciming shook his head, "The emperor's patrol is not trivial, as long as the emperor goes to Uriya Sutai, needless to say, the soldiers will naturally work hard." This is not far from the pro-sign. The emperor's visit to Uriya Sutai was actually a declaration of war with the Russians. β
"But in the end, there is no declaration of war, the emperor meant, anyway, it's almost autumn, and Mulan Enclosure is going to go." Weng Tong said, "I haven't been to Rehe today, and it's convenient to go to Kulun if you go farther." β
This is a complete lie, it is about the time to fool the Russians in the future, Li Ciming is silent, Rehe is in the northeast, and Kulun is in the west of the north, it is not a good way at all, "Boss and Li Xiang, what do you mean?" β
"This matter, I'm afraid it's the emperor's own idea," Weng Tongyi nodded and said, "I saw Dong Yuanol's expression, I was very surprised, I guess it wasn't the meaning of outsiders, I don't know, Li Baoding doesn't know, then I can't figure out who it means, it's probably the emperor's own idea." As soon as he said it, everyone was surprised. β
"Prince Gong is naturally strongly opposed."
"No," Weng Tongyi shook his head, "Prince Gong didn't speak. β
"And that's how it was settled?"
"Prince Gong doesn't speak, and his gang of people naturally don't speak, Li Baoding admonished, the son of a daughter, can't sit down, don't take the danger lightly, the emperor also said, he will never go to the front line, just go to Kulun, the farthest is in Kulun."
"Went to Cullen?" Li Ciming muttered, "In this way, the overall situation can be determined, not to mention that the twelve towns must be dispatched to protect the saint, and the Mongolian tribes now have the emperor himself to supervise the army, and they don't dare to make peace with the mud, Russians?" Hehe, there are only a few people in the land of Beihai, kill a few more, if they want to send more people, they will have to be thousands of miles away, and kill one less one. The North Sea is bound to fall into Chinese hands. β
"Why is the Twelve Towns so confident?"
"The twelve towns selected the elite from several major wars, the foundation is good, the drill is very strict, and there is the drill of German instructors, although I don't want to see the Germans, but I have read their information, won all three battles in the West, and built the country with this prestige, which must have its own uniqueness, the army is not bad, and there are foreigners' drills, plus the emperor personally supervises the war, relying on the Russian West Siberian governor of a few hundred people, what is the use? In the Battle of Yaksa in the past, more than 800 Russian people were trapped for a year, and only a few dozen people remained, if it went well this time, maybe they would be buried on the North Sea, and the Chinese soldiers have always been crowded and worthless. Li Ciming frowned and pondered: "Why didn't the emperor declare war and didn't personally conquer?" β
"How can it be a personal expedition, the emperor is only martial, but he is not proficient in the art of war." Weng Tonggong said, "A few days ago, when I read Biansai's poems, the old man knew that the emperor praised the great achievements of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and heard your opinion," Weng Tonggong said with a smile, "Today, I am naturally in favor, so I will do it according to the wishes of the guest, with Dong Yuanol." β
"What about the Gong Party?" Li Ciming asked.
"Speechless, Prince Gong is now more and more disobedient to the emperor," Weng Tongyi smiled proudly, "The emperor has been in power for a long time, and he also understands his identity, and he will not stop the emperor." β
In the future, it will be time for these masters of Hongdedian to appear.
Li Ciming shook his head, "Don't be too optimistic, the emperor, you still care about foreign affairs, but you are just displeased with Prince Gong, just like King Qin Huiwen dislikes Shang Ying, but he still practices the new law." β
"This ......"
"Both the DPRK and the CCP are new parties," Li Ciming said disgustedly, "The governance of the country has always been biased, the emperor couldn't see it before, and now he should see clearly, how the Gong Party is blocking the emperor, how soft the backbone of these people is, if you take advantage of this to visit the fortunate thing, you can weaken the power of the Gong Party, let the emperor know that the people in the DPRK and China are all under the command of the boss and Li Xiang, and they are also effective in handling errands, so that they can slowly reverse the disadvantage, evenly match, and the power of Qingliu will have a miraculous effect."
