Chapter 493: Another Outer Mongolia
On the wine table, sitting here now, can be regarded as a senior military officer and government official in Lushun, Li Hongzhang has a big face, and he is Liu Jun's grandfather, so in a word, the first, second and third leaders of Liaodong all came to Li Hongzhang's mansion to participate in Li Hongzhang's banquet.
Liu Jun thought that only he was coming, but after talking to Li Hongzhang, it was Liu Jun who saw that Wu Datong, Yuan Shikai, Wu Hao, etc., all came to Li Hongzhang's courtyard.
However, Liu Jun didn't care about any of that. After all, after work, these people love to eat there, as long as they don't go to their own home.
After saying hello to each other and drinking a few glasses of wine with Li Hongzhang, Liu Jun asked Zhong Lin and Zheng Yiqian to help Li Hongzhang up, walked into the study, and told him about the arrival of the Russian fleet.
Li Hongzhang understood at that time that Liu Jun wanted to use the matter of the need for anchorage points for the Tsarist fleet, and negotiated with Sahe to jointly defend Shuangchengzi.
Li Hongzhang, who lowered his head and pondered for a few moments, looked at Liu Jun, and did not say anything, but asked Liu Jun how sure he was.
Regarding this matter, although Liu Jun did not say 100%, he still had a grasp of the ninth layer.
Just as he was about to speak, Liu Jun saw the door being pushed open, and then an intelligence officer walked up to Zhong Lin, handed Zhong Lin a telegram, and turned around and walked out. What is going to be delivered at this time, Liu Jun looked at Zhong Lin suspiciously.
While watching Zhong Lin quickly scan the telegram, his face was already beginning to change, and Liu Jun already felt in his heart that it must not be a good thing.
"Head, something happened in Tibet." After reading the telegram, Zhong Lin handed the telegram in his hand to Liu Jun and said slowly.
What the? Liu Jun was taken aback and stood up from the table at once. Not only that, but Li Hongzhang, who was sitting in a chair mourning, also stood up and looked at Zhong Lin with a puzzled expression.
Tibet has always been a place jointly managed by **** and **** Erde and the minister in Tibet, and it is also the easiest and least likely place for accidents in more than a dozen provinces.
"Head, there's information from the Tibet station. On the night of April 25, Lhasa's **** suddenly led an army to attack the residence of the minister stationed in Tibet and the residence of the ****, and established the Tibetan Empire the next day. ”
Okay, he's a Outer Mongolian. After hearing this, Liu Jun quickly skimmed the telegram, and then angrily crumpled the information into a ball and threw it on the ground.
"Head, what now?" Zhong Lin looked at Liu Jun blankly.
What to do, Liu Jun also has a headache now, Tibet is not as good as Outer Mongolia back then, Outer Mongolia rebelled back then, and he still bordered him, but now in Tibet, he doesn't even have a bordering place, Xinjiang borders Tibet, but Xinjiang has not yet been taken, and he can't drill soil, or cross Yunnan and Qinghai.
Boy, if there is a rebellion in Tibet, the imperial court will inevitably get an answer, why don't you let people investigate the movements of the imperial court. Li Hongzhang on the side saw Liu Jun walking back and forth in the study, and stepped forward to make suggestions.
By the way, how did he forget about this matter, thinking of this, Liu Jun slapped his palm and looked at Zhong Lin: "Send a telegram to No. 2, be sure to find out about the imperial court's rebellion in Tibet, and in addition, let the Guangxi Zhangqing Corps immediately prepare for battle." ”
"Okay," Zhong Lin nodded, turned around and walked out.
Li Hongzhang on the side looked at Zhong Lin who was far away, and he had a huge doubt in his heart, why was his No. 2 the one.
From Liu Jun's mouth, it can be seen that this No. 2 is a person who is very familiar with the imperial court, otherwise Liu Jun would not have been able to say that No. 2 would immediately find out the opinion of the imperial court.
"Who's Number Two?" Li Hongzhang saw Liu Jun sit down, looked at Liu Jun with wide eyes and asked.
"Guangxu's personal eunuch, Kou Liancai." Regarding Li Hongzhang's questioning, Liu Jun would not hide it, and could only say the answer in a proper manner.
Okay, this **** installed his own eyeliner in Tianjin back then, and now he has inserted his eyeliner in the center of the imperial court, which is simply against the sky. Li Hongzhang thought depressedly in his heart.
"Old man, I can't eat this meal with you, Liu Jun, who lowered his head and thought about it a few times, stood up and said to Li Hongzhang seriously.
"Go ahead and take care of your business." I knew that Liu Jun was about to be busy with Tibetan issues again. Li Hongzhang smiled slightly, and motioned to Liu Jun to deal with it with peace of mind, after all, there are so many people outside to accompany him, and he is not lonely.
There was a rebellion in Tibet, which made Liu Jun's heart rise to his throat all of a sudden. He knew very well in his heart that with his **** character, if there was no one to support him, he would definitely not dare to do this, and this Tibet is close to India. India has been annexed by the British, so Liu Jun already felt in his heart that it must be the British who are making trouble behind.
Hmph, give Lao Tzu eye medicine, Lao Tzu will not kill you in Africa I don't believe Liu, in the sound of resentment, Liu Jun clenched his fist, accompanied by Zheng Yiqian, walked out of Li Hongzhang's mansion and returned to the Lushun Headquarters.
"Don't be angry, a ****, you can't make much trouble." Seeing that Liu Jun had been sitting on the chair since he came back, Zheng Yiqian stepped forward very worriedly and began to comfort Liu Jun.
Of course, a **** can't make any big waves, but the UK behind this is not a good thing.
"Zhong Lin didn't come back." Liu Jun, who took a deep breath slightly, raised his eyes and looked at Zheng Yiqian and asked.
"Not yet." Zheng Yiqian shook her head slightly.
Liu Jun only vaguely remembered that in Africa, Britain would be dragged into the quagmire by a war for a long time and did not get out, and he couldn't remember the specific location of this war, until last year, he finally knew that this war was the Boer War.
The Boer War, Britain thought it was a small battle, who knows, this war will drag Britain down for many years.
"Head, I have already sent a telegram to No. 2, he said that the imperial court is discussing this matter, and as soon as there is a result, he will report it immediately." Ten minutes later, a panting Zhong Lin came in and put things aside.
Nodding slightly, Liu Jun looked at Zhong Lin, pondered for a while and asked, "What's going on over there in Africa?" ”
Africa, Zhong Lin, who was puzzled, instantly understood what Liu Jun asked. Bowing his head and pondering, Zhong Lin stepped forward: "Everything is ready, I owe that fire." ”
Hmph, British, Lao Tzu doesn't mess with you, if you come to provoke me, then don't blame me for being unkind, thinking of this, Liu Jun looked at Zhong Lin, and after showing a sneer, he stood up, and after walking back and forth in the room a few times, he turned around and said word by word: "Light this fire for me." I'm going to burn him. ”
"Understood." Knowing that Liu Jun was angry, Zhong Lin nodded, turned around and walked out.
