A gust of autumn wind hung up, and the few withered yellow leaves on a tree in the west swept up to the sky at once, like a broken kite, and soon fell in the courtyard.

At the end of the strong crossbow, looking at the dead leaves that fell to the ground, Liu Jun raised his head and sighed.

He saw it, Yi? The reason why he wanted to leave Lushun was not because there was anything important in the imperial court, but because he was worried that he would come into contact with the ministers of various countries.

Their current strength is already faintly similar to Beijing, and the Western powers are in the Far East, for the sake of interests, as long as they get benefits, they will do whatever it takes. It is an old fritter that has been dealing with foreigners for many years in the central government. He understands foreigners.

Is there any way to let them stay for two days, let themselves complete their plans, and hold the parade smoothly.

Liu Jun sat on the steps in front of the door. Close your eyes and start pondering.

Yes, Liu Jun opened his eyes fiercely, and he remembered a person, this person, must make Yi? Stay.

Opening his eyes, Liu Jun Liu Jun looked at Zhong Lin, who didn't know when he was sitting next to him.

"Is the old man up?" Liu Jun thought that only Li Hongzhang might be able to keep Yi.

"Head, people got up early, and now they're chatting with my sister-in-law."

I looked up at the sun, which had not yet shown its head. "At my house?" Liu Jun's eyes widened, with a look of disbelief.

"Well, it's been almost half an hour......

"Let's go" Without waiting for Zhong Lin to finish speaking, Liu Jun picked up the stairs that had just been placed next to him, grabbed the impostor, got up, and took the lead in looking at the hall of his house and rushed to the hall.

When he came to the hall where only a few pieces of furniture were placed, Liu Jun saw at a glance that Li Hongzhang was sitting on the Taishi chair, teasing his son. On the other side, Wu Xiaoyan and Li Maolian appeared next to Li Hongzhang on the left and right, showing a happy smile.

Li Hongzhang was about to turn his head and take the rattle in Li Maolian's hand, but he saw Liu Jun in a blink of an eye.

With a slight smile, Li Hongzhang knew that Liu Jun would come to him.

"Old man, I want to ......"

Before Liu Jun finished speaking, Li Hongzhang waved his hand, picked up the blue and white glazed tea bowl on the coffee table next to him, opened the lid, took a sip, and pointed to Liu Jun, who was still a little confused

"You want the old man to persuade the prince to stay for two days, right?"

Sure enough, Jiang was still old and spicy, and Liu Jun had to give a thumbs up in admiration.

Li Hongzhang smiled slightly, the old man can help you with this matter, but I can only stay for two days at most, if you want him to see anything, just hurry up, once it is late, the old man has no way. "More and more confused, how did he know that I had something to show the court

"Old man, how do you know I have a good job

Move? ”

Hmph, Li Hongzhang snorted coldly and showed a kind smile.

"You toss Japan, the weak have to go up to squeeze out interests, not to mention that now, the court has been ridden by you, with your character, the old man guesses that you will make a disturbance during this wedding."

After listening to Li Hongzhang's analysis, Liu Jun smiled and admitted it.

"Can you tell me what you want to do this time?" Although he knew that Liu Jun was going to do it, he didn't know the plan.

"I want a parade"

Parade? Li Hongzhang frowned, he didn't understand why Liu Jun wanted to parade at this time.

Liu Jun did this, in fact, according to the influence of later generations

He clearly remembered that in later generations, the most direct and deterrent thing was the military parade.

This military parade was originally intended to deter the imperial court, but Liu Jun did not expect that several foreign ministers would also come here, which made Liu Jun think of one thing, that is, to deter the imperial court and at the same time, let the countries know their own strength, let them have a pole here and the imperial court, don't find the wrong position at that time.

Hiss...... After listening to Liu Jun's thoughts and expressions, Li Hongzhang gasped, thinking that Liu Jun was just targeting the imperial court, but he didn't expect that Liu Jun's plan was so big.

After walking back and forth in the hall a few times, Li Hongzhang pondered for a few times and slowly sat down in his position.

Li Hongzhang had never seen the Lushun Army parade. In his opinion, the military parade is probably similar to the drill of the imperial court.

This is not a trivial matter, let alone to deter the great powers.

"How much time do you need?" Li Hongzhang frowned.

"Two days, two days is enough." Liu Jun stretched out two fingers. ”

Two days, one can be prepared in two days, which is really unbelievable. Li Hongzhang really thinks that Liu Jun is bragging.

"Are you sure it really only takes two days?" Li Hongzhang asked again.

"En" Liu Jun nodded seriously.

Seeing that Liu Jun was so serious and confident, Li Hongzhang nodded, walked down from his position, came to Liu Jun's side, and patted Liu Jun on the shoulder: "Okay, I'll tell you." After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the door, and went straight to Yi? I walked to the east wing where I lived.

"Head, can your grandfather really convince Yi? That old stubborn? Seeing Li Hongzhang going away to Beiyang, Zhong Lin, who had not spoken all the time, asked cautiously.

Liu Jun is not sure of this, and now he can only fight, and the bicycle becomes a motorcycle.

Without answering Zhong Lin's words, Liu Jun turned around and asked, "Have Wu Hao and the others in the First Training Office been prepared?" ”

"All preparations have been made, and the first infantry regiment, the first regiment and the cavalry that have been selected have entered the training office and are ready to be reviewed at any time."

Liu Jun nodded with satisfaction and sat casually at the table next to him, Liu Jun squinted his eyes and thought for a moment that he finally chose to believe Li Hongzhang.

"Go, tell Wu Datong, send out a notice, in order to celebrate my marriage to the imperial court Gege, tomorrow there will be a military parade in the west of the city training place. In addition, let him send out an invitation to invite the British, French, German, and Russian ministers to attend the military parade at eight o'clock tomorrow at the No. 1 training office in the west of the city. ”

"Okay." Zhong Lin nodded, and covered the green folder where the command was written just now. Turn around and walk out the door.

In the east wing, it was the technical room of the Beiyang Naval Division, and then the Naval Division retreated, and it was idle here until Liu Jun moved here, and it was transformed into a bedroom to receive VIPs.

The furnishings inside, except for the furniture that should be, are others. There are only a few vases used for decoration and flower beds bought from the market.

"What? You say Liu Jun is going to hold a military parade against foreign countries? "Yi? looked at Li Hongzhang who was sitting next to him in surprise.

Looking at Yi? With a surprised look and expression, Li Hongzhang nodded confirmingly: "Yes, Liu Jun thinks that over the years, foreign forces have become more and more presumptuous in my Great Qing Kingdom, and they don't take the imperial court in their eyes, and now, he and the imperial court have become relatives, as a relative, Liu Jun thinks that the imperial court is bullied by foreign countries, that is, he is bullying himself, so this time, he wants to hold a military parade in Lushun to deter foreign countries and warn them not to stretch their hands too long......"

Flicker, Li Hongzhang is also a typical master of flickering, he didn't mention Liu Jun's purpose of deterring the court at all, but only proposed that Liu Jun was to give the court a long face.

Abundant? was caught by Li Hongzhang with a shortcoming, that is, it was good for the imperial court, which made him have no way to refuse.

Nodding, Yi? I agree with Li Hongzhang's statement. After all, all these years. Their foreign bullying themselves is like bullying children, they can come when they want and leave when they want, and they are indeed hateful.

"The idea of the middle hall is very good, the problem is, this king has already decided to ...... today"

"Lord Wang...... "Yi? Before he finished speaking, he heard the voice of the butler outside the door.

Wait until the housekeeper comes in, Yi? Glancing at the housekeeper, he asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”

"Lord, just now when the women's toilet went out to buy something, I saw the people of Lushun discussing, tomorrow at eight o'clock, the Lushun Army invited the ministers of Britain, France, Germany and Russia to participate in the military parade to celebrate the marriage of directly with the imperial court." The butler briefly recounted the information he had received.

Is it true? Abundant? There was a hint of joy in my heart.

If this is the case, then it must be strongly supported......

"Lord Wang...... The prince ......, "Li Hongzhang looked at Yi? Sitting motionless, he didn't drink the teacup in his hand when he lifted the lid.

"Oh Yi? was awakened by Li Hongzhang and saw Li Hongzhang's expression. He stood up with a slight smile and looked at the housekeeper who was still standing there: "Go and inform Suo Dutong that the date of returning to Beijing has been postponed." ”

It's done, see Yi? Saying this, Li Hongzhang showed a subtle smile and picked up the tea in his hand and began to taste it.

This tea is getting more and more flavorful. Li Hongzhang thought indifferently in his heart.
