The wind blew suddenly, and the curtains on the windows did not sway with the wind.

Liu Jun's words are too direct, money, what he lacks most is money.

Li Hongzhang actually guessed it in his heart, but as a gentleman, he estimated that Liu Jun would say anything tactfully, but unexpectedly, Liu Jun was so direct.

Li Hongzhang forgot one thing, that is, he is a gentleman, but Liu Jun, no one has ever thought that he is a gentleman, even himself, and he thinks so.

"How much money do you lack?" The ghost made the god worse, Li Hongzhang didn't even think about it, and was directly covered by Liu Jun's nose and left.

"About two million, right?" Liu Jun lowered his head and thought for a moment, biting his lip. He was really a little embarrassed, after all, this Li Hongzhang was not his money bag.

So much, Li Hongzhang gasped, he really didn't know, Liu Jun wanted so much money, could it be to build an arsenal. After carefully looking at the sketch in my hand, it looks like it is indeed an arsenal, but this arsenal is also too big.

Rolling up the drawings, Li Hongzhang thought for a while and raised his head: "The old man doesn't have so many here, he can probably only pay you one million taels, and as for the rest, it's up to you." ”

"Understood." Liu Jun nodded excitedly in his heart, now, don't say that Li Hongzhang opened his mouth to give him one million, that is, 500,000, Liu Jun will be grateful in his heart.

"Old man, shall we eat?" Liu Junle, who received the windfall, began to greet Li Hongzhang.

Li Hongzhang touched his stomach, and then remembered that from the time he came to Lushun to the present, he really hadn't eaten anything except for drinking some tea.

Nodding, Li Hongzhang handed over the drawings to Liu Jun and walked out of the room satisfied.

The dinner party that received Li Hongzhang was not very sumptuous, but it was also a side dish on the table. Li Hongzhang is also very happy today, after all, while completing the mission of the imperial court, he is even more sure that he is not wrong to choose Liu Jun.

After a few glasses of wine, Li Hongzhang, who had no alcohol left, went to the bedroom that had already been arranged, with the support of Xiang'er and others.

Starry-studded. The moon seems to be far away tonight, and it was another mistake, Liu Liujun, who had eaten the dinner, was alone, moved a bench, and sat in the courtyard after seeing off Li Hongzhang.

"Who?" Liu Jun, who was admiring the moon again, obviously felt footsteps behind him.

"It's me, Yang Shixiang." After the man finished speaking, he immediately quickened his pace. came to Liu Jun.

"Old Yang, why haven't you rested so late?" Liu Jun saw that it was Yang Shixiang, and immediately let go of the hand on his waist.

Yang Shixiang smiled, did not speak, but found a random step to do it, and then said lightly after a while: "I can't sleep, I'll talk to you for a while." ”

chatting, Liu Jun didn't understand, what did he have to talk to him. But now that people have found them, Liu Jun is not easy to refuse. Nodding, Liu Jun lifted his chair and approached Yang Shixiang, who was sitting on the steps.

Yang Shixiang has always had a big question in his heart.

He has been thinking about what Liu Jun is doing this for, and whether it is true that he wants to change the dynasty.

"Can you tell me honestly, if there is no Russia, no worries of Lord Zhongtang, or no peace sue from the imperial court, will you not have a truce after taking Jilin?"

Liu Jun was stunned for a moment, smiled slightly, pulled out a tender grass from the side, put it in his mouth and chewed it a few times.

Forgetting the moon in the sky, Liu Jun thought for a moment: "Yes"

"Why?" Yang Shixiang frowned.

Liu Jun went down, he didn't think of fighting at all, fighting is to die, he wants to fight, but sometimes, he is forced to fight, this time he started a war with the imperial court, just because he was worried that once the imperial court entered Liaodong, then the land reform that had just been completed would be interrupted again. Your own efforts will be in vain. Then the promise to the people of Liaodong will be an empty word.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Jun lightly spit out the grass in his mouth: "No one wants to fight." I didn't think about rebellion, but sometimes, in order to inherit Ruoruo, for the sake of the people to live a good life, I had to do it. ”

Commoners? Yang Shixiang was even more puzzled, he didn't understand what this had to do with the people.

Liu Jun saw Yang Shixiang's thoughts through the moonlight, he smiled slightly, and slowly said his reasons.

In the east wing of the Lushun Headquarters, it was already late at night, but Yang Shixiang couldn't sleep for a long time now, and Liu Jun's words shocked him. Yang Shixiang has always thought that Liu Jun is a sinister, cunning, and even irresponsible person.

This time, he was not satisfied with Liu Jun's war with the imperial court, just now he went to talk to Liu Jun, saying that it was chatting, in fact, it meant to blame, but Liu Jun's words made Yang Shixiang suddenly change his opinion of Liu Jun.

Although Liu Jun and Liu Jun said a lot at the time, the most important thing was that Yang Shixiang was drunk, and there was only one sentence.

If I were to be responsible for loyalty to the court and to the people, I would choose the people.

"This person is limitless in the future." For a long time, Yang Shixiang muttered to himself.

Lushun, although the morning mist has not completely dispersed, and the sun has not yet shone through the clouds to the earth, but now, the wharf of Lushun Military Port has been filled with people to see them off.

"Old man, can't you stay a few more days? It's only one night and you're leaving. Liu Jun looked at Li Hongzhang, who was standing in front of him with steamed buns and white hair, but looked at him kindly, and felt a little reluctant in his heart.

Li Hongzhang smiled slightly: "No, I also want to stay for a few more days, but now the imperial court is also waiting for your reply, and I will also hurry back and tell you about agreeing to the truce." ”

Well, Liu Jun nodded, he also knew that this matter could not be delayed. Li Hongzhang's worries at that time were not unreasonable, after all, the more it dragged on, the more Mongolia would see through.

"Old man, you tell the court again that for the sake of the overall situation, I am still a subject of the Great Qing Kingdom."

Li Hongzhang nodded, looked at Li Maolian behind him, and smiled slightly, Li Hongzhang smiled: "Take care of my granddaughter." Then he turned around and was accompanied by Yang Shixiang. Embarked on the cruiser Pingyuan, which was already ready to fire.

As soon as Li Hongzhang got on the boat, the sailors who had been waiting on the side suddenly pulled off the pedals.

Woowoo...... Woo ......woo woo, Pingyuan suddenly increased its horsepower, squeaked, the long hull of the Pingyuan jumped away from the dock, began to leave the port surrounded by mist, and sailed towards Tianjin.

Beijing City, Chuxiu Palace, the glorious royal style of the lamp wall, did not dissipate the sorrow in Cixi's heart, it has been a few days, and he still has not been affected by Li Hongzhang or even Yi? any intelligence.

Cixi is really worried now, Liu Jun will continue to go south through Shanhaiguan after taking Jilin. Then, when you walk in, you have to prepare to move the capital.

After all, Cixi knew in her heart that when Shanhaiguan arrived in Beijing, there was no force to contain Liu Jun, and if Liu Jun was going to fight, it would only take five days at most, and he would arrive at the city of Beijing.

"Galeries Lafayette...... Lafayette ......" Li Lianying's voice came from outside the hall.

Stopping this voice, there was some joy, could it be that Liu Jun agreed. Thinking of this, Cixi stood up at once and looked out the door.

After a while, she saw a eunuch running in with a happy face, laughing and shouting, "Lafayette, great joy, great joy." ”

Although she couldn't hold back the excitement in her heart, Cixi still pretended to be calm: "When will you be happy?" ”

"This morning, I listened to the adults of the Military Aircraft Department say that Liu Jun has completely stopped the attack.

What the? Cixi couldn't calm down and stopped attacking, which meant that Liu Jun agreed to the court's request.

"Good, good." Cixi picked up Xiupa's hand, walked down the position with joy, and walked back and forth outside the gate of Chuxiu Palace excitedly.

Manifest from heaven, Cixi covered her chest with her hands.

Maybe it was because she remembered something, Cixi actually walked like a fly, and walked into the back hall for the first time without anyone's support.

In the back hall, there is a statue of Guanyin squatting in pure gold.

With a plop, Cixi, who had never knelt down, suddenly knelt in front of the culling, folded her hands, and muttered to herself: "Bodhisattva bless, this chaotic minister and thief has finally ceased fighting, and my Daqing country will be stable from now on." I love Xinjueluo's family and will be stable from now on. ”
