Lincoln walked out, stood in front of Li Zhen, and said with a smile: "Lord Li, let's go!" ”

Li Zhen's eyes swept over Lincoln's shirt and found that Lincoln clearly did not change his shirt, but Li Zhen did not ask, after all, this was Lincoln's own will.

Li Zhen smiled and said, "I'll take you to see various places in Guangzhou and appreciate the customs." ”

As he spoke, Li Zhen took Lincoln and left the inn.

After leaving the post house, Li Zhen and Lincoln took a carriage and entered the thirteen lines of Guangdong, the most lively in Guangdong, shuttling through the middle of the major streets to appreciate the customs of Guangzhou. After walking around the bustling and wealthy streets, Li Zhen took Lincoln to visit famous attractions such as Baiyun Mountain, and finally dined with Lincoln.

After a busy day, it was already evening, and Li Zhen asked Lincoln to send him back to the inn.

The next day, Lincoln offered to take his leave.

After Lincoln negotiated with Li Zhen, he had already asked Li Zhen to take back the order and achieved his goal, so he hurried back.

At the port of Guangzhou, Li Zhen personally saw off Lincoln.

Lincoln looked at Li Zhen who was following him, stopped, bowed to Li Zhen, and then said gratefully: "Thank you Prince Li for your hospitality, we will meet next time." ”

Li Zhen nodded and said, "Mr. Lincoln, after you return to China, you must urge the President of the United States to apologize publicly as soon as possible." If I don't get the news, even if I lift the ban, the ban will still be reinstated, and all American businessmen and civilians in the country will be expelled. Please keep this in mind. ”

Lincoln said, "Don't worry, Lord Li, I will do a good job." ”

Li Zhen continued: "I hope that when Mr. Lincoln returns, he will continue to run for president." I look forward to the day when Mr. Lincoln is elected President of the United States. When the time comes, we will carry out in-depth cooperation. I believe that the cooperation between the two of us, and the cooperation between our two countries, is of profound significance to the whole world. ”

Lincoln laughed and said, "Borrow the auspicious words of Prince Li!" ”

Li Zhen said: "Have a good trip! ”

Lincoln thanked him and turned to get on the steamer.

After a short time, the whistle sounded, and the steamer set sail away, gradually moving away, disappearing from Li Zhen's sight. After Li Zhen returned to the palace with his group, another meeting was held to review the preparations of the people below. After everything was confirmed, the armies of Zuo Zongtang and Zeng Guofan swore to march and went to the north and Sichuan respectively to meet the battle.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Liewen also set off for Nanjing with a difficult task.

At this time, only Li Zhen, Peng Yulin, Yang Luchan, and Dong Haichuan were left without departure.

Li Zhen stayed in Guangzhou to deal with Ye Mingchen's affairs, and after getting rid of all the personnel installed in Guangzhou, he ensured the safety of Guangzhou, and then met Ye Mingchen in the study. Li Zhen said: "Governor Ye, the local personnel are complete, and there is still a shortage of officials in the DPRK. I plan to send Governor Ye to the court as an official, what does Governor Ye think? ”

Ye Mingchen raised his eyebrows, and said with a slight embarrassment: "The minister is willing to obey the dispatch of the prince." ”

Li Zhen said: "Governor Ye is insincere! ”

Ye Mingchen immediately knelt down on one knee and hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, the minister is willing to go to Nanjing as an official. Although he said that, Ye Chengxin was really uncomfortable in his heart. He is a powerful governor of Liangguang and is powerful, if he becomes an official in the court, what position can he hold?

Moreover, the current imperial court is Li Zhen's puppet, and it is difficult for him to get rights and display his talents after he goes, which makes Ye Mingchen very uncomfortable.

Li Zhen smiled slightly and said, "Governor Ye, I'll give you a thorough explanation." Shi Dakai and Yi 60 declared war on this king. This king sent troops to meet the attack, and then he must take advantage of the situation to unify the country, and you went to Nanjing to enter the court as an official, which is to adapt to the new position in advance and lay the foundation for the future. Your ability is good and you have enough experience, so I sent you to Nanjing. ”

Ye Mingchen swallowed his saliva, and was immediately surprised.

To unify the whole country and lay the foundation for the future, he can completely understand that Li Zhen wants to usurp power!

For a while, Ye Mingchen's heart began to become restless and excited.

Li Zhen asked again, "Governor Ye, what do you think?" ”

Ye Mingchen said without hesitation: "Okay, I agree!" ”

Li Zhen smiled slightly, took out a letter of appointment, and said, "Governor Ye will finish the matter at hand and rush to Nanjing to take office as soon as possible." There are many things in Nanjing, and they are also very complicated, and I hope that Governor Ye will sort out the affairs of Nanjing as soon as possible and wait for this king to go north. ”

Ye Mingchen took the letter of appointment and got up to say goodbye.

After he left, he opened the letter of appointment, and the official position given to him on it was the official secretary of the ministry, which was in charge of the promotion of officials. When he thought that after Li Zhen took the throne in the future, and he was the secretary of the ministry, he would definitely be in power in the future, and he was even more excited, thinking that he had taken refuge in Li Zhen this time, and he had definitely made the right bet and made a good move.

After Li Zhen sent Ye Mingchen away, he began to build momentum, and people publicly said that he went to Zeng Guofan's military camp.

Moreover, Li Zhen asked people to dress up as him and go to catch up with Zeng Guofan's team. Li Zhen's purpose in doing this was to prevent anyone from knowing his whereabouts. After Li Zhen dealt with the affairs in Guangzhou, said goodbye to his family, and quietly left Guangzhou with Peng Yulin, Yang Luchan, Dong Haichuan and others, and boarded a ship to the Heilongjiang region in the north.

Li Zhen was on a modified ship of a slightly smaller battleship, with guns and ammunition on board, and was also equipped with artillery. Although it was converted into a merchant ship, the men on board were all soldiers of the Sharp Knife Battalion, as well as some elite soldiers.

The battleship went all the way north, heading towards the northern region.

Along the way, there was no danger, and it was smooth sailing.

Li Zhen stood on the deck, looked at Peng Yulin, and said: "Peng Yulin, this time when you go north to Heilongjiang, there must be danger, it is very likely that you will not be able to come back, are you afraid?" ”

Peng Yulin raised his head and said loudly: "Male husband, the horse leather shroud defends the country, and it doesn't hurt to die on the battlefield!" I followed the prince north, and I was ready. Besides, the wife and children at home have settled down, and there is nothing to be afraid of. ”

Li Zhen smiled slightly, nodded, and then said: "We are at war with the Russians, although there is danger, but I believe that we will definitely win." We defeated the Americans, defeated the British, defeated the French, and so on. Now it's just the Russians, and they can also defeat each other. Believe in ourselves and we will win. ”

Peng Yulin nodded firmly, believing Li Zhen's words.

"Lord Wang, there are a few ships sailing over!" Suddenly, the soldier shouted loudly.

Li Zhen raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the situation?" ”

When the words fell, Li Zhen didn't wait for the soldier to reply, quickly took the telescope from the soldier's hand, and looked at the boat that was coming. As far as the eye can see, the ships are all hung with Russian flags, and there are also Russian soldiers on the battleships, which are clearly Russian troops.
