Chapter 96

The signing of the Treaty of Shimonoseki made Li Hongzhang bear the blame of history, because it was a treaty that lost power and humiliated the country.

One of the reasons why Li Hongzhang was forced into this situation this time was that Li Hongzhang was a Han Chinese. Some people calculated that the land ceded by the Qing Dynasty was equivalent to 1.2 of the Three Three Kingdoms.

Zeng Yunfeng didn't do the math, but it's probably not much different, and the land cut off by Yizhou this time was approved by the ruler of the Qing Kingdom. Li Hongzhang was just a messenger, and it was because of his hands The army is really great.

The forces in Li Hongzhang's hands are almost the most powerful army in the entire Qing Dynasty. Even if it has been split up now, there are still a lot of disciples and former officials, and the other Manchu armies throughout the Qing Dynasty have long since decayed. The army was useless at all, and Li Hongzhang's Huai army force became a thorn in Cixi's eyes.

Xilaile recently received such a request to see a doctor for Li Hongzhang, but Xilaile was full of reluctance, because of the ideas that Lu Zhengming and others have instilled in him every day recently, Xilaile has become more and more clear about the concept of the country. .

Regarding the land of the Qing Dynasty that had lost the Sino-Japanese War, it would be ceded to one Yizhou and one province in the four northeastern island countries. Even though Xilaile didn't know how big the land of the Qing Dynasty was at present, he gave Li Hongzhang an analogy, saying that Cangzhou was only a A sesame, but Yizhou Island, is a sesame cake.

It was these words that made Li Hongzhang ashamed and could not raise his head. To be so humiliated by a commoner in the market can be said to be unacceptable.

Li Hongzhang knew that he must have a much heavier infamy in history than this humiliation. Indeed, these incidents were also the biggest stains in Li Hongzhang's life, and Li Hongzhang's death would cause the entire Huai Army system to fall apart, and Zeng Yunfeng also Aimed at Li Hongzhang Huai Army.

These people are people who have experienced the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Westernization Movement of the Sino-Japanese War. They are an army that has experienced many wars. Many people in this army can be absorbed.

Li Hongzhang can be said to have made a great contribution to the Qing Dynasty, but in the end the infamy he carried, especially the treaty he signed, was his stain, even though he always regarded himself as loyal.

Ito Hirobumi, the Prime Minister of the Four Northeastern Islands, once regarded Li Hongzhang as the only person in the Qing Dynasty who had the ability to compete with the world powers.

The German naval minister, Konard, called him the Bismarck of the East. Li Hongzhang and Zeng Guofan, Zhang Zhidong, and Zuo Zongtang were also called the four famous ministers of ZTE. Whoever does this kind of thing will not suffer, and his fame will be ruined. this.

Li Hongzhang can be said to have signed an unequal treaty to die. Before his death, he had become a professional who cleaned up the mess in the Qing Dynasty.

Although Xilaile didn't know the situation at all, Li Hongzhang really died after hearing his words. Before Li Hongzhang finally died, he saw the Eight-Power Allied Forces attack the capital.

At that time, Li Hongzhang was completely incapable of stopping it. Li Hongzhang was the one who made the navy of the Qing Dynasty become the number one in Asia. Although the navy of the Qing Dynasty was finally destroyed by his hands, he could not be completely blamed for his fault.

After Zeng Yunfeng came back, after hearing what Xilaile said to Li Hongzhang, he admired Xilaile in his heart and felt that he was very courageous.

But this is actually useless to the Qing Kingdom. If Li Hongzhang can be reinvigorated, it is very likely that he can do a good job. Even if it does not turn things around, it will still have some effect on blocking the Eight-Power Allied Forces in the future.

After Zeng Yunfeng left Li Hongzhang's mansion in Xilaile and returned here, and after talking with Xilaile again, Zeng Yunfeng decided to meet Li Hongzhang as the Yizhou Uprising Army.

Zeng Yunfeng decided to tell Li Hongzhang his plan. If the Qing Dynasty really decided to abandon Yizhou, then Yizhou could only fight against the four northeastern islands.

If the Qing Dynasty supported the four northeastern islands in occupying Yizhou, or even intervened in Yizhou to fight, Zeng Yunfeng would not be soft-hearted and would ruthlessly cleanse these Qing people who helped the people of the four northeastern islands.

When Zeng Yunfeng entered Li Hongzhang Li Zhongtang's mansion, Li Hongzhang's guards did not notice it at all.

Zeng Yunfeng was sitting in Li Hongzhang's study, waiting for Li Hongzhang to arrive. When Li Hongzhang returned to the study, he saw a person in the study. He was not surprised and seemed calm, and said directly, "Are you here to kill me?".

Zeng Yunfeng said, "Don't worry, I'm not here to kill you."

Li Hongzhang said with a wry smile: "I signed these treaties with a long history of infamy, and I don't care about life or death, and I don't know how many years I can live. stain.".

"But I think I have to wait for me to die, but but" Li Hongzhang sat down clutching his chest in pain.

Now that the public opinion is boiling, Li Hongzhang is naturally withdrawn as a scapegoat.

Zeng Yunfeng interrupted Li Hongzhang and said, "I have a solution or a plan now. After I finish speaking, do you think about it, do you want to support me? Yizhou must not be easily occupied by the four northeastern islands."

"If the four northeastern island countries want to occupy the entire Yizhou, they must spare a considerable amount of blood. I will not let the four northeastern island countries grab the profits of the war on Yizhou. However, the Qing Dynasty paid [-] million taels of silver to the four northeastern island countries. , and then ceding the island of Yizhou to the four northeastern island countries will only make the four northeastern island countries expand even more." Zeng Yunfeng said regretfully.

"At that time, you also know that these people from the four northeastern islands will not only plot a Yizhou. Although this war has ended, the second war will come soon. This is also a race." Zeng Yunfeng said.

"I can't control it anymore, I know that time is short, haha, I don't know how to write about me in this history book." Li Hongzhang said helplessly.

"You can't control it in the history books, but now there is one thing, you can control it. If the Qing Dynasty can outrun them, naturally the people of the four islands in the northeast will be imprisoned on his four islands, but if the Qing Dynasty can't outrun them. He, the people on this land will have another war with him, and he will definitely start a war on this land, I believe that Mr. Li Hongzhang and Li Zhongtang should be able to see this." Zeng Yunfeng said.

Li Hongzhang heard his words and asked, "Who are you?".

Zeng Yunfeng said: "An abandoned person.".

Li Hongzhang sighed and sighed.

Zeng Yunfeng continued: "We will fight in Yizhou. It is impossible for the four northeastern islands to stand in Yizhou. Even if the blood is dry, we will still fight against the people of the four northeastern islands on the island."

"We will become stronger very soon, but one thing, I hope to get your support, Li Zhongtang, in the Qing government, the Qing Dynasty, don't let these people who are blindfolded by interests attack our people, there is still hope The people of the Huai Army in Yizhou can help." Zeng Yunfeng said.

Li Hongzhang pondered for a while and said: "Yes, although I can't prevent the four northeastern island countries from occupying Yizhou, we will not hold you back.".

Zeng Yunfeng said: "Okay, then I promise again, even if the island of Yizhou abandons her, it will not be the territory of the people of the four northeastern islands. We will fight to the end." After Zeng Yunfeng finished speaking, he turned and left. Suddenly people disappeared.

Li Hongzhang still has expectations for the person who disappeared. He hopes that this person's promise to Yizhou will be truly realized. He also does not want the four northeastern islands to develop rapidly after receiving the dividends of this war. , that is not just a game or a violation of the people of this land.

Moreover, because of the Sino-Japanese War, the confidence of the people of the four northeastern islands was bursting, and there were more and more people from the four northeastern islands in the entire capital, but Zeng Yunfeng hung at the gate of Shiweitian the Chinese, Japanese and other languages ​​that the people of the four northeastern islands were not allowed to enter. language.

"Mr. Zeng, you are so courageous, and now the four northeastern islands are victorious!" said Mr. Wang, the old fritters.

"I don't sell the national dishes of the four northeastern islands here, neither today nor in the future." Zeng Yunfeng said
This brand makes many people from the Central Plains very excited at all times, but for the people of the four northeastern islands, this matter is an insult.

At this time, although many people on the land of Qing Dynasty dared to say it, they did not dare to do it, because they knew that foreigners were fierce and did not dare to offend foreigners.

But Zeng Yunfeng is not afraid of these, especially for the four northeastern island countries.

Zeng Yunfeng had long planned to start a war with the people of the four northeastern islands in Yizhou, and he was not afraid to provoke the people of the four northeastern islands. In the subsequent war of the Eight-Power Allied Forces, Zeng Yunfeng was also ready to bloody the troops of the four northeastern islands.

Zeng Yunfeng wanted to secretly recruit more people to carry out this task in this capital. Many people in the Qing Dynasty have no concept of the country at all. As for the concept of patriotism, they have no concept of patriotism. Master, this is the most realistic.

It is estimated that the servility in the hearts of the Qing people cannot be changed in a short time.

Zeng Yunfeng's own wife, Sai Xishi, is an advanced woman who has opened her eyes to the concept of the country. Sai Xishi is a person who has a very clear concept of the country and the nation, and her patriotism has skyrocketed recently.

On the other hand, a diplomat from the four northeastern islands came to Yixiaotang and asked Xilaile to see a doctor. Because of his reputation as a genius doctor, Xilaile's reputation has been booming recently, because it was not only seen by the emperor's concubine Zhen The disease was seen by the prince, even the Empress Dowager Cixi and many concubines in the palace.

Xilaile's current title can rival that of the imperial physician, even if he is not the imperial physician of the imperial hospital.

Even Li Hongzhang was seen because of Xilaile's illness, but because Li Hongzhang signed the Shimonoseki Treaty, he did not show it to Li Hongzhang. This matter also made many people feel relieved, and Xilaile was also highly praised by the people.

Afterwards, more and more people came here to let Xilaile see the disease, and Zeng Yunfeng saw this, and was very worried about Xilaile, because these princes and nobles were afraid that others would mention these shameful histories, and there must be many Xilaile in the future. trouble.
