Tuqing: My first love was Cixi

Chapter 241 The blood of the palace! Empress Dowager Ci’an! Detonated
"Empress Dowager, please come this way." Zhu Sanniang walked out and said to Empress Dowager Ci'an.

"Your master isn't in front?" Empress Dowager Ci'an asked.

Zhu Sanniang said: "Master is taking a bath."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Would you like to take a bath at this time?"

However, that's all she asked, not really suspecting anything.

Then, Zhu Sanniang took Empress Dowager Ci'an to the side room.

When entering, there was water vapor inside, and Yehenala was sitting in the bathtub, her face flushed.

At this time, I can't see any flaws.

"Sister, what's wrong? Are you so angry?" Yehenala asked, and then she stood up to greet her.

"Don't get up, just sit like this." Empress Dowager Ci'an said, and then she instinctively threw the booklet out of her hand.

But seeing Zhu Sanniang next to her, she couldn't help but endure it.

"Empress Dowager, please sit down." Zhu Sanniang moved over to a brocade pier.

Yehenala said: "You can go out, you don't need to wait here anymore."

"Yes." Zhu Sanniang said, and then walked out obediently.

Her steps were graceful, just like that of a woman from a wealthy family.

But just after walking more than ten meters, he immediately rushed into Yehenala's bedroom quickly.

Clean everything up here quickly.

Start burning incense again and gently wipe every corner of the floor.

At this time, Su Yi was still in bed.

"My Lord, what time is it? Please get up quickly." Zhu Sanniang said: "I think the East Queen Mother and the West Queen Mother have secret things to say. Aren't you going to listen?"

Su Yi stood up, and the flagpole was still standing straight at this moment.

Zhu Sanniang washed her hands, then poured some essence on the towel, soaked it, and then helped Su Yi wipe it gently.

It's okay if you don't wipe it. The more you wipe it, the straighter it will be.

Zhu Sanniang's breath was slightly suffocated, and she said angrily: "I can help you in other places, but she is quite alone."

You know everything.

Then, she took a piece of clothing and helped Su Yi put it on.

Then I started tidying up the room neatly, making sure no smell was left behind.

Although Empress Dowager Ci'an may not come over, she still has to make sure nothing goes wrong.

"My Lord, what are you still doing here? Aren't you going to eavesdrop?" Zhu Sanniang lay on the ground and wiped the floor while saying.

"I'm not going." Su Yi said.

Zhu Sanniang said: "Aren't you going to listen to what they say?"

Su Yi said: "It doesn't mean much whether you listen or not."

Then, Su Yi said: "Sanniang, do you feel wronged?"

Zhu Sanniang said: "What's there to feel wronged about?"

Su Yi said: "You, the Tiandihui who fought against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty, first served me, a Tatar, and then you, a female Tatar, like her?"

Zhu Sanniang said: "What do you mean by rebelling against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty? There was nothing good about the Ming Dynasty. The future of our powerful nation is the bright road."

A powerful society.

The purpose of the organization established by Lin Li and others is to revive China and to be loyal to the leader.

As for this leader, it is Su Yi.

This organization is now very strict and very large, with thousands of members.

A powerful country will have two core institutions, one is the Secret Service and the other is the New Army.

There are two extremes among the members of the powerful association.

One is those who read a lot and look at the world.

The other type is those who haven’t read much and have a single-minded mind.

Hei Gong, Zhu Sanniang, and Gui'er are all core members of the Powerful Association.

Su Yi said: "Sanniang, after I leave Beijing, your work will be very stressful."

"I know." Zhu Sanniang said: "Our enemies are all lurking now, waiting for chaos in the world, waiting for our failure, and then rush out to defeat us."

The palace is the top priority.

Now, Su Yi has four core figures in the palace.

Zenglu, Zhu Sanniang, Chengshou, Guier.

Zhu Sanniang is on Yehenala's side, Xiong is on Empress Dowager Ci'an's side, and Gui'er is on the side of the little emperor.

Zenglu, on the other hand, is the eunuch in charge.

"Sanniang, let me give you a gift." Su Yi said.

Zhu Sanniang, who was lying on the ground mopping the floor, raised her head, her heroic and delicate face full of surprise and said: "What?"

"Gun." Su Yi said.

Zhu Sanniang's face turned red and she said, "Bah, I just finished washing the floor. She is very smart and will smell it out."

Damn, where did you think you were?
Then, Zhu Sanniang lay down and took off her trousers: "Hurry up, who knows how long we can talk over there. It's not necessarily safe if someone is watching."

Well? !

Su Yi saw that astonishingly round buttocks, which were so white that it dazzled her eyes.

He stepped forward and patted it gently.

Then, he picked up a small box next to him, opened it, took out a revolver inside, and handed it to her.

"Ah? It's a real gun, you don't want to get it." Zhu Sanniang took the revolver in surprise.

For more than half a year, Su Yibei had no female relatives around him, but Zhu Sanniang was bold and dared to love and hate, so the two of them had experienced that.

But as a fierce woman, she never thought about her identity.

She was solely focused on her career, and because of her strong abilities, she quickly rose through the ranks within the Secret Service.

Moreover, this woman has a strong personality.

Many sisters in the female camp trust her without reservation, which even Hong Renli cannot do.

Hong Renli is very powerful, but arrogant and a little moody, often falling into gloomy moods.

And Zhu Sanniang is always cheerful and fierce.

And her emotion towards Su Yi was different from other women, she worshiped her passionately.

For this kind of adoration, she would even take the initiative to distance herself.

"There are only nine specially customized ones in total." Su Yi said.

Zhu Sanniang seemed to have gotten a special toy and began to play with the revolver without any guidance.

Su Yi pointed and said: "Pants."

"Oh!" Zhu Sanniang casually pulled up her pants that had fallen to the crook of her legs.

Finally, he reluctantly played with the revolver in his hand, and then continued to work.

Make sure the entire room is clean and light incense in a few corners.

"Sir, the Queen Mother in the east may be the focus of our work next." Zhu Sanniang said: "Deep in her heart, she does not agree with your behavior."

Su Yi said: "I know."

Zhu Sanniang said: "However, even if you want to take action against her, you must avoid this person on the west side? This person on the west side is very jealous."

Su Yi said: "What?"

Zhu Sanniang said: "My subordinate is very tall and has long legs. She always steps on the bottom of the flowerpot in front of me."

She is indeed tall, about 1.73 meters tall.

Moreover, he has been practicing martial arts for a long time, and his legs are straight and strong, and his body is toned and hot.

"Okay, I think you should hide. If the Queen Mother from the east really comes over, she will be stimulated by seeing you." Zhu Sanniang said.

Su Yiyan followed the plan and went directly to the back room to hide.

..............................

In the registration room.

After Zhu Sanniang left, Empress Dowager Ci'an angrily threw a booklet in front of Yehenala and said, "Look, look."

Ci'an has always been polite to the Yehenala family, and has no airs about the palace at all.

This attitude at this time is really rare.

Yehenala picked up the book and looked at it, and couldn't help but blush.

Because this picture is so familiar.

It seemed like it had just happened.

This...this turned out to be an erotic book.

"If there is such a thing in the palace, it's not worth my sister's anger." Yehenara said.

Empress Dowager Ci'an said angrily: "The emperor was secretly reading this booklet during class. Master Wo Ren discovered it and directly complained to me."

Immediately, Yehenala's expression changed.

emperor?

The emperor is less than eight years old? Just look at this thing?
Then, Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "You also know the virtues of the late emperor, but even so, the late emperor did not touch this thing before he was a teenager. How can he touch this thing when he is less than eight years old? "

"Normally, you are in charge of everything in the palace. There were a lot of things and turmoil in the past, but we can't lose our rules."

Hearing the harsh lesson from the Empress Dowager of the East Palace, Yehenala also blushed.

"Now we want to find out who gave the book to the emperor. We must find this person." Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "This matter is serious, it is to murder the emperor."

"The people around the emperor must also be dealt with." Empress Dowager Ci'an said.

Yehenala's face changed slightly.

Because the chief eunuch beside the emperor is Su Yi's confidant Gui'er.

Obviously this matter is not that simple.

Then, the two men fell silent.

Empress Dowager Ci'an suddenly asked: "Do you sleep peacefully every night?"

Yehenarashi shook his head.

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "I am even more uneasy. So many people died outside the palace. Every night when I close my eyes, I see many people asking for my life in my dreams."

"I also often dream about the late emperor and Lord Daoguang, and they all blame me."

At this point, Empress Dowager Ci'an shed tears and said, "Why can't we live in peace? Why do we have to go through such trouble?"

Yehenala said: "Sister, the matter has come to this, we can only look forward."

Empress Dowager Ci'an cried: "Are our ancestors' country and country going to be destroyed in our hands?"

Yehenala did not dare to give a too clear reply.

Next, the two said a few more words.

"This matter must be dealt with." Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "No one can reach out to the emperor. This is the bottom line of this palace."

Yehenala said: "I know, the emperor is still my biological son."

Then, Empress Dowager Ci'an left.

........................

More than half an hour later.

Yehenala told Su Yi the whole thing.

"This is for you." Yehenala said: "They are using the emperor as a weapon to launch a tentative attack on you."

"In addition, I want to drive a wedge between you and the Queen Mother in the East Palace."

Su Yi nodded and said, "I know."

"You don't know, she came over and scolded me all over my face." Yehenala sobbed, "She has never scolded me like that."

Su Yi gently held her in her arms.

Yehenala said: "She is angry in her heart, she just resents me. Damn it, why are you so fierce? I don't know how many enemies are watching us secretly and want to harm us."

"If you still think about going to Tianjin to train troops, one day I will die in this palace better than them."

Then, her body began to tremble.

"You, why did you come in again?" Yehenala said tremblingly: "I, I just finished taking a bath."

It took quite a while.

She suddenly said: "Are you in there again?"

"I will kill you, I will bite you to death..." Yehenala opened her mouth and bit Su Yi's chest hard and cried: "You are really afraid of being killed. If you are really going to get pregnant, I will It’s over.”

Then, she cried in Su Yi's arms for a while.

"It's time for me to leave," Su Yi said.

"Why go?" cried Yehenala.

Su Yi said: "If I don't leave, I will really spend the night on the dragon's bed."

Yehenala said: "You are an animal who has done many bad things. Do you still care about this?"

Then, she hugged Su Yi and didn't let go.

Suddenly he said: "How about leaving the capital and going to the south? It would be good to stay and fly together this way, and avoid having to worry every day."

..............................

next day!

The empress dowagers of the two palaces were sitting at attention.

Wo Ren, the master in the study room, knelt straight on the ground.

"Your Majesty, this matter must be investigated thoroughly. There is a black sheep around the Emperor."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Gui'er, how did you work as an errand? Did everyone get involved with the emperor?"

The young eunuch Gui'er knelt down and kowtowed: "I am guilty, I am guilty."

Yehenara asked: "What happened? Who gave this booklet to the emperor?"

Guier said: "No one gave it to the emperor, someone secretly put it in the emperor's drawer."

"Then you are also at fault. Wouldn't you have searched the emperor's drawers beforehand?"

Guier kowtowed and said, "I know I was wrong."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Excuse me from Gui'er's errand, you go..."

After thinking for a while, Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "You can go and wait for Concubine Lian."

Guier kowtowed and said, "Hey."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Chengzhu."

A young eunuch came out and said, "My servant is here."

This is the confidant eunuch of Empress Dowager Ci'an.

"From now on, you will be with the Emperor on errands." Empress Dowager Ci'an said.

Eunuch Chengzhu said: "My slave obeys the order."

........................

More than half an hour later.

The young eunuch Gui'er knelt in front of Su Yi and said, "Master, this slave has embarrassed you."

Guier has always been very capable.

From south to north, I followed Su Yi and did many great things.

This time it was a small stumble, and this kind of thing was completely impossible to prevent.

Su Yi fell into silence.

Gui'er said: "The Queen Mother in the East is very clear now. The Emperor is her bottom line. She doesn't want us to touch the Emperor. The Emperor must be surrounded by her people. She is afraid that we will harm the Emperor."

"Are we giving up control of the Emperor?"

Su Yi continued to think.

In fact, Su Yi didn't think of doing anything to the little emperor.

But in everyone's eyes, the little emperor was in danger under Su Yi's control.

Although the little emperor was born to Yehenala, he was brought up by the Empress Dowager Ci'an, so she has a strong love for licking calves.

but……

If the little emperor could relax with Su Yi's help and education, his future might be better.

Once it is handed over, then...the tragedy of the little emperor in history will probably be repeated.

Both Weng Tonghe and Wo Ren are very old-fashioned and will suppress the little emperor's nature to the extreme.

Then when he grows up a little, he will be completely indulgent.

Emperor Guangxu's temperament was already very flamboyant, and Tongzhi was even more flamboyant.

Su Yi sighed softly: "That's it, that's it."

"In that case, let's hand the emperor over."

In this way, Su Yi can also reduce a lot of moral burden, and can be more calm when facing the Yehenala family in the future.

If someone is determined to take away the emperor's control, let's take it.

Otherwise, it really seems like Su Yi has some intentions towards the little emperor.

It's really ridiculous. Probably in the eyes of those people, he is really Cao Cao and needs the emperor's hand.

Little did they know that the path Su Yi was going to take was a righteous decision from heaven.

The future emperor was just a burden to him.

Moreover, Gui'er has great abilities. If he is tied to the emperor, he can't do anything.

"Go check and find out who put this erotic book in the little emperor's drawer." Su Yi said.

Guier said: "Yes."

........................

Under the order of the chief eunuch Zenglu, Guier and others acted resolutely and began a thorough investigation.

Just two days later!

The four eunuchs were found out.

The person behind this incident is an old acquaintance.

Wang Deli.

It was the one who replaced Zenglu and became Emperor Xianfeng's personal eunuch.

When he went to Su Yi's house to announce the decree, he asked Su Yi for a bribe but failed, so he threatened him, and then slandered the emperor.

After Su Yi entered the center, there was no need for him to do anything himself. Wang Deli went to work as a handyman.

Moreover, every time I saw Su Yi before, she immediately knelt down and slapped herself from a distance, not to mention how well-behaved she was.

As a result, at the critical moment, he can still pull a trick.

At this time, he knelt in front of Su Yi and said with a sad smile: "As of now, our family has nothing to say."

"We are alone. If you want to kill or behead us, please do as you please."

"But if you want our family to confess, that's not possible."

"Isn't it just death? We are not afraid."

Obviously, Wang Deli is just a eunuch. He is not capable of such a plan. There are other big figures behind it.

But did the other party do this to regain control of the emperor, or to alienate the relationship with the Empress Dowager Ci'an?
........................

As the empress dowager of the main palace, Ci'an should live in Cining Palace.

However, Cining Palace was considered unlucky by many people and had been empty for a long time. Empress Dowager Ci'an also chose to live in Zhongcui Palace.

"The Queen Mother, Su Yi wants to see you."

For a long time, Su Yi had been very polite to the Empress Dowager Ci'an. Even though the imperial court was in Chengde at that time and she and the young emperor were the only ones in the palace, Su Yi rarely met her.

After entering the center, Su Yi rarely interacted with the Queen Mother of the East Palace.

Because the Queen Mother has a soft temper and is not a qualified political figure.

Yehenala is a qualified ally.

Moreover, after the last fight between Empress Dowager Ci'an and Ci Xi, their relationship became somewhat estranged.

Upon hearing Su Yi's request for an audience, Empress Dowager Ci'an couldn't help but be slightly startled, and then said, "Let him come in."

………………

"I see the Queen Mother."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Get up."

"See your seat!"

Su Yi didn't refuse and sat down directly.

But for a long time, he didn't speak.

Ci'an suddenly said: "We are also separated, right?"

Su Yi said: "The person who stuffed the erotic brochure in the emperor's desk was caught. There were four eunuchs in total, and the messenger was the late emperor's former confidant eunuch Wang Deli."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "She? Why?"

Su Yi said: "There are two reasons."

"The first reason is that Gui'er is a close scholar of Chen. With him by the emperor's side, they are worried that the emperor will be controlled by me."

"The second reason is that they want to drive a wedge between the minister and the Queen Mother."

Empress Dowager Ci'an's beautiful face suddenly showed a trace of nervousness.

Because she was not good at confrontation by nature, he and Su Yi hadn't dealt with each other for a long time. When faced with Su Yi's directness again, he didn't know how to deal with it.

"I do not want to control the emperor. Now I understand that the emperor is your bottom line, the Queen Mother. You want to protect the emperor, so you must personally appoint the people around the emperor." Su Yi said: "Of course this is possible. From now on From now on, I will never get involved in the affairs of the Emperor."

Ci'an said: "That's not necessary, you are also one of the emperor's teachers."

Su Yi said: "I will be very busy in the future, and the time I can give lectures to the emperor will be very short, but I will try my best."

"There is another thing. I will leave the capital soon."

Empress Dowager Ci'an was stunned, are you leaving the capital at this time? How many lurking enemies are there in the capital? You dare to leave the capital before you have completely controlled the situation in the court?

In fact, everyone, including the Empress Dowager Ci'an, felt that Su Yi would be in the capital for a long time, constantly creating major cases and cleaning up political opponents.

"I am going to Tianjin to train and teach troops." Su Yi said: "Of course I will go to Beijing occasionally, but...most of the time I will be in Tianjin."

For a moment, Empress Dowager Ci'an didn't know what to say.

Su Yi said: "So before we say goodbye, I have a few words from the bottom of my heart that I want to say to the Queen Mother."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "You say."

Su Yi said: "As for the emperor, his personality is similar to that of the late emperor, but he is much more out-of-the-box than the late emperor. Blind suppression is not the answer. Try to be relaxed and relaxed."

"Have you and the Queen Mother of the West been somewhat estranged recently?"

Empress Dowager Ci'an was indeed a little uncomfortable with Su Yi's straightforward way of speaking. Of course, many people were not suitable for it. It would appear overbearing and leave no room for maneuver.

"The two queen mothers are a whole." Su Yi said: "At that time, I brought the queen mother and the emperor from Chengde to the capital, which almost caused a split in the central government. Now the central government cannot bear another split."

"But if there is a little crack between the two queen mothers, then many people will try their best to tear the crack wide."

"Just like this time, someone alienated the relationship between the minister and the Queen Mother. Just because of an erotic book, the Queen Mother became angry with me." Su Yi said: "Because the Queen Mother is afraid of me in her heart and thinks that I will take the opportunity to cause trouble. , what you do next will make you overwhelmed, and after you are afraid, you will instinctively defend yourself.”

"In the next few months, the Empire's Central Army has not yet been fully trained, and the domestic situation is extremely dangerous. The local Eight Banners see that they are about to be abolished, so they are ready to move. The imperial court has fallen into confrontation again, and undercurrents are surging."

"The next few months will be the most dangerous moment, and the Qing Dynasty will be most vulnerable."

"The Queen Mother, I have a way out. For me, the worst situation is to leave the center and return to the south. But for the center of the imperial court, once chaos breaks out, the Qing Dynasty will immediately fall apart."

"So at this time, the two queen mothers must unite and not be separated by anyone."

"With that said, I take my leave."

Then, Su Yi bowed and left.

Empress Dowager Ci'an's voice came to her ears: "I heard it, and I don't care about you either..."

………………

In this way, Su Yi left the capital with Zuo Zongtang and headed for Tianjin.

Everyone was almost caught off guard.

At this moment, are you really leaving?
After Su Yi left, Yehenala ordered that the eunuch Wang Deli be cut into pieces.

Beat the remaining eunuchs to death with sticks.

In the following time, Su Yi really put aside all government affairs at the center of the court.

All of them were handed over to the Political Affairs Hall and the Military Aircraft Department.

Aren't you worried that I will become Cao Cao?

Is there such a Cao Cao in the world?
Cao Cao should have controlled all government affairs, and he should have replaced all the people in the court before he dared to leave?

However, times have changed.

For Su Yi, what he wanted to implement was the plan to cut leeks.

It is to let you emerge at the moment of crisis, and then take advantage of the glorious victory to kill you with one blow.

Whoever shows his head will be cut off.

Cutting and cutting, within a few times, the color of the world will change.

For his part, he has successfully promoted major disarmament and military reforms.

Then, he will focus all his energy on the army.

Relying entirely on money from the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone for military training is like fishing in a dry lake.

He is different from the Hunan Army. The other party can scrape the territory desperately, and there are four or five provinces that can be scraped.

Su Yi's Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone is a golden chicken that can lay eggs. You cannot kill the chicken to obtain the eggs.

Using money from the imperial court center to train troops is the way to go.

........................

Next, Su Yi spent every day in the military station.

Classes are held every day for officers of all levels.

This time the training of troops was much more challenging than the previous training of the new army.

Last time there were only more than 2,000 people, but this time there were 30,000 or 40,000 people.

In order to maintain order, Su Yi's six thousand elite men directly stationed themselves at the military station.

And among the 30,000 to 40,000 troops, less than half were banner men.

The bannermen hated Su Yi deeply.

But unlike last time, this time Su Yi had absolute authority, and there was no one like Boyan to seize power.

Moreover, the bannermen and Han people were all dispersed.

Not only that, everyone had their heads bald, even their braids were gone.

In addition, even among the 30,000 to 40,000 new recruits, Su Yi's basic base is very strong.

Almost all Han recruits admired Su Yi from the bottom of their hearts.

Because Su Yi dared to go to war with the foreigners at the critical moment and defended the palace and the Old Summer Palace.

Moreover, the first new policy implemented was to abolish the Eight Banners Beijing Camp.

The latter, in particular, almost brought home the hearts of all the lower-class Han people in Zhili.

Coupled with the generous salary and good food of the New Army.

There are also Congress members Lin Liqiang who are attacking everywhere, doing all kinds of brainwashing and political actions.

Ronglu also often comes to the military station, because he is also the Minister of Army, so he is supposed to have a share in these troops.

Seng Gelinqin basically stayed at the Tianjin Military Station.

He even attended every class Su Yi had at the Imperial Army Academy.

In the new imperial army that he had trained, he was the supreme commander of the cavalry division, and Wang Shiqing was only the second in command.

At that time, Boyan and Su Yi fought for military power and had a heated argument, which eventually led to a mutiny, and Boyan left in despair.

This time, many of the cavalry division's troops came from Senggelinqin's Horqin cavalry, accounting for about 60%.

A large number of the troops recommended by Wang Shiqing were surrendered Nian troops.

The two sources of troops are completely at odds with each other.

You know, there are only about 7,000 cavalry people this time, but a full 12,000 people participated in the cavalry training.

Five thousand people will be eliminated.

Wang Shiqing and Seng Gelinqin began to compete desperately.

Whoever leaves more soldiers will have a greater say in the future imperial cavalry.

Therefore, both sides were training like crazy.

The situation in other armies is similar.

The regular army only admitted 24,000 people, but more than 30,000 people participated in training.

Of course the Han people at the bottom train hard.

For no other reason than for the generous salary, I have to stay.

For the banner people, it is a matter of fighting for their reputation to fight for the Eight Banners and leave a spark.

If they are eliminated and the Imperial Army is all Han and there are not many Eight Banners, then I am afraid that the Qing Dynasty will really perish.

The Han soldiers are strong-willed, but they come from poor backgrounds and have little training foundation.

Banner soldiers were originally selected elites from the 100,000 Eight Banners capital camps. They were relatively strong in physical fitness and had a good foundation, but they were not as willing to endure hardship as the Han soldiers.

These bannermen soldiers were originally worried that Su Yi would take the opportunity to suppress them, such as deducting food, being unfair in assessments, etc.

The result was completely fair and just.

Even after three months of training, the selection of junior officers was absolutely fair.

Seng Gelinqin, Jing Shou, and Ronglu were all present next to him, and they couldn't find any fault.

In addition, Lin Li's powerful forces will attack everywhere.

It caused an extremely huge response among the Han soldiers.

However, Lin Li set up a series of thresholds, and only the best, most loyal, and most fanatical people could enter the powerful society.

Countless Han soldiers flocked to him.

However, whether it is the Political Commissar Corps or the Great Power Congress, the progress of ideological work among the banner soldiers is still unsatisfactory.

Many bannermen soldiers, especially bannermen officers,

They have their own ideological system and are proud of it.

They are almost resistant to the ideological work of the powerful Congress and the political commissar group.

But for Su Yi, this is normal. These bannermen have always regarded themselves as the ruling class of this country and have an unparalleled sense of superiority.

It's really difficult to completely accept it.

However, according to regulations, all officers must complete their studies at the Imperial Army Academy.

There are nearly a thousand mid-level officers in the army of 30,000 to 40,000 people.

These people are basically Su Yi's students.

Including hundreds of bannermen officers, they had to come to class no matter what.

Otherwise, you will not be able to complete the exam and become an officer.

Whether it was political class or military class, Su Yi was enough to impress everyone.

Many of his courses seemed to open up a new world.

Many Bannermen officers learned about the Crimean War, the Napoleonic Wars, and even the American Civil War for the first time.

Moreover, these wars are not just talk on paper.

They all made giant sand tables and conducted deductions again and again.

Whether it is a bannerman officer or a Han officer, he needs to play either side in these battles.

It’s not just wars abroad.

There are also domestic wars.

Including the Battle of Baliqiao, which made Seng Gelinqin and Ronglu extremely humiliated.

There was also the Battle of the Old Summer Palace.

All are deduced on the sand table.

In Su Yi's class, it was all about military affairs, and there was no need to pay attention to stance.

Even the bannermen officers who had hatred in their hearts were all given to him.

........................

Dagukou Fort.

Ronglu and Seng Gelinqin smoked cigarettes.

"King Monk, how many of your Horqin cavalry are left in the end?"

Seng Gelinqin said: "Four thousand people."

Ronglu said: "In other words, there are only three thousand soldiers left among the troops brought by Wang Shiqing."

Seng Gelinqin said: "Fortunately, I have kept most of the fire in the most elite cavalry unit for the future."

"I originally thought that Su Yi would manipulate the assessment and eliminate a large number of us Horqin cavalry. Who knows that everything is fair and just. In the end, in the cavalry division, our Horqin cavalry accounted for more than half."

Ronglu said: "It's the same here. There are two infantry divisions with 24,000 people, and 11,000 people are bannermen, which is almost half."

Seng Gelinqin asked: "How many divisions will we train next year?"

Ronglu said: "I heard that 60,000 people will be trained next year."

Seng Gelinqin said: "The local eight banners will definitely be cut next. In the future, whether it is Mongolian cavalry or infantry divisions, we bannermen should be able to account for half of them if we work hard."

Ronglu said: "It's hard to say if we will expand the army in the future. There are a total of two to three hundred thousand Eight Banners soldiers, and at most we can only pick out two to thirty thousand, and the rest are just waste."

Seng Gelinqin said: "Two or thirty thousand is enough for the time being."

"How about Su Yiqiang's congress and political commissar group's recent ideological work on our bannermen and Mongolians?"

Ronglu said: "Very few, I don't seem to be forcing it."

Seng Gelinqin said: "Could it be that Su Yi is really public-minded and has no intention of winning people's hearts? He tried briefly, but gave up after encountering resistance, and did not push forward vigorously at all."

"What's the point of training his troops like this? If half of the soldiers don't obey him, it will only increase the power of the court."

"Before, the imperial court had no soldiers available and could not defeat him, so he took control of the capital and allowed him to massacre the Eight Banners soldiers."

"Now, according to this method of training, it is really possible to train a strong army. As a result, 10,000 to 20,000 strong Eight Banners soldiers were trained, and they were completely hostile to him. Wouldn't the imperial court have the power to overthrow him in the future?"

"Why is he doing this? Isn't he just making wedding clothes for the Eight Banners?"

"Are you really dedicated to serving your country?"

Ronglu's expression changed slightly and he said: "King Monk must be careful, Prime Minister Su now represents the Central Committee, and the Queen Mothers of the two palaces fully support him. Don't say anything that is not beneficial to the unity of the court."

........................

Lin Li was extremely anxious.

Among the more than 30,000 imperial troops, bannermen accounted for half.

But now, several months have passed, and there has been no progress in brainwashing and rehabilitating the bannermen.

How can this be good?

If this continues, if the banner men who are hostile to the commander-in-chief are trained into a strong army, wouldn't it be enough to endow the enemy?
The reason why the commander-in-chief was able to suppress the central government was because he had powerful military power. In the future, what would happen if those banner ministers had powerful military power?
However, these bannermen are extremely stubborn in their thinking.

Moreover, there is always someone secretly guiding and controlling them.

Therefore, the inexhaustible brainwashing work is still in a dilemma.

But the commander-in-chief kept saying, don't be anxious, don't come by force.

Find an opportunity.

But now time is passing day by day, and several months have passed.

This batch of army soldiers only trained for one year.

When the time comes, it will officially become an army.

Could it be that by then the fruit will be ripe and the fruits will be taken away by others? Then this powerful army of bannermen became the commander's enemy?

The commander said it was an opportunity, an opportunity.

Where exactly is it?

Lin Li is like this, his work ability is invincible, but his shortcoming of impatience is always there.

Do things to extremes.

But his enthusiasm for Su Yi's great cause far exceeded anyone else's.

It even felt more fanatical than Su Yi himself.

..............................

Here, Su Yi, Zuo Zongtang, and Wang Shiqing are also smoking.

"Commander, it's difficult..." Wang Shiqing said: "Although these Mongolian cavalry accept our training, they are completely obedient to Seng Gelinqin. If this continues, most of the cavalry division will belong to Seng Gelinqin in the future. ah."

Zuo Zongtang said: "Our infantry division is slightly better, but not much better. Su Xiang's massacre left too deep a hatred, so it is too difficult for these more than 10,000 bannermen to return home."

Wang Shiqing said: "Commander, we can't go on like this. If this continues, even if the training cycle ends and these people officially form an army, they will not be able to return home. By then... our enemy will become stronger."

Su Yi nodded and said, "So, we have to change the environment."

"I took the initiative to look for opportunities."

Then, Su Yi said: "Mr. Zuo, how is the Hunan Army doing?"

Zuo Zongtang said: "The collusion with some people in the capital has become even closer, and it is even quite ambiguous with Fa Ni."

Suddenly, Zuo Zongtang said: "Xiang Su, do you want to make a risky move?"

"Although this army only has more than 30,000 people, it concerns the entire country. When necessary, the risk is worth it."

Su Yi said: "Once the situation explodes, we will not be able to control it ourselves. If we are not careful, the world will be in real chaos and fall apart."

Zuo Zongtang said: "Isn't it done in London yet?"

Su Yi said: "Not yet. This is the most powerful empire in the world. It is impossible for us to take whatever we ask for."

Zuo Zongtang said: "The tone is not set in London, and the situation really cannot be chaotic."

“A single move can really affect the whole body.”

........................

Su Yi secretly met with Viscount Jurgen again.

Two people were smoking again.

Even Viscount Jurgen didn't care about his aristocratic image. He was completely unshaven and his hair was crazy.

Now his pirate army has been expanded to include ten thousand people.

There are hundreds of warships, and there are all kinds of people.

And this powerful pirate army is thousands of miles away in the open sea.

With just one order, they can attack Vladivostok.

However, the permission from London still did not come.

Su Yi said slowly: "Viscount Jurgen, the Russian army assembled in Heilongjiang has exceeded 15,000 people."

"I know, I know." Viscount Jurgen said.

Su Yi added: "It won't be long before the sea in Vladivostok will be frozen."

Viscount Jurgen said: "I...I know it too."

"Duke Su Yi, but... I have to wait for orders from London."

"Even if it's an army of pirates, then... those are still pirates of the British Empire."

"Even if there is no direct order from London, I must at least get tacit approval."

"You should know that if I send troops to attack Russia without the permission of the empire, it will bring huge diplomatic passiveness and even trigger a war."

"I really can't bear this responsibility, and I'm a patriot."

Su Yi didn't speak, but stepped forward and hugged her, saying, "I respect you."

Regarding Viscount Jurgen, Su Yi almost never offered money to buy him, nor did he offer any shares.

The man in front of him is different from Sir Bruce. He attaches great importance to honor and emotion, and is most averse to bribery for profit.

"But don't forget." Su Yi said: "You are not only a colonel of the British Empire, but also an admiral of our country in the future."

"This country, this sea area, is not your motherland, but it may be your utopia."

Su Yi continued: "I will no longer advise you, but... the Russians should soon issue a war ultimatum to us."

Then, Su Yi turned around and left.

Viscount Jurgen hesitated to speak, but in the end he did not speak.

Suddenly Su Yi came back, handed over a box and said, "I almost forgot, this is my birthday gift for you."

Viscount Jurgen was slightly shocked, but Su Yi had already left.

Viscount Jurgen opened the box.

All he saw was an exquisite pistol lying inside, which was still a revolver.

It's just that this one is inlaid with gold, and it has Viscount Jurgen's inscription on it.

There is also Su Yi's handwriting: To my brave and fearless admiral.

........................

A few days later!

Su Yi received a secret letter from the Intelligence Department.

General Zeng Tianyang is seriously ill. The secret meeting of the Hunan Army rebels against the top brass, and there is fear that something will happen in Tianjing.

Then, the intelligence officer quietly waited for Su Yi's order.

Tianjing is divided into two factions. Su Yi can exert a certain influence through brothers Lin Qirong and Hong Renda.

The other group is Chen Yucheng, Li Xiucheng and others.

Of course, there are also Shi Dakai, Hong Xiuquan and others who are uncontrollable.

But Su Yi still had the ability to nip any changes in Tianjing in the bud.

Next, Su Yi needs to make a decision.

Do you want to explode the situation now?
If it detonates, is it controllable?
The key is Viscount Jurgen. Will he eventually choose to attack without waiting for orders from London?

Su Yi's decision was very critical because it affected his entire body.

After a long while, Su Yi said slowly: "My order is, there is no order."

The intelligence officer was stunned.

Without orders, the situation is allowed to develop.

That's another way of detonating.

The intelligence officer said: "I repeat, the commander-in-chief's order is, there is no order."

Su Yi said: "Yes!"

"Yes!" the Intelligence Department official said, "I will report back to Director Hong as quickly as possible."

Su Yi still chose to detonate.

Because, if it doesn’t explode again.

The Russians are about to make a big move, and the extremely cunning Russians will choose to start military operations during the Vladivostok freeze period.

At that time, it would be even more unfavorable for Su Yi.

..............................

Half a month later!

A troop of cavalry quickly rushed into the military station.

Shouted loudly: "The Queen Mother of the two palaces has a purpose, the Queen Mother of the two palaces has a purpose!"

"Immediately follow Su Yi to the capital and go to the palace to have an audience without any delay. It's extremely urgent! It's extremely urgent!"
