I can't die

He Bo was specifically asked by Bacharley to stay, and it was also tacitly approved by Liu Xiang and Zhang Zhidong.

Now the Japanese pirates in the waters near Ryukyu, the west, southeast and south have been wiped out, leaving only the north. Naturally, the Japanese pirates saw that the Great Qingshui Division did not attack the north, so they set up camp on the northern islands.Originally, according to the agreement with Great Britain, the north should also be handed over to the Qing Navy to destroy it, but Bacharley didn't know what to think after the inspection, so he deliberately left He Bo, intending to personally send British warships to wipe out the northern seas of Ryukyu.

If you think about it, you are also afraid that the Qing army will not vomit after eating, right?Liu Xiang and Zhang Zhidong also knew that Pachari's vigilance against the Qing Dynasty was different from usual. They were afraid that after the Qing Dynasty flattened the north of the Ryukyu, they would not want to spit out the territory according to the agreement, so they couldn't wait. Send troops and children to occupy.

"I guess the British have long held grudges against the Japanese pirates, right?" Zhang Zhidong couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth as he looked at the secret security guard who had been inquired by the spies under him.

The spies said in the secret letter: When the British warships came to Beidao, they would bombard them when they encountered Hong Kong, and kill people when they encountered them. The troops passed by, and no one survived.

The British were also ruthless and did not give the Japanese pirates a chance to breathe. The army occupied the North Island with crushing artillery fire in an instant. In response to the massacre of the Japanese, they signed a letter to the Japanese shogunate even more excitedly, asking them to unite all forces in the country to defeat foreign invaders.

"Down with foreign invaders?"

When Zai Chun heard Liu Xiang's secret letter from the sticky pole in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he laughed aloud: "It's really a turn of wind and water, they also have today?"

Ci Xi looked at Zai Chun and laughed heartily. She couldn't help but also took a look at the secret letter, and then she also smiled happily: "The emperor can be regarded as the emperor who expanded the territory."

"Isn't it? If we sisters are like this, we can be regarded as able to face the entrustment of the former emperor."

Cixi and Ci'an immediately looked at each other, looking at the young man who was already half the height of a person in front of him, she couldn't help sighing, in a blink of an eye, it will be almost five years since the death of the first emperor, and in six years, the emperor will get married, and then he will be completely in charge At that time, it was also time for the Empress Dowagers of the Two Palaces to return to power.

Speaking of returning to the government, Cixi Ci'an was also a little bit reluctant after all. After all, who would be willing to let go of the taste of power after all?Besides, although Zai Chun was filial on the surface, in the end he prepared many precautions against the two in private, which was not something that ordinary young emperors could control.

Why.Forget it, after all, he was seen growing up in front of his eyes since he was a child. After many years of affection, the emperor would know how to be filial.

"Your Majesty, is this concubine coming back soon?"

Ci'an suddenly asked.

"Next month." Zai Chun heard the words, calculated the date, and said immediately.Now that the war in Ryukyu has almost settled down, Liu Xiang has to go back to China to take care of it because Liu's family needs to open an ironworks.I think that Zhang Zhidong alone can take care of Ryukyu's post-war military establishment work.

"Alright, Rongshou's wedding was only a day old, and you sent the eunuch out. Although it's a business trip, I'm sorry for your eldest sister. When he comes back, you have to make up for it."

"Naturally." Liu Xiang made great contributions in pacifying the Northwest, and now he is opening up the East China Sea. After returning to Beijing, he must be promoted to rank, and a third-rank military officer is indispensable.

"What about Prince Gong? What about the emperor?" Ci'an asked again.

Prince Gong is Liu Xiang's old father-in-law, and now that the Princess Mansion is in disrepute, it is inevitable that Prince Gong will regain some power.If the Liu family raised Prince Gong's mansion to Zai Chun in this way, it is inevitable that Zai Chun would raise Prince Gong's mansion again for Rongshou's sake.

"Uncle Yuan Huang has made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty, and the Military Aircraft Department is also indispensable to him, so let him resume his position as the Chief Minister of the Military Aircraft Department."

In fact, Zaichun didn't grit his teeth as hard as Cixi for Prince Gong, and besides, none of the ministers next to the military aircraft department could hold back Prince Gong as much.

"That's fine, the emperor has a lot of troubles in his heart, and we can be relieved as mothers." Cixi heard the words of Ci'an and Zai Chun from the side, and knew that Prince Gong's rebellion could not be stopped, so she had no choice but to give up. Zai Chun didn't resume Prince Gong's intention of discussing politics, but felt more at ease, feeling that all his previous efforts were not all in vain.

In any case, the power of Prince Gong is indeed not as good as before. When Cixi Zaichun was dismissed from his post in the Military Aircraft Department, he took the opportunity to install a lot of people in the six ministries. Fresh blood, even if these people's current official positions are not very high, after a few years, they can become a lot of help.

Zai Chun knows this, Ci Xi knows it, and Prince Gong Yi knows it even more.But this is also impossible.

Now that Zai Chun is getting older, the atmosphere in the court has also begun to change. Many officials, even those who were once under Prince Gong's sect, have begun to move closer to Zai Chun's subordinates intentionally or unintentionally. Coupled with Jiao Youying's recovery, The first rank of the official residence, the Eight Ministers Party, which was once suppressed by Prince Gong and Cixi, is now beginning to rise.

"By the way, Your Majesty, Your Majesty has something else to tell you."

"Emperor Niang, it's okay to say."

"I heard that the emperor plans to open the sea market?"

"Naturally." Kaihai City was originally one of the main reasons why Zai Chun captured Ryukyu, but now Zai Chun is doing things in a secret way, and the news from the Ministry of War and the sticky pole is tightly covered, so Cixi Ci'an only recently got the news.

When Cixi Ci'an heard the words, she couldn't help but sighed: "The emperor is impatient."

"What?" Zai Chun was puzzled.

"Yesterday, I received a report from Seng Gelinqin in Tianjin. Something happened in Tianjin." Although Seng Gelinqin was under the control of the Ministry of War, he was also considered to be Cixi's because of his unclear nepotism with Cixi.

Zai Chun immediately took the memorial and read it.

However, it is written in the memorial that: a catastrophe occurred in Tianjin City, rioters burned churches, killed many French consuls and foreign priests, and the court is requested to make a quick ruling.

Seeing this, Zai Chun's eyes dimmed, how could this happen?

But I heard Cixi continue to say: "It is good for the emperor to want to cooperate with foreigners to open the sea market, but the domestic public opinion has to be taken into account. My Qing dynasty is often bullied by foreigners. If we want to cooperate with foreigners, there are many things besides military strength. It’s also something to consider.”

Most of the people in the Qing Dynasty didn't have many incidents. Many people had deep-rooted prejudice against foreigners, but they didn't expect it to pop up at this juncture.

Just, how could it be such a coincidence?

Zai Chun couldn't help wondering.Just in time for the Qing Dynasty and Great Britain to be in the honeymoon period, when they were planning to cooperate, could it be that someone secretly promoted it?
