I can't die

The life and death of Gou Li's country is already over, how can we avoid it because of blessings and misfortunes?

The more chaotic and dark the dynasty, the more famous ministers who served the country and the people and put state affairs as the first were born.Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, Li Hongzhang, Zhang Zhidong, Lin Zexu.Zai Chun watched all the ministers walk out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation in the dark night, for some reason, his heart was suddenly moved.It is precisely because of them that the Qing Dynasty can survive in this decay.

"Your Majesty, all the ministers are gone, go back and rest." Li Lianying took a bright yellow cloak and put it on Zai Chun.Zai Chun turned around, looked at Li Lianying who had been with him for many years, and remembered that this child had also grown up with him since childhood.

"Well, when I go back to rest, you should go to change shifts earlier, just ask Zhilan to guard it. Tomorrow, I will go to Zeng Lao's mansion again, pass the decree, and give Zeng Guofan the title of Taibao."

Because Jiao Youying is the emperor's teacher, he is already a grand teacher, and Zeng Guofan's hard work made him rank first rank. Moreover, the Qing Dynasty could not do without them.

Hearing this, Li Lianying bowed her head in response, and then summoned the young eunuchs to surround Zai Chun and go back to the palace to rest.

Let's talk about Zeng Guofan's side, Zeng Guofan withdrew from the palace, and hurried back to the mansion.The housekeeper came back when he saw the master, and hurriedly asked his servants to prepare for a bath and wait for Zeng Guofan to rest. Unexpectedly, Zeng Guofan waved his hand: "Don't be too busy, I'm leaving soon, go and tell my wife, there is something urgent in the court, I'm afraid there will be some days." Can't come back."

After finishing speaking, Zeng Guofan called his servants to exchange for a BMW, ordered a few guards, and rode towards the outside of the capital.

Since the case of the Eight Ministers, the capital city has been implementing a curfew policy, so Zeng Guofan and his group of people galloping on horseback in the night are very conspicuous.When everyone arrived at the gate of the city, the city guards could see their identities and Zeng Guofan's expression, so they knew that the matter was serious, so after seeing the imperial decree, they let them go without hesitation.Zeng Guofan went out of the city gate and first went to the infantry barracks in the capital to mobilize five thousand elite soldiers.

Arut Chongqi, as the admiral of the Nine Sects, saw that Zeng Guofan ordered troops overnight, and immediately sent the [-] foreign guns and Zeng Guofan, which was considered to be an army that had been weak in combat effectiveness, and headed towards Tianjin.

At the same time, Lin Ruzhou, a descendant of the Lin family, received an order from Zeng Guofan, and was busy all night writing a statement on the sudden change in Tianjin City, and then told his subordinates to quickly print [-] copies and send them to Tianjin City.

These things seemed to happen in just one day. After two days, all the people in Tianjin City felt a strong smell of sex.However, elite soldiers were stationed outside Tianjin City overnight, and the interrogation of entering and leaving Tianjin City became more and more stringent, not to mention entering Dagu Port, and even suspending all business entering and exiting Haikou.

"Come and see! Come and see! There is new news about Wanghai Tower time!"

"It turns out that Japanese pirates are doing everything! Come and see!"

Hundreds of teenagers, carrying newspapers, peddled the paper all the way in the city of Tianjin.Tianjin City is close to the capital city, and many people have heard of newspapers since then. They also heard that this sudden Tianjin newspaper reported on Wanghai Tower, and everyone had to buy one to see what happened.

"No reason!"

A man dressed as a scholar in the teahouse also bought a newspaper from the young newspaper seller at the entrance of the teahouse out of curiosity. After reading it for a few minutes, he couldn't help but slapped one on the tea table and shouted angrily. .

Seeing the scholar like this, the waiter in the teahouse thought that the service was not good, so he hurriedly stepped forward to apologize and smiled: "Old man Zhang Juren, what's the matter, why are you so angry?"

Hearing this, Zhang Juren snorted coldly, and put the newspaper in front of Xiao Er: "Look! I also wonder why the chaos in Tianjin City keeps happening one after another. It turns out that there are people behind the scenes. I, the Qing Dynasty and foreigners It has become a monkey trick in the hands of others!"

"Oh, this. The little one can't read. Why don't you read the newspaper if you are tired all the time?" Xiao Er was young, and although she knew it was inappropriate to ask a guest like this, she couldn't help being curious.

The other tea guests at the side heard Zhang Juren's movement, and couldn't help stretching their necks to ask what happened, and some of them were more familiar with Zhang Juren, so they couldn't help booing: "Master Zhang, read it! Let me read it too!" We vulgar people have increased their knowledge."

Zhang Juren was coaxed, and at the moment, he also deliberately showed off his ability as a scholar, so he declined a little, and then began to read the newspaper.But I heard that the newspaper had detailed records. From the beginning, the Japanese pirates took advantage of the orphan flu to die of illness, spread rumors, stirred up conflicts between China and foreign countries, and then the Japanese pirates assassinated Liu Zhixian in public. I have to believe it after reading it.

"Then why did the Japanese pirates do this?" Xiaoer asked curiously.Hearing this, Zhang Juren couldn't help but glared at him, and said angrily, "This Japanese bandit has been harassing me in the South China Sea Fujian since the previous dynasty. I have a long-cherished wish. Besides, my Qing Dynasty is now cooperating with foreigners to suppress them, and I haven't heard about the Ryukyu incident." Well?"

At the moment, Zhang Juren told the Japanese Japanese pirates forcibly occupying Ryukyu, a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty joined forces with foreigners to send troops to crusade, and planned to question Japan one by one.At this point, everyone suddenly realized: "It was for this purpose, to create a poisonous plan to sow discord."

Suddenly, after a short period of calm in the teahouse, the pot exploded again in an instant.Not only this teahouse, but also the entire streets and alleys of Tianjin City, after knowing the whole story of this incident, everyone felt that they had been fooled, and their anger was even greater. "A lesson!

This kind of excitement was even more intense than the previous demonstrations in Wanghailou. There was even a student who wrote a document to crusade against the "Japanese pirates". Sent to Tianjin magistrate.

After seeing the Wanmin Book, Liuzhi County in Tianjin hastened to receive the headed student representatives, promising to hand over the Wanmin Book to the imperial court, and even revealed that the imperial court has paid enough attention to this matter. Stationed outside the city is the army led by Zeng Guofan, Minister of the Ministry of War, to drive out the Japanese pirates in Tianjin.

This letter of Wanmin was handed over to Xia Changping by Liu Zhi County, and after a few days of blood, it reached the desk of Zaichun and Junji in one day.After everyone discussed, they also issued an edict: "Expel all the Japanese in the Qing Dynasty, and unilaterally reject the Japanese pirates' confession, reject all forms of peace talks, order the Ryukyu garrison, and pay attention to the Japanese pirates' local developments at any time."

For a time, the sentiment of foreign wars was unprecedentedly high, and naval battles were imminent.
