Chapter 344 The winding path leads to the secluded (5)
Zaiyuan didn't say anything. However, judging from the expression on his face, he seemed to have a deep understanding of Lin Haifeng's subsequent words.
Zaiyuan couldn't help but admit that the other party was very profound in looking at the problem. He couldn't help but admire the other party. When they were isolated from each other, the other party could control the Qing Dynasty where they were in such a thorough understanding. Only by knowing yourself and knowing others can you win a hundred battles. On the other hand, there are many "big-star figures" like Du Han, Li Hongzhang and others who are promising, or claiming to have the power to turn the world. Why are they all confused and chaotic to their opponents? They can almost be said to be ignorant?
Zaiyuan's feelings were not blind. In less than a month, all the leaders of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom he met were well-known whenever the Qing Dynasty mentioned the matter. However, in comparison, he and his colleagues were no longer a simple matter of dwarfing. Starting from the Jintian Camp of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, they fought all the way until they established the capital of Jinling, and then went west to seize half of the country in the east. In the middle, their Qing Dynasty had little understanding of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
It's pitiful, and even knows little about who is the top of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom that has become bigger. I won't say much about it. If it weren't for the publication of the new Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's highest level, namely the Supreme Revolutionary Command Committee of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, if it weren't for the publication of many things to the outside world, especially the "powers", then even if he was sitting opposite Lin Haifeng now, he wouldn't have connected Director Lin in front of him with King An, the commander of the Eastern Expedition.
Zai Yuan was thinking that since he could not defeat him, he could not afford to offend foreigners. Even if he thought that Daoguang, who had never believed in evil, had to bow down and promise to "five-person trade", he had to compensate him for silver books, and he had to turn a blind eye to the opium trade again and close his eyes. So, what about now? Faced with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom that even foreigners could not afford to offend, Cixi's fox book always wanted to hold her waist and serve as a big-tailed eagle. Wouldn't he really want to kick the old and young Manchu into the fire pit? Alas, since he is not as good as a human being, what can he do not pretend to be Sun Shu?
Over the years, the "diplomatic" technique, which was like a pug, has been like a pure and pure in the early morning. Even if Zaiyuan continues to follow the path of his predecessors, it is no wonder Zaiyuan.
"Your Excellency," Zaiyuan's mind was determined, and his IQ was much higher. "What you said was indeed in the book of Gen. Not long ago, our King of Political Consultative Affairs also wrote me secretly, and I was very moved by the terms of the dynasty's invitation to King of Political Consultative Affairs and the dynasty. In fact, King of Political Consultative Affairs also knew that wherever Russians go, morality was decayed and the people were miserable. Cixi's practice of attracting wolves into the house and harming the country and the people did make us powerful now. But it is precisely because of this that
Next, this peace talk is crucial to us. If peace talks can be successful, at least we can breathe a sigh of relief. Oh, don’t misunderstand this. What I said is definitely not that meaning. Success in peace talks can improve the prestige of the King of Political Consultatives in the court, prove that we chose this path very correctly, and can block the mouths of those who strongly opposed peace talks. Only in this way can we have the opportunity to slowly solve the Russian problems."
Zaiyuan said this, seeing that the other party did not seem to have any clear expression, he couldn't help but become anxious again, and he gritted his teeth in his heart, "Your Excellency, since ancient times, there is no day, and no one is the master, but there is always time..."
The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was tough and the Russians were troubled. Even in the peace talks delegation he brought, he wanted to be alone. In this case, Zaiyuan had some premonitions, and the peace talks might be hopeless. Now, he could only treat it as a dead horse. No matter what he does in the future, he would pass the lock in front of him first.
Lin Haifeng looked at Zai Yuan with longing and nodded sympathetically, "Yes, everyone has a difficult sutra to recite!"
"However, the matter decided by the Celestial Empire is not something I can change alone. Just like although I am the head of the northern camp, all the negotiation matters are handled by our Captain Hong, and my ideas can only be provided as reference. You may not be very clear about Captain Hong's background, right? Don't underestimate him, he is the brother of our Heavenly King. In your words, he is a royal relative." Lin Haifeng shook his head, with a very helpless sample book, "We all need peace. You have seen that although the peak of the Yellow River has resisted, there are still countless victims along the coast waiting to be resettled. For these, I have fought every day. If I really enter a state of war again, alas..."
Lin Haifeng took a few sips of cigarettes, and for a moment, then looked up at Zaiyuan, "But you are more dangerous than us. Now, I am a person who pays great attention to feelings. To put it bluntly, I invite Prince Gong, you, Duanhua and Senggelinqin to join the highest leadership of the Celestial Empire together. I repeatedly proposed to the Supreme Revolutionary Command Committee of the Celestial Empire. Let's close the door and say something in a good way. The Russians are extremely ambitions. If they are not prepared, I am afraid... In addition, there are Li Hongzhang and others. Do you know where Li Hongzhang is now?"
Zaiyuan did not answer. He felt that this was related to the fate of the Yellow River defense line and should not be disclosed to the other party.
"Haha, I guess you wouldn't have thought that he had left his post without permission and went to the capital secretly. As for what he was going to do, I think you wouldn't understand even if I didn't say it." Lin Haifeng chuckled softly, "Now, if you want to get out of the predicament, there is the only way..."
Zaiyuan stared at the other party with good eyes, looking forward to the following...
Walking out of Lin Haifeng's "official residence", a cool night breeze blows towards him. Zaiyuan raised his head and just saw a breath of fresh air. Somehow, his feet suddenly softened and almost rolled down the stone steps in front of the door.
"Be careful!" Lin Haifeng grabbed Zaiyuan in front of Han Muyue.
"Thank you!" Zaiyuan frowned in pain.
"Is it sprained ankle?" Lin Haifeng squatted down and wanted to read Zaiyuan's ankle.
"Oh, no... it's okay." Zaiyuan quickly stopped the other party. This is not suitable, this is definitely not suitable.
"Then..." Lin Haifeng looked at Zaiyuan in pain and turned his head to Han Muyue, "Go and bring my horse here, first send Mr. Zaiyuan to the medical team in the camp, and after dealing with the injuries, then send Mr. Zaiyuan back to the base."
"No, no," Zaiyuan shook his hand while shaking his hands, "Isn't the injury really bad."
"Oh, no matter how light it is, it's still a pain. You won't be able to take a look."
Lin Haifeng took the reins from Han Muyue's hand, watched Zaiyuan get up on the mount under Han Muyue's support, and then returned the reins to Han Muyue. Then, he bowed to Zaiyuan on the horse, "The body is capital, and it is impossible to neglect."
At this moment, Zai Yuan suddenly felt that the "mortal enemy" in front of him was actually so amiable and respectable.
Back in the inner room, Lin Haifeng sat at the table, thinking for a while in his mind, raised his hand and held a pen to write something. At this time, he saw Liu Xianghe looking at him with a strange smile.
"What are you laughing at?"
"It's time to fight a big battle again, right?" Liu Xianghe picked up a piece of letter and put it in front of Hu Ba.
"yes."
Liu Xianghe's smile gradually turned into a faint melancholy.
"What?" Lin Haifeng gently patted his wife's hand with a pen.
"I'm still thinking about Lai Hanying's letter in the afternoon," Liu Xianghe's clear big eyes closed slightly, "If we really deal with Ren Wu like that, aren't we afraid of arousing greater revenge from the Hui people in the future?"
"Do you know? After the Qing Dynasty captured Yangzhou, the beautiful Yangzhou city suddenly became a hell on earth, with no less than 800,000 soldiers and civilians tragically killed." Lin Haifeng put down his pen and stroked his wife's cold hand. "However, what is more unforgettable than hell is the scene where the people of Yangzhou are willing to be killed. It is hard to imagine that in the later Yangzhou city, as long as they meet a Manchu soldier on the streets and alleys, no matter how many Han people in front of him are, even dozens of them are there, no matter how many Han people are, in front of him, no matter how many, there are dozens of them.
The Qing soldiers would rush to the death of the people, and no one dared to move as soon as they blew the sword. The Qing soldiers would rush to the murder place he chose without any binding on those people. They would not, and no one dared to resist, or even no one dared to run away. After arriving at the execution ground, under the order of the Qing soldiers, all the people fell down, and they would bow their heads and snatch their necks and get knives, let them slaughter. Why do you think this is?"
"That's because the Manqing kills him..." Liu Xianghe murmured.
"Yes, I'm afraid of killing."
"Do we want to kill like this?"
