In the Indian Ocean, the three European coalition forces were wiped out, and ten main battleships in the Beiyang withstood the twelve main battleships in Britain, France and Germany.

The power of two 10,000-ton armored ships emerged. They attacked the troop transport ships escorted by the main battleships of the three European countries and the cruisers escorted by the ships. Among them, 30,000 British troops, 50,000 French troops, and 35,000 German troops were all sunk in the Indian Ocean. The twelve main battleships of the Three Kingdoms that were defeated were sunk by artillery shells, most of which were torpedo boats that were launched from the torpedo boats that were killed by force.

During this period, the protection of the ironclad ships was quite good. Most of the ships in the Beiyang main fleet had only moderate damage. It was another good ship to be pulled back and repaired. This failure was also related to Europe's failure to replace the rapid-fire gun in time. The three countries are all major naval powers, and changing the rapid-fire gun is expensive.

For example, Britain took the French, German and Russian navies as imaginary enemies. Since the other three countries do not mean to replace rapid-fire guns, our strategic advantages can be maintained and we can not replace them for the time being. When the next-level main ship is launched, the cost must be considered. At this time, the technology is constantly changing, and the most advanced ships in the design period are already lagging behind when they are launched.

For the British Empire, it doesn’t matter if it is behind. It’s enough to scare the indigenous people in Africa and Asia. It’s not a waste. Anyway, the wooden warships in those places should be updated.

Of course, the biggest impact on Li Hongzhang is not the victory of the Indian Ocean. Foreigners can win battles when they are strong and cannons are powerful. We cannot defeat wars with strong and cannons.

The biggest impact on Li Hongzhang was the head of the Japanese Emperor Meiji. When did this guy still claim to be the god of the world? He was one level higher than the emperor of China.

When learning reaches the point of Lao Li, a fixed value has been formed. For example, Lao Li is the poisoned person of the Confucian theory of monarchy, ministers and ministers.

Lao Li looked at the head of the god in the world and remembered a sentence from a founding emperor in history: "The emperor has strong soldiers and strong horses for it. His Beiyang is considered strong."

Before the Hongyang Rebellion, the governor of the bannerman occupied most of the generals in the world, and none of them were Han people. It turned out that they were not targeting someone, but that these people were all waste.

Then, Zeng Guofan, the Hunan Army leader, was born. The governor of the world was half out of his position. Li Hongzhang himself was also a student and aide of Zeng Guofan. At that time, the three combat troops in the world, the Hunan Army, the Chu Army, and the Huai Army, were all from the Hunan Army.

Although Xianfeng said during his lifetime that he would win Nanjing as the king, the stingy Cixi only gave his teacher a marquis.

In the end, the teacher was taken down because of the Tianjin lesson plan. However, at that time, the country was not as strong as the French, so he should learn the story of Goujian and endure humiliation to wait for the time when he swallowed Wu. This is not wrong.

The old witch Cixi wants to hire people and suppress them. It is also difficult for us to be ministers. Now in the battle against the Four-Nation Alliance, Beiyang recruits soldiers and horses. The innocent people in the court do not look at the achievements but regard me as Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao and Wang Mang.

The bannermen were not honest, and they were rumored that the Han people forced the Manchus to perish. It seems that they knew how many bad things their ancestors had done. After fighting for several months, they were all supporting them, and the court had no money. After Weng Tongxi died, Weng Tongxi changed to the head of the Manchu Shangshu Ronglu, and only said that he had no money. In the era of Weng Tongxi, the court could not say that he was rich during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, but he squeezed out 6.5 million taels of silver to buy a ship for Beiyang.

The group of people under his command were not at ease, and they were persuaded to enter the bill three times a month. This time, they received the heads of Japanese Emperor Meiji and Prime Minister Hiroshi Ito, which confirmed the achievements of destroying the Japanese. I am afraid they will be persuaded to enter again.

But the problem arises. Even if he does not oppose the court, the court can still tolerate himself. The petty woman in Cixi blocked the Beiyang Shangbei Road and defeated the Russians, went to the Southeast Ocean to annex countless colonies and defeated the Three Kingdoms coalition forces in the Indian Ocean for a week.

But, there is no response yet. Such a big thing is so heavy?

I'm afraid I'm thinking about how to deal with myself.

Haha, this is the court, the court. Yes, this is the court of the Qing Dynasty and the Eight Banners. It cannot tolerate me, a Han man, to be a big man. No wonder the teacher chose to retreat bravely. I want to retreat now, but I don’t want to die.

After ending the burden in his heart, Lao Li left the study room and arrived at the hall, and saw a group of people kneeling down and persuading them. In theory, it is normal to make such a thing as saying three words and three words. Just like combing a young man's hair, he always has to be hesitant to finish the program. In fact, it is a professional player, and he is influenced by him every day, and this is not the case.

"Everyone is up. I don't want to make any decisions and three reluctances. Who has read Xu Jishe's book? Tell me about Washington."

Zhang Peilun: "Washington is a strange man. He was brave enough to win the vastness of his work and ruled the mighty people in Cao and Liu. Since he had already raised a three-foot sword and opened a thousand miles of territory, he did not usurp the throne or pass on his descendants. He created a method of recommendation, which was almost the only way to be a public in the world, and he followed the legacy of the three generations. His governance of the country and his favorable customs, and did not advocate martial arts, was also very different from other countries. I once saw his portraits, with a majestic and resolute appearance. Alas! How could it be called a great man? The United States of Militaria considered a country with a territory of tens of miles, without setting up a title of kings and princes, and did not follow the rules of the world. He gave it to the public opinion and created a situation that had not been seen in ancient and modern times. How could the ancient and modern figures not be called Washington!"

After the son-in-law finished speaking, Li Hongzhang said, "We should not be the Emperor Taizu of Song, Emperor Taizu of Ming. The Qing Dynasty inherited the Ming system, and the harm of the family and the whole world is not clear at the moment. We want to be Washington, and the world is the public. In ancient China, Yao and Shun also abdicated system. What's wrong with those who are capable of being mediocre. When the people's wisdom is great, even if someone wants to be a single husband, I am afraid that 450 million people will not agree."

"Who will die for 450 million people? Can he survive tomorrow? Okay, let's go down now. We have to wait until Qing Yao takes action first."

Since even the Qing Yao said the words, everyone was satisfied. As for some surrendered generals from the Taiping Army, they seemed to think that this word was a bit familiar.

A few days later, the court sent a telegram to recruit Li Hongzhang to Beijing for rewards.

After reading the telegram, Li Hongzhang said to himself: "The little boy and the old witch are not anxious?"

Before leaving, Li Hongzhang only said "Case A" to Zhang Peilun and then Zhang Peilun went to work hard.

The carriages were bumping all the way, and Li Hongzhang remembered the benefits of air crafts. It was impossible to have air crafts in the capital. A spy on Da'ui was a death sentence. The Russian church was built a little higher, and the palace could be seen from the inside was also forcibly demolished.

There are a lot of big guards at the gate of the palace today. Li Hongzhang got off the carriage and looked at it, and walked forward with his men.

Seeing Li Hongzhang coming, a beller opposite him took a volume of imperial edict and said, "Li Hongzhang, your affairs have been revealed, kneel down and receive the imperial edict."

Li Hongzhang cursed: "I am a hero of the Han people, why do you kneel on your slaves of the Eight Banners?"

Beile was so angry that he was half-dead and shouted: "Li Hongzhang planned to rebel, but his crime was unforgivable and he was arrested. Those who resisted were punished for nine clans."

Li Hongzhang took out two box cannons from the court uniform and shouted: "I'm waiting for today."

Then, Li Hongzhang and his twenty men, each holding a box cannon, ramming the big guards who were still playing with big swords and spears.

Just after the killing was completed, several huge airships in the sky landed inside and outside the palace city. Hundreds of Beiyang soldiers holding box cannons ran out from inside, each holding double guns, and they attacked when they saw the big guards.

Li Hongzhang had already brought people into the Great Inner place. When he saw Cixi and Guangxu who were sitting high above, he said, "Little boy, old witch, I have been tolerating you for a long time. Today I will send you two to the road."
