0662 Japanese Bandit
Empress Dowager Ci'an, as always, did not care about anything, did not want to, nor could she manage it. Politics was simple, but difficult, but it was as difficult as heaven. Cixi was a coincidence. When Emperor Xianfeng was the emperor, she helped to review memorials and contact the government, and was not born to manage politics. Please read the book Ww∮W∫.

Even so, Cixi was politically just because of her high talent, able to control people's hearts, and deeply understand people's hearts. This is all because of her shortcomings, she had no knowledge and had never left the door or seen any world. She entered the deep palace at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and she was even less clear about the outside world. Her little bit of understanding of the outside world comes from memorials and foreign newspapers.
The Huacui Evening News now has become a newspaper that Empress Dowager Cixi goes to read every day, because in addition to promoting the Huacui Party, the content is more objective and the information is the most timely. Although the Qing court prohibited the public sale of Huacui Evening News outside the concession, the Huacui Evening News is still the largest newspaper in China in this era.
According to Huacui Evening News, in many cases, it was even ten days and half a month earlier than the internal intelligence system of the Qing court, so that Cixi could know what was happening outside now.
Prince Gong Yixin took the lead in firing the first shot, and a large group of ministers who followed Prince Gong Yixin said and agreed.
Among them, Wen Xiang, Bao Jing and others said, "Yes, I agree with the prince's meaning. Fight Xuan Yuemeng first and fight the Chinese army first. This small China is the biggest concern of my Qing Dynasty! The Japanese are just a small country that cannot cause any big storms! And the China has occupied Guangdong. In my opinion, this China is more terrifying than the bandits at that time. The court should focus on China!"
The ministers nodded one after another.
This opinion is mainstream, and what Wen Xiang said makes sense. Please read the book WwΩWΩ.

Prince Gong Yixin was satisfied with this situation. This was the first time everyone's hearts were so aligned. He also realized that this was his own opportunity.
No matter what, Xuan Yuemeng's rise is related to the two empress dowagers, and they raised it. Now that Xuan Yuemeng's incident is a great opportunity for him to enhance his personal prestige. In fact, Prince Gong Yixin has been doing this during this period.
Not only among the court ministers, but also among the local officials, but even sent people to incite public opinion among the people, this is still very new for the officialdom of this era.
Without the cute CEO's time travel, Prince Gong Yixin could almost be regarded as the most visionary among the top Chinese leaders at this time.
It was the arrival of the cute president that disrupted all this.
Princess Jie frowned. She didn't like to hear such remarks, but no matter whether it was an occasion or not, she wouldn't just talk to Xuan Yuemeng. In Princess Jie actually felt that it was not advisable to deal with Xuan Yuemeng first, because China had already established a firm foothold. According to the current intention, the Qing court should quickly stabilize the situation, promote and win over the hearts of the people. The hearts of the people are the biggest support of the court, because Xuan Yuemeng is not only in the whole country, but even in Guangdong, which has just occupied, its hearts of the people cannot be compared with the court.
Empress Dowager Cixi whispered to Empress Dowager Ci'an beside her, "Sister, do you have any opinions?"
Empress Dowager Ci'an asked in surprise: "My sister is just making the decision. You know I have never been very concerned about the affairs of the court."
Empress Dowager Cixi sighed softly, "But today, this matter is too big, and I am very confused. Please read the book Ww∮WΩ.∮QingKanShu.cC”
Empress Dowager Ci'an patted Cixi's back of her hand, "I know my sister can definitely come up with a solution. I will support her whatever she wants. Are you still reluctant to leave Yue Meng?"
Cixi smiled bitterly. She and Ci'an were talking softly, but there was no hearing outside. Cixi laughed secretly that Ci'an was a woman's opinion. When has it been? This is a war between countries. I didn't expect Ci'an to think that she had personal feelings and was indifferent to Xuan Yuemeng's attitude.
Everyone was talking, and Empress Dowager Cixi didn't wait for Ci'an anymore. She knew that she would not come up with any ideas and looked at Li Hongzhang. Li Hongzhang's meaning was the most important of this, "Li Hongzhang, tell me."
Li Hongzhang looked up at the curtains and sighed softly. The empress dowager finally called him. In fact, Li Hongzhang's thoughts were like Princess Jie, and Li Hongzhang could also look at the problem objectively.
The appearance of Xuan Yuemeng at most had exploded the root of the decline of the Qing court early, but this root was not burned by Xuan Yuemeng. It had exploded during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which was a sign that the root was still in the court.
Li Hongzhang felt that as long as the Westernization reform was accelerated and the rectification of officials was accelerated, as long as the court was stable, no matter how many enemies there were outside, no matter how big they were, there were actually no need to panic.
Li Hongzhang is a very outstanding politician, but his eyes are not far-reaching. At least, he did not think about reforming and learning from the Japanese to be self-reliant like the West. He did not see the root of it!
"When I go back to the two empress dowagers, I have no idea. These two enemies are both great troubles to our Qing Dynasty. If I have to say that, I think that the two should fight together, regardless of order." Li Hongzhang was scheming, and saying this actually means that he is already inconsistent with Prince Gong Yixin's argument.
Prince Gong Yixin looked at Li Hongzhang in shock. Although it was within Yixin's expectations that Li Hongzhang would say this, he felt that there was a layer of obstacle between Li Hongzhang and himself. In the past, Li Hongzhang was centered on him. Now it seems that Li Hongzhang does everything he is centered on Cixi.
Cixi also heard what Li Hongzhang meant. In fact, Cixi thought that the Japanese should be driven out first, because the Japanese were foreign forces after all, Xuan Yuemeng, as a whole, Xuan Yuemeng collapsed, and the places occupied by Xuan Yuemeng would return to the hands of the Qing Dynasty. This is the same as the long hair of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The Japanese were foreign forces. Even if the imperial army defeated the Japanese, they might not be able to take back the land occupied by the Japanese.
These once seized land will become controversial in the future!
Therefore, Cixi also believed that the Japanese should be attacked first, but such words cannot be said.
Except for a few clear-headed people such as Li Hongzhang, the arguments of the Qing court officials this time are highly consistent!
The whole family was very consistent, and they all believed that they should first attack Xuan Yuemeng. Xuan Yuemeng was an irreconcilable enemy of the Qing Dynasty. It seemed that the more powerful the scolding Xuan Yuemeng was, the more loyal he was to the Qing Dynasty.
Cursing Xuan Yuemeng became a new way for the Qing court to express loyalty to the court, and it was very fashionable.
Zhilin, Jingduo and Xuan Yuemeng had deep hatred and ministers, and even made it clear that they would put Xuan Yuemeng's paper-making people at the door of their house. Passers-by could spit and nail them!
The Qing Dynasty did not come up with any action strategy, but launched a vigorous campaign against Xuan Yuemeng. The cute president suddenly changed from a prodigy to a demon child. It can be said that everyone in the Qing Dynasty was punished!
Li Hongzaowei's stubborn Qingliu ministers, and a large group of power in the Qing court, Prince Gong Yixinwei, all agreed to attack Xuan Yuemeng first and then the Japanese.
Empress Dowager Cixi frowned, "It's apart, I'll discuss it tomorrow."
After talking about this, the Qing court was like a big forum. There were many people talking about it and few people doing practical things. Local officials were basically in a state of being in charge of their own affairs.
Apart from the intensification of the movement to curse Xuan Yuemeng, the internal affairs and diplomacy of the Qing Dynasty did not take any action.
This trend also had a great impact on China's rule in Guangdong. The foundation of Guangdong was still very unstable. A large number of scholars fled Guangdong to show their loyalty to the court.
However, after the Chinese government took over, the people in Guangdong felt stable and humane, and not many people left.
However, scholars are the essence of society, and scholars have all escaped, which has also made China's exhibition in Guangdong slower.
The Japanese were waiting for the Qing court to come to discuss peace with them, so they proposed to officially become the leader of Ryukyu, formally take Ryukyu from the Qing court, and also proposed to compensate them for the losses of this attack on Taiwan. As for the robbers, this is just a little trick.
