C572 Night Asking Maylor (1/2)
Of course, he knew what had happened to the palace changes. Furthermore, because of the education he had received from the Emperor, he did not feel any guilt towards the palace changes.
A trace of purity did not disappear. In his heart, he could kill the enemy, but he could not insult them, especially if the enemy was not an enemy but a relative who was in the same purple city as him.
The little Emperor knew that he couldn't disobey his mother, so the anger in his heart continued to accumulate until he heard the words' great principles' from the Hidden Fog Kid.
”Slut!” How dare you use this poison... Drag him out and kill him! Could the Huai Army block Xiao Letian? Is the Huai Army able to withstand an iron army that can expedition to Europa? ”
Ci Xi pulled Tongzhi's arm. The little emperor still did not stop with his scolding, and whenhe was angry, she raised his foot to kick Tongzhi. At this time, Hidden Fog Kid went all out, ”Your Majesty, listen to this servant speak frankly …” ”Now that Xiao Letian broke through the TIANJIN Wei, but did not continue west, and did not even stay at Tianjin, it means that he, Xiao Letian, does not have the strength or the guts to attack Beijing …”
”This is the capital of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the dragon vein of the citizens' hearts. Don't underestimate Xiao Letian, who is now the ruler of the Ryukyu, for he covets Beijing, even though he doesn't have that much of an appetite … ”Although the people are resentful towards the imperial government, the prestige of the imperial power is still there. The people's hearts haven't changed …”
”So Xiao Letian has to wait! What he is waiting for is just justice. Li Hongzhang said very clearly, if Xiao Letian found out that Xiao Letian returned with the news that he had won a fierce battle in Europe, it is very possible that this woman had secretly called for Xiao Letian to work for her. This is because in Beijing Belt, only Xiao Letian's army does not have anything to do with any factions.
”So this servant humbly requests the empress dowager to forget her grudges from before and negotiate with the Empress Dowager of the East! Isn't it just a separation of powers? Ci An knew when to advance and when to retreat, she should know what was the most important thing for a nation! As long as the negotiation is successful, the empress dowager should take away this servant's head to calm the anger of the people of the world! ”
The Hidden Fog Kid became anxious, ”Even if Ci An is determined to fight us, we do not need to be afraid, the Huai Army will win this battle!”
”On what basis? ”Just what makes you think you can …” Tongzhi asked fiercely.
”Because this servant came from Fu Sang, because this servant was born a ninja, because we have our own set of secret techniques of viewing the clouds in the daytime and the stars in the night, this servant will be able to predict the weather for the next ten days … Your Majesty! Majesty! Please believe in this servant. There will definitely be a heavy rain in Beijing Belt tomorrow, and this rain will last for around 10 days … ”
”Your Majesty, Your Majesty! ”Even the heavens are helping us …”
While they were talking, a gust of wind suddenly came from outside the hall. A few of the ventilated windows were slapped loudly, scaring the people inside the hall. They raised their heads and saw the leaves and dust being blown into the hall by the wind at any time.
At the same time, on the northwest side of Wuqing County City, west of the capital, there was a place called Little Meng Village. A brand-new camp stood on the south side of the road, in the middle of the camp was the flag of the Green Camp.
Countless people passed by and looked at the pitch black camp in fear. Although the soldiers at the entrance were weak, they were all filled with vigor and did not look like the Green Battalion.
This was where Li Hongzhang's temporary camp was, and also where he would fight to prevent Xiao Letian from advancing.
Midnight. The wind. Li Hongzhang looked at the flag outside the tent that was crackling, and he was extremely shocked at the technique of the Japanese woman's Qi Observing Technique.
”Awesome, there's such a talent even in this small country. She said it will rain?” Li Hongzhang said indifferently.
The people of the Central Plains would never understand what that troubled island nation of Japan was like: earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons, volcanic eruptions, and, of course, endless wars.
Earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions and other such disasters are unavoidable for humans. However, there is one type of climate that humans can judge from, and that is wind, frost, rain, and snow.
The experience gained from thousands of years of agricultural society was not only valuable but also complex. It could predict the weather and help the army to fight as well. What the Hidden Fog Kid was studying was a divine technique that could observe and deduce the future climate change from the sky. To put it bluntly, it was the gathering and purification of countless human experiences.
”Hm!” This woman is quite interesting. If the situation is as she expected, then it will rain down a war, then we Huai's soldiers would at least be stronger than this group of Northerners … The rain is also restraining the firearm. It seems like the odds of winning are two more points! ”
Li Hongzhang talked to himself for a while, then his gaze turned to a guest in the tent, a man with disheveled hair who was holding a bowl of noodles as he ate crazily.
”General Maylor, slow down, slow down … Here are the dishes we brought from Huaidi, try it... ” He did not expect that the general that Li Hongzhang was entertaining was Maylor who had retreated from Tanggu and that the Huai Army had plundered him from Wu Qing's official road.
”Thank you brother Shao Quan …” This brother is ashamed! ”I'm ashamed …” As Maylor spoke, he covered his face with his big bowl. It seemed that losing to one person in two matches was a little too embarrassing.
Li Hongzhang was not annoyed either. He continued to read the documents on the table, and only asked after Maylor had put down the bowl and used a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, ”Can General Maylor tell me the details of this battle, and describe to me just how powerful these new troops are? ”You know, it's very likely that we're going to start a war with them as well …”
