Chapter 144 The Eyes of the Empress Dowager
In Yuan Shikai's mind, the new army in the small station is not the new army of the Qing Dynasty! He wants to turn the new army into his own private army!
In fact, Zhou Charter is not surprised by Yuan Shikai's intentions, and even agrees with it.
Zhou Charter himself did not regard Zhang Jun as the army of the Qing Dynasty. Really far-sighted people are unwilling to hand over the army in their hands to the court. Once the best army is in the hands of the court, it will become a bunch of waste!
In those years, Zeng Guofan's Xiang army was brave and good at fighting. After the destruction of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Zeng Guofan was afraid that the court would doubt him and handed over the Xiang army to the court. As a result, the Xiang army, which was merged into the imperial court, became a new eight-flaged soldier in just a few years.
Zhou Charter said slowly, "Lord Yuan wants to discard Zhang Jun and retreat completely!"
"Yes, everything can start all over again."
"Thank you, Lord Yuan, for your kindness." Zhou Charter said, "However, they can't abandon the brothers of Zhangjun. They followed me, went through all kinds of difficulties and dangers, and fought all the way from Chenghuan to Yizhou. Many of them stayed in North Korea forever. If my Zhou Charter is gone, how can I stand up to those dead brothers! Lord Yuan is also an righteous person, and he must be able to understand the inferior position.
"Zhou Zongbing, don't talk so much. You can think about it again."
Zhou Charter laughed and said, "I very much agree with Lord Yuan's opinion that the army of the Qing Dynasty is a burden for the country!" However, Zhang Jun is an exception! This army went from Chenghuan to Yizhou and experienced big and small battles, but they did not lose face for the country. In fact, Zhang Jun is a new army! Lord Yuan is training the new army in the small station, and I am training the new army in North Korea!"
Yuan Shikai was stunned and then laughed: "It seems that Zhou Zongbing and Yuan are indeed seen by heroes!"
Yuan Shikai also heard that Zhou Charter's idea was the same as his.
Yuan Shikai wants to turn the future small station new army into his own private army, and Zhou Charter also regards Zhang Jun as his own army.
A person can never abandon his army, even if this army is in a desperate situation.
Zhou Charter stood up and said, "With Lord Yuan's vision, he will be able to train a real modern army at a small station!" I wish Lord Yuan success in the training of the new army in the small station!"
Yuan Shikai also stood up and smiled, "The new army in the small station is still a painting cake, but Zhang Jun of Zhou Zongbing has taken the lead! With Zhou's brave strategy, Zhang Jun will be able to turn evil into good luck. Maybe one day, Yuan's new army and Zhou's Zhang's army may be high!"
Zhou Charter was stunned and then laughed: "Lord Yuan is in a small station, in North Korea, and practices military martial arts. The two new armies are loyal to the country and can also exchange experiences."
"Yes, yes, communicate with each other!" Yuan Shikai stretched out his hand and held it tightly with Zhou Charter.
This grip, both sides are competing!
Both sides know that in the future, the two new Chinese forces are likely to be higher than each other! As for how to compare, no one dares to predict.
Under the rivers of the Qing Dynasty, the highly centralized Central Dynasty has shown signs of disintegration.
There will always be a day when you have to rely on your strength to survive!
One one two,
Zhou Charter was about to get up and leave. Yuan Shikai whispered, "Yuan was ordered to act and should not have said much, but Yuan and Zhou Zongbing cherished each other. Yuan had to tell each other directly about one thing."
"Lord Yuan, please speak."
Yuan Shikai came to Zhou Charter's ear and said, "The Empress Dowager's decree is quite strange."
Zhou Charter was stunned and hurriedly asked, "Lord Yuan, please make it clear."
"The emperor intended to make you the general soldier of Yizhou, but the Empress Dowager Buddha meant the opposite. She wants to remove you from office!"
"Why? I haven't offended the Empress Dowager?" Zhou Charter was shocked.
Yuan Shikai sighed: "Of course you have not offended the empress dowager, but the emperor has offended the empress dowager!" If the emperor wants to add you, the Empress Dowager will kill you! Their mother and son were at peace, and their ministers suffered. Moreover, the hot-tempered Minxiu Gege also said a lot about you from the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager fought a fairy war with the emperor, and Zhou Charter was also understandable. He Gemin embroidery also fanned the flames in it, and Zhou Charter was not angry.
Minxiu is too much. At this time, he still held Zhou Charter and didn't let go. Isn't it just watching her take a shower? Did you lose a hair? It's going to kill people! Moreover, Zhou Charter kept his promise and never disclosed this to others! Her reputation is not damaged at all.
The Zhou Charter came from the 21st century, and the experience of the word integrity is far from that of the 19th century. In the 21st century, integrity fell and no one picked it up. In the 19th century, in the Qing Dynasty, a girl was seen by her body and her integrity collapsed. A girl without integrity has only two ways to go, either marrying this disciple or killing this disciple! Either love or hate, there is no middle way to go!
Minxiu is noble and strong, how can Jinzhi Yuye marry amangfu Zhou Charter! Therefore, there is only one way left - kill him!
Zhou Charter suppressed his anger and asked, "Lord Yuan, why did the Empress Dowager change her mind again?"
"Here's the problem!" Yuan Shikai said, "It is said that the Empress Dowager was about to decide to remove you from your post when a mysterious figure suddenly appeared in the garden. After meeting this person, the Empress Dowager changed her mind. Well, Yi's decree is full of praise for you. The Empress Dowager wants you to know that she is the one who promoted you, not the emperor!"
"Who is that person?" Zhou Charter became nervous.
"I don't know, it is said that he came back from North Korea. Zhou Zongbing, this person must have said your kind words in front of the Empress Dowager. The person who can speak in front of the Empress Dowager is very small. It is said that he is from the thirteen government! Yuan reminds you that it is very likely that there are the eyes of the Empress Dowager in your Zhangjun! This person can fulfill you in front of the Empress Dowager, and he can also destroy you! You have to be careful!"
Zhou Charter felt that his back was cold. Zhang Jun was a hodgepodge. There were all kinds of people in it, not most people. Zhou Charter did not know their details, and it was possible that there would be empress dowager.
If this is the case, as Yuan Shikai said, he can complete the Zhou Charter and destroy the Zhou Charter.
"Thank you, Lord Yuan, for reminding me." Zhou Charter said and took out the roster from his pocket: "This is Zhang Jun's list of meritorious personnel. The humble position has drafted the reward grade according to Lord Yuan's intention, and asked Lord Yuan to transfer it to the court. I am grateful for his humble position."
"This is Yuan's duty, just to say." Yuan Shikai took the roster, glanced at it, and said, "Is this Ha Wu really a relative of the Qing Dynasty?"
Zhou Charter laughed and said, "How can that uncle Tianhuang noble lie?"
"Yuan suddenly," Yuan Shikai frowned and said, "How can a Qing clan be willing to bend down, Zhou Zongbing, is this person..." Yuan Shikai stared at Zhou Charter, which was meaningful.
Zhou Charter Yilin, Yuan Shikai means, then Ha Wu is the eyes of the Empress Dowager!
"No way," Zhou Charter shook his head: "That uncle is honest, not a treacherous and cunning person."
"Yuan is just saying it," Yuan Shikai smiled and said, "In a word, Mr. Zhou is good at it."
"Thank you, Lord Yuan, goodbye."
"Please."
......
Zhou Charter took Yao Xi and Naha Wu out of Yuan Shikai's residence and went to the county government.
It has been almost four days. In the houses on both sides of the street, every household closed the doors and turned off the lights, and the hazy moonlight sprinkled on the narrow and rugged streets and alleys.
In the private house, there are occasional whispers or two, and occasionally there are children crying, but they soon calm down.
Under the protection of Zhang Jun, the people of Yizhou dreamed peacefully.
However, Zhou Charter's heart is full of uneasiness.
In the distance, southeast, hundreds of kilometers away from Pyongyang, the first Japanese army armed with teeth may break the quiet night of Yizhou City at any time.
In Yizhou, inside Zhang Jun, there is a pair of empress dowager's eyes, staring at Zhou Charter all the time.
Zhou Charter knows nothing about that person. The only thing he knows is that so far, that person has not done bad to him, and even has kindness to him.
However, as the saying goes, success is also Xiaohe. That person can bring him glory and wealth, and can also bring him into the abyss.
Then Ha Wu yawned: "Master, you don't seem to look happy. What did Lord Yuan say?"
Zhou Charter glanced at Ha Wu and said, "It's nothing. Lord Yuan comforted Zhang Jun on behalf of the Empress Dowager Buddha..."
"Bah!" Nahawu scolded, "It's about that old woman's business. The military affairs are a man's business and the emperor's business. The old woman enjoys happiness at home, and she also cares about the east and the west. She really doesn't follow the woman's way!"
Yao Xi said hurriedly, "Then Ha Wu, be careful what you say. Don't be afraid of losing your head. Don't involve our big brother.
Empress Dowager Cixi seems to be powerful when listening to the government. However, in this country with 3,000 years of Confucian cultural tradition, her legitimacy has always been questioned by the people.
Zhou Charter said, "That uncle..."
"Master, don't call me that. You just call me Ha Wu. If you call me son of a bitch, it sounds better than this!" Ha Wu said with a bitter face.
"Why?"
"Teacher, tell you from the bottom of your heart, which bastard wants to be an uncle." Na Mayi's face was innocent: "When I became the emperor's uncle, the eyes of these brothers have fucking changed, and they all regard me as an outsider. The conscience of heaven and earth, my Ha Wu has followed you from the Yalu River. You are the elders of our Zhangjun. You won't drive me out of Zhangjun, will you?"
