In winter, it got dark very quickly, and after Rong Lu discussed some details with the people of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs one by one, he entered Qiao Zhiqing's study under the leadership of his own soldiers.With his identity, it is not his turn to discuss anything with Qiao Zhiqing on the surface, and everything will be handled by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.Qiao Zhiqing called him to the study and talked to him about something substantial.He drove the Manchus to cold Siberia, and his anger against this nation had long since ceased to exist.Where they came from, now the truth is clear, and they are back there."
The president is courteous" After Rong Lu entered Qiao Zhiqing's study, he was still surprised by Qiao Zhiqing's living environment.In his heart, Qiao Zhiqing has become the king of all nations.He also has seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six courtyards, but he didn't expect him to live in such a house, to be honest, it is not as luxurious as his mansion in Siberia."
Sit down and talk, I don't have as many rules as your Qing court here" Qiao Zhiqing pointed to the guest seat and motioned for Rong Lu to sit down and speak.Rong Lu knew that Qiao Zhiqing was mocking them, smiled awkwardly, and acquiesced to the matter, and sat down on the guest seat with a red face.After a while, Yan Zhili came in from outside the door and poured a cup of hot tea for each of them.After going out, I carefully closed the door."
Your Excellency, I won't give in to you.On behalf of the Manchukuo Imperial Court, I am here to ask you for all arms and material assistance.I don't know if you have received the latest news about the Russian army, their large army is changing frequently, and it seems that they are gathering in the Far East.We Manchus and Hans have been together for so many years, how can we say that we Manchus are also part of the Chinese nation.So I beg the president to look at this face, and sponsor us a little, so that we can have the strength to fight against the Russian devils" Rong Lu knew Qiao Zhiqing's temperament, and went directly to the topic and asked Qiao Zhiqing for help."
Is your little emperor of Tongzhi now in power" Qiao Zhiqing looked at Rong Lu and smiled slightly, and did not answer the question directly, but asked about the little emperor.He calculated the time in his heart, and Emperor Tongzhi should be fourteen years old this year.In his time and space, Emperor Tongzhi was seventeen years old and pro-government, and I don't know if there will be any changes in this time and space."
If you go back to the president, you don't dare to deceive the president.Now everything in the imperial court is still decided by the Empress Dowager Cixi.The queen mother is going to hold a big wedding for the emperor when he is seventeen years old, and return the power to his hands" Rong Lu replied honestly, now in the court, Prince Wen has Gong, Wu has him in charge, and Cixi still holds the power in the middle.Qiao Zhiqing smiled, some things still follow the trajectory of history, and they haven't changed much."
Brother Ronglu, judging from the current situation, do you feel that your regime still has a future" Qiao Zhiqing's face suddenly returned to coldness, and his eyes were sharp and only stared at Rong Lu.Rong Lu was stunned, he didn't expect Qiao Zhiqing, who was approachable just now, to suddenly change his face, and after hearing this, a cold sweat broke out on his back."
President, we Manchus have realized our mistakes.We are willing to coexist peacefully with the Han people, and I hope that President Wanwang will not give up on us" Rong Lu jumped up almost from the guest seat, and puffed down with Qiao Zhiqing."
God help yourself, I will help you again.If you insist on the current form of government, it will be a matter of time before this regime falls.Speaking of which, you Manchus are really prosperous and declining, but I didn't expect that after going north, the power is still in the hands of Cixi" Qiao Zhiqing sneered, and he had already guessed in his heart that there was still a constant struggle for power within their aristocracy, and those in power were greedy for enjoyment.If it goes on like this, this court will eventually be dragged down by these nobles, and foreign enemies will be taken advantage of in vain.If these do not change, all his support for the Manchus will also be a waste of effort."
President, the change of this regime is not a matter of one or two days.The main problem now is to resist the attack of the Russian devils, as long as you stand firm, you must write to the Empress Dowager to reform the government, "Rong Lu can't care about any face at this time, if you can't ask for reinforcements from the Huaxing Army this time, then the demise of the Manchus is a sure thing."
They formed a deep enmity with the Russian devils in Siberia, and almost bloodbathed the towns of the Russian devils in exchange for this foothold.If the Russian army arrived, it would surely wash their entire Manchu people in blood."
Alright, get up, I promise to help you.But today, I hope you will seriously think about whether or not the luck of the Manchus can be extended, and the key lies in whether you are willing to change.Of course, as for how to change, you have to slowly figure it out.You must remember, change may die, but change will definitely die" Qiao Zhiqing raised his hand, he also warned when he should have been warned, not wanting to scare this old friend out of his nerves.In the final analysis, Rong Lu is still a bit bold among the Manchus.But he was also reluctant to Cixi in his heart, and still refused to change, and the Manchus would definitely have no future."
Thank you, President, I will always keep in mind today's words, and I will definitely live up to the President's expectations" Rong Lu heard that things were still turning around, and he quickly kowtowed before sitting up."
I know that you have a shaky foothold in Siberia, so I have someone to prepare a big gift for you.In addition to the supplies supported in previous years, there are 300,000 breech rifles sent to you this time, these weapons are not good for the elite Russian army, but they are more than enough to deal with those Cossack cavalry and local troops" Qiao Zhiqing smiled again, and stretched out his hand to hand Rong Lu a list.There are detailed arms and materials on it, and with this list in hand, he can send someone to the Heilongjiang Military Region to collect them."300,000" Rong Lu almost popped his eyes out when he heard this number.At present, there are only more than 1 million Manchus in total, and there are only about 300,000 young and middle-aged people who can fight.These 300,000 foreign guns can completely arm these young and middle-aged people.Such a large armed force, with his 100,000 breech-loading rifles, is enough to resist a large-scale Russian attack."
What's the matter, isn't it too little" Qiao Zhiqing chuckled, his eyes looked directly at Rong Lu, and a trace of coldness flashed inadvertently."
No, no, no" Rong Lu hurriedly shook his head, and immediately replied with his fists clenched, "I didn't mean that in the next million, this time, I didn't expect to get so much assistance."
The president is really generous, and he is a little flattered and at a loss" "Okay, don't be a sycophant."
It's not too early, and if it's okay, you can step down.For other things, you can discuss it with someone from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs" Qiao Zhiqing's words were finished, and he didn't want to waste his words with Rong Lu again.The reason why he took such good care of the Manchus was because of him and the son of Cixi's sister, Qiao Huaien.By accident, this son was destined to endure the struggle between two peoples as soon as he was born.He also has half Manchu blood in him, and Qiao Zhiqing doesn't want this son to live in a tangle
