"How are we going to deal with the Chinese airships, how are we going to deal with this night attack combat method! We have to have a response plan!"
Xie Duowan was shocked and said, "Your Majesty! Has the imperial court exempted you from command?"
Yi Xin shook his head, "No, it was the king himself who complained of illness! I have indeed been in poor health these past few years... Your Majesty has already taken charge of the government, so your Majesty will take charge of the rest!"
"Let's go! Let's all go... Let's go and discuss how to deal with the Chinese! I'll ask the kitchen to serve you wine tonight..."
"As an old boss, I'm going to have a fight with all my colleagues..." Yi Xin couldn't say any more, wiped his eyes and turned around!
Xie Duowan and others hesitated to speak. Looking at the prince's back, they had no choice but to turn around and leave. On the edge of the rockery before leaving the bat pool, Xie Duowan grabbed his familiar Manchu friend, Battalion Commander Oratu!
"My friend! I really don't understand the politics of your Qing Dynasty. The court did not remove the prince from military power. Why did the prince give up on his own?"
"This won't work! No powerful politician can give up control of the military, even if he is an ordinary civil servant!"
"Our French Senator Gambit, as an ordinary civilian member of Parliament... still bravely rode a hot air balloon to break through the blockade of Prussian and Chinese bandits!"
"He organized hundreds of thousands of troops in the rich south of France, blocking the Prussian attack! If it weren't for the capitulationists and conspirators in Paris, our Senator Gambit would definitely lead the Southern Army to victory. of!"
"I firmly believe! Congressman Gambit will definitely become the president or prime minister of France in the future! Because he has the support of the army, the support of the Southern Legion who are loyal to him, and the support of countless people!"
The Frenchman was always verbose when he spoke. Oratu quickly waved his hand, "Speak to the important point, point to the important point..."
If Orato hadn't interrupted him in time, this guy would have been able to blow his French blow for an hour!
Xie Duowan said angrily, "I mean the prince can't give up like this! Xishan Camp is his political trump card, how can he hand it over so easily? He can't surrender on his own!"
Eratu and Xie Dowan drank together, especially the friendship established by drinking flower wine together! Eratu had long known that Xie Duowan had ambitions and was a typical money-lover and official-lover!
On the surface, I said these words today for the good of the prince, but in fact, I just want to know if Prince Gong can be relied on in the future!
Oratu looked around and said in a low voice, "You don't understand the rules here! The prince's claim of illness is actually to retreat in order to advance! If you don't take the initiative to give in, you will be in trouble when the emperor issues his decree!"
"Your Majesty also hopes that things will not get too big and that the power will be handed over slowly... so the prince's declaration of illness is a step up!"
"Oh God! If I hand over this power, isn't it in vain? Can I take it back?" Xie Duowan secretly cried out in his heart. He knew that once Xishan Camp fell into the hands of Emperor Tongzhi, he would never get any good. of!
How could Xiao Letian allow a French officer to gain power next to Emperor Tongzhi?
Oratu smiled sinisterly, "You don't understand this! The Qing Dynasty is different from your France... Anyone who wants to do something can't get around our Eight Banners network!"
"The same goes for Your Majesty. Without the support of the Eight Banners, his reform will never succeed! There are still many people in the Eight Banners who support the prince, and even our Xishan Camp are direct descendants of the prince!"
"Even if the prince claims to be ill, the army will still be in the palm of the prince's hand!"
Only then did Xie Dowan feel a little relieved, and put his hand on Oratu's shoulder, "That's good, that's good... Since the rights are still there, we can have a few more drinks tonight!"
Foreign devils are very straightforward in what they do and are not as restrained as Chinese officials. However, such generals are easier to control. Yi Xin firmly believes that!
In the study, Zaicheng asked the same question. He said with a look of reluctance, "Ama! Do we really no longer want our army? What if His Majesty agrees to your excuse of illness and assigns new officials to the Xishan Camp?" "
"Even if these generals are our confidants, they can't stand being mixed with sand for a long time!"
"Today, I will change the company commander, and tomorrow I will transfer a battalion commander... There are many ways to mess with him! What's more, you know people and faces but don't know their hearts. What if Zai Chun takes money and official position at the expense of him? How many high-ranking officials with high salaries are not tempted? "
Yi Xin frowned and said, "I have already thought about these things, it's no big deal! Go and invite your seventh uncle and fifth uncle over now!"
"Every family matter in the Aixinjueluo family must be discussed together!"
It was as if there was telepathy between brothers. Before Zai Cheng rode out of the main gate, the housekeeper from the outer gate came running out of breath. It was already past eight o'clock in the evening, and the entire Sijiu City was dark!
The lanterns were flickering, and the carriages and sedans of the two princes Yi Xuan and Yi Pei entered Prince Gong's Mansion in a low-key manner, and led the way straight to the back garden with Zai Cheng nodding and bowing!
"How is your Ama now? If you have heart palpitations, you need to rest more and ask the doctor to prescribe some medicinal soup for sleeping..." Yi Pei said angrily.
Zai Cheng nodded hurriedly, "Yes... Uncle Wu is right! I slept for two hours this afternoon, and I feel much better now..."
Regardless of whether these buddies are close to each other on weekdays, they are all brothers under Emperor Daoguang after all, and they still have to stick together once they encounter critical events!
As soon as they entered the study, the two princes saw Jaap Liu, who was half leaning on the bed, with a piece of cloth tightened on his forehead to resist the headache!
This Yixin is really sick with qi, her face is sallow and her spirit is extremely depressed!
"Lao Liu... you... aren't you pretending to be sick?" Fifth Master opened his mouth and revealed what was in his heart.
Yi Xin smiled bitterly and said, "I also want to pretend to be sick! But my body won't allow it! Last night I was so frightened that my eyes went dark and I fainted!"
"Fifth brother is sitting, and the seventh brother is doing the same... Zaicheng took out the little Dahongpao I had hidden and made some tea..."
"Oh... don't worry about it. Do we still care about that sip of tea?" Master Wu walked over quickly and helped Guiziliu sit up from the bed. His eyes felt a little astringent!
Prince Chun Yixuan sat on the chair blankly, his eyes were so tired after the whole day, "Brother Six...it's so miserable! This Xiao Letian is too arrogant..."
"At noon today, the airship flew back in a big way! It's flying back and forth above the capital at this moment! It scared the people so much that they didn't dare to go out!"
"What can I do? What can I do..."
When Yi Xin heard this, he immediately became furious, "What! The airship is actually back again? Is it still hanging on?"
"Shameless! This is too much! Send an order to Xishan Camp to mount the cannon on the city wall!"
"Fight it down! Shoot it down with artillery!"
