[It’s the Spring Festival, so I can’t write when I’m home, so I’ll save it first~ I’m sorry~ I wish you all a good New Year~ I’ve been having some troubles at home lately, and it’s hard to calm down and write~ I believe things will be better after the New Year, wish me the best

Ah~]

Come on, even without me, nine years later, wouldn’t the Eight-Power Allied Forces still rush into Beijing, burn, kill and loot?

Long Hao swore disdainfully, and then said calmly: "Everyone, I did not ask the imperial court to immediately give this new army a status! The status of this new army is essentially not disclosed to the public. The simple meaning is:

In fact, only the emperor knows the organization of this new army..."

Cui Guoyin and others were not stupid. After hearing this, they immediately realized: That means that when necessary, the emperor can deny recognition of this new army!!

After discovering that they could cheat, Cui Guoyin and Ouyang Geng's tensions were immediately relieved.

Cui Guoyin frowned: "That's it. With all due respect, this organization is like a castle in the air, and it won't be of any benefit to Little Friend Long!"

Long Hao chuckled: "Why is there no benefit? At least it is good for you...Ambassador Cui, let me be more clear. The personnel of this new army can be completely assigned by the emperor. These elites under me are only responsible for training.

Command! After the first bloody battle in Havana, Cuba, and after seeing the performance of this new army, the Emperor will probably be reluctant to regard him as an abandoned son and give up as soon as he says..."

Sent by the emperor?

Cui Guoyin, who was from the emperor's master Weng Tonghe's faction, seemed to be enlightened, and his eyes immediately burst into joy: Oh my God, this is a God-given opportunity to build a team for the emperor and fight against Lafayette and Li Zhongtang's "Beiyang".

!!!

Ouyang Geng's reaction was only a little slower than Cui Guoyin's. When he figured it out, as a member of Li Hongzhang's lineage, his face immediately turned gray and ugly!

"This is a must!"

"Absolutely not!"

Cui Guoyin and Ouyang Geng shouted words with completely different meanings almost at the same time.

Long Hao narrowed his eyes: "Oh? The two adults seem to have different opinions. Who should I listen to?"

Cui Guoyin held his head high and said: "Yujie, I am the official ambassador of the imperial court. Naturally you should listen to me! On behalf of the emperor, I assure you that you will be responsible for the training and command of this new army. It will be done."

After that, the remuneration we give Mr. Viscount will also increase significantly!"

Ouyang Geng was a little anxious and interjected: "No, absolutely not! Our dynasty has never stationed troops outside the country. Even Lord Zhongtang, who is well-known among foreigners, has never developed Beiyang outside the country! Cui

Ambassador, Mr. Long, if you do this, you will put the imperial court in danger! It is an act of disloyalty and unfilial piety!"

Cui Guoyin scolded sternly: "Ouyang Geng, I knew you were Li Hongzhang's confidant, why? Don't you allow the emperor to do things that Beiyang can't do? In your eyes, who is the emperor? Or is Li Hongzhang greater?

?”

In one sentence, Ambassador Cui suddenly fell out with Ouyang Geng, and the previous tacit understanding was gone!

The reason is very simple. The "military power" that Long Hao threw out in an understatement just scratched the "itch" of Cui Guoyin, or the royalist forces behind Cui Guoyin, and he couldn't help but give in!

While Long Hao was smiling proudly, Ouyang Geng was sweating profusely. He winked at Ouyang Ming: "Brother, please help me quickly persuade Ambassador Cui, don't put our Qing Dynasty into dire straits just because of Long Hao's sweet words."

A dangerous situation! Once this new army is cultivated, it will be a big problem!"

Ouyang Ming was silent. Although he and Ouyang Geng were cousins, their political views did not approach Li Hongzhang.

After thinking for a moment, Ouyang Ming said solemnly: "Hey, Zhaoting, it's not that I won't help you, it's just that Little Friend Long's request is reasonable and not excessive. With the help of Major Castillo, we can do it at almost no cost.

It is really a good deal to be able to establish a foreign gun team overseas! And Long Xiaoyou also agreed. At a critical moment, the emperor can deny the existence of this team, which can be said to be of great benefit to the Qing Dynasty.

It’s harmless, why not give it a try?”
