Gongning, Military Region Command.

A gorgeously decorated four-wheeled carriage quickly drove into the military gate under a team of cavalry entourage, and it stopped slowly until the headquarters building. The door opened. Zuo Zongtang, wearing casual clothes, slowly got off the carriage with the support of the attendant. Feng Renxuan, who had been waiting at the door, and Tang Bingcan and the others quickly greeted him and saluted him in a regular manner.

Zuo Zongtang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Commander Feng is now the commander-in-chief who controls the troops of the two provinces. In terms of position, he is still above me..."

"Mr. Master is so angry." Feng Renxuan smiled. The two provinces declared autonomy. He was nominally the commander-in-chief who controlled the troops of the two provinces, but in fact it was impossible to command Zhu Shanhai's troops. As he said that, he reached out to give in and said, "Sir. Please—."

After entering the house and sitting down, Zuo Zongtang said straight: "Will Yourong stay in Gongning for a long time? Or return to Haohan?"

Feng Renxuan said without hesitation: "Of course I'm going back to Haohan."

"It's good." Zuo Zongtang said, "Otherwise, Zhu Shanhai will inevitably be suspicious."

After hearing this, Tang Bingcan hesitated and said, "In this way, isn't anyone able to control Zhu Shanhai and others?"

"Why do we need to suppress it? Only by chaotic chaos can we be greatly governed." Zuo Zongtang said in a deep voice: "This should be one of the purposes of the prince deliberately causing chaos in the northwest provinces."

It turned out that he was intentional indulging! Tang Bingcan couldn't help but realize that no wonder these two people tolerate each other, allowing Zhu Shanhai to completely dominate the situation in the northwest provinces. However, he couldn't help but worry, "Inner and diplomacy are all in the hands of Zhu Shanhai, and this guy's prestige will surely grow one day, and the time is a little longer, I'm afraid of a climate......"

"How big a climate can it be?" Zuo Zongtang didn't care at all. As long as Feng Renxuan did not rebel, Zhu Shanhai would not be able to make any big waves even if he was capable.

Feng Renxuan also smiled and said, "Don't worry, the situation in the northwest is under the control of the prince."

"Call from London." Zhao Liewen said slowly: "Parliament has officially passed a proposal to support Chile, and is now debating the proposal to support Central Asia..."

Yi Zhizu took the telegram and glanced casually, saying, "Since the proposal to support Chile has been passed, the proposal to support Central Asian independence will definitely be passed."

Zhao Liewen hesitated and said: "The geography of Chile and Central Asia is different after all. One is close to the sea and the other is not only far away but also far away from the ocean, so the transportation is inconvenient..."

Yi Shizu smiled, "Don't forget that the British regard India as the jewel in their queen's crown. Since they can pass the proposal to support Chile, there is no reason not to pass the proposal to support Central Asia."

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, "Ren An came to report yesterday that two British transport fleets suspected of loading arms went south and north one after another."

Zhao Liewen said: "Is the British playing first and then the action?"

Yi Zhengxing, who had not said anything, said: "Why are the two northwest provinces just using electricity to autonomy? Will this affect the decision of Britain and Russia?"

"Autonomousness is just a transitional stage of independence and will not have any impact." Yi Zhizu said slowly: "Zhu Shanhai's prestige and strength are not as strong as Zuo Feng and the other two. He also needs to use the emperor to use the means of ordering the princes to gain time to cultivate his strength. Naturally, he can only be self-governance first. He cannot let the emperor of the Qing Dynasty clearly decree the world and the two northwest provinces be independent."

After hearing this, Zhao Liewen curled the smile on his face, "If the Northwest declares independence, will the Empress Dowager and the Emperor be in danger?"

"They won't be in danger. I'll let Zuo Zongtang protect him back to Beijing after a while." Yi Zhizu said that the game of chess in the Northwest was controlled by him after all. If the Empress Dowager and the Emperor had any mistakes, he would be really hard to explain to the court, and it might cause chaos.

He lit a cigarette casually and continued: "The current situation is developing in the direction we expect. The more we are, the more we cannot be careless. Since they hope that our country will fight on both sides, we may as well follow their wishes and increase our troops in South America. In addition, the situation of rebellion in the northwest is a little bigger."

With the issuance of telegrams, the war machines of the Qing Empire were running quickly.

On land, with the help of a developed railway transportation network, troops quickly gathered from various provinces to Xi'an, and then moved from Xi'an to the northwest one after another, gathered in Hami through Lanzhou, Wuwei, and Zhangye. A large number of railway engineers repaired the railway day and night.

On the sea, fleets of different sizes set sail from coastal ports in Guangdong, Guangxi, Luzon, Java, Myanmar and other provinces to join Maputo, South Africa.

When the Qing Dynasty was busy mobilizing troops to move west and north, the two major stock exchanges were extremely popular. As soon as the 200 million war bonds were sold, they were popular. One after another of millions of orders were one after another. Many people were originally waiting and watching, but when they saw this situation, they couldn't wait to buy them. After all, war bonds have extremely generous returns, and no one was worried about risks at all.

The capital, the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Looking through the telegrams, Yi said with emotion: "There has been a rare drought in the seven northern provinces for five years. If this is put in the past, it will definitely be enough to shake the country's foundation. Now, after all the relief efforts, they still have the ability to fight on the sea and land. Look at this scale, it's not a small fight... If you have such ability in the early morning, how could you fall into this field today?"

Seeing him sighing, Su Shun was not funny. He had such ability early in the morning, how could he allow the hair to mess with the southeast? How could he indulge Yuan Qi to rise? Having said that, without Yuan Qi's rise, how could the Qing Dynasty have today's scene?

After pondering for a moment, he said: "Financial is important to war, but war is not just about money and food. In today's war, industrial strength and economic strength are the most important backing."

Speaking of this, he chuckled and said, "However, the 200 million war bonds were snatched in less than five days. Just this is the only thing that the Qing Dynasty is enough to be proud. I remember that the Qing Dynasty issued 20 million national bonds for the first time, and it relied entirely on Yuanqi underwriting..."

Yi? stretched out his hand and gestured, sneering: "This war bond issuance has been so smooth, Yuanqi has at least eaten so much, otherwise there would be no such a hot situation."

"Fifty million?" Su Shun said in surprise: "Can Yuanqi still take out 50 million to subscribe to war bonds?"

"Fifty million is a very conservative estimate." Yi? glanced at him, "On the day of opening, all the orders from millions of orders in the whole morning were from Yuanqi."

Su Shun said in confusion: "Didn't it mean that Yuanqi's mandatory order? All employees of factories, mines and enterprises under his name must subscribe at 20% of their annual salary?"

"How many can there be? It's just a gesture." Yi? curled his lips and then said in a muffled voice: "We still greatly underestimated Yuan Qi's financial resources."
