    Before leaving the house, Wu Dianying whispered: "Commander Xiang, be patient, be patient, and be patient for the sake of the country!"

    As the chief staff officer, he knows Zhang Zhidong very well.  The Nanpi Zhang family is not a famous family, but four generations of their ancestors have served as county magistrates. Growing up in such an official family, Zhang Zhidong is inevitably a little arrogant.  Moreover, he was intelligent by nature. He won the first prize at the age of 15 and the third prize at the age of 26. After that, his official career was prosperous. He became a governor at the age of 44 and a governor at the age of 47. These all encouraged his bad habits.  As a result, Zhang Zhidong was not tactful and tolerant in his dealings with others. He often found fault with small things and lost his temper, causing his colleagues and subordinates to lose face.

    "If you are a governor or governor, you are the best, and the people around you are your subordinates, and no one dares to challenge you.  But now we are in the Military Aircraft Department, with the young and energetic Regent Zaifeng at the top, the foreman is Prince Yikuang of Qing, who only cares about money and respects money, and his colleagues are all dignified military aircraft ministers. If you are picky and picky, who will buy your account?  However, Zhang Zhidong did not change his bad habits, and as a result, he and Yi Kuang, Shi Xu, and Na Tong became very tense in a short period of time.

    Zhang Zhidong glanced at Wu Dianying, said nothing, turned around and went to the military aircraft as if writing.

    The Military Aircraft Department was established in the seventh year of Yongzheng (1729) and was the central power authority in the middle and late Qing Dynasty.  Military ministers have always been directly selected by the emperor. They are usually concurrently appointed by princes, bachelors, ministers, ministers or imperial ministers. There is no prescribed quota, ranging from three to four to seven or eight.  There were at most eleven people, and the emperor could play three tables of mahjong, and four tables for Landlord.  But usually there are only four to seven people, with five or six being the most common.  There are five people right now:

    Ranked first is Prince Qing Yikuang.  Although he was greedy by nature and had a close relationship with Yuan Shikai, he still sat firmly in the position of military aircraft foreman.  The reason is simply that he is a Manchu.  corruption?  Corruption is nothing!  For the regent Zaifeng, I am not afraid that you have shortcomings, but I am afraid that you have no shortcomings!

    The second one is Shixu, also a Manchu, with a gentle personality and a good old man.  I don¡¯t usually express my opinions very much, I am only responsible for copying and writing.  The name is second, but when it comes to the right to speak, it ranks third or fourth.

    The person named third but actually second is Zhang Zhidong.  He has been in office for many years, has rich political experience, unique vision and sophisticated methods.  These princes of the Qing Dynasty, who have been fighting chickens since childhood, are like flowers and plants in a greenhouse. How can they know the suffering of the people?  When it comes to fighting for power and profit, everyone strives to be the first; when it comes to military and state affairs, Zhang Zhidong has to be asked to make decisions.

    Ranked fourth is Na Tong. At the end of last year, he replaced Yuan Shikai, who was sent home to coax his children, and entered the Military Aircraft Department.  Even though he came late, no one dared to underestimate him, even Yikuang wanted to give him some face.  Why?  He is young!  Na Tong, who is in his early fifties, is considered to be in his prime among a group of old men in their sixties and seventies.

    The last one is Lu Chuanlin.  This roller-shield military aircraft is one year older than Zhang Zhidong. He is young and ambitious, and his prestige is not very high. He only serves as a companion at the military aircraft. When he arrives at the military aircraft, he begins to practice silent chanting.

    Zhang Zhidong entered the military aircraft room and saw the regent Zaifeng sitting in the middle, with his colleagues on both sides.  He did not dare to entrust the elders, and regardless of his old age and frailty, he bowed to Zaifeng and Yikuang in a formal manner.  On the side, Shi Xu smiled and nodded towards Zhang Zhidong, while Na Tong and Lu Chuanlin quickly stood up and asked Zhang Zhidong to take a seat.

    After sitting down, Zhang Zhidong¡¯s eyelids twitched: There are six people in the room now!

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Even so, the duty room is still not spacious. If six people sit in the room, it will feel a bit cramped.  There are rumors in official circles that if there are six military and aircraft ministers, one of them must be unlucky.

    To the outside world, this rumor is just a topic of conversation after dinner.  But for the staff of the Military Aircraft Department, it is almost a curse.  As far as Zhang Zhidong knows about anecdotes since Tongzhi, there has been no error in this rule:

    In the first year of Tongzhi, there were six people in the Military Aircraft Department: Prince Gong Yi, Guiliang, Shen Zhaolin, Baojun, Wenxiang, and Cao Yuying. As a result, Guiliang and Shen Zhaolin died one after another in June and July of that year.  From then on, during the thirteenth year of Tongzhi, there were no more than five military ministers, and this example was still followed in the early years of Guangxu.

    In the second year of Guangxu, Cixi did not seem to believe in evil. In March, she added Jing Lian to the five people including Yi Xi, Wen Xiang, Bao Jun, Shen Guifen, and Li Hongzao. As a result, Wen Xiang lost his braid in May.

    In the first month of the sixth year of Guangxu's reign, Li Hongzao returned from his mother's bereavement leave and continued working.  Grandma Cixi became restless again and put him in the military plane where there were already five people including Yi Xi, Bao Jun, Shen Guifen, Jing Lian, and Wang Wenshao.  In December of that year, Wang Wenshao died of illness.

    ¡­¡­

    There is no need to list them one by one, just talk about what happened in recent years.

    Since July of the 33rd year of GuangxuTalk.  As for Lu Chuanlin, he raised his face to the sky and closed his eyes slightly. He didn't know whether he was wandering in the sky or playing chess with Duke Zhou. In short, nothing in the world could interest him at all.

    Zaifeng said: "In that case, let's make a plan for opening the vacancy first. I've also written down Xiang Weng's intention. As for the specific details, we still need to ask the Emperor and the Queen Mother to judge!"

    Zhang Zhidong¡¯s eyes suddenly turned dark: Holy Judge?  Holy Judge, your sister!  Now Emperor Xuantong is only three or four years old. He is illiterate and cannot understand the meaning. How can he be respectful to the emperor?  Empress Dowager Longyu was a woman with a paramecium-like IQ. She also wanted to imitate the Queen Mother of the West and listen to politics behind the curtain. The Queen Mother of the West had stronger knees than her head.  Does she know what is right and wrong?  It¡¯s not you, the regent, who has the final say!

    Zhang Zhidong took a sip of tea and managed to stay awake, then listened to Zaifeng continue: "A few days ago, the general office of Jinpu Railway, registered Taoist Li Shunde and others engaged in personal corruption and were dismissed from their posts and never used. Lu Haihuan is the supervisor.  , unable to take precautions beforehand, and unaware of it afterwards, he went to supervise the post of Jinpu Railway Minister. However, the post cannot be left vacant. Do you have any good candidates to recommend?"

    Yikuang said: "Tang Shaoyi is available."

    Na Tong immediately responded: "I second the proposal!"

    Tang Shaoyi was originally written as "Tang Shaoyi".  At the end of last year, Emperor Xuantong Puyi came to the throne. Tang Shaoyi, who was the minister of envoys at the time, was still in the United States, but he immediately sent a telegram back to ask for instructions: The word "yi" in my name is the same as the emperor's name. To avoid taboos, I want to change it to the word "yi". Can I  ?  In this way, he used a telegram to establish the image of a loyal minister in the hearts of the Manchu royal family.

    Seeing that they were about to reach an agreement, Zhang Zhidong quickly objected: "I thought Tang Shaoyi couldn't do it!"

    "Why does Mr. Xiang think it's not possible?" Zaifeng was confused today: In the past, Zhang Zhidong always advised him to use more Han people and less banner people to eliminate the Manchu and Han territories. Why is he preventing the opening of vacancies for banner people and opposing the appointment today?  What about the Han people?

    Zhang Zhidong calmed down and said: "Tang Shaoyi has studied in the United States since he was a child. He has been deeply influenced by Western culture and believes in Christianity. He does not know much about Chinese customs and people. The Tianjin-Puzhou Railway involves Zhili, Shandong and Jiangsu provinces, which are densely populated, and there must be many of them.  The tomb relocation matter. If he supervises it, public opinion will be in an uproar and all the people will be stirred up!"

    Zaifeng smiled and said: "Xiang Weng, are you from Zhili? In addition to moving graves, the railway mainly involves land acquisition. The gentry has a lot of land, so land acquisition is no problem; the common people have little land, and land acquisition will cause them to lose their jobs. So for the country, it is better to lose.  The gentry does not harm the people. If the gentry thinks it is not possible, then it must be possible."

    Zhang Zhidong was furious: "How can you ignore the public opinion of the world just because of your own opinion? The three provinces of Zhizhi, Shandong and Su are the foundation of the country and cannot be careless. Once Tang Shaoyi is appointed as the supervisor, I am afraid that it will provoke a popular uprising and shake the world!"

    Zaifeng didn¡¯t take it seriously: ¡°Don¡¯t we have soldiers? We¡¯re still afraid of trouble caused by unruly people!¡±

    Zhang Zhidong felt suffocated: "If Tang Shaoyi is appointed as the supervisor, the officials, people, gentry and gentry of the three provinces will never recognize it."

    Zaifeng slapped the table: "Xiang Weng, you are from Nanpi, Zhili. If there is an edict, do you plan to disobey it?"

    On the side, Yi Kuang said angrily: "This is not Hubei. It is unacceptable to disobey orders."

    Zhang Zhidong was extremely depressed. He felt his throat was so sweet that he could no longer hold back his hot blood and spurted it out immediately.  (To be continued.
