This is the effect that Cixi wanted. Authority was not achieved overnight. Even if the emperor who officially ascended the throne wanted to take charge of the rule and take charge of the country, he had to cross the river little by little. He could not guarantee that all the civil and military officials in the court would have the same heart as him.

Cixi understood the truth better. It is ten thousand times more difficult for a woman to have power than a man, so she needs to gradually establish her prestige and make this inertia a habit in ten or twenty years or even longer.

Yi? is really very good at knowing to give her a step forward. It seems that she needs to re-evaluate her brother-in-law. At the beginning, Cixi had the idea of ​​suppressing Yi?, but later the situation was in chaos and the two empress dowagers broke up completely. At this time, she found that Yi? was better.

Cixi handed it to Yi? You know what you know, and then the two of them were tacit and their love was restrained.

The Queen Mother behind the pearl curtain thought carefully and asked, "Prince Gong, you are responsible for the training of Xishan recruits. Let me ask you, when will your army be trained? Can you fight after you have trained it?"

"Qi Biography, the first batch of new troops in Xishan was trained 30,000, and the equipment was equipped with the Enfield breech gun made by Britain. This is not the old-fashioned guns we used before the Qing Dynasty. It is said that the Prussians used breech guns to defeat the powerful enemy Austria. They had a fast firing speed and a long range..."

"More importantly, they all use paper-pack bullets, which saves the time to load ammunition. I have seen it with my own eyes that the fire of the musket array was like a rainstorm, and it did not give the enemy any space to rush into the formation..."

"Each 10,000 people set up a town, and each town is equipped with 200 artillery gates to use it in a concentrated manner... Last month, the Mongolian princes from the Fourth Alliance of the East, the Second Alliance of the West, the Chechen Alliance, Tushetuhan and other places issued an edict to select 20,000 young elite cavalry for the court within two months and add 40,000 war horses..."

"At that time, all these 20,000 cavalrymen were trained into our Qing Dynasty's dragon cavalry, throw away the long spear and short sword, and use the American-made Spencer rapid-fire foreign gun..."

"The 50,000 army will definitely be trained in two years. At that time, we can expand our army by 30,000 more depending on the financial resources. At most, the 80,000 soldiers can be trained for the court..."

The Xishan New Army can be said to be Yi's efforts and the last glimmer of hope for the conservatives. It is really uncomfortable to have no army, so for the new army Yi, he really put all his passion on it.

Listening to Yi's introduction, the people present couldn't help but see pictures of a strong army in their minds, and their blood was involuntarily boiling.

"Good guy, all of them are foreign guns and cannons made with real money! And there are 80,000 combat soldiers, and then Xiao Letian is only 30,000 new troops. We can't suffer any more this time!"

"That's right, I heard from the British military officers in Dongjiaomin Lane that the weapons and equipment of the new army in Xishan have far exceeded the level of the British and French coalition eight years ago... At that time, British people used reams, and now they are all more advanced rear-loading guns! Although I didn't understand much, foreigners have agreed that it must be excellent..."

"That's right, that's right! In addition, the Mongolian princes selected 20,000 young elites for us, and the power of Xishan Camp is more than a hundred times stronger! I heard that Xiao Letian has not formed a cavalry yet. Just knowing that if he bought a boat, can that boat still go ashore? So at that time, we still have to let our cavalry beat him with his nose!"

The Yangxin Palace was talking a lot. At that time, the nobles of the imperial palace in the capital had this problem and were impatient. When they encountered some happy things, they would show off their might as well show their might as well show their power as the Eight Banners of the Celestial Kingdom. If they suffered a little setback on the battlefield, they would immediately turn into a nest of plague chickens and sigh.

Xiao Letian's memory of breaking through Sijiu City has not faded yet, but when he saw the framework structure of the Xishan Camp, he began to fantasize about defeating Xiao Letian.

When Cixi saw that the topic was going to be messy, she coughed twice, and the palace of Yangxin suddenly became quiet, "Prince Gong, don't say so detailed, just tell us everyone, Xishan Camp and Xiao Letian are fighting with real swords and guns. Can we win?"

This is a key issue. Everyone present turned their attention to Yi? Prince Gong thought carefully for a while and said calmly, "What is happening on the battlefield is at the forefront. It depends on the right time, place and people in the war!"

"If the decisive battle between the enemy and us was launched on the Great Plain and Xiao Letian's army had no danger to defend, then with the cooperation of cavalry and infantry, I dare say that there is a 90% chance of victory... Because we have cavalry and a large depth, we can use the advantages of cavalry's high-speed maneuvering to cooperate with infantry to drag them to death bit by bit. After all, we have the advantage of numbers..."

"But if Xiao Letian's army adopts a defensive position and complex terrain, and what we fear most is that we have city streets as our support, then our chances of winning may not be even 30%..."

Ah? There was a noise in the hall, and someone stood up at that time. "Prince Gong, so you consume millions of silver, and what you have trained is not a sure victory army? The enemy is only 30,000, and you can't even eat it? Can't you feed the dog the silver..."

"No, didn't you listen to my explanation? I mean it depends on the right time, place, and people. Fighting is not a joke!"

"Don't fool me, you, the Sixth Japanese. I have read a few military books. Can Xiao Letian pull out all the 30,000 troops? He has to leave a part of the mobile troops that can be used to protect Ryukyu and the Special Zone. The total number of mobile troops that can be mobilized is only 20,000..."

"Look at us again. There are green camp soldiers in the local defense, and the Eight Banners in the capital defense. You are all real war soldiers, and you can all be brought to the battlefield. If you fight 80,000 and 20,000, you still say 30% sure?"

"Empress Dowager, I will be in trouble for Prince Gong to train troops now, and it will only waste national strength!"

The good guy suddenly started to make a noise in the whole Palace of Harmony. Although Prince Gong is a hereditary prince, the other princes have a low status. Even if the Iron Hat King has to retreat, they have to leave.

Yi's temple was so angry that his temples were shattering. He knew that these people wanted to avenge their personal revenge. When the Xishan Camp was being built, these bastards kept stuffing people in, and if they were dissatisfied, they would hold grudges.

If you have dark eyes, you can't see the white silver. If you want to build the Xishan Camp, you can't imagine that it will not be possible to build it. If you leave it to these people, and don't spend more than 10 million taels, you will be loyal to the emperor and patriotic.

Moreover, this is just the first batch of investments. From now on, the Xishan Camp will have to maintain and purchase bullets and shells every year. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a continuous stream of gold mines. This group of people have long been jealous of them.

Yi? Even if you open your mouth, you can't resist a group of wolves siege here. Moreover, these hungry wolves are unreasonable at all. Everything they say makes people laugh and cry, but they don't think that they just quarrel for the sake of quarrel and don't want to listen to your reason.

When you meet such a person, Yi can only shut up. He has his persistence. No matter what flowers you say, the command of Xishan Camp will not be able to give you a little bit.

At the end of the fuss, only a bang sound was heard. Cixi behind the bead curtain angrily slapped her enamel nail cover. "Do you think the Ai family is dead? There is no such thing as discussing politics... They are all ignorant, all of which are verbal skills. What is the difference between foreign guns and cannons?"

"The musket bullets are equipped with front and back. What's the difference? Which country's products are of good quality and cheap? Which country's officers are invited to train? Do you understand all these? If you don't understand anything, you have become an expert in pointing fingers..."

"Everyone goes home and think about it behind closed doors! When will I figure it out? Go to Prince Gong's Mansion to apologize and then go to court again. If you can't figure it out, just raise a big yellow dog at home!"
