Prince Gong had a headache when he heard the words of the Rakshasa ghosts, the imperial court needed the help of the powers, but the Russians could not help if they were killed, Britain, France and the United States were just greedy for the money of the Qing Dynasty, and they also used the method of doing business to make money, and these Rakshasa ghosts wanted money and land, and they wanted to swallow the entire Qing Dynasty.

"Haha, the minister laughed, the Qing Dynasty is only encountering some slightly stricter public security incidents, and it is not for the sake of borrowing troops. ”

Yi did not dare to dwell on the topic of borrowing troops with Ulangori, but saluted the ministers of Britain, France and the United States, hoping that they would express their position.

After a short silence, the French ambassador Goldmi spoke: "Your Excellency, I am afraid that I cannot agree with your definition, how can the casualties of thousands of Qing soldiers be described as a simple public order incident? In any country, such an act can already be characterized as a rebellion......"

"We don't want to interfere in the internal affairs of the Qing State, but we have been paying attention to every change in this ancient empire, and we hope that this country can be more civilized and civilized, but unfortunately, the war has not subsided over the years, and even such a strict conflict has occurred around the capital of the Qing State......

Sir Wittoma, Minister Counsellor of the United Kingdom, also spoke at this time: "I agree with Ambassador Goldmie that this conflict is not an ordinary rebellion, but a clash of two values. Xiao Letian spared no effort to promote Western studies, which is commendable, I hope that the Qing government can let the old forces rein in and try not to turn academic disputes into wars, we don't want any crown to fall, and we don't want any scholars to be harmed......"

The attitude between Britain and France is still very ambiguous, of course, they hope that more and more Chinese will promote Western learning, but they also hope that the Qing government can maintain its rule, after all, the treaty was signed with the Manchu government, and if something happens, it will definitely damage the interests of Britain and France.

Russia still wanted to make a big deal out of it, and Ambassador Urangori retorted with a curly beard, "No, no, no, there is nothing wrong with the Qing government in this matter, and the emperor must suppress these heresies if he wants to rule his country, and I support the suppression by force, and I am willing to send warships to blockade Tanggu Harbor from the sea, so that the bandits will not want to escape from the sea......"

The Russian beard is a typical person who is not afraid of big things, and even he himself wants to roll up his sleeves and end up, Russia needs a warm water port too much, and the greedy Britain and France have occupied almost all the places suitable for human existence on the earth, and why does Russia have to suffer in the icy and snowy wasteland.

Russia needs to expand its southern space, its navy needs warm water ports that don't freeze all year round, and the empire needs more and more living space. As long as the Russian Navy is given an excuse to enter the Bohai Bay, it will be in response to the old saying of the Chinese, it is easy to please God, it is difficult to send God.

Just as the bearded Russian man was pouring out to Prince Gong about how heroic the Cossacks were, the key figure in the room, the American Minister Warren, spoke.

"Your Royal Highness, when you invited the ambassadors of the four countries to talk this time, I'm afraid that the real topic is not Xiao Letian, right? That Zeng Dashuai, who is heading north, is the topic you want to discuss today. ”

The most critical moment was when the old diplomat could calm the scene, and Hua Ruohan opened his mouth to silence the whole room for a while. Warren picked up his wine glass and took a sip.

"The Hunan army is now claiming 500,000 to the outside world, this figure is definitely exaggerated, but there should still be half of the 250,000 elites. To put it mildly, the Imperial Court does not have the power to compete with Zeng Guofan, these soldiers have been fighting for more than ten years, and this is a very formidable group of warriors......"

"Let's go back and look at the army in the hands of His Majesty the Emperor, how many of them still have combat effectiveness? It's like Xiao Letian made two consecutive shots, abolished a green battalion, and captured a high-ranking official of the Eight Banners, how could this kind of soldier protect the emperor?"

Hua Ruohan calmly exposed the shortcomings of the court in Chinese, and made Prince Gong blush. But Hua Ruohan seemed to have made up his mind to teach him a lesson today, and the sharp words that followed made the prime minister even more embarrassed.

"I don't know how the imperial court will deal with Xiao Letian, but I want to remind His Royal Highness that Xiao Letian is an American citizen, and his life is protected by American law, and I don't know how the prince will give me an explanation for the various assassinations against Xiao Letian during this time......"

"Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding..."Devil Six made Hua Ruohan's brain sweat, and this topic is really difficult to explain.

Hua Ruohan didn't save face for him, and stimulated him, "Maybe you think that Xiao Lotian has brought you a lot of trouble, after all, his existence has always stimulated those Confucian students." However, you also have to think about it carefully, isn't it the power in Xiao Letian's hands that can really save the Qing Dynasty now?"

"Industry, natural science, this is the only way for the imperial court to innovate and protect itself. The reason why Xiao Letian can hurt you is because he has such power in his hands. He is personally demonstrating to the imperial court, telling you what method you can use to defeat the traditional army and defeat the hundreds of thousands of Hunan troops..."

"It's a pity that the Qing court ignored Xiao Letian's efforts, but did everything possible to eliminate him, and even after the appearance of the newspaper, a sharp weapon to compete for people's hearts, the court was actually panicked and chaotic, don't you want to make good use of this power?"

Hua Ruohan sighed and said faintly: "I really don't understand, isn't it the dream of any country that a special industrial zone capable of producing advanced muskets and cannons? Xiao Letian chose to give this power to the Qing Dynasty, isn't this his love for his mother country?"

"I'm very sorry, in this conflict, we in the United States can't provide any help to the Qing Dynasty, because the people who can help you are in the Qing Dynasty. Finally, I would like to give you a Chinese proverb: 'Heaven helps those who help themselves', and if the Qing Dynasty cannot train a powerful new army on its own, then you are doomed to tremble in the shadow of careerists......"

Hua Ruohan's words could not be refuted, the court came to this point purely by its own death, Zeng Guofan dared to transfer troops to the north, not because Xiao Letian's combination of fists stirred the entire Zhili was uneasy. In particular, the emergence of newspapers made the imperial court panic, so it responded inappropriately.

And why did Xiao Letian go crazy? Isn't the root cause the distrust of the imperial court and the forced palace of Confucian scholars, but now even the Americans have been offended, and they are not human beings inside and outside the court.

The meeting between Prince Gong and the envoys of the four kingdoms did not yield any meaningful results, and when Yi sent off the foreigners and prepared to enter the palace to discuss with the empress dowager of the two palaces, an uninvited guest arrived, and the leader of the Qingliu Dynasty, Weng Tongyong, came to worship in person.

"What? Uncle Weng came to see me? I don't see him, let him go back, and say that I am not empty......

"Why is the prince so angry, I'm not a flood beast, I don't even have the strength to say a few words when I see each other?"

Yiyi looked up and found that Weng Tongyi had actually broken in from the outside despite the obstruction. Yi was so angry, he put the teacup on the table, "I can't provoke you, can't you hide?" tossing and turning, now Shengsheng has tossed Zeng Guofan to the north, look at the good things you Qingliu have done......"

"Hahaha, the prince is worried about Zeng Dashuai, there is no need, as long as the court gives me the will, I, a Confucian student, with a three-inch tongue, will personally go to block the handsome's iron horse. Don't worry, Zeng Guofan just wants to take advantage of the chaos and take advantage of the opportunity of the newspaper to disrupt the hearts of the people and show his force to the world......"

"I'm sure that these 20,000 iron horsemen will definitely not move forward when they go to Cangzhou, he just wants to raise the price and get more benefits from the imperial court...... After all, he is also a reader, and I still know what he thinks in his heart......"

Weng Tongyi's persuasion made Yi breathe a sigh of relief, and his face eased a lot, "Shuping, don't blame me for my bad temper, how many major things are waiting for the imperial court to do in the near future, I really don't have the energy to deal with these scholars anymore, sell me a face, don't encourage the students to toss......"

"I'll tell you the truth, then Xiao Letian, don't always think about dealing with it, today the U.S. minister has personally admitted that Xiao Lotian is an American citizen, and if you continue to make trouble, there will be a dispute..."

Weng Tongyi was stunned when he heard this: "What does the prince mean by this? Then Xiao Letian just let it go? The Han army's green camp died in vain? Melebai was arrested? Does the imperial court still want to engage in that special zone?"

Yi shook his head, "Old man, don't ask, I'm in a hurry to enter the palace now, and the queen mother still has to come to make a decision." But let me remind you that the court has had a lot of ups and downs over the years, and it is easy to ease this breath, but it can't be chaotic anymore...... You should be pitiful and pitiful to the emperor who is not in power..."

After speaking, Yi patted Weng Tonggong on the shoulder, and strode out of the prime minister's yamen, leaving the emperor alone to ponder.

When the original words of the ministers of the four countries, especially the American ministers, reached the ears of the queen mother and the emperor, the hearts of the queen mothers of the two palaces suddenly brightened.

"That's right, the Americans' words are not rough, even if these Confucian scholars used their conscience and the loyalty and filial piety of the saint to force Zeng Guofan, but they can't force it for a lifetime, even if they force Zeng Guofan, maybe there are Li Guofan and Wang Guofan...... Let's have to have the strength in our own hands......"

"It seems that this special industrial zone can't be built without it, and the imperial court can't always be squeezed by others, and what if someone leads troops to put pressure on it every three or five days after it becomes a convention in the future......?

"Let's do it, let Xiao Letian release him, the court will not investigate his crimes, reconcile and settle this matter while the year is over, let Zhou Daoying and Ermao talk about it, and then send Weng Tongyi to pass the decree, let them read to bite the readers, and never allow the Xiang army to enter the capital and stop the mourning family in Cangzhou......"

"Go back and bring a word to Weng Tongyi, these people are definitely not allowed to make trouble on the street again, the bottom line of the court is here, if there is another gathering of people to make trouble, this year's Enke will want to ask for it again, just tell him clearly......"
