Why does Imperial Zhu Yi look very hateful, because Imperial Zhu Yi has far more power than others, and Imperial Zhu Yi never cares about using this powerful power to the fullest to compete for interests.

The mature empire meddles in the world and creates disputes everywhere, and it may not really be for the immediate interests of the time, just like playing Go, to create looting materials first. The so-called feng shui rotates, and the disadvantages of one period are not equal to the disadvantages of all periods. But if the empire is not able to intervene at all, then there will be no basis for even talks.

Weeser never thought that the territory of China that he created would be limited to Asia or Europe, and Alaska may not be a good strategic fulcrum, but it is not a bad thing to have a very bad strategic fulcrum in the Americas.

After giving Zuo Zhidan the order, Wei Ze even held that if he bought Alaska, Alaska would be taken away by others. As long as the strength is sufficient, it is not even a bad thing for Alaska to be taken away by force by other countries. War requires reasons and excuses, and the more reasons and excuses can motivate the people, the more victorious they will be. And the expansion of the war requires a good excuse. The seizure of land is an unacceptable problem in the eyes of the modern nation-state, and the war may not end when the country is recaptured. It is also the norm to ruthlessly cut more land from defeated countries.

Wei Ze only told the comrades who had little knowledge of history that those areas were all lands that China did not look up to, but since New China was a modern nation-state, there was no reason to ignore it and let other countries mess around like this.

Before Weeser talked about this, the comrades had no idea where Alaska was. After reading the map, the comrades were also a little shocked, so the ghost places in the far north were completely beyond the imagination of these people. When did the Chinese go to the legendary North Pole to settle down?

But the comrades all believe that Wei Ze will not talk nonsense, since Wei Ze, who respects **, said that the people over there have Chinese blood, then the people over there must have Chinese blood. In fact, everyone doesn't care whether they are of Chinese descent or not, but when he inspected Guangdong, Wei Ze was concerned about the cleansing of Nanhai Zhudao. At this time, Japan was in the midst of a civil war, and the progress of contacting the Japanese ronin was not fast. The Liberation Army could only let the overseas Chinese arm themselves and finally solve the problem of men of Spanish descent in Luzon. There was no objection to sending a woman of Spanish descent to China to be a wife to a single man who had no wife.

To put it bluntly, Chinese don't really care much about matrilineal blood, China only cares about culture. The Chinese people with profound cultural accumulation basically have this understanding.

These matters were handed over to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which was not busy with work, and the central government discussed a plan for dealing with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The Manchus could basically ignore it, but the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had received a large amount of military assistance from the Liberation Army, and after the Northern Expedition, it was natural to come up with a plan to solve the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Although the attitude was not too resolute, most of the comrades saw no reason to let the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom go again.

Wei Ze looked at Premier Bi Qingshan and said with a smile: "Comrades, look at Premier Bi's expression, do you think he will agree to let him come up with so much budget this year?" ”

Looking at Bi Qingshan's somewhat green face, everyone burst into laughter. Laughing and laughing, everyone understands people, Wei Ze's purpose in saying this is not a joke, but a very subtle expression that there is no plan to destroy the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom immediately. It's easy to understand that Hebei, Henan, Shandong, and Shanxi, these four provinces have such a large territory, and they really don't have so much energy to solve more problems in the short term.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it's May. Miao Peilin in the southeast of Shandong was lying in the soft collapse, and he had already kicked out the few concubines who were waiting next to him, and he was making plans in his heart. Not long ago, Miao Peilin received two guests, one of whom was naturally a representative of the Manchu court. Because there were 30,000 or 40,000 Eighth Banner troops stationed in northern Shandong, the Manchu Qing representative spoke in a tough tone, and he shouted and asked Miao Peilin to send troops to help suppress the army. If Miao Peilin doesn't agree, tens of thousands of Eight Banners athletes will go south to solve Miao Peilin.

Another guest was from the Twist Army, who fought against the Qing Army, and the Twist Army did not talk about Miao Peilin's small actions against the Eastern Twist Army before, but invited Miao Peilin to join the anti-Qing camp. Its representative even said that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was willing to recognize Miao Peilin's identity as the "King of Qi".

Miao Peilin didn't know much about the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom before, but later he learned that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom originally had the King of Qi, and the King of Qi was Wei Ze, who was now the emperor. After having new knowledge, Miao Peilin "figured out" why the Guangfu Army ignored him after hoping to get the title of "King of Qi" from the Guangfu Army. Is this something that is easy to understand, Wei Ze is the king of Qi, and then he is the emperor. After Miao Peilin got the title of King of Qi of the Liberation Army, does this imply that Miao Peilin also has the opportunity to retake Wei Ze's life path?

But because of this, Miao Peilin had a strong desire for the title of King Qi. Miao Peilin is very eager to get a higher status and more power. Wei Ze is undoubtedly the most powerful force in China now, but more than ten years ago, Wei Ze was just a mud leg drilled out of a poor ravine. Miao Peilin is a scholar with the identity of a talented person, there is no reason for Wei Ze to do what he can, he Miao Peilin can't do.

Miao Peilin didn't make a choice now because he was waiting for news from the Liberation Army. The Qing army and the Twist army fought so fiercely that there must always be a limit for the Guangfu army to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. But at this time, seven or eight days have passed, and there is no movement on the side of the Liberation Army. Miao Peilin's heart became more and more anxious, he suddenly stood up from the soft collapse and went straight to the meeting hall in front of him. At the same time, he ordered the pro-soldiers: "Gather the generals to talk about things!" ”

Miao Peilin now has only more than 30,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and the real army leader is only a dozen people. The military leaders who were defending the city in the south of Shandong could not come now, and there were only seven or eight people on the agenda. Looking at these people, Miao Peilin said loudly: "I'm ready to be the king of Qi of the Taiping Army!" ”

The military leaders were stunned for a moment, and then someone hurriedly objected, "My lord, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Jinan and Dezhou on the imperial court, can we fight now?" ”

"Those tens of thousands of people are doing anything in the northeast of the mountain, and how many people who can't stand it have fled to our side recently. There are too many people from all over Shandong in the north who want us to send troops to help them, and they also say that as long as we are willing to go north, they will definitely give us an internal response. Miao Peilin told the military leaders about some of his recent more confidential things.

The Eight Banners originally didn't want to leave Beijing, but after arriving in northern Shandong, the Eight Banners suddenly discovered their identities so that no one dared to resist even if they were looting everywhere. The Eight Banners Army, which was relatively regular when they were in Beijing, finally realized the benefits of being an army, and they plundered in the areas they passed near various stations. The things that were grabbed were sold if they could be sold, and the gold and silver were naturally transported back to Beijing and handed over to their families.

The people in northern Shandong can only choose to avoid this group of hungry wolf-like Eight Banner soldiers, and the southern part of Shandong has been relatively stable in recent years, so everyone can only flee to the south. Miao Peilin is a showman, and he has read the words "those who win the hearts of the people win the world". The actions of the Manchu Eight Banner Army undoubtedly greatly lost the support of the people, and there was an increasingly fierce posture.

Miao Peilin's final decision to take refuge in the Taiping Army was precisely because of this consideration
