Chapter 570: A big quarrel in the study

"Hehehehehe. Li Guolou did the imperial history of the right capital of the Imperial Palace. It's still quite qualified. Returning to Beijing has made some progress." Prince Alcohol, who had been silent, suddenly spoke. It seems that the hot scene of the right talent does not exist. Talking to himself and laughing. Reconcile the scene of sword drawing. Let the embarrassing scene ease up somewhat.

Li Guolou fell to the ground. Motionless. He bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty. Ministers deserve death. Angered the master. But the minister still has to say. Modern warfare first looks at the comprehensive strength of the country. The first reference is steel. A year's steel production in our country. Appalling. The gap with the UK is more than 100 times. If you want to exclude low-grade products. The gap with the UK is 10,000 times. Steel production can't go up. There is no talk of taking the road of industrialization. The strength of the armies of various countries. It is possible to discharge a strong or weak with steel production. Emperor. You take this data. You can see how big the gap is between the Qing Dynasty and the Western powers. Want to catch up with the industrialization progress of Western countries. I haven't even taken the first step. Talk about how to revitalize the Qing Dynasty. The introduction of the mechanism has not wavered for a hundred years. The reform of the Qing Dynasty required a peaceful external environment. Fight with flesh and steel. It doesn't matter if you win or lose. It will do too much harm to China's opening up to the outside world."

Li Guolou. You and Li Hongzhang breathe out of one nostril. and about the steel mills; Wars depend on the unity of kings and ministers. Soldiers use their lives. Guan Gong's loyalty and righteousness 'spirit' endures. My Eight Banners has gone through the baptism of artillery fire in the past few years. Defeat the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Defeat the Knife Club. Defeat the Twisters. Defeat the Hui army. restored the glory of his ancestors. Become a strong team of eight banners that can fight well. We're going to be able to defeat the British. Emperor. This king is willing to go to Yunnan. Personally command the battle. Please let the emperor do it." Prince Qing made a generous statement. An expression of a strong man who will never return.

Li Guolou almost laughed. Keep your head down and smile. He thinks that no one has seen him.

Li Guolou. What are you laughing at. Do you look down on me?" Emperor Tongzhi on the dragon chair stared at Li Guolou tightly. A pair of thin eyes is like two knives. cut Li Guolou to the ground.

Li Guolou was frightened. Lying on the gold bricks. replied: "Your Majesty. Ministers deserve death. You shouldn't make fun of Prince Qing, who doesn't know soldiers. The Eight Flags are able to play. However, modern warfare is a contest of weaponry and logistical support capabilities. There is also the consumption of fighting fighters. Kill 3,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself. Immutable truths. Great Northwest Wins Again and Again. It's all bought with the blood of warriors. The lost soldiers were made up by prisoners of war and the returning army anyway. So it seems that our casualties are very small. The enemy is vulnerable. The real situation is that our army suffered heavy casualties. is several times the number written on the fold. May I ask Prince Gong, do you know how many soldiers and horses there are in the Eight Banners Force? How many of them can fight? And how many soldiers and horses. It's just a number that exists in the roster. Do you know how many British troops there are in India, Burma, Singapore, Hong Kong? If you provoke the 'hairy' British. Prince Qing your iron hat. Is it worthy of the thousands of miles of the Qing Dynasty?"

Prince Qing was furious. He's just pretending. Pledge loyalty to Emperor Tongzhi. Everyone knows that he is a great talent who educates others. Who will lead the army to war? Li Guolou actually made fun of him. It's so faceless. He was treated as a soft persimmon. Regret not talking 'nonsense'. was grabbed by Li Guolou. The arrogance was knocked out by Li Guolou. But he doesn't admit defeat on the lips. Spit splashed: "Li Guolou. You're a coward. Scrooge is you. In vain, the king still looks up to you."

"It's easy to lose. It's hard to keep your home. The slave is the 'door' dog for the emperor. Who can help me." Li Guolou is a scoundrel. actually carried out the signboard of Emperor Tongzhi. In front of the loyal ministers, the original form is 'dew', a villain's face. It also allows two ministers and a prince to have steps to go down. I can't get angry with my minions. He's a laughing and scolding dog minion.

"Your Majesty. Li Guolou is a minister. Criticize Prince Qing in person. Sin is not punishable. It must not be because Li Guolou is the right capital of the Imperial Palace. And let it be. Connivance of national law. Family law service." Li Hongzao seemed to be reprimanding Li Guolou. Obviously shielding Li Guolou. Admonish the Tongzhi Emperor. Li Guolou has the right to attack any official. The Metropolitan Procuratorate has a bunch of officials. It's a dog that bites. Which official was targeted by the Metropolitan Procuratorate? That's a crowd attacking it. Don't want to 'mess around' in officialdom. Even if it's a prince. and be exposed. Ugly things are written on the fold. Recorded in the annals of history. Let the royal scandal come to light.

Weng Tong Zheng Zheng iron bones. An expression that would rather die than give in. shouted angrily: "Li Guolou. Prince Qing said you are a miser. There is nothing wrong with that. Don't think that you will be able to pay 3 million taels of taxes. Please come in to the bank's layout in the country. It is the two queen mothers who are far-sighted. A good foundation for the emperor's pro-government. Without the full support of the emperor. You can't make a name for yourself. Now you've made a fortune. You should share your worries for the emperor."

Li Guolou knelt on the ground and smiled bitterly. There is money for thieves to remember. Weng Tongyi actually hinted in the upper study that he would pay for the state to 'pay' the compensation for "Margaret Case". What a vicious Weng Tongyi. He does not support the idea of the main battle of the Qing School. I want him to destroy his wealth and eliminate disasters. This opening must never be opened. Otherwise, there will be endless troubles. The six books of Shangshu are going to break through the 'door' threshold of his house. Li Guolou gritted his steel teeth and said, "Your Majesty. Family members of the minister set up banks, businesses. No state financial subsidies are used. All rely on private fundraising. There are rules for doing business. The treaty states that half of the profits from the incoming bank are to be 'paid' to the state. Patriotic businessmen are also willing to 'pay' more taxes. Taxes are more than forty percent higher than other businesses. There is also no regret in the execution. Follow the trajectory of this year's development. Banks and businesses founded by family members. Next year's tax will be more than four million taels of silver. This is the confidence that can only be achieved by the development of good business 'sex'. These enterprises relied on the restructuring of the Qing Dynasty. In order to make the cycle of good 'sex' bigger and bigger. It is no exaggeration to say that. The state needs the business of the retainers to become stronger. Contribute greatly to the country. Other non-conforming practices. Don't mention it again. There is an external space for the development of good 'sex'. to go further. Only then can the Qing Dynasty completely change the situation of backwardness and beating. Visionary ministers. There shouldn't be this idea of killing 'chickens' to get eggs."

Emperor Tongzhi knew about Li Guolou's difficulties. The wild goose plucked the 'feathers' of the lesson. He also hated pain. The same was told to him. Li Guolou secretly supported Prince Gong's restructuring. Please come in and the bank to allocate a large amount of money to the Prime Minister's Ya'men to expand the Tongwen Museum in Beijing and coastal cities. In preparation for the official assignment to stay abroad. The Westerners want money and money. Someone to be served.' Spend 'blood to win over students. The power in the court is even greater. Now the conservatives and the puritans are united. Nor is it an opponent of the Westerners.

The art of the emperor is to check and balance the power of the ministers. We must not let the Westernists dominate. So the Tongzhi Emperor was happy to see that the courtiers were not in harmony. This time Li Guolou is back. It's to knock Li Guolou. The alarm bell rings. In order to achieve long-term peace and stability.

"Hmm. Weng Tong is old. For the country and the people. Li Guolou is young and vigorous. Get ahead of history. You're both my humerus. Take care of the country for me. That makes sense." Tongzhi Emperor knife cut tofu on both sides of the light. Help not help relatives. Refusal to show attitude.

Prince Qing's anger has not disappeared. I saw the Tongzhi Emperor sitting still. Then there's still a chance. Won't give up. Pretending to be indignant.' Quite ''chest' bulging belly said: "Your Majesty. Li Guolou folk call him a fake foreign devil. It's a weapon triumphant through and through. Look down on the precious 'spirit' wealth left by our ancestors. Suitable talent Li Guolou said. It's all a rat's eye. Not from a national standpoint. The First World War knocked down the arrogance of the Western imperialist countries. Create a peaceful external environment for our country. War is fundamental. And is the means. To negotiate with the British with such a mentality. We won't suffer. This king held Weng Tonggong to preside over coastal defense. It belongs to the Beiyang Ya' 'Gate' and takes over the position of the Governor of Zhili. Li Hongzhang has too many errands. Can't take care of it. This is why the Margaret case is subject to the British Minister Wittoma everywhere. Li Hongzhang has exhausted his thoughts and has become a hollow candle. Exhausted of physical strength and ability. Let's be his prime minister. Weng Tonggong can be of great use. It's a pity to put it in the criminal department."

To fight a snake, you have to hit seven inches. Prince Qing knew that Li Guolou's holy family was in the thick of it. Only then did he 'pay' more than 3 million taels of taxes to the imperial court. Emperor Tongzhi still remembers the benefits of Li Guolou. Just smash the yellow dragon. Knock down Li Guolou's backstage. Although the odds of success are slim. But sell a good one to Weng Tongyi. In the future, we will advance and retreat together with the Qing school.

Emperor Tongzhi is not confused in major matters. Li Hongzhang is Fu Xiang. He is the head of the Han officials. How can you start Li Hongzhang's errand in a study meeting. Besides, Li Hongzhang's ability is much stronger than Weng Tongxiao. He is the minister he relies on the most. A verbal warning is enough. Emperor Tongzhi glanced at Weng Tongyong's eagerly expectant face. Expressionlessly, he said, "Prince Qing. The system of appointment and dismissal of court officials is to do things according to the rules. Li Hongzhang is distinguished by meritorious service. Only then did I entrust the burden of the country to Li Hongzhang. How can you do it for the sake of something that is still inconclusive? Just blame Li Hongzhang alone. Li Guolou, what do you say?"

"The Emperor Shengming. With the foresight of the Holy Grandfather. Li Hongzhang's groveling to foreigners is also for the long-term peace and stability of the Qing Dynasty. It is because Li Hongzhang follows peaceful coexistence. Let it be beneficial to foreigners. This is what makes foreigners open their hearts. Sold us the most advanced guns and guns, as well as the largest and best cruisers. Those manufacturing bureaus. The arsenal can also hire foreign technicians. Ready-made industrial drawings. We can get it too. The Industrial Revolution of the Qing Dynasty. With the efforts of our generation. Finally see the light of day. Otherwise, foreigners will still implement an embargo policy on industrial equipment in our country. How can manual work be compared to a steam engine? The Qing Dynasty needed advanced industrial technology from the West. As the saying goes, you can't have it both ways. We are now 'spending' money to buy peace. It's about 'spending' money on industrial technology. I learned to be an apprentice. The master is waiting to starve to death."

Li Guolou's rogue tone made the people in the study smile. A few little eunuchs picked up the broken porcelain bowl that had fallen on the ground. And he wiped the floor clean. The atmosphere was as peaceful as it had been at the beginning.

Li Guolou. Get up and speak." Emperor Tongzhi smiled slightly. There is a lot of fear in the heart of the British. After all, he still didn't want to go to war with the British. But I don't want to be a faint king who signs a traitorous treaty. I want to be a good gentleman. The long wait made him lose his patience. The seeds of impulsiveness grow into the fighting yuang.I can't control my desire to have a contest with the British.A hundred years of national shame.

"Piercing." Li Guolou hasn't knelt for a long time. After kneeling for a while, my legs went numb. Turn over and stand still. said: "Your Majesty. The minister has something to say. This time negotiate with the British. It's on the basis of not fighting. Rounds of negotiations. There's still room for manoeuvre. If it's a real fallout. It is a fatal blow to the restructuring of our country. Even if the British lost the battle. Our external sea transportation lines must be blocked. The Russians have also coveted the northern territories of our country for a long time. is still 'confusing' and 'Meng' the ancients betrayed the Qing Dynasty. The French again occupied the southern territories of Annam. Still messing around with the Mekong River in Siam. Burma and India have become British colonies. The environment around us is even harsher. To survive in such a hostile environment. Only Taoguang is strategic. In front of foreigners. Groveling to be an inferior yellow race. But the ostrich policy cannot be enforced. Ignore the external environment. The days of believing that the Celestial Empire were superior are long gone. Recognize your own weakness. It's to catch up. Please give the emperor another ten years. Let the minister show his ambitions. Assist Prince Gong and Li Hongzhang in the restructuring policy. Improve the foundation of the Qing Dynasty. Build a prosperous and powerful Qing Empire. Please let the emperor do it."

Listened to Li Guolou's words. Emperor Tongzhi's mentality eased. There's no need to worry about the gains and losses of one thing. Have a big picture. The reform of the Qing Dynasty remained unchanged. The five-year national economic plan remains unchanged. The ten-year plan to enrich the country and strengthen the army remains unchanged. Keep up with the pace of industrial development in the West as soon as possible. Build the Qing Dynasty into a large industrialized country.

It seems that the ten-year agreement with Li Guolou cannot be changed. Within ten years, the Qing Dynasty did not turn against foreigners. The time has not yet come for a big fight. The Qing Dynasty is still a little hot. The Westernists said no. It just doesn't work. The claims of the Qing school do not correspond to the reality of the Qing Dynasty. Readers will only speak in the vernacular. Rhetoric is used for fart. Li Hongzhang, Zuo Zongtang, Wen Xiang and other military ministers who led the troops did not advocate fighting with the British. The Minister of Military Aircraft, Prince Alcohol, did not take a stand. Or a tumbler. Attitude is copied and copied. Let him make up his own mind. Only Weng Tonggong voted in favor of the war. This battle cannot be won.

Emperor Tongzhi recognized the situation. Continue to lie dormant in the Forbidden City. Let Prince Gong, Li Hongzhang, and Li Guolou represent the Westernists to lead the Qing Dynasty in the restructuring. The national policy of the Qing Dynasty remained unchanged. Renewal of the Traitor's Treaty. Flattering foreigners. Damage to national self-esteem. Lie on the salary and taste the courage to live a hard life.

Li Guolou. Wait a while to report to the Prime Minister's Ya' Gate. Take over the negotiations. Do everything you can to make the British a little more restrained. Rationalize the treaty. It is in the interests of the people of both countries. I have high hopes for you. Of course, we must also be prepared to talk about it. Tomorrow there will be a meeting of the Military Aircraft Department. Wenxiang is not in good health. Don't let him participate. As for the vacant personnel . Let Li Guolou listen."

Emperor Tongzhi suddenly changed his tune. Let Li Guolou sit in on the military meeting of the Military Aircraft Department. The faces of the people present changed in vain. Even Li Guolou didn't expect Emperor Tongzhi to change when he said that he would change. His grace has reached an unsurpassed level. Let him enter the military aircraft department to study military affairs. Train him as a Minister of War. In the future, he will be Wei Qing of the Great Qing Kingdom. To open up territory for the Tongzhi Emperor.

"Piercing." Li Guolou flicked his horseshoe sleeves. Next, there will be another official seal on his waist. It's as if no one has taken his official seal. When he arrives, the people of the ya' don't want him to go. It's also pitiful to be a modern version of Heshen. Even the monk didn't let him go through the 'door'. In a few days, I will go to give a gift to Prince Qing. Accompany a no. An excerpt from "Bringing Harmony". He's already mastered it. The drama can also be memorized.
