Tang Dianfeng sat on a tiger skin chair in the lobby of his prime minister's mansion, looking at the British envoy, John Portman, the envoy of the Indian Governor General from India, who was brought from India by Charlie Ding, a bearded, tall, thin, fair-skinned, with yellow-orange eyes like a black cat, with a blue circle around the eyeballs, and a hint of blue light on the eyes, wearing an English-style tuxedo, a top hat, and a staff of civilization.

The palm of the hand holding the cane is wide and long, the bone joints are protruding, like a powerful steel bar, the other party is looking at him very seriously, if he hadn't also fought and killed people, and at the same time had many years of military career, and became a general in many places to defend the city and the logistics quartermaster of the material deployment of the Huaxia Army, and also was in charge of the wartime civil affairs of the cities in various places, and he encountered all kinds of things that he needed to deal with, all kinds of people have seen it, and he also carried out the cleanup of many British and Western allied prisoners of war, I've seen a lot of foreigners, and he's really scared by each other.

John Portman looks like a man-eating jackal, the Huaxia army is now carrying out the war of cleaning up the various tribes and tribes that are not Han people on the border of Nepal and Tibet, and using the people of the states of the Western Regions and the Viceroyalty of Southeast Asia to build fortifications, this is the second phase of the campaign of the blockade of India launched by Huaxia, the third phase of the campaign, Merlin Fish is organizing manpower to carry out the reconnaissance and exploration of the geographical location in the early stage, as well as the situation on the enemy's side, An attack on the place of the Pakistan Railway of the future is about to be launched.

The Afghan side had already been recovered by Feng Wuyu's army during the War to Liberate the Western Regions, and then after Hu Ze's cavalry army took over, he sent garrisons and guards to garrison it, and after two or three years of governance, there were basically no people from Central Asia or the Western Regions who were not Han Chinese.

They were all sent to Siberia, where they were completely depleted in the war between the Qing Dynasty and the Russian expeditionary force.

Just like the ongoing clean-up of the Indians in the United States right now.

It was 1705, the Americans were still making profits for the British, and it was still an American colony, and it was not until 1775 that the Americans launched a rebellion against the British colonization, and finally the United States was established after ten years.

There is still more than half a century to go, but they are not soft on the Indians.

It is impossible to live in peace, if the Chinese Empire is still these people now, it will not necessarily go to expand its territory, it must have been a mess internally, and a new dynasty will be established, there will be no momentum to move forward, and then like the Northern Song Dynasty, but a territory the size of a sea bowl, there is no in the Northeast, most of Hebei does not, there is still a part of Shanxi ruled by the Liao State and the Western Xia, most of Shaanxi is still the Western Xia, the south may not necessarily obey you, so you will be the emperor complacently, and then you will not go to the south to fight in the north, and play a glass of wine to release the military power, Put the generals in a cage.

Disrespecting the military is a natural disadvantage and character defect of the Han or Chinese people.

Always want to use the literati method to control the generals, but in the end let themselves become weak, Confucianism says to be modest, the mean is to achieve a certain balance between the left and right, but they are extremely tilted, when the balance is brought back, it is a time when the dynasty falls.

This point of the Chinese Empire is very good, the reduction of troops, but not the reduction of generals, not afraid of war, always let the Chinese Empire have a war to fight, exercise the combat level of the Chinese Empire, and maintain the generals can get continuous combat experience accumulation, otherwise many years later, even the famous generals will become the keyboard warriors or Zhao Kuo on the Internet in later generations, and they can only talk on paper, once they encounter the enemy, they will be defeated like a mountain.

Such an action of the Chinese Empire finally made the British unable to sit still, and in three months, they came to the Chinese Empire from the Indian Governor to see His Majesty the Emperor, but Zhang Qiang did not want to talk to them at all, and Gu Yuesheng could not come forward, so he was received by the first vice minister Tang Dianfeng.

was already the prime minister, but Gu Yuesheng could still sit for a few years, and some things had to wait for Gu Yuesheng to finish before he could take over, so nominally he could already decide many things in the Chinese Empire.

Portman was angry at him as soon as he came, condemning the Chinese Empire for encroaching on Britain's colonial interests, and requiring the Chinese Empire to compensate Britain for its losses, and return the occupied places, and cede a part of the land to Britain, such a thing, Tang Dianfeng couldn't agree even if he could decide, not to mention, Zhang Qiang They had already decided, before they completely gained the advantage, all contacts were just to delay the British, perfunctory British, anyway, the time was already in the boat, the British sea strength was not as good as Huaxia, on land, Huaxia can remobilize 10 million troops in one year, and all of them have combat experience, and mobilize 20 million troops capable of fighting in three years.

From the first batch of millions of troops to the assembly on the border, the Chinese Empire only needed three months, because there was a railway system, as well as fast clippers to transport and transmit news, as well as various sections of the canal that were still dredging and rebuilding, and nearly 3 million troops stationed on the border, the main elite force also had as many as 500,000, and the full elite troops that could reach the Indian front line or other fronts within a month also had 100,000 troops. The British simply could not compete with the Chinese Empire.

With such strength, if it can still be talked about the Great Qing Dynasty or the Northern Song Dynasty in history, or the situation when the Tang Dynasty was founded, then Tang Dianfeng and their cabinet and many generals of the Ministry of Defense of the Privy Council can find a piece of tofu and kill them.

Tang Dianfeng just smiled and looked at Portman, compared to Portman, he had experienced wars, and also participated in the uprising against the Qing Dynasty at the end of the Ming Dynasty, received the uprising, and after attaching to Zhang Qiang, his development in the Huaxia Army was good, he was a general, a prefect, a prefect, a governor, a cabinet secretary, and he also had the identity of a superintendent in the court, with rich experience, a junior like Portman, in his eyes, there was nothing to be proud of, or very easy to deal with.

In fact, there is nothing, the Chinese Empire has always been a tough style, never weak, dissatisfied, we will fight, the British are looking for someone to negotiate, instead of going back to gather troops to attack the Chinese Empire, and even dare not provoke at the border, this is a weak heart, the performance of poor strength, if you can get it back in the mouth, this is simply impossible in the Chinese Empire, Zhang Qiang of the Chinese Empire will not do anything, but there is one thing he will.

Say no, I won't lift the table, draw a knife, the knife is the most effective.

So to deal with someone like Portman, Tang Dianfeng won't even move his brain, just let it play, anyway, in the end, it will be a tough counterattack, let the British themselves lower the conditions, and take the initiative to follow the footsteps of the Chinese Empire.
