Chapter 171: When Beijing Meets Berlin XXIV

Just like Lord Li Hongzhang asked in the recital, how can you repay virtue?

Now it has become the biggest heart disease in the Qing Dynasty.

Bao Jun went up to the trouble and handed a fold to the palace, which vaguely roughly meant that the Japanese ambassador in Beijing was begging his grandfather to tell his grandmother every day that the Qing and Japan were friendly and that they wanted to return the Ryukyus to the Qing Dynasty, and the contradiction between the Qing and the Japanese had been resolved.

Why don't we send a piece of land to Germany as well?

Regarding Bao Jun's words, the evaluation of officials in the Qing court is that he is really not a treasure master who is good at making treasures.

In the early years, Bao Jun just joined the military aircraft department as an errand officer, whenever he encountered the emergency military situation of the long-haired bandits, he liked to go out of Gong, so he was nicknamed out of treasure by his colleagues.

Today, I picked up the "treasure" again to talk about things, and the officials of the Manchu Dynasty are nothing more than satirizing Baojun, it is!

The contract that the Germans want to sign clearly states that they do not want to clear the reparations or clear the land. Or is it that the Qing Dynasty's national glory is too long?

Impeachment, impeachment of this national thief!

Now even the flag people know that these old men in the flag people are really not as good as the generation.

But the aunts and grandmothers in the banner people just don't recognize this evil!

At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, after the death of Emperor Shunzhi, the Qing Dynasty was in internal and external difficulties, according to Qing history, it was a Mongolian woman called Xiaozhuang, who stepped forward to save the Qing Empire.

Today's Daqing Dynasty is also stormy, and she is still a woman, standing up bravely!

"Sister, if you humiliate the country with Yan Chong's flattery, the court should take away his top ribbon flower feather, hand it over to the Criminal Department, and sentence him to a prison sentence!"

"Uncle Six's thing is not authentic, some words can only be thought in his heart, how can he say it, now he has not only offended the Germans, but also offended Hanchen, if there is no explanation for internal and external affairs, not only you and my sisters are worried, but even the emperor, I am afraid..."

"Sister, I mean, let the sixth uncle go to avoid the limelight first, after all, he is the most promising man in our Aixin Jueluo family, but we can't lose it in this matter because of this matter."

"When the matter is over, find a reason to recover the sixth uncle, it's not your sister's words."

"Sister, now that you have taken away the official position and fortune of the sixth uncle, not only do you feel sad, but I also can't bear it in my heart. But now this collapsed situation, if you don't do this, let Hanchen be satisfied, let the Germans be satisfied, and the sky of the Qing Dynasty will really collapse! ”

"If it weren't for the fact that the emperor was too young and didn't have a personal government, otherwise, my sister and I would desperately want the emperor to make the emperor edict, and I must not wronged the sixth uncle, who made the sixth uncle the most promising man in our family......"

When Cixi's words came to this, even if Ci'an couldn't bear Yixun in a thousand ways, he could only admit it with tears.

However, how many people who have lost their power can make a comeback? In the Qing Dynasty, after the fall of many officials, it was said that the phoenix with wings was not as good as a chicken!

Ci'an didn't know, but Cixi knew.

"Sister, you have a lot of ideas, and now the whole Qing Dynasty is asking, why do you repay virtue, what should we do?" Uncle's question was settled, but when he thought of the Germans, Ci'an's head hurt again.

"Repay virtue with virtue, repay virtue with profit! The amount of material resources of the Qing Dynasty is the joy of Germany! Cixi said categorically.

Daqing or the woman who loves the Xinjue Luo family is so courageous.

The women in charge of the house made the board, and everything was easy to do, and overnight, the Qing country was full of enthusiasm again, and everything between Qingde and Germany was on the fast track again.

Chonghou became the first stone to pave the way, and when the evidence of murder and homosexuality was conclusive, first of all, the German government declared Chonghou to be a person who was not popular with the German government, and after paying a bond of nearly 200,000 German gold marks, he would be repatriated.

After that, the Qing court announced that Yan Chonghou had misled the country and flattered the enemy, disobeyed the laws and disciplines of friendly countries, murdered scholars, and was sentenced to be beheaded and imprisoned.

As for the backbone of the Yixin Party, the Qing court directly announced that the Minister of Military Aircraft, Suo Xuanluo-Baojun, remembered his old age and decrepitudeness, specially recorded his previous labor, and retired with the original products. In fact, it is a direct dismissal.

The head of the household department is still in the book, and the military aircraft department walks Yan Za-Jing Lian Gong offset, and he is demoted two levels and quits the military aircraft department, and he still retains the original post of the household department; Li Hongzao and Weng Tonggong discussed the government in vain, and ordered them to withdraw from the Military Aircraft Department.

As for Prince Gong Yixun, aren't you sick, then stop the two kings, go to the post of prime minister, and recuperate at home.

Originally, it was the tenth year of Guangxu (1884), and the Jiashen Yishu only happened after the Qing-French War, but due to the intervention of the Germans, it was finally advanced by five years, and it happened in the fifth year of Guangxu.

Later generations said that in August 1879, Prince Gong and his party were expelled from the Military Aircraft Department and became their own and changed their heads.

In Cixi's view, the expulsion of Prince Gong and his party from the center was to fulfill her promise to Germany and repay virtue with virtue.

The Germans were confused when they saw the official letter sent by the Qing Dynasty, what does it mean that the Yisue party is the first offender to destroy the peace between Germany and Qingzhou? It's a bit of a delay, but it's not a crime, after all, some German officials sometimes do things more bureaucratic than that.

It's really annoying when the Qing Dynasty is procrastinating, but it's really scary, and it's really a mysterious country, so I can't understand it.

Forget it, Prince Yiyun's plan to repay virtue is too attractive, there are some things in the Qing Dynasty, Germany can't understand it, don't understand it!

Beijing City, West Foothills, Yuquan Mountain.

Among the royal gardens of the Qing Kingdom, one of the most famous three mountains and five gardens, in the Jingming Garden of Yuquan Mountain.

On August 18, 1878, Prince Heinrich, as the representative of the German Imperial Family, together with Minister Barland, the representative of the German Government, finally met the nominal supreme ruler of the Qing Empire, less than eight years old Aixin Jueluo Zaiyan, that is, the historical Guangxu Emperor.

The highest-level private meeting between Qingde and Germany was two months after Heinrich's first arrival in Beijing.

The explanation given by the Qing Prime Minister Yamen was that because this meeting was too important, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor of the Qing Kingdom ordered Qin Tianjian to choose a zodiac that could not be ecliptic, and an auspicious day could not be an auspicious day. After more than a month of careful deduction, Qin Tianjian chose such an auspicious day.

What the hell is going on, at least those who care about Germany and Qing know what happened between the Qing Dynasty and Germany in the past two months.

The French government looked confused and never understood why Britain, which had always flaunted glorious isolation, stood with the Germans and demanded that France compensate Germany 200 million francs, while the Russians also twisted and refused to lend a hand, even if it was to help the French government shout, "Europe needs peace, and Germany cannot bully France." ”

The dark clouds in the sky were the threat of war from the Germans, and they began to loom over the Elysée Palace on the grounds that French political cartoons were offensive to the Kaiser and the German government.

Prime Minister Frésine of the French Provisional Government sought the approval of President Grevy and, after the Germans threatened to war, implored the British government to mediate a possible war between France and Germany.

The British Conservative government also agreed to the French, saying that Foreign Minister Cecil was on his way to visit Germany, and promised that Britain would never sit on the European continent for war.

"This is the British oath?" Grevy pointed to the British mediation plan, changed his previous calmness, and said with rare excitement, "He talks about maintaining peace in Europe, but in action, he honestly supports the Germans to blackmail France with war!" ”

"The British claim to be a country of free speech, but they dare to demand press censorship in France, and the British want to play the role of God in French political life!"

"These ugly, untrustworthy Brits!"

"Your Excellency, the British have brought a hint of mediation at the same time as the British." Temporary Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Fresiné, after a pause, continued, "The British want us to sell them a stake in the Suez Canal, and the French troops and forces must also withdraw from Syria and Jerusalem, as well as from Djibouti. ”

"Well, Your Excellency, the British say that if France agrees to the above demand, the British will stand firm in their support for France in resisting the German aggression." Frésine was still a little weak-hearted after saying that, the British are not synonymous with honesty.

"Hahaha!" Grevi laughed, and no matter how he looked at it, he didn't think his president was happy.

"This is the true face of the English bandits, like a flock of vultures, always hovering over France, and will pounce when they have the opportunity!" Grevi clapped his hands and laughed.

President Grevy, who had laughed enough, finally regained his previous indifferent expression, and said as hard as a rock, "Syria, Djibouti and our stake in the Suez Canal are France's iron triangle to break the British vain attempt to completely control the Mediterranean, and it is also the iron hand that chokes the throat between the British mainland and India. ”

"These French overseas territories are the reason why France has regained its footing after the defeat in the Franco-Prussian War, and if you think about it, these greedy and ugly Brits, don't even think about it."

"And Jerusalem, let alone let the British interfere, although it is now the French Republic, not the French Empire, but Jerusalem is the legacy of French history to the Republic, especially the apologist represented by Jesus Salem, we must not give it up."

"If we give up the right to defend the church, it means that the justice of our rights and interests in the colonies and abroad has been questioned!" Grevy had no interest in the greed of the British.

"It seems that the British are unreliable, Charlie, didn't you also contact the Russians? What do they say, are they willing to stand with France? Grevi looked at Fresine, hoping to hear some good news.

"The Russians refused to publicly express their support for us, and the Tsar only said that Russia was not even willing to do any moral mediation in the conflict between Germany and France until the French government did not apologize for the offending European monarchs."

Fresine pulled out another piece of paper, "Our sympathizers in Moscow have delivered the news that the Russians, through German coordination, will most likely make a large sum of money from the Qing Kingdom, and are now waiting for the Germans to help cash it." Until the money arrives, the greedy Russians will not turn against the Germans. ”

"Qingguo?" Grevi was a little puzzled.

"Also, Your Excellency, there is unconfirmed information from London that the British are biased towards the Germans, and it seems that there is also an element of Qing in it." Fresiné also shook his head, still not understanding why the Qing Congress was involved in the problems between France and Germany.

"How can the support of the British and Russians for France have anything to do with the Qing State?" Grevy was stunned, and after struggling for a long time, he shook his head vigorously, and decided not to bother thinking about how a weak Qing empire could cause trouble to the great France in the conflict between Germany and France.

“........”

The people sitting in the presidential office of the Élysée Palace were habitually silent again.

"Anyway, the Germans are now running ahead of France!" Grevy finally recognized the current form of France, "Without the help of the British and the containment of the Russians, France could not defeat the Germans in any way." ”

"Four months ago, the situation in France was very good, and after April, the British and Russians were not willing to help France? What good will the defeat of France by Germany do to you, Britain and Russia? ”

"Don't you want France to admit defeat, I'll lose to you, and see who is in a hurry in the end!" Grevi made up his mind.

The democratic republican government has one thing, which is very good, saying that if you talk about going to war, you may not be able to start a war immediately, but when you say that you can admit it, you can immediately admit it.

"Charlie, get rid of this group of British and Russian idiots, you go to Berlin in person, and we will communicate directly with the Germans." Grevi said indignantly to Fresine, "The Germans want French money, but the British want to kill France, and I can only give money, because life is only once." ”

"The Germans want to apologize, no problem! The Germans want reparations, no problem! ”

"The editor-in-chief of the comic magazine can be tried, but it must be prosecuted by the French prosecutor, sentenced by the French court, and served in a French prison, and the Germans are never allowed to interfere in this, which is the bottom line of the French government."

"To reduce the Franco-German border, the number of French troops can be discussed, and the bottom line is that the number of troops stationed in the two countries must be the same, and the number of troops retained by each cannot exceed 150,000." Grevy glanced at Fresiné, "Tell the Germans that if the Germans agree to this request for a limit on the number of troops garrisoned, France can relax a little in the amount of reparations." ”

"As for asking France to legislate to implement censorship, tell the Germans that we do not accept this, that France is a free country, and that no other country will be allowed to interfere with France's legislative power."

"What if the Germans insist on censorship in France?" Fresine asked.

"If you insist...," Grevy said in a slow voice, "then tell the Germans that the French government will strengthen the administrative regulation of the news industry, but the legislative power is in the French Congress, and the French government cannot exceed its own authority." ”

"No, you can also make some fuss about the amount of compensation." "Money is not an issue as long as the Germans agree," Grevi whispered. ”
