People can keep it, but news can't be kept, not to mention that diplomatic information is encrypted, very simple encryption, but it can't be unlocked without a Kangxi dictionary.

The mission received the letter and wrote a reply for the messenger to take home immediately. At the same time, their situation has been sent to Paris through the channel of the consulate in Russia, and handed over to Lindy.

The head of the mission was named Huang Qiuwei. In addition to the two good sons, the Huang family is still the youngest lieutenant general in the Great Zhou army. Wen has this Huang Qiu, Wang Fuqian's evaluation of him is calm and resolute, and Zhou Lang's evaluation of him is that he was born with a big heart and was born to deal with big scenes.

In the past, when he was the governor of Guangxi, he worked diligently, appeased the displaced people, and encouraged farmers and mulberries, all of which a civil official could do, and he did all the things that a civil official could not do. He was brilliant when Zhou Lang ordered him to go south to Vietnam, he not only actively cooperated with the Guangxi auxiliary troops to go south, but also temporarily organized tens of thousands of displaced people from the cantonment and pressed them on the border, and the transportation of materials and supplies has never been interrupted.

Later, Chen Tianbao, the minister of the Xishan Dynasty and the Chinese pirate, felt that the general trend of the Xishan Dynasty had gone and went to China to surrender, which he accepted, but in a blink of an eye he sent Chen Tianbao back and asked him to contact the old ministers of the Xishan Dynasty. The reason why Nguyen Quang Truong surrendered when the Chinese army was approaching Thang Long (Hanoi, Vietnam) was because most of his civil and military ministers surrendered and urged him to submit to the Great Zhou. In this process, Huang Qiuwei has been guarding the border, and the correspondence with the ministers of the Xishan Dynasty has not been interrupted.

What's even more exciting is that after Zhou Lang divided Vietnam into two parts and the Red River Delta area was nominally handed over to Le Weikang, he was named the king of Nanyue, and he restored the Li Dynasty Sheji. Ruan Quang Zhang was named the Marquis of Shunyi, and moved directly to Beijing, where he was rewarded with a royal residence to live in. But in fact, Li Weikang is not in Vietnam most of the time, he also lives in Beijing, and the house of He Shen was rewarded to him.

The one who really presided over the affairs of South Vietnam was Huang Qiuhui all these years, and he carried the title of South Vietnamese Prime Minister, of course, through Li Weikang. Over the years, he has been working silently and subduing the top and bottom of the South Vietnamese country.

Of course, the production development of Nanyue is also very good, and with his experience in Guangxi, he encouraged silkworms to do very well, and the economic level of the Red River Delta has been greatly improved. He restored the abandoned water conservancy facilities in the area, and most importantly built many new irrigation projects, doubling the area under rice cultivation and increasing the yield by one and a half times. Most importantly, he recruited hundreds of thousands of immigrants from China on the grounds that South Vietnam had been in war for a long time and the people were withering, which greatly changed the demographic composition of the Red River Valley.

This kind of comprehensive ability is still quite outstanding, so after being transferred back to China, Zhou Lang called him to his side and edited him at the Hanlin Academy. This official position is not of high grade, and the power does not seem to be great, it is nothing more than helping the emperor sort out the manuscripts, deal with the paperwork and so on, which is equivalent to a secretary clerk.

But in fact, this position is very training, because he began to have access to information that he had not been able to contact before, and he was exposed to political news from all over the country before the emperor. A person who reads information from the perspective of the emperor for a long time often grows rapidly in terms of vision.

What's more, the information released by Zhou Lang, but the emperors of all dynasties have a lot, he not only has access to Chinese information, but also has a lot of foreign information, it can be said that for the first time in history, China's Hanlin Academy scholars began to touch foreign countries at a high density, and for the first time they began to look at problems from an international perspective.

Zhou Lang's selection of bachelors from the Hanlin Academy is different from the previous dynasty, no longer because of the good performance of the imperial examination to enter the Hanlin Academy, no matter how good you are, how well your articles are written, Zhou Lang has always insisted that officials must start from officials, and the term "officials" has long been abolished, but it retains the grade that can motivate people to improve.

In the most basic county government, the county order is the seventh grade, and the small officials in charge of the documents are the ninth grade, they are the same as the county order, they are born in the imperial examination, and then they must explore the specific work such as official document exchanges, prison proceedings, money and food expenditures for two years, and after two years, after the inspection (assessment), the qualified can be promoted, and sometimes the direct grade and position are promoted, if there is no suitable vacancy, you can only upgrade the grade first, and then continue to do the original work.

This system is not excellent, because he encourages step-by-step, but he is stable, he encourages people to be conscientious and not make mistakes, as long as they follow the process, there will be no problems. If there is a problem with the process itself, not the person. Reform the process to solve the problem, not start with people. Dead processes are easy to change, and volatile hearts are not easy to change.

Some people have already criticized officials for doing things in a step-by-step manner, sticking to procedures, sticking to rules, not being flexible enough, lacking vitality, and so on. But Zhou Lang knows that once the opening is opened, allowing officials to do things flexibly and allowing them to go beyond the regulations to display their abilities, it may not be able to achieve the purpose of encouraging innovation, and I am afraid that it will be a mess. Chinese brains are too flexible, so sometimes it is better to pursue rigidity.

Officials who climb up under a set of systems may not have much ability, but they are at least qualified, at least abide by the rules, and know that they can't do things that don't conform to the rules. But within the rules, in fact, there is still a lot of room to play, who said that officials can't do things if they follow the rules? The person who said this must be an official who doesn't want to be bound by the rules.

Huang Qiuwu climbed up in this kind of rule, there are a large number of people like him who have made a difference in local middle-level positions in the Hanlin Academy, and then accumulate learning time around the emperor to broaden their horizons, and then they will still be sent to local posts, often before entering the Hanlin Academy, they are at the prefect level, stay in the Hanlin Academy for two years, and then give birth to the governor. This is also a rule, written into the charter, but Huang Qiuwei stayed in the Hanlin Academy for two years, but did not decentralize, but was promoted to edit, and continued to stay in the Hanlin Academy and stay with the emperor.

This is his first trip to France to leave Nanjing in more than three years.

He was indeed very calm, and found that the Russians were making all kinds of excuses to keep them in Moscow, and the non-stop balls and banquets, and the incessant invitations to visits, just did not give them the paperwork to sign and distribute, so that he could not leave the journey.

Huang Qiuwei had already realized that something was wrong, and as for what was wrong, he had no information and could not judge, but the abnormality of the Russians made him feel that the situation was very serious.

In this case, he was not in a hurry to put pressure on the Russian diplomatic department, but remained silent and no longer urged, and when the Russians invited them to the ball, he went, invited them to visit the Russian palaces, collections, factories, and he went. But the situation has been secretly sent, and a reliable businessman has been secretly entrusted with multiple messages. For his part, he continued to make false contenders with the Russians in Moscow, accepting their offer to go to France after a meeting with the Tsar.

The news returned to Zhou Lang like this, and Zhou Lang was really dumbfounded after reading it.

Seizure of envoys? That's too bad!

At the same time, Zhou Lang immediately felt that something was going to happen.

Of course, it is not China that has the problem, but Russia is going to have an accident, and the Russians are blocking the Chinese delegation to negotiate with France, which means that they do not want China to communicate with France diplomatically.

However, Zhou Lang could not ignore this kind of behavior, and immediately notified the consuls of various countries, telling them that Russia had seized the Chinese mission, and China once protested to Russia.

The Russian consul resolutely denied it, thinking that there must be some misunderstanding, and asked Zhou Lang to provide evidence, but Zhou Lang could not produce evidence, and he did not think of showing evidence, he just let the consuls of various countries understand the fact that Russia may have seized the Chinese mission in order to put pressure on Russia.

As for the negotiations, there was no delay in that matter, because the envoys were not there to negotiate at all.

The real negotiators have now received news that the emperor has asked for negotiations through other channels.

Lin Di immediately met with the French Emperor, who had received information from Huang Qiuwei that the envoy might be detained in Moscow.

Lindy had already communicated with Napoleon once before, hoping that Napoleon would put pressure on Russia to allow the envoys to let them go.

But Napoleon did not seem to be very concerned about this matter, and after writing a letter to the Tsar, he did not accept Lindy's proposal, and asked Spain to immediately send a mission to Poland to make a sign that the two sides were going to negotiate in Poland.

This time, Lin Di really negotiated with Napoleon, or communicated, and he knew that the so-called negotiations were not as important as Napoleon's words.

Lindy said China demanded that Spain cede the Philippines, California and Montevideo. Napoleon did not bargain, but did not agree in full, he said that California and Montevideo could be given to China, but not the Philippines, and he was willing to exchange the port of Acapulco for Manila.

Napoleon's attitude was unquestionable, and he told Lindy that this was his decision and that there was no need to continue the discussion.

Napoleon was now becoming more and more difficult to communicate, and Lindy did not want to entangle him more, he had to talk to Napoleon about another matter, he demanded that France immediately gather all the Chinese officers who served in the French army, and he would arrange for them to return home.

As for what to do back home, Lindy told Napoleon that China needed their service, and Napoleon didn't ask anything else.

Because these people went back and served their homeland, obviously it was impossible for them to fight the Spanish colonies, where they were no longer needed to fight. Referring to Lindy's claim that Russia had seized the Chinese mission, it is not difficult for Napoleon to imagine the purpose of China's recall of these soldiers.

So of course he had to let it go, because soon France would probably have to do it against Russia.

After negotiating with Napoleon, Lindy quietly left Paris and transferred from Holland to England.
