As soon as the Austro-Hungarian Empire went to war, Britain was struggling to ride a tiger, and it was a difficult question whether to go left or right. Allowing Austria-Hungary to annex Serbia will inevitably lead to a great expansion of German and Austrian influence, and the situation in Europe will be completely out of control, and neither Russia nor France will agree. However, if Austria-Hungary is restricted, it will cause a full-scale confrontation in Europe, and Britain will have to make concessions to the Manchurian Empire, so that the Manchurian Empire will completely dominate Asia, and Britain's position as the world's number one will inevitably change hands.

Britain is all entangled! This is definitely the last chance to suppress the Manchurian Empire, if it is missed, the Manchurian Empire will be the dragon in the east, and no one will have the ability to challenge them anymore. However, if the situation in Europe gets out of control, Russia and France, as the number one victims, will never agree, and the British will lose two major helps. Moreover, Germany will also take advantage of the opportunity, and the fundamental places of the British Isles will be threatened by the Germans. No matter how you choose, the British are inevitably in pain. The best option is to go to all-out war and give the nasty guys a spoonful, but unfortunately both the Manchurian Empire and Germany have grown, and Britain does not have the ability to solve both of them at the same time. The British gentlemen had to have a headache and then met all night to try to come up with a way out, preferably politically rather than with troops.

The British are annoyed, and the Chinese are actually annoyed, of course, not Changchun, which is actively preparing for war, but Beijing, which is always undecided. Guoxinga's global strategy blossomed everywhere, and the British were instantly anxious, and Changchun of course looked forward to the imperial court being able to devote itself to the cause of chaos as soon as possible. However, the imperial court, which has always advocated that more things are better than less, really doesn't want to get involved in these bad things, and they just look at their own one-third of an acre of land. Several persuasions were blocked by Tai Chi, and Changchun immediately changed his mouth, from Ruoma to hard bubbles.

The Jiangnan Trade Zone, the Shanxi-Zhili Economic Zone, and the Tianjin Industrial Zone all needed the help of Manchuria, and the Qing Dynasty's military construction also needed the help of Guoxing'a. Now the money bags, industrial base, and armed forces of the Qing Dynasty are inseparable from the Manchurian elder brother, and the elder brother couldn't resist it as soon as he pressured the eldest brother. What's worse is that the Qing Dynasty is now at war with the French, and it is even more urgent for the support of the elder brother. Therefore, in the face of Changchun's frequent pressure, Cixi and the cardinals were all on pins and needles, and they could not help but consider how to adjust their attitudes.

"Sixth master, Changchun asked us to support the war between Ossi and Serbia, and we also let the eldest prince of the Zeng family support it, but Changchun still refuses to let go. Lao Wu sent a telegram again, asking us to announce the resumption of suzerainty over Southeast Asian countries, this is a major matter that offends Britain and France, you see what to do! "It's okay for the unfathomable Seventh Master Yixun to engage in power struggle, but when it comes to the military plan, he really doesn't work, Cixi only counted on Li Hongzhang but felt that he didn't have the bottom line, and he invited Yi Yi, who had just been driven home, back.

Cixi is very talented, but she also has a lot of weaknesses, but a good old lady can bend and stretch this, and she does it very well. In the face of Yi Yi who returned again, Cixi's posture was very low, and the black pot that drove Yi Yi home last time was also thrown by her to her brother-in-law and brother-in-law Yi Xun very simply. No matter how the wind direction changes, Cixi can always be like a fish in water, and the two little uncles take turns to carry the black pot for her, which can be regarded as a blessing in life.

"Since Yunxian became independent, he has conquered Russia and Japan, fought against Britain, and has been invincible in several wars, which can be described as a powerful world. The first battle in the Yellow Sea inflicted heavy damage on the Yingyi Far East Fleet, and the great powers were all shaken. Yi Yi didn't get to the point, but praised Guoxing's prestige over the years.

"What does the sixth master mean...... Should we accept Lao Wu's suggestion, take advantage of the weakness of Yingyi, and Fayi is at war with me, and take back the countries of Southeast Asia in one fell swoop? Li Hongzhang nodded slightly, but Cixi, Yiyun and the others were confused, and could only guess in the general direction.

"Yingyi suffered heavy losses in the first battle of the Yellow Sea, and although Yunxian won, the losses were not much smaller than Yingyi. However, both sides have spare strength, Yingyi's family is strong, and Yun Xian also has great potential, they are all fighting hard and ready to start a full-scale war at any time. However, at the moment, both sides are not ready, on the one hand, they are actively preparing for war, and on the other hand, they still need some time to arrange their troops. Yingyi is busy stabilizing the rear of Europa, and Yun Xian has to try to contain it, and South Seas, West Asia, South Africa, and Latin America are all the result of Yun Xian's operation. Now Yun Xian has repeatedly asked the imperial court to take back the suzerainty of Southeast Asian countries, and his intention is the same, hoping that the imperial court will be the first bird and create trouble for Yingyi for him. As soon as the connoisseur made a move, he knew if there was any, and Yi Xun, who was in the center, led a group of horses to study every day without any results, and Yi Yi, who was squatting at home, immediately saw the cause and effect when he came back.

"Old Five, do you want the court to prevent disasters for him?" Cixi didn't want to give people a back, and when she heard that she was going to make herself a bird, she was upset.

"It's not enough to block the disaster, Yun Xian wants the imperial court to divide part of Yingyi's strength, but the big scene of real swords and real guns must be on top of them themselves." Yi Yi felt that Cixi sometimes seemed to be suffering from persecution paranoia, and people were competing for the position of the world boss, so we might let you go to prevent the disaster! After winning, the position of the world's boss is yours or mine!

"The court will never come out for his fifth child, let him solve the matter that the fifth child brought back by himself, and he must not affect the court! The sixth master still planned properly, and found a way to reject Changchun! "Cixi's little widow's strength has risen, and Guo Xing'a wants to take advantage of her, but there is no door.

"Yun Xian has always been guided by the situation, and there is no time when it is difficult for a strong man, this time he let the court come out, and the court has to come out!" Yi Yi shook his head helplessly, and the corners of Li Hongzhang's mouth moved slightly. Guoxing is not familiar with the world, but Cixi does not understand the overall international situation. If these two people can be synthesized into one, they can be a generation of heroes, but unfortunately they are two people, and they can only be one who is not as good as a man, and the other is calculating.

"If the court doesn't allow it, can the fifth child still use force against the court?" Cixi was not worried about anything else, but was afraid that Guo Xing'a would directly use force to coerce.

"How so? The relationship between Guanwai and the imperial court is harmonious, how can Yun Xiangong use force against the imperial court. Li Hongzhang couldn't help but persuade Cixi out loud.

"Why did the sixth master say that the imperial court had to come out?" In this kind of military affairs, Cixi still trusts capable people like Li Hongzhang and Yi Yi very much, so as soon as Li Hongzhang said that Guo Xing'a would not use force, she immediately believed it, but Yi Li's sentence "I have to" made her really afraid.

"Yun Xian's actions in South China, West Asia, South Africa, Latin America and other places are only intended to contain the British, he just gave some aid, without any promises, and never did any coercion, why did the locals respond? It's just because Yingyi is also the enemy of the locals, and the locals are the first birds for Yun Xian, in fact, for their own welfare. They raised troops to make trouble and made profits, but they themselves were the biggest beneficiaries. Yi Yi did not say why the imperial court had to accept Guo Xing's suggestion, but first talked about the precedents of other places, which can be regarded as giving Cixi a few examples.

Yun Xian suggested that the imperial court take back the suzerainty of Southeast Asian countries, which would be beneficial to the imperial court, and if the imperial court refused, it would fall into a very passive situation. So this is the first bird, the court has to do it. After a few eye contacts, Yi Yi knew that Li Hongzhang was his bosom friend, so he didn't say it very thoroughly, so as not to fall behind in front of Li Hongzhang.

"What's the benefit of doing it, and what's the harm of not doing it?" Cixi understood the same, but several military planes in the center were still confused, and Yiyun asked directly.

"The countries of Southeast Asia were originally vassals of our Celestial Empire, and the British and French people stole the territory for a long time, and the imperial court did not take any measures, which not only greatly lost the face of the imperial court, but also allowed the British and French to take advantage of a lot. Nowadays, all countries are embellished with the word China in front of the country name to express their admiration for China, but it is no longer because of the Celestial Empire, but because of Manchuria. Now that Yingyi is entangled with Yunxian, and Fayi is at war with the imperial court, it is a good time for the imperial court to recover the countries in one go. If you win, the imperial court will rebuild the state, collect all the high-fat offerings of the southeast countries, and if you lose, you will have a cloud and idle to take over, and deal with the British and French powers, which is really a good thing with no harm and no harm! Yi Yi is really speechless about his naïve brother, how did he become the emperor's father?

"If you don't do it, how will the situation of the imperial court be passive?" In terms of benefits, after Yi Yi explained, all the cardinals nodded again and again, but where the harm was, everyone still didn't think of it. Moreover, the cardinals who are bent on living their own small lives do not have the slightest enterprising spirit, and they want to take advantage of it, but they want to live a comfortable life more than to wade into the troubled waters outside.

"When this situation is promising, if the imperial court does not take any measures, it will not only be underestimated by the countries of the world, but also outside the Chinese system. With the exception of Korea and Lanfang, all the countries of China are concentrated in the southeastern countries. North Korea and Lanfang are the first to look forward, and the southeastern countries are all going to raise troops to fight against Britain and France for their own survival, but the imperial court is out of the way, and what face will there be to see the vassal of neighboring countries in the future. "Yi Yi thinks very thoroughly, Daqing is already very bad, if a group of younger brothers around him don't care about Daqing anymore, how will Daqing live in the future!

"Draw up the will! But let's not send troops yet, except to announce the world, we don't want to make any moves, and see how Britain and France react. After the power is generated, a list will be made for Changchun immediately, and the imperial court needs all-round assistance such as funds, food, and weapons, so that the fifth child can come out with some sincerity. Cixi began to shake her wit again, she wanted to take advantage of the cheapness, and she had to avoid the harm that Yi Yi said, but she didn't bear the head-on conflict with Britain at all.

The will of the Qing court was handed down, and Cixi also felt that she had deployed well, but no one expected that the British would take the lead and directly use force.
