Heinrich's friendship with Qingguo Qingliu is actually due to Zhang Peilun's efforts.

Prince Gong's mansion shrank and did not move, but this does not mean that the people of the entire Qing Kingdom are willing to accept the status quo. Soon, Heinrich and his entourage, under the impetus of people with intentions in the Qing State, embarked on a thrilling adventure in the eyes of the ordinary people of the Qing State.

Starting from a swaggering visit to the inner city, then a fantasy trip to the south city, then to Yanqing in the north to visit the Ming Dynasty Great Wall ruins, and finally to Tangshan to see the opportunity of German mining cooperation, and then to the Qing Dongling.

It is not an exaggeration for a foreigner to walk freely in the inner city of Beijing, and according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, it is not an exaggeration to be charged with the crime of attempting to kill the king and assassinate him, let alone a large group of Germans visiting the inner city at will.

But in the "Shuntian Times", under the pen of Zhang Peilun, it immediately became a family of the German and Manchurian people, and the German prince and the Manchu banner people were heart-to-heart.

A large group of foreigners strolling around the Bada Hutong in the southern city and drinking flower wine are depicted as Germans carefully observing the customs and folklore of the Qing Dynasty, listening to operas, rubbing baths, and eating with the grassroots masses, and then condolences to the hard-working entertainment workers by the way, which is to mingle with the grassroots masses of the Qing Dynasty.

There was no official defense document to run to the Great Wall, and even the old dragon head of Shanhaiguan who crossed the state and crossed the prefecture was described as the Germans rushed to the battlefield where the Qing Dynasty fought, personally remembering the martyrs and heroes when the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, and paying tribute to the battle of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty.

Running to the Qing Dynasty Dongling to play, this kind of rebellious thing, was successfully whitewashed, the German prince and his entourage, thousands of miles to the Qing Dynasty Emperor Kangxi Mausoleum, to the greatest emperor in the history of the world to express infinite sorrow.

In fact, some people just say that these places are fun, and Heinrich and the German naval officers and sailors are just adhering to the German tradition of loving tourism to enjoy the natural and cultural landscapes.

can not stand Zhang Peilun's good writing, the article written in the "Shuntian Times", as soon as it came out, Luoyang paper in the capital was immediately expensive, and everyone had a thought, God, it turns out that the Germans love Daqing so much! Have face, good!

Li Hongzhang, the governor of Zhili, who was far away in Tianjin, couldn't help but slap the newspaper when he saw this scene, and exclaimed, "Yushan, the original Qingliu's mouth was powerful enough, but I didn't expect Qingliu's mouth to use this foreign thing of a foreigner, and it was even more powerful!" ”

"It seems that there are people in Germany who understand the Qing Dynasty, and this trick is good!"

"But compared to Brother Gradual's sending people, letting the storyteller in the teahouse talk about the newspaper is still almost meaningless!" Zhou Fu quipped.

"The carving insect skill is just the carving insect skill." Li Hongzhang waved his hand proudly, "But running a newspaper, running a newspaper in Beiyang, is about to be put on the agenda, not only early, but also fast!" ”

"Yes, is it okay to let Brother Zishou handle this matter? The book "Kifu Tongzhi", Brother Zishou cultivated it very well. Zhou Fu asked tentatively.

"Huang Pengnian has knowledge, that is, he is too square, I have seen the methods of the Germans and the Spring and Autumn Period of Youqiao's pen, and it is still necessary for a sleek person to run a newspaper."

"It's better to let my junior brother Xue Shuyun do this at the same time." Li Hongzhang thought about it again and again, and said slowly.

Xue Fuchengzi Shuyun, since Li Hongzhang established the Beiyang Shogunate, has been responsible for drafting the chapter and the letter, and is the most important sword and pen official in the Beiyang Shogunate. In the first half of this year, Li Hongzhang beat the Englishman Hurd's recital, which was written by Xue Fucheng.

Today, the matter of Zhili and the Beijing newspaper was all entrusted, and Xue Fucheng did not taste the taste of rewards.

The matter of the newspaper was decided, and Zhou Fu asked again, "The Germans sent an official document to confirm through the General Department of Hurd that the Japanese did offer 20 million taels, and wanted to buy off the Germans and commit Dagu together." ”

"Director General Hurd also said that the British government is already aware of this incident, and he will urge the British government to issue a warning to Japan and Germany, and the British government will not sit idly by and watch Japan and Germany undermine peace and stability in East Asia."

"Also, the Director-General of Hurd said that it was wise for the Chancellor's Office to ignore the Germans' proposal to attack Japan and to remain calm."

"In addition, President Grant of the United States said that as a mediator between the Qing and Japan, he is extremely indignant at the actions of Germany and Japan to undermine peace in East Asia, and he will issue a statement in his private capacity to protest against the military adventures of Germany and Japan in undermining peace in East Asia."

"Huh." Li Hongzhang chuckled, the expression on his face was quite disapproving, "Yushan, you didn't ask General Secretary He, if the Germans really agreed to the conditions of the Japanese, what would the British do to maintain peace in East Asia?" ”

"The fleet of the British?" Li Hongzhang spat out a mouthful of phlegm, "Just one ironclad ship and a few steam gunboats they parked in Hong Kong?" Lao Ba also explained to me that the British Chinese fleet includes Xinzhou Province (Singapore), and there is only one ironclad ship, which was still 20 years ago. The East India Fleet had three ironclad ships, but it would take at least a month to get from Bombay to Hong Kong. ”

"For a month, the daylily is also cold! The Germans have six ironclad ships parked in Hong Kong! As he spoke, Li Hongzhang picked up the cigarette pouch in his hand and leaned over to let the servant light the pipe.

"By the way, Yushan, you spent two thousand pounds, did you hear the news we wanted?" Li Hongzhang asked casually without raising his head.

"I heard the news that the British gave privately, and the Japanese had not only one, but five, ironclad ships, and the British judged that at least four of them could fight." Zhou Fu flipped out a telegram and said with a gloomy face.

"What I said, what I said!" Li Hongzhang slammed the table hard, "Five ironclad ships!" I told the court that I couldn't go to Ryukyu, but no one believed me, and if I really did what those stupid and bold people wanted, wouldn't all the people who went there feed the fish and shrimp in the sea! ”

"How many lives, not all of them belong to our Huai Army!" Li Hongzhang roared angrily.

"The Japanese are digging a pit for our Huai army, waiting for us to jump!" Zhou Fu still said with a gloomy face, "This is to directly break the backbone of Beiyang!" ”

"It's not an exaggeration to say that the Japanese are wolf-like, so I said a long time ago, this group of Japanese people must be watched, guarded, and if necessary, they must be taught a lesson!" With a muffled voice, he exhaled a puff of smoke and spit a mouthful of thick phlegm into the spittoon at his feet.

Li Hongzhang continued to scold loudly, "Damn, that Japanese ambassador went to the capital twice, and now there is a friendly tone in the capital again, those grandsons never knew that it was a wolf that eats people and doesn't spit out bones!" ”

"It's okay to be blind, I didn't expect my heart to be blind, my heart can be seen by the sun and the moon, in the end, it's not that I can't escape the defense of the Manchurians! You have to prevent me from having two hearts! Oh my god, your mother's blindness! ”

"Get out, get out!" Zhou Fu suddenly kicked up, directly kicked over the subordinate who was serving beside Li Hongzhang, and then said angrily to Goshha who was standing at the door, "Get out of fifty steps away, whoever dares to approach will be killed!" ”

After driving out his subordinates and attendants, Zhou Fu rushed to Li Hongzhang's side and said in a low voice, "Gradually, be cautious, be cautious!" ”

"The thing is that I Li is doing, the black pot is my Li on the back, Lao Tzu tried his best to help this Qing Dynasty, and it came to an unavoidable end!"

"I'm cautious of what to say, it's a big deal that Lao Tzu won't do it, who can pick up this burden in the Qing Dynasty, I will let Li be virtuous!" Li Hongzhang, who had already gone berserk, became more and more angry the more he spoke, and Zhou Fu couldn't stop him at all.

If you can't stop it, you have to stop it, Zhou Fu can only kneel at Li Hongzhang's feet, holding his legs and crying, and persuaded bitterly, "Gradually, my lord, my good lord, hundreds of thousands of people of all ages and children under the Beiyang, but they all point to you!" ”

"If you retreat, the jackals, tigers and leopards in the capital will let you go, which one is willing to let go of our Huaijun and our Beiyang, in the end it will be a bloody storm!"

Looking at Li Hongzhang, who was still depressed, Zhou Fu gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "Gradually, the way you look now, is what follows the wishes of the group of dog talents in the court, Yixun can say this, and it can reach your ears, isn't it the bitter trick of those people!" It's just that you want to be disheartened! It's just to force you to give up this seat! ”

Zhou Fu looked at Li Hongzhang with red eyes, and said in a low voice, "We Anhui people, we Huaijun, we can give anything in Beiyang, but we can't let the seat under the buttocks, the silver in the house can't be given, and the power in our hands can't be given. ”

"Today, Beiyang has long had no way out, and you Li Jianfu has long since had no way out!" Speaking of this, Zhou Fu could only hold on to Li Hongzhang's neckline and keep shaking, hoping to bring Li Hongzhang, who was lost in phlegm, back to his senses.

I don't know how long it took, suddenly a hand gently patted Zhou Fu's hands, and a voice smiled, "Yushan, if you grab my Li by the collar like this, I was not angry with the group of dogs in the capital, but I was strangled to death by you first, let go, let go!" ”

Li Hongzhang, who stood up again, as if nothing had happened, shook the robe on his body, and said with a smile, "Yushan, you are right, I, Li, have no way to retreat!" ”

Li Hongzhang stretched out his finger and pointed to the sky, "They don't give me a way out for Li!" ”

"But I'm a Li, why do I need any way out!"

A few turmoil, a few words in my heart.

Heinrich's speech at the Hanlin Academy in the capital did not cause any turmoil, only boundless applause.

"Seventy years ago, my homeland, Germany, to be precise, should be Prussia, the predecessor of the German Empire, and Jena, which was very close to Berlin, similar to the relationship between your country's Tianjin Dagukou and Beijing."

"It is very unfortunate that we were defeated by the French in Jena, and the end is my homeland, and I must cede 1/5 of the land and about 200 million taels of silver to the greedy French bandits."

"Doesn't it sound familiar, yes, less than 40 years ago, the French did the same thing and committed the same crime against you, my dear Qing friends!"

"What is more evil than the evil inflicted on my motherland is that the French not only demand that you cede land and pay reparations, but also work with the British to impose opium on you, my Qing friends, this is a naked crime!"

"What should Prussia do in the face of powerful and brutal criminals and robbers, my friends?"

"Is it humiliating acceptance, making cattle and horses for robbers all your life, throwing the glory of our ancestors and the dignity of our generation into the mud?"

"No, never! The glory of our ancestors, the dignity of our generations, tell the Prussians to fight, to arm, to keep fighting, to fight this group of robbers and criminals without stopping, to fight with iron and fire, with the power of blood! Until defeat them! ”

"It took my motherland 60 years and countless wars to finally trample those French robbers under their feet and give them back the damage that the robbers inflicted on Prussia! Not only did we take back the lost land, but we also took the land of the robbers, and we not only regained the property that the robbers robbed, but also made the robbers pay back double! ”

"A Prussia, which is weaker than the Qing State, can beat the giant of France through more than half a century of fighting, and I believe that the great Qing State can also do it!"

"And it will do better and faster than Prussia!"

"Today, I am honored to accept the invitation of the most talented people in the Qing Kingdom, and I am very happy to stand here and introduce to my great Qing friends the experience of Prussia from weak to strong, from small to large, to safeguard the territorial integrity of Prussia, and to defeat a strong enemy!"

"The progress of a country, a nation, needs the guidance of one, several, or even more great emperors, and a country without the guidance of an emperor seems to the Prussians to be like losing the light to guide the way in the night."

"Before, when I laid flowers at the mausoleum of the greatest monarch of your country, I had the privilege of hearing from the mouth of Lord Zhang the heroic story of this great monarch, how he put down the rebellion, recovered the land, and established a powerful emperor."

This shows that in the history of the great Qing Dynasty, you have never lacked great monarchs, and like Prussia, it is a country with monarchs, feudalism, and traditions! Such a country will be great because of the greatness of the monarch! ”

"In addition to the great monarch who can bring us happiness and prosperity, what we need is faith."

"In Germany, we believe in God and the monarch, and in the Qing Kingdom, I found that my respected friends believe in heaven and earth, monarchs, relatives and teachers, compared to the Qing friends, the beliefs of the Qing friends are purer and more noble."

"Such a pure and noble faith cannot be taken away, and the French must not be allowed to deprive you of your faith and force you to convert in this land!"

"True faith is respect for the faith of others, and devout believers in God are always voluntary, not forced!"

"The missionary behavior of the French in this land has completely deviated from the will of God, is a robber, a crime!"

"In these days in Beijing, people keep asking me why Germany wants to be friends with the Qing Dynasty. In fact, I have been thinking about this question, why is Germany looking for a friend in the far east? ”

"Today, on this distinguished occasion, I would like to formally answer this question to my Qing friends."

"Because we are all trampled in the mud, because we have all been humiliated, because we have all had great histories, because we are willing to shed our blood for territory and sovereignty, because we also believe in God and our own monarch!"

"It's all because we all have an ambition to change from weak to strong!"
