Three days later.

In the Shengjing Imperial Palace, the Hall of Hundred Officials.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival of the Chinese Empire, the whole palace is filled with a strong festive atmosphere, even the Baiguan Palace, which has always been magnificent and solemn, has also been decorated, in the main hall, there are a lot of colored lanterns hung, all of which are holy oil as lighting fuel oil, and a windproof and fireproof glass cover is added to the outside, which is very exquisite, and adds a lot of color to the festive atmosphere of the main hall.

However, what made the ministers of the court and the central government gathered in the hall even more happy was not the upcoming festival, nor the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet of the hundred officials that the emperor was going to give him, but the news of the great victory of the Western Expeditionary Army from the far west two days ago!

Because of this incident, and it coincided with the Mid-Autumn Festival, Emperor Feng Yunshan summoned all ministers and civil and military officials in the court to celebrate the great victory of the Western Expeditionary Army!

In the Baiguan Palace, the cigarette smoke is green and the fragrance is soaring.

Feng Yunshan raised the crystal wine glass in his hand and shouted with full anger: "On the night of the festival, I and all Aiqing gathered here, and I heard that the Western Expeditionary Army led by King Yi was invincible, and took half of the territory of Western Russia, and even made a good report, I am very happy!" All love, and drink this cup with me! ”

When the military officials agreed one after another, they raised their glasses together and drank with their heads up.

Feng Yunshan was also very relaxed, after all, today was not a court meeting but a banquet, what he wanted was to put down the shelves and drink with the ministers. Now that he has been the emperor for many years, he gradually feels a little lonely, the position is high, and the taste of being alone has slowly tasted, and he begins to miss the time when he was still a missionary in Guangxi to oppose the Qing Dynasty, including the years when he founded the Taiping Holy Kingdom, when he was only the leader of everyone, not the emperor who was high, and he could also become friends with the old brothers around him, but now, even old brothers like Luo Outline and Shi Dakai have begun to have the difference between monarchs and ministers, and they are no longer the same relationship as before. Of course, he also knew that this was inevitable, and he was a little hypocritical.

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" After the officials cheered in unison, the hall was extremely quiet, waiting for the emperor's will.

Feng Yunshan nodded, put down his wine glass, and said to the hundred officials: "I learned the news of the great victory of the Western Expeditionary Army two days ago, maybe some of the Aiqing here have just arrived in Shengjing, and they don't know yet.

Some time ago, we received a secret report from Guo Songtao and Guo Aiqing in Europe, and there are signs of chaos in Europe! After the tsar of Tsarist Russia was removed, there was a large-scale civil strife in Tsarist Russia, vassal states such as Poland and Finland fought for independence, and two tsars within Tsarist Russia also began to fight each other. The Kingdom of Prussia launched a dynastic war to unify Germany, united with the Kingdom of Italy, and defeated Denmark and Austria one after another. The French Emperor and the British Foreign Secretary intervened to mediate, but just as they were about to sign the Prague Armistice, an accident occurred, and important figures in Austria and Prussia were assassinated or wounded, and the two sides became deadlocked.

At the same time, after a series of operations of our Chinese Empire, a preliminary agreement was reached with the Ottoman Turkish Empire to take the opportunity to attack the chaotic Tsarist Russia. The day before yesterday, many of you already knew that the report of the great victory of the Western Expeditionary Army came that our Chinese Empire had captured Orenburg, Yekaterinburg, and Tyumen, the most important military towns in the Ural Mountains of Tsarist Russia, as well as the middle and lower reaches of the Volga River west of the Ural River, as well as the Caucasus, Baku on the west bank of the Caspian Sea, and other places. Now, the army of the Western Expedition is heading straight to the Black Sea, preparing to join forces with the army of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, running through the entire Eurasian continent! ”

"As for the Indian Ocean Fleet, under the leadership of Wei Jun, it successively captured the port of Aden, an important British supply base, and occupied all the important ports in the entire Indian Ocean, including eastern Africa." Feng Yunshan continued, and said with some pride: "Just the day before yesterday, British envoys and Russian envoys arrived in Shengjing one after another, wanting to see me, but I didn't have time to pay attention to them, so let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs deal with it. Wu Aiqing, tell me, how did they come to seek peace? ”

Wu Ruxiao immediately stood up and said loudly: "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen informed the ministers that the British envoys and Russian envoys could not bear the defeat and came to Shengjing to sue for peace with our Chinese Empire. They all admitted defeat and were willing to pay a big price for an armistice to allow our Chinese empire to withdraw its troops.

After some exchanges, the news of the great victory of the Western Expeditionary Army came again, and the British and Russian envoys could not resist, especially the Russian envoys, who had already signed an armistice memorandum with us, and tentatively concluded many treaties favorable to our Chinese Empire. Britain formally ceded all its overseas territories in the Pacific and Indian Oceans to our Chinese Empire, and Tsarist Russia reluctantly accepted the unambiguous assignment of the entire Ural Mountains and the west of the Ural River to our Chinese Empire, and also paid 1.5 billion holy dollars in war reparations, of which 1 billion holy dollars were deducted in goods.

However, Wei Chen thought that the army of the Western Expedition was now in full swing, and asked to sign a formal armistice agreement on the front battlefield, so as to obtain a time difference, and during this time, the Western Expeditionary Army will definitely seize the opportunity to occupy Rostov, an important town at the mouth of the Don River leading to the Black Sea, and expand our power to the Azov Sea area of the Black Sea, and become a real superpower across the Eurasian continent! ”

Wu Ruxiao's words made the civil and military officials present so excited that they chattered and discussed. Feng Yunshan didn't stop it, too, the rapidly expanding Chinese Empire can be said to be in the stage of how bold and prolific people are. Of course, this is mainly due to the depth of the Chinese Empire, both in terms of wealth and population. In later generations, if it were not for the defeat and reparations in the First Sino-Japanese War, which led to the defeat of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the resources of the whole of Asia were inclined to Japan, making it stronger, even the Manchu Qing would not have fallen to that point.

In the final analysis, the degree of industrialization of the modern Manchu Qing Dynasty was not enough, and now the Chinese Empire is under its own leadership, vigorously developing basic industries, although there is some waste, just like the Great Leap Forward in later generations, it is engaged in steel smelting, setting up fertilizer factories, machinery factories, spinning factories, etc., but it also pushes the degree of industrialization forward a big step, and because of this, the strength of the Chinese Empire far exceeds that of the Manchu Dynasty at the same time, and now even by virtue of population and geographical advantages, defeating the most powerful Britain in the world.

Therefore, when everyone quieted down, Feng Yunshan encouraged the ministers: "This is an unprecedented era! And our Chinese are also in an unprecedented strength, both in terms of population and land area, but the more this is the case, the more we cannot get carried away, as strong as the British, if we are not careful, we have been defeated twice.

But at the same time, this is an unprecedented and excellent situation facing the Chinese community, and if we cannot carry it forward and expand its influence, we will be sorry for this Chinese face of our own. The Admiralty and the Ministry of Defense continued to increase their support for the westward expedition of the navy and land; As for the cabinet, the resettlement plan to these newly occupied areas should be launched as soon as possible, and as long as there are Chinese people living in these places, no matter how they change in the future, they will always be the territory of our Chinese people! ”
