Feng Yunshan knew that Charles was originally dissatisfied with the British, otherwise he would not have been willing to surrender himself when he was captured, and now even his family members have been moved to the empire, living a happy life, speaking Chinese fluently, has been completely integrated into Chinese Han culture and imperial life, and it is impossible to betray the empire again. This is also the reason why Feng Yunshan came to him to tell him this.

Charles also knew the emperor's intentions, and simply agreed.

"Your Majesty, a few days ago, another group of mechanical technicians who immigrated from Ireland told me that there are now brotherhood organizations established by our Irish people in Ireland and the United States, and several of them have also joined these organizations, and they also want Wechen to join this organization, but Wechen, as an officer of the Chinese Empire and a courtier of His Majesty, rejected them. However, now that His Majesty has sent Wechen to organize my Irish compatriots to fight against the British, Wechen thinks that this may be useful. Because these brotherhood organizations were secret organizations formed by anti-British activists among the Irish. If you want to be anti-British, you can't get around them. Charles, who had stepped into the role, began to suggest.

"Really?" Unexpectedly, there was also an anti-government organization similar to the Manchu Qing Dynasty in Britain, Feng Yunshan became happy and hurriedly asked, "How many people are there?" How's the strength? By the way, you'd better introduce me from beginning to end. ”

"Your Majesty, since the island of Ireland was invaded by Great Britain many years ago, my compatriots have continued to have heroic figures who have courageously stood up and mobilized their people to rebel. Especially in recent decades, it has been even more magnificent. "Charles is of Irish origin, and although he has lived in the East for many years, he still has a bright face when he talks about his homeland.

"When the United States began to fight for independence, many people of insight began to form various civil society groups, and secretly began to oppose the British, but they soon failed. When the French Revolution broke out, Ireland formed an anti-British Irish Union to seek military assistance from France, and France sent several naval expeditions to Ireland between 1796 and 1798 to help the Irish Union resist the British army, but all failed. The rebellion of the Irish Union could only be carried out in Ulster and Wexford in the south, and was soon suppressed by British troops. Moreover, this rebellion attracted the attention of the British, who sinisterly emigrated to England and Scottish landowners to Ireland, usurped the land, recruited the Irish as their tenants, and tied the Irish to the British ship completely. Moreover, they managed to take control of the Irish Parliament, completely annex the Irish state to the United Kingdom, and even changed the name of the country to 'United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland'. ”

"Since then, anti-British groups in Ireland have gone underground. Ten years ago, the Great Famine caused millions of people in Ireland to starve to death, and millions of people emigrated to the United States, and hundreds of thousands of people went to those towns in England to work as cheap day laborers or cheap coolies in coal mines. The most famous is the mysterious 'Fenian Society'. To put it simply, it was a clandestine Irish anti-British group, named after the legendary Irish armed forces of the Finia Warriors, whose fundamental purpose was to use every opportunity to harm the interests of England in order to gain the restoration of Ireland and the freedom of the people. ”

"There are several factions in the 'Fenian Society', the most famous of which are the Irish Revolutionary Brotherhood, which Jan Stephens founded in Dublin, the capital of Ireland, last year, and the Finney Autonomous Brotherhood, founded by Joan Omahoney in New York. However, they did not really mobilize the lowest level of Irish peasants and tenants, but were only active among the Irish who had a certain level of knowledge and status, so that there was no direct resistance to British power at the moment. Among them, there were only a few hundred men under Jen Stephens in Ireland, and one or two thousand men at most with the periphery mentioned; The Finney Autonomous Brotherhood in the United States, although large in number, with thousands of members, was more concerned with uniting to immigrate their families from Ireland to the United States through England, and did not have the determination to rebel against the British, but only out of sympathy, provided funds to the revolutionary Brotherhood of James Stephens, wanting to rebel against the British through them, and by the way help them to immigrate more Irish to the United States. ”

Finally, Charles said firmly: "Your Majesty, Wechen feels that in order to quickly gain a foothold in Ireland and develop the anti-British forces that my empire can fully control, we can first control this guy named Jan Stephens, and by infiltrating the Irish Revolutionary Brotherhood to control the 'Fenian Society', this is the first step, and Wechen is not talented, as long as there are enough funds, it can be completed very smoothly." But this step alone is not enough, the key is the second step, the lowest level of the people of Ireland, that is, the landless peasants and landless tenants, etc., to organize and develop, so that they can rise up against Britain for their own freedom and land, and also for the interests of the empire, and eliminate the British power on the island of Ireland. ”

After listening to Xia Er's train of thought, Feng Yunshan showed a satisfied look, it seems that the candidate he chose was really the right one. "Money is not an issue," he laughs. Aiqing rest assured, I can first support you with 8 million Shengyuan, and I will send a group of people to Ireland to assist you in completing the task. There is only one condition, that the Fenian Society be in control as soon as possible, not only the revolutionary Brotherhood in Ireland itself, but also the Irish group in New York and other parts of the United States. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Charles was taken aback, he didn't expect the emperor to be so refreshing, and directly opened his mouth to throw 8 million saint dollars to support him and let him go to Ireland to develop the people, you know, how many Irish people have to scrape together a family and friends for a cheap ferry ticket to the United States for 5 dollars, and these 8 million saint dollars, how many things can be done, and even millions of people can immigrate to the United States. The entire island of Ireland now has a population of more than 5 million.

The total output value of potato planting to feed the entire Irish people is only 8.8 million pounds, equivalent to 38.7 million saint dollars, and the emperor took out 8 million saint dollars at one time, which is undoubtedly a huge amount of money! How many Irish can you hire?

"One more point." Feng Yunshan thought for a moment and added: "I heard that most of the Irish people make a living by growing potatoes, but the land has been occupied by the landlords and merchants from the British, and even expelled from their own land, and there is no land to grow into tenants or hired laborers. They definitely crave land. Charles you go to Ireland, and tell the poor people that if you defeat the British and embrace you as the new chief of Ireland, you will be given land. Not only Ireland, but also other places, such as the Outer Northeast of the Chinese Empire, which is sparsely populated and suitable for growing hardy potatoes, and if they become subjects of the Chinese Empire, I can give them some land in the Outer Northeast and even Siberia. In return, of course, they had to enlist their surplus sons in the Empire's army to fend off the invasion of Tsarist Russia. ”

Charles replied, "Wechen must bring His Majesty's words." I believe that those compatriots who are crazy about the land will be ecstatic. ”

As soon as Feng Yunshan wanted to say something, Liu Shengbang, the Minister of Guard, led Foreign Minister Wu Ruxiao to him.

"Your Majesty, the British Minister to China and the Russian Commissioner to China, Ignatiev, jointly submitted a note to Weichen, and the tone was not inferior, and it was very rampant......" Wu Ruxiao estimated that he was reluctant to say the latter words, saying half and leaving half.

Feng Yunshan said: "Wu Aiqing has something to say, here are my confidant Aiqing. ”

Wu Ruxiao frowned, and said with some hesitation: "Please also ask Your Majesty to calm his anger!" The new British minister to China's real name is James Bruce, because he is a British aristocratic earl, known as the Earl of Elgin Jr., this person is extremely arrogant, and the commissioner Ignatiev sent by Russia has now arrived at the Xiaguan Wharf in Shengjing, and Weichen summoned them, but they did not expect them to ask Wechen directly to see His Majesty, and Weichen naturally did not agree, nor did he allow them to enter the city. Unexpectedly, these foreigners had an arrogant attitude, and even directly threatened Wechen, saying that they had brought some treaties and asked our Chinese Empire to agree to it, otherwise, the two countries would unite and declare war on me! ”
