Chapter 334: Currency War Means
For more than 200 years, the common people of the Central Plains have always lived in the shadow of the Eight Banners Army, and after the decline of the Eight Banners Army, it was the Qing court that supported the children of the Eight Banners, and the people still did not dare to confront the children of the Eight Banners.
After the Huaxia army came in, in order to ensure a peaceful and stable situation, the Manchurian Eight Banners were isolated from the residential areas of ordinary Han people, and the two sides were at peace.
However, this time the children of the Eight Banners rebelled, it was simply their own death, and in the process of the riot, the children of the Eight Banners burned some people's houses and killed and injured some people, which completely annoyed the people.
After the Huaxia Army and the police defeated the Eight Banners rebels, the common people also joined the ranks of chasing and suppressing the rebellion with weapons such as sticks, kitchen knives, and firewood knives.
Both the Chinese army and the police were subject to discipline, and in the war to suppress the rebellion, they were not allowed to kill people indiscriminately, but the common people were different, they wanted to be happy in the process of chasing and killing the rebels, and those who dared to resist or wanted to flee were all beaten to death.
After a counterinsurgency war, countless children of the Eight Banners were killed and disabled.
The telegrams were sent to the General Staff Headquarters in the capital by the wireless telegraph network, and the General Staff Headquarters sent the information to Hu Zhen.
"I don't want to do this, but the children of the Eight Banners, you call it immortal, and if you do, you have to die!"
Hu Zhen looked at the casualty report and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but when he flipped through the telegram, he found a problem: a very small number of Japanese people were involved in these rebellious Eight Banners, and he was immediately furious, and ordered Chen Zichao of the Intelligence Department to come to see him immediately, and asked:
"What is it about this Japanese people participating in the Eight Banners Rebellion?"
Chen Zichao has already grasped this situation: "Report to Your Majesty, this is some Wa Ronin, infiltrated in the pre-Qing Dynasty, it has been a long time, and its current intention is very simple, that is, to mess up our country and prevent our country from rising!" ”
"Okay, this Japanese people will never forget my heart of China!" Hu Zhen sneered, regardless of the emperor's identity, scolded Nima fiercely, and said: "Order Du Ligao of the Air Force to continue to bomb the Wa Kingdom fiercely, blow it back to the Paleolithic Age, and let the Emperor and Empress of the Wa Kingdom wrap their crotch with bark!" ”
"Your Majesty, this is the budget for counterinsurgency and aftermath, with a total value of more than 11.37 million yuan!" Li Hongzhang handed over a document, his face expressionless, I don't know what he thought in his heart.
"Although this rebellion has only lasted for a few days, it has killed and injured a lot of people, so I will approve it!" Hu Zhen took the document, waved his pen, and signed it for approval.
"Your Majesty, just sign it, don't you need the national seal?"
"Don't make it so troublesome, just take the signature in the future!"
"Yes!" Since Li Hongzhang followed Hu Zhen, he has experienced Hu Zhen's differences from others every day from concept to action.
"Your Majesty, the final draft of the agreement between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Kingdom of Digabu and the Kingdom of India has been finalized, and the manuscripts are here!" Li Hongzhang handed over two more documents.
These two texts were signed exactly according to Hu Zhen's requirements, Hu Zhen picked them up and flipped through them for a while, and found nothing abnormal, so he nodded and said: "Okay, the agreement is settled, arrange for both parties to sign and take effect!" ”
"Yes!" Li Hongzhang agreed, but he still couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, for the signing of the mutual assistance agreement between these two countries, the old minister understands, and requires the other party to use my Chinese script as the national language and Chinese, and the old minister also understands, but this requires the other party to use our currency, and our country's gold, silver, and copper coins will continue to flow to these two remote countries, and our country's gold and silver reserves will become smaller, why is this?" ”
Hu Zhenrao looked at the white-haired Li Hongzhang interestingly for a while, and then said: "Li Aiqing, this is a currency war, we must start to lay out in the long run, the outflow of gold and silver coins and copper coins is only temporary, after the outflow, they will take it back to buy our things, such as our antibiotic drugs, which must be purchased with our Chinese currency, so what's the matter?" ”
"But, Your Majesty, this is a small and weak country after all, if its army is defeated and the country is destroyed, wouldn't it be a waste of scheming?"
"Don't worry about it, if they lose, the Huaxia currency is still there, after all, it will expand the influence of our Huaxia currency! Besides, with our support, there is a great chance to win! ”
When Lao Li heard this, he didn't say anything anymore, because in his diplomatic career, he mostly dealt with European and American powers, and dealing with weak people was not the mainstream, and Goryeo Annana was a vassal state, and it was the first time to deal with Indians and African Digabu, and it was not a strange thing for his brain to be confused for a while. But he is a lover of reading, and when he heard a new conceptual word, he couldn't help but ask: "What is the currency war?" ”
"This currency war is nothing new, our ancestors have already played it, and they have killed many countries?"
"Has there ever been such a thing?" Lao Li must have read more Chinese poetry books than the young Hu Zhen, but he couldn't think of any currency wars in ancient times.
"Li Aiqing, you must have read "Guanzi", the strategy of Hengshan destroyed the Hengshan Kingdom, the high-priced Qi Lu Lu to level the Duke of Lu Zhuang, the high-priced collection of the fox of the Daiguo made the Daiguo destroy the Daiguo without growing food, and the high-priced purchase of the deer of the Chu State forced the Chu State to submit, that is the wisdom of the soldiers who surrendered without a fight in the currency war!"
"Ahh Lao Li's brain has been either fighting or killing for decades, where do you have time to think about these bird things, but he lowered his head and felt that this was really a good way to kill people and destroy the country without bloodshed, and couldn't help but praise: "Okay, in the future, we will have to use this kind of superb means to deal with the great powers!" ”
"Of course, we're already using such tactics!" Hu Zhen accidentally said that he had missed something again.
Fortunately, this old Li classmate is very knowledgeable, he knows that Hu Zhen rose from Nanyang, defeated several powers one after another, and recovered most of the entire Chinese mainland in just a few months, there must be something extraordinary, there are means that are not known to outsiders, Hu Zhen refused to tell himself, it was useless to ask, it was better to pretend that he didn't know anything, so he said: "Your Majesty, the minister has retired!" ”
"Li Aiqing, don't go back, today I want to feast again the king of the African Digabu Kingdom and the king of the Indian Kingdom, you can accompany me to meet them, there are many details in the future, you need to follow up, you can come and get to know them!"
Facing this emperor who knew more and more in front of him, Li Hongzhang was very respectful: "Yes, the minister will accompany Your Majesty!" (To be continued.) )
