Emperor Xianfeng put down the hand that was rubbing his head, the red agate wrench on his hand was huge and gentle, secretly glowing in the room, and the emperor became interested, "Since the Northern Expedition, Lan'er, you haven't given me any ideas, what are the plans now?" Let's tell me about it, if it's a good thing and the idea is reasonable, you will be rewarded immediately! ”

"The concubine heard the news that Russia is fighting with France and Britain in Europe, do you think this is good news?"

On February 6, 1854 (the ninth day of the first lunar month of the Chinese lunar year), Russia announced the severance of diplomatic relations with Britain and France in response to the combined Anglo-French fleet sailing into the Black Sea. On the 10th, the British peace delegation arrived in Russia for a final diplomatic effort and met with the Tsar. The two sides were very divided, and the Tsar feared war with Britain and France, but was unwilling to back down, and Nikolai told the British envoy: "Do not threaten me with war, and I can rely on Berlin and Vienna." In order to warn Britain and France that they could once again provoke a major war in Europe. However, the Holy Alliance of Austria, Prussia, and Russia has long been separated. Prussia had long complained about Russia's protection of Austria in the Austro-Prussian dispute in 1850, and it was not going to take advantage of the Balkans, an issue in which it had no interest in itself. Austria was even more inscrutable, and Nicholas I could never have imagined the betrayal of Austria a few months later.

On February 23, 1854, the first British Army ships went to Turkey. On February 27, 1854, Britain and France issued an ultimatum to Russia, demanding that Russia withdraw from Wallachia and Moldavia by April 30. The tsar ignored it. On March 12, Britain and France formed an alliance with Turkey. On 19 March, the French Army also boarded a ship for Turkey. A day later, the Russian army crossed the Danube. France declared war on Russia on March 27 and Britain on March 28. At that time, the three great powers came together and the Crimean War expanded.

The emperor took the map and took a closer look at the place in the Black Sea Crimea, which was 108,000 miles away from China.

"If this matter is true, then I ordered General Heilongjiang to go directly to Sakhalin Island to drive those Russian soldiers away, and I think that the tsar will not have the energy to raise the strength of the whole country to find trouble with the Qing Dynasty, hahaha." Emperor Xianfeng looked at Xingzhen and became more and more happy, "The news of the queen is really timely, I don't know where I got it?" ”

"The concubine's father heard from outside that he told the concubine that it was said by an English and French merchant doing business in Ningbo, that the British and French emperors had issued an order to prepare for war with Russia, and that the two of them were not allowed to enter Russia."

"Hmm, this news is really timely, otherwise I would still be worried about the situation in this country, and I wouldn't dare to go to Russia for trouble!"

"In addition, Britain and France want to deal with this Russia with all their might, Your Majesty, you say, where does Ying Yi have time to come to us for trouble recently, and what to say about the exchange of contracts?"

According to the provisions of the Sino-French "Whampoa Treaty" and the Sino-US "Wangxia Treaty", some details can be slightly revised 12 years after the signing of the treaty. Britain invoked the "equal disposition" rule and also believed that it had the right to revise the treaty, and the "Treaty of Nanjing" in 1854 had been 11 years old in 1964, the fourth year of Xianfeng, so Britain united with France and the United States to request the Qing government to amend the treaty.

"Exactly, not only is Russia unable to look eastward, but Britain and France are also busy with war with Russia, and they can't take care of this side." Emperor Xianfeng compared the distance between Crimea and Sakhalin, and patted the table excitedly, "Then it's good to ask General Heilongjiang to drive it away." He looked at the queen again, "Lan'er, what do you think?" ”

"This is an excellent idea, but although this barbarian is a barbarian, but the mouth is still a self-proclaimed civilized country, although now we can drive away those Russian soldiers sent by the Russian governor in Sakhalin with the soldiers of Heilongjiang, but in case of the war in the west of Russia after the fact, the one who comes to us in turn is not, this diplomatic affairs should also find a capable and daring courtier to go to Heilongjiang, or go to the Russian Siberian Governor to negotiate, not only to expel out, It is also necessary to set the rules of the border between us and Russia in the future in the form of a text! If Russia still dares to be arrogant and unreasonable, let's tell him to declare war on Russia together with Britain and France! They are in the Crimea, we are in Siberia, flanking in both directions! Now, if we can find something unhappy for Russia, presumably Britain and France will naturally treat us more leniently, and this exchange of contracts can be delayed for a few days, and the emperor will naturally have less troubles in his heart. "If we don't take advantage of the fact that Tsarist Russia is now at war with the No. 1 and No. 2 powers of capitalism, and is unable to pass through Siberia, and bite off a few pieces of meat from the polar bear, wouldn't it be reborn in vain?

"Exactly, Lan'er, your idea is extremely good, isn't this strategy to take advantage of the fire to rob? Hahaha, although it is a little more insidious, but if I can take back Sakhalin Island smoothly, why should I be a villain. Xianfeng was very happy, and even the "Lanshan Xiaocui" tea sent in by Yang Qingxi was already a little cold, so he drank it all in one gulp, and he didn't care.

Xingzhen felt that the emperor was a little complacent, and his thinking was not broad enough, so she spoke again: "Your Majesty, you just thought that this was originally our Sakhalin Island?" The ancients looked at Shu and said it well, why didn't the emperor relax his horizons, "Xingzhen pointed to a little south of the Outer Xing'an Mountains, a vacant lot on the edge of the Wudi River, which is a small area to be discussed in the "Treaty of Nebuchu"!

Emperor Xianfeng looked at the emperor's expression, Xingzhen looked at the emperor's expression, and proudly continued to follow the good path, "This place is the border between the two countries that the Holy Ancestor has not set, if the emperor does not make any effort, chooses a pro-noble minister, and then sends an envoy who dares to do things and can speak well to Russia, argues with reason, and then suppresses the situation, maybe, the emperor will be able to make this merit comparable to the Holy Ancestor!"

The emperor clenched his fists and made up his mind, "Lan'er, what you said is very true, I will send someone to Russia immediately, and in addition, I will also order Ye Mingqi to immediately note to Britain and France, presumably they will also be grateful to Dade for my will." He looked at Xingzhen with great joy and nodded again and again, "Sure enough, it is my female middle school Zhuge who knows the world without going out, rejoice, go to the inner library, and reward the mutton fat and white jade head presented by the Xinjiang general yesterday to the queen, I really owe you for your exquisite thoughts!" ”
