Nanjing in April is a sea of flowers, Xuanwu Lake, Mochou Lake, Purple Mountain, Confucius Temple ......, all the holy places are wafting with the fragrance of flowers. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The wisteria flower is like an elegant young woman, looking at it from a distance, it looks like a purple waterfall connected to the blue sky, delicate and blooming, making the whole Nanjing appear more romantic and vivid.

Hydrangeas show people an overall beauty, and they are amazed when they meet for the first time.

There are also roses, rhododendrons, tsuki, peonies, and ......, as well as peach blossoms and plum blossoms that are intentionally cultivated in several parks, and even cherry blossoms transplanted from Japan......

The flowers in the north have withered, but the beauty of the south of the Yangtze River is still delicate.

Countless people were intoxicated by the beauty of flowers, but Chen Ming, who was in the palace, was like a cheetah that had entered a hunting state, hiding in a dark corner, quietly watching every move of his prey.

The beauty of the capital city is just a façade.

Briton......

Japanese......

North Korean......

Lao Maozi......

Spain......

Fortunately, recently, Annan's four gangs, Siam and Burma have not made any trouble for him, otherwise Chen Ming would not be able to hold back no matter how vigorous his energy is. Don't forget, a large part of his attention is still on the domestic ones.

Recently, there has been a turmoil brewing in China, and it has nothing to do with political ideas, but purely commercial disputes.

The railway tracks from Shanxi and Hebei to Mongolia have begun to bear fruit, and they have all been repaired to Kulen, which is much easier to repair and easier to maintain than the railway. Now it is able to communicate directly from Zhangjiakou and Datong to Suiyuan, Chengde, Baotou, Chifeng, and even Kulun in Outer Mongolia.

The operation of the railroad line has brought great changes to the entire Mongolian steppe, and the scattered stations on the steppe have become the best link between the Han and Mongolian peoples. For the Han Chinese, this made it easier and faster for them to buy the furs, livestock, and medicinal herbs they needed. For the Mongolian nobles and herdsmen scattered throughout the steppe, the construction of this railroad allowed them to go to Chengde, Chifeng, Suiyuan, Zhangjiakou, Kulun and other places to trade everything they needed to buy and sell with the Han merchants. It can be said that it kills multiple birds with one stone!

Up to now, many Mongolians have chosen to live a settled life and become ranch workers, but there are still many Mongolians who prefer a traditional nomadic life to a settled life.

The main railway line, which took many years to complete, was renamed Lake Baikal, and the economic benefits that erupted made many people angry. When it was learned that the imperial court was planning to build another railway from Xi'an, connecting Lanzhou City, and extending all the way to Ili in northern Xinjiang, a wave of enthusiasm erupted inexorably among the people.

First of all, there was a voice saying that the tone invested heavily in communicating the desolate Western Regions, and that these railroad tracks should be arranged in the economically prosperous Jiangnan, which will inevitably greatly promote the economic circulation of Jiangnan.

Then this 'voice' quickly became Huguang, Central Plains, Liangguang, Fujian, Sichuan, Shandong, Hebei and so on.

Then a voice shouted, "We can raise our own funds to build the railroad." ”

The state did not stipulate that such railways should only be built by state-owned assets, and this upsurge brought about by profits was somewhat unexpected by Chen Ming.

The sudden outbreak of this incident in China largely involved Chen Ming's energy, and he took a wait-and-see attitude towards this matter. If those people in China really have the ability to raise enough money to build the railway, instead of fooling people to make money, Chen Ming is really willing to see the future 'prospects' of this railway.

"Your Majesty, the British envoy and his entourage have arrived in Guangzhou." The flying pigeon sent the news that Watson's feet had just set foot on the land of the mainland, and his news was transmitted to Nanjing.

Dressed in a thin lilac silk dress, Chen Ming sat by the edge of Xuanwu Lake, holding a bamboo pole in his hand. A trace of crystal fishing line hung into the water with a silver hook, Chen Ming, who had never fished in his previous life, suddenly fell in love with this leisure method in his life.

may be because of the generation gap of the times, he has never been interested in storytelling and singing, but cross talk has developed rapidly with his support.

Chinese cross talk has three major bases in history: Beijing Tianqiao, Tianjin Quanyechang and Nanjing Confucius Temple. This thing originated in North China, popular in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, and popularized throughout the country and at home and abroad.

Now the status of this cross talk is rising rapidly, and several 'masters' can already compete with the role of drama. There are also sketches, a form of art performance that only appeared in China in the second half of the 20th century, and appeared in China 200 years earlier.

With the addition of novels, the 'cultural' business of the new dynasty is thriving on the whole.

Chen Ming reads novels, although he doesn't write them, but martial arts novels and Xianxia novels are all made by him, can he come up with ideas. How can a person in this era compare to him, a time-traveler who has been immersed in the Internet for many years? If it weren't for the fact that the novel was too shocking, Chen Ming would have shaken out.

The emperor loved to read novels, and he also specially formulated the "Cultural Protection Law" to protect the rights and interests of novel authors, and China's novel industry naturally developed rapidly.

These 'novelists' and the 'lower ninth' of the past can now be said to have caught up with the really good times. not only encountered the period of rapid economic development in China, but also had Chen Ming, the emperor who covered the sky with one hand, as a backer. Although the novels that are most attractive to Chen Ming, in fact, there are not many that can interest Chen Ming.

The transformation of a certain 'art' must go through the accumulation of time and the deposition of years. Chen Ming's pulling of seedlings can only make the small seedlings grow taller, but not make them bloom and bear fruit.

Gently throw the hook with the bait hanging into the water, wait quietly on the shore, and watch the float slowly ripple with thin ripples, and the posture is natural and elegant.

In the distance, the rolling Purple Mountains are shrouded in mist and in the distance, and in the distance, there are small green lotuses that have just emerged.

In the meantime, quiet and distant, the mind is flying, there is no obstacle, everything is forgotten, and the feeling of speculating that the monk is sitting in meditation is about the same as Chen Ming at this moment.

As long as the float shakes strangely, the scattered thoughts quickly gather together: is it a big fish or a small fish?

"Caigen Tan" has clouds: fishing water, anecdotes, and the handle of life and death; Playing chess, clearing the play, and moving the heart of war.

Of course, Chen Ming would not be happy or disappointed because it was a loach or a soft-shelled turtle, but whenever he saw the ups and downs of the float, he would always involuntarily concentrate his mental strength. What kind of fish can be called up, this is more of an 'expectation' of his own performance.

Speculating excitedly, nervously and urgently, he did not even dare to come out of the atmosphere, lest he frighten the fish in the water.

Even the slightest tremor of the float would greatly tug at his nerves.

Chen Ming never thought that he would be so nervous because of a small fish. At the moment when the float sinks into the water, the rod is lifted quickly. When the empty fishing hook sways lonely in the air, the regret and helplessness in my heart are a bit like the feeling of failure.

Each time he seemed to think that he should lift the hook a little faster, or simply wait a moment, and a live fish would be in his hands.

When the fish comes out of the water with the hook, he will have a strong thrill of courage in his body and mind, and it will be like an electric current that hits every cell in his body.

It doesn't matter the size of the fish, it doesn't matter the type of fish, whether there is a fish or not, it's a huge difference. It was an indescribable pleasure.

Then I will think that this fish is good, this fish is a little smaller......

……

A tide was secretly surging in the Shangguan Street of Nanjing, and the British envoys had arrived in Guangzhou. They were only a day late from Chen Ming, and they saw the news from the newspaper.

With the acquiescence of the Press and Publication Administration, the news was published simultaneously by several Nanjing newspapers.

Sauvelle-Philip Perrier and Pierre were nervous, and William El Brontë, Earl of Norwich, Kingdom of Great Britain, British ambassador to China, was already preparing a high-class welcome dinner for the Watsons and their entourage.

This means that there is a real possibility that the relationship between China and the UK will move one step closer.

I also know with my toes that the British will not hold on to the worthless New South Wales, and the Chinese are at odds at this time.

This is not a blow to France, but it is a very bad sign.

Of course, what makes it even more difficult for the French in China to accept is that Paris still has not given instructions to decouple them from Annan. It's bad.

From a certain point of view, the French support for Quang Nam is not as blatant as before, and they know very well that they are prying the corner of the Chinese. If China is willing to lend a helping hand to Quang Nam at this time, Nguyen will definitely say goodbye to the Gallic rooster as soon as possible. It's just that the Chinese didn't, just like they did with Beizheng, not only did they not extend a helping hand, but the Chinese also maintained support for the Xishan Army [Remnant Qing Army] to a certain extent.

Don't think of Bei Zheng as an idiot. If it weren't for the remnants of the Qing army behind China's backers, how could those Manchu remnants in the mountains have so many munitions? Over the past few years, he has been getting stronger and stronger?

Although they also sold a batch of arms to Beizheng, what is this? Is it a balance? Or pig farming?

Look at the current Indochina Peninsula?

The three largest countries were divided into three by the Chinese, and the Siamese had the full support of China, because the King of Thonburi of Siam was a Chinese, and Zheng Xin was not only Chinese, but also treated the Chinese very friendly, and obediently spit out the river immortals. Now Siam has the full support of the Chinese. At least three regularized firearms divisions have been established in the country.

If it weren't for China stopping Siam and preventing Zheng Xin from launching an attack on Phnom Penh and Vientiane, those small countries would have become Siamese territory long ago. Even Annan, who was divided into four parts, was no match for the firearms units of the three divisions.

It cannot be said that the spearhead is aimed at Zheng Xin in the east, but can only start with Burma, and the other is to continue to attack Malay.

One of the three most powerful countries on the Indochina Peninsula was torn apart by the Chinese, and the other two were themselves mortal enemies.

Now the Indochina Peninsula is in a mess, and it looks a lot like India. The Central Dynasty had lost its rights, and the real power of India was entirely in the hands of their native princes, and they were at loggerheads when the British broke in.

In Perrier's view, this is more like a means for the Chinese to weaken Indochina. This is the best time for the French to withdraw, regardless of what the Chinese plan to do with Indochina. But what about Paris?

For some reason, a bad feeling rose in Perrier's heart.

Of course, at this time, the premonition of bad in his heart was even stronger than Yongying.

With the failure of the offensive battle of the Fuhan army garrisoned by the Russian army in the Balkhash Lake area opened by Orenburg, Yongying's whole person was surrounded by a strong sense of crisis.

Yongying, who has 'degenerated' into a clan leader and is still a very ordinary clan leader, has the biggest backer in Russia.

Although he had more than 10,000 troops, 20,000 soldiers and civilians under his command, even women held muskets. However, he was extremely lacking in ammunition replenishment, and he was also extremely lacking in artillery, as well as his lack of sufficient war horses, not to mention that his combat effectiveness was not only compared with the Fu Han army, but also compared with the Kazakh cavalry on horseback. A musket without ammunition is worse than a burning stick.

However, relying on the might of the Russians, he led his men to occupy the fattest piece of land on the southwestern shore of Lake Balkhash. You must know that Lake Balkhash is thousands of miles long from east to west, because of the difference in rivers, this inland lake with a high evaporation capacity, one lake and two waters, salty in the east and light in the west. And the southwestern part of Lake Balkhash is also protected from the influence of the Kazakh hills, and the land can be used not only for grazing, but also for reclamation.

Although the Kazakhs are angry, they dare to be angry but do not dare to speak.

Yongying also completely gave up his ambitions, his heart was not made of diamonds, and he was shattered by failures again and again. If he could, he would like to spend the rest of his life in silence on the shores of Lake Balkhash.

He had money in his hands, and a lot of gold and silver were discarded on the way to escape, but there were still some fine calligraphy and paintings and treasures firmly held in his hands. Those treasures of oriental art may not be able to sell for a lot of money in the West at this time, and some of the treasures in his hands cannot be sold for a lot of money, and Westerners prefer gemstones. There is no 'jade culture' in their world.

But what about gemstones? What about fine gold products? Anywhere in the world is hard currency.

One by one, he would send his children to Europe, not St. Petersburg, but Paris, London, and Amsterdam. Just like the Yongrui who has gone from Russia to London.

Yong Ying didn't know that this cousin, who was much older than him, had so many private goods. Within a few days of arriving in London, he bought a large estate, then Paris, and donated a large cross made of silver to a church in London, which was then baptized by the bishop himself.

In just one month, Yongying's cousin seemed to have spent 20,000 pounds, worth no less than 60,000 or 70,000 taels of silver.

"I originally wanted to wait for Miancong to be two years older before sending him to England."

In a tent, Yongying looked at the thirteen-year-old child in front of him with pity. This is the only flesh and blood left of him, and he had a new son born in Xinjiang, but he died less than a year later.

The thirteen-year-old had already been optimistic about Fujin in the past, but now he was more like a little warrior.

Yongying feels that his body is still very healthy, and he is not without blood, but he has several sons, and only such an eldest son is left to grow up to now.

"Lord Wang...... "The Fucha clan of Changfu Jin is dead, and the side Fujin Tatara clan also died quietly on the way to escape. Yongying now has only three people left in the backyard, Jifu Jin Niu Hulu, the daughter of the general Dafu in the army; Fang Fujin Zhao, the daughter of Zhao Zonghao, the former commander of Ganzhou, and there is another Gege Geng, the daughter of the Minister of Guards, Dachun, and Dachun also died in Yili!

Yongying directly skipped Ji Fujin, he knew that this Ji Fujin was not dead now, and he was still bent on giving birth to a son. And then Zhao can't do it, Zhao Zonghao is a general in the army and can't move lightly.

Yongying's gaze was on Geng's body, Gege? No. She's a side blessing.

"Three holes of the cunning rabbit. Let's leave ourselves a way out. ”

"Russia is not a retreat." These Slavs are too crude and mercenary. Yongying always had a feeling that one day after his value was squeezed dry, he would be packed up by the Russians and sent back to China.

"Great Britain, France, Germany......" (To be continued.) )
