Chapter 593: Loyal Ministers (Asking for Support)

Spring is warm and flowers are blooming. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

It's the best time of the year, and there's no bad news for New Yorkers at this time. Two months earlier, on February 22, Lincoln had ordered a general attack with an army of 500,000. The Northern Army won successive victories on the Western Front, almost opening up the Mississippi River, the main artery between the north and the south. The Navy also conquered New Orleans, the largest port in the South. Even in the Eastern Theater, the Northern Army suffered successive defeats, but for the North, they all believed that the war would end this year.

Of course, this is not to say that there is no bad news – the biggest bad news is probably a diplomatic failure. Before the navy launched an attack on New Orleans, China announced that it recognized the "American Alliance", and even with the victory of New Orleans, this diplomatic defeat could not be concealed, and this was the first time that the "American Alliance" really broke the diplomatic blockade of the North.

It was also since then that Washington's diplomatic relations with China fell to a freezing point, and even China's ambassador was expelled from Washington – expelled from Washington, of course, and the United States did not sever diplomatic relations with China. But everyone knows that the relationship between China and the United States, like China and the United Kingdom, has fallen to a freezing point.

Long Island, which is remembered by New Yorkers as little more than cornfields, vegetable patches and forests, attracted the attention of public opinion a few years ago, when it welcomed a group of guests from China four years ago — hundreds of Chinese guests from the former Qing Empire who had left China on American warships and merchant ships, as well as members of the royal family.

After they arrived in the United States, in the face of the cold attitude of the US government, Yixun, as the "king of the dead country", chose to settle down on Long Island after several considerations, and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on Long Island to buy nearly 100 square miles of land, and then settled on this land, and even built a palace with oriental architectural colors.

Although they took away tens of millions of dollars worth of gold and silver when they fled, they were almost empty, although they made some real estate investments, but because the income was extremely ordinary, they were just barely trying to maintain a decent life. The opulent palaces and the houses scattered throughout the estate belonged to the former Qing magnates, meaninglessly flaunting the wealth and status they once had, although all that remained for them now was the "titles" such as Lord Belle Ye, which amazed the Americans.

And, of course, there's the "royal palace" that Americans yearn for, and even now, for New York's wealthy people known as "nouveau riche," they are still proud to be able to attend dinner and stay overnight. After all, this is the "royal garden".

At this time, in this oriental-style "royal garden", several so-called royal nobles in robes and horse coats are huddled in the pavilion of the "imperial garden", biting each other's ears and chattering something, and in that obscene and satisfied look, there will always be a trace of excitement from time to time.

“…… This time, Washington's side, because of the Chinese of rebellion with the South, decided not only to expel their ambassadors, but also to deal with them with the British in the future...... This king discussed with the emperor, this time in addition to sending people to Washington to inquire about the news, to Lincoln to show support, but also to contact the British, now, the British let Han rebel's four attacks to make a mess, that Claes Consul, has expressed support for us several times, but now the key is how we can let them see our strength, and then win the support of Britain and the United States......"

The person who spoke was the seventh brother of the Tongzhi Emperor, the owner of this mansion, Yi Xun, and like the others, he was also a guy who had killed Emperor Kaihong and a number of civil and military generals of the Chinese Dynasty countless times in his heart and mouth, and if nothing else, he could even find a villain with a curse in his mansion.

"Can they support us?"

Xu Tong, who was born in the blue banner of the Han army, gave up the last opportunity to "abandon the dark and turn to the light", but chose to be a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, and went into exile with the emperor, although he only received a gift of 100 US dollars per month, but it did not prevent him from loyally offering advice to the emperor.

"Yes, of course I will support us, Xu Hanlin,"

Turning his head to look at this Xu Tong, Yi Xun knew very well that this Xu Hanlin was different from those who led the emperor to give "Enlu" but did not work, this Xu Tong used all his energy to run errands for the emperor, at most he bought a building in New York - for those ministers in exile in the United States, most of them have one thing in common, that is, to invest in real estate in New York. Others say no, it is Yi Xun himself, who has purchased more than a dozen buildings in New York, and even the emperor has also purchased more than one million dollars of real estate in New York.

Compared with the capital, the building in New York is simply the price of cabbage, in some places only tens of thousands of dollars can buy a building, more than 1,000 dollars can buy a piece of land, more than 10,000 dollars can build a building, for these come to the United States, do not know what to invest in the royal family, princes and ministers, investment in real estate is the best choice, even, because of their purchase, but also led to the rise of housing prices in New York, of course, for them, buying a house or building a house to receive rent, just like in the domestic land rent, It is an extremely stable business, far more stable than investing in railways, stocks, etc.

In fact, it's not that they don't want to invest in others, the most fundamental reason is that they don't know foreign languages, so they naturally don't dare to get involved in other businesses easily, but Xu Tong is different, he learned foreign languages on the ship that came to the United States, and now he speaks fluent English, just listening to him, he can't even tell that he is not an American, but even so, he is worried about the emperor's errands all day long, waiting in front of the emperor all day long, instead of going to the city to look for opportunities to make a fortune.

He's a loyal servant, but ...... Hey, it's a Han military flag!

The Han people are unreliable, if after the loss of the country, what impact does it have on the emperor and the princes and nobles of the Manchu Dynasty, I am afraid that they are convinced of this, if it were not for those Han ministers who betrayed the court one by one, how could the Qing Dynasty lose so quickly.

The so-called princes and dukes of the Chinese Dynasty, a few of them were not born in the Great Qing Dynasty, and they were not favored by the emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty, but in the end, they ...... They are all Han people, Han people are unreliable, Han people are not credible, but these words can only be hidden in everyone's hearts, after all, there are still a small half of Han ministers in the "imperial court".

"As long as we can let those foreign devils see that under the rule of that traitor, people are still facing us, when the time comes, they will naturally support us! With the support of the foreigners, coupled with the fact that the Chinese Dynasty is now at war with the foreigners, they will be defeated by the foreign devils sooner or later, and when the time comes, our Great Qing Kingdom will naturally be able to restore the country! ”

Although it is reasonable, Xu Tong hesitated for a moment and then said,

"Even if the foreigner is willing to help us because of the Han rebellion and the war with them, I'm afraid they won't really come to help us!"

The understanding of foreigners makes Xu Tong very clear that foreigners have always been unprofitable and cannot afford to be early, and for foreigners, if there are not enough benefits, they will definitely not help the Qing Dynasty.

"That's for sure, the emperor has agreed, and when the time comes, all the colonies made by the Han rebel will be returned to the foreigners, if they are still not satisfied, like Burma, Vietnam or something, give them too, it's really not good, even if you cut some land, it's not a big deal......"

With a casual sentence, he abandoned all the overseas colonies that the Chinese Dynasty spent nearly ten years, spent millions of funds, and sacrificed the lives of tens of thousands of immigrants to get back, not only that, but even wanted to cede land, the prince's words made Xu Tong stunned at first, and after a moment of surprise, he nodded in agreement.

"Well, this is also a way, the Han rebels against the foreigners, the foreigners will definitely do everything possible to fight the Han rebellion, if we can deal with one or two internally, the foreigners will naturally be willing, if they can allow their land and goods again, the foreigners will be willing to drive for the court......"

Although the so-called imperial court is only in this small one-acre and three-point land, for them, they are still accustomed to such titles.

"Moreover, more importantly, now the people in the country have long been dissatisfied with the Han rebellion, since the Han rebellion usurped the country, its reform of the holy religion, incest, the abolition of the imperial examination, the flow of civilians, the gentry, the promotion of profiteers, everything is unpopular, and so on, if the imperial court can send people to the country to raise the banner of righteousness, the people in the country will definitely respond, and then our Qing Dynasty can restore the country......"

Although far away in the United States, but Xu Tong has been paying attention to every move in the country, in his opinion, the Chinese Dynasty implemented those things, all of them are a disaster to the country and the people, and he from the letter of a friend, also obtained in the country, the Chinese Dynasty's "new deal" has long been the common anger of the people and gods, according to those friends in the letter, now the difference in the country is only "Chen Sheng Wu Guang", it seems that in his opinion, as long as someone raises the flag of rebellion in the country, then the unpopular Chinese Dynasty will naturally disappear, Just like when they raised the flag against the Qing Dynasty,

In the past, they opposed the Qing Dynasty because in their eyes, the Qing Dynasty was always a foreigner, but now, after witnessing the actions of the Chinese Dynasty to "bring disaster to the country and the people", they have had enough of the "chaotic government" of the Chinese Dynasty, and naturally their hearts are also set to the Qing Dynasty, and now is the time for the Qing Dynasty to restore the country.

Therefore, Xu Tong will believe that as long as the imperial court sends people back to China now, it can naturally raise the banner of righteousness and restore the Qing Dynasty. Of course, he was still thinking in his heart, even if it was not good, with their domestic strategy, the foreigners would naturally see the prestige of the Great Qing Kingdom in the country, and they would naturally support the Great Qing Kingdom.

"That's right, the emperor thinks so too, now that the Chinese Dynasty has lost the hearts of the people, it is time for me to wait for Kuang to restore the Qing Dynasty!"

Yi Xun immediately spoke in agreement.

"So then, the imperial court is ready to send people back to the country to contact people with lofty ideals from all sides, and prepare to raise troops!"

When Yi Xun said this, he looked at Xu Tong, and that gaze made Xu Tong's heart suddenly tighten, and he immediately understood why the prince invited him over.

"Lord Wang, the minister, the minister is a minister......

Could it be ...... Realizing that he might be sent back to China, Xu Tong immediately said nervously.

"Besides, the minister, the minister is alone, how can he succeed!"

"Alas, look at you, isn't that Prime Minister Wen also a Wenchen! Besides, the emperor didn't let you go alone, the emperor has already decided to take out a sum of money from the inner treasury, one is to buy a boat, and the other is to recruit soldiers! ”

"Recruitment? Lord Wang, there are not many Chinese in this United States to recruit soldiers! ”

As soon as Xu Tong's words fell, Yi Xun explained.

"It's easy to recruit soldiers, but the United States doesn't have it, so let's go to Africa to find it, if this Han rebel says that he has done something good, it is to flow a lot of Han army flag bannermen to Africa......"

For the banner people, the Chinese Dynasty is different from the opposite, the real banner people are still building railways in the country, serving hard labor, the people who caused the Han army flag, now have already been flowed to Africa, that is hundreds of thousands of people!

"Lord, what do you mean?"

Looking at the prince in surprise, Xu Tong immediately understood what the prince meant, he wanted to recruit courage from Africa,

"As long as we recruit hundreds of soldiers, after they return to China, together with the banner of righteousness, we will inevitably have the response of the whole country, and things will be done at that time, but such a man is of course difficult to find, and it is estimated that it will not be possible to do it without hundreds of thousands, so the emperor has really made up his mind this time, and took out 500,000 from the treasury, and asked Xu Hanlin to take over the emperor's will for the sake of our Great Qing Kingdom and for the emperor, as long as the Great Qing Kingdom is restored, when the time comes, he will not be punished for the nine ......clans surnamed Zhu."

Although there is a limit to obscenity, but when it comes to these, Yiyun still seems to see that any emperor has been conquered, that Zhu Yifeng hanged himself from a tree like him Chongzhen, and when the time came, his head was thrown on the street, like a leather ball, and he was kicked around by those who asked for food.

The thought of those heads being kicked around by a group of Hanako made Yi Xun's fingers tremble with excitement, and impatient words followed.

"Xu Hanlin, when the time comes, Xu Hanlin will naturally be the first hero of my Great Qing Dynasty to restore the country, even if he is crowned king, he is not ......"

Staring at Xu Tong, Yiyun's tone had an unquestionable taste,

The reason why the emperor chose Xu Tong was because he was loyal, and secondly, because he was Han and because he was loyal, so he would definitely not refuse the emperor's will, because he was Han, so even if he was unsuccessful, he would die.

Of course, there is another point, that is, he is young, but he is only in his thirties, if he doesn't go, who will?

In the face of Yi Xun's words, although he knew that taking over this will could be said to be nine deaths, Xu Tong did not have a trace of panic and uneasiness, as if some kind of destiny was coming to him, all of which was taken for granted.

"Your Majesty, when will you see the minions?"

Asked first, Xu Tong added.

"The slave hopes that before returning to China, he can kowtow to the emperor first......"
