After a few days, the Manchu court did not get any news about the "short-haired thieves" attacking the city, but instead got the news that the army of "short-haired thieves" had retreated, which calmed down the frightened hearts of the ministers a little. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, Li Hongzhang could not rest assured, and even if the army of the "short-haired thieves" retreated, he had to quickly mobilize the army to prevent the "short-haired thieves" from attacking the surrounding provinces.

The Manchu court was horrified when the Manchu court learned of the defeat of the 150,000-strong army, but the reactions of the great powers who also learned the news were mixed.

As early as the seventies of the nineteenth century, the book sent a large number of spies to China, collecting intelligence while drawing a detailed map of China, and during the war, the map of China in the hands of the book was actually more accurate than the map in Chinese own hands, how terrible it was.

From the attack on Taiwan to the invasion of Ryukyu, this has always been worried about the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and there is no way to worry about the Manchu Qing Dynasty, except for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he can't afford to provoke anyone, so he can only find a way to take a bite from the Manchu Qing.

Ryukyu was invaded by the Emperor, the Manchus could only resist silently, and now the Emperor has taken a fancy to North Korea, but there is no good opportunity to start, although the Manchus have been extremely weak in the eyes of the Emperor, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, no matter how weak it is, it is not a small RB that can resist.

Ryukyu said that if it is occupied, it will be occupied, after all, it is only an island country, the place is not big, and it is far away from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it is relatively close to the capital, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty can only resist silently for a small Ryukyu It is not good to make a big move.

But North Korea is different, North Korea has always been the little brother of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, hard work, North Korea and the Manchu Qing land border, once the Manchu Qing moved troops to invade Korea, the Manchu Qing will definitely send a large army to help Korea, at that time the face of the huge Manchu Qing had no chance of winning.

Now it's different, when he learned that there was another large-scale rebellion in the interior of the Manchu Dynasty, he almost jumped up with joy, and even some senior officials thought that if this rebellion could not continue, he should help behind his back and let the Manchus be in chaos, so that he could prepare to occupy Korea.

The subsequent development was beyond the expectations of the rebels, I didn't expect the rebel army to be so strong, the Manchu army of 150,000 was actually defeated, you must know that the man himself did not have the confidence to defeat this strong army in such a short time, the rebels actually could, and then sent spies in the territory of the Manchu Qing to Siqi Province to check the strength of the rebels.

However, he firmly believed that the Manchu Qing Dynasty could not be overthrown by the rebel army so easily, and the huge Manchu Qing could arm an army of millions (well, an army equipped with cold weapons), and it would not matter if the Manchus were dragged down by the rebellion, and the longer the delay, the better, it was best to wait until the Korean rebellion was not over, then the occupation of Korea would become an established fact, and then give the Manchu a period of time to develop, and the Manchus would not want to take back Korea.

So he began to prepare for the occupation of Korea, increasing military spending, expanding the army, and so on.

Tsarist Russia was happy to see the rebellion in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, especially the defeat of the 150,000 army, and even happier was that Zuo Zongtang, the great enemy of Tsarist Russia, also died, and Tsarist Russia was eager to give Yan Xueyi a medal to commemorate Yan Xueyi's contribution to Tsarist Russia.

Tsarist Russia and the Manchu Qing have a considerable part of the border, and at the same time, Tsarist Russia is also a very fanatical country for territory, even the frozen soil like Siberia does not let go, and then Tsarist Russia is worried about the Manchu Qing with the same vast territory, but the logistics of Tsarist Russia are too poor to launch a large army to attack the Manchu Qing, otherwise the Manchu Qing will be the meat of Tsarist Russia early in the morning.

Now that the Manchus are being messed up within, and Zuo Zongtang, the great enemy of Tsarist Russia, is also dead, Tsarist Russia feels that the opportunity has come, and it can take this opportunity to tear off a large piece of meat on the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Increase troops, increase troops, must increase troops, Tsarist Russia decided to do it, but this time is already several years later, in this era the transmission of information is slow, Tsarist Russia is also slow to increase troops, logistics are even worse, if you want to bite a big bite from the Manchus, you have to wait a few years.

Also, don't forget, now in charge of the Manchu military affairs is Li Hongzhang, Li Hongzhang is a rare person in the Manchu Qing Dynasty who understands, although Li Hongzhang transferred troops from all over the country, but the army defending the border Li Hongzhang basically will not mobilize much, Li Hongzhang does not want the country to suffer from internal strife and be attacked by foreign enemies.

In addition to Ben and Tsarist Russia, the happiest country is France.

The French were targeting one of the Manchu brothers, Vietnam.

Before the 19th century, French Catholic forces had invaded Vietnam, and during the Second Opium War between Britain and France against China, France began to invade southern Vietnam by force, making six provinces in southern Vietnam a French colony.

In the eighties of the nineteenth century, the French wanted to occupy the whole of Vietnam, but the Manchus were an obstacle that could not be overcome, and France had already made up their minds to fight the Manchus in order to gain dominance over Vietnam.

Unexpectedly, before the war started, there was a civil strife in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the whole Manchu Qing was concentrating on dealing with the rebel army.

What the French didn't expect was that the 150,000 Manchu army could be defeated by the chaotic army, could the Manchus be so weak?

The French did not believe it, only thought that it was an accident, and no one other than the Han army would think that the Han army was equipped with the most advanced firearms in the world, and defeating the Manchus was just a piece of cake.

However, taking advantage of the fact that the attention of the Manchus was attracted by the chaotic army, the French decided to launch an offensive in advance and occupy the whole of Vietnam.

After that, the British, Britain has regarded the Manchu Qing as its own back garden, the source of raw materials, the dumping place of goods, once the Manchu civil strife occurred, the impact on Britain was great, Britain hoped that the Manchu Qing could maintain stability, but did not want the Manchu Qing to become strong.

Now that there is civil strife in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the 150,000 army has been defeated, this is not good news, what Britain needs is a stable back garden, not a chaotic back garden, at the necessary moment, Britain will provide all kinds of help to the Manchu Qing, of course, these help are all need to spend money, and it is impossible to give it to the Manchu Qing in vain.

In addition to Ben, Tsarist Russia, France, and Britain, the United States, Italy, Austria-Hungary, Germany and other powers all had different manifestations of the Manchu civil strife, and the specific circumstances will not be described one by one.
