The summer palace, which is the name of the Guling Palace, is different from the Chinese imperial palace in Nanjing or the imperial capital under normal construction, the summer palace is a gorgeous Western-style palace in the classical style, and the well-designed scenery outside the summer palace, this has always been the most fashionable and charming manor in the whole Guling.

Of course, this is not open to the public, after all, this is the royal palace, but compared to the royal thin people, perhaps this palace is also too big, therefore, there are more than a dozen villas in the manor, often, here are rewarded to close to the noble ministers, for them to spend the summer with their families. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and compared with the palatial palaces, these Chinese or European-style villas are undoubtedly more like home, and they are the royal places away from the hustle and bustle of the world.

Among these villas, Zhu Yifeng, who is also the emperor's favorite, is a Chinese-style villa designed by himself, its style is very similar to the Tang style, which is a return to the architectural style - relatively simple and does not see the Tang architectural style of red and green, which is widely used in the construction of the imperial capital, and this villa designed by Zhu Yifeng himself, its appearance looks more modern, of course, because of the use of glass windows, the light in the villa is excellent, and the dimness brought by the small windows of the Ming and Qing dynasties is not seen.

Different from the fabrications and speculations of people in the outside world, Zhu Yifeng, as the emperor, has very little time in the summer palace, and when he is in the summer, he will spend more than half of his time in this "home", and even like an ordinary parent, he takes his children to play and laugh nearby, and there is no image of the so-called "Ninth Five-Year Honor" at all.

Just like now, Li Ziyuan, who is a neighbor, seems to be a little scared - because His Majesty is roasting meat there, and as a courtier, he can only stand on the sidelines, and he has no idea what to do. Although the weather was not hot, his back was constantly sweating.

If there is anything in the world, now Li Ziyuan must prefer to go to a certain club on Guling Street, drink a few glasses of wine, smoke a few cigars, and then hug a gentle Japanese maid in his arms, or a Korean maid, after all, Japanese maids' teeth are not good-looking, of course, if you are interested, there are maids from the Middle East and the West.

That's life, that's enjoyment.

But now, he just stood here in fear, watching His Majesty grilling lamb skewers there, and listening to His Majesty's words about the way of barbecue.

“…… The meat of this Huanghuai white goat is delicious, which is very suitable for barbecue, eating barbecue and drinking cold beer is a kind of summer enjoyment, and when the weather is cold, you can only eat hot pot......"

Zhu Yifeng said this, and did not stop shaking those large skewers of mutton, if barbecue was just a hobby in the past, now it is undoubtedly through the "guidance of famous teachers" and the guidance of Xinjiang -- they are grateful to the imperial army for saving them from the "clutches" of the bandits.

Shi Dakai, who had been "driven" all the way to the northwest, was finally driven out of Xinjiang a few months ago, and a huge contingent of more than 600,000 bandits and their close family members were driven out of the country by the imperial army and driven to the Kokand Khanate in Central Asia, thus China was finally reunified, and as the price of the Taiping army's calamity in Xinjiang, Xinjiang, which once had a population of one million, could be said to be ten rooms and nine empty, and the remaining population was only tens of thousands -- hundreds of thousands of women were robbed by the bandits.

For the bandits, they were engaged in a holy war, a holy war of faith against faith, and even the Church of God, which was influenced by Mormonism, underwent a radical change and reformulated its doctrine by drawing on Mormon doctrine. Believers believe that Jesus Christ appeared to Shi Dakai with Heavenly Father and called him to be a prophet rather than a son of God.

Zhu Yifeng was naturally not interested in this religious war in Central Asia, just like the "war of faith" in which Liang Zuoshan and others, who occupied Shuofang Dao, who occupied Shuofang Road three years ago, killed people and seized cities, wives and daughters, he also chose to remain silent, and to a certain extent, he did not mind that the rapidly changed Worship of God existed in China as a religion and replaced some foreign religions in some areas.

However, it does not mean that he will reject the cuisine of the Northwest, barbecue is one of them, and Zhu Yifeng himself also likes to barbecue himself.

The aroma of barbecue meat is permeating, even if he is a little scared, Li Ziyuan still has to admit that this meat is very fragrant!

"Your Majesty, the Russian side has once again protested to us, believing that because we have supplied Shi Dakai with a large number of weapons, it has led to its expansion in Central Asia......"

As the earliest minister of the dragon, Li Ziyuan is not only the secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but also one of the six ministers who were awarded the title of duke when the emperor was knighted by Changfeng, and it is precisely because of this that the "imperial grace" fully embodied in him.

When referring to the protest of the Russians, he took a special look at His Majesty, Shi Dakai was not "driven" to Central Asia, but "sent out of the country as a gift", and even received more than 100,000 guns and cannons captured from the Qing army and handed them over in exchange for their departure.

"Don't pay attention to him, Shi Cheng sent troops to rob our arsenal, and we can't do anything about it! In order to prevent Xinjiang from being infiltrated by bandits, in addition to strengthening border defense and prohibiting bandits and foreign refugees from entering, it is more important to immigrate to the real border, I think that we can relocate the people of northern Shaanxi and barren counties in Gansu, Xinjiang has more than 2 million square kilometers, but after the remnants of the bandits, the population is less than 100,000, and the brutality of the bandits can be seen in general, and today the bandits are in Central Asia, destroying temples, reducing the number of people, robbing girls to give birth to offspring, and for the stability of the northwest, it is necessary to consolidate the border defense, and we must not let an outsider enter Xinjiang......

Although His Majesty's words were "righteous and awe-inspiring", Li Ziyuan vaguely noticed that the corners of His Majesty's lips seemed to have a smile, which was related to the army's "suppression of rebellion" in Yunnan, Qinghai and other places, as well as the tacit contempt for the atrocities of Taoist bandits in Xinjiang and Shuofang, especially after the surrender of Liang Zuoshan in Shuofangdao at the end, and even sealed the Hou. In contrast, even if he has killed a common man in Yunnan, he will never let go, no exile, no trial, and direct military law!

In any case, those people are Hermes-Epitek...... Perhaps, this is the reason why His Majesty has no intention of killing them all, this is so similar to the previous Ming, Your Majesty is still too soft-hearted.

"The railway, must be built as soon as possible, through the railway to Xinjiang, the railway is not passable, the northwest is difficult to solidify, especially now that the people of Xinjiang do not exist, I don't know how many foreign rebels break in, but I have ordered the local garrison, for this kind of entry of foreign people to expel at a rate, but this is not a way, in the end it is still necessary to rely on immigration, five million immigrants in ten years, Xinjiang can be stable, even if the Kingdom of Heaven has a firm foothold in Central Asia, it will not have any impact on the overall situation of Xinjiang!"

At that time, Xinjiang was naturally no different from the inland provinces, and to some extent it may be thanks to Shi Dakai, if he had not "fled westward" at the beginning, Shuofangdao and the Xinjiang issue would not have been solved so easily, because without the turmoil in history that led to the decrease of 20 million in the population of the northwest, the population of Shaanxi and Gansu is obviously somewhat overpopulated, and the immigration to Xinjiang, where there are no people in ten rooms and nine empty people, can not only solve the border problem, but also solve the problem of overpopulation in the two places.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Because he was involved in civil affairs that had nothing to do with him, Li Ziyuan sensibly chose to respond with sycophants.

Zhu Yifeng, who had long been accustomed to this, did not say anything, but changed the topic and asked.

"How are our negotiations with the United States going?"

After learning that there was no progress, Zhu Yifeng was silent for a moment, and then handed the grilled mutton skewers to Li Ziyuan, and only after he thanked him did he speak.

"Keep talking to them!"

After eating a piece of meat and feeling the refreshment of the large piece of meat, Zhu Yifeng took another sip of cold beer, which was brewed in a brewery in Wuchang, and was originally German ...... No, there is no Germany yet, it is a Bavarian beer, and the taste is by no means comparable to that of later American industrial beers.

"Your Majesty, I think that now that the negotiations have reached an impasse, it is necessary to send a fleet to the United States in order to be able to make the United States make concessions!"

Send a fleet to the United States!

When Li Ziyuan made this suggestion, Zhu Yifeng's brows couldn't help but rise, and four words "gunboat diplomacy" immediately appeared in his mind.

"Gunboat diplomacy!"

Reading these four words in his mouth, the smile on Zhu Yifeng's face became thicker and thicker, in another world, how powerful is the United States, and now it ...... And what can they do in the face of ironclads that "visit" the United States? Not bad! Not bad indeed!

"Yes, Your Majesty, the role of the fleet is to raise the prestige of the country thousands of miles away, if the fleet does not visit the United States, the United States will certainly not be able to feel the pressure, and it will be impossible to make substantive commitments, therefore, I think that the plan now should be to send a fleet to visit the United States! Put pressure on the American side! ”

When putting forward this suggestion of gunboat diplomacy, Li Ziyuan deliberately looked at His Majesty, and from the look on His Majesty's face, he understood that His Majesty would definitely agree to his proposal.

"So you think we should send a fleet to visit there?"

"San Francisco, after all, our diaspora is hurt there!"

When Li Ziyuan pointed out the destination, Zhu Yifeng smiled/

"San Francisco, it's too far!"

When shaking his head to reject this suggestion, Zhu Yifeng ate another bite of meat,

"It's too far from the political center of the United States, I think that since we want to visit the United States, then the fleet must give them enough shock, the west is too remote, or visit the east coast, just visit New York!"

New York!

Thinking that China's warships would arrive in New York and launch gunboat diplomacy with the United States, so as to protect the interests of overseas Chinese in the United States, Zhu Yifeng's heart was full of excitement.

"New York is the largest city in the United States, and almost every migrant enters the United States through New York, and when our warships arrive there, they can deter the United States to the greatest extent and tell them that we have the ability to send the fleet to their doorstep!"

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Yifeng continued.

"It is better to send the fleet from within the country, and you can visit the colonies in Africa first, after all, now the European countries have expressed serious dissatisfaction with our actions in Africa, and the British even think that our expansion into South Africa is detrimental to their interests, and the French have not proposed that Africa should be divided by the countries through consultation?"

Referring to the issue of Africa, Zhu Yifeng couldn't help sneering, with China's continuous expansion in Africa, European countries have re-examined the land that they have neglected, the so-called "international consultation" was proposed by the French, supported by some small European countries, and even Britain also expressed support.

China, which has spent so much money to colonize Africa, is of course impossible to accept this, as early as two months ago, when the British ambassador to China tried for the first time, Zhu Yifeng rejected their idea with a tough attitude, but they will certainly not give up.

"We sent the fleet over and used the fleet to inspect the colonies to tell those Westerners that the African colonies are ours, and no one wants to take ......"

Three years ago, Zhu Yifeng might have made some concessions due to his strength, but now, he will never make the slightest concession on the issue of interests, especially on the issue of African colonization related to the country's future.

"We not only want to send the fleet over, but also send more garrisons, to move more immigrants there, the Ministry of Colonial Affairs promises that in the next ten years, five million immigrants will be sent to Africa, this is absolutely not enough, Africa is so big, more than six million immigrants is far from enough, ten years later, there should be no less than 10 million Chinese immigrants and 2 million "honorary Chinese", forty years later, there should be no less than 80 million Chinese and "honorary Chinese", and so, to ensure that Africa will always be the overseas province of the empire......"

Although he had received "new century education" and believed in "equality of all beings", Zhu Yifeng was irreversibly "assimilated" by this era, he never opposed the "apartheid" imposed by colonization, and also supported the ban on blacks entering China...... However, it is not that there are no blacks, there are some blacks in the zoos in Nanjing, Guangzhou, Tianjin and other places, but they are displayed as "ethnographic exhibits", and there are similar "ethnographic zoos" in zoos in Europe.

As an "imperialist", in his heart, China is naturally the first, and as other "political correctness" belonging to the 21st century, it is naturally not within his scope of consideration.

"Your Majesty, if you say this, it is bound to arouse the vigilance of European countries against our country!"

Li Ziyuan timely reminded that it is a fait accompli that European countries cannot sit idly by and watch China's control over Africa, and sending fleets to inspect the colonies and increase the military strength of the colonies is undoubtedly intensifying the contradictions.

"No!"

Shaking his head, Zhu Yifeng said in an extremely affirmative tone.

"We are not intensifying the contradictions with the countries of Europe, and if the contradictions cannot be avoided, then our weakness is likely to be considered bulliable! At this time, we need to show a tougher side! To hell with those Westerners! ”
