Whether it is He Shen or Liu Yong, they are both veterans of the two dynasties at the time of the Qing Dynasty, and they are very knowledgeable, not to mention knowledge, and have a very deep understanding of the history of the Qing Dynasty. As soon as Yang Lin finished speaking, the two of them thought of a thing, and He Shen said directly: "Your Majesty, there is no objection to the use of troops in North Korea.www.biquge.info However, there is a strong enemy in the north of the Great Guangzhou Dynasty, and Tsarist Russia has been watching our territory, and once we fight with Korea, this northern barbarian is very likely to use troops to invade Mongolia. ”

"Your Majesty, you have a good point with the minister, and it is not unreasonable to be worried. Since the Battle of Yaksa during the Kangxi period, although the Nebuchu Treaty was concluded with Tsarist Russia, this Russia has always been a thief, frequently provoked, often harassed the people on the border, did some things of burning, killing and looting, and the large and small wars have never stopped. Liu added.

However, in the face of the kind reminders of the two, Yang Lin seemed to be very unconcerned, as if the Tsarist Russia in the north did not pose a threat, but looked at He Shen and suddenly asked, "Minister He, how is the French mission arranged?" Receiving foreign missions, but it is the duty of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of your Honglu Temple. ”

Although he was anxious and worried that Tsarist Russia in the north would invade Mongolia, He Shen still resisted the impulse in his chest and replied calmly: "Your Majesty, the French mission has been settled, and it lives in the post station where the imperial court receives foreign missions, and there is a special person to take care of it, and you can meet you at any time." ”

"Okay, it's good, then I'll be relieved." Yang Lin nodded lightly with satisfaction, his tone paused, and then he said: "Premier Liu, and the minister, I will introduce you to a person, after listening to his speech, you can put your heart in your stomach and no longer worry about the invasion of Tsarist Russia, a strong enemy in the north." ”

At this moment, without waiting for the two of them to react, Yang Lin slapped his hands in the air, and after two snaps, he saw a person walking in, it was Yang Sanda, the general person in charge of Yang Lin's appointment to study in Europe, specializing in collecting some advanced technologies in the West and people with outstanding talents in some aspects.

In the end, it was still the young He Shen who reacted, looked at Yang Sanda who walked in slowly, and then put his attention back on Yang Lin's body, and asked, "Your Majesty, who is this .....?" ”

However, Yang Lin did not answer, but smiled meaningfully, and asked instead of answering: "Minister He, you are the person in charge of Honglu Temple, the minister of foreign affairs, when you received the visiting delegation of France, didn't you see him?" ”

He Shen's head shook like a rattle, and he said very seriously: "Your Majesty, Weichen has not seen it, and the translators of the French mission are Min Yide and Liu Huayang, and I have not seen this person." ”

Yang Lin didn't care much about He Shen's answer, and after he finished speaking, Yang Sanda had already stepped forward and said politely: "Meet the emperor, I have met Premier Liu and Minister He." ”

Liu Yong and He Shen are such smart people, the person in front of them is extraordinary, and there is no hint of humility between walking, it is obvious that this person who came suddenly without knowing what it is called, is very valued by the emperor.

Thinking back to the conversation just now, the two already had some kind of guess, this person should be with the French mission. Otherwise, the emperor would not have said some of his previous words and turned a blind eye to the threat of Tsarist Russia.

As soon as Yang Sanda stood still, Yang Lin's right hand stretched out, pointed and said: "This is Yang Sanda, in the past, I asked him to go to Europe to do some things, this time it was very coincidental, it happened to pass with the French mission, and he came back from the West on the same ship." ”

Liu Yong and He Shen nodded politely, and the latter had a hint of understanding, when receiving the French mission, why didn't those foreigners rush to see the emperor? It's just a symbolic inquiry, when will the emperor summon them?

If it had been the past, the representatives of those foreigners' missions would have begged him and Shen a long time ago. Now everything is understood, so it is, with the emperor, the person around him, as a backer, as a help, why not see the emperor?

This thought flashed through He Shen's mind, and then, he only heard Yang Lin say again: "Sanda, what do you tell me about the background of the French mission's visit this time, what is the situation in Europe?" ”

A word woke up the dreamer, Liu Yong and He Shen both heard another deep meaning, the French mission is not as before, purely want to have friendly exchanges with the Great Guangzhou Dynasty, but has some kind of intention, before the two of them think deeply, Yang Sanda's voice has already come: "Yes, the emperor~!" ”

After a slight pause, Yang Sanda's expression narrowed, became extremely solemn, looked at Liu Yong and He Shen, and saw that the two of them were listening carefully, so he returned his gaze to Yang Lin's body, and said in a deep voice: "Emperor Qiqi, here's the thing, today's Europe, is very unpeaceful, wars are frequent, a bit like the ancient Warring States Period, European countries joined forces and formed alliances to fight against the increasingly powerful France, a country known for its extremely powerful army. ”

In just a few sentences, the three of them have a very three-dimensional and vivid understanding of the current situation in Europe, Yang Sanda used the relationship between the countries during the Warring States period to analogize the general situation of the West, which shows how chaotic the West is at this time, large and small wars, and various upcoming wars break out at any time.

Of course, Yang Sanda didn't know what the three of them were thinking, and he was still continuing his topic.

Before Wechen's return, France and the anti-French alliance led by Britain were about to submit a peace treaty. However, in the opinion of the micro-ministers, this peace will never last more than two months, and now Europe should be fighting again. ”

"In Europe, France is known for its army, the king of land warfare, and has few rivals. Coupled with Napoleon's outstanding military prowess and outstanding political qualities, France will never stop there, and will definitely compete with the European countries and conquer them one by one. ”

In just three paragraphs, the amount of information is extremely large, almost a huge amount of information, which not only points out the current situation in Europe, but also points out the purpose of the French mission, which is to form an alliance with the Great Canton Dynasty, to form an alliance across Asia and Europe, so as to confront other countries together.

Yang Sanda didn't tell again, he stood there very quietly, Yang Lin thought a lot, Liu Yong and He Shen also thought of some things, especially the words that the emperor said before Yang Sanda appeared: "Premier Liu, and minister, I will introduce you to a person, after listening to his speech, you can put your heart in your stomach and no longer worry about the invasion of Tsarist Russia, a strong enemy in the north." ”

Liu Yong and He Shen's minds flashed this sentence at the same time, and they seemed to have reached some kind of consensus, the two looked at each other very tacitly, nodded slightly, and the latter looked at Yang Sanda and asked: "That, may I ask, which countries are part of the anti-French alliance?" ”

Yang Sanda only hesitated for a moment, saw Yang Lin nodding in acquiescence, and then opened his mouth and said: "Minister He, the countries of the anti-French alliance mainly include the monarchies of Britain, Portugal, Spain, Russia, and Prussia, and the kings of those countries are worried that their heads will be cut off like the king of France. Therefore, very much resistance to the existence of the French Republic. ”

He Shen and Liu Yong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, from these lists, the two heard the country they wanted, that is, Russia. As long as Tsarist Russia was involved in the war in Europe, it would be impossible for him to invade the Great Canton Dynasty from the north.

Then, when the Daguang Dynasty invaded Korea, there was no other worry.

At this moment, Yang Lin was thinking about another thing, the beginning of the nineteenth century, which was the time when the United States was expanding its territory. During this period, due to the drag of the war in Europe, those old colonial powers gradually could not control the occupied territories in the Americas, and due to the lack of various military expenditures, the financial deficit increased significantly, and various factors combined, they began to sell their colonies in the Americas cheaply.

For example, France sold twice the size of its colony, Louisiana in the Americas; Russia begged to sell Alaska at a very low price......

It was during this period that the United States greatly expanded its territory through wars, annexations, purchases, and other means, and for a time became the fourth largest country in the world in terms of land area, laying a strategic foundation for later development.

Of course, it also laid hidden dangers for the future Civil War.

However, Yang Lin is not thinking about these problems, today's Daguang Dynasty, the most important thing is money, although the annual financial income is not astronomical, but it is more than ten times that of the Qing Dynasty, and buying a few American territories is like playing.

Moreover, the financial revenues of the Great Guangzhou Dynasty are constantly rising, and there are still some coastal cities that have not been opened up, and once the national strength of the Great Guangzhou Dynasty is fully restored and the economy is fully activated, then the peasants will be really exempted from agricultural taxes and will no longer be subject to the collection of public grain.

Yang Lin thought a lot, as long as he bought a state in the Americas. Then, the Great Guangzhou Dynasty will have a place, gain a firm foothold, and can garrison troops there, imitate the United States, wantonly annex land, expand territory, and provide an opportunity for global unification in the future!

At this moment, when Yang Lin was still in YY, Yang Sanda's voice sounded again, and the content of the words just verified He Shen's guess.

"Your Majesty, so far, the French diplomatic mission has been in place for three days, when are you free to meet them?"

Hearing this, Yang Lin immediately sobered up, and was about to say something, but He Shen suddenly interjected: "Mr. Yang, it has only been three days since the French diplomatic mission came, and the emperor summoned them so quickly to discuss the alliance, does it seem that the Great Guangzhou Dynasty is too proactive, which is not conducive to the initiative of negotiations in the later stage?" ”

As soon as this remark came out, although it was embarrassing, what He Shen said was not unreasonable? In the negotiation process, it is very important to take the initiative, if either side shows too much concern and eagerness. Then, he lost the opportunity and lost part of the initiative.

However, Yang Sanda didn't think about this, he was more calm in his heart, without distractions, and knew deeply that this alliance was a win-win situation. Therefore, as soon as He Shen's words fell, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, forming an alliance is a great benefit for our Daguang Dynasty, and France is also in a hurry, the sooner we are summoned, the more we can reflect our sincerity~!" ”
