"Take peace as the precious, make certain concessions to Britain and France, buy time for the imperial court to suppress the southern rebellion and bandits, and we are not afraid to settle accounts, and when we are strong, we will fight back soon?"

Guo Ye didn't think about it, so he threw out his opinion, now that Britain and France are powerful, China is worried about internal and external troubles, and it is unwise to want to fight with others, it is very unwise, willing to give, willing to give, and only if you give up, you can really let people enter Beijing, then it is not only a matter of compensation and opening a port, all face will be lost!

"Guo Ye! What nonsense are you talking about! Harmony is precious? Isn't that just groveling to foreign devils? As a general, the most indispensable thing is integrity, don't you even have such a backbone? Darn! ”

Monk Greenqin's face turned red, and he shouted angrily, this kid is too a bastard, talking in front of the two, he is still so unscrupulous, this special person has a long dog!

"The monk king is angry, let's just discuss it in private, if there are any outsiders, don't worry about it like this, but I think what Guo Ye said is quite reasonable, Guo Ye, you go on......"

Prince Gong listened to Guo Ye's words, his eyes lit up slightly, and he lightly interrupted Monk Lingqin's words.

Guo Ye smiled awkwardly and replied: "Monk and prince, in fact, peace is precious, it doesn't mean that we just wag our tail at their foreign devils and beg for mercy, we must prepare for war with the most serious attitude, and be ready to negotiate at any time, and then meet each other in arms, but this is the worst plan, if we can not fight, we will not fight, and we will not be ashamed, Tang Taizong is so wise and martial, doesn't he still have the Weishui Alliance?" Offering money and grain to the Turks every year; As for Han Gaozu, he was surrounded by a white horse, and he relied on bribery to escape; Another disrespectful word, and our holy grandfather, is a model of forbearance, dealing with Ao Bai when he was young, and after being pro-government, and pro-Geerdan. However, the temporary forbearance and humiliation are just to be able to win a chance for the empire to recuperate, as long as we work hard, ten years of rest, ten years of recuperation, twenty years later, we can rush back to the top, and beat Britain and France to the north! ”

When Prince Gong heard this, he laughed, what Guo Ye said was too much for his spleen and stomach, how could he not be a person who waited forbearingly? The current emperor is doing everything possible to beware of him, leaving his talented self idle, and can only watch a group of wastes in the Chaogang corpse meal, but he knows that he can only endure it, compare with Xianfeng, Xianfeng's body is compared with himself, but the difference is not to be calculated, wait until Xianfeng dies, see who can still suppress himself! With the young emperor, the joke, he can be caged with a little heart!

Monk Greenqin was still a little unhappy in his heart, Guo Ye said this, if a literati said it, it would be fine, but Guo Ye is a general, a general who has just been promoted by the emperor, if he also says so, then what hope is there? A person without blood and courage will never be able to become a qualified general or a qualified commander.

Monk Greenqin snorted coldly: "What you say is better than what you sing, wait for? When will that be? Are we going to let the foreigners go against the grain, pay reparations, and cede land? Look at what the foreigners are doing, especially that Tsarist Russia, who actually asked us to cede thousands of miles of land east of the Ussuri River in one breath! This is all the foundation laid down by the ancestors with a knife and a shot, how can it be easy to allow people! ”

Guo Ye said with a smile: "What the monk said is reasonable, that's it, we must not give in, in the face of foreign devils, I didn't say that we must give in, I just said that peace is precious, there is a difference, especially now that Britain, the United States and France are jointly forcing the palace, and Tsarist Russia is just in the name of reconciliation, to coerce us, the four countries, we need to treat them separately!" ”

"Treat them separately?"

King Gong's eyes lit up and he asked, "How to treat them separately?" ”

Guo Ye replied: "Lord Gong, there are differences between Britain, the United States, France, and Russia, among which the Americans just want us to open our ports and trade freely; In addition to these two demands, the British and French also wanted to be able to set up concessions and consular offices in the country; And the Russians, they are the most greedy and tyrannical, and in addition to these, they want to annex our lands. The monk and the prince have a sentence that is the most reasonable, the ancestors fought down the country with a knife and a gun, and they must not let outsiders give more, otherwise, I am sorry for the ancestors and the ancestors, and I am sorry for the people of Li Min. Therefore, the point of my words is revealed, I think that our strategy is to befriend the United States, meet their certain wishes, trade is possible, investment and factory are welcome, so that our treasury can be enriched, why not? Second, to stabilize Britain and France, the two countries are also waging war in order to be able to dump goods more freely into the country, and the ultimate goal is to seek wealth, so what if we give them a little way to get rich? However, opium must be banned, and the establishment of mines and factories can be negotiated, and as for diplomatic institutions and missions, this has no effect on us, and it can facilitate our communication with other countries; Third, that is to severely refuse the land claims of Tsarist Russia, there must be no concessions, if he dares to send troops, then beat them back, if the two princes are willing, the emperor will allow it at that time, Guo Ye is willing to strangle the Ussuri River, and will not hesitate to fight with Tsarist Russia to the end! ”

At this time, the face of the monk Greenqin finally changed, Prince Gong continued to nod, distant and close attack, each broken, this is China's vertical and horizontal art, the pre-Qin era has reached its peak, but the prosperity of science in the past few hundred years, all the other schools have been suppressed, a group of sanctimonious physicists, at every turn to suppress people with righteousness, flaunting moral gentlemen, is really stupid.

Monk Lingqin then asked, "You are talking about the Tao, but why are you so sure that you can succeed?" Not to mention anything else, the conditions put forward by Britain and France are very harsh! ”

Guo Ye replied: "If there is a war, the number of victories and defeats is unpredictable, and once the war is defeated, it will also waste the country and compensate a large amount of money, which will outweigh the losses." First, the situation of the Americans is similar to ours, the situation at home is tense, and there are signs of rebellion in the south. Second, Britain and France have just experienced the so-called economic crisis and financial difficulties, and as long as we meet certain conditions for them, this matter is also negotiable; In the end, that is Tsarist Russia, Tsarist Russia is just a strong army, in fact, it is far inferior to Britain and France, big deal, let's fight with him! Give the boy 30,000 elite soldiers, and I will be able to make them come and go! ”
