Chapter 428: Making Enemies

For any unstable factors that occur in the country, the government of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom did not hesitate to take resolute military measures, no matter who you are, as long as you dare Nima to attack the government crookedly and incite dissatisfaction, the culprits will be severely punished, and the lowest is to cut off the head, which is generally executed by Ling Chi, after the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom, in terms of justice, the barbaric policy of the Manchu era is still retained,

Because of the economic turmoil, there were several local rebellions, and some of the suppressed bandits rose again, and in some border areas, there were also riots based on ethnic nature, Luo Yang immediately dispatched troops to suppress them, and did not hesitate to use cannons and new rifles to drown them in a pool of blood.

Betraying the country for glory, stupidity is incorrigible, and it has become the comment of the upper officials and ordinary gentlemen at this time on the government of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom, the highest authority,

In the autumn of 1867, the total value of French investment in China was 10 billion francs, and the scale of British investment in China soared to 7 billion pounds, and as for the sales of commerce, the two countries together had reached a total share of 60 percent of China.

Of course, in order to deal with some crises in the process of grand strategy, Luoyang has also taken a lot of measures to achieve certain results, otherwise, the social crisis will be much more serious.

In the extremely fragile agricultural production, Luoyang has not taken any measures for the time being, a silk migrant worker, naturally full of feelings for agriculture, but all kinds of development and progress, there are no conditions, can only be dealt with temporarily, for example, the promotion of high-yield crops sweet potato, in response to a wide range of natural disasters, and sent a large number of personnel, deep into the people's homes to promote and promote, so, in just two years, the amount of sweet potato cultivation in the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom has increased tenfold,

The yield of sweet potato, ordinary can produce more than 2,000 catties per year, to about 4,000 catties, even if the slices are dried, there is also considerable, and a large number of locust disasters rarely harm sweet potatoes, therefore, the effect of killing multiple birds with one stone,

The government also organized the people to rectify water conservancy in many places and expand the scope of irrigated land.

The state also set up a special research institute to study new crop varieties, of course, at that time, the world did not have such a good level of agricultural scientific research, Luo Yang personally served as the chief engineer, planning and research guidance, so that these institutions found a direction of development,

Because after the land reform, the amount of land in the hands of farmers expanded, so the government strengthened local intervention and forcibly organized some production, for example, the cultivation of sweet potatoes, many people were unwilling, so the government agreed to levy taxes in kind, such as how many dried sweet potatoes are collected per acre of land, etc.

What is more significant is the industrial aspect, Luo Yang happily agreed to the French industrial investment, in fact, when tempting and deceiving people to come in, there are conditions, you must use how many Chinese workers, among them, technically, you must help China train, otherwise, it is a threat,

After the British intervened, the Chinese government took advantage of the conditions of the competition between the two powers, and made profits, left and right, suppressed the two countries, and made both countries agree to train Chinese workers.

Of course, Luo Yang also knows that whether people in these countries train or not train Chinese skilled workers, how much knowledge they can cultivate, they can't expect too much, they can only strive for as much as they want.

It can be said that the introduction of a large number of British and French industries has greatly exacerbated the economic crisis and social contradictions in Chinese society, and has also prompted Luoyang to accelerate the pace of political and diplomatic strategies.

In the autumn of this year, Luo Yang formally proposed to Russia to negotiate the territorial issue in the north.

This is a good topic, firstly, it can divert the domestic contradictions and turn the focus, and secondly, it is also the premise of the international strategy, Luo Yang formally proposed to the Russian Tsarist Russia through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, asking them to return all the Chinese territory stolen in the war, and the Russian minister received the credentials, immediately transferred them to the country, and at the same time, made representations to the Chinese side to oppose the untrustworthy behavior of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom government: "The change of the northern territory was specially negotiated between Russia and the Qing Empire, and there was an official document signed, so, It is hoped that the government of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom should abide by this fait accompli. ”

Seeing Zhang Zhidong's indignant look, the new Russian minister, Duke Jacques, said with a smile: "The changes in these northern territories have nothing to do with the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom. ”

In fact, Minister Jacques did not say all the words, before and after the rise of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom, when the Qing army was fighting fiercely in Beijing, the Russian tsar had sent the governor of the Far East to gather troops, ready to take the opportunity to seize China's northeast Outer Mongolia and other regions, but Huaxia Tian** was brave and good at fighting, and quickly won, and he wanted to blackmail the captured Qing government and quickly ended the war, which made Russia quite regretful.

"No, we hope that the Russian Tsarist Government can be rational and return the territory that originally belonged to China to China, otherwise, the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom Government will definitely not tolerate it." Zhang Zhidong got Luo Yang's instructions, so he was naturally not polite to the Russians.

Minister Jacques was also angry: "The land of any country in the world does not belong to itself, but to the creation of nature, the merit of God, do you know that perhaps those places must have been the last place for the Russians to go?" ”

The truth cannot be spoken, because once the truth leaves the principle conditions, it is ** and hooligan, in fact, the words of the Russian minister are not unreasonable, the gains and losses of national sovereignty rely on fists,

"No, China's territory must be returned, we cannot tolerate any country stealing the land of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom and the Chinese nation, every inch of land is precious." Zhang Zhidong did not hesitate to warn the Russian envoy that the government of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom had been patient with this matter for a long time, and the representatives of the military were already eager to try.

The Duke of Jacques, of course, was shocked, and immediately transferred the extremely tough statement of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom to the country, and the Russian tsarist government immediately discussed the matter, and soon replied to those regions: "These areas, which have belonged to the Russian government for many years, are Russian territory, and any government and anyone who wants to seize it are delusional, and the Russian government and people will defend it with their own cannons and corpses." ”

After Luo Yang saw the telegram that was forwarded, he deeply sighed for the Russian Tsar: "Nima, look at the words of others, it is like words." ”

The Luoyang government made it clear that Russia did not keep its word, and took advantage of China's domestic state of war, the attack of Britain and France, and stabbed China in the back to illegally seek benefits, so it must be spit out.

Zhang Zhidong led a large team of diplomatic representatives, negotiated with Jacques first, and told the Russians, "If we can't recover those territories in time, our people will not agree, so we must fight for it." ”

Not only that, but the government of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom also made out its own demands and disseminated them to the ministers of various countries, imploring them to support China's just demands.

Very easily, the government of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom created a new enemy,
