706, one word to prosper the country and one word to extinguish (2)

Mazarin was not an idiot, he was one of the best politicians and diplomats of his time, so he was able to inherit the mantle of Richelieu and continue to lead France to great power.

10 million Chinese immigrants, this is impossible, but as long as 100,000 immigrants are enough, it is enough to pose a mortal threat to the future of France, and then France can only come forward to organize the **Xia League to drive the Chinese power out of Europa.

But thinking of the strength of the Huaxia Navy, Mazaran knew very well that even if France could do this, it would inevitably have to pay a heavy price. In this case, it is better to sacrifice England in exchange for twenty years of peace, and in twenty years, Europa's own steam ironclad battleships should also be able to form combat effectiveness.

"This is the ironclad battleship."

With a muttering voice, Mazaran moved, and with the help of his attendants, began to step onto the gangway.

Out of diplomatic etiquette, Ma Shiying greeted him on the dock, and after seeing him trembling and walking onto the Huaqing, Ma Shiying followed.

The rest of the envoys, such as Spain, Portugal and Sweden, had already arrived.

In this meeting, Xu Zhong and Ma Shiying planned for more than a month, during which the Huaqing did not fight, the rest of the Huaxia warships attacked the coast of England several times, and had sunk seventeen large and small warships of England, while they maintained a record of zero casualties. England also tried to fight back, sending a fleet and even spies to attack the base camp of the Chinese fleet in Lisbon, only to blow up and sink an auxiliary ship.

The disparity in strength between the two sides was too obvious to discourage the last wavering of the Europa countries, since everyone wanted to be on the side of the victor rather than the loser.

"This is Bishop Mazaran, when I was still in China, I heard Mr. Dardanion say that you, Europa's leading wise man, it is indeed my honor to meet you on the Huaqing."

Ma Zaran had only just stepped onto the deck, and before he could carefully examine the situation around him, he was greeted by a man in a Chinese dress who greeted him with a smile. When Ma Zaran saw that the other party was so young, his heart sank slightly.

Xu Zhong, the foreign minister of Huaxia, he had heard of it a long time ago, this was a very difficult figure to deal with, and he didn't expect the other party to be so young. I heard that the emperor of Huaxia is only about forty years old, and he is in the prime of life and full of energy, and this distant Huaxia country is really full of talents.

It seems that it is necessary to reflect on the problem of the French system, perhaps, the large-scale introduction of scholars from the Chinese country can change the French system?

"Your Excellency, I am also honored to meet you." Ma Zaran and Xu Zhonghan quarreled.

The envoys of the rest of the countries stepped forward to salute, and when they were in a group, Huang Zongxi stood on another boat with Niu Yu and was looking this way.

They will leave Europa and return to China.

"Ma Yaocao, you have done such a career, after you go back, you will definitely be promoted, right?"

Seeing that the people on the Huaqing entered the cabin, only Ma Shiying got on the ship with an entourage, Huang Zongxi couldn't help but sneer.

"Huang Taichong, the old man is old, he knows that he can't go, he doesn't know how to advance or retreat, it is the way to take trouble, so after returning to the court, he doesn't want to take any more real positions."

Ma Shiying's words, Huang Zongxi didn't believe it at all, the older this old man is, the stronger his desire for power will be, he will give up high-ranking officials and show his talents, and dogs will not eat.

"I heard that you Ma Yaocao wrote a letter back to China last time, and it was posted on the Huanyu Daily, and you said that you would extend the age of leave from sixty to sixty-five years old, the reason is that otherwise, my Huaxia pension matter cannot be solved." Huang Zongxi sneered.

This is a public case in the past two years, because of the large-scale construction, the funds of the Chinese court have actually been a little tight in recent years, but Yu Guozhen, in order to calm the people's hearts, strongly advocated that all Chinese officials, workers and scholars, who have no land, as long as they have worked in China for 20 years according to the registration, to the age of 60, they can receive a "retirement pension", the amount of money is not much at the beginning, and it is not even enough to fully support a person's livelihood, but this expenditure still puts a heavy burden on the Chinese court. After Ma Shiying learned about this situation, he thought that he was smart, thinking that Yu Guozhen had promised when he said this, and it was difficult to recover it at this time, he was a eunuch, and he had always disregarded his reputation and only wanted to vote for his boss's favor, so he publicly suggested that the age of this pension be extended from sixty to sixty-five.

The result is, of course, that Yu Guozhen was criticized by name, and Yu Guozhen's original words Huang Zongxi still remembers: As an official, he is raised by nobles and nobles, and he has authority in his hands, so he naturally hopes that the later the time to take a break, the better, and it is best to let go when he is breathing. But those people toiled all day long, bearing not only the taxes of the state, but also the military service and conscription of the state, and finally reached old age, and wanted to spend their old age in peace, but even this right was lost by others, and those who proposed this proposal were inhumane if they had no other purpose.

This criticism was extremely serious, and Ma Shiying was really panicked during that time, only afraid that Yu Guozhen would send someone to take him away. is not afraid of death, Yu Guozhen has been on the throne for so many years, and no one has been killed.

"Huang Taichong, do you think the old man is a person who can't go to the stack? It's just that the imperial court still wants me to be useful, and Huaxia still wants me to be useful, so I have to reluctantly make it difficult. Sharing worries for the monarch and solving problems for the country is the true color of my generation. Like you, cherish the feathers and keep it alone, but what good can it do in the world? What have you done over the years? ”

"I have taught disciples who will carry forward my Confucianism in Europa!"

"That bull blunt who followed you? It just so happened that I also took in a disciple when I was in the Holy Roman Kingdom...... Come to the minister, why don't you come to pay a visit to Mr. Huang Taichong? ”

Huang Zongxi only noticed at this time that there was also a Europa boy behind Ma Shiying, this young man was different from Niu Dut, and he seemed to have a very good life. ”

Mandarin is also very good.

Huang Zongxi glanced at his disciple Niu Du, then at the minister, and returned the salute: "Ma Yaocao, this name must have been given by you, minister, minister, haha, your will is all in it." ”

"His real name is similar to this, hence this name."

The minister was only a teenager, and he had a sleek temperament, and when he saw the division commanders chatting together, although the two sides were sneering, it looked like a joke between old friends for many years. Therefore, he saluted to Niu and said, "In the lower ministers, Zifuge, I have seen Brother Niu." ”

Niu Dull returned the salute, but he didn't say a word, and his expression was slightly arrogant.

The two are close in age, so they went to the side, each other through the Chinese name, and the real name, it turned out that the minister's real name is to Bunitz, is the Holy Roman Leipzig people, the family is wealthy, since childhood read tirelessly, known as a prodigy, these years of learning from the East to the West, for Europa philosophy and sociology, humanities has added a lot of content, to the minister entrusted people, worship under Ma Shiying, even Ma Shiying fancied, this time is with Ma Shiying to study in China. Not only did he come, but even his mother, who couldn't worry about her son, followed the boat.

This made Niu Du, who had a bad relationship with his mother, both envious and jealous, so he looked at the ministers who came to him unpleasantly, and was not very willing to answer him.

But no matter how unwilling they are to answer, thousands of miles by sea, even if it takes nearly three months for a Chinese-built steamship to arrive, they are still familiar with it. When the steamship passed the Cape of Good Hope under the escort of the West Sea Fleet detachment under the Huaxia rotation, the two of them were already standing in the bow of the ship together, pointing to the sea and talking.

"It's taken more than 20 days, but unfortunately, there is no railway connecting Huaxia and Europa, I heard that the railway in Huaxia can go 50 kilometers per hour, a day continuously, you can go 600 kilometers, there are 20 days, you can probably go from Huaxia to Leipzig."

"That can't be, the railway can't pass through the frozen soil of Siberia, and it can't pass through the places controlled by the Russians! I think it's more realistic to open a canal between the Red Sea and the Mediterranean, and if we can go from there, we won't have to make a detour here. ”

"It's impossible, the Ottomans won't allow us to do this!"

"It doesn't matter if he allows it or not, what matters is whether Huaxia is willing or not, if Huaxia is willing, then the Ottomans must submit, I'm sure of this, sooner or later the Huaxia people will make this request, time is money, little brother of the auxiliary pavilion, you are still too naΓ―ve."

"It seems that you have a lot of confidence in Huaxia? Aren't you English, and your country is facing a tragedy when we come. ”

"Those sinners deserve it, and my ideal is to pursue the truth, and I am a member of the country where the truth is." Niu Yu is not completely worried about the fate of Yingli, but in front of Laibuchen, he doesn't want to show his feelings for Yingli, he vaguely feels that Laibuchen will become his biggest competitor.

"I learned the truth in Huaxia, and then brought the truth back to England, even if England was the only one left, I could learn the ability to make it rich and strong...... Just like Huaxia, justice, order, and strength and wealth! ”

He thought to himself.

"You're right, so I decided to use my strength to serve that great emperor in Huaxia Kingdom." Lai Buchen held his head high, his eyes full of longing: "I have heard my mentor say that he is a legendary hero, a wise commander, a philosopher, and the greatest inventor. His words can make a corrupt and depraved country prosper, and in the same way, his words can also make a strong country perish! Being able to serve such a hero is the highest value of my life! ”

The ambitions of the two are not the same, but when they heard the ministers mention Yu Guozhen, Niu Yu was also full of admiration. Although in Huang Zongxi's mouth, Yu Guozhen is more often criticized, but in addition to criticism, Niu Yu also understands that it is actually a dispute between Huang Zongxi and the emperor's different ideas. Huang Zongxi's character and ability for that emperor are actually admired from the deepest part of his heart.

Little did they know that, at the same time as they saw the Cape of Good Hope, Europa's lengthy negotiations and bargaining had finally come to fruition, and that the division of England was inevitable, and that the title of King of Ireland would be removed from the title of King of Ireland as Ma Shiying had originally proposed.
