Chapter 281: The Game of Diplomacy

Yan Fu, who was sitting opposite Qin Kai, naturally didn't know that the feudal official opposite was playing with his idea, but just now he talked to **, but he had a lot of questions about the theory of industrial rejuvenation, and he hurriedly arched his hand to ask Qin Kai for advice, "Governor Qin, I heard what ** said, the rise of industry is bound to turn more farmers into workers, and more farmland is annexed, which seems to be a little out of line with the way of a sage!" ”

How could this kind of small problem be Qin Kai, he immediately cited it, from industrial efficiency, natural selection to the formation of a monopoly trust profiteering industrial chain, although it is only a superficial taste, but it is a self-contained system! The more Yan Fu listened, the more surprised he became, and his surprise and admiration had already been revealed in his complex and changeable eyes.

You must know that although this era is the development stage of industrial technology explosion, the circulation of information is far behind the progress of technology, not to mention the pure economic things mentioned by Qin Kai, which naturally sounds unfathomable, but it is very reasonable when you think about it.

Seeing Yan Fu's eyes becoming more and more detached, Qin Kai knew that the purpose of his high-minded talk had been achieved, but he didn't expect a long conversation to make people follow the saddle before and after the horse, that was the bloody plot in the storytelling! What's more, the current Yan Fu is not the Yan Fu he needs, so he might as well let him grow up here slowly.

After listening to Qin Kai's eloquent talk, Yan Fu turned his head to look at the ** on the side, obviously a lot of the content he heard today was also the first time for this person, and he was taking out a notebook very carefully to record...... No wonder this ** talking about his teacher, he is a kind of worship, this is definitely for a reason!

He pondered for a while, raised a few questions, and discussed with Qin Kai with his experience in England, this early history of capitalism is undoubtedly a history of blood and tears of the working people, and the theory of squeezing surplus value immediately made Yan Fu's eyes shine again, and now he also has the idea of worshipping, this governor is too talented!

Qin Kai smiled and talked to Yan Fu about dinner time, this conversation was already unabated, and he called for wine and food to eat and talk, Yan Fu was surprised to find that the governor was sitting with his own soldiers without restraint, without the slightest shelf of the temple officials, so that his meal was extra relaxed......

At the time of separation, he unexpectedly received a big gift box from Qin Kai, and he was dead...... Is it giving me money? Looking at the character of this Governor, it shouldn't be so cheesy......

Qin Kai naturally guessed this guy's thoughts, and said with a smile: "This is a few foreign books I have collected, Huxley's "Theory of Heavenly Evolution", Kant's Critical Three Volumes, Spencer's Social Darwinism, Hegelian Idealism, Marx's Materialism, if a few brothers can spread the essence of these ideas in China, combined with the 5,000-year-old civilization of our great country, this is a matter of contemporary and beneficial to the future, you must not do it!" ”

Yan Fu only had a slight understanding of these schools of European thought, but today, when he saw this Governor of Qin talking casually, he was deeply moved by his deep hopes for himself, and he was busy taking this package respectfully.

At the end, Qin Kai naturally didn't forget to catch talents for himself, leaned over to Yan Fu's ear, and whispered: "A few brothers, there is still a little sī matter, if there are people with excellent character and learning in the Beiyang Sailor Academy, you might as well recommend me to come to my Nanyang Sailor!" ”

Yan Fu was sweating, this one who came over and poached by the way, if he let the adults of Zhongtang know, it seems that he can't do it as the head teacher of the school, but ...... This minister of Nanyang and the governor of Liangguang, Lord Qin, is not inferior to Lord Li Zhongtang at all, at least in terms of knowledge and foresight, it can be said that he is far better than Zhongtang, and he has a very happy conversation today, and he also admires this governor of a similar age very much, how can he refrain from this little thing......

Thinking of this, Yan Fu nodded solemnly!

The next day, Zhou Fu hurriedly came to the door, but today he didn't come to talk to Qin Kai about the conditions, he said all the things that the French consul came to the door to ask for the law, and naturally he didn't forget to carefully observe the expression of the governor, but he was a little disappointed, this Governor Qin had that expression from beginning to end, and he completely looked like he had nothing to do with himself.

After Zhou Fu finished speaking, Qin Kai frowned and said: "Brother Wushan, this matter has nothing to do with me, I was also ordered by the imperial court to train the Vietnamese army, and the control of this batch of troops was handed over to the Vietnamese side last month, they should be in charge of the army by Zhendong General Ruan Puxing, as for the person in charge, it should be Zuo Prime Minister Song Xing, I don't count this matter!" ”,

Zhou Fu had a black line on his face, and said that you didn't count, these soldiers were all trained by you, and you know the heads and brains of the Vietnamese so clearly, will you have no influence? The ghost doesn't believe it! But this Governor Qin doesn't admit it, no one in Shanghai in this world can force him to admit anything, or do something!

The Governor of Zhili's Yamen was noisy, and the French consul stayed in the Yamen and did not leave, looking at this situation, the French were indeed unbearable, and damn it, their own side did not know anything about the course of the war...... It's also aggrieved to think about it, this French is really a waste, now even the Vietnamese army can't beat it, I knew that Lord Zhongtang didn't have to suffer such a big loss in the treaty, and the adult was saddled with this infamy!

But after thinking about this matter yesterday and Lord Zhongtang, no one can really come out to solve it, except for this Lord Qincha of Yuebei, there is no second choice, now Li Zhongtang and Zhou Fu thought of the matter of the governor of Guangxi, how can there be such a coincidental thing, he has just negotiated conditions with Zhao Liewen, and something came out here to ask for the door!

This Qin Spirit's method is really good...... This is Chiguoguo's conspiracy!

Now not only the French are making a fuss, but also the ministers of the five countries who participated in the mediation have also begun to move stupidly, what a bastard, what do you think of the Qing Dynasty - a big piece of fat!

Thinking of this, he could only soften his body and discuss with Qin Kai well, asking this Lord Qincha to go to Yuebei to mediate...... As soon as he asked for help in this matter, the position of the governor of Guangxi over there couldn't stand upright, Zhao Liewen fanned the flames next to him, and Zhou Fu couldn't be the master, so he went back and discussed it with Li Zhongtang.

The two sides intrigued and negotiated for a few days, but on the third day, only Zhao Liewen remained in Tianjin, and asked about the whereabouts of the Governor of Qin, Zhao Liewen said that there was something to go, as if he had gone to Shanghai, so that Zhou Fu was not clear for a while, wondering if this Governor of Qin was doing something again!

And in the past few days, the things about the north of Vietnam have not only been noisy in Tianjin, but also in Beijing, and the boring children of the Qingliu and Manchu magnates above the court have been very dissatisfied with the "Sino-French New Covenant" signed by Li Zhongtang, and they just took the opportunity to play on the topic, the French in Vietnam are weak like this, and even the Vietnamese soldiers can't resist it, not to mention the elite of the Qing Dynasty!

In the wine shop in the hat alley of the capital city, the suave Pan Bosheng Pan Gongzi is carrying bragging and farting with the second son of the prime minister's Yamen Qingjun Wangfu, and there are a lot of yellow and red belts on the side.

However, for when he was down, he just got acquainted with Pan Bosheng, this carry is very different, this Pan Gongzi has a great background, and he is young and golden, and he can be described as smelly......

Qingliu naturally seized the opportunity to attack this cold ass of the foreign adult, Lord Li Zhongtang, and those Manchu children, yellow belts, and red belts, the whole thing is to see the interesting things in this matter, of course, these Manchu children who eat hardcore crops, that is purely idle and panicked, state affairs are a fart to him, and there is fun gossip content that is right.

"Did you hear that the French are at war in Vietnam again!" Zai is the most enthusiastic about bragging, and this is an important opportunity to show his family's high power!

"General, what's the news, it's fun!"

"The second big and young, there is a new joke again......"

There were already interesting children eating snacks next to him, shouting loudly, these Eight Banners children can't leave Beijing without anything, and now to participate in the Eight Banners Army to mix a future, it is even more despised by all relatives, the Eight Banners Army is a den of thieves, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling all day long, anyway, there will never be a chance to go into battle, where to mix, it is better to mix at home, anyway, eat the same hardcore crops.

This carry is the second son, naturally he can't inherit his father's title of Qingjun Wang, which is the patent of his eldest brother, but as a son of the county prince's family, he can also mix the title of a second-class Fengguo general, so in his circle, he is called a general, but in fact, he is just a third-grade military attaché.

Carrying a flattery to a few dog meat brothers, the strength came in the morning, picked up a few salted peanuts and threw them in his mouth, chewed and chewed before he spoke, "We have this news, but there is no new thing in the "declaration" in the past few days, Li Lao Thief signed a treaty with his French to sell his ancestors, and this is a slap in the face to the Vietnamese......

"What's the matter! What can those two or five boys in Vietnam do, the general will tell me quickly! "These relatives and nobles, the children of the Eight Banners, have never taken those royal laws and systems seriously, in this era, there are many people who cut their braids and shaved their heads, anyway, they are making a fuss over and over again, as for Li Zhongtang, who everyone looks up to, they can also be called an old thief in their mouths!

As soon as he heard that the brothers below were energetic, General Fengguo naturally talked about it a lot, "I don't know, a few days ago, the king of Vietnam sent a letter of state to our court, which was Xie Daqing's soldiers and horses for them to defeat the French people, and in the letter of state, he also publicly proposed to abolish the two Saigon treaties between the king of Vietnam and the French who died in the early years!" ”

"I'll it, what does this Vietnamese king look like, he has more bones than the old thief Li!" Immediately, someone started to scold, causing a burst of laughter.

"Captain Koro, don't talk about it, how do I know what this Vietnamese king looks like, but the bones are definitely harder than those of the old thief," Zai Haha laughed, "Yesterday, I just heard the news, these days the French are like rabbits with burning butts, running into my Ama Yamen every day, do you know what's going on!" ”

“……”

"General Fengguo, don't sell Guanzi, let's honor you with a pot of good twenty-five years Chen Site wine," someone had already squeezed in while speaking, but it was Prince Yi's Beizi Zaiheng, who also led a group of Eight Banners relatives and idlers to come over, and everyone laughed for a while, this good wine taken out of the Prince's Mansion is a good thing!

The family that carries it is not as expensive as this Prince Yi Beizi, but Prince Yi is just an idle prince now, although he is a hereditary iron hat, but he has suppressed the Queen Mother in the early years, and in terms of power, it may not be as good as the king of Qingjun who is in the limelight, but the sons of their family are also confidants of wine and meat, and there is no conflict of interest.

"Master Pei, you are also here, I am going to decide on these four special wines, you hurry up and get it, you will serve the wine, I will serve the snacks, let's have a good time!" Zai saw that everyone was squeezing his table, this is popular, and it is naturally more prosperous, "I finally found out, it turns out that the Vietnamese Erwuzai and the French have done it, guess how this battle will be won or lost?" ”

Prince Yi's Beizi Zaiheng laughed, "Zaijiao, you sell it here...... Don't guess, the French must be deflated, otherwise how would they find your Amma's yamen! ”

As soon as these words came out, the children of the Eight Banners were all in a fuss, what are the French people doing in the foreign power, fighting with our Daqing, if they lose, it will be forgotten, and they will fight with our Daqing vassal country Vietnam, and they will also be defeated, now these idlers have found a place to vent, and immediately move Li Lao Thief out to criticize and fight, but they are also very happy, and they are extremely comfortable!

Pan Bosheng sat on the side with a smile on his face, but his heart was as calm as water, mixed among the children of the Eight Banners, it can be said that he lived in strange talk every day, these people are not stupid idiots, but they spend all their energy on how to play, how to make trouble, how to eat and drink, in their mouths, the news up and down the Qing Dynasty is casually talked about as a joke...... And that's exactly why I'm part of the system.

There are many Baylors, Beizi, Guogong, and generals here, but a person who looks like a dog is full of hooligans, except for not going out to fight in open fire, killing people and setting fires, there is really nothing that these people dare not do......

The life here shocked and surprised him, but now his identity, he is also working very hard to become one of them, but he has never been able to understand why these people can live in this world like this from generation to generation, they don't study, they don't work, they are all imaginary about the world outside the imperial city, they only live in their own fantasy world.

Such a group of people actually occupy the top of the empire, and a person as wise and capable as Lord Qin has worked hard to maintain such a system...... This caused him to have too many ideological conflicts, and this qiē was recorded by him many years later in his "Miscellaneous Records of Pan Gong", which became an important reference for the rise of the entire Nanyang system.

However, the purpose of creating a storm in the capital seems to have been achieved, and tomorrow, those relatives and conservatives who have nothing to do will definitely use this matter to make some trouble, in their opinion, Li Zhongtang's huge power is an important reason for the loss of power of their relatives and nobles.

By May 8, the news of North Vietnam became clearer, and even the British "Declaration" published the news of the war in North Vietnam, the French were routed for hundreds of miles, and the Vietnamese army, after occupying the Ha Tinh Pass, seemed to have stopped attacking, but the frightened mercenaries of the French had completely abandoned the practice of direct confrontation on the front line. ,

They built a large number of fortifications on the front line of Binh Duong Province, and used the hills and rivers of dozens of miles from Binh Duong Province to Ha Tinh Province as a military buffer zone, and did not build fortifications, but only built a small number of early warning posts, which shows that they have completely lost confidence in resisting the other side's attack, and even Binh Duong Province has been included in the plan to abandon it......

The Vietnamese side did not make any further plans except for the delivery of credentials to the Qing government and the French authorities, but continued to strengthen the Ha Tinh area, which controlled zhì, and did not withdraw the main force, while the 10 battalions of the Sixie Ma Long Division, which had higher combat effectiveness in the follow-up servant army, entered the Ha Tinh area and quickly built fortresses on several military points.

Immediately following into Ha Tinh were a large number of Freemasons and officials who had taken over the county, and after several days of military control, calm was quickly restored to the area, and the only thing that made the local natives feel the atmosphere of war was the army patrolling the streets.

The French were apparently completely disoriented by this sudden but swift blow, but diplomatic negotiations in Peking and Tientsin made no progress, and after the intervention of the British, Russian, and German ambassadors, the Prime Minister Yamen finally came up with a plan that made the French stunned.

Qin Kai, the minister of Nanyang, and the governor of Liangguang was fully responsible for contacting the French side and negotiating to resolve the regional disputes between France and the Vietnamese dynasty.

And this temporary Qincha lord actually played the disappearance directly, and what is even worse is that in the few days that this Qincha lord played missing, Ha Jing's army launched several small-scale operations again, but did not attack the French-controlled city on a large scale, but took away the strategic points on many important roads leading to Ha Jing!

The surrounding French forces had completely lost confidence in a head-on confrontation, and even though it was an attack by the Vietnamese servants, they were able to accomplish their mission with almost negligible resistance.

In this regard, the French were completely unaware of the intentions of the Vietnamese, so did they want to attack the French-controlled area of Cochinchina in an all-out way? If this happens, it will be a disaster for South Vietnam, which has been cut off from domestic support for more than half a year, and what is even more serious is that due to the military defeat of the French, local indigenous people have occurred in many parts of southern Vietnam, and the situation is really a mess.
