It was almost at this time that the Japanese federal government basically cleaned up the opposition forces in the country, and the whole country strode towards a new society, and Shimazu Saibin, a member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, always believed in his heart that Japan should expand westward after modernization, either Korea or Taiwan, the former was a subject country of the Qing Dynasty, and the latter was the territory of the Qing Dynasty, that is, it competed with the neighboring superpower of the Qing Dynasty, so he had been paying attention to the current situation in the Qing Dynasty, and soon the news of the founding of the "Qing Shimbun" reached his ears. And he also got a newspaper to study carefully, and then was surprised, the originally stupid and incompetent Qing Empire suddenly set off a nationwide **** to open its eyes to the world, and no longer regarded itself as the superior country of the Celestial Empire, which was really unexpected by Qi Bin. {STARTER.}

Some resentful historians arbitrarily believe that all the Japanese and European powers just wanted to bully and divide the Qing Dynasty, while others believe that the West wants to help the Qing Dynasty move towards modern civilization. These are all one-sided views, how can there be such a united and neat good person or a bad person? People with military backgrounds such as Shimazu Saibin and Saigo Takamori naturally had a confrontational mentality, and the confrontation between military and political affairs was originally their own job, while mercantilists such as Katsura Kogoro and Mitsubishi Kisen Company's Yataro Iwasaki wanted the Qing system to be in line with the world so that the two sides could carry out dialogue and trade on an equal footing. The current Japan did not want a full-scale war with the Qing Dynasty, and it still relied on the protection of the East India Company to avoid the invasion of Russia, and it was impossible to fight for it even if it bought Alaska. Downing said to them, "Brothers, wait until my advanced heavy cruiser is built, and then give the Russians a little color."

The reporters of the Times followed the British diplomats to the Qing Dynasty to negotiate and were also killed, and they were of course quite angry, but even so, the Times had to admit that the "Qing News" run by the Qing Dynasty was quite standard, and compared with what the Qing Dynasty had done in the past, it had a kind of open-mindedness.

Britain and France demanded that diplomats be sent to see the Qing Emperor sign the Treaty of Peking, and that diplomats be accompanied by a thousand soldiers to protect them. Prince Gong thought that it was impossible for the imperial brother to agree, but "Xianfeng" actually agreed, which made him lose his eyes.

So, a thousand British troops and a thousand French troops marched to Rehe Miansheng with great force, pushing the glory of their victory to the fullest, while the subjects of the Qing Dynasty raised their hearts and livers to their throats, and the foreigners would not mess around, right? These two thousand soldiers can already crush the five scum imperial guards of the Qing Dynasty.

No one would have thought that the emperor's "imperial guards" were now equipped with desert eagles, one thousand against two thousand, and only two thousand British and French soldiers had died. The Desert Eagle has this benefit, and you can't usually see it when you put it away, and it's unfathomable. If the FN-1855 is equipped, even the blind can see that this is the Duke of London's man!

When the British minister Ergin met with Xianfeng, Tang Ning hid behind the curtain to "listen to the government", and Emperor Xianfeng was in good spirits because he had passed the most uncomfortable period of compulsory opium abstinence, but he was too lazy to speak, and he was not in charge of his own decisions anyway, and he didn't know if there would be a good day for him to be the master in this life. The most feared addictive drug in the world is heroin, a derivative of morphine, an active ingredient in opium, which becomes fat-soluble, so it can quickly cross the blood-brain barrier and bind to μ-opium receptors in the brain to exert its effects. If a person is infected with heroin, it will be miserable, and within 12 hours, the drug will have a violent onset of addiction, and the production of a strong physiological reaction that the body cannot function. And the difficulty of quitting opium in India, which is now of average purity, is far less than that of later generations with sophisticated pharmaceutical technology.

Not to mention opium, even heroin can be eradicated, and the most typical example here is Zhang Xueliang. Initially, Zhang smoked opium after the outbreak of the Second Zhibong War in 1924. In 1925, after Zhang Xueliang turned against Guo Songling, an instructor in the martial arts hall, the situation of Feng's department was critical, and Zhang was under too much pressure to use drugs to relieve his worries, so he gradually became addicted to drugs. In the summer of 1928, Zhang was determined to quit opium, and heard that Yang Yuting had adopted the Japanese imported injection drug Bawen Nailu, which was said to have a special effect on opium cessation, and asked his personal doctor Ma Yangwu to inject him. However, it was later learned that Baven Nalu contained a small amount of heroin, but Zhang had become addicted to morphine injections due to long-term use, and Zhang later became angry that Dr. Ma did not know the effect of the drug, so he dismissed Dr. Ma. In 1933, when Zhang's health became weaker and weaker in Shanghai, Song Ziwen and Duan Na persuaded Zhang to rehabilitate again before going abroad, and Zhang sent Dr. Miller, who was in charge of drug rehabilitation, to express his gratitude after his detoxification. Since then, Zhang has eradicated his drug addiction.

Tang Ning could have used a small amount of marijuana to alleviate the pain of Emperor Xianfeng's drug rehabilitation, but in order to show the punishment for the emperor's injustice, he directly and brutally forced him to detoxify. Again, although marijuana is hallucinogenic and hallucinating, it is even less addictive than tobacco and alcohol. Before Downing invented painkillers, Queen Victoria's way to relieve menstrual cramps was through the use of marijuana. Some governments talk about marijuana, opium, and heroin in order to promote drug rehabilitation, and these are all tricks used by adults to scare children. What if a family member becomes addicted to drugs? Nor should you be scared to death by the unscrupulous propaganda of unscrupulous governments? You don't have to, hurry up and send it to the drug rehabilitation center to finish. In the Netherlands, where liberalism is at its extreme, even heroin is legal.

In order to commend the emperor's success in drug rehabilitation, the "Emperor Taishang" Tang Ning specially allowed Emperor Xianfeng to have sex with his concubine, and Emperor Xianfeng's small life was still tasteful, which was much stronger than the big days when Song Huizong and his son were prisoners in the Jin Kingdom, so he was also willing to cooperate with Tang Ning to act.

Not only Emperor Xianfeng was willing to act, but several ministers who gradually recognized the reality were also there to cooperate, and when they appeared together in the picture signing scene report of "Daqing News", the people of Daqing finally temporarily recognized the current shameful court again. It turned out that some courtiers who were suspicious of the emperor's personality had changed greatly were also suspicious.

Later, the British minister and the French minister respectively said to their leaders, "It seems that the emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom is on the way." That's a good thing.

Tang Ning also sent Kuang Yuan, the right attendant of the military department, to discuss with Erjin, whether the British army can help the Qing Dynasty to exterminate the Taiping army, the cost, it is easy to discuss, and it will cost more money for the Qing Dynasty to fight it by itself, and the current Qing army, including the Hunan army of Zeng Guofan, is all scrap, and I don't know where the day of success in suppressing bandits is.

Tang Ning didn't like the Hunan army very much, Zeng Guofan and his younger brother Zeng Guoquan were both named "Zeng shaved his head", the Hunan army killed people like hemp, burned and killed, and gave this group of regiments with a revenge mentality to capture Tianjing, and I don't know how many innocent people will die.

Foreigners have three good, high efficiency, clear pricing, strict military discipline, and the sacking of the Old Summer Palace has been restrained by the chief, what else is there to worry about?

Tang Ning mainly wants to hire the British army, anyway, he has come from afar, so he will destroy the Taiping army, Hong Yang has also made trouble for too long, and the people's livelihood is withering, the sooner it is pacified, the better. The French army is forgotten, the military discipline is almost there, and they always want to loot.

Kuang Yuan talked about cooperation with foreigners, and regained a little bit of the feeling of being a minister of the Qin Mission, but now it is no longer the self-righteous Emperor Xianfeng who was talking about things, Kuang Yuan directly reported the results of his work to Tang Ning, and a strange feeling appeared in his heart.

Erjin reported to Palmerston that the Qing Dynasty was becoming more and more reliable, and he actually asked for military cooperation, do you want to help them? Otherwise, the Taiping army will also affect our business.

Palmerston thought the same way, authorizing Ergin to negotiate on behalf of the British government to suppress bandits.

After some bargaining, Kuang Yuan won a military contract for the British army for the Qing Dynasty at a price of 5 million taels, and Tang Ning expressed his approval and allowed the great hero Kuang Yuan to take his wife Ru to Rehe for reunion, and the other ministers expressed envy and jealousy.

Military cooperation can not only suppress bandits, but also resolve the hatred between the Qing Dynasty and the British, although it is correct to be political, but since the invasion of foreigners, basically do not disturb the people, some bold people even take eggs and vegetables to trade with foreigners. What really makes the people feel that the people's livelihood is in distress is not the foreigners who come to sabotage, but the Cantonese bandits who cause chaos and cause prices to soar and the displaced people everywhere. The regular army of the Qing Dynasty is similar to the bandits, everywhere they go is to exploit the people, pigs and dogs are not as good, and the foreign adults are now turning their guns to fight the Cantonese bandits, and the world applauds. When the Cantonese bandits retreat, the leaders of those bandits may also retreat, which is the blessing of the people.

After the signing of the Treaty of Beijing, 2,000 soldiers of the East India Company withdrew from the coalition forces and stayed in the Old Summer Palace to protect the garden.

This foreigner is really faithful, and he almost entered Baoshan and returned empty-handed. After this incident, Prince Gong's good impression of foreigners increased greatly. Regarding the auction of the Old Summer Palace, he also thought that no one dared to buy it, it was just a useless promise. As for the two thousand East India Company soldiers, Prince Gong thought that sooner or later they would have to be properly withdrawn. At this time, Monk Lingqin quietly approached Prince Gong and said, do you want to take advantage of the lack of foreign soldiers to sneak attack again to vent the hatred in my heart? Then the Mongolian prince was scolded by Prince Gong, who scolded him for wanting to destroy the situation of friendship and unity. (http:／／.）。 The Mongolian prince wrote to Emperor Xianfeng in vain, and he returned to his hometown unhappily and returned to Horqin to enjoy happiness.

Monk Lingqin was originally a hereditary county king, and after defeating the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Taiping Army, he was named the Prince of Bodol Gatai, and was hereditary and replaced. Historically, he would be ambushed and killed in a campaign to suppress bandits a few years later, and now he broke up with the court and was able to live a long life.

Let's not forget to mediate with the Russians, and the Russian minister in Beijing, Ignatiev, went to the palace to meet Prince Gong and said that it was time to talk about the major affairs between China and Russia.

The Russian side demanded that the Chinese side recognize the validity of the 1858 Treaty of Aihui, which was concluded but not ratified by the emperor. If confirmed, it would give China a complete loss of about 600,000 square kilometers of territory north of Heilongjiang. The 400,000 square kilometers of land east of the Ussuri River belonged to the Sino-Russian condominium in the treaty, and now the Russian minister not only wants to confirm the "Aihun Treaty", but also requires the Sino-Russian condominium to be assigned to the Russians, which includes an extremely important city of Vladivostok, which is dispensable to the Qing Dynasty, but for the Russians, this is the only ice-free port, especially after the defeat in the Crimean War, the Far East ice-free port is particularly important to Russia.

Another advantageous condition of the Russian side is that in fact, these 1 million square kilometers are all under their actual control, and letting you sign is to give you a clear face.
