Chapter 167: Big Brother

Whether it is in this life or the next life, Guan Xuqing is the first time to be a father, and when the excitement has not eased, he received the good news that he has signed a peace treaty, how can he not be happy

"Congratulations to the emperor, the birth of the queen indicates the prosperity of my Qing Dynasty, and as soon as the eldest brother was born, he made the Japanese Japanese vassals bow down to him, which is the blessing of my Qing Dynasty," Peng Yulin said excitedly

"Haha, it's a good thing to convey my will, all the troops who went to Korea and Japan will be paid three times their rank, and all the admirals will also be paid according to three times the military salary, and the officers and soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country will be given a bereavement pension and must pass their five-year military salary." Of course, Guan Xuqing wanted to divide a part of the money he snatched from the Japanese to these soldiers who threw their heads and shed blood on the front line for the country

"Oh, the minister is the front-line soldier Xie Huangshang Longen" Peng Yulin fell to the ground

Guan Xuqing turned to Wang Shang and said: "Inform the Internal Affairs Office, all the palace maids and eunuchs here will be rewarded for one year, and all the expenses of the eldest brother will be withdrawn from the Internal Affairs Office."

"Chirp," Wang Shang nodded

At this time, the eldest brother had already let the nurse who had already prepared to take it away, Guan Xuqing gently walked into the queen's bedroom, looking at the pale queen, Guan Xuqing couldn't help wiping the sweat on the queen's forehead

"Your Majesty......" The queen wanted to sit up nervously after seeing Guan Xuqing

Guan Xuqing held her and said in an irresistible tone: "Don't move, lie down well, the queen, I've worked hard for you."

"It's not hard, it's a blessing for a concubine to give birth to a prince for the emperor, I just hope that the little prince can share the worries for the emperor when he grows up in the future," Jing Fen's few words moved Guan Xuqing greatly

"Haha, I hope you can give birth to a few more princes for me, and in the future, I will choose one of them as the crown prince, so that our Qing Empire will always be strong," Guan Xuqing said excitedly

"The concubine obeys the order" Jingfen blinked mischievously, lay happily on the bed and continued: "Your Majesty, can the concubine meet the little prince?" ”

"Uh...... This seems to be ...... The prince has already let the nurse take you away, and when you are better, I will allow you to raise it yourself," Guan Xuqing promised

"Emperor Xie" Jingfen was so moved that she was about to cry

The princes of the Qing Dynasty were not allowed to be raised by their biological mothers, and they were born with eunuchs and palace maids to serve in the study after the age of 6, and in their eyes there was only one father, but there were many mothers

So when Jingfen heard Guan Xuqing promise to let her raise the prince by herself, she was more excited than grateful......

After Guan Xuqing chatted with the queen for a while, he got up and said, "It's not early, you rest early, I'll leave first, and I'll come back to talk to you another day."

"Yes," Jingfen replied weakly

Although from the current point of view, the whole situation seems to be very favorable to the Qing Dynasty, but Guan Xuqing does not dare to relax at all, after all, he is changing history, and no one will know what will happen after that

The birth of the eldest brother is the best proof, Emperor Guangxu has no children, this is known to everyone, but now he clearly gave birth to a big fat boy and came out History is changing because of Guan Xuqing, which makes him dare not slack off every day, like sitting on pins and needles

"Go, let Liang Qi and Kang Youwei come over," Guan Xuqing said to Wang Shang beside him

"Your Majesty, it's already the time to go to court tomorrow, and the emperor should rest first," Wang Shang said thoughtfully

Guan Xuqing just wanted to have a seizure, and a eunuch was still in charge of his head, but when he turned around, he saw this Wang Shang, who had gray temples and had taken care of himself for seventeen years since he entered the palace at the age of four, and was almost inseparable, suddenly lost his temper again

"Well, forget it, you should go to rest early," After speaking, Guan Xuqing walked towards the Heart Cultivation Palace

In the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, Guan Xuqing held the red candle in his hand and looked at the map on the wall carefully, and now the stubborn disease of Japan has finally been eliminated, but the Qing Navy has also suffered serious losses

In addition, it is not difficult to see from this war that the army of the Qing Dynasty is still too small, and it may be difficult for 1 million standing troops to defend this country with an increasingly large territory, but now the domestic arms manufacturing degree cannot meet the needs of more than 1 million troops, and the development of the industry is also imminent

Now he has received a full 1.5 billion silver dollars in compensation from Japan, although it will be paid off in five years, and only 300 million will be recorded every year, but the profits obtained from the tariffs in their own hands may be more than 300 million, and they can also take the opportunity to curry favor with Britain, at least so that Britain will not attack itself in a short time, so that there will be more time to recuperate, and in the future, Britain will be able to completely dare to leave the Far East

Seeing the crushing defeat of Japan, Russia, which was eyeing the north, also wanted to get a piece of the pie and landed in Yanai, Hokkaido, from Sakhalin Island, to attack Japan

Thinking that Japan was devastated by the Qing Dynasty, it would definitely not be able to stop the tough attack of Tsarist Russia, but it still touched the ashes because the Japanese emperor transferred to Hokkaido, and most of the land in the south of Japan was occupied by the Qing Dynasty, so the elite main forces were concentrated in Hokkaido, and the two divisions of the Russian landing force were beaten and lost their armor and fled back

It is not difficult to see from this that the ambitions of Tsarist Russia are still quite large, don't look at the current peace with the Qing Dynasty, the land that was forcibly occupied by the Qing Dynasty before seems to have acquiesced, but once there is a chance, this fart wolf still pounces on you frantically and bites you hard

It is absolutely impossible to really achieve a watertight defense on the border in the north, and it is necessary to arrange at least 20 divisions to defend a few key strategic points, but now there are only 40 divisions in the country, and it is obviously not possible to use up half of the national defense force in the north

The southeast, Burma, Vietnam, North Korea, Xian, and northwest provinces are all important strategic locations, and they all need to be heavily guarded, not to mention that several important cities in the country also need to be heavily guarded, and Nagasaki, which is leased from Japan, also has to put at least one division of troops, which makes Guan Xu sorrowful

It seems that it is imminent to continue to increase the number of troops, but weapons and equipment will definitely not be purchased from abroad, since the Qing Dynasty has the ability to manufacture guns comparable to foreign countries, then there is no reason to go abroad to buy them

It seems that Japan's first indemnity was used to increase the number of guns and artillery bureaus, and to manufacture weapons and equipment in large quantities to control the number of conventional army troops at about 2 million

"Your Majesty, it's late at night, it's time for you to rest," Wang Shang said impatiently beside him

Guan Xuqing turned his head, only to find that the red candle in his hand was almost burned, and said to Wang Shang: "Didn't you go to sleep, why are you still here?" ”

"The slave is not worried about the emperor, the emperor is working hard for the country, and he must also take care of the dragon body," Wang Shang pleaded

Guan Xuqing handed the red candle to Wang Shang, stretched his waist and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go to sleep now."

After forcing Japan to sign the Tokyo Treaty, the whole world had a complete understanding of the Qing Dynasty, whether it was the old Britain and France, or Germany and the United States, they all tried their best to win over this lion of the East
