Listening to Cixi's somewhat sad voice, Lin Haijiang hesitated, took a deep breath and said: "If you meet one day, your Qing Dynasty will definitely not be guaranteed, but I will protect your personal safety!" ”

Lin Haijiang turned the globe a few times and then pressed it with his hand: "This is Oceania, several times larger than Guanwai, with fertile plains and rich mines, and now only a few European countries colonize there, and the local natives are not vulnerable at all!" That is the Promised Land I have given you! ”

Cixi looked at Lin Haijiang in surprise, waiting for his next words, Lin Haijiang patted the globe and said: "I will send a fleet to help you re-establish a territory, and if I am willing to follow you to re-establish the country, I can transport it by ship to provide assistance in military, technology, construction, etc., where you can even be your Wu Zetian, no one dares to interfere with you, you can build an imperial palace ten times larger than the Forbidden City, where there are endless minerals and inexhaustible slaves." ”

Cixi took a deep breath and said softly, "Thank you for having a heart!" But you must know that the Qing Dynasty spent more than ten years fighting for the world, but it took a full 120 years to sit firmly in the world. Without the support of the scholars, no one in this world will be stable. ”

Lin Haijiang smiled slightly and said, "I'm afraid the ancestors of those people were all people with lofty ideals who scolded the Tartars before the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, right?" The great tomorrow guarded the door, Chongzhen died, died well, where are those who are full of poetry and books, full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and keep talking? How did they suddenly become heroes who knew the times? Who are they to talk to me? I am afraid that their shamelessness will be so angry that they will jump up from the ground and scream at them. ”

Lin Haijiang touched the pistol on his waist and said: "I have bullets and cannonballs to deal with them, if a class can't be used by me and tries to get out of my control, then I'm sorry, this class is destined to disappear completely, and after they are eliminated, I will create a class that serves me again." ”

Cixi disagrees with Lin Haijiang's point of view, how can the people of the world be killed? Who can block the mouth of the world from ancient times to the present? An Dehai and Aiyena almost all kept silent about the fact that the queen had changed her clothes, and no one dared to guess anything.

This night is an extraordinary night for Lin Haijiang, he casually promised Cixi that the purpose of establishing a country overseas is also very simple, the future establishment of the Qing Empire overseas must be under the protection of the Chinese Empire, the Qing Empire is the puppet of the Chinese Empire, but also an irreplaceable shell of the overseas expansion of the Chinese Empire, you must know that the international political norms will gradually improve every time after a large-scale war, This international political norm provides a concrete basis for the powerful country to reasonably and legitimately bully the weak country to occupy its resources.

To put it simply, if the Qing Empire launched a war overseas and occupied other lands and resources, then the Chinese Empire, as its protectorate, would be in an absolutely advantageous position.

Sleeping with a woman who is famous in history, and even has a chance to avoid a civil war that will devastate the lives of a human being? Quan Dang did a good deed and saved a woman who was burning with lust, and in Lin Haijiang's opinion, Lan'er is still quite good, you must know that the draft girl of the Qing Empire has a very strict set of standards, and the probability of an ugly girl appearing is less than or equal to zero.

Being young is an advantage, and a beautiful woman will not look good after the age of sixty, let alone Cixi, who is only twenty-three years old.

Lin Haijiang wants to build a huge empire, but the national problem has always been a problem for every country? Radical eradication and extermination? Not only will he be isolated internationally, but it will also be a huge test for the overall image and governance of the country, and the later Hitler will not be able to stop the Jewish Zionist movement after World War II, and finally the Jews will establish Israel in the Promised Land.

In Lin Haijiang's memory, there seems to be no nation that was completely wiped out by the large-scale massacre of foreign invasions? Even the Mayans, who were considered extinct, still had collateral and descendant races.

Therefore, the simple massacre will not play a role, and should be carried out in a more active way, the culture of the Han nation does have a long history, but it is still inevitable to take its essence from its dross, and the advantage of a nation is a specific time surname.

Just as Huang Lao's doctrine has always occupied the central and dominant ideology of the Han ruling group before Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, but in order to cooperate with his own rule and foreign policy adjustment, Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, chose Confucianism that is more suitable for him, which does not mean that Confucianism is much more clever than Huang Lao, it can only be said that Confucianism is more suitable at this moment, if Confucianism is not used by the ruling class as a tool for fooling the people, but can continue to update its meaning with the times, then China will not be closed to the country many times in history, So much so that it was knocked open by strong ships and cannons, and it was reduced to a semi-feudal and semi-colonial country.

A thought does not lie in the thought itself, but in the will of the controller, what kind of thinking and what kind of meaning the controller wants to convey to the people.

Lin Haijiang believes that observing the surname of a nation should not be viewed from the comprehensive strength of the country where the nation is located, there is no need to look at the development data of any country, there is no need to look at how much foreign debt the country has, and there is no need to see how much money the country has spent in the world.

The best time to observe the mental state of the people is to see the country's performance in the face of surrounding instability, response to provocation of Russia's territorial needs, disputes, the economic index is high, but without the corresponding military support, can not speak hard, this Lin Haijiang can be said to be deeply aware of this, the reason why he dares to dominate is because he has an imperial ironclad fleet that sweeps through Southeast Asia and the whole of Asia.

Military strength is the bone of politics, and a tough diplomatic attitude depends on the final will of the people of this country, although Lin Haijiang's way is somewhat suspicious of reckless militarism, but Lin Haijiang knows very well that the blood surname of the Chinese nation has been emasculated for too long.

The Chinese nation needs to be reinvigorated, but if one is not careful in this process of exhilaration, the whole country will fall into a place of no return, on the contrary, Lin Haijiang is very skeptical that the cunning man in history will not die in China's ambitions and is ready to move the snake and swallow the elephant's strategy, how could he choose to embark on this dead end?

However, Lin Haijiang remembered that especially after the visit of the Qing Dynasty's Beiyang Fleet, the famous admiral of the navy, Togo Heihachiro, understood a truth, that is, no matter how big the ship, how thick the cannon, and how many soldiers, but for the Qing Dynasty, all this was in vain. At that time, the Chinese did not have much sense of identity with this foreign regime, nor could they talk about fighting for the rise of the nation, and being a soldier was nothing more than a business for many Qing officers and soldiers. Without the national spirit of unity of mind, no matter how huge the fleet is, it can only collapse at the touch of a blow in the face of the unity of the whole nation.

For many years, the Chinese have taken it for granted that the logic of "first there is a big country, then there are citizens of a big country", but they rarely think about this inexplicable logic backwards, and if they do not regard themselves as citizens of a big country, how can there be a rise of a big country? If a nation loses its most basic self-confidence, then how can it invigorate its national spirit?

In the remaining days, Cixi was in the war room except for a trip to the bridge, that is, Lin Haijiang was not summoned, and Lin Haijiang did not go to ask for peace, and the conversation between the two before only existed between the two, Lin Haijiang needed time to develop and build, if the Qing court carried out a comprehensive blockade and embargo on the two Guangzhou, it would be a big interference for the development and construction of Hainan, Taiwan, Indonesia and even the old port.

Lin Haijiang has read some research materials and expert arguments about Cixi, Cixi's background and background say that she does not have much affection or loyalty to the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty is just a tool and guarantee for her to ensure that she can enjoy herself in peace, so there is an extreme practice of preferring to the outside to the inside.

Lin Haijiang believes that people's surnames, ideas, and ideals are not formed in a day, but these will change with the change of identity and time, but these changes need to have a foundation, from the foundation of Cixi's words, there is no doubt that Cixi is an extremely pragmatic utilitarian realist, old lady, I have enjoyed enough, and you will take care of the things after you die!

From this point, Lin Haijiang judged that his founding of a country in a different place yesterday was likely to have touched her heart to a certain extent, although this idea was very absurd, but Lin Haijiang firmly believed that if it was under strong military pressure, and under the absolute rule of Cixi, it was still possible to achieve it, and if it could be achieved, how many unnecessary internal conquests would be avoided?

With the support of various policies for the benefit of the people, the lives of the people at the bottom will gradually be improved, and the biggest advantage of the Chinese people is that they will not take risks even if they have a bite to eat.

Lin Haijiang knew that all this was just his own ideal, and the reason why the ideal was called an ideal was because it had not yet been realized, and the ideal that lacked the support of real forces was utopian, and the source of Lin Haijiang's confidence was his fleet, which was born ahead of schedule and set off a worldwide shipbuilding boom and arms race.

Facing the largest island of the Ryukyu Islands, that is, Okinawa in later generations, Lin Haijiang knew that he was going to put on a good show today, to shock the Russians, to give Cixi more confidence, to make her feel that she would be irresistible, and to completely crush the last trace of luck in her heart.

Lin Haijiang remembers that at the end of the Pacific War, the U.S. military in Okinawa Island to carry out a landing campaign against the Japanese army, Okinawa Island is the largest island in the Ryukyu Islands, its strategic significance was exerted to the extreme, the Americans lost more than 70,000 people including non-combat attrition here, the fifth amphibious army was completely disabled, and today there are only more than 1,000 samurai of the Satsuma Domain stationed here, because the Tokugawa shogunate got a large number of Western ships, so the connection between the Ryukyus and the Satsuma Domain has long been severed.

In order to escape the fire of Western warships, Satsuma's less than 1,000 samurai and light feet took refuge in the mountains, and Lin Haijiang chose the location of a village called Oguchi River in the northern part of the island as a landing point, and prepared to sweep across the narrow Okinawa Island with thunderous force.

On the morning of April 28, 1859, the eleven battleships lined up, turned their main guns and began to carry out the most intense shelling of a small hill in front of the beach, which had only one guard tower, and the guns, including the 100-millimeter secondary guns, tilted nearly 50 percent of the ammunition normally carried in just 30 minutes.

Cixi, Li Hongzhang, Tang Jiayao, Duke Gomochlov, Duraviev and others were invited to watch the beach-rushing landing practiced by Lin Haijiang with the standard procedures of the landing of the later marines from the bridge of the Zhenyuan ship.

Although there was no enemy resistance, the monstrous artillery fire shocked Cixi incomparably, she had never seen the war go on like this? Not to mention thousands of troops, even millions of troops are under such artillery fire, and what awaits them is only a tragic end of annihilation.

Also shocked with Cixi was Li Hongzhang, Li Hongzhang understood very well that this was Nanyang acting for his own people, to show the courage of the Qing Dynasty, Li Hongzhang saw that it was not good from the expression of the queen mother, but there were Tang Jiayao and An Dehai who were separated from him, and he couldn't rely on a small official like him to speak, besides, Lin Haijiang was standing aside, if he openly slandered him, he wouldn't let him throw him into the sea?

Duke Gomocherov was more concerned about Vice Admiral Duravyev in shock, and Vice Admiral Duraveyev, who stared at the two panda-eyed lieutenants, silently calculated the launch intervals and number of launches of each ship, etc., and these data will become a realistic portrayal of the real combat effectiveness of this fleet.

The more Duravyev looked at it, the more frightened he became, because the firing speed of the opponent's artillery had exceeded that of the Imperial Navy, especially those powerful 100 mm caliber secondary guns, both in power and rate of fire could be called the killer of sail battleships, Duravyev could completely conclude that the sail battleship had been forced into a dead end of elimination by the development of artillery, and Duraviev could conclude that the Old Port Fleet had a higher comprehensive quality than the Imperial Navy after the analysis of the shelling process of the fleet grouping, although he was very unwilling to face this result, Until the Empire did not have more than twice as many ships of equal tonnage, the Empire had no power at sea that would be able to stifle the Old Port fleet.

Although Duravyev knows that the scale of the other side is not large, but the construction of ironclad ships in the empire is still in its infancy, which will take a long time, Duravyev believes that if the empire attaches importance to the Far East, it must restrict the development of the old port and strategically contain it, but Duravyev can't think of any effective way to control the development of the old port with the national strength.

Soon, clippers carrying weapons began to travel between the battleship and the beachhead, and the Marines began to descend from the side of the ship to the sampan along the net ropes.

Duke Gomocherov immediately made a request to go ashore, but Lin Haijiang refused on the grounds of safety concerns, and that night Lin Haijiang decided to return to the old port by himself on the Zhenyuan ship, and the Yuan ship escorted Cixi and his party back to Dagukou, and the rest of the ships and the material support fleet that arrived later were responsible for supporting the landing force.

Cixi didn't say anything about Lin Haijiang's arrangement, and behaved very naturally and decently, as if she was the queen mother before, and Lin Haijiang was the commander of the Nanyang Navy of the Qing Dynasty, all the actions and Lin Haijiang's words and deeds that night were regarded by her as a secret, a secret and promise that belonged to her, her trust and ability in Lin Haijiang has reached the point of no return, but Ai Ye Na seemed to have a stomach to say, staring at Lin Haijiang tightly, Cixi naturally did not give Ai Ye Na a chance, to some extent, Women's pettiness is what they all have in common.

After the Zhenyuan ship set sail, Jia Wuji, who was standing behind Lin Haijiang, smiled and said, "Führer, I think that Qing court's Gege seems to be very interesting to you?" ”

Lin Haijiang didn't reply: "Lieutenant Colonel Jia Wuji, are you very free?" Do you still have the time and mood to care about the Führer me? Did you learn this in Prussia? Rubbing words? ”

Jia Wuji realized that the smiling head of state seemed to be very anxious at the moment?

On May 5, 1859, Lin Haijiang, who returned to the old port at noon, immediately met with the Prussian representative von Fernandes. Earl of D'Weys, von. The Earl of Dewes handed over a cowhide bag covered with lead wax to Lin Haijiang, who put the bag away and worked with Feng Haijiang. The Earl of D'Affaires had a sincere conversation, and it can be said that von. The Earl of Dwys, as Prussia, played a huge role in the development of cooperation between Prussia and the former power of the old port and now the Chinese Empire.

Feng. The Earl of D'Affaires traveled several times between Prussia and the Old Port, and he also formed a deep personal friendship with Lin Haijiang. The family business of the Earl of De Weis is thriving under the care of Lin Haijiang's deliberate order. The Earl of D'Avis was also jealous of some people, and some even went so far as to try to put an end to the appointment of his plenipotentiary and replace him.

In particular, this time the relationship is very important, so Prime Minister Bismarck still used Feng Bismarck, who was very familiar with Lin Haijiang, when selecting candidates. The Earl of Dweis.

In the case of von. After Count Dewis lit a cigar, Lin Haijiang frowned slightly and said, "Does Prime Minister Bismarck have a clear purpose this time?" ”

Feng. Count Dewis shook his head helplessly and said: "Dear Lin, my friend, my identity this time is just a messenger, you know, just a messenger, the content of the secret letter is related to the future of Prussia, before that, I even slept with two red grenades and secret documents on my chest, so I couldn't even take a shower during the whole trip, you know, what kind of torture is that for me?" ”
