"What do you say? The dog thieves are already attacking? Although the Empress Dowager Cixi said that her body has gradually developed problems in recent years, but there are still a few years before she dies, and now he is still sitting in the court, next to him is sitting like a puppet Emperor Guangxu, his hands are very unnaturally on his legs, he opens his mouth slightly, and wants to speak but looks at Lafayette sitting next to him, and finally can only swallow the words back into his stomach mold.

"Yes Lafayette, the rebels have landed in Zhanjiang, Beihai and Fangchenggang yesterday morning, and we don't know where they are and where they have been." Lu Chuanlin, Minister of Military Aircraft, stood at the front of the team, arched his hands together, and bent down to bury his head. Rong Lu's guy is an old fox, he has always reported good news and not bad news, this time there were rebels, this is something that has to be reported, and before that he was the governor of Liangguang, this time two of the three places of the accident were in Liangguang, and Rong Lu and Wang Wenshao and Qu Hongji were forced to report, and finally had to reap the consequences, and secretly hated Wang Lin and others in their hearts, but this is also a helpless thing, Hainan is the closest to Liangguang, originally thought that there were British people stuck in the middle, they would help, But what hasn't been heard from the British yet?

"Hmph, a group of useless things, people landed yesterday, we only found out the news today, do you want to let those dog thieves fight in Yanjing City to know where they are?" Cixi said with some anger.

"Lafayette, Weichen has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." Rong Lu is optimistic about the opportunity, and after seeing Cixi scolding, he should be out of line, and it is naturally up to him to offer his plan at this time.

"Well, the mourning family itself can't control such a big matter, you said come to the mourning family to hear it, and by the way, give it to other ministers for reference." Cixi nodded, it is still useful for us to be Manchurian, and it depends on our Manchu at a critical time, and the Han people are only worthy of being Manchu as slaves.

"Lafayette, a year and a half ago we have lost a lot, the Beiyang Army is our elite army, but it was exhausted in that battle, and now it is the whole army, even Yuan Shikai himself ended up in battle, the navy is even more miserable, according to the fishermen who came back and secretly went out to the sea to fish, they saw our fleet enter an island and reef area, which is full of reefs, and even their group of old fishermen who have lived here all their lives dare not go, As a result, the fleet that originally wanted to go to the border area of Hainan to harass was completely wiped out.

Although we have urgently trained some army forces this year, they have not yet been able to take shape, the Beiyang army trained by the Germans has already seen the results in the Hainan battlefield, and his own navy cannot even sink a single warship, so the army must be like that, and the British instructors are okay, saying that we will almost be able to become an army in about a year. But at the moment, we don't have an army to fight, and everyone knows what the combat effectiveness of those green forest soldiers is, and if they want to block the attack of the dog thieves, it is tantamount to letting the enemy drive straight in.

Therefore, Wei Chen had an idea, thinking that we could not use us to dispatch the main soldiers, but also block the march of Wang Lin's dog thieves, if they did it well, maybe they would even lose Hainan. The furnace paused a little at this point, and the whole amount of nonsense that he had said before was undoubtedly to arouse Cixi's interest, and only when she was interested would the method she said be adopted, so wouldn't the credit be his own?

"Ronglu, don't beat around the bush, do you have any way to tell the mourning family quickly." Cixi really couldn't withstand the temptation, first said that she was inferior, and then said that there was a way to completely eliminate this rebel army, and she didn't have to send the main soldiers herself, the most important thing was that there were not many troops on her side that could be the main force, there was such a good thing, it was strange that Cixi was not moved.

"Galeries Lafayette, we can ask the British for help, as long as we give them a little benefit, I think they will jump out for us to block the march of Wang Lin's dog thieves. The British have a strong fleet that can encircle and blockade Hainan, so that the rebels who have entered our territory will not be supplied, and they may be able to grab food, but what about ammunition? As long as we keep the ammunition under strict control, it won't be long before they run out of ammunition, and then we can catch turtles in an urn? Rong Lu excitedly talked about his great plan, not knowing that he had been scolded hundreds of times in his heart by all the Han officials in the court at this moment.

"Well, let the British fight Wang Lin, and we will reap the benefits of the fisherman, this method is good, what do you think?" Cixi first muttered to herself, and then asked the ministers below.

"The ministers also think this method is good." A kind of minister was so frightened that he knelt down and kowtowed again and again, saying that this method is good, your old man said it is good, who of us would dare to refute? Unless it's idle, your life is too long.

"Your Majesty, what do you think?" Cixi looked at Guangxu in a general form.

"Dear Dad, it's good for you to call the shots in this matter." Guangxu scolded Cixi with hatred in his heart, but he had to say those disgusting words on his lips.

As for the title of father, Guangxu is really disgusting, this kind of title is originally puzzling, many people who do not understand the customs of the Manchus mistakenly think that this is a habit of the Manchus, so after a long time, no one cares about this title or anything. In fact, this is not the case, and this kind of unique name seems to have a certain truth.

Because Cixi is Xianfeng's imperial concubine, Guangxu's father is Xianfeng's younger brother, and his mother is Cixi's younger sister, so Guangxu is both Cixi's nephew and nephew. Cixi also explained to herself: Emperor Guangxu's mother is my sister, and my sister's son is the same as my own. Moreover, Cixi's son Tongzhi and Guangxu are cousins, and it is also in line with the royal etiquette to be succeeded by his cousin after Tongzhi's death. In addition, Cixi implemented the curtain of the Tongzhi and Guangxu dynasties, and was actually in the supreme position of the emperor. Therefore, Cixi likes Guangxu to call her father by the name of a man, and adds a pro-word in front of it to show her dignity, majesty and affection, so this unusual name appeared.

"Well, since everyone has no opinion, then Rong Lu, this matter is up to you, as for the conditions mentioned by the British, as long as they are not slanderous, you can agree to it." The Empress Dowager Cixi smiled, and finally waited for this solution to the problem, and she was naturally very happy.

"Galeries Lafayette, what if the English ask us for money and land?" Rong Lu asked a little uneasy, he knew what the British liked, so he had to ask the bottom line on his side before going to negotiate, otherwise if Lafayette was not satisfied with the result of the negotiation, then the unlucky one would make himself.

"It's nothing to give them some money, I have asked people to come all the way from England to help us fight dogs, and it is understandable to give them some errand fees, and as for the land, at most give them a place the size of Hong Kong or one or two more to rent. As long as you can eliminate Wang Lin's dog thief. "I'd rather give foreigners than domestic slaves, Cixi often said the wise words in her life, and she did it all her life, if you want to keep the country of the Aixin Jueluo family, you still have to rely on foreigners.

Rong Lu got the order, there was a bottom line in his heart, Cixi got a way to solve the problem of the rebels, don't mention the joy in the hearts of the two, leaving a poor Guangxu Emperor sitting there with bitterness and tears. In the end, Cixi asked again to see if there was anything else, and then asked Emperor Guangxu to announce his retirement from the court.

After Rong Lu retreated from the DPRK, he hurriedly ran to the British Embassy in China and found the ambassador to China, Ogna, and the two met and first said a polite word, and then Ogna first asked Rong Lu what was the matter here, and Rong Lu told Ogener about inviting Britain to send troops to quell the rebellion.

How could Ogner not know the current predicament of his country? Originally, the British army, which had begun to gradually go smoothly on the Boer battlefield and had seen the hope of victory, did not know where the Boers had found a group of instructors to help them train the army, and at present, the British army's losses in the Boer battlefield have become larger and larger, judging from the German Mauser rifles used by the other side on the battlefield, the British side has gradually begun to suspect that the other party's instructors were sent by the Germans.

Because it was in the interests of the Germans, they would have enough time to develop only if the British Empire's army was trapped deep in the Boer field, and although the British Empire's navy was still very strong, the navy could not go ashore. Recently, however, as the casualties in the Boer field have been increasing, Britain has begun to continue to recruit 100,000 troops, and intends to put these 100,000 troops into the Boer battlefield again. If he still can't win this time, then British Prime Minister Salisbury should accept being impeached by Congress and then scolded by the people.

O'Gner quickly sent the news to the United Kingdom, and in the Prime Minister's office, Salisbury stood under the flag of the British Empire with a cigar in his hand, walking back and forth, his head spinning rapidly, thinking about the pros and cons of this.

The Boer War has been fought for too long, and now the people and the National Assembly and His Majesty the King have begun to have some opinions on this matter, if they still can't win after increasing the number of troops, then there is only one fate in the face of Salisbury, and they will leave office immediately, and there are only two short months left before their term of office, and if they can make achievements in the Far East in these two months, they can at least make up for some losses on the Boer battlefield, so that they can also leave a good reputation.

Salisbury carefully thought about the pros and cons, knowing that the navy of the British Empire was the first navy in the world, unrivaled, and did not take Wang Lin in his eyes, and finally Salisbury found King Edward VII of England, and finally under his own tempting promise, King Edward VII of England agreed to send a navy and an army of 2,000 people to the Qing Kingdom to help them quell the rebellion. However, the conditions had to be given to Britain a huge amount of military spending and to Dongguan and Zhuhai, which would be connected by land and sea to Hong Kong, to win over 99 years of lend-lease.

Naturally, Ogener, who had been allowed, began to open his mouth widely, and as soon as the negotiations began, he offered 100 million taels of silver for military expenses and the area between Guangzhou and Zhuhai in the west and Guangzhou and Hong Kong in the east, for 99 years. As soon as Rong Lu heard this, he felt that the British were cheating on themselves, and finally after several days of heated discussions, the two finally agreed that Zhuhai could be given to Britain, and the section from Dongguan to Hong Kong could also be given to Britain, and as for military spending, it could only be given at most 50 million taels of silver, and no more.

Eventually, the British representative Ogener and the Chinese representative Rong Lu signed a treaty, which later became known as the unfulfilled Sino-British Treaty of Canton.
