Chapter 121: I can only be a concubine
(Thank you for the tip!) )
Pu Xu, the king of Dingjun, didn't know that the fate of his daughter, and even the fate of their family, had changed dramatically tonight. Of course, this change may not be what he wanted. However, he does not have the ability to refuse, and can only passively accept.
Puxu, the king of Dingjun, is the fifth son of Zaiming. In September of the fourth year of Xianfeng (54 years), Prince Zaiquan fell ill, and Emperor Xianfeng issued an edict to "take Miande's great-grandson Puxu as the queen", and passed on to Zaiquan's heirs and lived in Beifu (that is, Dingwangfu of Gangwa City). It was the moon that carried the Quan, and attacked the king of the county. He was a philanthropist, often giving money and rice to the poor, and buying birds for release. He has made no achievements in his life, has not entered the court for many years, and is sometimes fined for improper misconduct. Pu Xu's seniority was relatively low in the Manchu clan, and he was one generation lower than that of the Guangxu Emperor.
"Okay, it's up to the Pu Xu family's girl. Although the seniority is lower, it is my clan of the Qing Dynasty, and his status is noble, and it is completely okay to be worthy of him as a young marshal in western Sichuan. You should go out of the city immediately and talk about this matter with the western Sichuan side! Empress Dowager Cixi said.
"Ahh Galeries Lafayette, it's already so late, can't it be tomorrow? Prince Gong Yixin said with some surprise. I didn't expect Cixi to be so anxious, and now I remember to settle down.
"Go now, settle down as soon as possible, lest you have too many dreams at night!" Empress Dowager Cixi said.
"Yes, Lafayette, the minions will go now!" Prince Gong Yixin said.
"Hmmm! Go ahead. Mourners are waiting for your reply! Empress Dowager Cixi advised.
"Yes, Galeries Lafayette. The minions must go and return quickly! Prince Gong Yixin replied.
Outside the city of Jingshi, in the military camp in western Sichuan. Wang Yuze, Liang Xingrong and Song Zhengping were talking. Finally reached an agreement with the Manchu Qing, which made their tense mood finally relaxed. Although, it was not able to take Guangxi. It's a pity, but it's a great deal to be able to occupy the territory of four provinces and get a war indemnity of 120 million taels of silver.
"Young marshal, the fleet will return to China in two years, and it will always be difficult to do without a port! You can't let the fleet float on the sea all the time, can you? Liang Xingrong said. Guangxi, for the importance of western Sichuan is self-evident. There is no access to the sea. Kawanishi has never been able to achieve a real take-off.
"Yes! After taking Guangxi, we still have to build the port and shipyard in advance, which will take a long time. We must solve the problem of access to the sea in a year, at most a year and a half! Song Zhengping also said.
"Isn't there still more than a year left? No hurry! Wait for a year and a half. We have almost digested the newly occupied territory, and if we find a random reason, we can send troops into Guangxi. By that time, our strength had been improved again. There is not necessarily fear of the Great Powers. Besides, the great powers are not monolithic. Germany is our quasi-ally, and the United States is simply insignificant. Russia is in the north, and it will not affect them if we take Guangxi. And the UK, as long as we give them certain benefits. Presumably they won't stop it. France is left, without the support of other countries. He didn't dare to do anything to us! Although the market in western Sichuan has been cultivated for 20 years, it is still relatively small. Four new provinces were acquired. As a result, we have an additional population of tens of millions, and if it is cultivated, it is also a very large market. At the same time, the opening of all markets to us by the Manchu Qing Dynasty will also greatly promote the development of our economy. Even if the great powers threaten us with the blockade of our trade routes at that time, they will not pose such a great threat to us! Wang Yuze said.
This time, the reason why the great powers were able to intervene in the war between western Sichuan and the Manchus without fear was precisely because of this. The development of western Sichuan is based on a huge overseas market. The export of Western Sichuan, including some clothes, raw silk, pig bristles and some luxury goods, is strictly dependent on the European and American markets. If the great powers blocked the overseas trade routes of western Sichuan, the economy of western Sichuan would not last much at all. As a result, Kawanishi had to compromise and give up a low-hanging victory. In the final analysis, it is because of the lack of strength in western Sichuan. If Western Sichuan had the strength to make the great powers have some scruples, would the great powers still dare to persecute Western Sichuan like this? Right now. The strength of Kawanishi is still a little bit worse. However, western Sichuan is developing at a high speed, and it is believed that it will not be long before it will be able to catch up with or even surpass European powers. When the time comes, Kawanishi will no longer have their faces.
"Since the young marshal already has a plan, then we won't say more. After the end of this war, the young marshal should go back to Chengdu. The experience of the army is enough, and it is time to start getting acquainted with the handling of government affairs. Liang Xingrong said.
Wang Yuze's eyes couldn't help but light up, Liang Xingrong was willing to say this, which undoubtedly affirmed his identity and ability, which was very helpful for him to inherit the power of western Sichuan in the future.
"Yes! The marshal's health is getting worse and worse, and the young marshal is familiar with government affairs as soon as possible, and he can also reduce the pressure on the marshal! Song Zhengping also said. Wang Xiao, the founder of western Sichuan, has a very tall image in the minds of these people. They naturally hope that Wang Xiao can always command western Sichuan and move forward with higher and farther goals. However, people are born, old, sick and die, and Wang Xiao can't escape this law. Under such circumstances, they can only put their hopes on Wang Xiao's successor. Fortunately, although Wang Yuze's appearance was not outstanding when he was young, now, Wang Yuze's changes have impressed them. Once Wang Xiao has something, Wang Yuze is undoubtedly a qualified successor.
"Hmm!" Wang Yuze nodded. His cousin in this war has already conquered the big guys in the army. In the future, when he inherits the power of western Sichuan, the military will no longer have objections to him. What he has to do now is to deal with the nature of government affairs. He still remembered that Cai Yun once said that what Sichuan West needs is a big handsome, not a general!
"Young Marshal, Director Liang, Deputy Director Song! Prince Gong Yixin asks to see! Wang Wei walked into Wang Yuze's military tent and said.
"Prince Gong Yixin? What is he doing at such a late hour? Do you want to regret it? Wang Yuze said in surprise.
"It doesn't matter what he's here for, I'll talk about it when I see him. If they really want to repent, isn't that what we want? At that time, we can directly wave our army and overthrow the Manchu Qing. In that case, there would be no reason for the Great Powers! Liang Xingrong said with a smile.
"Haha! Oh, yes! In this case, then I really expect Yixin to regret it! Song Zhengping also smiled.
Soon, Wang Wei led Prince Gong Yixin into Wang Yuze's military tent.
"His Royal Highness Prince Gong, please do. Wang Wei, tea! Wang Yuze greeted warmly. Although during the negotiations, everyone has been on tension. But now that an agreement has been reached, there is no need for that. Moreover, Prince Gong Yixin was already the military aircraft foreman of the Manchu Dynasty, and the western Sichuan side still had to give a little face.
"Thank you, young marshal. This king is here today to congratulate the young marshal! Prince Gong Yixin said.
"Daoxi? What's going on? Wang Yuze was a little confused.
"The young marshal is young, both civil and military, and he is really a rare handsome. Lafayette is a young marshal, so the marshal will marry the young marshal under my Qing Dynasty! Prince Gong said with a smile.
"What? Marry me? Wang Yuze was shocked.
Liang Xingrong and Song Zhengping were also very surprised, but they didn't expect Prince Gong to come here for this.
"Young marshal, this is the grace of Lafayette!" Prince Gong Yixin continued.
"I'll go! What kind of grace or something, I don't care. Wang Yuze said secretly. For those princesses of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Lao Tzu has no interest in it!
"Prince Gong, I have become a relative. And, I have three more wives. Marrying Gege of the Qing Dynasty again, this is a little inappropriate! Wang Yuze immediately came up with a reason for refusal.
"It's simple. Divorce your three wives. My status in the Qing Dynasty is noble, so naturally I can't serve with other women! Prince Gong said directly, as if this was a matter of course.
It's just that he obviously thought wrong. For ordinary people, being able to marry a princess as a wife is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes. However, for Wang Yuze, he is not rare at all. How could his three ladies, all of whom were deeply loved by him, do such an ungrateful thing?
"Prince Gong, forgive me. My three ladies and I have always been in love, and we will never divorce them to marry Gege! Wang Yuze shook his head, and his tone was a little stiff.
Prince Gong's face was a little bad, he was a Qing Dynasty and had a noble status, could he still serve a husband with several women like other women? This made him put the face of the Qing Dynasty royal family somewhere.
"Young marshal, this is a gift from Lafayette Chrysostom. The marriage between the young marshal and me in the Qing Dynasty is beneficial to both of us. When the time comes, we will become a family, and if there is any conflict, it will be a family matter. It's much easier to deal with, too! Prince Gong Yixin said.
Wang Yuze also thought of this, if he married the Manchu Gege, then he and the Manchu would become his own person. Although, the Manchu Gege had little power. But might he also be able to use this to meddle in the internal affairs of the Manchus? It's just that if he wants to divorce his three wives and marry Gege of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he will never be able to do it. Even this marriage is good for Kawanishi. But Wang Yuze is not this kind of person who forgets his righteousness.
"I have no objection to marrying the Qing Dynasty. However, it is absolutely impossible for me to divorce my wife. I can marry Gege of the Qing Dynasty. However, she can only be my fourth lady! Wang Yuze said resolutely.
