86_866125 On January 16, the day after Russia declared war on Japan, the war broke out unsurprisingly. The Russian assault fleet led by the cruiser First Class of the Monomacher sank and captured a number of Japanese merchant ships off the coast of Japan, and the sound of artillery in the Pacific marked the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War.

After the two countries declared war, the Qing government, which was still wavering and did not know how to deal with it, immediately declared "neutrality" under the "mediation" of Britain, but this neutrality was tendentious, and the Qing government also agreed that the Russian ** ships could enter Lushun, Shanghai and other places to be maintained or temporarily stationed if necessary, but on the other hand, the Qing government, which was originally worried, also breathed a sigh of relief -- Russia made a diplomatic endorsement and never tried to get involved in China's sovereignty, and even made a huge concession. In the secret diplomatic agreement between the Qing Dynasty, Britain and Russia, Russia and Britain recognized China's suzerainty over the Ryukyus.

"Bullshit!"

In the conference room of the Unified Supervision Mansion, Tang Haoran, who had just returned to Seoul, spit out two words bluntly.

The reason why he spit out these two words is because a group of people under him attribute the "return of the Ryukyus to the sect" and feel that this diplomatic success is completely due to him, and as for the Minister of Beiyang, Lord Li, it is just implemented according to the adult's method.

The British dug a pit there, and as a result, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all saying something "the emperor is wise" and "the queen mother is kind", but they don't know that this Ryukyu return to the sect is simply a dose of intestinal poison! ”

Because of his relationship in Tianjin, Tang Haoran knew more or less the inside story of the Sino-British negotiations, and that the Ryukyus were not wanted by Li Hongzhang, but were "given" to the Qing Dynasty by the British, and the condition for returning them to the Manchus was when the time was ripe. Britain assisted the Manchus in stationing in the Ryukyus, and after the Manchus restored their power, they leased Weihaiwei and the nearby sea to the British, and the British had the right to build forts and garrison troops along the coast. The rights retained by China are: military troops will still be able to enter; Naha Castle was administered by China, and the officials of the castle were still allowed to do their own business within the castle; Chinese warships can still use the Weihai Sea.

“…… In other words. The Chinese want to take millet for the British! ”

Despite what he said, Tang Haoran also knew very well that perhaps for China, this was the best outcome, but how could the Manchus be able to compete with the dangers contained in it?

Although the Russians, compelled to need British support and the need for Chinese ports, reluctantly agreed to recognize Ryukyu as a vassal state of China. In the final analysis, however, the Russians had to face the fact that the existence of the three naval bases in Shanghai, the Ryukyus, and Hong Kong had completely blocked their hopes of going south, and what they were most dissatisfied with was that we dared to trap them with the British. Britain killed two birds with one stone, preventing the possibility of Russia's southward expansion and making it China's sole reliance......"

In the silence, Tang Haoran's brows became more and more furrowed, in this case, in the event of a future uprising, the British position would undoubtedly become extremely important, if Britain opposed its own overthrow of the Manchu Qing. and even sent a fleet to stop ...... Thinking of the possibilities of the future, he couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart.

The adult's more and more solemn expression looked in the eyes of everyone, and everyone said that the adult was worried about the country and the court. But in Li Guangguang's eyes, he immediately understood what the adults were worried about, so he said:

"My lord, now that the war between Japan and Russia has been ignited, and Japan is not destroyed, the Russians will never stop their troops. Even so, the worries of North Korea's northern neighbors and the worries of the east have naturally disappeared invisibly! ”

A seemingly simple sentence. Immediately, everyone understood the impact of this war diplomacy that seemed to have nothing to do with the Unified Supervision Mansion in the palace. It is even like a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle to remove the root of the "arbitrary behavior" of the unified supervision office in North Korea.

"My lord, now that Russia and Japan are at war, they have no influence on the power of North Korea, and the situation in North Korea has also stabilized, if there is an official who impeaches our unified prison office in North Korea at this time for "wanton action", there will be no external troubles and internal worries, but I am afraid that the capital will ......."

Tang Zhaoyi took Li Guangguang's words worriedly, he was even worried that if Tang Haoran was recruited back to Beijing, if he wanted to seek release again, he didn't know how much trouble he would have to waste, and when the time came, he would ...... I'm afraid that the only way to go to Taiwan is to help the comfort pavilion, although the vitality he witnessed in the Incheon Special Zone really attracted him, but people always need to consider their own interests.

Not really!

Since the establishment of the Unified Supervision Office, the Unified Supervision Office in North Korea has not been "wanton", from the abolition of the king, to the establishment of the "Heavenly Grace Temple", and even the kind of "spontaneous" cutting of braids in the Chinese school and on the construction site for convenience.

It turned out that Tang Haoran, who was just thinking about the Manchu Dynasty being used as a gunman, heard them say this, and suddenly couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, that thing had been done in the first place, which was beneficial to himself, but he didn't expect to let the Manchu Qing Dynasty benefit from it, and in addition to taking the matter of "returning to the sect of foreign vassals" as proof of "Emperor Shengming", he also pitted himself into it by the way.

The wings of this butterfly are really special...... Just when he was helpless in his heart, a voice reached Tang Haoran's ears.

"Actually, it's not that difficult!"

It was Song Yuxin who spoke, although he was Tang Haoran's first aide, but as the director of the company in the current Tongjian Mansion, he seemed to be marginalized in a certain way, he was not as good as Li Guangguang in terms of articles, and he was not as good as those who studied in the United States in the house, even in terms of education, he was not as good as Gu Tangsheng, and even together with the management of the company, he was not as good as those managers of the company, but he didn't care about this qiē at all, and only at the right time would he show his ability, just like to Wuchang, Shanghai in general, not only brought back silver, but also brought back children.

"Oh, what do you think, let's talk about it!"

When the adults set their eyes on their bodies, Song Yuxin did not have a trace of pride, but said more cautiously.

"My lord, I can't talk about this idea, I'm just picking up people's teeth, and adults disdain it in the past, so naturally I can't remember it!"

In a few words, Song Yuxin degraded himself, and elevated Tang Haoran by the way, which is what makes him smarter than others. If you don't take credit, you can always make your position clear. However, what he said is also true, Tang Haoran chose to "carry danger and self-respect", rather than the previous general "carrying foreign" to self-respect.

"Alright, Jackie. Don't sell it, the big guys are waiting! ”

That is, between old friends, this can be said, of course, this is more or less related to the atmosphere of free speech in the Fuzhong Deliberations, and Tang Haoran has always believed in the principle of "democratic centralism" in the Fuzhong Deliberations. When talking, you can speak freely, but it is Tang Haoran who makes the final decision.

"Actually, it's simple, in the past, we relied on the ambitions of Japan and Russia in Korea to carry power and self-respect. Now that the two countries are at war and are unable to take care of North Korea, that doesn't mean that the threat is gone, does it? ”

When he spoke, Song Yuxin kept observing the adult, and when he saw that the adult looked thoughtful, he paused his voice slightly.

"Jieqi, what do you mean. Under the pretext that Russia now needs to use the port as a pretext, the Russians are still ambitious about North Korea? ”

After asking rhetorically, Tang Haoran's brows furrowed again.

"But there's not already a British ...... over there"

"Your Excellency. Is this ambitious or not, who knows? At least there was a past, and how could the "Korea-Russia Secret Treaty" really exist back then, who knows? Tang Zhaoyi, who understood the meaning of Song Yuxin's words, pointed out the "secret treaty" that directly led the imperial court to lose patience with North Korea, and no one knows whether this matter is true or false. It's still a mystery to this day.

"My lord, the Russians have no ambitions. We don't care about him, we shouldn't exclude the Russians now. Instead, it should be allowed to enter the port, anyway, the imperial court also agreed, and besides, isn't our canning factory also put into production? Tens of thousands of troops can't be eaten, but if there are hundreds of thousands of Russian troops, whether the canneries are enough or not, it's still ......"

Song Yuxin's words came into Tang Haoran's ears, only his eyes lit up, but isn't it, if you say that the best wealth is made, I'm afraid it is war money, in history, the rise of the Rong family is not because of the Russo-Japanese War to the northeast and Vladivostok and other ground flour supply is insufficient, the flour it produces from unsalable to best-selling, and then to the industrial boom during the First World War, but not because the war drove demand. How could the industry and agriculture in the Russian Far East, which were even inferior to those of Korea, support the needs of the Russo-Japanese War?

Thinking of this, Tang Haoran even forgot whether someone would impeach him when the "external troubles were eliminated", and instead concentrated on the opportunities brought about by this war, just like the Korean War was to Japan, and it might become the driving force behind the economic rise of the SAR. How long will this war last?

"Not only the cannery, but also the clothing factory of the police department, which can also make zuò quilts and sell them to the Russians, after all, they can't transport quilts from thousands of miles away, well, even our arsenal can produce some simple weapons and ammunition to sell to the Russians, it's more convenient to buy from us than from Europe......

I don't know, but at least one thing is certain, the Russians need to be replenished with all kinds of supplies nearby, from food to clothing, and even shipyards can provide ship construction services, and the only thing to consider is probably the productivity, whether the productivity of the Special Zone can meet the needs of the Russians.

"My lord, if the canned rice and noodles eaten by hundreds of thousands of Russian troops, the military uniforms they wear, and the military boots they wear on their feet are all produced by us, when the time comes, if someone impeaches the adults, how can the Russians sit back and watch the supply of materials go wrong because the adults are transferred back?"

Song Yuxin smiled, isn't this still "carrying foreign goods for self-respect"? However, for this carrying method, Tang Haoran not only did not object, but also supported it with both hands.

"This matter is so decided, immediately send a telegram to the company in the UK, ordering the company to raise a sum of money to buy equipment from Europe and the United States, we will not only bring this foreign this time, but also make a foreign fortune by the way!"

(In the wordless view, in this dog-eat-dog war, it doesn't really matter which side you choose, because the protagonist's current strength is there, uniting Japan to control Russia?) United Russia Day? It's just a delusion of self-indulgence, so the most compromise is to seek one's own interests in the war, such as commercial interests, which is the best choice for the protagonist, and use the power of the enemy to strengthen himself! Ask for a monthly pass at the beginning of the month! (To be continued).
