Chapter 786: Raising Kou for Self-Respect
As long as Vladivostok is taken, it is a matter of time before Sakhalin Island is leveled, Wang Feng is not in a hurry, and lets Boss Chen slowly negotiate with the Russians with a small number of troops.
As for the unfamiliarity with the terrain, this is not too much of a problem, when the Hezhelans were almost wiped out by the Russians, and a small number of remnants were forced to retreat to the mainland, as long as they found the Hezhelans as guides, promised to help take revenge, and allowed to return to the island to live, the Hezhelans should be happy to help.
Moreover, with the total destruction of Murajoviv's army, the Russian military presence in the Far East was also seriously weakened, and the control of Sakhalin was much less than before, and in recent years, the Japanese began to operate in the southern part of Sakhalin again.
In contrast, Wang Feng really cares about the Russian army in the northwest, but a month, two months, and three months have passed, and seeing that it has entered the middle of summer, the Russian army still has no movement, and Russia's goal is only to stop in Central Asia.
On 15 July, when the rainy season had just occurred in the Jiangnan region, and it was when the heat was unbearable, Wang Feng listened to Miao Peilin's report: "Minister Li has finished his visit to Turkey and is on his way to Iran.
Even the establishment of diplomatic relations is also wordy, what do you say about our country's persecution of Ganshan Bailin expressed concern, and also asked for the construction of Baibai Temple in Nanjing to facilitate their diplomatic personnel to worship, this is not clear how many catties and taels he has, he still thinks he is an Ottoman Turkey hundreds of years ago?
Minister Li said that China respects any religion and different customs in the world, respects the beliefs of people of all ethnic groups, and responds to the Turkish side. A detailed investigation will be conducted and a reciprocal response will be followed. It is possible to build a Baibai Temple in Nanjing, but it is necessary to build a Buddhist temple, a Taoist temple and a Confucian temple in Istanbul.
Turkey is not happy anymore. Say we only want to build one, why do you want to build three at once?
Minister Li replied that the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism in China are one, you respect one religion, we respect the three religions, and it is disrespectful to lack any of them, just like you blaspheme the true God, and the people of Chinese give equal respect to the Buddha, the Three Qingdao Daoists and Confucius, and finally the Turkish side was speechless. No more requests were made for the construction of the White White Temple. ”
"Flutter~~" Yang Shuijiao and Zhou Xiuying, who were standing behind Wang Feng, couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle, although they never showed respect to Wang Feng, they were still very attentive on formal occasions.
Take the meeting with Miao Peilin as an example, Wang Feng and Miao Peilin sat opposite each other in the shade of the tree, with a plate of watermelons placed between Zhang Xiaoji, while Yang Shuijiao and Zhou Xiuying stood behind Wang Feng without saying a word.
I was used to standing in the original. It's not such a gaffe, it's just that Li Hongzhang's response is too ingenious, and Miao Peilin is also a wonderful person, imitating Wei Miao Weixiao.
In fact, Nanjing also had several white temples before the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. But the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom even bulldozed the Buddhist temples and Taoist temples, and the monks killed one by one, and the Taoist priests also had to untie their hair buns as long hair. How could the existence of the White White Temple be tolerated?
After Wang Feng entered Nanjing, he did not interfere with private fund-raising to rebuild Buddhist temples and Taoist temples. The construction of the Confucian Temple was led by the government, but the construction of the Baibai Temple was not allowed. There is no reason for this, he just does not allow it, and the gentry class generally supports Wang Feng's decision.
Wang Feng waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Since the eighteenth century, due to the outbreak of the industrial revolution in Europe, the Ottoman Turks have lost their scientific and technological superiority over Europe, and the war has also changed from offensive to defensive, and has been repeatedly frustrated by Russia, the territory has gradually shrunk, and the country is in danger due to the struggle for power and profit of the ruling class.
Since he regards himself as a caliph, it is not surprising that he is pointing fingers at China's religious problems, and this is ignored for the time being, and at present it is mainly aimed at dealing with Russia, and his reluctance to join forces with us is nothing more than a lack of confidence in us. ”
"Your Majesty has a point." Miao Peilin nodded, as if he had thought of something, and hurriedly added: "The minister almost forgot that there was also a dispute between Minister Li and Turkey over the title of caliph, and Turkey insisted that the Turkish Sultan be called caliph on the national credentials, believing that the Sultan was only a governor and insulting to the Turkish people.
Minister Li claimed that the Turkish Sultan's self-proclaimed caliph had not been unanimously recognized in the White Forest world, so he refused to admit it, and after several disputes, he finally reached a compromise with Turkey and called the Turkish Sultan the Ottoman Emperor, which was then stopped, but the Turkish government and the opposition seemed to be very unhappy. ”
Wang Feng smiled coldly: "In 661 AD, the fourth caliph Ali. Root. Talib was killed, and the White Religion has since split into Sunni and Shiite camps, which also marks the end of the Islamic orthodox caliphate, but the unorthodox caliphate has always existed, but the power is gradually lost, until 1258 AD, the Abbasid dynasty collapsed, and the Abbasid caliphate rebuilt the Cairo caliphate system in Cairo under the protection of the Egyptian Mamluk dynasty, and the caliphate became a political tool manipulated by the Egyptian Mamluk sultan.
In 1516, Ottoman Turkey wiped out the Mamluk Dynasty and deposed the Egyptian puppet caliphate, so far, the era of the unorthodox caliphate has also come to an end. ”
Yang Shuijiao couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "If you don't become your emperor, a country with a combination of politics and religion is really troublesome, Turkey didn't fulfill its wish from China this time, I'm afraid it won't give up." ”
Wang Feng thought deeply and said: "If Turkey knows what is good, China will not embarrass him, if he does not know what is good or bad, it will naturally be his turn to clean up Russia." As he spoke, he asked Miao Peilin, "What else?" ”
Miao Peilin said: "According to British news, the Queen of England has conferred on Mr. Bonham as a duke, and asked us to improve the treatment of prisoners of war, revoke sanctions and terminate the Sino-British workers' exchange program. ”
"Hehe~~" Wang Feng smiled: "This is good news for Alice, please express your gratitude to Queen England for me and Queen Alice." ”
"The minister will summon the British minister later." Miao Peilin nodded.
Wang Feng shook his head: "Britain is also forcing us to have no way, let's do it, the Asia-Pacific region is so far away, it's not easy to make a trip, there is no martial arts to show, compromise with us, and there is a fluke, in case China loses to Russia, he can deploy a plan to return to the Asia-Pacific region, the queen is waiting, wait for the results of the Sino-Russian war to make a decision."
However, since the British have shown goodwill, we should reciprocate the show and give the order to shorten the working hours of the British prisoners to ten hours a day, with an egg for breakfast and a braised pork for lunch. ”
"Yes!" A black hawk hurried away.
Originally, foreign captives worked twelve hours a day, breakfast was porridge and steamed buns, and lunch and dinner were only a few shredded meat, but now it has indeed improved a lot.
Miao Peilin then asked: "What about the sanctions against the UK and the Sino-British workers' exchange plan?" ”
Wang Feng said without hesitation: "You replied to the British Legation that the sanctions against the UK are not for the sake of tariffs, but to fundamentally promote the sustainable development of the UK, which is my concern and return to the people of Queen Alice's hometown.
I am shocked and puzzled by the obstruction of the British side, and if there is a misunderstanding between the two sides, I am willing to consult with the Queen of England on this issue. ”
Zhou Xiuying and Yang Shuijiao were about to die, their fragrant shoulders trembled for a while, Wang Feng's mouth was full of righteousness, and he also pulled the name of Alice, in fact, it was all empty words, this political literacy, I really don't accept it.
Miao Peilin also couldn't help but laugh and said: "The minister will explain to the British minister, and the other thing is about the Indochina Peninsula, France has been very active recently, among the countries of the peninsula, talk about friendship, and have the will to help the Khmer and Nanzhang establish a real country, and in addition to the Khmer and Nanzhang, Siam and Vietnam are also actively in contact with the French side, and the minister is worried that if they are ignored, these four countries are likely to fall into the arms of France, bringing hidden dangers." ”
Wang Feng pondered for a long time before he said: "China has dominated the Asia-Pacific region, as long as it defeats Russia, it will become stronger, and there will be no rivals around it from now on, but is this really a good thing?"
In Chinese history, the Han and Tang dynasties were all prosperous, and in foreign history, the Roman Empire was also a giant in the Mediterranean region, but these powerful empires were eventually annihilated in the dust of history.
Mencius has a cloud: If you enter, you will not be able to be a scholar, and if you go out, you will be invincible to foreign patients, and the country will die, and then you will be born in sorrow and die in peace.
The sages have already given the answer, so it is not entirely a bad thing to have a few hostile countries around China, at least let us understand that there are still people who dare to oppose us, and if China declines, these small countries will become a breakthrough for the Western forces to fight back, forcing us to stay sober enough to avoid breeding arrogance.
Don't bother with those four countries, let France toss, as long as we can't turn the sky overturned, we can watch from the sidelines. ”
Take the United States as an example, the United States, as the world's largest capitalist power, has a socialist Cuba and an anti-American Venezuela by its side, is this the magnanimity of the United States? Or is the United States incapable of overthrowing the current regimes in Cuba and Venezuela?
Wang Feng believes that absolutely not, the United States is raising its own respect, leaving two hostile small countries that are not a threat, and you can hear opposing voices from time to time, you must know that when there is a lot of applause but no opposition, it indicates that something is going wrong, which shows that the US ruling class is still very sober.
