Episode 79 Wash and sleep

As the Ming Dynasty suddenly made these two demands to the Northern Qing Dynasty,.

Moreover, as expected by the decision-makers of the Ming Dynasty, this issue suddenly flew from the negotiating table to the world, attracting the attention of the whole world. Because of the silence of the front for many days, the world's focus has shifted somewhat from the Ming and Qing wars back to the Spanish battlefield, but now with the question raised. The Ming and Qing dynasties have re-emerged as a global focus.

Da Ming immediately won the applause of the whole world, and Beiqing immediately felt unprecedented pressure. Nanming's two demands did not involve "real" issues such as military, land, and indemnity, but for the Northern Qing Dynasty, he would rather Nanming make land claims, military claims, and compensation demands with it. Now these two moral demands, the Northern Qing Dynasty is simply more uncomfortable than losing the Central Plains War.

In Nanming, the voice of support for the government army has once again set off. Many writers, political commentators, and opinion leaders who have always been tired of watching the government start a war and always find fault with the government are now less calling. There was even a big turn in attitude and began to support the government's Northern Expedition. The centripetal force of the people's hearts has been greatly enhanced, and the patriotic enthusiasm of the people has also been unprecedentedly raised.

Internationally, although the officials of various countries have not yet expressed their positions, the solidarity of the people has been rising one after another. United Kingdom, United States, France, Belgium, Czech Republic, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Canada, Australia...... In front of the embassy of the Northern Qing Dynasty in the capital of other countries, there were more or less popular gatherings, holding various signs and slogans, calling on the Northern Qing government to accept these two demands of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

But in the USSR, Germany, Italy, Austria, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Portugal, Argentina, Cuba, Paraguay...... In these more or less **** countries, it is a calm and harmonious situation, and the people sit by the radio, listen to the news that the government has screened out for them to listen to, and then wash and sleep in either satisfaction or complaining.

In Beiqing, it is even more calm and peaceful. The common people do not feel that today is any different from today a month ago, today a year ago, or ten years ago.

……

The foreign minister of the Northern Qing Dynasty immediately issued a statement, declaring to the whole world that this was the core interest of the Qing Dynasty and also the Qing Dynasty's own affairs. How a country runs a newspaper and how many newspapers it runs is like how many children a family has and what names they give to their children. Therefore, neither Nanming nor other countries are qualified to interfere arbitrarily. At this time, Nanming threw out the so-called "media issue" and "road issue" in order to put pressure on the negotiating table and try to force the Qing Dynasty to make concessions on other issues so that it could obtain greater benefits.

The Foreign Minister went on to say that the two unreasonable demands thrown out by Nan Ming were themselves groundless and untenable. Nanming's high-sounding reason for asking the Qing Dynasty to allow individuals to run the newspaper was nothing more than that the "Daqing Daily" was not running well enough. But is that so?

Daqing Daily is an excellent newspaper. First of all, Daqing Daily is the largest newspaper in the world, with the largest number of staff in the world, the most generous funds in the world, the strongest ability to interview and write the most in the world, and the content of each issue is also the largest among newspapers in the world. All this shows that Daqing Daily is the best newspaper in the world, and it is beyond the reach of all newspapers in the world. As one of the best newspapers in the world, it is understandable that the whole world is jealous at this time, and it wants to establish one or several so-called "competitors" for it.

On the contrary, the so-called "open newspapers" of Nanming and European and American countries are mixed with a large number of commercial advertisements. Is it true that when readers spend money to buy newspapers, they sell advertisements? The Daqing Daily never advertised. This fully shows that Nanming Newspaper, as well as European and American newspapers, are completely supported by consortia and bosses, while Daqing Daily is completely autonomous. Every day, the Nanming newspaper is full of articles in which various forces in the country abuse and attack each other. What's more, they openly satirized and ridiculed the officials of the imperial court, and some even pointed the finger at the royal family. Is this kind of newspaper that fears that the world will not be chaotic is what the people of the Qing Dynasty want to see? The content of the "Daqing Daily" is full of peacefulness, friendship, gentleness, and gentleness, and the chaotic and noisy newspapers of the Nanming newspaper. Nanming's current mentality of "not letting others be good if he is not good, and leading the disaster to others" can be said to be obvious!

As for the "road issue," the foreign minister of the Northern Qing Dynasty said, it was just a means to maintain domestic law and order and reduce crime. How the people of the Qing Dynasty traveled, it was not Nanming's turn to care. What's more, the road system of the Qing Dynasty at this stage is also very superior. For example, if a person kills someone in his village, he can immediately escape in Nanming. And it's hard to catch him in the future. But in the Qing Dynasty, without roads, he couldn't run. Could it be that Nanming's system of encouraging murderers to flee is also a good system? The rate of solving criminal cases announced by Nanming itself every year is only about 35%, and sometimes it is less than 30%, which shows that the people of Nanming have been living in fear for a long time. The detection rate of criminal cases in the Qing Dynasty was as high as 99.95%, and in many years it was as high as 100%, and the people of the Qing Dynasty were full of a sense of security. Two sets of numbers immediately illustrate the essence of the problem.

To sum up, the foreign minister of the Northern Qing Dynasty sternly said that if the Southern Ming Dynasty wants to truly win respect in the international community, it should at least get rid of this irresponsible habit of speaking in the future. At this point, the Qing Dynasty has a lot to learn from Nanming.

……

Nanjing, Xiang Xiaoqiang looked at the "Daqing Daily" in his hand, looked at the speech of the Foreign Minister published in full on the front page, smiled and shook his head:

"Tut-tut...... Talent. What a talent...... What is talent? That's talent...... What was the most valuable in the 20th century? - Talent! …… If one day, this writer can't get along in the "Daqing Daily", he can jump ship to "Pravda" and say. ”

Yonggui sat on the other side of the negotiation table and said with a smile:

"Lord Xiang doesn't have to take it seriously...... If you think it's fun, just watch it. Alas, I also have to be considerate of our emperor's difficulties. You're making such a big noise all over the world, and we're going to have to make a gesture. Anyway, it's for our own people to see, outside, everyone knows it. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang also smiled:

"Hehe, yes...... Alas...... When you think about your poor people, you can't help but feel a sense of intellectual superiority. Hahaha. ”

"Ahem, sir."

Beside him, Xiuxiu touched him and reminded him in a low voice.

Xiang Xiaoqiang quickly suppressed his smile, sighed, threw the newspaper on the table, and said lightly to Yonggui:

"About these two ...... Can we understand that this is your last attitude? ”

Yonggui smiled:

"Lord Xiang, didn't you say that these things, just show them to the common people, let's discuss some real things. These vain things can't be eaten or worn, to be honest, even if we promise you these two, can you get a little benefit? We, the people of the Northern Qing Dynasty, can we grow a few more catties of crops in the field or what? I tell you, even if you take these two items and ask our people now, they will not necessarily be able to see you. At most, we will learn from Britain and the United States, have a referendum, and ask the people whether they are willing to accept your two items, or are each family willing to ask for two catties of white noodles? What do you think about the result? You don't have anything to say then, do you? ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled:

"Okay, go and vote. Let's not talk about the first article, but just say the second one, 'free movement', do you dare to vote? ”

Yongguipi said with a smile:

"Hehe, Lord Xiang, why don't you dare. From 51% to 100%, whatever you want, we can vote for you as much as you want. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled and didn't speak.

Yonggui smiled:

"Sir, I understand your thoughts. Don't you just want to make a high profile, and then the United States is willing to support you and approve you to buy military vehicles? Hehe, Lord Xiang, isn't there a drama to support you now? Even the president of the United States does not dare to call the shots to support you, how meaningful do you think it is to support you in a play? …… Alas, Germany used to shout that the world economy was controlled by a gang of Jews, and it seems that it really is. What about the Jews in America? They are the first to fight you. Does the Light Ford Consortium support you, does the Rothschild Jewish Consortium support you? Now that they even have a president, what about a drama to support you? Is there an influential Jew who supports you? ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang sneered, thinking about what to say.

"Yes," he said, "though not yet ......."

"Report!"

Hu Jiong came in, approached Xiang Xiaoqiang, and handed him a telegram.

Xiang Xiaoqiang glanced down a few times, and his chest jumped up excitedly.

But his face was not shocked, he just smiled and put the newspaper on the table and flicked it to Yonggui opposite.

Yonggui took it suspiciously, lowered his head and read:

“…… Albert Einstein, a professor at Princeton University in the United States...... In his personal name, he called on the US Congress to give Ming support on the issue of arms purchases...... and call on fellow Jews in America to stand on the side of justice and conscience......"

He raised his head and looked at Xiao Qiang in disbelief.

After a long time, he said one sentence:

“…… How...... Love...... Einstein was also Jewish? ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled very quickly:

"How can it, people are obviously Jurchens."

……

That night, Yonggui contacted Beijing with several telegrams, and then at almost ten o'clock, he told the maid at the door that he had asked to see Princess Liaoyang.

The maid led him to the downstairs where Princess Liaoyang lived, first let him sit in the living room downstairs, and then immediately went to report to Xiang Xiaoqiang. Xiang Xiaoqiang heard that Yonggui asked to see Fourteen Gege, hesitated for a while, and ordered:

"Ask Princess Liaoyang if she would like to see him."

The maid ran back to the fourteen-grid building, but Yonggui had already gone up. Several maids of Fourteen Gege said that it was Fourteen Gege who heard that Yonggui asked to see him and directly announced him.

When Xiang Xiaoqiang learned of this situation, it was difficult to interfere anymore. He wondered what Yonggui was trying to do, and what he wanted to say to Fourteen Gege alone. However, what Yonggui asked to see was Fourteen Gege, and Fourteen Gege had already called Yonggui up, so it was really not good to interfere with himself.

He just ordered that the bodyguards of Fourteen Gege should closely guard the safety of the princess and prevent Yonggui from wanting to hurt the princess.

……

"Gege!"

As soon as Fourteen Gege retreated, Yonggui knelt on the ground with a big bow and said with a crying voice:

"Gege, even if you break off with Daqing En and no longer think about Daqing, you have to think about yourself!"
