Chapter 398: Persuasion with a Bitter Heart
"I mean, in the future, China will definitely occupy these places." Huang Xu poked the countries on the map one by one with his fingers, and said in an extremely confident tone.
Huang Xu is confident that he will definitely be able to do it.
"Marshal Huang, you, this, this is a little impossible." Xianfeng was a little dumbfounded.
Xianfeng has never thought about this problem, if he can be a gentleman who guards the success and steadily guards the Qing Dynasty, he will already recite Amitabha Buddha, how dare he have such an unattainable thought as Huang Xu.
He felt that Huang Xu was dreaming.
"It's impossible now, but it doesn't mean it's impossible in the future, I have this confidence, give me time, I can definitely do it." The confidence in Huang Xu's words made him like an emperor who was proud of the world, and people didn't dare to look up.
At this time, Huang Xu made Xianfeng feel a little ashamed.
"Don't be afraid to flash your tongue when you say big things." Monk Greenqin can't let Huang Xu be beautiful, he says everything to stand up and kill Huang Xu's majesty.
"Isn't it a big talk, everyone understands it very well in their hearts, in other words, is it your monk Greenqin, do you have the courage to say such domineering and confident words?" Zeng Guofan disdained the authenticity.
"You—" Monk Grinqin was speechless for a moment.
Zeng Guofan is telling the truth, Monk Greenqin really can't say it, besides, no matter how thick-skinned he is, he won't put gold on his face, he can say it like Huang Xu, he can't do it.
"Okay, don't argue, Marshal Huang, can you tell me your specific plans?" Xianfeng Feng was shocked by the small shock in his heart, and asked with a little expectation.
"Since the emperor is willing to listen. Then Huang Xu is ugly, I think so, after the unification of China, we first opened a knife on the Japanese people, the Japanese people have been the natural enemies of China since ancient times, and their heart to destroy my China has not died, so the Japanese people are like a confidant to my China, so we must destroy them first. Don't wait for them to develop strength. At that time, it will be a little late to find a way to descend it. Huang Xu said.
Huang Xu has a personal experience of the aftermath, so the first thing he does now is to get rid of the woes first. so that it is not possible to leave any one to come.
"Marshal Huang. It's not as scary as you say. The Japanese are the weakest of the eight kingdoms. Xianfeng had different opinions, and he didn't agree with Huang Xu's authenticity.
Among the Eight-Nation Alliance, Xianfeng looked down on the Japanese people the most. Therefore, when Huang Xu said that the Japanese people were a problem for his henchmen, Xianfeng was a little disapproving, he felt that the Japanese people could only be regarded as a mustard disease.
This is the problem of vision, due to the limitations of the times, Xianfeng cannot see so far as Huang Xu, know so much, Huang Xu's overall view is not Xianfeng can be compared, besides, Xianfeng is not an eloquent emperor, so, sometimes, some of his views and ideas, it is not difficult to understand.
"No, the Japanese are the best at hiding themselves and engaging in sneak attacks from behind, so the focus of our prevention and the key objects to prepare for the war are the Japanese at the moment." Huang Xu is very targeted.
"However, the Japanese people are separated from me by the sea, and I am afraid that it will not be so easy to capture the Japanese country." Xianfeng frowned, still suspicious.
"Yes, it's not that easy, so we need to be well prepared." Huang Xu nodded and said.
"Marshal Huang is thoughtful and sees thousands of miles, which is indeed not comparable to me, but after destroying the Japanese people, what will Marshal Huang do?" Xianfeng asked again.
"Conquer the elephants of India and defeat Tsarist Russia." Huang Xu let out a long breath and said slowly.
People live in this world, and if they can build such great achievements, how magnificent it is.
When Xianfeng heard this, his mind was still a little confused, he felt that Huang Xu's heart was too big, so big that it was simply boundless, he didn't know where Huang Xu came from, this idea was simply impossible.
Those two countries can be conquered if they want to, and they can be defeated if they want to.
Xianfeng even felt that Huang Xu was a little hot-headed, and his brain was simply clamping the door.
"Marshal Huang's idea is good, but it is still quite difficult to implement." Xianfeng pondered.
He didn't directly pour cold water on Huang Xu's face, it was enough to give Huang Xu face.
"There will be difficulties, but I believe they can be overcome." Huang Xu is still full of confidence.
Then good luck to you, Xianfeng thought.
"Marshal Huang said so much, I'm afraid he still didn't get to the point of the matter, right?" Ham Fung Road.
"The emperor still understands me, otherwise, how can I say that I am familiar with the emperor at first sight, I really want to ask the emperor for help." Huang Xu's words were very tactful.
"Marshal Huang, please." Ham Fung Road.
"Your Majesty, you see, I have prepared so many things later, and I am busy, but the premise is that our Greater China can be unified as soon as possible, so I would like to ask the emperor for a favor, hoping that the Qing Dynasty can form a coalition government with our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to manage our Greater China together." Huang Xu said.
This idea, Huang Xu has been brewing for a long time, a coalition government, a two-party system, although this is a later civilization, but it is not impossible to move here to give it a try, as long as both sides are more enlightened, it is completely achievable.
"You say so much, you still want me to submit to your so-called Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, right?" Xianfeng narrowed his eyes, as if asking whether to ask or not.
"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood, I mean a coalition of government and joint management of the country." Huang Xu tried to make his meaning a little clearer.
This political party is a product of later generations, in the eyes of Xianfeng, the feudal monarch, this is clearly, how could he agree to do this, if he agrees to do this, what has become of him Xianfeng, so it is absolutely impossible for Xianfeng to agree to do this.
"Impossible, don't agree, you can dream about it." Xianfeng flatly refused.
"Your Majesty, you don't need to answer me so quickly, or you can think about it again." Huang Xu didn't want Xianfeng to make this decision so quickly, he should at least take some time to think about it.
"There's nothing to think about, it's a good day. There are no two lords of the people, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, how can the emperor of the Qing Dynasty get up and sit with your so-called heavenly king, you still die of this heart. What Xianfeng said was that there was no room for maneuver.
This is his core interest, and he will not allow anyone to touch it.
"Your Majesty, please think more about our suffering nation, think about the people who have been bullied by the great powers, and then think about it." Huang Xu said almost in a pleading tone.
Internal friction has caused China to lose a lot of things, a lot of capital to confront the great powers. The only hope that Huang Xu has now is. To end this qiē as soon as possible, even at a great cost, he must do so.
"Nothing to think about, anyway. In a word. I disagree. This is the land of my Qing Dynasty, the country of the Qing Dynasty, why should I share it with others. Impossible, absolutely impossible. "Xianfeng stubbornly authentic.
In this matter, he Xianfeng will never give in.
"The emperor really doesn't want to think about it anymore?" Huang Xu is still unrelenting.
"Yes, not considering." Xianfeng still maintained this answer.
"Then, I want to say, I'm sorry, Your Majesty, you have lost an opportunity to reconcile everyone." Huang Xu's tone also began to change a little.
Since Xianfeng was stubborn, Huang Xu could only use other methods to make him understand the truth.
"You're threatening me?" Xianfeng's face changed, and his tone was stiff and authentic.
"If the emperor thinks so, then even so." Huang Xu does not deny it.
"Do you think I'll be afraid?" Xianfeng didn't feel the existence of this threat at all.
"Possibly." Huang Xu is plausible and authentic.
"Where do you get your confidence?" Xianfeng sneered.
"Be confident and at ease." Huang Xu continued.
"Then I want to see how you can use your self-confidence." Xianfeng was unwilling to give in in front of Huang Xu.
"Does the emperor know why for so many days, we have only besieged the inner palace?" Huang Xu said calmly.
"Why?" Xianfeng asked.
Xianfeng has had this question in his heart for a long time, he has never had a chance to ask, but he didn't expect Huang Xu to take the initiative to mention it, so he really needs to ask a good question, why is this.
"We are waiting for a result." Huang Xu said.
"The result? My reply? Xianfeng asked tentatively.
"No, the foreigner's reply." Huang Xu shook his head and said.
"The foreigner's reply?" Xianfeng repeated.
"Yes." Huang Xu said.
A bad premonition suddenly rose in Xianfeng's heart, and he felt that something had happened.
Yes, he guessed right, something did happen.
"What's the matter?" Xianfeng asked again.
"Your Majesty, you might as well take a look at this." Huang Xu said as he took out a few pages of paper from his pocket and handed them to Xianfeng.
"What's that?" Xianfeng muttered as he took it.
"The emperor will know if you look at it." Huang Xu took over and said.
Xianfeng stopped talking and carefully read what Huang Xu handed him.
Xianfeng looked at it, his face became more and more ugly, and his hand holding the paper began to tremble slightly, maybe the impulse brought to his soul by this thing was indeed too great.
Huang Xu was silent, waiting for Xianfeng to finish reading the things in his hand.
"Is this true?" Xianfeng didn't look up, and asked in a low voice.
Huang Xu could probably guess Xianfeng's mood at the moment.
"Does it make sense for me to make a fake thing to fool the emperor?" Huang Xu said.
Huang Xu knew that Xianfeng had already believed it, but Xianfeng's heart fluctuated too much at this time, and he needed a voice to calm down the fluctuations in his heart, so his question was completely out of instinct.
"Foreigners are really untrustworthy." Xianfeng suddenly threw the thing in his hand on the ground, stood up with a thud, and shouted.
"Does the emperor know now, I already knew." Huang Xu pursed his lips and said.
"You're mean, too." Xianfeng continued.
Huang Xu was stunned for a while, this Xianfeng is really out of tune, where is this, how is it pulled around, and it is pulled on his head again, Huang Xu really can't figure it out.
"What does the emperor mean by this, Huang Xu doesn't understand." Huang Xu asked hurriedly.
"You colluded with foreigners, signed such an agreement, and dealt with me, this is not despicable, what is it." Xianfeng is authentic.
It turned out that what Huang Xu showed Xianfeng was the draft agreement negotiated between the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Eight-Nation Alliance.
Huang Xu smiled when he heard Xianfeng's words. The smile was a little unscrupulous, and he thought this Xianfeng was really cute.
"Your Majesty, what you said is wrong, it is you who colluded with the foreigners first, not me, but I am innocent with the foreigners, and there is no dirty business, we are just doing business, and I also want to return the land ceded by the Qing government to the Eight-Nation Alliance for China. All unequal treaties were abolished. Let the Eight-Nation Coalition withdraw from the land of China from now on, if this is all collusion, then I have nothing to say. It can only be said. Even if it is. Huang Xu said.
"You..." Now it was Xianfeng's turn to be speechless.
Oh, yes. What else can Xianfeng say, what Huang Xu said is the truth.
"Huang Xu, no matter what you do. No matter what you say, I will not submit to your so-called kingdom of heaven anyway. Xianfeng still insisted on his own statement and did not let go.
Huang Xu was a little angry, and it was not ordinary anger, he spent so much effort and wasted so much saliva, just to value peace, reserve some vitality for both sides, and reduce some unnecessary losses for Greater China, but this Xianfeng didn't appreciate it, for his worthless bullshit dignity, he insisted on resisting to the end, what an elm head.
"Your Majesty, since you have talked to this point, then there is nothing to say between us, it seems that we can only fight it out." Huang Xu no longer has a good temper, and he speaks coldly.
"Hmph, I'm not afraid." Xianfeng did not show weakness.
"Okay, you can do it, you can, you wait for me." Huang Xu pointed at Xianfeng, without any emotion.
Dare to use his fingers Xianfeng, in this world, maybe Huang Xu is the first.
"I will be with you to the end." Xianfeng is also coldly connected.
Huang Xu looked at Xianfeng's face, and couldn't wait to go up and slap him a few times to wake up this so-called bastard, bastard.
"Dashuai, I order you to take the inner palace of the Qing court within today, and capture the monks Lingqin and Xianfeng alive." Huang Xu ordered loudly to Zeng Guofan beside him.
It seems that Huang Xu has really decided to solve the problem by force.
"Yes!" Zeng Guofan Hong Sheng promised.
Zeng Guofan heard Huang Xu say so much along the way, and even he felt that Huang Xu had done his best to be benevolent, but this Xianfeng just didn't appreciate it, he was really a diehards who didn't know what to do, and the only way to deal with this kind of diehards was to beat him softly.
"Come as you say, leave as you say, is there such a cheap good thing, come on, take these two people down to this king." Monk Greenqin shouted beside him.
He didn't want to let these two people go like this, it was quite unfavorable to them, if these two people were captured, maybe they could also be used as hostages, so that the Taiping army would not dare to act rashly.
Monk Greenqin really had a good calculation, but unfortunately, he hit the wrong person.
"Ha, ha, Monk Greenqin, you think too highly of yourself, since we dare to come so blatantly, of course we can leave without fear, it's not that I, Huang Xu, underestimate you, you can't keep us." Huang Xu laughed, as if he was watching a joke.
Monk Greenqin looked at the contempt in Huang Xu's eyes, the anger in his heart churned like fire, he snapped, pulled out the sword on his waist, and then pointed at Huang Xu and Zeng Guofan, and shouted: "Take down these two people, live or die." ”
Monk Lingqin's words were already murderous.
Huang Xu turned his head again to see Xianfeng's reaction to this, but Xianfeng seemed indifferent to this, Huang Xu couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this, he was completely dead to Xianfeng.
Huang Xu looked at the Qing army that was surrounding him again, raised his head and whistled softly, then grabbed the monk Lingqin beside him, rose up, rose like a wisp of green smoke, and then slowly floated outside the palace.
When the forbidden army besieging the two saw this scene, they were all stunned and forgot to attack, until Seng Lingqin shouted loudly and released the arrow, and everyone came to their senses, and they hurriedly used bows and arrows to attack, but Huang Xu and the two were already far away at this time.
Looking at the two people in the distance, Seng Ling stomped his feet angrily, but he was helpless, while Xianfeng was silent, no one knew what he was thinking in his heart, perhaps, he also regretted it a little, he regretted not listening to Huang Xu's persuasion.
Either way, this final battle is coming.
No (to be continued......)
