Early the morning of the second day after the banquet, Long Yufei summoned Prime Minister Li Decheng, Foreign Minister Lin Zihao, and Chief of General Staff General Niu Meng. Although he did not attend the banquet last night, the relevant officials had already told him what had happened at the banquet. Little Japan dared to make a sudden attack, which was beyond Long Yufei's expectations. Although Long Yufei himself is a person who doesn't care much about reputation, if he does it this way, the reputation of the soon-to-be-established Chinese empire in the West will definitely not be good. In particular, Britain, the enemy of the Chinese Empire, will certainly spare no effort to smear China.

"See Your Majesty!" Prime Minister Li Decheng, Foreign Minister Lin Zihao, and Chief of General Staff General Niu Meng respectfully saluted Long Yufeifei.

"Excuse me, let's do it!" Long Yufei said.

The female officials of the palace gave tea to several people, and then withdrew. In the study, in addition to Long Yufei and a few ministers, only Li Hu, the chief of the guard, remained.

"Guys, I heard there was an accident at last night's banquet?" Long Yufei asked.

"Your Majesty, it's the ministers who are not well organized, please forgive your sins!" Foreign Minister Lin Zihao hurriedly said. He really didn't expect that little Japan would suddenly go crazy and dare to accuse Xinhua in front of everyone. Although that guy eventually committed suicide, he was also unable to wash away the sewage that had been spilled on Xinhuaguo's body. Although the envoys of various countries who came to China did not say anything, what they thought in their hearts. It's hard to say.

"Don't worry too much, it's just a trifle. You didn't expect it either. Anyway, in the eyes of Westerners. The reputation has long been stinky, even if it is being splashed with sewage by others, it doesn't matter. Long Yufei said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, it's always those Westerners who look at us with colored glasses. Someday, our troops will land on the European continent and let those Westerners know that we are awesome! "The Chief of the General Staff, General Niu Meng, said. This is an era where strength is respected. As long as the armies of the new Chinese kingdom can sweep across the European continent, those Westerners will have to bow their noble heads. It's like the British, although they are world hegemons. But didn't he also send ministers to China to participate in Long Yufei's enthronement ceremony this time? This qiē is all because of the strong military strength of the Xinhua State.

"Haha, I'm really looking forward to this day!" Long Yufei laughed. He knew that as long as the whole country went step by step according to his vision. There will be a day when all the nations of Europe will bow down.

"Your Majesty is relieved. This day won't be long! Admiral Niu Meng patted his chest and assured Long Yufei.

"However, little Japan dares to disgust us, and we can't just cheap them. Wait until the enthronement ceremony is over, and find a chance to clean them up! Long Yufei said. Japan is a small country with a weak population and barren land, but its population is as high as more than 20 million. In addition, Japan is rich in gold, although the mines are now almost exhausted. But if all the wealth of Japan can be plundered, it will be a very large fortune. Don't say anything else. The Japanese imperial family, which has been inherited for thousands of years, and the Tokugawa family, who have ruled Japan for more than 200 years, must be rich and flowing. Xinhuaguo's industrial construction requires a lot of funds, and if it relies on Xinhuaguo's own slow accumulation, it will take a lot of time. In order to save time, Long Yufei could only think of other ways. And what could be faster than robbing a country? Japan has undoubtedly become the first target of Xinhua. Long Yufei believed that defeating or even destroying Japan would definitely bring great benefits to Xinhua.

"Your Majesty, the minister has long had such thoughts. Although Japan had a large population, they were divided into feudal domains, and the Tokugawa shogunate was able to control only half of Japan. As long as the Xinhua Army dispatches a fleet and a few infantry brigades, it will be enough to sweep through the whole of Japan! Moreover, our new infantry brigade is being formed, which is undoubtedly a good opportunity for training. Admiral Niu Meng immediately said that if he can fight, he is naturally a hundred times more energetic. This is probably the common problem of the generals who came from the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood!

"Your Majesty, Japan is so barren and has a large population, will it outweigh the losses by attacking Japan?" Prime Minister Li Decheng said with some concern. After all, it takes a lot of military spending to start a large army.

"Prime Minister, although Japan is barren and its people are poor, their ruling class is not poor. After conquering Japan, we will be able to at least recover more than 200 million Chinese dollars of wealth with Japan. This does not include Japan's abundant labor resources, large-scale construction in the country, which requires a large number of laborers, and these Japanese, although they are a little shorter, are still very good to use as coolies. Long Yufei said.

"In that case, the cabinet has no opinion." Li Decheng said. He believed what Long Yufei said, if he could really get so much wealth from Japan, then he would start a war against Japan and make sure that he would not lose money.

"Well, Chief of the General Staff, the General Staff can draw up a battle plan, and after the enthronement ceremony is over, it will start to use troops against Japan." Long Yufei said. Like the Chinese of later generations, he was full of hatred for Japan. This country is a typical white-eyed wolf. When China is strong, they will submit to China, like a lackey. But when China declines, they will become wolves, biting off pieces of flesh and blood from China's body to develop themselves. Since Long Yufei has traveled to this era, he will not allow this qiē to happen again.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The Chief of the General Staff, General Niu Meng, said immediately.

"Your Majesty, at the banquet I had a brief secret conversation with the Duke of Dalmatia, the Prime Minister of France, and the Duke of Valencia, the Prime Minister of Spain, both of whom are interested in forming an alliance with us to deal with Britain together." Foreign Minister Lin Zihao said.

"Hmmm! The British are powerful, and the two countries are almost out of breath in Europe. Our defeat to Britain this time undoubtedly gave them a chance. Long Yufei said.

"Shall we make an alliance with them?" Lin Zihao asked.

"As the old saying goes, if it is not within my clan, their hearts will be different. Although France and Spain have enmity with Britain, they are ultimately the Western world, and they are fundamentally different from us. Now they are willing to form an alliance with us in order to deal with the British. But once we are strong enough to threaten the entire Western world, they will surely unite against us! Long Yufei said.

Hearing Long Yufei say this, the faces of several people became stern.

"Your Majesty, do you mean we don't ally with them?" Prime Minister Li Decheng asked.

"No, it is still very beneficial for us to form an alliance at this stage, but we must always be vigilant and not be betrayed by these foreign devils. In addition, our national construction still needs a lot of money and talents, especially in education, and we are still far from Western countries. With this alliance, we can get what we want from France and Spain. Long Yufei said. As the process of industrialization is getting higher and higher, the disadvantages of Xinhuaguo in terms of talent are becoming more and more obvious. Although Xinhua has long begun to implement free and compulsory education. However, one is that the population of Nanyang is too small, and the other is that the time is too short, and the gap in senior talents is very large. If we can bring in talents in education and science and technology from Europe, it will undoubtedly save a lot of time for Xinhuaguo.

"Yes, Majesty, I see what you mean!" Lin Zihao nodded.

Long Yufei continued: "We can form an alliance with France and Spain, but we must keep it secret. In addition, after the alliance is formed, it is necessary to weaken the military role of the alliance and focus on the rapid economic and cultural exchanges, which is what we need! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Lin Zihao said. He completely understood what Long Yufei meant.

"Well, let's do it according to this policy!" Long Yufei said. Xinhua, France and Spain can use each other, but at a critical moment, it is most important to ensure their own interests. The most important thing is to do everything possible to develop our own strength, which is the most fundamental thing. China has a population of hundreds of millions, more than all of Europe combined. Once the industrialization is developed, Long Yufei is fully confident that he will defeat the entire Western world and make China the leader and sole hegemon of the world.

"Your Majesty, the enthronement ceremony is ready, just waiting for that day to come." Li Decheng said.

"Hmm!" Long Yufei nodded, he was still very excited about ascending the throne and becoming emperor. In a few days, he will become the supreme emperor of this great country.

On December 18, 1844, the weather was clear and the sky was clear. The common people in Guangzhou changed into new clothes early in the morning and went out, rushing to the palace square on the outskirts to watch the enthronement ceremony of the great emperor Xià. Everyone's faces were filled with joyful smiles, and they had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

The enthronement ceremony was held in the square in front of the palace, which was specially built after Long Yufei announced the relocation of the capital to Guangzhou, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people. In the very center of the square, a high altar was erected. Long Yufei will worship the heavens here, leading the courtiers of Xinhuaguo to pray to heaven, and also said that Xinhuaguo has been recognized by God.

The envoys from all over the world who came to observe the ceremony were arranged not far from the altar. They will witness the founding of a great nation!

At 8:30 a.m., Long Yufei took his wife Luo Yuhua and son Long Hua, escorted by the palace guards, out of the palace and walked towards the altar. Behind them, there are hundreds of civil and military officials, all of whom are dressed in Hanfu, symbolizing the orthodoxy of the Han people! (To be continued......)
