Xinhua and the Manchus signed the Treaty of Guangzhou, which marked the temporary end of the war between Xinhua and the Manchus. Although the war did not completely overthrow the Manchus, the Manchus still occupied a huge territory north of the Yangtze River. However, Xinhuaguo's strength has undoubtedly been further enhanced. Not to mention, the millions of square kilometers of land south of the Yangtze River plus Sichuan, as well as the population of more than 100 million to nearly 200 million, will make Xinhua one of the most powerful countries in the world, both in terms of land and population. This means that Xinhua has been reborn, and from now on, Xinhua is no longer a small country in the South Seas, but has truly grown into a world power. Moreover, with the continuous improvement of the industrialization process of Xinhua Kingdom, Xinhua Kingdom has a great opportunity to challenge Britain's position as a world hegemon in the future.

In Xinhua, there was also some opposition to the signing of the Treaty of Canton with the Manchu government. Especially among the middle and lower-ranking officers in the military, many people have opinions about this. In the previous war, they had already recognized the incompetence of the Qing army. Many people believe that the Xinhua Army is now fully capable of crossing the Yangtze River and fighting all the way to Beijing to overthrow the Manchus. Signing a peace treaty now is tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain, which makes them very sorry. It's just that the military is also the most disciplined group of people. Although they are dissatisfied. But in the face of the king's order, they still chose to obey, and no one dared to disobey the order. At most, it is just a few words of underestimation in private.

In fact, after almost a year of war, Xinhua was also exhausted. Hundreds of thousands of troops are extremely tired, and the number of non-combatants is constantly increasing. In addition, the war materials are also consumed very quickly, and if the war continues, Xinhua is also in danger of being dragged down. In addition, although a lot of territory was occupied. But it will take time for these territories to govern and develop before they can be turned into real territories under the rule of the Xinhua State, not just occupied territories. Only after digesting these territories. Only then will the national strength of Xinhua be truly enhanced. At the top of the military, most people figured out how to temporarily stop the war with the Manchus. They stand at different heights, and they naturally see the problem more comprehensively. Not to mention. And they know it. The signing of a peace treaty with the Manchus was only temporary. When the new Chinese state is ready again, it will definitely cross the Yangtze River and overthrow the Manchus in one fell swoop. Even if the Manchu Qing Dynasty expanded their armaments with reckless force, it would be absolutely impossible to resist the attack of the Xinhua Army. It can be said that this war has laid the foundation for the rise of Xinhua State, which will rule China in the future. It must be Xinhuaguo!

After the treaty was signed, the Guangdong Provincial Government of Xinhua held a banquet. Provincial Governor Liang Baochang, Vice Governor Fang Minghong and Foreign Minister Lin Zihao all attended. Members of the Manchu delegation, who had not yet left Guangzhou, were also invited to attend the banquet. The banquets of the government of the new Chinese state were Western-style, which seemed so new to the Manchu officials. These people, although they were high-ranking officials of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, were actually just a bun of dirt buns. Except for Seishan, who had been to Singapore before, the others had never attended such a banquet at all.

However, because of the signing of the peace treaty, the pressure on everyone's shoulders is much less. I was able to drink at the banquet. It's just that the officials of the Xinhua Kingdom are celebrating the victory, while the officials of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are more of a drunken drink.

"Lord Sai, Lord Mu, from now on, our two countries will be friendly neighbors, for the sake of peace, let's have a toast!" Lin Zihao, the foreign minister of Xinhua, had a smile on his face. He was very satisfied that the treaty was signed.

"Cheers to peace!" The Manchu military ministers Saishana and Mu Zhang'a hurriedly raised their glasses. Liang Baochang, governor of Guangdong Province, and Fang Minghong, vice governor of Xinhuaguo, also joined in. Everyone had a smile on their faces, and at least from the point of view of the presentation, everyone was relatively satisfied.

"Lord Lin, the old man has a mention, I don't know if I should talk about it or not." Mu Zhang'a said suddenly.

"Master Mu, if you have anything to say." Lin Zihao said.

"Lord Lin, the old man thinks that in order to consolidate the friendly relations between our two countries, we can make peace between our two countries!" Mu Zhang'a said.

"And pro?" Lin Zihao and the others were a little surprised. Xinhua Kingdom has only been established for a few years, and King Long Yufei has only one son, who is still a child. If you want to get married, only the princess of the Manchu Qing Dynasty can marry into Xinhua. However, Emperor Daoguang has already died, and Emperor Xianfeng is only twelve years old, do they have a suitable candidate?

"Yes, Lord Lin. If our two countries can get along, then our relationship will be even closer. After the two countries form a friendship between Qin and Jin, there will probably be no more war! Mu Zhang'a said. He knew that a paper contract could not bind Xinhua at all, and if the two countries could be reconciled, it would bring the relationship between the two countries closer. Of course, even if the peace is successful, it is not an insurance, it can only make the Manchu government a little more reassured. And Mu Zhang'a, as the person who promoted the peace between the two countries, will surely be rewarded. His status among the ministers of military aircraft may be improved a lot.

Lin Zihao frowned, although this kind of thing is very common between countries. China's successive dynasties have also made peace with foreign countries many times. In Europe, intermarriage between members of the royal family is also very common. However, Xinhuaguo is too young a country. This is the first time for them. Lin Zihao couldn't say whether King Long Yufei would agree.

"Lord Mu, among the daughters of Emperor Daoguang, is there a suitable candidate?" Liang Baochang, governor of Guangdong Province, asked. He felt that there was nothing wrong with the peace between the two countries.

"Lord Liang, the sixth daughter of the first emperor, Princess Shouen Gulun, is fourteen years old, beautiful as a flower, knowledgeable, and a good candidate. I think that as long as King Xinhua asks His Majesty for marriage, His Majesty will definitely agree. Mu Zhang'a said. Although, Long Yufei, the king of Xinhua, is now 33 years old, which is nine years older than Princess Shou Engulun. However, in their opinion, such a small age gap is nothing at all.

"Lord Lin, what do you see?" Liang Baochang asked.

"Master Mu, after I return to Manila, I will give you an answer after I have asked His Majesty what he means!" Lin Zihao said. He didn't dare to make the decision for Long Yufei, if Long Yufei didn't agree, then he would suffer unwarranted disasters.

"Okay, okay, let's ask King Xinhua what he means first." Mu Zhang'a said. However, in his opinion, the noble status of the princess of the Qing Dynasty is completely enough for an upstart like Long Yufei. Long Yufei shouldn't know what to do, right?

Xinhua Foreign Minister Lin Zihao returned to Manila on October 12, and Prime Minister Li Decheng personally went to the pier to welcome him back. The signing of the "Guangzhou Treaty" made Xinhuaguo gain enormously, especially the additional Sichuan, which made Xinhuaguo very satisfied. Lin Zihao can be said to have made a great contribution.

"Your Excellency, when you were in Guangzhou, Mu Zhang'a, the Minister of Military Aircraft of the Manchu Dynasty, proposed that our two countries be peaceful, do you think this method is feasible?" On the way back to the city, Lin Zihao asked.

Li Decheng frowned, as an old man from Flying Fish Island, he knew that Long Yufei and Luo Yuhua had a very good relationship, although Long Yufei also married several concubines one after another, but Luo Yuhua has always been the queen of Xinhuaguo. If Xinhua and the Manchus were reconciled, how should the Manchu princesses be placed? I can't let her come to Xinhua to be the queen.

"Lord Lin, let's ask Your Majesty before talking." Li Decheng said. Li Decheng himself is not interested in the princess of the Manchu Dynasty.

Li Decheng and Lin Zihao met him in the study of Long Yufei in the palace.

"See Your Majesty!" Both of them respectfully saluted Long Yufeifei.

"Excuse me! Lord Lin, this trip to Guangzhou has been hard. However, you have achieved a great deal of success in reaching a treaty that is extremely beneficial to us! Long Yufei said with a smile. The large territory and population, as well as the indemnity of up to 30 million taels of silver, will make the development of Xinhua grow again. After Xinhua digested these territories and populations, Long Yufei believed that Xinhua would no longer have to fear Britain. Even if it competes with Britain on a global scale, Xinhua has this capital.

"Your Majesty, this is what a minister should do. The point is that our army has won, otherwise the Manchu government would not have succumbed so quickly. Lin Zihao said.

Long Yufei smiled and nodded, Lin Zihao was right, in this era, big fists are the last word. The reason why the Manchus were soft was because of the strength of the Xinhua army.

"Your Majesty, when I was in Guangzhou, Mu Zhang'a, the Manchu minister of military aircraft, proposed that we could make a contract with the Manchus. They can marry the sixth daughter of Emperor Daoguang, Princess Shou Engulun, to His Majesty. In turn, to strengthen the relationship between our two countries. Lin Zihao said.

"What? And pro? Long Yufei was stunned for a moment. This was something he hadn't thought about. Xinhuaguo has also focused on collecting information about the Manchu royal family, and the current Princess Shouen Gulun is still 14 years old! Marrying such a little girl, Long Yufei will have a sense of guilt. What's more, Long Yufei has never been interested in those Gege of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Are there any beautiful characters in the Manchu Qing Dynasty? Long Yufei remembered that before crossing over, he had seen some photos of Manchu Gege on the Internet, one by one like an old witch, he would not marry such a woman, otherwise he would not be able to sleep at night.

"Forget it, don't make peace with them. After a few years, we will go directly to Beijing and overthrow the Manchus. There is no need to be with a pro at all! Long Yufei said very resolutely! (To be continued......)
