[Thank you book friends for 20170515111944861 10,000 rewards, plus 2/3]

It is said that when the country is about to die, there will be demons, and this demon may be a traitorous minister or a faint monarch.

For example, the Qing Emperor buried his neck in the loess.

During this time, the food stamps and the Holy See have been attacked, the court has been noisy, the grass and trees are all soldiers, and all the ministers are cautious in their words, lest any words are wrong, anger the emperor, and then lose their lives.

In the court, a minister came out.

"Your Majesty, there are Westerners who are floating on a boat and drifting on the sea, transporting opium to our Qing Dynasty, killing the people, and plundering money, causing the people of our Qing Dynasty to be poor and the country to be weak, if this goes on for a long time, ......"

Another opium speaker.

If in the past, this kind of thing was lost in the sea, no one cared about it, and no one cared about it, and even many ministers would tacitly suppress it and turn it into a small matter.

As for why, just look at the way those ministers yawned.

Today, however, was different, and the ministers, who had been silent for many days, finally found an outlet and came out one after another to report about opium.

The ministers wanted to divert the attention of the emperor, at least from killing the minister.

You can kill anyone, as long as the butcher's knife doesn't fall on your neck.

When Emperor Qing heard this, he immediately frowned.

"Zhong Aiqing, what is the best plan for opium?"

One of the ministers immediately replied: "The inflow of opium is nothing more than the customs outlets, and it is only necessary to close the country, and the pieces are not allowed to go to the sea, and the foreigners' transportation channels are cut off, and opium is cut off." ”

Another minister replied: "If I grow opium poppies in the Qing Dynasty and produce them and sell them at a cheaper price, the foreigners will not be profitable, and I will not continue to trade opium." In addition, an opium tax can be set up to enrich the national treasury and enrich the national wealth. ”

The ministers were whimsical, and one after another fantastical ideas were proposed, and they were unanimously praised.

Emperor Qing listened to them one by one, pondered carefully, and felt that these wine bags and rice bags had finally done a serious job.

As a result, the Qing Emperor followed the advice and announced a series of operations such as closing the country and vigorously planting poppies.

As for the foreigners in the Qing Dynasty, on the grounds of colluding with the cult, their property was confiscated, and their people were expelled from the country.

There were several Western missionaries in the palace of the Qing Emperor, all from the Vatican, and these missionaries had been friends with the Qing Emperor for decades, although they had not been able to convert the Qing Emperor, but they still had a private relationship.

The Holy See of the South judged the Vatican to be a heretic, and the Vatican naturally would not be polite to the Holy See of the South, and spared no effort to discredit it.

It was precisely because of these missionaries that the Qing Emperor was very jealous of the Southern Holy See, so much so that he suppressed and eradicated them on a large scale.

Moreover, the orthodox missionaries were full of disgust and disdain for opium dealers, so they crooked their mouths in front of the Qing Emperor, saying that the opium dealers and the southern Holy See were together, and the opium dealers were confiscated and expelled.

The history is strikingly similar, even with Xi Tong, the troublemaker, who has made history unrecognizable, it still develops along its inherent trajectory.

For example, this opium controversy.

The reason for the dispute was not so open, and the purpose of the Qing court's ban on foreigner opium was also to promote domestic products, not really for the health and happiness of the people.

But, the consequences are the same.

Opium dealers, who had suffered huge losses, began to gather ships and manpower, and opium dealers from various countries gathered a total of more than 300 sail warships and thousands of cargo ships, and after the fleet was assembled, they went north along the coastline, ready to talk to the Qing Empire.

As in history, their first stop was the City of Flowers.

The only difference is that they did not dare to be presumptuous in Huacheng, but respectfully landed and went to the temple to worship the main god of the system, hoping that the main god of the system would bless them with a smooth expedition and a complete victory.

Xi Tong: ......

Subsequently, the commander of this fleet asked to see the Pope.

Xi Tong wanted to know the purpose of these opium dealers, so he asked Ye Yiruo to meet them.

"Praise the Lord God of the system, praise your Majesty the Pope, your follower Pu Dingcha, willing to follow your guidance and open up new territories for the bright world."

After saying a few words, Xi Tong gradually understood what Pu Ding Cha meant.

This guy wants to pull the Holy See to fight with the Qing Empire, they are responsible for the sea route, the Holy See is responsible for the land route, the two sides go out together, but the logistics and foster care are all in the responsibility of the Holy See.

This Nima, the white wolf with empty gloves on display.

Pu Dingcha was not embarrassed, so he puffed up his chest and said: "Your Majesty the Pope, I heard that the barbarian emperors of the north are wantonly destroying churches, slaughtering believers, and slandering the great Holy See as heretics and rebellions. ”

"As a citizen of God, I cannot tolerate such blasphemy, I will take up arms to fight for God, and I will express my devotion to God with the blood and heads of my enemies!"

Ye Yiruo also heard Pu Dingcha's intention, she didn't know how to answer, so she asked quietly in the chip.

Xi Tong replied: "Expelle it!" ”

Xi Tong also wanted to beat the Manchus all over the ground to find teeth, but that was with his own strength.

What is the power of outsiders?

What's more, with Xi Tong's strength, he still needs to rely on the power of outsiders?

Pu Ding Cha didn't look at which onion he was, and fought on behalf of the main god of the system.

Pu Dingcha left angrily, and the soldiers who had come ashore quickly returned to their ships, and after thousands of warships and cargo ships had replenished their supplies, they immediately headed north.

On the other side, Xi Tong contacted Luo Tianyi.

"Open the Weather Control Center in Flower City."

Soon, a projection screen appeared in front of Xi Tong, which clearly displayed everything within a hundred miles radius around Huacheng.

Pu Dingcha's fleet had just left Huacheng and headed north along the coastline, and it had not yet run ten kilometers at this time.

Xi Tong pointed at Pudingcha's fleet.

"Destroy them!"

Xi informed the next story of this fleet, and Xi Tong would never let this kind of thing happen, so he did not hesitate to sacrifice the black technology of the meteorological control center.

On the sea, the wind and the sun are beautiful, and there are no clouds.

Pu Ding Cha pondered in his mind where to stop the ship and which city to log in.

He was bent on digging a grave for the Qing Empire, but he didn't realize that he had reached the grave.

"Your Excellency the Supreme Executive, the wind is weak in the area, however, there are a lot of storms brewing around, which, when activated, can create storms in local areas.

"It's not enough!"

"I want thousands of ships to be spared, to hell with Pu Ding Cha and his men!"

Sure enough, Pu Ding Cha and his fleet encountered a storm that they had not encountered in a century, and they struggled hard in the wind and waves for a long, long time, but they still could not escape the end of total annihilation.

If you are lucky, you can also touch the low price of Guangzhou, and if you are unlucky, you will fall into the sea and feed the fish.

The first was the Opium War, which ended without a hitch.
