Chapter 101: Front Desk
The first update,
"Then let Chery and them work harder, I heard that they haven't done anything else recently, just making cannonballs." Qingyu smiled, and when Chery said that the other party only had 2,000 shells, he said that he was only afraid that he had prepared 20,000 shells.
But also, over the years, more than half of their income has been used to weapons and build factories. Over the years, they have bought and made their own, and it should not be difficult to have 20,000 shells.
"Do we have a million troops?"
"Of course! But can we train so many troops? Xianfeng felt that Qingyu was simply telling a joke, over the years, they had spent a lot of money, not to mention anything else, he personally trained it in Jingying. I used to do all kinds of formations, but now they have more bullets and guns, and they have trained and spared no effort, but if they are really used, it should be serious.
"Of course, that's our last resort." Qingyu smiled, water masters have been established in various places, and there are also water masters' martial arts halls, the time is still too short, now that I think about it, it seems to be impulsive again. However, as long as they dare to go ashore, they can be dragged back.
It's funny to think about it, if the armies of these countries have been trapped here and can't go back, maybe their countries will really go crazy, right?
These soldiers are not here for the honor of the country, they are all here for a lifelong annuity. With an annuity, you can marry a wife and live a comfortable life. But will they fight hard for the sake of annuities?
Qingyu thinks it's funny when she thinks about it, the so-called heroic navy, and then what? If those warships were to catch fire and sink, would they still think they were invincible?
The couple just talked and fell asleep slowly. The second day was not the rising sun, so Xianfeng deliberately accompanied Qingyu to eat breakfast slowly before going out. Qingyu thought about it, but changed her clothes and went out with her.
Xianfeng didn't stop it, it's better to be more annoying if something comes to make it more annoying, the two of them sit down, the ministers of the imperial front and the ministers of military aircraft can only kneel down and kowtow honestly, and they will now be normalized.
First of all, the ministries replied to the things arranged the day before, and what step was done today, and when these things were finished, Chery was also listed, and the British ambassador did not reply now, but the British warship retreated ten nautical miles. At this time, Russia and Japan are exactly what Qingyu thinks, they seem to be scheduling frequently, and they are obviously more excited. Thinking right, the French warships, and no more action. Of course, in the past two days, the telegraph machines in Britain and France have been very busy.
"Can you translate their messages?" Qingyu's eyes flashed, and she immediately asked.
"This, people are not stupid, it is not so easy, however, it has been collected and is being studied." Chery lowered his eyes and said calmly.
"Your Majesty, this time the British retreated ten miles, which is a great joy. Thinking about yesterday's Niangniang's words, it still had some effect, and the slave saw ...... "A certain minister jumped out, he felt that he was the same as Qingyu, he was the master and the faction. said it like a river, Qingyu could understand it, but she didn't want to hear it.
"Who is this?" Qingyu looked at Xianfeng.
"Hao Junfeng!"
"And he calls himself a minion?" Qingyu's face was dark, those who claimed to be slaves were all Manchen, and those who claimed to be ministers were all Hanchen. This is a very strict dividing line, and she also relied on this to distinguish the Manchu Han, and now it's okay, there is an unruly one.
"Well, that's not the point." Xianfeng thought about it for a while, and it seemed that it was not easy to scold, so he could only appease his wife. However, whether it is Manchu or Han below, the expressions on his faces are actually quite exciting.
"Also, okay, now the point is not whether we want to fight or want to peace. They retreated ten nautical miles, not a truce, in my opinion, it was for a better war. How far do they range? Qingyu looked at Chery.
"Guangdong Pass is within range." Chery touched her nose slightly, and sure enough, she was a lady who cared about the military, and she had to ask about the range when she bought a gun, and then spent a lot of money, and she always had to buy the latest and greatest. Fortunately, the smuggling channel has not been closed, so their current domestic strength is not the same as the imagination of other countries.
"Did the penetrating bombs I bought last time fit the warship? We're going to sink their ship in the first place, and then send people to get them. We are a country of gentlemen, and when we see others falling into the sea, when we can save them, we should save them. ”
Qingyu smiled, she remembered reading in the book, before the First Opium War, the naval battle of Qingying was seven battles and seven victories. After more than 20 years, they haven't changed, but the money is hundreds of times that of the past, she doesn't believe it, is it possible that with comparable weapons, coupled with the previous tactics, it is difficult to achieve it and not win a game.
"But ......" that Hao Junfeng obviously read the Di newspaper and saw that the mother was the main peace, and her point of view was not to fight. Why is she more of a fighter than anyone else?
"No, but, now you have to know that we can't be weak right now. Another 20 million taels of silver is nothing, and now the country's environment is very good, and it can be done with two or three years of hard work. But we can't do that, we can't do nothing and let them get what they want. ”
"Respect the will of the mother." Chery took the lead, bowing and shouting.
"Your Majesty, will you listen to politics together in the future?" A certain prince saw that it was okay and said.
Qingyu was about to say something, but was held down by Xianfeng.
"Yes, but I'm not Li Zhi, and she doesn't plan to be Wu Zetian, so you don't have to think about it so much, and my mother's decision in the future will be my decision. Don't be too surprised, if you want to go to the Crying Temple, go now, just leave the top ribbon flower feather. Xianfeng said very indifferently, but his attitude was very resolute.
Qingyu looked around, sighed lightly, and smirked, "Don't worry, what Wu Zetian wants is the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and the current Qing Dynasty, I don't bother to ask for it." We can now reunite this poop, which is a great merit. ”
"Strange things again!" Xianfeng patted her, "Okay, Rong An is going to have a snack, let's go!" ”
Qingyu smiled and stretched out her hand to Xianfeng, and got up and left with him.
Everyone looked at the emperor and queen as if there was no one around, and everyone knew that no matter who stopped it, it seemed impossible. Watching them go away, Hao Junfeng looked at Chery, "Qi Zhongtang!" ”
"What, if you want to impeach the emperor or the mother?" Chery looked at them and glanced around, "The emperor has a good temperament, but look at whom, if it is the mother's business, even if it is the Nine Clans, the official will not be surprised." ”
Everyone is in awe, although Niangniang has not stood on the court like she is now in these years, but she is everywhere. So, at this time, she just went from behind the scenes to the foreground. Thinking about it from yesterday to today, Niangniang is obviously not the master who doesn't know the government, so everyone looked at each other and shut up.
