The second more

"Is withdrawing ten nautical miles a concession?" Xianfeng thought about it, took her hand, and said softly.

"Yes, to show their attitude. That's good, but I don't want the courtiers to get anything to chance. Qingyu smiled, thinking about her understanding of the British, her tough attitude yesterday gave them a signal that it was worth it to do it themselves before they saw the sincerity of others. Obviously, they didn't just do it for the sake of the Qing Dynasty.

"So, what do you think they're doing?"

"They're negotiating with other countries. If other countries don't send troops, they will have to reconsider sending troops. Qingyu explained.

"It looks like France is still hesitating." Xianfeng thought about Chery just now.

"Don't you see me in the afternoon?" Qingyu smiled, she had already sent a telegram to various countries about the evacuation of overseas Chinese, so everyone would understand her attitude. They are preparing for war, so they are not very afraid of war.

"Why don't you come?" Xianfeng understands what he means, if he comes, he is talking about the conditions, if he doesn't come, it is estimated that the other party is also preparing.

"You hear it, we have a lot of armor-piercing shells, the kind that can go through the iron sheets, which were smuggled in from Germany. They don't know, we smuggle a lot. Qingyu smiled and winked at Xianfeng.

"You know, every time I hear you ask people what the latest shells look like, I am terrified, just in the court, I am afraid that the ministers will be scared to death by you. Their gentle queen mother may be a war maniac. Xianfeng gave her a roll of the eyes, why do you like to fight so much?

"The point is that we will do it, so we have bought a lot, we have also dismantled a lot, maybe we don't have independent technology yet, but as for us can still copy, wait for us to copycat for another 20 years, maybe, we will be able to design and manufacture it ourselves." Qingyu gently shook Xianfeng's arm.

"So it's not that you don't want to fight, but you're a little scared, right?" Xianfeng looked at Qingyu.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this time we will fight to the end, even if we fight for ten years, we will continue to fight. Write an article and post it in the Central Daily, telling the people of the whole country that we may have to fight this battle. It's because you have to fight that you won't give up halfway. You will stay the course and not let the country lose the slightest. ”

"You write it, you write this thing better than me, I'll sign it when I get back." Xianfeng shook his head.

"Don't, you have to write, sometimes I write things in a small pattern, you will write thicker." Qingyu has to let Xianfeng write it herself, although Xianfeng will support her to fight to the end, but Xianfeng's temperament is still a little weaker. If the battle drags on, maybe one day he will blame himself in his heart?

"Got it!" Xianfeng shook his head lightly and looked at the sky, "Some people say that if my father firmly supported Lord Lin back then, maybe the result would not be like that later, what do you say?" ”

"No, I don't think so. In the previous naval battles of Lord Lin, we won seven battles and seven victories, saying that it was because of the flexible tactics and the fact that the sailors were not afraid of death. But as a result, our national strength cannot support that kind of protracted war. They are bombarded intensively at sea, and we can't really do anything. Over time, we were eventually defeated. Whoever will lead the battle, in fact, it is all like this. Of course, I'm not saying that peace with the Lord is good, but at that time, if you do it with the determination to die, the result is still death. At least we've accumulated a little bit now. ”

"If you persist, you may go back to the poor and white of the past." Xianfeng looked down at his wife.

"Yes, anyway, we were originally poor and white, these years, no taxes, in order to hide the wealth from the people, waiting for them to hit the people, needless to say, the people have to fight with them." Qingyu smiled.

"So we always knew that we would have a fight." Xianfeng sighed softly.

"Yes, it is precisely because I know that I can work so hard to delay a day, a day. Maybe that's what God means, if we have to fight, let's try it, maybe the ending will be different! Qingyu sighed softly.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here!" Xianfeng could feel her trembling.

"Yes, there are you!" Qingyu smiled, what she actually wanted to say was that it was useless for anyone now, she could only make a move by others, and she dismantled a move.

At lunchtime, he still called Chery and Li Hongzhang in, and asked Rong An to go back to accompany Concubine Li to eat. On the table, they still eat the same dishes as they usually eat on weekdays, but the only difference is that the rice has been changed to half corn grits and half rice made of gold and silver. Now that everyone has no appetite, Qingyu specially let people do it, no matter what the taste is, it is still very eye-catching.

"Eat first, and then talk about what you eat." Qingyu saw that Li Hongzhang was about to speak, waved her hand, and asked him to eat first.

"The soup is good, the mother makes people boil it in the morning." Xianfeng smiled lightly, took a small bowl and drank the soup from the bowl.

Chery picked up the bowl and took a big sip, the bowl was slightly hot, but it was just the entrance, slightly salty, nodded, and saw that there was nothing in the bowl, just a bowl of soup, "Yes, what kind of soup is this?" ”

"Who knows, what's in the kitchen anyway, what to do. I'm sorry, but we're the worst emperor and queen in history. ”

Qingyu asked Li Hongzhang to sandwich the dishes between them. This diet, I'm afraid it's very common among the people. It's not that I made it for Li Hongzhang to see, but I got used to it, and when I saw Li Hongzhang, I remembered that this meal was a bit ordinary. Suddenly an outsider came, and she felt a little embarrassed.

"Don't dare, don't dare! The frugality of the emperor and his mother should be admired by all the people. Li Hongzhang hurriedly got up.

"Hurry up and eat!" Chery gave him a roll of the eyes, picked up the rice mixed with corn grits, took a big bite of rice, picked up a chopstick and stir-fried it himself, served with rice, three or two bites, a small bowl of rice, and ate it like that.

"Didn't have breakfast?" Xianfeng frowned, this is also a nobleman, how can he eat like this. suddenly found that his Rong'an didn't learn badly from this person, right?

"Eat!" Chery took a big sip of soup, lowered his head and said, "Maybe it's too early!" ”

When Chery went out in the morning, he drank a bowl of soup and went out. I was busy all morning, and I ate a snack or two in the signing room, and now I have food and vegetables, and I am hungry all of a sudden.

"I see that you eat well, I am hungry." Xianfeng saw that he had filled another bowl of rice, and also smiled, and picked up the bowl himself and took a bite of rice, "Why do you think about using corn grits to add it, it tastes weird." ”

"It's good for the body, I heard that the poor people eat like this, and they are all in good health. Besides, aren't we going to be poor? Just share weal and woe with the people! "Qingyu thinks about it, there is still a small corn nest in the palace, which is very delicious. There are also in the cornmeal palace, but they haven't done it.
