The first update

The French are very sad, the surrounding Britain and Germany ignore them, Italy has warships, people follow to grab some broth to drink, that's okay, but really fight with them, it doesn't seem to be cost-effective. They thought of Japan, the smallest country closest to the Qing Dynasty, and had very poor relations with the Qing Dynasty. Military capabilities are also okay, just go talk about it.

However, when the Beiyang Navy Division fought the Korean pirates, the Fujian Navy Division also dispatched and began to severely crack down on the pirates off the south coast of the Yangtze River. And those pirates are not only Fujianese, but also Japanese ronin. The Fujian sailor is staring at the Japanese ronin to fight.

The Japanese government is still hard to say anything, because they are fighting pirates, and in the process of fighting, they also make various reports to the Japanese government. Let them have bitter words in their hearts, because most of the Korean pirates of the Beiyang Navy Division are also Japanese. The Japanese sailors wanted to come out and try it, but when they think about it, there seems to be no reason to send troops. There is also the fact that there are only two ends, and the head is not considered to be the tail.

The equipment strength of the Beiyang Naval Division has long surpassed that of the Japanese Naval Division. The Fujian Navy Division has never participated in international competitions, and everyone can only guess from the number of military purchases. You must know that the French ships can be sold much cheaper than the British, and Fujian's full set of French formations, in terms of money, they should be much larger than the Beiyang Naval Division in terms of quantity.

And they didn't come up with all their own systems to fight the pirates this time, they fought very methodically, sinking those dens one by one. At this time, the appearance of the sailors on both sides really made all countries re-understand the new China.

This is completely different from the Qing Dynasty before the First Opium War, when their sailors may have been really brave and not afraid of death, but they had no resources available at all, and it was a place that was completely derailed from the world. That is also to make the world think that this is a very delicious piece of fat, and it is a place where they can eat as much as they want.

This time, however, not only Japan and Russia, but also Britain and the United States, which have relented, are actually observing and assessing. What they thought about was that they had come from afar, and in the face of such two sailors, would they still be able to drive straight in as long as before?

But looking at it again, I thought that even if I sold them the best equipment, they would not succeed. And now it can be seen that they succeeded. Even if we work together to bring down the country now, what about the benefits? Can the price they pay and the benefits they will receive in the future be harmoniously reconciled?

The big powers are thinking, and there is no suspense about the refusal of the Japanese. After looking around, the French could only return to the negotiating table, and the result was obvious, according to the terms of Britain and the United States, the announcement was honestly signed, and the crisis of the Little Knife Society finally ended successfully after two months.

Xianfeng breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't expect things to come to this point and end in this form. In particular, why did you end up with Tsarist Russia and Japan? And what forced them to return to the negotiating table turned out to be the artillery fire of the sailors.

Over the years, Xianfeng has been desperately buying books and equipment for Qingyu, and looking for people from all over the world to run various martial arts halls, but he is actually not optimistic. When Qingyu did this, Xianfeng thought that dead horses should be used as live horse doctors, he was a politician, and he knew that these people were so happy to dump weapons and equipment into China, which in itself was an act of contempt for them. They even think that this is an act of flattery, a disguised search for protection.

In fact, the magnates also thought so, and the indemnity of 21 million silver dollars was to be paid off in four years. And in the past five years, Qingyu spent another 10 million taels of silver in domestic currency. A silver dollar is about 27 grams, and one in the late Qing Dynasty was about equal to half a tael of silver. Therefore, in the past five years, Qingyu is equivalent to giving the powers another indemnity of the "Treaty of Nanjing".

Everyone unanimously felt that it was not easy to say that it was a reparation, and it was not bad to use this way to establish good relations with other countries and let them stop calling. It's a kind of default!

And some antique courtiers also felt that this was a change of direction, but they felt that it was insulting to the national body, and one by one they criticized the queen for interfering in the government and buying some useless things with domestic currency.

Although Xianfeng can't say that these things are useless, he really doesn't know how useful they can be. But between his wife and the courtiers, he still stood firm, and asked them, is it the uselessness of warships, or the uselessness of civilian agricultural machinery?

If you think about it, it seems that it is really useless to buy so many warships and cannons, set up various equipment factories, and military factories. As for saying that agricultural equipment is more useful, these people still think that the Qing Dynasty is agriculture-oriented, and no one dares to say that it is useless to import these agricultural machinery.

As for saying that the money to buy machinery was bought by the imperial court on behalf of others, which is equivalent to using people's money to buy a good face for foreigners, they reasonably ignored it, and also felt that this was a mother fooling the people and businessmen, but they were not so opposed.

But aren't these people against it? Their point is why the queen mother came forward, which is not in line with the ancestral system. So, that's the post||Gong Ganzheng. Actually, it's the only thing they can come up with.

This time, there is no need for Xianfeng to reply, the people of the Li Fan Yuan said directly, people only believe in Niangniang, not to mention, Niangniang represents the national body, and people look at Niangniang's face, and the price is a little preferential. The queen of the family also specially gave gifts to the mother, can we replace this?

In fact, they don't mean that every time they negotiate, they bring an interpreter, but the interpreter is not as good as the queen said, and the response is fast. Can the queen quarrel with people, slap the table, and interpret? Talking about the price, their training over the years has not been in vain, they have all become knowledgeable people, at this time, the Li Fan Yuan has determined that the queen mother is their boss.

But it's useless to say it, the opponents are all old antiques, and they don't participate in the school of the Li Fan Academy, even if Xianfeng forces people to run classes in the Qianqing Palace, he will sit down and listen to the class. However, for these people, it is in vain to say that they have seen the change, and they are very clear that they are about to be eliminated, so they take the opportunity to desperately oppose it. It's really against for the sake of opposition. So it's okay to talk about it, which is annoying.

But sensitive people know that in this case, the queen's participation in court politics will slowly become a semi-public matter. Even if the opponents have nothing to make a fuss, but in foreign affairs, they slowly understand that no one is more suitable than the queen.

Every time Qingyu heard Xianfeng come in, and then look at those impeachment folds, she wanted to pick up Xianfeng and go out to kill those old men by herself. But she knew, no!

Even in the 21st century, I heard that there are still some places that are running women's Durban, and what nonsense is propaganda about women's lack of talent and virtue. And in the 21st century, there are still few female presidents. can only tell Xianfeng that she doesn't want to be Wu Zetian, and Xianfeng is not Li Zhi, so she is not angry.
