XXXV. Ferry Crossing (End)
"What a guts!" The Queen Mother suddenly became angry, and a little palace maid holding a purple gold spittoon on the side was caught off guard, and was so frightened that she couldn't hold the spittoon in the hand of the spirit, and almost fell to the ground, and hurriedly held it, seeing that the Queen Mother didn't notice herself, she secretly breathed a long sigh of relief silently. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"The Queen Mother is angry."
"How can this be reasonable, how can this be reasonable," the Queen Mother trembled angrily, and her eyes widened angrily at the figures of the military aircraft ministers who were shadowy outside the gauze curtain, she didn't expect that she wanted to develop the cause of the Chinese Navy as soon as possible, this debut work, was such a failure! "Is this Li Thailand playing China as a monkey? Bully me, no one cares about China? It's really presumptuous! ”
"The Queen Mother, please calm her anger," Prince Gong stood up and bent down to try to calm the Queen Mother's anger, "Prime Minister Yamen has sent a note to the ambassadors of Britain, France and the United States to try to calm down the matter. ”
"Appeased? Hmph, that's all there is to it. "The Queen Mother is helpless, her brain hurts suddenly, but her heart is still very sober," what did the British ambassador say? ”
"The British ambassador said it was not clear at this time, and that he needed to get in touch with Li Tai and the United Kingdom before he could tell China what he meant."
"Oh? Then continue to contact, the Tianjin peace talks, as well as the Beijing peace talks, the palace also said that it is necessary to divide and rule the foreigners, and discuss the king, do you still remember this section? ”
Prince Gong was convinced for a while, and seemed to have an understanding, "What does the Queen Mother mean?" ”
"What the foreigners give us must be an eliminated fleet, this is taken for granted, but it doesn't matter, we spend money to buy peace, and there will be no major wars in the past few years," the so-called Tongguang Zhongxing, the return of the Qing Dynasty, was established in the case of more than 20 years without war with foreign enemies, "The French are not fools, let's buy their backward warships with real money and help them renew, they only have the reason to be willing." The Queen Mother said meaningfully.
"Yes, the minister will contact the French ambassador and ask him if he wants to advance and retreat with the British." Prince Gong was overjoyed.
Wen Xiang continued to follow the Empress Dowager and Prince Gong's train of thought, "The question is one point, we can also propose that if the British insist on defaulting in the future, the Qing Dynasty will hand over the purchase of 10 million taels of warships per year to France." ”
"In this way, it is no wonder that the French are unhappy." The Queen Mother nodded, "You must know that although the British warships are more powerful than the French, if the British refuse to sell them, then they can only change shops." Just let out the rumors, not afraid that the British will not take the bait," the Queen Mother issued an order, "Prime Minister Yamen and the Russian ambassador to discuss the affairs of treaty ports in the northwest and northeast. ”
"This?" Everyone looked at each other, why did they suddenly mention that the Russians were coming?
"And to contact the Russians, about the training of naval personnel and the purchase of warships, this time I have to give the Russians sweetness, open commercial ports, except for various places and indemnities, anything can be discussed, Russia is not Orthodox? Missionary work is also acceptable. Everyone must know that a hammer deal is not possible, this is the king of parliament before signing the purchase of warships, set the rule of re-signing once a year, if the British can't do it, then next year there will be no share of him! Don't think of foreigners as a monolith, think that back then, when Beijing negotiated peace, didn't Britain, France and the United States also squeeze out the Russians? "The Queen Mother taught the thick black science of international relations," you must know that today's trend is comparable to the Spring and Autumn Period, the great powers compete for hegemony in the world, don't think that Britain and France are sharing weal and woe, you must know that the British are continuously stepping on the navies of the Netherlands, Spain, and France, and have become the world hegemon, but their faces and hearts do not match. Don't underestimate the enemy, don't belittle yourself, you know, in the East, we are a first-class power, far away from them, this is the best advantage! ”
"Kneel down and stay, the king of parliament."
After the ministers of military aircraft withdrew from the Dongnuan Pavilion, Prince Gong turned his head and looked at the people behind him out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, raised his head, crossed the curtain, and saw the Empress Dowager Cixi holding her forehead with her hand, "Niangniang, although the state affairs are complicated, Niangniang still has to take care of the phoenix body." ”
"Thank you for your concern, please sit down and celebrate the tea." Empress Dowager Cixi waved her hand.
"Please forgive the Queen Mother," Prince Gong showed embarrassment on his face, "I was a little anxious and asked Li Taitai to talk to the British on behalf of the Prime Minister Yamen, but I don't know, I forgot that Li Taitai has a different heart, and now the situation is so passive." ”
"I can't blame you, Sixth Master, this palace also agreed to this matter, but I didn't expect it, after all, the matter of foreign affairs is the first time in the world, none of us have any experience, and it is normal to fall into the hands of foreigners, if this matter is not appropriate, the money cannot be returned, and I have to eat Coptis chinensis dumbly, and my heart is bitter, so I should spend money to buy lessons, eat a trench and grow wise." The Queen Mother comforted Prince Gong, and then said with a straight face, "Li Taitai is arrogant, and the customs will change people!" (To be continued.) )
