"This is also the situation of Tongzhi for seven or eight years, this first article is that the king of Sulu is loyal to the ****, and he knows the importance of everything, which is a benchmark. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info The second article is that the Beiyang Naval Division is beginning to take shape, and it can be worthy of a war, and after that, it is the same way to beat Japan. At that time, we took advantage of the French, and we only regarded it as invisible, but now that the situation is different, the handling of foreign countries is naturally different, you can watch it," Qinghai sneered slightly, he seemed to understand why he was still keeping it secret from the outside at this time, "Hehe, now someone is going to be unlucky, Yunxian, you say that now, who dares to say that Vietnam will be left alone?" ”

Guo Songtao nodded, "Yes, now it can be said that the people of the country are arrogant." ”

Since the beginning of the Tongzhi period, the internal rebellion has been quelled, the territory has been expanded externally, the Sulu and Ryukyu have been stabilized, the restoration of Kokand has been helped, the purchase of Jinzhou, and the capture of the North Sea. After the Battle of the North Sea, the territory was opened up through war for the first time, which greatly catalyzed the self-confidence of the people.

"Since the first year of Guangxu, the battle of Beihai has not stopped, large and small conflicts, has been going on, gradually encroaching, Beihai has almost been included, although Tsarist Russia has now declined, but I have been in Europe for a long time, I know that he is known as the European military police, oh, the military police, is our police, everything has to be managed. The Emperor of France, the emperor of Europe, Napoleon I, was defeated in the hands of Tsarist Russia, although we won the Russian hand in the land of the North Sea, the reason is that it is difficult for Russia to take care of both things and things, and the East cannot deploy heavy troops, so as to say that in Central Asia, the three khanates of Central Asia, except for Kokand relying on Xinjiang is still prosperous, the remaining two khanates, but only their respective royal cities are still in their own hands. It can be seen that Russia's desire for Central Asia far exceeds that of the North Sea. ”

"But we can't say that," Qinghai took a sip of tea, "What about those Qingliu imperial historians pouring cold water on everything?" We don't need to say anything more. ”

"Needless to say, but we can't ignore the power here," Guo Songtao said worriedly, "Westerners, we still can't be underestimated, we are still far from them!" ”

"But we can't show the meaning of being weak to the outside world," Qinghai said quickly, "You also said it, now it is the pride of the people of the country, and it is not allowed to be too lenient to the outside world, and whoever is too lenient to the outside world is a traitor, if you say that in the past, no one dared to squeak when the British and French invaded Dagukou, but now it is good, everyone is shouting and shouting and killing, you and I just need to say that, follow the French with Vietnam, tomorrow those students of Tongwen Hall and Jingshi University Hall will dare to block the door of our mansion and scold, Vietnam, but it is still our vassal!" ”

Guo Songtao smiled bitterly, "There has been a war in the north, is it possible, and there will be a war with the French next?" ”

"That's not what we care about," Qinghai waved his hand, "I'm going to get a list of the canonization of the Turks and Mobei Mongolia, I don't want to care about other things, besides, I'm not an errand boy in the Military Aircraft Department, what do I care about?" Qinghai had some complaints, the old Empress Dowager simply pulled him into the military plane, but was blocked out of Feiyunxuan by Prince Gong on the grounds of "insufficient qualifications and no supervision", at this time he was still indignant, "It seems that it can only be a waste of your tongue, Yunxian, what do you think the French want to do?" Is it really the land of Vietnam? Or something else? ”

"I want to kill two birds with one stone," Guo Songtao stood up, "I still have to take a look at the contact with the French, understand their intentions and then make a decision, you sit in peace, I will go and sign the documents to the French ambassador and then come and talk to you." ”

…

Hearing Gao Xinkui shouting out, Li Lianying immediately stopped talking, just stood silently with her hands down, and the Empress Dowager Cixi took a sip of tea and praised: "It's so sweet." ”

Gao Xin calmed down and said, "This is absolutely not feasible, the French are fools' dreams." ”

"He's not a fool's dream," Wang Kaiyun said, "The French can take Vietnam, as long as we don't do it," Wang Kaiyun looked at the Empress Dowager Cixi, "I'm afraid the Vietnamese won't be able to resist it for ten days." ”

"The French probably wouldn't have invaded Hue, because the Vietnamese were docile and docile like sheep." Empress Dowager Cixi sighed, "I don't know where the courage to resist the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty went at that time." She put down the teacup and handed it to Li Lianying, who stood like this with the teacup, "What is the reaction of the Vietnamese?" ”

"I've almost agreed, just wait for the king of Vietnam to use the seal." Li Lian Anh replied, "The King of Vietnam is still a little hesitant. ”

Why did he hesitate? It's nothing more than knowing that there are big powers on his side, and now it's not up to him to have the final say on such major matters. Wang Kaiyun said, "Vietnam's current Nguyen Dynasty ancestor Nguyen Phuc Anh was very much helped by the French when he won the country, not only sent envoys to France for help, but also recruited French officers, bought French firearms, as a foundation for the country, his original early death of the prince of the Dong Palace is a staunch Catholic, but died young, passed on to his fifth son Nguyen Phuc Thanh, the Nguyen Dynasty called the Holy Ancestor." ”

"What kind of tablet on the characters, dare to call the temple number Holy Ancestor," the Empress Dowager Cixi snorted coldly, "These small countries, the arrogance is too much, what a high emperor, what a ancestor, in the future, the temple number of these vassal countries must be checked by the Li Fan Yuan, so as not to be lawless, big and small, Ruan Shengzu, hum, aren't you afraid that our Qing Holy Ancestor Kangxi will go to him for trouble?" ”

Gao Xinkui smiled bitterly, Wang Kaiyun continued quietly, "When Ruan Phuc Anh was alive, he was quite wary of the Western powers, especially the French, but he was still vain and wronged, and did not dare to offend, and when he died, he reminded Nguyen Phuc Dang that he should pay attention to protecting the Catholics in the country, and even more importantly, safeguard the rights of the French, but not be hostile to the French, and do not cede territory to the French. ”

"Needless to say, this Emperor Shengzu of the Nguyen Dynasty must have violated these two items, was hostile to the French, and ceded territory to the French," Empress Dowager Cixi said with a smile, "Hasn't Vietnam's southern territory been ceded to the French?" (To be continued.) )
