As soon as the agreement came out, the news spread to the Old Summer Palace, and Qingyan in Kyushu was drinking and feasting with the concubines of the Sixth Palace to celebrate her forty-seven-year-old Empress Dowager Cixi Longyan Dayue. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Beihai belongs to me, the clouds are flying, Qingsheng Pingxi is thanks to the generals, in the past, Su Wu shepherded sheep, and today Shui Deze blesses my center!"

Immediately issued an order to establish Beihai Province, the provincial seat of governance in the original Ulan-Ude City, renamed "Wude", set up Erkou City, Nebuchu, Wude three places of the general military officer, Beihai Province governor under the control of the Minister of Uriya Sutai. So far, there is another province in the north of Mongolia, and Beihai, which has been separated from China for 400 years after the Yuan Dynasty, has returned.

After several years of new army construction, the military strength is comparable to the three generations of Kang Yongqian, and then there is a strong construction capacity, the official road from Kulun to Beihai is completed, which means that from Beijing to Beihai is unimpeded, and again, of course, it is a diplomatic crossing, taking advantage of the assassination of Tsar Alexander II of Russia and the political instability to annex such a large piece of land, and legalize and formalize him in the form of a treaty, which is definitely a great victory for diplomacy.

Guo Songtao entered the Dongge University and entered the cabinet, which is the nominal Zaifu, of course, in today's China, joining the direct military aircraft is the actual Zaifu, but Guo Songtao is still very satisfied.

Edward spent Christmas in China, but also the traditional Chinese Lunar New Year, the first day of the first month of the eighth year of Guangxu, the banquet was given to the Qianqing Palace, Edward also attended, on the second day of the first month, the envoys and their wives entered the palace to celebrate the Chinese New Year, and the Empress Dowager Cixi took Edward to hold a Western-style dance party in the Chonghua Palace.

The clouds and temples are beautiful, the chips are staggered, and the singing and dancing are leveled. It's a peaceful scene, the Empress Dowager Cixi knows where she is, and she didn't pay attention to the invitation to dance, but just sat on the side. Holding a glass of red wine and smiling at the lively scene, Prince Gong and other military ministers were also in the ball, talking with ambassadors and counselors of various countries, and the Empress Dowager Cixi saw a thin and tall yellow-skinned man wearing Western clothes, and knew that this person must be the Japanese ambassador. Seeing that his face was pale and his expression was a little sluggish, Cixi asked Li Lianying beside her, "Why is his face so ugly?" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother Lafayette, he is scared." Li Lianying replied with a smile, "On that day, Prime Minister Yamen and Germany announced the news of the purchase of three 7,000-ton ironclad ships again, and the Japanese ambassador was about to go to the British Embassy. I don't know if it's broken there," Li Lianying's voice was a little gloating, "It's been like this for the past few days." ”

"Then let's talk about the purchase of warships with the British, won't he be even more frightened?" Empress Dowager Cixi sneered, took a sip of red wine, stood up, she raised the crystal wine glass, knocked it with a silver spoon, the wine glass made a crisp sound, and everyone turned their heads one after another. Stop talking and look at the Empress Dowager Cixi.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today we invite ambassadors, gentlemen, and ladies from all countries to come to our palace to join us," the Empress Dowager Cixi gestured to Edward, who was wearing a red dress on the other side. "His Royal Highness Prince Edward's ball to celebrate the Chinese New Year."

Everyone applauded, and the Empress Dowager Cixi smiled and nodded, "Of course, my memory is very good, and I still remember the feeling when I had no contact with Western countries before. That is the lack of circulation, the lack of vitality, the lack of vitality, the Chinese philosophical people, who long ago spoke the language that flowing water does not stink......"

"As long as any change is beneficial to the country, then this change is worthy of affirmation, now the exchanges between China and the West have not only surpassed our dynasty, but also beyond the entire history of Chinese civilization, economic, cultural and religious exchanges are happening all the time, I am grateful for this era," Empress Dowager Cixi looked around at the envoys of various countries with different hair colors, "I am grateful to all of you who exist at this time, so that China can learn and absorb knowledge from you." Thank you, for the friendship between China and the West, we toast! ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi raised her glass and saluted everyone, "For the friendship between China and the West!" ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi took a sip of the wine in the glass and increased her forehead with her hand, "I'm sorry, I'm a little drunk, I'm talking nonsense, Eddie, I'm sorry," she shouted to Edward, "I should wish us long live the friendship between China and Britain in advance!" ”

Everyone laughed good-naturedly, so they toasted again, "For the friendship between China and Britain!" Everyone's faces were filled with festive smiles, but Prince Gong was a little sullen, looking at the dashing Empress Dowager Cixi in the crowd, dull and silent, I didn't know what to think, the French ambassador Albert and the Japanese ambassador Tanabe Taichi in the corner did not look very good, Albert was just a little depressed, and the Japanese ambassador Tanabe Taiichi was gloomy and tight, and there seemed to be a thick layer of ash between his eyebrows.

The Empress Dowager Cixi drank wine, "I am very grateful to all of you for coming to this ball today, I am here, I want to tell you two things, the first thing is that we have reached a memorandum with the British government, that is, we will order a 7,000-ton ironclad ship from the British within three years, and the caring British are willing to give us a very good price......

There was a crisp glass cracking sound in the corner, and the Empress Dowager Cixi heard the prestige, only to see the Japanese ambassador standing on the ground embarrassed, and Sula and the servants on the side hurriedly went over to clean up, and it seemed that the Japanese ambassador accidentally dropped the wine glass on the ground.

"God," the Empress Dowager Cixi ignored the matter and continued to laugh, "Eddie, I am very grateful to the United Kingdom, so if you wish, I will definitely bring your favorite lion's head over and cook this for you myself when I come to London again!" ”

Everyone laughed again and applauded, Edward smiled wryly and nodded, this woman was really good at joking.

"This is one thing, and there is another thing, that Britain, China, and Russia have reached an agreement," the power of this sentence is much greater than the previous business contract for the purchase of warships, the previous contract for the purchase of warships was probably only the concern of the Japanese, but the affairs decided by China, Britain and Russia, probably no country can resist, or any medium-sized country must be subject to the independent decisions of the three countries that may affect its own interests and cannot refuse. The envoys of the countries, who were originally disapproving, pricked up their ears and listened carefully to what news the Empress Dowager Cixi was going to release.
