Wang Kaiyun understood, "What does Xisheng mean to make a fuss about this matter?" β
"It's okay to make a fuss, but everything has to be prepared, and you can't do it overnight, understand?" Empress Dowager Cixi said, Wang Kaiyun said that he was retreating, and Empress Dowager Cixi asked Gao Xinkui again, "How is the military aircraft department these days." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"It's business as usual, and the king is still in charge of big things."
"Where is Vietnam? What does the King of Parliament say? The Empress Dowager Cixi flicked the sapphire armor on her hand and said idly, "I see that I have been in Vietnam for too long, and if I continue to preach benevolence, righteousness and morality every day, the king of Vietnam, the son of Da Nan, I am afraid that I will not be able to stand it." β
"He can't stand it, he has to bear it, this Hue change, if it weren't for Xisheng letting Chen Wending know about the conspiracy of the French first, he would have arranged for more than 100 elites of the Black Flag Army to lurk in the Hue royal city, waiting for the rabbit, otherwise at this time, I am afraid that Emperor Si De has already made a sword soul."
Gao Xinkui is talking about the coup d'Γ©tat that took place in the royal city of Hue a few days ago, a group of Vietnamese with muskets attacked the palace, trying to kill Prime Minister Nguyen Van Huang, who advocated being tough on France, and Emperor Duc, who broke the contract, Nguyen Van Huang, who got the news of Tran Van Dinh, had already sneaked out of the palace, leaving an empty cabinet for the traitors, and then took more than 100 elites of the Black Flag Army to enter the palace in turn King Qin, exterminate the traitors, other people are okay, Emperor Duc was scared like anything, furious, led by the original military department Shangshu to destroy the nine clans, The remnants of the rebels were executed.
Later, the whole city was Dasuo, and other firearms and muskets were found in the French trading houses, so that the French could not speak clearly, and Emperor Side took advantage of the anger aroused by the rebellion to block and confiscate all the French trading houses at once, and threw the French merchants into prison.
In this way, the French are not relenting, the French were originally cunning, they did not see a single white man at all when attacking the imperial city of Hue, they all let the Vietnamese go out on their own, although weapons were found from the trading houses, but this is not an indefensible reason, the reason for the attack of Emperor Duc was greater, the Southeast Asian troops of the French were ready to move, and the consul of Saigon threatened: "I want to go north to teach the Vietnamese monkeys who do not know whether they are alive or dead." β
Let's ask Emperor Dede, who stabbed such a big hornet's nest, how can a person who is afraid after calming down let go of China's thick thigh? Ege is only noisy and pedantic, but he will not interfere in the affairs of Vietnam, except for diplomatic representations, he only socializes with Vietnamese scholars, and with such a reliance, it is natural to hold it firmly.
"Then the French are naturally ready to teach the Vietnamese a lesson?" Empress Dowager Cixi said, "Where are they going to do it?" This is to ask Li Lianying, who has been silent on the side.
"It's about Beiqi."
"Beiqi? It is very likely," said the Empress Dowager Cixi, "Hue City is the capital in the end, and if it is rashly occupied, it is not retreated, and it is not occupied all the time, so it is still a shock to the mountain, and the North Quarter is occupied, one is to warn us, and the other is to let the Vietnamese face up to reality." β
"So what are we going to do?" Gao Xinkui asked, "The minister thinks that he still has to wait for a while, how about the negotiation of the king of the government." β
"It's to wait, the Vietnamese haven't reached the time to burn their eyebrows, as long as there is still a glimmer of hope, they will not give up, even if I help him now, it is just that there is a still disobedient and restless vassal, I have to wait until he is desperate to help him, so that the Vietnamese can remember it for a lifetime, let the French make trouble in Vietnam first, and the more chaotic the appointment," the Empress Dowager Cixi raised her eyebrows, "How is the Prime Minister Yamen disposed of?" β
"Because of the issue of the transfer of shares in the Suez Canal, it has not been negotiated for a long time, so the French also have the intention of using this coup d'Γ©tat to demonstrate against us, but the coup failed, the French became a joke, they were annoyed and angry, and there must be other actions, the king of parliament has already sent a note to the French ambassador Albert, wanting to discuss the issue of Vietnam first, but Albert refused, the French insisted on referring to the territory exchange practice between China and Russia on the North Sea and Kashmir, and first determine the ownership of the shares of the Suez Canal, Let's talk about Vietnam. β
"He thinks we're all stupid, right?" Empress Dowager Cixi said with a smile, "China is a country of etiquette, and it will not be treacherous, and others will not be sure." β
"If there are peace talks in Vietnam, the Suez Canal will inevitably make concessions." Gao Xinkui said, "What does Xisheng think? β
The Empress Dowager Cixi thought slightly, "Then take a step back, the purchase price of the shares is a little bit back, 500,000," a total of 20 million francs, and 500,000 concessions, this regression is really generous enough...... "The rest," the Empress Dowager Cixi waved her hand, showing regret, "I can't retreat anymore, these days, I am short of silver flowers, and the landlord's family has no surplus grain!" β
So the Empress Dowager Cixi issued an order to Guo Songtao to reduce the amount of the share transfer by 500,000 yuan to express her sincerity. A note was sent to express its protest.
Prince Gong glanced at the note a few times, threw it aside, and shook his head depressedly, "If the Suez Canal does not lower the real price, the French will not make concessions in Vietnam, so won't it be impossible to solve the Vietnamese matter forever?" The French are getting more and more domineering in Vietnam! β
"I'm afraid I can't give in here, Lord Wang," Bao Jun pinched his beard and thought, "I don't know about the matter, the expenses of the household department, everything has a routine, there is only one thing, and it will be spent in front of you soon, and the prince knows that it is a big deal?" β
"Eight Banners Reform."
"Ah! In the long run, this silver is more than a few warships," Bao Jun said excitedly, Prince Gong really didn't know what Bao Jun was excited for, and looked at the old man in front of him who was almost dancing, "But if you want to deal with it temporarily, the silver from selling the canal shares is really enough." β
"What do you mean by using the silver from the sale of Suez Canal shares for the Eight Banners reform?" Prince Gong said strangely, "The Queen Mother didn't say that. β
"The Queen Mother naturally didn't say it, but I have nowhere else to take out the money to do the Eight Banners," Bao Jun patted his stomach with a smile, "The Queen Mother wants to do the Eight Banners reform, we naturally support it, but there is no money, if I can sell this share, I will calculate, it will always be about two million, and this money will be used on the Eight Banners, then it will be enough for a few years." "That's right, Bao Jun is eyeing this money, and the head of the household is to open up sources and reduce expenditure, and spend the silver properly," Of course, this money is allocated by the inner treasury, but in the final analysis, Baqi is also a royal family affair, and it is not too much to take it out to take care of family affairs, right? β
