"But today's world, it is by no means a blind tolerance can endure the past, after the Opium War of the Xuanzong Dynasty, we have endured it for many years, how about the foreigners, the sixth master, you can see it clearly, Li Hongzao They said that foreigners do not know the slightest bit of education, it is not wrong, they only have money, interests and land in their eyes, as long as there is money to make, they dare to do anything bold, declare war on us, at first it was nothing more than the opium merchants instigated, but later the British saw through our paper tiger bluff, Even the Queen of England jumped out and personally delivered a speech to pass the war, the foreigners have no order to restrain them, order is such a thing, it can only restrain small and weak countries, for the great powers, it is just a piece of paper! ”

"Today's situation is comparable to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Spring and Autumn Period was an unrighteous war, and it is true that the strong man is the hegemon, which is something that no one can deny," the Empress Dowager Cixi said fiercely, "If there is still someone who can uphold justice in it, I will never say that I want to turn against the French, as long as I maintain the authority of China, as you said the sixth master, even if you throw all the Vietnam out and let France be fed, at least the war will not burn to the country."

"But is this France fed?" The Empress Dowager Cixi continued, "They are thinking about fighting for a place in the world, they lost to Germany in Europe, and they are about to find a soft persimmon to pinch to avenge their grievances in Europe, if Vietnam is not close at hand, I will never want to conflict with the French, however, the land of Vietnam is really a barrier for the two Guangzhou, this point, you will not know the sixth master." ”

"Besides, I also have self-knowledge, more than 20 years of foreign affairs, it can be regarded as a little achievement, the new army sailors are not bad, but if it is the British to provoke today, I will definitely grit my teeth and swallow blood, which is also the reason why I grovel in London regardless of the system, the British claim that the sun never sets on the empire, and now the Qing Dynasty, if you want to avenge the past revenge, it is far from being able to!"

Prince Gong wanted to speak several times, but was blocked by the Empress Dowager Cixi's voice, "But what is France?" He is a European power, but not as strong as Britain, and far less than Germany, and if you compare it with Russia, his navy is stronger than Russia's, but if that's it, do you have to blindly tolerate it? France is looking for soft persimmon pinching, but why don't we find soft persimmon pinching? I have good friends with Germany and Austria-Hungary, and now I have negotiated a contract with Russia, so it happens that the northern Xinjiang is unharmed, so naturally I can have this opportunity to pass through the South Seas and preserve Vietnam, so that the French will not be able to control Vietnam, and naturally they will not be able to gain a foothold in the Indochina Peninsula, and they will naturally slowly withdraw from the Indochina Peninsula, so that the South China Sea is unharmed, Southeast Asia is unharmed, and all vassal states can naturally be preserved. ”

"It is not easy to preserve the vassal state," Prince Gong replied, "and just look at Vietnam, the vassal state is a great burden to China!" ”

"That's a tribute, we naturally lose a lot, and Vietnam is indeed a white-eyed wolf that can't be raised, two sides and three knives, see the wind and rudder, I'm afraid that they learned from us ten out of ten, but don't worry, we did not care about them before, this is our own care, the second is that the vassal country has always let him fend for himself, but now it is different, as long as we maintain the same countermeasures as Sulu, I am afraid that after a few years, they want to throw their arms on the foreigners, but I am afraid that they are powerless, Sixth master, you have also seen that the coal and iron needs of the Foshan Guild are all looking for Vietnam, what does this mean? The needs of the country depend on the vassal states, all because Vietnam is closer to Foshan than the mines in the north, so what else? Not to mention anything else, the three khans of Kokand have oil, of course, of course, "Empress Dowager Cixi was very excited at this time, and even said that oil, for the current era, oil is not a necessity for industrialization, "we don't need that in front of us, the southern domains, mines, grain, wood, these can be used for national purposes," Empress Dowager Cixi's words were slightly ruthless, "Horizontally and vertically gave the foreigners blood sucking, it is better to give it to China, in the end, we still talk about some face, so as not to take care of the appearance at all, This is a good thing for the vassals, for Vietnam, and for China. ”

"The only thing I think is not a good thing is the French," the Empress Dowager Cixi knows what is going on, and she is going to fight with the French anyway, why not take advantage of the preemptive strike now? It's not that there is no excuse to go to war in the south, "Sixth Master, you know me, you will never say unreliable words, this battle with the French is definitely going to be fought, so we must be prepared." "To a certain extent, it was about the preparation for war with the French, and the Empress Dowager Cixi started early.

"There is a way to avoid fighting," Prince Gong said indifferently, his eyes looked away, and the Empress Dowager Cixi looked at Prince Gong, "What way?" ”

"Let Vietnam out," Prince Gong said, "and we will leave the north of the Red River to the Vietnamese, which is enough to give a full **** gift." ”

"And what if the French have to take an inch?" The Empress Dowager Cixi was silent for a while, "If you have Longwang Shu, you have Vietnam and you want Liangguang, what should I do at that time?" ”

"The French don't have this ability," said Prince Gong, "although their appetite is great, but they can't digest it for a while, how many years did it take for Nanqi to start to get involved in Beiqi?" Such a large piece of meat in Beiqi was thrown to the French, and it would take them one or two decades to take good care of the land of Beiqi, and at this time, how could it be our turn to properly handle the affairs of the country," Prince Gong was doing a delaying strategy, "Wouldn't it be excellent to declare war on the French and regain the land of Vietnam when the time comes?" ”

Empress Dowager Cixi shook her head, "This is a plan to put out the fire with a salary, the salary is not exhausted, the fire is not extinguished, if the French have the heart of the heavenly dog swallowing the moon, there may not be peace in Liangguang," this is very unceremonious to say it directly, Prince Gong's face stiffened, "Besides, time is too late, this matter is coming out one by one, in the past twenty years, how can you guarantee that there will be no other major events?" Guarantee that no other country will covet the land of China again? If you tolerate the French, I am afraid that the land of the North Sea dug up in the mouth of Russia will definitely not be able to be saved, and others will look down on it if it softens once. Because they clearly understand that if they retreat once, those enemies of Russia will rush to the top, knock the weak Russia into the dust, and no longer continue to maintain the status of a great power.
