86. The Embarrassed Man (2)

Now he has taken half of Prince Gong's errands, in charge of the Prime Minister's Yamen, how heavy is the authority here, if you want to compare with the position of later generations, the Prime Minister Yamen is equal to the Secretary of State of the US imperialism, foreign trade and foreign tariffs and even a part of the overseas military dispatch are all decided by the Prime Minister's Yamen, so the position of the Prime Minister Yamen is equivalent to the Minister of Military Aircraft, and the authority is far beyond the ordinary Minister of Military Aircraft. Now it's Yixiao's turn, so Yixuan is very satisfied, very satisfied with this position, and at this position, whether he needs to join the military aircraft or not, he doesn't care so much.

The Ministry of Communications is sending a tender document for the purchase of a new type of internal combustion engine, so that countries can take a look at it, and the right one to submit a letter, generally speaking, they use more British machinery and equipment, their machines are very advanced, although they will only sell some equipment that is not the latest, but in China, it is enough, not to mention that the businessmen of Manchester's train industry giant "Three Musketeers" have already offered their filial piety, and they should be given to the British.

It's just a while, Sulla came to tell me, saying that it was the British ambassador who asked to meet, and it was a dream for ordinary country envoys to meet the Chinese secretary of state without making an appointment, but the British ambassador was different from the envoys of the countries next to him, and there were also three or five or nine between countries, and of course the big and strong countries and the small and weak countries could not be generalized, and now only the United Kingdom, Germany and Austria could directly say the power to ask for Yi Li, and when he heard Ambassador Wade coming, Yi Liang nodded and said, "Please come in, ambassador." ”

Wade Shi Ran walked in with a bowler hat, Yixuan was also very polite, stood up, and bowed his hand to Wade, "Mr. Ambassador rarely comes to me, it's really a rare guest, please sit down, serve tea, no," Yixuan hurriedly said, "It should be coffee for Mr. Ambassador." ”

"Thank you, Prime Minister," Yiliang stretched out his hand to ask Wade to sit down, Yixuan was not arrogant, walked down from the main seat, and the two of them sat on the side, of course, Wade still talked a lot of nonsense first, what weather, what amusement, what interesting things about Sino-British business, said a lot, Yiliang knew the character of the British, so he was also very patient to wait for Wade to get to the point, after a while, Wade finally explained his intentions, "May I ask Your Excellency, have you heard the latest news from Vietnam?" ”

"There's a lot of news in Vietnam, but I don't know what Mr. Ambassador is talking about." Yi Xuan said with a smile, "There is no empty day in Vietnam these days." ”

"I'm referring to the new accession to the throne of the king of Vietnam."

"Oh?" Yixuan was slightly stunned, Wade analyzed from his expression, obviously didn't know about this matter yet, but this was a diplomatic occasion, and anyone's expression was not enough to conclude whether he knew about it, "I don't know about this yet," Yixuan shook his head and raised his voice, "Someone," a Sula came in outside and listened to the order, "Go to the Lifan Yuan and the French stock to see if there is any new king of Vietnam on the throne!" ”

Sula retreated, and said to Wade, "It's not a strange thing that the lord of Vietnam has changed over the years," he actually knew about it for a long time, but he didn't know why Wade came here because of this, so he asked Sula to make a dozen interruptions and sort out his thoughts, he is not a person who is in a hurry, so he needs time to think, "But I don't know what happened this time that can alarm you, Mr. Ambassador?" ”

Sometimes whoever speaks can reflect whose position he stands on, Wade nodded slightly, "Yes, this time is different from before, I must tell the Prime Minister one thing, that is, Vietnam has declared its withdrawal from China's dependencies, turned to France, and has signed a merger agreement with France." ”

"What!" Yixuan screamed exaggeratedly, "This is absolutely unacceptable!" "Today's wind direction, who still can't see clearly, that is, the real blind, the underground people have long been instigated by the newspaper, Peking Opera, public opinion, etc., incomparably excited, every inch of land will fight, all countries come to the court, this is originally China's majesty to see, not to mention that there are also many horizontal comparisons, indicating that when Xuanzong Wenzong, the tributary of the vassal was how much no one in the eyes, and the number of times it came, since Emperor Yingzong surrendered, the vassal came to Beijing, no one dared to be humble and obedient, so that the pride of the people made all countries submit, any big country has such a mind, Unabashedly, this is the human heart.

The other is the heart, the Empress Dowager Cixi for so many years, she doesn't care much about the vassal countries, but she has always attached great importance to it, and will never allow any vassal country to hook up with foreigners on the surface, such as the country in Kashmir, Yixuan can't remember clearly, and he actually dared to make trouble with Agu Bai, hugging the grass and beating the rabbit, and by the way, he was killed, China, Britain and Russia divided their lands, and the lord of Kokand did not take out the land to honor the Western Mongolian tribes, and did not expect the army to help him restore the country, because he had a criminal record, as for the generations of submissiveness similar to Sulu and Ryukyu, Naturally it can't be said, it has always been preferential, Sulu Khan hereditary "Prince Yi", this is a great honor, into the court, only need to kneel to worship the emperor, and the rest of the vassal states, just the title of the county king, that is, enjoy the treatment of the county king, if the shift to meet, Sulu will be in the first place, obedient to the sugar to eat, disobedient to eat the slap, and this slap will definitely hurt to the pain, Vietnam has such behavior, and then will definitely receive the most severe punishment, there is no doubt about it, Everyone thinks that they should be lenient and generous to the vassal states, but I'm sorry, but this is not the style of Galeries Lafayette today. If you don't have any political consciousness at all, you can't work and go home as soon as possible to retire.

"Although the relationship between the clan and the vassal is not under the control of the prime minister's yamen, but I know a little, this matter, not a country in Vietnam has the final say, according to the Guangxu three years promulgated and issued the "Qing Dynasty Sect Domain Regulations" clearly stated, the status of the vassal state, need to first seek the approval of China, and then China issued a will, announcing its separation from the vassal, and then he can do as he likes, there is no such way, so that everyone can do the same," Yi Xuan spread his hands, "How will we manage these vassal states in the future?" Your country has many colonies in the world, and in my humble opinion, it is not far from the will of our vassal states, and there is absolutely no reason for the people of the vassal states to be self-determined. ”
