Eighty-six, the embarrassed man (4)
Prince Li said with a smile, "What's the matter, even you can't handle it?" As for what jokes are going to be made? ”
Yixuan said this matter carefully, Prince Li's face suddenly became bad, and the hand that was originally Youya Youzai holding the bowl and drinking tea also put down, "What did you say?" Didn't the British say before that they didn't help each other? Why did this good end change the hexagram? "Prince Li is not a fool, there must be a clue here, seeing that Zhang Jing, who brought two prime ministers from the yamen, knew that he had something to say, so he instructed Sula, "Go and invite everyone to come over."

Jingshou Erle and Bu and others arrived in a moment, and several people sat down in groups, talking about the British ambassador Wade's request on behalf of Britain to ask China to give up its suzerainty over Vietnam, Erle and Bu couldn't help but snort coldly, "These foreigners are really lenient enough!" If I talk about India in the future, I should also listen to the opinions of our Qing Dynasty, I don't know what the British ambassador will be when the time comes! ”
Jing Shou was a little puzzled and asked Yixuan, "Why did Britain and Germany suddenly speak for the French again?" "Everybody would think that France and Germany would not be together.
Yi Liang looked at the German stock Zhang Jing Zhang Cultivation, Zhang Cultivation nodded and said, "This matter is not difficult to understand, if you know the current situation in Europe, it is clear that since Germany defeated the French through the war, and ceded the land, and obtained reparations, although it has an advantage, but it is also very vigilant, day and night afraid that the French will rise and retaliate from Germany, so Germany's attitude has always been to encourage and indirectly support France's overseas expansion, including colonization in Africa, and wars in Southeast Asia, The German ambassador has personally told me that they will not support China in Southeast Asian affairs, and this is very important to be clear. ”
"Then why did you help them again this time? What did the French give? Erle and Bu said quickly, after following the Empress Dowager Cixi for a long time, he knew the virtues of foreigners, "What did the Germans get?" ”
Zhang Yuyu shook his head, "If you go back to Zhongtang, I don't know why this is the case, but if the Germans do this, either the French let something out, or the French will affect the interests of Germany in some places, so they will come out to support the Germans, and this is the case with Japan, BNP Paribas Far East Branch has just approved a loan of one million francs to Japan, so Japan has made some moves." This German statement, of course, is only a verbal statement, and we can grasp the relationship with Germany, and it will not have any impact because of this matter. ”
"If they do this, it will not affect the two countries, but only the actions in Vietnam," Erle and Buleng snorted, "In terms of diplomacy, you know better than me, the most important thing is the great righteousness, what this righteousness is, it is nothing more than the friendship formed by spending money, it seems that now that so much silver has been spent, this friendship is not very reliable!" ”
He was already very dissatisfied with the so-called "silver diplomacy", so much silver was scattered, if he stayed in the country, how many people in difficulty could be rescued? Today, when I got the opportunity, I naturally wanted to say a few more words, "The Germans sold so many warships, and they followed others to stab us so lightly? It really shouldn't! ”
This is a bit biased, and it is not that he didn't buy anything back after spending money, but he can't talk back to the Venerable One, so Zhang Yuyu just bowed his head and stopped talking, "Then what's going on here in the UK?" Prince Li asked Zhang Deshan, who stepped forward and said, "I don't know about the British embassy, but according to the current situation, the French must have made concessions in some places, so that the British can come out to support them, but this is by no means the most critical, according to my speculation, the prince of the county also agrees with my speculation," Zhang Deshan said, "The British are now jealous of us." ”
Prince Li raised his eyebrows, turned his head and looked at Jing Shou and Erle and Bu, the two of them looked at each other, "Where did this start?" ”
"This is inevitable," Zhang Deshan said calmly, "The rules of diplomacy set by Xisheng are to welcome the British and numb their hearts with money, in order to make progress in other aspects, and the current situation is basically to compete with France, using opium quotas and territorial division in Kashmir in exchange for the neutrality of the British in a series of actions against France in the future, from the current point of view, this point is to play its original role, otherwise if the North Vietnamese fleet has the port of Malacca can be used as a supply, Perhaps our victory in coastal defense will not be so smooth, but according to the reasoning of the Prime Minister Yamen, the only point of view that they can use to judge the French diplomatic action is. ”
"The rise and power of the Qing Dynasty affected the rule of the British in Asia and the world." "So the British repented, and he was not prepared for us to continue to guarantee superiority in Vietnam, and even approved of such a moral act by the French." ”
This explanation is also very correct, Prince Li twisted his beard and nodded, "That's right, but," he still hesitated, "The British will not be able to resist this view of the British for a while," he nodded at Yi Xuan and said, "Since the West Holy Lord has gone south, she will never only see a great victory in coastal defense, what her old man needs must be more victories, then Lang Sheng will never retreat, this is difficult." ”
What is so difficult, it is nothing more than the sentence "protect the domain"! The purpose of sending troops is very clear in the edict of declaration of war, that is, to protect the national glory of Vietnam, but now that it is okay, the Vietnamese themselves said that they should not live with China, and you are here to invade, please leave Beiqi with a mellow group, this is not a naked slap in the face or what? Not only do they need to be justified, but China also needs to be justified!
"Six-fronted, don't you have any ideas?" Prince Li is a person who lacks urgency, of course, this matter can be handed to the south of the line to ask the queen mother, but this matter is received by the prime minister's yamen, and the affairs in the north are all handled by the military aircraft department.
