The Empress Dowager Cixi looked around, her fire diamond earrings sparkled under the light, as if there was really a fire burning, the Empress Dowager smiled slightly, quite smug, "Okay, I know the thoughts of the big guys, get up, don't kneel," the Empress Dowager Cixi walked back to her position and sat down, "The meaning of this palace is very clear, China has no intention of annexing vassals, today I have called for everyone to come, I have never met with so many lords of various countries, talking about the past; Second, to give everyone a steady mind, before the foreigners in the Nanyang were very powerful, but now it is different, Nanyang is the Nanyang of the Nanyang people, but also the Nanyang of China, it is not allowed, and Westerners are not allowed to show off their power here, the previous sailors did not succeed, so they can't help the big guys, since the lords of all countries are willing to listen to China's orders, then naturally, in the days to come, it will be up to China to help you. ”
Li Daoyuan quickly stood up, bowed and saluted, "Vietnam and China will always be a state of father and son, if there is a violation of the will of the Celestial Empire, it will be called five thunders to the top, and there will be no place to bury you!" ”
"Okay, okay, why do you have to say that? We are all a family," the Empress Dowager Cixi said with a smile, "Living a good life, harmony and beauty are better than anything else." ”
The Empress Dowager Cixi raised her glass and was about to toast, but at this time, the head of the guard entered the arena and knelt down, "Those who are monitoring the lord of Luzon have all been taken, and now they are being held outside, please ask the empress dowager's decree, how to send it!" ”
The Empress Dowager Cixi drank a glass of wine herself unhurriedly, "Shoot on the spot to set an example." ”
"Huh!"
Outside the Jingtian Palace, a row of "bang bang" gunshots suddenly sounded, making everyone's hearts tremble, many people's legs and stomachs were weak, the Empress Dowager Cixi was ignorant, ordered the eunuch to pour another glass of wine, and got up with a wine glass inlaid with red gold and rubies, her clothes fluttered in the night breeze, like a fairy concubine, "Lords of the country, there is an old saying, I will say it first today, that is,"
"The golden cup you drink together, and the white blades are not spared!"
"Come, drink this cup to the brim!"
Empress Dowager Cixi with Vietnam's great victory over Vietnam, in the Thang Long Province Assembly of the vassals, Enwei and use, surrender the vassals, undeclared war, first destroy Bushandao, and then attack Luzon, expelled the Spaniards, and protected Lanfang, strictly ordered the Dutch not to harass Lanfang and the Chinese, the Netherlands had to retreat to the south of Malacca, so far, all the Nanyang vassals have been submitted, no one dares to disobey, although Luzon Sulu and other countries have repeatedly wanted to be incorporated into China, the Empress Dowager Cixi just did not allow, "Since it is a state of father and son, there is no reason for the father to covet the property of the son's family." "The edict does not allow it, ordering all countries to live in harmony and communicate with each other, the defense of the South Seas is undertaken by China, the host country provides grain and grass, China will never interfere in the internal affairs of the countries, the Li Fan Yuan is only responsible for the diplomatic affairs of various countries, and the rest of the economy and politics do not interfere, this is good governance, there is no disobedience to the orders of the countries, there are Vietnamese Sulu and other pearls and jades in front, the vassal states also quickly and truly submitted to China, decades later, Nanyang is all the places where Chinese is spoken and Chinese is written, this is a later story, not for the time being.
In addition to Malacca, the rest of the Nanyang countries returned to the Qing Dynasty, which was the biggest result after the victory of the Sino-French War, and since then the two Guangzhou, Zhejiang and Fujian have really become undefended places, and the passage of the Nanyang has become impossible to cross the eyes of these vassal states and raid the southeast coast.
This thing is done, there is nothing important, the Empress Dowager Cixi left Thang Long Mansion on the second day, and returned Vietnam to Li Daoyuan, Li Daoyuan didn't know when he suddenly took a fancy to the concubine, and he came to ask to leave the concubine and give him as a concubine, this is a trivial matter, naturally there is no refusal, and the concubine is the concubine of the former dynasty, and today she is the concubine of the founding monarch of the Li Dynasty, which can be regarded as a kind of appeasement, but I don't know what Ruan Wenxiang thinks in his heart, the concubine is quite favored by Li Daoyuan, and within a few years, she gave birth to a descendant, Li Daoyuan was ecstatic, personally holding the baby boy into Beijing to see, and let his mother stay in Beijing to take care of him, since then, the sons of the Li Dynasty have lived in China, either in Beijing, or in Guilin Mansion, which has become a rule.
The Empress Dowager Cixi left Thang Long Mansion and went to Haiphong Port to pay tribute to the soldiers of the two oceans who died in the battle here, the scene was shocking, the accompanying Daqing Daily reporter said in the serial serialization of the military records in the newspaper, "The sky is clear and blue, the sea is white waves, the sea and the sky are the same color, the warships of the two oceans are honking their horns to pay tribute to the fallen soldiers, the tombstone has been erected in the port, the queen mother personally prays for incense, after the ceremony, suddenly the wind blows, the silk flowers fly, straight up to the nine skies, like a jade dragon flying into the sky, the heroic spirit is not far away, bless China, honest words!" ”
Immediately, the Empress Dowager Cixi was escorted by the two oceanic sailors, slowly went north, first arrived in Qinzhou, looked at Feng Zicai's former residence, and summoned Feng Zicai's wife, encouraged and thanked, and then went to Guangzhou, visited the Foshan Association, encouraged them to run the enterprise more prosperous, and happily inscribed, this time back to Beijing, it was all the way by boat, but the line was extremely slow, from Guangzhou to Meizhou, and then to Mawei Fuzhou and other places, and then suddenly turned to the east, suddenly to Penghu, and then to the east, close to Taiwan, although not landed, But along the west coast of Taiwan Island all the way north, and then to Wenzhou, Wenzhou has appeared here many family workshops, after the Empress Dowager Cixi inspected, made an important speech, and then continued to the north, Ningbo, Hangzhou, Shanghai, to Nanjing, along the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal to the north, along the way to the important towns have been visited, and later the imperial court compiled the speeches in these inspections into a book, called "Southern Tour of the Holy Record".
By the time the Empress Dowager Cixi arrived in Tongzhou, it was already autumn after the Double Ninth Festival, and there was already cold dew and frost in the north, and Guo Songtao, who was negotiating with the French in Guangzhou, came with good news, and after almost half a year of negotiations, China and France finally finalized the "Sino-French Treaty of Guangzhou", and the full text was submitted to the Imperial Sacred Reading.
This treaty is a serious treaty after the war, of course, it is a serious treaty after the victory, if you talk about the meaning, it is almost the same as the "Jiangning Treaty" signed by Emperor Xuanzong before, but this year is different from the past, the trend of victory and defeat is reversed, and it is the turn of China to raise eyebrows.
