Emperor Guangxu frowned slightly, feeling that when he was happy now, urgent telegrams would always come to cause trouble, and in terms of political affairs, the more sudden things were, the less good things were, and this truth could also be used in foreign affairs, such sudden situations have always been a disappointment, but the Empress Dowager Cixi had long been used to it, she didn't know how many times she was woken up in the dark night, and she didn't know how many times she received such an urgent document, so she didn't care, just took the telegram and opened it. A satisfied smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It seems to be good news, Concubine Li and the others secretly exhaled, and then continued to watch the play intently, the Queen Mother nodded to Emperor Guangxu, "Emperor, it's not a big deal, it's that Zeng Jize united several countries at the Berlin Conference and is attacking the British, just for the land of Africa." ”

Emperor Guangxu was a little puzzled, "Dear father, my son has a few words, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

"You say yes, we are mother and son, there is nothing that can't be said," the Queen Mother smiled, she put down the fold, "Say it." ”

"This land of Africa, my son doesn't think it's important, I just think that according to Master Wang's teachings, the 40,000,000 people in our country have let him live a good life, this is the greatest political achievement, the national strength will never be under the British, our Qing Kingdom is not better than Britain and France, we need to occupy colonies to grab a lot of resources, and my son is not afraid," he saw the smiling expression on the face of the Empress Dowager Cixi, and quickly explained, "It's just for this Africa far away in the world, and I want to offend the British, I always feel that it is not worth it. ”

"What's more, our sailors can't sail smoothly like the British Navy, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to hold on to the land of Africa in the future."

"Your words were not wrong, it is true, the sailor is not strong enough, so far, we don't rely on Africa to make any difference, why do we need to rush to offend the UK, hey, not to mention that it is not the UK, there are other countries, these countries are all offended, just for this place, is it worth it?"

"I think it's worthwhile, which is why I want to advocate for African land, indeed, the most important thing is not the opposition of Britain and France, but the land of Africa, whether it is useful to us."

The Peking Opera on the stage is still babbling and singing, but the emperor and queen have stopped putting their minds on the famous actors on the stage to perform, and turned to discuss important national matters, "This is not my whim, if it is about land, we do not need to be the same as Russia, insatiable for the territory, nor do we need to be the same as the United Kingdom, the world occupies a good place, our local area is huge, and suitable for survival, this is the land of God-given China, and no other place can compare to us, so naturally, In the past dynasties, the meaning of the big guy has always been to keep the central country, like the former Ming Dynasty Zheng He went to the Western Ocean seven times, at that time, the navies of Western countries did not know what pond was still making trouble, but Zheng He did not open up overseas territories, because at that time we always felt that the Central Plains was the best, and the rest of the places were barbarian lands, not worth seeing, which is a pity," the Queen Mother sighed amazingly, "It was the best opportunity before, if it was seized at that time, it would have been the first in the world now, There's nothing English or French to do. ”

"But now is also a good opportunity, most of the good places in the world have been occupied, Britain occupies India, so a big piece, the rest of the places, the good places are his, the former North America is almost all British and French colonies, we didn't catch up with the previous one, but now countries are discussing the division of Africa, don't look at them for a Congo River quarrels, in fact, it is for the preparation of countries in Africa how to divide the colonies, I want the land of Africa, The first one is not to want any of those places, we have enough here, and what they brought over there is just an exotic style, everyone looks at Le Yile, and the most important thing is to pave the way for the sailor. ”

"The sailor is foreshadowing?" Emperor Guangxu muttered, "What do you mean by being a father?" ”

"It is impossible for the sailor to stay in the port all the time, has been cruising in the offshore, I think the biggest reuse of the sailor, in addition to the same as the British, the world's land grabbing, the most important thing is to resist the enemy outside the country, whether we are before or after the establishment of foreign affairs, the most prosperous place in the country is in the southeast coast, in the past, Xuanzong, Wenzong did not want to fight to the end with the foreigners, never pay compensation to cut the land, nothing more than the southeast hinterland by the foreigners to come and go freely, as long as the sea transport is cut off, Our country will be out of breath, this is all a loss without a navy, so in the old years of the war of Vietnam, we had nothing to do in the country, this is the best way, but Rao is the battle of Vietnam, there is still harm to the two Guangzhou, the reason for this, in the final analysis, is that our sailors are not strong enough, if they are strong enough, directly in the Indian Ocean, all the enemies who will attack in the future will be annihilated, and there is no harm to our country at that time. ”

"What my father said is very true." Emperor Guangxu said with admiration.

"Although we have obtained the good technology of France, but it didn't take a few years of hard work, it can't be done, if the big country cooks a small fresh, science and technology are the same, we can't be in a hurry, but we can promote the construction of intensified warships from the outside, as long as we go to Africa to occupy the land, then with these lands, the sailors always have to go cruising, in this way, they can naturally get the experience of cruising in practice, which is much better than hiding in the port."

"I took the shares of the Suez Canal before, why did I promise to Britain and France that I would never interfere in specific business matters, and I would not station troops in the port of Suez like them, this is not that I am unwilling, but I am really powerless, the emperor is right, Africa is indeed far away, and a single point of the Suez Canal will not allow our troops to reach here, and with the land of Africa, we can string such points into a line, and then turn these lines into a surface in the future, like this, our overseas points echo each other, the Indian Ocean, it is impossible to let the British have the final say, the emperor," the Queen Mother's eyes were blazing, "Your vision should be open, now it is not enough to govern internal affairs well, but more to be ready to compete for hegemony in the world!" ”

Recommend a book by a good friend, "This Kingdom of Heaven is Not Peaceful"! I actually recommend Empress Dowager Cixi's nemesis, it's absolutely crazy, but this book is still very good, witty and humorous, and not too heavy, you can read it. (To be continued.) )
