In general, our Qing Dynasty now has a national pillar like Sotna, and the children of the Eight Banners are enthusiastically defending the country, the civil strife is calm, the foreign countries are harmonious, and there is no serious enemy in a state of war, which can be regarded as a preliminary achievement of Xiantong Zhongxing.

But just when Xingzhen grabbed Xinggen with one hand and prepared to worship her ancestors with the other, a country called the Ottoman Turks suddenly declared war on our Qing Dynasty.

Xingzhen is really uncomfortable like being suffocated back halfway through.

To be honest, Xingzhen still knows a lot about Turkic.

The old Ashina's family is similar to her old Yehenara's family, and they are all mixed in Nagada in northern China.

But at the court meeting, the prince of Sotna presented a photo of the sultan cropped from the "Daming Times", and after Xingzhen watched it, she showed the expression of the old man's mobile phone .jpg.

"This is the Turks? Aren't the Turks supposed to be similar to Mongols like Suo Aiqing, who are all big-faced and loyal and honest-looking? ”

Xingzhen frowned and looked at the photo horizontally and vertically, feeling that something was wrong, "This Turkic man has a fierce face and a ghost...... Isn't it hypothetical? ”

Xingzhen is also familiar with this thing!

Didn't their Manchu ancestors also pretend to be attached to the Dajin Jurchens?

As a wilder, find yourself an ancestor and don't stumble.

But the problem is, we are full of people, and we have to make a face, and the ancestors we recognize are at least eight or nine and ten, right?

What's going on with these gang of Ottomans?

Don't even want your face?

Rao has always said nonsense with his eyes open, like eating and drinking, and the Manchu ministers can't stand it.

"The minions think that this Turk is a pseudo-Turk, and it is not enough to believe it."

The squire of the military department said with a lofty face, "Such a small state, it is the best policy to send a heroic and righteous Hongru as an envoy, and to reprimand his king in person, so that he can repent and repent. ”

Since losing Tianjin's nest, the devil Liu, who has been completely played by the Xingzhen Party in politics, has watched coldly.

He knew what the Ottoman Turks were.

That's a big country!

can talk and laugh with Britain, France, Russia and Austria!

However, now that Devil Six has saved most of his wealth in the British foreign firm, he is ready to find a way to go to Hong Kong and even go abroad in the sea if he can't do anything.

What kind of bullshit plateau, that's a stupid way to come up with it.

Well, once the mentality changes, with the Martian perspective, the way of looking at the problem will be different.

Although the surname is Aixin Jueluo, whether this Qing Kingdom is alive or dead has nothing to do with my Yixin.

With such an idea, as one of the few people in the court who can speak, Devil Six chose to keep silent and watch coldly.

In the end, Xingzhen will make a decision, and there will be a cabinet scholar, Li Hongzao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, as the main official, and Wanyan Chonghou as the adjutant, to send an envoy to the countries of Europa, and by the way, to reprimand the unreasonable pseudo-Turk Khan.

·

Historically, the Qing Dynasty first sent emissaries to Europe in 1876.

The visitor was Guo Songtao, who was scolded as a second devil.

When Guo Songtao visited, he sent farewell to the old scholars with the Four Books and Five Classics, hoping that he could educate foreigners and make them not so barbaric.

But obviously, Guo Songtao did not complete the task well.

His various behaviors abroad were unanimously attacked by the Qinglius.

Wearing Western clothes, performing foreign salutes, and learning foreign languages are all heinous sins.

There are even conservative literati who write couplet satire: "Out of its kind, out of its class, not allowed in the world of Yao Shun; If you can't help people, you can do ghosts, so why go to the state of your parents. ”

In this clear stream feast, one of the people who danced the most happily was Li Hongzao, a Confucian who had been working against the Western-style party all his life.

Li Hongzao's name looks like a brother to Li Hongzhang, but in fact they are a pair of incompatible political opponents.

Even with him, Li Hongzhang's friend Guo Songtao was also regarded by him as a fellow party, and he was eager to kill him as soon as possible.

However, today's Qing Dynasty is completely different from the historical Qing Dynasty.

As one of the veterans of the Hunan army, Guo Songtao is now in Li Hongzhang's shogunate.

The most important task is to use open source intelligence such as "Daming Times" and "Royal Geographic" to study the international trend, so as to find a piece of land that can replicate Zuo Zongtang's experience as soon as possible.

Jiangnan is not a place to live for a long time, and going to the open sea to seal the king is the right way.

Li Hongzhang has been enlightened by the rebel.

Therefore, Guo Songtao could not help the Qing Dynasty to send envoys no matter what.

On the contrary, Li Hongzao, who had fought with Li Hongzhang all his life and scolded Guo Songtao as a traitor to foreign countries, was ordered to be in danger this time and took on the burden of de-edifying foreigners.

His level is much higher than Guo Songtao, and he is a member of the same level as Li Hongzhang.

Therefore, Li Hongzao's visit to the West is comparable to the very high standard of Li Hongzhang's visit in 1896.

There's no way around it.

Because historically, Guo Songtao went to Europe, mainly because of the "Dian case".

To put it simply, the people of Yunnan killed a British minister interpreter who tried to illegally survey and map the Sino-Burmese border and explore the road, which caused the surprise of friendly countries.

Li Hongzhang and Wei Tuma signed the Sino-British Treaty of Yantai in Yantai, Shandong.

After the Qing government brought the "murderer" to justice and opened the port to pay compensation, it sent Guo Songtao to apologize to the British.

And this time, in addition to the pseudo-sudden things that popped up out of nowhere, the most important thing is that the Qing court also had to make amends to the British, and by the way, try a new plan for Lian Yang.

The crime that the Qing court wanted to pay for this time was much greater than that of a minister who died in the "Dian Case".

This time, the British minister killed a counselor and more than 20 military attachés, more than Zhu Fugui killed in Tianjin.

Of course, this was not because Xingzhen stood up and attacked the British legation, but because it was an accident.

At least the Qing court thought it was an accident.

That was last year.

On Xingzhen's thirtieth birthday more than two years ago, the British Minister Ali Guo was deeply shocked by the Roman wine utensils offered at the sticky pole, and decided that there should be a site left by the Roman expeditionary force somewhere in China.

According to his research, it is believed that the site should be somewhere in Gansu.

So, before last year's chaos, he let his henchman, Herbert, counselor of the British Legation in China, secretly organize a team of more than 200 people to explore the ancient Silk Road.

If nothing else, they will discover the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang 30 years ahead of schedule and unlock the treasures that have been sealed for more than a thousand years.

Then they will make a lot of money, although they did not find the treasure of the Romans.

It is even possible that they may refer to the Dunhuang murals as Roman-style works.

But the accident did happen.

The cultural monuments secretly protected by Zhu Fugui's Jinyi Guards are not only the Terracotta Warriors and Horses and the Yin Ruins of Anyang.

Some cultural relics that have been discovered recently and have low difficulty in discovery are all small-scale detachments stationed in Jinyiwei.

In the Mogao Grottoes, there is a small battle flag of 10 people.

More than 20 British GIs, plus dozens of Indian soldiers, if there was a head-on conflict, it would indeed be very dangerous for 10 Jinyi guards.

But in the wind-swept and sandy Dunhuang wilderness, with mental calculations or unintentional, the young men of the Fusi Special Combat Team in Jinyi Weibei Town have a hundred ways to kill them.

In the end, after waiting for more than a year and still not hearing from him, Ali Guo knew that his thief team might not have sunk into the sea of sand.

In order to cover up the fact that he used his public weapons for private purposes and caused property and personnel losses, Ali Guo preemptively accused the Manchu government of failing to properly handle the Tianjin teaching case, which led to the increase of Chinese hatred for foreign guests.

This is the most direct reason for the attack on a colleague who is out on an outing.

Ali Guo bribed the members of Congress to pass a threat and ultimatum against the Qing government.

Therefore, this time, the Manchus had to send a high-ranking official of great weight to London for negotiations.

Xingzhen's message is to try not to lose money.

The court really has no money.

If you cut the land, south of the Yangtze River, north of Wuling, plus North Korea and Vietnam, the British will cut it at will.

Jiangning is the first to be recommended, and if the British want it, they can pack Anhui.

A second ago, I was shouting that the snowy plateau would not give an inch of land, and I became extremely generous in an instant.
