Chapter 142: Treaties

In this situation where the safety of his hometown is unknown, Guo Yuefeng is not good at forcing Du Ying to leave, but it is really safer for Yin County now. In the end, Guo Yuefeng embarked on the journey back to his hometown alone.

"The dog slave finally went back with the dog's tail between his legs." The attack of these words was very strong, it was not said by Jiang Ling, nor was it said by Du Ying. The ones who spoke were the brothers and sisters of the Zeng family, the two people that Jiang Lingxin picked up and went home.

The surname Zeng always makes people flash countless memories, and it is no coincidence that there is no book, and the brothers and sisters of the Zeng family are Zeng Hong's children.

They did not die in the fire at that time, but hid in the home of their old friend under careful arrangement.

It's just that this old friend who was entrusted with a heavy responsibility died in the repeated turmoil in Yinxian County. By chance, Jiang Ling picked up the brother and sister.

Because of what happened to their father and daughter, the brother and sister's favor towards Yan Ting plummeted to a negative number. They were more anti-Yan than some people in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Guo Yuefeng is the opposite, he is an aspiring young man, a meritorious young man with a heart for Yan Ting. He had read a lot, and unlike other old masters, he regarded foreign things as poison. He actively absorbs and learns, looking for a panacea that can save Yan Ting.

How to say, under the guidance of this completely opposite ideology, it is already restrained not to be beaten out by the Zeng brothers and sisters when Guo Yuefeng comes to visit every day. They still want to let such a person go to Jiang's house, and everyone has to say a good word.

Not long after Guo Yuefeng left, a blockbuster news swept through Yin County.

In the eleventh year of Tongguang, the year of Xin Chou, and also the first day of A.D., the Empress Dowager of the West sent Li Zhongtang and King Jing to sign the "Peace and Friendship Treaty" with the allied forces in Beijing.

After the treaty was signed, the coalition forces withdrew as agreed, and according to the agreement, they struck at the anti-Yan forces on the way to withdraw.

These included a number of militia groups that had been beaten up as patriotic, groups that resisted foreign invasion, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

The coalition forces have decided to support Yan Ting as an agent in this part of the Far East, and a government and country that is peaceful and stable and controlled is the ideal state, otherwise where will the people of a war-torn country have the heart and spare money to buy their goods?

The actions of the coalition forces aroused an unprecedented simple patriotic fervor among the people of this land, and they threw themselves into the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in an attempt to fight against it.

Unfortunately, they were disappointed by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which collapsed at a speed they could not have imagined, with internal and external factors accounting for half of the total, and a group of people with lofty ideals went into exile.

At the same time, the roar of the guns finally woke up half of the Yan government. Under the existential crisis, the Empress Dowager finally agreed to the "Shiyi Changji to Control the Movement" organized by King Jing and Li Zhongtang.

Under the guidance of the ideological policy of "Chinese style and Western use", a number of new industries have sprung up in this land, bringing new vitality to this land.

And reformed education, sent foreign students, and with the support of Jiang Ling, the Zeng brothers and sisters and Du Ying went to France to study together.

Du Ying's study abroad expenses can be paid by himself, while the study abroad expenses of the Zeng brothers and sisters are "borrowed" from Jiang Ling, after all, Zeng Hong was in a hurry to make a decision at that time, and only gave the two children money to live, but studying abroad was not enough. These two children were taught very well by Zeng Hong, and they have their own ideas and dignity. In fact, the three of them all took the path of private study abroad, and they did not choose to study abroad on public assignment because of their background and many other reasons.

Jiang Ling once asked the Zeng brothers and sisters if they wanted to go to Britain, and their brother still had a care there, but the two refused. Stimulated by the treaty, they wanted to find a cure to save the country, and this formula would not be in the corrupt Yan court and the compromise British government, so they wanted to go to France, where the king's head was cut off.
