Chapter 128: The Emperor is Overjoyed! Blessed be all nations! Hero

(Is it okay to give me a guaranteed monthly pass?) )

In the evening, return home.

The family rejoiced, and there was no need to say much.

The most gratifying thing is that Qingqing Gege can finally live at home justifiably.

At this time, she was already more than seven months pregnant, and in two or three months, she was about to give birth.

At that time, one of Su Yao's children in this world will be born.

After dinner, Su Yu and his sister-in-law Bai Feifei had a secret conversation.

"Sister-in-law, how much silver is there that Ling Zun can use?" Su Yu said.

Bai Feifei said: "A total of about three million taels of silver." ”

Three million taels, that's still a long way off.

According to the secret agreement, the Chinese side will invest about 10 million taels.

This may sound like a staggering number, but it should not be far off.

According to Su Yu's vision, a total of five factories will be built.

Two of them, for the country and the people, have a long construction period and slow profits, but the investment is very huge.

Iron and steel mills, textile mills.

Both of these are gold-swallowing behemoths.

It requires a large number of workers, and the purchase of raw materials also requires huge amounts of money. But for a country's industrial base, it is extremely important.

The textile mill is better, and it may be profitable within two years.

But the steel mill, I really don't know how many years it will take to make money.

And the investment of 10 million taels is already very conservative. Later, Zhang Zhidong engaged in the Westernization Movement, and the Hanyang Iron Works alone cost nearly 10 million taels.

Of course, during Zhang Zhidong's time, the silver had already depreciated, and he also took many detours.

But this 10 million taels is definitely needed, and it may not even be enough.

And almost all of the pressure on profitability in the first two years was on the other three factories.

These three factories will completely rely on Su Yao's ingenuity and wisdom from later generations.

The products of these three factories have not only conquered the domestic market, but also conquered the world market.

There are even some products that go to the fair in London to ensure a blockbuster.

According to his plan, some factories will be put into production next year.

Time is really tight.

But time is running out.

"Xiaoyu, what big thing are you going to do, you need so much silver?" Bai Feifei asked.

Su Yu directly handed over the secret agreement.

He will hardly show this secret agreement to anyone, but his sister-in-law Bai Feifei is the most trustworthy person, and she also has a lot of weight in this plan.

Bai Feifei read this secret agreement from beginning to end several times, and his whole scalp was numb.

She really couldn't imagine that Su Yu was going to do such a big thing?

What a country should do, he does alone.

"Xiaolu, that's really time-crunching." Bai Feifei said: "According to the secret agreement, you will capture Jiujiang before June 30, and you will raise enough funds on July 30. ”

"So, it's only been five months since you attacked Xiajiujiang."

Su Yu said: "No, it's only about four months, because this secret contract is on the Gregorian calendar." ”

Bai Feifei was silent for a while and said, "I will go and persuade my father to take out all the money in the family." ”

"But even so, there is still a gap of six or seven million taels of silver, what are you going to do?"

Su Yu said: "I'll find another way." ”

Six or seven million taels of silver, an absolute astronomical amount.

Bai Feifei wanted to speak and stopped.

Su Yu said: "Sister-in-law, what do you want to say?" ”

Bai Feifei said: "Princess Shou'an, there is a lot of private money. ”

Su Yu was suddenly embarrassed, it seemed that when Princess Shou'an came, she saw it.

But do you mean to let me have a fuck with her?

Su Yu said: "Sister-in-law, when these factories are set up, you may need to be stationed in Jiujiang." ”

Bai Feifei said directly: "I'll go." ”

She knew that this was the foundation of Su Yao's real great cause.

………………………………………………

Next!

Su Yu returned and announced in the court that he had successfully negotiated with the British, and the British would withdraw unconditionally, which immediately spread throughout the capital.

The entire capital was plunged into strong doubts.

During this time, the news about the British has almost become the hottest topic in the entire capital.

The Opium War more than ten years ago has also been brought back to the story.

Everyone felt that the British were the most difficult to deal with.

More than ten years ago, how many traitorous treaties were signed.

The indemnity alone was nearly 20 million taels.

It also ceded Hong Kong and opened several treaty port cities, and later even the customs were taken away by the British.

How could the British obediently withdraw from the army with such a big battle this time?

On the Guangzhou side, several battles have already been fought, and the Qing Dynasty has lost so badly that 20,000 or 30,000 people can't beat the other 2,000 or 3,000 people.

On the other side of Tianjin, the British naval guns were already falling into the city.

With this posture, where does it seem like you want to retreat?

It must have been coaxed by the British.

If the British were so good at talking, the past ten years would not have been so miserable, and the entire Qing Dynasty would not have been full of opium.

………………………………

Today, the emperor does not go to court.

Since last night, he has been restless.

The contract that Su Yu brought over, he read it over and over again.

The content is clear, and there is indeed no loss of power and humiliation of the country.

There were no indemnities, no land ceded and no treaty cities added.

It is said that the reason why the British Empire sent troops was completely because the Qing court did not keep its promises and connived at the local government to harm British merchants, in order to protect the overseas Chinese and protect British interests in China, so it had to send troops, hoping that the emperor would fulfill his promise and punish the relevant officials.

The Emperor had never seen such a fair treaty.

So good that he couldn't believe it.

But he had a great desire to believe it was true.

"Look, do you think this contract is real?" The emperor handed it to Concubine Yi.

Concubine Yi looked at it for a while and said, "When you sign it, it must be true, and Su Yu will not falsely report the credit." ”

The emperor said: "Then do you think the British will withdraw their troops?" ”

Concubine Yi thought for a while and said, "It's difficult. ”

The emperor said: "You mean that Su Yu let the British deceive?" ”

Concubine Yi said: "Even if this is the case, the emperor should not blame him, his heart is good, but after all, he has not dealt with the British, and he does not know that the British are cunning." ”

The emperor said, "What if...... He was really deceived by the British, so how do you think the British should be withdrawn? ”

Concubine Yi said: "Change people to talk." ”

The meaning of this is very clear, if you talk to another person, you will really have to sign some treaties that will lose power and humiliate the country.

The emperor said, "Who do you think you should send?" ”

Concubine Yi said: "King Gong! ”

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then felt that it made sense, the woman in front of him was really smart.

Prince Gong is indeed the most suitable person, his status is high enough to give the British face. But he was also a potential threat to the emperor, and letting him sign a traitorous treaty was just right to ruin his reputation.

Kill two birds with one stone.

The emperor sighed and said, "If Su Yu was really deceived by the British, then ...... It's really a bad reputation. If so, what do you think should be done? ”

Concubine Yi said: "He is a talent, he can't do without it, he will be refrigerated for half a year, and then let him come back when the impact fades." ”

The emperor said, "That's all it takes." ”

It was at this time that there was a violent running sound outside.

Who would dare to run like this in the palace?

I don't know if the emperor is in a bad mood?

And at this time, the voice of the eunuch Zeng Lu came from outside: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, six hundred miles are urgent." ”

The emperor's hand paused slightly.

He didn't know if he was afraid of the word or if he was looking forward to it.

But at least for now, it's scary.

I am afraid that what I will hear is great bad news, such as that the British have attacked the city of Tianjin.

Concubine Yi immediately retreated to the back, and the emperor said, "Let him come in." ”

"The emperor is overjoyed, overjoyed, the British fleet has retreated."

The emperor couldn't help but be stunned and said, "What did you say? ”

"Your Majesty, the British fleet has retreated, retreated from the sea of Tianjin, it is absolutely true."

The Emperor was in ecstasy.

……………………………………………………

Several officers of the Military Aircraft Department soon came to the emperor's presence.

Several ministers of military aircraft also couldn't believe their ears at all.

The fleet of the British, really retreated?

"Your Majesty, it is still uncertain, because we have deployed tens of thousands of troops in Tianjin, and the British only have a fleet, not much army, so it is possible to retreat temporarily, the key is Guangzhou, the British army has occupied the city of Guangzhou, and only by retreating from Guangzhou can it be regarded as a real retreat."

The Emperor suddenly came to his senses.

That's right, that's right.

The retreat from Guangzhou can be regarded as a real retreat.

But......

Minister Bao Ling's side, since he wants to give Su Yu a favor, he will definitely give it to the end.

And the time is calculated clearly.

Only half a day later!

"Six hundred miles expedited!"

"Six hundred miles expedited!"

"The emperor is overjoyed, the British army has officially withdrawn from Guangzhou and withdrawn to Hong Kong!"

"The Governor of Liangguang and the Governor of Guangdong have officially taken over the city of Guangzhou!"

Now, it's finally completely confirmed!

Next, the message became clearer and clearer.

Because from Guangdong, there are dozens of recitals, all of which are about one thing.

British troops withdrew.

It's true!

Su Yu really talked about it.

The emperor was about to explode with joy.

This huge pressure has finally been relieved.

And the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, except for surprises, the rest is shocked.

This...... Why is that?

Is Su Yu so powerful?

Such a difficult situation can be discussed?

It's also incredible.

Have you ever seen such a fair and just treaty with the UK?

How did Su Yu do it?

What a shame it is to think back to the Treaty of Nanjing, the Treaty of Commerce, the Treaty of Wangxia, etc., more than ten years ago?

…………………………………………

Su Yu talked about it!

The British withdrew their troops unconditionally.

The news quickly spread throughout the capital, and it immediately exploded completely.

After a brief moment of surprise, the entire capital fell into ecstasy.

The sound of crackling firecrackers is endless.

"Brother Su Yu, it's really the reincarnation of Zhang Yi and Su Qin! He said before that he would let the British withdraw unconditionally, who would dare to believe it? As a result, people really did it, and this ability is great. ”

"Look at the treaties signed by Qiying and Yiribu more than ten years ago, losing power and humiliating the country, and losing the face of their ancestors."

"Look at Brother Su Yu again, he didn't pay a single tael of silver, so he let the British retreat. People are more angry than people! ”

"If Brother Su Yu had been born more than ten years earlier, my Great Qing Kingdom would not have fallen to the point it is today."

It's not just the Han people who feel the same way.

Many Eight Banners hated Su Yu before, and at this time, many people changed their positions.

Especially the eight flags at the bottom gave a thumbs up.

"Look, look!"

"At the critical moment, it still depends on our flag people."

"Brother Su Yu is our blue flag, and it is really a civil and military double-song star who came down to earth to save our Qing Dynasty!"

"Look at Ye Mingchen, these Han people are all waste, and the world is corrupted by this group of people."

At this moment, Su Yu fully enjoyed the treatment of a national hero.

Followed by......

The eunuch Chengshou came to Su Yu's house to pass on the decree.

"The emperor sent an edict to Su to the palace for an audience."

When Su Yu went out, there was a crowd of people outside in Wuyang.

Countless flag men surrounded his doorstep.

"Brother Su Yu, good job!"

"Brother Su Yu, it's amazing."

"It's really for our ancestors!"

……………………………………………………

Inside the Royal Palace.

At this time, the emperor finally became interested, and asked Su Yu with great interest how he was talking.

Su Yu said: "Your Majesty, the minister said before that Britain's biggest enemy is Russia, and in the past few years, these two countries have been at war, fighting in a place called Crimea. ”

"Russia dispatched 700,000 troops, Britain and France dispatched a million troops, this is a real number, not like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms."

The emperor was amazed, there was such a large-scale war?

It's unimaginable.

"There were hundreds of thousands of casualties on both sides, and the British won, but it was also a pyrrhic victory."

Although the battle was over, the Liangzi on both sides could not be unraveled, and the minister and Minister Bao Ling told the minister the truth of distant friendship and close attack. We also have enmity between the Qing Dynasty and Russia, and the enemy of the enemy is a friend. ”

"Britain should not fight us, but should co-opt us, so that we can curb the expansion of Tsarist Russia in the east."

"And in the future, when Britain breaks out into war with Russia again, our Qing Dynasty can stand on the side of Britain, and they should not lose a big one because of a small one."

"I told Bao Ling that the friendship between our Qing Emperor is much more important and precious than 10 million taels of silver."

These words made the emperor's face flush and he was extremely happy.

Su Yu's words completely spoke to his heart, and he himself felt that he was the emperor of the Heavenly Empire, the most noble, and his favor was far more than one million gold.

"Well said, well talked." The emperor was overjoyed and said: "When you went to talk before, I really regretted sending you there, lest you failed to talk and affect your future. ”

"Now let those courtiers open their eyes and see clearly, won't you be sent to do this errand? Who has the ability to do this? ”

"What happened to Jain and Iribu before? They don't understand anything about the world pattern, how can they talk about it well, they don't know what the British think in their hearts. ”

"You really didn't disappoint me, and you really didn't live up to my trust."

Then the emperor began to look for the location of Britain on the globe, for the location of Russia.

"It seems that this Englishman still knows how to advance and retreat." The emperor said: "But your negotiation must be very difficult." ”

Su Yu said: "It's difficult, the British were not willing to back down at all at first. In the end, the minister said, my Qing Dynasty is the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and I will not retreat an inch, if I do not withdraw the army, then I have nothing to do, so I will go back to Beijing directly, and then take the new army to attack Guangzhou. Even if our new army is dead, there will still be millions of troops in the Qing Dynasty and hundreds of millions of people behind it. ”

"In their bones, the British still hope that we will contain Tsarist Russia, and seeing that we are so tough, they are sure that there is nothing to extort from us, so they agreed to withdraw unconditionally."

The emperor said, "Yes, you are right. But fortunately, it's you, if you were someone else, you would have been soft and compromised a long time ago, anyway, what you sold was my Qing Dynasty's interests, not his own interests. You are still loyal to the country, and you have not received any news in the past month, and I am worried that the British will detain you. ”

During the whole process, Concubine Yi heard it clearly next door, and she couldn't help but feel excited.

In the past two years, Su Yao has done a lot of great things, but Concubine Yi is still in a state of looking down.

Regardless of whether they are both civil and military, or the commander of the new army who won the war, these identities are all courtiers and slaves.

But how good are the British? She knew that now Su Yu had even done it to the British, which made her mentality change.

The emperor pulled Su Yu to speak again, and talked for more than an hour before letting him go home.

An hour later!

Concubine Yi said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, today is the birth of Enie. The concubine originally didn't plan to go back, because the emperor was concerned about state affairs, and the concubine was not in the mood. But now there is great good news coming, and the concubine wants to ask the emperor for a decree, so that the concubine can go back and accompany Eni to have a child. ”

The emperor was very happy at this time and said, "Quasi! It's not easy for you, although your home is in the capital, but after marrying into the palace, you haven't been back to your parents' house a few times. ”

Next, the emperor generously rewarded a lot of things, and asked the eunuch to take it back with Concubine Yi.

……………………………………………………

That evening!

Su Yao's family was full of guests, and the gifts sent were piled up all over the house.

With such a big contribution this time, it is obvious that he is going to be promoted again.

The speed of this Su Tuo Fei Huang Tengda is too fast.

Before the official gave marriage, Su Yu's family did not dare to hold a banquet.

Now it's finally time to be the right guests.

This time, there were many more guests than the night he married Qingqing.

He was entertaining with the distinguished guests, and suddenly his brother Su Quan came over and glanced at him.

Su Yu walked out, and Bai Feifei said, "Xiao Yu, Gui'er is here, it's in the backyard!" ”

He couldn't help but be stunned.

Gui'er? He's here at this time, what's the matter?

Suddenly, his heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a few points.

Could it be......

When he came to the backyard, the little eunuch Gui'er immediately knelt down towards Su Yu and said, "The slave has seen the master, and the slave congratulated the master." ”

Su Yu stepped forward, pulled him up, and said, "Okay Gui'er, get up quickly." ”

The little eunuch Gui'er said in a low voice: "Master, Concubine Yi wants to see you, and she will meet you in private, without any others." ”

"You come with me!"

Su Yao's breath couldn't help but stagnate, and sure enough, it was so.

Then, he followed behind the little eunuch Gui'er and walked somewhere in the night.
