Crown Prince Edward originally thought that the journey to Jiujiang would be very boring, but he did not expect it to be so colorful.

On the rolling Yangtze River, there is a sailing race.

Dance party every night.

What's even more exciting is that Su Yu took him and Prince George into the deep mountains and old forests to hunt.

And almost no guns, completely with bows and arrows.

In the mountains of Jiangxi in this era, there are all kinds of beasts.

Wild boars, bears, tigers, leopards.

Su Yu was not used to these two princes, so he took them to trek through mountains and rivers, camp in the wild, and hunt in the wild to survive.

I'm tired enough.

But it was also so cool that it completely satisfied the crown prince's adventurous heart.

Especially when a South China tiger appears in the field of vision, the terrifying feeling of almost peeing is too exciting.

And when Su Yu took out a giant clear bow with eighteen powers, he shot this South China tiger alive with an armor-piercing heavy arrow.

This stimulation is felt at the apex.

And at this time, the soldiers who protected the two princes around them also breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, at least dozens of shotguns were aimed at the tiger, but they just didn't shoot.

It's about creating that thrilling and adventurous feeling.

And this tiger really rushed more than ten meters in front of Su Yu.

That roar, that sense of coercion, is completely unimaginable.

And Su Yu stood motionless, letting the tiger pounce and shoot two arrows in a row, directly into the tiger's eyes, inserted into the brain and died.

The mighty image of this moment is indelible.

In this environment, the two princes also gave up their reserve and chatted with Su Yu more and more.

"Sir Su Yu, are you a member of China's royal family?" Prince George asked suddenly.

Su Yu understood the chill of this sentence, because in the eyes of this group of nobles, the bloodline theory is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Su Yu said: "Of course! ”

In the eyes of the two princes, if Su Yu was just an ordinary person, then even if he was so brave, he was just a powerful general.

But he is a royal family, but he is so powerful, it is completely different.

Although in the minds of the British, the Qing Dynasty was decadent and backward.

But for the title of Chinese emperor, there are still complex emotional colors.

Now in the world, there are not many emperors in the Communist Party, and there are even fewer great emperors who have inheritance and are recognized.

"Why did your emperor depose you?" Prince George said.

Su Yu said: "Because I'm resisting him." ”

Crown Prince Edward said, "Why do you oppose your emperor? ”

Su Yu said: "In order to make this country civilized and rich. ”

The two princes, both teenagers, one was only sixteen years old, and the other was eighteen, which was the age of rebellion.

Crown Prince Edward said: "I really envy you, you can have your own ideals, you can have such a big challenge for me." Unlike me, the British Empire is already the most powerful country in the world, and there is no challenge for me. ”

You're too arrogant to say that.

But, it's really what he said in his heart.

Su Yu said: "No, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, not only do you have challenges, but your challenges are even more difficult than mine. ”

Crown Prince Edward was stunned and said, "What challenges do I have?" Could there be a more powerful country in the world than the British Empire? ”

Su Yu said: "I don't know if you have heard a sentence that it is difficult to start a business, and it is even more difficult to keep a business." Why is it that every founding monarch is glorified, while the monarchs who come after him are criticized for their mediocrity. It's because they think the same way as you, and they feel that the world is no longer challenging and has lost its interest. ”

"It's really hard for me to change this country and make it strong, it's hard to get there."

"But Your Highness the Crown Prince, your challenge is greater than mine, and your great cause is even more difficult than mine."

Crown Prince Edward said, "What do I do? ”

Su Yu said: "Continue the hegemony of the British Empire for more than a hundred years, see the truth of this world clearly, truly understand the enemies of the British Empire, and then find a way to disintegrate them." ”

Crown Prince Edward said: "In your opinion, what are the enemies of my British Empire?" ”

Su Yu said: "The British Empire has three enemies, short-term, medium-term, and long-term. ”

Suddenly, the two princes became excited.

Su said: "The short-term enemy of the British Empire, Tsarist Russia, their greed and expansion, are trying to shake the British Empire to build a world order, as evidenced by the recent Crimean War. And once their expansion in the West fails, they will choose to expand in the East. ”

Crown Prince Edward said: "My words may make you unhappy, but the center of the world is in Europe, and the Far East is only a wilderness of civilization, a remote part of the world. Tsarist Russia's expansion in the Far East could not challenge the British Empire at all. ”

Su Yu said: "It's true, but in the Eastern World there is a huge population, a huge amount of resources, and it is still very weak, once the Tsarist Russian Empire continues to expand in the Eastern World, then what they lost in the West, will be replenished in the East." What will this bear do once it has recovered from its injuries in the Eastern World and has become strong again? ”

Crown Prince Edward said: "It will go to Europe again and challenge the order of the British Empire." ”

"Yes!" Su Yu said: "Therefore, we must change this situation, not only can we not let the Tsarist Empire recuperate in the East, but also continue to lose blood in the East." ”

Crown Prince Edward said: "Then who is the mid-term enemy you are talking about?" ”

"The Kingdom of Prussia, which is ambitious, is trying to unify the entire German state. And this was only his short-term goal, and his long-term goal was to unify the entire European continent and restore the glory of the Roman Empire. ”

"When France wanted to unify the whole of Europe, it was an enemy of the British Empire."

"So, too, the Kingdom of Prussia, which was destined to rise, was destined to try to unify all of Europe, as France had been. And Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you also know that whoever unifies Europe will be the end of Britain. ”

"Believe me, it won't be long before the Kingdom of Prussia will become the biggest challenger to the hegemony of the British Empire, and even shake and dismantle the hegemony of the British Empire, if your country does not detect this in advance and change it."

"And the long-term enemy is the United States. It will put an end to your hegemony once and for all, and even make you its vassals. ”

Crown Prince Edward said: "Impossible, those savage mutineers? That former colony? ”

Su Yu said: "Believe me, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The United States of America is your almost insoluble enemy. ”

Crown Prince Edward said: "Why? ”

Su Yu said: "With his huge land, huge population, and developed industry, he is far away from the environment of war. ”

"The Tsarist Empire weakened you, the Kingdom of Prussia shook and disintegrated your hegemony, and the United States finally took its place."

"Crown Prince Edward, do you still feel that there is no challenge now?"

Crown Prince Edward did not speak, and Prince George said, "Then what do you think can be done to change this trend?" ”

Su Yu said: "Yes, that is China." ”

"China is the spear of the hegemony of the British Empire." Su Yu said: "When it is fully developed, China's market will be equal to all your colonies combined. As long as it is deeply involved in China's industrial development, it can hedge against the powerful industrialization achievements of the United States. ”

So in the future, when China becomes strong, will it subvert the hegemonic system of the British Empire?

This is completely unconceptual for the two princes, and it is completely out of the scope of concern.

Just as the British Empire felt that the Ottoman Empire was completely impossible to be a challenge.

…………………………

Fuzhou!

"Villain Su Gui, meet Lord Tian." Gui'er saluted to Tian Yugong.

Tian Yugong felt that the young man in front of him was familiar, and couldn't help but say, "Are you?" ”

Gui'er said: "I used to be the eunuch next to Concubine Yi, and I have another identity, I used to be the scholar of Lord Su Yu. ”

Tian Yu said fairly: "Then what is your current identity?" ”

Gui'er said: "I will always be the young master's scholar." ”

Tian Yu said fairly: "That's right, that's right, tell me quickly, how did you do it?" ”

He can't even imagine now, how did all this happen?

Why did the extremely tough foreigners suddenly compromise all of a sudden?

Unprecedentedly admitted his mistake.

And he voluntarily withdrew from the army.

Even if the sun rises in the west, it won't be possible.

But all of this is really happening.

Gui'er took out a few newspapers and put them in front of Tian Yugong.

Of course, Tian Yugong couldn't read English, and there was a translator next to him.

Gui'er said: "My young master is in London, and he spent a huge price to let the British Empire royal family end up in person, which reversed the entire public opinion. ”

"Just a few days ago, the imperial court and Count Ergin colluded to destroy my young master's Yangtze River fleet."

Tian Yugong said in a trembling voice: "The emperor used the navy of the British Empire to destroy Lord Su Yu's Yangtze River fleet? ”

Gui'er said, "Yes." ”

Suddenly, Tian Yugong was speechless.

"The result? The result? ”

Gui'er said: "My young master forced back the foreigners' navy, Count Ergin resigned, and he stepped down. ”

This news was like thunder, resounding in Tian Yugong's ears.

This...... It's even more fantastical.

Gui'er said: "Because, the crown prince of the British Empire secretly visited Jiujiang, he was on the flagship of my young master at the time, and the fleet of the Earl of Ergin shelled the crown prince's boat and wounded the crown prince, so ...... He stepped down. ”

Tian Yugong lost all reactions.

This...... Such a big deal?

And it is the kind of handwriting that is completely beyond Tian Yugong's cognition.

Gui'er said: "Count Ergin has made a big disaster, once this matter is made public, he will commit a great crime, and he will pay a huge price, lose his title, lose his fief, and so on." So my young master talked to him about two conditions, the first condition was to let him resign voluntarily. The second condition is to release Lord Tian Yugong, and admit defeat and retreat on the Xiamen teaching case, and withdraw unconditionally. ”

The truth is revealed.

No wonder foreigners admit their mistakes, no wonder foreigners retreat.

After being deeply shocked, Tian Yugong was deeply moved in his heart.

After a long moment, he bowed deeply.

"Thank you for saving your life." Tian Yu said fairly: "He saved my life, it's nothing." Even he saved my political life for nothing, the most important thing is that he saved my reputation, he made my reputation. ”

"Now everyone thinks that I am a hero of the Qing Dynasty, but I know deep down that I just stole the fruits of Lord Su Yu's victory."

Tian Yugong was at the most glorious moment of his life at this time.

And if nothing else, he will be famous in history, and he will be praised by thousands of people.

This is more important than anything else for a reader.

No matter how many people are shattered, they can't achieve this achievement.

Then, Tian Yu said fairly: "I am shining now, but Lord Su Yu has lost all his official positions, how should this be good?" ”

In Tian Yugong's view, Su Yu may now have power in his hands.

However, it is always unjustifiable.

The imperial court has always held the righteousness in its hands.

Previously, due to the war situation in the south, the emperor canonized Shen Baozhen as the acting governor of Jiangxi, so Su Yu could also take charge of the power of the governor of Jiangxi.

Then next, the emperor can remove Shen Baozhen at any time.

Change someone else to be the governor of Jiangxi.

At that time, what should Su Yu do? Will you create another robbery and killing incident?

When Tian Yugong thought of this, he was deeply worried.

"Gui'er, at this time, I have a fateful friendship with your master, you tell me, Qincha Dexing'a and Weng Tongshu, was it your master who asked him to rebel and rob and kill?" Tian Yugong couldn't help but ask.

Gui'er said directly: "Yes." ”

Yes?!

Tian Yugong was stunned, not surprised by this result.

Instead, he was surprised by Su Yu's confession to him.

Lord Su Yu, you really love and hate to the extreme.

For the enemy, he destroys without mercy. But for his friends, he desperately rescued and helped each other.

This time, Tian Yugong was able to sit as the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and he was able to save his life, what a huge price did Su Yu pay?

Tian Yu said fairly: "Gui'er, you don't know the emperor, he usually pays attention to decency, but once he is angry, he completely ignores decency." ”

"And the emperor is in control of the righteousness of the court, once he deposes Shen Baozhen and changes to another person to be the governor of Jiangxi?" Tian Yu said fairly: "Then your master will completely lose the power of the governor of Jiangxi." ”

"Even, the emperor still has a lot of cards in his hand to play, and the removal of Shen Baozhen is only the smallest card."

"The supremacy of imperial power is difficult for your master to resist."

"Suppose that the emperor decrees the dismissal of Shen Baozhen and the replacement of a person like Qi Ling to be the governor of Jiangxi, what should I do? Do you want to rob and kill the Chin Cha again? ”

Of course not!

The first time he robbed and killed the Qincha fleet, Su Yu could get rid of the relationship at least on the surface.

Even now, many people don't believe that this is Su Yu's doing, and feel that this is completely rebellious.

If something like this happened for the second time, then Su Lu would not be able to wash it away by jumping into the Yellow River.

At that time, there will be no second way except rebellion.

But for Su Yu, rebellion is the least cost-effective way.

Gui'er said: "So my master, this time I plan to take the initiative instead of passively fighting back." ”

Tian Yu said fairly: "To the imperial court, do you take the initiative to attack?" ”

Gui'er said, "Yes." ”

Tian Yu said fairly: "This, how to do this?" ”

Gui'er said: "Invite the governor of Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Anhui, Hubei, and Hunan to form a seven-province alliance and a seven-province economic cooperation body. ”

Tian Yugong trembled and said, "This is against the imperial court?!" Another order? ”

Gui'er said, "Yes." ”

Such a big ...... Hands-on?

In the face of such a big move, it is completely conceivable that the imperial court will fall into astonishment in an instant.

There is no doubt that this is a huge political crisis for the imperial court.

Then, all the political attacks of the imperial court on Su Yu will all stop.

Because, the imperial court needs to go all out to deal with this political crisis.

At that time, many of the means in the imperial court's toolbox for Su Yu will all be invalid.

Then, Gui'er bowed and said: "My master invites you to attend the signing ceremony of the Seven Provinces Alliance, when the Crown Prince of the British Empire will also be present, and the special envoy of the British Empire will also sign the Economic Cooperation of the Seven Provinces to express political recognition and political witness. ”

Gui'er still bent down and bowed, looking at Tian Yu and said, "Lord Tian, are you going?" ”

This is a question of the soul.

went, which meant that it was against the imperial court.

You may lose all your official positions.

However, everything about himself was given by Su Yu.

Life, political life, posthumous name.

"I'll go!" Tian Yugong said bluntly: "I'll go, I'll go!" ”

"I am duty-bound, I am duty-bound!" Tian Yugong emphasized.

Then, Tian Yu said fairly: "Whoever does great things must have great righteousness." If Lord Su Yu wants to fight against the imperial court, he needs more righteousness. ”

"Excuse me, what kind of righteousness are you going to use?"

Gui'er said: "Adults are extremely smart, they must know." ”

Tian Yu said fairly: "For my country, for my people, oppose the Tianjin Treaty, oppose the humiliating treaty." ”

Gui'er said: "Wisdom, no more than adults." ”

Tian Yu said fairly: "This righteousness is okay!" Enough is enough! ”

Moreover, he Tian Yugong can even more show up and say that everything he is doing now is a national hero who opposes the humiliating treaty.

He has just won an unprecedented diplomatic victory.

It can be used as an opportunity for the Seven Provinces Covenant.

Then, Tian Yugong asked, "Then the British royal envoy was present to say that?" ”

Gui'er said: "Another route, peace and cooperation, relative equality. ”

Because she is her own person, Gui'er uses the words relative equality.

If it is external, it must use the word equality.

But in this world, the law of the jungle eats the strong, and if you want to develop with the help of other people's strength, how can you be equal.

Tian Yu said fairly: "Governor of the Seven Provinces, how many have you done?" ”

Gui'er said: "Four, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Fujian. ”

Tian Yugong once again felt extremely surprised.

Master Su, how did you do it?

Wang Youling, the governor of Zhejiang, is He Guiqing's person, your political enemy, how did you get it?

There is also a Xu Youren.

For me, Tian Yugong, you have paid such a big price and such a big hand.

Tian Yu said fairly: "In other words, there are still Anhui, Hubei, and Hunan left, all of which are the forces of the Hunan army." To put it bluntly, it is Zeng Guofan. “

Gui'er said: "That's right! ”

"But the young master said that he can handle Zeng Guofan."

Tian Yu said fairly: "When are we leaving?" ”

Gui'er said: "It's better right away!" ”

Tian Yu said fairly: "Where to go?" ”

Gui'er said: "Shanghai! ”

The signing ceremony of the seven-province pact, the seven-province economic cooperation, will not be held in Jiujiang, but in Shanghai.

This is more impartial and authoritative.

It is more able to represent the will of the entire seven southern provinces.

Tian Yu said fairly: "I will prepare a little and set off immediately to Shanghai!" ”

Gui'er bowed and said, "Yes!" ”

He was incomparably excited.

Master, I, Gui'er, have finally done a great thing for you.

Of course, he knew that the Seven Southern Provinces Covenant was a clarion call for the master Su Yu to launch a counterattack against the imperial court.

……………………………………

At the same time, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Governor Yamen.

Hu Xueyan came to pay a visit.

"Snow Rock meets the Governor." Hu Xueyan said: "Now that the adults have shown their ambitions and a province has closed the territory, Xueyan is overjoyed. ”

Wang Youling held Hu Xueyan's hand and said, "You and my brother, you don't have to say this. ”

Then, Wang Youling asked, "What did Lord Su Yu send you here?" ”

Hu Xueyan said: "Lord Su Yu invites you to go to Shanghai to participate in the signing ceremony of the Seven Provinces Covenant in a few days!" ”

Wang Youling trembled and said, "Is this day finally here?" ”

Hu Xueyan said: "Yes, it's finally here." ”

Then, Hu Xueyan said: "My lord, this matter is not trivial, are you sure?" ”

Wang Youling said: "Hahaha! ”

Without any explanation, he said bluntly: "I will come as promised!" ”

If there is no Su Yu, according to the trajectory of history, Wang Youling will soon die in the hands of the Taiping army.

Su Yu can be regarded as a lifesaver for him.

……………………

Suzhou!

Su Quan, on behalf of Su Yu, came to visit Xu Youren, the governor of Jiangsu.

"Senior Su Quan, meet your lord!"

Xu Youren stepped forward and helped him up and said, "Is it time?" Where to go? ”

Su Quandao: "Shanghai! ”

Xu Youren said: "Are the governors of other provinces all right?" ”

Su Quandao: "There are also Anhui, Hubei, and Hunan." ”

Xu Youren said: "Xiang Jun, Zeng Guofan, waiting for his decision?" ”

Su Quandao: "Yes." ”

Xu Youren said: "Please tell Lord Su Yu for me, whether there is Zeng Guofan or not, it's all the same." We're going to do that too! ”

"If the Hunan army does not participate, then our four provinces will form an alliance."

"From now on, blockade Hunan, Hubei, and Anhui!"

"There is a vassal of the former country, and that is the Seven Provinces Covenant. Without his vassal domain, it would be a four-province covenant. ”

"Is Dayi opposed to the Treaty of Tianjin, the Treaty of Humiliation, the entry of the Yangyi fleet into the Yangtze River, and the right of foreigners to preach?"

Su Quandao: "Yes! ”

Xu Youren said: "For the world, righteousness is in our hands. ”

"I'll make a little preparation, and then set off for Shanghai to discuss important matters with Lord Su Yu and the governors of several provinces!"

……………………………………

Jingshi Imperial Hall.

"Six hundred miles expedited!"

The first 600 miles to rush into Beijing!

Tian Yugong, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, played the Xiamen lesson plan and won a complete victory.

The foreigners handed over the bodies of the five missionaries (in fact, they were on display, not handing them over), and promised to thoroughly investigate the abduction and trafficking of Qing women and children.

The Archbishop of England completely excommunicated all the five from all their clergy, all their memberships.

The British warships on the Minjiang River, evacuated.

Marines, retreat.

In an instant, the emperor and the court were completely blinded!

This...... What's going on?

Tough foreigners, when did they talk so well?

Then, Tian Yugong's twists and turns impeached the Fuzhou general Ling Ling Cao for disregarding people's lives, referring to deer as horses, and persecuting innocent people.

In an instant, the emperor could barely react.

In order to use the British fleet to eliminate the Sulu Yangtze River fleet, he attacked the Jiujiang Industrial Zone.

He did not hesitate to make Gui Liang repeatedly compromise with the British, promising to hand over the so-called murderer of the missionary and pay 200,000 yuan in compensation.

As a result, you foreigners themselves actually compromised and gave in?

What happened?

However, what the emperor was most concerned about at this time was the result of Count Ergin's elimination of the Su Yu Yangtze River fleet.

That's what matters.

As long as this goal is destroyed, nothing is to worry about.

So, the emperor laughed and said, "Good, good, good." ”

"Tian Yugong is good, this is really a huge victory for my Qing diplomacy."

"Intended purpose, Tian Yugong, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, enjoy the dazzling eyes."

However!

Only a quarter of an hour later, another six hundred miles of urgent news came.

"The emperor is overjoyed!"

"The victory of the Yangtze River, the victory of the Yangtze River."

"Jiangxi Governor Shen Baozhen reported that the patrol fleet of Jiujiang has forced back the Yangyi fleet of Count Ergin!"

"This is really a great victory for our Qing diplomacy."

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor!"

In a flash!

The emperor's face changed drastically.

It was completely impossible to hide, and the whole face was directly blue.

Immediately after, it was completely red.

This...... This is completely the most naked slap in the face.

The imperial court was planning to borrow a knife to kill people and destroy Su Yu's Yangtze River fleet.

As a result, Yangyi's fleet actually retreated.

Su Yu, and let people go to Beijing to report a big victory?!

It was also at this time that the eunuch Wang Chenggui rushed in and said: "The emperor is happy, the emperor is happy." ”

"Concubine Lian, give birth to a dragon!"

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor!"

……………………………………

Note: The second one is sent, thank you, do you still have a monthly pass in your hand? Give me two, okay?
