I can't die

Chengde is located in the transition zone between the Inner Mongolia Plateau and the North Plain. It has four distinct seasons. Although it is cold in winter, it is cool and pleasant in summer. There is basically no hot weather. It is a good summer place in northern China.

Chengde Mountain Resort is a large royal garden built successively between the Kangxi and Qianlong years. In order to appease and unite the leaders of ethnic minorities in China's border areas and consolidate the political goal of national unity, the Kangxi and Qianlong emperors of the Qing Dynasty spent about half a year every year To spend in Chengde.

It's just that with the passage of events, the marriage between Manchu and Mongolia has deepened, and the integration of ethnic groups has become more and more. The political role of Chengde Villa has been far inferior to that of Kangxi and Qianlong in Zai Chun's generation. As the emperor's summer palace.

Because Zai Chun had no intention of meeting Mongolian nobles when he went to Chengde this time, he rushed very fast as soon as he left the Forbidden City. Within ten days, a large number of people rushed to the Mountain Resort.

The bright yellow carriage, accompanied by thousands of mighty palace people, drove into the Li main gate of the Summer Resort.According to the old rules, Zai Chun still lives in Yanbo Zhishuang Palace, while Cixi Ci'an is in the Songhe Zhai as usual.In addition to the Yiqiangong people, the Nine Gates of the capital and the Shanpu Battalion A were following behind to protect the safety of the emperor and empress.

After entering Yanbo Zhishuang Hall, Zai Chun quickly asked people to meet with the American envoy. Prince Gong, who was in Beijing, immediately reported to the Prime Minister's Office through the Prime Minister's Office after receiving the news that Zai Chun had arrived at the Summer Resort. The United States issued a formal consent to the meeting.Once this letter of appeal was released, it immediately caused an uproar in the world, especially the British and French powers. Although they already knew that the Qing Dynasty had been colluding with American smugglers in private, they did not expect that the Qing Dynasty would dare This puts the matter on the bright side.

When the British envoy Pashaley heard the news, he rushed into the Prime Minister's Office of International Affairs in Dongtangzi Hutong in a fit of rage to see Prince Gong.Prince Gong looked at the unfriendly Pachari, and immediately smiled, and blocked Pachari with a word: "I have no control over this matter. It is our emperor and the two empress dowagers who made this order. I just A subject, how can he care about this?" Bacharley was itching his teeth angrily when he heard Prince Gong's tone, but it was as if he had punched cotton with his fist, and he didn't know how to refute for a while.

"What about your emperor? I want to see him."

Bacharley said.

Prince Gong smiled even more politely: "Oh, it's not a coincidence, the emperor of our country is going to Chengde to escape the summer heat, and he is not in the capital. Otherwise, I will report to you and ask when he will come back?"

Hearing this, Bacharley didn't know that Yi was talking nonsense, so he snorted coldly and didn't bother, leaving a sentence - "Prince Gong is very capable" and walked away, and within a few days, far away At the mouth of the Yangtze River in Shanghai, a very powerful "British naval military exercise" broke out.

Those British warships that had previously helped the Qing Dynasty fight against the Taiping Army, now because of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the United States and China, they have now turned from friends to enemies, blocking the estuary of the Yangtze River like a demonstration.

Li Hongzhang is now the governor of the south of the Yangtze River, sitting in Shanghai. When he saw this scene, he sneered again and again. He had already figured out that this situation might happen, so he immediately led 10 Huai troops to station along the Yangtze River coast to prevent riots. At the same time, he took [-] taels of silver and found the British Navy Admiral Ho Bo.

hehe!In terms of corruption-corruption-corruption-corruption-bribery, who can compare with my Qing officials?At the moment, after receiving the 10 taels of silver note, the admiral of the British Navy promised that he would never use force against the Qing Dynasty if it was not necessary.

In the 60s of the [-]th century, the telegraph network of the Qing Dynasty had not yet been established, so they relied on letters. It had been half a month since the American envoys received the credentials of the Qing Dynasty, and when the American envoys made preparations, It was mid-August when we officially set foot on the land of the Qing Dynasty.

In order to show that the United States attached great importance to the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Qing Dynasty, the person sent by the United States was Burlingame.Burlingame was a staunch abolitionist. In 1854, a group of people who opposed black slavery established a new political party, which is today's American Republican Party. Burlingame was one of the founders of the American Republican Party. Thanks to his help, the party was established in Massachusetts. In 1855, he entered the U.S. Congress and served as a member of Congress for six years (6-1855). On June 1861, 1856, he even delivered a famous speech "The Defense of Massachusetts", which provided important documents for the American Emancipation Movement.

Burlingame's current position is U.S. Minister to China, personally appointed by President Abraham Lincoln of the Army of the Union.

Speaking of Burlingame's trip to China, it was also full of difficulties and dangers.In order to send envoys to send credentials, the U.S. government sent a warship escort.Although there are only three warships dispatched, it is enough to show how much they attach importance to it. After all, the internal war situation in the United States is obvious to all.

Burlingame originally thought that the warship following was just to boost his momentum, but he never thought that just after he ran to the western coast of the Pacific Ocean, Burlingame was attacked by a group of "pirates".Burlingame stood on the bow of the ship and looked at the situation on the pirate ship through binoculars. He just thought it was ridiculous: these British people really knew how to deceive their ears, even if the British flag was not hung on the ship, they really thought he couldn't see that it was the British pretending to be ?Don't even think about it. The United States and the United Kingdom have been dealing with each other for so many years. Who doesn't know that it is the most mischievous in the world now.

"Hit! Fire!"

Since you want to be a pirate, then Great America will naturally have to come up with a way to deal with pirates!Burlingame gave an order, and all the sailors were put on alert and stood at their posts.As soon as the ships approached, "Boom!", "Boom!", "Boom!" There were several loud noises, and the cannons of each ship fired continuously. For a while, gunpowder smoke continued on the East China Sea, and the fighting was very lively.

When the two armies were fighting, suddenly, there was another "bang", "bang", "bang" gunfire, and another ship came from the coast of the East China Sea.It is the "Anqing" that has just been successfully built by the Ordnance Institute of the Qing Dynasty!

The "Anqing" steamship was the first steamship independently designed and built by China. It was made by Xu Shou and Hua Hengfang, skilled craftsmen of the Qing Dynasty, imitating the most advanced British warships. It was not only equipped with the most advanced foreign guns of the Qing Dynasty at that time, but also It is also equipped with four Armstrong cannons bought from Childe, with extremely powerful attack power, which is not inferior to the first-class warships at that time.

At present, the "Anqing" and the US warships flanked the "pirate ship" from the front and back, and the pirate ship was greeted immediately. Finally, the pirates saw that the situation was not good, so they had to flee to the Pacific Ocean in desperation.
