Self Rescue of the Faint King

Gradually, the former Yang Guang, the later Mianning, and the present Minning, Emperor Daoguang had a new understanding of Xiaoguangtuan's ability.

Although he has arranged four merchant ships through other people's hands to go to the West, what he wants is to get that steam engine technology.Of course, the cultivation of various technical talents is also indispensable. If not, even if you have the most advanced weapon technology in the world, if there is no one, who will operate it?

It is a pity that no matter what price they pay, these foreign devils will not sell their technology to themselves, which is tolerable or unbearable.

Just when Emperor Daoguang couldn't hold back and was about to explode, Xiao Guangtuan quietly produced something more advanced than a steam engine, and it is said that he even registered a patented technology in the British Empire. Think of it.

But this surprise soon became a blow. Who made the technology mastered by the craftsmen of the Qing Dynasty too scumbag?

Therefore, even if there is such a technology, but the level cannot be reached, the depression in Emperor Daoguang's heart.

But obviously, after I have a more advanced technology, when I go to exchange secondary or more elementary steam engine technology with those foreign devils, the foreign devils are so enthusiastic.

Finally let himself out a bad breath, Gein Xiaoguangtuan told him that these technologies will soon be worthless, and they can make a lot of money now, so Emperor Daoguang didn't feel bad at all and sold these things separately To the English, to the French, and, of course, to the Americans.

However, no Chinese came forward, and I did it through Japanese hands.Although the Japanese desperately wanted this technology, Daoguang charged three times the price for the wolf-minded guy who was close to him.

It's a pity that the far-sighted Japanese bought it through gritted teeth, which made him regret for a while, whether he sold it cheaply.

Fortunately, what Xiaoguangtuan said is right, he can only hope that he is strong, not that his opponent is too weak, otherwise he can only end up in ruins.

With the first-generation technology, plus various technical talents scattered all over the world over the years, now, I can finally do a big job.

The ambitious Daoguang Emperor was soon poured down with a basin of cold water. The external resistance was gone, but the internal resistance was far stronger than he imagined.

A while ago, because the emperor was newly enthroned, everyone was waiting and watching, and was knocked out by the emperor's three sticks, but this does not mean that these people are completely powerless to fight back.

Now, everyone has freed up their hands, let go of the conflicts in the past, and started to deal with the emperor together. It is impossible to replace all the ministers.

Even the Hanchens who were the loudest before, joined forces with the Manchens this time, and almost the entire court was divided into two factions, the emperor and the courtiers.

These damned, shit ministers have eaten the guts of ambitious leopards?

Emperor Daoguang obviously didn't believe it. It wasn't that he was too radical, but that he really didn't have much time left. If he continued to argue with these people, who knows what would happen. Obviously, these talents don't care about the general trend of the world.

They only need to eat and clothe themselves, and the life and death of others should not be their consideration.

The courtiers are so corrupt, what should we do?Of course, there are also clans who mix indiscriminately.

However, due to the suppression of several emperors, most of the clans were out of a wait-and-see period, and not many took action in person.

However, there were two who were caught by Daoguang, the empress dowager's two sons, Prince Rui Mianxin, and Miankai are still in the inner court now, in order to allow him to enter the palace from time to time, and to be able to be with him. Meet the Queen Mother.

But it seems that the mother and son took their kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs, thinking that they are easy to bully, right?

Fortunately for Mian Xin, this Prince Dun, Mian Kai, is a ruthless bastard, and he got mixed up with the little Sula in the palace, and fortunately, Dao Guang caught him.

Now, if he doesn't die, who will die?

Originally, Daoguang didn't intend to have to fight with the mother and son. He cut off the opium himself. Obviously, they would be able to be honest for a while, but who knew that such a big thing would happen in the court?

Therefore, it is normal for the mother and son to show some signs of dying.

Since you want to die so much, don't you feel sorry for their thoughts if you don't help them?

Daoguang is obviously not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the attribute of vengeance determines the fate of the empress dowager, mother and son.

First, Mian Kai was dismissed from all posts and fined for five years.Next, the scandal between him and the eunuch in the palace was exposed and became the laughing stock of the Qing Dynasty.Of course, the face of the royal family was also completely lost.

Now, if Daoguang doesn't do something to protect the face of the royal family, then even the clan members will strongly urge him to do so.

So, with the help of the clan, Mian Kai was quickly imprisoned. Now, everyone stopped, and Daoguang became happy.

The wise people of the clan finally realized that everyone was being played like a monkey by the emperor. The good things they co-authored belonged to the emperor, but everyone did the bad things?

But Mianxin is completely honest. As for the Queen Mother, she is nestled in the Palace of Compassion and Peace, and she doesn't dare to take a breath. Finally, she knows that this person is really not easy to bully. Where is the benevolent Prince Zhi from before? up?

The queen mother really couldn't figure it out, but because all the servants around her were purged by the emperor once, so she could only be her mascot honestly.

After several failed attempts to quit smoking, the Empress Dowager finally gave up the idea of ​​opposing the emperor. Daoguang so insidiously made people put poppies in the Empress Dowager’s diet and forced her to quit smoking. It would be hell if he succeeded.

Fortunately, such a method works, and Lin Zexu's anti-smoking campaign slowly began to show results.

But obviously, these actions of the Qing Dynasty made the British government very dissatisfied, and it was finally possible to achieve trade balance by relying on opium imports.

Now, the newly appointed emperor of the Qing Dynasty actually implemented a nationwide ban on smoking. How is this possible?

Therefore, the British and French governments sent a so-called letter of protest, or a joint note.But for Daoguang, this is simply farting.

However, regarding the opening of treaty ports, Daoguang said that this can be discussed, as long as he can delay enough time for his own reform, he does not mind negotiating with these wolves.

The ambassadors of Britain and France were overjoyed by the reply from the Qing emperor. Daoguang also instructed the newly established Ministry of Commerce to come up with a general direction as soon as possible, and then formed a negotiating team to start negotiations with countries such as Britain, France, the United States, and Italy on the opening of treaty ports. policy.

The Ministry of Commerce is a new thing. Of course, the people here are all trusted by the emperor. The Niu Hulu family obviously got the biggest piece of cake because of their support for Daoguang.

However, the attitude of the emperor is still a little uncertain. Two ministers from the Manchu and Han Dynasty entered the palace to ask for an audience. Emperor Daoguang expressed his great satisfaction with the comprehension ability of the ministers, or the ability to speculate.

Next, there was a lot of gossip, even trivial matters, which were constantly brought up by the officials of the Ministry of Commerce of the Qing Dynasty.

Although countries such as Britain, France, the United States and Italy seem to have the same appeal, the benefits are not shared equally by everyone, so how should this tariff be set?The conversion between the currencies and so on.

In short, this is the first time for Daqing to discuss important international affairs with so many powerful countries. No one has experience, right?

So, let's be cautious, what's wrong?

When doing business, it is natural to pay attention to harmony and wealth. The truth is that everyone wins together. No matter what attitude the foreign devils have, the officials of the Ministry of Commerce of the Qing Dynasty are super friendly. Even if you point their noses and scold them, they will still I can do it myself, and then explain to you the traditions and rules of my country with a smile.

In short, the Chinese are absolutely the best in the game of gossip, and the topic will soon be distorted. When the foreign devils come back to their senses, it will be almost time today, and it is time for us to go to the office.

I heard that the emperor recently asked the Ministry of Criminal Justice to set a labor protection law with a four-hour working system. We, as courtiers, naturally have to actively respond to the emperor's proposal, don't we?

As soon as the voice of the Xiaya came out, these officials immediately changed their faces, the previous harmonious atmosphere had long since disappeared, and they saw off the guests with a cold face.

As for the negotiation, please come early tomorrow.

Although the foreign devils business group felt that something was wrong, they were not monolithic. Everyone wanted to account for the bulk of the trade volume, so there was a loophole to take advantage of, right?

In fact, the officials of the Ministry of Commerce of the Qing Dynasty were not very official before. Most of them were shopkeepers of big families, or the heads of commercial firms. These people, you are so smart that you can almost count how many intestines you have in your stomach , isn't it just nonsense?

They can play with flowers for you, and the emperor expressed great satisfaction for this. If the ministers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are all so capable, why should I worry about it?

The Ministry of Commerce received the emperor's commendation order almost three times a day, which made everyone more motivated. Of course, they also understood that the emperor was encouraging everyone in different ways.

The emperor has seen all the grievances he has suffered, and next, as long as he completes the tasks assigned by the emperor, then the future will be bright, and it will definitely not be a problem.

But the grades are obviously to come out, and they have been procrastinating. The foreign devils are not fools, they will always see that something is wrong.

In the fifth year of Emperor Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty, Guangzhou became the first open trading port in Chinese history. However, for industries such as people's livelihood, the Qing government imposed heavy taxes on Westernization, not to mention luxury goods.

Every country has trade protection, and no one can say what is wrong, if they don't agree?That's okay, anyway, Qing Dynasty is big enough, we have been self-sufficient for so many years, in fact, it's not a big deal to continue to close the country, is it?

Now, the foreign devils can only hold their noses to recognize it.Although what happened was aggrieved, the result still made Daoguang smile.
