Self Rescue of the Faint King

The emperor is in a good mood. Of course, there is another reason. In the history of the Qing Dynasty, or in the history of China, the first modern warship was finally built after eight years. According to Xiaoguangtuan, this ship Warships, in terms of combat effectiveness and scale, are among the top eight in the world (the combat effectiveness and scale of the Qingshui Division during the Guangxu period).

Although it was just launching, Daoguang was still extremely excited. He took his secret squad to Tianjin Port to check and accept his Daqingshui Army.

Of course, going to see the warships and to relax are also two incidental purposes. Always staying in the Forbidden City for a long time makes people feel depressed and aggrieved.

As for the news that the courtiers got, the queen mother was ill, so the emperor stopped court for three days in order to show his filial piety.Of course, it is also true that the queen mother was ill. Daoguang did not lie, but the queen took the concubines to fulfill her filial piety, and the emperor traveled secretly by himself.

This feeling of sneaking made Daoguang feel calm after a long absence. Xiao Guangtuan couldn't understand this. You are the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. The whole empire belongs to you. Why are you so excited?

But it wisely did not spoil Emperor Daoguang's good mood.

When seeing Fenyong No. [-], Daoguang and his party were still speechless in shock, and the owner of the shipbuilding family next to him was particularly satisfied with this effect.

He was secretly taken away by someone sent by the emperor. Of course, at that time, Daoguang was still Mianning and Prince Zhi. He studied abroad and returned to China to build ships. It has been more than eight years since he finally produced what the emperor wanted.

Now the emperor is shocked, and his heart is finally at peace.

Through the explanation given by the Admiral of the Navy, Emperor Daoguang had a general understanding of the range and capacity of this warship.

Although he also knew that the world was changing with each passing day, when he saw this huge iron lump, he was shocked.This is much more magnificent than the warships I used when I conquered Goryeo three times.

The rest is mass production. Does the current Qing Dynasty have the level of mass production?How many great Qingshui masters can be equipped?

Thinking that his sailors were almost trained on the creek, Daoguang was a little worried about whether they could get used to it.

But these are all problems that can be solved. When the Daqingshui Division is truly equipped, then even if it is a coalition of foreign devils, I will not be afraid to fight it.

Of course, this war is almost inevitable, whether it is foreign devils or Daoguang, almost all of them can be foreseen.

Although Guangzhou and other places have been opened up now, are foreign devils so easily satisfied?Don't their appetites swell with interest?

Even children know the answer to this kind of thing, let alone a farsighted emperor?

However, the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs joined forces, and then everyone started negotiating with the foreign devils on the proposal to open Fuzhou and other places as treaty ports.

It's still the same principle, drag it as long as you can, even if your dog died, and you are not in the mood today, it's okay.

Qing Dynasty is a benevolent country. Animals are naturally cared for. As the owner, he is not in the mood to work because of the death of his pet dog. If you submit a booklet to ask for leave, the emperor will naturally allow it, and maybe even let the Ministry of Household I will grant you a few taels of silver for the dog's funeral expenses.

In short, the emperor and ministers worked hard to achieve their goals.However, because of the unequal interests of the foreign joint affairs group, the differences between them are getting bigger and bigger. The national power of Britain and France is strong, but the Americans are not weak. As for Portugal, old countries like Italy certainly cannot show weakness. Is it possible that I should give up the part of the benefits that I should get?This is obviously impossible.

England is known as the "Empire on which the sun never sets", and it obviously has the largest colony in the world. Are you still thinking about swallowing up the Far East?

Are you still not satisfied with India?Representatives of countries such as the United States, Italy, and Germany have gradually become more dissatisfied with the actions of Britain and France.

That's good, Daqing is really not afraid that you don't have conflicts, as long as there are conflicts, even if they are as big as the tip of a needle, we can expand to the size of an elephant.

Since there is a problem within the delegation, it is natural for the negotiation to be suspended, and the responsibility is not on us.

Daoguang's three years, in fact, is the fourth year of Daoguang's reign, and everything seems to be on the right track. For the joint opposition of courtiers, Daoguang adopted a super simple method, that is, to change.

Veterans, after the age of 65, please retire and return to your hometown.What?If you pretend to be deaf and dumb and don't understand, then your son, your student, your fellow countryman, your in-laws, there will always be one, and the emperor will be dismissed, dismissed, investigated, and sent to prison for various reasons. Yes, in short, you will be involved no matter what, don't worry, the emperor is very kind, he just asked you to abdicate to let the virtuous, and let younger and more capable people who have not yet completely decayed enter the court.

Letting young, aggressive, and quick-accepting courtiers who can quickly accept new things enter the court will have an obvious impact on this ancient empire.

Get rid of those corpses and vegetarians, and the rest will be able to do it. It is useful, it depends on your attitude as an emperor.

Then use it well, even if it is a waste, it can also play a role. The veterans formed a so-called advisory group, and there was only one thing, that is, swearing.

For young people, respect for the elderly is still necessary, so no matter who it is, it is natural to refer to the opinions of the advisory group. This approach is to let young people be more cautious and not be too radical, otherwise they will go in the wrong direction Well, it's not just them who have to pay the bill, but also myself, who is the emperor, and the people of the huge Qing Empire. Ordinary people also have to bear such consequences.

Therefore, when to be aggressive and when to be safe, obviously, apart from the emperor who is at the helm, it is these old officials.

Although their appearance of relying on the old to sell the old is very annoying, some experience is still very practical. The emperor's approach is a good transition. After this group of courtiers grow up, these old guys can really retire.

Daoguang praised Xiaoguangtuan's proposal. Many times, Xiaoguangtuan can provide him with various ideas, and the cooperation between the two becomes more and more enjoyable.

In the fifth year of Daoguang period, the Qing Dynasty's first newly equipped navy set sail in Tianjin Port, escorting the Qing's negotiating team to Guangzhou, Fuzhou and other places to inspect the current status of the treaty ports.

Of course, this is just an excuse, it's just the emperor's act of wanting to show off his sword, and he went to show off his power, but obviously, this appearance was very successful, not only his own people were shocked, but also the well-informed foreign devils. When the Qing Dynasty possessed such advanced warships, it also expressed its amazement.

It seems that this emperor is a man of great insight.

This kind of news, of course, should be passed back as soon as possible. As for the policies that one's own country will adopt, that's what the big shots should worry about. Although he looks like a big shot, the real decision-makers won't follow him. .At this time, the telegraph line in Guangzhou was cut off. After more than ten days of tossing, it finally worked.

Obviously, the appearance of Fenyong No. [-] gave the soldiers and civilians of the Qing Dynasty more confidence. The first newspaper in the Qing Dynasty hosted by the Guozijian——"Daqing Weekly" not only published the news, but also printed photos of the warship.

The warships in the photos look high-end and upscale, which makes people feel very excited. Obviously, the emperor's enterprising spirit has given more people confidence.

In the past few years, although there has been a small problem of banditry, but because of the emperor's determined reforms, everyone can gradually eat their stomachs and have work to do, so who would want to rebel?

As for the small-scale banditry, it will be unstoppable at any time, so Daoguang will ignore it, or send his secret troops to suppress bandits and train soldiers, which is not bad.

Days passed, and when Daoguang was full of ambition, someone finally couldn't sit still. Everyone felt that the Qing Dynasty could not be allowed to continue to develop like this. country.

Therefore, Britain, France and other countries have been secretly connected. Of course, the main countries are Britain and France. When Daoguang got the news from Xiaoguangtuan, he couldn't help but dropped the paperweight on his desk.

What the hell, he already knows that these are unfamiliar white-eyed wolves. Since you want to fight, then I will fight. Let's fight to the death.

But is there any way to get rid of it?

For example, the Black Death that Europeans cannot resist?

Daoguang's ruthlessness made the system gasp. It seems that this guy was so depressed in Daqing, that's why he came up with such an idea.

But obviously, there are still restrictions on things that are too insidious, so there are small-scale viruses, but they don't have those that can spread on a large scale.

Xiao Guangtuan's answer made Daoguang a little depressed. Could it be that he had to wait for those people to call, and then use his life to make up for the difference?

Fortunately, even if the British and French allied forces want to fight in, it is not too easy. Daoguang's mind is on Southeast Asia. If he puts the battlefield in India or other places, he can still accept it.

But I'm afraid this is not too easy.

But fighting is nothing more than a matter of money and people. Before weapons of mass destruction appeared, it was basically a matter of manpower.

It has been six years since Daoguang succeeded to the throne. The first two years were basically a large-scale ban on smoking. Basically, he was rectifying the Eight Banners, abolishing the Green Camp, and reorganizing and training the new army.Although some results have been achieved over the years, and opium has been banned on the surface, but it is nonsense to completely eliminate it.

However, even if the combat effectiveness of the army has been greatly improved, compared with foreigners, it still lacks a lot.At least in terms of experience, the gap is not small.

Fortunately, there are not too few military officers who have been sent abroad in recent years, which may make up for one or two.

As for weapons, although there are also large-scale developments, it is obviously impossible to equip the army on a large scale.

So on the whole, the Qing Dynasty and the British and French allied forces are probably only four or six. After all the calculations, no matter what, they are all losers!
