Self Rescue of the Faint King

Chapter 31 Daoguang 6

The emperor felt very reconciled, but what if he was not reconciled?

In recent years, although the national treasury is not as empty as in previous years, everything the emperor does requires a lot of money. Although there are tax subsidies, the country is still in a state of debt, that is to say , I was eating enough food for free, and now, there is going to be a war again. Could it be that the sky is going to kill me?

The emperor led the ministers of various ministries to carefully calculate his family's fortune, and then came to such a conclusion. So, it is actually very easy to become a king of subjugation, isn't it?

Why did I have to be so unlucky to come to this inexplicable dynasty?

Yang Guang, who used to be Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, was aggrieved. There is no blue queen anymore.

The emperor's heart was not high, and everyone dared not speak out, so don't put yourself in it, but Daoguang was even more angry when everyone was trembling!

Could it be that in the eyes of these people, he is a tyrant?Hmph, if one person present counts as one person, a one-day fine will be regarded as saving money for the country.

The emperor's joke-like punishment made everyone laugh. Although they didn't know why the emperor was in a bad mood, everyone didn't have much opinion on his punishment.

Even if everyone had a good time.

However, the emperor did not tell the ministers the news that the war was coming, and there might be room for improvement, so there was no need to panic people immediately.

The current Qing Dynasty obviously cannot withstand any big twists and turns.But even if Daoguang wanted to compromise, current events would not allow him to back down.

Daoguang was simply unbearable for the ambitious little Japanese country to want to get involved in the affairs of the Qing Dynasty. In this case, it might be a good idea to fight Japan!

Of course, fighting a war is not so easy. Daoguang knows the importance of today's Goryeo to the small Wa country.Now Wa country has not completely controlled Goryeo.

Goryeo itself fell into internal strife, so Daoguang wanted to use his status as the suzerain to put pressure on Goryeo, so that the little Wa country would get into chaos first.

Goryeo has become the product dumping base and gold production place of the Japanese country. Daoguang was so embarrassed when he knew about it. I am so poor here, and the small Japanese country dared to take money from its own pocket. It is really unbearable What can't be tolerated!

Therefore, after Daoguang put forward the rhetoric of war, everyone talked a lot, should we fight or make peace?The court was divided into two factions, and they quarreled endlessly. Fortunately, everyone was discussing the matter with a positive attitude, which made Daoguang feel a little refreshed. It seems that he was right to eliminate the veterans, at least not It's a good thing to worry about those old stubborn people coming out to do bad things.

Emperor Daoguang listened to the courtiers' arguments, and then thought bitterly.

"My Majesty, there are [-] sharpshooters in the Shenji Battalion, ready to go into battle at any time."

"Report to the emperor, the Qing Beiyang Navy has 35 warships and [-] soldiers, ready to go into battle at any time."

"Report to the emperor, the Qing Nanyang Navy has 48 warships and [-] soldiers, ready to go into battle at any time." (The above information is slightly improved on the basis of Shenjiying, Beiyang and Nanyang Navy.)

Fortunately, his combat power is in the east, which is top-notch, so in this battle with the little devil, he must win beautifully, which can be regarded as a kind of deterrence.

As for whether the war with the Europa foreign devils will be delayed, Emperor Daoguang obviously can't guarantee this point, maybe it will be accelerated instead.

The war seemed to be on the verge of breaking out, and the whole country fell into two emotions of excitement and panic. As for the emperor going to the front to supervise the battle, everyone wisely diverted this topic. Emperor Daoguang wanted to show something, and no one mentioned this topic. , It seems that he is not interested in playing by himself, so it can only be regarded as a slip of the tongue.

Since there is going to be a war, the next step is to recruit civilians, collect food and grass, etc. In short, there are a lot of things, and it is obviously impossible to surprise them.

However, no one expected that Daqing would have such an efficient day. The expressions of the foreigners who were used to being delayed by the negotiating team of the Ministry of Commerce really pleased Daqing greatly. every official.

Hmph, let them despise the officials of the Qing Dynasty, and now it is finally a breath of anger, although the ambassadors of Britain and France are actively mediating with China and Japan.

However, the preparations for the war between the two countries will not stop because of this kind of mediation. On the contrary, both sides have sped up the speed. Japan obviously wants to challenge and try to be the boss. , then this battle is basically a foregone conclusion.

Although the ambassadors of Britain and France mediate between the two sides, they also have other thoughts, so forget it, let them fight, anyway, if two tigers fight, one will be injured.

It is also a good idea to weaken the strength of both sides.

Once the war started, casualties would naturally be inevitable, but the warships and naval divisions made by the family have withstood the test and accumulated combat experience, which obviously made Emperor Daoguang happy.

However, the situation of the war is not very good. Although I have more advanced technology in the world, but the level of the navy cannot keep up, it is futile.

After half a year, it was obvious that Japan, which was small and weak, was the first to be unable to support it, so it proposed to have peace talks.

Instead, Daoguang didn't want to negotiate anymore, so he brought together the two naval divisions of Nanyang and Beiyang, concentrated their superior forces, and started the war of annihilation.

Although he also died, the Qing Dynasty had a large population base, and although he felt pain when he died, compared to him, the little devil couldn't afford it, so this business was a good deal.

Little Japanese country, they will stop for a while only when they are hurt, so don't be restless by your side and be annoying all day long.

Of course, this was the case in Goryeo before. I didn't expect that after hundreds of years, there would be another Wa country. Daoguang's mood will be even worse when he thinks that he has failed in his three expeditions to Goryeo.

This time, the emperor not only did not retreat, but instead strengthened his troops. Anyway, the generals were happy, and the warriors shrouded their bodies in horse leather. It was a lifelong pursuit to die on the battlefield.But there has never been such a large-scale battle, so Daoguang naturally understands that everyone's blood is boiling.

The war lasted for nearly a year, and the Wa country finally couldn't hold on any longer. It just so happened that although the Qing Dynasty could try its best to support it, if it continued, it might hurt the foundation. So this time, what did the little devils propose? After the talk, Emperor Daoguang agreed half-heartedly.

Of course, why not talk about this kind of thing? Naturally, this kind of thing can't be started all at once. Britain and France have joined in again. Although the large-scale war has stopped, the local battle is still going on. Now, the Daqingshui Division has occupied Several islands in the south of Wa Kingdom.

Obviously, Daoguang would not want to spit out these things that were eaten into his mouth. This is all territory. War reparations, land cession and the like.

In short, the more cheap it is, the better. Anyway, this war is not provoked by oneself, and the losing party is not qualified to bargain.

For the sake of this talk, Emperor Daoguang asked Tianjin Shipyard to pull out the second-generation warship. Although it was just for a while, it still attracted the attention of most people.

This huge empire seems to be waking up. The expressions of the two ambassadors of Britain and France became more dignified. With the deterrence of force, the effect of the peace talks will be even better.

Anyway, Japan is rich in silver, so the compensation of [-] million taels (the real data of the "Treaty of Shimonoseki") is actually not too difficult, right?

As for the cession of land, the Qing Dynasty did not ask much, but the few small places occupied by the Daqingshui Division are just four or five small places including Okinawa and Kagoshima. Not really a gut-wrenching thing, is it?

Other than that, the rest are just some minor details, let's go and talk about it.

Now that he has had the experience of negotiating with the foreign devils, and he has the prestige of being the winner, if he can't win more benefits, then the officials of the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can all die.

Although this is a joke, it is also everyone's true feelings. The victory of this war has won a lot of things, which makes Daoguang, who is fighting all the way, feel very good.

Of course, even ordinary people have greatly increased their confidence in the country. Since they can win the first war, then even if they are provoked, they can win more wars, right?

A strong navy is also a manifestation of national strength, but the Eight Banners are also a bit depressed because the green battalion is also a bit depressed. The navy is almost all recruited boatmen and the like, and it also broke the conscription system of the Qing Dynasty.

But the Eight Banners and the Green Camp basically didn't play much role.

The navy is so capable, will the emperor vigorously develop the navy in the future, and then ignore the Eight Banners and the Green Camp?

So, when it comes to interests, everyone's heads are spinning quickly, and no one wants to lag behind, right!

As a result, the argument that the Eight Banners are the foundation of the Qing Dynasty in the court once again quarreled, and Emperor Daoguang didn't pay attention to the noise of these people.

Since you want to prove the role of the Eight Banners, then pull out a team and let the emperor see the fighting power of the Eight Banners.Of course, the same is true for the green camp, if not, then just shut up honestly.

The navy is not quiet at all. Although the navy is the emperor's own son, his son's strength is still relatively weak. Without the emperor's support, his decline would be a matter of minutes.

Therefore, for the first time, the admirals of the navy let go of their quarrel with each other. Lan Hou took out the first five-year plan of the Qingshui Division. After Daoguang read it, he greatly praised the admirals of the navy Foresighted, Lan Hou gave a sweet date.

In short, after the Qing Dynasty, the annual construction of naval divisions will not be less than it is now, and will only increase year by year. As for the increase rate, it depends on the situation.

This time, everyone was satisfied, but the Eight Banners and the Green Camp were even more anxious, and then began to put in great effort to train their combat power. With such a catfish effect, Qing finally had the ability to protect itself.

But even so, it will take some time for Daoguang to completely purge the Eight Banners and abolish the Green Camp.

Although Emperor Daoguang also knew that there was still a gap in power between himself and Britain and France for the time being, he was not as clueless as before.

After three months of difficult negotiations, the first peace treaty between China and Japan was finally signed. The supreme rulers and emperors of the two countries attended the signing ceremony.

The scene is naturally grand, complete, and harmonious...
