Self Rescue of the Faint King

Although the various changes in the Qing Dynasty were confusing, it was obvious that something big was about to happen. Naturally, this kind of change could not be completely hidden from people's eyes. Of course, the foreign devils immediately passed the news to the outside world.

But it's not too important. Sometimes being blatant is actually a manifestation of strength. This is unexpected, and I am not afraid of anyone. Therefore, five or six "Fen Yong II" set off from Tianjin Port in a grand manner and headed south. go.

Since they don't want to concentrate the main battlefield on the territory of the Qing Dynasty, finding a foothold as soon as possible has become the top priority at present.

There are Chinese people all over the world. Basically no one can deny this. Since the previous dynasty, there are basically countless people who choose to go to Nanyang every year to make a living, and these people are not completely powerless in the local area.

The diligence and resilience of the Chinese can always keep them alive, no matter how harsh the external environment is.

But now, Daoguang sent people to find these people secretly, not for anything else, just to learn more about the local details.

Although these people do not necessarily have any other courage, but to reveal a little information, it is not difficult for anyone.

The matter gradually settled down like this, and the British and French allied forces came very quickly. Of course, they did not start from Britain and France, but only concentrated all the troops stationed in Southeast Asia. Of course, there were also local hired troops. Army, or indigenous troops (most of these people are cannon fodder), and then quickly transported over.

The British and French allied forces were not idle before. According to the request of the British government, they began to block the sea passages and completely prevent the overseas trade of the Qing Dynasty.Of course, the Qing Dynasty was not idle either. The local yamen led people to seize the properties of foreigners, even though we could only get these small profits.

But it's okay to vent your anger.

War seemed imminent, both sides were angry, and of course, the consequences were serious.Emperor Daoguang sent a letter of condemnation, strongly condemning the British and French aggression and enslaving the people of Southeast Asia. He hoped that the local people would unite, resist this tyranny, overthrow their rule, and become independent.

I don't know how it was done. Anyway, most of the British and French colonies in Southeast Asia have heard this condemnation from the Qing emperor.

This is really adding fuel to the fire. The situation in the Far East was originally a mess, but now the Qing Empire didn't follow the rules, so it's no wonder they were there.

After everyone found an excuse, the first Opium War began. Although it was called the Opium War in name, it has nothing to do with opium after the smoking ban in the Qing Dynasty these years.

Daoguang personally went to Guangzhou to supervise the battle, which obviously greatly inspired the Great Qingshui Division. No matter what it was for, in short, this battle must win and never lose!

Britain and France thought that as soon as their troops came out, the muskets fired, and the warships opened fire, these bumpkins who had never seen the world should flee and be defeated.

However, what is the situation now, who can tell himself why the warships of the Qing Dynasty have a longer range than their own?Who can tell himself, where did the Qing Dynasty get so many sharpshooters?

Damn, who exactly collected this consultation?

However, they have obviously forgotten that a long time ago, someone warned them not to be contemptuous. Unfortunately, the invincible British and French allied forces in the world have become accustomed to this kind of surrender without a fight, and now they suddenly encountered a rival Those who are stronger, naturally start to panic.

This kind of mentality of the soldiers is obviously not conducive to their work. For the Qingshui Division, it is naturally a great test to fight against the most advanced British and French allied forces in the world, but why is the navy that is boasted by the world so invincible? one strike?

What is wrong with this?

Both sides are a little confused, this battle is really a bit muddled.It seems that Britain and France never thought that they would be oppressed and beaten one day. Of course, the two naval forces of the Qing Dynasty Nanyang and Nanyang never thought that they could defeat the mighty British and French allied forces.

This is simply the joy of the whole world!

So, no matter what, the war comes quickly and ends quickly, and India is also injured. They are provoking whoever they are, and they have to make trouble on their own territory no matter what.

Of course, everyone began to feel that the Qing emperor was right. The shameless invaders like Britain and France, India started a large-scale training and protest movement.

But obviously, this kind of thing will not hurt the British. As long as they don't make trouble, they can do whatever they want for training.

Anyway, this kind of meditation activity is nothing more than nothing in the end, and no one can do anything about it. As for riots, it is simply impossible.

At the end of the war, the British and French allied forces chose to retreat in disgrace, and the Qing Dynasty had no intention of continuing to pursue it. Anyway, our war was just, and it was just to resist aggression.

So, being too aggressive doesn't seem like a good idea.

After the withdrawal of the troops, everyone had to sit down and talk about peace. This is a bad thing. Although there are several treaty ports in Guangzhou and Fuzhou, after entering the Qing Dynasty, I found that it was not like the legend at all. The factory machinery here Even more advanced than our own, with cheaper raw materials, and even cheaper labor, how can I have any competitiveness?

As for opening factories and the like, the land use fees in the Qing Dynasty were set so high. If you say that under such circumstances, if you can still make money, it will be hell.

None of the businessmen is a fool, and none of us wants to do business that loses money, right?

But even so, there are still a large number of unknown foreigners who want to enter the Qing Dynasty and want to get a piece of the pie. These guys who don't know the situation actually control the country.

The big capitalists want to achieve their wishes, so the officials can only think of other ways. Obviously, after losing the competition of force, this is obviously not good news for the European powers.

It was possible to unite before, but now, the Qing Dynasty has started various cooperation with the United States, leaving the European powers alone. No one is happy, and no one benefits.

The most disappointed should be the British government, but now, they obviously don't care about the fat meat of the Qing Dynasty, and they don't know what happened. The colonies of the British Empire in the Far East began riots of varying degrees.

If there is such a situation in only one place, then they will not be surprised, but there are riots in so many places, if there is no support behind them, then where do they get their weapons?

But now is not the time to pursue these, the British government has begun to comprehensively suppress the riots.But it is a pity that the more the suppression is, the more intense the resistance is, and the scope is expanding, which makes the British government no longer have the experience to toss about other things.

As for the French government, the riots in the South African mainland were enough to give them a headache, so Britain and France were busy with their own mess, which bought Qing Qing precious time.

As for the United States, although I also know that this is another jackal, but it is still within the controllable range, so Emperor Daoguang is very interested in the cooperation of the Americans. Anyway, the cooperation is a win-win situation. never mind.

The two sides simply hit it off. After leaving Britain and France aside, the Americans had the opportunity to monopolize the fat of the Qing Dynasty. How could the ambitious Yankee be unhappy?

This move of sending away jackals and ushering in tigers and leopards seems to be all right now, but only Daoguang, who was reminded by Xiaoguangtuan, knows the danger of the United States.

However, instead of being wary of others every day, it is better to step up to develop oneself. The large-scale projects of the Qing Dynasty are constantly launched, and naturally a lot of waste is involved.

However, apart from deliberate intentions, most people turned a blind eye to this kind of financial expenditure. Obviously, the opinion is that the emperor is supportive, so everyone ignores it.

However, if society develops too fast, many problems will arise. After the material satisfaction is great, people's spiritual needs are obviously a big problem.

Fortunately, it will not be because of the lack of belief, but for the people of the Qing Dynasty, life is becoming more and more empty.

At this time, Daoguang ignored the opposition of his ministers and started to set up the Qing Royal Library on a large scale, which obviously won the favor of the common people.

Reading and literacy has always been a sacred thing in the land of China. Now, with such a good opportunity, it is obvious that everyone hopes that their children can jump over the dragon gate and become a master.

Of course, the emperor expanded the scope of the imperial examination, and the children of merchants who made special contributions could also participate in the imperial examination, which obviously won the appreciation of many people.In the past few years, the emperor overcame the opposition of his ministers and reformed the imperial examinations. Now it seems that it is a wise thing to do.Everyone began to praise the emperor for his wisdom.

The proportion of merchants in the Qing Dynasty has increased, and their role has become increasingly prominent. If they are not given corresponding recognition, even those old and stubborn themselves will not be able to stand it.

What's more frightening is that in the current Qing Dynasty, there seems to be a tendency for all people to engage in business. If in the future everyone goes into business and no one farms, what should we do?

Fortunately, they have a far-sighted emperor, and the Ministry of Household Research on large-scale agricultural machinery has not stopped since the emperor issued an order.

The money was spent like flowing water. As for the effect, it is not too obvious so far.

Naturally, there were a lot of gossips from everyone. Fortunately, the Emperor's unswerving support allowed the Ministry of Household Research to continue.

Obviously, the various changes in the Qing Dynasty, and of course the comfortable living environment also attracted large-scale outsiders.

The skilled immigration policy of the Qing Dynasty began to be implemented at this time. The country of gold in the Far East has always been spread in Europe and the United States. Now that there is a skilled immigration policy, many people start to apply for immigration.

The so-called skilled immigrants are naturally mixed, and no one can avoid this, but only three or four out of ten people can be attracted to the Qing Dynasty, which is very good.

However, this policy has also aroused the unease of the North Korea-China Advisory Group. Isn't it necessary to follow the wisdom handed down by the ancestors?
