Self Rescue of the Faint King

Chapter 34 Daoguang 9

"People who are not of my race must have a different heart", the ancestors have always emphasized, is it unreasonable to say that the wisdom that has been handed down for thousands of years?

Who would have known that there were no spies among these so-called technicians?They immigrated from outside without patriotism. How can this guarantee that they will safeguard the interests of the Qing Dynasty?

On this issue, the advisory group did not have the slightest fear of the emperor's prestige, and had an attitude of fighting for reason. Everyone seemed to be used to this kind of behavior.

Of course, the emperor's connivance played a big role.

The advisory group has simply replaced the duties of the censors, which is obviously a great blow to the censors, but in front of the old guys, no matter how hard-spoken the censors are, they dare not take any drastic actions. It's the energy of the old guys.

Daoguang actually doesn't care whether those people will protect the interests of Daqing, he just wants to use their brains, and besides, Daqing also needs this kind of communication, so as to ensure progress, otherwise, when he leaves, Daqing How should it develop?How to keep this lead?

Therefore, he thinks that this is cultivating the hematopoietic function of the Qing Dynasty. Obviously, not everyone has this vision.

Fortunately, the emperor's uncompromising temperament has also been realized in this matter. Everyone has opposed it, but the emperor is still arbitrary, so it doesn't matter, anyway, I tried my best.

Maybe the emperor is right, maybe he is too far-sighted, so everyone still can't guess his purpose, so everyone just takes a step-by-step attitude.

As for the future, who knows?

As the first son, the fourth prince is obviously the candidate for the first heir, but looking at the emperor's mind, it seems that the fourth prince is not overly valued, but the sixth prince, Yixin, is more favored.

Of course, the sixth prince's ability is also one of the reasons.

But wouldn't the emperor who was born as the eldest son prefer his son?Of course, the fourth prince can be regarded as a concubine, not an orthodox direct descendant, but now, his mother is the successor of the Qing Dynasty, so the fourth prince has the status of a direct descendant.

As for the sixth prince, it looks like the younger version of today.

This sixth prince has outstanding abilities, profound knowledge, and he is tolerant of words and martial arts. It is not difficult to accept the favor of the emperor.

The two princes have their own strengths, it's just that everyone can't figure out what the emperor is thinking.

However, with regard to the dispute over the reserve position, the clues have already emerged, and the emperor's policy of holding back the troops is really worrying.

So what did Emperor Daoguang think?

For the current Daoguang, the two sons have their own strengths, but at present, the sixth son seems to be more in line with his own wishes, but the ability is obviously not enough to control this huge empire, so he let him go. In the dispute between the sixth child and the fourth child, it is not the most important thing to win his favor, but his ability and knowledge are the most important.

No one can guess what the emperor is thinking, and the two princes seem to have an attitude of "each according to his own ability", because they know that what the emperor hates most is lying in the nest, so they desperately want to make some achievements.

But here comes the problem. In terms of ability, the sixth prince Yixin has surpassed the fourth prince.

If the Fourth Prince's mood can get better, it would be hell, but he has two strong support, one is the power of the harem, the mother is the current empress, who firmly controls the harem, and the other is the master.

The husband of the fourth prince is Du Shoutian, the censor of Zuodu and Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry. This person is deeply trusted by Daoguang, so he has far more speculation about the emperor's mind than other courtiers.

The Du family is naturally very prominent. As scholars, they belong to the top of the pyramid. They used to have the reputation of "Seven Scholars in One School, Five Imperial Academy for Father and Son". In Shilin, they obviously have extremely high prestige.

Du Shoutian became an official as an imperial examination passer, supported by a huge family, and appreciated by the emperor for his own talent. He has always been known for his diligence and reputation as an official.

With such a gentleman, it can be seen where the advantages of the fourth prince lie.

However, no advantage can match the emperor's favor. The biggest advantage of the sixth prince is the emperor's favor. Of course, he also has his own talents.

Therefore, this created a situation where the two sides were evenly matched. The emperor's appearance of being completely ignorant of the turmoil below caused the people below to complain endlessly.

Daoguang's mind, even if it was Du Shoutian, he didn't care if he knew it all, but the matter didn't reach the final step, obviously everyone had an equal opportunity, and they just had to work hard.

The battle for the reserve position in the Qing Dynasty also caused some fluctuations, but obviously within the controllable range, the emperor did not seem to have any bias, and did not allow malicious fights between them.

Therefore, the operation of the Qing Dynasty was still the same as before, and the emperor was satisfied now.The rest is just watching the show.

As for the establishment of a prince or something, anyway, he is still healthy, so let's wait and see, Daoguang has not yet felt that he has reached the point where he wants to establish an heir.

In the 20th year of Daoguang, the second war between the Qing Dynasty and Britain and France broke out. This war seems to have no signs to follow, and everything is quite abrupt. In fact, it is not the case. After the last lesson, Britain and France are obviously prepared this time Come, although the Daqing Shui Division has tried its best to escort the merchant ships of the Qing Dynasty at sea, unfortunately, under the comprehensive blocking of Britain and France, the merchant ships of the Qing Dynasty suffered heavy losses.

Now, not to mention the emperor, even the officials couldn't accept it. This merchant ship represented more than just a merchant's business.So the war is about to break out, and it was only because of a small ship conflict before.

Under such circumstances, a large-scale confrontation suddenly broke out, and no one wanted to admit defeat, but wanted to win or lose.

After these years of tossing, Britain and France are finally able to control the riots in the colonies. Although there are still small-scale resistances, this does not hinder the overall situation.

At this time, if you don't go to the culprit to settle the account, when will you wait?

Furthermore, the situation of the Qing Dynasty's foreign trade surplus has never changed. Is the whole world going to become the commodity base of the Qing Dynasty?

If things like this continue, do you want to watch your country's factories go bankrupt, workers lose their jobs, and cause greater social instability?

Therefore, this battle against the Qing Dynasty must be fought, but this time, it is clear that Britain and France have also learned to be smart, and they have attracted more allies, such as Portugal, such as Germany, etc. The more allies you have, the greater your chances of winning. As for when the time comes to share the fruits of victory, if everyone has a dispute, that is another matter.

But what reassures everyone is that the territory of the Qing Dynasty is large enough, even if each of the allies divides a region, this is enough.

However, what they didn't expect was that at this time, the United States was actually on the side of the Qing Dynasty, and the Americans were not fools. The more they cooperated with the Qing Dynasty, the more they understood the unfathomable nature of this country. Clear cooperation, obviously, they can get more, so Americans don't care who they cooperate with.

Anyway, the main battlefield will not fall on the territory of the United States, so I just play soy sauce and make money.

This foreign war of the Qing Dynasty was naturally extremely tragic. A large number of civilians were evacuated from the south, and then the entire southern coastal area became a battlefield.

The war didn't last very long. As the side that had always been prepared, the Qing took out deterrent weapons and advanced warships. Although they suffered a lot of damage, they still won in the end.

At this moment, the Allies were embarrassed. Everyone began to blame each other and shirk responsibility. No one thought that they would unite the forces of three or four countries and lose in the end of the war. This is really a huge blow.

However, the most important thing at present is how to deal with the aftermath of the war. Obviously, the Qing Dynasty will not let go of such a good opportunity to weaken the enemy.

After being instructed by the emperor, the negotiating team of the Qing Dynasty showed their aggressive side with the prestige of victory, without the demeanor of an ancient oriental power at all.

Everyone just rolled their eyes in disdain for this evaluation, the demeanor of a great country, what the hell is that?

When you launched a war, why weren't you afraid of the great power of the Qing Dynasty?

Everyone started to fight with each other. As the defeated party and the initiator of the war, it is obvious that they have to bear all the responsibilities.

At this time, Britain and France have become unlucky ghosts. Even among the allied countries, they also want to introduce Britain and France as scapegoats. Everyone is actively contacting Qing Dynasty. Anyway, Qing Dynasty is not the only one who wants to weaken Britain and France. ,

It is the United States, Germany, who doesn't want to expand?Who doesn't envy the colonies of Britain and France?Now is the time to share the fruits.

In this situation, everyone was dumbfounded. Damn, this is the legendary pig teammate, right?

However, the emergence of this situation made the people of the Qing Dynasty better understand the nature of these great powers, mercenary for profit, and inhumane at all.

If the Qing Dynasty was defeated, the consequences... Just thinking about it makes people shudder uncontrollably.Everyone's worship of the emperor has risen to another level.

The two-year war ended, and in the 22nd year of Daoguang, after constant wrangling, an agreement was finally reached.

Land cession and compensation are within the normal range. The most painful thing for the British government is the loss of the base in India. This kind of failure has begun to make the huge British Empire a little tired, and it does not seem to be invincible.

Of course, France is not much better. Although they were somewhat prepared for the situation of the Allies taking advantage of the fire, they did not expect it to be so serious.

Britain and France fell silent, Germany, Italy and other countries took advantage of the situation. Of course, there was also the ally of the Qing Dynasty, the speculator America. The success of this speculation allowed the United States to get rid of its status as a younger brother and began to become a force that no one can ignore. .

Fortunately, the United States is far away on the other side of the ocean, and even if the tyrants on the European continent are vigilant, they will not be too vigilant.

The main reason is that now that everyone has the biggest enemy of the Qing Dynasty, the Americans are naturally ignored.

Even if they got rid of the identity of the younger brother, it doesn't make people think that the United States can go anywhere. This is normal, and it is also in line with the positioning of the Americans. What they want most now is to hide under the wings of the Qing Dynasty. Accumulate strength, and then there will always be a day when you can reach the top of the world.

Daoguang naturally understands the ambitions of the Americans, but he doesn't think it is possible for the Americans to realize their ambitions. The Qing Dynasty can only continue to strengthen itself, rather than fear the strength of others.

Such a domineering declaration can only be uttered by a generation of outstanding people. Suddenly, all sentient beings deal with foreigners with the attitude of the heavens, and they can describe it more freely.
