Chapter 369: Strong in the outside world

   Chapter 369

  A few days later

  Red Fort, Lingxiao Pavilion

"Master, the police department awarded the Good Citizen Award to the brothers of the Chopper Group of 4. I followed your instructions and reminded them to invest in the terminal business. Into a shadow..."

   "Well, you can't treat the righteous people wrongly."

  Li Fushou nodded indifferently. There was nothing to say about such trivial matters. He strode to the back of his desk and sat down and asked casually; “When will the second phase of the development plan for northern Queensland start?”

"Returning to the master, the progress of the various departments is different. The publicity department has begun to build momentum and publicize the northern development policy. According to the plan of the immigration department, it will begin in November and will gradually increase its tilt towards northern immigrants. The focus is on Darwin and Keynes. In the three immigration distribution ports in Qingdao town, 2~3 immigration ships arrived every month in the initial stage. The construction department started almost in November. The elite troops transferred from each department were also put in place, and supporting funds were subsequently put in place. , And gradually release and start various projects on a quarterly basis. Near the beginning of next year, the prelude to large-scale construction will begin."

  "Yes, your secretariat organizes a special team to follow up. You can focus on this work."

   "Understood, I will continue to follow up."

Li Fushou nodded, opened the exquisite wooden cigar case on the table, took out one, Tang Shaoyi hurried forward to pick up the gold cigar cutter, helped cut off the cap, and then took the lighter and lit it. Go forward.

"thanks."

  Li Fushou took a sip of the cigar lit by Li Fushou, picked up the newspaper on the table and scanned it, and asked; “The former governor of the Dutch East Indies was arrested and imprisoned. What is the specific situation?”

"It should be the political turmoil within the Kingdom of the Netherlands. According to the intelligence sent by the Black Guard from the Kingdom of the Netherlands, since the signing of the "Singapore Treaty", large-scale mass gatherings have erupted in Amsterdam and the provinces of West Holland. Anger, with volcanic resentment, Sir Frederick S-Jacob was pushed out by the cabinet as a scapegoat, which may be the best choice at the moment."

   "It's a pity, this is a good person."

  Li Fushou commented without any sincerity. He took a leisurely sip of cigar, and let the strong cigar smoke drift around, which seemed a bit ecstatic; "What about the successor governor...what's the situation?"

"Return to the Lord, the successor governor has been determined to be Lord Ferguz. This is a parliamentarian. His political position is at odds with that of the conservative William I. According to analysis, it is the result of the compromise between the king and the parliament. Lord Ferguz is a businessman representing Amsterdam. The spokesperson of interests, analyzed from his historical behavior style, shows that businessmen are more than politicians, and they are very cunning and difficult."

   "Haha... businessman, that means everything is negotiable." Li Fushou understood from a different angle. Compared with the old Dutch nobles, they were more stubborn and inconsistent. On the contrary, the merchants were better at dealing with them. .

  At any time, strength is the foundation of speaking.

  No matter who the governor of the East Indies is in power, we need to listen carefully to the voices and concerns from Queensland, and at least show sufficient respect.

  Otherwise, Li Fushou wouldn't mind tapping again.

  "Which step is the war in the Indochina Peninsula?"

"Return to the Lord, after the third setback in the Battle of Shanxi, the French Expeditionary Force sent a fleet to attack Taiwan Island and the mainland coast of Fuzhou, Zhangzhou, Matsu and other places. After more than a month, they continued to conquer several places, which caused the Qing court to shake and the cabinet. Li Hongzhang, the Minister of General Affairs of the Northern Oceans, has advocated peace, and is currently at odds with the main battle faction."

  "How about the Governor's Mansion of Guangdong and Guangxi?"

"After the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi Province Gu Tingchuan made up for the loss of the Wuwei Zuoying troops, the Wuwei Right Battalion in his hand dropped to about 3,000, which has reached a critical point. Guangjitang has successively transported 4,500 recruits to the Guangzhou government. During the day and night exercises, it is expected that the army will not be formally formed until the first half of next year, but it is not going to happen right now."

   "Well, it's almost enough."

Li Fushou nodded thoughtfully, waiting until June next year, he can at most make up more than 10,000 students eliminated from the Young Eagle School in Guangzhou, plus the existing new army has 20,000, which is a powerful elite. The military strength is enough for Master Yue Zhang to stabilize the situation in Guangdong and Guangxi.

  Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Gu Yanchuan is a firm leader. The more outstanding the war on the southern border, the heavier the weight in the court, and the more he can receive the same attention from the current sage and the Manchu prince Baylor, as the minister of humerus.

  He was an important official of the Manchu and Qing dynasties who had repeatedly won battles with foreigners. He was also a great official of the border, and his weight was not inferior to Zuo Zongtang, Li Hongzhang, Zeng Guofan, and Zeng Guoxiang.

  After all, these ministers all started by suppressing the Maoist bandits. Among them, Zeng Guofan's Hunan Army and Li Hongzhang's Huai Army were the main ones. Their forces covered the southeastern provinces and northern regions. Even the imperial court had to offer comfort.

  Think about it

Looking at the urination of the current court, it is really falling against the wind. Li Fushou felt that he should take the risk and step in. Don’t follow the old path of history. He won on the battlefield but lost at the negotiating table. He can't accept such a bad result.

  Li Fushou stood up, turned his hands twice, thought about it carefully and said;

  "The plan is to send electricity to the Governor's Mansion of Guangdong and Guangxi...

  Yue Zhang Gu Yanchuan Master Tai Jian;

  Today's war between Vietnam and the North is continual. The French Expeditionary Force has attacked Taiwan Island, Zhangzhou, Fuzhou and other places. They are stubborn, but they should not be deceived by superficial phenomena.

  In France, due to three consecutive defeats in the Shanxi War, domestic public opinion is surging, and the former French cabinet collapses and bears responsibility for the defeat. The current cabinet urgently needs to reach an acceptable peace treaty.

  For the present

   Traveling thousands of miles and half ninety, the initiative lies with me and not with France.

  Li Gong, an important minister of the Northern Kingdom of the current imperial court, is known for his knowledge of the foreign sect.

  I think this person is eager for peace talks, and is afraid to send his hands to the interests of Vietnam and the north, and may even endanger the safety of the south. He fully accepts the request of the French state and opens the southern commercial port to calm the hearts of Westerners.

  All these things have to be taken into consideration. If they are really allowed to take advantage of the gap, the main combatants in the country will suffer heavy blows and decline, and they must not be careless.

  I have a plan today to break the game.

  Looking at the French warships raging along the coastal areas, it is actually hard to be a major disaster, but once you lose your mouth and agree to open a commercial port on the southern border, the southern border will open wide, and there will be endless troubles.

Gongyi rallied his courage and gathered his elites to give a fatal blow to the enemy in the north. Wuwei Youjun Li Ping could be the vanguard, Liu Yongfu of the Black Flag Army and Feng Zicai of the Green Camp could be the left and right armies. .

  If you can break the French army as a congratulation, if you lose, you will return to the place and stand by for help. This is the best strategy.

  On the occasion of the two ends of this first, if the public devotes their efforts to break the deadlock in the Red River Delta, all will be alive. The French state has to accept the alliance under the city to invigorate the hearts of the court and the people, and the good will be good.

  This telegram, my son-in-law bowed to him for the first time, and burned after reading it. "

  Tang Shaoyi wrote down the record of walking the dragon and snake, and saw that Lord Earl had no other orders, and immediately turned around to do something.

  At this moment

  A large number of clouds gathered in the originally windy and sunny sky, and the weather changed instantly after the earth-shaking thunder.

  Li Fushou walked to the window with a solemn expression, and saw dark clouds rolling in the weather outside, and thunders flickering in the dark clouds, making people tremble.

  He put his hands together in a bitter face in prayer, chanting words in his mouth, and looked extremely respectful.

  After a long time

   Suddenly, the clouds cleared and the mist dispersed, and the sky full of thunder light disappeared into the invisible, and it was almost nine days after the **** thunder descended and killed it to the scum.

  Li Fushou was so frightened this time, he was really sweaty, and he was speechless for a long time during the two-strike battle.

  He really crossed the line this time...
