Red Alert 1895

Chapter 801: Unwilling Guangxu

"Your Majesty, Emperor Guangxu seems to be unwilling to go to places where foreigners frequently come and go recently! Look, do you want to give him... If you don't do it as soon as possible, then maybe they will make a fuss next time, and that's all It's not easy. It's easy for foreigners to seize excuses to talk about things, so we might as well do it, so that we can all get stable as soon as possible. Otherwise, if foreigners grab them to talk about things, I'm afraid there will be no future It's so convenient! So, I think it's better to just find someone to do it. Anyway, no one will say anything at the moment, so we have nothing to worry about!" said Hu Ling, director of the State Security Bureau.

But Wang Guorui smiled plainly after hearing this, and said: "There is nothing to worry about. Guangxu is just a loner. He just has a so-called emperor's hat and nothing else. So we There is nothing to worry about, you worry too much!"

"But your majesty, he is an excuse after all!" Hu Ling said.

Wang Guorui shook his head again and said, "It's meaningless. There is nothing wrong with the so-called crimes. If you are weak, people will find excuses to invade you even if you have no excuses. If you are strong, you will have no excuses." It becomes an excuse. With the current foreign devils, what can they do to us? Can they still send millions of troops to gamble with us for Guangxu, the light emperor? They can't afford to gamble, and with their current capabilities, they can't at all They can send millions of troops here. Even if they send people over, the logistics will be enough to wear down their national strength. There is still a lot of bad things inside them, what do we have to be afraid of?"

"So, excuses are not excuses. As long as we are strong, it means nothing. Excuses will not become excuses at all. If we are weak, even if there is no excuse for Guangxu, there will be other excuses. We have no meaning at all. So being so anxious is just the mentality of a weak country. We are a big country. If you focus on these things like this, what's the point? Those foreigners use this reason as an excuse. We are not afraid. Anyway, they come whenever they want , I want to see, what can they do to me?"

Wang Guorui was not worried when Guangxu went to contact foreigners. Guangxu wants money but has no money, and soldiers but no soldiers. What can he do by relying on foreigners? He is not even as good as Shi Jingtang, the emperor of the past. Shi Jingtang still has his own power anyway, but this Guangxu's capital is not even as good as Shi Jingtang. You expect him to be the real emperor. As for foreign interference, this is not a problem at all. Since ancient times, it has always been the winner and the loser. Isn't it the last word that the fist is big? If you don't have the strength and people want to interfere with you, they can find excuses at will. If the strength is enough, even if there are excuses, they will not dare to mess around.

And in the so-called British Legation, Emperor Guangxu still begged Zhu Erdian here, and then hoped that Zhu Erdian could talk to Britain, hoping that he could contact Britain so that he could help him regain the throne. but. Could Zhu Erdian be so stupid?

"Minister Zhu Erdian, as long as you can help me regain the throne, then I will definitely reconfirm all the treaties signed with other countries. Even the conditions are up to you." Guangxu said.

Guangxu really had enough this time. He was controlled by Cixi since he was a child, and then he grew up and became a pro-government, but in fact the power was still controlled by Cixi. Why does he want to carry out the so-called reform so much? In fact, he just hopes to seize power through reform. Didn't he see that the Japanese, with the so-called reform in name, and after becoming a powerful country, can still hold power as a king? Guangxu's wishful thinking is well done. He thinks that he can regain his rights and gain a powerful country. What a great idea!

However, it was of no use. After all, his political level is much worse than that of the Empress Dowager Cixi. He himself didn't even understand his basic class in the Qing Dynasty, so he was foolishly making reforms. As a result, he was sold by Wan Guorui back then, and this was one of the reasons why Guangxu hated Wang Guorui the most.

Guangxu even thought that if Wang Guorui could support him back then, and supported him outright, then he would be able to complete the great cause of the reform now, and then he could become a real emperor worthy of the name. However, Wang Guorui sold him, and now Wang Guorui sat in his place at ease, but he was humiliated here.

"I will never make it easy for you, this rebellious minister and traitor!" Guangxu thought in his heart.

And Guangxu immediately knelt down without the dignity of an emperor, and then said: "Minister Zhu Erdian, as long as I can help me regain the throne, I will definitely fulfill all the past treaties with the British Empire, and even pay tribute every year to come to court every year!"

Guangxu is really shameless enough to say that he pays tribute every year. Anyway, for a former "big country" emperor, he has always paid tribute more than others, but now he is asked to pay tribute, which makes him think it is very It's humiliating, and the other party should accept it.

"We don't need any tribute from you, and we don't need you to come to court every year. Also, we are considering whether to formally establish diplomatic relations with Wang Guorui." Zhu Erdian said.

And Zhu Erdian knew why the British government hadn't formally established diplomatic relations with Wang Guorui before. It was because they were unwilling to lose their past interests like this. But now Wang Guorui has unified China, and Wang Guorui is not a country ruled by ethnic minorities like the Manchu Qing Dynasty. It is entirely possible for him to lead all the people to fight. And if the Europeans wanted to conquer China, how many troops would they need? One million, is it enough? Zhu Erdian has no idea in his heart! Not to mention whether they can win or not, the logistics alone made them pee blood. Moreover, sending a million troops may not necessarily win the battle, which made them all feel very depressed.

So if you want to be tough, it will definitely not work. The British think about how to enter the Chinese market. Now Wang Guorui is adopting a trade protectionist thinking, which almost excludes foreign goods from entering. If Britain wants to open the door to China to gain access to the market, it is impossible to do so by force. As for helping Guangxu, the British are not out of their minds yet!

As for the British going to an all-out war with Wang Guorui for those interests, it might bring down the whole of Europe. If they dare to gather all European countries to fight, they may not be able to win. If the whole of Europe is dragged into the water for the sake of the Manchu emperor, then it is truly mindless!

"Minister Zhu Erdian, you British people can't do this! He Wang Guorui is just a traitor, you can't support traitors!" Guangxu said.

However, Zhu Erdian ignored him. Obviously, the British people had a book in their hearts. It was definitely not worth sending so many troops for the sake of Emperor Guangxu.

And Zhu Erdian said disdainfully: "How many people do you think it will take to defeat Wang Guorui, it is difficult for us to do it!"

And Guangxu immediately patted his chest and promised: "Minister Zhu Erdian, don't worry, there are countless loyal ministers and dutiful sons of my Qing Dynasty among the people. As long as I ascend to the top, there will be countless people who are willing to crusade against rebellion!"

Zhu Erdian was even more disdainful, because he looked at this Guangxu. Although the Emperor Guangxu was still wearing a dragon robe, the dragon robe was obviously stained a lot. This Guangxu desperately wanted face, even though he was no longer an emperor, he still had to wear a dragon robe. However, Wang Guorui did not order various clothing regulations in the country, and Wang Guorui also abolished many class distinctions in the ancient feudal period, especially what kind of house and what kind of service. In the past, people of different identities could wear different things. For example, no matter how rich a businessman was, he could not wear silk or satin. There are also regulations on what kind of houses a few officials can live in.

And this is also euphemistically called the superiority and inferiority, which represents the etiquette system. But Wang Guorui abolished these, all kinds of clothing, and all the things that could not be worn in the dragon robe were also abolished. Now Wang Guorui doesn't know how to wear dragon robes when he's working, and he just wears some simple clothes casually, whatever clothes are convenient for him. As for what kind of houses the officials lived in, Wang Guorui also abolished them. As long as there is money, and the source of the money is legal, as for Guangxu, no one can stop him from wearing a dragon robe.

But he doesn't have so many servants and eunuchs to serve him~lightnovelpub.net~ he can only do it himself, so this dragon robe is also a little worn out and stained.

"If you still have such a so-called loyal minister and filial son, you, the emperor, would still live in such a miserable life?" Zhu Erdian thought disdainfully, this Guangxu was nothing more than hoping to trick other countries into fighting Wang Guorui, and then he would take advantage of the fisherman.

However, this Guangxu obviously overestimated his own intelligence, and also underestimated the abilities of these foreign devils. If foreign devils are so good at fooling around, then why did the Qing Dynasty still pay so much compensation in the Qing Dynasty? So this foreign devil is not easy to fool, he and everything are useless.

"Okay, send me off!" Zhu Erdian said.

Guangxu gritted his teeth, and immediately swore in his heart: "Even you, a foreign devil, look down on me. If I regain the throne one day, I will definitely not let you go. Now I want to learn from Goujian, try my best, and work hard." Restore the country, and then give this rebellious kingdom Rui to the extermination of the nine tribes, and then conquer the Quartet and destroy these barbarians! At that time, this world will also belong to me, all belong to me. I must be the master of the revival of the Qing Dynasty, Create an immortal foundation, and I will definitely be able to rule the world again." (To be continued.)
