In the late Qing Dynasty, it was in the Empress Dowager Cixi's incomparable mutual restraint that it was struggling to support, and it was also in this set of means that caused incomparable internal friction that the country fell into the bottomless abyss step by step, but the country has rotted to the roots, and it is all blamed on Cixi alone, and Young Master Meng also disagrees, and it is necessary to look at Cixi as a person and as a woman, in order to understand many seemingly absurd policiesCixi's destination is actually very simple, but it is just to hold power.Young Master Meng was actually faintly aware of the Empress Dowager Cixi's unhappiness, and felt that he had just been in the limelight, but there was no regret medicine in the world and, even if there was a regret medicine, Young Master Meng would not regret it, he had to do that just now, because, the matter of sending foreign students is too important for him, compared to money, Young Master Meng values people more, you can continue to earn money and grab money if you don't have money, people don't have it, and if you want to cultivate, it's not that money can do it.
If he can't take this ride, with his own interpersonal relationships, he will definitely not be able to do this, because the U.S. consulate told him that this matter must be done by the Qing court, although this is not a big deal, but it is an agreement between countries that can only be reached like buying a ship, Young Master Meng's money, now buy it with his eyes closed, and he can also buy two giant ironclad ships, and be equipped with enough shells, however, which country will sell to a trading house, these things are all important weapons of the country, Every country is protected to the death.Young Master Meng wants to buy hundreds of guns, and it is still a very backward breech gun, and it is still quite difficult, and he has to secretly pour it back and forth from various foreign companies to be able to achieve it.Master Meng pinched the soft and boneless little hand of Meng Jiegege, honestly, and sat beside him in a regular manner, as if he hadn't said anything just now, try to make up for it with a low profile, and the young master Meng was worried about it, Young Master Meng is the kind of person who has finished doing things, and loves to review what he did just now, at this time, his heart has long been replaced by fear The joy he played in front of the ministers just now.The Empress Dowager Cixi heard that Xu Tong and Li Hongzhang had expressed their positions, and knew that this matter was settled, so she said softly: "Then, Li Zhongtang, you can draw up a plan, and this matter will be handed over to your Beiyang Yamen to handle, and it will be handled as a general trade affair." ”Li Hongzhang was secretly overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Obey the Empress Dowager's decree." ”Originally, this wedding banquet was quite successful, Zuo Zongtang saw that such a difficult thing as sending students to go abroad had been solved, and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, since this prodigy in Tianjin is so magical, Wei Chen played the matter of inviting the northwest to use troops, and I also want to ask the prodigy to see, can I come up with any way to solve the urgent need of the imperial court" Young Master Meng sweated profusely, out of Nima's method, you are millions of taels, tens of millions of taels of silver, Lao Tzu helped you out of Nima's method This is a matter of money, it is related to money, or such a big sum of money, Who can give you an ideaIn fact, there is only one solution to this kind of thing, that is, borrowing foreign debts, the Qing court has long borrowed too many foreign debts, but with the Qing court's ability to repay, it has not hurt the muscles and bones at this time In the original history, the Qing court was the most hurtful and could not get up, that is, there was no treaty of Shimonoseki in the First Sino-Japanese War, and the Qing court could still be happy for many years.The Taiping Revolution reached the peak of China's old-style peasant war, which was dominated by the idea of peasants demanding power-sharing, which was different from the rebellion war at the end of the previous dynasty, which dealt a heavy blow to the reactionary rule of the Qing Dynasty and accelerated the decline and collapse of the Qing Dynasty.Third, it struck at foreign invaders and hindered the process of China's semi-civilian localization, if it had not been for the Taiping Rebellion, if it had not been for the foreign devils to see the power of the Chinese people, the Qing court would have defeated the country long ago, and the spirit of resistance of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom inspired the will of the Chinese people to fight revolutionally, if it were not for the lack of clear ideology as the leading factor, there would have been a chance to accelerate the process of China's modernization for many years and even have a chance to push China into the capitalist era Fifth, The Taiping Revolution was also part of the revolutionary struggle of the people of the world at that time, which promoted the national liberation movement in Asia and also shook the European continent.It has great significance in the whole world, and many half buckets of water in later generations, desperately smearing the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, talking about the private lives of the leaders, the young master Meng disagrees, the small people have the inferior roots of the small people, but they can't use small things to erase the positive meaning of the entire Taiping Heavenly Kingdom uprising The Empress Dowager Cixi was slightly displeased, a topic, must be led by her, the administrator, however, Zuo Zongtang has made outstanding achievements, and he has already said it at this time, so he can't be regarded as not hearing it, so he has to follow Zuo Zongtang's words: "Yue Meng, do you have any way?"
Young Master Meng immediately said: "Thank you Lord Zuo for your love, you also think too highly of me, just now I sent students to go abroad, it happened that I knew a little bit, so I said a little bit of superficial views, the major affairs of the court, the military plan, I am a vulgar person, how dare I participate indiscriminately, please forgive Lord Zuo" Empress Dowager Cixi said in her heart, this child is too smart, but the more this is the case, the more people don't like it, he knows too much about the importance Zuo Zongtang is a rectum, and wants to use soldiers in the northwest. has made Zuo Zongtang almost enchanted, and he once gave Yue Meng a priceless red jade jade pendant, feeling that he likes Yue Meng so much, Yue Meng helped him come up with an idea, and he should have it, and he didn't think about it, this idea, can a child come up Li Hongzhang and Li Hongzao are anxious for Yue Meng, and the two of them also secretly scolded this Zuo Zongtang in their hearts, how can they let a child take the lead in such a big military event on such an occasion, don't say that Yue Meng has no idea, even if she knows how to do it, I can't say anything, but the two of them stand in the position of the minister, and on such a major occasion, they have no ability to stop Zuo Zongtang.Zuo Zongtang said loudly: "Yuemeng, it doesn't matter if you don't know the situation, let me briefly say that as early as the fifth year of Tongzhi, Tsarist Russia reached an informal agreement with the Agubo regime, agreeing not to interfere in each other's actions and giving each other the right to enter the country to hunt down fugitives.Shortly thereafter, Tsarist Russia seized the two Karens west of the Khorgos River, took control of the Turks Valley in the upper reaches of the Ili River, and continued to carry out armed provocations.In July of the ninth year of Tongzhi, the Russian army occupied the Muzart Mountains and choked the throat of Ili leading to southern Xinjiang.At the beginning of May of the 10th year of Tongzhi, when Tsarist Russia took advantage of Agubai's invasion of Urumqi and invaded eastward, under the pretext of stabilizing the border order, it sent Golpakovsky to lead his troops to drive straight into Ili and invade Ili on a large scale.On 17 May, it captured the nine cities of Ili and the surrounding areas.Divide the government and settle the country, settle the land, and colonize the Ili region.At the same time, it sent troops to expand in all directions, controlling the western part of the Junggar Basin from Tacheng and Emin River in the north to Jinghe and Kurkha Lawusu in the south, and infiltrated other places.If the imperial court does not curb it, there will be no peace in the north, and even, even the Beijing division will be threatened, and the northwest half of the Qing Dynasty has fallen into the invasion of foreign enemies" Young Master Meng Khan, although he was shocked to hear it, he knew that the situation in the northwest had deteriorated so much, but, you tell me this, what can I do, you are neurotic, force me like this in front of so many people, and die Young Master Meng lowered his head sullenly.Empress Dowager Cixi looked at Xuan Yuemeng, and also said: "Yuemeng, since Lord Zuo values your opinion so much, you can talk about it" Young Master Meng Khan, Cixi also came to force herself, I said that Mao Ah saw Emperor Tongzhi looking at his strange eyes, and he was even more chilled in his heart, special mother, I am waiting to see myself ugly, at this time, it is wrong to say it, and it is wrong not to say it.Young Master Meng stubbornly said: "The land of the Great Qing Dynasty is sacrosanct, come one, fight one, since the strong enemy has invaded, resolutely kill it all This is my opinion as a citizen of the Great Qing Dynasty, it can't be true, it can only represent me personally." ”Zuo Zongtang was overjoyed, what he wanted was this sentence, what he wanted was this attitude, and hurriedly asked: "However, the household department has been pushing that there is no silver two, how should it be" should be when Young Master Nima Meng scolded Zuo Zongtang angrily in his heart, and asked Lao Tzu everything, Lao Tzu is the emperor, or Lao Tzu is the empress dowager" I don't know" Young Master Meng directly closed the door this time, just said his opinion, that is the minimum national integrity of a Chinese, and further down, Lao Tzu can't care, and then down, Isn't it just for me to donate gold to you, I heard them say that they wanted seven million taels last time, but the household department couldn't even take out one million taels, I know what to do Wen Xiang said with a smile: "The prodigy is not a fairy, Lord Zuo, the household department has no silver, can you let a child give you silver" Zuo Zongtang said angrily: "Even if the land is violated, you can ignore it, then why do your prime minister Yamen and Beiyang Yamen still keep breaking the fold to establish a steamship China Merchants Bureau and form a navy, your expenses will not be less than that of the northwest army, I only need seven million taels."
Wen Xiang smiled bitterly, "I saw it, I kindly persuaded him, he came to me, the house was broken, so he tried his best to repair it, complaining about what's the use, I heard that Lord Zuo's Fuzhou Shipping Bureau has lost a lot of Qing Dynasty silver, what have we said, if we save the money of the Fuzhou Shipping Bureau, let alone use troops in the northwest, even with the steamship China Merchants Bureau, the money is enough" Zuo Zongtang said angrily: "What am I doing to you, as long as you can take out the silver to resist foreign insults, I, Zuo Zongtang, just kneel down for you, what if my Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau loses money, it's better than you fooling around with this and that all day long, I at least got something out of you, you guys in addition to spending money, what do you have to get out" With Zuo Zongtang's grief and indignation, Young Master Meng is also a little disgusted, you have such a sense of honor, you go on your own Hu Xueyan is not without money, you are not without money in your hands, what are you doing here, but, Young Master Meng thinks that it must be given priority to the use of troops in the northwest, There is nothing to argue about at all about coastal defense and blockade defense, there is no blockade defense, there is no army, so if you come to the navy, you can't climb it, so you can learn why not directly develop the air force in a country like China, which has developed the army to the second-rate level in Europe, and all the aggressors have run out.Young Master Meng also thinks that Zuo Zongtang is not good, but he really can't, you can make up a little bit first, as the governor's mansion, first get some money on your own one-acre and three-point land.Master Meng knows the details of these people, no one is short of money, and they really want to do something for the country, but, among these things, is there any personal selfishness in the end?
