Helplessly, the opposition is too high now, Li Hongzhang can see the problem, other ministers can naturally see it, Danzhou continues to develop like this, mainly to earn fame, if you let the trade, with Xuan Yuemeng's hand, making money can't be stopped, that is very terrible and Cixi, don't value reputation, Cixi is afraid that Xuan Yuemeng will get the substance, and the power will be bigger step by step, as long as Xuan Yuemeng has no territorial claims, Cixi does not take it to heart Comrade Empress Dowager Cixi is to seize power and enjoy himself, it is enough, If someone does these things on the basis of not shaking her dominance, she won't mind, mainly in Cixi's heart, Xuan Yuemeng has always been a person less than three years old, and the appearance of a tiger is too confusing.Empress Dowager Ci'an doesn't care about anything, she doesn't know anything about things outside the palace, or she doesn't want to know at all, she only cares about the emperor.During the period of Emperor Tongzhi, pro-government was more uncomfortable than not pro-government, without any power, he had to use his own name in everything, but nothing was decided by him, and even the only choice he made Xuan Zonglu the governor of Liaoning, and now it seems that he is going to be criticized."
Queen Mother, this Eastern Hawaiian Kingdom must have been invested and created by that Xuan Yuemeng, this is not a foreign company, this is an army, everyone think about it, which foreign company will develop the army, why should the army be developed, this is preparing to rebel" Prince Gong Yixun is not alarmist.All the adults discussed a lot, almost all of them seconded the proposal, in fact, everyone's heart is like a mirror, Xuan Yuemeng has come to this day step by step, it only took two years of hard work, it is really terrible.Cixi didn't have any change in her expression, she still gently touched the German pure pug, and said lightly: "Prince Gong said very well, I see that the court will be fully responsible for this matter, and the soldiers, horses, money, and food of the court will be dispatched by Prince Gong." ”Prince Gong Yixun was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly said: "The minister does not dare to continue to exterminate the Eastern Hawaii Kingdom, and he needs to appoint another capable minister, and the minister is overwhelmed" "Hmph, then you say, who is worthy of the big responsibility" The Empress Dowager Cixi snorted slightly and said.Prince Gong Yixun looked at Li Hongzhang, Li Hongzhang pretended not to see it, originally he was doing this, you say so, that is, I can't do it, you can fight, you have military power, that is, Li Hongzhang's Huai army and Zuo Zongtang's Chu army, Zuo Zongtang's people in the northwest to quell the rebellion, besides Li Hongzhang, who else Prince Gong Yixun also knew that Chen Qin brought back Xuan Yuemeng's diplomatic proposal to jointly establish a strategic partnership was agreed by Li Hongzhang.Prince Gong Yixun was in an irritable mood, so he simply stopped talking, "In short, such a small country must not agree to enjoy the most-favored-nation treatment, and it cannot be equated with the interests of the European and American powers.
I really can't solve it, just find foreigners, it has always been like this, this is also the main feature of the government of semi-colonial and semi-feudal countries, what is the matter with foreign fathers, and Prince Gong Yixun is very clear, except for Japan, which cannot be on the stage, only Germany and France have established diplomatic relations with the East Hawaiian Kingdom, the United States is the suzerainty of the relationship, the United States will definitely not let the East Hawaii Kingdom come to the east, and it is not convenient to directly fight hands, the key is that the United States is far away, and the constraints on this East Hawaiian Kingdom are not strong, and Germany and France are only buying and selling relations.
The key is to see the attitude of the British."
I suggest that you have asked Minister Wittoma beforehand," said Prince Gong in a loud voice.Empress Dowager Cixi said coldly: "Okay, let's talk about it, you still have to listen to the idea of Prince Gong, if you don't do this, Prince Gong will be responsible for it, others will do it, you are talking nonsense behind your back, and you yourself are unwilling to do it, I'm afraid it can't be said" "I'll do it, I'll do it, this errand, the minister will take it, but the court must be ready to continue fighting, such a small country, destroyed, just raise the ambition of my Great Qing Kingdom" Prince Gong Yixun is very responsible this time, he is still not optimistic about Xuan Yuemeng's strength, Prince Gong Yixun is also very clear, If Xuan Yuemeng is not extinguished in time when it is still very weak, Xuan Yuemeng in the future will definitely be much more difficult to solve than the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.President Meng founded the country in the name of Prince Richard Harris, but the paper can't contain the fire after all, this matter has come to this point today, the current attitude of the Qing court, will determine the life and death of the Danzhou Army in the eyes of the ruler, President Meng spent millions of taels of facilitation money, it is really nothing, take the money, still slaughter you, for the ruler, it is a small meaning.Li Hongzhang never spoke, watching the development of the situation, Prince Gong Yixun rarely took the initiative to take the initiative to find foreigners to administer justice, although Prince Gong's power has declined, but the prestige accumulated for more than ten years is still in Wei Tuoma personally came to the door and accepted Prince Gong's invitation, "Lord, this East Hawaiian Kingdom has been made by Xuan Yuemeng himself from the beginning, and I know this very well, but I am just a consul, and I must inform the UK of such a big matter."
Have you found a few other ambassadors?"
Prince Gong sighed, "I have found it, France and Germany have trade contacts with this Xuan Yuemeng, saying that it is inconvenient to participate, the United States is the suzerainty of this Eastern Hawaiian Kingdom, and directly refuses to mediate, Mr.
Wittoma, we are old friends, I did not help you less to order clippers and equipment from the United Kingdom, and I also took out a loan from your country's HSBC Bank last time, and I also mediated from it." ”Wei Tuoma stood up and bowed, "The friendship between the prince and our British Empire, as well as my personal friendship, I know very well, my lord, I sent a diplomatic note to the Danzhou side, hoping that you two will be peaceful, is this okay" Prince Gong's eyes lit up, "This is the best, however, please Mr.
Ambassador be more specific, let the Kingdom of Eastern Hawaii return the captured arms and in the future, you must not provoke the Qing Kingdom from me again, otherwise you will not take the British Empire into account" Wei Tuma smiled and shook his head, "Prince Gong, This request is over, according to the Convention of Nations, I cannot do this, and I have no such power, I can write to Xuan Yuemeng in my private name, only this, as for whether there will be further mediation, it depends on the intention of the domestic government of the British Empire. ”Prince Gong stood up and stretched out his hand, "Thank you very much, Mr.
Ambassador, I am relieved."
We must not allow such a small country to enjoy the benefits equally, otherwise, it will be chaotic in the future. ”The British Minister Wei Tuma nodded and said: "That's the case, this Xuan Yuemeng's appetite is getting bigger and bigger, I will tell the prince in private, our domestic government doesn't like this person very much, the last time I went to Europe, I placed a large number of orders to Germany and France, which directly affected the interests of my British Empire" Prince Gong was overjoyed, he really didn't know the news, the news of the Qing court was too closed, and when I heard Wei Toma say this today, I suddenly felt that there was a play, "I also asked Mr.
Ambassador to send a telegram to China, To put the matter more seriously, this Xuan Yuemeng, and indeed never put your country in his eyes, you must know that the British Empire is the most powerful country in the world, and Xuan Yuemeng has directly affected the status of the British Empire "Although Prince Gong's words are a bit exaggerated, the British Minister Wei Tuoma did not correct it, and Wei Tuoma did not take Xuan Yuemeng's personal benefits, but on the joint venture issue of the US Concession Wharf, on the issue of the development of the American Concession, many times, Xuan Yuemeng did not put Britain in the position of special care, andThe prosperity of the American concession directly affected Britain's commercial hegemony in the north, mainly because of Xuan Yuemeng's orders of two billion francs, which directly affected the situation in Britain and even the whole of Europe.t1706231537:
