Chapter 315 Your Majesty, I’m here to teach you how to betray the country! (Please order and vote)
"What? Open up Tianjin? Well, that is the gate of the country! We also need to completely liberalize the import of foreign cigarettes...\n..\n.\nYou, are you not afraid that all the Qing Dynasty's money will be exchanged for foreign cigarettes by foreigners?
?」
Xianfeng became a little anxious when he heard the advice of his good brother.
It is easy to talk about shared customs administration and agreed tariffs, but he is 180 times unwilling to open the Tianjin port and completely liberalize the import of foreign cigarettes.
"Your Majesty..::.:" Prince Gong paused heavily, as if he had made a major decision, "Opening up the import of foreign cigarettes will not allow foreigners to take away all our money, because, because we can also
Grow your own opium!"
"Grow it yourself?" Xianfeng was stunned.
It’s true that no one has ever suggested growing your own opium, but that’s completely rubbish!
You can grow opium by yourself, but you can also suffer from the poison of tobacco!
Moreover, the harm of opium cigarettes is obviously greater to the Banner people than to the Han people. After all, the Banner people have money and leisure, and only when they are bored can they spend a small amount of money to smoke opium cigarettes to enjoy themselves. If you spend the money this month, you will still have it next month.
There is a salary paid out.
Most of the Han people are too poor. The money earned from hard work is not enough to eat, so they still buy opium cigarettes? Are they really starving themselves to death? Who is better among the Han people who followed the Changmao rebellion? But the Green Camp soldiers who have fixed rations can eat.
Many are addicted to opiates.
If the silver is gone, it will become unpayable silver, but if all the Eight Banners nations are drawn...\n.
At this time, Prince Gong said in a low tone: "Your Majesty, of course I know the harmful effects of tobacco poisoning! But...:.\n.\n.\nBut the Eight Banners disciples have been abolished. It doesn't matter whether they smoke foreign cigarettes or not.
, no one can fight it. Even the Green Camp soldiers are already exhausted and can't be counted on.
Instead of expecting the Eight Banners to cheer up and the green camp to work hard, it would be better to introduce foreign guns, foreign cannons, and foreign generals to run the new army well.
This time the slaves were defeated in Yangzhou. In addition to being frightened by Changmao with a hot air balloon, Changmao also got help from Westerners. He bought foreign guns and cannons, hired foreign soldiers and generals, and trained a new Western-style army.
ah!"
"Wait a minute," Xianfeng interrupted his brother hurriedly, "aren't the foreigners not dealing with Changmao? Why are they still selling them foreign guns and cannons? Why are there still foreign generals and soldiers working for Changmao?"
"Does your Majesty know why the long-haired God-worshipping religion is fighting with the foreign Catholicism and the London Missionary Society?"
Xianfeng shook his head: "Why?"
Prince Gong smiled bitterly and said: "It's because the God-worshipping religion has quietly developed many foreign believers in Shanghai!"
"Ah? Foreigners also believe in the long-haired religion?" Xianfeng felt incredible.
Prince Gong sighed: "I saw a foreign priest and bishop publicly debate the Bible with the bishop Changmao in Shanghai. As a result, the foreign pastor and bishop couldn't argue with Changmao. In the end, he had to provoke a lesson plan, but he couldn't defeat Changmao.
Mao's followers have lost face...
"Wait a minute, Luo Xueyan just doesn't care?" Xianfeng had already discovered something was wrong, "How could he allow the God-worshipping cult to enter Shanghai?
Prince Gong smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty...\n.\n..\n. Luo Xueyan is now one servant and two masters!"
In fact, there are three masters...and Victoria, the long live empress of England!
But Prince Gong doesn't know yet, so he can't report it to Xianfeng.
"Second Master?" Xianfeng's face was pockmarked and ashen, "He surrendered to Changmao?"
Prince Gong nodded: "The long-haired Hong Ni made him the general governor of Shanghai, and granted him Shanghai County, Baoshan County, Jiading County, Chongming County, Nanhui County, Fengxian County and Chuansha Hall..."
n.\n.\n.\n.\nHe is considered a vassal town in Changmao that obeys orders but not propaganda!"
"He actually...throat...
Xianfeng sighed and fell into silence. Luo Xueyan was also a warlord in the Qing Dynasty who listened to orders but not propaganda. Now his territory of six counties and one hall has been turned into an enclave by Changmao.
What's the point of becoming a vassal town for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom? One foot in both boats, no matter who is in charge in the future, he will not lose the title of feudal prince.
Aren’t all little warlords like this in troubled times?
"Your Majesty...:... This is the book Luo Xueyan sent to you by his servant, do you still read it?" After Prince Gong said that Luo Xueyan was serving two masters, he conveniently handed over the secret book Luo Xueyan gave him.
I took out the box, but the seal on the box was intact.
"Let's take a look!" Xianfeng sighed and waved his hand to Ande Hai who was standing behind him.
Andehai took two steps forward, took the box, looked at it carefully, then tore off the seal, took out the fold inside, and handed it to Xianfeng with both hands.
Xianfeng took the book and opened it. After reading for a while, he burst into laughter and said several times: "Okay! Okay! What a Luo Xueyan!"
Prince Gong was a little confused by Xianfeng's reaction and looked at his fourth brother with his neck raised.
Xianfeng had closed the memorial at this moment and looked at his sixth brother who was looking up at him: "Lao Liu, guess what Luo Xueyan's memorial is about?"
What's going on? You can't possibly marry Wanzhen, right?
Prince Gong thought.
Seeing his brother's confused look, Xianfeng stopped showing off and said calmly: "He taught me how to betray the country in the book!"
"ah?"
Prince Gong was stunned.
Xianfeng smiled bitterly and said: "The teaching is not bad... Lao Liu, aren't you interested in Westernization? You can see for yourself...\n,
Your foreign affairs skills are far worse than his!"
With that said, he handed the folder to An Dehai and asked the latter to show it to Prince Gong.
Prince Gong took the booklet and started to read it. First he scanned it with ten lines, and then read it again carefully. After reading it, he looked surprised: "I didn't expect that this country can be sold like this...\n.\n

Xianfeng looked at his younger brother: "Lao Liu, do you think it will work?"
Prince Gong breathed out: "Your Majesty, I think Luo Xueyan's method is feasible or not, we can give it a try... It is nothing more than beggaring one's neighbor and diverting the trouble north and east, so that it can be called Yingying.
Yi knows that the Qing Dynasty is useful to them in maintaining their so-called world hegemony."
Xianfeng nodded, and finally a smile appeared on his face: "This is called using barbarians to control barbarians! Luo Xueyan's book said that the British barbarians are about to go to war with the Rakshasa Kingdom, and it is a big war, at least dozens of people will be killed or injured.
Ten thousand, no one can lose
At this time, we open Vladivostok to the British and barbarians, let them station troops, stop ships, and replenish food and coal, so that they can fight the Russian soldiers in the north and disperse the Russian forces. Then we can make good friends with the British and barbarians, and let the British and barbarians
The Yi regards our Qing Dynasty as an ally to defend against Russia!
In addition to selling the Rakshasa Kingdom to the British barbarians, we can now sell North Korea and Japan...:::.North Korea is a vassal state of our Qing Dynasty, and vassals have no diplomacy! Our Qing Dynasty decides that North Korea will be founded, and North Korea must be founded...
..\n.The Busan Luo Xueyan was talking about is located in Dongnae Prefecture in North Korea, close to Japan, and in the middle of the sea route from Shandong and Liaodong to Vladivostok. It happens to be a supply transit port.
Once it is opened up, both us and the British barbarians can benefit. The British barbarians can enter Korea from Busan, and can also penetrate into Japan from Busan.
And we can use Busan to obtain materials from North Korea and Japan to develop Ninggu Pagoda.
In addition, Ryukyu is also a vassal of the Qing Dynasty, but it is secretly controlled by Japan. On the surface, it pays tribute to us, but Japan secretly takes advantage of all the benefits and stationed troops in Ryukyu. This time Japan was oppressed by the United States, and its warships were shut down.
, we have a deadline to open the country, and we are just as exhausted as we were back then! Luo Xueyan suggested that we take advantage of the situation and take the initiative to open the ports for Ryukyu, allowing the British and foreigners to enter the concession area and build consulates...\n..·
By the way, go north from Ryukyu to oppress Japan and establish a country!"
Xianfeng paused and then said: "Lao Liu, this Westernization...\n...\nYou still have to learn from Luo Xueyan! From now on, you can forget about other things and focus on Westernization! You
My lord, I don’t masturbate either
Yes, the decree to make you Prince Gong was written by our Emperor Ama himself, and it is also placed in the box behind the upright plaque. It is of great significance! But don’t worry about that stall in the Military Aircraft Department, just go
Tianjin runs foreign affairs!
Now there is a Five-port Trade Minister in Shanghai, and Tianjin can also have a Five-port Trade Minister in the future...:.\n. Well, it is easy to confuse the two Five-port Trade Ministers. Let's do this. Luo Xueyan will be the Nanyang Trade Minister from now on.
Lao Liu, you should be the Minister of Commerce of Beiyang! The Huaihe River divides the north and the south. The trade affairs of the ports north of the Huaihe River belong to the Beiyang Minister, and the trade affairs of the ports south of the Huaihe River belong to the Minister of Nanyang...\n. As for the Beiyang ports, there is one in Tianjin.
One for Vladivostok, one for Busan...\n.\n·.\n. It’s left to you to negotiate with the foreigners! For the ports in Nanyang, just open another Ryukyu port and let Luo Xueyan negotiate.”
"Your Majesty," Prince Gong suggested again, "for major diplomatic matters, there must be an yamen that takes overall responsibility, right? Otherwise, Nanyang and Beiyang each have their own affairs, and who will take the lead in the end?"
"That's true." Xianfeng glanced at his brother and understood what he was thinking, "Well, I will make a decree that the Minister of Beiyang will be in charge of the negotiations between various countries... From now on, things will be discussed in Nanyang.
, and Beiyang has to nod!"
"A slave must live up to the emperor's trust!"
Xianfeng nodded and said to himself: "Luo Xueyan also needs to win over...:.\n. Or send Wanzhen to Shanghai for him!"
"Ah...\n...\n" Prince Gong whispered.
Chapter completed!
