Mingyue of the Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/                                                                                                                        

It was already late at night, and the editorial department of the Qing Daily was still brightly lit. The editors were talking happily. There were three meat and three vegetable dishes on the table, and two pots of good Maotai. However, these good dishes were ignored, and everyone was immersed in the topic of discussion. In this newspaper, anyone with discerning eyes could see that it was the place where the emperor cultivated pillars of the court in the future. Although these people did not have real power, they had the right to speak specially approved by the emperor and could speak boldly. The opinions they held were expressed, and no matter what was right or wrong, they would be innocent! Guan Xuqing often looked at the newspaper and looked at the editor's name. Who was avant-garde in his mind and dared to accept new things. He was transferred to an official within a few days!

That night, everyone was discussing the issue of France's active peace in the editorial department.

Among this group of people, the oldest one was Zheng Guanying, the head of the newspaper office, appointed by the emperor. At this time, he was slightly drunk and said in a daze.

"I won a complete victory in the East China Sea Battle. The French army would have no choice but to do anything to us for a while. Moreover, the French minister also proposed a peace talk. The question now is, how do we decide?! Should we recognize the rule of the legal person in Annan for this peace talks, or continue to fight and completely defeat the French. If we continue to fight, how much chance of winning will our Qing Dynasty have, how much loss will it cost, and what will happen in France? And what are the benefits of our Qing Dynasty? But I don't think much of the thoughts of the emperor, it seems that he doesn't want to fight with the French anymore. If we want to fight, we will fight again when our country is stronger in the future."

His words were immediately approved by most people. Kang Youwei, who was recently assigned by Guan Xuqing to enter the newspaper office, was full of energy and said with a double gesture: "I am very convinced of the emperor's thoughts. I read foreign newspapers these days. The French had already owned 38 ironclad ships, 9 shore defense ironclad ships, 50 cruisers, gunboats and 80 torpedo ships the year before. The total tonnage reached 500,000 tons. The world's navy ranks second, and this is the only one in the UK. If we continue to fight, we can win occasionally.

In the end, one defeat will inevitably be defeated. Only by seeking peace with victory is the justification. Now the legal person takes the initiative to seek peace, and it is probably difficult to mention the terms of cede land compensation. As for some people who are worried that the legal person will not benefit me from the Qing Dynasty after taking over Vietnam, I think it is a big deal. In the past, the British, the French, and the Russians wanted to share the Qing Dynasty. That is because we are not strong enough. As long as the Qing Dynasty can endure for 10 or 20 years, when the Qing Dynasty becomes stronger, the French will be insulted by themselves."

Everyone nodded and said yes when they heard this. Although they were unwilling to admit it, in fact, their generation was born with fear of foreigners. The more they knew foreigners, the more they were afraid. Because in their opinion, they were much worse in terms of political system, military power, national quality, and cultural level. The Qing Dynasty could not be the right thing for foreigners!

Only those martial artists who don’t know anything will kill foreigners as monkeys in battle! He doesn’t understand, so he is not afraid!

Seeing this, Zheng Guanying said, "Then this article about fighting and not fighting will be written by Brother Lao Kang! It will be sent to the whole country tomorrow so that people all over the world can see that the Qing Dynasty's tolerance is for the future rise."

At this time, a thin black young man sitting in the corner with black eyes stood up and said to everyone: "I want to tell you my simple opinion. I always think that my Qing Dynasty is not without it. Now the French Far East Fleet has been newly defeated and the warships are not in place.

Chaos rebirth is the king of another world http://www.77nt/23488/, as long as our Qingshui Division goes south to the South China Sea, we can control the sea power and cut off France's supply to Annan. At this time, the army launches a large-scale counterattack, and controls the entire Vietnam as quickly as possible before the French fleet comes to aid. In this way, even if domestic reinforcements come to France, it will be a rootless tree and will not last long."

This black and thin young man is Yan Fu, a talented student from Weihai Shipbuilding School. Recently, he was recommended by Peng Yulin and sent to the newspaper office by Guan Xuqing.

As soon as Yan Fu finished speaking, everyone had no time to think deeply, Kang Youwei had already questioned: "Brother Yan is too idealistic. The number of legal persons and army is large, with a maximum of 70,000. Our Qing Dynasty only has only 50,000 in Vietnam. The French army has controlled Vietnam for so much time, and food and grass have long been no longer needed for domestic supplies. Weapons and ammunition, in fact, our Qing Dynasty is even short of war. It has been half a year since China and France started the war. The national treasury has been at its bottom, and the major arms manufacturing bureaus have been cut off due to funding problems. How can we destroy the French army and occupy Vietnam in an instant? Besides, the French army has an Indian Ocean fleet in the Far East, so I am afraid that it is already on the road at this moment.

.And even if we win, what can I get from the Qing Dynasty? Is it a few hundred miles of wasteland in Vietnam? Or is it a compensation from the French? Even if the French are defeated, they will withdraw from Europe. Can we still chase Europe? Getting compensation from the French is purely a dream. At that time, everyone in the country will not be full, orphans and widows are everywhere, and the treasury is so poor that it will not be worth the loss. In my opinion, even if the French demand compensation this time, as long as the amount is not excessive, it can be accepted. And after our Qing Dynasty endurance for 10 or 20 years, it is really possible to fight to Europe and ask them to return all the money and money to us."

Kang Youwei talked endlessly, and most of them agreed with his point of view. Although Yan Fu felt that something was missing, he could never say it. According to Kang Youwei, why did the emperor launch the Sino-French War? After half a year of fighting, I got nothing in the Qing Dynasty, and I didn’t get anything in Vietnam. I also took over the Fujian Navy, Mawei Military Port, and most of the Nanyang Navy, and even had to pay compensation?

The next morning, outside the Meridian Gate, most of the officials waiting to attend court were communicating and discussing things!

"I have been so worried these days. I knew that the Nanyang Navy had not come to Tianjin and ran to the East China Sea to fight with the French. I quickly sold the pawnshop in the capital and sent my wife back to my parents' home. I thought that the foreigner was going to fight to the capital again this time. I thought..."

"Oh, you! It's not a good thing to know too much news. Look, I'm going to leave the pawnshop in a hurry. I must have lost a lot. Look, is the emperor willing to negotiate this time?"

"It goes without saying that the emperor wants to fight, but see which one is willing to fight? The Nanyang Navy has only ten ships left. Although the army has not suffered too much losses, I heard that the ammunition can no longer keep up. The treasury has no money. The Vietnamese black flag army has never used guns. Last month, the emperor ordered them to provide equipment. As a result, the ammunition consumption was amazingly terrifying. Thousands of people fired bullets and fired more cannons than our Qing Dynasty's 50,000 troops."

"Oh, those bandits. It turns out that the guns were all set in the sky."

Everyone entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony and saw that the dragon throne was empty. After waiting for a long time, they did not see the emperor coming out. They started to discuss. Some people said that the emperor was sick, some people said that the emperor was worried about whether to fight or not, so they simply considered it for another day. Some people even guessed that the emperor was in the harem, and they asked the palace maid to sleep on their bed yesterday. Today they were nostalgic and did not want to get up.

Just as everyone was guessing, the fourth-rank guard with swords and commander of the Imperial Guard, Zhang Yu, appeared on the stairs and said loudly: "The emperor has an order, and will not pay tribute today!"

There are many more incredible guesses right now...

"I'm not a palace maid, I heard that. I'm with Emperor Tongzhi's Concubine Yi."

"No, Eunuch Wang said that I was with the palace maid last night."

"I heard that I'm sick and have smallpox."

"What do you all know? Don't guess randomly. The emperor left the palace in a concealed manner yesterday, and spent the night in Lihuayuan."

Just as everyone was talking, Zhang Yu shouted loudly again: "The emperor has an order, and all the ministers kneel down and listen."

Everyone knelt down and listened to the order

"... Since I was educated, I have always sighed that China is the shame of the past and present. Looking at China and abroad, I have never seen any wealthy people who have cedeed land and paid compensation. However, since the Daoguang Dynasty and the foreigners, our Qing soldiers did not think about protecting the country and ensuring peace, and had no intention of killing the enemy and defending the country. But they hoped to cede land and pay compensation, and Meiyan sought peace. Daoguang cut Hong Kong in the 19th year, the second year of Tongzhi, Ross cut Jiangdong, and the 13th year of Tongzhi, but they did not see that our Qing Dynasty became increasingly powerful, but instead sunset and mountains. Therefore, since I took power, I have reorganized the new army, opened factories, established banks, purchased schools, purchased warships, and consolidated the military affairs.

Wu just wants our China to no longer be bullied by foreigners. We entrusted the blessing of the navy and soldiers to win a complete victory in the East China Sea and promote our country's power! However, more than a thousand heroes were buried in the sea, and I regret it. Today I swear to the heroes that one day, the Qing Dynasty will no longer cut an inch of land and pay a ounce of silver. Today, the French want to cut off my Vietnam and share my silver. I will fight with him to the end! Either I defeat the legal person or the legal person destroys my Qing Dynasty. However, I can tell the people of the world and tell all the ministers. I will win! The legal person will be defeated! Heaven and man learn from it, ancestors learn from it, and the Chinese people learn from it."

As soon as this edict was issued, the court immediately exploded, and the chirping sounds filled the entire Hall of Supreme Harmony. Many ministers came forward to ask where the emperor was. They wanted to enter the palace to seek a meeting, but were stopped by Wang Yu's imperial guards.

At this time, Guan Xuqingzheng personally issued an order to mobilize the whole country's troops!

He pondered at the map for a moment before starting writing...

After this edict was sent to the whole country, the storm caused by the Great Victory of the East China Sea reached an unimaginable height, and this edict raised the storm to a new height. Countless young people put down their private schools to apply for military academies. The barracks that were originally unable to catch even the strong men came to ask for the army! The whole country was united and the sentiment to resist France was high!
