After the French minister left with a sinister smile, Zhao Kuo collapsed on the chair. In his opinion, France taught Annan a lesson. This battle will inevitably be fought.^^ Go and read the latest novel^

In essence, the rulers of Annan Nguyen were just seeing the French as a powerful force that could be exploited, and were of the same nature as the Siam dynasty, but this was a big mistake.

The 19th century was a major reshuffle of world resources. The technology was so advanced that it could fight globally. More dynamic and advanced civilizations seized the wealth and ownership of backward civilizations under the engine of human progress - greed.

However, with the understanding of the Ruan Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, the arrogance, and the erosion of the Far Eastern civilization represented by Confucianism and Buddhism, they are just myopic mice, and will inevitably reject the French's request, which will trigger a war that will inevitably fail.

Even if you have to travel half of the earth, who can beat the world's second strongest country?

And as far as civilization is concerned, it is not a difference in degree, but a difference in qualitativeness.

If the Song Dynasty got involved in the dispute between France and Annan, it would have almost no benefit in terms of the level of civilization of the Song Dynasty.

Britain, France and the United States can require free trade. What does it mean to free trade between the Song Dynasty and Annan?

The two agricultural countries trade freely? They buy and sell agricultural products to each other? They are the same as rural markets?!

Missionaries of the Song Dynasty preached freely to Annan?

In fact, 90% of Zhao Kuo's followers were his army and a few merchants. Now that God has just arrived in the Song Dynasty, he is still fighting in chaos. Even if Catholics and Christian believers in the folk Song Dynasty are combined, they are not as good as the Annan Catholic believers. After all, they are completely supported by France. Who preaches to whom?

Annan geological and mineral resources. The Song Dynasty could not develop it. The biggest use of coal mines in the Qing Dynasty was to burn porcelain land. This amount was used by a few small coal mines in total artificial sites. In order to develop and obtain economic, industrial and political interests, the mineral resources of the own geological and mineral resources had to be handed over to the great powers or jointly (relying on) the great powers to develop. Even iron nails could not even machine the land to be built and talked about robbing resources?

The only advantage may be to get some money from the Ruan Dynasty.

The disadvantages are obvious. Now the main forces of Britain and France are attracted to the Crimea region. They are fighting the Russians to the death. The main force of this time is definitely himself.

Those soldiers in his own land are just novices. They are both navy and army. Don’t look at the Qing Dynasty’s group of people who dare to set cold weapons against line-style tactics and fish scale positions. If they face the British lobster soldiers, they might be beaten to run away in a single shot.

In fact, the British army didn't need it. During the civil war between the American little sluts, musketeers braved artillery fire and the opponent's guns and rushed forward and overturned the wall. 80% of the soldiers who died did not collapse. Could the most elite Sharp Spear Group of the Song Dynasty do it?

The great powers have fought a land war for hundreds of years. It is more courageous and disciplined. Perhaps such elite soldiers are rarely seen in the entire Far East 5,000 years of history. What's more, fighting over and over, the land is national and national consciousness. Where can he find such soldiers?

If you are not good at the military, you can only rely on the number of people to suppress it.

In French history, 600 troops fought against Annan. Zhao Kuo was not sure and did not spend this time on Annan in irrelevant places.

The most obvious point is that the faster you attack Annan, the safer it will be against the Song Dynasty. After all, once you intervene, you will start a war against the Qing Dynasty and Annan countries at the same time, and it is still on the premise that you have not gained an overwhelming advantage during the rebellion!

Such a crazy peasant rebel must have searched all the five thousand years of history in China!

Of course, Zhao Kuo was not afraid of Annan at all. Any country that colluded with Confucianism and Buddhism as a civilization is not powerful. Even if Zhao Kuo came to the time and space, the mainstream religions believed in Buddhism were all poor and small countries in Southeast Asia.

Buddhism will not improve the level of social civilization, but will only reduce it. A small Southeast Asian country claims that men have been monks and are all free and democratic. How about it? Do you pay attention to compassion? Are the people happy? Are the country prosperous? Military coups every day! Butchers and soldiers are in the world!

Buddhism is simply an accomplice of the slave owner, which allows you to be a slave with peace of mind. In this life, your wife and daughter will be played with. Don’t resist. That is when you were a slave owner in your previous life, you were retribution for bullying others in this life. You should eat well = chant Buddha's name and offer to bald donkeys. In the next life, you will be reincarnated as a slave owner to rape the wife and children of the slave owner's reincarnated as a slave owner. What a perfect logic, you are simply the most qualified slave.

During the Meiji Restoration in Japan, a very typical feature was to destroy Buddhism and drive Confucianism. In fact, they didn’t need to destroy Buddhism, because in order to embrace the thighs of Bushido, Japanese Buddhism had long changed its doctrine, abandoning the core concept of deception of reincarnation, and claiming that Japanese people did evil and good things in their lives, regardless of their high or low status, and became Buddhas after death!

Which Buddha is this? This is clearly a branch of the Bushido!

The mainstream civilization in Annan is composed of Confucianism and Buddhism. Zhao Kuo firmly believes that his strength can also make it a mess.

The problem is that Zhao Kuo has no time, he is working in the Qing Dynasty.

For the sake of your own safety, the more investment in combat power, the greater the advantage of land power balance, the shorter the war time, the better. This must be a blitzkrieg.

But once the blitzkrieg fails, I will be in trouble. I will definitely face the Qing Dynasty's take advantage of the situation.

So it is obvious that if you don’t fight, you have to do your best to fight. You have to give in and make the Ruan Dynasty surrender like thunder, and then withdraw your troops immediately.

It is impossible to make the Annan people surrender in the short term. It is impossible to make these brave and unyielding people surrender in the long-term war, but it is simple to make their tyrannical rulers surrender.

Forced his capital, Hue!

The so-called people are afraid of officials, officials are afraid of foreigners, and foreigners are afraid of people.

If you conquer the Ruan Dynasty, you will sign a contract to sell your body. Anyway, no one from France, Spain and Zhao Kuo want to act according to East Asian civilization. East Asian civilizations have always fought for hegemony, without any prisoners, but they will only want to do it in the Western way, defeat you, sign a contract, and eat you slowly.

But the most obvious thing is: work hard and risk, and you will get almost no benefits.

Who will fight a war without interest?

Except for lackeys.

Before leaving, French Minister Boulbron also said: We will definitely give you reasonable remuneration, but our country has great interests in Annan, so we do not want others to interfere in territorial cemeteries and other matters.

If you are involved in the French affairs, you can't even get involved in the interests of the Indochina Peninsula. This is France's private land and a commemoration of the lost fertile land of India. If you want to get involved in the Frenchman's Indochina Peninsula, are you tired of living?!

Moreover, the Nguyen dynasty, which was holding French thighs, was extremely warlike. They had been invading neighboring countries such as Cambodia, laying the foundation for the current thin-striped Annan territory. The French used to make the local strategy on the Indochina Peninsula "us Vietnam to build Cambodia (Budha) and Viet Vietnam to build Siam (Ro)".

Now Zhao Kuo confirmed that their national strategy must have two more items: "Use Song to control Yue, and use law to control Song!"

"Damn it. Now I can only be isolated by the glory of the British boss. It is best to be jealous of French colonial behavior and help me pinch it." Zhao Kuo looked at the global map on the wall and sighed quietly: "I'm stupid and I'm going to be a gunman for others."

An hour later, British Minister Sir Wenhan took off his top hat at the door with a new British man and entered Zhao Kuo's office.

"This is Mr. Thomas Tymiele, our Consul in Shanghai. He is familiar with Far East affairs and is also familiar with the Qing court. I specially brought it this time." Wen Han introduced.

"I admire you for a long time." Zhao Kuo shook hands in a false way. He really admired this blonde consul for a long time. This man was a fanatical Christian. Or he could not stand the group of idiot officials of the Qing Dynasty. He was so crazy that even the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom agreed. He helped Zhao Kuo a lot of busy and overworked. He was busy because he was absolutely neutral and did not want the British to interfere in the internal strife of the Qing Dynasty. He was frivolous and always associated him with the group of great dance gods of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which affected the image of Zhao Kuo's only enlightened Christian ruler in the east.

After Wen Han sat down, he saw Zhao Kuo’s face was bad and smiled. He said straight to the point: “Are you worried about Lan Fang? I had lunch with the Dutch Consul at noon.”

Zhao Kuo naturally got straight to the point: "That's right. Lan Fang is not only related to the interests of my subjects, but also to the pirate suppression cause, and a major event related to the Far East Opium Line. I hope the British Empire will stand on my side."

Listening quietly, he took the cigar handed over by Zhao Kuo, Wenhan lit a smoke ring and said, "We need to consider that the Netherlands is our old friend. Their country has been legally colonizing in Kalimantan for many years. If the Song Dynasty requested it, what can our British Empire get?"

You are straightforward! Zhao Kuo was stunned and thought for a while and said, "No matter who the Netherlands is, I have regional advantages, this will offset 90% of his national strength. You always want winners in the future or long-term view. This is definitely in the interests of the British Empire; and do you know that Annan keeps persecuting missionaries and making Napoleon III furious?"

Wenhan thought to himself: I knew you were worried because of this. He smiled and said, "Now our country is fighting side by side against the Russians in Crimea. Annan was a sphere of influence of French friends a long time ago. They claimed to be the apologists of the Far Eastern Catholic Church, and it is normal for them to be furious. I have also heard that France requests you to deal with the coming crisis together. As a Christian, I really hope that the two Catholic emperors will teach the barbaric Annan for the glory of God."

"You bastard, you have conspired with Bourbron!" Zhao Kuo bit the cigar that had not yet been lit and widened his eyes. The high-tech match stick in his hand cracked and he himself broke it on the phosphorus surface.

He stared at Wenhan, smiling silently, gritted his teeth for a long time before slowly pulling out the cigar in his mouth, and asked word by word: "What do you want from me in the British Empire? What do you give me?"

"Hmph." Wenhan sneered a few times, patted his hands a few times, turned his head to look at Consul Midile and smiled: "Emperor Zhao is one of the only geniuses I have seen in the world in terms of intelligence, a young but experienced politician qualities."

After saying this, whether it was a polite sarcasm to the lackeys or sincere flattery, Wenhan looked at Zhao Kuo and said, "I am happy to see Your Majesty show your piety to God through actions. Of course, I know that you are worried that when you sent troops to Annan, the occupied territory was raided by the Qing Dynasty. You already have such a large territory, such a place, and such a powerful soldier. What do you need now? Peace."

"Peace?" Zhao Kuo snorted with a nose. He pointed at Wenhan and sneered: "You are so overestimating the group of braided beasts in Beijing. They absolutely cannot communicate with you. In the entire Far East, there is only me, and only me, which can serve as a bridge between two civilizations. I advise you not to waste time on those braided pigs. They have no interest in anything except blood sucking and opium."

Wenhan spread his hands and smiled and said, "It's always a great time to negotiate with you, because whatever I say, you can see everything wrapped around it."

"Then tell me why do you think Beijing should be peaceful with me? Our civil war has always been endless. There can only be one winner, winners take all, and the loser remains. This is our civilization. Let's not talk about me. I don't think you can change it, and the British Empire can't change it." Zhao Kuo stared at Wen Han as if he was watching the stubborn person, his eyes were still moving, but his head was shaking his head helplessly.

Wen Han put the cigar on the ashtray and coughed lightly, "Only peace can be free trade, and it is in the best interests of all countries. We hope that the Far East will be restored. From my observation, you have suddenly begun to sweep the Qing army since the foreign gun team was trained. Before that, compared with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which you were diplomatic but despised from time to time, you made a very slow progress. They had traveled across several provinces and attacked the capital. We are all saying that Hong Xiuquan will become the new emperor.

I think this is also the reason why your territory was not besieged by the Jiangnan and Jiangbei Camp; but after the war in Ganzhou, with your foreign money team, the Qing Dynasty was vulnerable, but what you need is time. The Qing Dynasty was too large. It is equivalent to most of North America. How many years will it take for you to complete the unification you promised? What's the use of unification? How can your imperial power control your subjects in such a large area? Businessmen in our country and various countries definitely don't want to see such a long war."

"Tell me straight, can you trust my promise of free trade?" Zhao Kuo shouted loudly.

"It's not that I believe it, but the longer the time, the larger the scale, the greater the risk." Wen Han looked at Zhao Kuo's angry face but smiled: "You also understand commercial lending, the principle is the same."

"I understand, but the Qing Dynasty won't understand." Zhao Kuo said.

"Your Song Dynasty is said to be a country on the ship, and all the machinery and equipment and arms supply are shipped by us." Wen Han grinned like a fox: "Your soldiers also have noble dedication. But to be honest, they are too poor compared to our military strength. But even so, the imported armed army will make the Qing Dynasty embarrassed. I think. Since you are as smart as the yellow people, there must be a second, third, countless people. The Qing government must have such a like you. When they see your actions and advantages, they will definitely understand that the world has changed, and we are willing to help the countries in the Far East to maintain peace. If we can have a good talk and stop the war, you and the Qing Dynasty will recognize each other as the best result."

"It's not that I don't want it, it's impossible. I have occupied three of them. Don't you claim to be China Connect? You can't figure out what those people are thinking, right? Although they don't even have an accurate map, a stone is also the place where they claim to be. A rebel is also the one who has to rush to the point. They don't have the people in their eyes, but only whether their butts are stable or not." Zhao Kuo shook his head helplessly.

"We have a complete dominance in Crimea. If we are lucky, we can talk to the Qing government seriously at this time next year." Wen Han smiled and said, "This is a very rich continent. If we businessmen cannot pursue the global free business spirit here, maybe we can poke them in the butt. They may regret why they didn't agree earlier?"

"This has nothing to do with me, because they are afraid of you, and I have yellow skin," Zhao Kuo smiled bitterly: "Their slave owners hate us with the same skin slaves than you ten thousand times!"

"Our British Empire wants to act as a peacemaker between you and the Qing Dynasty." Wenhan expressed his intention: "As long as you express satisfaction based on your current territory and express your satisfaction, we will stand on your side. After all, your territory has a large number of interests, and we cannot sit idly by. But if we want to protect us, it is also your interest. You need to promise to give up the plan to occupy the entire Qing Dynasty territory and replace it. What we need is peace in the Far East, rather than blood flowing."

"My subordinates and the people may revolt and kill me, which is a hundred times more bloody than the French Revolution." Zhao Kuo gritted his teeth and said, "What can you give me such a possible concession?"

"Like the French, before the Qing Dynasty recognized you, given the peace expectation of concessions to us, we recognize that you have made to the three provinces at this moment, and that this is the territory of the Song Dynasty. If the Qing Dynasty occupied it unreasonably, we have the right to give up neutrality and protect our interests in the Song Dynasty in various ways, including force." Wen Han said coldly: "In a word, the land of the Song Dynasty belongs to you and the world, and is no longer from the Qing Dynasty."

"You are so ridiculous. The Qing Dynasty will never admit me unless they are finished." Zhao Kuo laughed.

Wenhan snorted coldly from his nose, and he looked at Zhao Kuo and said, "I can swear, like you, I hate the savage nomadic races with ridiculous pig tails and smelly bodies behind their heads. If I have the chance, I would like to smash their butts with a 3-pound cannon."

After saying that, Wenhan stretched out a finger: "Sign an offensive and defensive alliance with us and a unilateral peace agreement against the Qing Dynasty. After you knocked down those monkeys in Annan, we are happy to join forces with you to go to Beijing to kick the ass of Xianfeng. If you agree, we think you are the most trustworthy and mutual ally of the Far East of our British Empire. God bless the Far East."

"What if I don't sign?" Zhao Kuo stared at Wen Han and looked at him motionlessly.

Wen Han sneered twice: "I believe you also understand the history of the Nguyen Dynasty in Annan. You are learning that we are moving towards civilization. This kind of thing is not something you can do by just being smart. You need a lot of technology, equipment, and funds from Europe. What will happen if our embargo is done? And don't forget that once the threat from Crimea is lifted, I promise that all Europe's vision will be focused on the Far East! There will be warships gathering here and war soldiers are mingling. It doesn't matter if you don't cooperate. We are also tired of putting all goods in Haijing for you to transport and smuggle into the Qing Dynasty. To be honest, Shanghai is more suitable. I am sure we must open the door of the Qing Dynasty. The parliamentary

The gentlemen were already shouting at the top of their lungs that they would use force against the Qing Dynasty, especially the chauvinists of the great power. They were more and more angry at the ignorance of the Qing Dynasty when they saw such an outstanding ruler. These were all merchants and capitalists who didn't care about killing people and destroying the country. If we get the surrender of the Qing Dynasty, in fact, given the performance of the Qing Dynasty and your war, we think this is the only result. How much use will you do to their merchants and politicians who betray us at that time? If our European countries united to interfere in the Qing Dynasty civil war for trade interests, which side do you want you to stand on? Do you want to fight against the Qing Dynasty and the European countries alone?"

Although in the Governor's Mansion, there was only one street from his home - Haijing British Chamber of Commerce, Wenhan and Midile came out of Emperor Zhao Kuo's office and got on the carriage with guards.

In the carriage, Wen Han smiled and said, "How about this rough, ridiculous and intelligent long-haired emperor is powerful. He is worthy of his reputation."

"He definitely understands global political weather." Midi Le smiled and said, "I just obviously don't want to be peaceful with the Grand List. His ambition must also be sitting on the throne in the palace in Beijing."

"If you have peace, the foundation of his rule will be shaken. Every Qing people thinks so, there are no nobles here. Peasants are the masters of everything, haha." Wenhan laughed, but he said seriously: "It is not in the interests of our country to support a powerful Qing Dynasty replacement. We hope to support the Qing Dynasty and Song Dynasty at the same time, one should be big and weak, and the other should be small and strong, and it is best to have a balanced power, and no one can eat anyone, just like Russia and Sweden back then. In this way, we can fully control this continent."

"Just like we did in India?" Midile smiled and said, "I am still very pleased that such a large territory as a Christian kingdom in the Far East is completely enough. We protect these believers in the obedience of the Song Dynasty, which is worthy of God, merchants and London."

"After you return to Shanghai, you must immediately inform Emperor Xianfeng of the situation, and use the situation in the Song Dynasty as our stepping stone to this fool, so that he can understand our strength, and at the same time, we are willing to help them like we did to help the Song Dynasty. Whether it is the foreign gun team, warship, or industry, it is only necessary to open the door for us. Even if you communicate with us equally, let us send envoys in Beijing," Wen Han ordered.

"I really hate those guys with braids on their heads. They are so disgusting, stupid and hypocritical and cruel." Midile said with a frown.

"This is a political game." Wen Han sneered: "The French want to use the Song Dynasty to control Yue, control the Song Dynasty and Annan, and covet the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau of the Qing Dynasty, so let them play; what we are seeking is to use the Qing Dynasty to control the Song Dynasty and use the Song Dynasty to control the Qing Dynasty. In the end, the entire Far East is dancing on our palms. French? Just like India at that time, it will be cooler."

At the same time, Zhao Kuo, who was furious, kicked the stationery paper and ink on the desk and smashed the pen holder hard towards the world map on the wall. He shouted: "This group of fucking damn imperialist beasts!"

Half an hour ago, sitting on the ground of a messy office, the long-haired emperor was gasping. He gritted his teeth and looked around to see if there was any place to vent his breath. Then he saw that the Qing Dynasty map was smashed down on the wall. He looked at the palm-sized place in the south. After a long time, he let out a long sigh and smiled bitterly: "I am at least the leader of the three provinces protected by the great powers. I am already too great, much bigger than my gang back then?! Damn, serious emperor level! They are all exempt from inspections around the world! I ride a donkey, and look back at them. There are also people walking barefoot, wealth and safety. It seems to be good."
