The second fifty-ninth congratulations from many parties

He was so happy that he wanted to shout out, but he was worried that he had recognized the wrong person. This was the presidential palace, and he couldn't shout randomly or break the rules.

Gao Gao has always been educated in rules in the imperial palace in the capital.

It is most important for slaves to obey the rules, especially for the nobles who serve the royal family. If they do not understand the rules, they are likely to be beaten to death with sticks.

Therefore, the constant education of rules has been integrated into Gao Xing's bones, which made Gao Xing hold back his screams.

When he realized that he was about to step forward, wanting to get closer, hoping that his sister would recognize him, Liang Xiaoru's performance was already over.

The performance has strict procedures, and you have to leave the stage as soon as the performance is over.

When the curtain falls, the handyman in charge of the scene must arrange the scene for the next performance in the shortest possible time.

Dong Shuheng, who had been influenced by later generations of art, gave a lot of advice to the performance promotion team when it was established in Huaihai Haijun.

The addition of some new elements greatly increased the watchability of the performance.

Just a dry ice fog made the performance team performing "Journey to the West" very popular.

The military junta from all over the country broke their heads in front of the performance team. There was no way, the people below wanted to watch the performance and made trouble with the military junta.

In order to make torpedoes, Huaihai Navy researchers improved the air compression technology. Only then did they create dry ice.

In fact, Germany's Chirolet made solid carbon dioxide, that is, dry ice, twenty years ago, but it was only in the laboratory.

Huai Haijun has manufactured compression equipment that can industrially produce solid carbon dioxide, and uses dry ice to make fire extinguishers. However, due to the high cost, this kind of fire extinguisher is only used on ships.

As for putting it on the stage, it was purely out of Dong Shuheng's personal bad taste.

Gao Gao wanted to go backstage to find his sister, but he was a boy and the guard at the door of the women's locker room wouldn't let him in at all.

Later, when he saw a female staff member who was familiar with him, he quickly asked someone to go in and call her. As long as his sister was willing to come out to see him, Gao Gao would have a way to confirm the relationship between the two.

Every moment and every moment of getting along with my sister when I was young is still vivid in my mind.

After waiting for a while, the familiar female staff member walked out, not followed by the sister who was happy to have just discovered her.

"I'm sorry, Miss Liang has left. She will come over tomorrow for a formal performance. When she finishes her performance, you can call me and I will help you call her." Seeing the frustration on Gao Xing's face, the female staff member

He quickly comforted me.

"Thank you." Gao Xing thanked him quickly. Thinking about it, he didn't have to worry about confirming whether Miss Liang was his sister.

The frustration of not recognizing my sister affected my happiness for a few minutes.

He followed the female staff member back to the venue. There were still many rehearsals for the next show.

They can't miss it. When the banquet starts tomorrow, they, the staff, won't have time to watch the show.

After Liang Xiaoru finished her performance, she quickly found the dressing room No. 3. There was indeed a loose green brick on the floor.

Liang Xiaoru gently opened the blue brick, and a wax-sealed pill lay quietly under the brick.

She quickly restored the bricks to their original shape. Then she quickly changed into her costume and walked out.

Just now she just stepped on it as a preview for tomorrow's assassination.

She dug a small hole in the tent in the locker room and saw that there were no guards outside the tent at this location.

When the time comes, she can use an eyebrow razor to dissolve the canvas and sneak out of the dressing room.

Yun Sishi has already helped her get a set of women's work clothes and hid them on the top of the dressing room so that she can change them tomorrow.

In the backyard of the Presidential Palace, Dong Shuheng has also been in a lot of trouble these days. His marriage this time has alarmed many people. At the same time, we can also see the attitude of these people towards Huai Haijun.

The British and French ministers came in person, and the American minister was embarrassed not to come. The Prussian minister brought the most valuable gift.

Others are envoys from small European countries that followed the trend, such as Portugal, the Netherlands, etc. After all, everyone has to do trade with the Huai Navy.

The Japanese shogunate, the Ryukyu Kingdom, and the Jin family of North Korea also sent missions to attend Dong Shuheng's wedding.

There are also representatives from small Chinese countries in Southeast Asia and Chinese families.

There has been no response from the Qing court yet.

Governors from various places, including Luo Bingzhang, governor of Hunan, and Guizhongxing, governor of Shandong, secretly sent people to congratulate Dong Shuheng on his wedding.

Many of them asked Dong Shuheng to meet in person.

Rather than saying that they came to attend the wedding, it is better to say that they came to negotiate with Huai Haijun.

Naturally, Britain and France wanted to urge Dong Shuheng to send troops to Crimea as soon as possible.

Dong Shuheng's answer is simple, as long as your ships are in place, I will be able to send troops immediately.

The original plan of Britain and France was to let the Huai Navy use their own ships first, or rent ships to send troops there first, and then they would deliver the ships.

But this was impossible in Dong Shuheng's view. Dong Shuheng even allowed them to send people to Dafeng to take a look at the expeditionary force organized and trained by the Huai Navy to show his sincerity.

With the support of Huai Haijun, the shogunate has basically stabilized its position, but they hope that Huai Haijun can dispatch the navy to help them eliminate the remaining powerful vassals.

After being taught a lesson by the Huai Navy last time, these powerful vassals now all know that they cannot fight against the shogunate and the Huai Navy by relying on their old armies.

So now everyone is starting to resort to militarism, selling off iron and steel to buy weapons and equipment.

And the people they purchased weapons from were the old Americans. First of all, Mailen was very close to these powerful feudal lords. Especially the Hizen clan, which owned Nagasaki, the only open port between Japan and Western countries.

It also became a link between the United States and major powerful vassals.

In order to cause trouble for the Huai Navy, Mailian even ordered merchants to sell them the most advanced rifles at low prices.

Therefore, the situation in Japan has become increasingly tense recently, and the major powerful vassals, except for Satsuma, which has already surrendered, are all intensifying their military strength.

There were even many military provocations by powerful feudal lords against daimyo close to the shogunate.

Moreover, several powerful vassals still went their own way despite warnings from the shogunate. This was a naked provocation to the authority of the shogunate.

Those people seemed to be testing the bottom line of the shogunate, or in other words, the bottom line of the Huai Navy.

For this reason, Dong Shuheng agreed to sell a batch of equipment to the daimyo under the shogunate.

Dong Shuheng also persuaded the shogunate not to enter the palace in person. Instead, they could arm the daimyo of several nearby powerful vassals and let them fight against them.

These daimyo were supported by the financial resources of the shogunate, but where did the powerful feudal lords get the financial resources to compete with the shogunate?

Dong Shuheng's analysis was very reasonable, and the shogunate readily agreed.

Dong Shuheng certainly did not want the Japanese daimyo to be harmonious. The shogunate also did not want this.

The shogunate also needed to improve its prestige in mediating the battles between various daimyo.

The arrival of the North Korean Kim clan hopes that the Huaihai Navy can deliver the weapons and equipment they purchased as soon as possible, and their crusade army is ready.

But I heard that the Taiping Army in the north was also preparing its troops. A fort was even built on the Datong River based on Pyongyang City.

Where did the Taiping Army get so many artillery pieces? It couldn't have been provided by the Qing Dynasty, right?

Jin also knew that this must be a small move by Huai Haijun. But without evidence, what could he do?

They were afraid of angering Huai Haijun, so they didn't dare to mention it.

Many small Chinese countries in Nanyang were originally going to be wiped out by the Dutch in the past few years, especially Borneo. Not only the Dutch, but also the British wanted to get there.

However, since they took refuge in the Huai Navy, the Huai Navy sent a group of officers to help them train their troops, which taught the unruly natives a good lesson.

They also gave land to Huai Haijun to build farms. As Huai Hai's farms in Nanyang increased, his ability to protect himself became stronger and stronger.

These small Chinese countries also have their own little plans.

The land they allocated to Huai Haijun was at the junction between themselves and the indigenous people, so as Huai Haijun's farms expanded, these farms separated the indigenous people from them.

However, Dong Shuheng didn't care about this. This just facilitated the expansion of Huai Haijun's farm. Anyway, the indigenous land was Huai Haijun's land.

For the indigenous people, the farm militias were not as merciful as the small Chinese army.

The punishment for the indigenous tribes who invaded Huaihai Haijun Farm was the disappearance of the entire tribe.

Anyway, the Huai Navy's development of the rainforest also requires a lot of manpower, and these indigenous captives can just do these dangerous jobs.

With anti-malarial drugs, the Chinese no longer need to be afraid of the rainforest.

The climate and environment here in Nanyang are very suitable for farming. There are three crops a year. As long as the rainforest is cleared, farming can be started immediately.

With the food support from Nanyang, Dong Shuheng was able to immigrate freely. The biggest factor limiting immigration was food.

Recruiting immigrants in the interior requires large amounts of food.

In years of disaster, people only value food, not even gold or silver. Poor people sell their children and daughters for food. A bag of food may be able to save a family's life.

If the children are sold, they may be able to live with a good family.

So Huaihai needs food to recruit immigrants who have left their hometowns where they have lived for generations.

Food is also needed to resettle immigrants. For example, immigrants who are resettled to the Far East will not be able to grow food in the first year.

They must be provided with food to survive one year. Only when the fields can be cultivated in the second year can they gradually become self-sufficient.

In the Far East, although the land in the Heilongjiang River Basin is fertile, it can only cultivate food for one season.

When the Chinese and small Chinese countries from Southeast Asia came over, they simply continued to hug Dong Shuheng's lap. Without the support of the Huai Navy, they would not be able to defeat the indigenous people.

Especially when the Dutch and British deliberately supported the local indigenous people, these Chinese were even more vulnerable.

Recently, Britain and France have been busy with the war in the west and have no energy to pay attention to matters in Southeast Asia.

Nothing can happen if there is only a declining Netherlands.

At this time, it was a good time for the Huai Navy to expand in Nanyang. Dong Shuheng believed that the British must be aware of the little tricks they were doing in Nanyang. After all, so many farms suddenly popped up, and it was impossible not to alarm the British Governor in Singapore.

Mansion.

For unknown reasons, the British did not take any action.

There are just some natives who come to rob the farm, but these people are simply providing free labor to the farm.

The aristocratic families in Nanyang also benefited a lot from the cooperation with Huai Haijun.

Their fleet shuttles between major ports in Southeast Asia and Haimen Port.

They can get the goods directly from Huaihai Company, and when they get to Nanyang, whether they sell them locally or resell them to businessmen in the west in Singapore, they can make a lot of money.

In addition, Huai Haijun purchased the output of their plantations and rubber plantations, allowing their business to grow day by day.

Many families sent their direct children to Huai Haijun to serve as officials or to study.

In this way, they expressed their allegiance to the Huai Navy.

Domestic governors do not yet despise the authority of the Qing court as they did when the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded.

Many governors deliberately drew a clear line with Huai Haijun. In their eyes, the imperial court would have to deal with Dong Shuheng sooner or later.

It seems that the current external situation is gradually favorable to the Qing court. Bandit rebellions in various places have either been quelled or suppressed.

When the various places settle down, the imperial court may come to "eighteen princes to challenge Dong".
