Chapter 568 'The Margaret Case' has twists and turns
,
On the same day, the spn imperial edict was drafted by the Military Aircraft Department, stamped by Emperor Tongzhi and took effect, and was urgently delivered to Yunnan within 800 miles.
The Governor of Yunnan, Cen Yuying, was not aware of the matter and personally investigated after receiving the telegram.
"Where?" Fan Dahui asked happily.
"Burmese Ottoman Empire" Li Guoloubi said firmly
Fan Dahui sighed: "Mr. Li said that Burma is still viable and the Ottoman Empire has nothing to do with us. You are going too far."
The Ottoman Empire was an empire that spanned Europe and Asia. It was the Turkish Empire that established the Zedeshar Kingdom in Xinjiang. Aguba was canonized by the Ottoman Emperor. The Zedeshar Kingdom was a satellite state of the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Empire and the Qing Dynasty seemed very similar to the Qing Dynasty.
It was a behemoth, but it always lost battles. It was carved up by the Western powers and had pieces of territory. It was also constantly ceding territory and paying indemnities. It was a close friend of the Qing Dynasty.
At this time, the Ottoman Empire was at war with the Russian Empire. Historically, the Ottoman-Russian War was divided into three stages and lasted a hundred years.
Li Guolou showed his white teeth and smiled slightly: "You don't understand that war boils down to profit. Can the British get benefits in Yunnan? The mountainous and impoverished inland is useless to the British, even if the British invade the territory of the Qing Dynasty
The coastal areas must never fight the Qing Dynasty in the mountains. The war of attrition is to maximize interests. Where is the British’s best interest?”
Fan Dahui touched his chin and thought: "Are you saying that the Ottoman Empire is the best interest of the British?"
"By the way, although Russia and the Ottoman Empire are at war, the British must be the mediators in this war for the benefit of Europe. They don't want to see the Russians win. If the Russians occupy the entire Ottoman Empire, the Europeans will conquer Russia."
After people achieved partial victory in the war, the British would definitely intervene to mediate the war. Therefore, the British
All the overseas legions are concentrated in Constantinople. The British troops in East Asia are only enough to maintain security in India and Burma. So I want to sprinkle a pinch of salt in Burma. I want the Qing Dynasty to compensate one million silver. Let me dream.
I am willing to spend a million dollars on the Burmese opposition. I want to make Burma unrest and not only let the British have a taste of the Burmese people’s independence movement.”
Fan Dahui's eyes widened in horror, thinking that Li Guolou's thoughts transcended national boundaries to engage in diplomatic negotiations and actually wanted to "mess" a country. He said anxiously: "Master Li can't mess with the British, but the British can't afford to offend. This is against the country."
If the policy is criticized, the British will retaliate.”
Li Guolou righteously yelled: "What are you afraid of? He is also a patriot who is trying to save the country. We can let Liu Yongfu, the leader of the Black Flag Army who is stationed in Annan, from the remnant party of Ge Laohui, do it. Even if Liu Yongfu embezzles part of the money, it will be beneficial to us. I want to let him."
The British and the French are smoking from behind and trapped in the quagmire of people's war."
Fan Dahui heard the implication of Li Guolou's words and said with great concern: "Master Li, if you are trying to rectify the law, please don't drain your family's wealth. While we are still strong, we have to support the national struggles of other countries and provoke wars. Have you thought about the consequences?"
Li Guolou waved his hand and said loudly: "Fan Dahui, you are a man of great wisdom. Don't be afraid. If the train starts construction next year, you can quickly increase national productivity. The agricultural economy will make great strides towards industrial society. Then you won't be earning 10 million silver a year."
At least double every year, less than five years national
The economy has doubled, and the overall strength of the country has also doubled. In ten years, it will quadruple. The national rejuvenation depends on the train industry. The two national economies, banking and transportation, are in our hands. Let me control the world. I will appoint you to work on the railway.
The minister drove the train to the border of Myanmar."
"Master Li, thank you for your hard work." Fan Dahui looked at the handsome Li Guolou and laughed evilly. Only Li Guolou in the world could deal with the greedy Manchu princes and nobles and the two powerful queen mothers in the palace.
Li Guolou seemed to have heard the voice-over. He looked down at the memorial and was tied up by a diplomatic dispute. "The Magali Case" was just an appearance. The British were looking for an excuse to start a war. If it was not handled well, the British would definitely take action. The British were in the Qing Dynasty.
Interests must be taken into consideration, and the British will never
If you are willing to be robbed of your interests in China by the Prussians, you still have to sign an unequal treaty, but the compensation is one million taels of silver. That is the sky-high price demanded by Weituma. How can Li Hongzhang actually see that as long as he is the special envoy for negotiations, he will never agree to compensate so much silver, minus a zero?
Almost everything else is easy to discuss.
Fan Dahui said in a low voice: "Master Li asked you to be this special envoy and you will suffer from poverty. If the negotiation is successful, your name will be recorded on the contract between the two countries and will be recorded for the rest of your life. You will no longer have the halo of a traitor and a national hero. From now on, you will lead troops and fight as death squads."
If you are so easy to use, you must not take the blame. You should let Li Hongzhang come forward. Anyway, Mr. Fu Xiang has so many lice on his body that he is not afraid of recording it."
Li Guolou suddenly came to his senses and slapped his thigh and said: "Master Fan, you are right. I am a special envoy. When you ask about your name on the negotiating table, I will never be a cuckold. I can wear the hat of a traitor. I will never wear the hat of a traitor."
"Hey, Mr. Li, you still miss Qiuxiang. You should forget about this woman who came to your door. Why don't I give you one of Hu Ji's fellow juniors?" Fan Dahui did not forget to tease Li Guolou that the two of them were still leisurely and exposed.
"Hey, to be honest, I feel lucky. I sincerely hope that more people will go. Wu Yingzi's departure makes me in a dilemma." Li Guolou didn't feel ashamed at all. Instead of feeling ashamed, he felt proud that he was an alien among men and wanted to be a bustard.
Wu Yingzi gave it to Wang Wu
Fan Dahui warned: "Master Li and Wan Shixing, don't play tricks, be careful and be punished by God. If Mother Wu accepts her, be kind to her, don't expose others' scars at home, and be the first to comfort her when you get home, you know?"
"Well" Li Guolou lowered his head and his despicable thoughts will only be exposed once. He still has to put the overall situation first. The she-wolf in the family has to deal with it one by one and can't help showing a lewd expression [
Fan Dahui opened the door. The dawn light illuminated the study room and Li Guolou, just like the bright light beside him illuminated his path forward. A battle with gunpowder smoke was about to begin. A new round of contest was about to begin. Fan Dahui looked at the morning glow and seemed to see a battlefield filled with artillery fire.
