Pu Xu, the king of Dingjun, had no idea that the fate of his daughter, and even the fate of their family, would change dramatically tonight. Of course, this change may not be what he wanted. However, he did not refuse.
Ability can only be accepted passively.
Puxu, Prince of Dingjun, was the fifth son of Zai Ming. In September of the fourth year of Xianfeng (1854), Prince Ding Zaiquan became ill and died of illness. Emperor Xianfeng issued an edict to "put Puxu, the great grandson of Miande, as his heir" and passed him to Zaiquan's heir.
He entered Beifu (that is, Prince Ding's Mansion in Gangwa City). It was the month after his death and he attacked the king of the county. He was a philanthropic man who often gave money and rice to the poor and bought birds to release. He made no achievements in his life. He did not enter the palace for many years. Because he was not on duty, he sometimes
Being fined. Pu Xu's seniority was relatively low among the Manchu clans, one generation below Emperor Guangxu.
"Well, let's decide on the girl from the Puxu family. Although she is lower in generation, she is from my Qing Dynasty clan and has a noble status. It is perfectly suitable for her to be a young marshal in western Sichuan. You go out of the city immediately and tell this matter
Let’s talk to Western Sichuan!” Empress Dowager Cixi said.
"Ah! Lafayette, it's already so late, can't we do it tomorrow?" Prince Gong Yixin said with some surprise. He didn't expect Cixi to be so impatient, so he just remembered to make a decision now.
"Go now and make a decision as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams!" said the Empress Dowager Cixi.
"Yes, Lafayette, I will go now!" Prince Gong Yixin said.
"Well! Go ahead. The Ai family is waiting for your reply!" Empress Dowager Cixi warned.
"Yes, Lafayette, I will definitely leave as soon as possible!" Prince Gong Yixin replied.
Outside the capital city, in the military camp in western Sichuan, Wang Yuze, Liang Xingrong and Song Zhengping were talking. They finally reached an agreement with the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, which finally relaxed their tense mood. Although they were unable to capture Guangxi, they were very worried.
It's a pity, but it is already very good to be able to occupy the territory of four provinces and receive a war compensation of 120 million taels of silver.
"Young Marshal, the fleet will return to China in two years. It is always difficult to handle without a port! We can't let the fleet float on the sea all the time, right?" Liang Xingrong said. The importance of Guangxi to western Sichuan is self-evident.
. Without an outlet to the sea, Western Sichuan has never been able to achieve real take-off.
"Yes! After taking over Guangxi, we have to build the port and shipyard in advance, which will take a long time. We must solve the problem of the seaport within a year, at most a year and a half.
!" Song Zhengping also said.
"Isn't there still more than a year? Don't worry! After waiting for a year and a half, we will have almost digested the newly occupied territory. We can find any reason to send troops into Guangxi. By that time, our strength will be
It has been improved again. We are not necessarily afraid of the great powers. Besides, the great powers are not monolithic. Germany is our quasi-ally, and the United States is simply insignificant. Russia is in the north, and if we take Guangxi, it will not do anything to them.
Influence. As for Britain, as long as we give them certain benefits, they will not stop it. As for France, if there is no support from other countries, he will not dare to do anything to us! Although the market in western Sichuan has gone through two
After ten years of cultivation, it is still relatively small. The newly acquired territory in four provinces has given us tens of millions more people. After cultivation, it will also be a very large market. At the same time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty opened all the markets to us.
The market will also greatly promote the development of our economy. Even if the great powers threaten us by blocking our trade channels, they will not pose such a big threat to us!" Wang Yuze said.
The reason why the great powers were able to intervene confidently in the war between Western Sichuan and the Qing Dynasty this time was because they had correctly identified this point. The development of Western Sichuan was based on the huge overseas market. The things exported by Western Sichuan include some clothes, raw silk, Bristle and some luxury goods are heavily dependent on the European and American markets. If the foreign powers block Western Sichuan's overseas trade channels, Western Sichuan's economy will not last long. Therefore, Western Sichuan has to make compromises and give up an easy victory. In the final analysis, it is still Because the strength of Western Sichuan is not enough. If Western Sichuan has the strength to make the great powers worry, would the great powers still dare to force Western Sichuan like this? Now, the strength of Western Sichuan is still a little bit behind. But Western Sichuan is developing at a high speed, I believe it is not possible. How long will it take for them to catch up with or even surpass the European powers? By then, Western Sichuan will no longer have to look at their faces.
"Since the young marshal already has a plan, we won't say more. After this war is over, the young marshal should return to Chengdu. The military experience has been enough, and it is time to start getting familiar with the handling of government affairs. Liang Xingrong said.
Wang Yuze couldn't help but his eyes lit up. Liang Xingrong's willingness to say this undoubtedly confirmed his identity and ability, which would be very helpful for him to inherit the power in western Sichuan in the future.
"Yes! The Marshal's health is getting worse. If the Marshal familiarizes himself with government affairs earlier, he can also reduce the pressure on the Marshal!" Song Zhengping also said. Wang Xiao, the founder of Western Sichuan, in the minds of these people They all have a very tall image. They naturally hope to see Wang Xiao continue to command Western Sichuan and move forward with higher and further goals in mind. However, people are subject to birth, old age, illness and death, and Wang Xiao cannot escape this law. In such a situation Under this situation, they can only place their hopes on Wang Xiao's successor. Fortunately, although Wang Yuze's performance was not outstanding when he was young, now, Wang Yuze's changes have impressed them. If something happens to Wang Xiao, Wang Yuze will Undoubtedly a worthy successor.
"Yes!" Wang Yuze nodded. His performance in this war has already conquered the big bosses in the military. In the future, when he inherits the power in western Sichuan, the military will no longer object to him. He is now What needs to be done is to deal with attribute government affairs. He still remembers Cai Yun once saying that what Western Sichuan needs is a commander, not a general!
"Young Marshal, Director Liang, Deputy Director Song! Prince Gong Yixin wants to see you!" Wang Wei walked into Wang Yuze's military tent and said.
"Prince Gong Yixin? Why is he here so late? Do you want to regret it?" Wang Yuze said in surprise.
"No matter what they are here for, let's talk about it after we meet them. If they really want to go back on their word, isn't that in line with our wishes? Then we can directly send our troops to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty. In that case, the great powers will also There is no reason!" Liang Xingrong said with a smile.
"Haha! Yes! If this is the case, then I really hope that Yi Xin will regret it!" Song Zhengping also laughed.
Soon, Wang Wei led Prince Gong Yixin into Wang Yuze's military tent.
"Your Highness Prince Gong, please do it. Wang Wei, serve tea!" Wang Yuze greeted enthusiastically. Although everyone was always on tenterhooks during the negotiation, now that an agreement has been reached, there is no need to do that anymore. Besides, Prince Gong Yixin is already the foreman of the Qing Dynasty's military aircraft, so Western Sichuan still needs to give him some face.
"Thank you, Young Marshal. I am here today to express my congratulations to the Young Marshal!" Prince Gong Yixin said.
"Daoxi? What's going on?" Wang Yuze was a little confused.
"The young marshal is young and has both civil and military skills. He is truly a rare hero. Lafayette fell in love with the young marshal, so the marshal married me to the young marshal from the Qing Dynasty!" Prince Gong said with a smile.
"What? Marry Princess to me?" Wang Yuze was shocked.
Liang Xingrong and Song Zhengping were also very surprised. They did not expect that Prince Gong came here for this purpose.
"Young Marshal, this is Lafayette's grace!" Prince Gong Yixin continued.
"I'll go! I don't care about grace or anything like that." Wang Yuze said secretly. I have no interest in the princesses of the Manchu Qing Dynasty!
"Prince Gong, I am already married. Moreover, I still have three wives. It would be inappropriate to marry a princess from the Qing Dynasty again!" Wang Yuze immediately thought of the reason for his refusal.
"This is simple. Divorce your three wives. I have a noble status in the Qing Dynasty, so naturally I cannot serve the same husband with other women!" Prince Gong said directly, as if this was a matter of course.
However, he obviously thought wrong. For ordinary people, being able to marry a princess is a blessing that has been cultivated for many lifetimes. However, for Wang Yuze, he is not rare at all. His three wives
, everyone is deeply loved by him, how could he do such an ungrateful thing?
"Prince Gong, please forgive me. My three wives and I have always been in love, and I will never divorce them to marry Princess!" Wang Yuze shook his head, and his tone was a little stiff.
Prince Gong's face was a little ugly. He was of a noble character and status in the Qing Dynasty. How could he be like other women and have several women serving the same husband? This made him lose the dignity of the Qing Dynasty royal family.
"Young Marshal, this is a gift from Lafayette Chrysostom. It will be beneficial to both of us if the Young Marshal and I get married. By then we will become a family. If there are any conflicts, it will be a family matter."
It’s much easier to handle!” Prince Gong Yixin said.
Wang Yuze also thought of this. If he married a Manchu princess, he and Manqing would become his own. Although the Manchu princess had no power, he might also be able to use this to intervene within the Manchu family.
Is it something? However, if he is asked to divorce his three wives and marry a Manchu Princess, that is absolutely impossible. Even this marriage is beneficial to Western Sichuan.
But he, Wang Yuze, is not the kind of person who is unjust and unjust.
"I have no objection to marriage with the Qing Dynasty. However, it is absolutely impossible for me to divorce my wife. I can marry Princess of the Qing Dynasty. But she can only be my fourth wife!" Wang Yuze said firmly.
