Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

The victory over Japan originally affected the interests of the United Kingdom, and would definitely offend the United Kingdom, which still has strength in the Far East.However, through a series of preferential policies for the United Kingdom, the United Kingdom actually took the initiative to sign a treaty of friendship with the Qing Dynasty.

After all, in the Far East, Britain also needs a strong ally.The defeat of Japan undoubtedly pushed the Qing Dynasty in front of Britain.

In the Forbidden City, the resplendent and resplendent palaces are unusually solemn and majestic under the setting sun.

A group of eunuchs were waiting outside the palace, and the maids came and went in and out of a room, some were carrying washbasins, some were carrying towels, and some were carrying clean water, busy.

Guan Xuqing, on the other hand, paced back and forth outside the house with an ugly expression on his face.

"Why has it been so long?" Guan Xuqing asked impatiently.

"Your majesty, don't worry. The empress's health will ensure the safety of the mother and child. The midwife is waiting on the inside, and she should be giving birth soon." Wang Shang comforted.

"Wow..." A baby's cry came from the room, and everyone showed excitement, especially Guan Xuqing, who was so excited that he didn't know what to say.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, the Empress has given birth to an elder brother. The mother and child are safe!" A court lady hurried out to report back.

"It's elder brother, haha, I'm becoming a father, I'm becoming a father." Guan Xuqing was incoherent in excitement.

"Report... a telegram from General Feng of Japan that the agreement with Japan has been signed." The little eunuch in the telegraph room hurried in.

"Okay, it's really double happiness." Guan Xuqing was so happy that he almost flew up.

Competing in East Asia Chapter 167 Big Brother

Whether in this life or in the next life, Guan Xuqing is the first time to be a father.Before the excitement had subsided, he received the good news that the peace treaty had been signed. How could he not make him happy.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. The Empress's birth of a prince heralds the prosperity of my Qing Dynasty. It is my Qing Dynasty's blessing to let the Japanese pirates bow down as soon as my elder brother is born!" Peng Yulin said excitedly.

"Haha, well said. According to my decree, all troops who go to North Korea and Japan will be paid three times the military salary according to their rank, and all naval generals will also be paid three times the military salary. The officers and soldiers who died for the country must be given pensions for more than five years The military pay!" Of course, Guan Xuqing wanted to allocate part of the money he had snatched from the Japanese to these soldiers who threw their lives and blood on the front line for the country.

"Cha, I thank the emperor Long En on behalf of the frontline soldiers." Peng Yulin fell to the ground.

Guan Xuqing turned to Wang Shang and said, "Notify the Ministry of Internal Affairs that all the maids and eunuchs here will be rewarded with a year's salary. Eldest brother will get all expenses from the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"Cha." Wang Shang nodded and said.

At this time, the elder brother had already been taken away by the nurse who had already prepared, and Guan Xuqing walked gently into the queen's bedroom.Looking at the pale queen, Guan Xuqing couldn't help wiping the sweat off the queen's forehead.

"Your majesty..." The queen wanted to sit up nervously after seeing Guan Xuqing.

Guan Xuqing supported her, and said in an irresistible tone: "Don't move, lie down properly. Queen, thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard work, it's a concubine's blessing to be able to give birth to a prince for the emperor. I only hope that the little prince can share the worries of the emperor when he grows up." Jingfen's few words moved Guan Xuqing greatly.

"Haha, I hope you can give birth to more princes for me, and I will choose one of them as the crown prince in the future. Let our Qing Empire continue to prosper!" Guan Xuqing said excitedly.

"The concubine obeys the order." Jingfen blinked mischievously, lying on the bed happily and continued: "Your Majesty, can the concubine meet the little prince?"

"Uh... it seems... the prince has already been carried away by the nanny. When you get better, I will allow you to raise him yourself!" Guan Xuqing promised.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jingfen was so moved that she almost burst into tears.

The princes of the Qing Dynasty were not allowed to be raised by their biological mothers. They were served by eunuchs and court ladies from birth.After the age of 6, they will go to the study room to study. In their eyes, there is only one father, but there are many mothers.

So when Jingfen heard that Guan Xuqing promised to let her raise the prince herself, besides being excited, she was more grateful...

After chatting with the queen, Guan Xuqing got up and said, "It's getting late, you should go to bed early. I'm leaving first, and I'll come to talk to you another day."

"Yes." Jingfen replied weakly.

Although from the current point of view, the whole situation seems to be very beneficial to the Qing Dynasty.But Guan Xuqing didn't dare to relax at all, after all he was changing history.What happens after that no one will know.

The birth of the elder brother is the best proof. Everyone knows that Emperor Guangxu has no children, but now he has given birth to a big fat boy.History is changing because of Guan Xuqing, which makes him dare not slack off every day, like sitting on pins and needles.

"Go, let Liang Qichao and Kang Youwei come over." Guan Xuqing said to Wang Shang who was beside him.

"Your Majesty, it's Zishi now. You have to go to court tomorrow, so your Majesty should rest first." Wang Shang said thoughtfully.

Just as Guan Xuqing was about to explode, an eunuch took control of him.But when he turned around and saw the gray temples, Wang Shang, who had taken care of him for 17 years since he entered the palace at the age of four, and was almost inseparable, lost his temper all of a sudden.

"Well, forget it. You should go to rest earlier." After speaking, Guan Xuqing walked towards the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Guan Xuqing held a red candle in his hand and carefully looked at the map on the wall.Now Japan's chronic disease has finally been eliminated, but the Qing Navy also suffered heavy losses.

In addition, it is not difficult to see from this war that the army of the Qing Dynasty is still too small. It may be difficult for a standing army of 100 million to defend this growing country, but the current domestic arms manufacturing speed simply cannot meet the troops of more than 100 million.Industrial development is also imminent.

Now I have received a total of 15 billion silver dollars in compensation from Japan. Although it is paid off in five years, only 3 million is recorded in the account every year.However, the profits from the tariffs in their own hands may be more than 3 million, and they can also take the opportunity to please the United Kingdom.At least it can prevent Britain from attacking itself in a short period of time, so that it will have more time to recuperate.Only in the future will we be able to completely push Britain out of the Far East.

Seeing Japan's disastrous defeat, Russia, which was eyeing the tiger from the north, also wanted a share of the pie.Starting from Sakhalin Island, it landed in Yanai, Hokkaido, and attacked Japan.

I thought that Japan, which was beaten by the Qing Dynasty, would definitely not be able to stop the tough attacks of Tsarist Russia, but it still hit the ashes on the nose.Since the Emperor of Japan moved to Hokkaido, and most of the land in the south of Japan was occupied by the Qing Dynasty, the elite main force was concentrated in Hokkaido. The two divisions of the Russian landing force were beaten and fled directly. go back.

It is not difficult to see from this that Tsarist Russia's ambitions are still quite large.Don't look at the peace and harmony with the Qing Dynasty now, the land that was previously occupied by the Qing Dynasty seems to have acquiesced, but if there is a chance, this fart wolf will rush up madly and bite you fiercely.

However, it is absolutely impossible to defend the unobstructed border in the north without leaks. At least 20 divisions must be deployed in a few key strategic places to defend firmly.But now there are only 40 divisions in the country, and it is obviously impossible to use up half of the national defense forces in the north.

Southeast, Burma, Vietnam, North Korea, and Northwest provinces are all important strategic locations, and they all need to be heavily guarded, not to mention that several important cities in the country also need to be guarded by heavy troops. In addition, Nagasaki, which was leased from Japan, must also be placed at least one The strength of the division, which makes Guan Xu feel sad, people hate the less when they need to use the story, but now he hates the less when the soldiers are used.

It seems that the continued increase of troops is imminent, but weapons and equipment will definitely not be purchased from abroad. Since the Qing Dynasty has the ability to manufacture guns comparable to foreign countries, there is no reason to buy them from abroad.

It seems that Japan's first payment of compensation was used to pay for the soldiers, and the rest was used to increase the number of firearms and manufacture weapons and equipment in large quantities.It is planned to control the number of conventional army at around 200 million.

"Your Majesty, it's late at night. It's time for you to rest." Wang Shang said impatiently beside him.

Guan Xuqing turned his head, only to realize that the red candle in his hand had almost burned out, and said to Wang Shang, "Didn't I tell you to go to sleep, why are you still here?"

"My servant, don't worry about your majesty. Your majesty is working hard for the country, so you have to take care of your dragon's body!" Wang Shang pleaded.

Guan Xuqing handed the red candle to Wang Shang, stretched his waist and said, "Okay, okay, I'm going to sleep now."

After forcing Japan to sign the Treaty of Tokyo, the whole world has a new understanding of the Qing Dynasty.Whether it is the established Britain and France, or the upstart Germany and the United States, they all try their best to win over this Eastern Lion.

Competing in East Asia Chapter 168 Sending troops to Thailand

Except for the second division that stayed in Nagasaki, all the troops of Lu Yiwei's Southeast Army returned to the country.And Xu Bangdao was also promoted to the commander of the second division because of his military exploits, and Chen Shanyuan became the commander of the brigade.

After Feng Xianghua returned to the capital, he was directly appointed as the Marshal, succeeding Zuo Zongtang as the Grand Marshal of the Qing Navy and Army.This surprising but reasonable appointment also caused a wave of moderate waves.

One morning, in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"Your Majesty, Germany's offensive in Thailand has been frustrated recently. Germany is restrained by France and cannot continue to increase its troops to the Far East. It hopes to borrow troops from the Qing Dynasty to help them occupy Thailand." said Feng Xianghua, who had just succeeded Li Hongzhang in charge of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. .

Guan Xuqing thought for a moment, then said slowly: "Xianghua, how do you think we should reply to Germany?"

"My minister thinks that the Qing Dynasty has been quite tense in recent years to expand its territory. Now it is time to recuperate, develop industries and continue to increase troops. The mess in Thailand is fine." Feng Xianghua has returned from Japan since he returned. A lot calmer.Handling things has also matured a lot.

"Well, that's right. But Germany is my ally of the Qing Dynasty, and now our two [-]-ton battleships of the Qing Dynasty are still being built in Germany. My Qing Dynasty has just withdrawn troops from Japan. If the excuse of insufficient troops is not willing to send troops at this time, I am afraid It is considered by Germany as an excuse for my unwillingness to help the Qing Dynasty. I am afraid it will worsen the relationship between the two countries." Guan Xuqing nodded with a smile and said.
