Since Germany docked its warships in the Gulf of Thailand, just as Guan Xuqing expected, Britain regarded Germany as an imaginary enemy in the Far East.However, the German warships indirectly became a natural barrier in the South China Sea of ​​the Qing Dynasty. Now in the entire East Asia, except for the British warships that can pose a threat to the Qing Dynasty, other countries can be ignored.The appearance of German warships undoubtedly helped the Qing Dynasty a lot. Judging from this effect, it was cost-effective to give up the whole of Thailand to Germany, let alone picking up a granary for nothing.

In the next few years, there will be no more wars in the Qing Dynasty.East Asia is basically completely under control, except for the British troops in Malaysia and Singapore.But those British troops are now at war with the German army in southern Thailand, and they have no time to take care of the Qing Dynasty.It also gave the Qing Dynasty enough time to develop its own industry, shipbuilding, economy, etc.

In addition to the gradual increase in taxes every year, Japan's compensation, and the zero tariffs of the Qing government in Japan, it almost monopolizes Japan's light industry.Clothes, shoes, pants, socks, millet, and salt all need to be imported from the Qing Dynasty. Even Japanese fishermen have to rent Qing gunboats to escort them when they go fishing.The Japanese economy plummeted, while the Qing Dynasty made a fortune in Japan.

Guan Xuqing has never lived such a leisurely life since he traveled to the Qing Dynasty.Everything is on the right track. The worship of Guan Xuqing by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty has reached the point of blindness, and even the famous "two whatevers" theory of the later Hua Guofeng appeared in advance.It's just that the protagonist has changed from the great Chairman Mao to Guan Xuqing.

But there are still differences between Manchu and Han, just like racial discrimination in later generations.Alas, on the way to Zhongcui Palace, Guan Xuqing frowned and sighed heavily. The development of science and technology, military revitalization, agricultural issues, and personnel training issues. . .This stall, which stall is not a mess that kills people. .

Seeing Guan Xuqing sighing, Wang Shang turned around and said, "Your Majesty..." He also sighed and said, "I often think that if your Majesty continues to be so diligent in governing, our Qing Dynasty will definitely be revived, but Your Majesty, you should also cherish the dragon's body." ah."

Guan Xuqing smiled and didn't answer, but waved them forward.

I just talked to Feng Xianghua about this moment, and if I didn’t pay attention, it was already the willow tip on the moon. This is the eighth day of the lunar new year, the moment when the crescent moon is just like a hook, and a silver hook hangs high in the sky, a little elegant and a little lonely .

When he arrived at the Zhongcui Palace, Guan Xuqing suddenly felt a sense of peace and warmth in his heart. He couldn't explain why, but it was that feeling.Guan Xuqing didn't know why he had that refreshing feeling until Wang Shangxuan drove and many women came out to greet him.

A few days ago, in order to be busy fighting with Japan and Thailand.I have hardly seen Concubine Lan, and now I see her again.

The women's disheveled clothes and panic mixed with joyful expressions clearly told Guan Xuqing that they were already asleep.This made Guan Xuqing feel a little embarrassed, so he smiled and said: "I'm bothering you," and looked at that delicate and shy face and said: "Concubine Lan, the queen gave birth to a prince for me. You Don't you have this idea? Go to bed so early?"

"The concubine serves the emperor sincerely and sincerely. It is good to have a prince. If there is no concubine, the concubine's fortune is not enough. I can only blame myself for my bad luck!" Concubine Lan said slowly as she knelt down on the ground.

Guan Xuqing walked in casually, and said, "Calm down, I'm tired. Concubine Lan, I heard that you have a good voice. Come on, give me a little bit."

"Yes." Concubine Lan got up, but the maid handed her a piano that Guan Xuqing couldn't understand at all.

"Grass-green skirt dyed with daisy on the waist and mountain, I don't know how to hate and worry. When Mochou crossed the river in a boat, nine luan hairpins, two phoenix belts, a glass of wine and persuasion are like the sea."

Guan Xuqing, who was dozing off, waited until she finished singing the song in a tactful and frustrating manner, then opened his eyes and smiled at her.

Guan Xuqing's impression of her slightly chubby type was quite different from that of Empress Jingfen's skinny type.He recalled the previous feeling, and asked in his mouth: "Who wrote this word? It has a different flavor."

Concubine Lan was coquettish again, and said angrily: "The emperor is only obsessed with the queen, but he has forgotten everything about the courtiers and concubines. It is Mr. Wen Ting Shiwen."

Wen Ting style, Wen Ting style. . .It's also familiar.

"How could I forget, I still ordered him Tanhualang." He said, pulling her back to the bed and pressing her under him, "Don't be jealous of the queen, I just came to see your sisters? ", as she spoke, she became excited again, and wanted to strip off her clothes.The maid at the door saw her and giggled.

Concubine Lan blushed and reprimanded: "Go out, what are you looking at?" The maids closed the door and retreated.Concubine Lan then turned her head and said: "I haven't seen you for a long time, the emperor is much more energetic than in the past. Uh huh, it hurts the emperor, ah. The emperor spares the concubine, you have to go to the court soon .”

Guan Xuqing is just in the mood, how can he stop?Immediately peeled her into a white sheep, let go of the restraint and started to move, said in the mouth: "It doesn't matter if I go later. I will deal with you foxy girl first."

Concubine Lan closed her eyes tightly and didn't say anything, she just moaned in a low voice, sometimes hugging Guan Xuqing tightly, sometimes pinching him, it took about a stick of incense, and finally it was over happily.Concubine Lan took another breath for a while, hugged Guan Xuqing and said, "Your Majesty, although the concubine also wants to, it's just... the emperor should put the state affairs first. If I am always immersed in the affairs of the harem, I am afraid that the concubine will worry about it." Infamy."

"Well, you're right. I won't come here from now on." Guan Xuqing got up to get dressed, and teased.

"The emperor is making fun of him again." Concubine Lan also got up to help get dressed naked, listened to Guan Xuqing's jokes, slapped him lightly and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Wen is really talented, you can see him again someday .”

"Yeah." I was really tired after venting, and with a clingy woman like Concubine Lan, it took more energy to deal with it.So she closed her eyes without speaking, and let her dress herself.

"Let's go, Your Majesty. Concubine... It would be disrespectful to send the Emperor respectfully like this... Concubine... Waiting for the Emperor tonight..." Concubine Lan dressed me and went back On the bed, he half-covered his body and instructed.

Guan Xuqing laughed, opened the door, turned around and said, "Call your sister together.", turned his head, greeted Wang Shang who had already been waiting outside the door, and left for Zhengda Guangming Hall.

Competition in East Asia 176 Chapter Zaifeng

Just after the new year, there is still a festive atmosphere everywhere.Although it was only the fourth watch, the palace had already begun to become lively.

Today Guan Xuqing called Daqi, and all the officials above the third rank in Beijing entered the palace.When Guan Xuqing arrived at Zhengda Guangming Hall, all the officials had been waiting for a long time.Among so many people, there is a child who is only ten years old who is very eye-catching.

Although he is only ten years old, it is not difficult to see from the positions of the ministers.The status of this child is quite noble, he is Emperor Guangxu's younger brother Zaifeng, who is also the famous second generation Prince Jin in history.

Looking at this younger brother, Guan Xuqing once again thought of Prince Jin who blocked the fatal knife for himself.That kind father!

Wang Shang's sharp voice announced the imperial decree that Guan Xuqing had drawn up long ago, to the effect that Zaifeng would inherit Prince Jin and enjoy the treatment of Prince Jin.And let the prince who became famous by visiting Germany at the age of 18 go to Germany again, this time just to study.

It can be said that Guan Xuqing has very high expectations for this younger brother, because from a historical point of view.This Zaifeng is very loyal to the Qing Dynasty, and he is also quite firm in maintaining imperial power.

"I obey the decree." Zaifeng, who was only ten years old, knelt down on the ground after hearing the imperial decree announced by Wang Shang, and kowtowed to thank him.

Guan Xuqing nodded in satisfaction, turned around and said to Peng Yulin: "In the past two years of continuous wars, I haven't gone to Liaodong to worship my ancestors. I will go to Liaodong when the spring begins this year. One is to worship the ancestors, and the other is to see Look at your armaments. Now that the Russians are aggressive, you need to train your soldiers well. Have you carefully trained the new firearms allocated to you?"

Although Peng Yulin is a Han Chinese, Guan Xuqing regards him as highly as many Manchu nobles.As the second in command of the Ministry of War, Peng Yulin holds the direct command of the Northeast Group Army guarding Mobei and other places in Liaodong.

"The master is worried about the humiliation of his ministers, and the emperor is worried about the incompetence of the slaves, but please rest assured, the soldiers of Liaodong, the slaves must take good care of them, and the emperor will not let the emperor worry!" Peng Yulin knelt down on the ground and replied.

Guan Xuqing nodded with a smile and said: "Get up, I'm just talking gossip to make you feel worried, don't always play the right pattern like this, I have been in this pattern all year round, and I'm bored to death, today Let's talk about military affairs, and we can say whatever we want. I have thought about these things for a long time. Liaodong is the foundation of our dynasty. The north is strong against Russia, and the south is weak against the Tibetans, so the burden on your shoulders is not great. light."

Peng Yulin bowed and wanted to kneel down again, Guan Xuqing laughed and shook his head and said, "Yulin, don't be too cautious. I'm called Daqi today, and I want you to talk about military affairs and civil affairs, not You came to kowtow. There are not enough people who kowtow to me every day?"

Peng Yulin smiled and said: "The master is benevolent, but we slaves dare not forget the etiquette." Peng Yulin knelt down and said, "I have thought about this matter in private, and I didn't say anything. It's fighting. Soldiers come to block. It's all over the place, Master Feng just finished recruiting the new army, and now the Northeast has doubled its troops, if the Russians take advantage of it again, the emperor doesn't need to punish him, the servant cut off his own head."

"Well, this is determination. To have this heart is to have loyalty. But as a soldier, you are a general with a strong army in your hands. Loyalty alone is not enough. You also need to be brave and wise. What I want to say is that marching and fighting Don’t just think about defending, how much climate can be defended? The Northeast Group Army is guarding Heilongjiang, where the gate of Liaodong is located. Presumably Yulin has some strategies for defending these places, right?” Guan Xuqing continued to ask.

Peng Yulin stood up vigorously, puffed out his chest and said: "But there is a war, and I am willing to personally raise my master to go north to serve the emperor!"

Guan Xuqing laughed, this guy was cute and naive, clapped his hands and said: "Okay, with your courage, you must be a good soldier. Well, let's stop here today, I just want to knock you, state-owned Evil neighbors, don't relax your war preparedness for a moment!"

"Cha!" Peng Yulin retreated to his seat.

Guan Xuqing made a quick decision after listening to the memorials from various ministries, and after listening to Li Zhen's estimate of the amount of tax revenue that could be collected by March this year, he hurriedly went to court and returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Since the eldest elder brother was raised by Queen Jingfen with the consent of Guan Xuqing, he would go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to see their mother and child every day after the court.

But after Jingfen had a son, the huge palace no longer waited for Guan Xuqing's luck every day.She put more attention on this little life who had just come into this world, and she was no longer jealous of who Guan Xuqing wanted to sleep with.

"The emperor is here." Wang Shang's unique voice told everyone that the emperor was coming.

All the maids and eunuchs came to the door and knelt down on the ground. "The emperor is auspicious."

Guan Xuqing ignored them and strode in.

"The concubine pays respects to the emperor on behalf of the elder brother." Empress Jingfen bowed.

"Get up, let me take a look at my son." Guan Xuqing hugged the child from the nurse excitedly.

"Your Majesty, are things going well in the court recently? The concubine is very happy to see the Emperor so happy." Jingfen rarely saw Guan Xuqing so happy.

"Well, it's going well. But what I'm most happy about is that this little guy can grow up healthily, and you can be healthy and healthy." Guan Xuqing turned and said to Jingfen.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jingfen was overwhelmed by flattery, and was completely moved.

Guan Xuqing saw that Jingfen's slightly flushed face looked even more alluring under the flickering lights.

"Nurse, take elder brother out." Guan Xuqing handed the child back to the nurse.
