Yi Zhizu is not unfamiliar with Prince Dun Yizhi. He has been in the capital for a long time but not short. He has dealt with the other party. Yizhi ranks fifth, and he calls him Xiaowu Master. He originally didn't understand that the fifth master was the fifth master. Why did he add it later to know that this refers to the legacy of the absurd prince of the Qianlong Dynasty, Hongzhou, and Hongzhou is also ranked fifth. The fifth master was famous in the four nine cities.

However, Yi Zhizu knew that both Hongzhou and Yi Qiong seemed absurd, but in fact they were extremely smart. After all, the prince education of the Qing Dynasty was notoriously strict, but there were not many fools.

He listened to the other party praised the spirit of short hair, and he smiled distractedly, "Yuan Qi has always advocated Western learning and Western liberalism. This is also the mainstream idea of ​​Western countries, covering all aspects of social, political, economic and life in Western countries. You should study it carefully when you go to the West this time.

Personal freedom is the core and essence of liberalism. All reasonable freedoms, such as freedom of clothing, freedom of hairstyle, freedom of speech, freedom of press, freedom of belief, etc., are the most basic freedoms."

Speaking of this, he paused and continued: "The people's identification with the country focuses on national identity and cultural identity. As for the identification with hairstyle, clothing identity and customs identity, they are just details. There is no need to force it, but should be given full freedom and respect."

Yixun and Yixun did not expect the other party to say such a big truth casually. However, liberalism was obviously very suitable for Yixun's appetite. He chuckled and said, "This time I am on the West, I will really think about this liberalism." As he said that, he reached out and gave in and said, "Please, Guocheng."

When I entered the house and sat down, Yixiu was not polite, and said straight: "This time, the imperial court attached great importance to the missions of Western countries. The purpose, tasks, precautions, and relevant disciplines of the missions are all perfect. However, there is one thing I have to solemnly remind you to visit prostitutes!

Whether it is a port of call along the way or a city in Western countries, all mission members are not allowed. Why specifically declare this? Because this trip to the country has been a long time, and it may take two or three years. It is normal for men to have physiological needs. However, Africa and Europe are the hardest hit areas of flower and willow disease, especially France, the Netherlands and other countries can be said to be overflowing.

Western syphilis is fatal! And there is no complete cure yet, it is an incurable disease! Fed with syphilis means not far from death!

During this Crimean War, the British and French coalition forces entered Constantinople. Because the local wine and women were cheap, a large number of soldiers were infected with syphilis. After the war, the soldiers returned to their country. The British and French countries would inevitably have syphilis flooding. In this regard, the delegation must repeatedly and strictly supervise it!”

After hearing this, Yi Xin glanced at Yi Xin and said, "Don't worry, Guocheng, I will definitely supervise it!"

But Yi Qiong said worriedly: "Will there be other epidemics?"

"No!" Yi Zhizu said confidently: "Western countries attach great importance to this visit from the Qing Dynasty, and there is absolutely no need to worry about the security of the mission."

As he said that, he changed his mind, "Now, the Crimean War is about to be around. Britain and France withdraw troops from Crimea, and it is very likely to target our Qing Dynasty. This time, the two have another important task. It is best to eliminate this possible war. If they cannot, they must also delay time."

"Depend time?" Yi Qiong's heart sank, "The meaning of Guocheng is that the possibility of war breaking out is extremely high?"

"Not bad! Maybe it can be said that this war is inevitable!" Yi Zhizu nodded slightly, then took out his jade pipe and lit a cigarette. Because there was no filter, he was now used to smoking cigarettes with his pipe.

Unavoidable? Yixin was shocked and said worriedly: "If war is unavoidable, will it be dangerous for us to go to the West at this time? Will it be detained?"

He spit out a smog of smoke, and he was content with no rush and said: "Sixth Master, there is no need to worry. The seizure of the mission will never happen. There are diplomatic officials in the Qing Dynasty. Besides, even if a war breaks out, it will not be so fast. The mission will first visit Britain, France and other countries, and then go to Citi. Yuan Qi will properly arrange the relevant itinerary."

After letting go, Yi Xin said, "How to eliminate or delay time?"

"I'm not guilty!" Yi Zhizu said: "For the past few years, Britain and France have always had a deficit with the Qing Dynasty, that is, the amount of imports is greater than the amount of exports. The two countries hope to turn the Qing Dynasty into their commodity dumping market, and have always hoped that the Qing Dynasty could expand its trading ports and penetrate into inland provinces.

Spain and the Netherlands will propose to return the two provinces in Southeast Asia, and the two are just slandering, which will delay at least one year."

Yi Xun said puzzledly: "What can Britain and France jointly invade and delay it for a year?"

"After delaying for a year, the war with Heilongjiang will basically end." Yi Zhizu said slowly: "The court and Yuanqi can free up their hands to fight the invasion of Britain and France with all their might. If you don't say you win, you will at least be invincible."

Yixin looked at him and said, "If it was really an inevitable war, Britain and France would probably not let us delay time."

It is indeed possible that Britain and France are not stupid and will not give up this great opportunity to send troops! Yi Zhizu pondered for a while before saying, "Do your best."

Returning to Zhenhai Gong Mansion from Rongyuan, Yi Zhizu just entered the door, and the general manager of the doorman came up to report. Wu Changqing was waiting in Changle Bookstore, saying that there was something important to report.

What will happen to Wu Changqing? About the envoys? Yi Zhizu didn't think much about it. He went straight to the bookstore. When he entered the yard, he saw Wu Changqing wandering around the yard with his hands on his back. He coughed lightly, "In such a cold weather, why are you wandering around the yard?"

"The shopkeeper is back." Wu Changqing came up and bowed, as a greeting, and then said: "A French missionary died in Xilin County, Guangxi, and French Minister Boulboron strongly protested."

A French missionary died? Yi Zhizu frowned, "The missionary can only preach at the trading port, why did he go to Xilin County?"

"The missionary was named Maosdo, also known as Malay. He was a priest of the foreign missionary church in Paris, France. He was originally preaching in Guangzhou, but in order to expand the church's power and develop believers, he had sneaked into Guizhou and Guangxi for missionary missionary many times."

"Get into the house and say." Yi Zhizu's heart sank. Maosdo, the priest? The priest incident? The priest incident that triggered the Second Opium War? It happened so early?

After entering the house and sitting down, Wu Changqing continued: "Guangxi is the birthplace of the Taiping Army's worship of the God Cult. Although the Taiping Army has been driven into Southeast Asia, the local governments in Guangxi are very wary of worshiping the God Cult. Ma Lai preached in Xilin and was reported by Protestants. The new magistrate Zhang Mingfeng immediately issued a fire sign to arrest him.

Ma Lai in Yaoshan and some local believers were arrested in total. Ma Lai was first interrogated and was punished to stand in a cage. He could not help but torture to death. Finally, he was beheaded and displayed in public. Two other illegal believers were also beheaded and displayed in public. The rest were punished according to crimes."

After a pause, he continued: "Ma Lai illegally crossed the border and went deep into Xilin, the mainland of Guangxi, gathered people to preach, but he did not die. This is a very difficult place. French Minister Boulbron also stuck to this point."

This is really something you are afraid of! Yi Zhizu was speechless and habitually lit a cigarette. I have to say that the magistrate of Xilin, Zhang Mingfeng, is really ignorant and fearless. This is a foreign-related case. He even punished foreign missionaries without any scruples and punished them for standing cages. I don’t know that standing cages can easily lead to death? What about scooping the cages and standing cages is torture at all!

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Wu Changqing hesitated and said, "Would you temporarily dismiss Zhang Mingfeng, the magistrate of Xilin, and let the French be perfunctory?"

Even if Zhang Mingfeng, the magistrate of Xilin, was dismissed from office and asked about it, it would be useless. It has to be said that the officials of the Qing Dynasty currently do not have the string of foreign-related cases in their minds, which is no wonder. After all, local officials in inland provinces cannot contact foreigners at all.

After pondering for a while, Yi Zhizu said: "The magistrate was a civil servant. Zhang Mingfeng was not a good official. However, don't dismiss his post for the time being. Notify Guangdong and Guangxi, severely reprimand him, and collect evidence of Ma Lai's crimes and make an ironclad case! As for the French diplomatic protests, drag it first."

He knew very well that for France, this was definitely a rare excuse for sending troops. No matter how well they handled this case, it would be meaningless in the end! However, in terms of diplomacy, at least on the surface, it must be able to fool the past.

After Wu Changqing left, Yi Zhizu sighed inwardly, "What should come is coming, and his desire to delay time is probably going to fail. The Russians are really incompetent. Even if it is delayed for half a year, it is good. It is useless to waste his efforts and trade a large amount of arms and food.

It seems that we have to urge Heilongjiang to fight quickly and end the war as soon as possible. At least the war must be ended within this year. After thinking for a while, he ordered to the outside world: "Meilian."

Lin Meilian came in and said, "What are the instructions of the Lord?"

"Let Cao Gensheng." Before he finished speaking, Cao Gensheng was already in quickly with a smile on his face, "Big shopkeeper, Annan call." After pausing, he continued: "Hongji calls, Yang Xiuqing's troops have captured the capital of Annan, and King Nguyen Phuc Shi fled south."

Finally, he captured Hue. Even if Nguyen Phuc was not dead, he could basically announce the demise of the Annan Ruan Dynasty! Yi Zhizu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. What he was most worried about was that Annan asked for help from France. Now that the country has been destroyed, it is useless to ask for help. After pondering for a while, he said: "Call back, and let Yang Xiuqing take advantage of the victory and annex the entire Annan territory in the shortest time. Yuan Qi will supply it at Jiading Port."

"I ordered Yulin Port to launch all its troops to capture Jiading Port in Annan, intercept and annihilate the Annan Navy and the defeated troops in Hue."

"The telegram ordered Yan Yangtian to lead his headquarters back to Manila, and the Annan divisions were commanding the civil and military commanders of the military and military commanders, and ordered him to lead his troops to Hue!"

Cao Gensheng quickly recorded the orders and handed over the folder. Yi Zhizu waved his hand and then said: "Give the military service department a call. The war in Heilongjiang must be decided quickly, and the war will be over this year. The troops will return to Tianjin and the capital as soon as possible."

"Give me a call and tell the two vassal states of Monk King, Zhemengxiong and Brookba that it is best to defeat the troops without fighting. If you want to move troops, you must fight quickly and annex the two countries within this year. In addition, the recruitment of Tibetan soldiers will be carried out as soon as possible, and the new recruits will be transferred to Yangbu, the capital of Gurkhaguo, for training. Be sure to hurry up and form combat power as soon as possible."

"Give Xining a call, and Zhang Lexing's troops left a brigade to station in Xining after the thawing, and the remaining troops moved to Xuzhou."

"This telegram will be forwarded to Yili."

"Give power to Lushun and Dalian to speed up the construction progress of the port."

"In addition, urge Groba to collect casualties between the two sides of the Crimean War as soon as possible."

The capital, the Forbidden City, the Ganqing Palace, and the Western Warm Pavilion.

Looking through the stack of telegrams in his hand, Xianfeng frowned. The telegrams in his hand came from Yixin, Yi Qiong, Yi Zhizuo, Zarafentai, Gongning City, Xinjiang, and Zuo Zongtang of Tarbachtai.

It is obvious that Xining's troops mobilization has reduced the scale of troops sent to the northwest, the rapid battle in the Heilongjiang war, and the minutes of the conversation compiled by Yi Xin all point to one point. Britain and France are very likely to provoke a war in the next two years. This may not be possible, but certain. Otherwise, Yi Jingzu would not be so cautious!

He couldn't help but be worried. The British and French coalition forces could defeat the Russian army with a capacity of up to one million in Crimea, which was not enough for Yuanqi's little force to compete with. What's more, Yuanqi's troops were scattered in the northwest, Yunnan and other places. In the war, the southeast was corrupt and Yuanqi's vitality was severely damaged. The life of the court would only be even more difficult. What's more, in the face of the British and French invasion, the court could not stand by and watch, right?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly. It was endless. Since Yu Ji ascended the throne, he had internal and external troubles and constant wars, and almost no peace has happened. Finally, Yuan Qi took action to quell the civil strife and cleaned up the external troubles. Seeing that peace was coming, Britain and France were causing trouble again. When will this day end?

Seeing that he didn't say anything for a long time, the Prince Taibao, the Grand Secretary of Wuying Palace, and the Minister of Military Affairs Wen Qing said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I pray that I will expand the new army of the Eight Banners. If Britain and France provoke border provocations, the new recruits can go south to assist."

Xianfeng glanced at him and thought that this was a good idea. Sending new recruits to the south can be said to kill two birds with one stone, gaining fame and fortune, and gaining both fame and fortune. As for General Yuan Qi to let the new recruits fight empty-handed, if Yuan Qi was allowed to train and equip the new recruits for the court, he would be allowed to train and equip the new recruits of the Eight Banners for the court.

Of course, there is no need to make this clear. After pondering for a moment, Xianfeng said: "The British and French will provoke the battle one after another?"

"I think it is worse than Yi Jingzuo to understand Western countries." Wen Qing said in a deep voice: "I think that the northwest expansion has been planned for several years. When I was about to send troops, Yi Jingzuo greatly reduced his troops. He must have noticed a huge threat. I begged to pray for the emperor to issue an order to be busy with Yi Jingzuo's detailed reply."

Issuing an order? Will Yishishi follow the order? If he ignores it, he will not come to Taiwan. It might as well be Sushun or Mianyou. Well, Mianyou is in Shanghai, and it is more appropriate to go to Mianyou to ask.
