After receiving the call, the guard at the door came out and said: "Chief of Staff, you can go in!"
Tang Shaoyi said to the guard: "Please help inform that Imperial Prime Minister Tang Shaoyi wants to see you."
Qin Erbao said: "Come on, Old Tang, come in with me, we are here together."
Tang Shaoyi said to the guard: "Is this okay?"
The guard stretched out his hand and said: "Identification." Although he knew the Prime Minister, he still had to follow the procedures to check the identification.
Tang Shaoyi handed the ID to the guard. After checking it, the guard returned it to him and said, "That's it."
"Thank you." Tang Shaoyi said.
Qin Erbao said: "Let's go!"
Tang Shaoyi and Erbao walked in side by side. Tang Shaoyi said, "Erbao, has there been any progress in the Philippines?"
Qin Erbao shook his head.
"no?"
"No, the Philippines side is not under my command. They just gave me the news and asked me to pass it on to the young master. The main command was an officer named Haji from Hawaii, and Chen Zheng just made some plans and handed them over to him. And I don¡¯t understand the situation in the Philippines. If I, who is thousands of miles away, are asked to take command, I can only give blind orders." Qin Erbao said.
Tang Shaoyi noticed when Er Bao said the word "command" when Er Bao was speaking, a trace of envy flashed in his eyes. He said: "Er Bao, you actually want to go to the battlefield and command the enemy, right?"
Qin Erbao raised his head and said: "How many soldiers don't like to go to the front line? The person who answered 'no' can't be regarded as a real soldier! I think back then, in North America,
I son. That¡¯s really nostalgic! "
Tang Shaoyi didn¡¯t want to hear him talk about those heroic deeds in North America. He had heard enough before, so he said: ¡°Come on, tell me how many foreigners you killed in total when you were in North America?¡±
"Over the past few years, there have been two to three thousand! They were all people who came over after hearing that we had gold. I killed hundreds of them by myself." Erbao recalled.
"Two or three thousand? How many of you are there?"
"At the earliest, there were about 200 people, and at the most, it was almost 700. Most of the people who joined later were Chinese who were rescued by us and kidnapped by foreigners. Think about it, we were the largest force in the area at that time. Once those foreigners Anyone who enters our sphere of influence will be killed."
While talking, they arrived at the Seventeen-hole Bridge. After Qin Erbao handed over his weapon, he asked the guards to search him, and then Tang Shaoyi.
When the two entered Nanhu Island. Qin Ge has already asked the chef to serve the food. Li Xi is the monarch of a country, so Qin Ge can't be too shabby. Just like the last time he hosted U.S. Vice President Hobart, he didn't even treat others to a meal.
Qin Ge was surprised when he saw him coming in: "Huh? Didn't you say there are only two treasures? Shaochuan is here too!"
"I saw Erbao at the door and followed him in." Tang Shaoyi said.
"Oh, this is the leader of North Korea, Li Xi." Qin Ge introduced.
Tang Shaoyi and Qin Erbao just nodded slightly to Li Xi. Li Xi felt sad and angry in his heart, no matter what, I am the monarch of a country, you girls should all scream! However, Li Xi knew that the background of these two people was definitely not small. Although he was the monarch of North Korea, he had to talk about his status. Definitely not as good as these two.
Qin Ge introduced two important ministers to Li Xi: "This is the imperial prime minister Tang Shaoyi, and this is the chief of the general staff Qin Erbao. Both of them are the pillars of the empire."
"Your Majesty has given you too much praise!" Tang Shaoyi said.
Li Xi thought to himself, as expected, the status of the two of them is second only to the emperor in China. But these two people can disrespect him. But he couldn't be rude to these two people. If these two people were not happy and said a few random words to Emperor Tianwu, it would be really difficult to save North Korea. This is the difference! He recognized Tang Shaoyi at this time. Tang Shaoyi once served as the Consul General of the Qing Dynasty, although he had cut off his braids. But you can recognize it if you look carefully. This Tang Shaoyi was an official of the Qing Dynasty. Unexpectedly, he would sit in the position of Prime Minister of the Chinese Empire! Li Xi was surprised and lamented Qin Ge's magnanimity. Not many people could do it to make an official from the previous dynasty the prime minister of the current dynasty. He smiled and said to the two of them: "Hello, Premier Tang, and hello, Minister Qin."
Qin Erbao didn¡¯t expect Gao Li Bangzi to speak Chinese so well, and said curiously: ¡°Oh, King Li¡¯s Chinese is really standard.¡±
"Minister Qin is joking. In North Korea, people with good status can speak Chinese well." Li Xidao.
North Korea is a vassal state of China, and Chinese is the foreign language that North Korea has officially promoted for many years. In North Korea, many people of high status can speak Chinese well. Especially during the powerful Ming and Qing dynasties, Koreans were proud to know Chinese. After the Manchus entered the customs, in order to facilitate their rule, they also learned Chinese. Gradually, those in the Aixinjueluo family who could speak ManchuNot much. If you say something in Manchu to Guangxu, he won't know what it means.
Tang Shaoyi was not surprised by this. When he was in North Korea, he saw many sticks who could speak Chinese. Qin Ge said: "Have you two eaten? Yes! Sit down and eat whether you have eaten or not!" Then he said to the maid: "Go and see how the princess is doing, and urge her to come over quickly."
"Yes." The maid bowed and went to find the imperial concubine.
Qin Ge said: "Sit, sit! It's not urgent for you two to come to me today, right? Let's talk about this after dinner."
After Bingbing arrived, they started eating. Tang Shaoyi and Qin Erbao had already eaten before arriving and didn't eat much. After finishing the meal, Qin Ge said to Li Xi: "Well, you go back and discuss it with the ministers who came with you. As for the agreement on the vassal state, you can just take the time to talk to Tang Shaoyi."
"yes."
After Li Xi left, Qin Ge said, "Let's go to the imperial study."
After sitting down, Qin Ge said: "Er Bao, you tell me first!"
Qin Erbao said: "Yes, the defenders in the Chahar area sent news that the leader of the Kulun Banner sent someone to submit a peace agreement and decided to give up.
li. "
"What a good thing! Wait a minute, shouldn't the Cullen family be headed by those princes from the former Qing Dynasty? Why did they become the banner masters?" Qin Ge said without waiting for Erbao to finish.
"It is said that the current flag owner got the guns from the Russians, rebelled with arms, killed those Mongolian princes, and became the flag owner himself."
"Well, what do you think about this?" Qin Ge asked
"Due to the weather, we were unable to send people to conduct reconnaissance. We never knew what happened in Outer Mongolia. If the Mongols and Maozi were fighting, then the peace talks are worthy of belief, but if it was a trap, we would send troops to start a Entering Kulun means you may slip into the pockets of the Russians and Mongols. Therefore"
"Well, it's possible. Is there any more news?"
"Yes, the messenger said that they killed nearly 100,000 people in Culun and another place, and took one person's head with them.
hair
It was said that this was the collection of a Russian general named Bogtunev, but his head was smashed and it was impossible to tell his identity. "Qin Erbao said.
Qin Ge said: "You mean, our plan to withdraw from Mongolia and let the Mongols and the Russians fight among themselves has been completed?"
¡°Well, I just don¡¯t know if it¡¯s true or not right now.¡±
"It's hard to judge this. Shaochuan. What about you? Did you bring any good news?" Qin Ge turned to Tang Shaoyi.
"I have good news and bad news, which one will your Majesty hear first?"
¡°Tell me the good news first!¡± Qin Ge said.
Tang Shaoyi said: "This news is also about Mongolia. The former Qing Dynasty general Ulyasutai sent people to
Jing submitted a letter of surrender, saying that he would surrender to the empire. "
Qin Ge frowned: "Huh? Ulia Sutai? Kulun?" Qin Ge thought for a moment and said: "So, the surrender of these two places is true!"
"Congratulations to the Emperor for taking back Outer Mongolia without spending a single soldier!" Tang Shaoyi also figured out the key and congratulated Qin Ge.
Erbao, however, didn¡¯t understand why and asked: ¡°What, what¡¯s going on? How can we be sure that Culun and Ulyasutai really surrendered?¡±
Qin Ge and Tang Shaoyi smiled, and Qin Ge said, "Shaochuan, tell me."
"Yes." Tang Shaoyi responded and said: "First of all, Ulyasutai. This was the Manchu garrison in Outer Mongolia during the pre-Qing Dynasty. After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, according to the intelligence of your army, General Ulyasutai did not make a request
li and signs of contact with Russia, and also severed contact with Cullen and other ministries. Then there's Cullen. After the Imperial Army withdraws from Outer Mongolia, Russia will definitely want to make Outer Mongolia surrender and make Outer Mongolia become Russia's territory, but the Mongols obviously will not be willing to do so, and the possibility of a fight is also greater, and the Mongols It can be said that progress is cheap in Outer Mongolia. It's not unusual to win against the Russians. But after winning the war, they were worried about massive retaliation from the Russians, so it was normal to surrender to the empire. Cullen and Ulyasutai had no contact after the Qing Dynasty, but it was still more convenient for the two sides to find out information from each other. The road from Ulyasutai to the capital is much longer than that from Kulun to Chahar, which shows that people from Ulyasutai set off much earlier. The weather at this time is not suitable for traveling such a long way to deliver a message, but both sides have sent people to deliver letters of surrender, which means that something big must have happened in Mongolia, and then they sent people at this time, as if they hope to control Outer Mongolia. official position. therefore"
"Wait a minute, you're saying it's unreasonable for them to send a letter at this time, right?"
"Yes, if this is the right time to send a message, then the imperial army has already arrived in Cullen. So what drives them to send a message in such weather?"What? That's a power struggle! Dong Fuxiang is now the governor of Gansu and has an iron rice bowl. The rulers of Mongolia want to
li, they will always pay attention to some situations in the empire, so they must know about Dong Fuxiang. Moreover, the letter of surrender sent by Ulyasutai also revealed his intention to obtain the management rights of Outer Mongolia. In this way, General Ulyasutai must have found out that something big happened in Kulun. What major event could make General Uriyasutai be the first to send someone to deliver a letter of surrender? It must be that the Mongols and the Russians in Kulun fought, and at the same time they won and wanted to surrender to the empire, so they sent people to send a letter to surrender first, hoping that without us knowing what happened in Kulun, To obtain the management rights of Outer Mongolia. Moreover, the letter handed to me said that he, Ulyasutai, could put down the unrest in Kulun. With Ulyasutai's strength, he could not defeat two thousand Russian troops. How could he dare to boast that he could put down the unrest in Kulun? The only explanation is that the leader of the Cullen banner defeated the Russians and decided to surrender at the same time. However, it is really admirable that His Majesty can conclude that the Mongols in Kulun and Maozi are working together just based on the letters of surrender sent from Outer Mongolia. "Tang Shaoyi said.
"Then, in that case, only xin is left at this time
Ji¨¡ng? "Qin Erbao said.
"Well, only xin is left
It¡¯s ji¨¡ng, but it¡¯s just xin
? ji¨¡ng is easy to handle. Just walk along the water and you can find people. "Xin
Ji¨¡ng is much easier to use than Mongolia. First of all, it is impossible to live in the Taklimakan Desert. Then residents must survive where there is water, as long as they continue to occupy water sources. Then the rebels would have no way to escape.
"The time for the unification of the empire is not far away!" Tang Shaoyi said.
¡°It will take a long time for Hong Kong to be taken back,¡± Qin Ge said.
"What are the British? As long as the emperor gives permission, Hong Kong can be recovered in two days, no, one day, just one day." Qin Erbao said.
"It's not good for an Englishman to start a fight now! Well, now that both good news are confirmed, what's the bad news?" Qin Ge asked.
"The bad news is about currency reform." Tang Shaoyi said.
"go on."
This was after the end of the Southwest War in 1977. Began to learn about the unified currency of European countries, and banknotes began to circulate in the market. Established in 1882
This bank later experienced inflation. However, they were all replaced by the current
The Prime Minister of Japan stabilized the financial system by recycling banknotes, but
At this time, the monetary system was still based on silver. By studying European countries, we found that many problems occurred in the early stages of banknote issuance. At the same time, if the national strength is insufficient, it is easy to cause inflation, such as
i Japan, but nothing like this happened in the UK. This is because the British treasury has larger gold reserves. If we want to implement the gold standard, first of all, the gold reserves in the national treasury cannot be guaranteed, and then the current silver cannot be collected at all. Once a country like ours that uses a lot of silver announces that it will switch to the gold standard, the price of silver will definitely fall sharply. This has caused huge losses to the people. "Tang Shaoyi said.
"Why can't I collect the silver?"
"Currently, silver is widely used in various transactions. And whether we are issuing banknotes now, if you want to obtain silver by selling some assets and stocks, you won't be able to exchange it for much."
"Then let's find another way! Spend all the money, spend it as much as possible, and ask the wealthy businessmen to exchange the money for pounds if you can't spend it." Qin Ge said.
"Spend it? How to spend it?" Tang Shaoyi asked.
"Combine all the money from businessmen who set up factories in various places. All the equipment will be
??Fu purchases directly from Europe. As for converting it into pounds, let the merchants change it themselves and just let some news out. "Qin Ge said. zh¨¨ng
??Fu centralized purchasing, the huge transaction volume, the seller will definitely have to discount. Not only does the equipment become cheaper, but the silver is also given away. At present, those who have a lot of money are the wealthy businessmen and landlords. Smart people know that investing in factories at this time not only has policy support, but also the factory construction costs are low. Although the law stipulates that workers cannot be abused, even if workers are paid Even with a sufficient salary, you can still make a lot of money. Moreover, Qin Ge asked Tang Shaoyi to reveal a little bit about the gold standard. If he still clings to cash, he can only blame himself.
"What a good idea!" Tang Shaoyi said, "We let out a little bit of news and asked everyone with a lot of silver in their hands to exchange it for pounds, and then implemented reforms. Finally, we turned back to pounds and exchanged pounds for gold from the UK. That's it. As soon as you come, there is no need to tell
??Fu buys silver and resells it, and the merchants can exchange it themselves, which can also avoid the government of other countries.
FU is suspicious, it's wonderful! "
Seeing Li Xi coming back with a sad face, Pu Jinyi hurriedly stepped forward to ask:??: "Your Majesty, how are you doing?"
"He asked for Jeju Island."
"What? This is absolutely unacceptable! In the history of our country, Korea, there has been no precedent for ceding land. Although we have ceded land to the Central Plains people in the past, those people were originally from the Central Plains. But Jeju Island has always been the territory of our country, North Korea. ! You must not agree to him! Your Majesty, you will not agree, will you? This will become a sinner for the ages!" Park Jinyi almost jumped onto the rafters when he heard that China wanted to acquire Jeju Island, but he was too old.
Seeing that Li Xi was silent, Pu Jinyi said with a hint of despair: "Your Majesty! You didn't really agree, did you?"
Li Xi shook his head, Pu Jinyi breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "Huh, it's a good thing that the emperor didn't agree, otherwise he would have become the eternal sinner of North Korea!"
"Hey~~~" Li Xi sighed and said: "Although I have not agreed to Emperor Tianwu, if I don't agree, do you think we can return to North Korea? Impossible. If he wants Jeju Island, he can't get it. Reason. Currently, Chinese troops are stationed on Jeju Island! Our North Korea is too weak!"
We, North Korea, are too weak! North Korea is too weak! too weak!
After hearing this, Park Jinyi felt as if a plate of cold water had been poured from head to toe. North Korea is too weak at this time. If China wants Jeju Island, what will North Korea have to fight for? In the past, the Qing Dynasty was lonely and lonely.
When Japan rises, North Korea can survive in the cracks. At first Concubine Min hoped to use
I originally wanted to expel the Manchu Qing forces, but Daewuanjun hoped to regain power through the Manchu Qing Dynasty. But Concubine Min went, and Lord Dayuan also went.
" Japan has plummeted, and China has changed dynasties. In this era when justice is only within the range of cannons, where should North Korea go? Break away from China? China can destroy North Korea in two days. Find another great power to compete with China? Concubine Min has proven that this doesn't work.
Park Jinyi said bitterly: "Then, are you going to give Jeju Island to China like this?"
Li Xi suddenly clenched his fists, raised his head at a forty-five-degree angle to the roof, and said, "I'll try my best to survive!"
"Sleeping on the firewood and tasting courage?" Pu Jinyi said.
"Yes! Gou Jian, the king of Yue, was humiliated by Fu Chai, the king of Wu, and he finally achieved great things! Gou Jian can do it! I, Li Xi, can do the same! Jeju Island is just handed over to China first. , when our North Korea becomes stronger, we will definitely get it back!" Li Xi said excitedly.
"Good! Good! With a wise king like the emperor, North Korea will surely become prosperous and powerful! It will catch up with China! There may even be one
i! We, North Korea, will become the most powerful country in the world! emperor! No matter what you do! All the veterans will support you! "Pu Jinyi said.
Night, Nanhu Island Imperial Study Room.
"The most powerful country in the world? Pfft! Hahahahahaha! The most powerful country in the world? Shouldn't it be the most powerful country in the universe?" Qin Ge couldn't help laughing when he saw the note sent by the "ghost".
"Tianwu, what are you laughing at?"
"Nothing, nothing!"
