the throne room
"Annan has been a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty for generations. Now that the French are up to no good, if our dynasty doesn't lend a helping hand, wouldn't North Korea, Myanmar, Siam, and other countries be disappointed? Wouldn't our 800,000-strong army be discouraged? Where is the face of a great country? Now that many big powers are eyeing us covetously, won't the border, Xinzang, and the southeast coast be in danger?”
Peng Yulin's words were full of energy, waking Emperor Guangxu up from his slumber in the hall.
"Are you filming?" Li Ye yawned and muttered softly.
Suddenly, he realized that the rhythm was not right!
The beaded curtain behind the dragon throne also trembled slightly, followed by a few dissatisfied coughs.
Li Ye's head suddenly throbbed with pain as a large amount of information entered his mind…
F * ck! I actually transmigrated! Coming to this parallel world that was nine levels similar to the Qing Dynasty?
So be it!
He even became the emperor of braids! Aisin Gioro? Zaitian?
I'm a Han man born and raised under the red flag!
F * ck my transmigration! And will that old woman Cixi let me go?
Li Ye was a little speechless. It was not a big deal to transmigrate, but at least transmigrate to the Han and Tang dynasties. If you really can't transmigrate, transmigrate to the Ming Dynasty. Don't transmigrate to the Qing Dynasty.
Braids had squandered five thousand years of wealth. Fortunately, the British and French did not dare to go too far in the Opium War. After all, such a huge empire was placed here, and its economic strength was still among the top five in the world.
In the past 100 years, the people were in dire straits. Bones were everywhere, and production was not carried out. All the capital of the entire country was destroyed. In the end, they missed two opportunities to rise. It took more than half a century for them to catch up in terms of total.
"Even if there is one less warlord, it can preserve a lot of the country's vitality.，It wouldn't be so tiring to catch up with the big powers.”Li Ye couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
If they wanted to preserve the country's foundation, save the people from decades of warlords, and let the country rise ahead of time, it might not be impossible.
Since ancient times, top-down improvements required the smallest price to pay.
He was the emperor, so he had the opportunity to do such a thing.
He wanted to eradicate the Manchurian nobles who lived in vain, implement a multi-ethnic rule dominated by the Han, and kill those corrupt officials and cowardly generals who only knew how to suck the bone marrow of the common people and smoke the drug.
Industry, commerce, science and technology, and the military could all be developed! He wanted to carry forward the culture of the Han and Tang Dynasties and educate those foreigners who were full of body odor. He could even directly become the most powerful country.
It was just a matter of national integration. It had been like this since ancient times. He wanted to be the great king.
"Ding! Host detected! Congratulations on obtaining the Sage King System!"
"Ding! He had obtained a newbie gift bag! 100 million taels of silver! A complete set of blueprints and methods for a small blast furnace! Cixi's adultery with Rong Lu, a big gift bag of evidence!”
"3,000 points. You can exchange for information and ability infusion. The system will evaluate the points based on the impact of the host's major events on the entire country.”
Just as Li Ye was thinking about how to plot against Cixi and appease Cian, so that the history of him being poisoned to death by this old woman would not repeat itself, a crisp voice suddenly sounded in his head.
"Finally, the system is finally here. It would be embarrassing to travel without a system!”Li Ye couldn't help but be overjoyed. This situation wasn't something that could be solved by ordinary people. With the system, he could do things much faster.
While Li Ye was still communicating with the system, the officials below no longer paid attention to her and continued their discussion.
After all, the other party was only a twelve-year-old emperor. The two empress dowager were still watching. They sighed and continued to argue.
Recently, the French had been eyeing Annan covetously, and the King of Annan had asked the court for help. These military ministers and executives had long been quarreling.
All of them were arguing with their faces red. If they weren't in the throne room, they would have fought long ago!
Zuo Zongtang and Peng Yulin from the Ministry of War, and Zhang Zhidong from the local area declared war on the French army. Li Hongzhang, Gong Prince Yi Xin, and most of the local governors wanted to give up Annan and strengthen the defense of the southwest region.
As for the rest of the nobles, their clothes were hanging high in the air as if it had nothing to do with them.
" At this moment, our Qing Dynasty is unable to wage war against the foreign powers. Those Shu countries have long been unconvinced of the imperial rule. This time, they only thought of us when the situation was dire. Now, our Qing Dynasty is working hard to become strong and intends to rise. These Shu countries have few people and are extremely barren. It is better to abandon them. After we have learned the skills of the foreigners for ten years, the foreign powers will not dare to easily wage war against us.”
Li Hongzhang stroked his white beard and shook his head. His aim was to endure and learn from Gou Jian, the King of Yue, to buy time for a strong country.
"Humph! Annan is only a line away from Yungui and Guangxi. Once Annan is lost, there will be no barrier in the southwest. What if the legal person takes the opportunity to attack?”Zuo Zongtang couldn't help but sneer. He didn't give Li Hongzhang any face at all.
The two of them did not have the same idea of strengthening the country, so they could not pee in the same pot at all.
"Hmph, I, Yun Gui, am guarding He Weifa? If he comes to attack our 100,000 Huai army, he will be the priest's front line. Now if we start the war first, the French ships are strong and the cannons are sharp. How should we deal with them? There will be no more peaceful days along the coast of the Qing Dynasty."
Li Hongzhang didn't stand on ceremony. The two of them were of similar status, and he had more disciples. He didn't need to be afraid of this old man he was talking about.
"We respectfully request the emperor to judge!" Seeing that both sides were in a deadlock, everyone could only ask the higher-ups to make a decision. Although they were bowing in the direction of Li Ye, their eyes were all looking behind the bead curtain.
At this time, Empress Dowager Ci 'an Dong was not dead yet, and she was still suppressing Cixi. She had yet to see Cixi sitting on the dragon throne and Emperor Guangxu sitting on a small stool beside her.
