Chapter 80 - Tripartite wrestling

This was something that Xiao Letian had written in >. Historically, it should have been written only after Li Hongzhang had taken over the government, but in the end, Xiao Letian had plagiarized it away. It easily spread throughout the literary circle in Great Qing.

The major change that hadn't existed for three thousand years had caused all of the scholars to sink into deep confusion. Even the Ci Xi who was innately proficient in politics was similarly perplexed and helpless in the face of this world.

Frankly speaking, the governance ability of the officials of the Great Qing Dynasty was very strong. Thousands of years of emperor's skills and the ruling experience of the feudal dynasty had already reached its peak in the Qing Dynasty. This was the most centralized state in the history of China, and in the three dynasties of the Kang and Yong dynasties, the territory of the Qing dynasties had been slowly growing.

Although the Historian may be able to find the sins of countless Qing Dynasty s that have decayed and fallen, but we cannot deny that it was because of these hundreds of years of Qing dynasty's rule that the Chinese people obtained the legal inheritance rights to these four vast lands, namely Eastern Three Provinces, Mongolia, Xinjiang and Tibet, as recognized by international law.

In the three dynasties of the Kangyong Dynasty, China's philosophy of governance had been developed to the extreme, and the degree of centralization of power had reached a terrifying degree. Politicians immersed in this political atmosphere, the worst of them all, the master of balance, had thousands of years of intrigue and intrigue to choose from in their stomachs. Forget about men, even Ci Xi was a master at politics.

had long since come to a conclusion regarding Ci Xi's political level. This woman's sensitivity to politics was inborn. Speaking of idealism, this was the reason why this woman came to the Qing Dynasty. In this complicated situation, many men felt helpless, but this woman could still play with ease. He danced on three eggs and didn't break them even after he died.

But when these politicians, with their millennia of traditional experience, met the aliens of the West, all their experience failed them. The Qing Dynasty's political figures, not only did they not understand the western world's human geography, they did not even understand the westerner's cultural heritage.

They had no idea what the foreigners wanted, and all the negotiations were like chicken to duck. Europe wanted to do business with the Great Qing Empire. The Great Qing wanted to set up restrictions and open up a large number of ports for business, but the Great Qing did not agree. They even tried to set up embassies in different capitals, but the Great Qing Dynasty still shook her head.

The Europeans could not understand why the people shook their heads so much. Why did they leave so many good seaports untouched and turn into fishing ports instead of doing business? Wait a minute, it seems that in the history of Chinese people, even fishing ports were not allowed to exist. At that time, it was called a sail that was not allowed to go into the sea.

The people of Qing don't understand why so many Europeans want so much. Isn't it enough to open the 13th line of Guangzhou? You still want to stop ships all the way up to the ports? What are you thinking about! They even had to send officials to permanent residence in the Beijing? He was simply a bunch of madmen. What's more, if they didn't agree to this, they would have to send troops to force them to agree. Was there anyone in this world who was so unreasonable?

Look, this was the real Great Qing Dynasty back then. Facing the outside world, it was like a speck of darkness. Everyone shook their heads at the mention of foreign affairs. Even Ci Xi was no exception. As long as it involved foreigners, this woman would immediately transform into a rural old lady. Her two eyes would also have a confused look.

Ci Xi was unable to give an answer to Emperor Tongzhi's question. In the entire Qing Province, the only person who could give an answer was still hiding in Tanggu's Port. Ci Xi knew that this cunning Second Demon had already prepared to escape. As long as the imperial government had any intentions of going against him, he would definitely board the foreign ship and escape.

To be honest, Ci Xi really wanted Xiao Letian to teach the Huang'er some knowledge about the foreign people, but every time she thought about the balance in the imperial court, she would retreat. For thousands of years, Deixis had ruled China. Were they really counting on that little fellow to overthrow them? Forget it, I decided not to dream.

In the end, Tongzhi's little emperor also did not get the answer he wanted from his mother, but the changes that happened in the imperial court the next few days proved the brilliance of the Mother.

In an era where there were no newspapers, no radio, and absolutely no television, the media industry simply did not exist. In an era where there were no newspapers, no radio, and even more so, there was no television, the media industry simply did not exist.

Four years ago, the British and French combined forces invaded the Beijing. You can go to Henan, Sichuan, Yungui and other villages and ask them.

Of course, it was impossible for the upper echelons to keep the news to themselves. There was no way the ruling class could get past the huge group of scholars and officials. And these people were all in a common sealed off area. Every accident was just a reshuffle in this area.

After the incident known as the 'Three Dome Mare', the various powers seemed calm on the surface, but the private communication between them had never stopped. From the eight hundred miles between the capital city and Nanjing, passing through the relay roads one by one, there would always be people of noble status whispering to each other in the brothels and booths of the capital city.

Time passed day by day. One and a half months later, when the Beijing's heat was slightly dissipating, a Grand Commission event was held. What was shocking was that the Great Qing Dynasty actually approved the plans of three Industrial Zones s without any objections from any officials. Tanggu, Shanghai and Guangzhou became the first places where the Great Qing Dynasty's industrial development was taking place.
