C3944 War Business (1/2)
Cai Bixia is scolding me! At least they had exposed Manchu's true colors, causing all of the Official present to become as red as a monkey's butt!
Starting from the First Opium War, Manchu started to compensate silver s outside. He did not even have the money to repay the compensation in the end, he could only borrow money from the foreigners Bank and return it to the foreigners!
How much more does the interest on each reflection cost? In the end, there was no other way than to pay off the customs to the British, and to use the customs taxes to pay back the foreign people's arrears every year!
This was the huge amount of damage received from the war reparations. It was not that Manchu did not understand this principle, but in the entire court, no one did anything serious, and instead, most of them held back on their actions!
In fact, there was even a group of people who were called conservative factions and refused to reform no matter what!
There was no helping it, everyone was playing dumb in the paper-covered house. Occasionally, one or two people who understood what was going on would be pushed to death by this group of trash!
Only when an outsider bluntly punctured this window paper would this group of deaf and dumb people know how embarrassed they were!
On one hand, Cai Bixia had a very good relationship with Zai Chun. This was one of the advantages of negotiating, and on the other hand, Cai Bixia was born with a sharp tongue, so she would not lose out in negotiations!
The key point was, she was a woman! Finding a man to become the Special Envoy, even if they started cursing and fighting, it didn't matter to this group of Manchu officials!
Only by letting a woman point her nose at him and mock him would they know that only by getting angry could they burn their face like a city wall!
In front of the Taihe Gate, this group of ministers was squashed by a woman until they were like chickens and ducks that were choking on their throats. Their faces were flushed red, but they could not find the words to refute her no matter how hard they tried!
What said was not wrong, he fought his way to become such a large Chinese with his bare hands, and he relied on the strong army before the industrial war.
When Chinese was at his poorest, he secretly forged silver coin and saved up a limited amount of money to give to Army!
Spencer, Mauser, Hand # Rey... They were all Baby weapons that Manchu couldn't bear to part with!
It was this Army that was armed to the teeth. She walked over here step by step with blue threads and blue blood marks on her body. The more she fought, the more powerful she became.
The more victorious he was, the more power the Chinese would have, and this would form a virtuous circle!
Looking back at Manchu himself, the less money he had, the harder it was for him to carry out the military promotion, and the harder it was for Army to do the job, the harder it was for him to control the situation!
One after another, failure after another drained the nation's strength. Tens of millions of silver of Silver went to the foreigners for free!
Even if the long hair was considered a victory, this war was simply a loss to him. He had broken half of the wall in the south of the Yangtze River in less than a decade, it would be difficult to recover his population!
War was also a business. These words were like a thousand kilograms of olives pressing down on everyone's tongues, making them unable to say a single word!
After a moment of silence, Ceng Guofan opened his mouth and said, ”It looks like … Last night, six hundred thousand gold would eventually end up to my court? ”
With just one sentence, he stirred the anger of the crowd. The officials stared at Cai Bixia and waited for her to reply, some nervously looking at Tongzhi, afraid that the little Kaiser would say something inappropriate!
Cai Bixia gave a bland laugh, ”About that... ”It's hard to say, we still have time, let's talk slowly …”
”Your Majesty!” Weng Tonghe shouted miserably, ”Your Majesty, we cannot give way any longer! Chinese goblin insulting me has already caused universal population endless pain … Do we still need to add another two evil spirits? ”
”Your Majesty! If this battle last night … In the end, you all ended up falling to my Great Qing Kingdom to compensate silver … This subject … This official shall smash his head on this Lion! ”
In front of the Taihe Gate were two gigantic copper Lion that had been left behind earlier, and they were staring at everything in front of them with anger!
