The fate of writers

Chapter 143 Treaties
In such a situation where the safety of his hometown is unknown, it is not easy for Guo Yuefeng to force Du Ying to leave. Maybe Yin County is safer now.In the end, Guo Yuefeng embarked on the journey back home alone.

"The dog slave finally returned with the dog's tail between its legs." These words had a strong sense of attack, and it wasn't Jiang Ling or Du Ying who said it.The ones who spoke were the brothers and sisters of the Zeng family, the two newly picked up by Jiang Ling.

The surname Zeng always brings back countless memories. It is no coincidence that the brothers and sisters of the Zeng family are the descendants of Zeng Hong.

They did not die in the fire, but hid in the home of an old friend under careful arrangements.

It's just that this old friend who was entrusted with a heavy responsibility died in the continuous turmoil in Yin County.By chance, Jiang Ling picked up this pair of siblings.

Because of what happened to their father and daughter, the brother and sister's affection for Yan Ting plummeted to a negative number.They are more anti-Yan than some people in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

But Guo Yuefeng was just the opposite. He was an aspiring young man with a reputation and a heart for Yan Ting.He has read a lot of books, and unlike other old masters, he regards imported things as poison.He actively absorbs and learns, looking for a panacea that can save Yan Ting.

How to put it, under the guidance of this completely opposite thinking, it is considered restraint not to be kicked out by the Zeng brothers and sisters every day when Guo Yuefeng comes to visit.They still want to let such a person in Jiangjiahuang, everyone has to say a word of self-restraint.

Not long after Guo Yuefeng left, a heavy news swept across Yin County.

In the 11th year of Tongguang, the year of Xin Chou, which was also [-] A.D., the Empress Dowager sent Li Zhongtang and King Jing to sign the "Treaty of Peace and Friendship" with the coalition forces in the capital.

After the treaty was signed, the coalition forces withdrew as agreed, and as agreed, attacked the anti-Yan forces on the way to withdraw.

These include some militias that have been beaten out of patriotism, organizations that resist foreign aggression, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

The coalition forces have decided to support Yan Ting as an agent in the Far East region. A peaceful, stable and well-controlled government and country is the ideal state. Otherwise, how can the people of a war-torn country have the thought and spare money to buy their products?
What the Allied Forces did inspired the people on this land with unprecedented simple patriotic enthusiasm, and they joined the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in an attempt to resist.

It is a pity that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom failed them. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was defeated at an unimaginable speed. Internal and external factors accounted for half of it, and a group of people with lofty ideals went into exile overseas.

At the same time, the roar of strong ships and sharp guns finally woke up half of the Yan government.Under the crisis of survival, the Empress Dowager finally agreed to the "Learning from Barbarians to Control Barbarians Movement" organized by King Jing and Li Zhongtang.

Under the guidance of the ideological policy of "Chinese body, western use", a number of emerging industries have sprung up in this land, bringing new vitality to this land.

He also reformed education and sent overseas students. With the support of Jiang Ling, the brothers and sisters of the Zeng family and Du Ying went to study in France together.

Du Ying was able to pay for his study abroad expenses himself, while the Zeng brothers and sisters "borrowed" their overseas study expenses from Jiang Ling. After all, Zeng Hong made a decision in a hurry at that time and only gave his two children money to live on, but it was not enough to study abroad. of.These two children were taught very well by Zeng Hong. They have their own ideas and dignity.In fact, the three of them all took the path of studying abroad privately. They did not choose to study abroad due to background and many other reasons.

Jiang Ling once asked the Zeng brothers and sisters if they wanted to go to Britain, where their brother still had a caregiver, but they refused.They were stimulated by the treaty, and they wanted to find a good recipe to save the country. This recipe definitely did not lie with the decadent Yan Ting and the compromised British government, so they wanted to go to France where the king had his head chopped off.
