【440】 Eunuch

It's fine to be afraid of foreigners, but how can you neglect these slaves and the majesty of the royal family?

The bamboo shoots had finished pacing, so they let out a dry cough, and the braided servant next to him hurriedly offered tea, and he moistened his mouth with a grunt, and said, "Set up the incense table, our family wants to read Yi..."

"Wait a minute, Eunuch Sun, this is still a station for foreigners, why don't you go back to my Chinese Hall first, and then read the Queen Mother's edict..."

"There is also the emperor's imperial decree!"

"That's right, read it together, and when the time comes, everyone will be there, won't you save Eunuch Sun's trouble?"

"Okay, that's fine, let's go! Hey, why don't you see Long Hao?"

Hearing that the eunuch called the young master by his name without any respect, Yuan'er and the others all frowned and got angry, but Long Bo said with a smile: "My young master has encountered an accident, I will talk to Grandpa Sun later..."

So, under the breathlessness of the pick-up man, the first carriage that was prepared not only carried Long Bo, but also got into this bamboo shoot, and several of his little attendants who smelled like urine.

This episode made the pick-up person speechless and unwilling.

It was impossible to choke, so the chatterbox opened up in the carriage.

I think the master was forced to death by the imperial court, and the whole family was ruined. If the young master did not create miracles repeatedly, I would have become a lonely ghost living in a foreign land... Now the imperial court suddenly sent an eunuch here?

Mao mean?

Domineering?Or is there another picture?

Long Ganruo was the oldest. He grabbed Long Xiaohu, the former accountant and now the dean of the Finance Academy, and immediately asked, "The eunuch, where did he come from? Why did Uncle Long show off to him?"

"Gaozi, don't get angry, let me elaborate..."

Long Xiaohu smiled wryly, and said eloquently, which can be regarded as clearing up everyone's doubts, why did the young master have an accident.After a long delay, they made their way from Huaxia Town to San Francisco.

If you want to speak smoothly, you have to start from the beginning.

Where is the head?

The time axis is the bombardment crisis, but the location coordinates are the Forbidden City in Beijing.

San Francisco faced a crisis of bombardment. Under the hype of many newspapers, it became known to the world within a few days.However, this 'world' generally refers to the European continent, and Asia is not included.

The most powerful country in Asia at this time may not be China under the rule of the Qing Dynasty on the surface, but when the bombardment crisis reached the ears of China's upper-level dignitaries, the time has been delayed by nearly half a month. Generally speaking, jmw dula It's time to start.Emperor Guangxu just found out: Because of a Chinese earl, an international port in the United States was blocked by six cannon ships!

The reason for the delay for so long is that China's telegraph industry has just started.

It was only in 1884 that the first telegraph line was connected in Beijing, so that the elders in the imperial city could get in touch with new things from abroad. Usually these new things are regarded as entertainment after dinner, but this time, it is obviously different.

because.In the novelty of foreigners, it is the first time that the main characters are Chinese!

It is still a noble recognized by the United Kingdom!

so.The level of attention immediately increased. Li Hongzhang knew about it, Weng Tonghe knew about it, Emperor Guangxu knew about it, and even Empress Dowager Cixi, the actual controller of the Qing Empire, knew about it...

The difference in the position of everyone's buttocks leads to different focus on this matter.

Li Hongzhang is mature and steady, worried that because of Long Hao's status as a Chinese, he will offend the great powers.At that time, the United States will take its anger out on him, and he, the "China Westernization No. 1", will bear a great responsibility.

Later, when the news of the Great Miracle Day came, he was ecstatic and drank fine wine to celebrate privately in the mansion, and his servants spread the word that he was "letting go of himself, chatting with the young and crazy"... Regardless of whether Master Zhongtang is full of lackeys or not, he is a Chinese after all.The old man is always happy when some compatriots save face in front of foreigners.

He has been embarrassed in front of foreigners for a long time, and at this time someone severely refuted the face of foreigners. He, a veteran of Western affairs, is very honored.

Maybe, can you buy an advanced and cheap gunboat from the Earl of the North Sea?

Emperor Guangxu was full of enthusiasm. He thought he knew who Long Hao was, but he was a loyal minister who created an overseas private army for him!

Although the family background is not very good, but this emperor is eclectic, imitating Lord Kangxi, pardoning the other party, the other party should be grateful to the emperor, that is a loyal dog.

Against the one in the East Palace, the teeth of this loyal dog may be a breakthrough weapon!

It's all right now, he was able to turn the danger into a breeze, and break through the blockade of Citi foreigners by himself, that ability is nothing to say, the emperor wants to send a decree to praise him.

Emperor Guangxu's IQ was not high, and he intended to reward the 'bones', but he still wanted to recruit Weng Tonghe to discuss carefully. If the efficiency was poor, the news leaked out, so the Empress Dowager Cixi seized the opportunity and stepped in.

reward!

Not only to praise, but also to reward heavily!

Now Britain, France and other European powers all praise Long Hao, how can I not reward such a good man?

Empress Dowager Cixi is more courageous than Emperor Guangxu, and there are many sources of news. She knows that Britain, France and other countries have resorted to sanctioning business for Long Hao (Cixi does not know the meaning of the word economy). How important Long Hao is!

This aristocrat conferred by the British royal family seems to be nothing more than a display. When Long Hao was insulted outside, the British royal family immediately stood up to support him.

Empress Dowager Cixi is such a shrewd person, she immediately paid attention to Long Hao, and her importance was even worse than that of her confidant Li Zhongtang!

Since the title of nobility conferred by foreigners is not false, the rewards from the Qing Dynasty cannot be verbal.

The Empress Dowager Cixi ordered that Long Hao be made a 'First Class Duke', which was the highest reward for Hanchen.

The highest reward was snatched away by Cixi, and Emperor Guangxu almost didn't cry: You old hag, you've already been made a first-class prince, what the hell are you?Do you want to make Long Hao the prince?But, he is not our bannerman either!

How else can you say that Emperor Guangxu's IQ is lower than [-]? Is it a bannerman or a matter of the Qing royal family? In this era, is there a genetic map that can be traced back to the Tunguska wild boar skin?

Fortunately, after the Empress Dowager Cixi left, Weng Tonghe, whose IQ was definitely higher than [-], and other royalists discussed it and decided that this good thing should not be left to the old hag alone. The Earl of Beihai felt that the emperor was unbearable.It's all about the Empress Dowager.

What kind of reward?

It seems that Emperor Guangxu is still very poor in his pocket, and even Weng Tonghe and other close officials are not rich. After much deliberation, one person proposed: Let's reward others, my Qing Dynasty has a large population.Besides, rewarding people is rewarding soldiers!Now that Long Hao has soldiers, it means you have soldiers, Your Majesty...

Grass, you have a 'disease'!

Emperor Guangxu didn't like it on the surface, but he was quite moved in his heart: It's good to reward people. I heard that Long Hao's men often send boats to Fujian and Guangdong to recruit people. This shows that he is short of manpower in Citi Country... just the restless Han people There are many more, reward him, and bring them to Citigroup to scare foreigners.It is also a beautiful thing to show our country's prestige!

This may be the most absurd imperial reward in history. It was decided by Emperor Guangxu to send his own people abroad as a reward. Fortunately, this emperor can be as happy as anything.

It can only explain one problem, that is, after more than two hundred years, the Han people are still goods.Whatever you want, go abroad.In the hearts of the superiors, it should have been a very good result!

Without further ado, the eunuch Sun Jian got this honorable job carrying the imperial decree and imperial decree. Under the secret operation of Li Hongzhang, he set off from Lushun Port and aimed at Alaska.

I dare not go to San Francisco bamboo shoots.It was on the cusp of the storm there, and it was safer to go to the place where the Earl of Beihai made his fortune as everyone said.

Sun Jian believed that he represented the queen mother and the emperor, the halo shelter, the place where many domestic refugees were said to have settled.Don't dare to neglect yourself.

Around the beginning of July, just before Long Bo received the news of Long Hao's 'coma' and was about to set off, Sun Jian and his party luckily arrived in Huaxia Town.

At that time, Uncle Long had just finished tidying up the interior of Huaxia Town, and he took a breath, but he was shocked by the terrible news that his young master fell into a coma, of course it was in a hurry, and he wished to fly to San Francisco to see what happened.

However, the sea was blocked by Rockefeller's oil exploration ships, so it was not impossible to pass, but the risk was great.

The other party only needs an excuse of 'entering the oil area by mistake' to attack the ships in Huaxia Town. With Thunder Dragon removed as the naval commander and the main warships basically going to the south, Long Bo would not dare to take Leading a group of administrative elites to take risks.

If you can't go by sea, you can only travel by land, pass through Canada, and enter the United States by detour.

But there is a little trouble in land travel, that is, in the eastern part of Alaska and the western part of Canada, the aboriginal liberation movement is going on. Even if there are railways and roads, they are all destroyed and impassable. Long Bo and his party will pass through there , The time wasted is not a star and a half.

Not being able to see the young master in time is one of the consequences, and the other consequence is that Long Bo and other management have been away for too long, and the hearts of the people in Huaxia Town will be unstable.

They enshrined Long Hao as the idol of Wan Jiasheng Buddha. If something happened to the idol, no one dared to say what kind of chaos Huaxia Town, which had already experienced the storm of "Zhang Yuehu's defection", would become.

In the past month or so, in order to block the bombardment crisis and other news, Long Bo has put in a lot of effort to ban newspapers from entering the base village... The purpose is to stabilize Huaxia Town, so as not to affect Long Hao's painstaking efforts.

Just at the moment of this dilemma, Sun Jian and his party arrived, catching Long Bo by surprise.

But it also made Uncle Long make up his mind: the administrative team will go to San Francisco together, leaving only the Dragon Scale Army to guard Huaxia Town. If there is chaos, let it completely mess up!

Anyway, something happened to the young master, so I don't care what you townspeople who are in the midst of blessings do not know what to do?

Naturally, there was a reason for Long Bo's resentment, and the reason, needless to say, was Zhang Yuehu's robbery and defection.

Two boats of people ran away, Riesling was arrested, and nearly a hundred base villages in Huaxia Town were censored. These methods of Long Bo's were a little violent, so they received a lot of backlash.

After Lei Long was acquitted, no matter whether it was in the army or in the village, there was moderate opposition to the Huaxia Executive Yuan represented by Uncle Long.

Since it was against it, some of the previous faults of the Executive Yuan were singled out and magnified. The lenient management of the Executive Yuan, the strict household registration review, the lack of wages for miners, the long working hours, etc., were all used as false accusations. The 'crimes' of the Executive Yuan.

The Executive Yuan is so large and it is a start-up, and the people in it lack management experience. These 'crimes' are actually nothing at all, but who made Long Bo handle Zhang Yuehu and Lei Long improperly, so the credit is not really worth it. The small 'Huaxia Executive Yuan' was shot.

Not only the previous stories about old things, but also the recent news that the Executive Yuan was short of funds for some pioneering projects were spread around. The townspeople all said that Uncle Long was disrespectful.Taking the lead in embezzling the output of gold mines, everyone's hard-earned money has been embezzled by people in the Executive Yuan.

What's more, some people with ulterior motives also spread that the reason why Zhang Yuehu left was because the Executive Yuan withheld their horse breeding fees, so.Only then would he lead the original subordinates, seize the boat and flee in anger.

Hearing the above rumors and accusations, Uncle Long almost went mad with anger: Who said the Executive Yuan was greedy for ink?Don't guess if you don't understand!The money was sent to the United States to support the Black Clothes Gang and the SS. You townspeople don’t pay much taxes in the first place, and the gold mines you work are all owned by young masters. Without the income from the gold mines, you can only The young master came to check on me.It's none of your business!

Long Bo couldn't be more angry, it's really normal, when he thought about it: Huaxia Town is today, it's all thanks to the young master.

Discover gold mines, open up wasteland, adjust to extreme cold weather, build a base village, and prepare an army and navy to defend Alaska.Introduce daily necessities from the outside world and grow food.Building the railway... Without the young master, you are still the three major citizens with poor clothing and food. Now that you are well, someone has defected with a gunboat, and instead of helping the young master, you are still questioning the Huaxia town that the young master created?

A pack of white-eyed wolves!

Master Wu has also formulated a lot of benefits for you.Travel to San Francisco at public expense, go to New York to study... After you enjoy it, do you turn your face and deny anyone?

Especially when the sad news of Long Hao's 'injury and coma' came, Long Bo's heart was even more chilled: Master, you are wrong!Can't be too kind to these townspeople.You gave them a paradise, but they gave you a lot of fun in return!

Long Bo's thoughts may be a bit extreme, equating the townspeople's dissatisfaction with the Executive Yuan with their dissatisfaction with Long Hao, but in any case, under the control of this negative emotion, Long Bo and the little eunuch Sunjian and his party had a quarrel. A secret conversation.

I won't list the details of the conversation, but after the conversation, Long Bo closed the door and thought about it for a day.

A day later, Long Bo led the party members of the Executive Yuan, took Xiao Sunjian and others, left Huaxia Town, and set off for Canada, completely throwing Huaxia Town into a state of "doing nothing".

The eunuchs don't know that they have escaped. If it wasn't for Long Hao's intention to 'fake injury', if it wasn't for Long Bo's confusion, they, the 'imperial envoy team' sent by the queen mother and emperor for granted, would have been killed. Decapitate, then report back as a 'missing person' and so on.

However, by mistake, the first-class duke of the Qing Dynasty revealed by the tip of the bamboo shoot moved Uncle Long.

First-class public, that was the highest award that Han officials could receive in the Qing Dynasty. After all, Long Bo was still a steward of the capital, and the prestige of the emperor was engraved in his bones.

If my young master can get this reward, he will be able to return to the country with a huge amount of wealth, and he will no longer have to pay attention to these 'ungrateful' townspeople with white eyes. The queen's favor for the young master, with foreigners as foreign aid, can definitely earn a small country of iron for the Long family. If there is a continuous war in the pass, it is not impossible to learn from Dorgon to break through the pass and go south to occupy the Huahua country.

Don't be surprised that Uncle Long has this kind of thinking. Although he has joined the party, it is difficult to change his family's thinking, especially at the moment, when Long Hao is "suddenly facing a catastrophe" and Huaxia Town is "cracking and beating", It is really normal for such a reversal of thinking to happen to an old man.

In addition, the fact that Long Hao injured his head and became unconscious was also one of the reasons for Long Bo's idea of ​​"being recruited".

It is said that in the Forbidden City, there are a few imperial doctors who have internal strength, and that kind of internal strength is different from Tongzi Gong. Its main effect is to heal the brain and wake up people who are unconscious.

However, these few imperial physicians would not act unless the emperor ordered them to do so, and they are very hidden. If Long Bo hadn't heard of martial arts training when he was young, he probably would not have known about these imperial physicians who 'hidden in court'.

Long Bo made the worst plan, if he can't wake up the young master in San Francisco this time, he will use the title of First Class Duke to invite these imperial doctors to help.

After the antecedents were explained, Long Bo and his party traveled around Canada and encountered many difficulties along the way, but they were safe and sound. After nearly a month, they finally arrived in San Francisco.

This treacherous journey also has an advantage, it scares the courage of the little eunuch Sunjian a lot, otherwise, with his eunuch temper who has never seen the world and is very self-confident, he would have made Wang Botao and others impatient Stop, draw your sword and chop.

After Long Xiaohu finished speaking, the carriage will also slow down and arrive at the San Francisco Hospital.

There are no skyscrapers in hospitals in this era, and five-story buildings are relatively common.

It occupies a large area, has many buildings, and has good greenery, which is a symbol of a large hospital.

During post-war reconstruction, San Francisco Hospital was entrusted with the "peer-to-peer mutual aid" of the Meihao Chemical Plant, which invested 7 US dollars and took up [-]% of the shares. Clang up to build the building.

Long Hao has a special status. On the opposite side of the construction site, across a garden, there is a separate small building, quiet and deep, that is his intensive care ward.

Yuan'er led Long Bo and others into the garden, her ears cleared immediately, and the noise disappeared.

It can be seen that the sound insulation of this greenery is very good.

Of course, this level of sound insulation skills is a trivial skill in the eyes of Sun Jian. He couldn't help it, twisted his body, and asked Long Bo: "What is this place? Is it a Chinese club? Why isn't Long Hao still Welcome? There are two orders here, representing Lafayette and the emperor! He, he can't afford to neglect!"

"This is a hospital!"

Uncle Long glanced at the bamboo shoots, and said in a low voice: "Grandpa Sun, keep your voice down, my young master was injured and recuperating here, how can he come out to greet you? If you speak rudely, have you seen the foreigners with guns around? That's all The Americans sent to protect my young master, they were greatly favored by him during the war, if you think you are here to find trouble, hum, shoot, I will do nothing." (To be continued...)

ps: The writing of this chapter is not satisfactory. In short, history is not my strong point, so if there are any omissions in Chinese historical figures, everyone just laugh it off.

It's okay to think about it, I don't have enough experience, I apologize~

Subscribing scum, to be honest, my energy can only be logical, and if it is consistent with history, my concubine can't do it!

Anyway, the protagonist is Long Hao, and the pen and ink of the future will still be on his head, and he also wants to return to China.
