Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 195 Russia Sends Troops
Calm was finally restored in the Forbidden City, but the situation in the Northeast remained chaotic.Before Guan Xuqing had time to interrogate and arrest Shiduo, Russia had already dispatched troops to the northeastern frontier of the Qing Dynasty.Fortunately, Feng Xianghua has done a very good job of increasing troops, or the training is quite systematic.The soldiers on the frontier were excellent both in their individual combat capabilities and in the cooperation between divisions, and Russia's offensives were unsuccessful.

And Shiduo finally understood that Guan Xuqing's Qing Dynasty was a regime supported by most court officials and common people, not a dynasty that could be overthrown by one person.

Although the emperor hadn't arrested him yet, he only needed to interrogate the rebels who attacked the Forbidden City or the eunuchs and soldiers who assisted the nanny in kidnapping the eldest brother, and it was not difficult to find out that he was the mastermind of this series of incidents.

Therefore, Shiduo only wanted to delay the court's arrest of him by sending troops from Russia, so as to achieve the purpose of escaping.

But Shiduo's wishful thinking was always wrong. Seeing that the assassination failed and the attack was blocked, Russia immediately sent envoys to the Qing Dynasty to explain the reasons for all this.

After the heavy rain, the Forbidden City returned to its former calm as if there had never been a fight.

At this moment, Wang Shang walked in.Said: "Report to the emperor, the Russian minister Vasiliev is waiting outside the palace gate to be summoned."

"Proclaim"

After a while, Vasiliev stepped in and made a chest salute: "See His Majesty the Emperor of China. It's an honor to meet you."

Guan Xuqing put on a face, looked at Vasiliev coldly and said, "Mr. Ambassador, I invite you here because I want to clarify one thing. Has your country declared war on the Qing Dynasty?"

"No, there is absolutely no such thing." Vasiliev shook his head again and again.Just about to open his mouth to explain, Guan Xuqing said first: "So your country is going to tear up the military covenant we signed?"

"No, our country has absolutely no such plan." Vasiliev was a little out of breath when Guan Xuqing, who had seized the initiative, robbed him.

"Then why did my minister tell me that your country's army actually appeared on the land of our Qing Dynasty in the northeast?" Guan Xuqing stared at Vasiliev with cold eyes, making Vasiliev feel that if he said a wrong sentence, he would be hurt. To be dragged out and killed by this irascible emperor.

Vasiliev tried to calm himself down, and said to Guan Xuqing: "Those troops in our country just heard that there was a rebellion in your country. They came out of the responsibility of their allies to help your country put down the rebellion. They had absolutely no intention of invading your country. "

"Really?" A smile suddenly appeared on Guan Xuqing's face, making Vasiliev feel that he had completely fallen into the other party's trap just now. "Thank you for your kindness, but it is no longer needed. I can now tell Mr. Ambassador that those rebels have been wiped out in the Forbidden City by our Imperial Guards and Imperial Forest Army, and are now arresting the mastermind behind the scenes. Maybe the news is already on the way. On the way."

There was a trace of surprise in Vasilev's eyes when he heard the words, and he quickly disappeared, and turned to Fang Huai with a smile on his face: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, for suppressing the rebellion so quickly."

Guan Xuqing smiled slightly: "No matter what, I still want to thank Your Majesty for your kindness. After a while, I will personally write to Your Majesty to convey my thanks to him."

Vasiliev, who had calmed down, said indifferently: "That's really an exciting thing."

The only Russian that Shiduo relied on also told him last night: "The war between you and the Qing Dynasty is the Qing Dynasty's own problem, and we are inconvenient to ask about it." Then the bastard named Rostock left.

"Fart, it's all bullshit." Shi Duo roared hysterically.Now all the big things have become a dream bubble, everything is like a dream.It's time to wake up!Shi Duo changed into a set of uniforms for ordinary soldiers, and put some valuables in his pockets.Fortunately, I have left a way out, as long as I can escape, at least I can become a rich man overseas.

But all of this was just his wishful thinking. When the Imperial Forest Army and Imperial Guards surrounded his mansion tightly, he realized that everything he had done had already been noticed by Guan Xuqing.

This rebellion marked another world power that got rid of the shackles of internal contradictions and began to enter the road of rapid industrialization. Looking at the modern powers of the world, Britain had the bourgeois revolution, France had the Great Revolution, the United States had the Civil War between the North and the South, and Russia There were Peter the Great's palace coup, Germany and Italy had several unification wars, and even if there were wars that fell, they were able to develop rapidly only after the internal conservative forces were eliminated through drastic means.Of course, it is worth worrying about that this short-lived internal revolution was not complete, and he still retained a large number of residual opposition forces. In the final analysis, the reason is that this war is not a contradiction caused by the development of Chinese capitalism to a certain height. It was caused by Guan Xuqing's use of external means. It was not even an advanced class defeating a backward class. At best, it could only be said that Guan Xuqing defeated the conservative forces headed by the Manchurian aristocratic group.

The same is true of Guan Xuqing's decision. The reason why he came to such a purge when the contradictions were not yet complete was that Guan Xuqing was afraid. He clearly remembered the major events that would happen in the next few decades.Although China and Russia are mutual allies now, each other's territorial ambitions are equally huge, not to mention that Guan Xuqing is not willing to give up those Russian lands emotionally. In addition, there were two world wars, which changed the pattern of the world twice. Become strong, but there are also some countries that were originally strong and sink.Those would be two great opportunities for the Chinese nation, and Guan Xuqing would never allow them to be missed by him.And according to the normal domestic development track, the contradiction between the emerging bourgeoisie and the domestic stubborn forces is likely to break out at the moment of these wars.When.What is the specific evolution of the domestic situation?No one can tell, it's better to take the time when history has not deviated too much from its orbit.Solve it in advance.

Although Guan Xuqing had already instructed the subordinates to engage in entanglements through explicit and secret instructions, and eliminated a large number of Manchurian dignitaries and opposition forces in the court, only 74 of them were recovered from top ranks above the third rank, and the officials who were dismissed from office, beheaded and exiled were almost all Guan Xuqing. Since he took the throne, the number of officials has tripled, so that the water flowing at the entrance of the vegetable market at the South Gate is red within a few days.However, under the persuasion of other princes and ministers, Guan Xuqing could not eliminate all evil after all. Of course, the elimination of so many officials in an instant has reached the limit of the current regime. For the prince and Baylor, who are old-fashioned and inactive, it may be a problem whether the court can survive.He also knows that this approach is like treating smallpox and other diseases. If you take a preventive injection before the rash comes out, you may not get sick for a long time, but it is better to let it out and cure it. Strong once and for all.Perhaps at some point in the future, the hidden contradictions will completely erupt and completely change the face of China.Just like Russia after World War I and Germany after World War II, but even in that situation, China is bound to appear in front of the world with a new kind of glory.
