Obviously, this cargo is trying to take advantage of the chaos to expand the territory. Mazar, a Zhu Jinglun, made him very uneasy in his territory.
It is estimated that Zhang Qianshan thinks that Zhu Jinglun will certainly be able to meet this requirement. First, Zhu Jinglun is now in a passive situation on all sides. Second, Qian Shan feels that he is also a soldier.
He said that it was not a fake time to fight bandits. Even the villagers in Nanshao were scattered by Zhu Jinglun and fled to guangzhou fu. The stragglers were either wiped out by the army or collected. However, most of the villagers who fled back to Nanshao were collected by Zhang Qian Shan. At that time, the civil servants compiled and practiced 100,000 villagers, at least 50,000 of whom were now collected by Zhang Qian Shan. His flag strength has reached 10,000, which made Zhang Qian Shan feel that he was equal to Zhu Jinglun. When Zhu Jinglun was out of trouble, he had bargaining and looting money.
Zhang Qianshan also wrote a letter to catch up with Zhu Jinglun, especially about how much he missed his daughter, as if their father and daughter had much affection.
"Mother’s father-in-law misses you very much."
Zhu Jinglun joke to concubines Zhang Rou said.
Zhang Rou a face of ignorance when her father care about children?
After reading the letter handed over by Zhu Jinglun, she was white. Her father wanted to plot her husband’s territory. At that time, she was embarrassed and didn’t know what to say. Her father didn’t seem to be filial. Her father said something nice, but marrying a chicken and marrying a dog seems to be unruly. Sure enough, women shouldn’t be involved in politics
"I don’t understand these military affairs."
She pretended to say
Zhu Jinglun laughed. "If you don’t understand, don’t understand. It’s hard to save yourself. Since Yuezhang’s adult is eager for women, why don’t you invite Yuezhang to Guangzhou?"
Zhang Rou’s silent Zhu Jinglun is also a little embarrassed. He finds himself calculating people’s addiction and neglecting ethics. This is the late Qing Dynasty, not the feudal dynasty, not the new China. He doesn’t pay attention to drawing a line between father and daughter. Let Zhang Rou write and tell her dad that this is a mess. How can a daughter calculate her father?
It’s not that Zhu Jinglun has no sense of morality. It’s that moral concepts are different in different times. Later generations don’t pay attention to these, but this era pays great attention to these laws and pays attention to hiding relatives [oM].
"Husband is joking."
Zhu jinglun quickly remedied it.
But Zhang Rou is already a little uncomfortable, sandwiched between her father and her husband. This is the most embarrassing situation for women
She suddenly said that her sister-in-law had been feeling unwell recently and wanted to go back to her parents’ house to see her. This was to avoid suspicion. Zhu Jinglun knew that it was difficult for her to do it at this time, and it was not difficult for her to tell her to take good care of her family.
It doesn’t mean that his wife can’t write a letter to calculate his father-in-law’s idiocy, but it doesn’t mean that he can’t write a letter to Zhang Qian Shan immediately, telling Zhang Qian Shan that he thinks Zhang Qianshan is right, and Nanshao Liandao really shouldn’t be stationed in two armies. His suggestion is to transfer Zhang Qian Shan from Shaozhou and Nanxiong, and he tells Zhang Qian Shan that banditry over Qiongya is also very serious, and he hopes that he can go there to fight bandits.
Qiongya Road is the worst place in Guangdong at this time of Hainan Island. Few people have repeatedly asked Zhang Qian Shan to go there, which is almost equivalent to saying that he would annex Zhang Qian Shan’s territory.
I believe that Zhang Qian Shan never expected such a result.
After receiving the letter, he attacked Yingde and wrote a letter to Zhu Jinglun at the same time, telling Zhu Jinglun that he found that the bandits in Yingde area were too heavy to pursue, and they all fought in Yingde County and refused to fight their faces. This is not to say that this guy is proud to say that Zhang Qian Shan is not sure what he wants to leave a little room.
Although there are many soldiers in Qian Shan, there are not many elites. There are thousands of his old brothers, and there are more than 10,000 flat regiments. However, these regiments are equipped with rifles and cannons by Tan Cai. Other township yong bases have no fighting capacity, so it is ok to fight with the wind. When encountering difficulties, they can’t get it.
But Tan Cai has been secretly bought off by Fangshan Zhu Jinglun. It is not a big problem. He wants to completely solve the big trouble of Zhang Qian Shan in World War I.
Xu Rongcun has finished his return from the sea, and he will no longer go to the sea to communicate with foreign ministers, because with the situation in Tianjing, Zhu Jinglun doesn’t need to transfer to the sea to set off a warship and can directly berth.
After the occupation, Guangdong businessmen sent a lot of materials to supplement the Taiping rebels, and at the same time, they made huge profits for Guangdong businessmen, but this caused trouble. People in the ocean did not want this trade route to be exclusive to their counterparts in Guangdong, and they also tried to make a lot of money in Tianjing. At this time, the Taiping rebels still made a lot of money, but they were unable to stop at the dock. Whenever his ship tried to dock, it would be driven away. The excuse was that this was a military dock and this was a war zone, so businessmen were not allowed to enter.
Ocean merchants put pressure on their consuls, and their consuls protested to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs against the destruction of trade freedom by the army, and they had the right to trade freedom without interference.
Zhu jinglun is not going to talk to these ministers. Up to now, no country is willing to recognize the legal status of a big country. He is going to send people to Europe to talk about trade. One of the most important things is to get recognition from European countries.
"After you arrive in the UK, you should first seek British recognition. I know you don’t quite understand these procedures. It doesn’t matter if you find two consultants, one in France and one in Sweden. If the two consultants agree, they probably agree with international management common sense and don’t need to argue; If the two consultants disagree, then you have to judge whether it is because of their respective positions or other reasons, and you must choose the one that is most beneficial to us. After a year and a half, you will be familiar with western diplomatic procedures. "
This Zhu Jinglun is going to give it to Xu Rongcun, a man with a flexible mind and quick response to changes in the outside world. When he first heard that Britain was holding a trade fair, it was the first time. I’m afraid he didn’t even know what it was, so he immediately decided to send him raw silk to the exhibitors. It’s impossible to be inflexible.
Diplomacy sometimes needs diplomats to improvise according to their own national interests, just like war.
But it was not Zhu Jinglun who gave Xu Rongcun diplomatic support in Britain.
"The most important country in your trip should be Russia. I’ll give you a message. The Russians are going to sell Alaska land to the Americans, but the Americans didn’t promise the Russians that the price of 120 thousand dollars is about 22 thousand silver. I think we can do this deal. You go to Russia and talk to them about 10 thousand. It’s up to you to make it. I’ll come back and give you a knighthood."
Xu Rongcun has been dead set on working with Zhu Jinglun. He has repeatedly promised to help Zhu Jinglun buy those lands. Although he doesn’t even know where Alaska is, when it comes to business, he thinks he will not miss.
Well, the only land in Alaska that the Russians have sold is worth spending 100 million yuan. If it can be bought, it will be cost-effective, but Zhu Jinglun knows that things are not that simple. It is not a question of money.
What do Russians want to sell to Americans, and what do they want to sell to Americans, not to the British and not to the French?
In the Crimean War, Britain and France jointly beat Russia, making Russia regard these two countries as the biggest threat to Russia, and Alaska is near Canada. The Russians finally feel uneasy. They have strengthened their defense in Alaska, where 25 people have been stationed, but Britain immediately sent more troops to station a fleet in vancouver island. Russia found that it was as good as they did to ensure Alaska’s safety.
They don’t have the ability to increase troops in Alaska. Once they hit it, it will be annexed by Britain. It’s a pity that Alaska will be lost. But once Alaska loses Russia’s Far East, Siberia will face the British forces. It is equally difficult for Russia to increase troops in Alaska. It is only because of this that they thought of selling Alaska and separating Russian territory from British colonies.
Section three hundred and fifty-nine Crisis
Of course, the best target for Russia to sell Alaska is the United States, because the United States has fought twice with Britain and has been expanding to Canada. They think that the American occupation of Alaska can help them resist Britain, and at the same time, the United States is not connected with Alaska, so it is impossible to expand to Siberia by Alaska.
It is puzzling why Russia thinks that Britain will be interested in Alaska, because the United States has always informed them of Britain’s military deployment in Canada, constantly suggesting that Britain is expanding to northwest Canada, and the United States has been misleading Russia
The reason why the United States did this has been debated in later generations.
There is a saying that Americans are plotting Alaska by themselves, but this statement is somewhat untenable because American public opinion appreciation has always been uninterested in this land. On the contrary, Russia is willing to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to bribe American lawmakers to sell land in the United States
Later, an important reason why the United States successfully purchased Alaska was that during the Civil War, Russia firmly supported the American federal government and made great efforts to put a Russian fleet in new york Port. Frankly speaking, their fleet was not as good as the American fleet at that time, but it was a political attitude that supported the American federal government at the most critical moment, so the United States bought this land out of gratitude to Russia.
Another view is that the United States doesn’t care about this land because it needs to find an ally to fight against Britain together. With Britain and France fighting a Crimean war together, Charles Louis Napolé on Bonaparte’s policy has always been pro-British, and its foreign policy has finally followed Britain, which means that the United States has lost its French ally in the European continent. They need to find a partner with common interests, and Russia is the only choice.
There is also a saying that the Russians don’t know where Alaska can produce fur when there is gold, and the local fur has almost been hunted down by Russians and Indians. It is considered to be a piece of frozen soil that is completely unprofitable, and the result is that a huge treasure is given to the United States in vain.
Zhu Jinglun knows very well that there is gold in Alaska at this time, because the local Indians have been doing business with Russian businessmen in gold, and no one knows where the gold mine is. It was only after four or five in-depth investigations in more than ten years that the United States found gold that the Russians were unable to explore, not that they didn’t know there was gold here.
It is said that Russia betrayed Alaska not because it didn’t know that there was potential here, but mainly because it had political purposes. They needed to win over Americans to fight against Britain and protect their Siberian security.
Another important reason is that the Russians are too short of money. After the Crimean War, the Tsar was determined to carry out the reform of serfdom and continue to reform the capital institute. After the war, Saudi Arabia declared that Alaska was worthless and refuted the land of Alaska as worthless. That is to say, Russia later said that it did not know the cause of public opinion about Alaska’s value.
If Americans have ambitions for Alaska, then Zhu Jinglun sent Xu Rongcun this time to snatch food from the United States. If Russia insists on the need for a force that can resist Britain and protect Siberia for Russia, I’m afraid they won’t think that the new big country is a good choice, because most of them don’t have the strength to resist Britain, so Xu Rongcun is not easy.
First of all, he said that the czar considered a big country, and secondly, he should prevent the United States from suddenly giving in and agreeing to the Russian price.
Xu Rongcun set out in mid-July, and Xu Rongcun was full of confidence in this mission, because he felt that this was just a deal, and that the Russians wanted to sell their land. Although he didn’t understand what this foreign hair could sell even their land, he offered a higher price to the other side to sell himself. In his view, Russia had no reason not to sell it.
Zhu Jinglun doesn’t have much hope that this transaction is so political that I am lucky to lose my life.
