Prince Gong was a little displeased, although he was also very angry when he heard that Zuo Zongtang was bombarding the Sulu country, but the new policy of foreign affairs was planned by himself, and he could reprimand Zuo Zongtang, but Li Hongzao was not able to speak like this, "Li Zhongtang's words are bad, the queen mother's will is given to Zuo Zongtang, and one of them is cheap, naturally Zuo Zongtang is the minister of the Qincha, and he can naturally patrol the Nanyang on behalf of the sky, but it is just a Sulu country, how can he not go?" Prince Gong barely called Li Hongzao's name on the face of the emperor, "Moreover, this Spaniard wolf ambition, invaded Luzon, not to mention, and is ready to destroy Sulu, this Sulu domestic matter Zuo Zongtang said clearly, it was provoked by a group of people from the Spanish Chamber of Commerce, and when Sulu was in turmoil, the Spanish governor of Luzon justifiably sent troops to safeguard Spain's interests in Sulu, although they are overseas remnants, in the end, they are also descendants of the Celestial Empire, and let the foreigners kill them, in the final analysis, it is unreasonable, Moreover, Zuo Zongtang also reported that the Spanish fleet had encountered the Beiyang Naval Division near Luzon Island, and the Beiyang Naval Division is now safe and sound, "Prince Gong couldn't help but feel a little proud, "It can be seen that the power of the Beiyang Naval Division!" ”

Everyone present at this incident has heard that the Spaniards were originally furious, clamoring to give "the Chinese a lesson like the Battle of Humen Dagukou," and even successively linked up with the envoys of Russia and other countries, and jointly exerted pressure on Prime Minister Yamen, and must demand that the Beiyang Naval Division immediately withdraw from Spain's sphere of influence, maintain an unarmed presence around Luzon, and "leave the affairs of Sulu to the people of Sulu to solve by themselves." ±, "But as soon as Zuo Zongtang's excerpt arrived, I heard that a small part of the Far East Fleet of the Spaniards had encountered, but I didn't expect that the high-spirited Spaniards were all retreating and didn't dare to move, so that the government and the opposition were sensational, but I didn't expect that it was less than 30 years, and the east and west of the river had changed, and the foreign devils who used to show off their might on the sea actually faced the Beiyang Naval Division of the Qing Dynasty and didn't dare to move!"

The Spanish ambassador suddenly died down, not to mention that Britain, the United States and France have expressed a wait-and-see attitude in the countries with the greatest interests in China, the Spaniards have the Russians mixed in, to no avail, besides, the Russians will not do anything to help others in the fire, Spain had to contact the Portuguese ambassador, but the Portuguese ambassador has been sitting in the prime minister's yamen for a long time, you know, Macao is still in the hands of the Portuguese!

Different from the Sulu State, although Macao is small, after all, it is a direct territory, in the old years, the Portuguese slowly occupied the island of Macao in the name of drying goods, which is not justified in the name, and now the Beiyang Naval Division, which has been practicing for several years, is dispatched to easily clean up the Sulu State, of course, it is not to destroy the Sulu State, but the Portuguese only have such a foothold in Macao in the Far East, which is not as big as Spain's great cause in the Nanyang, with Luzon, the spice island, and there is no decent naval force in the Far East. There is no need for the Beiyang Naval Division to go out, as long as the Guangdong Naval Division besieges for a few hours, the Portuguese will be driven into the sea, and at this time they suddenly come out and say that the Spanish fleet does not dare to make a move against the Beiyang Naval Division, and the Portuguese ambassador will naturally not say that he is mixed with the Spaniards, but Zhang Jing, who is pestering the Prime Minister's Yamen every day, must ask to protect the Portuguese in Macao.

The Spanish ambassador also softened his attitude, and Prince Gong avoided it, and he found Bao Jun, and only said, "Please respect and protect the Spanish rule in Luzon." "Nothing else.

Prince Gong explained these in detail, and everyone understood that the shelling of Sulu that seemed to have no effect had so many results, Prince Gong continued, "Moreover, foreigners are not monolithic, the policy of the Queen Mother since she came to power is to make friends from afar and attack closely, try to prevent the Russians, and mainly appease the British, American and French people, and have done so much business with foreigners over the years, which also has this meaning." ”

"The Spaniards have asked to sign a treaty with Prime Minister Yamen," Wen Xiang was extremely happy, his face flushed, "Sulu is still a vassal of the Celestial Empire, and the Spaniards only need to maintain the rule of Luzon." ”

"The king of the land of several small islands near the left of Sulu has also gone to Sulu to meet Zuo Zongtang and ask to belong to the Celestial Empire.

"There are still many islands near Luzon, if there is no one, give the king of Sulu, who is willing to return to the vassal of the Shuntian Empire, and give them preferential treatment, and naturally the Beiyang sailors will support them, "Luzon is really rich, and the rice is three crops a year, but now it can't completely tear up the face with the Spaniards, although in the South Seas, the Spaniards are not as good as China, but if the Spaniards ruthlessly transfer the fleet from other places, the South China Sea is not their own words."

"Most of the vassals of the national dynasty are in the South Seas, the Sulu State has always been submissive to the Celestial Empire, if it is not appeased, it will chill the hearts of the vassals, the Southern Palm is no longer in the court, and Luzon has also destroyed the country, if you don't go through the South Seas, in the future, the hands of these foreigners can get closer and closer to China."
