The Sino-Russian war began.

Two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chen Ming received an urgent report from Europe - Napoleon had started a war against Russia. So, on the day of August 15, Chen Han also unilaterally declared war on Russia.

But in the ensuing period, Chen Han's domestic journalism suddenly broke out a series of negative news related to the United Kingdom.

From the British supporting Spain, to the British supporting Russia. They have already opposed Chen Han more than once.

"Your Majesty, the Great Emperor. I would very much like to know whether the recent remarks in your country's newspapers concerning Sino-British friendship represent the will of yourself, Your Majesty, the Great Emperor, and your government. ”

"If so, I don't think there is room for negotiation between China and Britain on the British Guiana issue."

"If not, I hope that your cabinet will rein in your country's press and publishing industry as soon as possible and clean up the newspapers and public opinion of those unscrupulous and irresponsible reports. Don't let these words set off a bad wave and hurt the friendship between China and the UK! ”

James Korver's words are very 'diplomatic'. And when he asked to see Chen Ming this time, he also brought a few newspapers with very passionate words, which can be regarded as evidence.

James Korver soon walked out of the palace. Outside the palace, by the carriage, a young man opened the door for James Korwall. "Sir, does the Emperor of China say anything?" This is James Korver's secretary.

"Hehe, Tom, how could the Emperor of China be expressed in person? This is in the interest of the country. James Korver smiled. He was going to teach the young man in front of him a lesson. "But one thing is certain, the public opinion of the country cannot turn its back on the interests of the state." No country will give absolute autonomy to journalism, and journalism must serve the country.

"We don't know what China's purpose is now. But one thing is clear, the emperor of China already knew that Napoleon went to war against Russia. This was the news that would determine the fate of Britain. If Napoleon had conquered Russia, the British Empire would have been under heavier pressure than Mount Tai. Will China take advantage of the fire at that time......" James Korver, who could speak fluent Chinese and write neatly with a hand, used Tarzan as an analogy, and his secretary could understand it.

Chinese culture was learned by the aristocracy of every country in Europe in this era, just like the French language before it.

Russia was arguably the last ally of the British on the European continent, and they could not believe what would become of London if Russia was also conquered by France.

If the whole continent were closed to Britain, Britain's industry and commerce would fall to the bottom in an instant.

James is most afraid of China now, you know, China has declared war on Russia, he was very afraid when he heard the news, if the Chinese concluded an alliance with France and the Ottomans, God, Russia will not survive. But on the same day that China declared war on Russia, the Chinese Foreign Ministry came to inform James that this was just a separate Chinese action against Russia. The Chinese are saying that they did not conclude a secret treaty with France, they were just taking advantage of the fire.

But soon there was a flurry of negative British news in Chinese newspapers, which was clearly dominated by a powerful political force. And with the power of the Chinese, when they start a war against Russia, they can also start a war against India.

The reason why James rushed to the palace so "recklessly" to "question" Chen Ming was because he was very suspicious that the Chinese government had lied to him before, and the fact was that the Chinese had really formed a secret treaty with France, and their real purpose was not the land of Guyana controlled by the British, but India in the hands of the British. Now, no one can change the fact that the Chinese have the power to change the world.

What's more, China is a highly centralized imperial state. The supreme power of the state is in the hands of Chen Ming. If he had not thought about the British, China would not have opened negotiations with the British on British Guiana at this time, which shows that the Chinese want to drive British power out of the South American continent. And Napoleon's war against Russia was the trigger for this attempt by China.

"As a representative of China's interests, will the emperor of China change his will and concede the interests of the country because of a frivolous protest?" James Korver never felt like he had that big a face.

"I have come to the palace today to ask for an audience with the Emperor, only to express the will of the British Government, not to get an answer from the Emperor. These are two things that don't go well together. If James hadn't been able to contact Britain quickly, he would have wanted to give up all the thousands of square kilometers of British Guiana to China. At this time, Britain must definitely pacify China as much as possible, let China stay in the east with peace of mind, and never add more trouble to the British.

As the British ambassador to China, James Korver's status is not low at all, and he is also a worthy role in the entire British Foreign Office.

So he still knows about some of Britain's secret plans.

For example, in the Franco-Russian War, when Napoleon's army entered Russia, the British Army led by General Arthur Willis landed in Portugal under the escort of the powerful Royal Fleet. Sir Arthur Wellesley would try to lead an expeditionary force to drive the French out of Portuguese territory before the end of the Franco-Russian War.

In this way, even if Russia was really conquered by France, England would be able to gain a foothold on the European land. Because of Portugal, Spain, as long as the Iberian Peninsula continues to fight, it can continue to bleed Napoleon's great empire. Not only did this prevent Napoleon from concentrating all his forces on Britain, but it also kept Napoleon's finances strained in a vicious circle.

But all this requires a big premise - the Chinese do not have extraneous branches. What the British feared most was the Triple Alliance of China, France and Austria, which together dealt with the Russians......

Without the European continent, Great Britain still has its own colonies, but if there are no colonies, then Britain can only be a second-rate European country. British interests in India had long been at a standstill, but India remained the most important colony of the British Empire.

"Do you understand now? My sweet lad! James Korver smiled in the carriage.

Now that your task in this matter has come to an end, it is up to God's will. James believed that God would honor the pious, not the blasphemous Napoleon.

In the palace, Chen Ming didn't listen to James Korver's protest at all. As soon as the person left, he waved his hand. And everybody withdrew from the main hall again. He himself turned around and went to the Imperial Garden, this small Imperial Garden is completely incomparable to the magnificent Old Summer Palace, but it is so comfortable to lie on a rocking chair in the pavilion, blowing a cool breeze and squinting his eyes!

I don't know what the reason is lately. Chen Ming suddenly enjoyed the 'quietness'.

There was no human voice at all, only the sound of the wind blowing, the sound of the waves fluctuating, the sound of insects and birds chirping, and I stayed quietly by myself. He felt like a treat.

For national affairs, especially cumbersome government affairs, more and more inattentive!

Chen Ming felt that his 'aversion to politics' had evolved to a new level. Especially after all kinds of victories, glories, and glories have been experienced. Chen Ming understood why Tang Xuanzong was half a hero and half a wine. This government affairs have taken a long time to handle, and it really makes people want to slack off. In particular, the country's achievements are obvious and thriving, and there is even more subconscious of alienating government affairs.

It's not that Chen Ming is trying to establish the prestige of the cabinet, but that he really doesn't want to deal with government affairs.

After realizing that the development of the State Information Administration Yuan could not catch up with the development of the local advisory bureaus, Chen Ming has been consciously strengthening the power of the Information Administration Yuan. This enhancement has been ongoing before, but at a much faster pace.

For example, the current parliament already has a certain right to know and review, and for the types of fiscal expenditures and taxes, Chen Ming will hand over part of the legal review power to the senior administration in the next step. The Cabinet may be restrained to a certain extent, but the Senate is not the National Assembly, it is the prototype of the National Assembly, and the rights and interests of the Senate are gradually expanded, and when Chen Ming abdicates, the Senate is changed to the National Assembly. Ten or twenty years after the new emperor, the domestic political situation will become a two-legged walk that complements and restricts each other.

It will only take time to expand the rights and interests of the Yuan. Time will make the domestic capital economy expand and become stronger and stronger, and now that the Advisory Bureau has more and more deep roots in the local area, time is on Chen Ming's side.

All in all, Chen Ming feels that it is generally decided, even if he does not sit back and relax, he has almost completed the layout of the domestic political arena, which seems to be one of the reasons for Chen Ming's slackness.

Anyway, apart from the European military, Chen Ming is no longer interested in anything. In the next year, he will let Chen Ding participate in political affairs, some political affairs and the military that he is not interested in, Chen Ming can only look at the cabinet submission.

Time flies. In October 1812, the reply of the British government was delivered to James Cornwall.

The Sino-British negotiations on the British Guiana issue have reached a formal result!

Many people in Nanjing City want to come to see the excitement and keep their eyes on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and this negotiation has provided a lot of talking points for the teahouses, teahouses, streets and alleys of Nanjing City.

But out of Nanjing City, there are not many people who care about this 'little thing'. Who made British Guiana's portions too small and too small?

And the reason why many people in Nanjing City are staring at Guyana is completely related to their own interests. South America has been regarded by Chen Han as his own territory, and when the entire north of South America was taken by Chen Han, British Guinaa was lying in the southeast of South America like a fly, looking at it like many nobles who were about to divide South America and felt uncomfortable.

Chen Ming looked at the letter and newspaper sent by the European Office, one letter every half a month, one letter every half a month, and the collateral benefits of taking a boat trip were not enough to send a letter. It's just that Chen Han has to post millions of Chinese dollars on this piece. However, this is not worth mentioning at all compared to the importance of the most timely intelligence of the Franco-Russian war that can be controlled by Chen Ming.

The Battle of Smolensk, and the even bloodier Battle of Borodino. It was a decisive battle, because Borodino was only 250 miles from Moscow, and the French took Borodino, won the battle of the General Assembly, and the door to Moscow was opened.

But this is not the main reason for Chen Ming's joy, more importantly, Chen Ming has seen changes from this conference battle. Although the Russian army commander Balagodion did not die because of this battle. But what is a balagodia?
