Chapter 1164: Money Can Make Ghosts Grind

Zeng Guofan lamented: "Everyone, bear with it, bear with it, this is not the time for us to be reckless, if we really meet each other, we will really break up in the Qing Dynasty......"

Yixin's heart was gloomy, originally, he ascended the throne of the Ninety-Five, and wanted to do a career ambitiously, in the past year, he sent two groups of students to England and France alone, the number reached two hundred, in addition, he also sent a plenipotentiary minister to Europe, and at the same time sent an inspection team, trying to learn from the West, and master Yi long skills to control Yi, this sentence, the original Zeng Guofan and Wen Xiang don't know how many times to say to themselves, and now they can finally put it into practice, But I didn't expect that before I had time to wait for the blossoms and fruits, I ushered in the first slap!

I don't know when his measures will blossom and when they will bear fruit, but he has realized how difficult this catastrophe is in front of him, and in the face of the old man of Tsarist Russia who is more greedy than a hungry wolf, it is difficult for the court to retreat with his whole body!

The ministers of Britain and France and Spain were invited by Zeng Guofan to the Prime Minister's National Affairs Yamen, the original Prime Minister's Minister of National Affairs Yamen Yixin has become the emperor, and this son had to be handed over to Zeng Guofan to preside, after all, there are very few people in the court who understand foreign affairs, Zeng Guofan is now concurrently serving as the Minister of Rites, the Minister of Military Aircraft and the Prime Minister's Minister of National Affairs, it can be said that the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition.

"Master Zeng, I don't know what you asked the three of us to come over?"

British Minister Chris asked with a smile, in fact, he just asked knowingly, now the news of Tsarist Russia's attack on the Heilongjiang River Valley has spread all over the world, how can the three of them not know, now the Qing Dynasty is definitely numb, 200,000 Tsarist Russian troops, not to mention the current Qing court, even the Manchu Empire, which owns the whole of China, is not capable of contending, even Britain and France, two world powers, will never dare to take it lightly!

Now Zeng Guofan has invited three people over, no need to ask, he must want to ask the envoys of the three countries to mediate!

"Mr. Chris, Mr. Papando, Mr. Gonzalez, to tell the truth, now Tsarist Russia suddenly launched an invasion of our Great Qing State, it is really against morality, and now the national strength of the Great Qing State is declining, and I am really unwilling to start a war lightly, and the people are in dire straits, so I would like to ask three ministers to come forward to mediate for the Qing and Russian countries, if the mediation is successful, I will definitely want to express my gratitude to your country!"

Zeng Guofan said with a smile.

Whether it's Chris or Padopan, or Gonzalez, no one wants to let Tsarist Russia make trouble in Heilongjiang, who doesn't blush with this big piece of fat? However, this is the Far East, the most remote area in the Far East, and only a country like Tsarist Russia, which has an extreme desire to possess territory, will extend its big hand here, and only Tsarist Russia, a powerful country bordering the Manchu Qing Dynasty, is close to the water.

Chris smiled bitterly: "Lord Zeng, you must think too highly of us, although the strength of our Britain, France and Spain is not weak, but after all, the control in this area is too small, and this is on land, not at sea, 200,000 Russian troops, even us, we have to do our best to defeat them, tens of thousands of kilometers away from our homeland, and Tsarist Russia, we have no chance of winning." It's too difficult to curb the ambitions of the Russians and mediate among you......"

The other two ministers also shook their heads, it was hard to be sure, but they also wanted to take this opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity, how could they miss such a good opportunity?

Who is Zeng Guofan? He is skilled and shrewd, how can he not see through the thoughts of several ministers? This is not a rabbit or an eagle, just waiting for the benefits promised by yourself!

"Mr. Three Ministers, if the three of you can stop the invasion of Tsarist Russia and force Tsarist Russia to retreat, we are willing to agree to your country to build a railway on our land, and at the same time we are willing to transfer the ownership and use rights of the railway......"

The three of them were in good spirits, and they could build railways freely in the Great Qing Dynasty? This is a big temptation, once the construction of the railway in the Qing Dynasty began, it means that the entire terrain outside the customs will be exposed in front of the Three Kingdoms, whether it is military defense, mines, resources, there will be no secret to protect! With the help of the railway, the three countries will reap huge benefits!

"Lord Zeng, it is indeed too much for the Tsarist Empire to act like this, and it is the bounden duty of the British Empire to uphold international justice! We will definitely give it our all! ”

Chris said "righteously".

"Yes, Lord Zeng, our French Empire will definitely not sit idly by and watch this matter! The Tsarist Empire was so hateful, it was so insatiable! Invade everywhere, don't teach them a lesson, they are all lawless! ”

Padopan exclaimed even more sanctimoniously.

Zeng Guofan smiled bitterly in his heart,*, aren't you insatiable? Fifty steps to laugh at a hundred steps, no, it's a hundred steps to laugh at a hundred steps! If it weren't for you joining forces to attack the Great Qing Kingdom, driving the imperial court to Rehe, and forcing the imperial court to sign a humiliating treaty, how could the Great Qing Kingdom fall to this point? At the very least, Guo Ye, Zuo Zongtang, and Li Hongzhang will not rebel, now the entire Guannai is still under the control of the Qing Dynasty, even if Tsarist Russia is insatiable, just a country, he dares to face Guo Ye's battlefield fierceness alone? Now Lao Tzu has no strength, if he has the strength, Lao Tzu will drive all of you out of China!

However, people are under the roof, they have to bow their heads, it's useless to say anything now, big fists are the last word, Guo Ye was right at the beginning, what moral articles are fake, only strength is the key to really determining fate!

"Three ministers, then trouble you, without further ado, I will make an appointment with the Russian minister Claufsky, tomorrow, we will start mediation, I hope the three ministers can administer justice, so please all three!"

Saying this, Zeng Guofan handed three silver tickets to the hands of three people, this is a benefit for three people, if you want people to work hard, then you must give enough benefits, money can make ghosts grind, as long as it can promote this, Zeng Guofan does not mind opening the way with silver, in each envelope, there are thirty silver tickets of one thousand taels of silver, 30,000 taels of silver, even if it is converted into pounds, it is thousands of pounds, this is a lot of wealth!

The three of them suddenly saw the money, stuffed the red envelope into their arms, patted their chests and promised that they would do their best to promote mediation! (To be continued.) )
