617 Threats and compromises

Jiaqing, who was standing on the dragon chair, laughed angrily, he used an extremely ugly laughter tone, looked at Zhu Yongfang, the ambassador of the Tang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, with cold eyes, and said a few "good" words in a row, and said: "You Tang people do things without leakage, and you insist that those accounts are opened by you Tang people, and belong to the Tang people and not those criminal officials, and you are determined not to cooperate with the investigation of our dynasty." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoDo you think I'm so easy to be bullied? ”

After a while, Jiaqing stood up from the dragon chair, his neck was very straight, but he didn't know why his shoulders were a little bent, Jiaqing said loudly: "Since you Tang people think that you can't cooperate with me to handle the case, then I can't cooperate with the Tang Dynasty to immigrate to the sea!" ”

This is obviously a targeted means, and even Jiaqing knows it. There is no doubt that Datang is a strong country, but Datang also has some of its own lifelines, and insufficient population is the most critical lifeline. In this era, there are very few countries and nationalities with a population of more than 10 million, and the Great Reckoning is the first in the world, and although the population on the land of the subcontinent is large, in fact, because of the difference between beliefs and ethnic groups, the number of nation-states exceeding 10 million is actually limited, not to mention that these princely states are actually colonies of Westerners. There are several countries in Europe with a population of more than 10 million, and almost every one of them is a powerful country. There was also Japan in Asia, but it had also become a colony of the Tang Kingdom.

Although the Tang Dynasty has only been established for less than 20 years, the local population has already reached more than 10 million, which is entirely due to the "population plunder" from the Qing Dynasty. Hundreds of thousands of people in the north were plundered to enrich the Guanwai. There is no difference. However, Datang was completely different from the wild boar skin at that time. It is a huge country with a land area of more than 20 million square kilometers. To rule such a huge country, it naturally needs a sufficient population, and Jiaqing knows very well how sparsely populated the land in North America is, otherwise not every Chinese who comes to North America will be able to get a piece of land of their own, and it will not be able to divide it.

The Tang Dynasty needed more people to fill the land in order to gain stability and stronger national power. Although the annual migration of millions of people is a very heavy burden for Datang, the significance is huge. After a few years of living in their new habitat, these immigrants began to bring life to the place. And bring more benefits to Datang. Although with the current size and military strength of the Tang Dynasty, coupled with the unique geographical location of North America itself, even if the population source is not interrupted, the country will continue to be strong, but the speed of growth has slowed down.

However, Jiaqing also saw that the Tang people were "eager for quick success", they pursued the so-called efficiency, and they could come up with a good plan and never use a slightly inferior plan, so the Tang people could not bear it.

Sure enough, after Jiaqing shouted this particularly cool sentence. Zhu Yongfang, who had always had a flat face, finally changed his expression. He was stunned in reality, then surprised, and finally transformed into a calm like water, he said to Jiaqing: "Your Majesty, don't try to make senseless threats to my Datang, your country has signed a relevant treaty with our country, and it is still in effect, rashly tearing up the treaty is no longer a matter of simply hurting the relations between the two countries, and it may make the diplomatic relations between our two countries shake." ”

Jiaqing saw that Zhu Yongfang was anxious, but he smiled, and he said, "Is this a threat to my Qing court and me?" The earth shook the mountains, when you shook the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, didn't you think about such an end? ”

Zhu Yongfang shook his head and didn't say anything, but looking at Jiaqing's eyes like looking at a madman, it was a kind of mockery, and even some sympathy. Jiaqing didn't understand Zhu Yongfang's emotions, he only thought that he was silently accusing and frightened, but his heart was very happy.

Zhu Yongfang thought about it, suddenly lowered his posture again, and said: "Please think twice, Your Majesty the Emperor, the friendship between the two countries is extremely important, and they both have major interests in each other. ”

As a diplomat of a big country, especially a sane diplomat of a big country, even if you have a strong country behind you, it is not advisable to overpower others in all cases. Zhu Yongfang is a wise diplomat, and in his opinion, personal honor and disgrace and the use of words and tongues for a moment are meaningless. If the relationship between Tang and Qing really becomes irreversible, then even if Datang can finally clean up the situation, the price to pay may be too great. Just as Jiaqing realized, the Tang people have a special efficiency-oriented complex, so the Tang people are particularly rational. Zhu Yongfang believes that it is absolutely in the interests of Datang to take a step back and find a solution, and ultimately prevent things from deteriorating indefinitely, even to the point of war.

The Tang Dynasty was not ready to overthrow the Manchus at this time, and perhaps Bai Nan did have such a desire in his own presidency, but at least during his first presidential term, he did not have this idea. The annexation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the mastery of the homeland of China is a huge and arduous project, and the Tang Dynasty does not lack the ability and appetite, but it needs to make various preparations before that.

Bai Nan is a super meticulous person, to complete a plan, he can divide things into tens of thousands of small details, and then each detail has someone to think about the plan, and finally converge into a grand plan and political project. The reason why Baeknam has become a politician recognized by everyone in his early forties is not only because of his political courage, not because of his handsome image, but because he is such a genius who coordinates a grand strategic plan and implements it.

At the time of the cuckoo plan, the general manager of Zero Zero Datang had invested a lot, and it had been preparing for three years, and there were various layouts after the Beijing incident. Obviously, the energy and national power required to annex the Manchus will only increase. In Bai Nan's first term, he made more adjustments and reforms to the national system in order to give full play to the stronger capabilities of government agencies and the army, and at the same time further promote domestic development, so that Datang has stronger national strength, which will also make his next major plan more comfortable when it is implemented.

Zhu Yongfang is very aware of all this, so he has the responsibility not to drag Datang into a meaningless war, but he also understands that Datang has never had a time to make concessions without a bottom line.
