Xinshun 1730

Chapter 811 Comparison of Reform Determination

Quoting the famous sentence of Song Taizu, he only said that being an official and making meritorious service in battle is not just to make some money, rich descendants.

These words really made the dozen or so people present extremely upset.

Chen Tongfu has a saying, saying:
I didn't see Nan Shijiu for a long time, but I talked about Bei Qunkong.With only one hand on the spot, after all, return my Wan Fuxiong.Self-smiling, dignified Han envoys, like ocean waters, still only flow east.And return to Qionglu to worship, once met Gaojie.

The capital of Yao, the land of Shun, and the land of Yu.There should be one and a half ashamed ministers in the middle.Thousands of miles of fishy smell is like this, the eternal hero is still there, and when will the majesty pass.Why should Hu Yun ask, He Ri is among them.

The founding of the Dashun country started when the Tartars were in danger and the world was in peril, and then held high the banner of "protecting the world", and then based on the knowledge of the Yongjia and Yongkang schools. Who would not know the poems of Chen Tongfu? back?

They all thought, this is the capital of Yao, the land of Shun, and the land of Yu.There should be one and a half of Yu Zhong, not for the sake of rich descendants, not for promotion and wealth, but to find a way out for the world.Anyway, there are one and a half who are fighting for their ideals.

If you have been trapped within the Celestial Dynasty, but outside the Celestial Dynasty, it is not worth mentioning that they are all barbarians, so that's all.

But the group of people who are guests today should be the group of people who were the first to open their eyes to see the world in Dashun.

They are well aware of the crisis in this world of great controversy, and have been subtly educated by Liu Yu for more than ten years. They know that the size of the earth is fixed now. If they don't fight now, they may lose their chance in the future.

Among the dozens of people, although most of them are for promotion and fortune, or to find a future, but after all, this "the capital of Yao, the land of Shun, and the feudal title of Yu. There should be one and a half of them" is really ideal. .

They also knew Liu Yu's daily behavior, and they knew what Liu Yu had told them in the past ten years.Now that Liu Yu said such obvious nonsense, they certainly didn't believe that this was Liu Yu's original intention.

It's just that Liu Yu just said that, and for a while, the spirits of these people seemed to be drained.

Xindao talked about the world of great controversy, about the benefits in the future, and about the glory of the motherland, but in the end, he was still a private servant of a family with one surname?The hero is like a whale, but he has no choice but to say these words. Now think about it, what is the purpose of fighting and fighting for more than ten years and fighting fiercely?
Since it's for the sake of rich and noble descendants, why bother?After going to Nanyang, what should be greedy, what should be bribed, what should be embraced by money, what should be cheated by tricks... You are not even allowed to speak, and you are not allowed to express your ideas.

Seeing far and learning a lot, Dashun consciously felt sick all over his body, and he should be cured vigorously.It doesn't matter whether it's Nanyang or Xiyi, but it's just like the porridge a sick person drinks, it's not medicine after all.

He even said that Dashun's legs were sick, and the Nanyang Xiyi incident was just like a pair of crutches, but after all, using crutches was only a temporary solution, not the root cause.

I thought about it before, and worked hard, and I will be at the top of the temple in the future before I can talk about national policy.

Now it sounds like they are just a group of guard dogs.The grand feelings of the past few years are just a smile.

It's just self-impressed.

Self-impression is the cheapest thing, what's the use?
Except for these "fools", the rest of the people were not immediately shaken by Liu Yu's words, but they all felt the contrast between Liu Yu's words today and his usual strong words.

I thought to myself, yes, Jinghou is teaching us how to do things, it is better to keep a low profile in the future.

It is said that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world.

But this Nanyang, since it is outside the world, the rise and fall of the world seems to have nothing to do with Nanyang.

If the former dynasty abandoned Hami, gave way to Hetao, and retreated to Annan, the world would not perish.Since everyone is outside the world, it is impossible to talk about the rise and fall of the world, and everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world, so let's do what we love.

More than ten years ago, in Weihai, I only heard that I was a "citizen with responsibilities, obligations and rights to the rise and fall of Zhuxia", and I actually believed it.

Now it seems that after all, they are just subjects, a group of dogs raised by the emperor.

Thinking of this, it seemed as if they had unloaded the heavy burden they had carried for more than ten years. The crowd toasted and said: "Listening to Jinghou's words is really better than reading books for twenty years. Originally, I have read a lot before, but I was just deceiving myself and others." It’s just a language. Today I have been taught, so I can straighten out my identity.”

Liu Yu also laughed loudly and said, "That's right! It's really reasonable to put your identity right. Come on, now that you understand, let's toast together."

He took the lead and drank it all in one gulp, and the rest also raised their glasses to drink together.

just.

Someone laughed at himself wryly, turned the wry smile into wine, drank it down, and turned it into urine and sweat in a short time, at most, he lost his liver, and his head hurt all night. When he woke up tomorrow, the sun would rise as usual. All melted.

Some people think: The ancients said that if you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die in the evening.Only by studying and learning in the past twenty years can we know the right way of the motherland.The pre-Qin sages said: follow the way but not the king!The way is clear, and the road is dangerous, but the most difficult thing is when the road is long and long.Now that you can hear the Dao, you don't need to search for it, it is steep, as long as you go on, how can you not reach it?

There are also people who think: follow the way but not the king.The way exists and is clear, but the world thinks our way is a wrong way.So, am I wrong?Or is the world wrong?If I am right, why not let the world take my way as the right way?
Some people even think: Correct your identity?Heh, I'm standing right, it's the world that's crooked.Why not let the world be crooked, and Lao Tzu will be upright, but ask Lao Tzu to turn his body around?

Everyone has their own ideas and thoughts.

At this time, Liu Yu, who raised his glass and pretended to be confused, had the mentality of "seeing the excitement is not a big deal".

He is very clear that the people in front of him, who have been subtly influenced by the thought of being loyal and good ministers and taking the world as their own responsibility in 2000, coupled with the ideas he instilled in the past ten years, which are later and incompatible with this time, will produce What a miraculous transformation.

Tian Zhenyi said that the emperor now wants them to be a group of "eunuchs", which doesn't matter.

The emperor asked this group of people to come to him and let him speak clearly, just as Tian Zhenyi said: the emperor is in a dilemma, he can't bear to give up his current pioneering business, and he is worried about the future.

That being the case, once you figure out the emperor's mentality, the rest will be easy to handle.

If the emperor had no accidents, he could live another ten or twenty years. During this period, it was enough for him to accomplish some of the things he wanted to do.

As for what will happen to these people in the future and what will happen to the emperor after his death, let's take a step at a time.

As far as this moment is concerned, it doesn't have much impact.

After a few glasses of wine and a few conversations, Liu Yu didn't care about the current emperor's thoughts, nor did he care about what kind of controversy would be caused when the emperor went to the south of the Yangtze River next year, and he didn't care what the people in front of him were thinking.

At this moment, what he cared about was, after all, Europe, which was tens of thousands of miles away.

Can things in the Netherlands be done?

This is the cornerstone of Dashun's future expansion and industrial and commercial development.

As for the emperor, the ministers, thoughts, and conspiracies, compared to this matter, they really couldn't get into his mind.If this matter fails, many subsequent things will be castles in the air, and there is no need to worry at this time.

…………

At this moment.

The situation in Europe, as expected, is heading in a direction that is very beneficial to Dashun.In other words, rushing towards the road that is beneficial to Liu Yu's design for Dashun.

On the European battlefield at this time, both sides participating in the war are exhausted.

With the collapse of the Dutch financial market brought about by Dashun's voyage to Southeast Asia, both parties involved in the war turned their attention to Russia in the north.

If we say that this war of Austrian succession is a story with multiple protagonists.

The protagonist in 45 years must be Dashun who went to Nanyang, and used thunderous means to disintegrate the strongest combat power in the Netherlands-the financial bonds of Amsterdam.

And in the coming 46 years, the protagonist is probably none other than Russia—if the two sides continue to fight.

The war is about to enter its fifth year.

At this time, the powerful and big countries in the world have basically participated in this war.

Dashun made a surprise attack in 45, and that's the end of it.At the end of the crossbow, you can't wear plain.

After all, Dashun did not have the ability to transport even [-] troops to Europe; it did not even have the ability to participate in naval battles west of the Indian Ocean.

The two sides that are still fighting are exhausted, and they all know that if there is an army that can fight in Europe, it will be a force that will directly change the situation of the battle.

Whoever side this army is on, wins.

Therefore, after the whole of Europe experienced the shock of Dashun's voyage to Southeast Asia and the financial collapse of the Netherlands, Qi Qi turned his attention to Petersburg.

Before the war, Russia was still a "German" country, and the German party was too powerful.In order to prevent Russia from participating in the war, France instigated Sweden to declare war on Russia, making Russia unable to participate in the dispute between China and Europe.

However, Sweden is no longer what it used to be.The French imagined that Russia and Switzerland would fight another long-term war at the level of the Great Northern War. Instead, the reality was that in less than two years, Finland was defeated by the Russians all the way, and the fiance's uncle of the coup queen became the crown prince of Sweden. By the way, Russia has undergone a political change by the way.

The Russo-Russian War was over long ago.

The turmoil of the Russian coup died down.

When the countries of Britain, France and Opsiehe are exhausted, who this behemoth in the north forms an alliance with will directly determine the final direction of the war.

At this time, Petersburg was full of vitality.

40 years ago, Peter I decided to reform and moved the capital here.

Reform is bound to have labor pains. Russia is small in size, and this labor pain lasted only 40 years.

From moving the capital to almost emptying the Russian treasury, to changing customs so that the old party did not recognize Peter as Russian orthodox, to beating the prince to death with his own hands... and waves of coups, anti-coups, and coups after his death. The pain lasted for 40 years.

Now, 40 years of labor pains have finally passed, and many people believe that Russia will become stronger.

Since her accession to the throne, the Empress has always regarded herself as the "true heir of Peter the Great", and everything has followed her father's path of reform.

What's more, Lianli's prince, the future true German fan and real fan Peter III, in the edict title of Lianli's prince, the first title is "Grandson of Peter the Great".

That title, and no other, comes first, and the attitude is already evident.

Back then, Peter personally killed the prince in order to reform, and in order to ensure the results of the reform, he revised the inheritance law to allow women to inherit in line. After 40 years of pain, the reform finally continued.

Dashun's reforms can only do something outside the world, not to mention the emperor personally killing the prince to ensure the results of the reform.

Luckily for Russia, it's not that big at this point and just needs to go through 40 years of labor pains.

Russia is very lucky. At this time, it is not small, the pain is over, and the countries are exhausted. At this time, it is a force that can influence the post-war situation in Europe more than Dashun.

The unique advantages, several years of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, the reconciliation with Dashun and the resolution of the border issue, and the World War I in Sweden revealed that Sweden is no longer the old Sweden and has no worries. Let Russia sit at home at this time, quietly Waiting for tired parties to make an offer.

Since Queen Elizabeth came to the throne, she has demonstrated very superb political skills.

She seems to be keen on balls and banquets, and ignores the government, but there is no chaos in Russia. Instead, she is moving forward in an orderly manner under the leadership of her cronies.

She only cares about the strategic direction, details and everything, and let go of everything.

After dealing with the enemies of the coup d'état, the queen announced that "the death penalty is not a doctor", and no longer imposed the death penalty on any nobleman, at most it was exile. After changing the fear of Queen Anna's frequent car splits and Dongchang ruling the country, the nobles cheered and shouted long live.

Officially promulgated a decree declaring that nobles had absolute control over serfs, continuing the policy of "using serfs to work in factories on a regular basis" in the Peter era, which enabled the development of Russian handicrafts with almost zero labor costs.

The formal cancellation of all kinds of local tariffs in the country has made Russia's commercial activities steadily active.

At least, so far.

Except for the fact that the empress had spots on her hair a few days ago, it was extremely ugly, and the doctor's suggestion was to shave her head, so she had to wear a wig, so she issued an order [all courtiers must shave their heads and wear black wigs to court] In addition, basically there are not too many policies that disgust the nobles and the bourgeoisie.

As for this hair-shaving order, the nobles also responded with great tolerance-it is a woman's nature to love beauty, the queen shaved her head bald, and her own hair is thick and beautiful, wouldn't it make the queen unhappy?
Even if there is no such order, you still have to take the initiative to say that your scalp is itchy.

Only the empress issued an order last year to allow the spread of Lamaism, as long as Lama declares allegiance to Russia.Immediately afterwards, the hair-shaving order appeared, which inevitably caused some people who like gossip to think about it.

However, in the aristocratic circle, there is no room for such gossip to spread.

It’s not that the nobles don’t like gossip, but because of the Queen’s attitude towards her lover—especially the Marquis of La Chettadi of France, who was a lover, who contributed a lot to the coup, and was even guarded by the Russian guards during the coup. People called "little daddy" did not let Russia fall to France, so how could the empress order her hair to be shaved just because she found a good friend?
The entire Russian aristocratic circle knew that Bestuyev, the current Deputy Prime Minister of the Privy Council and in charge of the Queen's foreign affairs, was an extreme anti-French pro-British faction.

He opposes any alliance with France, believes that Russia's best ally is Britain, and has been touting his idea of ​​a three-nation alliance between Russia, Britain and Austria.

This person is not only an anti-Fa faction on the surface.

Moreover, he is also a "remnant of the previous dynasty", not to mention the right-hand man of Queen Anna's concubine Byron, and even the direct descendant of the former Queen Anna in 31 years.

With such a resume, it is said that after the queen came to power in a coup d'état, her exile in Siberia was considered a blessing from the Virgin Mary.

But not only did not, but after the coup, he was appointed as the Deputy Prime Minister of the Privy Council.He was recently awarded the St. Andrew's Cross.

Such a personnel arrangement made it clear to everyone what the queen's diplomatic strategy was like.

No one knew what the Marquis of Dashun had privately discussed with the Empress when he came to Petersburg to help with the coup.But it is certain that Dashun does not seem to care much about their French allies, at least they will not have conflicts with Russia for their French allies.

then.

It's a matter of course.

Or maybe it was the news that the British ambassador deliberately leaked.

The whole of Petersburg, or rather, the entire European diplomatic circles and European courts, knew the news.

When both sides in the War of the Austrian Succession were unable to fight.

After the Dutch financial industry was collapsed by Dashun.

After France won a big victory in the Austrian Netherlands.

The Russian Empire, and the Kingdom of Great Britain, signed the "British-Russian Mutual Defense Treaty" and "British-Russian Subsidy Secret Treaty".

The two were clearly "secret contracts", but they were known to the world on the day they were signed.

Britain provided money and guns, Russia provided two-legged cattle, [-] infantry, [-] Cossacks, and [-] Turghut cavalry were about to march to the Rhine River.
