Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

C1787 Missed Telegraph

The scenery of the Residence of Crown Prince was naturally quite unique. Although it couldn't compare to the grandeur of the Forbidden City, it surpassed the small view. Moreover, it really took a lot of effort for this house to be rebuilt in the past.

Li Lianying walked around the study room while casually pacing, a young eunuch from the palace accompanied him to speak. Occasionally, there would be an angry Russian roar coming from behind the fake mountain, and they all knew that this negotiation would be extremely difficult.

After half an hour had passed, the sound of a large door opening could be heard from the direction of the study. The sound of footsteps became disarrayed, and the eunuchs and maids hurriedly rushed forward to defend themselves.

Obviously, Li Lianying recognized Sha Ao, but she did not expect that after not seeing this golden-haired and azure-eyed old setae for a few months, she had a face full of age, as if all of her vitality had been sucked out of him.

After bowing to Prince Kung, he brought his followers and left. According to normal circumstances, they would send him off to the second door first, but today, General Gui Six stood on the steps and waved his hands casually, treating it as sending him off.

Looking at Ulangeli's lonely back, Li Lianying vented out her anger and worry. How much we wish that our Great Qing has defeated all these Russian s! "

Just as Li Lianying wanted to go up and pay her respects, she did not expect Yi Nan to suddenly explode with emotions. She turned her head and fiercely slapped the officer beside him.

"Bastard!" How do you do it? Why didn't you report such a big matter earlier! Get out, get out of Head Office... Men, get him out of here! "

Li Lianying trembled in fear. She saw the terrified official being dragged out, and when she turned around, she saw the Duke looking at him. She quickly ran over and kneeled on the ground and kowtowed, "My respects to the Prince. The empress dowager summoned a servant to invite the prince into the palace.

"Ai …" Old Li, why are you kowtowing? Let's not talk about this, hurry up and get up … "

Once he entered the study, Li Lianying was almost pushed out by the smoke, thinking that he had drawn countless of foreign cigars, causing him to be unable to even see his fingers in the room.

The eunuchs hurriedly opened the windows to let the air out, while the palace maid stood in the corner and fanned the air in the study. The wealth of the ancient people was basically piled up by human resources, but actually, enjoyment couldn't compare to the benefits brought by science and technology.

Li Lianying didn't have time to drink tea and quickly laughed, "My prince, the empress dowager has been in a really bad mood these past few days. As soon as the news of Xiang Shaolong establishing a country in the Haishenwai arrived, the Old Buddha strangled his beloved eighth brother, smashing the house into pieces … "I implore Your Highness to pity this servant. Go to the palace and persuade the empress dowager. Right now, your words are all right!"

Yi Yuan did not directly answer, he only held the teacup with one hand and closed his eyes, thinking for a moment and asked: "Where is Empress Dowager of the East? Why didn't Empress Dowager of the East discuss it with you? "

"Hey …" What can we come up with? We went back to the Jingshan from the east. Although we said that it was due to a few days of bad health due to the cold, actually … "

Li Lianying could not say that Fu Qing had just come back from Tianjin, right? He could not say that his sister-in-law had stolen some men, right?

Yi Xiao laughed but did not say anything, Li Lianying was in a hurry again, "My prince, at this time, why are you still resting with your eyes closed? Listening to the conversations on the streets of Beijing, the eight flags were all shocked. The Old Ancestor's territory was seized by the Han Chinese, and now everyone is panicking, they are going crazy … "

"I say, Old Li …" Do you know why I slapped that subordinate just now? " Yi Nan suddenly asked, causing Li Lianying to be stunned, thinking: How would I know why you are hitting me?

"Because that kid didn't know the seriousness of the situation and actually placed an important piece of information at the very end for me to see …" Just a moment ago, Ulangeli was shouting at me, I don't even know why … "

"I never thought that this Xiao Letian would be so ruthless. He actually buried Molière alive … to turn the Frenchman into a kneeling statue! "

"Hiss …" Li Lianying sucked in a breath of cold air, "Is this Molière the large nose that you mentioned before? Heavens, this kind of person was buried alive by Xiao Letian? "The French shouldn't go crazy …"

"More or less, I think that the Minister of France will come and look for me today as well. That's why I won't be entering the palace today …"

"Don't! Prince, you can't not enter the palace. What about the empress dowager? "It's getting more and more infuriated …"

"Are you stupid? The key to breaking the trap is here, once Molière dies, some things will be easy to handle!"

At first, the Great Qing rejected telegraphic technique s, but in fact, not only the telegraphic technique s, but also the Western new technology.

However, Xiao Letian's appearance had forcefully suppressed the changes in the Manchu. Fu Qing, who was later honored as the one who had contributed the most to the development of the telegraphic technique, had actually borrowed Xiao Letian's strength to successfully build the telegraph network that covered the entire Qing Dynasty.

At the moment, the Great Qing's telegraph message connected the north and south from the Shengjing to Shanghai and Guangzhou. The Western telegraph line had arrived in Xi'an and was slowly advancing towards Lanzhou.

There was even a telegraph line heading towards Heavenly Province, and all of these were under the responsibility of the Qing San Ye's department. It was precisely because the team Fu Qing led was one of the few practical ones within the Manchu, that the speed at which the telegraph network was being built was extremely fast.

Nowadays, the county towns that had received telegrams had abandoned their old business of hasty delivery and instead decided to report their affairs to the Imperial Court by telegraph.

Add to that the fact that the Chinese telegraph company was constantly laying submarine cables in the sea, and now the imperial court could telegraph directly with North Korea, Japan, the Ryukyu and even the Southern Ocean, and even send a report to Europe.

The telegraph network was growing larger and larger, and the number of messages that the Head Office received every day was also increasing. It was impossible for them to be intimate with each other and handle hundreds and thousands of telegrams every day.

In the end, the only thing they could do was to draw lessons from the way the Military Intelligence Service handled government affairs. Subordinate officials would classify the telegrams and give priority to their superiors for them to read, generally speaking, it was the most urgent classification, while the remaining would depend on whether there was still time and selectively review.

This was the problem. Ryukyu giving in, Sha Russia surrendering, Far Eastern Kingdom being established — these were all the most urgent intelligence, but to kill a French prisoner, even if he was a knight, could not be considered as an emergency.

The unlucky branch officials had actually placed the news of Molière being buried alive into the general category, which resulted in the previous joke.

Prince Kung actually heard this news from Ulangeli's mouth.

"Old Li, when the time comes, tell the empress dowager so!" The key to breaking the trap lies with the Frenchman. Xiao Letian had taken a step forward with his smelly chess piece, he is courting death! "

"Don't look at how happy he is right now. He will definitely get the list in the future! If we kill Molière, France would have no way out, let's just watch the fight from the sidelines! "
