Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

The bells of the Palace of Westminster rang, the bells of the Capitol Building rang, the bells of all the churches in London rang, Christmas of 1869 finally arrived, and London sank into a sea of joy.

Three days ago, at the British Parliament Mansion, Gladstone officially signed the letter of credence and organized a grand ceremony. Under the applause of countless Congressman, the Head of State of the Chinese race dressed fully and attended the meeting. Both parties exchanged letters of credence and made friendly statements.

In Xiao Letian's speech, he praised the Queen's wisdom and the enlightened British Parliament, and expressed his envy for the prosperous British Empire.

In the end, Xiao Letian even declared that the Chinese would always protect the interests of the British capital in East Asia, and that the Chinese would always be open to the British businessman.

This was one of the rare open-minded voices in Asia. When the merchants heard that they could obtain the rights to freedom and business in Asia without using war, they stood up and clapped excitedly. They felt that swapping with Gladstone after throwing Benjamin away was a wise choice.

's fanatical colonialism could not be said to be without a market, but the prerequisite was that not too many people could die and not too much investment would be made.

In the eyes of the merchants of this country, if the British army could spend a small amount of money and kill less people to expand their colonies, bringing about countless commercial benefits, then these merchants would naturally support Benjamin these colonists.

But now that the world was more or less divided, where was the colonial expansion that had little investment, quick results, and few dead people?

The investment for each war was increasing, and so were the casualties. However, the colonial resistance became more and more ferocious, and many commercial activities could not continue.

This was a transaction that cost money. Under this background, it was natural for the business and financial circles in Britain to choose Gladstone over Benjamin.

Not to mention whether Xiao Letian was someone who kept his promises, at least in this era, a statesman from the sealed Asia had actually chosen to take the initiative and integrate with the civilized world, and had taken the initiative to open up their own country and conduct business around the world.

This trend is to be congratulated for expanding the business market without war, which is a shot in the arm for the entire British economy.

After the exchange of letters, the next day, the Queen praised the Eastern Führer in her New Year's speech. Most likely, these words were meant for the Tongzhi Emperor.

Xiao Letian and Gladstone had suddenly become peaceful politicians who expanded their civilization. Everyone had completely forgotten that at the beginning of the year, he had even opened his mouth wide to eat the far east of Sha Russia.

At that time, all the public opinion in Britain said that he was an ambitious warlord, but a year later, he became a civil emissary recognized by the western mainstream, a model of peace.

He could believe that if this era also had the Nuo Beier Peace Prize, Xiao Letian would definitely be able to get something out of this.

The good news before Christmas was far more than that. On Christmas Eve, Gladstone broke the news that the prime minister's envoy to Ireland had made contact with the top brass of the Irish Youth Party.

On Christmas Day, both sides agreed to a ceasefire. The war that lasted for several months miraculously ended!

This was a breakthrough that no one had ever experienced before. Facing the domination of Ireland's Great Britain, any rebellion was a massacre, and the Catholics of Ireland would never be indulged by even a little bit.

During the cruellest years of their rule, the Irish could not even raise horses, own their own land, or receive an education. Britain's aim was to overwhelm the population of the Irish Catholics for hundreds of years.

This kind of thinking would naturally lead to endless uprisings. He knew that this year, when no one could believe it, Dublin's uprising had shaken the entire Europe.

This was the largest riot among the Irish in a hundred years. Not only did it set fire to the customs but it also attacked the Dublin Castle. Even three shore defense cannons were captured and three of the Royal Navy's battleships were wounded.

The tragic result of the battle caused Benjamin's governance foundation to completely collapse. The people's hearts swelled like a tide as they retreated, and all the face of the British citizens was lost.

Reflection, the British Isles as a whole under a premeditated trend of thought, began to reflect. Everyone is wondering whether the UK's policy towards Ireland is too harsh, and whether this harsh pressure will ultimately solve the problem once and for all.

The answer was obviously no. From the era of Ke Lunweier until now, the British pressure on the Irish people could be said to be extremely cruel. However, the pressure did not make the Irish people yield.

The continued uprisings, repression, and bloodshed made the British miserable, and Gladstone, sensing the slight revulsion in the hearts of the people at the prospect of four or five hundred years of repression, made a decisive decision.

The prime minister secretly sent envoys to contact the top ranks of the Irish Youth Party, and with the help of some unknown forces, the two sides finally achieved a ceasefire before Christmas.

European public opinion was in an uproar. Ever since the uprising in the Dublin, the Irishmen had changed their wrong ways of attacking cities and cities. Instead, they had snatched away countless Arms and ammunition s and hid amongst the citizens like mercury flowing down the ground.

The British could not find the main force of the Rebellion at all. These small troops, which were separated into 10 people or so, began to harass the British rule.

The tax authorities, the police, the town offices, the residences of the English, and even the private estates of the great British landlords were attacked.

From south to north, from east to west, the Irish Shabaab gave up the old way of occupying land and establishing power, all of them turning into bandits.

Tens of thousands of their troops were running for their lives on Ireland. Usually, only after a long journey of thousands of people over a dozen kilometers would they finally be able to kill over a dozen Rebellion s.

Over the past few months, the British Army had lost three rounds of weight, and the morale of the troops had reached the lowest point.

The army was suffering, the people were suffering, even the politicians in London were suffering, because they had to face the pressure of the entire nation and the mockery of foreign diplomats.

Having had enough of the chaos in Ireland, Gladstone's reform was no doubt a cure for relief.

The political winds had quietly shifted, and all the British newspapers had announced the good news on Christmas Eve. The Irish ceasefire had broken, and the Prime Minister's peace policy had made a major breakthrough.

With the exception of a small group of hardcore colonists, everyone else was full of praise. Gladstone's prestige soared to the top. This prime minister, who had risen to the top through conspiracy, had actually won a higher opinion than the elected prime minister.
