Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Wang Shang just held up the washbasin for cleaning his hands and face, lowered his head and did not speak.

Guan Xuqing sighed, stepped forward to wash up, then waved his hand and said: "You go and call Li Dehai over, I don't need you to serve me in the morning, you go to the cabin and have a good sleep. In addition, ask the imperial doctor to prescribe side medicine for you, send Once you sweat, you have been blown by the wind all night, so be careful to get sweating."

Sighing, he stepped forward to wash up, then waved his hand and said, "Go and ask Sun Dehai to come over, I don't need you to serve me in the morning, you can go to the cabin and have a good sleep. In addition, ask the imperial doctor to prescribe side medicine for you, send a Sweat, you've been blown by the wind all night, be careful of sweating."

Guan Xuqing walked to the deck, and the soldiers on the ship who were about to get up before the fourth watch had finished their morning training. Seeing Guan Xuqing standing upright one by one, Guan Xuqing waved them to continue doing their own things, and then found two The soldiers on guard began to chat, these days he has become very familiar with the sailors on the "Zhenyuan" ship.

Seeing the booming economy in the southeast coast, Guan Xuqing suddenly sprouted a dream of dominating the world at this moment.The neighbor to the east, Japan, has also developed rapidly in recent years. If it weren't for the rapid development of the Qing Dynasty in the past few years, it would be really hard to imagine that the Yamato clan would really repeat history, invade China again, and ravage our Chinese children.

But all of this is impossible to happen. Maybe one day in the future, the Qing Dynasty will trample on the Japanese land.Thinking of this, Guan Xuqing smiled and looked at the rough sea.It seems that one day in the future, the Sino-Japanese naval battle and the large-scale naval battle with the fleets of various countries in order to compete for the Pacific Ocean may be seen. Perhaps in history, the situation where the Qing Dynasty declared war on eight countries at the same time will be repeated in this time and space in the future, but absolutely not There will be another shameful scene of the Eight-Power Allied Forces entering Beijing.

A fiery red sun rose above the sea in the east, and the golden sunlight made Guan Xuqing bright red.Like a phoenix reborn from the ashes standing on the deck, anyone who sees it has an impulse to worship.

Competing in East Asia Chapter 1: Trends in Southeast Asia

Guan Xuqing walked to a soldier standing guard, and picked up his rifle with great interest.Although the industrial strength of the Qing Dynasty has developed considerably in recent years compared to history, the domestic arms production capacity is still very limited, especially the restrictions caused by the production of steel. Because of the explosive development of the Industrial Revolution, places that need steel There are so many that the steel required for the military industry has been very tight.Therefore, in terms of firearms, the main priority is to change the army. However, as the flagship of the Beiyang Fleet, "Zhenyuan" was the flagship of the Beiyang Fleet. This time, Guan Xuqing visited the German ship. A batch of the latest Hanyang Type I rifles, this kind of rifles developed by the Hubei Gun Factory, is the most famous rifle in the modern history of China.

这型步枪是中国自行设计制造的第一种后膛装无烟火药连发步枪。主要生产者为位于武汉汉阳之汉阳兵工厂，因此一般称之为汉阳造。抗战时其步枪厂於1938年交与21厂，因此从1939年至1944年生产的汉阳造在枪匣上印有字厂徽及汉式字样。一直到1944年21厂改造中正式步枪，这种步枪在中国前后生产了将近50年。

In this time and space, due to the butterfly effect set off by Guan Xuqing, Zhang Zhidong became the governor of Huguang a few years earlier, and with the development of domestic industry and commerce and the imperial court's strong support for modern arsenals, the original Hubei Gun Factory developed abnormally. Quickly, the Hanyang Type [-] rifle was developed a few years earlier than in history.Here I have to talk about Zhang Zhidong's credit.

In the 12th year of Guangxu (1886), the war between China, Britain and Burma was in full swing.Zhang Zhidong saw that the guns made by various domestic manufacturing bureaus were old-fashioned, and it was not suitable to imitate British Nanxia guns. At that time, the big powers were afraid of offending Britain.There are great restrictions on exporting weapons to China.After Zhang Zhidong carefully studied and asked Chinese and foreign craftsmen.It is "ordered to focus on imitation of the Manlicher and the new Mauser." Manlicher refers to the M1888 Steyr Manlicher rifle of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. This type of gun is an important rifle in the history of Austrian light weapons.Its main advantage is that the overall structure is simple, light in weight, reliable in action, easy to use, and capable of firing a variety of bullets.certainly.Many problems have been found during use, and there are two main problems: one is that it is difficult to extract the shell; the other is that the bolt is easy to move by itself.This is because the "wedge latch body" locking mechanism is a point locking mechanism, and when the chamber pressure is high, it is prone to incomplete locking.However, at the time, the overall performance of this rifle was top-notch.

The new Mauser Zhang Zhidong referred to the Mauser 1884 rifle at the time, but it was changed to the Mauser 1888 rifle during the development process.This type of rifle and the Mauser 1884 rifle are also improved on the basis of the Mauser 1871 rifle.It was not developed by Mauser, but by the German Military Council.Therefore, it is also known as the "Committee Rifle". This caliber is 7.92 mm.A rifle that fires smokeless gunpowder bullets, has a single row of vertical box magazines, and has a capacity of 5 rounds. It is the first modern rifle in the true sense.Because there is a sleeve outside the barrel, it is commonly known as the "old sleeve".In history, China has imitated a large number of guns. Together with Hanyang-made and Zhongguan rifles, it is also known as the three famous guns in modern China.

The above two guns have been produced in large quantities and have been replaced by various rifles such as Mauser, Li Yi, Manlicha, Sharp, Martini, and Three Years equipped by the armies of the Qing Dynasty.

At this time, the fog on the sea is gradually dissipating with the rising sun in the east. Seabirds flapping their wings can be seen flying lightly everywhere on the calm sea, but most of them are fishing boats going out to sea in the early morning.Since only a few rivers such as the Nanliu River and the Red River flow into it, there are not many rivers along the coast, and less sediment is brought into the bay.The difference between winter and summer surface water temperature is less than 10°C.Therefore, Beibu Gulf is home to a large number of warm-water species, and it is an excellent fishing ground for catching scarlet carp, red snapper, golden thread fish, and blue round fish.

After sailing through the Gulf of Tonkin, the warship arrived in Siam (Thailand), which was occupied by Germany.During the Sino-French war, in exchange for Germany's support.China unilaterally sold suzerainty to Germany, causing Germany to invade Thailand.Therefore, the relationship between Thailand and the Qing government is very sinister.

In fact, at that time, Thailand and China were not the suzerain-vassal relationship as understood by Europeans, but belonged to the loose tributary relationship in ancient China, but because China often gave more rewards every time it paid tribute, so the neighboring small countries Happy to maintain this relationship.But does it all matter?The Germans just need a face that neither offends the British.It can also be an excuse to intervene in the Indochina Peninsula. As for the relationship between China and Thailand, will anyone really study it carefully?Perhaps only angry Thais would want to justify this.

In short, Thailand's hostility to the Qing Dynasty is beyond doubt.But now Guan Xuqing can't deal with Thailand. Firstly, various domestic reforms are in the ascendant, which requires a peaceful and stable development environment;The two sides are about to have another battle of national destiny according to the historical track, before solving it.It is inappropriate to establish new enemies in the south; thirdly, Germany is deeply trapped in the tropical rainforest of the Indochina Peninsula, which is beneficial and harmless to China. In the Far East, Germany can only rely on China. China's support, while India and Malay have always been regarded as the key points by the British, and Germany is fighting lively under their noses, which will definitely distract the British from China.Therefore, not only could Guan Xuqing not take advantage of the fire to rob, but he wanted to help Thailand secretly. The reason why Thailand was able to continuously obtain arms under the strict blockade of the Germans was due to Guan Xuqing's secret arrangements. Those who were eliminated by the new army The old foreign guns that came down came in handy at this time.Although the money you get is not a lot, it's better than throwing it in the warehouse to rust away!

The thing about politics is that sometimes you have to help your enemies.So in the short term, we can only let our ally Germany suffer in Thailand first.After Guan Xuqing has dealt with Little Japan, he will teach the mad dog Thailand a good lesson in the future. The British minions such as Malaysia and Singapore will also be pulled out together, completely daring Britain out of the Far East.In this case, the entire Southeast Asia will be under the control of the Qing Dynasty.

The biggest obstacle today is Japan. In terms of the navy, not only are there four large battleships "Yamato", "Musashi", "Katsuragi" and "Kyushu" that exceed 113 tons, they are about to be incorporated into the sequence. ” fast armored cruiser, this armor is 23mm thick, and it can easily run out of [-] knots. It combines the advantages of dome armored cruisers and iron armored cruisers. It is the world's fastest ship at this time. It used to be the nightmare of the Beiyang Navy.In addition, there are three protective dome cruisers, Matsushima, Itsukushima, and Hashidate, which were built with the help of France, and the Akitsusu, Yaeyama, and Takao built by Japan.

Each of the "Sanjing Ships" is equipped with a 320mm cannon, which theoretically can easily penetrate the indestructible iron-clad fortress of the "Dingyuan"-class iron-clad ships.Although the giant cannons equipped by the "Sanjing Ship" in history died down after only a few shots due to the small shooting range and mechanical failures, they were not useful at all, but they still have the "fixed sinking" effect in theory. The possibility of "far away", history has changed, and only God knows what will happen when the Sino-Japanese war comes.

The total tonnage of the Japanese Navy has surpassed that of China in recent years.Due to the butterfly effect brought about by Guan Xuqing, Britain and France, which had been neutral before the Sino-Japanese War, fell to Japan in advance.It also makes Japan much stronger than in history. The British have never been used to fighting the enemy in person, but buying lackeys and killing people with knives is definitely his strong point.In Japan in this era, their population is the sum of Germany and France, and they have the most tenacious and outstanding soldiers trained by the spirit of Bushido. What they lack is money and weapons.The Japanese government almost used up the last copper plate left in the pockets of their citizens to develop their military power crazily.

But now that all these have been resolved, Britain and Japan have contributed money and guns, and the other has contributed their efforts. In order to deal with China in East Asia, the two hit it off.

For nearly 2000 years, Japan has been struggling under the heavy pressure of the old empire. After the Meiji Restoration, Japan was awakened first, and domestic talents gathered. Tens of millions of people worked together to create an empire that will last forever. .At this time, the old empire seemed to be awakening.This ancient and huge giant, after opening his eyes, seemed to just shake his body, and made the top three powers in the world look ashamed. How could this prevent many Japanese who had been keeping their eyes on this ancient country The nation is terrified and frustrated.Even the Japanese Army Headquarters, which has always been aggressively carrying out the great cause of "conquest of Korea", lost its voice for a while.

Even so, nearly a hundred outstanding secret agents from Japan's "Chrysanthemum" agency have entered the southeast coast of the Qing Dynasty, Vietnam, Vietnam, Tianjin and other places to collect intelligence.In this regard, the Qing Dynasty is obviously behind Japan.But fortunately, he was studying in Germany, and the originator of the secret agent that Guan Xuqing kissed was about to return to China.At that time, there will inevitably be an intelligence war between the two countries, a war between secret agents.Think about the vast territory of the Qing Dynasty, Japanese spies certainly cannot cover all of it, and the elites of the Qing Dynasty, a small island country in Japan, will surely be able to grasp Japan's every move more clearly than the spy satellites of later generations.

Chapters 1 and [-] of East Asia's Great War Fortune

On the contrary, Ito Hirobumi, who has always been known for his steady governance, proposed a mutiny plan in North Korea, but it failed to succeed despite the rapid response of the Qing Dynasty.But in front of Britain and France, it showed the strength and determination of Japan to fight against the Qing Dynasty.

He also clearly knows that Britain and France's support for Japan is not completely unconditional.Even now, Britain and France do not believe that Japan has the strength to defeat the Qing Dynasty. In their view, the awakened Qing Dynasty is the lion in Napoleon's mouth, just like the polar bear to the north.What Britain and France hoped more was that Japan would form a confrontation with Russia and the Qing Dynasty in East Asia, so that they would not have the energy to expand in Central Asia and Southeast Asia, rather than a real battle with Russia and the Qing Dynasty.

But Japan must defeat the Qing Dynasty in the war to get North Korea, where there is land, grain, coal and iron ore needed by the empire, and only by defeating the Qing Dynasty can it gain the respect of Britain and France, and thus get more assistance from them.

The sea water of the Indian Ocean is blue in color, and the sky is blue, compared to the color of the sea water.Even more pure.A fleet painted black was moving on the sea, and the core of this fleet was the ironclad ship "Zhenyuan" flying the flag of the five-clawed golden dragon.The five-clawed golden dragon symbolizes the identity of the emperor.

Behind the "Zhenyuan" is his sister ship "Dingyuan" of the same type. The members of the fleet also include the two heavy armored cruisers "Chengfeng" and "Breaking the Waves". They are distributed on both sides of the "Dingyuan" ship side by side.Compared with the four major ironclad ships Ding, Zhen, Ji, and Wei, the main force of the Beiyang Navy, these two warships are newer and faster.These four warships were drawn from the Beiyang Fleet for this trip to Europe.The other ships sailed to Burma after protecting Fanghuai through the Strait of Malacca, and then turned back to their respective military ports.After all, ocean voyages are costly, and China does not have colonial supply points along the way. The larger the fleet, the greater the burden of logistical supplies.Now the domestic financial difficulties.Use sparingly if you can.It is also a long distance to sail from the eastern coast to Myanmar, passing through the South China Sea with complicated sea conditions in the middle.Malacca, where the British are heavily guarded, and the Bay of Bengal, where hurricanes form for a long time, are enough exercise for the young navy in the North and South Oceans.

However, ocean voyages are rare after all, and it is still a chance to visit foreign countries with the emperor. This kind of high-spirited opportunity has caused the various ship management teams of the Beiyang Fleet to fight each other. As the saying goes, whoever is elected In fact, it doesn't mean that he is superior among the crowd. If he can still leave a good impression on the emperor, he will not be promoted smoothly in the future.Therefore, in order to compete for the visit quota, the Nanyang Fleet held a simulated military confrontation at sea. Although the Nanyang Fleet captured two [-]-ton ironclad ships from the United Kingdom, due to unfamiliar performance and poor cooperation, they finally entered the " Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves were defeated by the two fast cruisers.So the four warships that visited Germany with Guan Xuqing this time are all from the Beiyang Fleet.They are "Zhenyuan" conducted by Deng Shichang, "Zhenyuan" conducted by Lin Tai, "Chengfeng" conducted by Lin Fan, and "Break the Waves" conducted by Xu Shoushan.These four are the oldest in the Beiyang Navy, and their prestige can convince the crowd, so they have nothing to say.

After leaving the capital for more than half an hour, Guan Xuqing's fleet finally bypassed the Strait of Malacca and arrived in Myanmar.At this time, the Zongli Yamen finally announced through the "Daqing Daily" that Guan Xuqing had left Beijing to take a southern tour by boat, and claimed that after Guan Xuqing toured the provinces, he would go to Germany for a state visit at the invitation of Emperor Wilhelm II of the German Empire.

His first stop will be Wilhelmshaven, Germany, where he will visit the German North Sea Fleet and the Wilhelmshaven Naval Shipyard in Germany, discuss the cooperation between the Chinese and German navies, and meet and condolence army officers studying in Germany there.On the second stop, he will come to Berlin, the capital of Germany, to meet Kaiser Wilhelm II and Prime Minister Bismarck.The meeting will discuss the issue of cooperation between the two countries in the Pacific region and the issue of handling friendly and cooperative relations among Germany, Russia, and China.They also exchanged views and reached a consensus on what attitude should be adopted to deal with the relations among the three world powers.After the state visit to Germany, the economic delegation composed of representatives from Shanxi merchants, Huizhou merchants, Zhejiang merchants, Guangdong merchants, and Lake merchants continued the talks on Sino-German economic cooperation under the leadership of Minister Li Zhen Outside—it is nothing more than some matters of absorbing German capital and carrying out domestic construction.After Guan Xuqing visited the Vulcan Shipyard where "Dingyuan" and "Zhenyuan" were built, he will set off from there and return to Beijing.

When people from all walks of life in the mainland got the news, they collectively lost their voices, as if they were stunned by the emperor's visit, which had never happened since the Three Emperors and Five Emperors.When they thought about it, the emperor should sit in the Forbidden City and correct the memorials in a peaceful and stable manner.The reception of officials, big and small, is about "planning strategies and decisively winning thousands of miles away." Such things like going to other countries to take risks in person should be done by subordinate officials.For this reason, some people think of the story that King Ping of Chu was detained as a texture.Some rotten Confucians among the people read the newspaper, and all shook their heads and sighed: "It's an insult to the state system!".In their view, since ancient times, only the kings of small countries went to other countries to pay tribute and seek asylum. Guan Xuqing's move really disgraced the Qing Dynasty.but.After nearly ten years of civilized education and the Qing Daily’s endless introductions to the world’s customs and customs, the domestic atmosphere has become more open, and new things have emerged around, such as trains, ships, telegraphs, electric lights, etc. have been popularized among the people. Many people know that the Qing Dynasty is facing "great changes unseen in a thousand years", and its ability to accept new affairs is much stronger.After the surprise, the country was full of excitement.From the extreme arrogance before the two Opium Wars to the extreme inferiority after the two Opium Wars.The people of the Qing Dynasty experienced a process of psychological changes with great gaps.The Sino-British and Sino-French wars made the domestic people regain their confidence a little bit.But many people are still afraid of foreign powers.Today, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty has actually been invited by the German emperor.This undoubtedly means that the emperor of Germany regards our emperor of the Qing Dynasty as equal to them, especially since Germany is still the leading power in Europe, and has defeated the invincible French successively.How can such news not cheer up the domestic people, as if invited by Germany, the Qing Dynasty is a world-class power.

As for the comments in foreign newspapers, including small countries like the Netherlands and Portugal, although they tried to use the most polite tone.But the contempt for China behind it.It is believed that this is the young emperor of the ancient empire in the Far East who wanted to participate in the international power struggle.Many newspapers in Britain and France even predicted early: "...the young Chinese emperor will return empty-handed, because this is not the Far East under his rule, it has its own rules, and no European will listen to him... ..."

But the Germans don't think so. Britain deployed the "George V" and "Hood" in the Pacific Squadron, when these new battleships appeared majestically on the Pacific Ocean.Brent Haisim found that none of his warships could overwhelm them!The Saxony-class ironclad ships that once made the Germans proud were now useless waste and cumbersome in the fleet composed of former dreadnought battleships.The first batch of dreadnoughts designed by Germany have just been pushed onto the berth, and it will take at least two years to complete them.During this time, Brent Haisim was worried that even the Japanese fleet was capable of destroying his seemingly powerful expeditionary fleet.Once the British blocked Malacca or the coast of the Gulf of Siam, it was unlikely that the expeditionary fleet would continue to deliver supplies to the tens of thousands of German expeditionary forces in Thailand.

Fortunately, there is China as an ally in Asia. This traditional power is struggling to rise.They even beat the French and British armies!They can give powerful support to the expeditionary force. Brent wrote to his "influential" friends in China: "...Thank God! When the expeditionary force was in the most difficult time, the emperor of China finally agreed to His Majesty We should show the utmost sincerity to welcome this oriental visitor. Even if we do not look down on them in our hearts, we should let them know that we value them and that the relationship between the two parties is friendly and reliable. ……… Hearing that they want to join our alliance with Austria, Italy, I don’t understand why they don’t agree to it immediately, and it’s better to convince them to send troops to Thailand to help us. My fleet only has two Saxons, while the Chinese have Four Saxon improvements, and two more powerful armored cruisers. And their army is more trustworthy than their navy. I have visited their ordinary camps in Burma, and their combat effectiveness is not as high as our B infantry division Underneath, the equipment and firepower are very complete, and it is said that they are also proficient in jungle warfare. You must know that our heroic soldiers are now stuck in the mud pit of the tropical rainforest, fighting against mosquitoes, poisonous snakes, diseases, and high temperature and high humidity every day , We must always guard against the cold guns that the Thais came out of nowhere. Soldiers continued to bleed to death, while the Thais seemed to disappear in the jungle, which gave us very little gain.We need the help of the Chinese, not just food, medicine and coal, I believe only these Chinese with the same yellow skin and black eyes can catch the Siamese in the jungle.If not, I remain pessimistic about the outcome of this war. The expeditionary force, though a giant, cannot stand constant bloodshed.We can either convince the Chinese to join the war, or give us two Brandenburgs and two fully equipped and fully supplied Class A field divisions, or send someone more capable to replace me..."

On the "Saxon" sending off Guan Xuqing and the others, white smoke flashed from the muzzle of the [-]-inch secondary main gun, and a salute began to be fired rumblingly.The German sailors of several warships were already standing on the side of the ship, performing neat military salutes, and the officers were all wearing summer military uniforms with golden buckle round collars and black top and white bottom in the Kaiser era.Immediately afterwards, the signal flag was raised on the "Saxon", "Salute to His Majesty the Great Qing Emperor" and "Wish you a smooth future".

When Deng Shichang saw the banner, he could hardly bear the excitement in his heart, and explained loudly to Guan Xuqing, but the representatives of wealthy businessmen behind him and the officials who accompanied Guan Xuqing on the visit couldn't help but blushed. Since the Opium War, when did the Qing Dynasty receive foreigners like this? High standard treatment.

The warship gradually sailed away, and looking back, you can see the land and jungle of Thailand, as well as the dazzling white sandy beach!The waves beat on the beach layer by layer. The more difficulties the Germans encounter here, the stronger the Sino-German relationship will be.In the previous two wars between China, France and Britain, Germany received a large number of orders from the Qing Dynasty, and now it is time for the Qing Dynasty to pluck two hairs from Germany.Germany's tents, medicines, ammunition, dry food, etc. in Thailand were all shipped from Qing Dynasty. If they were shipped from Germany, the freight would be much more expensive than buying directly from Qing Dynasty.

Competing in East Asia 1 Chapter [-] Picking up in different places

After dozens of days of rough seas, Guan Xuqing's fleet finally saw the coastline of Germany.Along the way, they can say with trepidation that in India, in Oman, in Djibouti, in Suez, in Malta, in Gibraltar, in the English Channel, the British Fleet with the "Rice" flag is stationed everywhere, newborn calves The officers and soldiers of the Chinese navy once again experienced the strength of the world's number one navy.

The "bipolar principle" proposed by the British (that is, the British navy must have the strength to defeat the world's second and third navies at the same time) is by no means just talk.Although during the second industrial revolution, the development speed of the United Kingdom lagged behind emerging capitalist powers such as the United States and Germany, the empire on which the sun never sets has dominated the world for more than 300 years, and accumulated countless wealth through colonial plunder and product dumping. Wealth even extended to World War II.When Germany launched the "Sea Lion Project" to bombard the British mainland, few factories in the UK could work normally, and a large amount of food, arms, and medicines needed to be imported from foreign countries. What the UK did was to open the treasury and put it into boxes. The gold sent to foreign countries, and more than half of these imported goods were buried under the wolves of German submarines.But even so, it failed to empty the British treasury.After the war, the pound remained the strongest currency in the world.This shows how rich and powerful the John Bulls are.

In this era, the confrontation between Britain and Russia, which is in a period of rapid rise, is undoubtedly the main theme of the world.in this case.Allowing Germany and Russia to compromise with each other and sign a border security treaty will undoubtedly put Germany on the opposite side of Britain politically.Although William II has gradually controlled the country, Bismarck still has a huge influence on Germany. Before he stepped down, he insisted on excluding Britain from European politics and insisted that Germany lead Europe. The foreign policy will not change. To put it simply, Germany must first establish its hegemony in Europe other than the United Kingdom, and then use the strength of the whole of Europe to compete with Britain for hegemony in the world.

This kind of foreign policy is implemented concretely.It is to avoid Britain's superiority in the navy, compromise with Britain in the struggle for world colonies, and use Germany's world's largest army to concentrate on establishing Germany's absolute advantage in the European continent.Then use this advantage to influence and restrain other European powers, such as the obedient ones, such as Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and sign an alliance; those who are disobedient, such as France, will completely isolate it and finally defeat it.

It may take a long time for this plan to be implemented, and this time may be decades.Even hundreds of years, but if the Germans really follow Bismarck's plan, in a few decades, unless Britain is lucky enough to win another Trafalgar naval battle-like victory, it may be inevitable to hand over the throne of world hegemony.

But if the world situation develops like this, it will undoubtedly be quite unfavorable for China, and it can only take advantage of the fierce conflicts among the great powers.Only China can benefit from it.Developed from the cracks.Moreover, Germany compromised with Britain.Confining its eyes to Europe will inevitably lead to China losing its protective umbrella above its head.In order to face the huge pressure of British colonialism, such a result will make China's development difficult.

At this time, although Wilhelm II, the ruler above the name of the Second German Empire, had great ambitions, he was still living under the huge shadow of Bismarck. Moreover, he was influenced by his mother Princess Victoria since childhood, and he has always had this kind of ambition. The powerful and invincible reflection of the empire on which the sun never sets, even after assuming the throne, he has repeatedly stated in public that he cannot imagine the result of Germany standing on the opposite side of Britain.

Under such circumstances, the result of this trip to Germany is really worrying.

The four steel giants of Zhenyuan, Dingyuan, Chengfeng, and Breaking Waves are moving slowly in a formation, and the pilot lighthouse of Wilhelmshaven, Germany, can already be seen in front of it, flashing and flashing in the early morning fog of the North Sea, guiding the direction of the fleet .

Reporters from major German media on the shore, Chinese students studying abroad, and officers from the Army Academy all waited anxiously.

Reporters from all over Germany were surprised to find that these students of yellow race who were habitually ignored by them seemed to be crowded here.Holding up all kinds of banners, cheering for the fleet from their motherland!They are all wearing neatly pressed school uniforms, including those from the Technical University of Munich, the University of Freiburg, the Humboldt University of Berlin, the University of Konstanz, the University of Heidelberg, and the University of Dresden... Almost all of them are the most famous universities in Germany. These universities, which even German students cannot easily get into, have hordes of Chinese students studying abroad, which is simply unbelievable.Later, some newspapers with ulterior motives specifically investigated the admission pathways and academic performance of these Chinese students.They hoped to find out what they believed to be the "behind the scenes" transactions. It turned out that these Chinese students were far higher than the German students in terms of admission scores and usual test scores. This surprised them, but they had nothing to say .

In the eyes of the professors of various universities, these students are all gifted children. It often takes only a short period of time to master things that others can only understand in a few months or even a few years, but they study hard every day like crazy. Various experiments, libraries and laboratories are the places where they hang out the most, and if you see them in a bar.Then there is no doubt that they must have gone there to work.

Every term, Chinese international students graduate with the best grades, and they also have strong hands-on ability.so.For a long period of time, Chinese students were the most welcome students in various universities, and they even offered various preferential conditions, hoping that they would stay and teach.But without exception, they refused.Instead, they chose to go back to that poor and backward country. You must know that those universities promised to provide them with a full set of housing, a separate laboratory, and an absolutely lucrative salary.These.They all declined.

At this moment, the fleet of the motherland is ushered in in a foreign country.Many German students paid their own money or even asked for leave to come here to welcome the arrival of the fleet of the motherland and the arrival of the little emperor who is called the "holy ancestor".

With tears in his eyes, Guan Xuqing looked at the Chinese students on the shore from the deck.He took off his hat and saluted deeply, which was his deep respect for these students.In history, it was these people who saved the last luck of the Chinese nation, and it was people like them who held up the backbone of the Chinese nation.

When the fleet arrived at the Wilhelmshaven wharf, the welcome ceremony organized by the local mayor and several MPs now feels completely redundant.Because from the moment Guan Xuqing stepped off the boat bridge, he was surrounded by enthusiastic Chinese students.

This time, it is still the Yulin Army formed by Dong Liang who overthrew Cixi 12 years ago and is responsible for the escort duty.Now that they are in their thirties, Guan Xuqing always takes them by his side out of trust in them.At this time, groups of international students rushed towards Guan Xuqing, and were stopped five meters away by more than 200 imperial guards.

A bright yellow military uniform, straight riding boots, a saber with a sharkskin holster pinned to his waist, and a brooch and epaulets with spikes hanging from his chest to his shoulders are shining brightly.Ever since his body had matured, except for court meetings, Guan Xuqing had appeared in this soldier's image almost every time he appeared in front of outsiders, which caused a lot of criticism from the court and China.However, Guan Xuqing, who usually listens to the opinions of ministers, is determined to go his own way in this matter. All the notes on the matter will be kept in the middle. beginning!"
