25. Light and confusion intertwined

When the Korean envoy presented to Emperor Daoguang on the throne the news that Korean students had obtained through the Dutch that the British army was about to launch an army to attack the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Daoguang on the throne could not believe it.

The first thought of this extremely frugal Manchu emperor, who only spent fifty taels of silver on a patch and twenty taels of silver on an egg, was, "Could North Korea have colluded with some British country?"

Fortunately, although Britain is unfamiliar, it came to "pay tribute" twice during the Qianlong and Jiaqing dynasties. Although few people in the court knew what kind of country it was, so much so that Emperor Daoguang actually asked a close official about the British country.

How far is it from Xinjiang (shielded)? But it’s not completely blind. At least I know that because of the long distance, not many of these barbarian foreign soldiers will come.

How come you, North Korea, knew about it earlier than I, the Qing Dynasty? Is there some collusion?

Kim Zhengxi, who was already very old and showing his age, knelt down respectfully and reported back to Emperor Daoguang. Although the Ming Dynasty had been repairing political affairs domestically and reorganizing the army externally for thirty years, but in the Pang Dynasty

However, the Qing Dynasty still seemed so "weak and helpless" next to the giant.

"There are merchants from my country who have sailed to Sulu, Mankara and other places. I heard that the English country has mobilized its troops and will soon come to the big country above. My lord was frightened and uneasy, so he sent his ministers to come at night.

, report to the Holy Emperor."

"King Li is so respectful..." The North Korea in Daoguang's heart was still the North Korea that was beaten twice by the Manchus.

If you want to say that North Korea rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty, then I guess Daoguang might actually believe it. But that North Korea colluded with the British barbarians? That is really impossible. If North Korea could have the nerve to do such a thing, Huang Taiji would not have beaten North Korea twice.

As for King Li in Daoguang's mouth, he is no longer Li? After experiencing the "Ding Mao Coup", this man has completely become a pig raised by Li Xi. He can't even leave the palace gate. Originally, he said he would wait for Hong

The son Miao Yu gave birth to grew older, and after being ennobled by the Qing Dynasty, he was asked to kick his legs.

Later, wasn't it true that Xiao Li was very cooperative, and the cooperative Li Xi was too lazy to change his clothes. Moreover, Xiao Li started to indulge in love and sex, and the palace that Hong Jinglai exchanged for cash was really exchanged, but the money and Li Xi's clothes were gone

I still gave it. But the original 1.2 million taels of silver became 400,000 taels. With no financial power, King Li could only drink and hug the little palace maid in the harem.

Fortunately, he didn't have to reward his clan members and officials anymore. They were all killed by Li Xi, which saved him a lot of money!

She lived for another twenty years before she stretched out her legs and gave birth to five sons, three of whom were born to Hong Miao and the other two were the sons of other concubines. Needless to say, Hong Miao gave birth to the youngest and third son.

He was helped up. The young man's name was Li Min. He was already nineteen years old at this time. He was seen as dead on the throne, just like a puppet made of clay and wood.

Li Xichu was in poor health in the past two years, and Ding Ruoyong happened to pass away, so he lost his mastermind, so he retreated. Everyone in the Hong family's political circles in Fengshan was a small group with common interests, so Li Xichu gave way to

Hong Yongzhou (Zhao Binggui in history) succeeded Hong Jinglai to the family, and Zhao Wanyong naturally agreed unconditionally.

Moreover, Hong Yongzhou had already fathered four sons with Hong Jinglai's daughter, so there was no problem in inheriting the family lineage. They were all Hong Jinglai's biological grandsons. This was one of the reasons why Li Xizhu was willing to give up the throne in advance.

In a sense, it was the first peaceful transfer of power by a "junta", which seemed quite stable and special under the special background of the times. Once this rule is established, there will be a set example for doing things in the future.

After Hong Yongzhou learned about the matter from an overseas student who returned from Jakarta, he naturally reported it immediately. Although North Korea has experienced thirty years of reform and continuous exploration and evolution, North Korea has achieved some results, but after all, the country is small and the people are weak, and most of them Time was spent behind closed doors, and there was no comprehensive exchange between the founding of the country and the West.

After the death of Hong Jinglai, who had an international vision, Li Xizhu and others adhered to the various policies and plans formulated by Hong Jinglai. They were not time travellers, and they did not have the great ability of "mental illness" to be one or two steps ahead of the world. They needed If you are groping, you will go the wrong way. The first industrial Ge Ming stumbled and did not go as fast as expected.

But we are on the road to progress, and foreign exchanges are expanding day by day. There are even people who can travel around the world, and people who sail to Europe are no longer rare.

The Dutch and Russian missions came to North Korea one after another. One was granted permission to trade in Dongnae Fusanpo, and the other was granted permission to trade in Incheon. Li Xizhu even allowed them to stay and stay in Hanyang Sifangguan, which became a practical policy. The first diplomatic mission of Tsarist Russia to North Korea was naturally Shekov. As for the Dutch commercial representative who also led trade between North Korea and Japan, it was Spode who had sent Hong Jinglai a model of a warship.

In 1832 and 1836, British and French trading ships went to Incheon to check customs, requesting to establish diplomatic relations with North Korea and sending diplomatic envoys.

At that time, Li Xizhu and Hong Yongzhou were beginning to hand over power. Li Xizhu believed that foreign countries were the same anyway. Since there were already Tsarist Russia and the Netherlands, exchanges with Britain and France could only be limited to trade, and there was no need to flood Hanyang Street with foreigners. Xiang. As people get older, they tend to lose some of their enterprising spirit.

At that time, Hong Yongzhou, with the support of a group of yangban who had begun to transform into the new bourgeois aristocracy, said that the country should be more open and exchanges should be increased. In the end, Hong Yongzhou's motion was recognized, and a group of powerful political figures The upstarts all say that strengthening foreign trade and exchanges can quickly enhance North Korea's national power.

Because of his outstanding performance in this matter, Li Xi's determination to hand over power was finally strengthened. Li Xi was immediately appointed as the governor of the Central Government, and the three major officials were the Hu Cao Banshu, the Bing Cao Banshu and the Li Cao Banshu. All important positions were handed over. Hong Yongzhou served as the de facto ruler of North Korea and continued to promote the development of North Korea.

In the first Sino-British war after 1840, China almost suffered a disastrous defeat in both war and diplomacy, which greatly stimulated Korea and, of course, Japan. People of insight in both countries were concerned about the domestic samurai family taking power and taxing. Issues such as heaviness have raised a series of new political propositions.

Over the years, foreign students studying abroad and the emerging bourgeois aristocracy have demanded to imitate the British that defeated the Qing Dynasty and realize multiple changes in politics, economy and military.

The promotion of rural schools and northern schools has greatly increased the educational level of good people, and the continuously developing productivity has driven the middle class of this society to seek more political advancement channels.

Ge Ming is brewing like a raging storm, but North Korea has finally embarked on a path of "rebel"...
