Regarding the name of the capital of England, the six and half-way monks who came to yesterday translated six names, including "Linden", "Lingsquat", and "Cold Lantern".

Han Xiufeng felt that it was not elegant enough, so he discussed with Qingxian for a while and finally decided to translate it as "London". He didn't think about "Dunlun" at all, but he actually made such a big joke. Fortunately, the emperor was happy, and the two hereditary ****s were happy, and even Wen Qing, the Minister of Revenue, felt that it was harmless.

Han Xiufeng couldn't help laughing, but he knew very well that "Houyitang" could not only report good news but not bad news. Otherwise, he would not dare to report military information that was unfavorable to the court in the future. So he said carefully: "Report to the emperor, I also found out that in July of the 1,853rd year of the Western Yi Dynasty, that is, in early May last year, a general named Peili from the Miyi Navy led two steam armored gunboats and two ordinary gunboats into the mouth of Edo Bay in Japan to threaten Japan's founding of the country."

"Create the country?" Prince Zheng Duanhua asked subconsciously.

"It is to ask Japan to open trade ports so that their merchants can do business with the Japanese people, and also have relevant terms such as taxes and dispatch of envoys." Seeing the emperor and Prince Zheng Duanhua thinking, Han Xiufeng took a deep breath and added: "The conditions proposed are similar to those proposed by... Bao Ling and other foreign chiefs."

When Xianfeng, Japan knew about it, he was silent for a moment and asked with a gloomy face: "Did Japan agree?"

"Reported to the emperor, I found out that Japan was not the emperor, and his government was controlled by a family named Tokugawa. The head of the family was the General of the Congyi, also known as the Shogun, who was hereditary. It has been passed down for fifteen generations and lasted for more than two hundred and forty years."

Prince Zheng Duanhua blurted out: "A traitor!"

Prince Yi Zaiyuan deeply agreed: "This is using the emperor to command the princes!"

"That's right." Han Xiufeng bowed his hand and continued: "This generation of shogunshang's surname is Tokugawa and his name is Qingxi. He was worried that he would not be able to explain to the officials, gentry and the people in the city, and would not be ashamed to face his ancestors a hundred years later. So he wanted to sign with Miyi in the name of the emperor, and even made an exception to ask Daming, the city lord and other officials from the border to discuss with the scholars."

"Have you discussed a result?" Xianfeng asked afterwards.

"At that time, the four gunboats led by the Yiqie had a total of 63 cannons, and Japan could fire less than twenty cannons in Edo Bay. If Miyi did not agree to Miyi's conditions, Miyi would start fighting. The shogunate did not dare to gamble on national fortunes and dared not assert and refuse, but he was afraid that the letter of state sent by the Yiqie Peiri sent ashore was broken and the country would be disastrous, so he could only accept the treaty on the pretext of getting the emperor's decree, and agreed to give a reply this summer."

Although it is said that it is Japan, what is the difference between Japan's situation and the Qing Dynasty?

Han Xiufeng knew that the emperor was unhappy, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "February 13, 1854th year, the 16th day of the first lunar month this year. Before the agreed summer was yet to come, the Yi Ke Peri could not wait to lead seven gunships into the Edo Bay in Japan. Faced with Miyi's armored gunboat, this generation of shogunate general Tokugawa Keiki could only accept Miyi's letter of state, and the two sides signed the "Japan-US Reconciliation Treaty" in a place called Yokohama."

"It's a great shame to be humiliated!" Xianfeng murmured.

Han Xiufeng could imagine that the emperor must feel very uncomfortable. He peeked at it and said carefully: "Your Majesty, this matter has not ended. I learned that Ying, Buddha, Russia, and Ho of Yi had agreed to Miyi's conditions and rushed forward like a hungry wolf. They all made corresponding requests to Japan. Since Tokugawa Keiki did not dare to start a war with Miyi, he did not dare to start a war with them easily. In desperation, he had to sign a peace agreement with them one after another."

Prince Yi Zaiyuan thought to himself that the emperor was very happy. He would not open any pot, so he hurriedly said: "It is reasonable for Japan to dare not offend the Western barbarians."

Su Shun suddenly reacted and quickly smiled, "Your Majesty, I guess that Tokugawa Ieyasu must not know that the two British and Buddhist barbarians were fighting against Russian barbarians, and must not know that Miyi's country was not peaceful, so he was intimidated by Miyi's Xuci, and he signed a city alliance that was powerless and humiliated in a daze."

Sushun's brother Prince Zheng Duanhua even walked to the globe, turning the huge copper ball, while pretending to be curious: "Han Xiufeng, isn't there a map of the nations there? Why did you bring this?"

"Reported to the Lord, the lower officials brought several maps, including two of them painted by Western Yi. The reason why they brought this thing was because they were worried that they could not explain it clearly."

"What can't be explained clearly?"

"Because... because according to the Western Yi, the world is round, not the sky is round, and the Western Yi has verified more than once. They sailed out of here and walked westward, and returned to their original place as they walked eastward. They walked eastward, and as they walked back to their original place. The officials did not know whether it was true or false, but the officials involved in the Western Yi, or they felt that they would rather believe that they had something or not."

"Nonsense!" Duanhua turned the bronze ball and turned around and smiled, "Your Majesty, look, if this world is really round as the Western Yi said, then wouldn't the person standing here fall?"

When Xianfeng was a child, he saw a globe more exquisite than this. He also asked the same question as Prince Gong Yi, who was also the prince at that time. He had forgotten what Emperor Ama said at that time, and he was too lazy to think about those things now.

He was not sure what to say, Prince Yi Zaiyuan suddenly came over and said with a slight slight : "Your Majesty, I think it makes sense that the Western Yi says the world is round. Look, my Qing Dynasty is here, the Obaro, where the Western Yi is located and the Asian Mei continent where the Miyi is located are naturally here. My Qing Dynasty is above, the Western Yi is below, and the Western Yi is below; my Qing Dynasty is Yang, and the Western Yi is Yin; in other words, my Qing Dynasty is in the sun, and the Western Yi is in the underworld, so I call him "foreign devil", called him "red-haired ghost" and "green-haired ghost"!"

The more Prince Yi Zaiyuan thought about it, the more reasonable it became. He leaned over and pointed at the globe and said, "Oh, it's true! Your Majesty, this statement makes sense!"

Xianfeng also felt that there was some truth, so he thought for a moment and suddenly stood up and said, "Wenqing, on behalf of me, ordered Taichang Temple to select auspicious places, and sent Prince Gong Yi to Juesheng Temple; Prince Dun Yiqiu went to Heilongtan; Prince Chun Yiqiu went to Qingyi Garden Dragon God Temple; Prince Cheng Zairui went to Jingming Garden Dragon God Temple; Prince Hui Mianyu went to Xuanren Temple; Prince Zhuang Yiren went to Ninghe Temple; Prince Yi, you went to Zhaoxian Temple for me to pick incense."

"Slaves obey the order!"

Xianfeng thought about it, then looked at Han Xiufeng and Enjun who stood by the door but did not dare to say anything, saying, "He used the Tongzheng Department Senator Han Xiufeng to work hard to work in the business, and appointed his father as the Fengzheng doctor; he used the Qianqing Gate guards to study and walk to work hard to work hard to work in the business, and rewarded a pair of big purses and two pairs of small purses."

Rewarded a seal!

Han Xiufeng suddenly reacted and hurriedly knelt down and thanked: "Thank you the emperor for your kindness."

Eun-jun recovered from his senses and hurriedly bowed and thanked her.

"Kneel and take all these things back," Xianfeng pointed to the globe placed in the center of the hall, and thought about it and said, "I have been sure how to report to the ministers of the Military Affairs Department in the morning when you asked in that morning. If the 'Houyi Hall' encounters any more difficult things, you can find Sushun as before."

"I obey the order."

...

The emperor was not in a good mood just now and was not furious. Han Xiufeng finally breathed a sigh of relief, packed up the foreigners' newspapers and maps, and with Enjun, who was holding the globe, exited the hall.

As soon as he walked out, Sushun and a little eunuch chased after him.

Han Xiufeng looked back and found out that he was delivering Eun-jun's purse. Eun-jun hurriedly put down the globe covered with red silk and knocked it back to thank you again.

After the little eunuch left, Su Shun asked in a low voice: "Zhixing, what a lesson from the past. Did you do it on purpose in Japan?"

"Sir, Xiufeng also knows that it would be unhappy to report the emperor according to the truth, but Xiufeng is deeply influenced by the emperor and is doing an inquire about the affairs of the barbarians. He dare not report it without reporting it, nor can he report it without reporting it without reporting it."

"Well said it, you are not the God of the Kitchen God, so you can't always say good things."

"Sir, you mean..."

"I mean it should be like this. There must be people in the court who dare to tell the truth," Su Shun looked back and saw Enjun honestly keeping a distance and following from a distance. Then he changed his mind: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the emperor, you won't be angry with you. Even if the emperor is really angry, isn't I still there?"

"Sir Xie."

"Here is here again, what's the point of thanking me. Think about it carefully, I should thank you. This job was done beautifully and didn't embarrass me." Thinking that Zhejiang's memorial had been delayed for three months, Sushun smiled again: "Now it seems that the official documents of the 'Houyi Hall' are not passed through the Military Affairs Office and the Ministry of War will not be so well-versed. If the Ministry of War is sent, the news would not be so well-versed."

Speaking of this, Han Xiufeng couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Sir, this news is faster than the mailing of the Ministry of War, but it is all made of money. Xiufeng doesn't know if Qingxian can hold on if this continues."

"He has to support him, he can't blame you. If you want to blame him, you can only blame him, who is becoming more and more confused as he gets older."

"Yes, the result of his family's current situation is already great."

"I won't talk about these things, talk about the serious matters." Su Shun stopped and looked at Han Xiufeng with a smile, "I guess Wenzhongtang thought that the 'Houyi Hall' would not become a climate, but I found that I was unintentionally planting willows and willows to become shade. I felt that inquiring about the situation of the barbarians, especially military affairs, we should not slack off, but also strictly prevent catharsis. Otherwise, the 'Diyuanshu' just now would cause a huge wave. At that time, Han Zhixing would be criticized by thousands of people, and even the 'Houyi Hall' would have to close the door, so I asked the emperor to send more guards."

"Wen Zhongtang is indeed a mature plan for the country."

"It's worth talking about it. I think the civil and military officials in the court are not as good as the one Wenzhong Hall!"

Han Xiufeng didn't expect that Su Shun, who looked down on anyone and did not like anyone, admired Wenqing so much. Just because he didn't know what to say, Su Shun smiled and said, "I'll go back to the emperor to listen to the opera later. I'll do the guards' affairs tomorrow. The reason I came out is to ask you, what are the shortcomings of the 'Houyi Hall'?"

"The Emperor asked?"

"Isn't this nonsense? Is there anything missing? Is there any difficult thing?"

The opportunity was rare, Han Xiufeng weighed it and looked up and said, "Sir, I don't have enough things, but through this message transmission, Xiufeng found that there was no trustworthy person in Tianjin. Because whether it was the emergency military information sent by two major tickets or the Xiyi Mansions sent back from Guangzhou, Macau, Fuzhou, Shanghai and other places, they had to be transferred in Tianjin."

"Send someone to Tianjin Wei?" Su Shun asked subconsciously.

"If Tianjin is the important defense area of ​​Haihai, if a small eighth- or ninth rank official is sent to the same as before, Xiufeng is worried that this job may not be done well."

"What were you planning?"

"Sir, what are my plans for the election of an official as such a big deal?"

Sushun hurried back to accompany the emperor to listen to the opera, and urged impatiently: "There are no outsiders here, so what's the point, but it's okay to say it. How can I know if I can do it if I don't say it out?"

Han Xiufeng did not dare to go around the circle anymore and said bluntly: "This official cannot be too small, and the official seal is not suitable. Xiufeng wants to recommend Han Chen, the current magistrate of Lianghuai Salt Transportation Department, to go to Tianjin to act as a deputy of the Haigong Tongzhi or to the Changlu Salt Transportation Department."

"This name sounds familiar."

"Reported to the Lord, Han Yunshen held a delegation training session as ambassador of the Jiaoxichang Salt Course Department. If he hadn't planned ahead and recruited hundreds of township brave men, Xiufeng wouldn't have so many soldiers guarding Wanfu Bridge back then."

"I remember that this person Guo Peilin seems to have recommended it."

"My Lord is very good at memory. His current fortune judgment was recommended by Mr. Guo when he was appointed as the Lianghuai Salt Transportation Commissioner."

This is a huge thing for Han Xiufeng, but it is nothing for Sushun. He pondered for a moment and said lightly: "Since the Han Chen you mentioned has been in charge of the troupe training, and he was recommended by Guo Peilin, and he was a salt official, then I will help you think of a way to transfer him to Zhili to act as the deputy envoy of the Chief Salt Transport Department!"
