After passing through the English Channel, Emperor Hua stayed at the inn provided by the British government in London.

It is exactly the same as in France, and no one has paid attention to the Emperor. The diplomatic relations between China and Britain are the same as those of France. Britain recognizes China in Asia, but when the Emperor arrived in Europe, it was discovered that they did not regard China as a country.

Or in other words, China did not regard China as a sub-strong country. The Emperor of China estimated that China was inferior to that of the British government, not to mention the sub-strong country, even the semi-colonial and semi-feudal states controlled by Britain, which were controlled by Britain.

"Your Majesty, this place is even more boring than France." Zeng Siping put his head into Emperor Hua's office, but his body was outside the door.

The cute CEO smiled slightly, "You won't ask me a lot of questions, right? You should ask Princess Katrina Kaif. In fact, she knows more than I do, and explains in more detail."

Zeng Siping covered his mouth and smiled, and appeared in front of Emperor Hua, and said as he walked: "Your Majesty is so smart. I just want to ask questions. If Your Majesty is busy and doesn't want to pay attention to me, I will go out."

The cute president looked at Zeng Siping's beautiful little face and suddenly felt a sense of guilt. She was only 13 years old and suddenly remembered the modern law that started in three years and was shocked.

Of course, there is also this law in China. As long as a girl is not over 16 years old, it is illegal for men and women to be together, and so is boys, but he has long broken the precepts.

Although Emperor Hua has long been unrestrained by the law, he still feels that being with an older girl is a sin.

"Okay, what questions do you want to ask this time?" Hua Huang smiled slightly, "I'll give you five minutes."

Zeng Siping pouted, "Your Majesty, I just saw you alone, and it didn't seem like I was thinking about things. I came in, why only five minutes? You obviously have a lot of time, don't you want to see me?"

The cute CEO blushed, "No, don't want to see you. I do have many things. I was tired just now. I can't let me answer your questions except for doing things, right? Besides, answering questions requires thinking, doesn't it take for me to work?"

"I'll ask one question, a very simple question. Princess Katrina Kaif told me the answer, but I still want to hear your Majesty say it in person." Zeng Siping said with a cute smile.

The cute CEO was defeated by Zeng Siping's beautiful little face and said with a smile: "Tell me. I don't know everything."

"Why did the modern wars in the late Qing Dynasty need to be compensated as soon as they were defeated, instead of using the money to arm the army to fight a protracted war? In the late Qing Dynasty, the country was poor, but the prices of cannons, guns, etc. were even lower. I saw that there were so many compensation treaties in the Qing Dynasty. Since the first Opium War, compensation was always a million taels. How could it be armed to buy warships, cannons and guns? At least hundreds of millions of taels of silver, armed warships and cannons are absolutely a world-class military power. Why not be armed? Why should we pay for money? Isn't it okay to pay for it?" Zeng Siping sat next to Emperor Hua.

The cute CEO smelled the girlish fragrance on Zeng Siping. It was purely natural and had no perfume at all, which smelled particularly good.

"Your Majesty?" Zeng Siping waited for almost half a minute, and saw that Emperor Hua was trance again, and shouted softly.

The cute CEO said oh, and came to his senses, afraid that Zeng Siping would find that his thoughts had floated on her, and his face turned red again. When he looked at Zeng Siping's face, he seemed to have not noticed, so he felt relieved. It seemed that Zeng Siping seemed a little precocious in politics and international affairs. In terms of relationships between men and women, he was still just a 13-year-old girl, which made Emperor Hua feel much more relieved.

"It's very simple, because the Qing Dynasty was a minority regime, and most of the troops were in the hands of Han generals in the late Qing Dynasty, and the Manchu army had no combat effectiveness. If they obtained too high funds, they would probably get rid of the control of the court. Therefore, the court used and defended the Han army, and would never allow the Han army to grow stronger. In fact, the modern army that the Qing Dynasty had been training heavily - the New Army. The modern army that the Qing Dynasty spent hundreds of millions of taels of silver, otherwise where would Li Hongzhang's Huai Army and Zuo Zongtang's Chu army come from." Hua Huang replied, "And, can 100 million taels of silver create a world-class strong army? It's far from being able to do it, because the strong army was not bought, and now is an era of rapid renewal of weapons. During the First Opium War, the British army was still using flintlock rifles, which was not much worse than the European battlefields in the late Ming Dynasty. Of course, the production technology has been improved a lot."

Zeng Siping said oh, not interrupting Emperor Hua.

President Meng continued: "In this era, warships may be outdated before they were built on the ship platform halfway. During the First Opium War, the great powers used wooden sail warships and were still using black gunpowder to hit iron balls. What are the British warships now? It was the era of battleships. Without industrialization and the entire industrial chain, buying was useless. And is 100 million two more for the great powers? In the Franco-Prussian War in the 1870s, France, as the defeated party, cut off two provinces of Alsace and Lorraine, and paid 5 billion francs, which is much more than the Qing court paid to foreigners. However, France paid it out the next year. The country with industrialized production and modernized finance has its economic strength that agricultural countries cannot compare with."

Zeng Siping's eyes turned, as if he understood a little, and then said oh again.

Hua Huang smiled and said, "Has the Qing government tried hard? It would be impossible for him to give up building an army for its own rule. The Qing emperor and Cixi were also people who wanted face and did not want others to ride their heads to shit. Otherwise, how did the Westernization Movement come from? Compared with the great powers, the Qing Dynasty was a weak country. Don't look at it. In 1840, the British fiscal revenue was already 6 times that of the Qing government. The Qing government could not afford to delay the long-term war. After the British fleet bombarded Nanjing, showing its ability to cut off the Grand Canal, the Qing government

He could only admit defeat and pay a few million taels of silver to settle the matter, otherwise the grain transportation would be cut off and all the Beijing yamen would starve to death. The weakness of the Qing Dynasty was not just a government problem, but a feudal agricultural country could no longer keep up with the changes in the world. On the ruling skills of the feudal empire in Confucianism, the Qing Dynasty was the most powerful since the Han Dynasty. However, the feudal system could no longer be understood, and the agricultural country could no longer adapt to the world pattern of this era. Only by undergoing a thorough revolution in system, economy and culture can this situation be changed."

"Well, I know that the Qing court is very corrupt, and the destruction of the country is inevitable. I learned everything when I was in elementary school in China." Zeng Siping continued.

"Well, China has come to this day, and it is not just a simple change to a ruler. Politically, the establishment of the Huacui Party, the establishment of the entire national system, the entire country, and the entire society are changing. Economically, from the Westernization Movement in the Qing Dynasty to the current national industrial construction and industrialization process in China. Culturally, students have been sent from the Qing Dynasty, and the construction of various schools in China are the literacy movement and compulsory education. In the mid-18th century, Prussia promoted the universal education system, and the whole people have been the national education system.

The primary school graduation rate reached 97%. Japan benefited from the promotion of Kana (similar to pinyin), and in the Tokugawa Shogunate era, it had reached 90% literacy rate. What about Confucian society? From ancient times to the Qing Dynasty (before the Opium War), it was only about 1% (calculated according to the standard of 500 commonly used characters in the literacy class). Although Japan's Meiji Restoration Industrialization process was fast, it was a productive foundation. China's reform of rural clans and feudal remnants is even more earth-shaking."

Every generation has its own affairs. The Qing Dynasty should perish and be crushed by the wheel of history. However, the Qing Dynasty ruled was not a fool, and they all made their own efforts. It was just that his purpose was to extend the rule, but which regime did not extend the rule?

After Emperor Hua finished speaking, he was also moved. Although he had been unified for more than two years, he always felt unreal because the speed and way of pushing down the Qing court were too dreamy.

"Your Majesty, I know that the Qing government is weak, but I didn't expect that even if I have money, I can't build an army. Then why can our Chinese army overthrow the Qing court in one go?" Zeng Siping still couldn't figure it out.
