Xiao Letian called? What kind of trouble are these two devils doing here at this critical moment? Many officials at the court slandered.
After all, he was Emperor Tongzhi's mentor in Western learning. Zai Chun did not dare to be disrespectful to his master's telegram. He opened the telegram and read it, but he frowned at the beginning.
"Zaichun! Are you getting more and more alienated from me? Why don't you tell the master if something so big happens?"
"What are you waiting for? Waiting for the master to take the initiative to send you a message? It seems that you have really learned a bit of the emperor's aloofness!"
"With such a huge disaster in the north of the Qing Dynasty, why can't we take the initiative to talk to the master? Do you think the master will just stand by and watch?"
The head of state came up and scolded him, and his words revealed his dissatisfaction with Emperor Tongzhi. From beginning to end, he blamed Zai Chun for not asking him for help!
After all, Xiao Letian's education is different from that of people of this era. He understands what humanitarian crises are, and he also knows that sometimes conflicts must be abandoned for humanitarian rescue!
No matter how many conflicts there are between the Chinese and the Qing Dynasty... in fact, the conflict has not yet reached the point of tearing apart, both sides are in the honeymoon period!
No matter what, the intrigues at the top cannot involve civilians. What do those people who have spent their whole lives farming in mountain villages know? They are very innocent.
With such a serious snow disaster, don't you, Zaichun, know how to report the disaster to the master?
Even if you open your mouth to ask for food from the master, the master still has to give it! If you are really cheating, it will be in vain. This only proves the friendship between master and disciple!
I only act rogue when we are on good terms with each other, and my courtesy is only for outsiders!
But I didn't expect that Zai Chunzhen's wings were getting stronger and stronger after being in power for several years. The pride of being an emperor made it difficult for him to ask for help from others!
The idea of imperial dignity in the Heavenly Kingdom had such a profound influence on him!
From the day when the blizzard caused the disaster, Emperor Tongzhi had always wanted to rely on his own strength to relieve the victims, and all he wanted to do was rely on the resources of the Qing Dynasty to solve the crisis.
He did not ask for help from any external force, not even the Chinese!
Xiao Letian was still waiting for his apprentice to complain to him in Naha, but neither the left nor the right came. In the end, the Chinese embassy sent telegrams from the capital to Naha every day, and he learned the full story of the disaster. process!
Xiao Letian, who sighed deeply, knew that Zai Chun was trying to get more serious, and he really wanted to let it go, but in the end he sent this telegram!
The head of state has the head of state's consideration. On the one hand, as a close neighbor of the Qing Dynasty, the Chinese must take a stand when encountering such a disaster. This is a matter of diplomatic politeness.
If you ignore it and the two sides talk about diplomacy in the future, this will be a very serious rift and an excuse!
Therefore, in international diplomacy, even if two countries are competing in the Cold War, if one side encounters a natural or man-made disaster, the other side should also offer condolences and provide some symbolic assistance!
Just like during the epidemic, many countries that have always had bad relations with China still have China to donate medical supplies to help!
Whether the other party appreciates or not is their business, but this will be recorded in the history of diplomacy. When there is another diplomatic conflict in the future, this will become a talking point and a moral weapon!
The head of state at the moment also thinks so. If he ignores it, Qing officials may one day use this matter as a provocation!
Diplomatic considerations are on the one hand, and simple personal emotions on the other! Of course, Xiao Letian doesn't want too many people to die. This is the vitality of the country!
Even if the Chinese annex the Qing Empire one day in the future, these people will naturally become Chinese people!
There is no difference between them. What we are saving now is nothing more than the people of the future!
Finally, of course, there is the relationship between master and disciple. In all Xiao Letian's strategic plans, Zai Chun, the child, will always be his disciple no matter what his identity is in the future!
Even if the Qing Dynasty is destroyed, Zai Chun will be a king under his wings, just like King Shangtai, and I can't let him suffer no matter what!
After much deliberation, the master should speak first. Can I express my condolences to you? Who told me to owe you!
It is with this mentality that Xiao Letian's condolence telegram was filled with lessons and complaints about his disciples. When he opened his mouth, he sounded like he was being toughened, and he was too rude, and so on.
It looked like Zai Chun had a nail under his butt, and it was very uncomfortable to twist around!
But there was good news at the end of the telegram: "Master knows that you are having a hard time at the moment... He has allocated two shipments of grain, totaling more than 3,000 tons of rice. Master, I paid for this with my own money!"
"You use it first! If it's not enough, I'll coordinate some low-priced food for you... Don't think the master is stingy. The master has spent a lot of money recently, so giving you three thousand tons is a lot!"
"No matter how much you want later, you have to pay for it! Don't worry, I won't make your money..."
A warm current surged in Zai Chun's heart. The master had not forgotten him in the end! But when he saw the bottom line of the telegram, his expression changed.
"Your senior brother Xiang Ying is responsible for the rice transportation. The Chinese Navy Logistics Department has allocated two small cargo ships. It is expected to arrive at Dagukou in five days!"
"Let me contact you specifically to find Xiang Ying!"
Not to mention Xiang Ying, Zaichun felt uncomfortable all over when he mentioned Xiang Ying, and the warmth just now suddenly turned into resentment!
"Asking him to deliver food? This is a joke to let him come to see me sincerely! Maybe the resentment in the master's words is due to his instigation!"
"He never wants me to be good. He wants me to be embarrassed! Let me coordinate with him? Bah..."
Zai Chun slapped the telegraph newspaper on Long's case, and the old man was furious. He had not been in contact with this so-called senior brother for several years.
Master, is this old memorization? Want me to coordinate with him? dream!
The ministers didn't know what the head of state had written. Prince Dun bravely asked, "Your Majesty! I wonder if the head of state has any important military matters!"
"Haha... Master is afraid that I will have nothing to eat and that I will be hungry, so he will give me three thousand tons of grain!"
Ouch... people whispered to each other, "This is a good thing! Three thousand tons of grain is enough to feed 10,000 people for a year... If disaster relief is provided, it will be enough to feed the people of a county for more than a month!"
"This gift is not light, really not light..."
Snapped! Zai Chunyi Pai Long Case: "Does the Qing Dynasty lack these 3,000 tons of grain? Could it be that the Qing Dynasty itself cannot save its own people?"
"Remember! You have to rely on yourself to survive, and you have to rely on yourself to survive!"
"Now that the disaster has been contained, I don't need charity from others!"
The ministers looked at each other in confusion. No one knew what happened to the little emperor today, why he suddenly had so much resentment towards the head of state!
But no one dared to ask. The third master wanted to speak but finally held back, sighing secretly in his heart!
"Your Majesty... you are still of Aisin Gioro's blood after all! The rebelliousness in your bones cannot be changed. The emperor's authority is strict, the emperor's authority is strict!"
"Is the face of imperial power really that important?"
