    (Thanks to book friend** for the tip!)

    Pu Xu, the king of Dingjun, had no idea that the fate of his daughter, and even the fate of their family, would change dramatically tonight.  Of course, this change may not be what he hoped for.  However, he did not have the ability to refuse and could only passively accept it.

    Puxu, the king of Dingjun, is the fifth son of Zai Ming.  In September of the fourth year of Xianfeng (1854), Prince Ding Zaiquan died of illness. Emperor Xianfeng issued an edict to "take Puxu, the great grandson of Miande, as his successor." He was adopted by Zaiquan's heir and lived in Beifu (ie Prince Ding's Mansion in Gangwa City).  It was the month when Quan died and he attacked the king of the county.  He was a philanthropic man who often gave money and rice to the poor and bought birds to release.  He made no achievements in his life. He did not enter the court for many years. He was sometimes fined for not being on the job.  Pu Xu's seniority was relatively low among the Manchu clan, one generation below Emperor Guangxu.

    "Well, let's decide on the girl from the Puxu family. Although she is lower in generation, she is from my Qing Dynasty clan. She has a noble status and is perfectly qualified to be a young marshal in western Sichuan. You go out of the city immediately and tell this matter  Let¡¯s talk to Western Sichuan!¡± Empress Dowager Cixi said.

    "Ah! Old Buddha, it's already so late, can't we do it tomorrow?" Prince Gong Yixin said with some surprise.  I didn't expect Cixi to be so impatient, so she just remembered to settle down now.

    "Go now and make a decision as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams!" said the Empress Dowager Cixi.

    "Yes, Lord Buddha, I will go now!" Prince Gong Yixin said.

    "Well! Go ahead. The Ai family is waiting for your reply!" Empress Dowager Cixi warned.

    "Yes, Lord Buddha, I will definitely leave as soon as possible!" Prince Gong Yixin replied.

    Outside the capital city, in the military camp in western Sichuan.  Wang Yuze, Liang Xingrong and Song Zhengping were talking.  They finally reached an agreement with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which finally relaxed their tense mood.  Although it was a great pity that we were not able to capture Guangxi, it was already very good to be able to occupy the territory of four provinces and receive a war compensation of 120 million taels of silver.

    "Young Marshal, the fleet will return to China in two years. Without a port, it will always be difficult! We can't let the fleet float on the sea all the time, right?" Liang Xingrong said.  The importance of Guangxi to western Sichuan is self-evident.  Without an outlet to the sea, Western Sichuan has never been able to achieve real take-off.

    "Yes! After taking over Guangxi, we have to build the port and shipyard in advance, which will take a long time. We must solve the problem of the seaport within a year, at most a year and a half.  !" Song Zhengping also said.

    "Isn't there still more than a year? Don't worry! After waiting for a year and a half, we will have almost digested the newly occupied territory. We can find any reason to send troops into Guangxi. By that time, our strength will be  It has been improved again. We are not necessarily afraid of the great powers. Besides, the great powers are not monolithic. Germany is our quasi-ally, and the United States is simply insignificant. Russia is in the north, and if we take Guangxi, it will not do anything to them.  Influence. As for Britain, as long as we give them certain benefits, they will not stop it. As for France, if there is no support from other countries, he will not dare to do anything to us! Although the market in western Sichuan has gone through two  After ten years of cultivation, it is still relatively small. The newly acquired territory in four provinces has given us tens of millions more people. After cultivation, it will also be a very large market. At the same time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty opened all the markets to us  The market will also greatly promote the development of our economy. Even if the great powers threaten us by blocking our trade channels, they will not pose such a big threat to us!" Wang Yuze said.

    The reason why the great powers were able to intervene in the war between Western Sichuan and the Qing Dynasty without any fear this time was because they recognized this point.  The development of western Sichuan is based on the huge overseas market.  Western Sichuan's exports, including some clothes, raw silk, bristles and some luxury goods, are heavily dependent on the European and American markets.  If the foreign powers block Western Sichuan's overseas trade channels, Western Sichuan's economy will not last long.  Therefore, Western Sichuan had to make compromises and give up the victory that was within easy reach.  In the final analysis, it is still because Sichuan West is not strong enough.  If Western Sichuan had the strength to make the great powers wary, would the great powers still dare to force Western Sichuan like this?  Now.  Sichuan West's strength is still a little bit behind.  However, Western Sichuan is developing at a rapid pace, and I believe it will not be long before it can catch up with or even surpass the European powers.  At that time, Sichuan West will no longer have to look at their faces.

    "Since the young marshal has already made a plan, we won't say more. After this war is over, the young marshal should return to Chengdu. The military experience has been enough, and it is time to start familiarizing himself with the handling of government affairs.  Liang Xingrong said.

    Wang Yuze couldn't help but his eyes lit up. Liang Xingrong's willingness to say this undoubtedly affirmed his identity and ability. This will be very helpful for him to inherit the power in western Sichuan in the future.

      "Yes! The Marshal's health is getting worse and worse. If the Young Marshal becomes familiar with government affairs earlier, it can also reduce the pressure on the Marshal!" Song Zhengping also said.  Wang Xiao, the founder of Western Sichuan, has a very tall image in the minds of these people.  They naturally hope to see Wang Xiao continue to lead western Sichuan and move forward with higher and further goals in mind.  However, people are subject to birth, aging, illness and death, and Wang Xiao cannot escape this law.  Under such circumstances, they can only place their hope on Wang Xiao's successor.  Fortunately, although Wang Yuze's performance was not outstanding when he was young, now, Wang Yuze's changes have impressed them.  If something happens to Wang Xiao, Wang Yuze will undoubtedly be a qualified successor.

    "Yeah!" Wang Yuze nodded.  His performance in this war has already conquered the big bosses in the army.  If he inherits the power of Western Sichuan in the future, the military will no longer object to him.  What he has to do now is to deal with attribute government affairs.  He still remembered Cai Yun once said that what western Sichuan needs is a commander, not a general!

    "Young Marshal, Director Liang, Deputy Director Song! Prince Gong Yixin wants to see you!" Wang Wei walked into Wang Yuze's military tent and said.

    "Prince Gong Yixin? Why is he here so late? Do you want to regret it?" Wang Yuze said in surprise.

    "No matter what they are here for, let's talk about it after we meet. If they really want to go back on their word, isn't it in line with our wishes? Then we can directly send our troops to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty. In that case, the great powers will also  There is no reason!" Liang Xingrong said with a smile.

    "Haha! Yes! In this case, I really hope that Yi Xin will regret it!" Song Zhengping also laughed.

    Soon, Wang Wei led Prince Gong Yixin into Wang Yuze's military tent.

    "Your Highness Prince Gong, please do it. Wang Wei, serve tea!" Wang Yuze greeted enthusiastically.  Although during the negotiation, everyone was always on tenterhooks.  But now that an agreement has been reached, there is no need to do that anymore.  Besides, Prince Gong Yixin is already the Manchu military chief minister, so Western Sichuan still needs to give him some face.

    "Thank you, Young Marshal. I am here today to express my congratulations to the Young Marshal!" Prince Gong Yixin said.

    "Daoxi? What's going on?" Wang Yuze was a little confused.

    "The young marshal is young and possesses both civil and military skills. He is truly a rare hero. Lafayette fell in love with the young marshal, so the marshal married me to the young marshal from the Qing Dynasty!" Prince Gong said with a smile.

    "What? Marry Princess to me?" Wang Yuze was shocked.

    Liang Xingrong and Song Zhengping were also very surprised. They did not expect that Prince Gong came here for this purpose.

    "Young Marshal, this is Lafayette's grace!" Prince Gong Yixin continued.

    "I'll go! I don't care about grace or anything like that." Wang Yuze said secretly.  I have no interest in those princesses from the Manchu Qing Dynasty!

    "Prince Gong, I am already married. Moreover, I still have three wives. It is not appropriate to marry Princess of the Qing Dynasty again!" Wang Yuze immediately thought of the reason for rejection.

    "It's simple. Just divorce your three wives. I have a noble status in the Qing Dynasty, so naturally I cannot serve the same husband with other women!" Prince Gong said directly, as if this was a matter of course.

    But, he obviously thought wrong.  For ordinary people, being able to marry a princess is a blessing earned over many lifetimes.  However, for Wang Yuze, he was not surprised at all.  All three of his wives were deeply loved by him, how could he do such an ungrateful thing?

    "Prince Gong, I'm sorry to have to obey. My three wives and I have always been in love, and I will never divorce them to marry Princess!" Wang Yuze shook his head, his tone a little stiff.

    Prince Gong¡¯s face is a little ugly. With his Qing Dynasty style and noble status, can he still be like other women with several women serving the same husband?  This puts the face of the Qing royal family at risk.

    "Young Marshal, this is a gift from Lafayette Chrysostom. It will be beneficial to both of us if the Young Marshal and I get married in the Qing Dynasty. By then we will become a family. If there are any conflicts, it will be a family matter."  It¡¯s much easier to handle!¡± Prince Gong Yixin said.

    Wang Yuze also thought of this. If he married a Manchu princess, he and Manqing would become his own people.  Although, the Manchu princess had no power.  But might he also be able to use this to intervene in the internal affairs of the Qing Dynasty?  However, if he was asked to divorce his three wives and marry a Manchu princess, that would be absolutely impossible.  Even this marriage is beneficial to Western Sichuan.  But he, Wang Yuze, is not the kind of person who is unjust and unjust.

    "I have no objection to marrying the Qing Dynasty.right.  However, it is absolutely impossible for me to divorce my wife.  I can marry Princess from the Qing Dynasty.  However, she can only be my fourth wife!  Wang Yuze said firmly.
