1730 The threat of Hunchun
The trip to Ningguta was incredibly short, just a sleepless night, and when the sun rose again, Jae-chun had already washed his face with cold water, and the horse team downstairs was ready to set off. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
It is also strange to say that Zaichun did not talk about promotion and wealth at all in this meeting, and Hunchun and other generals also seemed to have forgotten about this matter, and the two sides were really planning carefully for the future of the empire.
In fact, Xiao Letian knows very well that everything is in plain sight, Zaichun is not just promoting these generals to make a fortune, but from the dragon's work, Zaichun's pro-government is actually a revolution within the Qing Dynasty, a rebellion with the same phantom name.
The old aristocracy is destined to step down in batches, and these people are naturally the new nobles who will appear in the future, and it is one thing to change the dynasty, and the innovation within the dynasty is nothing more than that.
The morning sun rose in the east, Xiao Letian and his apprentice walked down the city tower accompanied by Hunchun, got on the horse and said goodbye, the smoke of cooking in the distant countryside had already floated, and the soldiers guarding the entrance of the village still did not retreat.
These people may wonder for a long time what happened tonight, but these are two parallel worlds, close but never intersecting.
The people will live their own lives, and the emperor will have their own great ambitions, and although they live under the same heaven and earth, they are as elusive as two worlds.
Hunchun took the reins of Zaichun's war horse and walked slowly in front of his head, and a deep relationship had been established between the monarch and the ministers in just one night, Zaichun found the most loyal subordinates, and Hunchun also saw the hope of the future of the empire, and sent the general to meet the rising east and send it one mile after another.
Until the end, Zaichun had no choice but to put on the identity of the emperor and order Hunchun to return to the city: "Let's go! Go back, I have entrusted this land to you! Don't send it, what I want is a general who does practical things, not a braggart in Sijiu City!"
"This farewell, you and I will not meet for at least three years, separated by tens of thousands of miles...... I hope you don't forget your original intention!"
Hunchun knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes, "Kowtow to the master! Take care of the master all the way, don't lose the prestige of my Qing Dynasty in the realm of foreign devils!" After speaking, the tears rolled down.
Zaichun's eyes were red, and he couldn't see this kind of scene, not to say a word, according to the horse's buttocks, it was a whip, and the tall head of the horse under his crotch flew over and rushed forward, "I will entrust this land to you! Three years later, you and I will meet again in the Forbidden City!"
The cavalry guarding saw that Zai Chun had run away first, and Hunchun looked at the back of the little emperor with tears in his eyes, and suddenly his eyes were like lightning and looked directly at Xiao Letian, who was about to urge the horse.
Hunchun gritted his back molars and whispered, "Prime Minister Xiao, please take good care of the land in the Far East...... Because it belongs to Your Majesty! If you are interested, you should hand over that land to Your Majesty! Otherwise, tens of millions of good Manchu men outside the border will not agree!"
Hiss...... Xiao Letian almost lost his breath, and he was still thinking about the piece of land east of the Ussuri River?
Xiao Letian is too lazy to talk nonsense with this kind of brainless general, and his identity is not equal, even if he wins the quarrel, it is not decent.
"The ownership of any piece of land is not up to you, nor is it up to a small group of people to have the final say, but for the people who live here!"
"Don't ask me a lot of answers, ask yourself first! When the Rakshasa ghost wreaks havoc on this land, when the Oroqen people, the wild Jurchens, and the Han people...... When the nation is being bullied, where are you? Where is the army of the Great Qing Kingdom?"
"Whether this land is still under your rule depends on what you do, not what I do......"
Hunchun can be kind to Zaichun and lower his eyebrows, but he is not so respectful to Xiao Letian, he has a straight waist and "hehe...... What can be regarded as a momentary dominance? I have not seen any wind and rain in the more than 200 years of rule of the Qing Dynasty?"
"It is true that we have taken detours and taken the wrong path over the years! But the Holy Monarch is in power, as long as we cheer up, there will be no hurdle that we cannot overcome! This land was ours before, and the future is ours!"
"People's hearts? huh...... What is the will of the people? Who would dare to say a word in the past? If the steel knife is on the neck, and then there is a little more good governance in the civil administration, I don't believe that they can still rebel?"
"Xiao Letian, let me tell you...... This Qing Dynasty belongs to the emperor, and this world cannot be without the emperor! You should instill in me the idea that foreign devils have no king and no father! This world will not work without the emperor!"
Xiao Letian was really defeated by this kind of self-centered people, but you can't argue with them yet, because this kind of education they received from childhood is like this.
"It's really a speechless era......" Xiao Letian sneered, "Since you think that the old experience can still rule this land, then continue to go on!, but I want to remind you, keep Jaechun in power, don't end up with a puppet emperor with no real power!"
"Bold!" Hunchun shouted, "You dare to call Your Majesty by his name?"
"...... I've been screaming for years! Jae-chun himself doesn't dare to fart, what are you? Damn, a sorghum flower ...... "I really can't communicate with this kind of brainless guy, and in the end, Xiao Letian burst into foul language."
Since the words are not speculative, then stop talking, and spur Ma Xiao Lotte to take the guards to the east.
Jae-chun didn't hear the conflict between the two, but Xiao Letian's gloomy face made Jae-chun a little stunned, and he asked a few words carefully but didn't ask anything.
And Hunchun stood on the post road, watching the horse team disappear from sight, his fists clenched and his nails were embedded in the flesh, "Your Majesty...... You have to be patient, endure for another three years, and we will never be bullied again!"
The monarchs and ministers separated, Zaichun and his party quickly whipped up and went straight to Vladivostok, they had nothing to say all the way They were chasing time, they had to go to Europe in July this year, the Franco-Prussian War had reached the stage of the arrow on the bow, and Bismarck and Napoleon III were engaged in a fierce diplomatic war and public opinion war at the moment.
This is to prepare for a hot war in advance, everyone is striving for more allies and more sympathy from the people, this is the most important war that changed the world pattern before the First World War, if it is missed, it will have to wait for decades to divide the fruits of the war.
China has no time, let alone decades, and even ten years cannot afford to delay.
When Xiao Lotian arrived at Vladivostok, the Zhiyuan had long been gone, which was also Xiao Letian's order, the Zhiyuan spanned two oceans from Europe, and had already reached the stage where it had to be maintained after several wars.
The paint had to be freshly painted, the bottom of the ship had to be scraped aside, the boiler had to be turned off and cleaned, and even all the rivets had to be checked one by one to see if they had loosened. The current Zhiyuan should have arrived in the dry dock east of the main island of the Ryukyus, and the Zhiyuan must undergo a major maintenance before sailing to Europe.
