"Lafayette, Lafayette, disaster is coming, this Han people are going to rebel and destroy the door."

"Lafayette, you have to call the shots for our bannermen. These days the thieves are going to counterattack. ”

"Fathers and fathers, open your eyes. Our Qing Dynasty has been glorious for 300 years, and we can't let those Han thieves kill our people indiscriminately. ”

On the square outside the end gate, a large group of yellow and red ribbons carrying cage birds on weekdays cried outside the door against the sun, and the eunuchs inside the door also perched one by one without spirit, a scene of the end of the world.

Tie Liang, who entered the palace from Xihua Gate, saw this scene, flicked his sleeves angrily, and said to Yin Chang next to him, "Seventh brother, these are people with white flags, it seems that Lao Tzu Niang is dead." It's just that thousands of displaced people have broken through the state capital, how can it be like the sky has collapsed, this end gate crying temple has been made, it is really the qi of the Qing Dynasty..."

"Hey, it's all a flag, breaking bones and connecting tendons." After all, Yin Chang was old and serious, so he quickly interrupted Tie Liang's words, lest this master might jump out of some taboo words: "These thieves are too, and the left and right are just robbing money, can they be guilty of slaughtering the city and destroying the gate and setting it on fire?" This Futai actually dared to abandon the city and flee, and even the family lost half of the Tai, which really lost the face of the white flag. ”

"Don't you say it, even if this old boy doesn't die for his country, at least come back and report it. It's good, I took my two sons to the sea by boat, I really think I am a monkey? You can run to the ends of the earth. Tie Liang was also distracted by Yin Chang, and he was extremely unkind to Futai, the general of Hangzhou, and now he is even more so when he encounters this kind of running general.

"That's right, Brother Seven. Is that deputy of yours all down? Tie Liang asked

"Not yet, but that's only a day or two." Yin Chang also has eyeliner in the palace, and he knows that this information can't be hidden, so there is nothing to fool with Tie Liang.

"Futai, this old boy is unbearable, but he has also gone through things, and he will not know the sin of abandoning the city, I am afraid that his full standard will be scattered, and there are no available soldiers in his hands, and he doesn't want to die before he makes this decision." Tie Liang said in a low voice, "This troubled world is coming, there is Lafayette on it, this Qing Dynasty may still have a few years of longevity, if so, alas, there are no available soldiers and horses in hand, even if you have money, it is the root and seedling of causing trouble." Our brothers are really at the bottom of the matter, it's good that I can pull out a trick from under the big head, the Praetorian Guard of this banner man must be trained, but it is useless to rely on this association and a town alone. If you go down to Shandong, if you don't do anything else, just look at the fate of the old and young clans in Hangzhou, you also have to control the strength of a town, this is a life-saving thing. ”

"Your seventh brother can also save it, but the money for raising and training the army is difficult" The two of them entered the noon gate with a long sigh, and the palace is now in a gloomy place.

"Lafayette, you don't stick to your teeth this day, but what's the matter?" Xiao Dezhang had been waiting outside for a morning, and now he was about to collapse, wondering how the old-timer Li Lianying would live. However, Mr. Li has been honorably co-ordinated, and is now living in the Kagura Department.

"Lafayette, Tie Liang Yinchang asks to see you." Cui Yugui, the second thousand-year-old child, still has no chance of taking the position, but looking at Xiao Dezhang's age and purple appearance, he can be completely desperate.

"Announce it." Cixi is already weak, this Qing Dynasty has never been worry-free, the chaos between Japan and Russia has just been sorted out, fortunately, this time the Oriental devils are righteous, and the occupied Jilin Fengtian is returned, so that the banner people will not lose their roots, but the territory of Heilongjiang allows Westerners to take advantage of the fire to rob and occupy, I heard that Wu Chenxuan in Shandong is also involved, it is really unbearable. But this matter can be regarded as having an explanation, and now there is a matter in Hangzhou, which has made the survival of the flag people a problem, which makes her, the boss, explain to the younger brothers.

"Slave Tie Liang (Yin Chang) visits the Queen Mother Lafayette, Lafayette is auspicious."

"Let's get up and talk. Is this Hangzhou general Futai dead or alive, do you understand? ”

"This, back to Lafayette." Yin Chang had no choice but to reply stubbornly: "According to the report, when the accident happened four days ago, someone saw a small canopy boat from the back garden of Futai through the water gate into the river, and then disappeared. According to the report of the governor of Zhejiang, the messengers cleaned up the city, but found no trace of Futai and his eldest son and second son, and the captured thieves did not report any signs of abducting Futai and others. ”

"It seems that this damn slave has run away, and sent a document to arrest him, whether he lives or dies." Cixi has restrained herself and has not been mad, of course, she has no strength to be mad, "What is going on in Hangzhou City, can you figure it out?" ”

"Back to Lafayette, it was originally a spring drought and summer flood, and the hungry people made trouble, and the grain merchants in Hangzhou took the opportunity to raise the price of grain. Hangzhou general Futai rashly sent troops to suppress it, but was defeated by the rebellious party hidden among the hungry people with firearms, and the battalion suffered heavy casualties, which is also the reason why there was no spare strength to deal with the thieves later. Yin Chang continued to play.

"This Futai is really innocent." Cixi hated it so much that the roots of her teeth itched. "Let's go on"

"Wow." Yin Chang wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and said in his heart Brother Futai can't help it, you can take this big sin yourself, little brother, I am also a businessman" The hungry people besieged the city for many days, until the night of the fourth day, hundreds of chaotic parties should open the city gate, first attack the yamen and barracks with guns and artillery, and then put in a large number of hungry people from the party, and looted and burned all the people with white flags in my city. The figure given by the Zongren Mansion is 1,141 households, 2,748 ding, plus the old and weak women and children, a total of 8,873 people. A few days ago, on the official letter from the governor of Zhejiang to the household department, there were less than 110 young and strong people with white flags, and there were 3,000 hanging zeros left in Dingkou. ”

"The two armors with white flags are completely useless." Cixi said, and she also knew in her heart that the Eight Banners had long been abolished, and they were nothing more than a machine that ate grain and made dung. But even if he is a pig, isn't he also the bloodline of the Eight Banners? "Have you figured out the situation of this thief?"

"Tell Lafayette, this thief is led by King Yue, the first evil is Chen Shaoqiu and Bai Wenwei, and the rest of the Cao Gang, the Qing Gang, the Triad and other gangs are also among them, and the remnants of the self-improvement army of the Taizhou Mutiny last year also have a sentry to participate, and it is the city gate that they opened first over the wall and entered the city. That's ......"

"Didn't the self-improvement army be wiped out by Wu Chenxuan's Wuyi New Army last year?" Cixi vaguely remembered that last year's Taizhou Mutiny was caused by the Wuyi New Army to quell the rebellion. "How can there be such a remnant of evil and plague the township?"

"This, the minister remembers, around the autumn exercise last year, the Wuyi New Army did send troops to Taizhou to quell the rebellion, but the self-strengthening army descended and rebelled, there were more than 200 sergeants who killed the officer and fled, the Wuyi New Army also pursued and suppressed, Taizhou and other prefectures and counties were recovered, but these rebels became bandits, and under the continuous pursuit of the Wuyi New Army, they have been divided into two roads, one in the Jianghuai area, and the other road in the south of Anhui, this time Hangzhou slaughtered the city was done by them." Tie Liang is in charge of all the best things, and he is very precious about these things to suppress bandits and counterinsurgency. "The leader of this rebel army is called Li Jin, and there is also a representative of the rebel party, Wu Shigu, both of whom are said to be Qiao Fu's subordinates, and they are also part of the rebel party."

"Alas, the world of the Great Qing Kingdom is not peaceful, and we are full of people who don't cheer up anymore, let alone the country, and even the lives of our families are difficult to preserve." Cixi is also miserable in her heart, this Manchu man has nothing else to do except carry cages and birds, play ruthlessly, the huge Qing Kingdom relies on her to support an old lady, this Hangzhou City tens of thousands of Manchurians, thousands of young people were slaughtered overnight like pigs and sheep. It turned out that the spirit of "less than 10,000 people, more than 10,000 invincible" was wiped out by the three hundred years of Qingping.

"What Lafayette said is that the minions think that the formation and training of the new army in Manzhen is a top priority." Tie Liang took out a fold from his sleeve, "This is the excerpt from Wu Chenxuan of Shandong to the Ministry of War, saying that the 15,000 brave men of the new army trained before are already elite soldiers, with all the men and horses, and the guns and equipment are all foreign goods from Germany and England, with two guns in each hand and 100 fast guns." None of the officers above the battalion level were equipped with regular posts, so the imperial court was asked to send a full force to take over and form a new army in the middle of the army. ”

"Look at the meaning, although this cub Chen Xuan is a little arrogant, he still has a little conscience. The mourning family gave him the title of presidential officer of the Wuyi New Army in Jinan Prefecture, and he assured the mourning family at that time that within three or five years, he would definitely train a town full of their own army, and they would not need a penny of silver or a load of grain from the imperial court. At that time, the mourning family felt that he was still a sincere person among the Han people, so they allowed him. Chen Xuan is really a believer, and after only three years of hard work, he drummed out the mourning family, and handed over more than 10,000 soldiers to the imperial court without even beating him. Unlike some Han soldiers, asking for money and begging for weapons is positive, and letting him send a soldier is like digging out his heart and liver. ”

Tie Liang and Yin Chang didn't dare to talk, but it was the Beiyang bigwigs involved, and the ministry of the dynasty was not something that he could discuss casually. However, Cixi also felt that these two people were still young talents among the people, so she gave them a blow, so as not to break blindly without knowing the direction of the wind.

"Now Tie Liang is on an errand with both the military department and Beiyang, and he is really busy. As for the new army in this town, I think you should take care of it more in Yinchang. The co-ordinators and pipes below are all selected from our eight banners, and they are selected from the top of the top, regardless of whether they are on the top three flags or under the five flags, but as long as they can be used. This errand of employing people should be reported to the military department after the fact. Tell the minions that this errand is well done, the military power is tight, and the court has a heavy reward and reuse. If you mess up your errand, don't wander around this forty-nine city, and go back to Ningguta to guard the old camp. ”

"Huh" Tie Liang and Yin Chang looked at each other in private, and this thing was done. As for the tens of thousands of clansmen in Hangzhou City, they are not in their own banner anyway, so if they have more than enough heart but not enough strength, let him go.

The city of Hangzhou was broken, and the world was in an uproar. The court must always have an explanation, depreciate what should be degraded, and kill what should be killed. These are easy to do, but if 100,000 hungry people riot* and occupy the provincial capital, or occupy the provincial capital of the imperial court's gold and silver jars, then we must show an attitude.

It's a pity that although the imperial court is very determined, the surrounding troops are empty, Nanjing, Jiujiang, and Hubei are beyond the reach of the whip, and there are soldiers and generals in the north, but it takes a month or two to go down to the south of the Yangtze River, and the daylilies are cold.

I had no choice but to sacrifice the big move of 40 years ago, and allowed the squires of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to organize a group training and enter Hangzhou to suppress the bandits and quell the rebellion. Don't say that this trick is really tried, there are really many people who are willing to give up a few words of praise for the Manchu Qing aliens, and a few worthless tops who will leave their homes and businesses to form a group to fight monsters and level up.

This is not the will of the imperial court has just been issued, and the news came before the right time, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce and the squires of Hangzhou spontaneously organized a group training, and also hired gunners from the north as the head of the sect, after ten days of intensive training, they hurriedly went into battle, not to mention the outstanding achievements in suppressing bandits and quelling chaos. Not only the city of Hangzhou has been saved, but even the city of Hangzhou has been recovered, in addition to the hundreds of people who resist the king and are punished on the spot according to the law, the other huge thousands of hungry people have been led away by the porridge shacks set up by the squires.

Lafayette has seen countless bandits and chaos, but such a riot is really rare in his life, I don't know whether to praise these Hangzhou squires and businessmen for responding to the call of the central government, or to blame these hungry thugs for being so vulnerable. However, it is always a good thing that this peace does not cost the court a penny.

So the imperial court's decree came quickly, the establishment of the new army in eastern Zhejiang, the temporary formation of a town, correspondingly gave the six prefectures in eastern Zhejiang the authority to raise their own salaries, and the town control is the anti-rebellion in the East Ying returned from the study of Lu Shi high-achieving students - Zhang Shaozeng is also.
