Chapter 320: Sealing the Northland

Xianfeng's plan to pretend to be drunk did not come true, and because his own acting skills were not up to par, he finally debunked the trick. But Guo Xing'a was not alert because he found out that Xianfeng was cheating, and he did not refuse or shirk, but said very cautiously that he needed to think about it for a few days. This made the scheming Xianfeng a little ashamed, and he felt a little emotional, although Guoxinga was not inferior, he still had national affairs in mind.

Xianfeng's move is not clever at all, it is still the rest of his ancestors' play. Guo Xing'a can't afford to provoke him at the moment, so he can only coax him. But if you put it under your nose, you can neither be safe nor weakened. Therefore, Xianfeng learned from his ancestors, and the Qing Dynasty has always been this way to deal with the military leaders, and the names and lords are ruthless, and the requirements are also met as much as possible, but the military leaders and his army must be sent to the old and young border and poor areas. The Qing Dynasty only had this kind of military head problem when it was founded, and the strategy of the imperial court was this set, and the Yunnan-Guizhou, Fujian, and Guangdong of the three feudatories were all poor areas for the old and the young at that time.

Lock up the army of the army leader in a poor place, and then waste time, consume all their strong generals to death, and consume the elite soldiers into veterans, and the problem of the army leader will be solved. Although Shunzhi's method did not have a good effect because of Kangxi's impatience, it at least played a certain role, and Xianfeng learned it from Shunzhi.

The reason why Xianfeng said these words through wine was that he was worried that Guo Xing'a would be shocked and then have a change. After all, no one is a fool, Heilongjiang is cold and poor, and Guo Xing'a will definitely not want to go. Carrying the matter of resisting the decree, Guo Xing'a will definitely do it, not to mention that he can still find an excuse to shirk. Xianfeng just gave it a try, and he didn't have much hope, but Guo Xing'a's attitude made Xianfeng see hope. Guo Xing'a didn't mean to refuse at all, but was thinking about this problem seriously, and Guo Xing'a was really tempted.

After Guo Xing'a returned to the camp, in less than half a cup of tea, Pi Runmin and others cleaned up Xianfeng's sinister intentions, and none of them agreed that Guo Xing'a took over Heilongjiang. Even if you have to be blocked, you have to find a place in Jiangnan, and it must be places like Zhejiang and Guangdong. But Goxinga really wants to go to the Northeast for two reasons. Although Guoxinga may not be able to recover his homeland in the past, there is still some hope, and if he does not go, then the Outer Northeast will definitely belong to the old Russian Maozi. The second is Guoxing's personal reason, the current Guoxing'a is from Gu'an, that is, from Hebei, but Ye Guo in his previous life is a native of the Northeast. Although it is not as north as Heilongjiang, the so-called Shanhaiguan, the three provinces are one, and Heilongjiang is also the northeast. Although this place is a little harder, poorer, colder, and less populous, for Goxinga, it is his home, his hometown, and his paradise.

In the midst of opposition, Guo Xing'a dictatorship again, and he decided to agree to Xianfeng's request to leave Heilongjiang. Pi Runmin and others tried to persuade them to no avail, so they had to start studying the issue of price code. have been assigned to the icy Heilongjiang, of course, you have to pay a considerable amount of benefits to Xianfeng, otherwise it will be too much of a loss. Moreover, it is not too much to say that Heilongjiang is now the front line, there are many affairs in total, and without the support of the Guannei, Guoxinga is likely to collapse and sink into the sand. was borrowed by Xianfeng by Lao Maozi's hand and killed Guo Xing'a, if that happens, the gains outweigh the losses.

Three days later, Guo Xing'a gave Xianfeng a five-inch thick twist and made a comprehensive plan for him to take charge of Heilongjiang. Of course, this is also a thick quotation, Xianfeng has to give Guo Xing'a enough benefits according to the things on the quotation, and the deal can be negotiated, otherwise everything is the same as not said.

First of all, there is the issue of the authority of the jurisdiction, and the affairs with Russia not only involve Heilongjiang, but Jilin also has a large share, so Guoxinga asked that a part of Jilin's border with Russia also be assigned to him, and he also needs the full cooperation of Fengtian. At the same time, the three leagues of Zhelimu, Zhuosuotu, and Zhaowuda in Inner Mongolia are bordered by the northeast, and are good grazing land and animal supply areas, and Guoxinga needs to include them under its jurisdiction. Goxinga and his advisers also planned the deployment in the event of a war against Russia, in which Goxinga demanded that General Uriya Sutai be restrained in wartime to ensure the integrity of the entire northern defense line.

Although Xianfeng also saw Guo Xing'a's good intentions, as long as he was a normal person, he would feel that Guo Xing'a was opening his mouth in the lion. If Goxinga's request is accepted in its entirety, all of Outer Mongolia, the eastern part of Inner Mongolia, and the entire three eastern provinces will belong to Goxinga. Xianfeng just wants to drive away Guoxing'a, and he is reluctant to spend such a large amount of money.

However, since it was a sale, the two sides had to talk, and after some very restrained negotiations, there was a very decent result. Heilongjiang is naturally Guoxing'a's, and Jilin doesn't need to be petty, and the whole is also owned by Guoxing'a, and Guoxing'a is also the general of Heiji. But Fengtian, where Taizu Taizong's mausoleum is located, can't be given to Guoxing. If there is really a war against Russia, General Uriya Sutai will be restrained by Guoxinga as a deputy marshal during the war, but the two are still at the same level, and the court will judge if there are differences of opinion. The Inner Mongolia Three Leagues, Guoxinga can collect horses and livestock from this place, and the three leagues need to fully cooperate, but Guoxinga has no jurisdiction over it. After all, Monk Greenqin was born in the Horqin Left Wing Rear Banner, and if Guo Xing'a got his hometown away, Monk Greenqin's face would not look good.

The second is policy and financial support. Guo Xing'a proposed to move all the banner people in Gu'an's hometown to Heilongjiang, putting on a posture of breaking the kettle and sinking the boat. No matter how poor he is, Gu'an is also a prosperous place in Gyeonggi, which is definitely stronger than the bitter cold Heilongjiang, Guoxing'a wants to endure hardships with the whole clan, and it is also a sign of his own determination not to break Loulan and not to return it. Since there is such an attitude, Xianfeng must give policy and financial support. The most important thing was to fully open Jilin and Heilongjiang, allow Han Chinese to enter the two places for reclamation, and the imperial court also encouraged immigration. Guoxinga wants to develop industry and commerce in the two places, and in terms of policy, the imperial court should not only not get in the way, but also encourage and support it. Guoxinga also promised Xianfeng that he would regain the lost territory in ten years, and in return, Xianfeng would inject 8 million taels of capital into Guoxinga every year.

The ancestral land of the Aixin Jueluo family is in Fengtian, so Guoxing's toss in Jilin and Heilongjiang is bigger, and Xianfeng can still bear it. However, eight million taels a year, and ten years to give, Xianfeng will be a little painful. Of course, after friendly negotiations, there was still a mutually acceptable result. The imperial court allocated 8 million taels a year, but it was only given for the first five years, and it was reduced to 4 million taels in the next five years.

Finally, there is the issue of foreign affairs. The war against Russia must involve naval warfare, and Goxinga has no ability to build ships, and the navy and shipyards have to buy foreigners, so the imperial court cannot interfere with Goxinga's trade with foreigners. At the same time, as a garrison for the navy and shipyards, Guoxinga asked that Mukden's Lushun be assigned to him, and that the treaty port of Yingkou should also be taken care of by him. And in Fengtian, it is necessary to ensure the smooth transportation between Heiji and Yingkou and Lushun.

Xianfeng is a headache when it comes to foreigners, Guoxinga is willing to deal with foreigners, Xianfeng of course has no opinion, Guoxinga and foreigners start from the dispute, and it is good to end up together! Yingkou is a village in Xianfeng's eyes, Guo Xing'a wants it, but Xianfeng certainly doesn't care. Lushun is the jurisdiction of the Yamen, the deputy capital of Jinzhou, but this time the British and French forces once broke through here, and it was already dilapidated. Guoxinga wanted this mess, Xianfeng didn't care, and simply assigned all the south of Jinzhou to Guoxinga, and also assigned all the nearby islands to Guoxinga.

However, there was a disagreement between the two sides on transportation, and Xianfeng would never agree with the wanton activities of the people of Guoxing'a in the territory of Mukden, but the things of Yingkou and Lushun could not fly to Heiji. Guoxinga is preparing to build a railway, and Xianfeng will naturally not agree to die. However, the information held by the imperial court is comparable to that of Guoxing Aduo, and Su Shun and others provided a suitable transportation route, which is the Liaohe River transportation. In the third year of Xianfeng, the Liaohe River has been able to reach the northernmost Tieling of Fengtian from the Sancha River, and a little further north is Jilin. Then it was soon agreed that the transportation problem would be borne by the Liaohe River, and the imperial court would be responsible for improving the Liaohe River from Tieling to Jilin. However, the river transportation of the Liao River is limited to the Liao River, that is, from Yingkou through Tianzhuangtai, up to the Sancha River, and then take the Outer Liao River into the Liao River, through Liaozhong, Xinmin, Tieling, Kaiyuan, until Zhengjiatun. Guoxinga can send troops to maintain the river, but it is not allowed to stay five miles away from the river, and it is not allowed to enter the channels of the Hunhe River and the Taizi River. In short, Goxinga's subordinates could only operate in restricted areas, but they were never allowed to approach Shengjing, nor could they take the opportunity to enter other areas of Mukden.

Both sides were full of sincerity, and naturally there was a result quickly, and after two days of bargaining, the holy decree was quickly issued. Jiaguoxing A Bing Department Shangshu title, named Dingyuan General, Heilongjiang General and Jilin General, and in charge of the military affairs of the Lushun Water Division and Yingkou trade affairs, and assisted in the Liaohe River. As for the control of General Uriya Sutai, the supply of livestock by the three leagues of Inner Mongolia, the opening of the wicker border ban, and the annual appropriation of funds, other decrees were promulgated.

This is a win-win ending, Guoxinga got the coveted base, and it is also a vast and fertile Northeast China, and he began to fantasize about developing the Great Northern Wilderness, and Xianfeng finally went to a big trouble. Guo Xing'a is very cooperative with Xianfeng's distribution, which shows that Guo Xing'a has at least no disobedience now, and is still diligent in the king's affairs. And Guo Xing'a accepted Xianfeng's appointment, which is equivalent to completely falling to Xianfeng in the brotherly dispute between Xianfeng and Yixin, and will no longer become Yixin's sharp blade to threaten Xianfeng. At the same time, Guo Xing'a went to the northern frontier, and he fell into a corner, and in the future, Xianfeng could easily solve him with the strength of the country. Moreover, Guoxinga also has to face the Russians, defeat Lao Maozi, Xianfeng will calm the external troubles, and if Guoxinga Xianfeng is disabled, the internal strife will be quelled, if both sides are defeated, Xianfeng can sit on the fisherman's profits.

Guo Xing'a returned to the camp with a basket of victories in his hand, and began to arrange for the army to be drawn and the relocation of Gu'an. But this arrangement is one and a half months, Guoxinga is going to order the arsenal to stop production and pack, but Xianfeng has never let him take office, or three days, a big banquet, five days and a small banquet left him in Chengde. Guoxing looked forward to the stars and the moon, hoping that he was going to become a wangfu stone, Xianfeng still left him in Chengde, and he was a little reluctant to let him go.

Guo Xing, who couldn't wait, ran to ask Su Shun, but the answer he got was not yet time. Guo Xing'a in the clouds couldn't figure out what Xianfeng was thinking, until he found a very inconspicuous news in the Di newspaper.
