Chapter 169: Three Chincha

"This is a little maid in Changfu. My lady has not had a serving girl so far, I see that she is smart and clever, and I want to give her to my lady to use, do you have a problem? Yang Xiaoshan's face did not change color.

Yang Fuqing coughed, and said with an embarrassed face: "Shizi, I'm afraid this is not in line with the rules." If the prince wants a maid, he has to apply to the top. This little maid has not yet gone to the women's camp to register and make a register, so she took it away directly, and her subordinates did not dare to agree. ”

Yang Xiaoshan didn't expect this Yang Fuqing to be so rigid, but it was difficult to argue with what people said, so he had to lower his body and whisper: "Can't you be accommodating?" I just think this little girl is suitable. ”

Yang Fuqing's face was straight, and he shook his head and said: "Don't embarrass your subordinates, your subordinates will do this errand, if they are all accommodating, how can they be this errand?" I also hope that the prince will understand the hard work of his subordinates. ”

Yang Xiaoshan was crazy, he really moved a stone and shot himself in the foot, how could he let this guy come to Changfu to raid his house, and Wei Changhui had already let himself take the little girl away. This time Yang Xiaoshan froze, he hadn't learned to bully others, people looked like they were doing business, Yang Xiaoshan really didn't know what to do, this is not going, not leaving.

Yang Fuqing saw Xiaoshan's contradictory mood, he quietly pulled Xiaoshan aside, and whispered: "If the prince really likes this little girl, you can go and ask the East King, you have made such a great contribution, how can the East King not agree?" There are so many people watching here, you take the little girl away, and your reputation is not good for the world. This little girl's subordinates will greet the women's camp by themselves, good food, drink, good clothing and good use are absolutely indispensable, but in a few days, why should the prince be in a hurry? ”

Yang Xiaoshan couldn't help but glance at this Yang Fuqing, and he couldn't imagine that this guy really had two brushes, not only maintaining a fair and selfless image in front of others, but also not offending himself, and thinking about it for himself. This matter can only be like this now, Yang Xiaoshan thought about it and said to Yang Fuqing: "I will hand over that person to you now, don't forget what you said." ”

"Shizi, don't worry, you are the only one who asks if you have one less hair." Yang Fuqing patted his chest and reassured.

Yang Xiaoshan turned around and comforted Yingzi and said, "Yingzi, this Yang Supervisor will take you to the women's camp to go through the formalities first." Don't worry, it's all women over there, and no one dares to bully you. You wait for me for a few days, and I'll go to the East King to bring you over. Your belongings will be confiscated if they are found at the women's camp. Well, I'll keep it for you for a few days, and I'll pay you back when I pick you up, and you trust me. ”

Yingzi was a little scared, Yang Fuqing came over and persuaded again: "This is Yingzi girl, Shizi told me about your situation, don't worry, just go to the women's camp to live for a few days, I will say hello over there, you will definitely not be wronged." ”

"Shizi, remember to pick me up, I'll wait for you." Yingzi knew that she had to go to the women's camp, so she was reluctant.

"Don't worry, I'll pick you up." Yang Xiaoshan agreed.

As soon as he left Changfu, Yang Xiaoshan rushed to the East King to ask for someone, but was stopped by the guards, "Shizi, Wuchang City has just been broken, and Dongwang has a lot of official business to do, please wait two days and come again, now Dongwang has no one." ”

Yang Xiaoshan had no choice but to say politely: "Please also inform the East King, just say that I have been here." ”

"The small one must be relayed." The guards respectfully sent Yang Xiaoshan back.

========================================

The city of Wuchang was broken, and the Qing court was shaken. This was the first time that the Taiping army had attacked a provincial capital, and it was a very important city. Wuchang is known as the thoroughfare of nine provinces, and the Taiping army took here, covering almost the entire Yangtze River basin, threatening Hunan in the north, Jiangxi in the south, Anhui and Jiangsu in the east, and Chongqing in the west.

When Emperor Xianfeng learned the news of the fall of Wuchang, his condition worsened a few points, and he coughed every night. This time, he did not summon the ministers, and only called Su Shun to the Qianqing Palace for deliberations.

"Aiqing, do you know why I just summoned you to discuss the matter?" Xianfeng looked at Su Shun with trust in his eyes.

"The minister is afraid, but the minister doesn't know." Su Shunkou said that he didn't know, but he actually knew everything in his heart.

"Because you will tell the truth, so many ministers, they are all guessing my mind and talking, but you dare to speak out. Now I ask you, can this bandit be exterminated? How long will it take to be eradicated? Xianfeng looked directly at Su Shun, wanting to hear him tell the truth.

"Chen Dou Guts, according to the current situation, I'm afraid this long hair is difficult to exterminate. The Green Battalion was corrupt, the military discipline was extremely poor, and there was almost no combat effectiveness in the face of long hair, so if you wanted to exterminate the bandits, you had to start from scratch and establish a new army. Su Shun still took care of the emperor's face, in fact, the Eight Banners were even more unbearable than the Green Camp.

"Starting anew? What do you mean? Xianfeng frowned and asked.

"The performance of the teams that went to support the provinces was really unsightly, not only did they not support the front line, but they also disturbed the local disaster and the township, and Jiang Zhongyuan's regimental training, although they were all new recruits, was quite outstanding and had strong combat effectiveness. What the minister means is that we can no longer rely on the green camp, and we have to let capable people lead the group training. If there are more capable ministers like Jiang Zhongyuan, why can't they exterminate the bandits? Su Shun replied.

"Who are you?" Xianfeng hurriedly asked.

"The minister recommended Zeng Guofan, Jiang Zhongyuan was recommended by him, and he was also his fellow villager and friend." Su Shun replied.

"Hanchen again?" Xianfeng was a little displeased, not allowing Han Chen to hold military power was an unwritten rule of the imperial court after Wu Sangui's rebellion. The Manchus never let down their vigilance against the Han people, for fear that the Han people would rebel after they seized military power.

Although Zeng Guofan is a Han Chinese, he has done a very good job of loyalty and filial piety, and his reputation in the DPRK is also very good. Special moments, we also need special treatment. At this time, if you want to turn the tide, don't care whether it is Manchu or Han, they all serve the imperial court, and if you are talented, you must be promoted and used, Your Majesty, are you right? Su Shun's words were his heartfelt words, and he lived up to Xianfeng's trust in him.

"You are the only one in this court who dares to recommend the Han people to form an army, if you let those princes and ministers, Manchu relatives and nobles know, don't tear your mouth!" Xianfeng sighed, he understood that what Su Shun said was the truth.

"The minister is thinking about His Majesty's Jiangshan Society, naturally what do you say, it is those relatives and nobles who have misled the country, when is this happening, and what is the Manchu Han?" Su Shun said frankly.

"That Zeng Guofan is just a literati, can he really lead troops?" Xianfeng was still a little worried.

"Today's military generals inevitably have some bad habits in the military camp, and the literati leading the troops just happened to establish a new military style, and the literati are good at planning and strategy, and dealing with bandits cannot be exterminated once or twice, but must be focused on the long term." Su Shun explained.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, let that Zeng Guofan try it. He is from Hunan, so let him hold a group practice in his hometown in Hunan. Xianfeng nodded.

"And that Xu Guangjin, Your Majesty, you asked him to replace Sai Shang'a as the minister of the Qin Mission, but he didn't move for a long time, Wuchang was lost, and he was still thousands of miles away." Su Shun lost no time in participating in the book of Xu Guangjin, the governor of Hu Guang.

"They are all old fritters in officialdom, they say good things, but they are all wise and self-protective, which is really hateful, and he is dismissed." Xianfeng scolded angrily.

"Your Majesty has to set up a few more. Now that the bandits are powerful, I am afraid that one messenger is not enough. Su Shun suggested.

"Aiqing is right, that Xiang Rong behaved well, let him be the minister of the Qincha, keep an eye on the bandits, and order him to recover Wuchang as soon as possible. In addition, let the governor of Henan, Qi Shan, be the minister of the Qincha, defend Henan for me, and order Lu Jianying, the governor of Liangjiang, to be the minister of the Qincha, to defend the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and never let the bandits enter the area south of the Yangtze River, which is the source of grain and taxes for our Qing Dynasty. Xianfeng was also heartbroken by the previous Qincha, and sealed the three Qincha in one go, hoping that the east is not bright, the west is bright, so many Qincha there is always one who can work.
