Qi Liaozao, a scholar of Tiren Pavilion University, was shocked and hurriedly dissuaded: "Your Majesty, don't do it!" ”

The elderly Qi Liaozao shook his white beard, but his voice was unusually rich: "Weichen knows that the emperor is worried that the court has no soldiers, but my Qing Dynasty is now empty in the treasury, and if the army is expanded again, it will not be able to pay the soldiers' salaries at all. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Prince Zheng Duanhua also came out and said: "Yes, the emperor, what the scholar said, the words of the old man to seek the country." Now I don't have many Manchurian and Mongolian banner soldiers in the Qing Dynasty, if I add more Han soldiers, I am afraid it will be difficult to control, and if those Han soldiers do not listen to the command, it will be difficult to fall. The rebellion of the three feudatories is a lesson from the past. The emperor, Shizu and Iron Horse King Dolgon once had a will, saying that if I can't defend Beijing City in the Qing Dynasty, even if I retreat to Shengjingzu outside the Guan, I can't raise Han soldiers and create a situation of evil slaves and bullying masters. ”

Xianfeng's face twitched, he originally wanted to hold back his anger, but now he couldn't bear it anymore and was furious: "Duanhua, I see that you have been an idle prince for a long time, and you have too many money, and your brain is confused!" ”

Xianfeng slapped the imperial case, stood up, and shouted angrily: "The Qing Dynasty is about to be beaten to the capital, what kind of ancestral system, what kind of combat power did the Eight Banners soldiers of Shizu and Tiemaozi Regent have at that time?" What is the combat power of today's Eight Banners? Duanhua, it's not that you don't know. Otherwise, you will lead the infantry camp of the Beijing Division and go to exterminate the Cantonese thieves, how about it? ”

Duanhua kowtowed again and again, not daring to say more.

Su Shun saw that his brother Duanhua was embarrassed, so he hurriedly stepped forward to relieve the siege, and said: "The emperor is wise! The soldiers of the Qing Dynasty were low in combat effectiveness, and now they had to change to the point where they had to change. However, the servants thought that if there was a large-scale expansion of troops, with the taxes of the imperial court, the treasury would be empty, and it would be difficult to afford it. Especially now that the entire Jiangnan tax area is occupied by Cantonese thieves, it is impossible to support a large-scale expansion of the army. Therefore, the minions suggested that the imperial court could create a new Praetorian Guard with new firearms to deal with these thieves. ”

When Xianfeng heard this, he suddenly felt reasonable.

Now the Qing Dynasty is in a difficult state situation, especially the area south of the Yangtze River is occupied by Cantonese thieves, most of the transportation has been cut off, the supply of grain in the south of the Yangtze River has also been cut off, and the taxes will be greatly reduced. In fact, Xianfeng has heard that the treasury on the side of the household department is already in an emergency, but because he has been in poor health recently, he has not played it to himself.

"Yuting's words are deeply in line with my meaning. In this case, Yuting, I will order you to form a Praetorian Guard, named the 'Shenji Battalion', and you will be the commander of the Shenji Battalion. The elite of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, Mongolia, Han Army and Forward, Protector Army, Infantry Army, Firearms, and Jianrui Battalions were selected for the selection, and the number was tentatively 15,000 people. But where did you find this new type of firearm? Xianfeng ordered.

Su Shun had already prepared, and after thanking Xie Longen, he talked eloquently: "Your Majesty, the previous ministers bought more than 100 foreign guns from Shanghi, and now they have ordered the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry Yu Hengqing to imitate them, and dozens of them have been formed, although they are still slightly lacking, but they are also considered to be successful imitations." It's just that making a foreign gun costs a lot of silver and time. ”

In fact, it is a lot of money. Su Shun also did not know which foreigners managed to produce them in batches, and the craftsmen of Yu Heng Qing Officials said that it took twenty or thirty taels of silver to make a foreign gun, and that it would not produce a few in a month. However, of course, Su Shun will not tell the truth.

Of course, he didn't know that foreigners relied on machines to produce accessories and then assemble them manually, in his opinion, it didn't matter if they spent more silver taels, it would take a lot of time? There are more craftsmen sent over there, and some of them are craftsmen in the Qing Dynasty.

"That's fine. Aiqing, you will take some thought and keep an eye on it. Build the 'Shenji Battalion' as soon as possible. Xianfeng remembered that Su Shun was already a squire of the Ministry of Works, and came up with two good ideas one after another, so he said: "Prince Gong, there is still a lack of a military aircraft in your military aircraft department, I think Su Shun is more suitable, so let him walk in the military aircraft department." ”

Hearing Xianfeng Jinkou, he was promoted to the military aircraft, although he was just walking, but he was also one of the ministers of military aircraft. Su Shun hurriedly bowed to the ground, shouted long live the mountain, and thanked Xianfeng's Longen.

Yi Xun was thinking about it, the emperor has been in bad health recently, and he has been responsible for himself, I thought that the emperor had relaxed his vigilance against himself and began to value himself, but he didn't expect that now he has transferred Su Shun to the military plane, presumably to contain himself.

Xianfeng was a little sleepy, he was weak, it was rare to be able to hold on for so long, he really wanted everyone to disperse, but Prince Yi Zaiyuan raised a problem.

"The emperor, the former Japanese military aircraft department received a bloody memo written by the minister of the Qincha, Tuo Ming'a, impeaching the governor of Liangjiang Yiliang and fleeing without a fight, together with Admiral Chen Jinshou, the criminal department squire Lei Yiyan, the chief soldier Chen Shengyuan, Qin Dingsan and other senior officers, cowardly and afraid of war, resulting in the two cities of Danyang and Zhenjiang being conquered one after another, and also involved the Jiangbei camp was broken by thieves. Ask the imperial court to arrest and investigate all the above people. ”

However, at the same time, the Military Aircraft Department also received a joint letter from the Liangjiang Governor Yiliang, the joint criminal department attendant Lei Yixuan, the commander Chen Jinshou, the chief soldier Chen Shengyuan, and Qin Dingsan, a total of five people, sent a bullet to impeach the minister of the Qincha, Tuo Ming'a, who was a saintly grace, but as the main general, he ignored the emperor's duties and fled the Jiangbei camp, resulting in a crushing defeat of the army and the destruction of the Jiangbei camp. Ask the imperial court to escort him to Jingshi and convict and behead him! ”

The mutual impeachment between the minister of the Qin Mission, Tuo Ming'a, and the governor of Liangjiang, Yiliang, because both of them are the heads of the Five Banners and are members of the Red Banner Clan, and he Zaiyuan is the Minister of the Guard, and the Zongren Mansion is Zongzheng, which can be regarded as an important minister headed by the court.

Hearing this, Xianfeng was furious: "These two dog minions are embarrassed to bite each other." I just want to shirk my responsibilities and transfer my anger to others! ”

After several defeats and many twists and turns, Xianfeng saw it very thoroughly, and he could see the clues at a glance.

"Spread my will, remove Tomin A's post as a messenger, remove the governor of Yiliang Liangjiang, temporarily announce that he will leave his post and stay in office, and when the war is calmed down, he will escort all two of them into Beijing to wait for their fate. The others were all resigned from their posts and retained, and they were ordered to make meritorious contributions. With a wave of his hand, Xianfeng sent a group of people to hell.

Seeing Xianfeng's final word, everyone didn't dare to say more, and they didn't dare to defend Yiliang and Tuo Minga and others.

The crowd dispersed, and Xianfeng left Yixun, Zaiyuan and Sushun behind.

He finally saw it, and now only these three people are really planning for the Qing Dynasty.

Xianfeng was worried about the affairs of Shengjing's ancestral land.

"Sixth, there has been no letter from Shengjing's side for a while, what is going on, has the long hair withdrawn?" Xianfeng asked the foreman Prince Gong and the Minister of Military Aircraft.

Yixun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, half a month ago, there was an urgent report for help from Shengjing City, and after that, there was no news. According to the deputy capital of Jinzhou, it was said that the area around Fengtianfu was blocked by long-haired thieves, and the news could not be passed. However, nearly 30,000 elite soldiers with full flags are stationed in Shengjing City, and the long-haired thieves should not dare to invade Shengjing City! ”

Xianfeng said angrily: "Did General Shengjing Yixing escort him to Beijing?" This dog minion actually let the long-haired thieves wreak havoc in my ancestral land, what a crime deserves death! When he arrives, I'm going to kill this dog minion alive. The sixth child, passing on my will, ordered Heilongjiang General Yinglong and Jilin General Jingchun to quickly lead the flag soldiers of the two places and march to Shengjing, and be sure to defeat the long-haired thieves in Fengtianfu! ”

Xianfeng's heart is really on fire. You must know that Shengjing is the birthplace of the Qing Dynasty and the old capital. If even Shengjing City is breached, not only will the face of the Qing Dynasty be lost, but even the final retreat will be gone! This is the last place of life for the Manchu bannermen.

Moreover, the most important thing is that Xianfeng is worried about the ancestral tombs of the Aixinjue Luo family in the Qing Dynasty, the safety of Yongling, Fuling, and Zhaoling.

But we must not let these three ancestral tombs be destroyed by the long-haired thieves, then he will have no face to claim to be surnamed Aixin Jueluo.
