Chapter 553: Is He Going to Wait for Death to Die?
"Gojo!"
In the West Palace, Gao angrily threw out a newly touched card in his hand, which was useless at all. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
A table of eight immortals made of yellow pears was placed under a glass window, and four women in plain clothes were preoccupied with the Great Wall under the service of several times the number of maidservants. The sunlight outside the house shines through the glass on the Gao family in the east, and in this palace, the people who can go out in plain clothes are all masters of status.
It's like these four in front of you. And although Gao's dress is simple, the gold and silver threads in the colorful embroidered peony butterfly pattern are shining in the sun, but it is very good to wipe out the three points of old-fashioned spirit brought by the stone blue pigment satin. It's called simplicity but not simplicity.
"Today's luck is really bad, it's always a bad hand, if it weren't for Concubine Wan to let me, the silver on the table would have been lost cleanly." There are four piles of silver on the table of the Eight Immortals, some large and some small, and the most confident is of course the Gao family, not only the silver of the size and the ingots, but also the gold of the ingots at the bottom.
"Oh, where am I letting the Queen Mother." Concubine Wan, the one who was allowed to go said that it should be Concubine Wan, she didn't tell a lie at all, she was telling the truth, she really didn't mean to let Gao's. Who doesn't know the rules of the latter poker game? That character is definitely nobler than that of a saint. Whoever deliberately let her definitely offend the Gao family. "My spirit is ......, it's really ......" I can't help but wander away.
In three days, the Emperor Taishang was about to set off for the north, and Chen Hui decided to take advantage of his body and bones to go to Beijing for a walk and take a look. The Forbidden City and the Old Summer Palace in Beijing are all his own, and if Chen Hui doesn't play it himself, he won't be willing to die.
And Chen Hui is leaving, and the Gao family is also going, and his palace concubines and Yingying Yanyan will all go together. Although Concubine Wan is still in the palace now, her heart has already flown out. Because who wouldn't want to go out there?
As soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea. Although the food and clothing of the palace concubines were extravagant, especially the favored palace concubines, their range of activities was also forbidden in the small court.
For Chen Hui to go out to play, the happiest person is not necessarily Chen Hui himself, but his concubines.
Besides, there are no one else in this palace who likes to play cards and freshly baked princesses, but this does not include Concubine Wan. She is a favorite concubine, and it is better to ponder Chen Hui's mind more when she has so much time to play cards, she plays cards more to please Gao. Who doesn't know that in this palace, the best way to please the Gao family is not to talk to her, nor to find something new to make her happy, but to accompany her to play cards on the Great Wall. It's better to win her!
Gao also knows that the purpose of Concubine Wan every time she comes to play cards with her, so every time she must pull Concubine Wan to play from morning to night. Grinding Chen Hui's concubine is also another of her hobbies.
However, if you pull your eyes up from the point where the four Gao are located and cross the high palace wall, you can find that in the huge West Palace complex, except for the Queen Mother Gao, who is quiet, the other courtyards are already busy nervously.
Chen Ming didn't expect Chen Hui to be so hot in Beijing, just after the tenth day of the new year, Chen Hui proposed to travel north. Then the time was set for the first day of March.
When the emperor and the queen mother travel, the safety work must at least be guaranteed, and the ships along the way, the escort police, and the supply of drinking water and food are the most basic. In the local pick-up, Chen Hui did not want to go straight to Beijing, but also stopped to stop and play along the way, such as Shandong Taishan. Chen Ming now also understands the psychology of his cheap father, the right has been handed over, his health is not good, the whole world is his own, when he was alive, the Chen family's family business was developed to the largest scale in the world, no matter how much credit he has, he is worthy of the ancestors of the Chen family. In this case, if you don't take advantage of the opportunity to still move, play well, take a walk and take a look, will he be waiting to die if he is alive?
Chen Ming handed over all this matter to Chen Er to take care of. Although Chen Zhongsheng does not have great literature and wisdom, he can serve people, and serve people comfortably, this is Xiang Neng's ability. And he still has a vision! This time, Chen Han replaced the old and the new, and Chen Er still sat firmly in the position of the Internal Affairs Department. is not frightened, and the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court; Go and stay unintentionally, and watch the clouds in the sky. Very composed.
……
From the crown prince to the emperor, whether in terms of real power or in name, Chen Ming became the first person in China.
But the world does not have to revolve around him, Chen Ming has to use his own efforts and practical actions to promote the world, and now he is doing two major things, the first is the issuance of banknotes; The second is the issue of North Korea.
The former is a major event related to Chen Han's future national politics, and the latter Chen Ming has not yet made up his mind. The development of the situation in North Korea was a bit unexpected by Chen Ming, although Li Hao had not yet reached the point of betraying his relatives, there were still many people in the group who chose to leave. Many Korean magnates and leaders of the rebel army have expressed their inability to accept the fact that Yi Yi is their own monarch, and this shame is very high.
The only people who are still unswervingly surrounding Li Di are a group of sworn friends such as Anton Jin.
In the entire Joseon royal family of the Lee family, in the past five generations, there is only one bare-bones left, Li Yuhe, who must not be killed and imprisoned. Because Li Yu has the remaining work, the most important job is to give birth to a son. The stain on his body can never be washed away, so he is seen as a fertility tool to work for the heirs of the next generation of the Lee family.
Of course, Chen Ming didn't want Li Yu to give birth to a son, and now the situation in North Korea is very favorable to China, if Li Yu dies, even if the direct bloodline of the entire North Korean royal family is extinct, there are not a few side branches left in the five suits, which is much more powerful than the heir of the little devil emperor, and there is no close branch with a closer bloodline.
Isn't North Korea a dish in a Chinese bowl at that time?
It is also for this reason that in order to 'avoid suspicion', Chen Ming, China cannot take over Li Hui's security. Li Hao must be under the protection of the North Koreans themselves, and then he will not be able to give birth to a son, so as to clear China's suspicions.
Chen Ming can't make up his mind right now, how to deal with Li Hao is in his own interests? If Li Hao really gave birth to a son under the protection of the North Koreans, it would be very bad.
"Your Majesty, there is a couple from Siam that the British have transported at least three thousand muskets and formed a new army for Burma."
Chen Ming was talking to his cheap Lao Tzu about Outer Mongolia, and he nodded slightly when he heard the words, and he ignored Britain and France for the time being, so he didn't know, and he was still waiting for the gunfire from Lexington in North America.
"Father. Jebtsundamba III has been dead for two years this year, and the reincarnated spirit child should have been 'found'. "The news from Outer Mongolia is that the Khalkha Mongol princes have asked the 8th Tatsuse to appoint a reincarnated spirit child. And the latter is only seventeen years old, has not yet received the bhikshu ordination, that is, has not yet been 'pro-government', it can be said that he is just a thing that does not control the real power, and it is very interesting who this reincarnated spirit boy who is about to be designated by the eighth Tatsuse.
If Chen Ming remembers correctly, there are several rumors in history that Taise died when he was underage, so in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was a difference of four generations between Taise and Bantang, who were not much different in age.
It's just that Chen Ming can't remember what happened to him. But this reflects at least one aspect of the complexity of the political struggle in Tibet. Coupled with the revolution of heaven and earth, it happened to catch up with this stall, and 99% of the fourth Jebtsundamba Hutuketu would be from a Tibetan aristocratic background. In Chen Han's world, in the current situation, compared with the Manmeng family, the Mongolian and Tibetan families are more worthy of expectation, but they don't know which family will fall on.
Although Chen Hui is reluctant to get involved in government affairs anymore, his identity, the emperor, is a very powerful weapon in itself. is also qualified to grasp the Jingzhangjia III matchmaking and hooking up with Outer Mongolia.
"The cavalry team sent to Outer Mongolia last year is preparing to enter Outer Mongolia again." More than 5,000 people of the First Cavalry Brigade led by Chen Kaishan marched north from Zhangjiakou last year, and they had already entered Lake Baikal in the summer.
But for various reasons, the Cossacks of southern Baikal retreated to the north. The greatest achievement of the 1st Cavalry Brigade was the complete destruction of Verkhniy Udinsk and the burning of four Cossack villages.
The Cossacks at the southern end of Lake Baikal retreated to the north.
When Chen Kaishan led his troops to Outer Mongolia, the news of their dispatch became known to the Russians. At that time, the Russians had just sent a force to the east, just to attack the new Jiangkou, and the emptiness of the local forces in the Baikal area had reached a limit.
Fortunately, however, they also placed a Turhut cavalry in the outer northeast, and the leader of the team was not interested in fighting for the Manchus. Although he received orders from Grigory Aleksandrovich Potemkin to fight with the Qing army in the northeast, Zebok Dorzi kept his troops at the junction of the Yablonov Mountains and the Trans-Khingan Mountains.
Knowing that the cavalry troops sent by the Fu Han army were about to launch an attack on Lake Baikal, Zebok Dorji was very happy in his heart, but he could only move to the northern end of Lake Baikal with his troops. And in Kyakhta, the center of Sino-Russian trade, the Russians amassed a force of about 1,000 men, more than half of whom were local Buryats, about 300 Cossacks, and the rest were Russians from Irkutsk Province. Yes, the Russians have officially established a province on Lake Baikal just ten years ago.
Of course, the miscellaneous force of 1,000 men is at an absolute disadvantage in the face of the 1st Cavalry Brigade, but this is already the maximum strength that Russia can show in a limited time. And the reason why Irkutsk's overseer Alex Igna still fought this battle was entirely out of the Russians' contempt for the Chinese cavalry. The war of the Cossacks for the capture of all of Siberia went too easily, and the combat effectiveness of the declining nomadic cavalry was like a joke. For more than 100 years, they have always maintained relative peace with the four Khalkha tribes of Outer Mongolia, and it is entirely because the number of people on both sides is too different.
How can there be two or three hundred thousand people in the four parts of Outer Mongolia, and how many people are in Russia on Lake Baikal? Even if the local Buryats are counted, they are far less powerful than the four tribes of Outer Mongolia.
Then the patchwork of the Russians gathered in Kyakhta, which could not even support it for two hours, was beaten by the 1st Cavalry Brigade and collapsed, and then the local Russian forces withdrew completely north under the orders of the Irkutsk governor. Even Uginsk [Ulan-Ude], a city located on the "trade route" of Russia to China and Mongolia, was decisively abandoned by the Russians. This is one of the main centers of commerce and trade of Russians in the Baikal region.
Chen Kaishan did not know geography and did not dare to fully trust the Outer Mongolians and Buryats. At that time, Chen Kaishan was faced with the choice of whether to go east or west, and the Turk cavalry at the northern end of Lake Baikal began to move south, and the news was transmitted by the Buryats, but Chen Kaishan did not know how many troops there were. The center of Russian domination in the Baikal region was the Irkutsk fortress in the western part of Lake Baikal, where the Russian retreat at the southern end of Lake Baikal gathered. It was supposed to be a wooden fortress built by the Cossacks, but after a hundred years, the fortress became a city, and the main forces of the Russians were included in the city.
At that time, it was less than June, and Chen Kaishan could have a big wave with the Russians, and he also made the decision to ignore the Turkut cavalry and fight a wave of Irkutsk. As a result, a group of Buryats, who lived between Lake Baikal and Khalkha Mongolia, surrendered to Chen Kaishan at this time, and then took advantage of the retreat of the Russians to move south with cattle and sheep.
After the seizure of the pastures on Lake Baikal by the Cossacks, the Buryats had to move south and west, in the southern part of Eastern Siberia, in the south-central part of the later Republic of Buryatia, where the Buryats now operate. The region has a well-developed water system, and many rivers flow into Lake Baikal. Meadows, swamps, and intermountain basins are the main terrains. Most of the area is covered by forests, and only the southern part is grassland and semi-forest and semi-grassland areas.
The Buryats themselves were not purely nomadic, and the Secret History of the Mongols mentions them as a tribe of forested people who had been subjugated by Jochi, called the Buriyati. The hunting and fishing industry is no less important in their lives than animal husbandry! After the defeat in the initial battle with the Russians, a group of Buryats moved south to Inner Mongolia, where they were absorbed by the Manchus and given the name Balhu. Among the Chahar Eight Banners that have surrendered are some of the Balhu people.
The sudden defection of these Buryats disrupted Chen Kaishan's plan to continue the offensive, because as the Russians retreated from the southern tip of Lake Baikal, many of the nobles and herdsmen of the Tushetu and Chechen tribes to which the Khalkha Mongols belonged rushed to Lake Baikal with their cattle and sheep. Bilateral rivalries inevitably arise and conflicts arise.
By the time Chen Kaishan had dealt with the matter, the time had entered mid-July, and the frost on Lake Baikal had come down.
Chen Kaishan had no choice but to suspend military operations, and the large army retreated to Kulen first, and the main force retreated to Inner Mongolia before September.
Although Chen Kaishan lived up to Chen Ming's expectations and did not deal much damage to the Russians on Lake Baikal at all, their appearance, especially the battle of Kyakhta, and the subsequent arson and burning of Verkhniy Udinsk, played a great deterrent role in Outer Mongolia.
Don't look at the territory of Outer Mongolia, their strength is far worse than that of Inner Mongolia. The relatively harsh climate and social development have restricted the growth rate of the population in Outer Mongolia.
Five thousand elite cavalry is already an absolutely powerful force. Moreover, the 1st Cavalry Brigade also showed strong combat effectiveness.
"After Waimeng finds the spirit child, if his brain is not broken, he will definitely report to the Central Plains. If we agree with their candidate this time, Outer Mongolia will probably surrender. Chen Hui still has this bit of political wisdom. Of course, this is only to envelop Outer Mongolia in their hands, just like the Manchu Qing Dynasty did with Outer Mongolia, more of a 'peaceful', and the actual rights of Outer Mongolia still belong to the Mongolian nobles.
There is still a long way to go if we want to transfer the population and land of Outer Mongolia and Inner Mongolia from the tribal system to the 'county system' and change the land to the stream.
"I'm in Beijing, so I can take a trip to Chengde if necessary." In that case, Outer Mongolia will definitely send someone to come.
Therefore, Chen Hui's northward trip, although the main body is to play and play, he also has to shoulder the responsibility when necessary.
The establishment of the capital of Nanjing has a hundred advantages over Beijing, but in the case of Mongolia, the inconvenience is also real. The matter was discussed, and Chen Ming immediately left the West Palace, and he still had a lot of things to deal with.
Such as the upcoming issuance of banknotes!
As for Li Hui's matter, he himself doesn't want to leave China now, right? As the only direct heir of the Lee family's North Korea, of course, China cannot kill him, but there are many people in North Korea who want to kill him. Not to say that it is to avenge the king, but only to say that it is ambition is enough for many people to act at any cost.
With no heir to the North Korean royal family, what can China do? A new king? Or is it looking for a successor with royal blood from the side branches that have already come out of the five suits? In any case, there are a lot of motives for killing Li Hao. Now Chen Ming wants him to go back to Jeju Island and North Korea, and Li Yu will not go back.
……
Sungkyun Public School's dormitory for the first class of the second grade.
A group of powerful children who had come to the school from their homes gathered around Chen Ding and looked at the banknotes in his hand with amazement.
"That's the money, huh?"
"It's kind of like a Golden Dollar ticket!"
"It's different from the Golden Dollar Ticket, which is numbered, but it doesn't have it. There's a watermark here, though. Looking at this piece of white, looking at the sun, there is a dragon ......" Chen Ding held a brand-new hundred-yuan bill in his hand. By the time he returned to the palace from school, paper money had been spread throughout China. (To be continued.) )
