[Thanks to the 500 tip of 'Dandansan']

The city of Beijing in late autumn is lively, because the Mid-Autumn Festival is connected with the Queen Mother's thousand autumns, and then it is the Emperor's Long Birthday Christmas. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Even if the year of Daqingguo is far less than three years ago, the city of Beijing at this time is still very lively, and the convoys of tributes from all over the country are endlessly crowded outside Chongwen Gate every day.

In this year's Beijing City, the streets and alleys are full of people patrolling the camp, and the city gate is the top priority. All in order to prevent a repeat of last year's anti-party assassination activities of the Fu Han army. Although last year's assassination by the Fuhan military was only a few ordinary clan relatives, but it directly disturbed the big joy, didn't it?

In May of this year, Chen rebelled and became the king, and the sticky pole also sent people to make trouble, and the people who were dispatched were all dead. As a result, Lushan City was not able to enter, that is, there were two explosions in the southern suburbs of Lushan, killing and injuring several people. It's a bit more than worth the loss!

In the eyes of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, this is a typical report for a report, but people up and down Beijing are very afraid that when the Queen Mother is on Christmas, the secret camp of the Fu Han Army will repeat the old things.

The sky was as blue as a wash, like a sapphire washed with clean water. Yu Zecheng stood on the third floor of the restaurant, looking at the surrounding streets and alleys, with a relaxed smile on the corner of his mouth. This year, there was no letter for them to do it, and he just watched the Qing soldiers all over the street like a play, and he looked cautious and nervous.

Today, Yu Zecheng is wearing a silk horse coat on his upper body, and his lower body is blocked by the wall, so outsiders can't see it. Among the people walking downstairs, a few of them were still regular customers of Guangjuxuan, and when they saw Yu Zecheng, they bowed their hands and said hello.

No matter how hot the current performance of Beijing City is, in Yu Zecheng's opinion, it is full of seven points of hypocrisy. As the time entered August, bad news spread from the south to Beijing one after another, and the Guangdong naval divisions and the Fujian and Zhejiang naval divisions that were first assembled fought a great battle with the Zheng and Zhang coalition forces on the waters of Taiwan, but they did not achieve any gratifying results, but only re-separated Fujian from the Taiwan Strait. This year, the greatest contribution of the Guangdong sailors to the Manchu Qing Dynasty seems to be to escort the boats, going back and forth between Tianjin and Guangdong twice, and transporting small millions of stone of grain to Beijing.

Second, the regimental training and Qing troops assembled in southern Zhejiang only relieved the siege of Fuzhou, and if they wanted to attack the Tiandihui army in Fujian, they would have more than enough strength to do so. At the same time, Guangdong merged part of Guangxi's army and attacked Fujian, but only took Yunxiao Hall, and the progress of the war situation on the land route in Fujian was equally unsatisfactory.

Then there is Jiangnan. The main force of the retreating Fu Han army left a tail in Nanjing, with 20,000 people guarding three places, and the strength was thin. The Qing army surrounded and attacked for more than half a year, but failed to reap the slightest good news. They had been accumulating strength for two months in July and August, and in late August they launched a fierce assault on Zhenjiang and Yangzhou, and the result was still a sigh of admiration. The Qing army divided the connection between Nanjing and Zhenyang, but the naval division and fleet of the Fu Han army were still able to communicate the two along the Yangtze River.

Finally, there's the bad news from the central part of the country. The first part of the Fu Han army seized Xing'an Mansion, Chen Ming personally led the troops to seize Yichang, and the governor of Hubei, Fan Shishou, led the defeated troops to retreat to Nanjin Pass, but Zhu Jue was taken by Zhou Wenjue, the prefect of Yichang who surrendered to the Fu Han army, to ask for merit. When Fan Shishou's excerpt flew to the Forbidden City, and Emperor Qianlong was angry and wanted to punish Zhou Wenjue's nine clans, the local officials who ran errands found that Zhou Wenjue's relatives had long since disappeared, and even the side branches and in-laws had also fled. This has become a 'sign' of demotion!

At the same time, in mid-August, the soldiers and horses of Yunnan and Guizhou, which had gathered in Hunan, also launched an attack on Yueyang. failed to make any progress, and was taken advantage of by the Han army to seize Changde. When the Fu Han army, which had the advantage of being a sailor, attacked Changde across the entire Dongting Lake, the Qing army's reinforcements came to Xiangyin. If Dongting Lake was a circle, the Qing army would have only gone a quarter, and after the Fu Han army captured Changde, it was already packing up the spoils and preparing to go home.

In addition to the good news from Shandong, it was said that it was the defeat of Fan Mingde, the leader of the Mixed Yuan Sect, because of the matter of the old Master Confucius, Shandong Shilin hated the Mixed Yuan Sect to death. The Confucian family and Wang Qixu, the minister of Shandong League Training, also seem to have reached some agreement, calling on the vast number of scholars to unite as one and exterminate the rebellious Mixed Yuan Sect bandits, and the situation of the Mixed Yuan Sect is getting worse and worse. Luckily, it's winter soon.

In addition to this last glimmer of joy, the repeated 'bad news' has cast a deep shadow on the city of Beijing.

Yangxin Palace, under the plaque of Yongzheng Imperial Pen "Zhongzheng Renhe", Emperor Qianlong on the throne is much older than three years ago. Qianlong, who was nearly sixty years old at the time, was fierce and fierce, with red hair and black hair, just like a forty-year-old middle-aged man, and he couldn't see a trace of old age at all. Qianlong, who is now sixty years old, is like a real fifty or sixty-year-old man among the people, with loose skin and gray beard.

His Royal Highness's Manchu Qing officials watched Qianlong grow old day by day, but they didn't feel anything. But few people know that the glass mirrors in the huge harem of the Forbidden City have all disappeared in the past two or three years.

The entire harem of the Qing Dynasty seems to have returned to the bronze mirror era a hundred years ago. There is no way, the glass mirror is too clear, Qianlong looked at his old lady, thinking about the current Da Qingguo, and his unsuccessful sons, how can he accept the fact that he is aging rapidly?

The emperor was angry. Zhu Jue has been responsible for the grace of the saint for a long time, and the minister thinks that Zhu Shijun will not bear the Qing Dynasty. Liu Tongxun, whose hair was already silver, said.

But Emperor Qianlong, who had been very kind to Liu Tongxun since Liu Yong's death, did not respond immediately, and his face was still ugly and tight. Because recently, an article came out of the Fu Han Army, issued in the name of Zhu Qi, which scolded the emperors of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the angry Qianlong turned black in front of his eyes.

"Your Majesty next year. Zhu Shijun fights for Dai Kuang, who is like a square, and is by no means a second minister of the Qing Dynasty who betrayed me. The minister asked the emperor to calm his anger......"

Fu Heng also knelt down. Since this article in the name of Zhu Qi spread to Beijing, Zhu Jun's eldest brother Zhu Yun pleaded for capital punishment and closed his home, and the people of Ying Tianfu and the infantry commander Yamen also surrounded the Zhu family. Fu Heng really didn't believe that Zhu Jue had defected to the enemy.

And to put it mildly, Chen Rebellion is gaining momentum, and it seems that it can be suppressed in the short term, and I am afraid that there will not be one or two civil and military officials who will rebel in the future, and they can't kill the whole family if they come out with one, right?

Winter is approaching, and the cotton clothes, quilts, salaries, salaries, and salaries of the soldiers on the battlefields of the north and the south are the big ones. Whether to organize the troops of Ganshan and Sichuan to open up Hanzhong as soon as possible is also an urgent matter, compared with these things, Zhu Qi's matter is just a small road.

"Your Majesty, the household department has allocated manpower, set up regulations, and are fully prepared, knowing that in winter, that is, in Zhangjiakou, Yangzhou, Lixiahe, Suzhou, and Hangzhou, we will set up donation bureaus, according to the amount of fertile land and the number of industrial fields, and the amount of silver will be drawn according to the number of land, and the donation will range from 80 to 20 wen per mu. For rice merchants, the method of donating cents, such as the rice grain store in Suzhou and Hangzhou, donated a fixed amount of 50 wen per stone per meter. Other major shops in various industries will be donated according to the percentage, which is roughly worth one hundred draws. ”

Fu Heng's excerpt had been handed over the day before yesterday, and there was no approval to this day, Fu Heng knew that this was the emperor's reluctance to make this determination. He was also secretly saddened, the respect of the Huanghuang Emperor was actually bothered by the yellow and white blockage. However, the Qing Dynasty really has no money, and the treasury eats grain, so it can pass like this this year, and what about next year and the year after next?

Many 'clear-eyed people' say that Chen Rei's set is a rabbit's tail and can't grow. In the future, just one money and grain can completely drag down Chen Han's finances. But what about the Qing Dynasty?

Beijing's artillery factory and the new army are like a bottomless pit, but the emperor has always unswervingly invested money inside, and used a lot of silver to hire instructors from those red-haired ghosts, and there are still the entire big green fruits to take care of outside, as well as millions of children of the Eight Banners. The pressure of money and food is really heavier than that of Mount Tai.

The establishment of local donation bureaus is a necessary policy in desperation.

If the imperial court does not have enough silver, it can only increase taxes and taxes. And because of Emperor Shengzuren's 'never give', then people can only take the initiative to donate. It's for 'donation'! Although Fu Heng knew with his toes, this persuasion could be turned into extortion, forced donation and excesses.

Therefore, the leading power of this donation bureau must be grasped in the hands of the central authorities, with the household department as the leading role.

If Chen Wei has been making such a fuss, if the power of the Donation Persuasion Bureau will be stolen by the local government sooner or later, and it will be accompanied by group training, this is the foundation of the feudal town. But if the emperor blesses, can Da Qingguo exterminate Chen Yi before the power of the Donation Bureau has to let go of the local government? Then this world is still the world of the Qing Dynasty!

Fu Heng knew that the 'Donation Bureau' was a cup of poisonous wine, and now he had to hope that the poison in this cup of wine would first fight the poison on his body before poisoning himself, and eliminate it cleanly.

Back in the apse, Qianlong sat on the chair with the whole person, his face was no longer angry and cold, but endless exhaustion.

Time and bad news hit not only his body, but also his energy.

"Your Majesty ......" Wu Shulai said cautiously and served Qianlong a bowl of ginseng tea. The old ginseng seems to be really effective, and after drinking a bowl of tea, Qianlong's face is much less tired, and his complexion is more ruddy.

"...... in the afternoon," Wu Shu said in a hesitant tone as he looked at Qianlong.

According to Qianlong's arrangement, he would go to the Jingshan Artillery Factory in the afternoon to have a look, and then go to see the new army that had been trained with a lot of money.

Since the connection with the Portuguese and the British, the latter two have been attacked by the Fu Han army, but no amount of hard blows can make the latter two end their relations with the Manchus, but the arms trade has been suspended. There is no way, the Europeans of this era really can't come up with too many firearms in East Asia, whether it's cannons or muskets.

The latter is to say that the Dutch, who occupied Indonesia, are now allies of the British, and the Anglo-Dutch alliance led by William III has signed various treaties, and the Netherlands has also lent Britain a huge national debt. The relationship between the two is still very good.

And Spain, for the whole eighteenth century, Spain was a vassal state of France, losing to the Bourbons.

Although Luzon has always been a 'paradise', it is almost impossible for the British to talk about the Spanish Governor of the Philippines on such a sensitive issue as the arms trade.

At present, the Manchu Qing Dynasty's new army and gun manufacturing are still mainly based on self-improvement, but they only add a touch of Western color to their training. Whenever Qianlong suffered a setback or was in difficulty, he would go to the artillery factory and the new army to take a walk, see the cannons and guns in production, and see the new army of the Eight Banners growing a little bit, so that the anxiety in his heart could be calmed down.

Qianlong didn't speak, but just glanced at Wu Shulai with his eyes, and the latter knelt on the ground with a puff. From the eyes of Emperor Qianlong, Wu Shulai felt as small as an ant – how could an ant have an impact on human actions? (To be continued.) )
