The Forbidden City is densely populated with houses in Beijing, and in summer, not only the capital is also hot, even if it is the Forbidden City. According to the old practice of staying from the Yongzheng Dynasty, whenever this solar term arrives at the beginning of summer, the emperor takes the concubines of the three palaces and six courtyards, the ministers of military aircraft and the duty staff of the six ministries and Jiuqing Yamen, and goes to the Old Summer Palace outside the city to escape the summer, and does not return to the city until the beginning of winter. This is naturally to escape the heat.
Although the south is not quiet now, it does not affect the emperor to take refuge in the Summer Palace, but when the Cantonese bandits of the Northern Expedition entered Tianjin a month ago, the emperor announced martial law in Beijing, moved back to the Forbidden City in the inner city from the garden, and looked at the Cantonese bandits who were getting closer and closer to the Beijing division all day long.
The autumn equinox is about to pass, the cold dew has arrived, but there is good news from Tianjin-the Cantonese bandits are trapped in Jinghai in the camp of Shengbao and Seng Greenqin.
For the imperial court for a while, there is indeed a lot of good news, such as the defeat of the Cantonese bandits in Nanchang, which is not a good news. However, the reality of the Northern Expedition of the Cantonese bandits penetrated deep into Zhili, endangered Tianjin, and forced the Beijing Division, but the whole Qing court was shaken.
“…… The Cantonese bandits are always known for their nowhere to be seen, and now they are stationed in Jinghai and Duliu, and they quickly fall into the heavy encirclement of our officers and troops. And its reinforcements were intercepted all the way by the imperial court's official army, and when the time entered the middle of winter, the Cantonese bandits lacked military resources and would surely collapse without a fight......"
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty will be even more of yours, and I will say a word, there is a momentum that can defeat the Cantonese bandits at any time, and in the words of the ministers, the dark clouds on the court seem to have been dispelled.
For the Qing court, this is a better thing than the defeat of Nanchang by the Cantonese bandits, after all, at the same time as the news of the defeat of Nanchang by the Cantonese bandits, the Han rebellion according to Wuchang captured Hunan, protected a province, and lost a place, and it was naturally not good news that Nanchang was defended.
And then the former governor of Huguang Zhang Liangji, who did not know his life and death, but had been killed by the Han rebellion, the news of the surrender of the Han rebellion also came, which was even more shocking to the imperial court than the fall of Hunan, after all, this was the imperial court's feudal ambassador to surrender to the enemy, which was the first time since the founding of the Qing Dynasty. So much so that in this court, there were even more Manchu ministers who were frightened and said, "Han officials are not credible, Han officials are not available", but the gaffe was interrupted by the emperor and Prince Zheng, Prince Yi and other imperial nobles and ministers, and the Manchu ministers who made this statement were also sent to Ningguta.
Although the emperor's actions relieved the Han officials in the court, on the other hand, everyone also noticed that they seemed to be more cautious about the group training, and there was no new minister of group training in this Jiangbei land, and everyone knew about this - with a Zhang Liangji, maybe there would be a Li Liangji and Zhao Liangji in the future, in a word, the Han officials are not credible!
For more than two hundred years, Han officials have long practiced a set of wise ways to protect themselves, what to say, what not to say, when not to speak, these truths they naturally understand, now this situation looks a little worse than that of the three feudatories, the more at this time, the more careful you must speak, or you don't know why.
However, there are few people who will talk more, this will be carried by everyone in a sedan chair, and good things will happen, all of them are naturally you and I say a word about the emperor Shengming, and there is a great deal of Mingjun was born, and the country is stable.
It was a joy to be so praised by the minions and ministers, and to beat Yi Su, who had not stopped since he ascended the throne, and even flushed a little.
"Now this Shengbao, Monk Greenqin in Jinghai will be surrounded by the rebels, I have decided to add troops and generals one after another, I have to destroy this thief, I have made up my mind this time, not only to transfer the soldiers of the monk king, but also to transfer the soldiers of Heilongjiang and Jilin, if you do not advance quickly, this thief is becoming more and more rampant, well, the household department must immediately prepare to give full pay silver, if this rebel is exterminated, each person will be rewarded with three silver, no, twenty taels! ……”
"The emperor is wise!"
All the military planes kowtowed at the same time.
Although the emperor's words to the mouth of the "three" changed to "two", but they understand in their hearts that for the emperor, this is indeed the "generosity" that has never been before, but unfortunately this generosity came too late, when the Cantonese bandits were still in Guangxi, the former minister Li Xingyuan played several times to ask for salary, the emperor only approved 800,000 taels of silver, Xiang Rong originally promised the soldiers to win the battle, each of them was rewarded with one tael of silver, Li Xingyuan arrived in Guangxi, there was no silver in his hand, it was reduced to three coins, and the soldiers refused to fight, and because of this, the Cantonese bandits quickly became bigger, so to speak, The fact that this Cantonese bandit can have today has a lot to do with the emperor's "stinginess" at the beginning.
This time, the emperor gave each soldier a reward of 20 taels at once, which was naturally an unprecedented measure, which shows the emperor's determination to pacify the "Cantonese bandits", and this silver is determination.
Although he promised millions of taels of silver with one mouth, but thinking that the world of the Great Qing Kingdom would be protected because of this, Yisu's delicate and weak donkey-faced face showed a more proud look, and the small goldfish eyes looked at the ministers in the court, full of expectation, as if looking forward to their boasting and sycophancy.
The sea has been up and down for decades, and Qi Liaozao, who is the foreman of the military aircraft, can't see it, and immediately handed over the "pillow", and said with a sigh:
"The Holy Emperor of the Ancient Ming Dynasty, those who deal with major things must be bold and courageous, and they can achieve great success, and the emperor can also be regarded as a big deal this time, which is comparable to the previous generation of British lords, and I can be blessed by the heavens when the Ming Jun is in this time!"
Being blown like this by Qi Liaozao, Yi Su was naturally even happier, and further said:
"Qi Junji praised in vain, this is just the beginning, when Shengbao and Seng Lingqin exterminate the two thieves of Lin and Li, they should go south again, first pacify the Yue bandits in Jiangning, and then purge the Han thieves in Huguang! I want to come to this time next year, and the world can be calm! It can return the people of the world to a prosperous era! ”
Listening to the emperor talking about his ambition there, Qi Liaozao couldn't answer for a while, turned around and motioned to the ministers of the military aircraft who were kneeling behind him, and Peng Yunzhang, who knelt at the last curtain near the door, saw the foreman military plane looking at himself, knowing that this would be the emperor's mood was right, where he dared to go to the bad mood of the emperor, and was hesitating how to speak, but he listened to Prince Gong Yixun, the minister of the guard, said on the side.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if everything goes well, maybe this reversal will be the work of Danxi."
As Yi Xun's younger brother, Yi Xun almost became the emperor back then. And Yi Su didn't know that his younger brother was far more intelligent than himself, in fact, the reason why he appointed him as the minister of the guard was to use his talent to help him keep the world of the Qing Dynasty. However, this kind of use has some precautions, so I glanced at him and said.
"Oh, why did the sixth brother say that!"
"Back to the emperor, a few days ago, the minister Zeng received a letter from Zeng Guofan, the minister of the Hunan League Training General Office, saying that although Hunan fell into the hands of Han thieves, his tyrannical behavior, although he did not burn temples and destroy books like Cantonese bandits, but his actions were a little more evil......"
Although Yi Xun's words were comforting the emperor, his words made Yi Xu, as the emperor, secretly think about it in his heart, when did he, the minister of the guard, have a personal relationship with Zeng Guofan! As a minister, you actually have a personal relationship with a minister? But despite his deep doubts, he heard it mentioned.
“…… On the pretext of inciting civil unrest and destroying official ships, he killed 16 leading soldiers and 39 boatmen! Hunan Province can be said to be in an uproar, and the gentry of Hunan Province are even more looking forward to the king's master! The minister thought that although the Zeng State was defeated in Yuezhou, it can be said to be loyal to the imperial court, and it was even more hard-working in Jiangxi, and it was repeatedly broken through the Guangdong bandits, and today the Jiangxi soldiers have been solved, and in view of its popularity in Hunan, today the Hunan gentry are looking forward to the king's division, if they are made to make up for the soldiers in Jiangxi, give money, and then enter Hunan, and collect Hunan for the imperial court, so as not to sit on the Han rebellion and ......"
"Hmmm......"
If someone else makes this suggestion, Yi Su, who is in a good mood, may respond to it. But instead of the sixth child bringing up this matter, Yi Su's heart muttered, and after a moment of silence, he only heard Yi Su sigh.
"This soldier should make up for it, but how can this salary be raised!"
Because he wanted to use the sixth child to help him turn the tide and protect the world of the Qing Dynasty, as the emperor, Yi Su did not reject the sixth child's suggestion, but cried poor.
"This side has suppressed Li Lin's second rebellion in Jinghai, everyone wants to reward twenty taels of silver, and the south wants silver to suppress Jiangning, and the daily needs are more than hundreds of thousands."
Yi Su cried about being poor, while talking about how much money he spent, in a word, the court has no silver.
"This, this Han rebellion is just a side branch of Jiangning's thief rebellion, although it seems to be powerful, it can be seen that it can become a momentum by seeking its own death? When the Jiangning thief rebelled against the peace, this Wuchang thief rebelled and collapsed without a fight! ”
The emperor's words made Yixun just hang his head, but he was depressed in his heart, but he didn't say anything. For fear of cooling his brother's heart, he no longer worked with him and said again.
"Sixth, don't worry, when this Li Lin'er rebels and suppresses the peace, the situation of this suppression of bandits will be improved, and when the time comes, if you want to use the former country to level Hunan, I will allow you to use it......"
It's not that I want to use it, it's that the Qing Kingdom wants to use him! Yi Xun secretly roared in his heart. But on his face, he guarded the courtesy of the monarch and the minister.
"Obey the order!"
"Two months later, the situation in the world is bound to change dramatically!"
Yi Su said with confidence.
"Yes, that's for sure."
The military planes kowtowed again, talking less and kowtowing more is the trick of being a minister of military aircraft, especially at this time, they dare not speak anyone. (To be continued.) )
