January and February have passed one after another, but there is still a bleak wind and rain in the capital, dark fog and gloom, people's hearts are also gloomy, although the new emperor has ascended the throne, the sixth master who ascended the throne is also a master who works hard, but for those in the capital after the Taiping army broke the city, it is not easy to save a life of nearly 400,000 people, they are more concerned about practical problems such as houses, food and salary.

The fire of the Cantonese bandits not only burned the inner and outer cities of the capital, but also burned the hearts of the people and the hearts of the people of the Qing Dynasty.

Mo said that it was the Han people, that is, some ordinary flag people in this city, looking at the miserable situation of the city, they also secretly thought, although they were so thoughtful, but they didn't know what to do, for these generations of people who were born and had a piece of silver on the ground, they didn't know at all, what to do if the Qing Kingdom was gone.

"No matter how bad it is, I'll go back to Kanto!"

In the teahouse, Keiji, who was holding a few pieces of his own tea leaves and calling for a pot of boiled water, said this in his mouth, and the people next to him also echoed.

"No, if the Han people in the customs don't keep us, we will have to go back to the customs!"

"That's it, no matter what's going on outside the gate, it's freezing cold, and you can always save your life!"

"Even if you get to the gates, what can you do?"

Look at these "gentlemen" who are still crowded into a pile even if they have no strengths, drinking tea and chatting here. Li Ziming secretly sighed in his heart.

"What's more, that Guanwai is also a place in China."

Wiping the long table with a towel, Li Ziming looked at the "masters" who were talking about how to get to the gates, and the contempt in his heart became stronger, the court has raised such a group of pigs for more than 200 years, and the Manchu court really died.

"Outside the gates? Do you think that if you escape to Kanto, the Han people in the south will be able to let us go? You forget, don't say it's Fengtian, it's the place where Heilongjiang was also full of Han people, and our banner people, when they were from the dragon, were just wild people outside the country. ”

A master near the wall was muttering there, his head that should have been shaved had some messy short hair, which is now mostly the case in the Beijing flag, and it is difficult to pay attention to it as in the past, three days to shave his forehead, ten days to shave his head.

"Uh...... Then these Han people, they can't give us a way to live! ”

"That's it, there are more than a million bannermen in this world, he, they can still kill all our bannermen!"

"No, that's a million lives!"

"Humph!"

I saw that the man snorted coldly, looked at everyone coldly and said.

"After the capital was broken that day, how could there be hundreds of thousands of dead in my banner? If you can kill that day, how can you kill in the future? When he entered the customs in his year, he killed tens of thousands of Han people, and thousands of Han people could still be killed, but how could millions of flag people not be killed? ”

The man's cold words only made the people around him feel cold on their backs, but no, the history books often slaughtered the city, but there are endless history books, so when Lin Fengxiang was Ling Chi, didn't he still shout "Revenge for the Han people in the world", if this Han people avenge their hatred, what is the big deal to kill them all?

"It's over, it's over......"

Just when the atmosphere in the teahouse became cold because of the man's words, a person suddenly broke in in a panic.

"Fifth Master Ba, what's wrong with you?"

Looking at the ****** who walked in in a lost spirit, someone immediately greeted him.

"It's all over, it's all over, let's, we have to starve to death this time......"

The lost soul of ****** muttered in his mouth, and he had just been sent off from the household, and his face was full of panic. In the surprise of everyone, they just listened and continued.

"Cao Grain, Zhejiang's Cao Grain was robbed by Han thieves! That's more than 700,000 stone of grain! ”

As soon as the words fell, the people in the teahouse suddenly gasped, and the grain was robbed! 700,000 stone grain!

What is Caoliang?

That's not the rations of the Han people in the north! That's the ration of the Jingqi! Without these hundreds of thousands of stone grains, what should they do? Is it possible that Chengdu will starve to death!

"This thief Zhu Shun is so ruthless!"

"No, that Hong rebellion is just to kill! But this thief Zhu Yi wants to starve us to death! ”

"It's only to blame the Holy Ancestor for not killing all those remnants of the former dynasty surnamed Zhu!"

For a time, the whole teahouse was full of scolding, they scolded the "Han thief Zhu Reverse", the "Han thief" naturally refers to the "Han Righteous Army" that seized Guangdong according to Huguang, as for the "Zhu Reverse" refers to its metropolitan governor Zhu Yifeng, compared to Hong Rebellious, the family background is extremely "positive", after the establishment of the previous dynasty, when it comes to orthodoxy, even more "positive" than Chongzhen of the previous dynasty. Of course, the imperial court will naturally not recognize Zhu Yi's origin.

Although the imperial court does not recognize any "remnants of the former dynasty", the people in Beijing have already regarded them as "remnants of the former dynasty".

"This holy grandfather didn't kill the surnamed Zhu, but now, people are going to starve us to death! This, how can this be a good thing without food! ”

In the midst of that denunciation and scolding, there were rare and sober people, and when others were worried about starving to death, they saw a few of them quietly get up and leave the teahouse.

"Mu Ye, you always go slowly, Ji Ye ......"

Just when Li Ziming was sending these masters in the past, a few sharp-eyed people over there shouted. /

"Mu Da, Ji San, why are you going!"

"Go back, go home, go home......"

"It's not dark yet, go home!"

When others didn't seem to know why, I saw another person slap his thigh and said.

"It's still this Mu Da's brain, that grandson, what kind of home is he going back to, he is obviously going to buy rice, this grain was robbed, and the price of that grain is ......"

Before this person finished speaking, the people around who were still worried about the national situation and government rushed out of the teahouse, where they still cared about the national situation and government, and now hurry up to take advantage of the fact that the price of food has not risen, it is important to prepare more rice, it is a life-saving ration!

“…… The price of rice has risen from 322 cents and 7 cents per stone to 5 taels and 6 cents, although the price is high, it is often no rice ......"

Zhou Zupei, the head of the household department in the Dongnuan Pavilion, knelt on the ground, his head hung but he didn't dare to look up at the emperor, listening to Zhou Zupei's performance, Yixun, the emperor of Tongzhi who claimed to be "Manchu and Han ruling the world", would still have a solemn expression, his brows were tightly locked, and after Zhou Zupei finished talking about the high price of food in Beijing, he asked again.

"How much grain is still in the city's granary?"

"Back to the emperor, there are no less than 500,000 stones! If it's urgent, you can keep Jingqi safe for half a year/"

Hearing that there were still 500,000 stones, Yixun's heart breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good that Jingqi is carefree, the money and salary can be delayed, the rations of this Jingqi can't be in arrears, and the hearts of the flag people can no longer be cold!"

The banner people, even though they keep saying that they want to "rule the world together with the Manchu and Han", but it is almost an instinct, for Yixun, the first thing he values is the flag people, as for the Han people, he has never considered it at all.

"The grain is far away at the mouth of the river, and the Han thieves are based on Wuchang, and the middle is not separated by thousands of miles, how can the Han thieves directly attack the Chongming Shijiao,"

Since the banner man has no worries about rations, the loose Yixun once again raised his doubts.

"Your Majesty, then, that Chen Guotai and Wu Quanmei said that the Han thieves were able to use foreigners to help them fight with foreign ships, and the Han thieves used foreign masters to defeat him!"

Mu Yin, the secretary of the military department, kowtowed to the side, this will make these ministers not even dare to breathe, everyone knows what the loss of 700,000 stone grain means to the imperial court, and the loss is only 700,000 stone grain.

"Foreigners, foreigners......"

Repeating these two words, Yixun's brows frowned, and the sadness between his eyebrows was even more difficult to hide.

Originally, he also wanted to buy foreign guns and cannons like the Han thief, but now, those foreigners are all used by the Han rebellion, is it true that God does not bless the Qing Dynasty? Now that the foreigner actually helped the long-haired thief, how could he not be worried.

"Your Majesty, that foreigner has always been unrighteous, yesterday he helped the bandits first, and today he helped the Han thieves, he will definitely bring disaster to me in the Qing Dynasty! Slaves, please think that the court should make plans as soon as possible! ”

Listening to the emperor's muttering, the Minister of Military Aircraft Ruilin hurriedly kowtowed and said, and as soon as his words fell, someone over there immediately objected.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that whether this foreigner helps the thief or not, it is necessary to further investigate the truth, do not trust others, today there are bandits and thieves, if there is a foreign affair again, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to the court!"

Du Han, who is also the Minister of Military Aircraft, immediately attracted the approval of Peng Yunzhang, the foreman of the military aircraft, even Yixun himself nodded quite approvingly, he had long believed that bandits and Han thieves were the trouble of his henchmen, and as for foreigners like Yingyi, they were just physical troubles, and they should be eliminated first, and then dealt with foreigners like Yingyi.

Ruilin's warning was heard in Yixun's ears, and he also thought it was true, because he couldn't ignore the fact that foreigners were helping thieves now.

On one side is the problem of the body, which can be ignored for the time being, and on the other side is the fact of helping the thief. Worried, Yixun's brows furrowed even tighter, and looking at the ministers kneeling in the warm pavilion, he said softly.

"Nowadays, foreigners help thieves, rob me of grain, cut off my luck, this river and sea transport equipment is broken by thieves, what should he do in the future? It's been a long time, but what about it? ”

After the causal transportation is cut off, in the long run, the capital will inevitably fall into a food shortage, and when the people are panicked, can the world of the Great Qing Kingdom still be able to hold on?

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that although the foreigner is untrustworthy, he is a person who is heavy on profit, and the court can take advantage of it, if it can do so, it will definitely be able to attract foreigners for the use of the court......"

When Peng Yunzhang spoke at length about foreigners, Yixun, who didn't seem to have changed much on his face, was sad in his heart, and what the ministers and servants said may have their senses, but this foreigner ...... How many people in this court know about the foreigner? It's all hearsay...... (To be continued.) )
