Young Master Meng saw the history of the end of the Qing Dynasty in modern times, and sometimes, he hoped that Prince Gong could replace Xianfeng!

Young Master Meng guessed that if it wasn't Xianfeng who became the emperor at the beginning, but Prince Gong who became the emperor, it is estimated that the history of China would be very different!

If Prince Gong becomes the emperor, can he change the fate of the Qing Dynasty being overthrown, Master Meng said it is not good, after all, such a big country, it is difficult to rely on the strength of one person to change anything, especially too far behind, however, Master Meng guessed, maybe it can speed up the process of China's industrialization and modernization, in short, Prince Gong replaces Xianfeng, which is beneficial to the country, this is certain!

If it is only from the perspective of losing the throne, it is only Prince Gong's personal misfortune, but after a certain period of time, it is discovered that the loss of the throne is a small matter, and the person who sits on the emperor's throne by mistake delays the major affairs of the people of the whole world, but when there is such a feeling, the country has accumulated difficulties or is terminally ill, and even goes to extinction.

The history is longer, such as the Great Qin Empire, under the rule of Qin Shi Huang, the world is unified, so that countless small countries finally form a unified whole, and various policies are also deepening step by step to various fields, but just as the Qin State is developing in a better direction, Qin Shi Huang was seriously ill on the way to the fifth tour, after the death of Qin Shi Huang, Zhao Gao persuaded Hu Hai to threaten Li Si, pretending that Qin Shi Huang issued an edict, and Hu Hai inherited the throne.

In fact, Qin Shi Huang has been deliberately cultivating his eldest son Fusu, Fusu lived up to his father's expectations and won the love of the people, but when Qin Shi Huang died of sudden illness, no one expected that Fusu not only did not become the emperor but lost his life, Zhao Gao faked the throne to Hu Hai because Hu Hai was not able to be easily controlled by him, so as to monopolize power, and soon Hu Hai brought a Great Qin Empire into a dead end, and it became inevitable to perish.

The Qin Dynasty is a little farther away from the present, and then the last feudal dynasty, the Great Qing Dynasty, also had emperors who had the ability but no opportunity, and had the opportunity but no ability. For example, the second emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji, died very suddenly, and he had not had time to establish a prince, and when the emperor died, there were two people who could be qualified to be emperors, one was Huang Taiji's eldest son Haoge, at that time, he had already commanded the army, and he was an adult.

The other is Huang Taiji's younger brother Dolgon, he is not only resourceful, but also good at leading troops to fight, which later the Qing army entered the customs, and in one fell swoop into the Central Plains, it was seen that Dolgon's extraordinary wisdom, but these two people did not become emperors in the end, but gave up this position to the six-year-old prince Fulin, who was later Emperor Shunzhi, but the Shunzhi Emperor was not only young, but also frail and sickly, and only lived twenty-four years old.

Kangxi Dynasty, all his princes have been well educated since childhood, Wen can govern the country, Wu can be Anbang, no matter which one is the emperor, will govern the country well, Yongzheng finally stood out from the brothers and ascended to the throne of the emperor, he knew in his heart that some brothers were more talented than themselves, knowing that they were not very convinced in their hearts, so he used the power in his hands to either confine down or exile or kill, thus clearing the obstacles on the way forward for him to take charge of the imperial power.

If Yongzheng is just afraid that his brothers will not be convinced, it is nothing, after all, he really used his actions to let his subjects see a qualified emperor, he has been diligent in serving the people all his life, there are few in history, and he has played a very important role in the inheritance of the prosperous Kangqian era.

And in the Xianfeng period, this emperor really chose the wrong person!

Emperor Daoguang was optimistic about the fourth son of the emperor at the same time, Aixinjue Luo Yixu, that is, the later Emperor Xianfeng, and the sixth son of the emperor Aixinjue Luo Yixu, but Yixu was very good at performing in front of Emperor Daoguang, and later Emperor Daoguang also crowned Yixu as the prince at the same time, it can be seen that in the eyes of Emperor Daoguang, the two sons are inseparable.

Later facts proved that the Xianfeng Emperor, who was both incapable and small-bellied, and was not in good health, really sat in the wrong seat, and during his tenure, the Eight-Nation Alliance burned down the Old Summer Palace left by his ancestors, and since then Qingming has been in decline even more, and he died after only 11 years of reign.

And the really excellent Prince Gong Yixun tried his best to assist the Qing Dynasty in his life, but he did not get the trust of his brother, especially after the death of Xianfeng, Cixi used the power of Yixun to eradicate the eight ministers of Gu Ming and stabilize her position, and then she used the excuse to kick away Prince Gong Yixun, the dignified Prince of the Qing Dynasty, although he was full of ambition and outstanding talent, but he was depressed all his life, and he had the talent of the emperor, but he did not have the emperor's order, and he was a slave for others for a lifetime.

Young Master Meng has a slight good impression of Yixun in his heart, but because of the relationship between Zhilin, his good impression has also been wiped out, so Young Master Meng is basically indifferent to Yixun, he didn't think about getting involved in the struggle of the court, he just wants to make money safely and steadily, accumulate wealth to a certain amount, set up his own heavy industry, make money, get people, and form an army!

Young Master Meng has no feelings for Yi Xun, but Yi Xun has feelings for Young Master Meng very much!

On the one hand, Yixun is here to take a look at this legendary prodigy today! The child who can make Yixin interested is estimated to be the entire Qing Dynasty, that is, a cute young master.

Yixun's figure is medium, and his face is dark, which is very inconsistent with the image of a prince, but Yixun is not ugly, especially his eyes are very murderous, Young Master Meng thinks that if you choose someone to come to Yixun, Chen Daoming is more suitable, hehe.

However, Chen Daoming is much more handsome.

Li Hongzao saw that behind Yixun were Jing Lian, Zhilin, and a bunch of subordinate officials, and the Seventh Prince, Fifth Prince, Baojun, Wenxiang and others who usually followed Yixun were not there, and guessed that Yixun might have temporarily come to his mansion.

Young Master Meng also knows a Zhilin for the people around Yixun, and sighs secretly, it is really a ghost, Lao Tzu is in Tianjin, Zhilin is in Tianjin, Lao Tzu is in Beijing, you Zhilin also went to Beijing, and Lao Tzu went abroad! Won't you go abroad with you?

Li Hongzao saw that Prince Gong had arrived, so he hurriedly put Yuemeng in the position next to him and greeted him.

Prince Gong said very gracefully: "Master Li, congratulations, you have accepted a proud closed disciple." The name of Tianjin prodigy has spread throughout the Qing Dynasty. ”

Li Hongzao smiled slightly, "Prince Gong is too famous, Yue Meng is just a little more sensible than ordinary children, and there is still a lot to learn, Yue Meng, you have come to see Prince Gong." ”

Young Master Meng hurriedly bowed his head and saluted: "Hello Wangye." "Young Master Meng doesn't like to use the Manchurian set, what auspicious, Antai and the like, he just uses a good word, but he finds it very easy to use, even Li Hongzao has not corrected him.

Prince Gong smiled he, "Okay, it's really worthy of the name." In his heart, he was very unhappy that Xuan Yuemeng did not kneel and bow.

In fact, Yixun came to Li Hongzao, of course, not just to see a prodigy, he had other things, but he didn't have a deep friendship with Li Hongzao, so he could only take advantage of this opportunity to come.

Since he came, Li Hongzao also treated each other politely, and invited Yixun and his party to sit down, the main table was originally according to Li Hongzao's meaning to sit casually, however, Prince Gong came, he couldn't be casual, there was no second grade or more, not qualified to sit down, even Zhilin and his father Jinglian were first-class, this can be.

Xu Tong, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, also arrived, and after the death of Wuren, Qingliu was headed by Li Hongzao and Xu Tong, Li Hongzao was respected and had deep qualifications, and Xu Tong was also willing to be under Li Hongzao.

Li Hongzao asked Prince Gong to sit widely, "Lord Wang, please sit wide, I can't figure out what's wrong today?" I didn't post it, did I? I just wanted to have a lively time with my neighbors and friends, why did this Lord Xu come too? ”

Prince Gong smiled slightly: "Those who come are guests, and they all want to drink Lord Li's wine, Lord Li's wine is not a well-informed person, and it will be difficult to drink it for the rest of his life." ”

Li Hongzao smiled bitterly, he has been frugal and low-key all his life, even if it is a birthday, or some major wedding events, they are all low-key and simple, and there are indeed very few people in the court who can drink his wine.

Li Hongzao got up to greet Xu Tong, he was very surprised, "There is no invitation here?" Why did even Lord Xu come? It's just a disciple, where can you afford it? ”

Xu Tong smiled: "I'm a nose spirit, I smell the fragrance of Lord Li's wine!" ”

Although Li Hongzao is a little pedantic, he is not stupid, and he knows that he must have something to tell him.

Li Hongzao is receiving Xu Tong, and Zuo Zongtang is also here!

As soon as Zuo Zongtang arrived, Li Hongzao knew what was going on.

As early as the fifth year of Tongzhi (1866), Tsarist Russia reached an informal agreement with the Agubo regime, agreeing not to interfere in each other's actions and giving each other the right to enter the country to hunt down fugitives. Shortly thereafter, Tsarist Russia seized the two Karens west of the Khorgos River, took control of the Turks Valley in the upper reaches of the Ili River, and continued to carry out armed provocations. In July of the ninth year of Tongzhi, the Russian army occupied the Muzart Mountains and choked the throat of Ili leading to southern Xinjiang. At the beginning of May of the 10th year of Tongzhi (1871), when Tsarist Russia took advantage of Aguba's invasion of Urumqi and invaded eastward, under the pretext of stabilizing the border order, sent Golpakovsky to lead his troops to drive straight into Ili and invade Ili on a large scale. On 17 May, it captured the nine cities of Ili and the surrounding areas. Divide the government and settle the country, settle the land, and colonize the Ili region. At the same time, he sent troops to expand everywhere, controlling the western region of the Junggar Basin from Tacheng and Emin River in the north to Jinghe (now Jinghe) and Kurkha Lawusu (now Wusu) in the south, and infiltrated other places!

These people are all about discussing the important matter of sending troops! Whether it is in favor of sending troops or against sending troops, they need to get the idea of Li Hongzao, the leader of the clear stream. (To be continued.) )
