On the eighth day of February in the 58th year of Kangxi, Wenhuadian University Shi Wenda died of illness at home, the emperor heard it, was deeply sad, gave the name "Wen Jian", sent the third master as a representative, to the Wen Mansion to mourn, and lay tea and wine, give a funeral, the fifth master, the seventh master and other elder brothers all participated in the funeral, many courtiers also went to the Wen Mansion to pay respects, as for the fourth master, the eighth master, although the people did not come in person, but they also sent the funeral ceremony, a funeral will come down, it can be described as extremely mournful.
On February 15, the 58th year of Kangxi, the general Wang arrived in Beijing, strongly opposed the proposal to withdraw troops to Shazhou, said that this strategy was suspected of conniving with the enemy, and said that he would temporarily retreat across the Tianshan Mountains, take a short rest, and attack in the autumn to achieve complete success, and said that the Russian Emperor Peter I sent the Siberian governor Gagarin as an envoy to lead more than 100 subordinates to discuss various matters, and had sent troops to escort them, or would arrive in Beijing at the end of March.
As the so-called general is outside, the king's order is not subject to it, the old fourteen resolutely refuse to withdraw the troops, the old man is not easy to press, and after discussing with all the ministers and businessmen, he approved the request of the old fourteen, and allocated two million taels of silver from the household department as a reward for the three armies, and transferred three thousand elite cavalry from the Shanxi cavalry battalion as a reinforcement, requiring the old fourteen grams to break the Dzungar departments, and the matter was settled.
On the first day of March in the 58th year of Kangxi, Yin Taizhishi, the former head of the Hanlin Academy, made up for his vacancy with Wang Lingling, and transferred Fengtian General Songzhu to Wenhuadian University Scholar to make up for the vacancy of Wenda.
Although the six scholars are only easier than two people, but in terms of Yu Hongqing, the impact is very great, not only because of the right-hand man of Wenda, but also because the two newly appointed scholars are extremely uneasy to use - Song Zhu will not say, it is purely a mediocre and talentless person, the reason why he can ascend to such a high position as a university scholar is completely because of his white flag background and qualifications are old enough, this old man has been a general for a lifetime, and his ability to lead troops to fight is quite reluctant, but when it comes to government ability, it is almost no different from Bai Ding, The abridgement written out is really miserable, a thousand words, but I don't know what to do, Hongqing was helpless, but also had to ask this master to play alone, no government affairs were handed over to him to deal with, only let him stay in the military department to sit in charge, as for Wang Jiling, but he was very angry, and wrote excerpts and abridgements, it was really wonderful, the writing was brilliant, and it could be talked about practicality, basically zero, it was a pile of some gorgeous rhetoric, and it didn't come in handy at all. sent him to the Ministry of Rites, and he was loyal to his duty if he took care of some trivial things.
The two main assistants given by the old man are not of great use, but Hongqing is not in a rut, this court is not his turn to be the master, in desperation, he can only play the spirit of self-reliance to the extreme, even his own palace does not return, every day after work, he took the official document straight into the Summer Palace, day and night to work, until the end of March, finally the backlog of government affairs has been disposed of most of the half, even so, can be from the old man within four months to perfectly deal with all the backlog of official duties, There is obviously still a gap in the progress that is not small, but Hongqing has to stop, not around, just because the Russian envoy has arrived in Beijing.
Russia's letter was handed to the Ministry of Rites as soon as it arrived in Beijing, and the old man also read it for the first time, but there was no evaluation of a few words, and he passed such a letter to Hongqing, and there was only one sentence to confess, let Hongqing look at it himself, in addition, zài has no side words, as soon as this situation comes out, Hongqing can't help but have a big head - Lao Maozi has never been a good thing, this time, on the surface, he is going to sign the "Treaty of Friendship and Mutual Assistance" with the Qing Dynasty, but in fact, But he wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob, the so-called sending troops to help the Qing Dynasty put down the rebellion was obviously a trap, this was to try to take off a piece of fat from the Qing Dynasty, but many officials in the DPRK and China were already complaining about the long delay in the war on the Western Front, and there were really many people who said that they could cooperate with Lao Maozi, and the zài plus the fourth master and the eighth master were stirring up chaos in it, which suddenly made the situation even more disordered, and freedom could not be a headache for Hongqing.
The problem is that he really doesn't have so much spare time to persuade the noisy people who jump up and down in the middle of the court, and if you want to deter the arrogant polar bear, it is obviously not an easy task, after all, you have to plan well, and this, it will inevitably interrupt the rhythm of Hongqing's handling of the backlog of official business, but since this matter is in his hands, it will not be done if he does not deal with it, and Hongqing can only fight after planning a little. The main members of the Russian diplomatic corps were invited to the Summer Palace to meet him.
"Alexei, Duke of Great Russia, Governor-General of Siberia? Ivanov? Gagarin met the honorable King Ingun. ”
There were a total of six Russian envoys who were invited, plus an interpreter who was obviously a mixed-race child, all of them were dressed in military uniforms, all of them were tall and tall, walking on the road, all of them were arrogant, and they were only slightly restrained when they saw Hongqing's face, but they saw a middle-aged strong man at the head of him taking off his hat to Hongqing reservedly, and his voice was obviously revealing a sense of superiority.
"Grand Duke Gagarin has worked hard all the way, please take a seat."
The arrogance in Gagarin's tone was too obvious, although he couldn't understand Russian, he could not hear the meaning, even though his brows were slightly furrowed, but there was no side expression, and after the translation was done, he just waved his hand and gave up his seat in a calm tone.
"Your Excellency, the Grand Duke has come to consult with you on the matter of friendly exchanges between the two countries on the orders of the Emperor of our country, and your attitude towards this matter will determine the direction of your and our two countries, and I ask you to carefully consider the importance of this."
Gagarin also couldn't understand Chinese, but it didn't prevent him from distinguishing the disdain behind Hongqing's bland tone, and he thought that he was despised by Hongqing, and his face sank, and after the interpreter next to him translated Hongqing's words, he didn't even thank him, and sat down on the table opposite Hongqing, and even before his entourage took their seats, he was already arrogant and condescending.
For the polar bear, a greedy neighbor, Hongqing has always been very vigilant, over the years, there have been no less people to collect Russian intelligence, not only to the northeast equal to the Russian border to send a branch of the "sharp knife", but also to the "Eight Banners" fleet in the Netherlands, Spain and other countries when trading zhùyì zhùyì collection of relevant information, zài plus the experience of the previous life, when it comes to the understanding of Russia, the Manchu Dynasty, no one can compare with Hongqing, He knew why Gagarin was so arrogant, and after decades of Westernization by Peter the Great, the Russian Empire had become one of the world's great powers!
Although Russia is still a little worse than the Qing Dynasty in terms of comprehensive national strength, but in terms of military strength, it is much higher than the Qing Dynasty, of course, this is not to say that Russia's cutting-edge armaments are more advanced than the Qing Dynasty, in fact, as far as the cutting-edge forces are concerned, the new army in the Fengtai battalion is definitely standing at the top of the most advanced equipment in the world today, but the Qing Dynasty only has such a new army at present, as for the rest of the army, whether in terms of tactical awareness or equipment, it has lagged far behind the world trend. On the other hand, Russia, over the years, has fought four wars, successively defeated the Nordic power Sweden, and Turkey in Central Asia, and annexed Estonia and other surrounding countries, the combat effectiveness of its army has been tempered, if a national war breaks out between the two empires, the Qing Dynasty is destined to be defeated at the beginning, and this is where Gagarin's confidence lies in daring to be so rampant.
"Oh? Let's talk about it, what are the plans of your country. ”
Hongqing didn't care about Gagarin's rampant attitude, there was nothing else, if a national war broke out, the final winner would only be the Qing Dynasty, this one, Gagarin couldn't see it, but Hongqing knew it in his heart, but he didn't bother to say it, and as soon as the translation was finished, Hongqing already responded with a salty and indifferent sentence.
"Your Excellency King Renjun, it depends on the sincerity of your country."
Seeing that Hongqing still looked so disapproving, Gagarin's eyes immediately flashed with a fierce light, smiled fiercely, and put on a posture of blackmail.
"Sincerity? I have always been very sincere to my visiting friends, but for the jackals who come to the door, then there is only a sword and a gun to greet them, I don't know what kind of person His Excellency is the Grand Duke? ”
Hongqing has never been a good-natured person, he has always been tough on the outside, and he is not afraid of things, this hearing the words of Grand Duke Gagarin is so arrogant, his eyes immediately sharpened, smiled coldly, and retorted unceremoniously.
"Humph! As far as your army with big swords and spears is not vulnerable at all in front of our strong Russian army, it doesn't take much, I only need to lead a division to sweep away your hundreds of thousands of troops, under power, all stubborn resistance is illusory! ”
As soon as the interpreter translated Hongqing's words, the six Russian soldiers were all furious, and Gagarin was better, although his face was ugly, but he did not rush to refute it, but a young soldier sitting next to him slapped the table in a rage, and spewed out a large amount of wild words in a very arrogant manner......
