Xining Qing Palace, listening to the Minister of Military Aircraft, Qi Liaozao, a university scholar, reported the errand of the envoy to Daming, Xianfeng was quite irritable in his heart. A few years ago, he had just been hit by the matter of Monk Lingqin becoming the king of Tibet, and before he could recover his strength, Qi Liaozao brought him new bad news.

First of all, Zhu Jishi held a meeting of the Mongolian princes in the Mulan paddock, accepted the tribute of Jiubai from Monan and Mobei Mongolia, and ascended the title of Tengger Great Khan. Previously, Xianfeng had also allied with Qinghai Mongolia, Xinjiang Mongolia, and Taoxi Mongolia, and gave himself a Tugmore Erbot Khan, who was also the Great Khan of Mongolia. So now theoretically there are two Mongol Great Khans! But Xianfeng sweated too much, and he was just a few Mongolian leftovers who supported him as a sweat. However, the Great Khan of Zhu Jishi was jointly supported by Monan and Mobei Mongolia. Moreover, because he was afraid of being attacked by Zhu Ming, Monk Lingqin also handed over the D Lai Lama! This monk is the supreme of the Yellow Sect, and the Mongols all believe in the Yellow Sect, so the Great Khan of Emperor Zhu is even more sufficient.

Due to the large number of casualties among the Manchus in the Taiping Rebellion, the number of Manchus had dropped sharply, and there were only 60,000 or 70,000 under the command of Yi Su. Relying on these people can't do anything at all, so Yisu's Western Qing mainly relies on the Mongols, Qinghai's Qaidam Mongolia, Hexi's Western Mongolia, and Xinjiang's Mongolian tribes, etc., are the pillars of Yisu's regime.

But now Zhu Jishi is the Great Khan of Mongolia! What's even more troublesome is that the Western Qing Dynasty is still subservient to the Ming Dynasty, so Tengger Khan is the theoretical master of these Mongols under Yi Su - at least the name of righteousness is on Zhu Ming's side! If Emperor Zhu buys some more gold and silver treasures, he may be able to win over all the Mongols under the Western Qing Dynasty, and what will be left of the Western Qing Dynasty at that time? So I'm really at a loss right now.

"Your Majesty. Chen also met Lin Zexu in Beijing...... "Qi Liaozao finished his report. He also told Yisu about the meeting between himself and Lin Zexu in Xisi Shaguoju in Beijing.

Lin Zexu ...... Do you want to learn from Yelu Dashi!? "Xianfeng is now a vassal to Emperor Zhu. was demoted from the Emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty to the King of the Western Qing Dynasty, and it stands to reason that he cannot call himself "I". However, he is not the king of the outside world, in Xining City, everyone still calls him "the emperor", and he also calls himself "I", a good closed emperor.

"Your Majesty, the ministers also feel that they have no choice but to do so. Leaving the Western Regions is also a solution. In addition, the Indian side should also be prepared. After all, I am not afraid of running out of firewood......"

Qi Liaozao is not very optimistic about Xianfeng's transformation into Yelu Dashi, this master's intelligence is really limited, it is estimated that he can't be a hero like Yelu Dashi, it is better to find a place to live in India as soon as possible.

Xianfeng took a sip of coffee and tasted the bitterness. This bitter coffee was given to him by a Russian advisor and is said to have a refreshing effect. But Xianfeng regarded it as a bitter gall, and let people spread a layer of hay on the kang in his dormitory, which was considered to be a taste of gall. However, bitter coffee was drunk for a few months. But it tasted good, mellow and rich. Compared with the tea of the Chinese, it is considered to have its own advantages.

After a sip of coffee, Xianfeng's spirit improved a lot, and he said to himself: "If you want to go into exile, you can't go to India, India is the territory of the British, Zhu Wei has a good relationship with the Queen of England, maybe he has slept on a kang, Master Qi, do you think I can go to the net?" ”

Qi Liaozao shook his head when he heard this, and said in his heart, this Xianfeng master can really figure it out...... But maybe there is such a thing, it seems that it is indeed inappropriate to go into exile in India, and if you don't do it, let Queen Victoria take it to please her old lover!

"The only thing we can rely on now is the Russian Empire, so if you want to preserve your strength, you can listen to it, we can't take out this flag man to consume. But if you want to go to India, you should buy a house in Petersburg. Master Qi, this time it's really hard for you, go back and rest for a few days before coming to the court.

Out of the Qing Palace, Qi Liaozao said in his heart, it seems that Xianfeng is going to go all the way to the dark. It seems that he is going to bury his bones in Russia!

When he returned to his mansion, before he had time to take a breath, Su Shun, the new minister of the guard, came to visit.

"The people are not happy, and the people's hearts are unstable...... I didn't notice it. ”

Su Shun said that the people's livelihood in the Ming Dynasty was very miserable, and the scholars were separated from the imperial court, but Qi Liaozao shook his head slightly.

"When will the people of the whole world not suffer? Even in the prosperous era of Kangqian, it was not easy to eat a full meal at that time. Although Zhu Jishi likes to toss, he has rich and fertile land such as Manchuria, Jiaozhou and Borneo in his hands, which can accommodate the poor people in the Central Plains, and always give the people a way to live. It's better than the end of Qianlong and the beginning of Jiaqing. ”

Qi Liaozao was not born in the palace, he knows what kind of life the common people of the Qing Dynasty lived. Although it may not be much better now, there is always a jumper, even if it is uprooted! If the bandits had such a way to leave their homeland, who would have risked killing their heads to rebel?

Su Shun shook his head, he always felt that Daming's internal stability was not very stable, and there should be a chance to make some trouble, even if he couldn't turn the sky upside down, he could always hold part of Zhu Jishi's strength.

"I have heard from Russian advisers that Russia will soon attack Turkey in the west, and that Zhu Jishi and Turkey are allies and are likely to join the war and fight Russia. Now the Ming Dynasty is not stable internally, and if there is a domestic quarrel when there is a war with Russia, it may be a fiasco! Wasn't that how Qianming fell back then? Even if it is not replaced by our Qing Dynasty, it is still better than the current situation, right? ”

Qi Liaozao sighed: "Yuting, have you told the emperor about this?" ”

"Having said that, the emperor thinks this method is very good! It's just that I can't make up my mind yet, and I want to come up with a specific way to convince the emperor. ”

"So, what are you going to do?" Qi Liaozao asked in a low voice.

Su Shun pondered and said: "In fact, in the past two years, no one has raised troops against Zhu Jishi, the Cao gang of the two Huai has made a fuss, and the gentry of Shanxi have also risen up, but unfortunately they were wiped out by Zhu Reyi's army before they made a big fuss." Therefore, Xia Guan believes that Zhu Wei is not stable in China, and he can still make a difference. The main reason why the uprising of the Cao Gang and the Shanxi gentry failed was that they were not well prepared and the timing was not well chosen. If you can select a group of warriors in the army, sneak into the Central Plains, and suddenly raise troops when the Ming army and the Russian army are in a stalemate, even if it is not successful, you can force the main force of the Ming army to come back to help! ”

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and the look on his face also soared: "Actually, we can also learn about the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the White Lotus Sect, and also come up with some kind of teaching to deceive people!" Also, I heard that Zhu Yi used immigrants instead of disaster relief, and in the event of a famine, he did not go all out to rescue, but forced the victims to move outside the border, this is an opportunity! As long as you can make a fuss and open a warehouse to release grain, you will definitely be able to gather a group of soldiers and horses. Do you think this will work? Why don't we go to the palace together and talk to the emperor, as long as the emperor can give me 1,000 bannermen, I will be sure to turn Zhu Ming upside down in the hinterland......"

Hearing this, Qi Liaozao didn't understand that this Su Shun must have no way to convince Xianfeng, so he came to himself to bother talking. Just as he was about to find a reason to refuse, a family member from the Qi Mansion outside hurriedly walked in.

"Master, the sixth master is here! The sixth master is coming to Xining! ”

Qi Liaozao stood up suddenly, and his face flashed with joy. Of course, the sixth master is not a devil or Su Lao Liu, but Qi Suzao's sixth brother Qi Suzao, he has pulled up a group practice in Shouyang, Shanxi, and has fought with Miao Peilin before, although he was defeated, but Miao Peilin did not catch his people, but let him run away. When Qi Liaozao went to Beijing as an envoy, he also inquired about him, and he had no whereabouts, but he didn't expect to come to Xining!

He looked back at Su Shun and said with a smile: "Yuting, my sixth brother once raised troops in Shanxi, why don't you listen to his opinion and see if it is possible to do something on Zhu Ming's territory, how about it?" (To be continued......)
