Chen Dingtian is still unclear about the fact that there are a lot of things in the past hundred years because of his arrival, and a series of butterfly effects have begun to have a violent impact, and the Heaven and Earth Society, which was originally a year late, has revolted a year earlier, and even the scale is surprisingly huge. The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info and Zeng Guofan, a famous minister of Zhongxing in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, was even more mentioned that he was "robbed" and stayed in the capital to serve, and he did not have the opportunity to return to the local area to form the so-called Hunan army, and it is not clear whether this result is good or bad.

A series of butterfly effects have begun to change a lot, and even soon the hurricane of this butterfly has affected Jiangning in the south.

Jiangning, the Liangjiang Governor's Palace, Lu Jianying, the Manchu Governor of Liangjiang, knelt in front of a eunuch and listened to the emperor's holy decree.

"Fengtian carried the emperor, and the edict said: 'Lu Jianying, the governor of Liangjiang, has failed to detect the rebellion of the traitors of the Heaven and Earth Society in advance, and is unprepared after the rebellion, and allows the rebels to grow, which is really a crime that deserves death. took off Lu Jianying's top and wore a flower feather, and ordered him to commit suicide in order to repay the grace of the saint, admire this! Lord Lu, please! ”

When Lu Jianying heard this, he smiled miserably, this time he was going to die. He was actually ordered by the emperor to commit suicide, so he really didn't save face at all. In fact, heaven and earth will revolt this time, can you blame him? This Heaven and Earth Society uprising is actually a good time. If it weren't for the Taiping army to conquer Changsha, a large number of troops in Jiangsu would not have been withdrawn. And at this time, the Heaven and Earth Society uprising will not be so rapid, because Jiangsu's troops have been withdrawn, and he has no troops to adjust at all, so he can't suppress it, so he can only let the situation rot to this extent.

In fact, he thinks that he has done a good job, the people of the world will revolt in Shanghai, and his own Jiangning is so close and there is no panic, which is already good. Now that Liangjiang has no troops available at all, he can't suppress it, and he has done his best.

But now, he is facing death, which makes him really sad. And the entire Liangjiang Governor's Mansion was also a little sad, because they all knew that Lu Jianying had actually tried his best and could achieve the best result. They also don't have soldiers here, and it's difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. According to the rules of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the localities did not have the power to recruit troops independently. In fact, if they have the power to recruit soldiers, then they can immediately recruit soldiers to suppress the Heaven and Earth Society, and it will not be so erosive.

But because of the rigidity of the Manchu system, Lu Jianying has done the best he can, but now he still can't escape death. On weekdays, whether it is a corrupt official or an official, now he actually feels a little pity for Lu Jianying. Because Lu Jianying has become a victim, there must always be someone responsible for the uprising of this Heaven and Earth Society, and even more responsible for this erosive situation, Lu Jianying, the governor of Liangjiang, is just right in size and length, and his death can make a lot of responsibilities disappear.

"Lord Lu, please!" The eunuch said in a strange way, and brought a small medicine bottle, which was obviously poison.

Not long after, Lu Jianying committed suicide by taking poison. Lu Jianying was unlucky, although he also committed suicide in history, but he committed suicide after the Taiping army broke through Nanjing, and he was considered a loyal minister. But now because he was given death by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he has become a criminal minister. They are all suicides, and there are different results at different times and under different circumstances.

After Lu Jianying's death, the eunuch took out a holy decree again, saying: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: 'If the country is in trouble, think of the meritocracy.'" Yiliang, the former governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, is highly talented, known as the civilized soldier, loyal and courageous, and specially reinstated as the governor of Liangjiang, and charged him with leading an army of 50,000 people. ”

"Slave Guerjia Yiliang, thank you Lord Longen!" Yiliang knelt down and said.

Yiliang successfully took over as the governor of Liangjiang and was responsible for exterminating the Tiandihui rebel army. The army of Wu Wan, who had been transferred back from Changsha City, had already begun to enter the Jiangnan region, and Yiliang could take over the military power of this 50,000-strong army at any time and begin to suppress the Tiandihui rebel army.

The appointments were soon made known to various departments in the Jiangnan area, including the British Consulate in the Shanghai leased area. Because Shanghai nominally belonged to the territory of Jiangsu in the United Kingdom, and Shanghai at this time was only a county in Jiangsu, not a municipality directly under the central government, so according to the local senior officials who took office, they would routinely notify the local foreign consuls in China, of course, it was only a routine notification, and foreigners did not have any right to interfere.

However, with Chen Dingtian's relationship with the British, Chen Dingtian quickly got the matter of Guarjia Yiliang taking office.

"Is it Yiliang? This old thing is not easy to deal with! Chen Dingtian muttered.

Zhou Xiuying hurriedly asked, "Husband, is this Yiliang very powerful?" ”

Chen Dingtian didn't want to say much, he didn't expect this Yiliang to be reactivated by the Manchus so soon. This Yiliang had brutally suppressed the Heaven and Earth Society and the Little Knife Society in his previous history, and he was a person whose hands were stained with the blood of the rebel army. So Chen Dingtian was a little worried, this Yiliang was the nemesis of the Heaven and Earth Society and the Little Knife Society, he was actually activated in advance, and he was responsible for suppressing the Heaven and Earth Society rebels, which made him a little worried. This Yiliang is not a guy to mess with. Although he is a Manchurian, he is a strange man among the Manchurians. This Yiliang is not easy to deal with, this one is for sure.

"Chen, you Guerjia Yiliang is one of the few hawkish officials in your China. I still know a little about this Yiliang, this Guarjia Yiliang was in Guangdong more than ten years ago. Before the trade war in our England, which you China calls crows. In the war of the film, this Yiliang advocated resolutely resisting us British, did not agree to any treaty, and insisted on fighting. And he supports and helps you Lin Zexu to destroy the crows of our British merchants. Piece, is an out-and-out hawk. Ali Guo said.

Ali Guo quickly introduced this Guarjia Yiliang to Chen Dingtian and Zhou Xiuying, although this Guarjia Yiliang is a Manchurian, but he is different from those ordinary Manchu bureaucrats and aristocrats, and unlike those who advocate peace and compromise in a large number of Manchu bureaucrats, this Yiliang is a real hawk, a person who advocates tough defense of national interests. As early as more than ten years ago, when Lin Zexu was the governor of Liangguang, he firmly supported Lin Zexu to destroy the crows. tablets. When the British invaded, he was also the most resolute advocate of tough resistance.

Later, the Manchu Qing sent Qi Shan to prepare peace talks with the British, and he first exposed Qi Shan's betrayal and denounced Qi Shan's betrayal. So this Guarjia Yiliang is an out-and-out hawk, a rare hawk in the Manchu Qing Dynasty. And in the vast majority of Manchu aristocrats, it has always been ****, but this Yiliang is a hawk, which is a wonder.

"This Yiliang is really not an ordinary person, although he is a tough advocate against our Britain, but he is different from other Chinese officials, he is very flexible. Originally, our British merchant ships were about to dock, but we thought they would be stopped by this Yiliang, because your Chinese officials have always advocated closing the country to the outside world and advocating a blockade with the outside world. However, although this Yiliang was a staunch supporter of resistance on the battlefield at that time, he took the initiative to communicate with us after the war, which shows that he is not a very pedantic official like you in China. Although he advocates a hawk who strongly defends China's national interests, he is also a smart person, and he also advocates gradual opening up and exchanges, and he is not the kind of person who stubbornly insists on closing the country to the outside world. ”

"So this Yiliang of your China, we have a lot of information in the archives in Hong Kong. This Yiliang is not only a hawk, but he is not impulsive. Although he advocated toughness, he was not brutal, but full of wisdom. This is someone we all value in the UK. However, ten years ago, he took the initiative to dock the ships of the British East India Company and expressed some goodwill to us in exchange, and as a result, he was dismissed by your Chinese government. But now it's being activated again! So, let me remind you, this man is not easy to deal with. ”

Hearing Ali Guo's explanation, Zhou Xiuying finally felt vigilant, this Yiliang is a wonder among the people. Among a group of parallel traders, there are few capable and powerful people. This guy is a hawk and advocates a tough solution. But at the same time, he will not be brutal, but he is full of reason and wisdom, and such people are the most difficult to deal with. Tough and sensible, even full of wisdom, so that no matter which country it is, it is a top talent.

This Yiliang can also be called patriotic, tough against foreign countries, and advocates resolutely disagreeing with foreign compromise and opposing the signing of treaties. But he was very weak in the group of Manchu officials who advocated compromise. However, he was also not pedantic, and in the midst of the closed voice of the court, he took the initiative to let the British merchant ships dock after the war with the British, expressing goodwill. This shows that he is accurately aware of the inevitable contact with foreign countries in the future, and it is better to take the initiative to communicate than to continue to close himself off from the country. However, although his idea was good, it was in opposition to those who had always advocated closing the country to the outside world, so he was removed from his post. Now in order to suppress the uprising of this Heaven and Earth Society, he was actually taken out again, it seems that there are not many people in the Manchu Qing who can take charge alone, especially the Manchus. The Manchus believed in the Manchus more, and there were not many top-notch people in the Manchus, otherwise they would not have suppressed it with Yiliang, who supported the opening of the door. Yiliang, but he also has some ability! ”

This Yiliang historical evaluation is also a bit complicated, he supports the fight against foreign invasion, opposes compromise, opposes land cession, supports foreign exchanges, and is regarded as a brave and resourceful minister, and a patriotic minister. But on the other hand, his bloody and brutal suppression of the Little Knife Society uprising is also the reason why he has been criticized by later generations. ”

However, it seems that in this era, fighting against foreign enemies and bloodily suppressing internal rebellions do not seem to be absolutely contradictory. Although he was patriotic in uniting to fight against foreign enemies externally, it seemed normal for people in this era to help the emperor suppress rebellions internally. If you use the thinking of later generations, it is natural to think that his merits are complicated, but in this era, he is also a hero, and he will not feel guilty because of internal suppression. This guy is also a good person. ”

"The bloody suppression of the internal rebel army is not Yiliang's patent. In other dynasties, there were also many emperors who were very bloody when they suppressed internally, because in ancient times, it was a world with one surname, so the bloody suppression of the rebels was not because he was a Manchu, but because he was a feudal bureaucrat. The feudal bureaucracy hated the rebels very much, not because of the nation. ”

Chen Dingtian doesn't have too much prejudice against those ethnic minorities, if ethnic prejudice is excluded, then this Yiliang is actually a good person. As for the bloody suppression of the rebels, it was not because of simple ethnic factors, in fact, if you want to say that the Han people in the Qing Dynasty suppressed the rebels, there were many people who were ruthless and ruthless. Zeng Guofan killed Nanjing in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom at that time, and got the title of "Zeng Shaved Head". Yi Hao is a murderer in the middle of the war, but this Zeng Guofan is a bloodbath after the war!

Therefore, if you subconsciously think that Yiliang is a butcher purely based on ethnic factors, then Zeng Guofan is also not a good bird, but kills even harder. Therefore, this cannot be blamed on the ethnic composition of others, this bloody suppression of the rebel army was a common problem of ancient officials, and it is not the ethnic composition of a certain person that can be excused because of this. As for blaming the Manchurians for massacring the rebels, in fact, there are still many ethnic prejudices at work. Because of prejudice, many people ignored Zeng Guofan's murder and became more ruthless, but they seized on this Yiliang matter.

Chen Dingtian said to Zhou Xiuying: "Xiuying, you must be careful of this Yiliang next, this Yiliang is a tough and ruthless, but very smart and rational person." Such people do not change their attitude easily, and they are very hateful to rebels like you. Although he fights against external enemies, he is also very hateful to internal rebellions, so this guy must be careful. ”

"It's a pity that this Yiliang is full of people, otherwise you can consider surrendering. Since he was a Manchurian and hated the rebels very much, it was probably impossible for him to surrender. Chen Dingtian thought.

However, Zhou Xiuying took the big knife and said: "Hmph, no matter who he is, I must use the big knife that he can block me!" I'm going to go with a knife, that old thing is definitely going to be moved, huh! ”

Chen Dingtian was speechless, this Zhou Xiuying seems to be inseparable from the title of "big knife girl" in this life, and a big knife of more than ten catties in her hand is simply unusable by many men. I don't know how such a small arm can afford to hold a big knife of more than ten catties.

However, Chen Dingtian and Zhou Xiuying didn't notice that Guan Qin's face was very bad.
