Cixi, who came out of the New Year, recovered her body, and as soon as her health was good, those troubled things were lost in the back of her mind. This is a heartless woman, a month of lying quietly, although he has lost a lot of precious things, but it also makes her want to open a lot.
If you don't know the price of firewood and rice, the current Cixi finally knows how difficult it must be to be an emperor and to make up such a huge and messy Qing Dynasty. No wonder that the unlucky Xianfeng is going to die so early, he is not blessed, he has such a troubled world, and he happened to meet himself who has to turn the world upside down, Kangxi, Qianlong and other holy ancestors have caught up with a good time, otherwise, they will not live so long.
However, she believes that she will not have a short life, and it is estimated that she will be about the same longevity as the Holy Ancestors, because although she has the curtain and has the final say, she will definitely not ascend to the treasure by herself like Wu Zetian's stupid guy. How tired is that, how much worry do you have to worry about? It's better to keep the curtain down, the right to control it yourself, the little emperor put it aside as an ornament, and the work is called to the servants to do it, and they are full of food all day long, and they have nothing to do with it, which is the way to live a long life. This is called the spirit and the ** double harvest.
Regarding the various forces that are currently emerging within the imperial court, Cixi is not unaware of the situation, the situation is not good, and she will rebel, and she will take care of herself under the danger. She couldn't care what the minions had in mind, but she had her own ideas.
"At present, the prestige of the rebels in the south, in view of the continuous infiltration of the rebels in Shandong, southern Henan and other regions taking advantage of the flooding of the Yellow River and the boiling of public resentment, it can be seen that the rebels' large-scale northern expedition is imminent. In order to cope with this situation, the staff department of our dispatch army spent several months drawing up a plan for the defense of the Yellow River. That is, first of all, Luoyang, Kaifeng, Jining, Jinan, Jiaozhou Peninsula and other important places as fulcrums, delay the next step of the rebels' actions, and gain time for the comprehensive deployment of the Yellow River, so as to finally rely on the natural danger of the Yellow River to form a situation of confrontation with the rebels, and stabilize the shape of all aspects. For this reason, our dispatch troops will all be withdrawn to the north of the Yellow River except for the Jiaozhou Peninsula, and the loyal and righteous rescue departments will no longer be stationed in the above places. In order to strengthen the reliability of the future Yellow River defense line, after careful consultations between the contemptuous people and the commander-in-chief of Muravyov and His Excellency Minister Ignatiev, it was agreed that it was necessary to establish a command of the joint forces of China and Russia to command the armies of the two countries in a unified manner...... We still ask Her Majesty the Empress Dowager once again to select a man of high moral standing and rich war experience to sit in Xi'an, concentrate troops and horses in Shaanxi, Gansu and other places, and stop the rebels' offensive on the western front, so as not to break through the entire front from the west......"
After the "injury" was healed, Cixi summoned the military aircraft department, the senior officers of various ministries and the senior generals of the loyal and righteous rescue ** at the court meeting, listening to the general adviser Puti Yating methodically and put himself in the shoes of her Qing Dynasty to tell about his painstaking efforts, and her heart was sweet.
The plan proposed by the General Counsel is indeed good, and no one can say that it is bad. However, when they heard that the Russians were going to lead the coalition forces of the two countries at the end, they could not stand still (in this kind of meeting, except for Wang Yixin, the president of the Loyal and Righteous Salvation, Wang Yixun, the king of Horqin County, and His Excellency the General Adviser, the other ministers did not have seats, so it cannot be said that they could not sit still). How can this really be reasonable, the army of the great Qing Kingdom should be commanded by you, the Russians? What are you going to do if you go on like this?
Monk Lingqin couldn't sit still. He looked at the silent, sitting Buddha-like Yixin, and looked at the Yixin who seemed to have nothing to do with him at all, and then looked at the obvious expectations, but at this time it was a serious Li Hongzhang, Rong Lu, Qiying and other loyal and righteous rescue generals, and then looked at the ministers who were blushing and thick-necked, making angry gestures to each other, except for whispering but not daring to say anything clearly, he jumped up.
Monk Glingqin, a Mongolian, will turn 35 years old on June 5 this year. He was born in Horqin's left-wing rear banner Hari Errige, Sumu Baixing Tugacha ordinary Taiji family. When he was a child, because of his poor family, he once herded cattle for the rich with his father Bu and Deliger, and at the age of 12 he was sent to Wenchang Palace in the old city of Changtu to study.
In 1825, Seng Lingqin was selected as the heir of the king of Sotnamu Dobuzhai County, inheriting the king of Zasak County, the rear banner of the left wing of Horqin. In December of the same year, he was ordered to walk in front of the emperor, and he was rewarded with a three-eyed flower, and the following year he was rewarded with Zhu Yin, and after three years, he wore a yellow coat and was ordered to manage Shangyu for standby. A few months later, he took charge of the firearms camp. He was very favored by Emperor Daoguang, and in 1834, he was awarded the position of Minister of the Imperial Front, Minister of the White Banner and Minister of the Guard. Later, he served as the minister of Houhu, the Mongolian capital with the red flag, the commander of the tiger gun camp, the prime minister's camp, the minister of military parades, and the Manchuria capital with a white flag. Reward with yellow reins.
Beginning in 1841, it was the Yellow Banner of Manchuria. Later, he served as a right-wing supervisor and corrected the Blue Banner Manchuria. In February of the fourth and fifth years, he was the Minister of the Guards under the Yellow Flag, and in May of the following year, he was the Minister of the Interior of the Guards under the White Flag. In 1850, it was the capital of Mongolia with a yellow flag. In September, he was ordered to go to Miyun County to suppress bandits and served as the left-wing superintendent. In December, Emperor Daoguang rewarded Seng Lingqin for his efforts to eliminate bandits, rewarded the four regiments of Zhenglong for supplementing and allowing them to be worn. When Emperor Daoguang died, Monk Lingqin was one of the ministers.
In 1851, that is, the first year of Xianfeng, Seng Lingqin served as the former minister of the imperial court, and served as the secretary of Luan Yiwei. He had asked for an order to send troops to suppress the anti-rent struggle of the tenant farmers of the rear banner of the left wing of Horqin. In the second year of Xianfeng (1852), Wu Baotai, the leader of tenant farmers' resistance to rent, was arrested and imprisoned. Presided over the relocation and burial of Daoguang Emperor Zigong, respectfully engaged, and rewarded with three levels. In May 53, he was appointed to supervise the patrol of the capital and served as the counselor.
At this time, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom set the capital of Tianjing and sent troops to the Northern Expedition. Seng Lingqin was ordered to command the Jianrui Battalion, the Outer Firearms Battalion, the Two-Wing Forward Battalion, the Eight Banners Guard Battalion, the Fifth Patrol Battalion and the officers and soldiers of Chahar, and the strong brigades of the Mongol kings of Zhelimu, Zhuo Suotu, and Zhaowuda went out of Beijing to fortify the Bauhinia Pass.
Unfortunately, Lin Fengxiang's Northern Expeditionary Army returned to Tianjing halfway, and the title of "Bodo Luo Baturu" was given to Seng Lingqin in history because of the defeat of the Northern Expeditionary Army at Lianzhen, as well as the hereditary replacement of Prince Bodol Gatai, doubling the silver and rewarding a plate of Chaozhu, a four-regiment dragon mending coat, and other more brilliant honors became impossible.
However, the above experience is enough to show how much he was deeply appreciated by the emperors of Daoguang and Xianfeng, and how trusted he was by the Manchu court.
This time, he walked through Yixin's door and was able to retreat from the Anhui front, although it was not very glorious, but it also made the people around him see his cleverness. It seems too much to say that it is smart, at least the premonition is very effective, and the front line is really losing all the games.
"Empress Dowager, it is not impossible to form a coalition army, but your subordinates think that the command of the coalition army must be assumed by our ministers." Perhaps in order to strengthen the weight of his words, Seng Lingqin finally added, "You can't go against the ancestral system." ”
In fact, what he really wants to say is much more than that. Lushunkou, Dagukou, Tianjinwei, and Weihaiwei have all become the sphere of influence of the Russians, and it is only in order to temporarily leave a little poor face for the Qing Dynasty that the Russians' troops did not enter the capital. However, if this development continues, what will happen in the future? What it would be like in the future, he couldn't even imagine. He really wanted to tear open the curtain to see or pinch how thick the Queen Mother's face was, and then directly ask the Queen Mother behind the curtain, who was the Qing Dynasty? Why do you just put that Putiyatin on the dragon chair, why bother to make such a big detour?
Cixi behind the curtain didn't speak, she didn't speak, but her teeth itched with hatred. However, after all, this Mongolian county king relied on important officials of the two dynasties, and she may have to count on him in the future, so she didn't want to completely lose face on this unknown monk Grinqin.
"Queen Mother, the monk king has a point." When Du Han, the minister of military aircraft, saw that Seng Lingqin had spoken, his heart was much more courageous, and he walked out of the train and admonished, "I am full of talents in the Qing Dynasty, and our army is the main force on the battlefield, so the commander naturally has to come from his own side." ”
As the Minister of Military Aircraft and the Secretary of the Ministry of War, Du Han was dissatisfied with the Empress Dowager's curtain and obedience to the government, but he strongly supported the Empress Dowager Cixi's theory of "saving the country by curves". However, he could not accept Putiyatin's proposition, and he naturally understood the importance of the power of the army. Under such a dilapidated edifice of the Qing Dynasty, the Russians once again controlled the military power in the vast areas of the Central Plains, and it was very likely that it would be used by those who were secretly dissatisfied with the extreme policies of the imperial court at the moment. What is a Russian? Isn't it unprofitable to be early? If that time really comes, don't talk about "saving the country with a curve", I'm afraid that the country will not be a country. To put it bluntly, he thought further than Seng Lingqin, he was really for his master, even if it was a curtain master he didn't want to see.
Cixi couldn't understand Du Han's good intentions, she only knew that although she couldn't provoke the monk Grinqin for the time being, she could not save any face for Du Han, who had the aura of the son of the former emperor Xianfeng's master Du Shoutian. She was worried that she couldn't find someone to get angry.
"Talented?" Cixi's nice voice was a little cold, "The mourning family wants to ask, the court is in such a crisis, as the minister of military aircraft and the secretary of the military department, what have you done?" ”
Du Han was stunned, and then lowered his head. Indeed, he really didn't do anything other than upload and release.
"You have been preparing for the New Year since the beginning of the year, you have to spend all day and wine, and you want the scenery." Cixi slammed the armrest of the chair, and her voice became sharper, "You are such talents!" Look at our Russian friends, they are sincerely defending our Qing Dynasty, they are not afraid of hard work, they are everywhere to survey the terrain, repair walls and holes for us, and prevent trouble. It is the people who are helping to train our army, and it is the people who are still working day and night in the New Year, trying to save us from the crisis. You're embarrassed to talk nonsense here, if the Qing Dynasty had completely relied on you alone, I'm afraid it wouldn't even be today. Don't you know how to blush when you compare yourself with others? Do you know that there is still the word 'shame' in the world? You individual talents, apart from engaging in some dirty methods in private, pouring dirty water on others, what else will you do? ”
