Yongyan's elder brother had just had lunch, and Yongyan and his wife and concubine were about to rest for a while, when a eunuch stumbled in, kowtowed to the masters, and said hurriedly: "Fifteenth elder brother, it's a big deal!" General Bai Nan, the commander-in-chief of the Tang Dynasty, will come to the South Three Institutes at two o'clock in the afternoon to meet with the brothers, and the Tang soldiers in the palace have sent a special servant to report to you. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Yongyan was immediately taken aback: "The commander-in-chief of the Tang Army is coming to see me?" ”

has been under the control of the Tang people for more than two months, and Yongyan has already learned a lot about the Tang people. For example, the Tang people do not use the hour to see the time, but use the 24-hour system, they are more careful about the time, to be accurate to the minute to do things, rather than like the Qing people to look at the approximate, basically which hour and moment are basically the hour. Then there is the basic level of the Datang army, Yongyan already knows that the lowest Datang soldier is a second-class soldier, and the next level is a high-class soldier. There are more officer ranks than the Green Battalion and the Eight Banners, and the commander of more than 30 people is a second lieutenant, a company of more than 100 people is a lieutenant, a battalion of 3,400 people is a major, the battalion deputy is a captain, a regiment of 1,500 people is a colonel, and the regimental deputy is a lieutenant colonel. The brigade commander of four or five thousand people is a colonel, and the next one is the real general, Bai Nan is the only general in the command system of the Tang Army in the north. The position of commander-in-chief is to command the entire army of the Tang Dynasty, which is equivalent to the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses.

Although it seems that Bai Nan's military attache official position is lower than that of the capital of the Eight Banners and the commander of the Green Battalion, how dare Yongyan slack off. The Tang army led by Bai Nan packed up the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Qing Dynasty, and even his emperor Ama was captured. Now up and down the capital, there is only one person who counts, and that is Bai Nan.

Since being captured by the Dragon Capture Team and placed under house arrest. Yongyan had ever seen the largest officer of the Tang Army. That is, the rank of major and lieutenant colonel. This time, the big boss behind the scenes actually appeared to see him, and Yongyan was not only worried.

The Hitara clan looked worried, "Your Highness, this generalissimo of the Tang Dynasty wants to see you, and I don't know what evil intentions are harbored, and the slave and maid are worried." ”

Yongyan sighed, after all, he was only a young man who was not yet twenty years old, although he was precocious. But in the face of all kinds of tricky things, he is also really embarrassed, "What's the use of thinking about this now?" Anyway, the life and death of you and me have long been pinched in their hands, and if they want to harm our husband and wife, it is just a matter of them opening their mouths and raising their fingers. Since we have been left until now, there must be some use, and if we cooperate with the Tang people, there may not be any danger. ”

Concubine Liu Jiashi also said miserably: "Your Highness, but are the Tang people finally going to send us overseas?" I heard that the overseas is thousands of miles away from the Central Plains, and only the giant boats of the Tang people can pass. It was deserted and bitterly cold. Once you go there, you can't come back. ”

Liu Jiashi is pregnant, his family has been sent to Nanguwei Island a month ago, and now she doesn't know where she is, the only one in the whole family is Yongyan's concubine, so she stayed in Jingshi, Tang people don't care if she is pregnant or not, they have to be sent overseas, Liu Jiashi is afraid that this boat is tired, and she and her child may not be able to live.

Yongyan comforted her and said: "No, if you want to send us away, I'm afraid we will already send it, this time it should be a side matter." ”

After that, Yongyan no longer thinks about himself, and obviously can't rest at noon, he changed into a decent regular clothes, but he didn't wear the prince's bright yellow horse coat robe, just a plain robe, which looked like an ordinary scholar. His wives and concubines also stripped themselves of their jewelry, and changed into their dresses, making them look like sinners and the weak.

At two o'clock, Bai Nan stepped into Yongyan's dive mansion. He was dressed in a clean white navy uniform, and next to him was Wang Tianci as a staff officer and confidential secretary, and the soldiers of the Dangkou Regiment, who were in charge of the security work in the palace, began to stand guard outside the Yongyan Hidden Mansion.

Bai Nan strode into the palace, he was not the emperor, naturally no one would shout in front of the commander-in-chief to arrive, Yongyan's family actually stood there holding the door, seeing someone hurrying over, the family hurriedly knelt on the ground and made three lines, Yongyan was the first, the wives and concubines were second, and the last were the slaves.

Before Bai Nan could speak, Yongyan shouted over there, "Sinners love Xinjueluo? Yongyan knocked to see the commander-in-chief of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Bai Nan stepped forward and helped him up, he didn't see any special expression on his face, he just said: "Fifteenth elder brother, except for God and our parents and ancestors, we Tang people are not happy to bow down, and when we meet, we will either make a gesture or shake hands, come on." ”

Saying that, he stretched out his right hand, Yongyan carefully stretched out his hand and shook it with him, Bai Nan smiled, patted his back, and said: "Yes, that's what it means, it's okay, who wants to kneel for others, men have gold under their knees, you respect me, I also respect you, treat each other equally." ”

Although he said this, he did not have any respect for Yongyan, and Yongyan never believed that the commander-in-chief of the Tang Expeditionary Force would be equal to him. Bai Nan walked into the palace, and Yongyan lowered his head in a deferential manner.

When he came to the hall, Bai Nan said: "Brother Fifteen, you are the master, please sit down first." ”

Yongyan was still young, and couldn't help complaining, "This capital is already from the Tang Dynasty, what kind of master is Yongyan?" ”

Bai Nan ignored his complaints, didn't pretend to him, and sat down first, he sat in the left position, not the master's seat, obviously gave up the right position to Yongyan, he stretched out his hand to signal, Yongyan still didn't sit, and finally Bai Nan frowned and said, "Sit down." ”

Yongyan saw that Bai Nan was a little unswerving, and still sat on the chair, but only made a third of his buttocks, and his head was still low, and he didn't dare to look directly at Bai Nan. He kept beating the drum in his heart, he had heard the name Bai Nan for a long time, but he didn't expect it to be a young man in his early thirties, although he was much older than himself, but he didn't look like a person who could be the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses. But Yongyan could feel the bearing and majesty on Bai Nan's body, which was different from the aura on his Emperor Amma, but it also made him very afraid.

Bai Nanxian said: "Before I came to the fifteenth elder brother, I had already met the eighth elder brother and the eleventh elder brother, and after I went out from you, I will also see the seventeenth elder brother." I'm not going around in circles. The content is actually the same as what the four elder brothers said. ”

Yongyan hurriedly said: "Please show me." ”

"My Tang army has been in Beijing for more than two months. Actually, let's start at the beginning. This war is not what Datang wants to see. The Tang Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty are both countries originating from China, although one is in the homeland of East Asia and the other is in North America, but they are of the same origin, the same blood, the same culture and the same species, and they should be brothers, taking care of each other. However, in the course of our dealings with your country, something unpleasant has happened. A few years ago, His Majesty the Qianlong Emperor brutally and arbitrarily terminated the normal trade and exchanges between the two countries, and issued an edict slandering and slandering China, which seriously damaged the image and dignity of China, which was unacceptable to all the people of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, under the call of the whole people, I, Datang, launched this punitive war against your country, hoping that your country can realize its previous wrong behavior. ”

Bai Nan scolded Lao Tzu in front of his son, Yongyan was a little angry, but he didn't dare to attack at all. His personality is relatively gloomy, and he is usually moody. And he has a lot of calculations, and he looks forward and backward, in front of Bai Nan, a smiling tiger, he will never dare to stroke the tiger's whiskers.

At this time, he hurriedly stood up, but he did not kneel, but made a long gesture, and said: "The sinner is full of remorse, sighing that he failed to dissuade Huang Ama in the past and made friends with the Tang Dynasty, so that the sword soldiers harmed the Li people, and they couldn't sleep all night, and they were deeply worried." ”

Bai Nan waved his hand and said: "It's true that the war was fought, but we didn't slaughter the people of Zhili, compared to your Eight Banners when you entered the customs and killed people, our Tang Army was not harmed by an innocent people, and we didn't even snatch a stitch or thread from others." But it is your defeated soldiers, who cause trouble everywhere, that are the most hateful. ”

Yongyan was a little unsure of what to say by Bai Nan, he pretended to be a loyal and filial son at this time, and said: "Although Huang Ama angered the Tang Dynasty, it was an unintentional mistake, the sinner is willing to take the blame for Huang Ama, please allow him to return to the capital and live for his old age." ”

Bai Nan waved his hand to sit him down, and said: "Whoever makes a mistake, who will bear it, besides, your emperor Ama is fine now, no one tortures him, maybe he is happier than in this Forbidden City." ”

Yongyan's eyes seemed to be shining with tears: "Is Huang Ama okay?" ”

Bai Nandao: "In addition to scolding us Tang people every day, now eat and sleep well, there is no illness or disaster, you don't have to worry." ”

As he spoke, Bai Nan reached out and took a photo from Wang Tianci and put it in front of Yongyan, Yongyan had never seen this thing, and was very surprised, the image of Qianlong on this small picture was lifelike, just like a real person printed on it. I saw Qianlong wearing an ordinary emerald robe, and his expression didn't seem to be very good, but his spirit was okay.

"This ...... Why is Huang Ama's braid gone? Yongyan had heard of photography, and immediately reacted to what it was, but when he saw Qianlong's bald appearance, he still couldn't accept it.

Bai Nan smiled a little mischievously and said, "The immigrants who went overseas have their braids cut. ”

Yongyan didn't know what to say at all.

Bai Nan finally got down to business, he said: "I am here to make clear to the fifteenth elder brother that our official position of the Tang Dynasty is that the Tang Dynasty has no intention of overthrowing the rule of the Qing State in East Asia, and this military operation has also accomplished our goal, so now is the time to deal with the aftermath." ”

Yongyan was shocked and ecstatic: "You're leaving?" ”

Bai Nan replied decisively: "No. ”

Yongyan felt like he was choked by the neck all of a sudden.

"Although we do not plan to withdraw our troops in the Qing State for the time being, we believe that it is necessary to restore the rule of the Qing Dynasty, and now there are many opportunists and careerists in the whole country, which are endangering the lives of the people, and also hindering the normal economic order, which is not conducive to the re-entry of our Datang commodities into your country." The last point Bai Nan emphasized.

Yongyan seemed to have grasped something, but he didn't understand much for a while, Bai Nan smiled secretly in his heart, this is the result he wants.

"We hope that a new Qing court will take up its own responsibilities, quell all kinds of rebellions in the country, reform domestic politics, and abolish some unreasonable policies, and at the same time, we also hope that the new court can attach importance to the relationship with our Tang Dynasty, and we are also willing to develop a brotherly friendship with the Qing state."

Yongyan thoroughly understood that this was a sign that the Tang people did not intend to completely control the whole country, and they needed a new imperial court to control the localities, especially to sweep away the rebel parties who were disturbing, and the ultimate goal was to maintain the stability of the whole country and the smooth flow of commercial goods, so that the goods of the Tang Dynasty could continue to be distributed in the Qing Dynasty.

He still couldn't help it, and asked: "Could it be that your country is rejuvenating and mobilizing the people, and you don't hesitate to cross thousands of miles to come to my Qing Dynasty, but it's just to sell goods?" ”

Bai Nan nodded calmly and said, "That's pretty much it. ”

Yongyan was about to go crazy in his heart, if he could, he really wanted to burst into foul language, and then lifted Bai Nan's collar and scolded: "You just want to sell things and say it, what the master has is money, in order to sell things, he actually arrested the master's son, the capital was trapped, and he also got 500,000 children of the Eight Banners out of the country, what is this!" ”

Bai Nan didn't care what Yongyan thought, he said to himself: "Obviously, His Majesty Qianlong is no longer suitable to continue to serve as the emperor of this empire, and your country needs a younger, more determined and enterprising monarch with vision and ability. As far as we Datang are concerned, this monarch must be friendly to our Datang, care about our friendship and attach importance to the interests of our Datang. ”

Yongyan understands in seconds, to put it bluntly, he is a puppet emperor.

As if he understood his thoughts, Bai Nan said: "Your Highness, don't think that the new monarch is a rubber stamp without power, a puppet. On the contrary, the power that the Qianlong Emperor had, the new monarch would have. He marries the daughter of whomever family he wants, appoints whoever he appoints as governor and governor, and conscripts whomever he wants. However, when it comes to our Datang, we don't want this new emperor to be as arbitrary and inconsiderate as his father, understand? ”

Yongyan suddenly found that a broad road was in front of him. He whispered, "Can the new monarch's power really be guaranteed?" ”

Bai Nan stretched out his right hand and pointed to the sky, and said, "I can guarantee that the new emperor can decide whatever he wants about any domestic affairs of your country that does not involve the interests of my Tang Dynasty." ”

Yongyan was excited, and he said with some worry: "However, if the new monarch rashly ascends the throne, I am afraid that the people of the world will not admit it, and those feudal officials may also rebel." ”

Bai Nan smiled, smiling super sincerely, and he said word by word: "We can get the abdication of Emperor Qianlong and the edict of Chan Rang, so this throne is justified." Moreover, whoever disagrees with this new emperor who is friendly with Datang, we, Datang, as good friends, will have no problem in helping him teach those who have no brains and are not subservient.
