Li Weng walked in the bloody Beijing City, and said to himself: "After this bloodbath, although the city is basically intact as a whole, the anger is too heavy and will not dissipate in the short term. Only His Majesty has come to town. ”

Behind him stood rows of black-clothed soldiers, some of whom were spies of his Intelligence Security Bureau, and some of whom were arranged by Qin Han to assist, their uniforms were stained with all kinds of blood, and they stood there without saying a word, with a condensed air.

Li Weng turned his head to Master Zhang, who was standing beside him, and said, "How's the catch?" How's the killing? His expression was indifferent, which made people feel even more terrifying.

Master Zhang replied tremblingly: "Lord Hui, the clan that can be counted clearly, has almost been caught, and the ones who should be killed have been almost killed." ”

As soon as he thought about it, he ran over with an excited face and said, "My lord, my lord!" Good news! The eunuchs in the Forbidden City were in a hurry to escape, and they opened the city gate while the guards were not paying attention, and our people had already rushed in. ”

Li Weng's face changed, and he asked, "What about Xianfeng?" ”

Eight-character nonsense: "Catch it, even his wife is caught here." ”

When Lin Hong's Luan drove more than a hundred miles away from Beijing City, he received Qin Han's battle report on the battle situation in Beijing.

It's just that after he received the report on the battle in Beijing, his mood became very bad.

His gaze was fixed on the page where the loss of personnel was reported. Of course, he expressed his concern and condolences to the more than 400 Royal Army and Marines killed and wounded in the battle, but he could not accept that 3,547 people were killed in those days of siege. During the siege, the Qing army mutinied and began to riot in the city, and a large number of non-military personnel were killed.

It was not his own people who died, and there were not a few civilians, Lin Hong quickly guessed that most of the people who died were Manchu clans and important Manchu officials, and even many Han ministers also died in the chaos of those few days. In fact, Lin Hong's list of people to be "secretly executed" is only about a dozen, and he wants to put them in the colony more for those Manchu magnates, although it will be very bitter, but at least they can still live. In the view of Lin Hong, who has advanced into the education of later generations and has the concept of a great nation, the limitations of the Manchus as a ruling class, a nomadic ruling class, are inevitable, and their ruling policies are not wrong from a historical point of view.

To say that in this world, there are not many people that Lin Hong admires, but Li Weng can definitely be regarded as the number one.

In the official report he handed over to himself before ri, it was written that Emperor Xianfeng and Mu Zhang'a, Longwen and others and their mother Xiaoquan became the Empress Dowager ** in the Qianqing Palace. But today Lin Hong entered the Forbidden City and came to the Qianqing Palace, only to see a majestic building with a layer of black ash on the outside and inside.

Li Weng moved very fast, Lin Hong had just arrived in Beijing, and a group of Manchurians had already been dragged from Tianjin to Irian Island and East Africa. Irian Island is the island of New Guinea, but the name was not used much at this time. After the Chinese Empire uprooted the Dutch strongholds and cities in Kalimantan, a small-scale westward colonization campaign began on the island of New Guinea. There were many primitive tribes on Irian Island, and the population could even reach tens of millions at its peak, but the primitive tribes living deep in the mountains caused great obstacles to the colonization activities of the empire.

When Lin Hong got the news, he ordered to send troops to conquer the local tribes that did not obey the indoctrination, but the effect was not good. It was only when the rainforest division was transferred from Lanfang that progress was made.

Don't think that sending prisoners of war and convicted Manchus to Irian Island is a change of way to kill them, maybe their sons will be better off after they go, after all, the imperial colonial policy is not to look at there, but in these years, the survival rate of colonization is very low, even if Lin Hong is fully prepared, especially in East Africa. Especially the indigenous people are not stupid, seeing you gather thousands or hundreds of people, they will not come together at all, unless they are alone. The large-scale sending of Manchus and prisoners of war to the islands of the South Seas and East Africa inevitably pitted the new immigrants and the indigenous peoples, and even led to armed conflict. But in order to speed up the pace of colonization, Lin Hong could only do this.

Lin Hong sat on the still unscathed dragon chair in the Qianqing Palace, groped around, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that this dragon chair in the Forbidden City is different from the one in my family. ”

Li Weng complained without a mouth: "Your Majesty, you don't have a formal dragon chair, only a meaning. If you like, move back. ”

Lin Hong laughed and said, "What you say is that I am like a peasant rebel army that is about to be corrupted. ”

"There is no difference in essence." Lin Weng continued to make irresponsible remarks.

Lin Hong didn't have time to talk nonsense with him, and asked, "Have you dealt with the mess in the past few days?" ”

"During those three days, all the people of the outer city were ordered to close their doors and not to come out, and all the food supplies they needed were provided by the army. At the same time, we have well controlled the order and means of carrying out the operation, and basically did not make much noise. ”

Lin Hong touched his eyebrows, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Where did Qin Han run to?" ”

Li Weng replied: "Back to Your Majesty, Your Excellency the Commander of the Task Force has taken a ship from Tianjin and brought men and horses to attack Shengjing, and it is estimated that it will be almost taken at this time." ”

"It is estimated that he will have to fight all the way to Waixinganling this time, and I don't know if there is enough manpower." Lin Hong sighed.

"Your Majesty, the defense in the northeast region is empty and sparsely populated, so the problem will not be very big. Now you need to think about the problem, the Mongol princes have met in Horqin and are ready to go south to King Qin. ”

Lin Hong was surprised: "Why, you didn't release the news of Xianfeng's death?" ”

Li Weng replied expressionlessly: "The subordinates are derelict in their duties, and the news has been spread, but the news has lagged behind and has not yet reached Mongolia." ”

The basic national policy of the Qing Dynasty has always been the marriage between Manchu and Mongolia. As the largest ally of the Manchus, the Mongols had a significant influence throughout the Qing Dynasty. The auxiliary minister who had just died in Beijing, Saishana, was a Mongol. During the Qing Dynasty, Mongolia was roughly divided into Eight Banner Mongolia, Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia. At the same time, the alliance flag system and the Zazak system were adopted. Inner Mongolia is also the Zhongyang regime appointed officials to administer, while the outer Mongolia has a hereditary Zasak rule, according to the time sequence of the Mongolian tribes annexed to the Qing Dynasty, the one that was attached before the middle of the Kangxi Dynasty was called Neizasak, which not only has a higher status, but also has a certain military power; After that, it was Vazasak, and the military power could only be handed over to the local generals. Neizasak is Inner Mongolia, and Waizasak is Outer Mongolia. The Qing court set up a vassal court to manage Mongolian affairs.

Inner Mongolia has the Chahar Eight Banners, which are led by the Chahar Dutong; The two banners on the left and right of the naturalized city Tumut belong to the general of Suiyuan City; The five banners of Tangnu and Ulianghai are led by General Uriya Sutai; In addition, there are various ministries of Kobdo, which belong to the Counsellor of Kobdo, with a total of 12 banners.

Among the outer Mongolians, there are the Jelimu League (where the Korqin Department and the Borzigit clan are located), the Zhaowuda League, the Zhuosuotu League, the Xilin Gol League, the Ulanqab League, and the Yikezhao League. Transzasak has the Khan Alin League, the Krulunbar and Tun League, the Zizir Lik League, the Zakbilai Se Chin Bidu Riyanor League and the Zazak Banner to which Kobdo belongs. In addition, there are the Western Lap Mongolia, Qinghai Mongolia, Xinjiang Mongolia, Heilongjiang Mongolia and nomadic lama tribes.

Due to the development of the economy, Mongolia in the Qing Dynasty and Mongolia in the time of Temujin has been very different, since the Ming Dynasty Altan Khan began to exchange markets with the Ming Dynasty, many Mongolians have begun to change their way of life, some Mongolians no longer live in pursuit of water and grass, but engage in agriculture, commerce and other economic activities, living in the city.

The change in economic activities most directly led to the fact that the Mongols, like the Manchus, were less fierce and wild than their predecessors. But it should not be ignored that the Mongols have wild stars in their bones, they love the steppe, galloping horses and sheep, and even if the nomadic life is gradually abandoned, most of the Mongols are still a strong warrior on horseback and with a bow.

Lin Hong pondered for a moment and asked, "According to your intelligence, how many men can the Mongol prince make?" ”

Li Weng said in an orderly manner: "Mongolia has always had the name of sharing the world with Aixin Jueluo, among which the Korqin Division, the Ordos Division, the Tushetu Khan Division, etc., these are relatively strong tribes, and the Uriya Sutai General Guilun dominates all walks of life in Mongolia, and the Mongolian war soldiers have great potential, which is not easy to say." Now that the Mongol princes of all walks of life have prepared to meet the alliance with Zhelimu, 80,000 Mongolian cavalry can still be put together. However, if we end up in a full-scale war with the Mongol royal palace, we may even face a million Mongol cavalry. ”

Lin Hong smiled disdainfully: "Are you making me happy?" The Mongols can't afford to fight, let alone beat us, now is not the time for Genghis Khan to dominate the world, and the current Mongolian cavalry can't reach the level of the cowardly Xue army. Dealing with the Mongol tribes is nothing more than a simple matter of pulling one and fighting another. Now we can carry out the same reforms in Mongolia as in the Han region, and of course gradual and small compromises are necessary. ”

Lin Hong waved his hand and said, "By the way, send someone to Xizang to find the 10th ** Lama Chuchen Gyatso and the 7th Panchen Lama, and worship the two of them as living Buddhas, now it's time to give me a starting point." ”

Li Weng bowed slightly and said, "Your will is my life's pursuit!" ”

The main belief of the Mongols is the Yellow Religion, and the two living Buddhas have a huge influence in Mongolia, if they can invite any one to move their mouths, or even go around Mongolia, then the resistance to recovering Mongolia will be reduced geometrically.
