Chapter 286: Shengjing Fengyun

readx;

There is not much joy about Yanjing's recovery of Lin Haijiang, for today's recovery of Lin Haijiang has done too much preparations, and even for today he let go of the Manchu Qing and returned to the northeast safely, Yanjing has been recovered, and the remnants of the Manchu Qing have not been completely cleared, so Lin Haijiang is still facing a lot of work, although Lin Haijiang wants to chase after the poor bravely, although the main force of the Qing court retreated into the northeast, but the Chinese Empire, which recovered a large part of the country, is really a little more than enough and insufficient, For the third phase of the campaign that could not immediately launch the final battle, Lin Haijiang really had some regrets.

Prior to this, Lin Haijiang even planned to use the navy to transport more than two corps of troops to land in Liaodong Bay, carry out a thunderous sweep of the Qing court, attack the first line of Shanhaiguan, and go north to conquer Shengjing, Jilin, and Heilongjiang!

However, this plan was affected by the winter ice of Liaodong Bay, Lin Haijiang could not take this risk, in case the Russians in Heilongjiang were involved in the war, Shanhaiguan could not be quickly breached, if the war dragged on beyond November, then once the sea area of Liaodong Bay was frozen, the only possibility for the two legions that they went deep into the hinterland of the northeast was to move thousands of miles to the Mongolian steppe to respond, or attack Korea, and re-establish a supply depot in Korea.

The biggest variable is the Russians in the Northeast, and Lin Haijiang doesn't want to start a war in Yanjing City, every brick and tile of the old Yanjing City will be a treasure in the future generations! The city gate building, bell tower, big archway and many other ancient buildings in Sijiu City, Lin Haijiang will definitely not make mistakes in the construction of later generations, he wants to plan out the entire Yanjing Old City, as the ultimate protection of human civilization in the East! Therefore, Lin Haijiang gave the Manchus a chance to retreat safely, which was equivalent to using this opportunity in exchange for a Yanjing city and a royal garden that had not been burned by war.

Lin Haijiang planned to use the strength of five corps and six marine brigades to fight the final decisive battle, but in order to prevent the Russians from interfering, Lin Haijiang decided to use the Zhenyuan-class battleship Dingyuan, a battleship of the Taiping Army fleet in Hong Kong, and 11 Glorious-class heavy cruisers to go directly north to the Sea of Okhotsk to threaten Russia, after all, the Russians still have nearly 300,000 troops stationed in Heilongjiang.

In Lin Haijiang's view, dealing with the Russians is like carrying out a thorough cleaning, the only thing Lin Haijiang can do is to try to avoid irritating the Russians, so that the Russians can intervene in this war prematurely, after all, this war is fought in their own homes, no matter what altars and jars are broken, they will have to repair them themselves in the future.

Lin Haijiang's plan was to start the offensive in mid-January next year, and after all the troops had been distributed the materials and equipment needed for operations in the cold areas of the northeast, they would conduct more than two months of adaptation training, and then carry out the offensive strategy of moving the battle line with an absolutely superior force force, like a snowball, arrange at least four or more army corps behind the main army corps, and mobilize more than 300,000 soldiers of the production and construction corps to follow up, and clear, pacify, receive, and build an area after recovering one area, forcing the Manchu Qing to fight a decisive battle with itself. With absolute strength, time and materials were spent to compress the strategic maneuver space between the Manchus and the Russians.

However, before that, what Lin Haijiang had to do was to carry out a large-scale purge of the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the Guangfu area, and now the Chinese Empire has established a solid political system, so Lin Haijiang also decided to implement the imperial strategic development of the Guangfu area. Lin Haijiang finally decided to adopt the public-private partnership in the planned economic system, with the imperial holding and local private participation to carry out large-scale industrialization construction and the transformation of local economic advantages.

To attract the gentry class with rich returns, let them take land or funds as a condition for entering the shares, enjoy dividends and various treatments of shareholders, for the existing national industry and commerce Lin Haijiang adopted a model of protection and support, in fact, Lin Haijiang also wants to vigorously carry out a large-scale land revolution, and mobilize all the social and non-governmental resources that can be utilized, so that it is easier to be loved and supported by the middle and lower class people.

However, during his visit after the occupation of Yanjing, Lin Haijiang found many problems, such as the so-called landlords who have also worked hard for several generations to buy land and develop, and the so-called destitute peasant households lost their homes because of gambling and smoking? There are no absolutes in everything, and Lin Haijiang knows that if his actions and imperial policies are too radical, it will easily lead to changes in the local situation, and the revolutionary conditions in this era are different from those of later generations. You know, the cost of studying is quite expensive.

If you want to unify a country, you must have an army of steel, and to rule a country, you must be supported by the majority of people, but to govern a country and formulate correct national strategic policies, then it is necessary for a large number of people of insight to participate in the implementation of the imperial policy in various administrative departments and basic units of the empire.

In the Shengjing City of the Qing Dynasty, it can be said that Shengjing has not been so lively for a long time, since the Eight Banners entered the pass and captured Yanjing, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty and his princes and nobles have rarely returned to Shengjing to take a look, except for the Shengjing general and several iron hat kings, most of the clans who are basically not welcomed are also in Shengjing.

Prince Yi Zaiyuan, Prince Gong Yixin, Prince Li Hengxin, Monk Greenqin and others gathered in the Dazheng Palace, after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, moved the capital to Yanjing, and the Shengjing Imperial Palace lost its status as the imperial palace of the Qing Dynasty and became the so-called accompanying capital palace. In addition to Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong's eastern tour to worship their ancestors, they lived here and have been idle for many years, and the Kangxi Dynasty added buildings on the West Road, including the stage Jiayin Hall and the Wenshu Pavilion used to store the four libraries, and built the East Institute, the West Institute and the Shengjing Temple on the middle road.

Compared with the Yanjing Forbidden City, the architectural style of the Shengjing Forbidden City has unique Manchurian, Mongolian and Tibetan characteristics, the layout of the Dazheng Hall and the Ten Kings Pavilion on the East Road imitates the layout of the Eight Banners Marching Tent Palace, and the characteristics of the middle road are the high palace and the low hall, and the residential part is located on the high platform, overlooking the main hall area of the government, which is derived from the living habits of the Manchu people who like to live on the platform, and the east and west palaces on the West Road and the Middle Road are complete Han style buildings.

Therefore, the princes in the East Road Dazheng Hall can look down on the pavilions and pavilions outside the hall, but at this moment, whether it is the princes or the ministers of military aircraft, together with the queen mother of the two palaces, are silent, from the Manchu Eight Banners to the Beijing Difficult Forest to avoid Shengjing, the rise and fall of the Qing Dynasty during the period is all in it, no one can understand the various tastes of the period, including the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, it is also clear that this time the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty retreated outside the customs and may not have the opportunity to return to Yanjing, Although it is said that there are still 300,000 horses and horses in the Mengman Eight Banners and the new army of the forbidden army that have returned to the outside of the pass, the household department of the Qing Dynasty has already seen the bottom, although more than 2,000 carts of treasures have been pulled out from Yanjing, but these treasures are all things of the prosperous era, and they are not worth much money in the troubled times, and the real hard goods gold and silver are pitiful.

In desperation, I had to use a batch of red sapphires and emeralds instead of military salaries, and first closed the salaries to stabilize the soldiers and horses, but everyone knew that this was not a long-term solution, so the princes and nobles who fled Yanjing gathered together, and wanted to ask a few princes and the queen mother of the two palaces to take an idea.

But at the moment the most complicated mind is Prince Gong Yixin, Yixin has the last secret team of the Qing Dynasty in his hands, when the Yongzheng Emperor Qianlong Qianlong period of the sticky rod, later in the Qianlong Emperor was officially revoked, although the write-off of the salary, but does not mean that the sticky rod has disappeared since then, after disposing of Su Shun and others, Yixin took over the sticky rod, although the name has not changed, but the meaning has changed completely, the sticky rod is no longer a force to serve the court, but reduced to the hidden arrow of the princes!

The attack on Lin Haijiang in Sichuan, and the chaos in the capital were all from Yixin's handwriting, although these two times were failures, but this also made Yixin see the so-called opportunity? Yixin also has a final hole card in his hand, this card has been secretly dispersed by Yixin, the specific plan of action is only known to him, whether it can be successful or not, then it can only be left to the fate of heaven! For Yixin, he always thought that as soon as Lin Haijiang died, the entire so-called Chinese empire would suddenly collapse, and maybe if someone else came up, he would not be as full of deep hostility to the imperial court as Lin Haijiang! Maybe there will be a possibility of reconciliation?

However, regarding the attack and a series of other actions, Yixin did not consult with anyone, nor did he inform the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, after all, there are many people, and the intelligence headquarters of the Chinese Empire is powerful, maybe once the palace on his side passes, the Chinese Empire will know the exact news in a few days.

The depressing atmosphere made the prince and the minister of military aircraft and the six scholars in the Dazheng Hall almost have a feeling of being out of breath, and the world of the Qing Dynasty collapsed in a few years, and it was by no means a thousand years of cold ice! First, there were British and French, and when there was a long-haired rebellion, Lin Yi just added another fire, that is, he burned down the world like an iron bucket in the Qing Dynasty! Solidifying the situation has become a joke!

For a long time, Ci'an let out a long sigh, although Ci'an's voice was not loud, but it was so quiet that it could be heard clearly with a needle, but it was extremely clear, the design of the inner hall of the East Road Dazheng Hall was originally used for the purpose of gathering sound and amplification, the purpose was to let the emperor above not need to speak loudly, and the courtiers below could hear clearly, but the design of this kind of mind sounds extremely bitter today!

Ci'an looked at Cixi, the two exchanged glances, and then Ci'an said frankly: "If you don't have anything to say, then we will first summon Odins, the plenipotentiary representative of Tsar Nicholas of Russia. Would it be good for Duke Nikolai to come and hear what their charter is. And then we're calculating? ”

The ministers below have praised the queen mother as wise, but after a while, the tall and bearded Odins. Duke Nicholas walked into the main hall, bent down and bowed to the empress dowager of the two palaces, and then said in Chinese: "Honorable two empress dowagers of the Qing Empire, His Majesty the Emperor, please allow me to express my high respect to you on behalf of His Majesty Tsar Nicholas I of the great Russian Empire. ”

Ci'an and Cixi nodded, and Ci'an looked at Odins. Duke Nikolai frowned slightly and said, "Odins. Duke Nikolai, I wonder why there is no news of the cars you took from the mourning family last time as treasures for military expenses? The 300,000 troops of your Russian state are in Heilongjiang and they can't move forward? In addition to disturbing the people, chaos is to reach out and ask for money and food? Could it be that you, Russia, are also afraid of Lin Haijiang, a traitor? ”

Odins. After hearing this, Duke Nikolai smiled slightly: "Oh! Your Majesty the Honorable Empress Dowager, I remember that there is such a saying in China, saying that you become a prince and a loser, this is how your ancestors entered the Central Plains, and now you have been driven back to your hometown by the children of the Han people, which can be regarded as a historical trend! What do you think of that? ”

The faces of the Manchu and Han ministers and princes above the entire hall are like purple pig livers, although a few of them have been angry, but they can only secretly clench their fists, after all, the queen mother of the two palaces has not expressed their position, and the powerful factions such as the monk king and the king of Gong have no words, and the rest of the people can only sit and watch the situation change.

Odins. Duke Nicholas paused for a moment and continued: "I have come here with the deep friendship of His Majesty Tsar Nicholas of the Russian Empire to the Qing Empire, and my Majesty Tsar Nicholas has been determined to maintain the friendship between the Qing Empire and the Russian Empire and sent troops, not only these 300,000 troops, but more troops are being assembled in Moscow, and our navy is also being prepared!" ”

Odins. Duke Nikolai's words injected a stimulant into everyone present, the Russians were willing to send troops, but the monk Grinqin on the side said to Zaiyuan: "Look at it!" The Russians are a greedy bear, as Lin Yi said, and they must not know what price they will come up with. ”

Sure enough, Odins. Duke Nicholas did not shy away from looking at Ci'an and Cixi and said: "But His Majesty the Great Nicholas I needs an excuse to maintain the friendship between the Russian Empire and the Qing Empire, I hope you can understand, it is just an excuse to send troops, you must know that the Chinese Empire is not an ordinary bandit, they are more difficult to deal with than the most elite armies in Europe, and they also have the most powerful naval fleet in the world for the time being, so His Majesty Tsar Nicholas I needs an excuse and reason to convince the nobles of the Senate, Get them to agree to send troops. ”

Odins. Duke Nicholas's one has already made Ci'an, Cixi and others experience the rapid pleasure of falling from Jiuxiao, Ci'an said lightly: "If you have any conditions, you might as well say it!" ”

Odins. Duke Nikolai took out a thick piece of paper from his bosom and opened it: "Just like the treasures of fifty carts before, ceding Heilongjiang and Xinjiang Province to the Russian Empire, that's all!" ”

"Fart!" Prince Yi Zaiyuan blushed and pointed at Odins. Duke Nikolai said with his nose: "I only have the land of Xinglong left in the Qing Dynasty, and you want to cut one of the three?" And also for fifty carts of Ouchi treasures? What a ridiculous thing in the world! We see that you are not here to help, but to destroy me, right? ”

Odins. Duke Nikolai said without moving: "We only need fifty cars of more than 2,000 cars of treasure?" Is this a dead end? How much does it cost to spend the army of the Russian Empire? How many casualties did it take for the battle to start? Have you done the math? What's more important is that we want to help you take back the world, and what we want is only a small part compared to the whole of China? Shouldn't you be generous to your friends? ”

Zaiyuan flicked his sleeves and scolded angrily: "Friend? You are a pack of wolves, a bunch of vicious wolves! ”

Ci'an waved his hand and said, "Prince Yi, please respect yourself, this is a major matter in the imperial court, Odins. Duke Nicholas is the Tsar's plenipotentiary, and his palace must not be unreasonable! ”

Prince Yi Zaiyuan arched his hand a little decadently and said: "Please forgive the queen mother for being too old and incapable of sharing state affairs for the court, and the ministers will resign from all their positions, and thank the queen mother and the emperor of the two palaces!" ”

After saying that, Zaiyuan didn't wait for Ci'an and Cixi to speak, he took off the top of the prince and put it in front of him, bent down slightly and walked out of the main hall step by step, but Zaiyuan's gray hair braids made people look extremely worried.

Cixi hesitated for a moment to Odins. Duke Nikolai said, "You should step back first!" Let's make a decision! ”

Odins. Duke Nicholas shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said: "Yes, but I must reiterate that the conditions put forward by His Majesty the Great Tsar Nicholas I are the final conditions, this point is not negotiable, and the time is your Great Qing, you can waste as long as you want, once Lin Haijiang's Chinese Imperial Army is overwhelmed, you don't regret it!" ”

Odins. Duke Nicholas's words were a shock to everyone in the hall, when did the Qing Dynasty become so poor? Odins. Duke Nicholas's arrogant attitude did not even provoke their thoughts of rebellion and anger?

Odins. After Duke Nikolai left, Ci'an took a deep breath and said: "I can see it, I don't need to ask you courtiers about this, whoever agrees to this condition will betray the ancestors!" But Lin Yi didn't give us a way to live, and we had to wait until I was in the place where I died! I'm going to make a decision today! I approved the conditions of the Russian state, if the Qing Dynasty falls, let the Russians continue to fight with Lin Wei! ”
