Lin Haijiang looked at Hu Weimin seriously for a while, nodded and said, "It's really good, but I don't think these are worth millions of taels." ”

Ma Jiang, Wang Dongxu and others standing on the side didn't understand, why did the Metropolitan Governor talk to this crazy student?

Hu Weimin sighed helplessly and said: "If you enter me, I can help you get the Qing Dynasty, and if you retreat, I can help you defend a land and be the king, do you think it can be done?" I'm just working hard for the rest of my life. ”

"Good!" Lin Haijiang clapped his hands violently and said: "After the matter is completed, I will give you three million taels, so that you can live a leisurely life like an idle cloud and a wild crane." ”

Hu Weimin shook the folding fan lightly and said: "A word is a certainty!" ”

Lin Haijiang nodded cautiously and said, "A word is a certainty!" ”

Turning around, Lin Haijiang instructed his subordinates: "In the future, you can call him Mr. Hu, and I must give Mr. Hu the same respect as me!" Do you understand? ”

Hu Weimin followed Wang Dongxu to the originally large cabin to rest in full view, and it didn't take long for Hu Weimin to find Lin Haijiang to complain, it turned out that he enjoyed a very formal salute and greeting at a convenient time, and he was afraid that the fan sent by his confidante fell into the toilet.

In the face of this silent retaliation protest, Lin Haijiang was speechless! For this outrageous Hu Weimin, Lin Haijiang decided to observe for a period of time to determine his ability and the purpose of his performance, for any outsider, Lin Haijiang has a vigilance, only after Hu Weimin has passed the test and proved his ability, Lin Haijiang will give him formal recognition.

However, the sound of the waves outside the porthole made Lin Haijiang very comfortable, how did he know that the excerpt of Zhang Xiatong, the commander of Qiongya, had not yet arrived in Beijing, and the Forbidden City had already become a mess, and the reason for the chaos was very simple.

The Qing Dynasty's feudal officials are not very resigned, after all, people have reached a certain point, and after being an official for a lifetime, it is difficult to let go of the power in their hands.

Ye Mingchen and Bai Gui can be said to be Xianfeng's old ministers, especially Bai Gui was also carried to the Mongolian Eight Banners this time, but Bai Gui did not mean to make a face at all, and asked to return to his hometown in the three of them, Xianfeng had not yet figured out how to deal with Bai Gui, and here Ye Mingchen went up again and said that he was unwell and had no way to do it, and he also asked to return to his hometown.

If this is changed to another place, Xianfeng would be like this, just change it to the minister of his own mansion, but this place in Guangdong is extremely special, and even the current Nanyang Navy Admiral Lin Haijiang started from.

The naval division of the Nanyang Navy Division in this Dagukou naval battle, the Bali Bridge of the land division to block the enemy, can be said to be a great contribution, even the monk Lingqin is full of praise, but what makes Xianfeng angry is that Lin Haijiang's land division actually entered Beijing? This is the most difficult place for him to accept, the soldiers of the local governor and the admiral have entered Gyeonggi, and they are also foreign spearmen, in case there is a thief among the thousands of officers and soldiers, with sharp foreign guns, nothing is impossible.

Although Xianfeng understands that the Eight Banners are no longer available, he has always had lingering palpitations about Hanchen's leadership, and the containment of Zeng Guofan explains the problem, Lin Haijiang's Nanyang Naval Division actually hides his strength, which Xianfeng did not expect before, in his eyes, Lin Haijiang is preparing for his disobedience.

Thinking of this, Lin Haijiang's previous loyal actions have also turned into disloyal and unrighteous acts.

Xianfeng thundered like thunder in the south study of the Jinghai Imperial Garden, and a Hetian jade washing pen that Qianlong had played with was also shattered, and Su Shun and Jingshou, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, went to invite the fourth princess and Lan Guifei to come respectively, and at this time, only these two people could calm the sky-high anger of the one in the imperial study.

"I treat you well! Lin Haijiang! Lin Haijiang! I want to punish your nine clans! Su Shun knew that the one inside was going crazy again, and at this moment, I am afraid that the more he persuades him, the bigger the situation will be, but it is better not to deal with it, and after a while, he will naturally return to calm, he hurriedly called the chief manager Xide to withdraw the guards, eunuchs, and palace maids around him, if this word spreads, even if Lin Haijiang does not want to rebel, I am afraid that he will have to rebel.

Su Shun felt a little ridiculous about Xianfeng's sentence that I treated you well, for the slander and power of Jingshou and these people, he was suspicious and suspicious, first involved the defeat of Zeng Guofan, the minister of the Qin Mission, and then forced Lin Haijiang, the commander of the Nanyang Naval Division, to almost rebel? Every time there is a big war, the bottom of the kettle will be drawn, and after the war, the meritorious soldiers will not be rewarded, and the silver will not be rewarded for repairing the garden? Can the following soldiers have no complaints? The bereavement pensions of the fallen soldiers have not been in place for a long time, and the silver consumption of the household department has been stripped layer by layer in the military department, and God knows how much is left below the distribution? Where does the emperor know about the dirty things under the main hall? If this continues, will the Qing Dynasty still have a fighting division?

Sure enough, under the appeasement of Princess Tulun and Concubine Lan, Xianfeng sorted out his emotions, drank a cup of **, and summoned Su Shun, Jing Shou, Zhang Jingzhi and others to give them a seat, Lan Guifei and Princess Tulun did not get up to say goodbye, Zhang Jingzhi looked at Jing Shou, Jing Shou looked at Su Shun, Su Shun looked at Li Yaoting again, and several people stared at each other.

Xianfeng suddenly understood why, so he glared and said, "My sister and concubine are here to accompany me!" It's not that you want to talk about interfering in politics, but I allow it, and I feel uncomfortable at this time, and it is much more comfortable to have you relatives around me. ”

Seeing this, Su Shun had no choice but to say: "Since the emperor opened Chrysostom, the ministers don't care about it so much, today the ministers and others on the resignation of the two governors Ye Mingchen and the governor of Guangdong, and there is no charter in the military aircraft department for several times, and the military aircraft all think that Bai Gui is very old, but it is allowed, Ye Mingchen is in the year of Yingfa, and it is natural to serve the emperor, but Ye Mingchen is not allowed to allow Bai Gui's face to be unreasonable, if both of them are prepared for Liangguang and a time to rearrange the governor and governor, it is not a charter. ”

Xianfeng saw that Su Shun didn't say anything for a long time, so he said unhappily: "I want the Military Aircraft Department to come out with a charter, look at you, are you all good people?" Let you come out with a charter, if you discuss it for two days, it means that you don't have a charter, so I have to be a wicked person, and I will allow both of them. ”

Xianfeng paused and said: "They are afraid of Lin Haijiang, I am not afraid, whoever dares to rebel against me, I will beat him as a long-haired thief, can't I find two people who can contain and restrain Lin Haijiang?" Are the dignified governors of Liangguang and the governors of Guangdong really afraid that no one will dare to be them? ”

Su Shun glanced at Jing Shou and Zhang Jingzhi who were eager to try below, Su Shun knew that these two people were wearing a pair of pants, Zhang Jingzhi, a cabinet scholar, was given by Jing Shou, and now Zhang Jingzhi had just made up for the military opportunity, so he naturally wanted to send a peach to Li, Zhang Jingzhi naturally knew the strength of the prince standing behind Jing Shou, these four nine cities were like nine sons with a chain lock, there was no ring that did not buckle the lower ring.

Su Shun saw the opportunity and immediately said sonorously: "Long live the lord!" Lin Haijiang now has the Nanyang Naval Division, the last time Lord Jingshou suggested that the Guangdong treasury be emptied during the war, and after the war, he stopped the Nanyang pension and reward, and originally wanted to use the bottom of the kettle to crush the Nanyang, but Lin Haijiang raised his own salary and silver pension, and Nanyang purchased nine Western ironclad warships, which can be described as invulnerable, and there were soldiers in Dagukou who saw a hundred bullets in a ship without major problems, and now the Nanyang Naval Division has deviated from Germany because of the unfavorable pension of the imperial court, which is probably the real reason for Lord Ye and Lord Bai to resign! ”

After Su Shun finished speaking, he glanced at Jing Shou, and the implication was that even if it was Lin Haijiang who wanted to rebel, the officers and soldiers of the Nanyang Naval Division below did not necessarily follow the thief, but because of the lack of grace of the imperial court, the current situation occurred, and all the responsibility was attributed to Jing Shou and others, Jing Shou was shocked into a cold sweat, he saw Xianfeng's brows tightened, so he hurriedly said: "Long live!" That Lin Haijiang has long been disobedient, otherwise why would the Nanyang Navy Division come to nine giant ships and not report to the imperial court? The treasury of my dignified country is empty, and he has the money to buy nine giant ships? This ship is not handed over to the imperial court, and it is not a minister who does not hand over the purchase money of the ship to the imperial court, and this is the second non-minister! ”

Su Shun suddenly interrupted Jing Shou's strong words and said: "The imperial court allowed the Nanyang Navy Division to raise its own funds to purchase ships, and Admiral Lin said that it would be borrowed to raise money, and a batch of warships from Sunset Prussia would be ordered in installments, etc., what is this performance?" ”

As soon as Xianfeng heard that there was such a recital that he had never seen in his memory, he frowned and said loudly: "I don't want you to investigate who is right and wrong today, but let you come up with countermeasures!" ”

Jing Shou heard that this was not his strong point, so he hurriedly pretended to bow his head and think hard, Su Shun saw Jing Shou so disdainful and said frankly: "Long live, the minister thinks that we can't force the Nanyang side too tightly at this stage, Lin Haijiang's foundation is in the open sea of the Nanyang, if he forces it away, he can let it go, if he comes everywhere to attack and disturb everywhere, this is not good for me, there are many treaties signed by the West, I can't follow the Kangxi Dynasty's ban on the sea, the minister thinks that the reason why the Nanyang Naval Division is invincible, It is entirely because they used the most advanced ironclad warships in the West, the minister advocated that the imperial court should unite the Western countries, Xu Xiaoli, so that it would not trade in the South Seas, Lin Haijiang cut off the source of wealth and ships, weapons and weapons, it is equivalent to removing its wings, in addition, the court can draw up to invite foreign soldiers to help in the war, although the previous battle Nanyang Naval Division won, but it can be seen that Lin Haijiang is very taboo against Western countries, the imperial court should order the Nanyang Naval Division to suppress the bandits Long Mao, Lin Haijiang is the best if he is ordered, and the imperial court is also famous if he is not ordered. Punish the unrighteous army with a famous teacher. ”

Su Shun paused for a moment and continued: "Cut off the connection between the South Seas and the West, cut off its financial resources, and work its soldiers, the most important thing is that the imperial court plans to set up the Beiyang Naval Division, and can choose Lushun, Jinzhou and other places as anchorages, build military ports, docks, and fortresses, order ironclad ships and coastal defense cannons from Western countries, on the one hand, to contain the Nanyang Naval Division, on the other hand, to prepare for the rise of foreign affairs, to control the ocean, learn its strengths, take its essence and remove its dross, so as to make great efforts, contain and weaken the Nanyang Naval Division, and build the Beiyang Naval Division controlled by the imperial court itself, Using foreigners and Nanyang to exterminate long-haired bandits is really a double win. ”

Xianfeng's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing this, the idea of forming a Beiyang Naval Division was very much in line with his ideas, before Long Wei and Longsheng Second Ship left him an extremely deep impression, forming a Beiyang Naval Division controlled by himself, once the Western robbers invaded again, I personally conquered and destroyed the enemy and the sea, and achieved the general record of Dagukou! For a while, Xianfeng's blood was boiling.

Jing Shou was just about to open his mouth when he saw the opportunity, Xianfeng glanced at him coldly, Jing Shou was shocked, so he hurriedly said: "The minister knows very little about this ship, only that it is not easy to establish this sailor. ”

Suddenly, Concubine Lan Guifei, who had been sitting beside Xianfeng and pinching his shoulders, spoke: "Long live, the concubine still remembers the last time Admiral Nalin entered Beijing, and the sailor he said is also a navy. ”

Su Shun also hurriedly said: "Lan Guifei Xianjian, this formation of Beiyang is indeed not an overnight thing, and foreigners need to have secret talks, warships need to be inspected and customized, and the management and belt officials need to be trained in the West, a warship is less than two and a half years, and more than three years, and the rest of the time in the middle is just used to train our own officials, introduce the Western industrial manufacturing method, and ten years later, I will build a giant ship in the Qing Dynasty." ”

Xianfeng looked at his Lan'er with a smile, as if Lan'er had fought for him for a trace of non-existent face, or did his concubine know that he was very face-saving as an emperor? Xianfeng improvised a pair of opals from Lan Guifei.

Although Lan Guifei didn't say anything, there was obviously a smile on her face, you must know that if you are in the harem of the Qing Dynasty, you will be cut off and abandoned in the city, otherwise how can you come to the iron brand outside the military aircraft department, that is, Xianfeng, the master who does not distinguish between the important and important, will discuss politics in front of the concubines, Lan Guifei's bold intervention was not only not reprimanded, but also praised? It can also be regarded as the first time in the Qing Dynasty.

Xianfeng nodded with satisfaction and said: "What the Qing played is very agreeable, and the Zhun Qing is played, and the prince of Sushun is also crowned as the prince of Sushun, the minister of the internal service, and the minister of the Qin mission to supervise the affairs of Beiyang, and the list of generals has been submitted to the list!" ”

Su Shun knew that Xianfeng was not interested in the formation of Beiyang, the purchase of Western artifacts to build a military port fortress, and the training of officers and soldiers, what he cared about was only the result, and even more bluntly, Xianfeng cared about whether he could make him feel like he was in the world, to a large extent, it can be said that Lin Haijiang's victory in Dagukou stimulated Xianfeng, and an emperor was jealous of the merits of his courtiers? Su Shun was very helpless.

Seeing that Su Shun won the biggest prize, Jing Shou's eyes were already as red as rabbits, and he heard that Su Shun was crowned the crown prince and Taibao, the minister of the inner chamberlain, and the Qin Cha supervised the affairs of Beiyang, which is equivalent to giving all the power of Beiyang to Su Shun? The future ship procurement and other benefits have all fallen into Su Shunde's hands.

But Jing Shou knows very well that he has added a blockage to the current person in dealing with Nanyang's affairs, so he can't open his eyes today, and adding a blockage will seem to be unfair, so Jing Shou immediately complimented Xianfeng for his wise decision-making, and coerced Nanyang Kanping to send bandits and say that it was okay.

After Xianfeng left with Concubine Lan, Jing Shou looked at the back of Concubine Lan leaving, and suddenly realized something!
