Chapter 889: Go to War!
Then there was a snowflake-like emergency report pouring in, starting with the chaos in Taiyuan Mansion and Yangqu County in Shanxi, and a pot of boiling oil was rushing into flames for half a day, burning the entire northern land.
"Queen Mother! The Queen Mother is not good, the Chongwenmen Merchant Pass has been burned, and all the New Year's goods in the palace have been robbed-! ”
Then Li Lianying rushed into Kunning Palace, crying like the end of the world falling apart, Ru Xi felt an invisible Gangfeng, which was woven and turned by her own hands, and pulled it up fiercely, sweeping her three souls and six spirits out of her body and falling towards the underworld.
"Good...... Good thief! ”
The heartache caused by this news tugged at her soul, and Ru Xi's face turned pale, her face twitched, and she couldn't speak.
Her potpourri oil! Her Nanyang incense powder! Her refined mix set! Her royal longevity ointment! In the New Year's goods purchased by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Nanban, it is not heart-wrenching to eat, wear and play, but these hidden or extravagant things are all supplied in limited quantities by Nanban workshops, and this batch is gone, and it will take at least half a year to wait for the next batch......
It's just to make these grass-headed pariahs jump, they actually dare to go up to the wall and uncover the tiles! Let them oppose the Nanban, they turned against the heads of the pillars of the Qing Dynasty! How dare they!? How could they!?
Ru Xi's pointed fingers in the fake armor stretched out, trembling as if she was playing the piano, her voice completely changed tone, and there was a disgusting feeling of scratching the glass: "Looking for Qingfu!" Looking for Gao Qi's mourning! ”
She almost gritted her teeth, and the glass window was about to shatter: "Kill!" Kill it clean! If you don't take the heads of those untouchables, the mourners will take their heads! ”
A killing word is like a soul suppression treasure, pulling Ru Xi's soul back, but before it can be fully entered into the body, a group of military ministers such as Yan Huang, Wu Xiang, Ne Qin and Zhang Tingyu hurriedly came again, their faces were yellow, as if there was a toilet behind everyone's buttocks.
"Queen Mother, Tanggu is in chaos!"
"Tens of thousands of rebels rushed to the Nanban commercial pass in Tanggu, and more than 100 Nanban men and women who took refuge were all killed!"
"Among them are also consular officials in Nanban Tanggu......"
The wind rose again, and Ru Xi could almost clearly hear a crisp snap. The soul that had just entered the body was photographed and flew out in the other direction.
The Tanggu Rebellion mentioned by the military planes took place two days ago, and the turmoil is still related to Beijing. The people who had been making noise in Beijing were rapidly divided into two categories, one group of people had no brains to smash the checkpoint full of Nanban merchants, and they did it to smash the Chongwenmen merchants. Another category of people. For example, Hong Ding and He Zhi and others, but they still have three points of sanity, and they dare not touch the industries related to the internal affairs government and the government, but hit the idea to Tanggu.
Tanggu is piled up like a mountain of goods, and there are Nanban people in Tanggu who want to escape by sea, and the imperial court does not dare to make too much trouble in Beijing, but it doesn't hurt to mess up in Tanggu.
As a result, thousands of elites of the Beijing public opinion movement went straight to Tanggu. Converging with the public opinion movement in Tanggu, the hot oil that had been boiled to the boiling point, coupled with this force, suddenly broke the limit, and the Tanggu Shangguan, which was closely covered, was drowned in the surging crowd. One hundred and seventy-six consuls, escort officers and soldiers, and British and Chinese people who took refuge here, were martyred.
Finished...... This is to send the handle of the war to the Nanban alive......
Ru Xi's soul was ethereal, and he didn't mention it in one breath, and his eyes almost rolled white. Previously, the Japanese Choshu Domain assassinated two Nanban generals. Nanban set up a brigade of sailors and was going to Japan to ask for the guilt. According to the news in the Nanban newspaper, the Tokugawa shogunate in Japan will not be ousted. If the Changzhou Domain is not uprooted, it will be difficult to eliminate the spirit of the Southern Barbarians.
Now it's okay, the basket poked out by the Qing Dynasty has broken the sky, not to mention that the Tianmiao Hospital and the merchant hall have been smashed countless times, and more than ten Nanban doctors have died in the Yingci Institute in Dongcheng, Beijing, which has already made her extremely worried, and there are one hundred and seventy-six more people, as well as envoys, even if the Holy Dao Master has no intention of sending troops, it is difficult to disobey the hearts of a country.
Is the Qing Dynasty going to die? Are you going to be overturned because you stir up this tide of people's hearts? …,
Ru Xi tilted his head and collapsed on the soft collapse. was so shocked that the eunuchs and palace maids pinched people and pinched their hands and feet, and it took a long time for her to come back to her senses.
"Kill! Those mobs just want to kill me, kill! The officials of Tanggu do not talk about military and political affairs. From the same knowledge to the garrison, kill! ”
Ru Xi held up the soul suppression treasure again, and now the only way to do it is to strike first and put his posture out.
"Summoning the celebration is back, hurry up! Let him go to see Master Chen, and we will agree to all the terms! ”
After calming down, Ru Xi thought of the most important thing.
The military planes kneeling down below were relatively speechless, what did they say by lifting a stone and hitting their own feet? That's it!
"I thought that the witch could have a little bit of sanity, knowing that the hemp rod was afraid of beating the wolf, but I didn't expect ......"
In the thatched cottage of Weiyang Palace, Li Shi faced Xue Xue, Chen Wance, Xie Chengze, Xiao Sheng and others who came to urgently ask for advice, and his words were both sarcastic and heavy.
For the monarch and ministers, the news of the chaos in the north is good and bad, the good thing is that Ru Xi treats the country like a plaything, and stirs up the people's hearts without knowing whether he is alive or dead, and now the situation is out of control, in order to prevent the Manchu Qing Dynasty from overturning in this turbulent public opinion, Ru Xi will definitely throw himself into the Anglo-Chinese five bodies, let it be disposed of, and the root breaking action should be unhindered. The bad thing is that Yinghua also suffered serious losses in this chaos, especially the death of many people, and Yinghua National High School will once again set off an anti-Qing Dynasty, and the pressure to immediately go on the Northern Expedition is increasing.
"It's not impossible to fight now, with the Fubo Army as the lead, from Tanggu straight into Beijing, and then from Huaibei, Shaanxi and Sutai to send an army to attack from three sides. The Manchu Qing Dynasty is like the momentum of a boiling pot, and our army will go north, even if it is not a call for a hundred responses, and the city will be surrendered, it can be like a bamboo. Therefore, there is no need to use the elite division, 350,000 red clothes double the number of volunteers, and then entangle the Suriya, Sutai, and Mongolian tribes, it is enough! ”
Seeing that Li Xian's eyes were empty, obviously thinking about the benefits, Xiao Sheng was a little excited to put forward his opinion.
Xue Xue, who is adjusting the structure of a country, is the first to object: "The focus of the Qing Dynasty is on politics and economy, not military. These two sides are still insufficient, and there will be too many problems in taking the north. ”
Xie Chengze still had a sad look on his face, Consul Tanggu was the leader of the new generation of the General Secretariat, and he was martyred, and the loss of the General Secretariat, he also shook his head and said: "Looking at this mess in the Manchu Dynasty, I know that too many northerners are still ignorant and full of anger at my Yinghua, otherwise it will not be to the point where it is difficult to clean up the witch." At this time, the Northern Expedition really added fuel to the fire, and if the killing was too heavy, it would also involve the Moruren Party in the country to jump up. ”
Xiao Sheng snorted: "Before, the northerners were in turmoil, and they were the ones who oppressed the northerners too much in the crusade against the imperial court, and now they are the ones who are clamoring for the northern expedition." In the future, there will be many casualties among the northerners, and they will be the ones who want to jump out and make trouble, this gossip business is really good. ”
Shi Yizhi coughed and said: "I advocate moderation in Yinghua, and someone has to say the opposite." Let everyone hold on to a string and act without being too paranoid. ”
He looked at Chen Wance: "What is Chen Xiang's opinion?" ”
Chen Wance smiled slightly, and said loudly: "In the lower country, Junjie plans for northern affairs, and the first thing is who is the enemy and who is the friend. Now the trend of the north, everyone looks chaotic, but you can look at it below. But it's clear. It is very clear who can use it, who can't keep it, and who wants to change their minds! ”
Although the Chinese people have also paid the price, Chen Vance is extremely excited. The Manchu Qing Dynasty weaved a network of interests with the internal affairs government, imperial merchants, officials and businessmen as the backbone, maintaining the rule of the Manchus and clinging to the traitor bureaucrats. The non-governmental industrial and commercial forces in the north and the ordinary people were heavily pressed by this big net, and there were still some contradictions between the latter. But through this chaos, the latter began to merge together and rebel against this big net together. The Taiyuan Rebellion in Shanxi Province is a case in point.
And the most active anti-British people also showed up in this chaos, that is, the dregs of society who were agitated, these people are ignorant and have no limits, and they are the key objects to be rectified and punished in the future Anglo-Chinese restoration. …,
The ordinary people, especially the low-level peasants and workers, did not dare to be too touched by the Manchus, but they were a vital force that the British and Chinese could rely on to restore the land, but this required cleaning up and transforming the cults and Taoism buried deep in them.
As for the intellectuals. It can be seen from this public opinion movement that there were no intellectuals with a "backbone" under the rule of the Manchu Dynasty, either because they had opened their eyes and were unwilling to accept the righteousness of the Manchu Dynasty, so they fled from the world or even defected to Yinghua. Even if there is still resistance to Yinghua, they all choose Nian Qianyao's faction. Ran to Ningguta. And the remaining stubborn old-fashioned faction, holding Taoism and etiquette, is not a problem.
Chen Wance analyzed the situation and the pattern of forces in the people of the north, and concluded that the old-fashioned intellectuals, coupled with the long tradition of cults and Taoism in the north, are likely to merge with the suffering peasants and workers in the north, and together with the dregs of society and the opportunists with ambitions, they will form a powerful destructive force. At this time, the Northern Expedition, this force will converge to undermine the general trend of the British Northern Expedition, and even affect the subsequent transformation of the north. So it will take time, try to drain this force as much as possible.
The general office is one hand, the heaven and earth will be one hand, and the exchange of affairs such as industry and commerce, culture and medicine is another hand, and now the three hands have just been rolled out, although this chaos will be held for a short time, but after the chaos, the situation is clear, and the three hands will be able to play a great role.
Chen Wance's General Administration of North-South Affairs not only coordinated the restoration of the land, but also was responsible for the transformation of the north after the restoration of the land.
After the discussion, everyone looked at Li Shi again, and Li Xi also ended his fugue state and spit out two words: "Go to war!" ”
War!?
Everyone said, all the verbal exchanges just now were in vain? The emperor is also impatient?
Li Xian said: "Since the people's hearts have been rehearsed, the military must also be rehearsed, and the loss of my British and Chinese lives and industries must also be repaid by Tatar Qing!" This battle is not for recovering the land, but for collecting this debt! As for the debts of the Manchurians who harmed my Huaxia, we can't lightly expose them with the restoration of the land, and while planning to restore the land, we must also set a good end for the Manchurians! ”
Separate the new debts and old debts, but consider the debts of Mantar and Huaxia as a whole, and everyone is excited and worships together.
When the "Manchu Non-State Theory" drafted by the Emperor Shengdao himself was published in the newspaper and urgently spread to the north and south, Ru Xi faced a hall of courtiers in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, and asked sharply, "How is it good!?" ”。
"The Theory of the Manchu Dynasty's Non-State" is the Emperor Shengdao who took advantage of the turmoil in the Manchu state to question the Manchu government's ability to abide by the "Anglo-Qing Peace Agreement", and then questioned the righteousness of the Manchu rule in the north. This is already preparing for the righteousness of the Northern Expedition of Japan, after all, the British and Qing have respected and humbled each other for many years, and if they do not gradually clarify this righteousness, they will immediately change to a full face, which is too blunt.
Although the tone of Emperor Shengdao's editorial was still some distance away from the Northern Expedition, in the eyes of Ru Xi and even the upper echelons of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it was close to the Northern Expedition. And following this editorial came the news that the Nanyang Fleet and the Fubo Army had reinforced Beiyang and were about to raise troops to be held accountable.
"What should I do in the Qing Dynasty!?"
Ru Xi continued to ask, but she watched Li Xi lead the fleet from Tanggu to the north, smash the force of the Guangxu group with only 10,000 people, and go straight to Beijing. She can see from the editorial that Li Shi still has no intention of recovering the land in the Northern Expedition, but he can raise troops to come, maybe it is aimed at her, the queen mother. She was not asking how to protect Daqing, but how to protect herself.
The courtiers had a withered face, and did not dare to mention who stirred up this chaos, and suggested one after another that they had to let the Nanban quickly see the sincerity of the Qing Dynasty's reparation and the ability of the Qing Dynasty to govern the north.
"100,000 heads to thank the country!"
Naqin's speech was sonorous and powerful, anyway, this head was from Han. In addition to arresting the murderers of the Nanban, the people who had made a fuss before were also wantonly arrested, killing a river of blood, and scaring the Nanban.
"I am afraid that it will be difficult for people to explain ...... people"...,
Zhang Tingyu couldn't bear to speak after all, how could he just kill the grass people? Of course, those who have the status to bear the responsibility of this chaos are either Manchen or Wu Xiang who are "green flag people".
Ru Xi gritted his teeth and said, "The governor of Beizhili, the Yin of Shuntian Mansion, and the governor of Shanxi, will be punished together!" Whoever made the most noise before will take his head! ”
The taste of cooking lackeys is too heavy, based on her face, she added: "The mourning family is for them to make noise for the people to parade the streets, not for them to make noise for the people to burn, kill and loot!" ”
Then the specific deployment was discussed, Ru Xi made a decision, and the three major battalions all moved, Qingfu and Gao Qimourning suppressed the chaos in Beijing, Yan Huang led the Xishan battalion to Tanggu, and Ne Qin led the Fengtai battalion to Shanxi to suppress the rebellion, and at the same time to prevent the Nanban from entering the Kou.
All kinds of measures are just a response to the Qing Dynasty, Ru Xi waited for a long time, didn't wait for the answer she really needed, and glared at Wu Xiang for a while before Wu Xiang reacted.
"The Queen Mother is here, the Qing Dynasty is here, just in case, please also ask the Queen Mother to patrol the Rehe!"
When these words came out, everyone coughed, patrolling? It's December......
"This ...... Summer...... Uh......"
Wu Xiang was also anxious, and changed his words again, coughing louder.
"Okay, in order to protect this country, the mourning family has also let it out."
Ru Xi didn't care about this, and hurriedly used the ladder to go down the wall.
In early December, the wind blowing under the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty suddenly changed, and Emperor Daoguang hurriedly ascended the throne, and then followed the Queen Mother and the important ministers of the clan to "tour the north" Rehe. Then a large number of banner soldiers entered the city of Beijing, wantonly hunted and killed the people, and the officials from all over the country who received the supreme edict also hurriedly ordered the men and horses to sweep the rule, and the originally vigorous public opinion movement ushered in the curtain of the butcher's knife.
On December 10, He Zhi, who was physically exhausted but his mind had been sublimated, returned to Beijing and was surprised to see that the streets were empty.
"Run away, the government is taking people, and everyone is on the list."
"Lord Captain of the City Gate? Shuntian Mansion Yin has been beheaded, and Qingfu, the commander of the Nine Gates, doesn't still have to negotiate with Nanban, I'm afraid that he has already been imprisoned! ”
asked about "comrades-in-arms", and the answer made He Zhi frightened.
How so? The great cause of opposing the Nanban is in full swing, when killing those Nanban in Tanggu, see them fearful, see them begging for mercy, and be really happy, what is there to be afraid of Nanban?
Something must have gone wrong......
He Zhi was unwilling and went to find his "mentor" Hong Ding.
Just outside Hong Ding's house, He Zhizheng saw Hong Ding being tied up with five flowers and dragged out by a group of flag soldiers, so shocked that he almost tore off his braids.
Hong Ding also saw him, but his mouth was blocked by rags, and he couldn't say anything, so he nodded vigorously. He Zhi burst into tears, there are traitors in the court, every time there is a national disaster, there are always traitors, and the mentor was killed by these traitors!
The mentor must have to hide by himself, yes, stay in the green mountains, not afraid of running out of firewood......
He Zhi said goodbye with tears, Hong Ding whined for a long time, and the flag soldier took out the rags, and he shouted: "There is another person, he is the most troublesome leader in Dongcheng!" He also killed the people from the south in Tanggu, catch him! ”
Chased by a large number of flag soldiers, He Zhi clenched his fists and swore an oath, Brother Hong, I will definitely inherit your legacy! (To be continued) RQ
