Chapter 85: The Thirty Years of the Chinese New Year's Eve

For Lin Haijiang, in all fairness, he doesn't mind changing the so-called historical trend, if he doesn't change the historical trend, he will still be a fart? Stupid eating and waiting for death can't be done? But Lin Haijiang knows that his so-called biggest advantage is that he knows the trend of history.

If he loses this advantage, compared with the people of this era, Lin Haijiang can be said to be useless, at least he is still semi-illiterate, he only recognizes simplified characters, and he has a considerable number of traditional characters to recognize, even if he recognizes, he will be exposed when he mentions the pen.

Lin Haijiang remembers that the founding fathers were nothing more than beautiful calligraphy, and they all used the writing style from right to left and top to bottom? Why did a simplified Chinese word suddenly pop up later? Could it be that this Chinese culture should also advance with the times?

Therefore, in Lin Haijiang's view, it is okay to change history, but it is necessary to change something worthwhile and valuable!

Lin Haijiang proposed to take advantage of the Beijing camp meeting years ago, the idea of seeing the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army was strongly supported by Prince Yi Zaiyuan, and soon after playing Xianfeng, the palace sent a guard to Lin Haijiang to lead the way, and when the people in the palace arrived, Lin Haijiang was still an acquaintance? Relin!

However, now Ruilin doesn't dare to call Lin Haijiang a brother and sister, Lin Haijiang's second-grade top wear makes Ruilin a lot more cautious, but Lin Haijiang didn't treat him as an outsider, let alone put on a show, which made Ruilin immediately grateful, so he introduced today's meeting to Lin Haijiang more diligently.

There are only two or three kittens in the huge Xishan school field? After greeting Lin Haijiang and Ruilin warmly, several Qian always said that they came too early.

So everyone drank tea together, knocked melon seeds, and chatted to pass the time at the table that had been prepared in the greenhouse for more than an hour, and the school field slowly became lively, but what made Lin Haijiang wonder was that the people on the school field were all wearing all kinds of horse coats and robes?

Rui Lin explained on the side: "Lord Lin, those empty-handed soldiers are all soldiers who have come to practice, and most of the people with weapons and smoking guns are minions of their respective families, as for those who carry bird cages and eagles, it is not necessarily, most of them are martial artists and the like. ”

Lin Haijiang looked at the school field and kept bowing and greeting a good New Year, or around the birdcage there to comment, or take some rare things and everyone got together, and asked puzzledly: "Ruilin, are they going to spend this morning?" ”

Ruilin nodded and smiled: "That's basically it, let's chat together, and when the military department comes to the chief officer in a while, the meeting will be over after the instruction." ”

Lin Haijiang was suddenly surprised: "In this case, why do you have to continue to practice in the imperial court, it is better to let them go home and stay, when the emperor went out on patrol, I saw that the Shenji Battalion and the Xiaoqi Battalion were quite similar?" ”

Ruilin said helplessly: "What you saw that day was the personal entourage of Ouchi, those are only a few thousand people, this is the real Shenji Battalion, the troops of the Xiaoqi Battalion, and now the hardcore crops of the banner people are still not as good as before, everyone has nothing to register here, more or less you can get some silver to supplement the family, and everyone has gathered here to socialize for many years." ”

Lin Haijiang's face was ugly, although his expression was very regretful and painful, but his heart was happy, the appearance of the forbidden army of the Qing Dynasty was only good for him, and it was no wonder that Xianfeng was helpless against the monk Lingqin who was sitting on the Mongolian iron horse.

After seeing the solid stone of the Qing Empire, Lin Haijiang's mood can be described as very comfortable, but he still has no clue about how to train the army. In Lin Haijiang's opinion, this is pure nonsense.

In order to be able to return to Guangzhou as soon as possible, Lin Haijiang sent a telegram to dispatch the Zhenyuan and Dingyuan ships to Tianjin, and on the other hand, he was ready to take advantage of the Chinese New Year to report good news to Xianfeng, saying that he had reached an agreement to purchase ships.

The Chinese New Year's Eve Xianfeng gave a banquet to the courtiers, and the officials who entered the palace along the way were all overjoyed, but Lin Haijiang's mood was a little low, and Lin Haijiang was relieved when he arrived at the place, and the main hall of the Wanshou Palace could be described as full of people, and the officials at all levels of the emperor's banquet were seated according to the level of civil and martial arts.

Lin Haijiang chose a seemingly remote corner and sat in a group of civil officials, among which the highest official position is from the fourth grade, it stands to reason that these little officials may not be able to mix a feast in a few years, it can be said that this year is the Xianfeng Great Joy Banquet Ministers, Lin Haijiang such a character suddenly appeared in a position where he should not appear, but no one at the same table dared to remind him, so everyone was embarrassed.

Lin Haijiang saw that these officials didn't move their chopsticks? I chose some dry oil and stuffed it into my arms, so I pulled a six-grade scribe next to me very strangely and said, "Why don't they eat it, put it in their arms?" ”

The scribe saw that Lin Haijiang was also very good at talking, so he smiled awkwardly and said: "The opportunity is rare, and the officials also want to let the family members be exposed to the blessings and nobility of the royal family." ”

As he spoke, the scribe glanced at the plate of golden longevity peaches on the table not far away and said, "Those lucky peaches are reserved for the adults, but unfortunately they don't have our share." ”

As soon as he spoke, he suddenly remembered Lin Haijiang's grade, so he immediately shut up, Lin Haijiang smiled helplessly when he saw the actions of these so-called people who danced and wrote ink, got up and went straight to the offering table, picked up two plates of tribute peaches and left, and the little eunuchs on the side were dumbfounded.

Almost everyone set their eyes on Lin Haijiang, but Lin Haijiang seemed to be unaware of it, and returned to the table to share peaches with everyone? Like the Monkey King of Huaguo Mountain, the civil officials present were dumbfounded, how could the tribute peach on the table be taken casually if there was no will?

Holding the peaches one by one, I don't know what to do, Xianfeng, who was standing behind the curtain, saw Lin Haijiang split the peaches and laughed with tears, so he deliberately waited for a while, wanting to see what else Lin Haijiang could do.

In desperation, Monk Lingqin got up personally and brought Lin Haijiang back to his seat, and Lin Haijiang knew that he was sitting in the wrong place?

After Xianfeng sat down, the ministers immediately dodged and knelt to greet him, and after being exempted from courtesy, Xianfeng's first sentence was to order the imperial dining room to prepare a hundred tribute peaches for Lin Haijiang to take away, except for Lin Haijiang who was grateful, the rest of the people were smiling crookedly.

Xianfeng, who had feasted on the courtiers at the Chinese New Year's Eve, looked radiant, and Lin Haijiang also took the opportunity to add icing on the cake and reported the purchase of ships to reach an agreement.

Immediately, Xianfeng, who seemed to be overwhelmed by alcohol, drove the Old Summer Palace with the help of Yi nobles, and the ministers present when the emperor left also seemed more relaxed, especially the military generals who broke out a few foul words from time to time.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Lin Haijiang has undoubtedly become the biggest beneficiary, during the banquet, Su Shun drank a few cups with Prince Yi Zaiyuan and Monk Greenqin, and glanced at Lin Haijiang meaningfully, what kind of historical figure is Su Shun, Monk Greenqin Lin Haijiang naturally knows in his heart.

After Su Shun left, Jing Shou came to ask for warmth again, which made Lin Haijiang feel that this person was really good, and he was very sympathetic to the suffering of the front-line soldiers, but Seng Lingqin didn't seem to appreciate it, so he coped with it.

After the banquet was over, Prince Yi Zaiyuan said to Lin Haijiang in the car: "Su Shun and Jing Shou are mortal enemies, the difference is that Jing Shou is just a pawn, and it is Jing Shou who has hindered you from rewarding you twice before, how about it?" Can't you see it, right? ”

Lin Haijiang shook his head helplessly and said, "I can't see it!" ”

Prince Yi Zaiyuan smiled and said, "Remember! Those who kill people are all hidden knives, and they don't see blood, so you should be cautious when you have a advantage to take advantage of them, and you just need to weigh more. ”

Lin Haijiang took a deep breath, in this era of people playing with people, his tricks and brains are really not enough, and it is very likely that he will be played to death and he will not know how he died.

Although Su Shun speaks for himself, he is afraid that he also has his own purpose, and he has been valued by Prince Yi Zaiyuan, and it is inconvenient to contact other people outside too closely, Prince Yi Zaiyuan is still a little insightful, how many people can mix like a fish in water in the palace and the court are given for nothing?

Lin Haijiang had already sent a telegram to the Guangzhou side, asking Zhenyuan and Dingyuan to bring all the Helif and Omanley five-son fast guns, as well as Henry's connecting rifles, and Lin Haijiang knew very well that according to the calculation of time, the first batch of improved firing needle metal cartridge cartridge rifles produced by Prussia should arrive soon, and he would buy all the original weapons at a good price before the unified standard of weapons was convenient for the supply of ammunition.

Lin Haijiang was greatly annoyed by the expensive telegraph fees and the attitude of ignoring the British, and at the same time he was determined that he must have his own telegraph line.

The fierce fighting on the outskirts of Tientsin caused great losses to the Henry Rifle and the Omanli Five-Son Rifle that he had previously sold him, some of which were captured by the Taiping army and some of which were damaged.

You must know that whether it is the Ommanley five-son fast rifle or the Henry connecting rifle, there is a fatal problem, that is, the structure is complex, and it needs to be extremely carefully maintained in order to exert combat effectiveness.

Where did the Qing army, who fought desperately in the mud and snow, have the consciousness to maintain their weapons? They are all spokesmen for the doctrine of use, and when they kill the red eye, they will smash the butt of the gun, and the butt and handle of the gun will naturally disappear after the battle.

The only way for Monk Greenqin to deal with it is to find Lin Haijiang to buy more weapons, only when he gets more weapons can he win the battle, in order to capture more bandits to Lin Haijiang to offset the account, after the completion of the first transaction, Monk Greenqin has sent dozens of waves of horse teams to collect the Taiping prisoners everywhere, and also ordered that all departments are strictly forbidden to kill and abuse prisoners at will.

Fighting a war may not be the strong point of the Qing army, but doing business is the first way, and even the black market is available for a few days, and the Taiping prisoners who originally didn't want money have risen from five dollars of silver to three taels, and Qi Shan, Bao Sheng and others are secretly sending people to contact Lin Haijiang.

For a time, Lin Haijiang became a hot figure.
