When Zhao Sanbao's soldiers came to the city of Chengdu, the Southern Dynasty countless scholars paid attention to the first time to open a branch to take scholars, and the regent personally named the champion, who was a native of Liuzhou, Guangxi, called Jia Linsheng, the word Qingyuan, 27 years old, born in Guangzhou.

Ye Zhao's strategy is very simple, two questions, the first is to ask everyone to explain the international political situation, and look forward to the opportunity of the rise of the southern country, this is just a matter of vision. The second question is about the way of money.

Jia Linsheng was obviously extremely concerned about the current situation, not only mentioning that the French had made a comeback in Vietnam and took advantage of the war between the north and the south to obtain the concessions of ports such as Vung Tau, but also said that because of the war between the north and the south, Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, Qinghai, Xinjiang Province and other places have successively returned to rebellion, which is really worrying. Internationally, Jia Linsheng's proposal to join Britain to resist Russia is naturally immature, but in this era, some of the things in it are also the Tao, and they can be regarded as having their own ideas.

On the way to currency, Jia Linsheng also did his homework and explained very clearly the relationship between paper money and gold, silver and precious metals.

In fact, what Ye Zhao admires most about him is his keen insight into the domestic situation.

It seems that because of the Civil War, the six kings were tyrannical and insolvent to maintain the situation in the northwest frontier, and the change that should have occurred in a few years was likely to break out in advance.

There are also quite a few intelligence groups of the Internal Affairs Office in the northwest, all of which are things that Ye Zhao Lingruisi must do, such as Lanzhou, where the Internal Affairs Office has a huge intelligence system in operation.

It is not difficult to understand Ye Zhao's concern about the northwest, and there are more information exchanges, but Jia Linsheng is keenly aware of the problems in the northwest just through the scales and half-claws of newspapers and publications, so he can't help but make Ye Zhao look at it differently, now the people of the Southern Dynasties, most of them are staring at the battlefield of the Central Plains, who will pay attention to the western Xinjiang?

Studying the economy of the country, but talking on paper, this vision is high and low, but it is a judgment, and it is logical to point Jia Linsheng as the champion.

In fact, if you want to say that the scholars' strategies are naturally Zhu Sisi's most clever, following Ye Zhao's side, teaching by word and deed, how can others compare?

Zhu Sisi was pointed out as a flower, naturally Ye Zhao deliberately suppressed it, she is a big cheater, she has been with herself for a long time, it is equivalent to cheating, unlike the students who study hard in the cold window, she naturally wants to give the opportunity to others.

The splendid and spacious Ningji Hall of the Qianwang Palace, there are dozens of red pear wood banquet tables, the champion, the Bangyan, the three new branches, and the fifty Jinshi each have a table, sitting neatly.

There are a lot of dishes with a lot of variety, such as pickles, there are palace radish, honey spicy cucumber, osmanthus kohlrabi, sauce peach kernel four products, appetizers and tangerine peel rabbit meat, strange flavor chicken strips, Tianxiang abalone, three loofah rolls four products, before and after all kinds of appetizers, imperial dishes, dumplings, candied fruits, barbecue, dried fruits, etc., etc., add up to forty or fifty kinds, but each table is on a particularly delicate small plate, taking candied fruit as an example, oranges, begonias, plums, three or two grains per table, so that it will not be extravagant and wasteful when it tastes the world's deliciousness.

Zhu Sisi sat at the third table, with a bright blue silk flag jacket, a well-tailored embroidered pink pleated skirt, white cotton socks and small brown leather shoes, the whole person became more and more delicate and graceful, with outstanding temperament and beautiful lovely.

In addition to the female Tanhua, there are still two women among the fifty jinshi, which is extremely rare.

The students looked at the hall curiously, everything here is undoubtedly new to them, symbolizing the majestic throne of the royal family, the golden furnace of the round lotus seat, the high-hanging octagonal palace lamp, and the royal style is coming.

And the male and female guards wearing straight black uniforms and carrying their hands with neat spirits make people clearly feel the vigor and vitality of the new dynasty.

"His Royal Highness the King has arrived!" With the female guard's crisp shouting, the footsteps came, and the students stood up in a panic, and saw a person outside the hall, walking in quickly, Huang Cancan was dazzling, how dare the students look more, and they bowed their heads one after another.

The official of the Ministry of Education fell to one knee first, and the students who had already performed also bent their knees, and sang in unison with the official: "Your Highness, please see Your Highness!" ”

The one-knee salute is also a new etiquette that Ye Zhao is gradually implementing, and it is used on more solemn occasions.

"Get up!" Ye Zhao walked to the bottom of the throne steps, did not walk on the throne, stretched out his hand, and an attendant next to him offered a glass of wine.

Ye Zhao raised it high and said loudly: "All the monarchs are the hope of the future of this dynasty, this cup of wine, the lonely king and you drink together, I hope you will be diligent and loyal, and share worries for the country!" ”

As he spoke, he raised his glass and drank it all.

The students hurriedly toasted one after another, and some of them who couldn't drink liquor also pinched their noses and swallowed them.

Ye Zhao said again: "The lonely king has excellent expectations for the monarchs, and the so-called residence in the crown must have the atmosphere of mountains and forests; Under the forest spring, it is often the economy of the Lang Temple. In the future, there will be people who will enter the phase, but don't forget the entrustment of the lonely king, don't be blinded by fame and fortune, and bear the talent of the heavens and latitudes, and often have an indifferent heart of fame and fortune! ”

The students listened to the regent's teachings.

"It's a festive day, you wait for a few more drinks." Ye Zhao sat on the throne at this time, and said a few words to Jia Linsheng by name, with him, the students didn't dare to move their chopsticks.

Ye Zhao finally drank another cup with the students, got up and left, so that the Jinshi could really taste the delicious banquet.

Jia Linsheng looked at the back of the regent with excitement, the title of the gold list, the regent summoned and encouraged, and glorified the ancestors, it was like a dream, and he would definitely do a good job in the future and live up to the expectations of the prince and his old man.

Inadvertently, I caught a glimpse of the beautiful color on the right, this woman is so beautiful, I don't know which family's young lady, Tanhua, Jinshi and first, as a woman, this talent is really amazing.

If you can find out where she comes from, ask someone to propose?

Immediately, Jia Linsheng shook his head for a while, and sighed in his heart, he was only afraid that it was just delusional. The young lady who can get a jinshi, which one is not a wealthy family, it is quite good for ordinary women to learn to read and write. And his family is poor, he has been frugal and hard studying all these years, and he has not yet married a wife when he is near, how can he be delusional as soon as he gets his ambition? What are your ambitions? It's impossible to think about it, it's better to be down-to-earth.

After thinking about it, I suddenly found that the beautiful color on the right side was no longer there, and I couldn't help but feel confused.

Zhu Sisi, naturally, sneaked out to find Ye Zhao.

In the warm pavilion of the east side hall, Ye Zhao and Zhu Sisi sat on both sides of the kang table for lunch, and there were just a few light snacks on the table.

"Tanhualang, have a drink?" Ye Zhao flipped through the folds in his hand, and glanced at Zhu Sisi with a smile, he has been busy with government and military affairs recently, and he has learned to use three things.

In the past two days, Ye Zhao has called Sisi Tanhualang, Zhu Sisi glanced at him, and said: "You deliberately suppressed me, I read Jia Linsheng's article, and I didn't write it well!" ”

Ye Zhao smiled and said: "You are already quite amazing, the first champion of our new dynasty, you can't choose the princess, sometimes, it's not just that we can be upright." ”

Zhu Sisi also understood this, snorted, and said, "Ignore you tonight." ”

Ye Zhao was amused and laughed, it was rare for Sisi to be coquettish with herself, it was so cute.

"Just ignore me?" Ye Zhao smiled and put down the recital.

Zhu Siqiao's face flushed, this pervert seems to like the overlord to bow hard.

At this time, the guards came in to tell him, and Jia Linsheng was waiting outside the palace.

It was Ye Zhao who ordered the guards to wait for the banquet to summon him, and he personally ordered the first champion of the new dynasty, which really gave him a sense of accomplishment.

Jia Linsheng is a person, Ye Zhao is going to put him in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for some training, observation and observation, and then use it.

"Call him." Ye Zhao made a gesture, and Zhu Sisi hurriedly jumped off the kang and avoided the side door. Looking at her delicate figure, Ye Zhao sighed in his heart, these outstanding women are willing to be by their side, what kind of blessing have they cultivated in their lives?

…… In April 1862, a major war broke out in the battlefields of northern Anhui and southern Lunan at the same time, especially in the northern Anhui battlefield, where Zheng Zewu and Seng Lingqin fought fiercely in Lu'an and Gwangju.

Zheng Zewu had a total of 60 infantry battalions, reconnaissance battalions, cavalry battalions, five artillery battalions, and more than 35,000 combatants of the main force, as well as the general of the three-way appeasement regiment appointed by the Southern Dynasties, totaling more than 10,000 people, and more than 20,000 large and small militia groups on hundreds of roads, plus the requisitioned people, and more than 100,000 people on the battlefield.

There were more than 15,000 people in the Monk Lingqin Division, not only did the reinforcements arrive late, but even the supply was cut off by the Southern Dynasties, and the victory or defeat of this battle can be known.

Monk Greenqin's entire army was annihilated, and he led several of his own soldiers to escape, but he encountered a militia squad and was shot and his head was cut off.

When the news came, Ye Zhao was stunned, could it be that history is really a strange circle? The monk king I was a hero, but after all, he couldn't escape the fate of being killed by unknown soldiers.

Zheng Zewu immediately got the order of the regent and the staff of the military department, waved his army to the north, and connected the Henan Prefecture capital, and by June, the momentum was like a bamboo, and he conquered Zhengzhou.

When some of the troops of Shenbao and Harwich entered Shaanxi, and Zheng Zewu conquered Zhengzhou, the Shenbao Department and the Harwich Department and the Zhulu Regiment marched together and approached Xi'an.

Ye Zhao appointed the governor of Hubei and the chief officer of the patrol army, and at the same time, more than 10,000 patrol troops that had already been formed entered Hubei, all of which were dispatched to patrol the provinces, quell the rebellion and suppress thieves in Hubei, pacify the people, and at the same time reorganize the appeasement regiments appointed by the Southern Dynasties who did not go north with the army.

Soon after Zheng Zewu conquered Zhengzhou, Yan Mingjing, the governor of Shandong, defected and sent troops to attack Zuo Zongtang's grain route.

Zuo Zongtang, who was shocked when he saw the matchmaker, hurriedly took the class and recaptured Jinan, and Yan Mingjing fled to Qingzhou. But at this time, more than 10,000 people of Zuo Zongtang's Yongyi Army in Lunan were surrounded and annihilated by the Red Lady Department.

Zuo Zongtang received an urgent telegram from the six kings, led the remnants to retreat to the north bank of the Yellow River, and in July, the Red Lady Department recovered Jinan.

Immediately, Ye Zhao issued the "General Mobilization Order of the Whole Army", calling on the whole army of Pingyuan to fight bravely, recover the entire northern territory, Ke Yanjing, and capture the national thieves.

In August, more than 100,000 troops crossed the Yellow River, and countless people surrendered to the state capital along the way, and the first step of the Red Lady Forward Corps even broke through to Hejian Mansion.

At the same time, the Outer Mongolian Chechen Khan suddenly attacked the Xilin Gol League, and the Khan King Ulihan declared that he was subordinate to the regent of the southern country, and his troops did not know when they had a carabine team of about 3,000 people.

Immediately, the Outer Mongolian Tushetu Khan, which was adjacent to the Chechen Khan, declared that it was subordinate to the Southern Dynasty, apparently fearing that it would be annexed by the Chechen Khan.

…… East Jiaomin Lane, Beijing.

Viscount Brin had also lost his composure, and just a few months ago, after the defeat of the Far East Fleet, the northern kingdom began to lay mines in the vicinity of Dagu to prevent the Pingyuan army from landing in Zhigu and attacking the Beijing division.

This move was protested by Britain, France and the United States, causing great diplomatic disputes.

Who knew that on the land battlefield, the northern kingdom was losing and retreating, and the Pingyuan army was advancing ten times faster than originally expected.

Gui Liang looked anxious: "Mr. Brin, when will your country's Far East Army arrive?" ”

Brin actually didn't know where the Far Eastern Infantry Regiment had gone, or because for various reasons it had not been sent out at all, and now it was difficult to control the overall situation due to the inconvenience of communication.

"Lord Guiliang, for the sake of today's plan, there is only one way, ask the Chinese Emperor to temporarily avoid outside the customs and wait for our country's reinforcements."

Gui Liang sighed deeply, he could only do this, but he didn't know if the emperor would agree or not, and what was even more uncertain was that if the Russian reinforcements couldn't arrive very quickly, what if they retreated to the outside of the border?

Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, and Seng Lingqin, this also lost too quickly, right?

Brin asked with some concern: "Can Yige and Zhao Yongkang be trusted?" ”

Gui Liang was stunned, the Russians were really clear about the situation outside the border.

After the ban was opened, Fengtian and Jilin provinces were set up, and the Heilongjiang area was still a flag system, which was managed by Heilongjiang General Yige, and Zhao Yongkang was the governor of Fengtian.

Now the military horses are also being exercised outside the Guan, and Yige's banner soldiers and Zhao Yongkang's new green battalion are equipped with a large number of firearms, which are the two strongest armed forces outside the Guan.

Apparently because of the sudden defection of the governor of Shandong, the Russians feared a similar change of events outside the Guan.

Gui Liang groaned slightly, Yige is a child of the clan, and the emperor is very favored by him, but Zhao Yongkang is full of joy and anger, and now people's hearts are fluctuating, but they can't be sure.

"You can all trust it." Gui Liang's face was very natural, and he wanted to cheer up the Russians at this time.

Brin bowed slightly, and at this time, there was a knock on the door of the study, and then a Russian attendant walked in, and whispered a few words in Brin's ear, and Brin's face immediately changed, and said: "The South [***] team landed in Lushun. ”

Gui Liang stood up suddenly: "What? ”

Brin looked grim and said, "Lord Guiliang, please enter the palace now to persuade the Great Emperor to leave Yanjing City, I'm afraid it will be too late." ”

The military strategy of the South Korea is clear and clear, and the rings are clearly organized, and there will be no respite for the North and Russia. The southern [***] team that landed at Lushunkou heard that there were quite a few people, including 10,000 or 20,000 people, and they were ready to recover the Guanwai in one go, and they would never give the Northern Emperor time to establish a puppet regime outside the Guan.

Gui Liang didn't speak anymore, and hurriedly got up to say goodbye.

…… The staff room of the Qianwang Mansion was extremely busy, telegrams were forwarded one after another, telegrams were sent one after another, and since the beginning of the war between the north and the south, the lights here have been running all night and 24 hours a day.

Seeing the news of Han Jinchun's successful landing in Lushun, Ye Zhao picked up the teacup, it seems that it is only a matter of time to break through the northern country, but how to build this mess next is a difficult problem, especially the thieves are swarming everywhere, and even the appeasement regiment commanders appointed by the southern country are no different from small warlords.

In the northwest and southwest provinces, if the Southern Dynasty wants to really control it, it will not be a one-time achievement, and it can even be said that even if Yanjing City is laid, the real road to reunification has just begun.

Although Zhao Sanbao conquered Chengdu and the state capitals in Sichuan surrendered one after another, in this country of abundance, thieves were rampant in the poor mountains and bad waters, and there were several bandits in the mountains who heard that there were several groups of thousands of people. In Xichuan, it can be said that there is a long way to go to suppress thieves and calm the people.

There are also the Mongol tribes, although Ulhan and Qinggeltai are their own in-laws, their musketeers must be incorporated into their own army, and a powerful Mongol tribe cannot be allowed to appear on the steppe.

Otherwise, if you have nothing to do now, it will be difficult to talk about it in the future. In everything, it is natural to think about the worst first.

While sipping tea, a staff officer said: "Your Highness, there is a call from Seoul, the Koreans plan to form an infantry regiment of 3,000 people and enter Mukden for General Han to drive." ”

Ye Zhao waved his hand and said: "That's not necessary, ask them to requisition more food, Han Jinchun has just come out of the customs, and food is a big problem." ”

"Wow!" The staff officer agreed, and hurriedly wrote down the words of the regent, and asked the regent Zhu to approve it, so that he could go to the telex room to send a report.

At this time, the Qianqing Palace in the capital is a different scene.

The six kings paced slowly, their faces quite calm.

But the few military planes standing with their hands hanging down below can be miserable, and everyone knows that the battle with Jingxiang has been lost.

Even if you rely on the Russians to support the comeback in the future, you can send people under the fence and rely on Fanbang to fight outside the country, which is not a glorious thing after all.

"Your Majesty, you've caught a few more thieves!" The guards outside the hall hurried in and knelt down to pray.

Nowadays, the people in the capital are panicking, especially in the palace, some eunuchs began to sneak out of the palace, and there are even antique treasures, this is not the first case.

The six kings waved their hands and said, "Do whatever you want." ”

The guards immediately withdrew, and the eunuchs had to suffer a lot.

"Your Majesty, the Russians' idea ......" Gui Liang looked at the face of the six kings cautiously.

The muscles at the corners of the six kings' mouths moved, and finally they let out a long sigh and said, "I'll think about it again, think about it again......"

Du Han hesitated for a moment and said: "With the intention of the minister, it is better to retreat to the outside of the pass, it is better to go to Lanzhou and Dihua in the Mongolian steppe." Jingxiang in the northwest is beyond the reach of the whip, but outside this pass, the military horses of the southern rebellion have landed from Lushun, and there are ungrateful North Korean fans galloping to help, but I am afraid that the ...... outside the pass" glanced at the face of the six kings, and continued: "The Russians have no faith, and their infantry does not know whether it is a quasi-Xin'er, if they go to the pass, the Russian reinforcements will not arrive, but they will ......be tied up" The following two words are too taboo and dare not say any more.

Gui Liang frowned and said, "Dihua? I heard that it's not enough to talk back now, this ......" glanced at the six kings, and swallowed the words back into his stomach.

The six kings paced, silent.

After a long while, he waved his hand and said, "You all go down." ”

Several ministers of military aircraft hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, bowed and withdrew.
