"Yizhong country! Yidun Xinyi! It is advisable to be frugal and simple! Be disciplined! It is advisable to be martial and brave! ”

Downstairs in the parade, the majestic soldiers were like rainbows, the shouts were terrifying, and the phalanxes lined up in rows and rows, all of which were snow-white uniforms, were three million jade dragons flying, which made Zhou Tian cold.

On review are 5,000 heavy infantry from the Royal Heavy Infantry Janissaries Brigade (formerly the Heavy Infantry Commando of the Land Service Regiment).

In the distance, a phalanx of horse lancers slowly marched, snow-white horses, white military uniforms, rifles like a forest, huge coercion rushed to the face, and the high-pitched command of the current platoon commander sounded "salute——! Each phalanx immediately flew like snowflakes, the carbine was withdrawn, inserted in the back, neat and neat, the saber out of the sheath, the snowy blade was like the ocean, the golden handle was held in front of the chest, and the golden Luo tent on the Yuewu Tower was full of excitement.

"Hooray! Banzai! Banzai! ”

The cavalry phalanx erupted in an excited shout that surpassed the sky.

Royal Guards Cavalry Regiment (formerly known as the Yulin Guards Cavalry), 1000 heavy cavalry.

At the beginning of 1863, the empire officially issued the "Imperial Chinese Army Handplate" and "Imperial Chinese Navy Handplate", which are similar to the soldier's certificate and military ID, dark purple cover, and the words of the handplate written by Emperor Shengde himself.

On the upper floor of the parade, Ye Zhao's golden dragon robe was majestic and noble.

On both sides, standing are the Outer Mongolian Chechen Khan Khan King Ulihan, the Tushetu Khan Khan King Chelin Dorji, and two lamas, an old man and a young one.

The old lama is the 7th Jebtsundamba Living Buddha, and the little lama is the 4th Zhangjia Living Buddha.

At present, there are four major living Buddhas, [***], Jebu Tsundamba, Panchen Lama, and Zhangjia, who are in charge of Tibetan Province and Mongolian Huangjiao affairs.

Generally speaking, [***] is in charge of Tibetan Province, Panchen is in charge of Houzang, Jebu Tsundan is in charge of Outer Mongolia, and Zhang Jia is in charge of Inner Mongolia.

Both the Panchen Lama and Zhang Jia were sealed by the Qing Dynasty to improve their status, and from a political point of view, the Panchen Lama was a check and balance, and Zhang Jia was a check and balance against Jebtsundamba.

Although the area of Tibet under the Panchen's control is small, it is the throat of the main road leading from Tibet Province to the southwestern countries, and if Tibet wants to contact the outside world, it must be managed by the Panchen Lama.

Zhangjia Hutuketu, who managed the Yellow Sect in Inner Mongolia, began in the Kangxi period, the first Zhang Jia was born in the family surnamed Zhang, originally known as Zhangjia, and later changed to Zhangjia, Hutuketu is the meaning of the sage.

As for the living Buddha of Jebtsundamba in Outer Mongolia, the Qing Dynasty controlled it more strictly, stipulating that the reincarnation of Jebtsundamba must be found in the Litang area of Sichuan, and the decision was made in the golden vase of the Yonghe Palace in Yanjing, so as to prevent Jebtsundamba from combining with the secular rights of the local princes of Outer Mongolia, and put the minister of Kulun to jointly manage Outer Mongolia.

Kulen is the future Ulaanbaatar.

Among the four tribes of Outer Mongolia, the areas where the central government is allowed to pasture grass are Zasaktu Khan, Sainnoyan Khan, Tushetu Khan, and Chechen Khan from west to east.

Kulen is in the grassland of the Tushetu Khan Department, and the Tushetu Khan Department has always been the head of the four tribes of Outer Mongolia, and the strength is the strongest.

After the Chechen Khan invaded a large area of traditional pastures and plundered countless livestock, the Tushetu Khan hurriedly asked for help from the Southern Dynasty, which had not yet established a state, and formally surrendered to the Southern Dynasty.

On the New Year of this year, the old Khan of the Tushetu Khan Department, King Chelin Dorji, brought Jebtsundamba, who was practicing at Kulun Qingning Monastery, to Beijing to meet His Majesty the Emperor.

His move is tantamount to offering the Living Buddha of Outer Mongolia, and his allegiance is extremely pious.

As for the living Buddha Zhangjia who managed the Yellow Sect in Inner Mongolia, he had always lived in Beijing, and was now just 14 years old, and entered Beijing as a reincarnated spirit child at the age of eight, and according to tradition, he would be sent to Tibet Province to study the Dharma, and return to Beijing at the age of 20 after receiving the Great Ordination.

Although Zhang Jia is young, he has his own big world, the six kings fled from the capital, and wanted to take him with him, but he refused to follow, at that time, the army was in chaos, and the six kings couldn't take care of him for a while, and when they sent someone to find him, they couldn't find it again.

On the eve of the New Year, Ye Zhao re-canonized Ulihan as the Khan of Chechnya, Chelin Dorji as the Khan of Tushetu Khan, and the 7th Jebtsundamba Kaizhubu Dansang as the Great Lama of Hutuketu to oversee the religious affairs of the Khalkha Department in Outer Mongolia.

He also made Zhang Jia a great teacher, and promised to send him to Tibet to study the Dharma soon.

During the New Year, the two living Buddhas wiped Ye Zhao's clothes and prayed for blessings, and Ye Zhao's heart was peaceful and peaceful.

Today, it is said that the military parade with the two Khans of Outer Mongolia and the two living Buddhas of Mongolia, seeing the prosperity of the new dynasty, the old Khan King Chelin Dorji is in a state of disappointment.

The parade uniform is different from the combat uniform, but it is even more powerful.

Ye Zhao said to Jebu Zundamba and Zhang Jia: "Shame and shame, the murder of weapons, in fact, what is the truth?" ”

Jebtsundamba bowed slightly: "The emperor has a great bodhicitta and is good." ”

Zhang Jia clasped his hands together and said: "There is a magic barrier, there is a murder weapon, the emperor's law is the people of the world, and he has his own treasure to protect the law." ”

Ye Zhao was slightly stunned, in fact, Zhang Jia's voice was slightly immature, in Ye Zhao's eyes, he was a delicate little Zhengtai who was less than thirteen years old, during the Chinese New Year, no one looked left and right, Ye Zhao also pinched his face, and really felt that his decent monk was really cute.

At that time, Zhang Jia was stunned for a while, but it was obvious that when he saw Ye Zhao again, his eyes were a little closer, obviously no one had ever loved him so much.

Looking at him, Ye Zhao said: "The national teacher has great wisdom, which is really the blessing of the community. ”

While Ye Zhao was talking to the two living Buddhas, the old Khan kings Chelin Dorji and Ulihan were listening quietly.

At this time, Ye Zhao looked at Jebtsundamba again and said, "Can the master repair the book to Zasaktu and Sainnoyan and persuade them to surrender so that their lives will not be ruined." ”

The four divisions of Outer Mongolia, the two divisions of Zasaktu and Sainnoyan did not fall.

At present, the First Group Army of the Red Lady Department and the First Cavalry Division of the Xiangshan Group Army have entered Inner Mongolia, all because the Mongolian Eight Banners are in chaos, some of the alliances and flags have surrendered, some still have illusions about the Six Kings, and even more stubbornly resist, so that the Mongolian banners can see the military might of the empire, which is quite helpful for the rapid pacification of Inner Mongolia.

However, Outer Mongolia is sparsely populated and has a vast area, and it is a good idea to surrender by force, and it will be long-lasting.

Outside the Guan, Han Jinchun's troops broke Fengtianfu and won successive battles, and the governor of Jilin surrendered, and now Han Jinchun's troops are stationed in Jilin Mansion, preparing to launch a final attack on the remnants of the north on the south bank of the lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River.

Hongniang's Second Army and Xiangshan Group Army broke through Yige, attacking from two directions, the Second Army arrived at Heihefu, and the banner soldiers in the upper reaches of Heilongjiang either surrendered or fled to the north bank of Heilongjiang.

However, the Xiangshan Army crossed the Ergun River and pointed its troops directly at Nebuchu, and annihilated an armed force of several hundred Russians.

At present, the Russian ambassador has protested to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Yenching one after another, saying that China has launched a war of aggression against Russia, and if it continues to act recklessly, it will encounter the fiercest retaliation from Russia.

In fact, Ye Zhao is testing the patience of the Russians, and now it seems that the Russians are not determined enough to start a real contest with China in Siberia, but it will naturally have to pay the price for sending a naval army and an army to support the northern country, so that he will be dumb and unable to say that he will suffer from Coptis chinensis, of course, we must also pay attention to not really anger this polar bear for the time being, so as not to cause trouble and make China miss the best opportunity for development.

Seeing that Zhebu Zundanba was good and promised to write a letter to the two ministries of Outer Mongolia, Ye Zhao smiled slightly, and then went down to the martial arts building with everyone.

…… Yuewulou is in Xiangshanxi, the northern suburb of the capital, and Ye Zhao immediately went to Xiangshan Jingyi Garden. The spring flowers are blooming, the fragrant hills are undulating, the forests are luxuriant, and the clouds and mist are quiet and ethereal.

Nowadays, almost the entire Xiangshan is a royal garden, Ye Zhao can't help but feel strange in his heart, feeling that he has occupied the things of all mankind, but the current situation is like this, he can't always behave too differently, not to mention what about the future generations, alas, don't mention it.

The spring is warm, and Ye Zhao knows that Jinfeng and Rong'er have come to Xiangshan to play with them.

But I don't want to go upstairs in Zhengning Garden, but there is one more guest.

Zhengning Garden is a triple courtyard, near the left, a rainbow spring flows out from the cave, forms a small waterfall, green wood flow spring, beautiful, Changfeng Building is in the north of Zhengning Garden, two-storey attic, flying eaves and green tiles, elegant and chic.

In the window on the second floor, you can overlook the wonders of Xiangshan, you can see the Gorgeous Autumn Forest, Yuxiang Pavilion, Xiyang A, Furong Ping, Xiangwu Cave, Qiyue Cliff, Xishan Qingxue from afar, stand at the window, enjoy the beautiful scenery, the breeze blows, which is refreshing.

At this moment, in front of the window, there is a mahjong table, four Jinfeng, Yingying Yanyan, playing mahjong.

Ye Zhao traveled all the way, without asking the guards to pass it on, entered the house, and was stunned for a moment when he saw this situation.

In front of the mahjong table, there were four women, Jin Feng, Shawa, Jin Feng close to the cuckoo, and there was also a beautiful young woman wearing a new cheongsam.

Jin Feng was obviously startled, the cuckoo's face was even pale, and she sat down to play mahjong with the noble concubine and the noble lady, which was like sitting on pins and needles, and when the emperor saw it, she immediately panicked, knelt down in a hurry, and kowtowed again and again.

Jin Feng has also been full of blessings, and said delicately: "The concubine sees the emperor", the bright yellow cheongsam with purple edges, the beautiful legs in stockings, and the curves are wonderful when bowing.

Sava became a nobleman, and she also had to learn the rules of the court, wearing a white gauze skirt with a hot surname, blinking her deep blue eyes, she gently tugged on her skirt and bowed, and the etiquette of combining things and things: "Your Majesty the Emperor, your wife Sava would like to pay you the most sincere respect." ”

Ye Zhao coughed, and wanted to laugh every time he saw Sava like this.

"Where's Rong'er and Hua Ji?" Ye Zhao glanced at the room and asked.

"The queen mother and the concubine are tired, and they are resting in Senyutang." Cuckoo replied cautiously.

Ye Zhao snorted, glanced at the young woman who was at a loss, and Jin Feng had already whispered: "Your Majesty, she is my friend, I, I didn't know you would come over." He hurriedly turned around and said, "Peony, why don't you come to see the emperor soon?" ”

The young woman was already stunned, and she didn't know how to react for a while, she had just been picked up in Xiangshan, and she only knew that the scenery here was extremely beautiful, but she didn't know that it was in the royal garden of Xiangshan.

Although she and Jin Feng are friends, and she also knows that Jin Feng seems to be a noble lady of the clan, she never expected to meet the emperor, it is impossible that the few people in front of her are acting together to deceive herself.

Ye Zhao smiled and said, "It's okay, you guys play." ”

Jin Feng was close to Ye Zhao and said: "Your Majesty, Peony used to be the Oiran of the Qingyin Xiaoban, and he had already removed the card after saving a sum of silver, but a consolation envoy in the army heard her fame, and repeatedly handed her a post to ask her to come over, but Peony refused, and the consolation envoy released the words, if Peony didn't know how to lift, he would rob her to go over." ”

He also said: "Peony was met by a concubine at a fundraiser, and she is a very good person, but she invested a lot of silver dollars in the education fundraiser, you see......"

Ye Zhao frowned slightly: "What kind of consolation envoy?" Which town? ”

Jin Feng said: "I don't know this, the concubine just heard her today, and she hasn't had time to inquire about it yet." I only heard that this consolation envoy seemed to admire peony before the peony was removed, but his status was low at that time, and then he went out for a few years, and he didn't know how to get the name of a consolation envoy...... "Speaking of this, he hurriedly stopped his mouth and said: "Concubine, concubine vain......

Ye Zhao waved his hand, to say that it is indeed the current system, the Northern [***] system, the level of the Xuan Xuan envoy and the commander of the infantry regiment is average, equivalent to the regiment-level cadres in later generations, the officers of the green battalion who have been recruited, the leaders of the armed groups of the people, plus the miscellaneous armed leaders who have been recruited, and even in Sichuan, Guanwai and the Northwest, some bandit leaders have also been temporarily appointed as consolation envoys to win over and appease.

The consolation envoy can really be said to be all over the place.

If Jin Feng wants to take care of this matter, it is a matter of one sentence, but when it comes to the army, she naturally does not dare to assert it.

Ye Zhao thought for a while and said, "You asked her to go to Dali Courtyard to deliver the certificate." "When the Dali Yuan receives such a case, it will be transferred to the Military Discipline Supervision Division under the Royal Military Commission in accordance with the laws of the new dynasty, and if the situation is serious, it will be tried by the Royal Military Law Department under the Military Council.

Ye Zhao just wanted to see how the Dali Yuan and the Military Supervision Department would deal with this matter.

"You go on." Ye Zhao walked out, but who would continue? Sava chased him out, and Jin Feng smiled and invited Peony to sit on a chair with her.

Peony was suspicious, she was originally a friend who could talk to her at the fundraising party, but in a blink of an eye, she became a mother Chitose, where did this start?

"You go back and write a letter and send it to Dali Yuan, otherwise, I'll write it for you?" Jin Feng knew that Peony didn't know a few words.

"Niangniang, I ,......" Peony suddenly remembered that she had just forgotten to kowtow to the emperor in a panic, her face turned white, she got up busily, and wanted to bow down, Jin Feng pulled her up, sighed and said, "How good is it if you don't have this?" I don't really have a lot of friends I can talk to. ”

He said: "You don't have to worry about this, the emperor knows about it, and he can still make you suffer?" ”

"Yes, thank you, thank you." Peony lowered her head and didn't dare to call Sister Jinfeng anymore.

"You can go back." Jin Feng got up and said, "I'll send you out, and I'll ask you for tea another day." ”

"Yes." Peony hurriedly kowtowed and retired.

In fact, in the imperial etiquette, kneeling has been abolished, and only one knee is required to bow to the emperor on formal occasions, and now there is no need to bow down in the face of the concubine Niangniang on such occasions. But deep-rooted traditions are not so easy to change.

If you want to talk about Jin Feng, the most proud thing is that she returned to her hometown after being canonized as a concubine, and watched those noblewomen who had fought with her in the past run to the door to kowtow to herself, and the satisfaction in her heart was incomparable.

is polite to the peony words, but seeing these women with different styles, they all have to bow down at their feet, enjoying the noble status of the concubine Niangniang, and they have a sense of glory, as for saying that there are no friends and loneliness? It was purely a disease-free moan, Jin Feng didn't have any kindness to people, didn't it.
