Chapter 499: Why the Qing Officials Are Clear, Why Are They Doing This Crime?
Lang Shining is just a bystander, and the regret and depression outside of the shock of Wuchang are completely different from those of the British Chinese.
"Zhang Boxing, isn't he a Qing official? Isn't it Qingtian? Don't you want to subdue demons and eliminate demons, and your name will be immortal!? He actually ran away!? ”
"The Wuchang prefect named Yang Wenqian is said to be a corrupt official, but in order to protect the lives of people in Wuchang City, he knows that he is bound out of the city, and that Zhang Boxing is really shameless!"
"The face of the Qing official...... It's so bright that flies can't stand. ”
Stepping on the head of the city of Huangzhou Mansion in the east of Wuchang Mansion, the red-clothed generals sneered angrily, and the indignation and sorrow on their faces were still strong.
The city of Wuchang is strong, but it is only the city wall, and the hundreds of thousands of people in the city did not see the Nanban collapse because the demon girl was burned, but when they heard tens of thousands of people angrily shouting in unison to burn the city, their own minds collapsed. Yang Wenqian, the prefect of Wuchang, learned that His Majesty the Emperor of Nanban just wanted to burn the city, and there was still time to escape, so they all fled out of the city in a swarm.
Therefore, as soon as the army arrived with artillery, the city of Wuchang fell.
But everyone's most regrettable and most incredible thing is that Zhang Boxing actually escaped!?
"It's not strange, Zhang Boxing is a foolish person, and he thinks that our country is a country of demons, and if he harms Aunt Pan, he can destroy our luck. Even if he miscalculated this matter, he still took the soldiers to defend the city, and he really wanted to leave a name in history. ”
"But the problem is that Yongzheng removed him from the post of governor of Huguang, and he is no longer an official of the Qing court. He no longer has a name to die with the city, and even if he dies, what name can he leave behind? In the name of the unsubordinate? ”
"If I'm guessing right, he actually thought about staying in Wuchang and dying in the fire. But in the end, he will run away, and I'm afraid I'm still worried about what crime Yongzheng will set for him, erase his previous reputation for subduing demons and eliminating demons, and even make him infamous. So he ran away, and he wanted to live to protect his reputation. ”
Xue Xue's voice sounded, and his explanation made the generals suddenly feel in their hearts, I really didn't expect that this Qing official would really be able to go around and around in his stomach, always for his name.
"What does the Luo Cat Demon do!? Didn't keep an eye on him either? Even if he escapes back to Beijing, he should send a black cat to cut his head back! ”
"Yes, Aunt Pan can't die in vain! Make them pay! ”
The officers shouted angrily, hearing the name "Aunt Pan", Wu Ya turned his head to look at Xue Xue in silence, and the two exchanged tacit glances.
"Pan Jinling" is dead, Xiao Fumei is alive, this is already a secret, plus the people who have to know about this matter later, there will be no more than twenty or thirty people who will know about it in the end.
"The inland water division has not been built, the terrain is so bad, and the merchants are not able to do anything here, so we have to continue to advance eastward, but it is really troublesome......"
Wu Ya brought the topic back to the current military, and his subordinates also frowned. At present, the Shenwu Army, the Dragoon Army, and the artillery Chilei Army have entered Huangzhou and are about to set foot in Anhui. Due to insufficient preparations, there was not enough support from the naval divisions, and at the same time, the logistics were not put in place, and the political offensive was not launched, and the pace of progress was extremely slow.
From Huangzhou to the east, the rivers and lakes are crisscrossed, the Qing court is densely populated, and the local officials and people are stubborn. Unless a strategy of a large-scale northern expedition and an invasion of the south of the Yangtze River is decided, the situation will become more and more unfavorable if we continue to go deeper.
"Your Majesty has an order, the army stops, return to Yuezhou!"
Xue Xue made a temporary cameo appearance as Yang Shi to give orders to Wu Ya, and Li Shi had returned south with the forbidden army, in order to naturally control the aftermath of Wuchang.
Hearing this decision, everyone almost jumped up, although it was indeed a little troublesome to fight forward, but stop there, let that Zhang Boxing run away, this breath could not be swallowed.
"So what else can I do!? Zhang Boxing fled to Beijing, and he wants us to fight to Beijing now? He's just one person, if you really want to take him, a team of black cats is enough! ”
Wu Ya nodded to Xue Xue, and then said in a deep voice.
Xue Xue smiled slightly: "It's not the turn of the black cat to do this, in fact, they have been eyeing Zhang Boxing for a long time, but Your Majesty said that there is no need to send a loyal minister who died in state affairs for Ta Qing, Zhang Boxing...... He will be rewarded. ”
Zhan Wenda, the deputy commander of the Shenwu Army, squeezed his fists and said: "If we don't catch it, and the black cat won't catch it, then who else will go to retribution for him!?" ”,
Han Zaixing, who is also the deputy commander, added: "And that Ma Jianbo, he is the culprit!" ”
Xue Xue nodded: "Don't worry, none of us can escape, someone will do it for us." ”
In Beijing, in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, the princes, scholars and Jiuqing scholars who were participating in the imperial gate listened to the government, and when they heard Yongzheng on the dragon chair viciously spit out two words, they were in an uproar.
"It's ...... This is revenge for Nanban! ”
"Hooray! This is a matter of pain for relatives and happiness for enemies, how can it be done!? ”
"This discussion is certain, I'm afraid that the world will not make a noise, Your Majesty!"
The courtiers knelt on the ground, calling out as if they were mourning, and the sound of knocking and kowtowing was endless.
Yun Yu looked at the group of angry courtiers, let out a sigh of relief, and said in his heart, no matter how much you can't afford it at this time, when will you wait, the wind is getting tighter and tighter, and I don't have any chance, but I don't want you to personally send such a great opportunity to the fourth child, are you ...... It's the enemy of the world.
He stepped forward, knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Please the emperor, take back your life!" ”
Under his leadership, the shouts of the courtiers converged into a huge wave, almost overturning Yongzheng on the dragon chair.
If it was before, Yongzheng would not be able to resist such a fierce arrogance, but now he has a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and he scans this group of courtiers led by Yun Yu and close to the palace like a pig.
Yongzheng first said softly: "It seems that you are really proud of Uncle Zhang?" ”
Then he roared suddenly: "If you don't obey the decree and take up the border, can he bear this responsibility!?" ”
There was silence in the hall for a while, and then the movement of everyone converging into a chilling wind.
The courtiers all said in their hearts, oh...... Finished! The second stunned emperor lifted the bottom of our court!
Nanban is a thief, although the momentum has reached the point where it cannot be controlled, and there is a faint situation of north and south, but the court will never recognize this reality! Even the word "Nanban" will never appear in the imperial court newspaper and inscription, if it appears, it will be a big taboo! It has always been called "anti-thief" and "Li Rebellion", even if it is called "Nanban". "That all means that the court treats it as an equal.
And now, Yongzheng actually used the word "border" to describe the military affairs of the Qing Dynasty and the Nanban in Huguang, which is to treat the Qing Dynasty and the Nanban as equals, which is a reality, but it can only be said in private, but it must not be put on the table.
Now that Yongzheng has blatantly exposed it, it is no wonder that the courtiers are both frightened and disdainful.
At that time, there was a royal history protesting voice: "Long live the gaffe!" Please take back the word from the sidelines! ”
The courtiers were waiting for Yongzheng to come down the steps, but Yongzheng shouted: "Bastard!" Drag it out! "No one knows what will happen after it drags it on, but this imperial history will disappear immediately, and the chill of the palace will suddenly rise to another level.
Zhang Tingyu stood up, originally thinking that he would still persuade Yongzheng, but he turned to everyone and said in a deep voice: "Long live the truth, and lead the state affairs with reality, so that I can stabilize the Qing Dynasty." If not, what is the face of the country now, you have not asked yourself!? ”
The courtiers were suddenly shocked when they asked this, and the situation between the north and the south was really as Zhang Tingyu said. If it weren't for Yongzheng's ascension to the throne, then Li Xian would have been stable for more than a year, and he had been staying still in the south, and he even returned Yuezhou!?
There have long been jokes among the people that the two emperors of the north and the south have a tacit understanding. Isn't this a good thing from the perspective of the Qing Dynasty? If you really want to change the emperor, you don't have a tacit understanding with Li Shi, and if you continue to fight, can the Qing Dynasty still hold Jiangnan? Maybe even two Huai are gone!
Yongzheng said with a heavy face: "I fought with that Li Xianxu and the tiger, and fought the tiger empty-handed, so that I could temporarily protect the stability of this Qing Dynasty for more than a year. If you don't have a heart, you can forgive it, but you can't be considerate of the country......"
He gritted his teeth and said, "The sin is unforgivable!" I am a big Qing country, if I want to be stable from the ups and downs, and if I want to restore the prosperity of the emperor's examination, I must see the current situation clearly! Are Lingnan and Yungui still in the hands of the imperial court!? Huguang and Sichuan are still perfect!? You say! ”
No one dares to say that what Yongzheng took over is indeed a vice mess, and he does have the confidence to break the jar, and even dare to say the word "border", to define the north and the south as the relationship between the two countries. This is of course the most beneficial for him, and if it is low, the space for advancing and retreating in different days will be greatly rich. ,
Then Yongzheng looked at Yun Xi, who gritted his teeth, feeling that the situation had gone off the track he expected.
Yongzheng smiled fiercely: "Not only in the south, but also in the west, Tibet is flat, but Qinghai is chaotic, Luo Bu Zang Danjin ......"
At the mention of this name, Yun Yu's face suddenly turned pale, his eyes rolled, and he immediately kowtowed: "The minister is ignorant!" Ignorance! The minister didn't know the emperor's painstaking efforts to endure humiliation for the country, and begged the emperor to send it! ”
Yongzheng was stunned for a moment, shook his face, and said in his heart that Lao Ba really saw the opportunity quickly, and shrunk so neatly that he couldn't make a big fuss right away. It's okay, solve Zhang Boxing first, stabilize Li Shi, and then clean you up completely!
"Just know your guilt...... After handing over all the errands, let's go home and think about it behind closed doors. ”
With a word, Yongzheng drove Yun Yu out of the court, but everyone knew that this was just the beginning.
But at the moment, everyone has no intention of thinking about what happened to Yun Xu, Yongzheng's treatment of Zhang Boxing is too shocking, and it is difficult for them to accept it, especially the Confucian people led by Wang Luo. Zhang Boxing was a famous official in the former dynasty, and was even called "the first Qing official in the world" by Kangxi himself. "It's as famous as Lu Longqi, Yu Chenglong and other Qing officials earlier, even if there is a rebellion in this matter, why shouldn't it be dealt with with that kind of standard.
"Incorruptible? Loyalty? Uncle Zhang is guilty of no mortal sin!? ”
Hearing Wang Luo's words when he came out of the queue and pleaded for Zhang Boxing, Yongzheng's eyes were cold, and his thoughts quietly returned to yesterday, to the time when he discussed with Ru Xi.
Yesterday he was indeed anxious and uneasy. The name Zhang Boxing was biting low between his teeth, and he couldn't chew it into dregs.
He immediately sent a secret message to Zhang Boxing, asking him to transfer the person to Ortai. Unexpectedly, Zhang Boxing didn't know what madness he had, and sent another secret letter, which was very different from the excerpt sent earlier asking for instructions on how to deal with Pan Jinling. Zhang Boxing said that he didn't know the inside story before, but now he understands that this woman is the lifeblood of Nanban. As long as this woman is eliminated, the Nanban country will lose the hearts of the people, so the Nanban must be necessary, and my Qing Dynasty will definitely recover the southern land and regain the prosperity.
Emotionally speaking, Yongzheng very much hopes that Zhang Boxing's words are true, and if he kills Pan Jinling, Nanban will be finished. Intellectually speaking, he knew very well that this was just the wishful thinking of Zhang Boxing's rotten Confucian! Li Shi did rely on Yingciyuan and Panjinling to start his business, but he did not rely on them as his roots.
secretly raise private troops, equipped with fast guns and cannons, cut money and coerce merchants, and then use merchants to threaten officials. That Li Shi, with a terrifying gaze, saw through the root of the imperial court's control, relying on his minions and silver money as a knife, step by step to dissect the inside of the imperial court, which swept up and achieved today's business.
Kill Pan Jinling, why harm that Li Shi!? Not only is it harmless, but it will even make Li Xi gather the hearts of the people under his rule. When the Guangzhou Incident occurred, the people rioted, and the turbulent power was unforgettable. When he thought of that time, he couldn't stop feeling nauseous, as if he was in a dung pit again, and that layer of feces and urine was still soaked in his body......
Seeing Zhang Boxing's excerpt, Yongzheng secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly issued another urgent order. On the one hand, Zhang Boxing was dismissed from office on the spot, and on the other hand, Ortai was given the acting governor of Huguang to handle the matter with full authority.
But it was too late, that Zhang Boxing was so arrogant that he burned Panjin Ling at the stake without his order!
When Yongzheng received an emergency report from Ortai, Guntai and other lake members, there was an illusion that the sky was falling apart and the dragon chair was collapsing, and it didn't ease up for a long time. After discussing with Yunxiang, Zhang Tingyu, Long Keduo, Ma Qi and Marseille and other military aircraft ministers for a whole day, they still couldn't get the essentials, and finally had to come to Ru Xi again. As Yunxiang said, this matter has to be touched by Ru Xi to Li Xi's mind.
In front of Ru Xi, Yongzheng did not have any disguise, smashed his fist on the table, and said hatefully: "This Zhang Boxing, should be killed!" ”
Ru Xi said with a calm face: "Just killing, I'm afraid it won't be able to calm Li Xi's anger, and it's ......"
The next sentence made Yongzheng turn from anger to hatred, and he also had a complete understanding of the nature of Zhang Boxing's move. The feeling of this name in his heart has suddenly changed from a slave of bad things to a rebel with evil intentions.
Ru Xi said: "If you don't be ruthless, you can't suppress other Hanchen ......."
That's right, this matter is not only to calm Li Xian's anger, Zhang Boxing's actions, but also touched on another matter, one is as important as Li Xian's Northern Expedition, and the Qing Dynasty is not guaranteed, no! In some cases, the big thing is more important! ,
That's ...... Who is in charge of this Qing Dynasty!?
Han Chen, a scholar of science who read poetry and books, and a clean official who relied on honesty to dominate the hearts of the people, they were so active in the era of the former emperor Kangxi, what was it for? For the sake of being really loyal!?
No, Yongzheng doesn't believe it, he knows, and his old son Kangxi doesn't believe it either, because Kangxi himself said that these Hanchen sell their fame and reputation, treat them like villains, and never get too close. The first emperor was just playing the role of a saint and a virtuous minister with them, but among them, there were often people who were too deep in the play, and they really felt that they could occupy the hearts of the people and determine the country's politics in vain?
This Qing Dynasty is not their Qing Dynasty!
Yongzheng's face became more and more pale, although he thought about the Manchu and Han families, everyone worked together for the country, but he never thought that the master and slave were reversed, and Lun was often corrupted.
What this Uncle Zhang did was not only selling his name, but also putting his father into nothing! The fortune of a country, how can you be a minion, no, Hanchen, who is not even a slave, can dispose of it!?
Yongzheng's face and flesh were trembling, it was really as Ru Xi said, if he didn't deal with it harshly, he would be an example for other Hanchens! Just killed a Zhang Boxing, and thousands of Hanchen took it as an example on a different day, and this country was no longer the Qing Dynasty, but became a former Ming Dynasty where the courtiers regarded the emperor as nothing!
Yongzheng took a deep breath, not only to make a guarantee to Ru Xi, but also to set the tone for himself: "That's right, I will deal with Zhang Boxing and let him take his name with him, and he will not be overcome!"
