Chapter 371: Xianfeng vomits blood
In fact, the Qing Dynasty emperor's diligence was forced, more than 95 percent of the country's population were Han nationality, Mongolian, Hui, Tibetan and southwestern ethnic groups accounted for four percent, and the banner people, including the naturalized Han Army's Eight Banners, were not even one percent, and ruled the vast majority of the population with a very small proportion of the population. β·Topβ·Pointβ·Smallβ· says, www.
The Han emperor can not go to court for decades, he can neglect the government, and the country is still as stable as an iron bucket, but the Qing Dynasty emperor can't, a little nap is the end of the annihilation of the clan, why did the Qing Dynasty emperor take the trouble to tour the south? On the one hand, it is the psychology of the nouveau riche, the world of flowers in the south of the Yangtze River, never tired of looking at it, on the other hand, it shows the power of the sky, tens of thousands of military horses, mighty and awe-inspiring, and finally it is to impose small favors on the landlord class in the south of the Yangtze River, which plays a role in attracting people's hearts.
Although Lan'er understands this truth, she doesn't know how to solve it, and she can't persuade Xianfeng to disband the Military Aircraft Department and return power to the cabinet, so she can only smile and say: "I hope God has eyes and spreads the news that foreigners are big and short-haired, and my Qing Dynasty can also take a breath, Your Majesty, you should pay attention to rest in the hot weather, and let the concubines rub it for you." As he spoke, he walked around behind Xianfeng, raised his orchid fingers, and gently rubbed Xianfeng's temples.
Xianfeng leaned back on the chair and said with a wry smile: "Are foreigners good?" Even if the short hair is broken, how can he return Su Song Taichang for nothing? I will definitely offer huge blackmail, or force me to sign an unequal treaty. β
Lan'er said helplessly: "That's better than being taken up by short hair, foreigners only need money, don't want to die." And shorthair will gain power in the future, and it is to wipe out our family. It is to dig up the ancestral grave of our banner people, and the lesser of two evils. After extinguishing the short hair, you can concentrate on cleaning up the long hairs and twisting bandits, and then work hard to recuperate, and may not be able to reproduce the style of the prosperous era of Kangqian. β
That being said, but not long ago, the foreigners were bombed and sank a warship, and they couldn't attack it for a long time. This has cast a shadow over everyone's hearts.
"Haha~~" Xianfeng's heart went up and down, but on the surface he smiled happily: "In fact, my Qing Dynasty is not without capable talents, such as Luo Bingzhang, the governor of Hunan, in the face of the rampant bandits and the rebellion of the displaced people, he adopted the policy of internal and foreign aid to the four provinces to support the overall situation, and at the same time eliminate maladministration, open source and reduce expenditure, and vigorously raise ordnance ships. Strive to ensure that Changsha is not lost, and this qiΔ comes from the construction of his staff Zuo Zongtang. β
Lan'er also agreed: "Zuo Zongtang, the concubine has heard of it. He is known for his science, and is the personal disciple of He Changling and his younger brother He Xiling, who said that he was able to stand on his own. Knocking on his studies did have gains, and he formed a family with Zuo Zongtang to have children. Later, Tao Shu, a famous science teacher, also took the initiative to marry Zuo Zongtang's eldest daughter for his only son.
In addition, Lin Zexu, a famous minister of the former dynasty, also praised Zuo Zongtang and called him an extraordinary talent. Peerless genius, before his death, he repeatedly recommended Zuo Zongtang to be a rare talent, the concubine remembered that when the bandits besieged Changsha for the first time two years ago, Hunan Governor Zhang Liangji entrusted him with military affairs, Zuo Zongtang transferred military food day and night, governed the paperwork, and painted the guards, and finally made the bandits besiege Changsha for three months, and withdrew the siege to the north. β
"yes!" Xianfeng sighed: "Shao Zhan Shiweng is also a talent, once sparse Chen Jiangfang five things, said: Brief Jin, land routes, broken shore rape, fire attack, increase small boats, I think there is some reason, alas, the world's talents, is gradually exclusive to the Han people, on the other hand, my banner people, mostly mediocre and reluctant people, all day long to listen to the play, not to do business, it is difficult to fight the country, it is even more difficult to sit on the country, if it goes on like this for a long time, even if the bandits are wiped out, how long can the world sit again? At the beginning, Yang Jian usurped the world of the Yuwen clan as a Han person, and I thought it was a warning, but I was a banner person, which really disappointed me."
As he spoke, Xianfeng's voice became smaller and smaller, and it didn't take long for him to let out a slight snoring sound, obviously asleep.
Xiangu got up at half past five in the morning, a person in his early twenties, he couldn't hold it for four hours, Lan'er sighed secretly, and a trace of confusion appeared in her beautiful eyes, if Xianfeng really died young, who else could be the main beam among the banner people?
Lan'er mechanically massaged Xianfeng, full of worries, and I don't know how long it took, a eunuch outside suddenly called: "Your Majesty, Prince Gong has an urgent matter to see." β
Lan'er immediately raised her eyebrows: "What should be the crime of a bold slave who dares to disturb the emperor?" β
The eunuch noticed that Xianfeng, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was closing his eyes, and his frightened soul was immediately scattered, and he kowtowed again and again and begged for mercy: "The slave should die, the slave should die!" β
"That's it, go and pass the sixth child up!" At this time, Xianfeng slowly opened his eyes and waved his hand weakly.
"Wow!" The eunuch ran back like Meng Dahe, don't look at Lan Guifei's usual appearance of smiling and groaning, but if she said something unpleasant in the palace, no one would dare to offend Lan Guifei if she would rather offend Xianfeng, this woman's scheming is amazing.
Lan'er also took a wet wool cloth and wiped Xianfeng's face, and Xianfeng suddenly felt refreshed.
Soon, Yi Xun, who was full of anxiety, stepped into the hall in small steps, "Bang! He patted his sleeves on the left and right, and then dusted off his neckline, and then knelt down to give a salute: "Brother knock to see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live!" β
"Sixth, but there's something urgent? Get up and talk first! Seeing Yixun's expression, Xianfeng felt a little furious in his heart, and hurriedly asked.
Unexpectedly, Yixun did not get up as in the past, but still knelt and said heavily: "Your Majesty, the Military Aircraft Department has just received news from the south, Yingyi has been wiped out on June 27 of the Western calendar, nearly 20,000 people under the British commander Huishi were captured, the Duke of Wellington, the flagship of the British army, and three frigates, and a total of nearly 100 small steamers and troop transport merchant ships were captured, and Wu Wenrong, the governor of Zhejiang, and Wu Jianzhang, the governor of Jiangsu, and Wu Jianzhang, the governor of Susong Taidao, were captured, and their lives and deaths are unknown. The green battalion and the fishermen of Chen Village have all dropped their short hair! β
"What?" Xianfeng stood up, his face was as white as a dead man, this was a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and he hit his heart!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Lan'er was also pale, and grabbed Xianfeng's arm tightly.
"Hahahaha~~" Xianfeng suddenly laughed miserably: "Even the foreigners have been wiped out, who else in the world can make short hair?" The next step of short-haired hair must be to take Zhejiang, maybe it will march into Liangguang, and after pacifying the south, follow Zhu Hongwu's Northern Expedition, and my Qing Dynasty is a heavy loss of wealth, no money and no salary, people's hearts are panicked, how to resist? My Qing Dynasty is dying! β
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Calm down! "Lan'er has no owner, and the flowers are discolored.
"I'm going to die in the country, and I'm still cold and damn quiet" Xianfeng felt that his diligence had followed in the footsteps of Chongzhen, extremely ironic, humiliated and desperate in his heart, he was roaring, and suddenly his blood surged, and his throat was sweet, "Plop! "A mouthful of blood spurted out!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, come quickly, pass on the imperial doctor!"
Yixun knew that this news would stimulate Xianfeng, to be honest, he had the urge to vomit blood when he heard it, but he didn't expect that Xianfeng really vomited blood, so he hurriedly rushed forward and helped Xianfeng from the other side.
"No!" Xianfeng waved his hand weakly: "I'm fine, it's a little better to spit blood, Lan'er, go make me a cup of coffee." β
Lan'er looked at Xianfeng carefully, although Xianfeng's face was white and terrifying, his spirit really improved slightly, so he gave a blessing: "Please wait a moment, the emperor." β
Lan'er walked quickly to the apse, Yixun also took advantage of this time to take matters into his own hands, wiped the blood stains on Xianfeng's clothes, and called the eunuch to wipe the blood stains off the ground.
Xianfeng can't care about the hot stuff, a big sip of coffee in the stomach, the spirit is refreshed, but what's the use of being in good spirits? The danger of the death of the country was imminent, Xianfeng couldn't help but look at Yixun, and Yixun's gaze was a little dodgy.
A few months ago, Xianfeng had asked him to draft a program of innovation, but to this day, it has not been drawn up, in fact, the number of changes in Chinese history is not a few, the famous Wang Anshi changed the law, Zhang Juzheng changed the law, and even the policy implemented by Yongzheng can also be regarded as a change, this is not too difficult, just take the wisdom of the predecessors combined with the actual situation of the dynasty to make a trade-off, but the key is involved in all aspects of the interests too much, no one is willing to let a little, and everyone wants to eat more, so that in the noisy and noisy drag it here.
The premise of implementing the reform is that there must be a strong person to preside, and throughout the Qing Dynasty, no one can have the courage to preside, including Yixun himself.
Yixun's ability is stronger than Xianfeng's, but he lacks courage and can't suppress Beijing's powerful people.
Xianfeng looked at Lan'er again, Lan'er lowered her head, even though she was a little scheming, but in the final analysis, she was only a little woman in her early twenties, and she was not the scheming Empress Dowager Cixi.
Xianfeng sat back in his chair, and just when he was at a loss, another eunuch saluted outside: "Your Majesty, the British Minister Bowling, the French Minister Bourblon and the American Commissioner to Beijing Maillen ask for a meeting. β
"Huh?" All three of them were stunned.
Yi Xun pondered: "Could it be that the foreigners have also received the news of the defeat and have come to discuss countermeasures with the emperor?" β
Xianfeng waved his hand and said, "Sixth, you can go and see what the foreigners want to do." β
"Wow!" As soon as Yixun responded, the eunuch at the door said again: "Your Majesty, the foreigners specifically mentioned that they are asking to see you on behalf of their respective countries. β
"Humph!" Lan'er immediately snorted coldly: "It's not the day to hand over the national letter, what is there to see from foreigners, isn't it enough to give face to Prince Gong to meet him?" β
"Eh~~" Xianfeng waved his hand: "Foreigners are afraid of avoiding me, since they are willing to come, there must be something important, it doesn't hurt to see it, Xuan!" β
"Wow!" The eunuch beat a thousand and left.
Xianfeng said again: "Lan'er, you wait for me to change clothes, and you stay at the sixth child." With that, he got up and walked back. (To be continued......)
