In Wang Feng's view, the reason why the four famous ministers of the late Qing Dynasty, Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, Li Hongzhang and Zhang Zhidong were able to grasp the military and political power, was inseparable from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and in the war that lasted for more than ten years, the number of Manchurian deaths was about more than 200,000!

Generally speaking, those who can go to the battlefield are Ding Zhuang's elite, this part of the people died, and the Manchu people were directly injured, which changed the power ratio between the court and the Han landlords, if it were not for the suppression of Cixi, I am afraid that the Qing Dynasty would be possible.

The Han landlords are relatively enlightened and can take the initiative to learn from the West, since in a short period of time, because of the policy of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Wang Feng would rather temporarily leave the Manchu high-level, and the Han landlords infighting, mutual restraint and consumption, to reduce the pressure on the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, you know, the historical Hunan army Huai Army is already a pure Han landlord arm, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom died in the hands of these two armies.

Hong Xuanjiao thought about it, and then reminded: "Your idea is not bad, the more chaotic the Qing court, the better it will be for us, but will others, especially the King of Heaven and the King of the East, see so far?" Remember, you are only a general of the Taiping Army, and if you leak out, you will definitely be executed for collaborating with the enemy. ”

Wang Feng smiled: "Sister Xuanjiao, you are the prison army, I am the commander of your subordinates, there is a big man on top when the sky falls, why am I in a hurry?" ”

"You" Hong Xuan said squeamishly: "Okay, you finally treat me as a prisoner, and if there is danger, push me forward, right?" Hum! I see you! ”

"Alright, alright." Wang Feng waved his hand and said, "Sister Xuanjiao, I'm just joking, how can I let you carry it alone?" How can we say that we are also a one-day husband and wife, in fact, as long as you don't say it, I don't say it, and then manage the mouths of your subordinates, what is there to worry about? You say, but? ”

Wang Feng took the opportunity to pat Hong Xuanjiao's fragrant shoulder, then slowly paced back, thinking: "Fuxing, I'm thinking about whether to let you go." ”

"Huh?" Fuxing raised his head violently, his face was full of disbelief, although he was ready to go to righteousness bravely, but who would want to die if he could live, the key was what kind of price it would take to survive.

Fuxing thought it through in an instant, tried his best to keep the love calm, and said disdainfully: "Say, what do you want?" ”

Wang Feng stretched out a finger and shook it: "You are my captive, I have no reason to let you go in vain, you write a letter and go home, take 100,000 taels of silver, pay the money with one hand, release the person with the other, you can rest assured, when will the money be sent, when will you be free, I will never break my word!" ”

"What?" Fuxing almost jumped up in shock: "Where did I get so many silver taels at home?" ”

Hong Xuanjiao also looked at Wang Feng dumbfounded, didn't this become kidnapping for ransom? But looking back, Wei Changhui donated 350,000 taels of silver to become the noble king of the north, and this is 100,000 taels of silver, how many guns can you buy? And how many cannons can you buy? I can't help but have stars in my eyes!

Wang Feng didn't hurry and said: "Lord Fu, you don't cry poor in front of me, you are the great-grandson of the famous Mukdenbu during the Qianlong period, and Mukedenbu was born in the Niu Hulu clan, Niu Hulu is one of the eight surnames in Manchuria, and the gentry is the representative of the Niu Hulu clan.

At the same time, your Niu Hulu clan is also a famous queen family, the five dynasties of Yongqian Jiadao, and the current queen of Xianfeng, there are a total of thirteen women or concubines, or queens, you family, you can't even take out 100,000 taels of silver, it's a joke! ”

Fuxing shouted and defended: "The branches and leaves of the Niu Hulu clan are luxuriant, and the branch of the great ancestor is only one of the partial houses, and it will not be the capital until he dies, how can it be compared with the big house?" And I am a small Jiangning general, I have always listened to errands under the marshal since I took office, and I haven't caught a penny of oil and water, how can I have 100,000 taels of silver for you? ”

"Humph!" Wang Feng snorted coldly: "Lord Fu, I asked you for 100,000 taels of silver, it was for the sake of you and me to do business for the first time I gave the friendship price, according to the market price, just the three words Niu Hulu, one million taels is not too little!" If you are not wordy, you will either be 100,000 taels or die, and Lao Tzu will not care about your! ”

Fuxing fell into a fierce ideological struggle, in fact, he didn't lie, he was indeed just an insignificant partial house, although the current queen is also surnamed Niu Hulu, but he has no copper plate relationship.

With his family's financial resources, it is already very difficult to barely scrape together 350,000 taels of silver, and as a military attaché, he basically has no one to pay a little filial piety, so he can only eat empty salaries and put some thought into equipment procurement, but the problem is that the Jiangnan battalion is personally watched by Xianfeng, and it is difficult to start.

In short, one hundred thousand taels is beyond his ability!

Fuxing tried to bargain: "My family can only make up 30,000 taels, if I borrow money from outside, not to mention whether my father will agree, once people know that it is to redeem me, then even if I live, the future of this life will be ruined, it is better to die and be posthumously praised by the court for the benefit of the family." ”

Hong Xuanjiao felt that it made sense, and walked up and pulled Wang Feng: "It's better to do it"

"Eh~~" Wang Feng waved his hand violently and interrupted: "Sister Xuanjiao, don't be deceived by him, money is like a woman's ditch, there will always be a crowd, he Ama may not go out to borrow money for him, but we can send the letter to his mother, the son is the heart of his mother, is his mother will not be saved?" As for his future, with us bullshit relations? We just need money, and we want money for nothing! ”

"Then it's up to you, but you don't have to leave any of them behind!" Hong Xuanjiao blushed and nodded.

Wang Feng looked at Fuxing again and said coldly: "You write obediently, hello, hello, everyone, otherwise, don't blame Lao Tzu for being unkind to you!" ”

Fuxing simply turned his heart sideways, gritted his teeth and said: "Since this is the case, then there is nothing to say, you kill me!" ”

"Kill you?" Wang Feng smiled sadly: "If I kill you, won't I be able to get a penny?" I heard that you Manchu Qing have ten tortures, I don't know how many you can bear, today, Lao Tzu will loosen your bones first! ”

"What are the ten tortures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty?" Hong Xuanjiao asked puzzled.

"The ten tortures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty include skinning, beheading, car cracking, and five punishments" Wang Feng snapped his fingers like a few family treasures, and Fuxing was sour and soft when he listened.

Hong Xuanjiao frowned, and said, "What if you kill or cripple him?" So who will ransom him? ”

"That's just as well!" Wang Feng groaned: "First give him the ten small punishments of the Manchu Dynasty, come here, go to the tiger chair!" ”

Wang Feng explained in detail the production method and principle of torture of the tiger chair, and several soldiers immediately ran to cut down the tree with excitement on their faces, and soon, a simple tiger chair was made.

"Don't, don't come here!" Fuxing shouted continuously, and his body shrank back, but these soldiers didn't pay attention to it at all, and as soon as he carried his hands and feet, he put him on the top, and then sat upright with his body at a ninety-degree angle, tied to a wooden post, tied his hands behind his back, and tied his thighs tightly to a wooden bench, and stuffed a piece of cloth in his mouth!

Only then did he tie it up, Fuxing's eyes were about to pop out, and Wang Feng beckoned: "Punishment!" ”
