"The emperor is dead! Knock knock~~"

In the Forbidden City, the sound of the death knell, whether it is pedestrians or homes, they have looked in the direction of the Forbidden City, in the crumbling national situation, Xianfeng still did not hold on, he is gone, relieved, what should I do?

Especially the flag people, as soon as Xianfeng left, it was as if the main heart had collapsed, full of sorrow, and the monk Gelinqin retreated without a fight, which was actually equivalent to extinguishing the last trace of courage of the flag people's desperate fight, you know, courage is a very mysterious thing, it is difficult to inspire, and when it is discharged, it is like a flood that collapses for thousands of miles.

Sitting on an army of 200,000 and retreating without a fight, although the princes and ministers who led the army could put forward a basket of reasons, but the people below did not understand, if they retreated, they did not dare to fight, and even the above did not dare to fight, how could they have the courage to fight against the Democratic Alliance army below?

Especially today, the Democratic League army is located south of the Yellow River to establish a country, carrying the power of the country, and the momentum is like a rainbow!

It's just that it is very unrealistic for them to abandon Beijing and flee back to the deep mountains and forests in the northeast, and after two hundred years of rich life, the banner people have lost the ability to survive in the ice and snow.

"Hey~~ The emperor left in time, but he didn't become the king of the dead country, but he just suffered the new emperor." On the corner of the street, a sigh came.

At the same time, Xining Mansion and Zuo Zongtang looked to the southeast with his hands in his hands and was silent for a long time.

Since Zuo Zongtang persuaded Li Xubin to surrender, he first controlled Hanzhong, and then followed Zhuge Liang's old road out of Qishan and entered Gansu, mainly starting two things, the first thing was to persuade the regiments of various prefectures and counties in Gansu and Shaanxi to train the green camp, and the second thing was to deal with the problem of the white people.

In terms of persuasion, Zuo Zongtang has a high reputation. With his back to the big tree of the Democratic Alliance, few people dared to be his enemy. Especially after the Qing army retreated to Hebei, anyone could see that the Qing Dynasty was over. There are countless people who fall from the wind.

In terms of the white people's issue, although Wang Feng did not deliberately advise, Zuo Zongtang was an out-and-out nationalist and a famous Confucian in the world, and he had a natural sense of resistance to foreign religions, especially when he converted to other religions as a Han Chinese.

Even the ancestors don't recognize it, can you still expect Zuo Zongtang to be soft?

In the Han-Bai conflict. He doesn't care whether Bai Min is reasonable or unreasonable, he will be judged as unreasonable, even if Han Min causes trouble first, he will not hesitate to stand on the side of Han Min, that is to say, anyone who dares to offend Han Min will be killed!

Zuo Zongtang's troops killed people in the land of Beixi, and the massacre naturally aroused strong resistance. But he was not afraid, he was well armed, and Han Epitek provided support, often a small detachment of several hundred people. Thousands of invading White troops could be easily slaughtered.

Under Zuo Zongtang's severe suppression, countless white villages were slaughtered, and those so-called leaders. Most were decapitated and hung on bamboo poles in demonstration.

The white people who surrendered remained. Zuo Zongtang did not kill indiscriminately, but invited them to dinner. Regardless of men, women, young and old, whether they have wine and meat, do they eat or not? If you don't eat it, you die, and just like that, another batch was killed.

In addition, Zuo Zongtang also destroyed the temple, abolished the eleventh tax, and abolished all the teachings that contradicted the law of the country, which provoked resistance, but Zuo Zongtang's bloody methods were not covered, and the white people, under the leadership of the sect leader, did not dare to resist armedly, but chose to sit-in and demonstrate.

Where does Zuo Zongtang care about this, a sit-in demonstration is tantamount to rebellion, he directly sent troops to surround it and turn up artillery bombardment!

In less than a year, millions of people died under Zuo Zongtang's butcher's knife, and the rest of the people were scattered, including Bai Yanhu and his followers, hundreds of thousands, and it was almost difficult to see white hats in the entire Ganshan.

"Father-in-law!" Seeing that Zuo Zongtang's expression was a little dazed, Tao Wei couldn't help but say: "Today is the day when Commander Wang becomes emperor, have you thought about where to go?" ”

Zuo Zongtang sighed: "The Qing Dynasty is over, the 200,000 troops of the Huai Army and the Hunan Army have all surrendered to the Democratic Alliance, and Commander Wang is worried about the old man, where to go, why should I think about it?" It's just that the old man has killed too much in the northwest, and he is worried that he will not be allowed by Commander Wang.

Those who betray their ancestors and forget their ancestors do not respect Confucius and Mencius, and serve foreign teachers, and the old man is angry, and he can't control the desire to kill~~ Wang, now that everyone has been killed, he secretly feels that it hurts the sky and hey! ”

Tao Wei pondered slightly, and then said: "The son-in-law thinks that his father-in-law is too worried, who is the father-in-law, how can Commander Wang not know?" Could it be that Commander Wang could not have foreseen the consequences of his father-in-law's march to the northwest? No, Commander Wang already knew it, so why did he still entrust his father-in-law instead of sending a general?

This may be to prevent his father-in-law from being caught in a dilemma between the Democratic Alliance and the Qing court, but it also shows that Commander Wang has the intention of using his father-in-law's drastic means to eradicate hereticism. Commander Wang is a person who does not taboo killing. ”

There are some things that don't need to be explained clearly, let you do it, there is naturally a reason for you to do it, Zuo Zongtang was suddenly shocked: "The old man is a fan of the authorities, haha, the old man immediately folded to the emperor, asking for the official annexation of the Democratic Alliance, you will go for the old man, if possible, try to stay in Nanjing to find an official and a half-job." ”

"I" Tao Wei looked at Zuo Zongtang puzzled.

Zuo Zongtang nodded and said: "You are known to be a virtuous person, it is a pity to stay in a remote place in the northwest after all, go to Nanjing to show your strengths, and go tomorrow." ”

"Thank you father-in-law for making it happen!" Tao Wei was happy in his heart and thanked him.

The so-called men are ambitious in all directions, at this time, if they look like children, they will only look down on Zuo Zongtang.

The next day, Tao Tao took his entourage and rode to Nanjing, which finally regained its calm after three consecutive days of noise, and from October 4, all departments began to operate, busy and orderly, of course, no matter how busy it was, it was not as busy as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

At present, the main task of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is to establish diplomatic relations with a series of countries, such as Mexico, Argentina, Chile and other Central and South American countries, as well as Britain, France, and the United States, Britain, France, and the United States are relatively simple, and Bowing, Bourblon, and Merlene all have the power to conclude treaties.

And the official identity of these three people is the minister to the Qing State, and the Qing State has not yet perished, so it is naturally inconvenient to stay in Nanjing, not to mention that there are important things to do next.

At the same time, China has also established diplomatic relations with Lanfang, Medan, and Luzon, signed military alliance treaties and a series of economic cooperation agreements, and demarcated the borders of Luzon and Medan at the request of the two countries.

Although Medan and Luzon are located on two islands, there are a series of small islands between the two large islands, and both countries have the intention to divide their family property clearly, but they are afraid that taking a little more and taking a little less will hurt the harmony between each other, so they thought of the big brother of China and asked the Chinese government to come forward.

Li Hongzhang did not shirk either, took a ruler, and drew a line from the middle line on the map of the Philippine Islands, as the national boundary between the two countries, the representatives of the two countries could not help but scold themselves for being stupid when they saw that it was so simple, and happily agreed to it.

But who would have expected that this simple stroke would sow a seed of discord between the two countries. (To be continued......)
