Zaiyuan, Ruihua, Mu Yin and other military aircraft ministers arrived at the military aircraft early to wait for Xianfeng, leisurely chatting with tea and saying some compliments to each other.

Ruihua remembered that he was waiting for the battle report of Zhuozhou a few days ago, and said with palpitations: "Fortunately, the army of short-haired people was blocked in Xuzhou, otherwise they would have joined Long-haired in Hebei, and we would not be as idle as we are now!" ”

Mu Yin said happily: "Shorthair was defeated by Hechun in Zhejiang, how can there be troops for the Northern Expedition?" I think that the short hair is difficult to protect itself, maybe and the spring will be able to destroy Nanjing after some time, and the long hair alone will not be able to support, and the Qing Dynasty will not die! ”

Su Shun had some different opinions, and he had become familiar with these Shangguan in the past few months, so he had the courage to say it.

"The humble position thinks that the long hair is not enough to worry about, and the emperor has no relatives, but virtue is the auxiliary! I heard that the Hongyang rebels made the people angry and resentful in Sichuan, and the officials and gentry were all slaughtered, killing the landlords and dividing the land, and encouraging women to leave their husbands! In the long run, won't the universe be reversed and yin and yang confused?

On the contrary, the short hair in Nanjing to open a branch of scholars, gently shake the tax to win the hearts of the people, although and the spring to achieve a great victory in Jiaxing, but still can not capture Shanghai, but quickly retreat to Jiaxing County to hold. ”

Zaiyuan thought that what Su Shun said was reasonable, and asked: "Sixth, then when do you say that this thief can be suppressed, we, as slaves, are not a way to deal with political affairs with a sad face all day long!" Besides, now that the Lord is becoming more and more obsessed with beauty, and his body is getting thinner and thinner, in the long run, wouldn't the Qing Dynasty be in danger! ”

Su Shun and a few people were not surprised to see him say such a rebellious remark, this kind of heart-wrenching words have been said more than once in private since Xianfeng favored the four beauties of the Summer Palace.

"Alas! I used force to conquer the Central Plains in the Qing Dynasty, and at that time it was only the Eight Banners Force, but I didn't expect that now the Eight Banners and the 600,000 Green Battalion will make the thieves so arrogant, and they almost want to attack Beijing! ”

Seeing Su Shun's alarmism, Ruihua frowned and said, "Hmph! You said that the Eight Banners Green Camp is not enough, won't my Qing Dynasty die at the hands of thieves? ”

Zaiyuan put down the teacup and asked cautiously: "Sixth, none of us are outsiders, and everyone also admits that you have real talent and real learning, what should you do in the Qing Dynasty?" We can't let these princes, Baylor, go to the desolate place outside the gate to live the next life! ”

Mu Yin laughed at himself: "If that time really comes, I'm afraid that the outside of the gate will not be stable, and sooner or later it will be captured by the thieves!"

Su Shun saw that the three of them were looking at him with blank eyes, and he was secretly overjoyed, as long as he persuaded these few, it would be much easier for the emperor to do so.

"It's not that there is no way, have you seen the twists and turns from Jiangxi?"

Mu Yin saw Su Shun talking about him, and said unhappily: "Master Su, don't go around the corner, isn't Jiangxi just keeping Nanchang City, what does it matter if the Qing Dynasty rises and falls?" ”

Su Shun tried to make himself act calmer, "The second day after Jiang Minqiao, the governor of Jiangxi, arrived in Nanchang City, he relieved the siege of Nanchang, and the anti-thieves led the troops to retreat. ”

Ruihua was not stupid, and said with great joy: "You mean, if I have a few more loyal generals like Jiang Minqiao in the Qing Dynasty, I will naturally be able to wipe out the anti-thieves!" ”

Su Shun smiled and nodded, "Yes, the victory of Lingyidu was won by a group of township warriors led by Jiang Minqiao, and he was just a township leader under Sai Shang Ah at that time!" ”

Zaiyuan thought about it and couldn't think of where to find a character like Jiang Minqiao, and looked at Su Shun expectantly, "Sixth, a few brothers know that you are clever, quickly tell us where to find these loyal ministers and good generals, so that the Lord of Long Live will be happy!" ”

Su Shun replied: "Actually, it's not difficult to find, just in Hunan, Zeng Disheng has trained 6,000 villagers in Hengyang, and he is in the same vein as Jiang Minqiao's department!" ”

Zaiyuan shook his head and said disappointedly: "But how can Zeng Guofan's scholar compare with Jiang Minqiao, besides, I heard that he is not allowed in Changsha officialdom, what is the use of being stunned like this!" ”

Ruihua also objected: "I also heard that the slogan of this Zeng Guofan was loud and loud, but he didn't dare to fight with the thief, and Wu Wenrong, the governor of Huguang, fought with Changmao in Jingzhou, and he didn't send troops to support, so he still regarded himself as Wu Wenrong's protégé." ”

Su Shun patiently explained: "Zeng Disheng was able to hold a group exercise under such pressure, which shows that Zeng Disheng's determination is strong and unshakable!" Besides, Jiang Minqiao, the governor of Jiangxi, was his student, and the method of training the villagers must be similar, as long as the imperial court gave support, this army would definitely become the pillar of the Qing Dynasty. ”

The more Ruihua listened, the more he understood, and suddenly figured out something, and exclaimed, "I understand!" These long-haired and short-haired are all composed of those poor men, and the Yongding recruited by Jiang Minqiao and Zeng Disheng are also poor men, and my Eight Banners Green Camp of the Qing Dynasty is not the opponent of poor men! Only by beating the poor with the poor can we win! ”

Su Shun shook his head speechlessly, but Mu Yin and Zaiyuan nodded in surprise!

"The Emperor has arrived"

"Ministers see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor"

Xianfeng has been in a good mood these days, and said with a smile: "Flat, can you present it?" ”

Su Shun presented a letter and said: "Wu Wenrong, the governor of Huguang, asked the emperor to transfer troops and horses to support, saying that the siege of Changmao is very urgent!" He has personally gone to Jingzhou to sit down. ”

Xianfeng said: "The defenders from all over the country have been evacuated, Xuzhou and Jiangxi are very important, I really can't think of where there are reinforcements to be deployed!" ”

Ruihua preemptively said: "The reason why the anti-thieves of the Emperor Qiqi are so fierce is only because they used to be poor families and had nothing, so they can have nothing to worry about, if I also recruit these poor men into the army, it can not only reduce the source of anti-thieves, but also let them kill each other, and when the poor people are killed, there will be no one to rebel!" That's killing two birds with one stone! ”

Xianfeng was stunned, not that he thought that Ruihua was unreasonable, on the contrary, he thought that what Ruihua said was very reasonable, isn't this turmoil in the Qing Dynasty just a group of poor ghosts rebelling!

"What Prince Zheng said is reasonable, but how to recruit these poor ...... What about the people fighting? ”

Mu Yin seized the opportunity and preemptively said: "Jiangxi Governor Jiang Minqiao has already done this, and Zeng Disheng, the minister of Hunan League Training, has also done this. ”

At this time, Xianfeng's mind was nothing special about Zeng Guofan and his Hunan army, and he didn't want to hand over the heavy task of suppressing the rebels to him, so he said unhappily: "I ordered Zeng Guofan to reinforce Jingzhou several times, but he delayed it for various reasons, which shows that he is just a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and I am afraid that Zeng Guofan is not enough to take on this heavy responsibility!" ”

Su Shun saw that what they said was not clear, so the emperor wanted to go elsewhere, so he had to go into battle in person and said: "Please allow the squires from all over the country to recruit people to kill the enemy, so that there is no need for the court to issue military salaries, nor the official army can be exhausted to exterminate the thieves, which is really the best policy!" Please think twice! ”

Xianfeng saw that he was bringing up the old matter again, shook his head and said: "I know that you are loyal, but the first emperor has already admonished you not to let the Han people lead the troops alone, if you set up a group training, the Han people from all over the country will take the opportunity to recruit troops and expand their territory, isn't this the day when you drink to quench your thirst and the anti-thieves are extinguished, which is when I fall in the Qing Dynasty!" ”

Su Shun had already thought of a countermeasure, and said unhurriedly: "You can let a minister of the court take on this important task, the court knows the root of him, and then envelops him, and promises to reward him heavily on the day the thief is extinguished, which will definitely eliminate his doubts and make him disband the army!" ”

Xianfeng still didn't agree, and asked rhetorically: "Where is there such a capable minister?" ”

Su Shun continued: "Yes! Zeng Guofan, Minister of Hunan League Training! He has always called himself a great Confucian, flaunting his loyalty and patriotism, and the first emperor was not thin on him, and now he has trained thousands of people in Hunan, isn't this all in line with the emperor's wishes! ”

Seeing that Su Shun was so persistent, although he didn't look down on Zeng Guofan, he still held on to a glimmer of hope, and said: "I immediately issued a holy decree: let him send troops to Hubei to fight Changmao within a month!" See if he's available! ”

"The Emperor's Wisdom"

…………

Xianfeng, who had finally finished dealing with political affairs, was just about to go to the Summer Palace to relax, when he heard a report from the eunuch: King Dianjun asks to see him!

Xianfeng sat back in place with a wry smile and said, "Xuan"

Yi Cheng walked in swaggeringly, did not kneel, bent down and said: "The minister sees the emperor"

Xianfeng smiled bitterly and reprimanded again: "Presumptuous! We're full of the most important etiquette, look what you look like! ”

Yiqia raised his head and smiled: "Your Majesty, the ministers respect you from the bottom of my heart!" It's not like some people who do it beautifully on the surface, but they don't know how to arrange you behind the scenes! ”

Xianfeng was anxious to go to the Summer Palace to enjoy himself, how could he have the heart to rub with him here, "You have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace!" ”

The implication is that you have nothing to do, hurry up!

Yi Cheng was not embarrassed, and continued to smile: "Chendi is really in trouble!" Chen Di found that since the rebels rebelled, some poor people were looking forward to the rebels coming! ”

Xianfeng said angrily: "These people really deserve to die! Alright, I've gotten the way, you go down! ”

After speaking, he ignored Yi Yi and called in the back, and went straight to the small door behind the screen!
