In Yali, Taiping County, Shanxi, Dong Zhihao, the magistrate who had just returned from Linfen, the city of Pingyang Prefecture, sighed and said, "Disaster is coming. ”

Seeing the restlessness of the magistrate, Pan Guoxian, the master of money and grain, who was with him, cautiously asked: "Dong Weng, this time the news of the provincial capital has been implemented?" ”

Dong Zhihao nodded, and Pan Guoqi and Deng Shangyun, the famous criminal master on the side, couldn't help but gasp. Don't blame them for doing so, it's really too shocking On June 11, the eighth elder brother Yinxi, who had just been named Beizi, arrived in Taiyuan from Beijing, and then the news came out in the Shanxi officialdom that the Qing court was preparing to relocate millions of people from Jinzhong to enrich Liaodong.

Because the numbers are too staggering, Shanxi officialdom has a lot of discussions, and even Jin merchants are shocked. However, before the whole Jin Province could think about how to deal with it, the anxious Yinxi ordered all provinces, prefectures, and (Zhili Prefecture) governors to go to Taiyuan to receive orders. The chief officials of the prefectures and Zhili Prefectures who came back from Taiyuan like a poop naturally wanted to pass on the pressure, so Dong Zhihao had the appearance of sighing at the moment.

After being speechless for a long time, Deng Shangyun asked, "Dong Weng, how many people does the prefect want to move out of Taiping County now?" ”

Dong Zhihao reported the number with a wry smile: "The government wants us to move 20,000 people." ”

Pan Guoxian suddenly exclaimed: "There are only more than 30,000 people in Taiping County, doesn't this mean that the whole county will be moved?" ”

Deng Shangyun said thoughtfully: "It is rumored that the Eighth Prince and the Governor opened their mouths to move millions of people, and according to the rules, they must be sent at all levels, and this comes and goes, isn't it 20,000 people in one county." ”

Deng Shangyun's words are well-founded, the Ming Dynasty Shanxi Buzheng Division governed five prefectures, eighteen prefectures and seventy-nine counties, although in the early Qing Dynasty rose to a few Zhili Prefectures, but in the Kangxi Dynasty Province only nine prefectures and ten Zhili Prefecture eighty-five counties, on average, each county was originally going to move more than 10,000 people, plus the inevitable seven folds and eight buckles, the index is slightly higher is also very normal.

"Is there anything else to do with this?" Pan Guoxian's head shook like a rattle. "This must provoke civil unrest."

"The Admiral has already ordered all the Tangxun to return to the camp." Dong Zhihao echoed. "I'm afraid it's just to prepare for the bullet press."

"Isn't that the end of it?" Deng Shangyun chuckled. "Since the provincial government is prepared, there won't be any big mess if you want to." Deng Shangyun's relief obviously couldn't soothe Dong Zhihao who was anxious in his heart, so he further provoked the way. "According to the students, this is not only not a disaster, but a great fortune."

"Great wealth?" Dong Zhihagi smashed his mouth, and asked for advice incrediblely. "Please also ask Friend Deng to teach me."

"Who to move here, who not to move, it's not Dong Weng's final say, as long as the wind is released, I think those local tyrants and old turtles don't want to let blood out." Speaking of this, Deng Shangyun said a little viciously. "Dong Weng has been in charge of Taiping for more than a year, and most of the big families in the city still don't know each other, so this time you can use the tiger skin of the eighth prince to rectify it."

Although he was a little shocked by Deng Shangyun's idea of taking advantage of the opportunity to make money, Pan Guoxian, who had a tacit understanding, still cooperated: "In this way, this is indeed a good opportunity to squeeze out the silver from the local tyrant's big account, but if all the townships and villages know each other and give filial piety silver, how to solve the Dingkou that is required above?" ”

"First, it is impossible for all townships and villages to know each other, so it is just used to kill chickens and set an example." Deng Shangyun said with a sly smile on his face. "Of course, the strength of the prefecture and county alone is not enough to deter the villagers, so the adults over there in the Pingyang camp still have to do something." This is actually another reason for Deng Shangyun to collect money, it costs money to set up the Pingyang camp, and this money will not let Dong Zhihao touch his pockets. "Second, the prefect's side should also be dredged quickly, I think that as long as you are willing to spend a lot of money, it is still possible for 20,000 mouths to become 10,000 mouths." This is also the intention of Yinxi to relocate millions of people, that is, to be able to complete the number of indicators required by Kangxi, and to fatten himself and a provincial official, this person's personal face is solid, of course, the people below naturally don't know. "Third, after the dredging of the dredging and the dredging of the dots, the county must quickly issue a charter, first arrest the beggars and those idle green skins in the city, and send them to the government as the first batch of immigrants."

"Brother Deng, I'm afraid something is wrong with you letting Dong Weng act like this." When Dong Zhixian, who was said to have swept away the haze, went out with a smile, Pan Guoxian grabbed Deng Shangyun's sleeve and asked. "You're really not afraid of stirring up chaos."

"The court is not afraid, what are you and I afraid of." Deng Shangyun's words couldn't convince Pan Guoxian, so he squinted his eyes and looked at the other party, and then said with confidence. "Brother Pan, I'm afraid that the Qing Dynasty won't last long if it's so perverse, you and I don't plan for the future, is it possible that we are still waiting to be foolish?"

Pan Guoxian let go of his hand with relief: "Speaking of loyalty to the Qing Dynasty, you and I are not qualified to do so, no matter what, you and I are also friends for money, now the opportunity is in front of us, in order to have a good life in the next life, it is better to give it a go, anyway, the sky is falling and there is a tall man on top, and I can't catch you and me if I want to."

Fangfo had a clear heart, and the officials of Shanxi acted like Taiping County, and suddenly the people of Jin Province, who had been forced by the Qing court's expropriation and extortion, to survive, were suddenly forced to a dead end. However, in the face of the betrayal of large households and the butcher's knives of the Qing army, a large number of tenants, small landowners and city dwellers were forced to embark on the road to the east.

According to later research, about 800,000 people in Jinzhong were forced by the Qing army to go to Heilongjiang and Jilin, but only 500,000 people finally arrived in the two places, and the rest of the old and weak women and children obviously fell on the road, composing a human tragedy mottled with blood and tears

Due to the blockade of the Qing court, the news of the relocation of people from Shanxi has not spread for a while, at this moment, the Qing court sent a large peace mission, and arrived in Bozhou on the third day of the seventh month of the seventh year of Wucheng in China, and immediately applied to the outpost of the Chinese court in Huaibei, which was known as "Yiyou Peace".

Unlike the previous secret peace negotiations between the two countries in Xixian, this time the Qing court's mission visit seemed to be a bit loud, so Zheng Kezhang could not operate it in secret, but could only put it on the table and discuss it publicly. However, there were different opinions within the Chinese court on whether to rule by rowing the river with the Qing court.

The financial authorities, represented by the two yamen of Duzhi and Yantie, believed that a short-term armistice would be of great benefit to further improving China's finances, so they built a plan to conclude the peace talks, so as to paralyze the north and take over the mess in the north after the Huaxia Dynasty's financial resources were extremely abundant. In terms of financial proposals, the Governor Yamen, who hoped to open up Nanyang first, and the Ministry of Industry, which advocated concentrating financial resources to complete the construction of domestic roads and lakes and sea dams, also expressed a certain amount of agreement.

However, the opinions of the above four departments were unanimously opposed by the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War.

Of course, it is not surprising that the Ministry of War opposes the peace talks, because although the results of the peace talks will not lead to disarmament, it is inevitable that the increase in military spending will be frozen, and therefore the interests of the Ministry of War will be harmed. As for the Ministry of Rites, out of the great defense of Huayi where Han and thieves could not be separated, they strongly demanded the elimination of the Qing court in order to establish the Huaxia court as the only orthodoxy.

Although the other ministries and yamen did not have much say in this matter, many people still wrote and said things according to their own ideas, trying to make their personal position on this matter clear.

Seeing the tendency of division and party strife in the Chinese court, Zheng Kezhang asked Prime Minister Lin Liangrui with a headache: "What does the Qing family have to do about this?" ”

Lin Liangrui knew that Zheng Kezhang wanted him to carry the black cauldron, but he still had to carry it, but before he said his opinion, he said: "Holy Lord, now in the cabinet, Lord Ke Ding Kaike and Master Zhang Riyao Zhang support peace, Lord Lin Henglin and Lord Huang Liangbi Huang oppose peace, the situation can be described as embarrassing, so the minister asks for a decree to reform the cabinet system." ”

"Reform the cabinet system?" Zheng Kezhang looked at Lin Liangrui with some confusion. "What do you mean?"

"The minister thinks that the cabinet minister should not concurrently serve in various ministries, so as not to be influenced by the ministries." Lin Liangrui said. "The minister also thinks that the number of cabinet ministers is too much, and maybe one or two people can be reduced."

Zheng Kezang raised his eyebrows, he already had insight into Lin Liangrui's purpose. That's right, although the Huaxia Cabinet is now the head of the government, but the ministries are directly responsible to the cabinet ministers or cabinet counselors in charge, and do not need to directly face the minister, so Lin Liangrui's power is actually very small, and once the cabinet system is reformed, the power of the prime minister will be greatly increased.

"It's a big deal." Because it didn't suit his appetite, Zheng Kezhang said perfunctorily. "I still have to think about one or two."

Lin Liangrui also knew that increasing the power of the prime minister meant weakening the power of the monarch, so he could only point to it, and did not dare to show too positive a face, and then he turned back to the previous topic: "The minister thinks that the Northern Expedition of this dynasty is imminent, and contacting the Qing Lu at this time may play a role in confusing." ”

This was what Zheng Kezang thought, so Zheng Kezhang nodded with a smile and said, "This is the old minister's statement of seeking the country." ”

But Zheng Kezhang was not at ease, and asked: "What if Qing Yu's move is also to confuse this dynasty?" ”

"You can ask the Qing court for Hezhong and Guanlong." Lin Liangrui, this is also a lion's big mouth. "And see how sincere the captives are."

"Guan Long?" Zheng Kezhang thought for a moment. "I'm afraid that Zhang Qing's side will be miserable again."

"Although Guanlong is a big burden, it has physical advantages, and it is worth it for the imperial court to bear some trouble for this."

"This is also true, it is not easy for the imperial army to cross the Bashan and Qinling Mountains, if it can be obtained from the Qing captives without a fight, it is not bad." Zheng Kezhang made up his mind. "Let the Governor's Yamen send someone to talk about this matter."

The full name of the Governor's Yamen is the Governor's Yamen of the Governor's Foreign Affairs, and the Qing court is naturally not Yangyi, so in other words, it is Fan Di, which is a kind of humiliation of Chiguoguo, so Lin Liangrui worried: "It is appropriate to hand it over to Lord Yu to be responsible, I am afraid that the Qing court will not accept it." ”

"What is unacceptable? What is the identity of Fan Di? If the Tatar chieftain Kangxi still wants to compete with the imperial court for Chinese orthodoxy, there is no need to talk about it. "Zheng Kezhang wants to appease the main battle faction with a tough attitude." As for the Qing court, I will send Princess De'an to participate in the negotiations, and I think that with such specifications, it should be able to appease??"
