"Guozuo? Zeng Disheng, there is no room for this to be said, cover it up, we can walk between each other for a few more years, if we turn our faces, the blood will flow in five steps! ”

Squinted and looked at Zeng Disheng, since there was going to be a showdown, Yang Meng didn't plan to hide anything, but if Zeng Disheng wanted to stop it, Yang Meng wouldn't mind, and he would send him back today.

"When it comes to sects and national ancestors, it has always been a five-step blood flow, but Grandpa said it was okay, Zeng Disheng could bear it!"

Now that the showdown is coming, Zeng Disheng is not as cautious as when he first came in, he stared at Yang Meng in a daze, all he had to wait for was an answer.

"Good! Lao Tzu has come all the way, playing the style of rivers and lakes, since you Zeng Disheng wants to hit hard, then we don't need to stretch it, sit!

Zeng Disheng, let me ask you, the national heritage of the Qing Dynasty has been inherited to this day, is it possible to continue? ”

Stretching out his hand to signal Zeng Disheng to take a seat, after Yang Meng took a sip of tea, the question he asked was also extremely sensitive.

"If there are only long-haired thieves, the national glory of the Qing Dynasty can last for fifty years! But with a grandfather, I'm afraid it's ......"

If Yang Laosan is not involved in the Hongyang Rebellion, the imperial court will not be unable to continue the national ancestry, but with Yang Laosan, with several rebellions in the previous Jingshi, now the Qing dynasty is scattered with only a dozen or dozens of them, and it is difficult to continue the national ancestor!

"With Yang Laozi, if there is no Yang Laozi, how can you quell the Hongyang Rebellion?

Hong Yang is in trouble with the country and the people, and they must not be allowed to continue, and a single worship of God has determined the fate of Hong Yang, and now Hong Yang is dead, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will be destroyed. I'm done!

There is no Lao Tzu. There are Hongyang inside, and there are great powers outside. I'm afraid that if the Qing Dynasty wants to continue the national ancestry, it must continue to seek peace in various places, right?

Taiwan, Peng, Northwest, Northeast, Mongolia, how many of these regions should be set aside? How much will the court have to pay for this indemnity?

There is a flood of Yang inside that causes the war to continue, and the powers outside wantonly loot the imperial court, Zeng Disheng, Lao Tzu came to ask you, the people of the Qing Dynasty. How many dead and wounded?

Several hundred thousand? Millions? Or tens of millions? ”

Zeng Disheng wanted to play the real character, Yang Meng was not polite, although there was no abuse in his words, but the tone was also quite bad.

"This ......"

Several hundred thousand? If there is no Yang Laosan, most of the fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River will be abandoned, plus the floods and droughts in the past few years, I am afraid that the number of dead and injured will be more than tens of millions!

"Can't tell? Then Lao Tzu will do the math for you. Not anywhere else, just a count. Your hometown is located in two lakes!

Over the years, Lao Tzu spent millions of dollars on grain in the two lakes, and if there was no river project, the population starved to death in the two lakes would be about five million!

If you radiate the south of the Yangtze River, the population without food and starvation will be about 20 or 30 million!

Without Lao Tzu, the population of 50 or 60 million in the south of the Yangtze River and 20 million or 30 million in the north would all starve to death! The number of people killed in the war is not counted, this is Lao Tzu's achievements over the years, and Lao Tzu is not shy about this!

The Manchu court, since it does not have to care about the life and death of the people, when the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the number of dead and injured was also tens of millions, so that the court sympathized with the people, when a joke is said, seriously, then you are a joke!

Is this false? ”

Tens of millions of people have been saved in the military disaster, Yang Meng has always regarded him as his own merit, killing people to save people, and Yang Meng has always been seeking a way to balance the mind, not to mention, these things are all there, if you change the court to do things, one or two million people will starve to death, that is the least!

"What my grandfather said is true! But now that the foundation of the imperial court is solid, I am afraid that it will be unpopular to do that! ”

Zeng Disheng also recognized what Yang Laosan said about the merits of living tens of millions of people, but now that the Qing Dynasty is stable, it is abnormal, and doing chaotic things at this time is afraid that it will lead to the division of the country.

"Solid foundations? You dare to say that! This solid foundation is only temporary, the battle in the northwest is a national war, and it will never stop without victory or defeat.

Lao Tzu does not hide that you have been killed, and the solid river is the foreshadowing laid by Lao Tzu for this war, no matter what the outcome of the war is, the land cut out by Yaksa and the land cut out by Emperor Daoguang at that time, Lao Tzu will take it back.

And time, in the past four or five years, the foundation of the imperial court is solid, you have been born in the past, do you dare to say it after hearing this? ”

glanced at Zeng Disheng with some sarcasm, it may be good to deceive the likes of four-color sticks, for him Yang Meng, it is ridicule, how the Qing Dynasty is, it is all planned by him Yang Meng, the general trend is in hand, Zeng Disheng wants to persuade him Yang Meng with the general trend, and he despises his Yang Laosan's ability too much.

"This ...... It's really stormy! ”

Hearing this, Zeng Disheng couldn't help but feel a little angry, not to mention whether to recover or not to recover the ceded land, the war in the northwest alone is not something that the imperial court can bear.

"To put it bluntly, these are all planned by Lao Tzu, this year's grain, about to harvest, the situation in various places is good, this year's grain, will be three to five times that of last year is also a fact, but these are not enough to support the war in the northwest, this winter taxation is also inevitable.

Having said this, you should be clear about Lao Tzu's purpose, right? Think about it and give Lao Tzu an answer! ”

A few years ago, because of floods and droughts, because of abandonment, more than half of the land in the Qing Dynasty was not produced, with such a thing as a canal, to ensure that ninety percent of the land has a harvest, it is very simple!

But after this year, grain production wants to double, it will be calculated in five years and ten years, water conservancy, chemical fertilizer, improved seeds, these take time to achieve, although Yang Meng is planning a large fertilizer plant, but these fertilizers can only guarantee a small part of the land to increase production, want to promote the use of chemical fertilizers nationwide, three years is afraid of not succeeding!

Water conservancy, chemical fertilizer, animal power, farm tools, these things, if you want to realize them one by one, I am afraid that ten years is the bottom limit.

In a war, food alone is not enough, where does the real money for military pay come from? It is impossible for the Yang family to come out. The court can't get out. The wool is out of the sheep. Taxation and levying taxes is the easiest way to do it.

Although the army uses the method of plundering, it is still extremely difficult to loot enough cash and silver to bear military expenses, and the construction of domestic infrastructure also requires real money.

For the war that followed, the levy of taxes that was close to the limit for the people of the Qing Dynasty was five years. It is enough to corrupt all the ruling foundations of the Qing Dynasty, Yang Meng put this out, and it is difficult for Zeng Disheng to think about shirking it.

"Grandpa, how is Xiangyong?"

Without any contemplation, Zeng Disheng asked a more sensitive topic, Xiang Yong's return.

"If there is no elders, Xiang Yong can learn Chu Yong's methods and merge into the army, but with the elders, Xiang Yong ......"

Yang Meng's words were not finished. Because he saw the doubts on Zeng Disheng's face, I am afraid of Xiang Yong's current situation. The manager doesn't know much either, right?

"Elders? What did Grandpa say about this? ”

Among Xiangyong, there are members of the Elder Association, Zeng Disheng is not unclear, the green battalion soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, bandits, and the party account for a considerable proportion, and most of the brave people are from the bandit society, which is no problem in Zeng Disheng's view, because a few people who will be in the party give up the entire Xiangyong, this Yang Laosan is inevitably overbearing.

Relatives and friends are the foundation of officials' relationship networks, and Yang Laosan's purpose is probably to cut off his wings, right?

"You can go back and ask Zeng Laojiu about this matter, Chu Yong Lao Tzu of Zuo Jigao is not embarrassed, why should you embarrass your Xiangyong, there must be a reason for the groundless, you can go back and think about this matter yourself!

Today's Xiangyong, except for a few chief officers, almost all of them are entangled with the Elders' Association, such an army, if it is scattered, it is a bandit, and if it is raised, it is a thief, and it cannot be kept!

Xiangyong's matter, wait until you ask about it, Lao Tzu has a saying here, instead of killing them in vain, it is better to let them expand their territory!

Let's talk about the Manchu court! We can't talk about this, and Xiangyong's ending is the same.

Lao Tzu didn't read much, but he also knew some truths, the people of the Manchu royal family didn't care about the lives of the people, it was cut off, your great-master read a lot of books, you came to talk to Lao Tzu, why did Lao Tzu continue the Manchu Qing Dynasty?

This Chinese country, Han people are the mainstay, looking at all countries in the world, how can there be a country where a few people rule the majority, the Manchu Qing Dynasty is the mainstay, it is bound to suppress the Han people, the Han people are in charge, and they will not suppress the Manchurian, Meng, Yi and Zhuang tribes, Lao Tzu wants to listen, what kind of Taoism can you say, this Manchu can't usurp? ”

After exposing the matter of Xiang Yong, Yang Meng led the topic to the court again, some things, as long as a tacit understanding is reached, the return of Xiang Yong is certain, and there is no tacit agreement in the affairs of the court, let alone Xiang Yong, even if he was once alive, it is impossible to get out of Yang Mansion alive.

After Zeng Disheng listened to Yang Laosan's words, he also avoided the topic of Xiangyong, if it was really as Yang Laosan said, this Xiangyong could not be retained, and Zeng Disheng would not let him grow up in the army.

The status has reached Cheng Dù like Zeng Disheng and Yang Meng, that is, the so-called superiors, what they care about is long-term things, justice or not is already secondary, narrowly speaking, it is the inheritance of authority, and the noble is the inheritance of national fortunes.

If he was in the position of Yang Laosan, it would be better to stick to it than to be aggressive, after all, he was not too old, even if he could usurp the national throne, it would be a problem to have no successor.

But Yang Laosan is different, this Yang Laosan is now the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, looking at Yang Laosan's weekday behavior, this is also a master who is good at self-cultivation, young and strong, good at health preservation, no accident This Yang Laosan's life span is not short, not to mention a Jiazi, at least twenty or thirty years, this Yang Laosan can hold up.

Coupled with Yang Laosan's previous calculations, usurpation has become a foregone conclusion, Yang Laosan's words are not bad, this artifact is in the hands of the Han people, it is stronger than in the hands of the Manchurians, and now in this situation, I am afraid that it will not be possible if I do not support Yang Laosan.

Yang Laosan's strength is still a little unclear, how many troops the Yang family has, Zeng Disheng did not find out clearly, but now these are enough for Yang Laosan to usurp out, whether it is Xiang Yong or Chu Yong, against the Yang family's people, there is no chance of winning!

If King Gong of the three eastern provinces joins forces with the Mongolian kings, there may still be some chance of victory, but if King Gong enters the three eastern provinces and the Mongolian kings enter Rehe, I am afraid that Yang Laosan has already planned to start a war with Tsarist Russia, I am afraid that Yang Laosan will kill people with a knife!

"Grandpa, King Gong of the Three Eastern Provinces and the Mongol Kings of Rehe......"

Although Zeng Disheng's reaction was a little slow, but this time was not the time to be dull, racking his brains, Zeng Disheng grasped the key to the problem, the Mongolian kings and the bannermen of the three eastern provinces are not removed, this usurpation is afraid that it will break the family and chaos the country!

"Hmmm! This is to the point, although the war in the northwest, although there were heavy casualties, but to put it bluntly, it is a cover after all, and the north of Mongolia is the direction that Lao Tzu focuses on.

Although the war in the northwest can attract the attention of the vast majority of Tsarist Russia, it is also extremely difficult to point to King Gong and the Mongol kings to take the territory of Tsarist Russia north of Mongolia.

Mongolian soldiers and Eight Banners, the early stage is just a trip, this trip down, I am afraid that there are not many remnants of the Mongolian cavalry, the people and horses of the three eastern provinces, the annihilation of the whole army is also expected, Lao Tzu still has more than a million horses in the southwest, the final battle, not the Mongolian soldiers and the Eight Banners, but the southwest people and horses to do. ”

There are some things, Yang Meng has no need to hide them now, after these words came out, Zeng Disheng also nodded, death and injury have never been what they have to pay attention to, Zeng Disheng and Yang Laosan are concerned about what the ultimate interests are.

"In this way, this Manchu Qing is still a usurper!"

"It's enough to have your words, go back and see the Xiangyong you started! Before leaving, give Lao Tzu a definite answer! (To be continued......)
