Seeing Xiao Yungui's face slowly gloomy, Qian Jiang felt a sudden shock in his heart, he was a smart man, and he had followed the king of the west for many years, and he had been up and down in the sea in the west hall for many years, and he slowly understood how to figure out the mind of this boss, seeing that Xiao Yungui's face was not good-looking, Qian Jiang secretly became uneasy, and secretly scolded himself for talking too much, and the things that the king of the west did not mention naturally cannot be talked about. The slogan of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is to revive the Han family, but many small slogans and practices are based on rescuing the suffering people, so naturally they can't openly say the words just now, and they are afraid that it will be inappropriate to say the true thoughts in the heart of the King of the West.

has always accompanied the king like a tiger, not to mention that this king of the west is a real tiger, how many people were killed by Su Fu when he was in charge of the new policy and Tianjing, Qian Jiang knew it in his heart, and he had always figured out the king's mind and was most likely to be jealous of the king, and it seemed that he had committed a big taboo.

At the moment, the more Qian Jiang thought about it, the more frightened he became, and under the increasingly sinister gaze of the King of the West, he no longer hesitated, and knelt on the ground with a puff and said loudly: "The subordinates are talking nonsense, please forgive the King of the West." ”

After the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom came to power in the Western Dynasty, it abolished the ritual of three prostrations and nine bows, and replaced it with the restoration of the Han ceremony. Although there are also prostrations, the objects of kneeling are only to worship the heavens and the earth to worship the parents and ancestors, as well as Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism and other gods and goddesses. Although he bowed, he would no longer do it to others, but Qian Jiang couldn't care about anything in a panic, so he naturally knelt down and bowed down and begged for mercy.

Although Xiao Yungui was very unhappy, Qian Jiang said the darkest thoughts in his heart, and the social contradictions at the moment were in addition to land contradictions. There is also the contradiction between the backward productive forces and the huge population, the so-called Tongzhi Zhongxing in history was built on the basis of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement and the chaos in the northwest that killed a large number of people. Although Xiao Yungui does not need to use this method to reduce social contradictions. However, in order to develop the productive forces, he must renew his thinking, and the innovation must eradicate the old forces, and war is the best means and excuse for concealment. Therefore, he must launch a war against several provinces, and the civilian casualties caused by the war are naturally inevitable, which is naturally incompatible with the image of the king of the west who has always advertised himself as a benevolent and loving people.

Xiao Yungui was very satisfied with Qian Jiang's reaction, a person who knows fear is a person who can be used, because this kind of person knows how to advance and retreat. At the moment, he said lightly: "It's good to talk about this kind of thing when you and I are the two, you should know what the propaganda direction of the National Political University is." ”

Qian Jiang's heart fell, wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded. Xiao Yungui said again: "To march into Yunnan-Guichuan, you must also cooperate with the propaganda work of the Public Opinion Department, the Edict Office, the Information Department and other departments, the war must continue, and the enthusiasm for the war must be burned." Advocacy is essential. At the same time, the propaganda for post-war reconstruction should also be strengthened, so that people can see hope, understand? ”

After Qian Jiang responded, Xiao Yungui said lightly: "Get up and talk." After a pause, he sighed lightly and said slowly: "You naturally think that I am hypocritical and righteous, but these are the prices that must be paid to revitalize the country. ”

Qian Jiang repeatedly said yes, and he also knew that the change of dynasty must be the elimination of the original ruling class and the rise of another group of ruling classes. And the fact that no one can change the suffering of the people in this process.

Xiao Yungui then asked, "What you said just now was your own analysis and judgment?" Qian Jiang's heart was suddenly again, and he hurriedly said: "It's the subordinates who are thinking nonsense themselves." The subordinates only said today that they knew about it with His Highness. ”

Xiao Yungui smiled slightly and said: "The staff of the section under you who analyzed the relationship between the Manchus and the foreigners are good and very capable, I will give you another errand, even if the Manchus are destroyed in the future, they will not need to be disbanded." ”

Qian Jiang was slightly stunned in his heart, listening to the meaning of King Xi's words, he still didn't believe that those analyses were his own masterpieces, but it was true, these things were all discussed collectively by their department, what did King Xi mean when he said that he wanted to give them another title?

Xiao Yungui continued: "I want to set up a Xiwang Foreign Affairs Advisory Group to study and refine the analysis of foreign relations, and your section group will also take on the responsibilities of this advisory group, and you will also serve as the head of the group, and each person's title will be increased by one level. But it's a matter of confidentiality, and you deal with unreliable people yourself in advance, and I don't want secrets to leak out, understand? ”

When Qian Jiang heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat again, the king of the west's imperial skills can be said to be perfect, draw them shrewd people for his own use, give them a sweet date, and then let himself come forward to clean up the unreliable people, so who is not convinced to follow him?

Qian Jiang naturally agreed, and then Xiao Yungui said, "What else have you analyzed for the rest?" ”

Qian Jiang replied tremblingly: "The incident happened suddenly, and the intelligence we got showed that our section group only analyzed these for the time being, and another thing worth collecting intelligence for analysis is who is behind the Manchu Qing side cooperating with the foreigners to make this incident." ”

Xiao Yungui patted his thigh and said, "You got to the point." Then he stood up and walked back and forth a few steps with his hands in his hands and said: "There are people on the Manchu side who want to destroy the peace with the foreigners, and this person can say that the foreigners will join forces with him, there must be an ulterior deal behind it, this king is worried that their plans are not limited to this, if this person exchanges the interests of the northern territory for the support of the foreigners, and the foreigners enter Jintang not just to exchange contracts, then it will be more tricky." What this king is most worried about is that after the foreigners join forces with this person, they will set up a puppet regime in the north, and even if the Manchu Qing Dynasty arrives in the future, we will have one more enemy. ”

Xiao Yungui's thinking jumped a little, Qian Jiang thought about it for a while after listening to it, and he also secretly admired the vicious vision of the king of the west, and the more than 20 people on his side thought of it together as much as he thought of alone, no wonder he could be the king of the west. At that moment, Qian Jiang bowed his head slightly and said: "What the King of the West said is extremely true, if the foreigners and the Manchu Qing Dynasty fail to negotiate peace, in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Prince Gong's power will be hit, and the person behind Prince Gong is the Manchu Queen Mother of the West, so the person who benefits should be ......" Speaking of this, Qian Jiang exclaimed: "Could it be that the two palaces of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are not in harmony?" ”

Xiao Yungui smiled faintly and said: "That sick Empress Dowager is not the opponent of the Empress Dowager Xi, she is just an object to be used, and there are masters behind her, this person is Rong Lu who has been degraded and idle at home, you Bai Zetang must make great efforts to collect information about him and the people he knows, and Li Chong was originally a subordinate of Rong Lu, but now he has been ransomed by the British with a lot of money, and there must be something to say, and I have to keep an eye on it." Saying this, Xiao Yungui's face darkened, and after a pause, he still said: "There are also Li Chong's sister-in-law and brother-in-law, you have to send someone to keep an eye on them, and their every move must be detected clearly." ”

Qian Jiang was slightly stunned and said, "Isn't that Li Chong's sister Li Xuanji Miss Li......"

Xiao Yungui raised his hand to interrupt his words and said: "Now there is no Miss Li, only Mrs. Rothschild, she and her husband Clifford are also important figures, you can't be afraid of Mrs. Rothschild because she had some relationship with our heavenly kingdom in the past, I specially instructed you to give you power." ”

After Qian Jiang responded, Xiao Yungui said some details before letting Qian Jiang go back, and followed Wang Minyun to arrive, only to see him happily holding a military report to the study and said: "Your Highness, Chen Yucheng's urgent report, the vanguard of the Fifth Army has recovered Jinningzhou, Taipingguan and other places, and has arrived in Chenggong, a county in the outer prefectures of Kunming, and has been contacted by Du Wenxiu's department. ”

Xiao Yungui didn't say a word, walked to the big map hanging in the study, looked at it, and asked, "This military report should be three days ago." "Now after Guangxi's recovery, the military information is transmitted by carrier pigeons, especially the military newspapers are given priority, and Chen Yucheng's military reports will take three days to arrive in Shanghai at the earliest.

Wang Minyun nodded and said, "It was sent out by the year." Xiao Yungui pondered for a moment and said: "Let Chen Yucheng must encircle and annihilate the Qing army in Kunming, and once again reiterate the principle of fighting in Yunnan and Guichuan, and remind Chen Yucheng to respect the habits of all ethnic groups in Yunnan and Guichuan, and not to cause estrangement with the local rebels because of some details. At the same time, there should be a difference in the idea of treating the local Tusi and the feudal division, those who colluded with the Manchu Qing Dynasty to resolutely suppress and liberate the slaves under them, many places in Yunguichuan are still primitive slavery Tusi system, Chen Yucheng They only need to grasp the principles well, win over some enlightened people, focus on cracking down on stubborn people, and it is not difficult to recover Yunguichuan. ”

Wang Minyun smiled slightly and said: "I also asked Chen Yucheng to take a look at "The Biography of Mu Ying", so that he could learn from Mu Ying's practice. ”

Xiao Yungui nodded and said: "Mu Ying guarded the southwest for ten years in exchange for the peace of southern Xinjiang, and the middle is also stopped, the reason is the local Tusi system, but now is not the time to move......" He said, but his thoughts thought of the future generations, although the Tusi system began to change the land and return to the stream during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, but it has not been completely eliminated, the Qing army almost every few years to move in the southwest, until the Republic of China has not been able to completely solve the Tusi system, until the liberation of the country, experienced a large-scale suppression of bandits, After the stages of land reform and regional ethnic autonomy, the Tusi system gradually disappeared, Xiao Yungui did not think that Chen Yucheng could do it, and he could not do it, at least it was not easy to do it in the rest of his life. It is not applicable to break and then stand in Yunguichuan, because those toasts are the hereditary leaders of various ethnic groups, and no one dares to resist them.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Yungui slowly sighed and said: "If we can't do it, let the successor continue to do it, reply to Chen Yucheng, let him proceed according to the original strategy, after taking Kunming, quickly recruit Tusi from all over Yunnan, and those who are not convinced will be attacked, and cooperate with Du Wenxiu, he is a local person, familiar with geography and folk customs, and can have a lot less trouble.
