After the dispersal of the dynasty, Xingzhen met with Gui Liang, Wen Xiang, Shen Zhaolin, Lin Kui and other military ministers alone, and repeatedly explained that the opening of the ban outside the customs must be reiterated that the landlords of the land are still Manchu nobles, and ordered someone to summon Qiao Zhiyong and other Jin merchants to negotiate the loan. Qiao Zhiyong and others made the loans, repayments, and grain collection regulations all good, and Gui Liang and the others couldn't find any faults.

In all fairness, Gui Liang, Wenxiang and other Guerjia clans also have a large area of uncultivated wasteland outside the Guan, and the imperial court can relax the ban and promise to let the Manchu nobles recruit Han people to go out of the customs to reclaim and farm, and the Manchu nobles can have an extra rent, the imperial court can have an extra penny of grain to collect, and there are fewer homeless people in the customs to rebel, which is a good thing to count in one fell swoop. It's just that the ban has always been the ancestral system, and the Manchus are also worried that once the Han people go out of the customs and reclaim the land, after the population multiplies, sooner or later they will occupy a foothold outside the customs, and it is inevitable that there will be no chaos when the population is large. But Xingzhen seems to have decided on this matter, and Gui Liang and the others are not good at saying anything.

After the charter was agreed, Qiao Zhiyong and others retreated, and Xingzhen said to Shen Zhaolin: "Shen Aiqing's excerpt said about Shaanxi and Gansu, although Shaanxi and Gansu grain transshipment is inconvenient, but the land of the Hetao has always been the northwest anointed land, in recent years, the Han and Mongolian Hui ethnic groups are mixed, the situation is quite complicated, the slightest carelessness will be the second Yunnan rebellion, this palace wants to send you as the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, I hope you can solve the matter of Shaanxi and Gansu." ”

Shen Zhaolin bowed down and said: "The minister will definitely stabilize the land of Shaanxi and Gansu and live up to the trust of the court." ”

After Xingzhen hummed, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, and she said lightly: "The people of the northwest are fierce. I heard that the various clans have seen the feud for a long time, and Shen Aiqing doesn't need to pay attention to the clan feud here, and only uses the laws of the court to judge things. Right and wrong at a glance, for those who do not obey the king's law, no matter which clan they are, they must use thunder to deter them before they can succeed, if you can make a decision on the spot, in short, kill those who should be killed, and you must not be merciful! ”

These few words are murderous. Shen Zhaolin couldn't help but shudder, and carefully tasted Shen Zhaolin's heart brightened, there are not many Mongolian people in Shaanxi and Gansu. Most of them are businessmen who live in sojourn, and the Han and Hui are the most, and the Han people have always followed the king, and there is no disobedience to the king's law. However, the remaining big family has always refused to accept the king. In the past, Kang Yongqian fought against the imperial court many times in several dynasties, and after listening to it, Shen Zhaolin already knew that Xingzhen wanted him to use thunderous means to deter him in Shaanxi and Gansu, and bowed down to receive the order at the moment.

followed Xingzhen to take out Zhang Liangji and Peng Yulin's recital and said: "Guilin fell a few days ago, Jiang Zhongyuan and others died in battle, Guangxi has no leader, how should the situation in Guangxi be handled?" This time, Xiang Yong and the Zhen Xiao soldiers were annihilated, but Peng Yulin's troops returned to Hunan safely, in the end, Xiang Yong betrayed Peng Yulin. Or Peng Yulin and Changmao colluded, and Peng Yulin and Zeng Guofan had their own opinions. This matter also disturbed the palace headache, so let's talk about it. Speaking of this, Xingzhen's tone revealed a deep sense of powerlessness.

Sometimes she is very annoyed, asking herself that her historical experience and knowledge are not under Xiao Yungui, she is confident that if she is on the same starting line, she may not lose to Xiao Yungui, but unfortunately her days in power are still too short, unlike Xiao Yungui, who took the lead as soon as he came up, and let a few princes eat dogs, he hid in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai to concentrate on the development of his own forces, and finally reaped the benefits of the fisherman. And she still has a lot of things to do, and Xiao Yungui, the bastard, still finds some troublesome things for her to do all day long.

She wants to negotiate with Britain and France, even if Britain and France ask too much, she can agree, it is nothing more than opening Tianjin as a treaty port, ceding the Kowloon Peninsula to Britain or ceding some of Vietnam's interests to France, these can be fully agreed, as long as Britain and France are inclined to the Manchu Qing, she will have room for maneuver, but at this time, Xiao Yungui didn't know what diplomatic means were used, and actually let Britain and France agree to the absurd five-party talks, who has ever seen a country sit down and negotiate with two other invaders plus its own rebels?

She finally let Zhang Liangji and Zeng Guofan send troops to rescue Guangxi, but she didn't expect Xiao Yungui to play Infernal Affairs, he knocked out the powerful Hunan Yong reinforcements in Hunan Province, but let go of Peng Yulin's troops, which not only maintained the balance of forces in Hunan Province, but also made Zhang Liangji and Zeng Guofan even more incompatible.

Then there is the new army of the capital that is still entangled with Lin Fengxiang in Huaishang, after this new army seized the military power of Ronglu from Xingzhen, half of this army was controlled by Chengen, and half of the soldiers and horses were in the hands of the seventh prince Yihuan together with the guards of the capital, and the two soldiers and horses were the same as the Mongolian cavalry of the Monk Greenqin Department was the biggest military power guarantee in the hands of her Xingzhen and Prince Gong. Originally, after suppressing the bandits, Xingzhen could free up one of the soldiers and horses and transfer them to the south to fight, but Xiao Yungui asked Lin Fengxiang to launch a local campaign in northern Jiangsu and Huainan, Chengen couldn't get out, and Seng Lingqin had to guard against the British and French forces that were still wandering outside the mouth of Dagu, and he couldn't pull out his hand, so he could only watch Xiao Yungui gradually encroach on the southwest.

Since knowing the identity of the other party, Xingzhen always feels that she has fallen into Xiao Yungui's trap everywhere, and every time she is more insidious and vicious, sometimes Xingzhen really wants to sprinkle some poison on the letter to Xiao Yungui and poison this bastard.

After listening to Xingzhen's words, Gui Liang and the others were silent for a while, Gui Liang was the father-in-law of Prince Gong, Wen Xiang, Shen Zhaolin, Lin Kui and others were also promoted by Xingzhen, all Xingzhen, Yi? The leaders of a party will not shy away from anything when they talk about things in ordinary times, but today they are silent together, and it is true that this time the matter is too tricky.

After a while, Gui Liangcai said slowly: "Queen Mother, the Hunan reinforcements were defeated, Guilin fell, Yungui still has rebellious people, and they can't take care of themselves, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu, and Jingxiang can't quench their thirst far away, Guangxi has become a dead end, and the slave thinks that what should be planned at present is how to maintain Yungui and other places, in case Changmao takes advantage of the situation to enter Yunnan and Guizhou provinces. ”

Xingzhen rubbed her temples and said, "How to maintain the land of Yungui?" ”

Gui Liang was scheming, and said slowly: "Peng Yulin can be transferred to Yunnan to serve as the governor of Yunnan." This time Zhang Liangji, Peng Yulin and Zeng Guofan's lawsuit, no matter who is right or wrong, the imperial court will not be able to deal with any party, Zeng Guofan has to confess, Peng Yulin also wants to save face, then let Peng Yulin go to Yunnan to resist Changmao, which can be regarded as a means of punishment. As for the rumors that Peng Yulin and Long Hair have colluded, the slave is a hundred unbelievers, Peng Yulin has been fighting with Long Hair for many years, and the long-haired thief Kou Zuo Zongtang has written to recruit him many times, but he ignored it, how did he collude today? Since it was collusion, he led the troops to throw in the long-haired stool, why did he return to Hunan again? ”

Wen Xiang also said: "What Lao Zhongtang said is very true, Peng Yulin is not under Jiang Zhongyuan, with him sitting in Yungui, he will be able to ensure that nothing goes wrong, and he will be transferred out of Hunan to Zeng Guofan, but Zeng Guofan's dispatch of troops this time is delayed, and Li Chongbu's strange thing about sending troops to march is only afraid that this old fox confessed, and it should be beaten." ”

Xingzhen hummed and said, "Then let's do it like this." ”

After discussing it properly, Gui Liang said cautiously: "Queen Mother, the regulations for the opening of the ban are already complete, only the two palaces need to be stamped with the imperial seal, and then let the emperor use the seal to promulgate the world, but it is ......"

Xingzhen snorted, she played with the cloisonne nail cover on her fingers, and said lightly: "Are you worried that my sister will not use the seal?" ”

Gui Liang nodded and said: "Prince Gong is also in favor of the ban, but Prince Gong is worried that those old and young masters in the clan will run to cry to the Queen Mother, we all know that the Queen Mother has soft ears, and we are afraid that she will listen to other people's slander and refuse to use the seal." ”

Xingzhen waved her hand and said: "Sister, I will go and say, Gui Liang, you just need to keep an eye on the rumors in the capital, and if necessary, there is still the Yamen, the commander of the Seventh Master's infantry army, I don't believe that those people can make any trouble." The affairs outside the customs are also extremely important, Wen Xiang, after you leave the customs, you must first sort out the household registration of the people who have been outside the customs, and check the population, I am afraid that there are long hairs among them, and if necessary, the palace will let the Heilongjiang general and the minister of the clan Yishan help you. Wen Xiang, this time outside the customs, in addition to doing a good job of opening the ban, you also have to beware of the Rakshasa people. ”

Wen Xiang was slightly stunned and said, "Rakshasa people? ”

Xingzhen hummed lightly and said: "The Rakshasa people have coveted my northeast for a long time, although the previous long hair beat them back, and the imperial court also increased the Heilongjiang garrison, but after all, the land outside the border is vast and sparsely populated. ”

Wen Xiang bowed down to receive the order, secretly thinking that the Queen Mother opened the ban not only for money and food, but also for the meaning of beware of the Rakshasa people, fortunately, the Queen Mother mentioned a few words, otherwise he was afraid that he would mess up the errand when he went to the customs this time.

Xingzhen said again: "The old general Yishan dealt with Waiyi in the Daoguang Dynasty, and in the first year of Xianfeng, the old general Yishan also signed the "Ili Tar Bahatai Trade Charter" with the Rakshasas. You must keep in mind that you must stabilize outside the gate, but you must not cede an inch of land out because of this, even if the Rakshasas start a war because of this, we will not hesitate to fight! ”

Wen Xiang was stunned for a moment and said: "But the Queen Mother, there are still long hairs outside the customs who occupy Sakhalin Island, Dalian Bay and other places, I am afraid that once we have a war with the Rakshasas, Long hair will take the opportunity to stab us in the back." ”

Xingzhen was silent for a moment before slowly sighing and said: "You can do what this palace wants, this palace believes that in this matter of the Rakshasas, Long Hair will not hold us back, on the contrary, they may even fight the Rakshasa together." ”

Gui Liang, Wen Xiang and the others glanced at each other, they didn't know why Xingzhen was so sure, Shen Zhaolin pondered a little taste, he frowned, and thought to himself: "Could it be that the dispute between us and Long Hair is a matter of brother Xiao Wall, once the Rakshasa people come, Long Hair will still abandon their grievances and unite with the outside world?" So why are they so close to the British and French? (To be continued......)
