Chapter 699: Luck is over
The name Qianjiang may not be as loud as Li Xiucheng, Chen Yucheng, Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang, these famous generals of the Heavenly Kingdom, but Qianjiang, the former director of the Intelligence Department of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, has heard of it, the Intelligence Department is in the Ming, Bai Zetang is in the dark, almost all the espionage activities of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom have the shadow of Qianjiang, and the reputation of the Intelligence Department is not very good in the Heavenly Kingdom, most of the people who were invited to drink tea by the Intelligence Department have gone and never returned. Play hard.
Hearing Qian Jiang's name, Yi Xun couldn't help but stand up, and after a period of confusion in his mind, he saw Yuan Jiasan's smiling face, he suddenly understood, pointed at Yuan Jiasan and shouted angrily: "Good Yuan Jiasan, you, you dare to collude with the long-haired thief!" Before the words fell, a few Goshha behind Yi Xun just wanted to draw their swords to face each other, and several Yuan Jiasan's henchmen in the tent stepped forward, pulled out the short gun on their waists and pointed at a few people, and even if they took down a few people, followed by more than ten people outside the tent After a burst of shouting and chaos, it was obvious that Yi Xun's personal entourage outside the tent was also taken down.
Seeing that Yi Xun's hands kept trembling, Yuan Jiasan smiled faintly, waved his hand and motioned for a few henchmen to take a few Goshha down, and then said to Yi Xun: "The prince is calm and don't be impatient, and sit down and listen to the old man." ”
Yi Xun's heart brightened, this Yuan Jiasan has colluded with the Taiping Army, and may have negotiated the surrender, so Qianjiang and other high-ranking figures of the Taiping Army will appear here, and Yuan Jiasan is not afraid to openly introduce himself, it seems that he has made sufficient preparations, and then thought of Yuan Jiasan, Li Hongzhang, Peng Yulin and other three people are quite close, and the three of them gathered together when they came yesterday. It seems that yesterday they were plotting to surrender to the Taiping army.
Thinking of this, Yi Xun slowly quieted down from the initial panic. Now that this is the case, he has become a fish on the board. simply calmed down and listened to what Yuan Jiasan had to say. After Yi Xun said at that moment, he sat back in his place and said coldly, "What do you say?" ”
This prince is only more than twenty years old, although he is young, he is still a little bold, Yuan Jiasan secretly praised and said: "Lord Wang, before I and Xue Shuai, Shaoquan and others traveled thousands of miles to Qin Wang, first attacked foreigners, then resisted Taiping, and later repeatedly attacked the Taiping camp regardless of life and death. Later, he begged the imperial court to let the city not leave, and did everything that could be done for the Qing Dynasty, but the imperial court was already twilight, and the Manchu royal princes and dignitaries completely ignored the overall situation, and thought that they could stay in the capital and enjoy their wealth and prosperity, and let go of the great opportunity to break through at that time. Now that the situation has evolved to the present, Taiping has become a general trend that dominates the world, and it is impossible for anyone to turn things around. Our subordinates led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and these soldiers were all flesh-and-blood men. Now that the general trend is gone, how can we drag these brothers to death again? Therefore, we have already negotiated with Taiping to surrender. ”
Yi Xun sneered: "It's a good article to pretend to be wrong, Yuan Jiasan, don't talk about yourself so righteously." How many lives have you lost in Lianghuai, how can you pity human lives at this time? ”
Yuan Jiasan sighed, I didn't expect this Yiyun to still have some skills. In a few words, it was revealed that Yuan Jiasan had been fighting with Taiping for a long time when he was guarding Lianghuai, and there were still many lives in his hands. sowing discord in front of Qian Jiang is really a character.
After Qian Jiang heard this. Unhurriedly, he said: "You don't have to bother to provoke it, Yuan Gong and the other three of them have been pardoned by the king of my family for resisting my heavenly soldiers before, and our Northern Expedition document also made it clear a few days ago that those who are willing to surrender to my heavenly kingdom will be forgiven by the heavenly kingdom as long as they do not kill prisoners and harm the people and other great evildoers." ”
Hearing this, Yi Xun sneered again and said: "Okay, even the long-haired pseudo-king of the West has personally agreed, it seems that Yuan Jiasan, the three of you, are decided." ”
Yuan Jiasan was not moved at all, but said with a smile: "It's easy to say, Lord Wang." Then he said: "Lord, originally the three of us just took my men and horses to Chengcheng Taiping, but yesterday I saw that Lord Wang you worked tirelessly back and forth, and Yuan also missed the grace of the Queen Mother in the past, so he still invited Mr. Qianjiang, just to find a way back for the Queen Mother and the Qing Emperor." ”
Yi Xun saw that Yuan Jiasan did not have the slightest shame, and his heart was even more angry, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but sneer: "You are for the sake of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, okay, what kind of back road do you want to hear?" ”
Yuan Jiasan said: "From the ninth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty and the first year of Chongde in the Qing Dynasty to the present, it has been two hundred and twenty-four years since the founding of the Qing Dynasty. Speaking of this, Yi Xun just sneered.
Yuan Jiasan continued: "Although the founding of the Qing Dynasty was not considered to be from the orthodoxy of the Han family, but after entering the customs, the Confucianism and Taoism of the Han family were respected, and the Kangxi and Qianlong lords also did the Taishan Feng Zen sacrifice, to show that the Qing Dynasty was derived from the orthodoxy of the Mandate of Heaven. Now that the peace is like the sky, the inner volume of Kyushu, the outer level of the Zhuyi, the revival of the orthodoxy of the Han family, the Manchu luck has been exhausted, and it is time to officially issue an edict to abdicate and give way to the country, so that it can not only preserve the blood of the Manchu clan, but also protect the remaining Manchus, lord, what do you say? ”
Yi Xun snorted coldly and said: "You are wishful thinking, you are a soldier who wants to surrender without a fight, and you want the two palaces to hand over the rest of the Manchu Qing foundation to you in one fell swoop." You know very well that when the Taiping Rebellion was about the revival of the Han people, Guanwai, Manmeng, Huijiang, and Tibetan areas would not accept your set, but now it is good, the dreamers surrounded the capital and forced the two palaces to abdicate and give way to the country, so you can legally inherit the rule of my Qing Dynasty over these places, but is this the case? ”
Qian Jiang interjected with a smile: "Lord Wang, in fact, according to my meaning, as long as Yuan Gong and others descend, ten of the more than ten thousand pro-soldiers in the capital will go to six stops, and the remaining elites of the Eight Banners seem to only smoke big cigarettes, fight dogs and walk birds, and this capital is also broken." And the only way to escape to the west is now controlled by Yuan Gong, and the queen mother and the little emperor in the capital are unable to fly. After the city was broken, after the Taiping soldiers entered the city, our king of the west entered the Forbidden City, and asked the Qing court empress dowager and the little emperor to write what edict, and it was not captured? To be ruthless, he just refuses to write, and after he has to find someone who looks like him to write it, he will announce it in public, and who will doubt it? As for that time, the real queen mother and little emperor of your Qing court are afraid that they will not be able to escape the stab in the neck. ”
Seeing Qian Jiang smiling like a poisonous snake, Yi Xun couldn't help but stand up again, pointed at Qian Jiang and said angrily: "You dare?!" There are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in my capital, tens of thousands of guards, and even thousands of eunuchs...... I, we're not afraid ......" Speaking of the back, Yiyun himself is also a little lacking in confidence, what use can those elites of the Eight Banners and palace guards who defend the Forbidden City do? They are no longer the army of tigers and wolves when the Qing Dynasty was just founded.
Qian Jiang smiled, followed by a gloomy face, and said: "Originally, according to my meaning, the remnants of the Manchu royal family must be eradicated, but for the sake of Lord Yuan's bitter begging, I am willing to come to see you, the prince of alcohol, and I want to give you the queen mother and the little emperor one last chance, if the queen mother and the little emperor are willing to obediently obey the order, send an edict to the ministers stationed in Tibet, General Yili, General Heilongjiang and the Mongolian princes, so that they can return to the peace as much as possible, and announce the abdication of the world. The Kingdom of Heaven can also consider letting the little emperor be a homecoming marquis and live this life peacefully. But if it is stubborn, after the city is broken, it will be the tanuki for the prince, and he will really be tortured in the secret room until he dies! And the prince, you princes and nobles can't escape the situation of death and family ruin! ”
Seeing that Qian Jiang was speaking viciously, and it was like a cat playing with rats, Yi Xun was so angry that he pointed at Qian Jiang and couldn't speak, and after a while, he only said: "You don't want to succeed!" Then he turned his head to look at Yuan Jiasan and said bitterly: "Yuan Jiasan, Yuan Jiasan, the Queen Mother is blind, how can she entrust the three of you with a heavy responsibility?" I didn't expect you to be a rebel and a thief! ”
Yuan Jiasan was very well cultivated, but said lightly: "Don't be angry, in fact, are you the Empress Dowager confused?" Although the Queen Mother is a woman, as Yuan saw, the Queen Mother is the first woman in the world, and she knows everything in her heart. After going to Taiping to negotiate before, the Queen Mother had already noticed our actions, but she couldn't bear it, because she had been working for a certain way back for the Qing Dynasty. When you are the queen mother of King Gong, you can't tell right from wrong? She is dead set on those full-fledged nobles in the court who do not seek advancement. ”
As soon as these words came out, Yi Xun was like five thunderbolts, and the words that the Queen Mother said to him alone before did not seem to be chaotic, but thoughtful words. Yuan Jiasan then sighed lightly and said: "When the Manchu Qing Dynasty reached this situation, no wonder who came, if you want to blame yourself, those Manchu nobles are used to enjoying glory and wealth, and have lost the hearts of the people in the world, even if the Manchu Qing can let the city go?" In the end, there was no way to escape. The Manchu Qing reluctantly fled to the outside of the Saiwai, which would only allow the war to continue, devastate the lives of the world, and make the estrangement between the Manchus and the Han more far-reaching, and on the day of the fall of the Manchu Qing, the Manchus may no longer have a place to stand in the world. In view of this, the Queen Mother and her old man made a compromise, in exchange for the survival of the Manchurians in the future. This is not just to take care of the entire clan, but also to take care of the whole world, Lord Wang. ”
Yi Xun was stunned, if the Manchu clan really escaped from the capital, it would definitely continue to call for resistance, but at that time, the Han people in the world would no longer follow them, only they Manchu people continued to fight against the Taiping, then the end may really be as Yuan Jiasan said, the Manchu people in the world were wiped out by the Taiping, then it was really a disaster, and they would have no face to see the ancestors of the earth after they died.
Qian Jiang looked at Yi Xun and said lightly: "Lord Wang, Lord Yuan, the three of them will change the flag and change the banner tomorrow morning, tomorrow morning, the Qing army in the west of the city will all erect the Taiping banner, and my Taiping tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are also in place, tomorrow morning once the flag is erected, it will attack the capital, you can go back to the capital, you still have a day and a night to decide, otherwise after attacking the capital, don't blame us for being ruthless......"
