Chapter 700: The Move to Force the Palace

Yi Xun finally left Yuan Jiasan's camp alone, Qian Jiang and Yuan Jiasan were not worried about the impact of letting him go back, the Qing army outside the city after Yuan Jiasan, Li Hongzhang and Peng Yulin joined forces to clean up in the past few days, and the commanders of the army have been replaced by their own people, and the Taiping army has been deployed in place, if it weren't for the fact that King Xi and Yuan Jiasan still figured out the way to let the Qing court issue an edict to abdicate and give way to the country, Yuan Jiasan and others would have been able to change their banners today, so they were not afraid that the Qing army in the city would fight back.

The Qing troops stationed outside the city were all soldiers and horses of King Qin from Shanxi and Lianghuai, and several general soldiers from Shanxi were also in favor of surrendering to the Taiping army. The first-class officers, the governor of Caoyun, and the ministers of the Qincha all led the troops to surrender, what are they still making trouble about? Besides, their soldiers are all from the Shanshan clan, but they don't want to die here, they still hope to return home alive. What does this change of dynasty have to do with itself? Now that the number of Great Qing Qi has been exhausted, it will be changed.

Looking at the back of Yi Xun riding away alone, Qian Jiang stood at the gate of the camp and said to Yuan Jiasan: "I think it is unlikely that the Manchu Qing Dynasty will take the initiative to issue an edict, and those masters in Sijiu City are all masters who don't shed tears when they don't see the coffin." ”

Yuan Jiasan smiled faintly and said: "Although the Qing family is weak, if the Heavenly Kingdom wants to rule Xinjiang, Manchuria, Mongolia, Tibet and other places, it still needs the edict of the Qing family as the basis of legal principles. Although these places will not necessarily be surrendered because of the edict of the Qing court, in this way, the heavenly soldiers will enter these places in the future, and the resistance will be slightly smaller. ”

Qian Jiang snorted, Chinese people pay attention to everything they do, and a teacher is famous. This is a habit cultivated in history, but the Qing court really has an edict. It is believed that it can break the morale of the Manchu army and the people who are still resisting in other places, and the effect is still obvious.

Yuan Jiasan said again: "Besides, the prince brought back the old man's last book. The old man also wrote the benefits of abdicating the Qing family and giving way to the country, even if some people oppose it, tomorrow once our soldiers and horses outside the city change their flags, I believe the situation will be even clearer. ”

Qian Jiang also smiled and said, "Gong Yuan, you are a disrespectful act of forcing the palace." Yuan Jiasan also smiled, took off the Qing court official hat on his head, took off the braided hair that had been removed at some point, spread out his hair and said with a smile: "Whether it is right or wrong, future generations can comment on it." The old man is in line with the general trend of heaven, and the world should be returned to us Han people. ”

While he was talking, a Taiping army herald hurriedly rode over, openly came to the two of them under the eyes of a group of Qing soldiers, and sent an official letter to Qian Jiang, Qian Jiang read it and said with a smile to Yuan Jiasan: "Yuan Gong, my heavenly soldiers have conquered Zhengzhou, and your hometown Xiangcheng has Yuan Gong's letter to be peaceful without a fight, and the land of Xu Shang has been owned by the Kingdom of Heaven." ”

Yuan Jiasan is a native of Xiangcheng, Henan. The Yuan family is a famous family in Xiangcheng, and when Yuan Jiasan commanded the two Huai soldiers and horses before, Xiangcheng was also the place he belonged to, so a letter could make him surrender. Hearing that there was no sword and soldier disaster in his hometown had been recovered, he was also happy, and sighed in his heart: "Although the old man has been in Huaishang for many years. But I haven't been back to my hometown for a long time, and the world is settled. He resigned and returned to his hometown to live in peace. ”

Qian Jiang said: "Yuan Gong, the world is decided." It is the time to employ people, you have the idea of disarming and returning to the field, but I am afraid that the king of the West will not let you go back. ”

After the two looked at each other and smiled, Yuan Jiasan's expression suddenly became solemn and said: "There are five more major events in the Kingdom of Heaven after the surrender of the Qing court, one of the biggest is that the king of the west will ascend to the throne and become the emperor, continuing the orthodoxy of the Han family, which is the top priority. The king of the west said that the emperor could be at ease, thinking that my Chinese state must not have only a king and no emperor, so wouldn't it be like a small country? ”

Qian Jiang nodded and said: "This time Zuo Xiang also came to write a letter to discuss with us, it seems that once we enter Beijing City, we can go to the persuasion table again, before the King of the West always said that the time has not come, now it seems that the melon is ripe, and it will come naturally, and the King of the West will not be able to push it off when he wants to resign." What are the other four big things? ”

Yuan Jiasan continued: "Then the second major event is to wait for the king of the west to become emperor, set up the name of the country, change the Yuan system, and establish a new imperial court to calm the hearts of the people in the world. Qian Jiang nodded and said: "Recently, the Zuo Prime Minister has also come to the official document to discuss this matter, and the King of the West is still revising the "Dingguo is Edict", since the Duke of Yuan also has a good Jianyi, you might as well give the King of the West an idea later." ”

Yuan Jiasan said: "Yuan dares to disobey his fate? After a pause, he continued: "The third major event is to continue to send troops to exterminate the remnants of the evil in various places, and to march into Xinjiang, Manchuria, Mongolia, and Tibet. Like Zeng Guofan, Hu Linyi and others in the land of Xianghu, trapped in a corner of the lonely city, these two people are also capable ministers of governing the country, and they are also people who can be of great use. ”

Qian Jiang bowed his head slightly and said: "That's right, Zeng Guofan and Hu Linyi are already dry bones in the grave, sooner or later there is only one way to surrender, if they are stubborn, the heavenly soldiers will be able to capture it at that time." ”

Yuan Jiasan was slightly startled, and kindly reminded: "Although Hu Linyi and Zeng Guofan are trapped in one place, but the two of them are good at using soldiers, and they have the power of Xianghu's disciples. ”

Qian Jiang laughed and said: "The King of the West is also like you, I'm just talking nonsense, Yuan Gongke continued." ”

Yuan Jiasan said: "The fourth major event is to send troops to suppress bandits in various places, stabilize local tranquility, develop industrial and commercial industries, and improve people's livelihood." After this military disaster of changing the dynasty, there were many bandits in various places, some of them under the banner of opposing the Qing Dynasty, and some of them were scattered among the people, especially the Hui bandits in the Shanxi area. In short, all localities should do their best to be peaceful, and it is the best policy to restore the national strength. ”

Qian Jiang pondered for a moment and said: "What Yuan Gong said is very true, there are indeed many powerful and powerful bandits in various places, and all localities still have to establish a system of village soldiers, so that they can appease the localities." As for the rebellion of the Hui bandits in Shanxi, Shanxi, Xinjiang, the Yiwang has already led the Yidian army to the north, and I believe that the Yiyi King can only be pacified. ”

Yuan Jiasan nodded and said: "Yuan also asked the name of the Wing King Shi Dakai, this person is very calm when he acts, and he is also a wonderful chess move when he goes out of the northwest border of the town. It not only keeps the only person who may be a threat to the throne of the Western King away from the center, but also allows the northwest frontier to have a person in charge of the town, and also makes some old courtiers of the Heavenly Kingdom have nothing to say. ”

Then Yuan Jiasan said: "This last major event is the war with Britain, France and Russia, although the three Yi countries are unlikely to destroy our China, but it is not common sense to always disturb the northern frontier of Haiphong." The benefits of the Rakshasa ships are slightly inferior, although Britain and France have the advantage of warships, but they still have to come ashore in the end, the king of the West should still let them go ashore, and then concentrate his forces to annihilate the main force of his land army, and then negotiate with the three kingdoms with the power of great victory, sign a contract, so that they can be done once and for all. ”

Qian Jiang said with a smile: "The King of the West is also planning like this, the soldiers of the Three Kingdoms are going to expedition again, I believe there is still half a year, we can still calmly calculate, what Yuan Gong sees is rich and far-sighted, and he will have to make more suggestions to the King of the West later." The two talked about returning to the camp to prepare for the next day's change of flag.

But it was said that Yi Xun returned to the capital, and came to see the Empress Dowager Xi non-stop, and when he arrived in front of the Empress Dowager Xi, he fell to the ground, crying and crying out in pain: "The Empress Dowager, Yuan Jiasan, Li Hongzhang, and Peng Yulin, the three rebellious ministers and thieves, have colluded with Changmao and are ready to do that rebellious act." ”

But Xingzhen didn't seem surprised, she just let out a faint sigh behind the screen, and then sighed lightly: "The building is about to fall, and they are all looking for a way out." Yi Xun gritted his teeth and said: "Queen Mother, you must not let these rebellious ministers and thieves be so carefree, the courtiers implore to send troops from the city and go straight to the three major camps of Yuan Jia to capture these rebellious ministers and thieves!" ”

Xingzhen sighed and said: "Seventh Master, not to mention whether those wine bags and rice bags sent troops in the city have the courage to go out of the city, even if they dare to go out of the city, can they defeat the two Huai elite soldiers brought by Yuan Jiasan and others outside the city?" Maybe at this moment, the long-haired soldiers and horses are already eyeing the sidelines, just waiting for us to send soldiers and horses to death. ”

Yi Xun was speechless for a while, he also knew that he couldn't do anything, but what else could he say besides saying these words?

Xingzhen turned out from behind the screen, holding the final recital of Yuan Jiasan's performance in her hand, as well as a stack of papers, Xingzhen handed the stack of papers to Yiyun and said: "Look at it, these are all good things done by the princes of various clans and important civil and military ministers in the last two days. ”

Yi Xun took a look, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, only to see that it was a secret report sent by a secret agent from Shang Yu's backup department, saying that a certain prince was going to sneak away from Beijing in makeup, and bribed the soldiers of Jiumen with a lot of money; A certain minister secretly wrote to contact Mao Yunyun, the chief of the city, and there were no less than 100 people here.

After Yi Xun saw it, he said dementedly: "Queen Mother, this, these people ...... The younger brother immediately led the troops to ...... these people, "Speaking of which, he can't go on."

Xingzhen looked at Yuan Jiasan's playbook again and smiled bitterly: "Yuan Jiasan's playbook is an act of extorting confessions, let us abdicate and give way to the country, and protect the clan and the people of the world from being slaughtered." Speaking of this, Xingzhen paused and muttered to herself: "In history, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was forced to die by his Yuan descendant, Yuan Shikai, could it be that history still has its elusive inertia?" In this life, the Qing Dynasty still died in the hands of the surname Yuan? ”

Yiyun couldn't listen to what Xingzhen said because of her dementia and dementia, and after a while, Yiyun said: "Queen Mother, since this is the case, what should the courtiers do?" Xingzhen sighed and said: "Seventh Master, for the sake of the safety of the clan and the well-being of the whole world, I will wronged you to negotiate abdication with Taiping......

It was already dusk when Yiyun left the palace ban, and there were still many crows hovering over the Forbidden City, these crows were previously regarded as sacred birds by the Qing Dynasty, but at this moment, the sound of the crows was like a death knell in the twilight, indicating the imminent complete destruction of the Manchu Dynasty.

The next day, the Qing army in the west and west of the capital and several city gates were all under the leadership of Yuan Jiasan and others, and changed the flag and changed the flag, openly playing the banner of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, so far a series of famous royal gardens such as three mountains and five gardens outside Beijing were intact and returned to the hands of the Taiping, this day happened to be the Guyu solar term, the mutiny was called "Guyu Shock" in history, and the mutiny accelerated the fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty even more......
