Xingzhen thought for a while, and then said slowly: "Now the intention of the Hongyang rebels is very clear, not to Sichuan, but to prepare to learn the Jin Dynasty's method of conquering Eastern Wu, go down the river to the east, smooth the wind and water, and lay down the southeast corner, if these traitors are allowed to make trouble in our most prosperous and prosperous place for a few years, the tax money cannot be collected, and the coastal defense and northern defense are squeezed together, then we really don't live." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

The sunlight outside only shone into half of the window, and Emperor Xianfeng looked very old, he patted the table gently, "That's the reason, now these Eight Banners are useless, and the Green Camp is also a waste, no matter how you block it, you can't stop the movement of the rebels, Lan'er," Emperor Xianfeng looked at Xingzhen eagerly, "Do you have any way to solve this problem?" ”

Xingzhen smiled slightly bitterly in her heart, she really thought I was Da Luo Jinxian? A wave of his sleeves can only not take away the clouds, and he can't change the thousands of troops, Xingzhen thought for a long time, and Emperor Xianfeng was also very patient, waiting for Lan Concubine to come up with some clue to solve this mess, and for a while the Slow Fu Pavilion was silent, Fan'er and Anqian stood on the side, and they didn't dare to take a breath, so as not to disturb their master's whimsy.

Xingzhen thought for a long time, and then stopped talking, and then gritted her teeth before she spoke: "Your Majesty, forgive the concubine bluntly, the existing barracks are useless, and the green battalions of the Eight Banners are rotten to the end. The battle of Wuchang can not be reproduced, that is because we beat the rebel by surprise, if you want to defeat the rebel thief so much in the future, the current army, I am afraid it will be difficult in a few years, for today's plan, there is only one word. ”

"Lan'er, come on."

"That's it: drag the word!"

"Drag?" Emperor Xianfeng realized something, repeated the procrastination several times, but still did not understand the point, quickly held Xingzhen's hands, and asked eagerly: "Lan'er, you can speak quickly." ”

"It's procrastination!" Xingzhen looked at Emperor Xianfeng with blazing eyes, "The emperor has just said that the Eight Banners Green Battalions in all parts of the south of the Yangtze River are all wasted, and they can't be counted on, although this Ganshan Iron Cavalry is a little tougher, but it can't be easily used, and besides, it's hard to say that there is any way to extinguish the Hongyang rebels, but this strong army can't be trained for a while!" The concubine thought about it in the palace a few days ago, and only in this drag can we put some effort into it. ”

Emperor Xianfeng nodded approvingly, and then asked, "Lan'er, what do you tell me specifically?" ”

"Your Majesty, the concubines think like this, we have three to win, and the traitor has three to lose!"

Emperor Xianfeng's chest began to rise and fall slightly, and he asked again in disbelief: "We have three victories?" There are three thieves who will be defeated? Lan'er, you're not coaxing me with words of comfort, are you? ”

"The concubines dare to deceive the emperor, let me first talk about our three victories, this is the first one, that is, our righteous name, I am a Qing Dynasty," Xingzhen awkwardly said this sentence in the future Qing palace drama will be the most able to say a word, "Since the Shunzhi Lord entered the customs, inherited the previous dynasty, Dingding Beijing, and held China for more than 100 years, this monarch and minister's righteousness, loyalty, filial piety and shame have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the concubines should say something that should not be said, if we don't have this righteous name, the magistrates of Huguang will not be martyred, but should surrender to the enemy, Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing no matter how they rebelled, people in the world will only think that those are rogues, at most they are just hypocrisy and wrongdoing, and they will never join forces! Your Majesty, don't underestimate this righteousness, although this righteousness is false, invisible and intangible, but it is still firmly rooted in the hearts of the people of Limin, as long as we still hold the imperial examination and appoint officials, we will have an advantage! ”

"This second must win, that is, our Daqing territory is vast, and the treasures are beautiful, that is to say, we can afford to toss! The rebel thief does not produce, does not divide one party as his own base, we have a lot of adults, and we are not afraid of tossing, but the rebel is different, if one more person kills, he will have one less! Huguang is erosive, and when the thief is gone, he can recover in a few years, Jiangxi and Anhui are rotten, then we will wait a few more years, and we can catch our breath, and the taxes of Huguang and Liangjiang for several years will not be collected, and the money will be requisitioned on the spot, and the thief can be stoned to death. ”

"These three must win, let's talk about our army, the concubines are here to congratulate the emperor, congratulations to the emperor." Xingzhen smiled and bowed, and said these words that made Emperor Xianfeng scratch his head.

Emperor Xianfeng hurriedly picked up Xingzhen and asked suspiciously: "Lan'er, the two things you said before are clear, and I can hear them clearly, but here, why are you still congratulating me?" ”

Xingzhen slowly stood up with the emperor's hand, and sat down on the chair again, "The so-called troubled times produce heroes, and this troubled times also produce talents!" If Han Xin didn't have the dispute between Chu and Han, how could he unify the world and be crowned the king of Qi? This traitor is like a raging fire, burning a lot of scum in the Eight Banners, and also burning out a lot of red gold! Wang Jinxiu is one of them, the fire burned out a great name, and that Xiang Rong, but also dare to fight and dare to kill, the concubine heard that there is a person named Zuo Zongtang in Hunan, who helped Changsha Mansion to defend the city very well, the thieves have been besieged for several months, and they can't be captured, it can be seen that their skills, the emperor also called Zeng Guofan to lead the regimental training in Hunan, these are rare talents, the momentum of the thieves is like fire, but we are not ambiguous, and there are also these talents, we have the ability to resist the thieves. As the saying goes, a thousand armies are easy to obtain, and a general is hard to find, as long as the emperor waits for these people to emerge one by one in the war and promote them to the appropriate position, even if the traitor is arrogant, he has to die down, in addition, the emperor, don't blame the concubine crow's mouth, if Yingyi comes to attack again in the future, our strong army has been trained, wouldn't it be able to give them a ruthless moment! ”

Emperor Xianfeng took Xingzhen's hand and trembled, although the military ministers in the court were rich and wealthy, but this vision was not as good as his own ** Lan'er, these three must win the statement, so that his confidence was full at once!

"Okay, Lan'er, then you go on, which are the three defeats of this traitor?" Emperor Xianfeng was excited and asked questions again and again.

Xingzhen sat down, took out the soft wattle from the emperor's hand, picked up the half-cold tea on the table, didn't care, and drank a few big sips before slowly continuing.

"First, the traitor has lost the hearts of the gentry in the south! Your Majesty, do you remember what Wen Yanbo, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, said to Emperor Shenzong? The emperor rules the world with scholars and doctors! Although this statement is a bit biased, it is also reasonable, the traitor does all kinds of evil in Huguang, especially against the gentry who sharpen their knives Huo Huo, and if they resist a little, they will steal all their family property, how can the gentry in the south not hate? How can we be of one heart and one mind with the thief? The emperor only looked at how many group exercises there were in the place where the Huguang rebels had passed! ”

Anqian and the others who served only heard Yehenara Xingzhen's voice echoing in the hall, the last time the map in the south was placed in Chuxiu Palace after pointing out the Wuchang War, it has been placed in the main hall, Fan'er was blind just now, and took it smartly, Xingzhen unfolded the map and pointed out the country, "The second defeat is that the traitor goes to the east!" Not north or west! If the concubine is a traitor, the emperor should not blame the concubine for speaking badly, the best way is to go north to the Central Plains and compete in the world! According to the momentum of the current traitor, it is more than enough to hit the Yellow River, and it is not a northern and southern dynasty! If the gentry in the south cut off the connection with the center and waited for the traitors to open a national dynasty and set up imperial examinations to collect talents, they would naturally take refuge in the traitors, and the concubines should also congratulate the emperor! In addition, if Hong Yang rebelled and entered Bashu in the west, this country of abundance, the terrain is limited, and it is easier to divide one side, and the southwest establishes the country, and the emperor will look at how many years Shu Han has survived by relying on Sichuan? The traitor chose to go to the east! It can be seen how shallow the eyelids of the traitors are? I was fascinated by the flower world in the southeast, and I wanted to go to a rich place, just waiting for Xiaofu to be safe! ”

"Third, it was this traitor who looked to the southeast, Your Majesty, do you think this tiger is difficult to kill in the mountains and forests, or is it easy to skin and cramp in a cage?"

"That's naturally good to kill in a cage."

"It is precisely this reason, at present, the army of traitors is colliding with each other, just like the tiger in the mountains and forests, we are surrounded everywhere, and we are powerless, but if the traitors go to the southeast flower world, when the time comes, will we not be locked in a cage? As long as we wait for the rebels to determine where the capital is, prepare the army to surround us to the death, do not seek merit, but seek no fault, and circle the tiger and not run around and eat people, it is a big victory! When the strong army is trained, the regimental training in all parts of the south of the Yangtze River will get up, and they will be encircled, and when the time comes, Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing will become tigers in a cage, let us slaughter them! ”

Emperor Xianfeng said with a wry smile: "Your argument of victory and defeat is deafening, I can hear it clearly, but unfortunately, it's just that this method of fire alchemy is really urgent, according to your strategy, there has been no stable life for so many years, and the treasury is like a flood rushing through, how to think of where to make a fortune of millions." Emperor Xianfeng looked at Xingzhen and became more and more interested, "Lan'er, you are indeed a good hand in military affairs, and you have a long-term vision, I don't know if there is a way to relieve my sorrows in this financial plan?" ”
