I don't know what's going on with the festival of the Midyear Festival, the west doesn't like it very much, and then everyone inquired about the day in the garden, and they also knew, why the queen mother and the queen mother were not happy, it was nothing more than thinking of the rebellion of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the past that caused the first emperor to die suddenly, and now the north and south of Xinjiang are in turmoil, and it happened to meet the first emperor's sacrifice day, no wonder the queen mother was not happy, for a time everyone in the Old Summer Palace received a smile, and let the underground palace maids and eunuchs always pay attention, don't not be long-sighted, so that the queen mother is not happy.

The Empress Dowager adjusted herself, and at the beginning of August, she discussed with Ci'an to see what to do during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and made a decree that "the relatives and daughters of each family should enter the garden to drink and feast," and there was a rumor outside, saying that it was probably for the rhythm of choosing a concubine for the emperor at this time, Concubine Li was a little curious, after all, her own Princess Rong'an had not yet been married, and the Empress Dowager Cixi also smiled faintly and was noncommittal.

On this day, everyone was discussing in the Yangxin Palace, speaking that the army had arrived at Yumen Pass, Yang Shusheng took the lead in the battle, defeated the army under Bai Yanhu, slashed and ate people's hearts, and killed the demon Ma Weishou of the people of all ethnic groups, for a time the people of Yumen Pass cheered, Bai Yanhu fled when he heard the wind, Yumen Pass has been cleared for a while, the military aircraft department said a few words, and took the monk Lingqin's report document, read it again, and for a time the palace was full of joy, although it was a small victory, after all, it was also a good start.

"Please also ask the Queen Mother to issue an order to reward Yang Shusheng," Wen Xiang kowtowed and said, "The Military Aircraft Department is also ready to order Shaanxi and Gansu provinces and Mongolian departments to supply grain and grass, and the meaning of the household department is that grain and grass can be deducted from the field tax." The grain and grass of the Mongolian tribes were replaced with tea, silk, and iron tools required by Mongolia. ”

"Yes!" Empress Dowager Cixi nodded, "The army is outside, we must pay attention to logistics, the northwest land, originally I couldn't collect much money, the account book of this household department remembers clearly, now the army is in Shaanxi and Gansu, first close to the army, although now it is different from the Han Dynasty, the land of the Western Regions is the territory of the Celestial Empire, but there are many natives and people of all ethnic groups, and there are not many people there are the central faction in the past, speaking of which, it is also a foreign land." ”

"Yes, now that the Empress Dowager has appointed so many generals in Xinjiang, and Xinjiang has a governor's platform, the situation will get better and better," Prince Gong said, and by the way, he took a fold out of his sleeve, "This is the list of follow-up posts to Xinjiang, Gansu and other places to serve as Daotai, prefect, county governor, county lieutenant, county governor, etc., please make a decision for the Queen Mother." ”

An Dehai took the fold and handed it to Cixi, Cixi opened it and looked at it, most of them were new jinshi hired since Enke in the first year of Tongzhi, "What, the officials," Cixi asked Wenxiang, "There are few old people who are willing to go to Xinjiang?" ”

"Yes," Wen Xiang was a little helpless, "Back to the Queen Mother's words, that's exactly the case." ”

"Anyway, these people, in the end, cherish themselves, Xinjiang is in chaos now, and people who are not seeking wealth and danger dare not go." The Empress Dowager Cixi closed the fold, "I look at this list very well, there are also some people who have not been elected to the official position since the previous dynasty, and some are the best among the donated officials, whether it is gold or not, it is always good to go to Xinjiang for refining." and do as the king of the council does. ”

"Yes."

"What else?"

"Yes, Queen Mother," Li Hongzao, who came in today and didn't speak, spoke, "Zuo Zongtang has no royal law, and he acts recklessly, and the minister impeaches Zuo Zongtang." ”

Three days earlier, Zuo Zongtang, the minister of the Chin Mission, and Peng Yulin, the commander of the Beiyang Naval Division, jointly reported with 800 li to raise troops to question the Sulu State, and the King of Sulu handed over the criminals who bullied the Chinese in the country and executed them all at the port of Hole Island.

Zuo Zongtang also asked Prime Minister Yamen to send ministers to consult with the Spanish governor of Luzon to confirm the status of Sulu as a vassal of the Celestial Empire.

For a while, everyone was stunned by Zuo Zongtang's wanton behavior, especially the emperor Li Hongzao, who knelt in front of the emperor and the queen mother, he always thought that the Beiyang Naval Division was just cruising the South China Sea, but he didn't expect to go to Sulu country!

Nowadays, maps are sold on the market, and Li Hongzao also asked his family to buy a huge map, looked at it carefully with a magnifying glass, and saw the location of Sulu State, which is also too far away from Fuzhou!

"Zuo Zongtang, as a minister of the Qincha, is lawless, disrespectful, and wantonly sails the Beiyang Naval Division out of the country, if Britain and France and other countries have bad intentions and ambush the Beiyang Naval Division overseas, this important weapon of the country since the first year of Tongzhi will not be destroyed in a flash? Moreover, the Spanish ambassador was already furious, "Of course, how can Li Hongzao, who has no eyes to spare, really care about the mood of these foreign devils, but it does not prevent him from using this as a raft now, and using this to attack the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, "If it affects the relationship with foreigners, wouldn't it be a repetition of the unbearable things of the previous emperor!" What Li Hongzhang said was rare and reasonable, and he didn't make trouble with those mysterious words, and everyone's faces were different for a while. Bao Jun opened his mouth wide, but he didn't speak. (To be continued.) )
