18. Five Horses Enter Beijing (9)
"This," Zuo Zongtang hesitated slightly, not knowing how to speak, the Queen Mother meant to move her position? Just where do you want to go on your own? was thinking wildly in her heart, and the Queen Mother also knew that Zuo Zongtang was not easy to answer, so she said, "The affairs of the Nanyang Sailor must be done, but it can't be done now!" The war in the northwest has not been settled, and we have not yet learned the technology of this warship, this palace expects that the fleet of the Nanyang Navy Division in the future will have to do it by itself, so that it can not be controlled by others, and wait, the prime minister Yamen Tongwenguan sent people to study abroad can always learn something to come back, and when the time comes, it will be built, and it will be handed over to you to do when the time comes, I am afraid that you will dislike the trouble.

Zuo Zongtang was slightly disappointed in his heart, but he didn't dare to say in his mouth, he also knew very well, there are twelve towns in front of him, even if Zhejiang and Fujian have money, they will not let their local governors come to pay for their own water division, the queen mother finished talking about this Nanyang water division, and asked: "Zuo Qing, the war in Xinjiang is not smooth, the monk and the king sacrificed his life for the country, except for Dihua, all of the western Xinjiang fell into the hands of Agubai, Bai Yanhu was wreaking havoc between Yumen Pass and Hami, the grain road was not smooth, although Wu Yundi is currently dangerous, but he is also worry-free for the time being, It's just that I'm afraid that there will be a big defeat next, in fact, this big defeat is just that, but I'm afraid that all the soldiers will be folded in Xinjiang, if so, I am afraid that the family left by Hong Yang will be lost! What do you think is going to happen next? ”
"Some people in the DPRK and China have proposed that Xinjiang is a barren land, a vast desert and a thousand miles of red land, Xinjiang is no longer restored, and the vitality of the limbs is not harmed, and the sea frontier is not guarded, then the great trouble of the henchmen will become more and more thorny, if it is not abandoned, what does the Queen Mother think?"
"You haven't answered the palace, but you have come to the school palace, or not, the whole world is not the king's land, the north and south roads of the Tianshan Mountains are rich in grain production, and the reserves of coal, iron, gold, silver and jade are extremely rich, which is really a pot of treasure. Moreover, Aguba is just a petty official in Kokand, and he still wants to swallow elephants and occupy thousands of miles of land in Xinjiang? If it is so easy to indulge, what will the vassal think in the future? I've heard that at the junction of Tibet and Myanmar, there are also people who are ready to move, and this is an example! ”
"If Xinjiang is lost, Yumen Pass will really become a border fortress in the future, the Mongolian tribes are naturally ready to move, Tibet and Qinghai will not be peaceful, Sichuan, Gansu and Shaanxi are all border fortresses, so down, I am afraid that it is another Song Dynasty. When the time comes, hehe, even if I have this face to go down to see the first emperor, I'm afraid that the first emperor won't want to see this palace. ”
"I set Ding Yandu, Mongolia sanitation north, more than 100 years without the beacon police, except for the old years of the Kou from the sea, and there is no Han, Tang, Song and Ming Dynasty and other northern Kou troubles, thanks to the Mongolian tribes returned to the Central Plains, is the heavy Xinjiang so protect Mongolia, protect Mongolia so Wei Jingshi. If Xinjiang is not solid, Mongolia will be uneasy, Mongolia will be uneasy, then Russia will drive south, and the bandits in Shaanxi, Gansu, and Shanxi will invade from time to time, and it will be impossible to prevent it. The situation is very different from the past. The Russians are expanding their territory day by day, from west to east for more than 10,000 miles, connecting with our northern border, and only the middle section is covered by the Mongolian department. The salary should be far away, and the curve should be the first, especially for those who are not prepared. ”
"Absolutely! So how to pacify Xinjiang? ”
"First the north and then the south, slow forward and fight!" Zuo Zongtang didn't think about Xinjiang affairs, he was an old soldier, he thought slightly, raised his head with blazing eyes and said these eight words. (To be continued.) )
