3. Ten Thousand Miles of Wind and Sand (6)
There was something else in the Queen Mother's words, Shi Dakai gritted his teeth and was silent, and the Queen Mother asked again, "Are there any other descendants of the royal family?" ”
"Perhaps, the princes of various states used to intermarry with the royal family, and in total, these people have more or less royal blood. www.biquge.info"Shi Dakai said, he has been here for many years, and these things are clear.
"You go find someone to come out," the Queen Mother said, "It doesn't matter who you are, as long as you are a native, it is better if you have Chinese blood, you have to be noble, pretend to be a descendant of the Indian emperor, and then contact the local natives, don't do it alone, contact more friends, get more help, what will you do after that, will you?" ”
"This, but the last queen of India is still in Yangon, why doesn't the king of wings send someone to lobby the queen, if she is allowed to come forward, this matter is somewhat reliable." Gao Xinkui said.
"That's better," the Empress Dowager Cixi nodded, "if you want guns and cannons, you will naturally continue to give them, you put them in India, make trouble, and the British will be able to pay less attention to China, although we are not friends, but naturally I don't want to be enemies, besides, the country's righteousness is like this, you do such a thing for China, and it will be clear every day in the future, and naturally it will not bury you." ”
Shi Dakai smiled miserably, "For so many years, Shi is still a knife for people." ”
"I'm different from Hong Xiuquan, I've never been a cunning rabbit and a dead lackey, Shi Dakai, aren't you at ease?" The Queen Mother shook her head, "In the past, Agubo was in turmoil, and the British wanted me to give up you as a condition to quell the rebellion in Western Xinjiang, but I didn't agree, and I can't think of any big price to make me give up waiting in the future." The Queen Mother clapped her hands, "Look, who is this?" ”
A eunuch came out with a young man wearing a four-regiment dragon mending uniform with braids, and when the young man saw Shi Dakai, he shouted timidly, "Uncle Shi!" ”
Shi Dakai saw the person in disbelief, shouted, stumbled forward, knelt down in front of the young man, and wept bitterly, "Young Heavenly King! ”
"Shi Dakai, there is no young king now." Gao Xinkui saw Shi Dakai like this, he didn't know what he touched, he felt empathy, and tears were about to drop from the corners of his eyes, but he couldn't help himself, "This is Cheng Pingbo." ”
Shi Dakai hugged the young man and cried for a while, "I thought you had died in Tianjing, but I didn't expect that I would have a chance to see you again now!" He raised his head again and looked at Hong Tianfu carefully, and saw that Hong Tianfu was in good health, although his face was a little depressed, Shi Dakai opened his heart, Hong Tianfu also hugged Shi Dakai with tears and helped Shi Dakai wipe away his tears, "Uncle Shi, don't be sad, my aunt is still there, she is fine, I also married a wife, and now I have two children, I am very good in Beijing, I can study, I can travel, but I can't go out of Beijing," Hong Tianfu looked at Shi Dakai, "Uncle Shi, the situation is stronger than people, some thoughts are rested, live a good life, Dingzhong and I are in Beijing, all the time, and I don't think about Uncle Shi. ”
Shi Dingzhong is Shi Dakai's youngest son, and after the separation of the Dadu River, he has not seen him for ten years. Shi Dakai turned around silently in tears, and kowtowed three times sincerely, "Shi is willing to die for the Queen Mother!" ”
"You don't have to die," the Queen Mother waved her hand and asked Hong Tianfu to step back, "I want you to live well, in the past, you were the main and did things, I don't blame you, I heard that you are very strict in governing the army, and you have not tortured and killed the people, I pity you as a hero, Shi Dakai, you know, for a superior like us, killing a person is the easiest thing, but if it is to cultivate a person, it is not so simple, so I have never been willing to kill people easily, you are like this, keep a useful body and continue to work hard," the Queen Mother stood up, handed the holy decree in Gao Xinkui's hand to Shi Dakai, "This is the edict written by the emperor himself before leaving Beijing, you can accept the edict." The three kings of Fenger and the other kings are the lords of this land, and they will always be vassals of the Celestial Empire. This thing is only for your military intentions, and you can't let the British know about it, so you have to keep it carefully, you know? ”
Shi Dakai knelt on the ground and offered it with both hands, "Shi has a matter, please ask the Queen Mother for permission." ”
"You say."
"Shi is willing to replace the young king, no, Cheng Pingbo, as a hostage in Beijing, please let Cheng Pingbo come to India as a country."
The Queen Mother smiled silently, Gao Xinkui shook her head, "King Yi, you are bad, now that you are in danger, how can you let Cheng Pingbo come here and suffer from displacement?" This is just a displacement, but at the moment of the British, it is not known whether this net worth can be saved, and the Queen Mother is not afraid that you will rebel again, but Cheng Pingbo is in Beijing, which is better than being here. If the Wing King wants to let Cheng Pingbo become a vassal, how can he not make more efforts to lay a great foundation for Cheng Pingbo in India. ”
"Hong Xiuquan is dead, and I don't want to kill more, so I left Hong Tianfu, first, to be honest, just to tie you up, but if you don't have this person in your heart, I will naturally raise this person in vain, second, I want to show the world that those who rebel like the Taiping Army, such as Hong Xiuquan's son, I can tolerate it, and be as generous as me, and there must be no more dynasties." The Queen Mother praised herself, and when she saw that Shi Dakai was still kneeling on the ground and couldn't get up, she frowned slightly, "Hong Tianfu has no military talent and talent, but he has a lot of experience in financial schemes, and now he is on an errand in the household department, and he does things properly, you said that he was originally an ordinary person, so ordinary people can pass a lifetime, why do you want to pull him in and enter the world of your swords and swords?" ”
"The Queen Mother has pity on our loyalty, we naturally dare not forget our loyalty, and now we are naturally a minister in front of the Queen Mother, but in the past, Shi was reused by the King of Heaven, and I didn't dare to forget the great grace, if this place is a feudal country of the Heavenly Empire, the lord of this country must naturally be Cheng Pingbo, not anyone else!"
Shi Dakai knelt down again and again, but the Queen Mother couldn't, "That's it, then when the situation here is stable, every three years, you or Chen Yucheng, or Li Xiucheng, personally go to Beijing to pick up Cheng Pingbo here, and the person who picks him up can stay in Beijing, Cheng Pingbo will lead the position of the lord of the country in Beijing, and the three of you will deal with things in ordinary times." ”
Shi Dakai kowtowed again and thanked him, "Then please give the Queen Mother the name of the country." ”
"The name of the country," the Queen Mother looked at the map again, the blue line marked by the Ganges River, the crisscrossing rivers covered with the river valley plains bordering India and Burma, the Queen Mother hummed a song, "Another glass of the ancient and mysterious Ganges water, I set the cat's eye on the forehead, unveiled the celebration." ”
"Let's call it Bangladesh! By the way, the British port officer of Calcutta sent a few Indian dancing girls, the Wing King, the night dew is heavy, let's take a look together, I heard that the dancers here are very good, but it is rare to see, drink a few glasses, and then set off to go back to fight. ”
