Chapter 40: Incomprehension

"Gao Xiang, Xiong Ci stepped down, and the emperor will definitely summon another Manchurian person! And in order to prevent Suo Etu from becoming dominant, this person must be the one who dares to fight with Suo Etu! However, because Suo Etu is the uncle of the former empress, the uncle of the crown prince, and the son of the auxiliary minister Sonny after the founding father, plus he is now in power, most of the people among the Manchurian nobles are looking at him, so who will this candidate 'Manchurian' prime minister be, with the intelligence of the high minister, he will definitely find the answer soon! As for what to do next, Gao Xiang must be very clear! ”

In Gao Shiqi's mouth, Mo Jing didn't get any useful information! Kangxi didn't even announce to the courtiers that the Russian envoys had arrived in Mukden, and he didn't say anything about Manchuria to the courtiers, except for the matter of Old Man Fei planting rice!

What's going on here? After Mo Jing came out of Gao Shiqi's house, she has been pondering!

Did Kangxi not want people to know that he was going to kill the heroes, so he just secretly sent someone to the Northeast to clean himself up? It's unlikely! According to the analysis of Kangxi's actions these days, this person seems to like to play a little bit above board, but, with his ability, it is impossible not to know that he wrote a letter to recruit Fei Duoluo and his gang, and he is ashamed to open up Sino-Russian trade, but why didn't he react? That's not a trivial matter! …… Could it be that Fei Lao is wrong? Then Heilongjiang General Peng Chun didn't write a secret to Kangxi and sold himself? This possibility is too small, Kangxi is in the north, especially in the place where there has been a war with foreign countries, it is impossible not to have an eyeliner, and his own affairs are not a confidential matter in the area of Yaksa and Nebuchu, he has no reason not to know! …… What kind of calculation did Kangxi make?

gave the results of a few days of thinking to Gao Shiqi, Gao Shiqi did not disappoint Mo Jing, and promised to send a letter to Bao Ri Longmei for Mo Jing, so that Bao Ri Longmei could use the excuse of incense to pick up Mo Jing in the Yellow Temple outside Desheng Gate to enter the palace! (Yellow Temple, Beijing Lama Temple, built during the Shunzhi period to welcome the * into Beijing!) )

"Alas, I don't know what's going on at home, but this time the big guys are all on the edge of the cliff...... Let's hope nothing happens! Mo Jing hid in another inn and silently wished!

***************

"Alas, poor man!"

Outside Fengtian City, Old Man Fei gently grabbed a handful of soil and sprinkled it on a new grave in front of him!

This new tomb is very simple, just a pile of earth, with a thin-skinned coffin in it, and if it weren't for the old man's money, I'm afraid even the tombstone would have to be made of wood...... This is Dai Zi's grave!

The old gentleman fell to the ground while selling calligraphy and paintings on the street, and never got up again!

Nothing was left!

Therefore, Old Man Fei asked people to engrave such a sentence on the tombstone: There is a poor old man buried here, and his funeral goods are priceless!

The words are not very good, but they show the mood of Old Man Fei: Qu! Stuffy! Pity! …… Gas!

Not in a good mood at all!

There is another person next to Old Man Fei, Sabusu! This Admiral was pulled over by the way when he came to look for Old Man Fei, who told him to just bump into the funeral procession? Now he is shouting "bad luck" in his heart!

……

"Fei Dutong, the person is dead, have you thought about what to do?" On the way back to Fengtian, Sabu Su asked Old Man Fei that he was moved by Old Man Fei's words at that time, so he couldn't help but write a letter and handed it to Kangxi, wanting to form a new musket battalion of 1,000 people, but he regretted it a few days after sending him away, what 1,000-person musket team can withstand tens of thousands of cavalry? That's worse than blowing an elephant! But what can be sent out can't be recovered, I'm afraid that Kangxi will also find someone to ask him, so he often comes to Old Man Fei, hoping to get more things from Old Man Fei's mouth, and it will be easy to make a difference when the time comes, after all, some of Old Man Fei's words are a little insightful, and as a result, it is not good to annoy Old Man Fei.

"What do I think? The capital always doesn't give a reply, do you dare to try to make those firearms? Besides, Dai Zi is dead, and can he help you make it? It's hard! ……”

"Alas, forget it, the emperor will make a decision! …… By the way, the Russian envoy still wants you to accompany him, this Fengtian is the only one who understands their bird language, that guy from Yuheng has looked for me several times, if you don't go over, he really won't be able to get off the stage! ”

"Isn't he too lazy to pay attention to those old hairy people? Why do you want to find a translator for those guys again? ”

"The emperor has an order, let him try his best to figure out the purpose of these Russians, but he is a chicken to a duck, and he can't understand anything, do you think he is not in a hurry?"

"Didn't these Russians come to negotiate trade between the two countries? What other purpose could it be? ”

"Come on, these old hairy people are insatiable, saying that they came to negotiate trade matters, who knows if they are intent on spying on the strength and intelligence of our dynasty? Perhaps, they just want to take advantage of our westward expedition to Geldan to fight back! ”

"Well, that's true! …… But what good do they do by doing so? ”

"Benefits?"

"Yes! What you just said actually I have thought about it a long time ago, but unfortunately, in any way, I cannot find a reason for the Russians to start another war! ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Their population is too small, and it is beyond their control to have such a large piece of land, and they will fight with us thousands of miles away from home, and they will face the danger of being wiped out at any time, although they are barbarians, they are not stupid, how can they do such a thing?"

"Didn't you say that they had just won a great battle in the west now? Who knows if they want to take advantage of the victory and expand the country as soon as their brains are hot! ”

"If they really want to take advantage of the victory, they won't go to war with us!"

"Oh?"

"Their strategic focus...... Well, it's the main area, in the west, that's their heart, this big land in the east, for these Russians, it's sparsely populated, it's hard to grow crops, and it's only worthy of letting them exile criminals! Except for some adventurers and outlaws who want to make a fortune in the East, their people are too lazy to come to our side! ”

"Then you mean that these Russians are really here to negotiate trade?"

"It should be!"

"Then you said they don't want to come to us from all walks of life!"

"That's normal, but trading with us, for them, that's money! It's not that you don't know, this war is about money, and they won in the west, but I estimate that they are also about to go bankrupt, otherwise, why didn't they communicate with our court, and ask if the court sent a minister plenipotentiary if it agreed to trade? It's too shameful for them to do this, right? ”

"That's the way it is! However, Fei Lao Dutong, you better go and take a look at those people, I heard Yuheng say that those guys are already a little restless in the post house, you just go and appease them! Let them honestly wait there for the holy decree, at least, don't let them force Lao Tzu to use force! ”

"Alright! Anyway, I don't have anything to do right now, so let's go and take a look! "Just to help Mo Jing make offerings! Old man Fei was secretly happy.

"By the way, there's one more thing ......"

"What's the matter?"

"I didn't want to tell you, but I don't think it's a bit boring! …… The emperor has decreed, let me look at you, so that you can't leave Fengtian for half a step! ……”

“…… You? …… No wonder you want to follow to see Dai Zi's burial, I thought you were ...... Hmph, so it's because of this thought? ”

"You can't blame me for that! The emperor's order is hard to disobey! ”

There was not a hint of apology on Sabusu's face!
