Chapter 185: Zeng Guofan's Temporary Judgment (4)

The two palaces took over, and then summoned Prince Gong Yixun to discuss secretly, and Yixun said: Zeng Guofan planned to try to negotiate the accidental killing of Russian lives and the accidental destruction of the British and American lecture halls, so as not to be confused with France, what he saw was very good; borrowed money to repay debts and killed people to pay for their lives, and Zeng Guo's affairs should be quickly arrested to show goodwill.

Empress Dowager Cixi said: The common people can be killed, but the generals and officials cannot be moved. Zeng Guofan's performance is full of reasons and seems to be feasible. That is, the Tianjin ministers and the four officials of the province, the government and the county were cut to block the mouth of the legal person. The Minister of Trade of the Three Mouths is noble and can not be good alone, and with his original products resting, Mao Changxi, the Imperial History of the Left Capital and the Secretary of the Ministry of Industry, went to Tianjin to temporarily serve as the Minister of Commerce of the Three Mouths.

Yi Xun said: Lofty and dense, Zeng Guofan's old illness and diarrhea are the same, and foreign affairs are cumbersome, and Zeng Guofan may have been overwhelmed. The slave thought that Ding Richang, the governor of Jiangsu, was familiar with foreign affairs, and if he went to Tianjin, it would be of great benefit.

Empress Dowager Cixi said: This palace is not an official, and foreigners are unscrupulous, or they may have to return to Shu; The defense of Gyeonggi, Tianjin, and Shanghai and Haikou must be strengthened. If Zuo Zongtang captures Jinji Fort, Li Hongzhang's Huaiyong can also move to Tianjin; Huang Yisheng's Yangtze River Sailor was stationed in Jinling, where there was nothing to do, and he was in vain; Ma Xinyi, the governor of Liangjiang, asked Huang to move to Shanghai, which was feasible.

Yi Xun said: The Queen Mother of Qi and the Queen Mother of the Holy Mother, the slaves thought that Li Hongzhang's Huai Yong could be moved; However, the sailor of the Zeng State Domain should not be moved lightly.

Empress Dowager Cixi said: The pacesetters of the five battalions under Ma Xinyi have been trained for three years and have become an army. Zeng Xiang is already at the end of the crossbow, and when the two rivers move the sky and change the day, it is the time when the gold and silver of the reverse inventory are revealed.

Yi Xun said: The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, move the whole body with a hair, and the silver of rebellion must not be mentioned again; Zeng Guofan abolished 100,000 Xiangyong, which has reached 10 million silver.

Empress Dowager Cixi said: The first emperor said that those who conquer Jinling can be crowned the king of the county; Jinling City was broken, and the Zeng brothers got a lord and an uncle, and the non-imperial court was ashamed of the Zeng family, and it was actually the first to distribute the reverse treasury silver privately.

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: In an eventful autumn, it is not appropriate to settle old accounts. However, Zuo Zongtang's Chu Army and Li Hongzhang's Huai Yong can be dispatched at will; The two rivers are the two rivers of the Qing Dynasty, not the land outside the law of the Hunan people.

Empress Dowager Cixi said: The friendship of people and ministers, galloping on the battlefield with guns on horseback, dismounting and writing to appease Li Shu; Zuo Zongtang is also, Li Hongzhang is also, Ma Xinyi is also; Ma Xinyi was originally under the command of Yuan Jiasan, and in recent years, he supervised the two rivers, swept away the malpractices of Cao Yun, salt administration, and river work, and properly handled the Anqing teaching case last year. Zuo, Li, and Ma are rising, and I am blessed by the Qing Dynasty.

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: Zeng Guofan's speech on the Tianjin teaching plan is indeed not false, but if you capture and kill our people to please the foreigners, how can you deal with the ministers of the court and the people of the market?

Yixun Road; The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, and the Anqing Lesson Case, there were no casualties, and they could be properly handled if they made a slight concession. However, in the Tianjin teaching case, more than 20 foreigners and parishioners died each, and it was by no means a concession that could be done. The slave thought that one life was worth one life, and one or twenty prisoners should be killed quickly; Chen Guorui, Zhang Guangzao, Liu Jie and others had no way to control the people, so they were dismissed from their posts and punished.

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: I have retreated, like foreigners still have threatening and threatening words; Zeng and others must hold the right argument and refute it with reason, so that they can break the enemy's flame and Zhang Guowei. In a word, the peace situation should be preserved, and the people's will should not be lost. Zeng Guofan should always be aware of people's feelings and make overall plans; Only when the people's hearts are convinced can the foreign minister be at peace.

Empress Dowager Cixi said: The crowd is leisurely, and the discussion is clear; Quickly spread the holy message, and the governors of the provinces appeased the generals, and immediately assisted in the Tianjin teaching plan of Zeng Guofan; Zeng Guofan, the governor of Zhili, immediately supervised the Ming army Ding Shouchang and arrested the murderer; Ding Richang, the governor of Jiangsu, galloped into Tianjin, assisted Zeng Chen, and handled lesson plans; Huang Yisheng, the commander of the Yangtze River Naval Division, galloped to Shanghai to protect Wusong Haikou.

Yi Xun said: The Empress Dowager, the slave thinks that Huang Yisheng's Yangtze River sailor should not be moved lightly.

Empress Dowager Cixi said: As the saying goes, the grass scares the snake, this does not hit the grass, the snake can appear! Judging by the appearance, Zeng Guofan is indeed loyal; However, I don't know if it is broad-minded? Paying money to please and killing people to seek peace are all expedient measures; Zeng's recital cannot be exhausted, and there are five doubts in it, and the Military Aircraft Department must consider the intentions of the imperial court and intercept them as appropriate.

Zeng Guofan received the order, quickly arrested forty or fifty criminals, and told the people of Tianjin: Since the three or four years of Xianfeng, the headquarters has heard that the people of Tianjin are all righteous, and they are all upright and happy.

The husband is righteous, saves the danger of people, and is anxious for the injustice of people, that is, the so-called heroes in ancient times. Those who are upright and move forward, regardless of others, can go with fire and water, and can go with white knives.

Si Gu is a rare quality and useful talent, but if it is not good at cultivating, it will either be good and righteous but unreasonable, or strong and unforesighted, which is enough to cause chaos.

That is, based on the incident of 23 May yesterday, when I heard that there were rumors in the church about abducting young children and gouging out their eyes and dissecting their hearts, the people of Tianjin were angry with foreigners, and they were also inspired by righteous indignation.

However, it must be investigated to be sure, if there is an eyeless and heartless corpse that is actually buried by the church, and if there is a crime of abducting a young child that is really instructed by the church, and then blame the foreigners, it is not false.

And even if there is real evidence, it is reasonable to report it to the official, who will inform the consul, and the consul will present it to the minister, and then punish the clergy who knows about the abduction and the foreigner who gouges out his eyes and dissects his heart.

Today, I have not searched for conclusive evidence of abduction and eye-gouging evidence, and I have just thought about venting my anger based on rumors. Neither the Chinese officials nor the foreign officials will be told and punished by themselves; He did not show up to the officials, killed many people without permission, and burned many places. This is why the people are usually unreasonable.

If I can kill, he can also kill; If I can burn, he can burn the newspaper. Calling for anger with anger, calling chaos with chaos, and taking revenge; The people and houses of Tianjin are all in danger. Inside, the emperor's worries are worried, and outside, the suspicions of all countries are aroused. Ten years of peace, maintaining many sides but insufficient; Once a radical change, there is more than enough poison for thousands of surnames.

For example, if there are children in the family, but they are angry for a while, and they enter the court regardless of the calamity, and the humiliation affects the father and brother, can it? The country has a soldier and a people, but it is angry for a while, regardless of the fact that the war starts in the field and endangers the king, but what? The people of this place have no foresight.

Jinjun has a good and righteous wind, a strong spirit, and many talents can be used, but if you make good use of it, you will be ready to dry the city; If it is misused, it will cause trouble.

When the church was burned down on the 23rd, the bandits mixed in, looted their belongings, and returned with them. Beginning with righteous indignation, and ending with profit, it is not particularly ridiculed by foreigners, that is, the local gentry, and they are ashamed to be with it!
