Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After the dispersion of the dynasty, Xingzhen met alone with Guiliang, Wenxiang, Shen Zhaolin, Linkui and other military ministers. She repeatedly explained that the opening of the ban outside the customs must be reiterated that the landlords of the land were still the Manchu nobles. She also ordered someone to summon Qiao Zhiyong.  Wait for the eight Shanxi merchants to come to an agreement on the loan.  .  .  Read the latest and most complete novel Qiao Zhiyong and others have made good arrangements for borrowing, repayment, and grain collection, and Guiliang and others can't find any faults.

    To be fair, Guiliang, Wenxiang and other Guarjias also had large areas of uncultivated wasteland outside the customs. The imperial court could relax the ban and allow the Manchu and Qing nobles to recruit Han people to cultivate the land for the bannermen. How could the Manchu and Qing nobles  With an extra amount of land rent, the court can get one more penny of food to collect, and there will be fewer refugees in the pass to rebel. This is a good thing that can be achieved in one fell swoop.  It's just that the confinement is always an ancestral system, and the Manchus are also worried that once the Han people leave the customs and cultivate the land, and the population multiplies, they will sooner or later gain a foothold outside the customs. Once the population increases, there will inevitably be no trouble.  But Xingzhen seems to have decided on this matter, and Guiliang and others can't say anything else.

    After the charter was agreed upon, Qiao Zhiyong and others resigned. Xingzhen said to Shen Zhaolin: "Shen Aiqing's note talks about the affairs of Shaanxi and Gansu. Although the transportation of grain from Shaanxi to Gansu is inconvenient, the land blocked by the Hetao has always been a fertile land in the northwest.  In recent years, the Han and Mongolian ethnic groups there are mixed together, and the situation is quite complicated. If you are not careful, there will be a second rebellion in Yunnan. I want to send you as the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu. I hope you can solve the conflict between Shaanxi and Gansu.  thing."

    Shen Zhaolin bowed and accepted the order: "I will definitely stabilize the land of Shaanxi and Gansu and live up to the great trust of the imperial court."

    After Xingzhen hummed, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she said calmly: "The folk customs in the northwest are strong and fierce. I heard that the various clans have been feuding for a long time. Shen Aiqing will not pay attention to any clan feuds when she goes here, and will only use the court's laws to decide the matter. Yes.  It¡¯s obvious at a glance that those who are disobedient to the king¡¯s law, no matter which tribe they are, must be shocked with thunderous means to achieve success. If necessary, you can make a decision on the fly. In short, kill those who deserve to be killed, don¡¯t be merciful!¡±

    These words were said with murderous intent.  Shen Zhaolin couldn't help but shudder. When he tasted it carefully, Shen Zhaolin felt bright in his heart. There were not many Meng people in Shaanxi and Gansu.  Most of them are businessmen living in the country, and the Han and Hui ethnic groups are the most numerous. The Han people have always followed the king's laws, and they have never done anything disobeying the king's law.  However, the remaining large clan has always been dissatisfied with Wang Hua.  In the past, during the Kangxi, Yongzong and Qianlong dynasties, Shen Zhaolin had fought many battles with the imperial court. After hearing this, Shen Zhaolin already knew that Xingzhen wanted him to use thunderous methods in Shaanxi and Gansu to intimidate him, so he immediately obeyed the order.

    Then Xingzhen took out the memorials of Zhang Liangji and Peng Yulin and said: "Guilin fell recently, Jiang Zhongyuan and others died in the battle, Guangxi has no leader, how should the situation in Guangxi be handled? This time the Xiangyong and Zhenjun soldiers were wiped out, but Peng Yulin's troops  An Ran returned to Xiangdi. In the end, it was Xiang Yong who betrayed Peng Yulin. Or Peng Yulin and Changmao colluded. Peng Yulin and Zeng Guofan had different opinions. This matter has also caused a headache for me. Please tell me."  At this point, Xingzhen's tone revealed a deep sense of powerlessness.

    Sometimes she is very angry, asking herself that her historical experience and knowledge are not inferior to Xiao Yungui. She is confident that if they were on the same starting line, she may not lose to Xiao Yungui. Unfortunately, her days in power are still too short, unlike Xiao Yungui.  Yunnan and Guizhou took the initiative as soon as they came up, and gave up Nanjing to a few princes. He hid in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai to concentrate on developing his own power, and finally reaped the benefits.  And she still has a lot of things to do, and Xiao Yungui, a bastard, keeps finding troublesome things for her to do all day long.

    She wants to negotiate with Britain and France. Even if Britain and France demand too much, she can agree to it. It is nothing more than opening Tianjin as a treaty port, ceding the Kowloon Peninsula to Britain or ceding some interests in Vietnam to France. She can agree to all these.  As long as Britain and France were tilted toward the Manchus, she would have room for maneuver. But at this time, Xiao Yungui used some diplomatic means to get Britain and France to agree to the ridiculous five-party talks. Who has ever seen a country invade the country with two other countries?  The leader and the rebels of the country sat down and negotiated together?

    She finally got Zhang Liangji and Zeng Guofan to send troops to rescue Guangxi. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yungui played an Infernal Affairs trick. He defeated the powerful Xiangyong reinforcements in Hunan, but spared Peng Yulin's troops, thus maintaining the balance of forces in Hunan.  This made Zhang Liangji and Zeng Guofan even more incompatible. She, Xingzhen, had to make the decision in this lawsuit. It was really frustrating.

    Then there is the new army from the capital that is still entangled with Lin Fengxiang in Huaishang. After this new army seized Ronglu's military power from Xingzhen, half of the troops were controlled by Cheng'en, and half of the troops were with the capital guards in Qi.  In the hands of Prince Yihuan, the two soldiers and horses, like the Mongolian cavalry of the Senggelinqin tribe, were the greatest guarantee of military power in the hands of Prince Xingzhen and Prince Gong.  Originally, after quelling the Nian bandits, Xingzhen could free up one of her troops to fight in the south, but Xiao Yungui asked Lin Fengxiang to launch local campaigns in northern Jiangsu and Huainan. Cheng'en was unable to escape, and Seng Gelinqin  To guard against the British and French forces still lingering outside the entrance of Dagu, they could not spare their hands, so they could only watch as Xiao Yungui gradually encroached on the southwest.

    Since I knowAfter discovering the identity of the other party, Xingzhen always felt that she was falling into Xiao Yungui's trap at every turn, and each time became more sinister and sinister. Sometimes Xingzhen really wanted to sprinkle some poison on the letter to Xiao Yungui and kill this bastard.  never mind.

    After hearing Xingzhen's words, Guiliang and others were silent for a while. Guiliang is the father-in-law of Prince Gong. Wenxiang, Shen Zhaolin, Lin Kui and others were also promoted by Xingzhen. They are all leaders of Xingzhen and Yi?  People usually don't shy away from anything when talking about things, but today they were silent together. It is true that this time the matter is too difficult.

    After a while, Gui Liangcai slowly said: "Your Majesty, the reinforcements from Hunan have been defeated, Guilin has fallen, there are still rebellions in Yunnan and Guizhou, and they have too much time to take care of themselves. The reinforcements from Sichuan, Shaanxi-Gansu, and Jingxiang cannot quench their thirst from far away. Guangxi has become  Now that the situation is over, I think what we should plan now is how to maintain Yunnan and Guizhou and other places to prevent Changmao from taking advantage of the situation to enter Yunnan and Guizhou provinces. Once Yunnan and Guizhou are lost again, Shuzhong will be shaken and Guanzhong will also be unstable. "

    Xingzhen rubbed her temples and said, "How to maintain the land of Yunnan and Guizhou?"

    Guiliang, a wily man, said slowly: "Peng Yulin can be transferred to Yunnan to serve as the governor of Yunnan. In this lawsuit between Zhang Liangji, Peng Yulin and Zeng Guofan, no matter who is right or wrong, the court cannot deal with any party. Zeng Guofan has to explain.  Peng Yulin also wants to save face, so letting Peng Yulin go to Yunnan to resist Changmao can be regarded as a punishment method. As for the rumors that Peng Yulin and Changmao are colluding, the slaves are a hundred people who don't believe it. Peng Yulin and Changmao  After many years of fighting, Zuo Zongtang, the long-haired thief, wrote to recruit him many times, but he ignored them. How could he collude today? If it was a collusion, then he led his troops to join the long-haired army. Why did he return to Xiangdi?  Come?"

    Wen Xiang also said: "What Lao Zhongtang said is true. Peng Yulin's talents are not inferior to Jiang Zhongyuan's. With him in Yunnan and Guizhou, everything can be guaranteed. There is also an explanation for Zeng Guofan's transfer of him from Hunan. However, Zeng Guofan's dispatch of troops this time has been delayed."  , and I am afraid that this old fox is the one responsible for the strange incident of Li Zhong¡¯s troops dispatching troops, and we should also take a beating.¡±

    Xingzhen hummed and said, "Then let's do it this way."

    After the discussion was complete, Guiliang said cautiously: "Queen Mother, the regulations for lifting the ban are complete. We only need to stamp the royal seals on the two palaces and let the emperor use the seals before they can be promulgated to the world. But"

    Xingzhen hummed, playing with the cloisonn¨¦ nail polish on her fingers, and said lightly: "Are you worried that your sister won't use the seal?"

    Guiliang nodded and said: "Prince Gong also agrees with the lifting of the ban, but Prince Gong is worried that the young and old men in the clan will cry to the Queen Mother. We all know that the Queen Mother is soft-hearted, and we are afraid that she will listen to others.  Slanderers refuse to use the seal."

    Xingzhen waved her hands and said: "Sister, I will tell you, Guiliang, you just need to keep an eye on the news in the capital, and if necessary, the Qi Ye's infantry commander's office will be here, I don't believe what those people can cause.  Here comes the moth. Things outside the customs are also extremely important. After you leave the customs, Wenxiang, you must first sort out the household registration of the people already outside the customs and conduct a population census. I am afraid that there are long-haired people among them. If necessary, I will ask the Heilongjiang general and the clan minister Yishan  Let me help you. Wen Xiang, when you go outside the customs this time, in addition to completing the errands of opening the ban, you also have to be more careful about the Rakshasa people."

    Wen Xiang was slightly startled and said, "A Rakshasa?"

    Xingzhen hummed softly and said: "The Rakshasa people have been coveting my land in the northeast for a long time. Although the previous Changmao fought them back and the imperial court also increased the number of troops stationed in Heilongjiang, after all, the land outside the pass is vast and sparsely populated. You  In addition to handling the matter of opening the ban, we must also take the matter of border guarding into consideration. Opening the ban and moving people out of the customs is to enrich the population outside the customs. Reclamation and border guarding are one thing, and they must be done together."

    Wen Xiang bowed and accepted the order, thinking to himself that the reason why the Queen Mother opened the ban was not only for money and food, but also to be wary of Rakshasa people. Fortunately, the Queen Mother had given her a few words, otherwise he would have been unable to complete his errands this time when he went outside the customs.  Confused.

    Xingzhen added: "Old General Yishan had dealt with foreign barbarians during the Daoguang Dynasty. In the first year of Xianfeng, General Yishan also signed the "Ili Tarbahatai Trade Regulations" with the Rakshasa people. Although Old General Yishan at that time  The generals often made concessions to the Rakshasa people, but they were finally able to stabilize the situation. You should remember one thing when you go. Stability is needed outside the pass, but you must not cede an inch of land because of this. Even if the Rakshasa people go to war because of this, we will wait for you.  Don¡¯t hesitate to fight!¡±

    Wen Xiang was stunned for a moment and said: "But Queen Mother, there are still Changmao outside the customs occupying Sakhalin Island, Dalian Bay and other places. They are afraid that if we have a fight with the Rakshasa people and start a war, Changmao will take the opportunity to stab us in the back.  "

    Xingzhen was silent for a moment and then slowly sighed and said: "You should do as I want. I believe that Long Hair will not hold us back when it comes to dealing with the Rakshasa people.  , on the contrary, they may even attack the Rakshasa people together."

    Guiliang, Wenxiang and others looked at each other, but they didn¡¯t know that Xingzhen wasHow could he be so sure? Shen Zhaolin figured it out. He frowned and thought to himself: "Could it be that the dispute between us and Changmao is just a matter of brother Xiao Qiang? Once the Rakshasa people come, Changmao will still  Abandoning grudges and uniting to the outside world? Then why are Britain and France so close again?" (To be continued)
