    Several people ran over and saw that the rider on the horse was unconscious. His face was covered with bloody cuts, which were blown by the wind outside the wall. The hands that were holding the reins were already bloody.  , already stuck to the rough reins.  Even though these few Khovd cavalrymen were accustomed to hardship, they couldn't help but change their expressions slightly when they saw this.  "It's one of our own!" When the leader saw the mark on the mount's leg, his face suddenly changed. He stretched out his hand to check the rider's breathing and said sternly: "You're still breathing, get it off quickly. You two can boil some water and pour some milk."  Scumbag!" The rider was put down in a hurry. The leader carefully wiped the rider's face with a cloth dipped in some water from the leather bag. The muscles on the rider's face twitched a few times and his eyes opened.  "Quick, quick, the Living Buddha has passed away, and the Khalkha Mongols have rebelled!" "Brother, can you please speak slowly?" The rider's eyes swept across the few people in front of him, and he saw the army logo on the leader's helmet, and his face showed  An anxious look: "Quickly inform Mr. Gao of Yanshan Prefecture that the Living Buddha Jebtsundamba of Kulun is dead and the Khalkha Mongols have rebelled!" Hanking, Political Affairs Hall.  Wang Qinian was sitting in front of the case with an air of dignity, listening to a dozen civil servants reporting to him news from various places.  At this time, there was a rush of footsteps outside, and a pale-faced young civil servant rushed in, shouting repeatedly: "It's not good, it's not good!" Wang Qinian snorted coldly, and his eyes swept over that person like cold electricity.  The young civil servant felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head. He trembled, bowed and handed over a telegram, and said in a low voice: "Ms. Wang, there is an urgent call from Yanshan Mansion!" "Tomorrow, copy the Tao Te Ching three times, sir.  Work hard to nourish your energy!" Wang Qinian took the message and said coldly.  "Yes!" Wang Qinian opened the telegram, and a line of text immediately caught his eye, and his eyelids couldn't help but twitch slightly: "Thirteen years ago, Jebtsundamba VII passed away, changes occurred in Kulun, foreign affairs were established, and mobilization has been ordered.  If you are good at what you do, please forgive me! "Chen Ting Yu Zi" Cining Palace.  Empress Dowager Deng was sitting behind the curtain. Lin Wanqing and Jiang Qingyue were sitting on both sides. Only Wang Qinian's deep and deep voice could be heard coming in from outside the curtain: "Report to the Empress Dowager, according to what Mr. Gao, the left-behind man of Yanshan Prefecture, said in the telegram  Thirteen days ago, in the middle of the night on April 27, "Living Buddha" Jebu Zumba VII passed away. That night, a mutiny broke out in Kulun, the capital of Khalkha Mongolia, and rebels surrounded the capital of Kulun.  Wei Jueluo sent a messenger to flee to Hailar before being surrounded. Master Gao, who was left behind in Yanshan Prefecture, had ordered the Manchu and Zhangbei guards to mobilize and prepare to send troops! In Zhezi, Master Gao has already apologized for his specialties!  It's urgent, Master Gao did the right thing, and I will reward you immediately!" Empress Dowager Deng said solemnly: "Jue Luo was not afraid of danger and handled it calmly, and the messenger who sent the message back will be rewarded heavily!" "The Queen Mother is wise!"  Wang Qinian said in a deep voice.  "Ms. Wang, what do you think we should do when encountering such a thing?" "The old minister thinks that the matter of sending troops is handled by Mr. Gao. He is a minister of the border and knows the situation better than us. Now the court should have three things to do.  : First, quickly order the mobilization of the troops from Anxi and Shuofang to protect the Mongolian tribes, to prevent them from becoming thieves, so as to avoid the situation from escalating, and to strengthen the command of the Mongolian military, to control the full power of the troops, and to  The customs duties of Tianjin Customs were also handed over to him, and the arms manufacturing of the Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau was stepped up. Second, envoys were sent to Russia to find out the attitude of the Russians. Third, the reincarnation of the "Living Buddha" Jebu Zumba VII was quickly selected and prepared.  The matter of the next living Buddha!" ??After hearing Wang Qinian's words, Lin Wanqing and Jiang Qingyue behind the curtain couldn't help but nod secretly, admiring each other's foresight.  These three points all capture the crux of the matter. Mongolia is a vast country, and communication between various tribes is not easy, and the relationship is complicated. Although Kulun has fallen into the hands of the rebels, there must be many tribes in other places who are loyal to the court or are still wavering.  , as long as the imperial court can respond quickly and send troops to show its presence, these wavering tribes will fall to the side of the imperial court, which not only reduces the scope of the rebellion, but also reduces the strength of the rebels; the Russians are planning to invade Mongolia  It has been a long time, and it is very likely that their black hands are behind this incident. Sending envoys to understand the other party's intentions will undoubtedly be very beneficial to the next move.  As for the last one, after the death of "Living Buddha" Jebu Zumba VII, the next reincarnated Living Buddha will be the legitimate supreme ruler of Khalkha Mongolia. If you grab him first, you will undoubtedly have the upper hand morally.  .  As for the increase in money, food and arms, it goes without saying that the name was given. Obviously, Mr. Wang had already had plans in mind when he came.  "What your husband said is true, so let's do as you say. Wan Qing, Qing Yue, you two prepare to draft a decree!" Empress Dowager Deng nodded with satisfaction: "Tell Mr. Gao in the decree that you want toSend troops as soon as possible, lest the Russians get involved and things get into trouble!  " "The Queen Mother is wise!  " "Empress Dowager, I think I should send a minister to announce the decree to the Governor Gao.  Lin Wanqing smiled and said: "This is also the ancestral system of the imperial court!"  "    "Um!  "Empress Dowager Deng nodded without saying anything. She understood what Lin Wanqing meant. Since there are no eunuchs in Dashun, only female officers, there is no system for eunuchs to supervise the army. However, for a minister with high authority and in charge of heavy troops like Gao Tingyu,  The emperor was naturally a little worried, and would also send some trusted ministers as supervisors. This has been a way for emperors and ministers to live in peace throughout the ages. "Ms. Wang, what do you think?  "    "this!  "Wang Qinian hesitated in his heart: "The Queen Mother means to ask whether to send, or who to send?  He thought for a while but came up with no result, so he simply reconciled: "I am stupid, the Queen Mother will make the final decision on this matter!"  " Seeing the opponent kicking the ball back, Empress Dowager Deng was not a decisive woman. However, the late emperor passed away and the child was still young. She had no choice but to sit in this position. She couldn't help but hesitate. According to the past rules, she should send someone  The supervisor of the army was afraid that it would hinder Master Gao's use of troops. As he was thinking about it, Lin Wanqing on the side smiled and said: "Queen Mother, the imperial court has become old and withered over the years. It is better to send a capable young man to learn from Master Gao."  At this point, it can be regarded as a talent reserve for Your Majesty's future administration. I wonder what the Queen Mother thinks?  " Empress Dowager Deng was overjoyed when she heard this. She was worried that she couldn't find an excuse. Now Lin Wanqing found one for her. She couldn't help but be overjoyed and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, that's what the Lin family girl said!"  The Ai family is worried that Zhen'er will not have capable ministers after taking over the throne. It just so happens that they want to send them to have some experience at this opportunity, but they don't know if their sister has a candidate in mind?  " "Since the Queen Mother has inquired, I will boldly speak out!  Lin Wanqing said with a smile: "I think Mr. Chen Zaixing is pretty good. In terms of ability, he can handle matters in Burma with just one hand. Who among the younger generation in the court can match him?"  In terms of loyalty, he was doing well in business, but when he saw that the country was in trouble, he gave up everything and braved the hail of bullets and walked several times in the dense forest.  In my opinion, Master Chen, after training with Master Gao, must be another important minister of our Dashun Dynasty!  "    "Um!  Queen Mother Deng nodded and asked outside the curtain: "Ms. Wang, what do you think?"  "    "this!  "Wang Qinian lowered his head and thought, why did Lin Wanqing suddenly propose that Chen Zaixing go to Gao Tingyu to serve as a supervisor? For himself, it didn't matter. Anyway, he couldn't come up with other candidates for a while, so he might as well do it as a favor. He pondered for a moment,  Then he said in a deep voice: "Old minister seconded the proposal!  " "Well, it's Mr. Chen!  Empress Dowager Deng patted her knee: "Wan Qing, without further ado, you can draft the decree immediately!"  " "Yes, Queen Mother!  " The train was running on the rails, and every time the wheels passed the joints of the rails, it made a rhythmic clang. Chen Zaixing was sitting in the first-class compartment, and his mood was like the scenery passing quickly outside the window, changing drastically.  Originally, he had planned to stay in Hanking for a few more days, get to know more business people, and then return to Myanmar to take up the post to deal with borrowing money and building railways. However, he did not expect that this morning, an order came to him to observe the military appearance.  The envoy went to Yanshan Mansion in Beijing, which suddenly disrupted all his plans. "Resurrection!"  " Chen Zaixing raised his head, and the person opposite him was Kong Zhang. The reason for his appearance here is simple. Renyi Bank has a lot of business outside the Great Wall. Kong Zhang once stayed in Zhangjiakou for six full years as a representative of the bank. His experience and knowledge  It was very helpful to Chen Zaixing who had been staying in the south, so when Chen Zaixing learned that he was going to be sent to Yanshan Mansion, he immediately extended an invitation to him, and Kong Zhang readily accepted his invitation.  He sat down in front of Chen Zaixing and said with a smile: "This railway is really good. It used to take more than half a month to go from Hanking to Yanshan Prefecture, but now it only takes two days, and it's so comfortable."  Fusheng, I said, why do you want to build a railway in Myanmar? We, Dashun, have not used such a good thing yet?  " Chen Zaixing smiled slightly. This Han-Lu Railway basically coincides with the Ping-Han Railway in this time and space. Its name comes from Beijing's ancient name of Luyang. It is the first railway built by Dashun itself, connecting Han-Beijing and the largest town in the north -  - Yanshan Mansion, one of the Five Capitals, was opened to traffic just two years ago. This also shows that Dashun attaches great importance to the northern border defense. Kong Zhang saw Chen Zaixing and smiled without saying a word, and said anxiously: "Why are you laughing at Fusheng? Did I say that?"  Isn't it?  " "Mr. Kong, you are right, but there is one thing that cannot be compared with Myanmar. If I build roads there, I can control the minerals, timber, and food resources there. It is easy to raise a large amount of money, and  Without any restraint, things are different in China.  Let me ask you, if I want to build a railway from Hanking to Shanghai, what will happen to the boat gangs on the Yangtze River?  ¡±   "This -" Kong Zhang couldn't help but was stunned. The answer was obvious. If the Hanking-Shanghai railway is opened to traffic, many people in the Yangtze River shipping business who are engaged in passenger and freight transportation will definitely lose their jobs. Even if there are still, the profits will be huge.  For the sake of decline, these people will certainly strongly oppose the construction of this railway.
