Chapter seven hundred and fourteenth wave
The incident of Yang Meng gathering in the wedding banquet of governors from Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and Zhejiang provinces with foreigners spread throughout the Qing Dynasty in half a month. The 50 million taels of compensation, contract revisions, and missionary matters were not the focus, but the focus was on the place where the Russians wanted to cut off the Qing Dynasty's Longxing. This article was first published by...
Sushun’s news network is also remarkable. The first person to speak is not the governors and governors from all over the country, but the generals stationed in various places. The land of Longxing is the face of the Qing Dynasty. If you cut it out, is this Qing Dynasty still the Qing Dynasty?
Although most of the Eight Banners soldiers in various places became waste snacks, the garrison generals in various places were eager to fight on this matter. The governors of the three eastern provinces also revealed bad news. The Russian soldiers indeed appeared near the Xing'anling Mountains. Although they were small groups of people, it was not difficult to find the Russians' ambitions when compared with the news from Sushun. These foreign sects really took a fancy to the land of the Longxing of the Qing Dynasty.
"Bastard! He is really a bastard! Do these foreigners really think that I am easy to bully in the Qing Dynasty?
There is no gate for the Xing'anling Mountains!
Brother Yang San, too, why can't I say such a big thing? I actually asked Su Shun to pass on the message. I recognized Brother Yang's loyalty and courage. Master Peng sent an order to Brother Yang San, and said that I supported him and could speak out as much as possible if I had anything to say.
All the Russians have put forward such inappropriate thoughts. What kind of face do I have? Now I am not afraid of being embarrassed!
I informed Lifanyuan that all the barbarian affairs in the future will be viewed by Brother Yang San. The people in Lifanyuan are too stupid!"
Like the garrison generals in various places, the Sise Sticks are most concerned about in the situation in Longxing. Fortunately, Brother Yang San was a domineering person. Otherwise, the ministers below would say the wrong thing and strengthen the courage of the foreigners. The Sise Sticks would lose face more!
"Your Majesty, this matter is still to be considered. This time, Sushun connects the garrison generals in various places, which is not a good thing! This is somewhat of a coercive court.
The garrison generals in various places are naturally concerned about the inheritance of the country, but the governors and ministers in the court have not responded yet, so they are probably brewing a trend!
The source of this matter is elusive, and it is hard to say whether it was written by Yang Butang. It may be that Su Shun was the only one who did it. Although Yang Butang acted arrogantly, he was not as arrogant as Meng Lang!”
The purpose of attracting but not being released is large. For Peng Yunzhang, the garrison generals in various places have no impact on the court. What the court needs to guard against is the officials in the court.
Although the prime minister and imperial power have been fighting, the imperial power is the basis of prime minister. Without the imperial power, there will be no prime minister. Although prime minister has always wanted to suppress the imperial power. However, when encountering threats the imperial power, this prime minister is the best barrier to protect the imperial power.
Indignation among the masses. This is understandable, but the coercion of the court must be suppressed no matter what the purpose is. This time, there will be a next time. Such a thing must not be tolerated.
Peng Yunzhang was not sure whether Yang Meng was involved in this matter. What he was sure of was that the Qing court would rely on Yang Laosan in the near future to clarify the right and wrong for Yang Laosan, not because Peng Yunzhang was optimistic about Yang Laosan, but because Yang Laosan had to use it.
Peng Yunzhang's meaning is very simple, which is to suppress the royal family of Sushun and kill the chicken to warn the monkey. Once a trend is formed, the court will have to compromise, but if the compromise is compromise, this evil must be killed, otherwise the court officials will develop the habit of coercing the court.
"I and Master Peng are clear about the reason for this matter. Sushun did something about it. This matter should have been led by the court, but Sushun was in Guangzhou and had a clearer view on the matter. Sushun was worried about the court and acted as a result of Meng Lang.
Now the court is working on people, Master Peng is still more gentle."
As the emperor, the Four Color Sticks can understand this matter. The previous policy to foreigners was to compromise. The emperor and military aircraft nodded in the matter of compensation for land cedes. The behind-the-scenes plan should be Brother Yang San, and the starting point was also good, just for the Qing court.
Brother Yang San is a Jinliang in Jiahai, and Su Shun is a rare person in the royal family. He still attaches great importance to the Four-Color Sticks. Nowadays, there are few people who can use it. Peng Yunzhang's meaning is that the Four-Color Sticks are not that they cannot understand it, but that they have to pretend to be confused.
If the future of Yang San Ge and Sushun is damaged, no one will be available as the emperor. Looking at the court officials all over the royal family, the sixth brother, Prince Gong, Sushun, Prince Gong, and Prince Gong dare not make great use of it. Although Sushun is a close branch of the royal family, his status is not obvious and is the most useful.
Manchen, there are really no one available after counting it. How many skills do Manchuria and Mongolian officials who led the front line, such as Senggelinqin, Shengbao, Tuominga, and Hechun, have? Look at the battle situation clearly.
There are many Han officials who are available, including Luo Bingzhang, Hu Linyi, Hu Linyi, Hunan Governor Shen Baozhen, Hunan Governor Zeng Disheng, Chu Yong commander Zuo Jigao, Jiangsu and Zhejiang regiment training minister Feng Guifen, and a general Yang Sange, Luo Bingzhang, Hu Linyi, Shen Baozhen and others are good at political affairs and are not too good at military affairs. Zeng Zuo from Anhui and Jiangxi was extremely afraid of the court.
Feng Guifen, who has been newly promoted, also made small fuss in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. After counting, the only one who is the most loyal and capable of taking on major responsibilities is Yang San Ge.
He coerced the court and if this matter is serious, he would be searched and asked to be executed. Sushun, the four-color stick can be abandoned, but after giving up the generals of the state like Yang San Ge, the Qing Dynasty's country will probably be implicated!
"Your Majesty, then go with the flow! But once this is the case, I am afraid that there will be twists and turns in the Jiangnan bandit suppression!"
From the perspective of employing people, Peng Yunzhang thought that the emperor did a pretty good job, but from the perspective of the emperor, this emperor was a little weak. If he was to say it more seriously, that would be a coward!
This monarchy is monarchy, and no one can coerce. Whether it is a royal family or a general, as long as it touches this minefield, it should be more decisive. If the emperor becomes soft, the courtiers will think that the emperor is a weak and can be bullied. I am afraid that many people will use this so-called trend to talk about things from now on!
"If it really doesn't work, just use Brother Yang San again!"
It’s Brother Yang again, big events can be seen in people’s hearts. After listening to the emperor’s answer, Peng Yunzhang could only sigh in his heart. Only then can he discover that the emperor’s talent is limited. If it is King Gong…
"knew!"
He quickly interrupted some unrealistic thoughts in his mind. Peng Yunzhang responded, which was considered to be acknowledging the emperor's statement.
Brother Yang San, who is relied on by the four-color stick, is now enjoying himself in the pleasure boat in Lixiang Garden! This time he married Ma Qinglian and Yanru, which made Gu Yayue cold. If he wants to have the status of the Yang family, he has to wait! Although he is a concubine, as a concubine of the Yang family, he still has a high value.
"Yayue, you should be patient for a year or two. After we enter Beijing, you will be the first place..."
Pillowing in Yanru's arms, enjoying Ma Qinglian's service, Yang Meng apologized and said such a heartwarming sentence to Gu Yayue who was reading the official documents.
"It's enough to have the words of the Third Master. The sisters still take good care of Yayue, but Yayue has nothing to do, but I'm sorry to the Third Master."
"Hi! This matter... I will promise you all when I enter Beijing!"
Gu Yayue is infertile, and both Yang Meng and Gu Yayue understand the reason. I dare not say it, it’s hard to say it!
"I won't say this anymore, sir. How can I reply to Zeng Zuo's comment?"
"If they don't reply, they will naturally know what to do. Peng Yunzhang, Hu Linyi, and Shen Baozhen will let them be more stable for the time being and act according to their style!"
Using Sushun to incite the trend of coercing the court was also Yang Meng's risky move, aiming to cut off the court's desire for peace. Once the court takes serious action, Yang Meng can also escape with Sushun.
Zeng Disheng is different from Zuo Jigao. Zuo Jigao and Yang Meng can directly order him, but Zeng Disheng is an independent person. As a leader of scholars in the Qing Dynasty, if there are too many restrictions, it will affect his character, right?
Nowadays, the two governors and governors of Lianghu and Sichuan are all considered members of the Yang family faction. Although Yang Meng never had a close relationship with these three people, the three people in the court had the word Yang on their foreheads, and they were accomplices, and the three of them could not escape this word.
As for Ye Mingchen, he is just a slave! Wang Yide is just afraid of his power! In Jiangnan, Liangjiang's position is still in the hands of the bannermen. It would be great if he could change one.
Although Yang Meng did not reply to Zeng Disheng, Yang Meng made it clear that the disadvantages of free missionary and trade in the whole country were as follows: with these Zeng Disheng's comments, it would be meaningful.
Similar to the manifesto to suppress Changmao, protecting the country and protecting religion was still Zeng Disheng's main focus, cede land, paying 50 million taels of compensation, trading across the country, free missionary preaching, and envoys from various countries were stationed in Beijing, but none of them passed in Zeng Disheng's memorials.
Zeng Disheng's brilliant words all became conspiracies and tricks of the foreign barbarians' intention to destroy the Qing Dynasty. Perhaps the court officials' reactions from the outside Xing'an Mountains might not be too big, but Yang Meng changed the concept and turned the Outing Xing'an Mountains mentioned by Putiyatin into the Longxing Land of the Qing Dynasty. This time, the court officials also had reasons to flatter.
A saint is a lord, so you must not do anything to lose power and humiliate the country. The land of Longxing is related to the national system and to the ancestors' law. Zeng Disheng's revisions on protecting the country and protecting the religion are also a semi-proverb. Without waiting for the court to reply, many scholars in the court began to respond to Zeng Disheng's remarks on protecting the country and protecting the religion.
Sometimes, you can just think that trend is a nonsense. It’s good to pass it. However, the trend that the imperial officials and scholars who are the basic officials have to compromise even when faced by the emperor. The Qing Dynasty’s country has been in danger these years. Once the support of scholars is lost, the military situation is clear, and the emperor is also clear.
The bandits inside and the outside need to be suppressed. There are only eight words to say, but to do it, it requires a sea of gold and silver to pave it. Sushun’s Eight Banners New Camp was equipped with 3,000 foreign guns and twenty Western artillery. How much does it cost to carry ammunition with guns and cannons? No more or less, exactly one million taels of snowflakes!
According to Guangzhou, the British gathered 50,000 warships on Hong Kong Island, and had more than 50 warships. To deal with the British of this size, the imperial court would have to produce at least 100,000 people, and more were equipped with foreign guns and cannons.
Three thousand people are only one million taels. If 30,000 people are equipped, wouldn’t it cost ten million taels of snowflake silver? Today’s imperial court can only take out three to five million cash silver, and these three to five million can only be taken out by losing everything.
There are a lot of valuable things in the palace, but who dares to fight those things?
Scholars led by Zeng Disheng have created a tide of controversy, but they don’t do anything about war. How can they fight without money?
There is no way for military aircraft to do this. Yunnan has some Yunnan copper, but the difference is still huge. If you want to go to war inside and outside, the court must make another source of wealth. The military aircraft can only do this. The rest should be decided by the emperor. For some things, military aircraft do not want to take responsibility, such as increasing taxes on a large scale!
It is actually not too difficult to solve the problem of military expenditure. As long as the tax is increased, the Qing Dynasty had 40 million people, one person and one tael of silver, which would be 40 million! This account was also calculated by scholars, but the truth is not the case.
Under Yang Meng's arrival, the number of hungry refugees in Jiangnan was gradually decreasing, but this was not the case in the northwest, Henan, Shandong and Zhili areas. Years of war and famine have caused devastating blows on agriculture. One tael of silver may be able to buy half a scoop of grain in Jiangnan, but in the northwest, the price of a scoop of grain has risen to five taels of silver. The sons, daughters and wives of ordinary people, together, may be worth one tael of silver. It is not easy to increase taxes.
Regarding this matter, the Four Color Sticks are also simple to deal with. I ask Brother Yang San! (To be continued...)
