Chapter 366 Your Majesty, the slaves must defend the Qing Dynasty to the death! (Please vote, please order)
"It's Lan'er, come in quickly!"
Hearing Concubine Yi's voice, Xianfeng finally put down the book he had been reading for almost an hour, forced a smile, and told Ande Hai next to him: "Ande Hai, pass the meal!"
"twitter."
When An Dehai went to arrange the meal delivery, Concubine Yi had already led a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old with a round face, big eyes, small nose, and white skin into Xianfeng's study in Haiyan Hall.
This girl was wearing a blue embroidered flag dress, a big wavy hairstyle, and flower pot-bottom high heels, which made her originally petite figure look much taller, and she also looked swaying and elegant when she walked.
, it has such a fairy spirit that Xianfeng is even a little greedy after seeing it.
Although this graceful appearance is only average to above average, which can be considered cute, but not beautiful enough, the quality of Emperor Xianfeng's harem is worrying - their Manchu royal family has a population of only a few dozen for more than two hundred years.
Millions of Eight Flags people are beautiful
Female, beauty seedlings were plucked out by the late emperors of Xianfeng before they had time to reproduce. By the time it was passed down to his generation, Concubine Yi was already considered extremely outstanding. Wanzhen, who was obviously prettier than Concubine Yi, was not just a beauty.
Embryo?
Isn't it a pity to send such a beautiful woman to be Luo Xueyan's wife...\n.\nXianfeng even regretted it.
"Narawanzhen respectfully wishes His Majesty's blessing."
Wanzhen's timid voice of greeting had already sounded.
Xianfeng was in a daze, and his thoughts had returned to reality - he was Emperor Xianfeng who loved the country more than beauty!
"Get flat." Xianfeng looked at Wanzhen and said with a smile.
When Wanzhen stood up, she also looked at Xianfeng furtively - he was numb, thin, and had a smoky look on his face. Is this the emperor of the Qing Dynasty? Can he beat Changmao like this?
She was still a little reluctant to "marry" Luo Xueyan. Even though Rong Lu came to her house and told her how beautiful Luo Xueyan was and how he was young and rich, she was still a little reluctant.
No matter how good Luo Xueyan is, can he be better than the emperor of the Qing Dynasty?
But now I can see the emperor's true appearance.\n.::.\n.\nIt seems that Luo Xueyan's appearance is probably better than that of the emperor.
Xianfeng didn't know that he had been despised by the little beauty in front of him, and he still felt sorry for her...\n.\n.\n.\n. He originally had a chance to enter the palace, but now he can only go to Shanghai
Become the governor's wife.
Thinking of this, Xianfeng comforted her with gentle words: "Wanzhen, this time you have to marry far away and go to Shanghai, which is really a bit wronged."
It turns out that Wanzhen came to say goodbye to Xianfeng today.
Luo Xueyan's bride-welcoming envoy Weng Tongdu has been in Beijing for some time. With the help of Weng Xincun, the etiquette of accepting gifts, asking for names, accepting gifts, accepting invitations, and applying for dates have all been properly carried out, and the betrothal gift has already been carried by dozens of carriages.
After that, the Nala family’s house was almost packed. Now it’s time to “welcome”!
Of course, it is impossible for Luo Xueyan to come to Beijing to welcome him in person, so this matter still needs to be represented by Lao Wengtong.
In addition, because this marriage is a gift marriage, Ronglu has to go to Jiangnan again to be a send-off messenger.
But this time we couldn't attack Yang Xiuqing. Hong Xiuquan's territory had been passed, so we had to go to sea from Tianjin and take a big ship south.
The ship was chartered by Luo Xueyan. The new second-hand 2,000-ton "giant ship" purchased by Qichang Yangxing Company was named "Jili" and was already waiting at Dagukou Pier.
So Wanzhen had to set off south.
And Xianfeng asked Concubine Yi to bring Wanzhen to say goodbye, and to say a few words to win over her, so that the little girl would not feel aggrieved. "No," Wanzhen secretly glanced at Xianfeng again, feeling that she was not aggrieved at all.
, and then he held his fists and spoke about the situation: "Now that our Qing Dynasty has encountered a bumpy road, we must work together to tide over the difficulties together.
Although the emperor and his disciples from the Eight Banners went to fight with those long-haired men, they would definitely win, but if I, a little girl, can do my best, I should also be bound to do it. If I have any strength, I will use my strength.
When I get to the south and get married to Luo Xueyan, I will definitely urge him to march to Jiangning as soon as possible, and cooperate with our Eight Banners' new army foreign gun team to kill all the long hairs!"
Xianfeng was stunned for a moment: "Wanzhen, you are quite good at speaking for a little person. Your sister taught you, right?"
Wanzhen shook her little head: "No, to report back to the emperor, all the young and old men in Sijiu City say so now."
"Oh?" Xianfeng was stunned again, "Are the Eight Banners disciples in Beijing so excited now?"
Wanzhen nodded: "Isn't that right? I heard from those old and young men that fighting with bows and horses is no longer a matter of skill. It doesn't matter if the men living in the city don't have the opportunity to ride horses. As long as they can fire foreign guns, they can help.
Follow the emperor's long hair!
Those foreign guns are very powerful. If they can be lined up and fired together, the power will be even greater. A burst of gunfire can knock down all the long hairs on the opposite side. Your Majesty, are they right?"
"This... seems to be correct."
Xianfeng frowned slightly.
This theory is similar to what Wo Ren and Weng Xiancun said in their letters.
Moreover, judging from Xianfeng’s own experience, it seems to be correct!
Xianfeng was good at shooting foreign guns, and his marksmanship was quite accurate. Anyway, it was much better than his ability in horseback riding and archery!
If you ask him to ride a horse and shoot arrows with a smoker, ten of them plus one can't beat Prince Gong, and a hundred plus one can't beat Seng Gelinqin. But if you want to shoot a foreign gun...\n::..\n
He is no worse than Prince Gong or Seng Gelinqin.
No matter how high your martial arts skills are, you can still shoot him away with one shot!
Thinking of this, Xianfeng already felt that the idea of ​​the Eight Banners New Army was not impossible...
Wanzhen said with a smile at this time: "I also heard that these days, there are Eight Banners disciples joining the army outside Wanping Camp every day to carry guns to defend the Qing Dynasty!"
"Really?" When Xianfeng heard this, he was moved in his heart!
This is...\nOne of our own!
Beijing inner city.
Since more than 200 years ago, Dorgon led the Eight Banners soldiers and saw the opportunity that Li Zicheng had just entered Beijing and had not yet established a stable foothold, and took advantage of Wu Sangui's opportunity to lure the wolf into the house to do a big job and determined Beijing in one fell swoop, this area in the inner city of Beijing
, it becomes eight
The home of the Banner Brothers. Hundreds of thousands of old Beijingers from the Ming Dynasty who originally lived here for generations all left the city to freeze to death and starve to death.\n.\n.\n.\n.\n. The good things about Beijing's inner city
The houses and the household registrations all belonged to the bannermen who moved from outside the customs.
Along with a good house and a good household registration, there are hard-core crops that should be endless for generations to come, and most of the country in the Qing Dynasty officialdom - the cake in the Qing Dynasty officialdom is not big to begin with, and the Eight Banners disciples can cut it away with one knife.
at least two-thirds
!The share left for Han officials is not much. As a result, most Han officials still have to borrow "official loans". Even if they have passed the three consecutive examinations, as long as they cannot reach the level of Hanlin, they usually have to spend money."
"Renting an official", if you don't have money, you have to borrow...\n
And through the high-level financial operation of "renting official loans", the Eight Banners disciples among the 49% were able to take away a large sum of money that the Han officials had worked hard to embezzle.
The Qing Dynasty, at least in terms of money, really didn't treat those Eight Banners disciples badly.
However, this kind of good life for generations seems to be coming to an end recently!
First of all, half of the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty will be lost!
Half of the country is almost gone, and the cake in the officialdom is naturally half smaller! It is said that Hong Xiuquan’s Eight Banners disciples cannot go, and even Luo Xueyan, Zuo Zongtang, and Zeng Guofan have no seats for Eight Banners disciples...\n...\
n.\nEven if Zeng Guofan bears the name of Zeng Jia. Guofan, there are not many seats available for the Eight Banners disciples.
After all, Zeng Guofan's regiment training followed the path of soldiers becoming generals, relying on the interpersonal network of clan, township party, teachers and students, and in-laws to form a bottom-up dependence relationship. How could a group of men from Beijing get involved?
As for Luo Xueyan, Zuo Zongtang, and Jiang Zhongyuan, they did not leave any seats to the Eight Banners disciples. They also drove away all the bannermen in the territories and yamen controlled by them.
At the same time that half of the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty was lost, "renting official loans" also began to explode!
Regardless of whether all the provinces in the south that were invaded by the Taiping Army were lost, the Han officials who had borrowed the debt from the King of Hell were all damned dead! These people either "disappeared from the officialdom" and were gone! Or they surrendered and had soldiers in their hands.
The commander-in-chief just won’t pay it back! Or just organize some group training, even if there are only three to five hundred people, it’s not enough to fight long hair, and defaulting on the debt is enough.
Therefore, throughout the three years of Xianfeng, the Eight Banners disciples in Sijiu City were in bad luck from top to bottom!
They finally made it to the fourth year of Xianfeng's reign. They thought they could change their luck, but they didn't expect that they would meet the biggest villain!
Mr. Xianfeng himself wants to be a poor man, and he wants to waste all the hard-core crops that can only make a living.
In order to default on his debt, the emperor also colluded with Han military leaders such as Zeng Guofan, Luo Xueyan, Zuo Zongtang, and Jiang Zhongyuan. While selling them their official hats as feudal officials, he instigated them to write letters to invite the Eight Banners soldiers to go south...
Are you treating the Eight Banners men as fools?
Why do those Han warlords need the Eight Banners soldiers? This is not the early Qing Dynasty. Those "loyal ministers" from two dynasties and three dynasties want to ask the real Manchuria for help if they can't defeat the peasant army.
Now if we want to go to real Manchuria, the war that could have been fought will have to collapse...\n.\n·.\n.\nIsn't Changsha just lost? Isn't the Jiangbei camp just lost? Luo Xueyan doesn't have any men
He is an Eight Banners soldier, so Shanghai is doing well until now.
Xianfeng, the old man, clearly wanted to use those Han military leaders to "recruit troops" and force them to become deserters.
As long as the men in the Forty-Nine City become cowardly, then they will have reason to lay off everyone's hard-core crops.
This is obviously to deceive everyone into thinking they are fools!
Fortunately, there is a Japanese master who pointed out the way for everyone...:::. Also go to the south to be a "real Manchuria", and go to the Wanping New Army Camp to serve as a soldier!
The Qing Dynasty was clearly training its troops on the doorstep of Beijing, so why not let serious Eight Banners soldiers enter the camp?
What kind of Seng Gelinqin...\n:::.Which flag does he belong to? What is his last name? Why are you so bullying?
How can the banner men in Beijing be easy to deal with? Originally, they didn’t know how to fight the emperor.
Now someone finally pointed the way. So what else is there to say? Anyway, they have nothing to do, so they go to Wanping Camp every now and then!
Therefore, outside the yamen of Seng Gelinqin’s Military Training Minister, every day there was a sea of ​​people who wanted to join the army!
Chapter completed!
