Chapter 200: Russia Succeeds
Su Shun frowned and advised: "The emperor is a body of gold. How can he deal with foreigners or the numerology vassal academy negotiate with others, and then report it to the ruling."
Xianfeng was in a state of interest, how could he change his mind because of a word? He said persistently: "I heard that Li Yunzhong, a pseudo-Han, talked with foreigners several times, and foreigners cut off relations with the Qing Dynasty. Now I also make foreigners pay attention to it.
Why do you think I am not as good as Li Yunzhong?"
"I don't dare!"
"Go and prepare!"
After Xianfeng finished lunch in the Summer Palace, he became restless and didn't know how to talk to foreigners later. Is this group of foreigners as golden and blue eyes as the legendary ones, and their breasts will be exposed.
"Your Majesty, why are you worried about political affairs?" Yehenara, the future Empress Dowager Cixi, stepped forward and asked.
Xianfeng patted the beautiful woman's jade hand and said, "Lan'er, I will meet the Russian envoy later. What do you think I should say?"
Yehenara frowned and advised in a sweet voice: "Why should the emperor praise foreigners? Just order someone to send him a small envoy to him."
Xianfeng stood up, looked shy and said in a low voice: "I... the Qing Dynasty also asked others for help. The governor and governor of the front several times submitted requests to purchase foreign guns and cannons, but the damn foreigners actually colluded with the fake Han Dynasty and refused.
If you sell any firearms to the Qing Dynasty, foreigners are coming to your door now, how can I not pay attention to it?"
Yehenara thought for a while and replied solemnly: "It is rare in the world that the emperor is worried about the country and the people. Unfortunately, the frontline officials do not understand the emperor's efforts. If the thief does not have the ability to grow hair and short hair is rampant."
Xianfeng smiled with relief. The beloved person was able to understand himself, which made him feel much more comfortable.
Yehenara took Xianfeng down and whispered: "I have a way to make foreigners willingly sell a batch of foreign guns to the Qing Dynasty!"
Xianfeng was surprised and happy, grabbed Yehenara's hand and asked, "What's the solution for Lan'er? Tell me quickly!"
Yehenara pretended to be in pain and whispered: "I feel so painful. Your Majesty, you have hurt me."
Xianfeng was even more happy and thought to himself that my health was not bad. With a random pinch, Lan'er would feel so painful.
Yehenara replied: "In recent years, the Russians have occupied many territories of the Qing Dynasty, especially Mongolia and the northeast. It can be seen that their wolf ambitions are. If the emperor promised them to give them some land in exchange, foreigners will be happy and buy foreign guns.
It's much easier."
Xianfeng nodded and shook his head again. He didn't care about that little land. The Qing Dynasty's territory was occupied by long hair and short hair. Compared with foreigners, it was only a drop in the bucket.
"I am worried that all the civil and military ministers in the court will oppose it. When the cedes Hong Kong Island, there will be minister **Qi Shan**. Russia has a very big appetite. Wouldn't the ministers turn the world up?"
Yehenara whispered in Xianfeng's ear: "The emperor has negotiated with foreigners and can order Heilongjiang General Yishan to sign a treaty with foreigners. If any minister objected, he can temporarily remove Yishan from his post. When the storm subsides, he will compensate him well.
”
The beauty exhaled like orchid, Xianfeng's ears were itchy, and his heart was even more pretending, and he got the right mind, and his worries disappeared, and he became more interested in his body and mind. He picked up Yehenara and walked into the inner room, and smiled and said, "Lan'er
I should reward you well if you make great contributions!"
Yehenara also developed a heart of pride and smiled: "I thanked the emperor for his reward!"
Petrov looked at Xianfeng boldly. Seeing that he was in his twenties, his face was as pale as snow and his body was thin, he wondered, China was rich in land and prosperous in culture, why did the lord of a country look like this?
"Cough cough" Su Shun was very angry when he saw the foreigners being rude and reminded him: "The special envoy would not be polite to meet the emperor!"
When Pirowsky heard this, he immediately bowed and said in half-baked official words: "Perowsky, the special envoy of the Governor of East and West Siberia of the Russian Empire, met His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. I wish His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty long live His Majesty."
The translator told me that the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty would be happy when he heard the following words. I wonder if he had lie to me.
The foreigners did not kneel down to him. Xianfeng was displeased at first, but then heard the strange congratulations, and then became excited. His stern face showed a smile, and his right hand raised his face, saying, "The special envoy does not need to be too polite. I heard that the special envoy was
A batch of foreign guns was presented to solve my urgent needs. I would like to thank the special envoy for thanking me."
Pirowsky smiled and said, "This is just a little bit of a small meaning. Our country has too many foreign guns and can't use them all. If the emperor still wants them, I can make the decision to sell them to the emperor."
Xianfeng didn't expect that he would get what he wanted so easily, so he said happily: "The special envoy is reasonable and I am very happy. Haha, someone will give him a jade Ruyi!"
After a while, An Dehai held a brocade box in his hand, and there was a jade Ruyi with a flashing glowing light on it.
Pirowsky swallowed, stared at Yu Ruyi with his eyes. After reacting, he immediately took the brocade box and thanked him: "Thank you for the reward of the Qing Emperor. Governor General has another thing to tell me to tell His Majesty the Emperor."
Xianfeng asked, "Please speak with the special envoy!"
Pirowsky shouted: "It has been hundreds of years since Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty signed the Treaty of Nibchu with our country. The borders of the two countries have long been blurred. The Governor wanted to re-dividate the borders of the two countries with His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty."
Xianfeng was at a loss. Foreigners said that the boundaries were blurred, which was clearly an excuse. He must have had a plan to demarcate the new boundaries. He originally planned to give them a few acres of land to send them away, but he did not expect that the foreigners were so ambitious.
Sushun immediately refused righteously: "The border between the Qing Dynasty and Russia has been followed in accordance with the agreement of the Treaty of Nebchu, and has not changed for hundreds of decades. If Zhaoer and others have discussed it, it will be difficult to accommodate and allow it."
Seeing the emperor above, Pirowsky looked even more contemptuous and said proudly: "My Russian citizen has settled north of Heilongjiang and east of Ussuri River. The land there should be my Russian Empire. If the Emperor of Qing Dynasty
If you don’t agree, the Governor will not allow the sale of foreign guns. Please think twice about His Majesty the Emperor.”
Ruihua smiled and said, "The special envoy does not have to be angry. You should go back to the Lifan Court to rest first. This matter is of great importance. We need to discuss it carefully before we can decide."
Perowsky secretly said that it was worthwhile to get the treasure in his arms. He heard that when he returned to his country, he would give it to him and he would never annoy them.
"I hope you will reply to me Mingyue, and the Governor is still waiting for my news."
Seeing that the emperor's face was gloomy and calm, Sushun hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty think twice, the northeast is the place where my Qing Dynasty dragon rises. How can foreigners be occupied? Why compromise with foreigners for a few foreign guns?"
He has been proud in the past few months. Xianfeng promoted him to the Minister of Revenue. He immediately used an iron-fisted policy to rectify the Ministry of Revenue. He was merciless and untrusted. He killed a group of big corruption and imprisoned a group of small corruption. All the civil and military officials of the court treated him.
Awesome.
Ruihua looked at his angry younger brother, worried that he would anger the emperor and lose his favor, so he deliberately attacked: "This is a bad saying. Short hair occupies several provinces, and the harm is a hundred times greater than that of the Russians. Our top priority is to wipe out short hair.
Mao, the Russians agree to the request for the time being. Besides, it is no longer a bad thing to get along with foreigners. When the time is right, you can use troops to attack short hair and long hair. Such a Qing Dynasty revival is about to be called."
Su Shun gasped and said in a shocking voice: "The Qing Dynasty fought with the army, and it was a war between our own people. Just like brothers fighting for family property, they solved it themselves behind closed doors. Why collude with outsiders? We are all Chinese, even if it's cheap.
A big man cannot be cheaper than a foreigner.”
Ruihua was stunned by his words, his face turned red. He was angry that Sushun did not give him face, but that he was worried that he would anger the emperor and implicate him.
Several military ministers in the hall looked at each other, and they all closed their mouths with tactfulness, as if they were blinded by the eyes, their eyes narrowed against Xianfeng, waiting for the thunderous anger.
Xianfeng did not intend to blame Sushun. Since Sushun managed the Ministry of Revenue, the Qing Dynasty's finances have greatly improved. He no longer has to drag the front-line military pay, and the cost in the palace has been saved again and again. The salary paid by the state to the Eight Banners was also used by him.
The most important thing is that he has taken away all his reputation. Xianfeng is also a kind and good emperor.
Su Shun said: "You can't beat the big man, and you can't retreat outside the pass. The foreigners' ambitions must not be tolerated."
Xianfeng made up his mind to hide this matter from Sushun, and said with a smile: "Sushun's loyalty, I understand, let's forget about this matter, but the ruthless words you just said will greatly damage the prestige of the Qing Dynasty, so I will be fined.
Half a year, use punishment!”
Su Shun bowed and said, "I thank the Lord for your kindness."
After the ministers dispersed, Xianfeng summoned Ruihua alone.
Ruihua bowed and waited for instructions. He vaguely understood why the emperor asked him to come back. Only the Han people could understand Sushun's idea. Only those who are authentic and full of people would not care about the brothers' division and collude with outsiders.
Xianfeng asked: "What do you think of the requirements of foreigners?"
Ruihua replied: "The slave is willing to obey the emperor's instructions. The emperor means the slave. What the emperor calls the slave to do, the slave will do whatever he calls him!"
Xian ** nodded intentionally. Although he had known that Ruihua and others were incompetent, he still put him in a high position. This is the reason: "I think short hair is the problem of being a confidant. Henan and Shandong are mostly invaded, and Hunan Zeng Guofan arrives.
He received a victory in a few days, but when I asked him to go north to serve the king, he pushed him to the death, saying that this place was in danger and that it was surrounded by short hair, and I didn’t expect him anymore. As long as he could defend Huguang, I would be content!"
Ruihua said: "If Zeng Guofan can understand the emperor's hard work, he will be ashamed."
Xianfeng waved his hand and asked the palace maids and eunuchs in the room to withdraw, and said explicitly: "The Russians' conditions are not unanimous. Heilongjiang General Yishan Duke is loyal to the country. He can let him discuss the border with foreigners. You tell me what I mean.
The foreign envoy asked him to sell a batch of foreign guns as soon as possible."
Ruihua said: "I understand, please rest assured!"
Xianfeng paused and said, "The Governor of Huguang is extremely incompetent. I plan to replace him. Who do you think is suitable?"
Ruihua was overjoyed. This was the benefit of the emperor. He could not refuse or recommend his confidant immediately. Otherwise, the emperor would not be happy and he would not recommend those opponents, so as not to lose his wife and lose his troops. By the way, I would recommend Zeng Guofan first.
I have to show off in front of the emperor.
After thinking for a while, Ruihua replied: "Anhui Governor Zeng Guofan is good at fighting and can take on this responsibility."
Xianfeng immediately shook his head and said, "I have already planned to promote him to Governor General of Liangjiang. This Governor General of Huguang should be replaced by someone else."
Ruihua's smug smile flashed by and continued: "Hubei Governor Hu Linyi can take on this responsibility."
Xianfeng looked directly at Ruihua and said, "Hu Linyi Dingyou, I plan to issue an order to let him seize the love and govern the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou."
Ruihua spoke out the candidate who liked and said, "Xu Liang, the Minister of Rites, and the Han army's Huangqin Banner, are loyal and brave. What does the emperor think?"
