Shang Yi smiled and said: "Sheng Ming is exempted. My kindness is not to ignore the rebellion. Those who should be investigated should be investigated, those who should be controlled should be controlled, those who should be arrested should be arrested, and those who should be killed must not be lenient, but there is no need to Take the rebellion too seriously, let alone expand the scope of attack and involve some innocent people because of the rebellion, even if they are the old clan of the dynasty, because they cannot use it. "Although there is no rebellion, it is not without rebellion." To carry out such a crime as "intentional", this hole must not be opened. Again, as long as we do well and do it with excellence, we don't have to worry about anyone rebelling."
Wang Fuzhi gave a salute and said: "What the emperor said is absolutely true. I, the ministers, must obey the decree."
Shang Yi nodded and said, "Okay, let's draft a law."
Soon the cabinet announced the battle report of Liaodong, and Shangtai was victorious. It also spoke frankly about the so-called Prince Rui and the Grandson. First of all, it was determined that the identity of the Prince Rui and the Grandson was fake. The real heir of the former Prince Rui was in the process. A certain farm carried out labor reform, and then explained in detail how the fake Prince Rui's grandson appeared, and the differences in age and appearance from the real heir of the former Prince Qingrui, but he also truthfully admitted that this fake Prince Rui's grandson appeared The emperor's grandson has not caught him, but he also said that the government is actively tracing the whereabouts of this person and so on.
Because the information released was detailed and very reasonable, and it was admitted that the person had not been caught yet, so not only inside the customs, but also in most areas outside the customs, things have basically calmed down, although there are still rumors among the people. But except for a very small number of people, most people just regard this fake prince and grandson as an anecdote rather than a political signal.
And just a few days later, an official document was sent from Beijing. It was a letter jointly signed by members of the former Qing imperial family to the Nanjing cabinet, stating that Duoerbo was currently undergoing labor reform on the farm and had not fled to Liaodong. Participating in the rebellion also stated that the members of the original Qing royal family were very grateful to the new empire for their tolerance and had no second thoughts. They were willing to serve the people of the new empire forever and did not accept any thoughts of retreat. They were also very indignant about the rebellion in Liaodong. I hope that the imperial court can successfully suppress the rebellion as soon as possible.
Because the empire did not block the news of the Liaodong rebellion, the former members of the Qing royal family in the labor camp soon learned of the news from the newspapers. At the beginning, many people were quite excited, thinking that the Qing Dynasty There is hope for recovery, especially some young people, and they even hope that the rebels will come to Beijing as soon as possible to save themselves. Although everyone has adapted to work by now, after all, no one wants to stay here any longer. .
Fulin also had a lot of surprises, but he had been an emperor after all, and his knowledge was much better than others. On the one hand, he also hoped that the rebellion would succeed so that he could get out of trouble; but on the other hand, he also I am worried whether the rebels can resist the Chinese army. After all, the Qing Dynasty's million-strong army was no match for the Chinese army, not to mention that now the Chinese army has the entire world.
But at this moment, the former Empress Dowager Zhuang Da Yuer reminded Fulin not to think that the Liaodong rebellion was a good thing. Not to mention the probability of the rebellion succeeding, even if it succeeded in the end, the restoration of the Qing Dynasty would have no impact on the Manchus. It may be a good thing, but for Fulin, it is a disaster.
Fulin was of course puzzled, so he quickly asked his mother why.
Da Yuer then explained the reason, because now he is still under the control of the Chinese Empire, and the empire can control the life and death of his group of people at any time. If the rebellion succeeds, the Chinese Empire can execute his group of people first, and If the rebellion fails, our group will become a future trouble for the Chinese Empire. Normally, we would kill them all and never cause any further trouble. To put it another step back, even if the rebellion succeeds, our group will also be successfully rescued. But the Qing court at that time must have a new emperor, and Fulin was the last emperor of the former Qing Dynasty. The old emperor was still there, so how could the new emperor ascend the throne?
After listening to his mother's words, Fulin suddenly realized, and at the same time he broke into a cold sweat. Only then did he realize that no matter whether the rebellion was successful or not, he would have no results. At this time, Fulin's mind There was also a blank in my heart. I didn’t know what to do, so I could only ask my mother for help.
Da Yuer also sighed, and then told Fulin that he should quickly write to the Chinese Empire to express his loyalty and issue a statement condemning the rebels. Of course, the harsher the words, the better. Finally, Duo Er would spread the word. He spoke in person and pointed out that Prince Rui and the Crown Prince were fake, etc. Only in this way could he possibly save his life.
After getting this idea from his mother, Fulin felt a little relieved. At the same time, he had to admire his mother's political wisdom. This was indeed the only way at the moment. If this could not save his life, then he could only blame himself. I've been very unlucky.
So the very next day, Fulin immediately summoned the palace officials of the original Qing Dynasty, told them about his great achievements, and jointly wrote the letter.
Just ten days later, Fulin and others received an imperial edict from Shang Yi, praising the attitude of the former Qing palace personnel in the rebellion, and stating that as long as the former Qing palace personnel stayed safe and did not participate in any harm to the country, Even if things go wrong, China can guarantee their safety. At the same time, it also hopes that they will continue to accept reform and strive for early release, etc. A joint letter was published in the newspaper.
After Fulin and others received Shang Yi's imperial edict, they all breathed a sigh of relief, finally avoiding this disaster.
In fact, after receiving this joint letter, Shang Yi immediately understood Fulin's intentions. Although he knew that Fulin and others did this to protect themselves, this joint letter was helpful in stabilizing the current situation in Liaodong. It was also helpful to the rebellion, so since they showed kindness to themselves, of course they should reciprocate the favor and praise and appease the former Qing palace personnel. Everyone would get what they needed and everyone would be happy.
However, although the victory of Shangtai was achieved and the largest force among the rebels was defeated, it did not mean that the rebellion in Liaodong was over, because the big force was defeated, and there were still many small forces, some of which were separatist in villages. Some hid in the mountains and became bandits. Although their numbers were small, they were widely dispersed and posed a considerable threat to the security of Liaodong.
At this time, the weakness of the Shenyang Military Region's current lack of troops was fully exposed. Facing the scattered rebel army, it was quite helpless. Fortunately, the support troops from the Shandong Military Region finally arrived in Liaodong, and an early division arrived. When they arrived in Shenyang, Shenyang's military strength was doubled, so the Chinese army immediately divided its troops into twelve groups with the second company as a group, and went to quell the rebellion in each area.
This also greatly increased the effectiveness of quelling the rebellion. One month later, the rebels in each village were put down. Three months later, most of the rebels who had hidden in the mountains were put down. At this time, the Shenyang Military Region The troops also withdrew from Heilongjiang to Shenyang. The Chinese Army also had enough troops to protect the security of the Liaodong area. A year later, the Liaodong area.
But in any case, the situation in Liaodong has been brought under control, and Shang Yi is basically relieved. Moreover, the Sino-Russian war on the northeastern border has also ended. Although the Chinese army won the war and recovered the city of Nerchinsk , China's border has been expanded to the line of Lake Baikal, but for Shang Yi, this is not enough. The country's territory is of course better, and now the only place that can expand its territory on a large scale is the north.
In addition, from geostrategic considerations, the main threats to China in the future still come from the north and the south, and within two hundred years, the north will be better than the south. After all, the polar bear's paws can directly reach China. Now China has established an establishment in the South China Sea. It has created huge strategic depth, so it is also necessary to establish strategic depth areas in the north.
However, since the establishment of the empire four years ago, it has been constantly fighting. Although the country has enough financial support, it has consumed a lot of manpower and material resources. After all, money alone is not enough. It is equally important to have other food and materials. .
Now that the Chinese army has achieved victory in both the north and the south, China will maintain a basically peaceful situation in the next few years. Therefore, Shang Yi also determined that military operations will be temporarily suspended and the focus will be on economic construction. After all, China is in There are still many areas that need to be improved politically and a stable environment is needed, but the foreshadowing of war has already been laid at this time.
In the sixth year of Hongxian's reign (1655), the Russian envoy Bayikov arrived in Nanjing and negotiated peace with China. However, the conditions between the two sides were too different and the peace talks ended in vain. However, some Cossacks defected to China and moved to Lake Baiga. settle down.
In the ninth year of Hongxian's reign, the Chinese Empire completed the move of its capital to Beijing and began the Northern Expedition. In the tenth year, the Chinese army sent troops to the Northern Expedition, crossed the Xing'an Mountains, captured the city of Yakutsk, Russia's only settlement in the east, and conquered China. Its influence extends to the Arctic Ocean.
In the eleventh year of Hongxian's reign, the second Sino-Russian war broke out. The Chinese and Russian armies fought fiercely on the west bank of Lake Baikal. Both sides invested more than 50,000 troops. The Russian army was defeated by the Chinese army again, and China's territory expanded to Ob. Upstream of the river.
In the 20th year of Hongxian's reign, China once again sent troops to provoke the third Sino-Russian War. One hundred thousand Russian troops were annihilated by China. They were forced to negotiate peace with China and recognized the territory east and south of the Lena River and east of the upper reaches of the Ob River. The area is China's territory.
The peace talks lasted for twenty years, and then the two sides fought for nearly fifty years on the vast Siberian plains. A total of five Sino-Russian wars were fought. The two sides won two, lost two, and drew one. However, this At that time in western Europe, with the birth of Napoleon and the rise of France, Russia fell into a situation of being enemies on both sides. It could only sign a contract with China again. The two sides used the Yenisei River as the boundary to divide the territory of China and Russia. The Sino-Russian war that lasted for nearly a hundred years was completed. Finish,
