That kind of sneak attack without warning is the habit of grassland people looting, which is not enough in a small family.
Wen Yuan, they had long wanted to tell the Taiping rebels that they would always hit you, and then led the army to push it over. I heard that the Ministry of War was going to the North Expedition, and a bunch of their officers were all red-faced in the Ministry of War, and they all wanted to lead the troops to a duel. They argued with each other and asked for an emperor to judge, as if the emperor could meet people’s requirements.
However, the emperor did refuse to see them. The emperor said that the military affairs were presided over by the Ministry of War, and the emperor did not listen to the military affairs until the first world war.
Are you really indifferent? Of course not. Chen Zhiting has already reported the original plan to the emperor with the Ministry of War, and all the plans have been signed and sealed by Zhu Jinglun. This is also a common practice in other countries. Without the order of the Queen of England, the British army can’t take action in the procedure. The Prime Minister said that the British royal family gave up these forces. They never refuted the decision of the Prime Minister and the government
Whether it is true or false is not necessarily the root of procedures or legal provisions. People come out with a national constitution, but it is still impossible to restrict the rulers from arbitrarily dissatisfied. Changing the constitution is like playing, so the same ruling procedure in Britain may be virtual, but it may be real.
The officers I didn’t see didn’t want to leave them one who could throw aside the decision of the civilian government at any time through the intervention of the emperor. What’s the difference between that and the Japanese War Department?
Even if the decision is made by Zhu Jinglun, it must be implemented through the Ministry of War in the end.
The plan of the General Staff Department is that if the target of the war is Zhejiang, there is no need for general mobilization. Fujian Military Region has enough soldiers to cope with it. Fujian is a populous province. The military region has a standing establishment of 10,000 people, which is as much as Guangdong’s reserve force. Guangdong has 100,000 Fujian, but there are also 70,000 people mobilized, which means that 150,000 troops are enough to attack Zhejiang.
As far as the military is concerned, Zhejiang is relatively easy to capture, because the defense focus of Taiping rebels is ultimately on the Yangtze River, so Zhejiang is relatively empty. In addition, because the main forces of Xiang and Taiping rebels are mainly along the Yangtze River, Huizhou Prefecture in southern Anhui and Guangde Prefecture in Ningguo Prefecture are not valued by both sides, it is relatively easy to attack here from Jiangxi.
The company commanders of Fujian Military Region must be in charge of this war. The old black dog is the first company commander of Guangdong Military Region and the second company commander of Fujian Military Region. It is Deng Shicai who is precisely these two men who are not fighting. On the contrary, Zhang Shan and Chen Jishi in other military regions are fighting.
The black dog has already set himself the position of loyal dog, so he should be successful and retire from consciousness. This is what Fangshan told him and warned him that there are too many things in history that can’t end well. I hope he will be careful. The black dog is very satisfied with his position, so he has kept a low profile in recent years and has no other bad habits except liking to marry a little wife and have children. A gang leader can even quit opium addiction. It would be strange if he doesn’t have super self-control
However, Deng Shicai didn’t fight for it, which made people a little surprised. Some of them didn’t conform to his youthful nature. Of course, it is also possible that he is very sure that he will go to the Northern Expedition. Therefore, the Fujian Military Region will not fight for it.
In this first battle, Deng Shicai led the standing and reserve troops of Fujian Military Region to carry out the 150,000 troops. The standing soldiers of Jiangxi Military Region where Chen Jishi is located should be prepared to tie the army to the border of Jiangxi and Anhui, ready to capture the rest of the military regions in southern Anhui, and no action is allowed.
The main reason why the troops of Guangdong and Guangxi are not allowed to prepare for the war is that the young people who are eager to fight will lose control of their emotions and take the initiative to stir up trouble on the Hunan border, eventually turning the war into a scuffle with Taiping rebels and Xiang troops
Fujian Military Region moved quickly, and almost immediately after the completion of the knot, it broke into Zhejiang, and the Taiping Army even noticed that when they noticed it, the army had arrived at the city.
At this time, Li Xiucheng transferred the elite troops of Taiping rebels, which were not much in Zhejiang, to Tianjing, and his main force was a big victory. He wanted to keep Xiang out of Tianjing, and Tianjing could no longer withstand a siege.
Xiang’s fighting wind is tenacious. Li Xiucheng launched many attacks and was repelled by Xiang. Xiang approached and won the Taiping rebels step by step. It was really very empty to gather in other places in Tianjing a little bit.
Therefore, the army was in full swing, and without any decent resistance, it quickly occupied the three southern Zhejiang provinces, Wenzhou, Chuzhou and Taizhou. At the same time, 20,000 people cooperated with the navy to quickly strengthen the defense of Ningbo and the sea concession, fearing that the Taiping Army would attack Ningbo and the sea in anger.
At the same time, Chen Jishi sent 30,000 troops into Huizhou, and through the influence of Jiangxi business gangs, Huizhou has already infiltrated. The local princes are all pampered and used to the rich. Where are the businessmen willing to work hard with the army to bridge the gap? After the army ensured their lives and property, Huizhou government also took it easily.
However, it’s hard to fight Ningguo Mansion, because it’s going to cross Huizhou by land, and the famous Huangshan Mountain is also a famous tea-producing area. But at this time, it’s time to fight with Xiang. If the army doesn’t call these places first, it will have to fight another battle with Xiang if it wants to.
At this time, Li Xiucheng, who was bent on a decisive battle with Xiang, suddenly went crazy and cursed the treachery, but at this time, a large number of big businessmen were attacked by the seedlings. At this time, the war was making a fortune in the area, and the businessmen were suddenly arrested and entered other places in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom prison, including the big businessman Su Hu in Haixian County. There were many big businessmen in Li Xiucheng, where the strength was weak, but it was easy to arrest a few businessmen. Soon, more than 2,000 businessmen were arrested.
However, after a fire, Li Xiucheng quickly calmed down. He choked back his breath and patiently wrote a letter to Zhu Jinglun, acknowledging for the first time the kindness of rescuing Tianjing in the previous year, saying that there was no danger of collapse before the great rescue of heaven in that year.
Then, I reviewed that harmony with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in recent years is a model of diplomatic relations. Now, there must be a reason for the attack. Li Xiucheng said that if there is any misunderstanding, please tell the Heavenly Kingdom that it will be reformed and encouraged
It’s really bad that Li Xiucheng, who is nine years old for so many years, has put such a low profile on the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
Zhu Jinglun replied to this letter, in which he expressed regret. He told Li Xiucheng that it was not a big breach of faith, but the situation made it necessary to avoid the loss of life in Zhejiang. The army planned to enter this area in the hope of ensuring the safety of one side and was really worried about the current situation in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and advised Li Xiucheng not to take risks easily and wait for the loyal king at any time when it was really impossible.
Finally, the big businessman who was arrested by Taiping rebels told Li Xiucheng that the two countries might have broken their own path by fighting to kill several businessmen in order to make up for the overall situation, that is, advising and threatening, and I don’t know if Li Xiucheng could listen.
As a result, Li Xiucheng did release some businessmen, but they were all businessmen who could send war materials to Taiping rebels at this unfavorable time. Those businessmen continued, but they didn’t kill them, and they were raised in the prison.
Li Xiucheng wrote a letter to Zhu Jinglun, and Zeng Guofan soon wrote a letter to Zhu Jinglun. Li Xiucheng’s letter hoped to reconcile Zeng Guofan’s letter and discussed it.
Zeng Guofan discussed with Zhu Jinglun that since the two sides should agree on the composition of the invasion, Zeng Guofan expressed his willingness to accept the invasion of Zhejiang and the Qing Dynasty recovered Anhui and Jiangsu
This time, Zhu Jinglun did not write back to Zeng Guofan, but sent a newspaper telling Zeng Guofan that if the two countries want to sign a convention, they should send envoys, so the envoys of the Qing Dynasty came soon.
An old acquaintance, Bai Gui, who Zhu Jinglun hasn’t seen for a long time and should have died long ago, is here!
Section six hundred and twenty-two Baigui nostalgia
Zhu Jinglun greeted Baigui with a high standard, which is in line with nature, because in everyone’s view, if it hadn’t been for Baigui in those days, Zhu Jinglun wouldn’t have existed, and today, because of this, Baigui has been working in the Prime Minister’s yamen for a long time, but he has been idle at home and has long since stopped asking about political affairs.
When Bai Gui’s ship stopped at Tianwharf, it was surrounded by security soldiers. Wen Yuan, the general commander of the Capital Military Region, personally came to meet the loess and spread it from the wharf to the city gate.
Bai Gui’s feet won’t stick to these loess because he can’t walk. He came to the Qing Dynasty with a sedan chair on the boat, so officials should pay attention to being decent and not lose their identity wherever they go. That is an important event that is humiliating to the country.
Zhu Jinglun didn’t meet him at the dock, but he was waiting for the Grand Palace in front of the palace. In the past, the governors of Guangdong and Guangxi ran through the north and south of the new city, facing the south wall of the old city and facing the new city wall in the south.
Bai Gui car just stopped in front of the palace and saw Zhu Jinglun wearing an ordinary old robe. Bai Gui suddenly looked familiar. Isn’t that what Zhu Jinglun wore before he became an official?
Baigui couldn’t help feeling that Zhu Jinglun was a civilian and he was your governor. Now Zhu Jinglun is the emperor, but he is the city where everyone shouts and beats the officer.
But Bai Gui knows what he is doing here. If he doesn’t feel sad, he will kneel and kowtow.
"Foreign ministers see the great emperor!"
Zhu Jinglun sprang to help Baigui up and saw Baigui with a head of huafa and stripes all over his face.
"Lord Bai Gui is really old!"
Zhu Jinglun couldn’t help sighing.
Bai Gui sighed, "But the Qing Dynasty was flourishing!"
Zhu Jinglun holds Bai Gui’s arm and "walk into the palace and talk about it"
Zhu Jinglun asked two princesses to come out with their children in their arms and say hello to Baigui, just like seeing an old friend, and asked the children to call Grandpa Baigui.
Bai GUI Lian Dao is not worthy.
Even if he is a foreign minister, he can’t be an emperor. The princess called him grandpa, which was a courtesy, but he just couldn’t fall into the Qing etiquette on this trip, which could also explain why during Yongzheng period, he sent two senior officials, Assistant Minister Li Fan Yuan, to pay tribute to the mission when Tsar Peter Alekseyevich Romanov ascended the throne. They thought it was a courtesy, but the Qing Dynasty believed that Tiancao country sent envoys to Russia at that time for a reason, because Yongzheng was going to worry about harassing Mongolian Zhungeer soldiers at that time, and sent people to negotiate with Russia. In other words, it was to appease the Qing people after the Qing Dynasty. It’s a pity to send envoys to western countries. Because they were ashamed to bow down to the Qing Dynasty, they were not included in the official history. However, they felt ashamed mainly because they realized that the DPRK was superior to Russia and treated the Russians as foreigners. You know, when Russian envoys met the Qing Emperor, they also had to bow down to their international perspective. It’s not shameful to hold the meeting.
Now, the Qing Dynasty is not the time of Kangxi and Yongzheng. When Bai Gui met Zhu Jinglun, he really wanted to bow down. From this point of view, the Qing Dynasty has regarded Da as an equal country and lacked etiquette. But the most important thing is that it is the same as going to Russia when it is entrusted. At this time, the Qing court needs great support to destroy them. Of course, they are afraid to appease the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
However, Zhu Jinglun didn’t accept Baigui’s worship at the gate of the palace. When he arrived at the palace, he asked his family to meet him and let the children call him grandpa. Obviously, there were political considerations.
Because Zhu Jinglun doesn’t intend to talk about state affairs with Baigui, he will regard Baigui as an old friend. Baigui has been over ten. How to calculate it is all the elders? His children call Baigui a grandfather who should know what to do.
Bai Gui sighed in his heart that he had been wandering around the officialdom for so long. Of course, he could see that Zhu Jinglun was avoiding suspicion and deliberately diluting the identity of Bai Gui’s emissary. Frankly speaking, it made him feel very comfortable. He didn’t bow down in public, and there was no distinction between high and low friendship. But he has a diplomatic mission. Zhu Jinglun has this to a great extent now. He was scolded to death in Beixun. Everyone knows that this mission is a shameful thing. It is like when everyone in Russia entrusted with the mission, they felt ashamed and didn’t want to entrust it. After returning to China, he gave Bai Gui, the general manager of grain transportation, a fat job. This time, Yi Xin came to him and said that he didn’t refuse. He also wanted to make up for his mistakes in the past. Maybe he would scold others less later. After his death, he still had some face to face.
But after catching up with him and not talking about state affairs, Zhu Jinglun took him around the palace without giving him a chance to get down to business.
"Although I am a little smaller than the Forbidden City, I often have green grass and evergreen flowers in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and I often have a taste, don’t I?"
Zhu Jinglun showed him everything with Bai Gui, many of which Zhu Jinglun planted himself in his spare time. It’s good to be calm.
Bai Gui suddenly answered the words, "The Forbidden City was built by three generations of people in the Yuan and Qing Dynasties, and now the grand country has made great efforts to cure nothing but the disturbance of foreign things. It is Dafu’s foreign minister who heard that Nanjing hairy thieves built a fake palace that was even bigger than the Forbidden City. I really don’t know how much time it took! Like this puppet country, how can it not die! "
Bai Gui took an excuse to lead Zhu Jinglun to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and pointed to the front corner without saying a word. At this time, a group of maids chased a child and hurried by.
"Children are so naughty!"
