Fight hard! It is indeed a cherished battle! At the time of entering the customs, the total strength of the Eight Banners, including the Eight Banners of Manchuria, the Eight Banners of Mongolia, and the Eight Banners of the Han Army, was only more than 100,000. How can you not hesitate to fight?

Daoguang sighed secretly in his heart, even if the Ancestor Saint Ancestor realized that preserving the strength of the Eight Banners would cause the Eight Banners' combat power to decline rapidly, he had no choice but to do it! This kid hit the nail on the head and got to the point!

After a slight groan, he said, "Go on." ”

"The children of the Eight Banners will be put into the file, and the strong ones will be soldiers, and the treatment will be good, in order to ensure that the Standing Soldiers of the Eight Banners have enough troops and the combat power of the Eight Banners." Yi Zhizu said slowly: "The system itself is impeccable, but no matter how good the system and how good the training method is, it will not be able to train elite soldiers." As for the Green Camp ....... ”

Seeing his hesitation, Daoguang encouraged: "Tell the truth, don't worry, I want to hear the truth." ”

"Compared with the Eight Banners, the Green Camp is like a little lady's raising, and the dirty work and hard work are all from the Green Camp, but the status and treatment cannot be compared with the Eight Banners." Yi Zhizhi said in a deep voice: "In the opinion of Weichen, the green battalion is an army that lacks a soul, and in a battle with Yingyi, the green battalion will collapse at the first touch, and flee in the wind, even the Eight Banners are not as good, it is useless to consume money and food." ”

Raised by the little lady, this is vulgar, but it is appropriate, and the situation in the green camp is indeed the case, Daoguang frowned and said: "Lack of soul, what do you mean?" ”

"The soul of the country is the soul of the country, the army has the soul of the army, and the soul of an army contains many aspects, such as honor, consciousness, spirit, faith, consciousness, style, and so on." Yi Zhizhi said: "The green camp can be said to have nothing. ”

Daoguang frowned when he heard this, estimating that these things should be easy to know and copy the thoughts and concepts of Western-style military training, and he groaned slightly, and then he said: "Weapons, aren't weapons the most critical?" ”

"Weapons are key, but not the most critical." Yi Zhishu said calmly: "The Yingyi fleet crisscrosses the southeast coast like a no-man's land, and what it relies on is the strong ships and guns, but according to Weichen's view, even if my Da Qingshui Division has the same strong ships and guns, maybe it should be reversed, even if the weapons used by the British army are the same as those of the Eight Banners Green Battalion, the outcome is the same."

Although the British army will surrender, it will only choose to surrender when it is cornered, in the case of being invincible, in order to avoid increasing the casualties of the fearless, but the Green Battalion of the Eight Banners is about to collapse at the touch of a button, and has no sense of fighting.

In the war with England, we were defeated not only in terms of weapons and equipment, but also in terms of the quality, discipline, organization, and structure of the army, and the comprehensive combat strength of the two armies was not at the same level at all. ”

These words hit Daoguang a little hard, and he said with a gloomy face: "Yuanqi regiment has practiced continuous battles and won successes, how can it be compared with the British army?" ”

"Not as far as the British." Yi Zhisuff said without thinking: "The reason why Yuanqi group training can fight against the British army is completely because the difference in the power of the muskets between the two sides is too large, occupying an absolute and overwhelming advantage, but the weapon advantage is difficult to maintain for a long time. ”

Hearing this, Daoguang's face was a little uncertain, and he said after a while: "In other words, even if you follow the Western-style method of military training, organize and train the new army, and configure the Mini gun, you may not be the opponent of the British army?" ”

"Not necessarily." Yi Zhisuff pondered and said: "The combat strength of the British army has been improved through a series of wars, and if the new army trained by the imperial court can continuously improve its combat power through actual combat, and fight on the mainland, it can also be on a par with the British army, at least enough to resist the invasion of the West." ”

After a battle with the British army, Daoguang has regarded the West as a problem in his heart, and he is extremely satisfied to be able to resist the invasion of the West, and after thinking about it for a while, he said: "If the imperial court intends to reform the military system, what aspects should it start with?" ”

Renovating the military system? Daoguang has so much courage? Yi Zhishu was a little suspicious, this problem was too big, it was a matter of the Qing Dynasty, he didn't dare to open his mouth, and immediately said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, Weichen hasn't thought about this problem." ”

"Then think about it carefully these days in Beijing." Daoguang raised his hand slightly as he spoke, originally wanted to call him kneeling, but then said: "I heard that you have never had a word, why is this?" ”

Men's twenty crowns and words, for those who have status and status, especially officials and scholars, the word is absolutely indispensable, easy to be content but not accustomed, he is young and high-position, and he communicates, the old often call him content, showing closeness and cordiality, and the general peers call him the big shopkeeper or the lord, the adult, he didn't want to take a word or anything at all, although someone reminded him, he didn't take it seriously.

Listening to Daoguang asked, he said curtly: "The name of Weichenjue's contentment is very good, those who are content are rich, contentment is always happy, contentment is peaceful, contentment is not disgraceful, contentment is less ......" ”

Daoguang smiled when he heard this, "Those who are content are rich, but they live up to their name, but now you are a first-class viscount, a member of the imperial court, no word is wrong after all, I give you a word, the city of the country, the dry city of the country!" ”

The dry city of the country! Yi Zhixiang didn't expect Daoguang to give words in person, and he had such high expectations for him, not to mention that he didn't have words, even if he had words, he quickly changed it, this was given by the emperor himself, he quickly got up and knelt down, and said: "Weichen thanks the emperor's gift, he must use words to encourage himself, work hard, and work hard for the country." ”

Daoguang smiled: "Okay, let's get here today, kneel down." ”

Out of the Guangming Palace, Yi Zhizu breathed a sigh of relief, Daoguang not only did not delve into the expansion of the Yuanqi regiment in Annan, but also gave the word personally, it seems that this trip to Beijing should be risk-free, however, this conversation, Daoguang's topics are all around Annan and the military system, is it possible that Daoguang is really determined to reform the military system?

He was about to sort out and recall the match between Fang Cai and Daoguang, when Su Shun had already walked up quickly, arched his hand and chuckled: "Brother Contentment can get a lottery head this time?" ”

Jackpots? Yi Zhizhi smiled, "Brother Yuting can change his name in the future, and his name is in Xiaguo City." ”

The national city? Su Shun was stunned, and then said in surprise: "Given by the emperor? ”

Yi Zhishu nodded and said, "How did Brother Yuting come?" ”

Su Shun was originally a little worried, but when he heard Daoguang's words, he was immediately relieved and said with a smile: "Brother Contentment..... No, Brother Guocheng is really a saint, go, today for my brother to pick up the wind and wash the dust for you. ”

Out of the big palace gate, then there was a subordinate for Su Shun to lead the horse, Yi Zhizhi was looking for his own sedan chair, seeing this situation, Su Shun was surprised and said: "Brother Guocheng came in a sedan chair?" ”

"Sitting." Yi Zhizu responded casually, and saw Li Wang coming, he was waiting to be instructed, Su Shun was already smiling and handed the reins to him, and said with a smile: "The military general rides a horse, the civil official rides a sedan chair, Brother Guocheng is a first-class military general, how can he sit in a sedan chair, let the eyeless Yushi bump into it, and he will inevitably be impeached, this mule cart and carriage all over the street, how can Brother Guocheng choose a sedan chair?" ”

Hearing him say this, Yi Zhizhi was content, he used to be a civil official in Shanghai Dao, and later changed to Nanyang Admiral is a military attachΓ©, and he is used to riding a sedan chair and riding a horse in the place on weekdays, and he doesn't want to have so many rules in Beijing.

"I'm used to wandering around." Yi Zhishu said and turned over his horse and said, "I'm really a little hungry, where are we going to eat?" ”

"Let's go to Haidian." Su Shun collapsed on the horse of his entourage and said, "Brother Guocheng, do you still want to meet in the next few days?" ”

Yi Zhihui thought about Daoguang's tone and said, "The emperor should still summon him." ”

"Then Brother Guocheng lives in Haidian, and the province is going back and forth." Su Shun smiled: "My family has a courtyard near here, but it is also clean. So saying, he turned to his attendants and said, "Fast, you will follow." ”

Haidian town is the gateway to the Old Summer Palace in Beijing, and it is also the central market town that serves the Old Summer Palace, since the Kangxi Dynasty, with the construction of the three mountains and five gardens, it is more and more prosperous year by year, because the Qing Emperor often holds the early dynasty in the garden in the summer and autumn, and a group of Beijing officials want to rush over from the Beijing Division, not for not suffering, in order to avoid the pain of running around, many officials are here to privately buy mansions and other businesses, so that the Haidian deformity of prosperity up.

There are not only many wine shops in Haidian, but also high grade, because those who come to Haidian to consume are either big or rich, built by the river, covering a wide area, as if it is a separate courtyard, the large and small courtyards are scattered, but they are separated by each other, the green trees are shady inside, and all kinds of flowers and plants can be seen everywhere.

There was actually a lotus pond in the courtyard under Su Shun's package, Yi Zhishu looked at it all the way and smiled: "Just the two of us, why bother to spend so much?" ”

"I heard that Brother Guocheng entered Beijing, and I don't know how many people are vying to catch the wind and wash the dust for Brother Guocheng, how can it be just the two of us?" The two of them walked through the courtyard and entered the hall with a smile, and Su Shun casually ordered: "Send a few of your good dishes at will, quickly, slightly, in addition, send a pot of lotus liquor." ”

After sitting down, Su Shun chuckled and said: "Brother Guocheng is now our famous God of Wealth in the Qing Dynasty, the first battle in the south of the Yangtze River, you have formed countless good fates, in order to catch the wind and wash the dust for you, they almost didn't fight, this courtyard is set by the monk king for today's dinner, it is estimated that there will be more than an hour, he should come." ”

As soon as he heard that Monk Greenqin invited him to dinner, Yi Zhizhi smiled and said: "Then let's stop drinking, the monk king's amount of wine is ......." ”

"Don't worry." Su Shun said with a smile: "Lotus liquor is made of aged sorghum liquor supplemented by Chinese medicinal materials such as angelica, Polygonum multiflori, nutmeg, etc., and is brewed from the famous spring of Xixia - Wulianchi spring water. ”

Yi Zhixiang also wanted to take a nap, he got up early in the morning and hurried, and he didn't dare to close his eyes on the road, the weather was hot, and he was really a little tired, so he immediately said: "Cheng, let's have a drink or two." ”

"Jiangning has said goodbye, but for a year, Brother Guocheng has not stopped ......." Su Shun said with a smile: "The Beijing-Hangzhou Railway raised funds and raised shares, Yuanqi regimental training sent troops to Annan without authorization, and Yuanqi expanded its shares and dividends..... Is Hongji Coal Mine really worth two billion taels of silver? ”

Yi Zhishu took out a cigar and lit it slowly, "Two billion taels of silver is just a conservative estimate, what's the matter, interested in coal mines?" ”

"Brother Guocheng played, and suggested that the Yuanqi model should be promoted in Zhili and Shanxi first." Su Shun said tentatively: "My father is a little interesting to Shanxi...... ”

Interesting to Shanxi? Yi Zhizu took a slow puff of his cigar, let the smoke circulate between his tongue, and then slowly spit it out after savoring it, "Shanxi Lao Li, rich in the world, Shanxi's coal mine reserves are still above Hongji, and Shanxi coal mine is directly related to the industrial development of the northern and northwest provinces. ”

After a little hesitation, Su Shuncai said: "Brother Guocheng thinks, which province is suitable?" ”

Yi Zhixiang smiled and said, "Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan, Henan, Shaanxi and the coastal provinces are all suitable, it depends on which province your province can eat." ”

"How about Zhejiang and Jiangsu?"

Zhejiang and Jiangsu are Yuanqi's territory, and Yi Zhizhi said with a smile: "If it is only for wealth, it is the best choice." ”

Su Shun said with a smile: "No matter how my father chooses, I have to thank Brother Guocheng first." ”

"Between us, why be polite." Yi Zhishu said and asked: "Yuan Qi regiment training sent troops to Annam without authorization, and the reaction of the Beijing division should not be small, right?" ”

Su Shun shook his head and said: "The reaction of the Jingshi is not big, the battle with Yingli, the Yuanqi regiment practice is very powerful, famous all over the world, and it has not caused much discussion at all, but the Manchu ministers in the court have a lot of criticism, but when they heard that the Hongji coal mine is worth two billion taels of silver, they all obediently shut up, and no one discussed it again."

A few days ago, it was rumored that the Yuanqi regimental training defeated the 200,000 army of Annam in Hongji, and the Beijing division was lively for a few days, and the Yuanqi regimental training was about to be praised to the sky, but the emperor's dragon body was not safe, and the court did not react much to this. ”

Yi Zhizu nodded slightly, Hongji has won a great victory, the imperial court has announced that the world will raise troops to recruit Annan, and it is normal that there is no repercussion, after all, Yuanqi Tuanlian is not the master of the imperial court.

Su Shun said with a smile: "However, Hongji has a great victory, and there is one person in the Jingshi who is the happiest, the general of Zhengnan, Prince Hui Mianyu." ”

"Prince Hui is still in Jingshi?" Easy contentment was a big surprise.

"Not bad." Su Shun nodded with a smile.

What does that mean? It has been more than a month since the edict to conquer Annan was issued, and Prince Hui Mianyu, the general of the expedition to the south, actually stayed in Beijing and did not set off? Could it be that when Daoguang made the order, he had already intended to summon him to Beijing? Otherwise, there is no reason for Prince Hui to stay in Jingshi all the time.

A few maids came in with food boxes at this time to arrange the wine and food, although Yi Zhixiang was a little hungry, considering that there was a dinner party next, the food was very reserved, the two had a few drinks and were about to stop the cup, but someone came in when they heard it, Su Shun got up and took a look, and hurriedly said: "The monk came with the fourth master." ”

The monk king is naturally the monk Grinqin, which fourth master is the fourth master? A companion word, it is obvious that the identity of this fourth master is above the monk king, as soon as he thought about it, Yi Zhizhi realized who this fourth master was, and he quickly got up and went out.

Monk Greenqin and a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy with beautiful eyebrows walked in together, Su Shun took a few steps forward to greet him, and said with a thousand salutes: "Little Su Shun greets the fourth elder brother, and greets the monk and the prince."
