"Since the first year of Tongzhi, there have not been many years of peace, and foreigners are going to provoke us again! The French relied on the warship to be powerful, under the pretense of the Tianjin teaching case, with the intention of coercing China, the Japanese are such a small country, and they dare to bully our Ryukyu vassals, the most hateful is Russia, he has no one in his eyes, without permission, the Kokand country, the vassal of the Celestial Empire have been destroyed, the lord of the country is like a lost dog, fled into Xinjiang, all his wives were killed, the Russians hugged the grass and beat rabbits, and by the way, they wanted the Ili River! In the past Agubo Rebellion, where did the foreign guns and cannons that they killed the monk king come from? It's all given by the Russians! Such wolf ambition is really hateful. ”

The student opened his arms like a huge bird, jumping and chirping in the air, "They killed the people of the Turghut tribe and came towards Ili again!" They killed the fishermen in Temple Street and came to Jilin again! ”

"Our army fought back, but it wasn't enough! Students! Beihai is still in a critical state, and there is a Russian army in Jilin! ”……

The Qinzheng Hall is very solemn, everyone knows that this time with the Russians, it will not be the same understatement as before, the person who can talk to the person when he is called up, he has already calculated what to say in his heart, and he will not be unprepared, but everyone is very cautious, waiting for others to throw out their views first, for a while the hall is very silent, the emperor looked around at everyone, and said slowly, "The Russians first invaded Kokand, and then harassed Ili, drank the Ili River, and killed the herdsmen of the Turkut tribe, not to mention the Agubo Rebellion in the past, It's all the Russians who are coaxing behind their backs, and now they are killing our fishermen in Jilin, committing the land of Longxing, and disturbing the ancestors and ancestors, and the crime is very great, what should I do next. Today, I called the senior officials of the court and the central government to discuss together, what should we do next? What to do and how to negotiate, you have to talk about it one by one. Seeing that no one spoke, the emperor's eyes narrowed slightly. began to roll call, "Master Li, you talk about it first." ”

"The most important ancestral family law in this dynasty," Li Hongzao was not in a hurry when he heard the emperor speak, and said while standing, "In the past, the Holy Ancestor Dynasty, the Russians also came to attack in the northeast, after the two battles of Yaksa. Russia was convinced, and only then did the "Nebuchu Treaty" be signed to ensure the stability of the northeast for more than 100 years, so that the Holy Ancestor had no worries about pacifying the northwestern Jungar region, and thus created a prosperous era of Kangyongqian. The first emperor and the Russians determined the boundaries of the northeastern frontier, except for the place where the two sides of the "Nebuchu Treaty" had not determined the belonging, the rest was the border of the Qing Dynasty, and the Russians were not allowed to breed trouble. The minister thought that the Russians had passed all these years. The heart of courtesy, righteousness and shame has probably been forgotten again, and it still needs to be reminded. The emperor frowned, and Li Hongzao said unhurriedly, "Salute first and then soldier, the Prime Minister Yamen has negotiated many times, and the Russians are stubborn and uneducated." The minister thought that it was better to send a large army to punish him. ”

The emperor's eyebrows stretched, his master still knew his mind, he nodded approvingly, and many people saw the emperor nodding for a while. also hurriedly went out to fight with Russia head-on, punish the Russians, the hall was full of the voice of the main battle faction, the emperor seemed to be ready to declare war in the country, at this time, Bao Jun was under the capable subordinates of the household department, and Qian Wenzhong, the household servant who presided over the military supply of the northwest and Mobei, came out of the class and said: "The Russians are rude, and they should have been reprimanded and taught a lesson, but now although the army of the twelve towns has not yet come out, only the military expenditure in the northwest and north and other places has only been in a month or two, and there are already as many as tens of thousands of taels of silver." This does not include the cost of building official roads to open up Kulun and Zhangjiakou. ”

His words are not to say that these families and countries have a great cause, but only to talk about the difficulties of the household money and food, "this year's autumn tax and the local gold have not yet been solved into Beijing, the purchase of foreign warships has been stopped, this matter has aroused the dissatisfaction of the French, the minister thinks, and the Russians, the prestige of our country, is naturally important, but this military expenditure and logistics, but it is very difficult to do, if it is a big fight, it is inevitable to spend a lot of silver, the silver here is spent too much, other places will be reduced, if it affects the foreign affairs plan, hurt the vitality, It is useless to the country, please think twice. ”

Shangshu Gengshou of the Manchu Military Department also went out to play, "Your Majesty, the servants think that the land of the Northwest and Beihai was not the land of China in the past, and if we declare war, it will be placed at the level of the country and the country, and the division will be nameless, and it will inevitably be criticized." Moreover, there are many deserts in Kokand and many ice and snow in the North Sea, which are only suitable for grazing, and must not be farmed, and the income is not large. The west of the sea is sown, the Beihai area, the two places are flat, and it is not a dangerous place, it is difficult to defend and easy to attack, if it is attacked in the future, send heavy troops to guard, it is not easy, if the army is not stationed, the Russians will make a comeback in the future, so entangled, there will be no peace in the northwest and northeast, and now Uriya Sutai has approached the North Sea, the northwest area, Kokand restored, the Turghat Department and the Chenghua Temple have made achievements, it is a good time to see the good and receive, the slave thinks, it is better to win and seek peace. ”

"What does it mean to seek peace by victory?" The emperor said lightly.

"The northwest is worry-free, just look at the North Sea, concentrate forces to win a battle, and take advantage of the victory to understand the affairs in the north, so that the northeast will not be disturbed by the Russians." Gengshou said, "The Northeast is the land of Longxing, the birthplace of Emperor Taizu's army to unify China, and it should be the first important place in any case, and it should not be missed." Kokand has been restored in the old capital, half of Thailand has been recovered, the war in the northwest has been effective, and north of the Tianshan Mountains, there is also a base area, if Russia does not mention it, we will naturally occupy it, if we can take advantage of a victory to get this thing done, I guess there is no need to make a big move. ”

Emperor Tongzhi frowned slightly, and Dong Yuanol, the imperial historian of Zuodu, retorted, "Lord Geng's words are ridiculous! ”

"You," Geng Shou glanced at Dong Yuanol disdainfully, in his eyes, Dong Yuanol was just a lucky Han villain, Dong Yuanol was indifferent to Gengshou's attitude, and lowered his hand to return to the emperor, "The minister flipped through the old history books, since the Han and Tang Dynasties, the Green Ridge area is the land of the Central Plains, and the Han Dynasty set up a capital to manage the Western Regions, and the Tang Dynasty fought several times with the Great Food Country for this place, in order to take root in the Green Mountains and not let the Great Food Country be condescending, go downstream, and the army invaded the land of the Western Regions, If Kokand is lost, the Ili River is not guaranteed, and the sea will not belong to the Central Plains, and if Russia encroaches step by step in the future, Ili City has become a border city, how can it be the capital of Xinjiang Province again.
