In the northeast region, now that old Maozi is stepping up to occupy the estuary of the Heilongjiang River, if it is slowly encroached on according to the original historical trajectory, coupled with the second opium war, through the incompetent Manchu Qing, the entire outer northeast region will be completely occupied. But now, because www.biquge.info of his own appearance, it has been completely different, not to mention that the emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is no longer the weak Xianfeng, and now the Manchu Qing Dynasty has forced himself back to the Northeast, and the Outer Northeast region has also become the root of the Manchu banner people, and Lao Maozi wants to occupy it again, and it is estimated that the Manchu banner people are not so generous.

Moreover, even if the Manchus could not hold these places, and even betrayed their ancestral land and colluded with Lao Maozi, the empire did not have to be afraid. As long as he vigorously develops the navy, when the time comes, he will directly send troops to the mouth of the Heilongjiang River by sea, and establish castle strongholds in the area of Sakhalin Island and the mouth of the Heilongjiang River.

Moreover, Feng Yunshan has the perspective of later modern people, he has long looked at Lake Baikal and the upper and middle reaches of the Yenisei River in Siberia. These areas that the Manchus arrived in after defeating the Oroqen should have been occupied by Lao Maozi now, but there are very few garrisons.

As long as he can send an elite army, occupy it by surprise, and send strong troops to garrison it, cutting off the only way for Lao Maozi to support the Outer Northeast Yakutia region, then the entire Outer Northeast will naturally be able to pocket the empire. The only problem is the strength of the army: the vast majority of the empire's troops are from the south such as Huguang and Liangguang, Jiangxi and Fujian, except for the current Shunhan Division, which is full of banners and surrendered troops, there are almost no northerners, who are not suitable for the climate of the extremely cold region of Siberia, and the current shortage of imperial troops, it will definitely be impossible to use troops in the short term.

Since it has been decided to establish the capital Tianjing, it is natural to eliminate the unfavorable factors. In addition to developing the navy and building railways to expand the network of transportation and control lines, Feng Yunshan considered imitating several major military regions in later generations, establishing military bases in several border areas, and sending elite troops to garrison them, so as to eliminate the situation that the national capital was too far away from the frontier and lost control over the remote frontiers.

For this reason, Feng Yunshan already had a bold idea in his mind. However, Feng Yunshan hadn't had time to deal with these things, and he was going to wait for the officials of the former Holy King's palace in Beijing and Guangzhou to arrive in Tianjing before making an announcement.

In fact, he had already decided to build the capital in Tianjing, so on the way from Beijing to Tianjin to the sea, he had already issued an order to let Zuo Zongtang and Lu Shunde, who followed him, lead the 10th Division and a group of soldiers to escort the captured and captured prisoners of Beijing. At the same time, he also ordered the entire officials of the Shengwang Palace, who were in Guangzhou, to prepare to leave for Tianjing. Feng Yunshan's estimate is that after arriving in Tianjing City, he will conquer Tianjing within half a month. Therefore, the people in Guangzhou have not yet arrived in Jiangning.

In this Northern Expedition, there were too many seized property, and Zuo Zongtang and others really couldn't escort them, so they could only be carried out in batches. Zuo Zongtang and Lu Shunde personally led the 10th Division and thousands of Minzhuang, along the way, they first took a boat to ship all kinds of valuable treasures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty from the Old Summer Palace, Beijing City and the Forbidden City by sea, and packed them according to the list and transported them to Shanghai.

The rest of the grain is still stored in Tongzhou and Tianjin Fucheng for the time being, and Feng Yunshan is not ready to transport it back to the south, after all, a small half of the grain will be lost once it is transported. He planned to put it directly in Tianjin, according to the historical catastrophe of the diversion of the Yellow River, in a few months, neighboring Shandong will suffer from the great flood after the diversion of the Yellow River, and then a large amount of grain will be needed.

Feng Yunshan had already received the news that Zuo Zongtang and the others had arrived at Wusongkou, and he immediately sent someone to inform Zuo Zongtang that they had rushed directly to Tianjing.

He was thinking about whether to hold a grand ceremony of founding the country again when his subordinates rushed to Tianjing City, after all, when he was originally in Beijing City, he only set the name of the country and announced the founding of the country, and the main operation was only the enthronement ceremony, but did not determine the national capital, nor did he reward these subordinates and determine the official position, which was a bit child's play. The group of subordinates who followed him must be looking forward to rewarding him, and it is not a matter of dragging it all the time.

At this time, Minister of Justice Huang Yukun came to meet him.

"Wechen has seen Your Majesty, long live long live long live!" As soon as he saw Feng Yunshan, Huang Yukun paid a big salute.

Feng Yunshan hurriedly helped him up in front of the mountain and said, "Huang Aiqing doesn't have to be polite!" What's the matter with Aiqing? ”

"Your Majesty! After the occupation of Tianjing City, Weichen and the agents of Tianjing Station of the Special Service Department jointly searched Tianjing City, focusing on the traitors who had betrayed the Holy Kingdom, and more than 80 people had been arrested. Among them, Zhang Daguang, the former commander of the Ninth Brigade of the First Army, and Chen Guitang, the former commander of the brigade, have been arrested. Let's start to play Your Majesty, see how to deal with it? ”

"Chen Guitang? Zhang Daguang? Is it the brigade commander who was originally stationed in Shaowu Mansion, Fujian, and later betrayed the Kingdom of Heaven and led his troops to flee to Tianjing via Zhejiang? Chen Guitang I know, and I can be regarded as an old brother in Guangxi, but unfortunately, hey, it turned out to be Yang Xiuqing's meticulous work! Feng Yunshan asked.

"Your Majesty has a good memory! It's that Zhang Daguang and Chen Guitang! Your Majesty, these two people betrayed the holy country at that time, if they were according to the original holy canons, they would have to divide the corpses of five horses, but considering that Your Majesty has always been merciful, Weichen is ready to directly behead the public, what ......do you think? Huang Yukun asked cautiously.

He was the Minister of Justice under the original Holy King's Palace, and was responsible for the punishment of the Holy Kingdom. He is iron-faced and selfless, if in the past, he would have prepared the horses early and would not have replaced them with other punishments, but now because Feng Yunshan has repeatedly mentioned that the torture of Ling Chi and the five horses splitting the corpses and lighting the sky lantern is too bloody and cruel, he has also begun to be a little flexible, and directly adopts the method of beheading the public, which is already a very lenient punishment.

Feng Yunshan said: "Huang Aiqing, what is the attitude of these two people now, and Zhang Daguang's subordinates who followed, have they repented?" ”

"Your Majesty, this Daguang is crying bitterly, desperately begging for mercy, saying that he sincerely submits to the empire, and begs His Majesty to give him a chance. His subordinates also begged for mercy. And Chen Guitang also claimed that as long as His Majesty gave him a chance, he would definitely be guilty of meritorious service and could act as a death squad to fight to the death! Huang Yukun replied, but he changed his words and said, "But Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that he can't forgive them too much." If they are let go, there will be people who will betray the empire in the future, and this wind will not rise! ”

Feng Yunshan was indeed a little hesitant, he was thinking about whether to give Chen Guitang a chance, after all, he was a close confidant sent by Yang Xiuqing at the beginning, and he would definitely serve the East King, but each was his master. Now that Yang Xiuqing is dead, the entire kingdom of heaven has all been submitted to the empire, and he is willing to act as a death squad, he should fight to the death for the empire.

However, since Huang Yukun, who is in charge of the Ministry of Justice, insists on this, let's follow his opinion, after all, the empire has been newly established, and a large number of original heavenly soldiers have returned to it. Moreover, their betrayal of themselves is indeed an unforgivable sin, and must be severely punished, and those soldiers who died tragically because of them must be given an account.

So, after thinking for a while, Feng Yunshan gritted his teeth and said: "It's too troublesome to behead the public, and besides, not many people want to see the bloody heads, after all, they used to be members of the Heavenly Kingdom, so let's change the way of execution." In this case, shoot directly with a musket at close range. You can organize some people to watch as a warning! ”

Huang Yukun hurriedly agreed.
