c_t; Zhang Yi spent ten days to complete the affairs of the group, got up and went to Germany, and before leaving, he specially sent a telegram to Tan Sitong and Liang Qichao, describing the visit to Europe. asked Tan Sitong and Liang Qichao and some other backbones of Western study abroad to wait for him in Germany.

Zhang Yi boarded the passenger ship to Germany, and Mukden began to be in chaos.

First of all, dozens of bandits suddenly appeared in Mukden, as well as two bandits, and began to loot everywhere, unscrupulously, and specifically aimed at the merchants of various countries in Mukden, and then some merchants in the interior were also greatly impacted, and then, Yiktanga ordered the army of Mukden to expropriate and suppress the bandits in Mukden.

Tang Keqiang, the general soldier of Jinzhou, led these two thousand elites to encircle and suppress the bandits, and as a result, in the Panjin area, he was ambushed by the bandits and was surrounded by four or five thousand bandits.

This time, I didn't fall into the ambush of the bandits, but the army had just arrived in Liaoxi, and more than 2,000 people of the 5,000 army deserted, saying that the Fengtian army had not paid for three months, and there was no military salary, who would still work for the imperial court?

Zhao Shixiao, the general who led the army, complained about how the general's mansion could delay for so long without paying military salaries, which made the army confused and had no fighting spirit. ( Advertisement)

Iktanga was in a hurry, and urgently transferred 100,000 taels of silver from the treasury of the general's mansion as military pay to appease the army, but after the two battles, Fengtian's army had lost more than 5,000 people, and the remaining army was either stationed on the Yalu River to defend against the Japanese attack, or a group of old soldiers who had no combat effectiveness at all, or they were stationed on the border of Fengmeng to guard against the Mongol rebellion. Difficult to mobilize.

Yike Tang'a is facing a lot of difficulties, these are still a little worse, the fatal thing is that a large number of peasants in the Guannei poured into Fengtian, trying to reclaim the wasteland in Fengtian to fill their stomachs, according to the promise of the General's Mansion back then, the General's Mansion must come up with a large amount of silver and grain. The resettlement of these peasants who had reclaimed the land is now in the treasury of the General's Mansion. With less than one million taels of silver, this still has to maintain the operation of the yamen at all levels, where is there still a surplus of financial relief for the peasants?

However, Cai Shaoji, the general office of the Agricultural Reclamation Bureau, ran to the general's mansion almost every day to ask for money, and Iktang'a was so confused that he was at a loss, so he had to urgently ask the imperial court for an edict and pray for the allocation of relief treasury money.

As a result, he was reprimanded by Cixi, and it turned out that when Zhang Yi was in power, it took a year. Fengtian has increased the number of peasants by six million, and Zhang Yi has not asked the court for a penny, you have just been in Fengtian for two months and asked the court for money, what are you doing? Last year, Zhang Yi took the lead in paying 1.5 million or 600,000 taels of silver to the imperial court, can you do it, if you can't do it, hurry up and step down for me. ( ) I'll be someone else!

Iktanga was so bitter that he had no choice but to fold his bottle and make a fortune in an attempt to calm the situation, and at the same time ordered to stop Mukden's policy of pro-people. As a result, the government decreed, and the peasants who came to Fengtian stopped doing it, and flocked to the general's mansion one after another, surrounding the general's mansion through the wind and rain, and fled to explain the law.

This is not the most serious, the most serious thing is that a group of horse bandits suddenly hijacked the leather goods worth nearly one million taels of the Jin merchant Qiao Zhiyong Dade Tong in western Liaoning. It's terrible.

All the Jin merchants in Fengtian jointly wrote a letter, asking the imperial court and the Shengjing General's Mansion to come forward to solve the problem, these Jin merchants were all big businessmen invited by Zhang Yi last year, and they swore that they would protect their business and Hu safety, it has only been a year, and something like this has happened, what's wrong?

These Jin merchants each have a different way of doing things, saying that the important officials of the court and the central government are inextricably linked, and the Jin merchants put pressure together, and the ministers of the court and the central government, it is difficult to resist the pressure, and they began to write a letter to impeach Iktang A for doing nothing in Mukden, and the situation in Mukden is close to getting out of control and is in chaos.

The impeachment of Shi Tai and other ministers was placed on the case of Cixi and Guangxu one by one, not only was there turmoil in Fengtian, but these turmoil had even crossed Jilin and affected the stability of Heilongjiang, and the three provinces outside the Guanxi were full of rumors;!

Cixi was furious and scolded Li Hongzao and others, who had participated in the impeachment of Zhang Yi, when Zhang Yi governed Fengtian, Fengtian was prosperous, and all the bandits were wiped out and disappeared without a trace, and now Zhang Yi has just left his post, just chatting for a few months, the three eastern provinces have been in chaos, you group of waste, the people of Fengtian, Jilin and other places have not been civilized, and the people are fierce, do you think that you can be suppressed by individuals? Now, the goods of nearly one million taels of silver of the Jin merchants have been robbed, and the local farmers are complaining, what should I do? Who's going to clean up the situation? Yiketang A has always been loyal and brave, and he has the courage to do things, but now he is anxious, who can still shake the three northeastern provinces?

Cixi scolded angrily, scolding Li Hongzao and Gangyi and others so red-faced, they didn't dare to speak, Cixi was angry, and the water didn't dare to provoke, even Prince Gong didn't dare to speak easily.

Li Hongzhang replied: "Lafayette, the best way now is to let Zhang Yi return to Fengtian and govern Fengtian's military affairs. When the time comes, it's really tricky. ”

Cixi snorted coldly and said, "Shaoquan, are you also confused?" The imperial court has just issued an order to exempt General Jianzhi Shengjing from his errand, and it is less than three months, and the imperial court will appoint him again to serve as General Shengjing, so what about the face of the imperial court? Where to go? ”

Li Hongzhang smiled bitterly for a while, and said in his heart, he is really old, just remembering that he wants to restore Jianzhi's position, but he forgot about this stubble, Lafayette has the best face, in this way, didn't she let her slap herself in the face? It's just that, Lafayette, if you don't restore Jianzhi's position now, and wait until the situation in Mukden is out of control, and then you want to recover, then it is not simply to give him a Shengjing general to get through.

Cixi was depressed for a while, and Emperor Guangxu on the side was even more pale, it was all these old stubborn people who made trouble, okay, it's lively, this group of people can't see a little good in the Qing Dynasty!

Cixi said in a sullen voice: "Okay, let's do it first, pass the decree, tell Yiktanga to pay the tax and silver to Fengtian, return 600,000 taels, and use it to stabilize the situation in Fengtian, and ask Yiktanga to find a way to solve it himself, if he can't stabilize the situation in Fengtian, come and see you!" ”

The eunuch on the side hurriedly served the proposed decree, and the unfortunate Iktanga was put on the stove like this! (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
