As he continued to walk, Cen Chunxuan came across another group of soldiers from the Fen tribe who were escorting prisoners of war, and the villages they passed through were all burned to the ground, leaving only the domed stone bell tower of the worship temple and a few old trees in the center of the square. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info The trees are full of frightening fruits. It should have been three days ago, dozens of Xia children were hung from this tree. Many Xia officials, including local administrators and mainland officials who had been exiled, were cut down here. The city has become a no-man's land. The men all defected to Bai Yanbiao, and the old, weak, women and children all fled into the woods before the foreseen arrival of the Qianguo counterinsurgency army. Cen Chunxuan ran wildly all the way, except for Xiema along the way, he didn't stop for a moment, just rushed to the road. The next day, he went to a village and town, where the fighting forgave the land, and only a few houses in the town were damaged, and some of the homes of exiled officials were bulldozed. There were a hundred Kazakh cavalrymen stationed in the town, and the captain of the leader was called Kundez. Everyone of them was worried and scared to the extreme, as if they all decided that Lin Yiqing would come to the city anytime and anywhere. That catastrophic revenge will surely be unheard of. No one knows who exactly sent the news, or where it came. Or people are afraid, and rumors become fear, and everyone takes it for granted. It is precisely because of this that it is enough to cause repeated rumors that Lin Yiqing has been patrolling in Xi'an, and has come on the way to Xinjiang, burning down many fortresses of the people and slaughtering the people. Therefore, the sight of a horse rider will cause infinite horror in a very short time. Cen Chunxuan eagerly probed these rumors, because he believed that even if these rumors were false, they would still be able to curb the rebellion to a certain extent and spread to the entire territory of Xinjiang.

Cen Chunxuan didn't know that Lin Yiqing was still in Beijing at this time, but he already knew everything that happened in Xinjiang.

Beijing, Qingqi Garden, Yongqing Changchun.

The originally elegant and quiet royal garden rarely heard the crying of babies one after another.

"Rong'er is good, don't cry, don't cry......"

"Huan'er, don't cry, don't cry......"

Looking at the Empress Dowager Renxi and Emperor Tongzhi's concubines coaxing Lin Yiqing's newly sent children to the palace, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Li Jintai's mouth.

Lin Yiqing's mansion is a group of female porridge, and the four daughters who have been newly sent to the palace (Lin Yujing, 3 years old, mother Zhu Xueyan. Lin Yuqi, 2 years old, mother Chiho Kirino. Lin Yuning, 3 years old, mother Pan Qingxian. Lin Yurong, 1 year old, mother Feng Xiaorong) three men (Lin Hanhai, 1 year old, mother Huang Zhengrong. Lin Taihuan, 1 year old, mother Li Sizhu. Lin Boqian, 2 years old, mother He Yunqing) has seven children, which is a testimony to his peaceful life after quelling the Hunan Hunan rebellion.

For the first time, there were seven more children in the palace at once, and it can be said that it was very lively.

The current Qingqi Garden can be said to be a veritable "royal kindergarten".

Because there were too many children and they all needed to be taken care of, the Empress Dowager Renxi had no choice but to call the widows of her son Emperor Tongzhi for help, and these concubines who had been widowed for many years and had no children also had a rare smile on their faces because of taking care of these children.

"This Lin Hanpeng's children are all handsome, and in the future, those who propose marriage will have to step on the threshold!" Empress Dowager Renxi said to Empress Dowager Rentai with a smile.

"And these children don't recognize their lives, and they laugh when they see people." Empress Dowager Rentai smiled and nodded.

"Maybe he is coming to the garden again to hand over the sign to meet him, saying that he is coming to see us, but in fact, he is still coming to see his dolls." Empress Dowager Renxi smiled, "After all, it's my own flesh and blood!" ”

"That is, the relationship between father and son, after all, is constantly parted." Empress Dowager Rentai thought of the rebellion that happened in Xinjiang, and couldn't help sighing, "It's good to come and take a few more trips, this chaos in Xinjiang has to be pacified." When the time comes, the flesh and blood will be separated again. ”

Hearing the Empress Dowager Rentai talk about the rebellion in Xinjiang, the Empress Dowager Renxi also sighed, and there was a cloud of sorrow between her eyebrows.

"The last time Zuo Jigao went west, 100,000 soldiers and horses entered Xinjiang, and spent 40 million taels of silver to settle down and build a province......

"Zuo Jigao's battle was not good that time, so much silver, a lot of it was given to him to be greedy, but fortunately, the court later disposed of it properly and took back some of it, this time Lin Hanpeng went to quell the rebellion, I think it won't cost as much as Zuo Jigao, right?" Empress Dowager Rentai said.

"Over the years, we have had some peaceful days, foreign affairs have also been done, and a lot of silver has been saved in the treasury, but as soon as this battle starts, these silvers will be spent like flowing water again." Mrs. Renxi said with a sad look at the back.

"The rebellion in central Hunan was pacified before Lin Hanpeng left Beijing, and the total cost of the imperial court was only one million taels of silver, if he wanted to go this time, he would definitely not spend money as indiscriminately as Zuo Jigao." Empress Dowager Rentai comforted Empress Dowager Renxi and said, "As long as it is within 10 million taels of silver, our sisters can still bear it." ”

The Empress Dowager Renxi knew that the Empress Dowager Rentai was talking about the "private money" that their sisters had deposited in Rothchild Bank, so she couldn't help but smile slightly, winked at her, and motioned her to stop talking.

Empress Dowager Rentai understood, smiled and nodded.

At this moment, a little eunuch hurriedly came to report that Lin Yiqing handed over a sign and asked to see him.

"As he spoke, the others arrived, and it happened that our sister asked him how much silver he would spend if he made this trip." Empress Dowager Renxi said.

Hearing the tone of the Empress Dowager Renxi, it seemed that as long as Lin Yiqing came out, everything would be fine, and Li Jintai couldn't help but wonder about the confidence of the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces in Lin Yiqing.

He has heard a lot of reports about the situation of the Xinjiang Rebellion these days, and he also knows that the imperial court is likely to ask Lin Yiqing to go out to quell the rebellion, he understands the hardships and dangers involved, so he has always been very worried about Lin Yiqing, worried that his reputation as a "victorious general" will be damaged.

But what happened later showed that his "brother-worshipping" worries were completely unnecessary.

Not long after, under the guidance of Wang Dehuan, the third manager, Lin Yiqing came to Yongqing Changchun Garden.

The Queen Mother of the Two Palaces met with Lin Yiqing and took him to visit her children in the garden.

"Lin Hanpeng, I have to work hard for you again this time." Empress Dowager Renxi said straight to the point.

"The ministers are deeply favored by the emperor, and serving the queen mother and the emperor is a matter for the courtiers, and it is categorically not hard." Lin Yiqing hurriedly spoke to her humbly and politely, which was very necessary in the court.

"Lin Hanpeng, what happened in Xinjiang, I think you also know it, if you go this time, can you calm it down without leaving home, just like the last time you pacified the rebellion in Xiangzhong?" The Empress Dowager Renxi was in a hurry for a while, and even told the "secret" that Lin Yiqing did not go to Hunan Province to supervise the "anti-decree". But as soon as the words came out, she realized that something was wrong, and couldn't help but quip, "Look at my mouth, I'm busy, and I'm talking about everything." ”

Lin Yiqing smiled slightly: "Back to the Empress Dowager's words, the rebellion in Xinjiang, the minister has already gotten some news, the scale of the rebellion is very large, and the rebels are all from the sect, the sect is out, and the anti-will is very strong, but its weapons and equipment are poor, the minister led 20,000 elite soldiers to go, and he will definitely be able to pacify it, but it can't be like the rebellion in Xiangzhong, before the minister left Beijing, the rebellious party will be exterminated by the army." ”

"Last time, it was not more than ten months, and the rebellious party was pacified, this time you said that the scale of the rebellion in Xinjiang was very large, so how long will it take to calm down the whole territory?" Empress Dowager Renxi asked again.

"If you go back to the queen mother, according to the ministers, you can calm down within half a year." Lin Yiqing replied.

Hearing Lin Yiqing say that the rebellion in the salary territory could be pacified within half a year, the Empress Dowager Renxi quietly glanced at the Empress Dowager Rentai.

"As long as it can be calmed down, Lin Hanpeng, you don't have to be in a hurry, if it takes a long time, it doesn't matter." Empress Dowager Rentai said.

"Lin Hanpeng, when Zuo Jigao raised an army of 100,000 to the west, the imperial court spent tens of millions of taels of silver, and it took more than a year to calm down, and now the chaos in Xinjiang is still very much in the past, you said that in half a year, 20,000 elite soldiers can be pacified, but is it true?" Empress Dowager Renxi stared at Lin Yiqing's eyes and asked.

"Back to the Queen Mother's words, what the minister said is true, but it has been carefully considered, and he will never dare to boast about Haikou and delay state affairs." Lin Yiqing replied, "Although the turmoil in Xinjiang is worse now than in those years, but I have been a great cadre for many years to set up foreign affairs, and there are many achievements in railway and telegraph ships, and now the railway can reach Lanzhou, compared with those years, the march is more convenient and fast, and the grain, grass and ordnance are also easy to transport, so there is no need for a 'slow advance and rapid battle' like the Zuo clan's westward expedition in those years, and the battle can be resolved quickly." Zuo's raised 100,000 soldiers at that time, in fact, there were only 20,000 real participants, and the rest were used to transport grain and grass. ”

After listening to Lin Yiqing's explanation, the two queen mothers suddenly became brighter, and their brows also relaxed.

"The Zuo clan spent a lot of military money back then, but it did not eradicate the root of the chaos, so that today there is a big chaos. The minister's visit this time will not cost much of the national money, according to the minister's calculation, there are eight million taels of silver, enough for the military. Lin Yiqing continued.

Hearing Lin Yiqing say that 8 million taels of silver could solve the problem, the Empress Dowager Renxi could be said to be overjoyed in her heart, but she was silent on the surface.

"Lin Hanpeng, I will prepare 10 million taels of silver for you as military expenses, within a year, you can let go and do it, and you must calm down the rebellion in the salary territory." Empress Dowager Renxi said.

"Thank you for the grace of the Queen Mother! The minister will live up to the high expectations of the Queen Mother! Lin Yiqing hurriedly replied.

"In addition to the military expenses, our sisters will help you watch, and no one will be allowed to hold you back." Empress Dowager Rentai said, "You can choose the generals you use.
