"Hehe, hehe...... Haha......"

In the Forbidden City of Xining, in the Xinuan Pavilion of the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, Yi Su was unfolding a newspaper, the corners of his mouth were always upturned, and he laughed heartily from time to time. A beautiful girl in flag dress was on the side, looking at this Aixin Jueluo who looked a little frustrated with affectionate eyes. Yi Su is also the newly baked Emperor Xianfeng of the Qing Dynasty and Tugmore Erbert Khan. She is the concubine who has just been crowned by Yi Su, and she is the new secretary of the ministry. Muyana's daughter is only 16 years old this year.

"This Zhu Wei has been saying 'middle school-oriented, Western learning for use', and now the fox's tail is exposed, right? Obviously, the middle school is the skin, and the Western study is the inside, but now I don't even want the skin, first I added the Western school to the imperial examination, and then I limited it to age, cutting off the road to the promotion of most of the scholars in the world, and then I will probably abolish the imperial examination......"

Yi Su put down the "Qingliu Bao" in his hand, and the joy in his tone could not be concealed.

"This is self-isolation from the world's scholars, and this is to force everyone in the world to return to my Qing Dynasty. This time, the people who read the world should regret it...... With the support of the world's scholars, I will not be worried about the Qing Dynasty, and I will not be able to destroy the Ming Dynasty and the Guangdong bandits! ”

He shook his head and picked up another copy of "Qingliu Bao", like Yi Xin, "Qing Liu Bao" is also the only Ming newspaper that Yi Xin likes to read. Although this newspaper never said good things about the Qing Dynasty, it often attacked the dark side of the capitalist Ming society, so the Jin merchants who knew how to do business would specially select those newspapers that portrayed the Ming society as the blackest and trafficked them to Xining to sell for a lot of money.

"This Li Zongxi is indeed righteous and daring, pointing out the truth that the Ming is not as clear as the Qing! Today's anti-Ming New Deal is based on the blood and sweat of the people. It is said that the reverse Ming is the smell of Zhumen's wine and meat. It is not an exaggeration to say that there are frozen bones on the road. Where is it like the Qing Dynasty, when the people lived in peace. There is nothing to do in the world. ”

In fact, the working people were even more miserable in the Qing Dynasty, but the miserable working people of the Qing Dynasty were all nested in their hometowns and could not get out. Even the international community knows that there are many poor people in the Ming Dynasty, and the gap between the rich and the poor is wide.

Previously the Russian adviser Count Yakovlev told him. When Zhu Ming had at least 500,000 new-style troops, Yi Su was still nervous, and hesitated for a long time on the question of whether to ascend the throne and become emperor. Now seeing the news that the people of Daming are struggling and the people are displaced, a hanging heart has finally been put down.

Of course, he still didn't dare to go east to the Central Plains. His current abacus is to replicate the scene when the Qing Dynasty entered the customs and took over the world. First raised the flag in the northwest, and then constantly knocked on the border to invade the border, burning, killing and looting, so that the northwest of the Ming Dynasty was not peaceful, and military spending was rising. Exorbitant taxes were also levied more and more, which eventually led to civil unrest......

It's just that...... That Zhu Ming's army was strong after all. What if the army he sent to Lu met the elite of the Ming army and let them be wiped out?

Yi Su was worried about this, so he did not wave his army eastward since he became emperor, let alone invade the Ming Dynasty, even the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom on the east bank of the Yellow River did not touch.

You still have to be cautious...... Even the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is also very difficult to deal with, and the lessons of the Battle of Huaxian are so profound that it is best not to act rashly before finding out their details. Yi Su admonished himself.

"Yo, Master Qi, why are you always running out of breath, you are old, how can you be good if you fall?"

Then the Minister of Military Aircraft, the university scholar Qi Liaozao asked to see, and the old man seemed to have trotted in all the way, panting and sweating all over his face.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong, something is big, the Hetao police, and the Ming Rebellion Miao Peilin Department is marching towards Guihua City and Suiyuan City!"

The Mongols in the Hetao area were still a bit pro-Manchu, and after Yisu became emperor, the Yikezhao League Jinong (deputy Khan, the title of the leader of the Yikezhao League) and the seven banners of Zasak all sent envoys to pay tribute. Moreover, Guisui Dao, which originally belonged to the jurisdiction of the governor of Shanxi, did not enter the territory of the Ming Dynasty at this time, but formed an alliance with the Yikezhao League, and still maintained a pro-Manchu position. After Yi Su became emperor, he also sent Xu Jishe to Guisui as the governor of Shanxi.

"What!? Is the reverse Ming going to take the river loop? After taking the Hetao, they won't kill Xining, right? ”

Yi Su asked in surprise, now what he is most afraid of is of course that the Ming army is coming to the Hexi Corridor from the Hetao area, and the Han people in the Hexi Corridor are looking forward to this day for a long time, and once the Sun and Moon Tonghui Banner cross the Yellow River, the national Zuo of the Western Qing Dynasty will come to an end.

Qi Liaozao shook his head, "I won't come to Xining, Your Majesty, there is still a Taiping Heavenly Kingdom between us and Daming!" However, as soon as the Hetao is lost, the communication between you and the Khalkha Mongols and the Fourth Master will be cut off......"

His face looked extremely anxious, obviously not all for Miao Peilin's march to Guisui, but worried about his sixth brother Qi Suzao's family, Qi Suzao listened to his words and "lurked" to wait for an opportunity. A while ago, Qi Suzao also asked someone to carry a letter saying that he was planning to force Miao Peilin against. But now that Miao Peilin is an orthodox soldier coming west, this shows that he is still in power, so is Qi Suzao ......

At this moment, Yi Su's order interrupted Qi Liaozao's thoughts: "Master Qi, hurry up and invite the Russian advisor Count Yakovlev into the palace, and then call King Hui, Shu Xing'a, Sa Ying'a, and Changshou." Then send fast horses into Tibet and recruit monk Greenqin to come to Xining. ”

Prince Hui Mianyu, the military department Shangshu Shu Xing'a, the official department Shangshu Sa Ying'a and the guard minister Guerjia. Changshou and the others are the same as Qi Liaozao, they are all ministers of military aircraft, among which Mianyu is the foreman of the military aircraft and also has the errand of the household department. The five military planes arrived at the Yangxin Hall in a short time, and the Russian adviser, Count Yakovlev, had also arrived, and he had been in Xining for some days and already spoke Chinese, so he did not bring anything with him.

"Although the gun factory in Xining has been able to cast 12-pound copper cannons and smoothbore guns under the guidance of Russian consultants, the craftsmen are not skilled, the quantity is small, and the supply of raw materials is insufficient, so the output is very low, and it is the limit to be able to make 150 cannons and 20,000 foreign guns within a year."

"The New Army of the Eight Banners has been practicing day and night under the supervision of Russian instructors, but the number of people is limited after all, and it is difficult to fight with the Han people, and I am afraid that the gains outweigh the losses."

"The Seven Banners of the Ordos Mongols (Yikezhao League) have always been the grass on the wall, and now that Zhu is reversing the trend, they will definitely be attached soon, and they will not be able to wait for our army to come to the aid ......"

The words of the ministers of the military aircraft were pouring cold water on Xianfeng, pouring down pots and basins, Emperor Xianfeng's face turned blue, and he sat on the dragon chair without saying a word, and the little good mood when he read the newspaper just now was gone.

Zhu Ming has lost the hearts of the people in the Central Plains, but he is still blindly reckless, and he will definitely not be able to last long. But the military planes of the Qing Dynasty were already frightened, not to mention the counterattack on the Central Plains, and they didn't even dare to rescue the Yike Zhao League! This Yike Zhaomeng is a courtier of the Qing Dynasty, when the master sees that the courtier is killed by someone, there is no sound, who will follow in the future?

He looked at the Russian adviser, the tall bearded Cossack, but Count Yakovlev replied more directly that the Russian Empire would not support any military adventure east of the Yellow River. And he does not recognize the so-called "Qing Empire", and hopes that Yixu will not use this country name externally, and it is best to call himself the Western Qing Dynasty, so as not to provoke Zhu Jishi.

Yi Su thought angrily: "It's useless for me to change the name of the Great Qing Dynasty to Western Xia, then Zhu Jishi will still have to go on an expedition to Qinghai sooner or later!" ”

Here, Qi Liaozao said: "The current situation is critical, even if it does not help build the Hetao, the imperial court should deploy defenses in the west of the river, and then send an envoy to contact Kulun to echo the situation." At the same time, they may send envoys to seek peace with the heavens. ”

Everyone echoed it, it was impossible to go thousands of miles to help the Hetao, and no one dared to go. Now what we have to think about is to defend the west of the river, and we have to defend it while seeking peace. Not only did several military ministers mean this, but even the Russian adviser Count Yakovlev also said so, and said that he could mediate from it to promote the Western Qing Dynasty to become a vassal to the Ming Dynasty.

Yi Su was so helpless that he could only pinch his nose and agree to Count Yakovlev's request, and sent Qi Liaozao as an envoy to Hetao with gifts and a letter of state asking for peace and being a minister. At the same time, he sent Changshou to Kulun and sent an envoy to Tibet to transfer the monk Greenqin to Hexi to command the defense. But he would never have thought that the envoy sent by Zhu Jishi, Zhang Jiahu Tuketu, had already arrived in Lhasa at this time. (To be continued......)
