Seeing that no objection was raised, the resolution to impose a ban on the sea was finalized. The Empress Dowager felt that this matter was not bad, at least it could save a lot of military expenses for rebuilding the water division, and the imperial court could use this money to continue to strengthen the most important army. Jiangnan officialdom clamored for a cense, and the imperial court could not find an excuse to oppose it.

In the final analysis, the rulers of the Qing court were a small people, and they could not replenish the manpower they needed at any time, and the only way was to raise the flag of the Han Chinese. And now the identity of the flag man is very valuable, and the court is not willing to give it casually. Since the Qing court entered the customs, it has been relying on the Han people to fight the Han people, and now the imperial court is not only unable to provide troops to Huguang and Liangjiang, but also continues to collect grain and grass from there, so the governors are all people who can be used at the moment, at least they did not ask for the king, as long as the provinces south of the Yangtze River can still supply grain and grass to Beijing and pay taxes, the court feels that it has to temporarily delegate power to them.

"In the opinion of Wei Chen, the top priority is to rebuild the green battalions in Shandong and Henan, and if there are police in the southeast in the future, troops can be sent from these two places to reinforce." Sun Tingquan pointed out that although there have been wars over the years, the imperial court has been trying to transport money and grain from the local treasury to Jingshi, and now the materials accumulated in the treasury are about enough for the state to use for three years; Not long ago, Dasu reported to the imperial court that he had heard that Zheng Chenggong had died, and that the emperor's goal of asking them to exterminate Zheng Chenggong had been achieved, or could not be completed, so he asked to return to Beijing. The ministers present all knew that Zheng Chenggong was most likely not dead, but Dasu had already lost the green shadows of Henan and Shandong, and there was nothing to do if he did not return to Beijing. Sun Tingquan advocated increasing the allocation of funds to Shandong and Henan, so as to restore the strength of the green battalion in these two provinces, so that in the future, whether it was to support Hubei or assist in the defense of the two rivers, the imperial court would not fall into the dilemma of having no troops to use.

The ministers discussed the amount of appropriation and decided on the matter. As for Dasu, let him stay in Fujian for a few more days, and then quietly return with the remaining one or two thousand Manchurian Eight Banners unknowingly.

"One more thing," After most of the simple questions were dealt with, the Empress Dowager finally came up with the most difficult question: "Prince Kang, they said that they should quickly send a large army into Sichuan to exterminate the Deng thief and avenge the first emperor, what do you think?" ”

Now the Empress Dowager of course hates Deng Ming to the core, and she can't wait to break his body into ten thousand pieces immediately, but Sichuan is too far away, and the transfer of materials is quite inconvenient. At the previous imperial meeting, everyone had reached a consensus on the strategy for the next two years, that is, to wait and see the changes, not to raise troops because of anger - now the momentum of the Ming army has come up, and the situation of Li Dingguo is somewhat similar, when Hong Chengchou gave the Qing court a solid defense, and can even give up a territory, so that the Ming army wants to fight but cannot fight, and when the Qing army recovers from the shadow of defeat, everyone gradually forgets the victory of the Ming army, and then fights with it.

Previously, the Empress Dowager and the important ministers planned to do the same, first calm down for two years, recuperate and then fight with Deng Ming, and at that time they also had the political capital to implement this strategy. However, after the outbreak of the "Kangxi" case, the royalists were in a very disadvantageous position, and now if the imperial court shows weakness, it is easy to give the prince's faction an excuse to attack.

"This is Prince Kang's recital, Sony, take a look." After the Empress Dowager finished speaking, she asked a eunuch to hand the piece of Jieshu to Sony.

Sonny was not interested in the impassioned preface, he quickly moved his gaze to the second half of the recital, and as he expected, Jieshu was only the leader, and there were a large number of princes and ministers behind him, who asked in unison to smash Deng Ming's lair and capture him back in front of the tomb of the former emperor with a thousand knives, in order to comfort the soul of the blessed in heaven.

"It is a pleasure to catch a thousand knives, but the road from Sichuan to Beijing is far away, and the night is long and dreamy, in the opinion of a slave, after catching Deng Ming, he should be executed immediately, and the former emperor also meant this." After the First World War of Gaoyou Lake, rumors about Deng Ming's name as Mugol spread even more. There are two very suspicious points, one is that Deng Ming was willing to accept the surrender of the Praetorian Guards, and later released them unharmed, but he resolutely refused to accept the surrender of Shunzhi. Coincidentally, Shunzhi once ordered Li Guoying to be executed immediately after catching Deng Ming, these two things are enough to make the banner people think about it; Second, the Eight Banners of Mongolia quickly turned against the imperial camp, Deng Ming not only did not force all the Mongols to go into battle together, but also made them put on double heavy armor, and everyone had never heard of anyone who cherished the lives of prisoners so much. Thinking of Mugol's mother from the Golden Family and was once the widow of Lin Dan Khan, it made everyone even more confused.

It's about the royal **, of course, Sony can't ask who the Empress Dowager Deng Ming is. Sony's execution of Deng Ming's Jian yì is not abrupt, Sichuan is a long way from Beijing, if you kill Deng Ming and bring back the head, you can pay tribute to the emperor, and this is still an order given by the emperor. However, this is not the point, the point is that Sony did not oppose the attack on Sichuan at all, but talked about the execution of Deng Minghou after seizing it.

"What you mean is that the mourning family can't understand," the Empress Dowager was a little overwhelmed when she listened. The last time this matter was discussed, Sony analyzed why he couldn't immediately seek revenge on Deng Ming, but it was methodical, and the Empress Dowager asked, "Why did you change your mind again?" Didn't you say that now is not a good time to attack Sichuan? ”

The minion admitted that there would be a lot of trouble in attacking Sichuan, and that money, food, and how many reinforcements should be sent to Li Guoying needed to be carefully considered. But the slave thought that if he learned that the Deng thief was ambushed, the emperor would be very pleased. And, just in case, it's better to kill him as soon as you catch him. Sonny said that he would not take the lead in vetoing the music of the book.

"Nonsense!" Ao Bai scolded in his heart: "Killing Deng Ming, of course the emperor will be very pleased, but the problem now is that we should not rush to fight at all, and there is no need to crusade against Sichuan immediately." ”

Ao Bai once asked Shunzhi privately about Deng Ming's identity, and that time he was reprimanded by Shunzhi, not only was he scolded for a dog blood spray, but Shunzhi was angry and hated, and grabbed the stick next to him and beat Ao Bai. Ao Bai knew that Shunzhi had secretly investigated the matter, and heard that he also asked a few of Mugol's old guards for questioning, but these guards disappeared from the world afterwards. Although Shunzhi said that Mugol was by no means a fraudulent death, Ao Bai did not dare to believe it, and he was not sure whether the Empress Dowager knew about it.

The Empress Dowager and Sony replied a few words, but they still couldn't get the point, Sony refused to deny the crusade against Sichuan no matter what, and the Empress Dowager moved her eyes to Ao Bai again.

"It's still a scrap of money and food

Yes, although he sent a lot of money and grain to the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi in the past year, Li Guoying probably did not have the strength to capture Chengdu alone and capture Deng Ming. And at the moment, there are no troops in the Beijing division that can be sent to Sichuan......" Hearing Ao Bai say this, the Empress Dowager's eyes lit up, thinking that Ao Bai was going to talk about why Jieshu's plan would not work, but Ao Bai changed his words: "But the Shanxi Green Battalion can be mobilized, and the slaves dare not say how many people Shanxi can send, and I don't know if it is enough." ”

The prince's faction strongly advocated the extermination of Deng Ming, and under the banner of avenging the emperor, occupied the commanding heights of public opinion and morality. Sony refused to say a bad word about this plan, and Ao Bai didn't dare, Ao Bai lightly mentioned the problem of insufficient troops, and dared to say so in a dangerous situation, Ao Bai thought that he was worthy of the Empress Dowager.

Ao Bai has already made a start, and then he needs to be helped by others, and now he needs to be in the same boat, and he can't let Ao Bai carry the black pot alone, so he immediately kicked the ball to Sukh Saha - this is a good pass, and then Shuk Saha needs to complete the final kick: "Shanxi's troops Su Ke Saha knows very well that he was responsible for inspecting the armaments of Shanxi's green battalion last year." ”

"Uh-huh." Everyone's eyes were focused on Suke Saha's body, which made him feel like he was thorned in the back: "Shanxi's troops are very rich, and at least 30,000 green battalions can be dispatched to reinforce the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi. As soon as he said this, Sukh Saha saw Aobai's eyebrows rise upside down, and his eyes erupted with a murderous light.

"But Shanxi is really rich in troops, if I say with a clear conscience that there are no soldiers in Shanxi, then the people outside will not eat me?" Sukh Saha cried out in his heart, he was now trying to hide behind Sonny and Aobai, not wanting to attract the attention of the prince's faction. Now, if Sukh Saha deliberately lies to prevent the imperial court from avenging Shunzhi—what kind of behavior is this? And what kind of associations will it arouse?

"Of course, Shanxi's troops need to be used to guard against the Mongols." Sukh Saha couldn't bear the fierce light shot by Aobai, and said tremblingly: "In the end, whether the Mongols will take the opportunity to make trouble, this servant thinks that Lord Kupilon knows best. ”

After making a short pass to Suppilon, Sukh Saha hurriedly lowered his head, although Ao Bai did not shoot just now, he still controlled the ball on the goal line, and Sukh Saha had a little intention of clearing the opponent, and the ball returned to the edge of the penalty area from the goal line. Sukh Saha was a little ashamed, and he silently recited in his heart: "I did my best, as long as Kubilong said that the Mongols need to be on guard, the Shanxi Green Camp can't be transferred lightly." ”

"Suppilon! Curb Pilon! The Empress Dowager waited for a long time, but she didn't see Ji Bilong picking up the stubble, and couldn't help but shout: "The mourning family asked you, what do you say?" ”

"This ......" Kupilon asked himself if the three auxiliary ministers in front of him were not against sending troops, and even hinted that this plan was feasible, what did he do when he jumped out to prevent the revenge of the emperor? Do you want to run to the front row and give them three arrows?

"The minions thought that the Mongols were loyal to the imperial court." With a flying kick, Suppilon kicked the ball straight from the opposition penalty area back into midfield.

As soon as Kubilong's words came out, almost all the Han people scolded in their hearts: "It's too shameless to lose that you are still a cronie of Huang Qi!" ”

That is, now, if the Empress Dowager was young, it is estimated that she would have picked up a stick and slashed it at the four auxiliary ministers. She is a Mongolian woman, married Huang Taiji at the age of twelve, and her husband specially invited a teacher to teach her, so that she learned to read and write, and learned some etiquette; Until after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, whenever something went wrong, she, as the queen mother, scolded with swear words and beat people without a head; That is, in recent years, life has become more and more comfortable, especially when she is the queen mother, she has learned to "mourn her family" one by one, and when she is angry, she can also hold back her temperament a little, so as not to throw foul language at the heads of the ministers like thunder.

"What about you?" The Empress Dowager looked at those Hanchen with displeasure. She knew very well that none of the ministers wanted to carry the black cauldron, and hoped that the Empress Dowager would veto Prince Kang's recital with a word. But the Empress Dowager also has difficulties, the rumors not only say that Deng Ming is Mugol, but also rumors that Deng Ming is the seed of the Empress Dowager and Prince Rui; Some banner people feel that if it weren't for the Empress Dowager Tongdeng, then Deng Ming would definitely not say that the new emperor's era name was "Kangxi", after all, this era name still had to be decided by the Empress Dowager.

The Hanchen began to speak one by one, either that the imperial court had money and grain, or that the Yellow River transportation was quite convenient, in a word, none of them would say that Prince Kang's recital was not feasible, and also said that the green camp in Shanxi was transferred to cooperate with Li Guoying, and Deng Ming would definitely be killed. The auxiliary ministers are all rough-skinned and thick-skinned, especially Na Aobai and Sonny, and now their bodies are full of arrows, and they are still alive, and Hanchen doesn't dare to learn from them - neither the prince nor the auxiliary ministers are opposed to avenging the emperor, did they eat the bear's heart and leopard's gall to stop it?

"I respectfully invite the Empress Dowager to be judged." The four auxiliary ministers and the Hanchen knelt on the ground. They have said everything they should say, if the Empress Dowager still does not agree to crusade against Sichuan, it has absolutely nothing to do with them.

The Empress Dowager's fingers trembled: "If I reject this fold, what will the bastards outside say about me, an old woman?" ”

"You dog minions!" The Empress Dowager couldn't hold back any longer, got up from her seat, and scolded with her halberd fingers: "I killed my own son, and I still want to go my own way and prevent you loyal ministers from avenging the emperor?" ”

"The Empress Dowager is angry." Seeing that the Empress Dowager was really angry, the people at the imperial meeting hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately.

"Rest the wrath, what the wrath!" There is no impermeable wall in the world, and after hearing the reports of various gossip circulating outside, the Empress Dowager was so angry that she almost didn't turn her back on the spot. These useless things, I don't know who leaked the news, how did Deng Ming learn the whereabouts of the emperor and the name of the new emperor, and killed her own son. Now the ministers refuse to tell the truth one by one, and they actually ask her to carry the black cauldron: "You don't want to carry this black cauldron, that old lady!" Are you willing to memorize it? ”

Sony: "......"

Aobai: "......"

Sukh Saha: "......"

Suppilon: "......"

"Let's fight! went to fight Sichuan, and the old lady agreed. This excerpt is accurate! ”
