XXXIV. Cases of Fraud in the Field (1)

The Zhu pen in the hand of Emperor Xianfeng seemed to have a thousand weights, trembling, and refused to fall on the British and French treaties, Xingzhen glanced at the emperor, slightly distressed, stepped forward and whispered: "The emperor ~" meaning to let himself sign, the emperor shook his head violently, quickly wrote two words, "according to the proposal" on the pen dropped, panting loudly, fine sweat on the forehead came out, the corners of the eyes were red, sitting on the kang without making a sound. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 info Xingzhen hurriedly asked Ruyi and Shuangxi to come in with a hot towel, Xingzhen personally held a handkerchief embroidered with a golden dragon to wipe the sweat on the emperor's head, the emperor sat dumbfounded, let Xingzhen do it, half silent, and waited until Xingzhen asked the little eunuch to take down the approved treaty, the emperor sighed, and said faintly: "Empress," Xingzhen responded, "Do you say that I am not a son of heaven?" ”

"How can the emperor say that?" Xingzhen hurriedly hugged the emperor's arm, "This is the number of days, it is not a crime of war, although the monk king has long been stationed at Dagukou, but the concubine looked at Tan Tingxiang's fold, it can be seen that the monk is still more confident in his cavalry, he doesn't understand naval warfare, he doesn't understand artillery battles, and it is inevitable to lose, but in the end he still holds Tianjin City!" If it weren't for this, even if Gui Liang and Qinghai died in front of foreigners, they would not be able to talk about such terms as they are now. "The historical Treaty of Tientsin compensated British merchants two million taels, British military expenses two million taels, and France halved; Now this version has been reduced to half, and in the opinion of the pragmatists themselves, this money is not much.

"But this foreign minister still has to be stationed in Beijing! Isn't that a puppet? The emperor became more and more frustrated, "I have already asked Gui Liang to deal with foreigners again, even if the customs tax is lower, it doesn't matter, only this one, it really can't be done!" ”

Xingzhen was silent, for later generations, it was too normal for the ambassador to be stationed in Beijing, Xingzhen persuaded this matter several times, but saw that the emperor still couldn't understand the meaning, so he stopped doing useless work. Xingzhen snorted and changed the subject, "The three million money is a little difficult to raise." ”

"Su Shun has a fold," the emperor said. The spirit was a little uplifted, not as depressed as Fang Cai, "I have thought of a lot of methods, I think it is feasible, and I have let him handle it." In any case, we can't lose the dignity of the Celestial Empire, and we must keep our word in the face of foreigners! ”

"Exactly, how can the monk be punished?" Xingzhen picked up the guilty plea of Monk Greenqin.

"Although the previous victories were against the thief," the Emperor was annoyed again, "this time I have lost face before the people of the worldβ€”I thought that I would let the monk Grinqin resist the foreigners in the north, and I will definitely punish him." ”

Before, it was obvious that you did not allow the monk Greenqin to shell the British and French troops cruising outside the Dagu Pass, and even Tan Tingxiang tried to force Chen to declare war on Britain and France, but the emperor did not allow it. If you don't fight, you can't pull down your face and ask for peace, which is why it has become what it is now. Xingzhen originally wanted to open her mouth to advise, but in a blink of an eye she thought of something else, her eyes rolled a few times, and she nodded: "What the emperor said is very true, the monk and the king are not good at doing their jobs, so naturally they have to apply for it, since he dares to despise muskets and artillery, why don't the emperor send him more muskets and artillery, and let him straighten out Dagukou from head to toe for the emperor." Let the emperor sit back and relax, and no longer be afraid of foreigners coming from the sea. ”

"The Empress is very right," the Emperor nodded, "and that's right. Let him wear the guilt and make meritorious service, and there is no need to go to Beijing to ask for the guilt, so let it be approved. ”

"Yes," Xingzhen picked up the pen and wrote down the punishment of Monk Lingqin, seeing that Emperor Xianfeng was still cowardly, she worked hard to make the emperor happy. "Don't worry, the emperor, if it weren't for the rampant rebellion, Zeng Guofan and others would not be able to go north to King Qin, how could foreigners be so proud? Please relax your heart, when the time comes, when Haiyu is calm, let's take care of the internal affairs of the family, and then wrestle with the foreigners, and we can naturally sign any treaty! ”

"Well, what the queen said is," the emperor was a little lazy, no longer the fighting spirit that Xingzhen encouraged the day, and was slumped on the back to the top in high spirits, "At present, this rebellion is indeed a problem for the henchmen, a few days ago, Zeng Guofan came to report, Wang Jinxiu conquered Lishui, Zuo Zongtang conquered Huzhou, Li Hongzhang has also surrounded Suzhou, Zeng Guofan's army has moved to Ma'anshan, Jiangbei and let Rong Lu go to Yangzhou to prevent rebellion across the river, Jiang Zhong sent troops from Luzhou Mansion to defend Jiangpu, Peng Yulin and Hu Linyi's sailors crossed the Yangtze River, It's also very good, a few days ago, the foreigners were disturbed, and the rewards for these people have not been decided, and now the matter with the foreigners is over, "The emperor hated, "There is always no place to bury the rebel, and when the time comes, Jiangning will be broken, and Hong Rebellion will definitely be cut by a thousand cuts!" "The emperor looked at the empress," Zeng Guofan's excerpt said very well, 'to besiege the country of Jinling, and to besiege the country of Jinling, and to Zhejiang belongs to Zuo Zongtang, Su belongs to Li Hongzhang, land belongs to Wang Jinxiu Ronglu, and waterway belongs to Hu Linyi Peng Yulin, so the southeast purge is settled.'" 'This strategy is excellent, or the queen, you are right, the affairs of Jiangnan must be unified in one person, in order to defeat the enemy, the queen, I dictate, you write, directly to the two rivers. ”

"Yes," Xingzhen calmly picked up the pen and waited for the emperor's edict, Xingzhen, who thought she would not be surprised, still made the emperor's generosity startled.

"Zeng Guofan controlled the military affairs of the two rivers, Zhejiang and Fujian, and supervised the military salaries of the two rivers and Zhejiang, and Fujian!"

"Hu Linyi is the acting governor of Huguang!"

"Zeng Guoquan awarded the political envoy of Jiangsu!"

"Zuo Zongtang is the governor of Zhejiang!"

"Li Hongzhang is the acting governor of Jiangsu!"

"Peng Yulin awarded the Yangtze River Commander Admiral!"

"Rong Lu awarded the governor of Jiangsu!"

The rest of the departments have their own rewards, and the emperor called Xingzhen to see those rewards below the second grade, "Queen, you look at it, and it is appropriate for each person to be promoted to one and a half levels, and then send it to the military aircraft to let the military aircraft draw up the decree." ”

"Yes, the emperor is really generous," Xingzhen put down the imperial pen stained with cinnabar, and couldn't help but greatly appreciate the emperor's courage, it seems that the emperor was indeed stimulated by the alliance under the city, and took out high-ranking officials and strong power to reward him, "Regardless of Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang has gone from a cloth cloth to a feudal official in a few years, if it weren't for the emperor's eclectic talent, how could Zuo Zongtang rise to the top?" ”

"At present, the situation is turbulent, the country is at the time of employing people, I have to be like this, I must be promoted again and again, meritorious service must be rewarded, and there must be punishment, so that the soldiers can use their lives and the people will return to their hearts," Emperor Xianfeng squinted his eyes and said, very satisfied with Xingzhen's compliment, and gritted his teeth and said a huge painting cake: "Also, add one more sentence: 'The king of Jinling! (To be continued.) )

PS: In a famine year, farmers report the disaster to the government. When the official asked how much wheat was harvested, he replied, "Only three points of the harvest." When he asked about the cotton harvest, he replied, "There are only two harvests." When asked about the rice harvest, he replied, "There are only two parts of the harvest." The official master was very angry: "There are seven points of harvest, and you still come to fabricate the underharvest!" The peasant was so angry and amused that he said, "I have lived more than 100 years, and I have never seen such a great famine." The official asked, "How can you be more than 100 years old?!" The farmer replied, "I'm in my 70s, my eldest is in his 40s, and my second son is in his 30s. When he said this, he burst into laughter.
