Chapter 525 Are these the important ministers of my Qing Dynasty?--
On the night when Liang Pengfei led troops to capture Tianjin City, several fast horses rushed into the peaceful capital. The news that Liang's army shelled the Dagu port fort, and then the army besieged Tianjin City was sent to Qianlong's desk less than half an hour after the fast horse messenger entered Yanjing City.
He hurriedly got up, wearing only a underwear and a silk coat. Qianlong looked at the emergency military situation in a daze. There was no words. Fu Long'an, the minister on duty of the military aircraft office in front of the case, knelt in front of the case, and his head was almost hanging next to the floor. Although his legs were sore, he did not dare to move at all. .
Just now, an eunuch brought hot tea and splashed two drops of tea on the imperial case. Qianlong, who had been in a daze in the emergency military situation, directly ordered the eunuch to be killed. Although the sad begging for mercy and howl just now had stopped, Fu Long'an felt that the dying howl of the eunuch was still echoing in his mind.
He Shen, with a haggard expression, was closing his eyes in the sedan chair. Listening to the extremely anxious urging of the guard outside the sedan chair, the sedan chair man had to grit his teeth and make the sedan chair go faster.
What happened? Even I had to rush to the palace. He Shen put his hand on his forehead and frowned and thought hard. These days, because of the death of He Lin, He Shen broke his heart in order to deal with He Lin's later life, and Qianlong was very considerate of the feelings between He Shen's brothers, so he specially allowed it. However, he never thought that Mao Dan, the eunuch in the palace, came to send the order in the middle of the night. Qianlong wanted to see him immediately, not a merchant. Quantity, but completely command.
The Mao Duan didn't even have time to drink a sip of tea. He left only a few bodyguards, so he hurriedly left and rushed to the Jiumen Admiral's mansion. He Shen asked Mao Duan, but the problem was that Mao Duan did not know what it was at all. He only knew that the emergency military report came from the direction of Tianjin. After that, Qianlong sat still and killed one. After the eunuchs, he ordered them to go out of the palace immediately and summon the ministers.
The sedan chair became more and more bumpy. He Shen put down his hand helplessly and raised the corner of the curtain of the sedan chair. He wanted to see where it had arrived, but he only felt a cold wind blowing, which made him shiver and shudder.
When He Shen rushed to the Yangxin Hall, he couldn't help but stop, because he saw many acquaintances. In addition to several military ministers and six ministers, almost all the ministers with military power in Beijing also came, which made He Shen's heart suddenly rise to his throat. What the hell is going on?
When he took a few steps forward, he saw the eunuch outside the Yangxin Hall and the corpse on the bench, his heart couldn't help beating wildly. He knew Qianlong's temper very well. He usually seemed to be very benevolent. In fact, the viciousness and cruelty in his bones were even called violent by scholars all over the world. Your Yongzheng. .
--------------------
Fu Long'an's legs could hardly find consciousness, and his body was completely supported by his hands to not fall to the ground. After a long time, the general eunuch Wang Jinbao stepped into the room tremblingly and quickly knelt on the ground and reported: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness has arrived, and the military aircraft office and the lord and the bodyguard minister. , the nine-door admiral, the leader of the left and right wing vanguard battalion, the commander of the Eight Banners... are also waiting for the summons outside the palace.
"Transmission!" Qianlong seemed to have finally regained his anger at this time. He moved his eyes and raised his head. His hoarse voice sounded like a rust sawing wood.
"The minister kowtows to the emperor Ama."
"The slave (I) kowtowed to the emperor." All the important ministers of the Qing Dynasty followed the prince Yong Yan and knelt neatly in front of the throne.
"Good, good, it's all here. Prince, come on, report this army to everyone. Qianlong raised his hand and threw the military newspaper that had been clenched in his hand on the throne. The eunuch next to him quickly reached out and picked it up and respectfully handed it to Prince Yongyan, who was still kneeling on the ground.
"...This, this, Huang Ama, how is this possible?!" Prince Yongyan's face changed greatly at the first sight of the military newspaper, and after that, he could no longer care that Qianlong was still sitting in front of him, and his exclamation almost broke through the roof of the Yangxin Hall.
The shock and panic of the shock, like a big earthquake, surrounded all the officials present. The expressions of the court ministers who were so angry were like seeing the private vendors of the city management patrols, and their faces were all distorted to the extreme.
"This news should not be fake. The messengers were injured, and one of them was injured. The imperial doctor diagnosed and treated him. He took out a warhead from his armor, which was the same as the fire bullets used by those Shanhaiguan Liang thieves." Fu Longan replied in astringent voice.
"Tianjin City has been besieged by an anti-thief cavalry, and on the surface of the water, there are countless high warships. The gunfire is so loud that it resounds for dozens of miles. If they hadn't found the cavalry surrounded outside Tianjin City in time, they would have fled along the path. I'm afraid they couldn't even send people and letters to the capital."
"Your Majesty, I thought that the general soldiers of the towns of Zhili should be mobilized to the King of Jingqin as soon as possible, so that the eight banners of the forbidden brigade that besieged Shanhaiguan should immediately return to the south to fight against the enemy."
"It's not appropriate. In this way, the world must be shaken. I thought that I should first send troops from the Beijing battalion to Tianjin, take advantage of the enemy to besiege Tianjin, and fight with the Tianjin soldiers Mali, and anniheze them in one fell swoop."
"Lord Fu, how many soldiers and horses do you think you should send to cooperate with the soldiers and horses of Tianjin to encircle and annihet those bold anti-thieves?"
"The anti-thieves come from afar. They are tired masters, and they are also sailors. Southerners are good at water but not good at riding. If the court sends a fine horse as the vanguard, they can wear it..."
Looking at this group of ministers kneeling in front of the throne and quarreling with each other, the words always contain the distribution of benefits, while some of them communicate secretly with a bellyful of ghosts, while some people put on a high-off expression.
"Are these the important ministers of the Qing Dynasty? ..." Qianlong felt that he was more tired than ever before, and he couldn't wait to close his eyes now and care about anything. However, when his eyes fell on the face of the helpless prince Yong Yan, he felt his helpless and anxious mood. Such a successor could really bear the responsibility for the big at such a time. Is it the responsibility of Qing Guoli to turn the tide? Obviously, this is impossible.
Bang! A harsh crisp sound was like a switch, which instantly extinguished all the noises in the hall. The important ministers who had just quarreled so loudly subconsciously looked up in astonishment and saw the broken porcelain on the ground. It was originally placed on the imperial case, and Qianlong's favorite tooth carving pen tube of the former Ming Dynasty "Bamboo Forest Seven Sages" was now It turned into fragments scattered on the ground.
And Qianlong stood behind the imperial case, and a pair of cold and vicious old eyes looked so bright at this moment, like a long knife that had just been quenched with blood, murderous.
Qianlong took a deep breath, and the sound made the temperature in the Yangxin Hall drop by a few minutes. The thief army entered Kou Zhili, and others are the pillar stone of the country, my scallopus, do not think about breaking the enemy's good policy, worry for me, and give advice for my Qing Dynasty. But I'm still fighting for power and profit here. Do you really think I'm deaf or blind?!"
"The death of the slave..." The ministers bowed to the ground in panic, and one of them were so frightened. But I have to say whether I think so in my heart. Those Hanchens are all rolling their eyes vigorously. Since the emergence of anti-thieves in Manchuria, it has been confirmed that it was a group of Han anti-thieves who killed General Jilin and his subordinates. These Han ministers, including Liu Yong, were isolated, or it should be said that they were deliberately alienated by those flag men and Mongolian ministers.
Although it is not obvious, Qianlong is still very close to them, but a Han old minister like Liu Yong, who has been fighting with He Shen for many years but still can't stand, can always feel it from the clues.
When Liang Pengfei rebelled against the Qing Dynasty in Guangdong and Guangxi and launched the banner of restoring China, the feeling of distrust was even more serious. First of all, more than 6,000 Han soldiers in the five-city patrol camp originally affiliated to the Admiral of Jiumen, that is, the Green Battalion, were placed in the towns outside the capital.
The defenders of the inner city were only flag people and Mongolians, and the green battalion soldiers were prohibited from entering and leaving the inner city. Although Liu Yong and other Han ministers strongly opposed it, Qianlong was always careless, and those Mengman ministers tried their best to stop them.
And Liu Yong once secretly visited Prince Yongyan's house to save the matter, but the next day, the prince was scolded by Qianlong and was punished for studying behind closed doors for ten days, and Liu Yong was also found by Qianlong and fined him for half a year. Therefore, Liu Yong still watched with great disappointment as all the green battalion soldiers left the inner city of the capital.
This is an extremely dangerous signal, which means that Qianlong has made it clear that he no longer trusts the Han people. Therefore, Liu Yong and other important ministers of the Han people have been doing things honestly during this period. No one dares to be a man, and he doesn't want to think more about the key things.
Today, they dare not, and do not want to talk more in front of Qianlong, who has become more and more moody in the past two years.
Qianlong looked at these buried ministers, and a depression in his heart made him feel that he could hardly suppress the madness in his heart.
"Hengrui!" After a long period of cold, Qianlong sat back on the throne.
"I'm there!" A Manchu general in front of the imperial case answered loudly with his head held high.
"I order you to transfer 500 cavalry in the cavalry camp and rush to Tianjin to detect the enemy's situation. If there is anything to do, you can fight with the Liang thieves outside the Tianjin soldiers in Mali. If the thieves are strong, find out the number of thieves and report immediately..."
The Fengtai battalion entered the city. All the eight banners of the forbidden brigades originally stationed outside the city entered the inner city of the Beijing division that night, cooperating with the troops and horses under the commander of Jiumen and Shen to guard the capital. On the same day, the rotation of all the bodyguards was cancelled, and all the soldiers and horses were dispatched to implement the ban.
In order to prevent the news from leaking and causing panic, all the ministers who arrived at the palace tonight were left in the palace. This was a night that made the emperors and courtiers in the Qing Dynasty panic, and the whole Yanjing City sounded. However, the night finally came to an end. And the dawn gradually brightened the east...
