Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 243

Inside the Forbidden City.

The outside world is the fourth year of the Ming Dynasty's revival.

At this time, it was the 59th year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty.

Although the fifteenth elder brother has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor under the support of his ministers, he has not had time to take any title.

The fifteenth old Aixinjueluo Yongyan sat on the throne with a gloomy face. This chair used to be his dream, but now it makes him restless.

The news brought back by some Eight Banners soldiers and officers who escaped from the front proved one thing: his Emperor Ama, Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty was really captured alive by the Ming army! !
And in Beijing.

It is almost a certainty that the supporters behind Kong Qingrong and Dong Gao, who helped the old seventeen get up to fight with him, are the sons of the Ming Dynasty—now the so-called Shenggong Army has publicly displayed the sun and moon flags. Thousands of households in Jinyiwei have become temporary middle and high-level officers of an army.Both the Shandong regiment training and the Zhili regiment training are firmly under control.

In addition, the Han people in the capital, from the gentry to the common people, knew that the Ming Dynasty was back, and now they made it clear that they didn't want to follow the declining Qing Dynasty, and they all took refuge in the Seventeenth—that is, the Ming Dynasty.

And it's even worse.

Not just Han Chinese.

Even the Bannerman has quite a few votes for Old Seventeen.
The situation is really too bad. Although I became the emperor, but no matter how I look at it, the emperor was brought up to bear the blame, that is, the blame of the subjugated king of the Qing Dynasty, and it is very likely that I will bear the blame on myself up!
Why is Kong Qingrong so blind, why didn't he look for him in the first place?

It's so embarrassing now.

"Your Majesty, none of the people we sent out to contact Guihua City came back."

He Shen and his younger brother He Lin came in a hurry.

The two brothers are now the foreman of the Qing Dynasty, one civil and one military.

But the Qing Dynasty is about to disband, so the two brothers don't seem to be too excited.

If there is a way out for Aixinjueluo Yongyan, it is to go to Guihua City.

There are more than 60 Eight Banners citizens there.

In addition, Le Bao, the governor of the Western Regions, had [-] soldiers, and more than [-] bannermen and Han people in settlements.

If he could escape, there might be a future for the emperor of the Western Qing Dynasty.

But now the Forbidden City has become a prison instead.

And up to now, the Son of Heaven has no intention of sending anyone to surrender.

Could it be that the Emperor of Heaven is going to slaughter the Eight Banners?

It can be said that this idea haunts the heads of all the Eight Banners in the Forbidden City, like a nightmare.

Yongyan looked at He Shen, and said helplessly: "The Ming army has blocked the way to the north, what should we do now? How many troops are there?"

He Lin took a step forward and said, "Now there are 60 bannermen and 8 soldiers in the Forbidden City. If all the men who can hold swords and guns are counted, there will be another [-] to [-]. It's just that the number seems quite large, but But it's of no use."

"Why?" Yong Yan raised his head and looked at He Lin, "Emperor Taizu's thirteenth vice-armor raised troops to fight against the Ming Dynasty, but now I have hundreds of thousands of bannermen."

"The times are different. At that time, there were bandits in the Ming Dynasty, border troubles outside, disasters all the year round, and no money from the local tyrants in the south of the Yangtze River. How could it not perish?" He Lin shook her head and said, "But now the Ming Dynasty has strong Soldiers can draw huge wealth from the sea trade to raise soldiers. In addition, fighting wars is not the era of proficiency in bows and horses, but the era of muskets and cannons. Your Majesty, don't look at how many we can mobilize now. Thousands of soldiers come, but how many rounds of bombardment can these tens of thousands of soldiers withstand?"

The old fifteen sighed: "Then what should we do now, many banner people have gone to the old seventeen's side now."

He Shen and He Lin looked at each other, but did not speak.

Let alone an ordinary bannerman.

Even He Shen himself exchanged all his wealth into Ming Yuan and deposited it in the Daming Royal Bank.
The Qing Dynasty is coming to an end, and anyone can see it.

If Emperor Qianlong was still alive, he would still be able to take everyone to the west to make a living.

But now that Qianlong was arrested, the two princes of the Qing Dynasty were fighting.

What future is there then?

So even if they are all bannermen, it is time for everyone to find their own way out.

"Brother Chongru, I think back when you were in Donghua Gate and you were a Jinshi in high school. I was only a teenager at that time. I really envied seeing my brother riding a horse into the palace."

In Liu Yong's mansion in the capital.

Ji Yun and Ji Xiaolan obviously drank a little too much.

His complexion became a little rosy.

The two old men slumped on the chairs and began to think about the past.

"Yes, yes. You won the Jinshi in a few grades." Liu Yong said with emotion.

"Time flies, and more than 70 years have passed."

The two sighed.

"Seeing this prosperous world, it suddenly collapsed," Ji Yun said with emotion.

Liu Yong shook his head: "How can it be considered a prosperous age if it can collapse so easily. But it's good. At least there is no bloody corpse."

The two couldn't help but fell silent.

At their level, there are actually not many choices.

The most appropriate way is to retire.

This is also the practice of most of the old officials in the previous dynasties.

It's just that now that the old emperor of the Qing Dynasty has been arrested, and two new emperors have appeared, the situation seems a little chaotic for a while.

"Now it depends on the future of these million banner people, but recently many people have taken refuge with Old Seventeen." Ji Yun said.

"It's just human nature." Liu Yong shook his head.

These bannermen are also human beings, and it's not true that everyone is a loyal servant of the Aixinjueluo family.

But minions are for the good.

It's no good who would be a slave with all his heart.

Ji Xiaolan was silent for a moment, then said: "That's right, maybe the future of the Bannerman will have to fall with Old Seventeen."

"Although it is a puppet that was lifted up, since the Son of Heaven wants to use a puppet, it at least shows that he still gave these millions of banner people a way to survive."

Where is the way to live for the Bannermen?

Qianlong's seventeenth son, Yonglin, was the last hope of many bannermen.

Since the Son of Heaven supports Yonglin, it means that the Son of Heaven wants to use the Bannermen and the Eight Banners. If the Eight Banners are useful, there is a way to survive!
So in the past few days, many banner people have sneaked to the old seventeen's side.

But now in Aixinjueluo Yonglin's place, it's not the Seventeenth Prince who has the final say.

Not even Yan Sheng Gong Kong Qingrong and Minister of Military Aircraft Dong Gao.

It was Wang Dingjia and Fang Ke, the two commanders of Jin Yiwei.

The two of them can now be said to have made great contributions.

Not only did he control an army of tens of thousands of people, but he also helped Daming basically keep the city of Beijing.

Just rely on this credit.

Both of them have a future for Lord Hou.

However, both of them are still young, and they are still actively seeking progress before they lie down.

Especially the meaning of the emperor came from above.

The emperor appreciated their actions very much, and gave them a new task: gather the banner people as much as possible, and don't let the banner people escape.

But how to deal with these banner people who have taken refuge.

The emperor didn't say it clearly.

"Commander Wang, would you like me to meet with Da Mingzi?"

The seventeenth elder brother Aixinjueluo Yonglin asked in disbelief.

"Naturally, Seventeenth Lord, don't think that going to Tianjin is to surrender, you can't save your face, this is your chance!"

"Chance?"

"Isn't it? You see that so many bannermen are coming to you now, why do you think they come to take refuge in you?"

Yonglin's face changed slightly.

Of course he knew why.
Because he is the puppet of Da Ming Zi!

Now with him.

Not to mention him, even Kong Qingrong and Dong Gao couldn't talk much.

Because the "Shenggong Army" was basically controlled by the thousand and one hundred households of Daming Jinyiwei.

And the leaders and soldiers of the Shandong regiments and Zhili regiments heard that the Ming court had come to recruit Zhao'an, and one or two happily cut off their braids.

Especially those Shandong soldiers.

They thought they were following the Qing court to suppress the rebellion, and they might not be able to get an official position or something from the Qing court.

As a result, the Qing Dynasty itself became a rebel force.

Fortunately, things turned around.

The Ming Dynasty has come to ask for peace!
What are you waiting for?

People in Shandong like Zhao'an the most.

Now this army is loyal to Daming from top to bottom, Yonglin can't command at all, he is just a puppet brought out to fight the old fifteen.

And those bannermen came to seek refuge.

It's not because his seventeenth elder brother is more wise and powerful than his fifteenth elder brother, but because of his status as a puppet.

In a word.

Now the banner people are all afraid of being beaten, and they are all afraid of being wiped out by Ming Dynasty.

So everyone regards the old Seventeen as a life-saving straw.
Kong Qingrong and Dong Gao looked at each other, but didn't say anything, sitting in this position, they actually made up their minds to make up their minds?
It's just that I am a courtier of the Qing Dynasty, so I have a bad reputation for taking the initiative to seek refuge.

But if the emperor of the Qing Dynasty voted himself, and then voted along with him, wouldn't he be counted as a second minister?
Yonglin was silent for a moment, then said: "Okay, I'll go to Tianjin to meet the emperor!"

This statement came out.

Everyone present could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It seems that the Seventeenth Master still knows what it means to be a hero who knows current affairs.
