Road to Shunzhi

Chapter 102

The Burmese troops retreated steadily.Originally, the mountain road was rough and difficult to walk, there were many dense forests, and there was miasma. Wu Sangui's red cannon was heavy and heavy, and it was extremely inconvenient to transport.But now that Wu Sangui has the support of Fulin, the small and easy-to-use Franco cannons are continuously transported to Yunnan through special channels, and then put on the battlefield against Burma.

Don't bring such a bully!Mangbai was almost beaten to tears.Myanmar is still relatively strong in combat effectiveness among Southeast Asian countries, mainly because it has an elephant team.The elephant's huge body can scare the war horses into shivering.However, Wu Sangui, who owns the Frang machine gun, is different.The Francophone is small in size and easy to transport. The smallest one can even be carried on the shoulder. When it hits the machine, it suddenly makes a loud noise and bursts into flames.After the elephants are frightened, the elephant slaves can't control them at all. The elephants will lose their way in an instant, run to their own team, roar and trample.

Therefore, when fighting against Wu Sangui's firearms team, Myanmar could not use the elephant team, but their cavalry and infantry were not strong enough, and the only advantage was that they fought at home.The Burmese soldiers and civilians were still very united in the face of foreign invasions, and practiced many strange tactics, such as guerrilla warfare, hiding in the jungle, and shooting cold arrows at Wu Sangui's troops.Although these brought a lot of troubles to Wu Sangui's aggression, they still couldn't stop him from moving forward.In November, Wu Sangui had already occupied half of Myanmar.

Mangbai was completely disappointed.He asked Siam and Qing Dynasty for help more than once, but got no news.His land, his people are being ravaged by others.He managed to kill his own brother, but he didn't think that he would be kicked out soon after he won the throne for too long.

And the Qing Dynasty's incident of Wu Sangui's aggression also caused a lot of uproar.After the Tiandihui was investigated and dealt with, the number of people who made troubles decreased a lot. Even those lazy people who had no food had to find a job to do it. All of them were exterminated, even the people who took them in for the night were killed, and some idlers who were idle on weekdays were also arrested, saying that they were suspected of rebellion-it is better to work honestly, anyway, now Job opportunities are plentiful and shortages are everywhere.

In this way, there are many fewer people making troubles. In addition, the past few years have basically been regarded as good weather, good harvests, good business routes, and few national affairs. Everyone has the leisure time to care about some of the surrounding dependent countries.

Siam, North Korea, Japan, Myanmar, these nearby countries can no longer satisfy the gossip of the people, and everyone has set their sights on further afield.Fujin Hazai of Ottoman, Fujin Fujin of the Netherlands, and Fujin Kikuchi of Spain presented a completely different world to them.The three foreign side Fujin were united as a matter of course. Even if Ottoman had conflicts with Spain and other countries, this did not prevent Hatijie Ha side Fujin, who came first, to take the other two side Fujin for a walk around the capital with the attitude of a big sister.

Therefore, people in the capital are used to seeing three women in bright cheongsams with different hair colors sitting on the street drinking soy milk and eating fritters early in the morning. Clap your hands and applaud, and I'm more used to them spending a lot of money to buy some fake antiques and porcelain-the vendors at the stalls are very happy every time they see them.

The Fujins on the foreign side have no discernment, and it is easy to be tricked by others.So, it didn't take long for everyone in the capital to know that in the "barbarian" places farther away, women there can have affairs openly; people there start drinking early in the morning; Fight in a big place; a group fight with more than a hundred people will be called a war there...

Barbarians are indeed barbarians.After being satisfied with the gossip, the masses could not help but be full of contempt for this barbaric land, and at the same time fully understand some new things: for example, these barbarians attack other countries unscrupulously in order to rob treasures and chassis. When you find a piece of land that looks good, you immediately grab it and take it for yourself and be complacent. This kind of behavior is really shameful and deserves to be cast aside by everyone!

Sparing and spurning, the people found that the Qing Dynasty they were proud of was doing the same thing: allowing Wu Sangui to attack Burma.

unacceptable!The Qing Dynasty had a vast land and abundant resources, so where would it be necessary to fight with those barbarians?Shame, shame!Immediately, there was a vigorous discussion among the people.Wu Sangui was not very popular in the first place, but now his reputation has become even worse. From the capital to the south of the Yangtze River, there are scholars talking loudly, saying that they want to expel Wu Sangui from the Qing Dynasty. , and also unearthed all his great achievements. Back then, he was going to vote for Li Zicheng, and then he defected to the Qing army, showing his bad qualities.

In December, there was a solar eclipse.During the partial solar eclipse, Fulin was very calm, but everyone was terrified and knocked with basins one after another. Bumbutai even ignored the objections of his followers and insisted on going to the Buddhist hall, chanting scriptures non-stop.

The solar eclipse was naturally attributed to Wu Sangui, but that was not counted. Then, a comet appeared.The comet dragged a long tail and passed through Zhangsu, Jingsu, Weisu and Kuisu in the sky, causing people to panic.Wu Sangui suddenly became the target of everyone's criticism, and Fulin's pressure increased unprecedentedly.

Forget about these things, it was Dorgon's illness that caused Fulin to collapse the most.Winter is the season he hates the most. No matter how hot the fire dragon burns, Dorgon will suffer from old problems, coughing endlessly and losing energy.Fulin simply moved his desk to his room, monitored him taking medicine, and monitored the imperial physician, not expecting to backfire.The emperor was under too much pressure, and the queen mother made inspections from time to time, and several princes and Princess Coral came to report almost every day, and the head of Song Dynasty's hair turned white.

The Tai Hospital has always sought stability in its work. Dorgon's illness has been delayed for several years and he is getting older. The Tai Hospital only dares to use some stable and expensive maintenance medicines, which can only play a palliative role, not a cure.

The ministers didn't care about Dorgon's condition, and they still insisted on writing papers, accusing the evil Wu Sangui, and hoped that Fulin could do something to stop supporting this kind of aggression.

"Your Majesty, please think again!" University scholar Sun Tingquan, Hubu Shangshu Asiha, General Tuhai and others jointly wrote a letter, hoping that the emperor can pick up a little bit of morality, and don't just focus on money and use wars to make money. It's hard to say. !

Yue Le in the imperial clan had been dealt with before, and he was unwilling to take the lead again. After discussing with them, they pushed out the young Jieshu to act as their leader, and proposed to the emperor to unite with Burma and deal with Wu Sangui.

Of course, there were also people who were on the emperor's side, but most of them were young people.This time, the unexpected united front of the Hanchens against the emperor made many Manchens very upset: the emperor, the emperor, let you reuse the Han people, let you not take our Manchurian Eight Banners seriously, and now you support Wu Sangui in the war When it comes to grabbing things, the Han people come to hold you back one by one. How about it, the Han people are still useless at critical moments, right?

Your sister, just because I have a good temper doesn't mean I have no temper!It is rare for Fulin to have the urge to kill innocent people indiscriminately.Fortunately, his many years as emperor had worn him down a long time ago. He didn't show dissatisfaction with the demands of these courtiers or anything else, instead he seemed a little loose.Everyone was encouraged by the emperor's calmness, and they all wrote a letter, hoping that the emperor would stand on the standpoint of justice and not allow villains like Wu Sangui to provoke evil wars.

Tong Guowei is also ready to move.The Tong family was completely different from the history. Tong Layue did not enter the palace, but was just an idle prince's Fujin. Naturally, the Tong family did not have the opportunity to show their face in front of the emperor early.Tong Guowei is ambitious, and everyone seems to be able to persuade the emperor, and they want to take credit for this.Fortunately, he loves to share, so he ran to find his good friend Suo'etu.

Suo'etu was shocked and said, "It's absolutely impossible!"

Tong Guowei was very puzzled: "Why? Now the emperor is obviously a little loose, if you try harder, he will definitely send troops to destroy Wu Sangui, and our two brothers can just go out. Wu Sangui will definitely lose if he is hit on the back. Don't you think that he has already made military achievements? Do not want?"

Suo'etu sighed, waved his servants back, and said in a low voice: "Let me ask you, is the current emperor the kind of person who is easy to be persuaded?"

Tong Guowei shook his head, Suo'etu continued: "Then let me ask you again, who is the emperor's most important person?"

Tong Guowei thought for a while, and tentatively answered: "The Regent?"

"Isn't that right?" Suo'etu earnestly said, "Now that the regent's health is not good, the emperor has issued an imperial list to recruit famous doctors from all over the world to go to Beijing. How can he care about the affairs of the court? As a younger brother, to the emperor I understand, the more he holds back now, the more tempered he will be in the future, bro, you better keep quiet and watch for now."

Tong Guowei still couldn't figure it out: "Then if there is a war, wouldn't our credit be robbed?"

Suo'etu hated iron but steel: "Brother, look at who are the applicants? Let's not talk about it, does Liao Xia have it? Does Fan Xueshi have it? Does Mingzhu have it? Liao Xia is from Nanshufang, Fan Xueshi It's Fan Wencheng's son, and these two are used to pondering the holy meaning. Mingzhu's son is the prince's companion to read, and he can know the emperor's mood from his son. They don't write books, why are you so anxious?"

Tong Guowei suddenly realized, and whispered: "You mean, the emperor is waiting for the queen to settle the score?"

Suo'etu said: "Let's just watch. If the regent recovers from his illness, it's okay. If there is something wrong with him, the emperor will be furious, and there will be a good show."

"Then, tell me, should we make a note to support the emperor?" Tong Guowei thought about another way to obtain the holy will.

Suo'etu pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Yes. But we can't make it too obvious, otherwise the two of us will become the target of public criticism."

The author has something to say: I originally planned to update it as soon as I arrived at the office, but I got two customers early in the morning and another one in the afternoon, so heartbroken, haha.
