Chapter 6 Chapter 6
When Ba Du heard this, he became more and more suspicious of Chen Zaixing's origin. With such knowledge, how could this person be just a technician who was looking for minerals in the jungle? He couldn't help but ask: "What is the origin of you? Do you know so much?"
Chen Zaixing smiled slightly, tidied up his clothes, and said to Badu: "I am Chen's name, Zaixing, and his name is Fusheng. He is from the Hanjing family. He was a Jinshi in the eighth year of Jiafeng. The emperor thought he was a bachelor of Hongwenguan."
"Jinshi and the post? Hongwenguan Ba?" Ba almost couldn't believe his ears. Every Dashun native knew what these two terms meant. Although Niu Jinxing, the founding prime minister of this dynasty, was born as a Juren, and despised Jinshi. Therefore, even if he was a Jinshi and passed away, he had to go to the prefectures and counties to be appointed as officials, instead of staying in the capital like the previous dynasty, he had the right to choose the first choice of Jinshi and Juren. However, as time continued, the difference between Jinshi and Juren became increasingly large. After the middle of the dynasty, Jinshi and Jinshi had the first place to be ranked first.
He simply took the void position of a prefecture and county, and he stayed in the Hongwenguan and Wenyuyuan, the place of the emperor's secretary. The promotion was also amazingly fast. He was in his thirties and in his early forties, he either became the six ministers and entered the center or went out as a chief official. Even if such a person did not enter the highest level of Dashun Country due to his health or other reasons, he had his own noble status as a noble person in the same year and was also a leader of a gentry in the local area. How could he appear in this smoky place to be a prospector? This is incredible!
Chen Zaixing smiled: "It doesn't matter if you don't believe me. It just so happens that Wu Hanmin, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, is my teacher. After we arrived at Wanding, we all knew it as soon as we sent a telegram. I believe my identity will still be of great help to you."
Ba didn't answer, but just looked at Chen Zaixing quietly. After a moment, he suddenly asked: "You have such a noble status, why don't you be an official in the court?"
Chen Zaixing smiled slightly and replied, "Do you know that some things can't be done even if Pingzhang's military and national affairs?"
"Pingzhang's military and national affairs? You're such a big tone!" Ba Du was shocked by Chen Zaixing's words. Pingzhang's military and national affairs were originally an official rank of the Song Dynasty. It was set up during the Yuanyou period and was specially used for veterans and important officials. Its status was higher than that of the prime minister to show respect. This dynasty reversed the old system of the previous dynasty and had a very high power. This official title was added to the prime minister. However, since the founding of the country, there were only more than twenty people who had added this title. After removing the founding of the country, the rest were all first-class important officials. Although Chen Zaixing was a Jinshi and his first-class background, his tone was too big.
"Sir, a real man was born in the world. How could he die with the mediocre spring and autumn? This time we meet you and I have a fate. We should seize the opportunity to sit down and make a big career. We can also leave a name in history in more than a hundred years!" Chen Zaixing spoke not loudly, but his eyes were bright. There was a force in his words that made Ba have to convince him, which made Ba subconsciously nod. At this moment, a cry suddenly came from the cave. It was exactly the direction where Mau Aoke was lying. Badu was about to turn around, but Chen Zaixing grabbed him. The other party heard him whispered: "Prince, for what Zaixing saw, this Burmese official should not care about him!"
Ba Du heard that the other party was interested in his words and turned around and asked, "What do you mean?"
"The servant is a smart person. If he is allowed to follow him, these two princes will definitely be trusted and will be much more troublesome to deal with him. If he dies halfway, these two princes are still very young, so naturally they can only be used as tools for Dashun, and ask them to bend him. Even if they return to Myanmar in the future, they will have no trustworthy people around them, and they will bend him honestly."
Ba couldn't help but shivered. Unexpectedly, Chen Zaixing had already put his ideas on his companions. Chen Zaixing saw Badu's hesitation and whispered: "Master Ba, please know that between countries, deception is the first priority. His first position as the Burmese King is also the two ends of the rat. He often holds the British and barbarians to respect themselves. The barbarians are the nature of dogs and sheep, fearing power but not being virtuous. Today's power is poor. If the situation changes in the future, how can we know that we will not turn to the British? Lord, now we are in a dangerous place, and women cannot be kind!"
Hearing this, Ba Du's face was already blue and white. It was obvious that a fierce ideological struggle was going on deep in his heart. Seeing this, Chen Zaixing whispered: "If you are not good at taking action, you can do it!"
"No need!" Badu said sternly: "What sir said is very good. It is better to leave this matter to me like a warrior!" After that, he turned around and walked towards where Maumaoke was.
Mau Aoke lay on several felts, breathing weakly, muscles on his face twitched, and obviously endured a severe pain. The older prince was feeding him a bowl of light black medicine juice, but Mau Aoke's teeth were critical and could not be fed at all. Even if he pried open the jaw with a spoon, the medicine juice could not enter his throat and flowed out from the corner of his mouth, soaking his clothes on his chest so hard that the prince was so anxious that he was crying.
Seeing this, Badu felt a move in his heart, reached out to take the medicine bowl and said, "Your Highness, let me do it!"
The prince also understood part of Chinese. Seeing Badu's movements, he understood it and stood up and sat aside. Badu smelled the medicine juice in the bowl, and felt a stimulating smell. He couldn't help but frown. He knew that the bowl should be opium juice, which must be used to relieve pain. At this time, Badu suddenly had a plan in his heart and said to the two princes here: "How can he take medicine now? You two go and rest first. I'll feed him to the medicine later!"
The two princes were really tired, so they stopped retreating aside to rest. When they saw no one around, they carefully picked up a marching blanket from the side, folded it a few layers, carefully covered it on Kooke's face, and pressed it hard. Then he felt a violent struggle coming from under him, but as time continued, the struggle became weaker and weaker.
After about half a cup of tea, he pulled the blanket on Kuang Aoke's head. Kuang Aoke's eyes were bulging, his face was blue and purple, and he was already suffocated.
"Don't blame me. If you want to blame, blame me for appearing in a place that shouldn't have appeared!" Badu whispered. He reached out and closed the eyes of the deceased, poured the remaining opium juice on him, and returned to the place where he rested.
The rain hit the top of the cowhide tent, making a dull sound. Luo Lin sat blankly on the brocade mat, and her heart kept rising and falling like a white elephant under her. Since that night, her fate and her brother have undergone tremendous changes, from a country's golden branches and jade leaves to a hunted captive. Now even the last familiar person around her, the servant who escorted her, died. She suddenly felt like a kite with a broken string, completely separated from the real world.
"Sister, sister, Uncle Maoke is dead. What should we do next?" Luo Qin timidly pulled Rollin's sleeve. He was only thirteen years old. Compared to Rollin, he was even more confused about the future. Luo Lin looked at his confused brother, and couldn't help but feel sad. He reached out and hugged his brother in his arms and whispered: "Sister doesn't know, but we will all be together wherever we go."
Badou walked in front of the team with his head hanging down. Although the rain did not decrease, as the terrain increased, everyone's feet had changed from mud to a relatively solid ground, and everyone's walking became much lighter. The soldiers felt this change, and their emotions were much higher than the previous few days. Rude jokes were heard from time to time in the team, but Badou, who was cheerful in his daily life, seemed to have become a different person, and he just rushed to the road without saying a word.
"Sir, after passing the big tree in front, walk six or seven miles down the mountain, you will leave the Wild Man Valley!" Chen Zaixing pointed ahead and whispered. Badu looked in the direction of the other party's fingers and saw a big tree six or seven feet taller than his side, like a crane standing out in the flock. He took out the pocket watch from his arms and looked at the time, turned around and shouted: "Everyone work harder, get to that big tree to rest and have dinner, and walk six or seven miles and you will leave the Wild Man Valley!"
The soldiers cheered, and the speed of the march suddenly became a little faster. Ba Du suddenly whispered: "Mr. Chen, what are you going to do after you arrive in Wanding?"
Chen Zaixing seemed to have been waiting for the question of Badu for a long time, and replied without hesitation: "After arriving in Wanding, I will first meet a few people and then go to Hanjing!"
"Hanjing?"
"Not bad!" Chen Zaixing replied, with a confident smile on his face: "There is the battlefield that determines everything. Please wait for my good news in Kunming!"
In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, the Taizu of this dynasty defeated Zuo Liangyu in Zhuxian Town. Then he moved his troops westward. He fought against the Ming army in Shaanxi commanded by Sun Chuanting in Jia County and wiped out it in one fell swoop. Since then, the main force of the Ming army in the Central Plains has been basically eliminated. The following year, Taizu led a large army into the pass, with the entire Shaanxi area. Taizong was appointed as the commander of Jingxiang Military, and led a partial army to station in Xiangyang, monitoring the remnants of Zuo Liangyu in Wuchang and the Ming army in Jiangnan. In August of the 16th year of Chongzhen, Taizong led his troops along the Han River. Zuo Liangyu did not dare to fight with him, so he led his troops to plunder and gathered tens of thousands of ships of all sizes and went east, abandoning an empty city from Taizong. Taizong recruited exile and encouraged farming and planting mulberry trees. In just two years, the Jingxiang area was prosperous and the treasury was sufficient. In the 17th year of Chongzhen, Taizong was in power.
Emperor Zu first entered Youzhou, Wu Sangui surrendered to the Donglu, and Taizu fought against it, but he was unable to win. The Donglu took advantage of the situation and drove into the pass, and there were almost half of the lands in the north of Zhili, Shanxi, Shandong, and Shaanxi. Taizu was also seriously injured and the situation was in danger. However, Emperor Taizong defeated his edge in Xiangyang before, and later established the capital of Hanyang, taking it as the fundamental place, conquered all directions, and finally achieved great achievements after a hundred battles. Therefore, the dynasty established the capital here, and its underworld blocked the river, Han, led Wu, Chu, controlled Lu, Fei, and Xiang, and Han on the left, which was actually a place of victory. Dashun had the system of five capitals, namely Yanshan Prefecture, Tokyo Jiangning Prefecture, Xijing Chang'an Prefecture, Shangjing Yan'an Prefecture, and Zhongjing Hanjing was the place where the emperor lived and stopped, and the place where the world reunites, also called Shenjing.
In Wenyuan Pavilion, several middle-aged women wearing brocade robes were sitting in front of several cases, reading memorials submitted from various places. They were the Shun Dynasty, commonly known as the Inner Prime Minister, and they divided the documents to be presented to the emperor into two categories. For ordinary documents, it is necessary to review whether the vocabulary of the vocabulary (referring to the abstract attached to the memorial) of the vocabulary of the vocabulary (the abstract attached to the memorial) meets the actual content of the document; for the documents of high-ranking officials, they need to write vocabulary of the vocabulary and write down the handling suggestions afterwards. Since Zi was only six years old today and was unable to make decisions personally, the actual decision was the Empress Dowager Deng, who ruled the power behind the curtain. However, because Deng was weak in nature and lacked enough experience in handling political affairs, she would generally agree with the suggestions put forward by the several vocabulary of the 400 million subjects of the Dashun Empire, and the final decision of the territory of thousands of miles was actually in the hands of several women in this small room.
"Chen Chengzhi, the outer court is coming urgently!" A woman in her early thirties walked in from the outside, presented a document with both hands, and placed it in front of the pen and inherited the edict on the outside, and then bowed and stepped back. The Chen surnamed Chengzhi opened the document and saw his face suddenly changed. He stood up and quickly walked to the pen and inherited the edict on the head, and presented the document with both hands. The Chengzhi who was on duty today opened the edict on the duty and took a look, then stood up and ordered in a deep voice: "Come Concubine Lin is here, something happened in Myanmar!"
Lin Wanqing sat in front of the desk, holding the document just now. As one of the nine concubines of the late emperor, she also had a more important identity - a true leader who followed the pen and ordered the promotion and demotion of these imperial prime ministers. Although she did not have the power to give birth to the prince, even if she was the biological mother of today, the Empress Dowager, she would call her sister when she saw her.
"A mutiny occurred in Mandalay, Myanmar. The former Burmese King was dead. The Burmese Prince's Office was attacked by rebels. The Chief of the Crown Office was killed!" Lin Wanqing put the document back to several cases and asked coldly: "What should the outer court do if it is handled?"
The Chen Chengzhi replied respectfully: "Report to the Empress, the foreign court said that if it is an ordinary Myanmar coup, the new successors must send elite troops to protect the Burmese Captain's Mansion in order to obtain recognition from the Supreme People's Mansion. This time, our Captain's Mansion was attacked, but I am afraid that things are not that simple. I have ordered to step up the news and make a decision!"
"Well!" Lin Wanqing nodded and asked casually: "Which channel did this news come from?"
"I took the liner from Yangon to Guangzhou, and then sent a telegram to Hanjing!"
"Yangon?" Lin Wanqing snorted coldly: "It goes without saying that there must be a British man behind this matter. Maybe these barbarians also intervened. Send it to Wu Hanmin, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and ask him to send someone to inquire about the information. Whenever there is a certain situation, they will be sent to Hanjing quickly."
"Yes!" A young man with the least qualification quickly recorded Lin Wanqing's decree. A female official in her thirty people was interjected and said, "Empress, in my opinion, we should also mobilize troops from the surrounding provinces to Yunnan and make the worst plans!"
Lin Wanqing pondered for a moment and nodded, "Li Bingbi said it well. The nature of the British and French jackals is insatiable, so she must not let Myanmar fall into his hands. I issued an imperial edict to Tianyou Pavilion to discuss it, and two model soldiers were transferred from Hunan, Sichuan and Guangxi to Yunnan and Guizhou; and the powerful British and French navy were strong and generated power from the coastal navy to strengthen vigilance to prevent the attack from other sides!"
