Chapter 279 En Lin was stunned when he saw the Xining minister who had been seriously ill for a long time suddenly standing in front of him again.
In order to ask for the letters transferred to him by Yi and Zaiqihai, the signature of Lin Fengxiang was drawn... It was clear that it was the fifth day of November of the Bingchen year, but today when he received these two letters, it was the eighth day of the second month of the Dingsi year.
Although the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom changed to the so-called Tianli that he seemed awkward, after all, because he received "too many" letters from Lin Fengxiang and his personal "smart and studious" Enlin is now able to skillfully convert the "Qing Dynasty time" and "Taiping Rebel Time" alone.
If we counted based on the "time of Taiping Rebels", after Yi and Zaiyuan wrote the letter on November 29 last year, until March 1 this year, these letters finally came to his hands. From the capital to the tragedy to Gongchang to Lanzhou, these letters actually walked on the road for two months and had more than two days.
After more than two months, not to mention being a fast horse, even a disabled person with no legs, he had already climbed here.
Could it be that Yi and Zaiyuan deliberately delayed the time after writing the letter? This idea was just a flash in their minds, and Enlin himself denied it. Because it was unlikely. Even if Yi and Zaiyuan were so reluctant when writing such a letter, they were in the hands of others, so it was not easy to delay.
The only explanation is that Lin Fengxiang deliberately put these two letters in his hands, and through strict blockade, he seized his "right to know" about the overall situation outside Lanzhou.
The "Qing Kingdom" has been gone for several months, but during these months, he knew nothing and was still insisting on his "Qing Kingdom" without regrets.
At that time, Enlin was really hard to be at home.
He was shocked, he was angry, he was sad, he was depressed, he was still confused."
Enlin now has all the miserable feelings of a child who was once loved and cared for at home but suddenly lost a pair of parents.
Enlin, I hate this, I wish I could grab Lin Fengxiang and eat this "old dog thing" raw in front of him.
But no matter how angry or sad he is, it is useless. Lin Fengxiang, the "old bastard", can make it clear. In another nineteen days, the 20th day of this month, the 27th day of the "Qing Dynasty time", he must hand over all the power he once had.
In other words, on that day, he not only had to hand over the Lanzhou and other cities that he could also decide to the final decision to Lin Fengxiang and other thieves, but he also handed over the gang of traitors himself. He could only become a fish.
This definitely won't work!
Although the "Qing Dynasty" was destroyed and although "Lao Buddha" fell into the hands of a traitor, Enlin, who always liked to be proud of "the devout admirer of the Empress Dowager," still lost the famous saying of "Lao Buddha" that "I would rather give to foreigners than to slaves."
Of course, he still couldn't find any foreigners nearby, but why not? Just beside his "couch", aren't there any ambitious Ma Wenyi? In short, you can give anything from "I Qing Dynasty" to anyone, but you can't get the most humble and dirty inferior Han people.
So, Enlin stared at the ground, shouted, scolded, wiped tears, and felt sad for the collapse of the "Qing Dynasty" building for a while, and then grabbed the pen without hesitation.
He wanted to tell Ma Wenyi of Xining that the Qing court, headed by the young and wise Empress Dowager Cixi, highly praised the great movement of the Gansu Hui people to fight for national independence and freedom led by Ma Wenyi. The establishment of the Mus Kingdom of Xining undoubtedly followed the will of heaven and fulfilled the wishes of the vast Hui people in Gansu.
Therefore, in order to create a good environment for harmonious living for the majority of Hui people, the "Qing Dynasty" not only recognized the legal status of the "Xining Muslim Kingdom", but also decided to transfer all the entire territory of Gansu, Qinghai and Xinjiang to the "Xining Muslim Kingdom". In view of this, Enlin decided to first hand over the Lanzhou and other places he was still in charge to the "Xining Muslim Kingdom" "respected" Ma Wenyi, who had the intention of looking at Lanzhou, must have the determination to "His Royal Highness" and "his King" to "sent a large army to pick him up for him and urgently want to go to Xinjiang and pass on the court" a major decision to convey to the informant General Zarafentai, so that in the following days, he could complete the handover of Xinjiang with the "Xining Muslim Kingdom" as soon as possible.
At that time, Enlin was writing in tears and pain while still sneering in his heart.
He had already thought clearly that as long as he transferred Lanzhou to Ma Wenyi and the others, with Ma Wenyi's 500,000 Hui army as the "guest of the palace", Xiaolin Fengxiang, the old man, no matter how tough he was, he could still buy himself several months. He could run into Xinjiang smoothly and work on the bench with the Ili General Zarafentai, who was quite reasonable in his relationship. Then, he introduced Russian allies who were even more greedy than Ma Wenyi's group of Huiyi to Xinjiang. Even if he could not achieve the feat of restoring the country that had given birth to his own Qing Dynasty, he would at least have done his last bit of filial piety to the Qing Dynasty.
Of course, while writing, he was thinking about another question, that is, after writing this urgent letter of 800 miles, he had to go and see the Tugabu, who had been seriously ill.
At that time, all the garrisons in Xining, Suzhou, Liangzhou and other places were collected around Lanzhou, and the "regular army" directly commanded by Enlin once expanded to nearly 30,000. If Lanzhou and its surrounding areas were trained, Enlin's army could even take the "100,000" plan.
However, since hearing the news that the "Ningxia Muslim Kingdom" was destroyed, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was vigorously fueling the rumors that had been surging in Lanzhou and other places, Enlin, a huge army that was once fat and bloated, began to accelerate the "slimming" move.
In just two or three months, the regular army fled nearly 30% of them. The brave men who once claimed to be 50,000 or 60,000 also made some big or small fortunes on the people in the name of "for my Qing Dynasty", and more than half of them "disappeared"
After statistics from relevant departments, one thing Zeng Enlin felt incredible was that most of the escape incidents in the regular army occurred in various battalions that were originally summoned by him. After abandoning his original territory, as Tugabu retreated to the various battalions from Lanzhou, the number of people fled was significantly less.
In other words, among the more than 10,000 regular troops left, he was able to win the army that he trusted, and had only two or three thousand people. Most of them were green camps composed of Han people in Lanzhou. There seemed to be such a rule. First of all, those who were despised by the Hao Zhong and wholly funded by the people who were only "robbed the family and robbed the house", and the most were the group training of the mobs, and the most were hiding. Secondly, Enlin felt that he should be the most trustworthy Eight Banners soldiers in the camp, with many escapes. And the last one was the green camp soldiers who could not fight any tough battles, but like money very much. After all, for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, Enlin was not the kind of stingy person who had to break a penny in half even at a critical moment of life and death.
After all, his Qing Dynasty has now perished. After the great waves and scrubbing the sand, the soldiers who can still stay here to fight against Taiping and rebels should be considered elites of the "Qing Dynasty". If "I, Qing Dynasty" still wants to restore the country, it would be impossible without the unremitting efforts of these elites.
Therefore, in order to "my Qing Dynasty", Enlin must take out all the "elites" as completely as possible.
Perhaps God suddenly felt pity for Enlin at that time. Before he could come to see him personally, Tugabu, who had been tortured by illness, actually came to the door by himself.
When Enlin suddenly saw the Xining Minister of Service who had been seriously ill for a long time suddenly stood in front of him again.
