. "Everyone has their own ambitions, it's not possible to force it." Lin Haifeng took the tea sent by the officer, uncovered the lid, took a sip, turned to look at Hao Lisu, who looked a little gray and slightly sick. He knew that Hao Lisu had a heart disease. "However, after all, we and Lord Hao still have one thing in common, that is, we all hope that the people can live and work in peace and contentment."

He saw Hao Lisu lower his head gently and smiled slightly, "Mr. Hao's official voice in Suzhou is still good, he is a rare honest official."

"Oh, war itself is the greatest misfortune of the people!" Hao Lisu sighed and shook his head gently.

"Of course, no one will like war," Lin Haifeng put down the cup in his hand, "including myself. Therefore, we must unite with knowledgeable people from all sides to end the war as soon as possible and give the people a peaceful world."

"The country was peaceful, but unfortunately..." Hao Lisu glanced at the young prince and did not say anything more. He was a little surprised that the Taiping Army was from Guangdong and Guangxi, so why did this prince speak authentic Beijing movies? It seems that this character is extraordinary.

"Is that so? Is it really peaceful?" Lin Haifeng asked, still so kind, without any angry expression.

"Of course, if there were no Westerners' peeping, there would be opium." Hao Lisu was a little discouraged. After a while, he looked up at the other party and said with a heartfelt heart, "From the bottom of his heart, I cannot say that I do not admire your ability. Jiangsu will soon become your possession, and there may be Zhejiang. However, the Qing Dynasty has a vast territory and strong strength, and the war will last for a long time. In any case, this cannot be called a good thing. Both sides' labor and squandering wages will only bring harm to the country. Why can't you turn wars with the court into jade? We can discuss good things and have your help. Can't the Qing Dynasty raise its eyebrows overseas and revive its former glory?"

"You're right, even if I have this kind of thought." Lin Haifeng looked at Hao Lisu with a puzzled face and smiled, "I'm just afraid that Xianfeng would refuse."

"I will agree!" Hao Lisu said firmly, "The current emperor is a wise monarch. As long as the noble prince is willing, the emperor in front of the emperor will guarantee it with all his strength."

"Haha..." Lin Haifeng laughed, looked at Gu Xuejiang, who was also confused by the monk he said, and then looked at Hao Lisu, "Did Lord Hao understand it wrong? I mean, Xianfeng announces his abdication and take the initiative to return to the land preserved by their ancestors, be a good rule-abiding people. Return the great mountains and rivers of China to us."

"This..." Hao Lisu shook his head, "How is this possible?"

"Yes, since it is impossible, there will be war." Lin Haifeng said, shaking the two wide sleeves of his king's robe. "Look at the clothes we ancestors studied, loose and free. If we were to dance and write poems and fill in essays, it would appear to be free and free. Just this point shows that our Han ancestors never liked war. However, we were never afraid of war. "He raised his hand and pointed out outside the door, "Mr. Hao saw the Red Army of the Heavenly Dynasty?"

"Look... I saw it," Hao Lisu felt a little uncomfortable in his voice, "You can see farther than the official army if you imitate foreigners."

"Mr. Hao said it wrong again. This is not a way to imitate foreigners." Lin Haifeng shook his head, "The weapons in our Red Army soldiers are all the weapons produced by our Celestial Empire, and they have nothing to do with foreign guns. Since I have said this, I will say a few more words. You must be counting on the Qing Dynasty to make a revival and never forget the so-called Kanggan prosperous era. To put it bluntly, whether it is Kangxi or Qianlong, it is nothing more than catching up with a good era. In their environment, as long as you are not a fool, anyone will create a "prosperous era". You might as well think about it carefully, what did this "prosperous era" really bring to us?"

"The treasury is full and strong, how can it be said that it is not a 'prosperous era'?"

"The country is strong? What is its status?" Seeing Hao Lisu's somewhat dissatisfied expression, Lin Haifeng smiled faintly, "That's just that the Western powers have not really developed. It is probably not an exaggeration to describe it as Yelang's arrogant and looking at the sky in a well. Let me give you the simplest example. As early as the Ming Dynasty, China had the "flowering bullet" you now called the Ming army's artillery was the most powerful. The Qing Dynasty knew the most. Didn't Huang Taiji be buried under the artillery fire of the Ming army? Since then, Until now, more than two hundred years have passed, what is the Qing army? To put it bluntly, the Qing Dynasty was afraid that these excellent skills would be spread throughout the hands of our Han people and threatened their long-term rule and enslave the interests of our Han people, so they adopted this ugly behavior of abandoning food and destroying the Great Wall because of choking. Without a truly powerful army, wouldn’t it be a joke to talk about the country’s strength? Just imagine, can they accept it with the wisdom of our heroic soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty to help them? Can they rest assured?”

"The Qing Dynasty still attached importance to the Han people, and Zeng Guofan from Hunan had already been valued by the court and began to train new troops." Hao Lishu said that he was a little confident. He knew that Zeng Guofan was training the Hunan Army, but after all, he didn't know whether Zeng Guofan, the so-called "Xiang Army", was a fancy.

"Haha, yes, Zeng Guofan wants to form a Hunan Army. What does this mean? Does it mean that the Han people are important in the eyes of the Qing Dynasty? I don't think that the Eight Banners military system has rotted from the root and is not enough for a battle. Xianfeng just had such a plan out of helplessness. Even if it succeeds, what can it happen? Those who are slaves are always slaves, but just get a few more bones rewarded by their masters." Lin Haifeng smiled, "However, I have a very bad news here to tell you that Lord Hao, Zeng Guofan has long become a turtle in the urn of my Heavenly Army set up in Zhuzhou. If it were fast, I'm afraid he would have reunited with Zuo Zongtang and others in the prisoner-of-war camp of our Heavenly Army."

Lin Haifeng ignored Hao Lisu's seemingly suspicious look, took out the cigarette purse, took a piece of cigarette paper, and continued, "Actually, Lord Hao has already understood the strength of the Tianjun. To be honest, the Tianjun did not take any attention to the Manchu and Han Eight Banners, Mongolian Horse Team, or some messy local group training. If we want to do it, we can ask Xianfeng to get out of Beijing within a year." He raised his hand passionately, then raised the cigarette that had just been rolled in his hand, and asked with a smile, "Does Mr. Hao smoke?"

"Smoothing occasionally." Hao Lisu agreed, remembering his cigarette puddle pot.

"Haha, then Lord Hao will try this." Lin Haifeng handed him the rolled cigarette, rolled another one, and took out a match.

When Hao Lisu took the cigarette handed over by Lin Haifeng, he habitually put it on his nose and lowered his sleeves and sniffed it. It was a scent of the nose, which was a feeling I had never felt before. In addition to the tobacco itself, there was also a strong mellow aroma of wine.

"This is a cigarette roasted in Zhenjiang, it smells good, right?" Lin Haifeng said, igniting a match with a crack and delivering it to Hao Lisu.

It was really fresh, strange cigarettes, and the small wooden stick that was slashing. Hao Lisu unnaturally put the cigarette on the fire.

"How is it, how do you feel?" Lin Haifeng then lit it for himself, took a sip of cigarette, and looked at Hao Lisu with a smile.

"Okay!" It's not just good, Hao Lisu felt that he was drunk.

"If you have the chance, Lord Hao can go to Tianjing, Zhenjiang and other places to see. There are many new things. Only in the Celestial Empire can the people understand the meaning of being a real person. Of course, Suzhou will be the same soon." Lin Haifeng put the small matchbox in his hand in front of Hao Lisu, "This is just a small thing, but it is something unimaginable for the Qing Dynasty."

Hao Lisu picked up the match, fiddled with it carefully for a while, and glanced at the friendly prince several times with the corner of his eyes. What he said was right, all the new things were unimaginable for the Qing Dynasty.

"If we hadn't had the splendid culture of thousands of years, what would it be like to be ruined by the Qing Dynasty? Haha, the Qing Empire was just a piece of fat that could be slaughtered in the eyes of others." Lin Haifeng seemed to be talking to himself. Suddenly, he turned his head to Hao Lisu and asked, "I won't talk about the situation in the capital. Lord Hao knew it. Just talk about Hangzhou, there is a city in the city in Hangzhou. Yes, it is the so-called flag camp. I think Lord Hao should be familiar with it, right?"

Hao Lisu nodded. Of course, he knew very well that on the 14th day of the fifth lunar month of the third year of Shunzhi (15th year), the Qing Dynasty flag was finally planted on the head of Hangzhou. According to Shunzhi's "Shadow-Shad Order", all subjects who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty would have their hair shaved off the first half, but a long braid was dragged out from the back of their heads. For this order, there were also fierce resistance and behaviors in Hangzhou. "Hang people went to Henghe Bridge to die, hundreds of people were blocked by the river."

Therefore, the Qing army announced that it would enclose land and garrison troops to "use capital to suppress". From June of the fifth year of Shunzhi (18th year), the Qing army in the west of Hangzhou City, which lies on the east bank of West Lake, began to establish flag camps. The flag camps were built with a city wall, which was 19 feet high, about nine miles around, covering an area of ​​1,430 acres. When enclosing land and building cities, the Qing army forced the people to migrate, causing the people to "help the elderly and young, carry bags and carry bags, or move outside the country, or move to foreign lands." The beautiful scenery of West Lake, which is proud of by the people of Hangzhou,

Because of the buildings of the Banner Yingcheng, it was separated from Hangzhou. From then on, people in Hangzhou had to pass through the Banner Yingcheng, and most of them could only leave the people by Yongkin Gate. The city gate was closed late and Jinwu was strictly prohibited, so the people were not allowed to enter and exit. The Eight Banners officers and soldiers led by the Hangzhou generals and entrenched in the Banner Camp were even more rampant as occupiers. The garrison generals were arrogant and either took over the people's industry, resuming money, or forcibly marrying civilian women, and doing nothing, which became a major harm in Hangzhou.

"How do you feel when you see this situation?" Lin Haifeng seemed to ask casually.

"This..." Hao Lisu blushed and sighed.

"It's very simple, it just means how noble they are," Gu Xuejiang said angrily, "but we are all inferior people. This is no different from the Mongolian gold tent in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. It's just for this, and it can't be tolerated."

"We never bully any other nation at will, nor have we ever regarded ourselves as noble. However, facts have taught us that nobility is not good if we don't shape a nation perfectly." Lin Haifeng looked at Gu Xuejiang and looked at Hao Lisu, "In just two hundred years, he actually forgot his ancestors and abandoned all the things that a nation is truly worthy of praise and inheritance, but he just held on to those strange and strange things that harmed others and were also harming himself. He didn't know self-esteem and self-love, so it's no wonder that others look down on you. Alas, this may be a difficult and long road, which requires the joint efforts of all those who are willing to devote themselves to the interests of the nation. Lord Hao, do you think so?"
