Chapter 149: Receive the Scholars and the Good News

When Zhao Sanbao's army was at the city of Chengdu, the first time that countless scholars in the Southern Dynasty were attracted by were found, and the regent personally named the top scholar, who was from Liuzhou, Guangxi, called Jia Linsheng, whose courtesy name was Qingyuan, was 27 years old, and was born in Guangzhou Normal University.

Ye Zhao's strategy was very simple. The first question was to explain the international political situation and look forward to the rise of the southern country. This was just a question of vision. The second question was to explain the way of currency.

Jia Linsheng was obviously very concerned about the current situation. He not only mentioned that the French made a comeback in Vietnam and took advantage of the war between the north and the south to obtain concessions at ports such as Vung Tau, but also mentioned that the war between the north and the south has caused chaos in Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, Qinghai, and ***, which is really worrying. Internationally, Jia Linsheng's view on the alliance with Britain to resist Russia was naturally immature, but in this era, some of the things in it were very well-informed and had his own ideas.

In the process of currency, Jia Linsheng also did his homework and explained the relationship between paper money and gold, silver and precious metals very clearly.

In fact, what Ye Zhao admires most is his keen insight into the domestic situation.

The signs of a reversal in the northwest are also Ye Zhao’s most concerned about now. It seems that due to the Civil War, the Six Kings imposed heavy taxes and were unable to maintain the situation in the northwest border. The reversal that should have occurred in a few years is likely to break out early.

There are also many intelligence groups in the northwest of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which are all things that Ye Zhaoling Ruisi must do. For example, Lanzhou, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has a huge intelligence system operating.

It is not difficult to understand that Ye Zhao is concerned about the Northwest, and there are also intelligence exchanges. However, Jia Linsheng only keenly realized the problem of the Northwest through the scales of newspapers and publications, so he could not help but make Ye Zhao look at him differently. Nowadays, most of the people in the Southern Dynasty are staring at the battlefield in the Central Plains. Who would pay attention to Western Xinjiang?

When governing the country and economic affairs, it is just a matter of talking about military affairs on paper. This vision is a judgment that is based on the top scorer. It is natural to call Jia Linsheng the top scorer.

In fact, if you want to talk about the scholars' strategies, Zhu Sisi is the most skilled. How can others compare to Ye Zhao's side and follow him by example?

Zhu Sisi was clicked as a Tanhua, so naturally Ye Zhao deliberately suppressed her. She was just a big cheater. After spending time with her for a long time, it was equivalent to cheating. Unlike the students who studied hard, she naturally had to give the opportunity to others.

The magnificent and spacious Qianwang Palace Ningji Hall is equipped with dozens of red pear wood banquet tables, the top scholar, the second scholar, the second scholar, the third scholar, and the fifty Jinshi each, sitting neatly.

There are many varieties of dishes, such as pickles, including palace radish, honey-spicy cucumber, osmanthus kohlrabi, and peach kernel sauce. The appetizers include dried tangerine peel rabbit meat, strange-flavored chicken strips, Tianxiang abalone, and three loofah rolls. There are various appetizers, imperial dishes, buns, candied fruits, barbecue, dried fruits, etc., which add up to 40 or 50 kinds, but each table has a very exquisite small plate. Take candied fruit as an example, oranges, crabapples, plums, and three or two pieces of each table, so that they will not waste when they taste the delicious food in the world.

Zhu Sisi sat at the third table, with a bright blue silk flag jacket, a tailored embroidered pink pleated skirt, and white cotton socks and small brown leather shoes. She became more refined and gentle, with outstanding temperament and beautiful and charming.

In addition to the female Tanhua, there are two women among the fifty Jinshi, which is extremely rare.

The students looked at the hall curiously. Everything here was undoubtedly fresh to them. They symbolized the majesty of the royal family, the golden cauldron with a round lotus seat, and the hanging octagonal palace lanterns, and the royal style came to their faces.

The male and female guards wearing a straight black uniform with their hands on their backs made people feel the vigorous vitality of the new dynasty.

"Your Highness Gan Wang is here!" As the female guard shouted crisply, footsteps came, the students stood up in panic and saw a person walking quickly outside the hall, dazzling yellow eyes. The students dared not look at them more, and they all bowed their heads.

Officials of the Academic Affairs Department knelt on one knee first, and students who had already performed the exercises also bowed their knees and sang in unison with the official: "I will meet your highness!"

A knee-jerk ceremony is also a new etiquette that Ye Zhao is gradually promoting. It is used in more grand occasions. Ye Zhao will gradually abolish the kneeling ceremony on weekdays.

"All get up!" Ye Zhao walked to the throne steps and did not walk up to the throne. He stretched out his hand and a servant next to him gave him a glass of wine.

Ye Zhao raised his head high and said loudly: "You are all hope for the future of this dynasty. I will drink this glass of wine with you. I hope you will be diligent and loyal to share the worries of the country!"

As he said that, he raised his glass and drank it all.

The students hurriedly toasted one after another, and some of them could not drink white wine, so they pinched their noses and swallowed them in one go.

Ye Zhao also said: "The Lord King expects you to be very good. The so-called living in the brothel must have the spirit of mountains and forests; under the forest, you always have the merits of corridors and temples. The first subject of this dynasty is the first to be a scholar, and you are all the pillars of our dynasty. In the future, there will be people who will become generals and ministers, but don't forget the Lord King's instructions today, don't be blinded by fame and fortune, be with the talent that is magnificent and the earth, and always have a calm mind of fame and fortune!"

The students were solemn and listened to the teachings of the Regent.

"Today's festive celebration, wait for a few more drinks." Ye Zhao then sat on the throne, and called out to say a few words to Jia Linsheng and others. With him, the students didn't dare to move their chopsticks.

Ye Zhao finally drank a cup with the students, got up and left, so that all the Jinshi could truly taste the delicious food at the banquet.

Jia Linsheng looked at the regent's back excitedly, and was summoned by the regent, and encouraged him to glorify his ancestors. He was like a dream. He must do something in the future and live up to the expectations of the prince and his elders.

Inadvertently, I glanced at the beautiful color on the right. This woman was so beautiful. I don’t know which family’s lady, Tanhua and Jinshi, and as a woman, this talent is really amazing.

If you can find out her origin and ask someone to propose marriage?

Then Jia Linsheng shook his head and sighed in his heart. He was afraid he was just a delusion. Who can be a young lady who can be promoted to a Jinshi is not a wealthy family? It would be good for ordinary women to learn to learn to read. However, he was poor and had to spend all these years of hard work and study hard. He was close to a new year and had not yet married. How could he have been delusional as soon as he succeeded? What is his ambition? It is impossible to think about this, but it is better to be down-to-earth.

While thinking about it, I suddenly found that the beautiful color on the right was no longer there, and I couldn't help but feel confused.

Zhu Sisi naturally sneaked out to find Ye Zhao.

In the warm pavilion of the East Side Hall, Ye Zhao and Zhu Sisi sat on both sides of the kang table for lunch, and just a few plates of light snacks on the table.

"Tanhualang, have a drink?" Ye Zhao flipped through the note in his hand and looked at Zhu Sisi with a smile. He had learned to use all three things to do recently.

Ye Zhao called Sisi Tanhualang these two days. Zhu Sisi gave him a blank look and said, "You deliberately suppress me. I have read Jia Linsheng's articles, but I am not as good as I write!"

Ye Zhao laughed and said, "You are already amazing. Our first top scholar in the new dynasty can't choose a princess. Sometimes, it's okay if we just have to be honest."

Zhu Sisi also understood this, snorted, and said, "Ignore you tonight."

Ye Zhao was amused and laughed. Sisi was so cute that she was so cute.

"Just ignore me?" Ye Zhao smiled and put down the memorial.

Zhu Sisi's pretty face turned red. This pervert seems to like the overlord to take the bow the most.

At this time, the guard came in and reported that Jia Linsheng was waiting to see him outside the hall.

It was Ye Zhao who ordered the guards to call him after the banquet and ordered the first top scholar in the new dynasty with his own hands. He felt a little accomplished.

Ye Zhao was going to put Jia Linsheng into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to experience it first, observe and then apply it.

"Call him." Ye Zhao made a gesture, and Zhu Sisi jumped off the kang and avoided the side door. Looking at her beautiful figure, Ye Zhao sighed in his heart. These outstanding women were willing to be by his side. What kind of blessing did he have in his lifetime?

...

In April 1862, a war broke out at the battlefields of northern Anhui and southern Shandong at the same time, especially in the battlefields of northern Anhui, where Zheng Ze's army and Senggelinqin army fought fiercely in Lu'an and Guangzhou.

Zheng Zewu had a total of 60 infantry battalions, reconnaissance battalions, cavalry battalions, five artillery battalions, and a total of more than 35,000 combat personnel from the main force. There was also a total of more than 10,000 people appointed by the Southern Dynasties, with more than 20,000 militias of all sizes and hundreds of large and small militias. In addition, the recruited civilians and civilians, more than 100,000 people were invested in the battlefield.

The Senggelinqin tribe had more than 15,000 horses and steps. Not only did reinforcements not stop, but the supply was even cut off by the Southern Dynasties. It is unknown whether the victory or defeat of this battle was found.

Senggelinqin was wiped out. He led several personal soldiers to escape, but encountered a militia team, and was shot and cut off his head.

When the news came, Ye Zhao was shocked. Could history be really a vicious circle? The monk king's hero has never escaped the fate of being killed by unknown soldiers.

Zheng Zewu then received the regent and the military commander-in-chief, and led his troops northward to conquer Henan Prefecture. By June, he was in a state of unstoppable power and conquered Zhengzhou.

When the Shenbao and Harichi soldiers entered Shaanxi. When Zheng Zewu conquered Zhengzhou, the Shenbao and Harichi troops and various regiments bravely advanced together and approached Xi'an.

Ye Zhao appointed Hubei Governor and General Patrol Officer. At the same time, more than 10,000 patrol troops had been formed to enter Hubei. They were all selected to patrol the provinces to suppress the rebellions and suppress the thieves in Hubei and appease the people. At the same time, they reorganized various appeasement regiments appointed by the Southern Dynasty who did not go north with the army.

Shortly after Zheng Zewu conquered Zhengzhou, Shandong Governor Yan Mingjing turned against him and sent troops to attack Zuo Zongtang's food route.

Zuo Zongtang, who was fighting with the matchmaker, was shocked and hurriedly fought back to Jinan. Yan Mingjing fled to Qingzhou. But at this time, more than 10,000 people from Zuo Zongtang's Yongyi army in southern Shandong were surrounded and annihilated by the matchmaker's army.

Zuo Zongtang received an urgent telegram from the Six Kings and led the remnants to retreat to the north bank of the Yellow River. In July, the Matchmaker recaptured Jinan.

Immediately, Ye Zhao issued the "General Mobilization Order for the Whole Army", calling on the Pingyuan army to fight bravely, restore the entire northern territory, conquer Beijing, and capture ***.

The Matchmaker had a short rest. In August, more than 100,000 troops crossed the Yellow River. There were countless surrenders along the way. The First Infantry Regiment of the Matchmaker's Forward even advanced to Hejian Prefecture.

At the same time, the Chechen Khan tribe of Outer Mongolia suddenly entered the Xilingol League. Khan King Wulihan claimed to surrender to the regent of the Southern Kingdom. His tribe had a cavalry of about 3,000 people at some time.

Then, the Tushetu Khan tribe of Outer Mongolia, adjacent to the Chechen Khan tribe, claimed to surrender to the Southern Dynasties, and was obviously worried that it would be annexed by the Chechen Khan tribe and become the catfish without any disaster.

...

Jiaoming Lane in the east of the capital.

Viscount Blinn had also lost its composure. Just a few months ago, after the Far East Fleet lost, the northern country began to lay out mines in the Dagukou area to prevent the Pingyuan army from landing from Zhigu to attack the capital.

This move was protested by Britain, France and the United States, causing great diplomatic disputes.

Who knew that on the land battlefield, the northern country was retreating step by step, and the Pingyuan Army was advancing ten times faster than expected. Seeing that the navy was not used, the infantry was not far from the capital.

Gui Liang looked anxious: "Mr. Blin, when will your country's Far East Legion arrive?"

In fact, Bolling didn't know where the Far East Infantry Regiment had been, or it was not sent out for various reasons, so it was inconvenient for communication today and it was really difficult to control the overall situation.

"Mr. Guiliang, for the present plan, there is only one way to ask the Chinese emperor to avoid the pass and wait for our country's reinforcements."

Gui Liang sighed deeply, and could only do this, but he didn't know whether the emperor agreed or not. What made people feel even more unsure is that if the Russian reinforcements cannot arrive very quickly, what if they retreat outside the pass?

Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, Senggelinqin, this was defeated too quickly, right?

Brin asked with some concern: "Yige and Zhao Yongkang can trust you?"

Gui Liang was stunned. The Russians were really clear about the situation outside the pass.

After the ban was lifted outside the pass, the Fengtian and Jilin provinces were established, and the Heilongjiang area was still in a flag system, managed by Heilongjiang General Yige, while Zhao Yongkang was the governor of Fengtian.

Nowadays, military horses are also being exercised outside the pass. Yige's flag soldiers and Zhao Yongkang's new green camp are equipped with a large number of firearms, which are the two strongest armed forces outside the pass.

Obviously, because the Shandong governor suddenly turned against him, the Russians were worried that the same incident would occur outside the pass.

Gui Liang pondered for a moment and said that Yige was a clan of the royal family and the emperor favored him very much, but Zhao Yongkang was not as happy as he could be seen. Nowadays, people's hearts are fluctuating, but they are not sure.

"Everyone can be trusted." Gui Liang's face was very natural, and he wanted to cheer the Russians up at this time.

Blin nodded slightly. At this time, the door of the study was knocked. Then a Russian attendant walked in and whispered a few times in Blin's ear. Blin's face changed immediately and he said, "The South *** team landed in Lushun."

Guiliang suddenly stood up: "What?"

Blin's face was grim and said, "Mr. Guiliang, please go to the palace now to persuade the emperor to leave Beijing. If you are too late, it will be too late."

The Southern Dynasties had a clear and clear military strategy, and they were well organized, and a little chance of breathing would not be left to the North and Russia. The South *** team that landed in Lushunkou had heard of a large number of people, with a total of 10,000 or 20,000 people. They were ready to recover the outside of the pass in one go, and would never give the emperor of the Northern Kingdom time to establish a puppet regime outside the pass.

Gui Liang stopped talking and hurriedly got up and said goodbye.

...

The staff room of the Qianwang Mansion was extremely busy, and telegrams were sent and telegrams were sent. Since the war between the north and south, the lights here have been all night long and not stopped for twenty-four hours.

Seeing the news that Han Jinchun's troops had successfully landed in Lushun, Ye Zhao picked up the teacup. It seemed that it was only a matter of time before the defeat of the northern country, but how to build this mess is a difficult problem, especially the rise of thieves everywhere, and even the chief appeasement regiments appointed by the southern country were no different from the small warlords. It was also quite difficult to reorganize them. It was impossible to demolish the bridge as soon as you cross the river and forcefully cut them all.
