Chapter 507 Running away
The capital, in the Fengtian Hall of the Forbidden City, Ning Yu sat on a high seat, and the ministers stood in two rows on the left and right, and held the real first grand court meeting since Ning Yu came to the capital, so everyone was holding their breath I am afraid that some low-level mistakes will occur.

Strictly speaking, since Ning Chu established the two-capital system, many people will worry that the old events of the Ming Dynasty will repeat themselves, so that it will turn into signs of party disputes. Some veteran officials have even tactfully persuaded that the country should not have two centers. The system is not necessary, and it will cause a large number of redundant officials, which is really not worth the candle.

As we all know, due to the change of Jing Nan, after the Ming Dynasty moved its capital to Beijing, for various reasons, it still retained the status of Nanjing as the capital, and retained a set of central institutions. Institutions such as the Military Governor's Mansion, the Imperial Academy, and the Imperial Academy have the same level of officials as the capital.

But everyone knows that although the grades are the same, the jurisdiction of Nanjing officials is limited to Nanjing, so the power is much lower than that of Beijing, so at that time everyone regarded Nanjing officials as idle jobs. If officials were transferred from Beijing to Nanjing, it would be a A kind of belittling.In the late Ming Dynasty, party struggles intensified, and it became a common method to demote officials of the other party to Nanjing. Therefore, the winning faction and the losing faction often occupied the two capitals and attacked each other.

Ning Yu can naturally understand this idea, so he also made some changes to the two capital systems. First, the two capitals only set up one team, not two systems, so as to ensure the unity of power. On the other hand, although the two capitals There are resident officials, but they will not choose to be permanent, but will depend on the reason.

Just like Ning Yu himself, he will not live in the capital all year round, nor will he live in Nanjing all the year round. He can go back and forth between the two capitals to bridge the north and the south. As for the problem of distance, it is indeed a problem in this era. , but you can also find ways to improve it.

According to the plan of the Transshipment Department, if the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway is completed, a major railway between the north and the south, that is, the Beijing-Nanjing Railway, can be considered when the technology is further matured, so as to open up the land transportation line between the north and the south. Before, it was entirely possible to use sea boats or canals to communicate north and south.

In fact, Ning Yu has a deeper consideration, that is, when the research base develops radio as soon as possible, then it can also use radio to communicate with each other, but the technology is still being researched, so it is not known when it can be used in detail stand up.

Ning Yu was thinking about various suggestions for the Second Beijing System, but he didn't care about some things at the court meeting, but this kind of court meeting was originally mostly about face, so there was really no real content.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, chambers of commerce in the northern provinces have been established, and now they have all been incorporated under the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce, but there is still a section. Shanxi merchants have a lot of unruly things before this, I don't know how to deal with it?"

Ning Zhonghai, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, showed a wry smile on his face. Since the North-South Chamber of Commerce held a joint promotion conference, there have been many similar problems.Among them, Shanxi has just been completely settled down, and the positioning of Shanxi merchants has become a headache.

Everyone knows that Shanxi merchants played a disgraceful role in the late Ming Dynasty, and even provided a lot of military intelligence to the Qing army. Therefore, when dealing with the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce, it is inevitable to substitute many emotional factors.

Ning Yu frowned slightly, "After the end of the Northern Expedition, the liquidation against the traitors has basically been implemented, especially the trials of the Eight Great Masters of Shanxi Merchants have basically been completed. Now the common development of the North and South Chambers of Commerce is a major event, so naturally we cannot Shut down the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce."

The trial of traitors is of course necessary, but Ning Yu does not want this trend to expand to the entire Shanxi merchant field again and again, otherwise it will not be fair to other merchants in Shanxi.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

With the emperor's words, Ning Zhonghai undoubtedly felt a lot easier. Some things must be expressed by the emperor, otherwise there will be heavy resistance when things get down.

After the Great Court Meeting, Ning Yu directly summoned Cui Wancai and Ning Zhongyi to the Imperial Study Room, the purpose of which was naturally to discuss the matter of the Korean Common King.

After Cui Wancai finished reading the brochure sent by Zhao Xiantai, his brows relaxed a little, and he said in a low voice: "It would be a good thing if Your Majesty becomes the King of Korea, but I'm afraid it won't have much effect on the situation in Korea. "

The meaning of the words is nothing more than saying that even if Ning Yu became the nominal king of North Korea, he still doesn't count the affairs of North Korea, and the second class of North Korea is still in charge.

Ning Yu raised his eyebrows slightly. Of course he understood the essence of this, but he didn't care about it at all, and said softly: "The purpose of taking this title of monarch is to better intervene in North Korea's political situation in the future, especially this time. The Qing conquered North Korea and killed a larger part of the Liangban households, and the remaining people will not become a scourge in a short time."

"If it's a foreshadowing for the future, it's a good move." Cui Wancai licked his lips, and he always felt that there was something Ning Yu hadn't revealed yet.

Ning Yu was noncommittal, looked at Ning Zhongyi and said, "Uncle Wang has been working hard recently, and his gray hair has a little more, so we should pay more attention to rest!"

Ning Zhongyi chuckled, and said: "Your Majesty doesn't know something. Recently, there have been fewer opportunities to go to the battlefield, but I feel that I have gained fat. This time, Your Majesty is calling, could it be that we are going to fight?"

Ning Yu stood up, walked to the newly hung Korean map, smiled and said, "That's right, this time the Qing court should be completely resolved."

In Seoul, although the war has basically subsided, there are many undercurrents hidden under the calm surface, especially when the news of Li Yun's death in Jeju Island came, the people spontaneously put on white filial piety to mourn for this poor Dai Xiao, the king of Joseon—it's not that the people love the king so much, but more because of their dissatisfaction with the current king of Joseon.

Since the Qing government came into power in Korea, it used the banner of the King of Korea to act mischievously. The implementation of various measures not only made the Korean people deeply dissatisfied with the Eight Banners, but even filled with resentment towards the Lee family. Will it be reduced to the end of two random encounters?
When the people in Seoul spontaneously put on mourning for Li Yun, Li Chang, the new king of Joseon, felt unspeakably embarrassed. He was kneeling obediently in front of Emperor Qianlong without saying a word.

Minister Shen Wan also knelt in front of Emperor Qianlong, holding a booklet in his hand, and respectfully said: "My Majesty, I think that the thieves in Jeju are leaderless, and I ask the Heavenly Soldiers of the Eight Banners to recover Jeju as soon as possible, and put an end to the rebellion in one fell swoop."

Good guy, this tone has already defined Jeju as a traitor, but in fact, everyone present knows who is a traitor.

Zhang Tingyu on the side chimed in: "Master Shen's words are very true. The Korean people's hearts are in turmoil, and Jeju Island is the source of it. If Jeju can be pacified, it will surely save the hearts of the people."

Emperor Qianlong pondered for a while. It wasn't that he didn't want to take back Jeju, but the reason why the Eight Banners army stopped at Jeju right now was not because of the lack of ships.

The current North Korean navy is basically in the hands of Jeju. Although they can't last for a long time, they can do it for a while. At least the current Qianlong can't directly change the ship.

Shen Wan laughed, and he said loudly: "Your Majesty, the servants also have some contacts among the Korean Navy, if the Emperor can give the servants a few copies of official titles, he will naturally be able to persuade some of them to fight against the Qing Dynasty. "

Emperor Qianlong was overjoyed when he heard this. He didn't expect that Shenwan would really work. If he had a ship, he would not only be able to wipe out Jeju, but also prevent the Ningchu navy from launching a surprise attack from the south.

The North Korean King Li Chong who was kneeling beside him was extremely surprised. He looked up at Shen Wan, but found that he didn't know this teacher well. He didn't expect this teacher to have such a relationship from the beginning, that is to say, at that time Shen Wan could have taken him to Jeju with him, and now that he has come to this end, Shen Wan presumably did it on purpose.

Shen Wan could naturally feel Li Kang's gaze. He didn't feel ashamed in the slightest, on the contrary, he looked calm and composed, because in his opinion, if he went to Jeju Island with the Shaolun faction, he might not be able to avoid it in the future. One death—it would be better to vote for Daqing. Of course, before surrendering, you have to prepare a big gift for Daqing, which is Wang Shidi Li Chang.

Just when the monarch and ministers were in harmony, I saw Xu Yuanmeng walking in holding a booklet, with a bit of resentment on his face, and he didn't even hide it too much in front of Emperor Qianlong, but let other ministers Somewhat surprised, this is not taking the emperor seriously!
"Your Majesty, something is wrong. There is a secret message from Jeju that Cui Kuirui and the others are going to make Emperor Ningchu the King of Korea!"

This sentence stunned everyone. That's right, because Xu Yuanmeng spoke Chinese, so no matter whether they were Manchurians or Koreans present, they could understand it, and the first moment they understood it was, This news is false!

Emperor Qianlong stared blankly at Xu Yuanmeng, and said in surprise: "How is this possible? How can the Korean people agree?" In fact, what he thought in his heart was that Ning Yu was too shameless, and he didn't even have the nerve to be the king of North Korea. , and even supported the puppet Li Jing, but Ning Yu was lucky enough to sit on the seat of the king of North Korea!
If I had known. If I had known that the Koreans were so strong, then it would be better for him to be the king of North Korea himself!
Li Chong, who was kneeling on the ground, was also stunned. He always thought that as long as he could kneel well, he would be able to secure the position of the king of North Korea. After all, among the Li family's children, he was the most honored at the moment, while the other common people were not at all. There is no way to threaten his position, as long as North Korea is still Lee's North Korea, then Li Chang is a proper king!

But now when he heard the news, Li Wei was instantly stunned. Looking at Xu Yuanmeng's distraught face, he said bitterly, "Is what Master Xu said true? Could there be some misunderstanding?"

Xu Yuanmeng glanced at Li Jing, and said in a bad mood: "I want to teach the king of Joseon to know that this news came from his confidantes in Jeju. The news is absolutely true. As for why Ning Yu was made the king of Joseon and why Cui Kuirui agreed, that's the question." The point is not yet known."

Emperor Qianlong felt a burst of upset, he stood up and waved his hands, "You continue to investigate the news, you must find out the truth as soon as possible." After he finished speaking, he glanced at the distraught Li Chong again, but his heart was more or less A little disdainful, let such a person be a king, it's better to do it yourself!

Zhang Tingyu on the side sighed slightly. Following the strange changes in the situation in North Korea, he could no longer understand Ning Chu's next operation, but this incident had already made him smell the danger in it.

"Your Majesty, if this matter is true, I'm afraid that Ningchu's army will attack North Korea in the near future, and we need to make preparations earlier." Zhang Tingyu took a deep breath, speaking urgently and quickly .

Hearing this, Li Wei became a little flustered again. In his opinion, he bears the name of the king of Joseon on his head, and he is already inseparable from Ning Chu. If he is caught by the Fuhan army, he is afraid that he will die in the future. At that moment, he begged Qianlong, "Your Majesty, what should I do if the Fuhan army really comes over?"

Emperor Qianlong finally got a little impatient, and said to Shen Wan: "The king of Joseon is tired, first help him to rest."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Shen Wan lowered her head and helped Li Chang leave with a humble expression.

After the two left, Emperor Qianlong sighed softly: "I'm afraid Ning Chu is determined to win North Korea, but the Qing Dynasty has already lost its ancestral land, where can it go now?"

The hearts of the people couldn't help but feel a little heavy. They all thought of this problem, but there was no way to solve it. The Battle of Baliqiao had completely destroyed the ambition of the Eight Banners, and now the Eight Banners are not willing to fight at all, even if they continue to flee, It's better than throwing your precious life on the battlefield.

Since the fight fails, only peace talks are left, but the problem is that the Fuhan Army has almost made it clear that there is no room for peace talks, and the only way to go is unconditional surrender, and this will not be recognized by the Eight Banners at all. .

Zhang Tingyu pondered for a while, then slowly said: "Your Majesty, the Russian envoy Sarawula sent a letter to the servant a few days ago, claiming that the Russians are now building cities in Yunchun and Vladivostok, and Yunchun is quite close to North Korea. If you are not caught, you may go to Yunchun."

Emperor Qianlong's eyes lit up at first, but then his expression darkened, because he immediately understood what was behind this sentence, Yunchun was a desolate place, and it would not be able to support tens of thousands of Eight Banners soldiers no matter what. When I really want to go to Yunchun, I guess it will be hard to bring thousands of people around.

Especially after the loss of Shengjing, all the family properties preserved by the Eight Banners were copied by the Fuhan Army, so that Qianlong had nothing to sell right now, let alone negotiate with the Russians.

Hey, what should I do after this?
