The Sun Never Sets Great China

The peace talks were held in Jinan, Shandong. The content of the peace talks was relatively mild. Neither party had any harsh requirements or conditions. It was that the two sides could not reach an agreement on the Mongolian cavalry who often harassed and attacked the defense line and controlled areas. The Manchu and Qing negotiators said that these Mongolian cavalry They were not in command, and the negotiating minister of the Southern Ming Dynasty asked the Manchu Qing not to supply these Mongolian cavalry supplies, while the Manchu negotiating minister thought that they and the Mongolian princes were also allies. They will attack Nanming.Later, after the Ming and Qing parties could not reach a consensus on this issue, and after a month, there was no result. The negotiating officials of the Ming and Qing parties reported to their own emperors and let their respective emperors decide.

When the negotiations between the two sides reached a stalemate, 15 Mongolian cavalry attacked and harassed the defense line again. Huang Ziya, Chen Zilong, Hong Ying, Gao Yigong, Li Guo and others led the fifth, sixth, ninth, and ten A total of 9 divisions and 15 militiamen retreated one after another and threw food and treasures to lure the enemy. All the way, they lured 15 Mongolian cavalry to the low-lying area near the Yellow River and flooded the enemy.For a total of 1000 Mongolian cavalry, only more than 45 people escaped and were captured by the guards. The rest were drowned, and only [-] people fled back. The Mongolian princes who suffered heavy losses also retreated slowly back to Mongolia.

After the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and Emperor Shunzhi heard the news, they hurriedly sent a message to the Minister of Manchu and Qing Negotiations to explain that the Mongolian cavalry would never invade the border of the Ming Dynasty again, and asked to continue the peace talks.In order to lure the Mongolian cavalry, the Chinese army killed 1 guard soldiers and more than [-] strong men, and many were injured, resulting in great losses.Therefore, the negotiating minister of Nanming who was instructed also continued to sit down and negotiate peace with the negotiating minister of Manchu and Qing Dynasties.After the two sides had no differences, the negotiations went smoothly, and soon a peace treaty including a series of clauses such as mutual non-aggression and mutual market transactions was signed, which was called the "Jinan Peace Treaty".

Winter is coming, and the weather in Nanjing is not very cold. Zhang Huahan and Wu Tieli are closely guarding Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong, who is out of the palace in plain clothes, walking on the spacious avenue. His personality has changed a lot, except that he occasionally vents the sexual desire caused by male hormones with a few close concubines, and he is no longer attracted by beauty because he cannot have sex, but he has become serious about the government. Later, I suddenly wanted to go out of the palace in plain clothes to learn about the people's livelihood in Nanjing.

There are many teahouses in Nanjing. Zhu Yousong saw a tall three-story teahouse and walked in. Zhang Huahan and Wu Tieli followed closely and entered the teahouse.

Zhu Yousong asked for the private room by the window on the third floor. Under the leadership of the staff, he went to a private room with mahogany tables and chairs by the window on the third floor. After sitting down, a thin tea doctor in his 40s and a Guys with water, tea and purple sand tea sets.

After Dr. Tea made a pot of tea and poured tea for the three of them, Zhu Yousong asked Zhang Huahan and Wu Tieli to sit on both sides of him, and asked Dr. Tea to go out to greet other guests.Zhu Yousong took a sip from the teacup and said, "It smells good." Wu Tieli took a sip and said, "It still smells better than drinking it." Zhang Huahan took a sip and said, "Well, it tastes good It’s green tea.” Zhu Yousong couldn’t help laughing and said: “Mingqian Longjing, it’s not bad, you two are such a pair of treasures, one is honest and knows nothing about martial arts, and the other is really capable, but only The amount of tea is not elegant, you can indeed drink a jar of this tea, I know that, but even if you can drink ten jars of tea, you still don’t know what kind of tea it is!" Zhang Huahan and Wu Tieli both hehe smiled.

Zhu Yousong said to Zhang Huahan: "Hua Han, you have been instilling in me your fantasy society every day whenever you are free. In fact, I also know that you have your ideals, and now I can understand your kind of society. The ideal is not for yourself, but for our entire nation. I used to be stupid, but now I am very clear about my past mistakes. To be honest, without you, Nanming and I would be doomed. Besides, you are a strange person who saves face. People who know how to back down have great ambitions but no ambitions. I am not belittling you. If you hadn't met me and Huang Ziya and a group of people, I guess your career would not be possible." Zhang Huahan said: "Master, you How do you know I'm not ambitious?" Zhu Yousong said with a smile, "I've known you for such a long time. You have no desire for power, and you have ideals but no drive for ambition. In fact, if you are ambitious, you will definitely want to If you find a way to leave me and go back to your territory, no matter how loyal your subordinates are, you don’t know if you can keep your loyalty without them. As long as you have the desire for power, you will be afraid of losing their loyalty, but what about you now? Don't care. And if you are an ambitious person, if you have strength, you will kill me even if I don't hinder the revolution. But what about you? Why have you been so earnestly telling me about the constitutional monarchy and the democratic system in the past two days? You don't want to see me standing on the opposite side of you. You are not a leader, and neither am I. We are all emotional people, and we will be pushed down sooner or later. I advise you that the revolution has really succeeded and established. Since the establishment of a constitutional monarchy, if you are squeezed out and hunted down by the new leader, come and join me. In fact, I am safer than you, at least the prime minister or president cannot do anything to the royal family, which represents the highest symbol of the country." Zhang Huahan stared blankly Zhu Yousong said: "You? You agreed? I can't believe it." "I wouldn't agree to the old me. Even if you saved my life and will protect me loyally in the future, I will never agree." I will agree. And after the accidental injury, I now have a clear mind and think about a lot of things. You are right. The development of a nation and a country depends on social and economic development to advance by leaps and bounds. Everyone has money. If everyone is educated, ordinary people can live a good life. Even if you are an official, you are still an ordinary person. At least everyone is absolutely equal on the surface. The emperor who can establish such a system, I believe Qin Huang Han Wu also It’s not as good as Tang Zong and Song Zu. They can be famous forever. Everything has to be done step by step. Now many wealthy people in Huguang and Zhejiang have tasted the sweetness of industry, but everyone’s money is earned by the Zheng family in Fujian. There are many, Zheng Zhilong is still reliable, and he still obeys the court in name, but his son Zheng Sen took more than half of his people from his father and established an army of 30. It is said that there are [-] armored soldiers. Disrespectful, it is said that King Tang is in his barracks, so it seems that nothing good will happen!" Zhu Yousong became worried again as he spoke.

Zhang Huahan said: "Master, don't worry, you will have to deal with them sooner or later, but now is not the time, wait until the Manqing is cleaned up." Zhu Yousong said: "Yes, we will talk about it after the Manqing is eliminated, and let the outside world first. By the way, Gu Yanwu and Chen Zilong led a reorganized [-] troops into Sichuan, and with Yang Zhan, Zeng Ying, Hou Yongxi and other central Sichuan troops, I don't know if he can deal with the Eight Great Kings." Zhang Huahan said: "Gu Yanwu and Chen Zilong are both civil and military talents, but young master , Sichuan is pacified, but you must implement the New Deal first! Anyway, Sichuan is already a mess." Zhu Yousong nodded and said, "No problem." Zhang Huahan said happily, "Thank you, young master."

Zhu Yousong and Zhang Huahan talked for a long time. The honest and illiterate Wu Tieli didn't quite understand what the two were talking about. He just concentrated on dealing with the preserved peanuts, melon seeds and various fruits on the table, but he listened vigilantly to the changes around him. .

After Zhu Yousong and Zhang Huahan chatted for a few more words, they were hungry. Only then did they realize that it was already past noon, and the sun was already westward. Zhang Huahan, who didn't know the current time, looked at the sun, probably in the afternoon It looks like three or four o'clock.

Zhu Yousong took the two of them downstairs, and Zhang Huahan was in charge of the money. After he paid the money, he followed Zhu Yousong to the restaurant in front of him for dinner.

The Yangtze River Restaurant is a huge restaurant opened by Hu ** in Nanjing. In fact, it is a six-storey restaurant constructed of fine steel and cement and stones developed and produced by Hu ** according to the concept formulated by Zhang Huahan. The bosses behind it are Zhang Huahan and the nurse, so the Yangtze River Restaurant is higher than any palace in the Nanjing Palace, and no one cares about the height that violates the regulations. In fact, several censors have participated in a book, but Zhu Yousong knows It was Zhang Huahan's nurse who opened it, and immediately gave a royal criticism: "The height I am going to allow is exactly the right height."Immediately all the officials stopped asking about this matter, even some ministers who often picked on the emperor's faults did not point fingers at this matter.

It was the first time for Zhu Yousong, Zhang Huahan and Wu Tieli to see the Yangtze River Restaurant. When they saw the Yangtze River Restaurant from a distance, which was called the landmark building of Nanjing by people from all over the world, they were all fascinated by this magnificent building. Startled.

Zhang Huahan has experienced the world of modern [-]-[-]-story buildings, but he has never seen this one, which covers hundreds of acres and is built with [-] floors higher than a [-]-story modern building. One floor tops four or five floors!It's like the house in the kingdom of giants in the European fairy tale world.

The three of them walked for a long time before they came to the front. Only when they got close did they feel the majestic and towering buildings. Zhu Yousong walked to the huge gate of the building, ignoring the mocking eyes of the guards and the attendants in front of the door. After stroking, he said to Zhang Huahan: "This? Did it really take a year to build? My God? I have never seen such a magnificent building. You are really good at it! The people under your command are really amazing, The ministers all said how tall and magnificent this place is. Liu Benshen said in the censor's reference book that it was more magnificent and imposing than the palace. The restaurant! It's really the first floor in China!"

The three of them were muttering at the door, but the doorman and the door attendants who greeted the guests with smiles and the shopkeeper in front of the door looked carefully at Zhang Huahan and immediately entered the restaurant.Knowing that Zhu Yousong was jealous, Zhang Huahan said, "Master, there will be many more buildings like this after peace comes, and the place where you live can be rebuilt into higher pavilions! Now we don't have so many to expand the palace." Money and strength, the reconstruction and expansion of your palace is not a matter of one building!" Zhu Yousong said: "In the future, I will definitely build a higher palace for me, but let's agree, I will help you revolutionize my own life. Now, you have to fulfill your revolutionary promise! It's a deal! We're a deal!" Zhang Huahan nodded in agreement.Zhu Yousong turned his head and saw Wu Tieli, who was half a step behind Zhang Huahan, looking up at the tall pavilion, with a half-foot-long saliva hanging from the corner of his mouth, and knocked him on the head with the paper fan in his hand, saying: "It's so embarrassing!" , Give me back the thing at the corner of your mouth, it’s really shameful, I really don’t want to know you, a shameful person, really. Come on, let’s go in and have a look at this Yangtze River Restaurant.”

As soon as the three of them walked into the entrance of the huge restaurant, they saw a fat old man in luxurious clothes, led by several shopkeepers, to welcome the three of them, and the guests who came and went looked at the three two tall and one short people strangely. What is the reason? Zhang Huahan and Wu Tieli are both in strong clothes, with a waist knife pinned to their waists, and Zhang Huahan has a musket in his back waist, but it is wrapped in oilcloth, which makes people think it is also a knife. Only Zhu Yousong wears a long gown.So the people around point to Zhu Yousong and suspect that it must be the son of the prince and nobleman, and some people point to Zhang Huahan, saying that this scholar looks thin and tall, he is probably pretending to be a scholar, he is probably the son of the hotel owner, and he can say anything. have.

Zhang Huahan, however, knew a fat old man with luxurious clothes. The fat old man was the old king who managed the residents of the water village in Taihu Lake. His three sons and one son-in-law were all police officers. He died in battle, and his family made a lot of contributions to the cause of revolution. He was the apparent owner of the Changjiang Restaurant sent by Huang Zongxi. After the shopkeeper in front of the door recognized Zhang Huahan's appearance and told him, he came to greet him in person. Zhang Huahan came here, and he knew Emperor Zhu Yousong from the portraits looked through by the insiders of the government affairs of the government, so he recognized the emperor at a glance.

Old man Wang immediately knew that the three of them had come in microservices. After he dispersed the shopkeepers and onlookers around him, he immediately walked up to the three of them and said, "Masters, there are princes and ministers on the sixth floor. I'm seated, there may be a few adults still here, where do you think you want to eat?" Zhang Huahan couldn't make up his mind, so he looked at Zhu Yousong, Zhu Yousong wanted to go to the top floor to have a look, but he didn't want to See those ministers.Zhu Yousong said directly to Zhang Huahan: "You can do what you want, Zhen, oh, I must go up, the ministers will not recognize me! You find a way, and leave it to you." Zhang Huahan After thinking about it, he said to old man Wang: "Do those who bring their female family members go upstairs directly?" A shopkeeper was about to go, and the old man Wang led the three of them into the tall aisle at the door, and entered the hall on the first floor. The hall on the first floor was nearly ten feet high, and the surrounding walls were made of glass windows proposed by Zhang Huahan, which were practical. It is frosted glass, pure glass protector. The factory run by ** has just been developed and produced. First, the army is equipped with telescopes, and it is estimated that it will be popularized soon.Besides, in the lobby of the restaurant, three floors of pavilions were erected around it. There were private rooms and dining tables all over the three floors of the pavilion. In the lobby, there were thousands of tables. It was not time to eat, and there were not many people.But there are not many people here, and there are people on hundreds of tables.Zhu Yousong looked at the majestic one-story hall, three-story pavilion, central hall, rockery, fountain, and surrounding fake trees and flowers, and said, "It's really a man-made fairyland on earth!"
