Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 746 The Beginning of the Concession
Once the conflict broke out, it was not so easy to solve. While the common people in the outer city watched the bustle, Sijiu City tossed for more than three days, and no fewer than forty or fifty Westerners were killed in the conflict. People are still French, and there has been a serious crisis in their diplomacy with the Qing Empire.

But when the riot went on to the third day, it suddenly came to an abrupt end.

Outside the Guangqumen, where the Eight Banners of the Qing Army and the Guanning Iron Cavalry of the Ming Army fought fiercely, the sound of loud footsteps filled the sky. Coming from the north, densely packed cavalry came in with their whips raised. The tail of the money rat also trembled up and down. However, unlike the Qing army in the past, these people carried rifles on their backs and waist knives in their waists. Dozens of them wore blue uniforms inlaid with eagle tail flowers. French cavalry were also mixed in this cavalry team.

Such a big event happened, so Dorgon, who was training troops far away in Shanhaiguan, could not be unaware. In fact, Dorgon had already led his troops back on the day when the bird passed the letter.

A total of more than 8 Beiyang new troops, composed of Mongols, Manchus, and Han Chinese, returned with him.

The cavalry rushed into the city in a mess, and all the streets were cleared immediately. The bannermen who were still shouting and throwing stones were directly beaten by horsewhip and gun butts. Some banner owners and nobles wanted to show their status. Who knows Even those coat-coating servants don't give any face, no matter what Fucha family or Guarjia family, you can beat them anyway.

This is much better than the tear gas bombs of the later generations. Starting from the nine gates, the streets are full of knocked out front teeth and lost shoes. The old and young men in Liaodong who were rioting just now are just like the rabbit who saw the falcon. In that way, he fled back to his house in a swish.

At about eleven o'clock in the noon, Dorgon led his Baiyala soldiers into the city. At this time, the huge inner city of the capital had been cleaned up, and the streets were only guarded by Beiyang soldiers in blue military uniforms and armed with guns. new army.

Known as his uncle and Prince Regent, Dorgon's arrogance is definitely big enough, he didn't even go to meet the little emperor, and rushed back to the Prince Regent's mansion in a fit of anger. In the hall, Fan Wencheng, Sony, Ye Bilong, Su Kesaha and others had been waiting in the mansion for a long time. When they saw Dorgon wearing the dragon robe with a gloomy complexion, a group of ministers hurriedly flapped the sleeves of the horseshoe and fell to their knees on the ground.

"Slaves see the Regent!"

"Half a month! Only half a month!"

Walking angrily into the hall, Dorgon angrily threw a small pile of official documents and confidential letters in his sleeves on the faces of these people, roaring furiously.

"This king has only been away for half a month, and the capital will make you look like this. If this king is not here for half a year, will the mountains and mountains brought down by Tian Cong Khan and Tian Ming Khan be thrown to Ming people? "

His mouth trembled in anger, and after scolding the officials, Dorgon reached out to pick up the tea bowl, took a sip, and spit out another mouthful of tea foam.

"Go back to the Regent, the slaves are incompetent!"

Quickly kowtowed to admit his guilt, corrected his attitude first, but after kowtowing, Ye Bilong clenched his fists again with a bitter face.

"However, Regent, those Yidi people from Western Fans are going too far. If they hadn't kidnapped a woman from a good family first, they wouldn't have angered the people in Zhenghuangqi. Moreover, these Yidi people have no respect for their elders, and they actually made us full People withdraw sacrifices and no longer pay homage to their ancestors, the regent, is this plausible?"

"If things go on like this, Tian Cong Khan, Tian Ming Khan is in the spirit of the sky, how can he bless me for the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty forever?"

Values ​​and religious beliefs are indeed a hurdle that cannot be overcome. Even later generations have not resolved the differences that beliefs have brought about. Oil and blood flow continuously in the recitation of ", and now, facing this problem, it is Dorgon's turn to have a headache.

But in the end it was Dorgon, and he didn't give in at all. As soon as Ye Bilong finished speaking, Dorgon threw the tea bowl on the table angrily.

"This king has said this! Forming an alliance with these red-haired fans, hiring them to train the army, forging firearms, and building warships is a national policy! We must spare no effort to implement it!"

"Those southern dogs have Western artillery, Western rifles, and Western battleships, which made my hundreds of thousands of athletes in the Qing Dynasty hate Jiangnan. Now the warships of the Ming people can sail to Japan, North Korea, and the Ming people. If our army can land in Jinzhou and North Korea, one day he will be able to land in Tianjin and the capital. Now that the Qing Dynasty has a vast territory, if it remains the same, the Ming people will come back sooner or later. Hard-core crops, Tian Cong Khan, the foundation laid by Tian Ming Khan has been in vain, are you worthy of your ancestors?"

Blowing his beard and staring, Dorgon slapped the table and roared crazily. Ye Bilong and the others were silent again. However, many people still showed dissatisfaction. Back then, Nurhachi left the ancestral training, riding and shooting was the Qing Dynasty The foundation of a country, future generations must not be lazy!Back then, the Qing army also rushed forward against the fire of the Ming army's guns and artillery, and did not see a battle lost. Many old Manchus were still very resistant to firearms.

This kind of gaze also made Dorgon sit back heavily annoyed, picked up another cup of tea, and poured it with his head raised.

Seeing his head staring at the pair of dragon pattern riding boots under the throne, and then looking up at Dorgon's frowning, Fan Wencheng was willing to share his master's worries. After thinking for a while, he stepped forward and bowed to ask for instructions.

"My lord, otherwise, anyway, those barbarians, barbarians, and barbarians are just admiring the prosperity of our heavenly dynasty, eager to do business, to earn money and goods. Our dynasty has a vast territory, and Zhigukou in Tianjin is where these barbarians live, and they are separated from our people. It’s okay if you don’t!”

Hearing Fan Wencheng's words, dozens of Qing officials couldn't help nodding.

In the late Qing Dynasty, nothing humiliated the Chinese people more than in the Chinese territory, the concessions divided one after another by the great powers, the Chinese and dogs were not allowed to enter, the sick men of East Asia, the foreigners bullying the Chinese on Chinese soil with sticks, China The law cannot give protection, which is simply a symbol of backwardness and beatings.

However, few people know that many of these concessions were voluntarily ceded to foreign powers by the Qing Dynasty. For example, the British Concession in Shanghai was the Shanghai County Daotai Gong Mujiu who took the initiative to sign the "Shanghai Land Concession Charter" with the British consul Barfur. There is also the American Concession in Tianjin. At that time, the United States was in the midst of the Civil War, not to mention sending troops to invade China, and the Qing Dynasty was afraid that it would follow suit. Under such circumstances, the Qing Dynasty still divided a large area of ​​​​the American Concession in Tianjin.

The reason is that they are afraid of being in contact with foreigners for a long time. Their democracy and freedom will infect the people who are willing to obey the people and rebel against them. Using the words in later history textbooks, it fully exposes the Qing government’s anti-people and reactionary dictatorship. the nature of domination.

However, this is a solution to the problem. Sony Ebilong and others reached a unified opinion, and Dorgon did not drag his feet. He directly ordered the Ministry of Rites to negotiate with the Dutch and French about the concession, and at the same time ordered the Ministry of Households to come together. Sea Concession.

There were still many headaches to come. The cause of the incident was that the people in Zhenghuangqi were insulted. If the old Manchus were not appeased, Dorgon, the regent, would not be able to remain stable. A large amount of money was distributed to the Manchu people as hard-core crops to appease the hearts of the people, how to add more support soldiers to fill the positions, these trivial matters, Dorgon discussed with the ministers for a long time, until the evening, Sony Ye Bilong, Fan Wencheng, etc. The important ministers just knelt down and retreated one by one.

"Master, do you want to visit His Majesty?"

Seeing Dorgon leaning on the couch tiredly, still flipping through the memorial, the Manchu eunuch next to him, Xiao Anzi, couldn't help reminding him that Dorgon is a king after all, not an emperor, and proper respect still needs to be given. .Especially from the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang's side, he also received a lot of rewards, and this great eunuch was also afraid that the more scheming Mongolian Empress Dowager would trouble him.

It's a pity that at this time Dorgon was so arrogant that he had already forgotten the authority of the emperor, he didn't put down the memorial in his hand, and hummed lightly.

"National affairs are important, that bastard, when can't we go to see it? Let's talk about it in a few days."

"Scum!"

As a slave, if you want to survive and live well, the biggest factor is not to talk too much, especially when you serve such a cruel and suspicious master as Dorgon.Just point to the point, for fear that if one more word is spoken, I will lose my head, so I hurriedly knelt down to settle down, and Xiao Anzi waited on him silently.

However, this reminder reminded Dorgon of something. After reading this memorial, he immediately tilted his head and asked.

"By the way, this incident was caused by Zheng Huangqi. Is this fellow Aobai involved? Come here, go and call me some eyeliners from the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"

"Scum!"

The Qing Dynasty was a slave society. After the slave owner gave an order, within ten minutes, the three coated slaves were called to the king's car, and they prostrated themselves on the ground tremblingly.

"The regent asks you, has Oboi been safe recently?"

Like the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, the three Baoyis are not even qualified to speak with Dorgon, and need three little Anzis to represent the text. Listening to the eunuch's eccentric questioning, the three Baoyis hurriedly trembled Kowtow.

"Back to Eunuch, Oboi has lived a very peaceful life recently. Apart from drinking, cursing, and scolding the court every day, he is drunk and sleepy! No, since last morning, he has slept for more than a day!"

"Is there anything else!"

"Let the little one think about it..., yes, yes, three days ago, he stole some money from the merchant, bought some wine and food, and went, went to visit Prince Hauge of Xiasu."

"what?"

Dorgon, who was still on the couch, casually watching the twists and turns, suddenly turned over in a jerk, and asked furiously.

"Who told him to visit Hauge, you dog slaves didn't stop him!"

I was so scared that I almost cried, the three coats kowtowed like pounding garlic, and they were full of tears.

"Master, Eunuch Qin told me to wait and see, as long as Aobai doesn't escape, don't bother him, the little one has no other choice!"

His face was gloomy like the bottom of a pot, before the three coats finished talking, Dorgon was already roaring.

"Come on, arrest this bastard, Oboi immediately!"

"Scum!"

…………

This slum in the outer city of the capital has never been so lively. In the middle of the night, amidst the sound of messy horseshoes, hundreds of torches appeared in the narrow streets. After the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the population of the capital city has been violent The number has decreased a lot, and the few remaining families in this area shivered in their houses, fearing that they would invite military disasters.

bang~

The broken door of Oboi's house suffered disaster again, and was directly kicked open by military boots. Dorgon's leader of Bai Yala's guards shouted arrogantly while holding a torch.

"Where is Aobai?"

There was no response from the dark room.

He yelled a few more times, and the soldiers of Bai Yala became impatient, lighting a torch, the leader rushed directly into the broken house, and suddenly lifted the quilt, a rotten smell rushed to his face, making the surrounding people A soldier stepped back in horror, under the light of the torch, a mummified corpse that had been rotting for an unknown period of time looked at them, seeming to show a mocking expression.

"Damn!"

After the bustle of the outer city was over, the house of internal affairs was bustling again. The regent came in person. The eunuchs at the top were in a mess like ants. The lights were on from Donghuamen to the back prison. , and the prison officer in charge of the prison, A Linbao, and others also knelt on the ground trembling.

"Open!"

He didn't have the patience to wait for Xiao Anzi to be the interpreter. Dorgon, who got the news, roared and shouted. The two terrified jailers tremblingly touched the key while explaining.

"Grandpa Regent, Prince Su is here with us, and he has never suffered any abuse or harm. The little ones made offerings to you as ancestors. Look, Prince Su, please explain to the little ones..., hey ! Who the hell are you?"

From the prison that was not much bigger than the kennel, the man who came out tremblingly leaning on the wall made everyone dumbfounded. Although he also had a big beard on his face, he had a square face, narrow eyes, and With a bulbous nose, it's definitely not Hauge!

"Hahahaha! Dorgon, even a traitor like you wants to trap our Prince Su! Just wait, in a short while, Prince Su will come back with an army and kill you!"

Trembling and standing upright, this dead man who didn't know how to appear, raised his head, and laughed smartly. The laughter was like a night owl. Fan Wencheng, Sony and others couldn't hear it. It's not that their faces are blue, and they all lower their heads.

Hauge is gone!

Things are getting bigger!

After all, Hauge is the eldest son of Huang Taiji, and he has such great prestige in the two yellow flags, and even the Zhenghong and Zhenglan flags. It was precisely because of this that Oboi Fei Yanggu and others swore to support Hauge as Xin Khan did not hesitate to meet Dorgon in battle.

Now, after taking Hauge, the two yellow flags can be bullied quite well. Either they go to the front line of North Korea, or they are sent to guard the ancient pagoda and the bitter cold places beside the wicker, and the enclosure and hard-core crops are also among the Eight Banners. At least, if it weren't for the two yellow flags and the title of the emperor's personal soldier, they would probably have been bullied.

If such soldiers meet their angry banner commander again!Before the decisive battle with the Southern Dynasties, many Manchu and Qing ministers had already begun to foresee this imperial power war among the Manchus.

It's time for a civil war!
