Your assets in Tianjing are so huge that many people need to hire a whole boat to transport them. Of course, there are more houses that can’t be transported, such as houses, which even big businessmen dare not take over, because it is obviously not recognized after the Qing Dynasty recovered here.
What they can take away is not some gold, silver, pearls and jade, but the biggest one is jade, jade, screen and other large pieces. Few people will take away ten people to carry the super big sedan chair, and even they don’t even think about these things. The big businessmen can take over.
Hundreds of days, Jinggui fled. This can’t be concealed from Zeng Guofan. He knew it. He didn’t say what he could do to fight a big battle. At this time, even the British navy didn’t support it. If you can’t fight by water, you can’t cut off Tianjinggui’s escape.
It’s just money. The Qing government was ruined and even the banners’ rations could not be distributed. But in Zeng Guofan’s eyes, money is still inferior to land.
He is a determined man. He is determined because they always have an unshakable goal or belief. Zeng Guofan’s goal is to destroy the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the belief is to rebuild Confucius and Mencius. With this great belief, he cares nothing about others.
However, if you want to ship 300,000 to 400,000 Taiping soldiers or soldiers and more families of dead soldiers away, it is impossible because Zeng Guofan’s 200,000 troops on the outskirts of Tianjing are not furnishings, but 200,000 troops have been brutally killed for 20 years.
Now Zeng Guofan is in great need of reunification, because several people have persuaded Hong Xiu to change his mind. He believes that it is also a road to heaven. He said that wherever they are, it is heaven.
Li Xiucheng conveyed the situation to the great hope and fulfilled his promise to take away all the soldiers in Hecheng no matter where they go, as long as they can live.
Li Xiucheng’s attitude is Zhu Jinglun’s expectation that he will let people contact Zeng Guofan immediately. He personally wrote a sincere letter to Zeng Guofan, hoping that Zeng Guofan could let these people leave. Of course, his attitude is also very firm and firm, telling Zeng Guofan that it is impossible to see hundreds of thousands of people being slaughtered.
But Zeng Guofan made a request at this time.
Hong xiu persuaded everyone to take everyone to re-establish a kingdom of heaven.
But Hong Xiuren must die.
This is Zeng Guofan’s request.
Zhu Jinglun Ma Bai, this is almost a fast knot. Hongxiu can’t kill Li Xiucheng by the neck. It’s impossible for Hongxiu to die violently. Everyone who calls will die.
You have lost the last glimmer of hope, and you have to continue to work with the big profiteers and pay a higher price than in the past to remove their property. Even Prince Hong has no face. In the past, you secretly sent your family heirs away. Now almost all the families are packing the last batch of property and have no scruples about going south and returning to their hometown.
Li Xiucheng didn’t stop these people who were not determined. What’s worse, these people still relied on the big ones. They didn’t come forward themselves. Big businessmen came forward to deal with all parties, from Taiping soldiers to the army and navy. These people were running. Li Xiucheng knew that the water was deep inside, and he didn’t want to get involved in muddy water.
The person who can remain soft in the face of despair is not because Li Xiucheng himself wants to save his son’s life. He hopes that the two sons can go to Daan and enjoy peace, and he himself will come to an end with Hongxiu in Tianjing.
Zeng Guofan continued to shrink the encirclement in an orderly way. After Yuhuatai, they hit Fangmen, Gao Qiao Gate, Shuangqiao Gate, Qiqiao Wengmoling, Zhonghe Bridge and other important places. Finally, they played a trick and the Taiping goalkeeper Tianjing City was completely blocked
The Taiping Rebel War became more and more tenacious or crazy. Everyone knew that they were going to die, and it was the kind of madness that broke out after they died, but it didn’t help. The crazier they were, the more disorderly they were, and the more they couldn’t get through the Xiang blockade.
The Taiping Navy has been very mutinous, and they really want to sneak attack the troops. At this time, the troops are also in wartime. It is impossible to give them a chance, not only to defeat the Taiping Navy, but also to directly seize their only three warships.
At this time, Tianjingcheng didn’t run away. Few Yang Fuqing and Wang Haiyang didn’t leave, but no one expected that even the most popular guy in Hong Wang’s report, Hong Rengan, had quietly arranged a retreat and left without saying goodbye. I heard that he had gone to Hong Kong.
There is nothing wrong with Hongxiu relying on his relatives. There is really no decent history among his relatives. After Hong Rengan was arrested by the Qing army, Lieutenant General Hongxiu was called a pseudo-king. Instead, he was considered to have no integrity. Li Xiucheng eventually called Hongxiu the king’s history. Wang Haiyang finally died and Yang Fuqing fled
It’s lucky for Hong Xiu that these people haven’t left now, but it’s also unfortunate for him, because he has never trusted these truly trustworthy people and none of them are worthy of his trust.
However, Hong Xiu did a good thing for these people in the end. Instead of dragging them with him, he committed suicide.
Hong Xiu ended his life with a dose of poison, which had long been meaningless. Since his resurrection, he found that his body had no previous function in the face of several beautiful women. He didn’t respond after eating, and his food was tasteless. He thought that this was the punishment of his heavenly father, which not only made him more devout to his heavenly father, but also made him more superstitious. On the surface, he still lived a luxurious life with a beautiful wife and a beautiful wife. He still accepted the beauty offered by those local princes, but he could not enjoy these beautiful women, but he could torture them. In his last three years, at least 100 girls died inexplicably every year
After Hong Xiu poisoned himself, it is supposed that Li Xiucheng and others should get a chance to live, but they are unwilling to hand over Hong Xiu’s body. They still decide to stick to it. It is hard to understand what kind of determination they are holding.
Zhu Jinglun’s decision to intervene strongly is not because he has any special affection for Li Xiucheng, but because he doesn’t want to watch nearly a million people follow Li Xiucheng and them.
The shift of military action from the occupied Changzhou government to Tianjing put great pressure on the Qing army.
The purpose is to deter the Qing army from winning, saying that Li Xiucheng’s determination is also to make Zeng Guofan give in.
Zeng Guofan gave in and stopped asking for Hongxiu’s body, but he insisted on checking himself. Li Xiucheng and they also gave in, but they wouldn’t hand over the body of the king to Zeng Guofan and decided to hand it over to Daein and promised to give Hongxiuli a temple to serve the body of the king inside.
The 300,000 Taiping troops were disarmed and placed by the army.
Section six hundred and forty-one Ryukyu perish
It’s not a miracle that Taiping rebels can keep 300,000 people in the end, because most of them are old, weak and sick, from white-haired grandfathers to immature scouts. Not all of them are caught, but many of them are willing to sell their lives to Taiping rebels.
Behind the 300,000 troops, there are more than 500,000 living and dead families of Taiping soldiers. Jiangnan has suffered from so many years of war. Many ordinary Taiping soldiers were able to marry two or even three or four wives in peacetime. These families all came to Tianjing with the army during the Taiping Army’s retreat to Tianjing.
Apart from these soldiers and their families, there are not many ordinary people, but there are also 300 thousand, so there are actually millions of people in Tianjing city
It is not a small project to transport millions of people away, but for a whole set of experience during the disaster relief period, it would not be so smooth to send these people away.
It is stipulated that soldiers who surrender their troops must be with their families. If they are with their families, everyone will feel at ease and will not lose control. This is a blood lesson.
Therefore, although it seems busy, it is orderly.
The agreement with Li Xiucheng is that they will all be sent overseas, but some of them can stay, that is, craftsmen attach great importance to all kinds of handicrafts, and craftsmen will give them loans to support them to continue their production, because the big-hand craftsmanship is second only to raw silk and tea exporters, and the annual export volume reaches more than 10 million.
Those soldiers who have no skills but can only fight must be sent away. First, they are worried that their spiritual beliefs will be difficult to integrate. Now they are also needed to expand their lives overseas in China as sophomores. It is an expensive and scarce skill for them to practice killing skills by killing their own compatriots.
Therefore, a large number of Taiping soldiers will be transferred to California as laborers to go to Stanford to sell the land full of Indian valleys to Lao Company. Where they go, they will not only have to dig out their fields with their hands, but also protect their land with their hands.
However, it is not reassuring to announce that these people will be sent to Alaska because they will directly send war-torn troops to other countries in batches. No one knows whether they will really go to Alaska first or not.
Before completing such a huge population transfer, Zeng Guofan’s Xiang army must honestly stay outside the city, and the army is also guarding against Xiang army nearby.
Daze repeatedly promised that he would withdraw his troops from the south of the Yangtze River after the population transfer, and at the same time, he would not destroy Tianjing’s wealth and hand it over to Xiang.
Of course, friction will never be less. The military discipline of Xiang soldiers is always a problem. It would be strange if they don’t plunder nearby residents when they are not fighting. Generally, Zeng Guofan acquiesced in this situation, but now he is trying his best to suppress it. Obviously, he doesn’t intend to get Jiangnan and lose people’s hearts.
In addition to looting, there were occasional conflicts with the army. These soldiers who were used to fighting Xiang were not angry with history. The reason why the Qing army played well with the French in Vietnam was that a group of Xiang veterans had not all died.
However, Zeng Guofan’s pressure was very hard because most Xiang soldiers came to capture Tianjing and plunder in order to maintain military discipline. Now Tianjing has been handed over to the army. Can they have no complaints? The plundered people clashed with the army
But the army is not easy to provoke and dare to provoke the Xiang army. Most of them have no good places, and even the Xiang army was annihilated by the army. Therefore, Jiangnan has become more chaotic instead of restoring calm at this time
Zeng Guofan’s suppression did not have much effect, but made a large number of Xiang troops flee and fall into the bandits’ history. After Zeng Guofan broke into Tianjing, Xiang troops were dissolved on the spot, and a large number of soldiers did not return home but fell into the bandits’ situation, which poisoned Jiangnan for more than ten years.
At this time, the attitude of the great powers was very inconsistent. France did not show that the British expressed this, but obviously they were reluctant to intervene. They only hoped that the order in the south of the Yangtze River would be restored as soon as possible and that Britain’s interests in this region would be restored as soon as possible
In order to prevent big sleep from renting a fleet of 10,000 ships of various sizes built during the disaster relief period, the Taiping Army was first transferred to Fujian coastal island Jinmen Island for resettlement, and then it was classified here and sent to different places.
Artisans who can produce folk handicrafts are sent to big cities to put bricklayers and other ordinary skills on the spot, while those who can be sent to Pacific reclamation areas to put all kinds of craftsmen there. Otherwise, even the basic life is self-sufficient and the transportation is too big by the state, which is why this colony continues to lose money.
Those who have no skills will be sent to Alaska.
But all these do not include princes at all levels, but these princes have their own choices. Wang Haiyang chose to stay in Fujian, while Yang Fuqing chose to go home in Li Xiucheng and unexpectedly decided to go overseas with his department.
The problem of Jiangnan dragged on for more than half a year. On the same day, all the Taiping rebels and their families in Beijing moved away, and then they exchanged territory with the Qing court, gradually withdrawing troops from Jiangnan and entering Yunnan from Guangxi.
The problem base in the south of the Yangtze River ended in this way, although there were twists and turns, but the result was satisfactory. The main reason was that the Qing Dynasty breathed a sigh of relief and the thorn stuck in their throats was finally pulled out. Many Qing court officials who had experienced the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement from beginning to end felt that it was over. The flag brothers also felt that they had a bright face and boasted and despised the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom all day, but the buffoon was in the final analysis, and they were going to set up a big country during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement. Ignore it and ignore it, and Zeng Guofan, the first hero of suppressing the Taiping Heavenly Army.
Zeng Guofan was also faced with a problem at this time, that is, the Xiang army was not a regular army in the end, but a rural brave military system. It should be abolished with the end of military operations, but the Xiang army was abolished and left to defend the Qing Dynasty.
Zeng Guofan’s dilemma of not abolishing Xiang has made him unbearable. Who will guard against the abolition of Xiang when it is so close at hand?
At this time, the Japanese have temporarily turned their eyes away from Jiangnan, and their eyes have turned to the east. Just this year, the Japanese took the Ryukyu royal family to Tokyo and completely destroyed Ryukyu.
This attitude is absolutely unacceptable.
Section 642nd Ryukyu Kingdom or Okinawa Prefecture
In recent years, the Japanese have changed at an amazing speed. The Japanese have directly abandoned the old baggage and rushed to catch up with Zhu Jinglun. They are not worried that one day they will be overtaken by the Japanese, which not only takes the lead, but also has many objective conditions and material conditions. If they can be surpassed by the Japanese in the end, Zhu Jinglun’s transformation is simply a joke.
Zhu Jinglun is not worried about the threat posed by the sun in his heart. Zhu Jinglun has never set his eyes on East Asia. His eyes are always on the whole world. He wants to lead China to compete on the world stage and China to win a place in the world. It is best to be able to reach the hegemonic position. He doesn’t want to see the sun grow into a stumbling block and help foreigners hold back when they strive for international status.
As long as he can have a chance to contain the day, he will not miss the necessary time. He thinks it is also a good eye to directly beat the Japanese with bare arms, which is an opportunity for the Japanese to completely annex Ryukyu in disregard of international law!
Without national feelings, Ryukyu’s international status in the Qing Dynasty was subordinate to both China and Japan, which was a small country’s embarrassing situation.
However, if you ask Ryukyu people which country they prefer, they will undoubtedly choose China because of China’s celestial diplomacy or Zongfan diplomatic roots, which is not the starting point of interests.
This diplomatic feature is partly due to security considerations, such as giving some benefits to the northern Mongolian diplomacy if the nomads don’t make trouble; However, most of them are due to the fact that the so-called face diplomacy in Tianchao countries pays attention to paying a little tribute to the other side. When Tiancao countries have a face, they will be rewarded with a lot of real money. It is a form of imitation and attachment of Confucianism to the ritual and music culture before the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
Westerners sometimes classify this kind of vassal clan as an official trade when discussing it, which obviously takes advantage of the fact that Tiancao country suffers losses and cries out the benefits of the vassal country.
Japan’s treatment of Ryukyu is more like that of western countries or nomadic people who treat submissive countries and nations, that is, seeking truth from facts and forcing each other to pay a lot of wealth
