"It's another matter of ceding territory to pay compensation. The Manchus and Qing Dynasties are really willing to give up. It seems that except for the so-called "Longxing Land" outside the pass, which they say is ready to withdraw at any time, there is no place they cannot cede." As he spoke, Zhang Rui showed a kind of A joking yet slightly bitter look.
The reason why Zhang Rui is like this is because he has studied the history of the late Qing Dynasty since he was sensible in later generations. Basically, the whole chapter is about where the Qing Dynasty cut off and how much compensation it paid.
The people were as miserable as pigs and sheep, but they could still sing praises and praise the "prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong". The king number that China has trained for thousands of years has been reduced to scrap metal, and they can still shamelessly shout: "The times are like this, and it is the same for everyone. China's decline has nothing to do with them."
Others are: The emperor guards the gates of the country, allowing thieves to divide my body, but do not hurt any of the people.
They are: I don't care how many people the Japanese kill in the Northeast or how much grain and coal they transport away, as long as I am not allowed to be the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, I will not be willing to do so.
Others are: Anyone who openly offends a strong man will be punished no matter how far away! "
But our Qing Dynasty has completely achieved it. Anyone who offends our Qing Dynasty will pay compensation no matter how far away it is. I don’t care whether you committed a crime openly or not. As long as you dare to come, I will compensate you.
There are even "big words" released: I would rather be with outsiders than domestic slaves. Measure China's material resources and bring joy to the country.
No matter white or black, as long as they come, they will be foreigners, and they will never be unreasonable to foreigners. As a result, the national self-confidence of the entire Chinese nation has declined for hundreds of years.
Du Mu didn't understand why Zhang Rui showed such an expression, but when he heard Zhang Rui talking about the so-called "Longxing Land" of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he took over and said: "There is news that Tsarist Russia has sent three thousand A team of many people are fighting fiercely with the Manchu and Qing border troops in Heilongjiang, and the Tsarist Russian army has killed many civilians in Heilongjiang."
"It is probably because of this that the Manchu Qing chose to abandon some land on the Yunnan border in exchange for limited-time peace in Yunnan, thereby freeing up more materials to be transported to Heilongjiang and preserving their 'ancestral land'."
"What the hell, their 'ancestral land', the Ming Dynasty was too kind to take them in. But they shamelessly talked about the 'seven hates' and massacred millions of Han people in Liaodong. After entering the customs, not only They slaughtered the entire Zhu Ming royal family and massacred the city everywhere, killing countless people. A bunch of Tunguska wild boar skins!" Zhang Rui immediately became furious.
"Yes, yes, they are indeed a group of ungrateful wild boars! I said the wrong thing, please punish me." Although the Holy Emperor has not yet condemned them with his words, Du Mu quickly confessed.
As for why Zhang Rui hates the Manchus so much, Du Mu seems to understand.
Everyone knows that Zhang Rui respects his mother very much, otherwise he would not often go to the trouble of offending many gentry and customs in the name of his mother to seek a lot of benefits for women in the world. He is really a rare person in the world.
Not to mention the suffering that the Manchu and Qing dynasties had brought to him over the years, Zhang Rui’s mother was the descendant of Zhu Ming. The Manchu and Qing dynasty had an almost extermination attitude towards Zhu Ming’s descendants. How could he treat the Manqing? It's weird to have a good impression.
"It's just a sentence. I'm not someone who always loves to punish others, and you don't have to do the same." Zhang Rui comforted Du Mu.
"Yes, I would like to thank the Emperor for your kindness." No matter how casual Zhang Rui said, Du Mu still followed the etiquette and said respectfully.
In fact, Du Mu also sincerely respects Zhang Rui.
If I had known, his first acquaintance with Zhang Rui came from him following the fifth master of Zhilian Mountain to kill him. However, as things continued to develop later on, Zhang Rui was able to trust himself, the person who wanted to kill him, regardless of past suspicions. This was a huge favor from the emperor.
There has been a saying since ancient times: A woman will look good if she pleases her, and a man will die if he knows his true self. At this time, Du Mu deeply felt the meaning of these words.
"Although I don't have the name of Xiao Du, I can't compare to Xiao Du's merits. If the master is like this, no matter how much darkness I have to bear, so what?" Du Mu thought secretly in his heart.
"Where is Maliba, and why did the Manchus cede it to the Qing Dynasty?" Zhang Rui asked as if he suddenly remembered something.
"Back to the emperor, speaking of Maliba, this place actually has some connection with our Yi Dynasty. It is probably the same, so the Manchu Qing wanted to cede this uncertain factor." Du Mu organized his thoughts and replied.
"Oh, keep talking." Du Mu's words suddenly made Zhang Rui feel interested.
"In the second year of Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Yongli was hanged to death by Wu Sangui on the forced death slope in Kunming. After Emperor Yongli's death, except for a small number of his subordinates who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, most of them followed the general Yang Gaoxue and fled to the Sino-Burmese border. They took refuge in Kegan Mountain near the line, which is the Maliba. After that, they continued to deal with the Qing army here for a long time. Until later, the Qing Dynasty established the "Mubang Xuanwei Division" near Lashio and ordered Yang Gaoxueshi to guard it. After all, their struggle with the Qing Dynasty is over." After finishing speaking in one breath, Du Mu involuntarily took a deep breath and continued.
"Now in the Burmese-Qing war, the chieftain of Maliba, Yang Weixing, did not choose to surrender because he came to Burma with force. Instead, he has been fighting Burma from the rear, which caused great trouble to the Burmese army's logistics. This also made the Manchurian The Qing army received considerable help."
"However, even if the newly appointed chieftain Yang Weixing is more capable, it seems that it is not enough for a Maliba land to fight against Yong Jiya, the hero who has just unified Myanmar."
"The Manchus and Qing Dynasties are not interested in the war in Yunnan at this time. Moreover, they probably think that the people in Maliba are just survivors of the Ming Dynasty, and they are forced to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. Now that I, the Yi Dynasty, are here, they will rebel at any time. surrender us, so we think it is rational to give up the danger of rebellion at any time in exchange for stability on the Yunnan border."
"As for Myanmar, blocked by Maliba and other parties who are unwilling to surrender to its chieftains, it is unlikely that it will go further. Therefore, both the Manchu and the Qing Dynasty have the idea of reaching an agreement. Once they reach an agreement, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties will gain If we take a breather, Myanmar will go on a killing spree on the newly acquired land to gain additional strength, which may threaten our Guangxi."
"Oh, Myanmar. If I remember correctly, Emperor Yongli was humiliated in Myanmar!" Zhang Rui looked cynical.
When Du Mu saw Zhang Rui acting like this, he knew that Burma was probably going to be in trouble this time, and he replied indifferently: "Yes, it was the King of Burma who personally handed Emperor Yongli over to Wu Sangui, and that's why Emperor Yongli was like this. He was easily killed by Wu Sangui."
Note ①: The meaning here is Xiao Li Du. That is, in the Tang Dynasty: Du Fu and Li Bai became Big Li Du, while Li He and Du Mu were called Little Li Du.
