C1537 A young man is cruel and cruel (1/2)
It was unfortunate for the Dao Guang Emperor to fall into Yi Shan's hands. During the period of First Opium War in 1840, due to the early stage of the war, the angry Dao Guang Emperor removed Lin Zexu's command and replaced it with the useless Qi Shan. This Qi Shan could be considered as the main faction, but he avoided fighting with the British, secretly sent people to negotiate, and even signed the Penetrating Nose Treaty on his back.
The main content of the treaty was to cede the island of Hong Kong to the British and to compensate the British army with six million silver. The earliest words of the treaty appeared in Hong Kong.
The Dao Guang Emperor was furious, how could the Empire of Heaven cut off its land to compensate for the debt? As for the compensation, it could be negotiated. How could the land be ceded? The rivers and mountains left behind by the ancestors could not be missing an inch. How could the countries of the Heaven Dynasty lower their heads to small countries like this?
The furious Dao Guang ordered for the investigation of Qishan, which was then transported to the capital and all of his family property was seized.
In the end, the one who replaced Qi Jian was the famous Yi Shan! Yi Shan was not ordinary, he was the grandson of the genuine Kang Xi Emperor's fourteenth son, the nephew of the Dao Guang Emperor, the uncle and brother who were forty years older than the Xian Feng Emperor, and the bloodline of the imperial family that was growing up red.
However, this brother was too funny. After arriving in Guangzhou, he was connected to a counselor called Yang Fang. He even thought of using a ”Yin Gate Formation” to fight against the British warships.
What was a Yin Gate formation? Why does that name sound so evil? To put it bluntly, this was the toilet array, ordering the local guards to plunder the civilian toilets, load them with feces and piss on the raft, and rush down the river to the British warship.
This was also a famous goal, and it was called using evil to counter evil! Don't even think about it, this plan is not very useful. At least, this idea is good, and can be considered as a primitive model of biological and chemical weapons. If a British soldier is vomited to the point of dehydration, or even a dysentery or something like that, it would count as a great gain.
Yi Shan's plan was obviously useless, after a series of failures, he lost courage in the end. He could only follow the example of his predecessor and negotiate privately, and this time, even Guangzhou City was given to the British.
After other officials reported it to him, Yi Shan was taken back to the capital to be taken care of by the people's residence. It was the royal blood that protected him. A useless person who acted tough, but was weak at heart, was suddenly resurrected after a short while.
Yi Shan went to Xinjiang to help with military affairs for a while, and then was transferred to the position of General Heilongjiang. It was also because the Qing Dynasty was seeking her own death. How dare you, an official with a criminal record, take such a high position at the border?
It could be seen that Xian Feng's ability to rule the country was only so, Xiao Letian had secretly sighed and said to the other direct descendants, this Great Qing was crippled by Dao Guang. Back then, he should not have chosen Yi Zhu the Fourth, if he had chosen Sixth, then the Qing Dynasty's national destiny would have really changed.
Although he was Xiao Letian's political enemy, but in the Manchu Royal Family, he could be considered to be someone who understood the situation.
Xian Feng placed the wrong person in the wrong place, and in the end, it was a piece of shameful agreement. This uncle of his was really a swindler and a swindler!
And now, General Heilongjiang, T?pchin, was a direct descendant that Yi Shan had used. What kind of good bird would be able to mix with him? The previous performance had proven everyone's judgment, and the headquarters was filled with mocking laughter.
Zai Chun blushed. He knew his own clan's matters. Yi Shan this uncle was indeed making a fool of himself, and the imperial government's handling of the matter was also very strange. Yi Shan had committed two serious crimes in a row but he did not receive any real punishment. The current Yi Shan was actually holding a casual post in the clan people's residence, I heard that he could eat and sleep, just like a pig.
”No!” ”Can you all listen to me finish …” Zai Chun shouted with a flushed face: ”When did I say I needed to rely on T?pchin? Since he carried out the order without hesitation, it means that he is no longer my loyal subject. Then, what's the use of me keeping him alive? ”
