Forty-eight years of Qianlong

"Ma'am, the current situation in India is as follows. Our troops have regained local governance from the British, and Leclerc has regained control of the city. He intends to bring his wife to Beihai Town after the situation is completely stable. To see you and the prince."

"My God! This is really good news!"

The woman's brows stretched, and the blush on her fair face became more intense.She bowed slightly, as if she was going to stand up, but she felt two vigilant gazes from the side almost instantly, so she smoothed out a wrinkle on the skirt with her hands very naturally, and leaned back on the chair back.

Shen Xuan and A Miao have made up their minds, as long as the French goblin does not leave, they will not move, which can be regarded as an indirect expression of attitude.Compared to Shen Xuan, A Miao was actually more tormented.She is about eighteen, and after so many years of being side-by-side with Zhao Xin, the difference between the two is only a layer of window paper.Counting himself, Zhao Xin already has four women, in other words, a table of mahjong is just right.In Tang Xiao's words, everyone is doing well at the moment, and no one wants to change hands again!

Zhao Xin is such a chicken thief, he has a panoramic view of everything, but pretends not to see it, and continues to tell Elizabeth about the local governance situation in a serious manner.

In fact, there was no overstepping between the two of them at all, and the so-called "ambiguity" was just a means for each other to get closer and test each other's attitude.But the problem is that Shen Xuan and A Miao can't understand this kind of social routine of Westerners, and the more they explain, the darker it becomes.

For Elizabeth, a woman who grew up in the political vortex of the palace, it is destined to be impossible to be pure, and every attitude she releases to the outside world has its own intentions.Although Louis XVI was alive, she put on a look of staying out of the world and was obsessed with religious prayers every day. In fact, this woman was extremely enthusiastic about politics and had a particularly clear mind.

After the "attack on the Bastille" incident four years ago, she suggested to Louis XVI immediately that it must not be condoned, but must be suppressed with an iron fist.But the weak brother did not listen to her, but chose to compromise; so all over France followed the example of Paris, and a single spark eventually became a prairie fire.

Of course Elizabeth has a crush on Zhao Xin, and it's not low.In her eyes, apart from being young and "handsome", Zhao Xin's power and strength far surpass those of European monarchs.What's more, since she and her elder brother's family were imprisoned, so many monarchy countries in Europe are protesting, threatening, and even launching wars, but in the end, it turned out that a "monarch" from the East took her and her nephew into danger. Niece rescued from Paris.

Many people in later generations think that the French court in the eighteenth century was a place of indulgence, which is neither true nor true.Many dignitaries in the upper class of the Bourbon dynasty were indeed licentious and corrupted their lives; but in stark contrast to this, the royal family was like a Puritan.

Zhao Xin has a wife, and she will not abandon her wife and children for her; and as a princess of the Bourbon dynasty, she is even less likely to commit herself to being the other party's mistress.Compared with hopeless love, restoring the royal family is her lifelong mission.

".So, wait a few more months with peace of mind. When our war with the British East India Company comes to an end, especially when the Kingdom of Mysore wins, the situation in the French colonies will be stable. At that time, Governor Leclerc will leave For local governance, I made a special trip to Beihai Town. Do you understand me when I say this?"

In order to save trouble, Zhao Xin directly explained in blah blah blah blah blah, Shen Xuan and A Miao on the side were full of black lines, but Elizabeth understood it.

She admitted that what the other party said was very reasonable. The French Indian colony was too small, and it was necessary to grab territory from the British East India Company through this war, so as to obtain enough restoration capital.Judging from the analysis Zhao Xin gave her, in order for Louisshire to return to France and take the throne, at least [-] elite mercenaries armed to the teeth would be required.

That being the case, it doesn't make much sense to stay in Zhao Xin's house anymore, especially when there are two women who look like thieves next to him.Elizabeth immediately offered to leave, and Zhao Xin and Shen Xuan got up to see them off.Because Shen Xuan was afraid of the cold, she only sent it to the Moon Gate of Erjin and then went back.

While waiting to get into the carriage, Elizabeth naturally stretched out her leather-gloved hand and motioned for Zhao Xin to help her. Zhao Xin did so with a smile. His face was flushed red again.
On the morning of January 1794, 1, outside the gate of Dongquan Temple, which is located more than 23 miles east and north of Qitai Chengzhi on East Xinjiang Road, a large number of heavily armed Northern Navy cavalry suddenly came, and even two roaring vehicles Loud armored car.All of this amazed the Han people who came here to offer incense. They thought it was some old man from the Beihai Navy who was going to offer incense!
This Dongquan Temple was built in the 54th year of Qianlong and took three years to complete.It is said to be one temple, but it actually contains three temples, which respectively enshrine Guansheng Emperor, Sanxiao Empress and Chenghuang.Since the completion of the temple, every "every five rows and ten", people within a radius of tens of miles will bring their families and families, riding donkeys and horse-drawn carriages.Cigarettes are lingering in the temple, and devout men and women are devout; outside the temple, vendors gather, setting up stalls, and hawking endlessly.When it comes to the New Year's Eve, a stage will be set up outside the gate of the temple, and the crowd will be crowded and it will be very lively.

However, when the people from the Beihai Navy arrived, they first closed the temple door to prevent anyone from entering; then they sent troops into the temple to invite out the pilgrims who entered, and gathered more than a dozen Taoist priests together, and locked them in a room involuntarily. inside the house.

Daoist Li, who was in charge of the family, was shocked, thinking that the temple was going to be raided, so he couldn't help pleading repeatedly, saying that despite the size of our temple, we didn't save much incense money, and the total was only more than 100 taels.

Unexpectedly, the Beihai battalion commander who led the team laughed after hearing this, and casually took two Beihai silver dollars wrapped in red paper from the guard behind him, a total of 100 yuan, and stuffed them into the other party's hands without any explanation.Li Daochang only felt his hands sink, and he couldn't help being surprised.

"This is 100 Beihai Yuan, which is the compensation given by our head to the Taoist priest. Please rest assured, we will stay here for half an hour, and we will leave when the time is up. At that time, believers outside can come in and worship God. Go out and explain to the people."

"Ah?!" Li Daochang was a little confused. He had also stayed in the temple and seen the world, and he had never seen such a pilgrim.After thinking for a while, he said: "Even if the adults come to offer incense, why not let the adults introduce the scenery of the temple?"

"No need!" The cavalry battalion commander looked at his watch, and then ordered his subordinates: "I'll give you two or ten minutes, and then I'll check everything in the temple carefully to make sure no one is there!"

"Yes!"

Li Daochang looked at everything in front of him in astonishment, and thought that Bei Haijun's behavior was really strange.But he didn't dare to say anything more, so he followed a soldier to the temple gate and explained to the pilgrims who were stopped outside.Everyone heard that half an hour is not too long, so just wait.

After about three sticks of incense, among the crowd watching from a distance, some sharp-eyed people suddenly saw a group of people coming out of the temple, the outermost ones were a dozen Bei Haijun, and there seemed to be someone surrounded in the middle.

Not long after, the two armored vehicles roared, and puffs of blue smoke came out from the rear, and then they headed south under the escort of a large number of cavalry.Until then, the martial law outside the Dongquan Temple was lifted, and the people who should offer incense would offer incense, and those who should set up stalls would continue to set up stalls.However, the strange things that happened on this day, followed by the mouths of the common people in Shangxiang, quickly spread throughout Qitai and Barkol, causing countless people to speculate about it.

Going back to a few minutes ago, just as Zhao Xin got into the car, he saw Fan Tong's round face, smiled and handed over a helmet, and said loudly to himself: "Boss Zhao, I have been calling you for so long, and I finally succeeded in summoning you!" Here we come. Is our security work in place?"

There is no way for Zhao Xin to choose Dongquan Temple as the anchor point.You must know that in another time and space, only the central hall of Guandi Temple still remains, and the location remains unchanged, and the others are all rebuilt during the Guangxu era.After hearing Fan Tong's words, he put on his helmet and laughed loudly: "Damn it! Listen to your tone, I've become a beast!"

"Don't dare! When I see you, it's like looking up at the Big Dipper. I miss you so much!"

"Have Jiang Ziping and your wife arrived?"

“Just arrived a week ago!”

Zhao Xin responded with "Mmmm" twice. The noise inside the armored vehicle was too loud, and both of them had to shout to hear each other clearly. It was really tiring.

Both of them stopped talking, Zhao Xin raised his hand and opened the observation window on the left side of the car to scan the world outside the car.This was his first visit to Tianshan Mountain, so he couldn't help being a little curious.

Beside the road, clusters of dry reeds stretching towards the cold blue sky passed by; the snow and dust rolled up by the galloping horses under the guarding cavalry mixed with the fierce wind, making a whistle-like sound; In the background are the iron-blue mountains and capped ice peaks of the Kaerlik Mountains, which are towering and bright like crystals.

However, seeing more of the same scenery made it less shocking. Soon, the bumpy armored vehicle made Zhao Xin fall asleep.He was really tired from rushing all the way from east to west without stopping.

More than two hours later, Zhao Xin, who was taking a nap, was woken up by Fan Tong. He rubbed his face with his hands to calm himself down for a while, and then stepped out of the armored vehicle with his head down.

"Salute~~!"

With the roar of an officer, the more than 3000 Beihai Navy members who had been lining up for a long time stood at attention. When everyone's heels were close together, there was a loud "boom".Everyone was silent, looking excitedly at the Supreme Commander of the Northern Navy.Not far behind them, the east wall of Jingyuan City could be seen impressively.On the city gate, a huge flag of the Northern Navy rustled as it was blown by the bitter cold wind.

The Jingyuan City in front of you was built in the 40th year of Qianlong. It is also known as the "Old Mancheng", and its scale is not large.This is a frontier army town. If there is no large northern navy barracks outside the city, it would look very deserted, simple and desolate.As far as the scenery is concerned, it is really lackluster.Especially the mountains in the south are so steep and criss-crossed that you can't even see a single tree.The sun's rays fell upon the sharp rocks with grotesque shifting glints like the scales of dead fish.

Zhao Xin saw Liu Sheng and Jiang Fan standing at the front of the queue at a glance. One tall and one short, one in front and one behind, they were extremely eye-catching.Although he was not wearing a military uniform, he still solemnly raised his hand in return to the officers and soldiers present, and then ordered: "Relax!"

A few seconds later, there was another bang in the queue, and then Zhao Xin stepped forward to shake hands with Liu Sheng and Jiang Fan, and then the chief officers of each regiment and battalion.Then, Zhao Xin took the electric horn handed by Fan Tong and stood on the wooden platform prepared in advance, and delivered a passionate speech. He not only praised everyone for crossing thousands of miles of Gobi and marched into Tianshan Mountain, but also talked about marching troops to the north and south of Tianshan Mountain. The great significance, and then there is the expectation for the future.During the period, the officers and soldiers present also burst into enthusiastic cheers, and the sound shook the whole field.

When he, Liu Sheng and others arrived at the headquarters of the Western Front Command, as soon as they entered the tent, Zhao Xin, whose face was numb from the wind, took the hot water from a staff officer, and sucked it in a hurry. After two mouthfuls, he wiped his face with a hot towel, and then he felt alive again.

"Good guy, let's hold a military parade in the cold! Which one of you three came up with the idea?"

Liu Sheng smiled and said, "Is this cold? Today is the best weather in this month!"

Zhao Xin just shook his head and smiled wryly, because Jiang Fan was present, so he couldn't make fun of Liu Sheng.He took another sip of hot water and said to Jiang Fan, "Mr. Ziping, from Heilongjiang City to Zhendi Road, traveling thousands of miles from east to west, north to south, what experience do you have?"

I saw Jiang Fan's lips trembling a few times, then knelt down with a puff, and said with an excited expression: "Your Highness created a hegemony that far exceeds that of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and no one can match it! Fan admires the whole body, and is willing to devote himself to His Highness in this life and follow the example of the class. Dingyuan, go west to Congling, and make contributions to foreign lands!"

"Hey! What are you doing, get up!"

Zhao Xin looked at Liu Sheng while talking, and said to his heart that you are big brother, help me pull him up.Liu Sheng understood, put Jiang Fan under his arm with one hand, and helped him up.

In fact, I really don't blame Jiang Fan for this matter, the main reason is that Zhao Xin is too "perverted", and no one's heart can stand it, let alone the mental shock.

He sent a telegram to Liu Sheng and the others the day before yesterday, informing himself of the approximate time of arrival and making preparations for the reception.Then it took two days to travel thousands of miles from east to west.Although Jiang Fan had heard of all kinds of miraculous things about Zhao Xin when he was in Beihai Town, he had never seen them after all, so it was only a momentum created to deify him personally.

For him, the most amazing time for Zhao Xin was when he and Wang Yuanfang rushed into Yangzhou City to rescue Jiao Xun and the others.But afterwards, he also felt that he could explain it. After all, he had seen the weapons and speedboats in Beihai Town before.

Jiang Fan has read a lot of books since he was a child, and he never believes in ghosts and gods.But until today, when he finally witnessed Zhao Xin's method with his own eyes, he was in a bad mood.

May I ask, among the 542 emperors from the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to the present, is there anyone like this who can shrink the earth in a blink of an eye?Even the powerful Yellow Emperor in the "Shan Hai Jing" has never heard of this skill. At most, he is good at taming beasts!
In his heart at this moment, Zhao Xin is not only a man who has achieved dominance, but also possesses divinity.
The name "Qitai" is derived from the homonym of "Khitan". In the Song, Liao and Jin Dynasties, Qitai belonged to the Liao Kingdom.Before the establishment of Xiliao, Yelu Dashi once recuperated in Qitai, and later generations called this place Qitai according to the homonym KITAY of the Khitan tribe.Many place names in Xinjiang are derived from transliteration, such as Hami, Yili, Kashgar and so on.For details, you can see "Western Regions Tongwen Zhi" compiled by Fu Kang'an's father Fu Heng.
