Chapter 66
This cruel act of revenge, like a sudden snowstorm in winter, shrouded the entire Qing court in panic and uneasiness. The cold wind blew away the auspicious clouds above the Forbidden City, and replaced them with a haze, making people panic, as if the end was approaching.
Emperor Qianlong, the emperor who always prided himself on his literary and martial arts skills, was sitting on the dragon chair at the moment, his face was ashen, and his hands were clenched into fists. He likes to engage in literary inquisition on weekdays, shows no mercy to dissidents, kills people from three tribes at every turn, and regards human life as nothing more than a piece of shit. However, this time, even he was frightened by the sudden storm. The majesty in his eyes was replaced by fear, and his face changed drastically, as if he saw that the empire under his rule was crumbling.
Let’s talk about Onono De, a Japanese in a foreign land. He was sitting in a simple house in the capital, fully expecting the Qing Dynasty to send reinforcements to rescue their distant country. Outside the window, snowflakes were flying, but inside the house was dead silence, with only his heavy breathing and heartbeat echoing. Suddenly, the bad news penetrated his heart like a cold wind. Japan had been destroyed and all the people in the country had become slaves. He was so scared that he almost suffocated with fear. At that moment, his world seemed to collapse, and all his hopes and dreams were in vain.
When he thought of the tragic fate of his parents, children, and those relatives and friends, Ono Otoku felt as if his heart was being eaten by thousands of ants, and he was in pain. He stood up and sat down again, erratically, as if he couldn't find a corner to rest his soul. His eyes were empty, and tears were welling up in his eyes, but he refused to fall because he knew that crying would not solve any problems.
He understood that the root of all this lay in the order of Queen Li Qingge of Great Yan. If it weren't for her, how could Uncle Shi's gang dare to act so boldly? Therefore, if you want to save your loved ones, you can only turn to this legendary queen for help. So, he gritted his teeth, mustered up his courage, and hurried to the inn, knelt down on the cold stone steps with a plop, and cried at the top of his lungs, begging Li Qingge to let Japan go and let his relatives go. The sound was as desolate as an owl hooting in the middle of the night, penetrating the clouds, breaking the tranquility of the Forbidden City, and tearing the hearts of everyone who heard it.
From the emperor to the princes and ministers, everyone listened with pricked ears and stared with wide eyes, wondering if the legendary queen would soften her heart because of Onono De's plea. They were standing or sitting, whispering, or showing sympathy, but they did not dare to express their opinions easily, because Li Qingge's reputation was well known, and her coldness and determination were well known.
Ono Onode kowtows like garlic, crying and begging: "Your Majesty the Queen, please show mercy, let us Japan, let my relatives go!" His forehead was red and swollen, and there was blood. It seeped out, but he didn't care, and just repeated the words that almost became his entire life. That scene was really sad and made people cry.
However, as for Li Qingge, she was sitting in the warm pavilion in the post house as if nothing had happened, holding an embroidery needle and embroidering her green bamboo picture stitch by stitch. The green bamboo is tall and straight, proud and independent, which seems to be the portrayal of her character. Her face was calm and her eyes were focused, as if all the noise in the outside world had nothing to do with her. To her, Onono De's cries and pleas were just the sound of a gust of wind rustling through the leaves, and could not touch her in the slightest.
Seeing that pleading for mercy was in vain, Ono Otoku's resentment spread like wildfire and spread out of control. He stood up and cursed loudly in front of the post house. He said all kinds of unpleasant things and cursed Li Qingge for a bad death. His voice was hoarse and his face was distorted, like a madman who had lost his mind. Yang Tianxiong next to him was so angry that he wanted to rush out and cut out his tongue, but Li Qingge waved his hand and said, "Ignore him and let him scold him. A person's anger often comes from his inability to do anything."
< br>
Ono Otoku lived like this on steamed buns and water. He cursed for three days and three nights, until his voice became hoarse and he was almost desperate. His eyes were full of hatred and unwillingness, but more importantly, helplessness and despair. He knew that he couldn't change anything and could only vent his inner anger and sadness here.
At this moment, the door of the posthouse suddenly opened. A gust of cold wind blew in, picking up the snowflakes on the ground and blowing away a trace of anger in Onono De's heart. He looked up and saw Li Qingge, wearing a gorgeous brocade robe, walking out slowly. Her face remained calm, but her eyes became firmer. Before Ono Ono could ask for mercy again, Li Qingge said loudly: "Anyone who dares to invade my Dayan, no matter how far away, I will hunt him down to the end! Dongying seeks his own death and cannot blame others!"
Onono De said with a trembling voice: "Even if we Japanese The samurai who invaded your merchant ship should pay compensation and apologize! Why did you kill so many people and destroy our country and make our people slaves?" His voice was filled with anger and unwillingness. , but more importantly, they cannot understand Li Qingge’s decision-making.
Li Qingge's face darkened and he said firmly: "Those who are not from my race will have different hearts! What's more, Japan has invaded our land many times and killed my people. This hatred lasts for more than a day or two. Now To destroy Japan is to wash away the centuries-old shame and hatred of China!" Her voice was sonorous and powerful, as if every word hit Onono De's heart, making him unable to refute.
Ono Onode was speechless and could only stare at Li Qingge with wide eyes. However, Li Qingge didn't seem to see his anger. He just waved his hand to interrupt his words, and then said categorically: "Listen, anyone who invades my land and kills my people will not allow them to perish. It’s not enough to repay their crimes! Not only will I make them slaves, but I will also let them die miserably and never live again!”
After saying that, Li Qingge stopped paying attention to Onono De's curses and instead noticed a bright yellow figure in the corner. She was stunned for a moment, then turned around and entered the post house. And that bright yellow figure is none other than Emperor Qianlong. It turned out that Emperor Qianlong heard that Ono Ono was scolding Li Qingge in front of the post house, so he came to watch the fun, but unexpectedly he heard such a conversation. He was secretly shocked by Li Qingge's determination and ruthlessness, and at the same time he admired her firm will and strong national sentiments.
In the post house, Li Qingge sat at the table, picked up a pen, and began to write a letter to Shi Shuyu. Her handwriting is beautiful and powerful, as if every word contains her determination and belief. She knew that although this war was cruel, it was necessary. Only by making the enemies pay a heavy price can they remember their lesson and stop invading Dayan's territory and people.
As for the entrapment and killing of the 300,000 Japanese warriors, Li Qingge seemed to feel that it was not ruthless enough. She wrote in the letter: "For those Japanese who survived, we cannot just let them go. Although they did not directly participate in the war, their ancestors and compatriots have brought us endless pain and disaster. Therefore, We want them to remember this period of history forever, so that they can always remind their descendants in the future to never forget this period of shame and hatred."
After writing the letter, Li Qingge wrote it. He sealed it and gave it to a guard, asking him to send it to Shi Shuyu immediately. Then, she stood up and walked to the window, looking at the heavy snow falling outside, feeling an inexplicable emotion well up in her heart. She knew that although the war was over, the trauma and hatred left behind would take a long time to heal. And she, as the queen of Dayan, must shoulder this responsibility and lead her people towards a better future.
At this time, Ono Ono was still kneeling in front of the post house, his figure looking particularly lonely and helpless in the wind and snow. His heart was filled with despair and anger, but he also knew that he could not change anything. He could only pray silently, hoping that one day, Japan could stand up again and wash away today's shame and hatred.
Emperor Qianlong stood aside and watched all this silently. His heart was filled with complex emotions, including admiration and awe for Li Qingge, but also helplessness and regret for this war. He knew that as an emperor, he must always keep a clear head and a firm will in order to lead the Qing Dynasty to a more prosperous and powerful future.
Although this cruel revenge brought great disaster and pain to Japan, it also made the people of Dayan more united and determined. They know that only by uniting as one can they resist the aggression and bullying of foreign enemies and protect their homes and relatives. As the queen, Li Qingge's decisions and actions undoubtedly set an example and confidence for the people of Dayan. They believe that under the leadership of Li Qingge, Dayan will surely move towards a more glorious and brilliant future.
What this matter concerns is not only the changes in the court, but also the safety of thousands of innocent lives! In this intertwined vortex of power and conspiracy, every decision may become the key to determining the direction of history.
Oh, speaking of Li Qingge, her methods are really breathtaking, ruthless yet subtle, as if every step is calculated just right, which makes people admire her.
As soon as Emperor Qianlong heard the news that Japan had been destroyed and the people of the country had become slaves, his back felt as if ice had brushed against it, and he felt a chill. His whole body shivered involuntarily, and his steps became disordered, and he almost died. Stand firm and fall. He was horrified in his heart. Who is this woman, this Li Qingge? She has such courage and means!
At this time, the moonlight was like water, shining quietly in the courtyard of the post house, adding a bit of softness to the cold winter night. Li Qingge happened to come out. She was wearing a simple and elegant brocade robe, holding a freshly embroidered green bamboo picture in her hand. The green bamboo is even more vibrant under the moonlight, as if every leaf contains unyielding pride. She had been embroidering this picture under the moonlight for a long time, and finally presented it perfectly at this moment.
She turned around slightly and returned to the house gracefully. Inside the house, Amelia Su has rearranged the embroidery frame, and the silk threads are arranged neatly and colorfully, as brilliant as a rainbow. She is waiting for new patterns to come into play, with her love and persistence for embroidery shining in her eyes.
To be an emperor, you not only need to be ambitious and able to stand alone, but also need to have the patience to sharpen your character. Just like the chrysanthemum in autumn, it can withstand loneliness and coldness and bloom proudly in the autumn wind, blooming long and gorgeously. Some of those powerful men choose to practice calligraphy to cultivate their moral integrity, while others indulge in eating, drinking, having fun, painting and writing, just to sharpen their minds.
As for Li Qingge, her foundation is not yet solid, and writing is not her strong point. She was not as arrogant about her talents as Qianlong, who could write tens of thousands of poems, and she did not bother to use that method to show off her style. She chose embroidery, a seemingly weak but hidden craft, to cultivate her mind and character.
Don’t underestimate this embroidery. Although it is a woman’s craft, the knowledge involved is unfathomable. Each stitch, one thread, and thousands of threads need to be shuttled back and forth to embroider the poetic and picturesque scene. The sound of rain, the fragrance of flowers, and the liveliness of tigers all require the exquisite skills and endless patience of the embroiderer. Suzhou embroidery, in particular, is extremely delicate, and every stitch and thread must not be wrong, otherwise the entire work will be ruined. Therefore, it is perfect to use embroidery to sharpen your mind.
Li Qingge likes the proudness of bamboo and the nobility of plum blossoms. She decided to embroider a picture of winter plum blossoms as a metaphor for herself, using the plum blossoms proud of the snow and frost to express her determination to move forward bravely despite hardships.
After threading the thread, just when the needle tip was about to fall, Yang Tianxiong lifted the curtain and came in. He whispered: "Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty has left."
Li Qingge raised his eyebrows, a trace of amusement flashed in his eyes: "I had expected this. How is Qianlong's face?"
Tianxiong secretly smiled and replied: "That face is as pale as a ghost. , as if he was possessed by an evil spirit from hell. I guess he has never seen such cruel methods in his life."
Li Qingge smiled slightly, with both pride and relief in his smile: "Okay, you go and wait. I'm going to start closing the net."
"Yes!" Tianxiong went out quickly, feeling a little more awe of Li Qingge in his heart.
Su Xiaomei said with a smile while arranging the silk thread: "Your Majesty is really resourceful. I didn't understand what you meant at first, but now I understand everything. This strategy of 'killing the chicken to scare the monkey' is so wonderful! You I'm really impressed by your ability to figure out people's hearts. . "
Li Qingge said lightly: "People are unpredictable, how can they be so easy to see through? I also took it step by step carefully. It's not easy for you to see through it before the Internet is confiscated." There is a bit of exhaustion in it, but more of it is firmness and confidence.
Su Xiaomei smiled and said humbly: "What can I do? I just understand it after the fact, just as a hindsight. Your Majesty, you are the real wise man, and every step is calculated just right."
With one stitch, Li Qingge made a hole in the satin. The tip of her needle flew up and down, like a butterfly shuttling between flowers. The branches of the plum blossom gradually appeared, and the aura of proud snow and frost seemed to have rushed towards her face.
"From the moment I decided to go to Beijing to recognize my relatives, this situation has been laid." Li Qingge's voice was low and powerful, "Qianlong jumped into the fire pit himself, and Japan came to the door on his own initiative, so I had to take action in advance. This 'kills the chicken to scare the monkeys' ', Japan is like a chicken, and the Qing Dynasty is like a monkey. Only by letting Japan be completely destroyed. Dan, let Qianlong and his Eight Banners nobles see with their own eyes the majesty of our Great Yan Navy and the terror of battleship artillery, so that they will know what real fear is."
Su Xiaomei couldn't help but laugh: "So. His Majesty asked Uncle Shi to deliberately let go and let Ono Nade come to the capital to ask for help. , demonstrated our strength in front of the emperor and officials, and killed 300,000 warriors, and demoted Japan to a pariah. What's more, it also allowed Qianlong to see with his own eyes how cruel you are to foreigners and enemies. Decisive. This move is so clever!"
Li Qingge's mouth A sneer appeared on her face: "Ruthless and decisive? This is just the beginning. I want everyone to know that I, Li Qingge, am not only a woman, but also a queen who can control her own destiny and rewrite history!" Her eyes flickered. With a firm light, it seems that he has seen the glory of the future.
Li Qingge nodded lightly, her tone revealing unquestionable determination, as if every word she spoke contained tremendous power. "Indeed, Qianlong and his Eight Banners disciples lived too comfortably. They were immersed in the prosperous dream they weaved, and had no idea about the ups and downs of the outside world. They would never know the feeling of fear, let alone understand it, until they reached the edge of the cliff. What a real crisis. We have to let them taste the taste of fear and let them know that this country is not iron-clad and unshakable."
When Su Xiaomei heard this, she immediately understood, with a cunning light shining in her eyes and the corner of her mouth. Provoking a meaningful smile. "Using Japan's incident to scare chickens and monkeys can not only demonstrate the national prestige of our country, Dayan, but also let those enemies know that we, Dayan, are not someone they can bully at will; it can also scare the surrounding small countries so that they dare not act rashly. In order to avoid following the footsteps of the Japanese, more importantly, it can allow the emperor and ministers of the Qing Dynasty to see with their own eyes how powerful our military is and make them fearful. This is really killing three birds with one stone!"
Hearing this, Li Qingge's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, but then they became soft and deep. "I arranged all this not only to avenge the centuries-old hatred of the Japanese pirates and let them pay with blood; nor just to show the majesty of our Dayan Navy and let them know our strength. My real purpose is to Let Qianlong be on tenterhooks every day, let him Feeling the fear of losing everything, only then will he have to give up the country to me and realize Dayan's ambition to unify northern China." At this point, Li Qingge's eyes became deeper, as if he could. Travel through time and space and see the future. "A wise man once said that people always like to compromise on things. For example, if you say that the room is too dark and you want to open a skylight, they may object, thinking that it will destroy the overall structure of the room; but if you say that you want to demolish it, house, then they are willing to open a skylight, because compared to demolishing the house, opening a skylight is more obvious It’s a smaller loss. This is the psychological ‘demolition effect’. I want to use this effect now to make Qianlong and the nobles of the Qing Dynasty choose to accept my conditions.”< br>
Amelia Su nodded repeatedly, her eyes shining with admiration. "The empire of the Qing Dynasty is that skylight. Your Majesty, if you want to take over the north, the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty will definitely not be willing to do so. Even if they know how powerful Dayan is, they will fight to the death because it is their ancestral foundation. But look at what happened to Japan. The country was destroyed, the people became slaves, and life was worse than death. In the future, the Qing Dynasty may be willing to achieve unification through peace talks and reunite the divided China. After all, it is better for them to retain some face and status than to be completely wiped out. "
Li Qingge was satisfied. She nodded, a faint smile forming on her lips. "This is the essence of my game. I want Qianlong and the nobles of the Qing Dynasty to see a glimmer of hope in their fear and despair, and then grasp this life-saving straw tightly. Only in this way will they willingly Hand over the country and let me realize Dayan's ambition to unify the north."
Su Xiaomei added: "Your Majesty played this game well. It's really exquisite, and every move is perfectly calculated. But the most important thing is that you and the Queen's mother and daughter are recognized. This move not only confirms your identity, but also makes the nobles of the Qing Dynasty no longer able to recognize your bloodline. and question the right of inheritance. In this way, you can inherit the Qing Dynasty legitimately.”
Li Qingge sighed and said with emotion: "In this feudal era, the dynasty is the family, and the inheritance of blood and surname is very important. I have Aisin Gioro's blood flowing in my body, so this game of chess has the possibility of success. If not This blood relationship is No matter how powerful Dayan's army is, Qianlong will not give in easily. He regards this country as the inheritance left by his ancestors, and would rather die than be the king of subjugation. Therefore, this move is the most critical in my entire plan. "
Su Xiaomei responded with a smile: "Bloodline is the strongest inheritance in people's hearts. Although some fathers may despise their daughters, blood is thicker than water, and it is better to pass the family property to a daughter than to someone with a foreign surname. There are even some families without sons, They will also recruit their son-in-law to marry into the family to extend their marriage. To continue the family's legacy. Although Qianlong is stubborn, he should make a wise choice when facing the safety of his family's bloodline and the country."
Li Qingge smiled slightly, her eyes twinkling. A glow of confidence. "You are right. Although daughters are not as good as men, they are still close relatives. Look at the example of Japan. Even members of the royal family have become slaves and suffered humiliation. But if the inheritance is passed on to daughters, the family can continue in the new dynasty. , to avoid the fate of national subjugation. Wise people will naturally make the right choice."
Su Xiaomei's eyes flashed with admiration, and she said with admiration: "Your Majesty, you are really wise. Shenwu, even No sage in ancient times can compare to you! I am so impressed by your wisdom and courage."
Li Qingge waved his hand and smiled bitterly: "I don't want to cause more trouble. This Jiangshan Club The safety of the people of Ji and Li depends on me. How can I not do my best? As long as I can realize Dayan's ambition to unify the north and let the people live and work in peace and contentment, I will be satisfied."
"Your Majesty, although you say you don't want to cause trouble, your actions are enough to shock the world." Su Xiaomei sincerely praised, "As a woman, you marched north to challenge the powerful Qing Dynasty. Your courage and determination are admirable. I believe that under your leadership, Dayan will be able to overcome all difficulties and realize his ambition to unify the north."
Hearing this, Li Qingge's eyes flashed with determination. She knows that she still has a long way to go, but as long as she has faith in her heart, nothing can stop her from moving forward. She took a deep breath and then exhaled it slowly, as if to exclude all the distracting thoughts in her mind. Then, she picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of tea, then put down the teacup and stood up.
"Let's go, Xiaomei. We still have a lot of things to do. The safety of this country, the country, and the people of Li depends on us, and we can't slack off at all." Li Qingge's voice was firm and powerful, as if Able to penetrate all obstacles.
Su Xiaomei also stood up. She bowed respectfully, and then followed Li Qingge out of the room. They know that there are countless challenges and difficulties waiting for them ahead, but as long as they work together, they will be able to overcome everything and realize Dayan's ambition to unify the north.
Su Xiaomei's face was full of doubts, and her gentle eyes flashed with a bit of confusion and pity. She said softly: "You plan so carefully, and every step is like walking on thin ice. It is really hard." Her tone was full of deep concern for Li Qingge, as if she could feel the burden she was carrying behind her.
Li Qingge shook his head gently. Her eyes were firm and deep, as if she could penetrate the chaos of the world and look directly at the dawn of the future. "Of course I know the principle of 'one force can subjugate ten societies'. Overpowering everything with strong strength is indeed the most direct method. But if we want to regain the north and achieve true unification, let this long-divided land be reunited again. As one body, although this road is difficult, it is the most suitable, and can even be said to be the only way." Although her voice was soft, it revealed unquestionable determination.
"The only way?..." Amelia Su muttered to herself, her brows furrowed slightly, as if she was still thinking about Li Qingge's words. There was doubt in her eyes, but also deep trust in Li Qingge. She knew that every decision the queen made was carefully considered.
Li Qingge stood up, her posture tall and straight, like an unshakable mountain. Her eyes were cast far away at the clear sky, as if searching for the answer, and as if she was telling the world her determination. "Xiaomei, tell me, what are the identities of most of the people who participated in wars in history?" Her voice was calm and deep, but it carried a power that could not be ignored.
Su Xiaomei was stunned for a moment. She thought for a while and replied: "Except for those generals, the rest are basically ordinary people who were recruited into the army. They had to leave their hometown for the benefit of the country, Step onto the battlefield." Her tone was full of respect and sympathy for those warriors.
Li Qingge's expression became serious, and there was a cold light in her eyes. "That's right. Whenever a war breaks out, those who rush to the front and fight against the enemy are these warriors from the private sector. They are willing to pay the price with their lives for the safety of the country. But once the situation goes bad, the fastest ones will , but it is often those dignitaries who are greedy for life and fear death. They only care about their own interests, but do not care about the life and death of the people." Her voice was full of indignation towards those corrupt officials and sympathy for the people.
"If I directly use powerful troops to suppress the situation, then those who die under the fire will not be those corrupt officials who have committed many evil deeds, but innocent people. What fault do they have to become the victims of people who are greedy for profit? How can I bear to see it? To such a tragedy?" Li Qingge's voice was full of pain and helplessness, and her eyes shone with a firm light, as if she wanted to hold up a sky for the people she loved.
"In the past, I established Dayan in order to pacify the south. It was indeed forced by the current situation. Coupled with the severe floods and the hardship of the people, I had to take such measures. But now the situation is different. In the north, Although oppressed by heavy taxes from the Qing Dynasty, the people still They can barely make a living. If force is used easily, the casualties will be incalculable. The sacrifice of every soldier is a tragedy for a family! How could I let so many families be broken for my own selfish desires? He expressed his deep affection for the people and his hatred of the war.
"Since there are other ways to unify the north and the south through blood connections and protect the people from the devastation of war, why wouldn't I do it?" Li Qingge's eyes shone with a light of wisdom. , her voice was full of expectations and confidence for the future.
When Su Xiaomei heard these heartfelt words, she was moved to tears. She knelt on the ground and said in a choked voice: "Your Majesty, your heart is more kind than that of my father. On behalf of thousands of people in the north, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to you! You are the light in our hearts and the guide for us to move forward. Direction!"
"Get up!" Li Qingge quickly stepped forward to help her up, her eyes full of tenderness and care. "Although I am a queen, I have never forgotten my roots as a commoner. In my previous life, my parents worked hard in the fields. Although I am pampered in this life, I still have the deep love for the farmers in my heart. My roots are like those of thousands of people. Closely connected. As a wise king, I know how to balance strength and softness. The truth. Both the south and the north are part of China. Although the north is currently under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, in my opinion, this is like dealing with family affairs. The descendants of Yan and Huang have the same origin, and they should naturally be harmonious and harmonious. Defend against foreign enemies.”
Li Qingge's tone was full of love for the country and longing for the future. She continued: "As for foreign forces such as Japan, Goryeo, and those big eagles and beautiful countries, if they dare to invade Dayan's territory, I will severely punish them. Externally, I use force to fight against the enemy, and internally, I use tenderness to appease the people. I hate those who are flattering to others and cruel to others. I often say: 'At home, we should live in harmony, why should we be groveling to outsiders but being harsh and ruthless to our family members? 'Only by uniting internally can we jointly resist the invasion of foreign enemies."
Su Xiaomei sat down again, she said. His eyes shone with admiration and curiosity for Li Qingge. She asked curiously: "Since Your Majesty has let Qianlong see the power of Dayan, when will you let him know your true identity?" Her tone was full of expectations and curiosity about the future.
Li Qingge smiled slightly, a mysterious light shining in her eyes. "The time has not come yet, and it is not the time to let him know. I want him to walk step by step into the trap I have set up until he cannot escape. By then, he will naturally know my true identity. And then "It's also time for him to make a choice." Her voice was full of confidence and expectation for the future.
When Li Qingge said those words calmly, her eyes shone with a calm light, as if everything was under her control. She took a sip of tea, her movements elegant and calm, revealing an indescribable noble temperament. "Don't worry, let's make Qianlong feel scared first, and wait until he is at the end of his rope before negotiating terms." Her voice was calm and firm, as if she was describing a commonplace thing.
As soon as Su Xiaomei heard this, she immediately understood what Li Qingge meant. An expression of sudden realization appeared on her face, and then it turned into a smile, which was full of admiration and trust for Li Qingge. "Is Your Majesty planning to use hard-to-get tactics?" she asked with a smile, her tone full of expectation.
Li Qingge smiled slightly, the corners of his eyes slightly raised, and that smile seemed to light up the entire room instantly. "That's right. I know Qianlong's character very clearly. He looks noble and arrogant on the surface, but in fact he is a weakling. If you want him to bow his head, you have to give him all-around measures. Blow. Like a starving person. Only then will he feel that simple meals are delicious, and he will have to be put in a desperate situation before he is willing to give up the country and beg me to accept the Aixinjueluo family." Her voice was full of contempt for Qianlong and confidence in the future. .
After hearing this, Su Xiaomei gave a thumbs up and praised: "To make the opponent surrender without fighting, this is the highest level in the art of war! Your Majesty, your strategy is really wonderful!" Her tone was full of laughter. Full of admiration and admiration for Li Qingge.
Li Qingge smiled even brighter after hearing this. That smile can captivate thousands of people, as if even the sun is eclipsed by it. Her eyes shone with a kind of smugness and pride, as if to say: "This is me, Li Qingge, a queen who can strategize and win thousands of miles."
In fact, as a person from another world, Li Qingge is very interested in The Qing Dynasty did not have much favorable impression. She had lived in that era and witnessed with her own eyes the corruption and incompetence of the Qing Dynasty. When it comes to the most annoying people, Cixi ranks first, and Qianlong ranks second. Sometimes she really wanted to kill all these people and clean up the mess. But unfortunately, her own life experience is also involved. If she killed Qianlong, the nominal "father", with her own hands, where would she lose her face? Although she can ignore her personal reputation, she cannot ignore the dignity of the country and the majesty of the royal power. She knows very well that as a queen, she must remain calm and rational at all times and cannot affect the interests of the country because of her personal emotions.
Besides, although Qianlong was not a good person, he was still an orthodox emperor. His inheritance of imperial power was legitimate, which was different from the constant disputes during Yongzheng's time. Whether in ancient times or modern times, these four words "justifiable" are very important. If the orthodox emperor falls, all kinds of heretical forces will spring up like mushrooms after a rain. Just like in the late Ming Dynasty, the three princes of Nanming and Zhu all rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty in the name of orthodoxy. The emperors of Shunzhi, Kangxi, and Yongzheng were all caused headaches by them. It was not until Qianlong created a prosperous age that these talents gradually stopped.
Li Qingge is well aware of the lessons of history, and she does not want to repeat the same mistakes. Therefore, she planned to keep Qianlong as a person and use his orthodox status to smoothly transition power and minimize bloodshed and casualties. She believed that only in this way could the people of Dayan be protected from the devastation of war and the land be rejuvenated.
As for other objections in the royal family, Li Qingge already had countermeasures. She knew that if the name was not correct, the words would not be correct. How could those opponents dare to establish themselves as kings? They are just clowns and cannot achieve anything. As long as she firmly holds the royal power, those opponents will never be able to stand up.
......
In this way, under Li Qingge's perseverance, the news coming from Japan became increasingly bad. People and soldiers resisted the rule of the Qing Dynasty one after another. They were dissatisfied with the tyranny and exploitation of the Qing Dynasty and were determined to fight for their own future. However, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty ruthlessly suppressed and killed these rebels. Men were forced to mine, and many died; women were treated as playthings and bullied at will. Members of the royal family were even demoted to slaves, doing the most menial jobs. The emperor cleaned the women's bathroom, the empress cleaned the men's bathroom, the prince was assigned to work at the urinal, and the prince was forced to clean the cesspit. These high-ranking figures in the past fell into the dust overnight and became worse than ordinary people.
When Li Qingge heard the news, there was a touch of sadness on his face. She knew that these sufferings were caused by the Qing rulers. But she also understood that if she wanted to change all this, she must first regain the north and achieve true reunification. Only in this way can the people be protected from the devastation of war and this land be rejuvenated. Therefore, she strengthened her determination to use wisdom and courage to overcome all difficulties and achieve her grand goal.
Record of Japan
Those Japanese people who were unwilling to obey were each rewarded with a peanut. Everyone knew the meaning behind this. Under the rule of Dayan, this was more than just a peanut, it symbolized a kind of majesty and an irresistible force. Li Qingge stood high up, watching all this coldly. Her eyes were as sharp as an eagle, as if she could see into everyone's thoughts. She was wearing a gorgeous brocade robe with fluttering skirts. She looked like the God of War descending, making people afraid to look directly at her.
Those who are not strong enough are still given a peanut. This is a pity for them and a warning to them. Those who are lazy and slippery will be rewarded with a peanut so that they can remember it for a long time. Li Qingge knew that these people might be unwilling and resentful, but they could only succumb to Dayan's iron heel. She sighed softly, feeling an inexplicable emotion well up in her heart. Here in Dayan, if we are unhappy, we won’t be able to enjoy the good fruits. But death, for some people, may still be a kind of relief. It is the living people who are truly suffering.
The common people of Japan were demoted to the lowest form of hard labor. Their clothes were in rags, their faces were sallow and their muscles were thin, and they looked like a group of zombies. During the day, they had to do heavy work under the scorching sun, sweating like rain, but they did not dare to slack off at all. At night, they had to receive "education" from Dayan soldiers, which was a kind of mental torture that made them feel endless fear and despair.
If someone is sick, let alone see a doctor, they may be burned by a fire. Li Qingge had seen such a scene with his own eyes. A sick Japanese was dragged out by soldiers, his eyes full of horror and despair. The soldiers lit a pile of firewood and threw him into it. The flames consumed his body and his soul. Li Qingge looked at all this, and felt an indescribable sadness in his heart. She asked the soldier beside her: "Why don't you just throw it into the sea?" The soldier chuckled and said: "The sea is not a garbage dump. If you are in good health, you can feed the fish, but if you are sick, you are afraid of spreading diseases and polluting the sea. .So burning is the best option.”
