Chapter 14 The Golden Empire Fat Daoguang (please collect it, vote for me, recommend me, and read more)

The capital of the Jin Empire was located in an intermountain basin surrounded by the Tianshan Mountains and the Gisar-Alai Mountains. This intermountain basin was originally called the Fergana Valley, but was renamed the Wuji Valley after it was conquered by the Jin Empire that moved westward.

, became the fundamental place of the Jin Empire. The capital of the Jin Empire, Bagua City, is located on the banks of the Syr Darya River in the basin.

If you look down from the air, you can see that the walls of this Bagua City look like a giant Bagua map composed of acquired Bagua and innate Bagua.

The outer city of Bagua City is called the Houtian City. It has eight groups of walls built according to the shape of the Bagua the day after tomorrow. Each group is composed of several sections of walls arranged in different ways, all corresponding to one hexagram in the Bagua the day after tomorrow. Each of these groups

A set of city walls is also a fortress that can be maintained independently. It is surrounded by sections of trenches that are not connected. The city walls are short and thick. The side facing the outside of the city has an inclination of about 60 degrees, which is very special.

It has a strong anti-cannon function. Between each two sets of city walls, there is a city gate. It is said to be a city gate, but in fact there is no gate, nor any doorway or gatehouse. It is just a gap here and there. Sections of trenches were dug outside the gap——

In order to facilitate the entry and exit of people, these trenches were not dug into a whole line, but into sections. It was very convenient to enter and exit at ordinary times. During the battle, they were blocked with horse guns and sandbags, and mounted with cannons and machine guns, which were much easier to use than city gate towers.

Already.

The inner city of Bagua City is called Xiantian City, and its layout and fortification are similar to those of Houtian City. Inside Xiantian City, it is the most prosperous and lively street in Central Asia, and it is also the most fairy-like street. Half of the pedestrians on the street wear Manchurian clothes

Among them, the men all have thick and long braids, while the other half are dressed as Taoists cultivating immortals. Both men and women wear Taoist robes, with buns on their heads, long swords on their shoulders and hands.

Holding a fly whisk, he looks like a person from the immortal way.

If someone had traveled directly to this Bagua City and seen the "immortals" filling the streets, they would have thought that they had traveled to a world where they could cultivate immortality!

What's even more amazing is that most of the "immortals" on the streets are a mixture of East Asian Mongolians and Central Asian Hu people. Some of the "female nuns" are also fair-skinned, beautiful, and have long legs. They are also quite beautiful.

Eye-catching scenery.

Occasionally, a horse team passes by on the street. The knights on horseback all have long braided arrow sleeves and a triangular recognition flag with the word "electricity" stuck on their back. When the bell on the horse's hoof rings, all the "immortals" and mortals in the street will automatically

Give way on both sides. Everyone knows that this is the Shibali Express of the Telegraph Office of the General Affairs Department of the imperial court. It delivers messages between Taiji Palace in Bagua City and the Shibalipu Telegraph Office outside the city. What they deliver are all military aircraft.

, No, it’s a matter of destiny. Anyone who blocks their way and misses the opportunity will die unjustly.

Why is this telegraph office located eighteen miles outside Bagua City?

This is of course because telephone poles and wires will damage the Feng Shui of Bagua City!

The Jin Empire believed very much in divination, divination, and feng shui. The facts were in front of them, and they couldn't help but not believe it. The reason why the Ming Dynasty was able to recover from a desperate situation was because Zhuge Zhongshan was able to figure things out.

The reason why the Jin Empire was able to create another situation in Central Asia and still continue to this day is because Zhuge Daxian calculated it with his fingers.

In the Jin Empire, almost everyone knows the allusion of Zhuge Daxian observing the sky at night to predict the Jin Kingdom. It is said that when Zhuge Daxian led his troops to the west for the last time, he had already arrived in Yili. He suddenly fell ill and felt that he did not have much time left.

, he asked his apprentice Nalan Mingzhu to push him out on a cart to watch the sky at night. After watching for half a night, and then calculating for half a night, he finally came to the conclusion that "the purity has been exhausted, but the gold remains."

In other words, the power of the Qing Dynasty has been exhausted, but the power of the Later Jin Dynasty has not yet been exhausted. According to Zhuge Daxian's careful calculations, if the Qing Dynasty changes its name back to the Jin Dynasty, then Kangxi will be able to establish the Jin Kingdom in Central Asia, and then he can continue to do so.

Eight more emperors were passed down. Even the year titles and names of the emperors were calculated. That is, Yongzheng, Qianlong, Jiaqing, Daoguang, Xianfeng, Tongzhi, Guangxu, Xuantong and so on.

Nalan Mingzhu, who had an insight into the secret of heaven, expected that his mentor King Zhuge Wuzhong was going to kill him and silence him, so he immediately ran away to the Kangxi-Galdan coalition forces stationed on the bank of the Chu River at that time and told the secret of the secret.

Kangxi. Kangxi made an immediate decision and changed the name of the country to Jin. At the same time, he passed down a decree. According to the results calculated by Zhuge Daxian, he determined the reign and names of the eight generations of Jin emperors. In other words, no matter who they are.

After winning the Great Unification, everyone must change their name to Yinzhen and Yuan Yongzheng! This is a secret calculated by the Great Immortal. Otherwise, it would be against heaven.

After this change, Kangxi soon received the news that King Zhuge Wuzhong had died in the army.

After the death of King Zhuge Wuzhong, the Ming Dynasty no longer had the energy to conquer Central Asia from the west. However, Kangxi and Galdan did not dare to think about conquering the Ming Dynasty from the east, and instead joined forces to march towards Central Asia.

The armies of Kangxi and Galdan were all veterans who had fought with King Zhuge Wuzhong for many years, and under the strong pressure of their opponents, they had also completed upgrades. They could line up to kill, charge wall-style, and artillery rifle.

They cooperated with each other on horseback, and at the same time, they did not lose their skills in archery, horse riding, and archery. The combat effectiveness of these armies was simply not comparable to that of the Bukhara Khanate, Khiva Khanate, and Kazakh Khanate in Central Asia. Therefore, Kangxi and Galdan joined forces to sweep away the

The operation in Central Asia went very smoothly. The only accident was that Galdan bumped into a group of Cossacks who came from nowhere while hunting on the Kazakh grasslands, and was shot to death!

After Galdan's death, Kangxi generously took over his wives, children, and tribesmen. After that, he settled down, chose Wuji Valley as the capital, and began to promote Taoism and fortune-telling.

I don’t know if it was because of the relatively accurate fortune-telling, but the Jin Empire entered a fairly stable era after establishing its capital in Wuji Valley. Although there were several anti-Jin uprisings launched by Central Asian Tianfang believers during this period, the use of

Under the suppression of the Jin Empire's army armed with guns and cannons, they all suffered miserably. And the two powerful neighbors, the Ming Dynasty and Rakshasa, also formed a tacit understanding because they were afraid of each other. No one would touch the Jin Empire. So the life of the Jin Empire was easy.

It was relatively stable, and the situation was passed to Daoguang, the fifth generation king of the Jin Empire (counting from Kangxi).

Daoguang is over 40 years old this year. When he was young, he was a bit immortal, but as he got older, he became fatter and fatter. He was so fat that he almost turned into a ball of flesh. He didn't look like a Taoist god.

, more like a fat Maitreya. However, this fat Maitreya always has a gloomy look, and his smiling face is rarely seen. He seems to be a Maitreya suffering from depression.

The reason that made the fat Daoguang depressed was the word "poor". When the Jin Empire was passed to him, he had little money, the treasury was empty, and taxes were insufficient. However, the country's expenditures were reduced due to the military reforms after the Napoleonic Wars.

It is increasing day by day. At the end of the reign of Emperor Ama Jiaqing, the court was losing millions of taels of silver every year. When he became the emperor, the ministers of Tianji Heshen, Tuojin, Wenfu, and Saichonga gave it to his household.

The account books of the Ministry and the Ministry of Internal Affairs are all filled with "red letters"!

His heart dropped when he saw it. With such a loss, could the Jin Empire be passed on to Xuantong for another four generations?

So after he took over as the emperor, he began to do everything possible to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, hoping to replenish the treasury of the Golden Empire.

But it’s easy to cut costs, it’s nothing more than the word “saving”, but it’s difficult to increase revenue

In the dimly lit Wuji Hall, Emperor Daoguang was sitting alone behind the imperial desk, doing divination. Of course he was also a fortune teller, and his calculations were quite accurate! At this moment, he was listless, with his big head propped up, looking at the table.

He used three copper coins to shake the hexagram and said to himself: "Why is it another trapped hexagram? Is it true that I, Dajin, am going to die trapped in the barren land of the Western Regions? How should I solve this dilemma of Dajin?"

?”

When Emperor Daoguang was racking his brains to solve the problem, the voice of his most trusted secret minister Mu Zhang'a suddenly came to his ears: "Your Majesty, please see me, my servant Mu Zhang'a."

Daoguang raised his head and looked at the dim door of Wuji Hall, and vaguely saw a figure standing there - it was already dark now, Daoguang was not willing to light many oil lamps, and there was no electricity in Bagua City.

"Is it Mu Zhang? Come here quickly." Daoguang couldn't see the person clearly, but he still called the person forward. He was not worried about assassins at all, because he would do a divination every morning when he got up to see if there were any assassins.

A disaster of blood and light. Today's hexagram shows that he is very safe. And his prediction of this hexagram is obviously very accurate. The man who walked up to him is indeed Mu Zhang'a, who has the head of a deer and the eyes of a rat.

Mu Zhang'a held a bright yellow box in his hand, which was used to store memorials.

"Your Majesty, this is the electronic music sent from He Zhongtang from Petersburg." After Mu Zhang'a saluted, he handed the bright yellow box to Daoguang with both hands.

"Heshen's electronic music?" Daoguang asked, "Has he negotiated a deal with the Rakshasa people to introduce the Suvorov rifle production line?"

It turns out that Heshen went to Petersburg to introduce the Rakshasa breech-loading rifle - not the Mosin-Nagant rifle, but the Suvorov rifle, because this type of rifle was produced before the Napoleonic Wars, and the Suvorov rifle

After the marshal made suggestions to Catherine II, he introduced Ming technology for design and production. Although this type of rifle is slightly less accurate, it is strong and durable, does not require good maintenance, and does not pick bullets.

It was very suitable for the national conditions of the Jin Empire. And the production cost was relatively low! So Emperor Daoguang liked it very much. When the Army of the Jin Empire had to change its breech-loading guns, he did not hesitate to choose the Suvorov rifle and let himself get it.

He Zhongtang, the best bargainer below, went to Petersburg to negotiate for the introduction.

"When I get back to the emperor, He Zhongtang has already negotiated a contract with the new Tsar Nicholas I to introduce the Suvorov rifle production line. The contract totals one million taels of silver!"

When he heard that it would cost one million taels of silver, Fat Emperor Daoguang immediately felt pain in his face.

Mu Zhang'a knew that this emperor was stingy, and although the money had to be spent, he would still nag him for a long time. So he quickly changed the subject and said: "In addition, He Zhongtang has a happy event to report."

"A happy event?" Daoguang asked, "What happy event?"

"Your Majesty, he developed a friendship with a prodigy from the Zhuge family of the Ming Dynasty in Petersburg." Mu Zhang'a said with a smile.

"Oh," Daoguang sounded a little disappointed, "Didn't he also become sworn friends with Zhuge Youde back then, and didn't he figure out nothing in the end?"

"This is different," Mu Zhang'a said. "This Zhuge was hit in the head by a stray bullet during the Petersburg Rebellion. His brain was injured and he was a little confused."

"A confused Zhuge?" Daoguang frowned, "What's the use of making friends with him?"

Mu Zhang'a smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the telegram from He Zhongtang said that although this Zhuge is confused, his talent is still there. He is very likely to be ranked in the Military Academy in the future!"

"Really?" Emperor Daoguang immediately became more energetic and said to himself, "If we can take the opportunity to obtain the secrets of the Zhuge family, I, Dajin, may be able to get rid of the predicament!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty," Mu Zhang'a said with a smile, "The opportunity will come soon!"

"What opportunity?" Daoguang asked.

Mu Zhangada said: "Your Majesty, the telegram from He Zhongtang said that this confused Zhuge was going to escort a female grand duke of the Rakshasa Kingdom to the Ming Dynasty, and would pass by our Kingdom of Jin! Your Majesty, this opportunity is rare!"
