Zhen Huan Reborn as Langya to Cure Yi Syndrome
Chapter 170: Opium Crisis
After Fu Heng left the capital, Fu Longan found an opportunity to run to Zhongcui Palace, under the pretext of helping the Third Prince and the Sixth Prince to look after the palace.
Hongli, who couldn't stand the loneliness, brought Fu Kang'an into the palace.
"This child still needs to be raised by your side from a young age, so that he can have a few years of happy life. When he grows up, his heart will no longer be with his elders."
Zhen Huan had no choice but to not leave a male child with her brother's wife, so she had to recruit them into the palace and keep them under her nose.
If it weren't for the memories of two lives, she really understood Hongli's heart. She would have thought that he was afraid that the Fucha family would rebel and wanted to put the male members of the family under house arrest.
Seeing Zhen Huan's helpless expression, Hongli added, "It's not that I don't want him to go home, I just want to keep him by my side to educate him. What Mian De and the others have, Fu Kang'an also has."
Zhen Huan chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, you can't be partial to one and ignore the other. Whatever Fu Kang'an has, Mian De and the others must have too."
Hongli touched Fu Kang'an's little fist and thought about his children and grandchildren. He was truly a perfect man in the world.
There are loyal ministers and good generals, and there is no need to panic in fighting on two fronts. In the past two years, the weather has been good and the four seas have submitted.
The wife in the rear was virtuous and the concubines were beautiful, and the children all survived and grew up safely. The children were all promising and had many descendants.
Zhen Huan looked at Hongli's expression and knew that he was brainwashing himself again, so she gave him a helping hand.
"Your Majesty is truly perfect. The previous dynasty was smooth sailing, the Qing Dynasty was prosperous, and the blessings of his descendants are also prosperous."
Hongli smiled with satisfaction and said that when Fuheng and the others came back, he would reward them handsomely and also make the seventh brother a king.
Prince Pigeon?
When I think of this name, I want to kiss my daughter and grandson.
"Jinzhong, summon the third princess to an audience, and remember to bring the young prince into the palace."
Jinzhong reported: "The third princess followed the army to Yarkand to play."
"What about Qingyou?" The daughter gave herself the nickname Qingyou and did not allow anyone to call him Tiedan.
"The young master is in the mansion, accompanied by his husband."
Hongli snorted coldly: "This kid is quite sensible."
Su Lujun thought that the sixth child had reached the age and was following Fu Heng to gain experience and achievements, so she was not too worried.
"They are just a few illegal businessmen. I have repeatedly told him to listen to Master Fu Heng, take good care of my seventh brother, and come back safely."
Jingyan heard from Fulongan that these opium merchants were not ordinary merchants, and the firearms of the foreigners were not comparable to those of the previous border rebels.
She suppressed her worries about her brother and did not dare tell her mother and Empress Wan.
Whenever I have time, I go to the Lotus Sutra Hall to pray for my brothers.
When Ruyi saw that someone finally came to accompany her, she smiled gently and wanted to talk to the Sixth Princess.
Jingyan ignored her most of the time, treating her like air, and only on rare occasions could she not help but retort to her.
Although my mother taught me to respect my elders, and my grandmother also said that I should be pious and sincere before the Buddha, does this Xian Ying have the virtues of an elder?
Jingyan boldly opened the microphone: "If such a person serves the Buddha every day, the Buddha will be sad too."
Scolding her is accumulating bad karma.
Ruyi pretended not to know that she was a good person. Who in the harem had hands as clean as hers?
"Back then, the late emperor sent your mother to the palace because he saw that she was fertile. The emperor has been indifferent to her over the years. It's hard for you three. You have no sense of existence in the palace."
When it comes to her own mother, Jingyan retorted, "My mother was favored so she could give birth to two sons and a daughter. If Ruxian agrees, it would be difficult for her to give birth even if she is good at it."
Ruyi's eyes widened: "Princess, you are still a girl in the boudoir, are you so shameless when you speak?"
"No matter how shameless I am, you are more shameless than me. You said something to a young person who has not even reached the age of marriage, saying things like whether it is good to have children or not."
"However, Xian has always been the person who has the least sense of shame in this palace."
Ruyi was furious and clenched her fists.
Jingyan said lightly, "Xian agreed to hit me? I just made a mistake and was taken care of by Empress Ying. Now there are only you and me in Fahua Hall. If you dare to hit the princess, I wonder who will take the blame for you?"
Ruyi pouted and her nose became crooked with anger. The little girl was so sharp-tongued that it would bring shame to the royal family when she got married.
Jingyan sneered: "He's a troublemaker with a bad habit."
As Fu Heng and his companions traveled south, they did not expect that the opium merchants they met were so bold and brazen that they openly opened shops in downtown areas and went to the streets to solicit customers.
Fuheng gritted his teeth and put in great effort to rectify the situation. He pulled out the radish and brought out the mud. Even the local officials who accepted bribes and condoned and protected opium dealers were dismissed and imprisoned.
All the opium that was cleared out was destroyed locally.
Anyone who forces or induces others to smoke opium for the purpose of profit will be sent to prison and held accountable.
Those who were addicted but had not yet harmed others were ordered to quit their opium addiction in special institutions set up by the court.
As all opium dealers were arrested and all local opium was destroyed, many people, driven by opium addiction, harmed innocent people and committed crimes in the streets.
Fuheng suppressed them all one by one and sentenced them to prison according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty.
The sixth and seventh children imagined themselves following their uncle in gaining experience, visiting famous mountains and rivers, fighting wits and courage with illegal businessmen, and meeting talented men and beautiful women from the south of the Yangtze River.
However, they did not expect that this journey to eradicate opium would be fraught with danger several times.
The opium business was extremely profitable, so in order to maintain the long-term peace of this business, these merchants were surrounded by vicious musketeers and private soldiers.
When Hongli captured the people, he sentenced them to extremely heavy sentences, so these people resisted stubbornly and fought for their lives.
Fortunately, the opium disaster has only spread to some wealthy areas in the south far away from the capital, and the vast land in the west and central China has not yet been polluted by this dirty thing.
All the resistance that Fu Heng and his men encountered along the way was defeated one by one.
A few people gritted their teeth and cleared out the opium with severe punishments. What did the foreigners do? The Qing Dynasty banned the opium trade, but these people ignored the laws of their own country. Even when the British envoys came to ask for them, they were not given and were all taken back to the capital to be beheaded as a warning to the public.
The stragglers who had escaped with difficulty gathered all their forces, planned an ambush in Zhenjiang, and launched a counterattack.
Little do they know that some of them are top spies trained by Fu Heng, who are playing the long game to catch big fish, waiting to wipe out all the forces in one fell swoop.
The spies hid among the opium dealers and passed on information such as the ambush location and time to Fu Heng, just waiting to take advantage of the situation and completely destroy their hopes.
Although they had been prepared for a long time, the foreigners' firearms were really advanced, and these people were extremely vicious. They traveled across the ocean to commit crimes and had long since disregarded their lives.
The Qingzhou army suffered heavy losses, and both Yongrong and Yongcong were injured. They finally managed to wipe out the remaining forces of the opium merchants in Zhenjiang.
Fuheng shed tears in Zhenjiang and sent people to register the identities of the bodies of the fallen soldiers, then cremate them, and bring their ashes back to the capital and their homes.
Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi couldn't help but grit their teeth when they saw that our side had suffered heavy losses despite being fully prepared.
"Uncle, if we hadn't been prepared today, I'm afraid we would all have died here."
"Yes, the foreigners' firearms are indeed very sophisticated and advanced. Although the Qing Dynasty has allocated a large amount of military funds to research and produce firearms, the apprentice is still not as good as the master."
Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi looked at each other and silently kept in mind what Fu Heng said today.
