While Fan Ruzheng was having fun, his men were also indulging in the simple pleasures of a villain who had achieved success. Some officers and soldiers felt that the public playgrounds lacked excitement, so they went straight to the homes of the people to ask for money and sex. If the people were slightly dissatisfied, they would be punished. They were called bandits or spies.
Among the evil soldiers, there were a few who were particularly arrogant. They often deliberately picked a fight and punished the people. Moreover, they deliberately encouraged other soldiers to harm the people.
They were the informants that the Qing army commander, Monk Gelinqin, had planted in the Taiping army. Once the Qing army and the Taiping army started a war, Monk Gelinqin could use the informants to grasp the details of the Long Hair rebel army and act according to the situation to eliminate the Long Hair in one fell swoop.
In order to manage the informants who had infiltrated the enemy, Monk Gleeqin had specially set up a Thief Intelligence Contact Office in his prince's mansion. He had arranged for his most capable advisor to be the leader, commanding the informants who had been planted in the various long-haired teams and screening the information they provided.
In order to keep it a secret, the Prince and many nobles did not mention this matter. They were afraid that it would alert the Taiping Country and cut off the chain of informants.
Moreover, the informants he used were all on a voluntary basis. In the situation where the Manchu and Han tribes were at odds with each other, if he wanted to develop informants among the Han people, he could only use some naturally cunning and shameless people, the so-called bad people with extremely low humanity.
By using the lazy instinct of bad people to attract money and women, they could completely make them betray everyone except themselves, including their own conscience and soul.
Therefore, due to the differences in human nature since ancient times, even if the conflict between Manchu and Han was sharp, Monk Gleeqin could still find countless bad guys among the Han who were willing to work hard and use them to cause trouble among the Han people. This would cause some Han people who were angry at the Manchu bastards to have nowhere to vent their anger and could only obediently live under the rule of the Manchu nobles.
Therefore, when the Taiping Country uprising broke out, Monk Gelinqin began to send his spies into the Taiping Country Army. He infiltrated the Taiping Country Army and searched for all kinds of information. He waited for an opportunity and followed his orders to destroy the Taiping Country troops.
Logically speaking, when the other Qing troops surrounded the Taiping Army, Monk Gelinqin could have stood on the interests of the Manchu regime and transferred the insider information he had to help his brother troops defeat the Long Hair Army.
However, due to the conflict of interest that the Manchu government had accumulated over a long period of time, Monk Gillinqin did not dare to be such a Lei Feng. He was afraid that he would help others accumulate merit and make the Emperor and the civil and military officials no longer rely on him. Once the war was over, he might be forgotten in a corner. If the villains he had offended in the past were to speak ill of him in front of the Emperor and Empress Dowager, his life would be in danger.
In addition, most of the troops surrounding the Long Hair Army were mainly Han Chinese. The monk prince, who looked down on the Han Chinese, was even more unwilling to use his trump card to help the Han Chinese.
Moreover, most of the informants he used were the worst of the Han people. In the eyes of ordinary people, they were downright bad people. Therefore, he did not dare to use this method in public, afraid that the court and the outside world would say that he was black-headed.
Although Monk Gelinqin did not tell most people in the court about this, he secretly told Empress Dowager Cixi. Of course, Emperor Tongzhi did not know. Even Empress Dowager Cixi said that this kind of thing must be done secretly and must not be told to a second person.
The Monk King thought that Emperor Tongzhi was her son after all. Since he said that he would give it to Cixi, he felt that he should tell Emperor Tongzhi that the little guy was still young. As long as nothing major happened, Cixi would not interfere with his position as emperor.
After all, Empress Dowager Cixi was old and would meet the King of Hell one day. Once she left, Emperor Tongzhi, as the legitimate emperor, would naturally take back the imperial power that had been left behind.
Once Emperor Tongzhi was in power, the world would be in his hands. Even if the Monk King could not live to see that day, he had to think about his descendants. He must not provoke the suspicion of Emperor Tongzhi, and his descendants would suffer as well. The Iron Hat King would not be passed down, and his entire family would be executed.
So, he looked at Empress Dowager Cixi and pointed in the direction of Tongzhi's bedchamber. He opened his mouth and wanted to go over and take a look. Cixi immediately reacted and quickly moved closer to his ear. She glared at him and whispered," We must not tell him. Only we know. Don't even tell the Eastern Palace. Do you understand?"
The monk king had an affair with Cixi in private. He was more casual in front of Cixi. Cixi never treated him as an outsider. It was like a night of love between husband and wife. They treated each other as one of their own.
Knowing that Cixi was wary of the Eastern Palace's Ci 'an and Emperor Tongzhi, the monk king laughed in his heart. He felt that Cixi was a woman after all. She was timid, Ci' an was docile, and Tongzhi was dull. They were all people who could be used as meat pillows. Cixi was already a person of the level of longevity, so why would she be afraid of them?
Cixi saw the wandering eyes of the monk king and thought that he was afraid. She quickly comforted him. I am here for everything. You just need to be at ease and take care of the soldiers. That kind of cause is the foundation for us to stabilize the world. As long as I am in the palace, the imperial edict will be decided by me.
The King Monk quickly calmed himself down and smiled charmingly." With you around, I'm not worried at all. I'm just worried about your health. Don't work too hard day and night and tire yourself out."
As he spoke, the monk king cursed Cixi in his heart for being shameless. She was purely a prostitute who had drugged Emperor Xianfeng and hooked up with Prince Gong in exchange for being above millions of people today.
