Chapter 97: The Thunder Tiger Feng He is unknown
In the 49th year of Qianlong's reign, on the 28th of the leap month of March, the Thunder God, carrying three thousand refugees, slowly drove into the simple dock of Beihai Town.
Because everyone was already fully familiar with the process of getting ashore for refugees the previous time, the disembarkation process was arranged in an orderly manner.
Chen Qingsong has begun to explore the east bank of the Falin River. A patrol boat has been used as a temporary ferry, and the docks on both sides of the east and west have been initially formed. Every day, hundreds of refugees enter the east bank by boat to log and clear the land.
As for the west bank, the refugees developed along the primeval forests and bushes on the river bank to the northeast, and were approaching the valley plains.
According to the plan of Zhao Xin and Chen Qingsong, on the west bank of the Falin River, a total area of 32 square kilometers from the seaside to the north and west will be the part of the town of Beihai Town in the future.
They planned to set up a fort every five kilometers from the northeast side of the planned town along the west bank of the Falin River to arrange for agricultural population entry.
This time, before leaving the Sendai Basilica, Zhao Xin had asked the boss of Katsuyama Chuan Sanhe Murataya to help recruit some bridge-building craftsmen. He was planning to use local wood in Beihai Town to build bridges and communicate with the banks of the Falin River.
After seeing the training of the security police and the fifty people, Zhao Xin discussed with Liu Sheng for a while and decided to wait for another two weeks to set off.
Liu Sheng's opinion was to wait for Wang Yuanfang and his team to complete a stage of training before going to the Hokkien land to explore. If possible, he would directly establish a military station at the Otaru Port in later generations as a base for advancement in the future.
At this time, the Qing court, thousands of miles away, caused an uproar because of an urgent report from the Jilin General's Mansion; even Qianlong, who was on the southern tour, was furious.
Northwest of Xuzhou, Daying in Dakou Town, late at night.
The seventy-three-year-old Qianlong sat in the imperial boat, looking at the faint candlelight without saying a word.
The eunuch who was serving around him had already felt the tension in the air. He was so scared that he didn't dare to let out, for fear that he would anger the master if he accidentally.
A little eunuch walked in with tea and tiptoed on the imperial desk.
Qianlong picked up the tea and took a sip. The hot tea was so hot that he was immediately shocked.
"That's how you serve the errands?!" Qianlong, who had been suppressed for a long time, was furious. He threw the bowl of tea with a lid on the eunuch.
"Pull it out, forty sticks!"
"Your Majesty, please spare me! Your Majesty, please spare me! You will never dare to do it again."
The little eunuch was so scared that he lay on the ground, trembling all over and kowtowed constantly.
"Don't calm down."
The eunuchs and palace maids inside and outside the imperial boat knelt on the ground in one go.
At this time, Heshen was hurried over on the river bank and happened to see two guards dragging a little eunuch down.
The eunuch in charge, Xiao Delu, was hurried out from the imperial boat, and Heshen stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "The emperor is meeting people now?"
The eunuch looked at the palace lantern. It was Heshen. He quickly smiled bitterly and said, "Since the afternoon, the emperor has not spoken after reading the memorial. It's okay for dinner. The people below just now had no rules, so they annoyed the old man. Please come in and persuade him quickly."
Heshen nodded slightly and signed up immediately. Soon, a eunuch called in on the imperial boat. When he entered, Qianlong had already asked the palace maids and eunuchs to stand up.
Heshen stepped into the inner room in three or two steps, then knelt down heavily, and said while kowtowing: "Master, you must take care of the dragon body! I just heard about Hunchun that some sluts are not worth mentioning. When the army arrives, they will be destroyed immediately."
Qianlong sighed and said, "Get up. Bring Heshen a handful of slaughter."
"I thank my master for your kindness!" Heshen kowtowed heavily before standing up.
"Have you heard about Hunchun?" Qianlong took the eunuch's tea and took a sip.
"I just took a look at the brief, and I hadn't had time to read the main text of the newspaper."
Qianlong glanced at Heshen and saw that his forehead was covered in sweat. He knew that he had arrived immediately when he heard about Hunchun. He felt a little comforted, but his anger still remained in his heart.
"Heshen, do you think I'm making a big deal?"
"The slaves are not! The emperor is far-sighted and illuminated by the holy candle."
In fact, Heshen felt that Qianlong had made a big fuss. He was a few stingy thieves, so what if he was a native of the Oros. He just asked the Lifan Academy to write a document and then let the Jilin general send troops to encircle and suppress it.
You should know that after defeating Amursana in July of the 22nd year of Qianlong, the latter used the Kazakh Khanate to defect to Tsarist Russia. At that time, Qianlong's fortune-telling vassal court conducted a negotiation between the Russian side, requiring them to hand over Amursana according to the agreement agreed by the two countries to not accept fugitives. Although the Russian side shirked at the beginning, it was because it relied heavily on the Chaktu trade and was afraid that China would suspend the market, so after only two months, the body of Amursana who died of smallpox was returned.
Qianlong said lightly: "Although you are in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, you have also appointed the Minister of War. Little did you know that outside the pass is the place where our dynasty is Longxing, and even the size of the land cannot be lost. Since the Battle of Jaquesar, the Russians have occasionally crossed the border, but they are limited to the surrounding area of Chaktu. This time they blatantly invaded the South China Sea, occupied the islands, and killed officers and soldiers, which is really horrifying!"
Speaking of which, although Qianlong in history was negligent in his later years, he was not confused. Even in the years when he became the Supreme Emperor, he firmly controlled the government through Heshen, making his son Jiaqing a mascot.
Just seven years ago, he only mentioned that Gansu was often rainy and rainy in the memorials of Agui and Heshen, and he remembered Wang Danwang's repeated reports on local droughts during his tenure in Gansu, thus revealing the largest group corruption case in the history of the Qing Dynasty - the Gansu relief case.
The reason why the Qing Dynasty was the most prosperous in the Qianlong era was not only the foundation laid by Kangxi and Yongzheng in nearly a hundred years, but also the inseparable from Qianlong's own shrewdness. This can be said to be one of the most difficult emperors in Chinese history. Anyone who wants to be fooled with him will be in trouble.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! For example, in the fourth year of Qianlong, the Ministry of Works submitted a memorial to apply for the repair of several damaged palace lanterns in the Taimiao, using 300 taels of silver and 200 strings of coins.
In theory, other emperors would not care about such trivial matters that could not be as small as it is; they could not handle hundreds of thousands or even millions of expenses, and a few hundred taels of silver could not even be considered a sesame seed.
But Qianlong was not like this. He looked at the memorial carefully and noticed some unusual clues from it.
You should know that even if the palace lanterns in Taimiao are exquisitely made, they are still made of paper and silk. Not to mention repairing them, even if they are brand new, they will not cost 300 taels of silver and 200 strings of money!
So he immediately inquired in the memorial and asked, and when the memorial was sent back to the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Works quickly responded. They said that the emperor clearly understood that it would not cost so much money to repair a few lamps. The reason why he had to apply for 300 taels was because it was an advance silver. It would be calculated as much as possible. If the rest could not be used, it would be returned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Is the reason reasonable?
However, Qianlong immediately asked someone to check the records of the Ministry of Works' withdrawal of silver over the years and found that they were paid and not paid back. The amount was not large every time, but it was not a decimal over time.
As a result, the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Internal Affairs colluded with each other over the years, and the black accounts they had falsely claimed were found. This incident led to the demotion of the then Minister of Works and Minister of Works. None of the remaining officials of the Ministry of Works were spared and all of them were fined for their salary.
As the master of the feudal imperial era, Qianlong's heart was extremely powerful, but also extremely sensitive. Any movement in this empire would be turbulent in his heart, causing a series of chain reactions.
Therefore, the memorial of Jilin General Qinggui is just an inconspicuous border provocation to outsiders, but for Qianlong, it was a major event that affected the safety of the country, provoking his majesty that cannot be offended.
The king and his minister were talking, and there was a voice of registration outside the imperial boat. An eunuch came into the house and knelt down to report: "Emperor, the eleventh prince, the fifteenth prince, and the seventeenth prince were asking for a meeting."
Qianlong said coldly: "My good sons are here, call us in!"
Soon, thirty-two-year-old Yongyan, twenty-four-year-old Yonglin and twelve-year-old Yonglin all walked in.
"My son bows to my father."
It is said that the princes of the Qing Dynasty generally called emperors "Khan Ama", "Emperor's Father" or "Father Emperor". As for the titles of "Emperor Ama" in later generations, they only existed in the Guangxu and Xuantong dynasties.
"Get up." Qianlong glanced at his three sons. Standing among the three was Yongyan, who had already been secretly appointed as the crown prince by him eleven years ago.
After Yongyan stood up, he looked up slightly. Qianlong stood up with his hands behind his back, walked to the window, looked at the Grand Canal in the night and said lightly: "There is no one around me! Apart from Fukang'an, oh, there is also a Hailancha. The generals and ministers are incompetent, and the important officials in the court are mediocre. Now even the slaves in the Longxing Land are a group of bastards. It seems that I am really old! After several people in the Military Affairs Office discussed for several days, they didn't even know where the muskets came from! Otherwise, why did Yarha, Seldan and others rebelled? More than a hundred elite elites in the Yellow Banner could do anything about it, and were wiped out by the two men and the Eros thieves. It was really an unprecedented strange thing!"
The joint memorial between Qinggui and Duerjia is clearly written. Among the 108 people led by Tomohogo, except for ten people who died of bows and arrows and sharp weapons, the other ninety-eight people died under muskets. The whereabouts of the remaining twelve people are unknown.
Qianlong thought about it before and after thinking, he could not think of how the muskets came from in Hunchun. In the memorials of Qinggui and Duerjia, they also mentioned that the two of them personally entered the camp to verify and handle the handover. All the ordnances in Jilin General's Mansion should be on the booking, and no musket was lost.
Later, he ordered people to check the memorials of General Jilin and General Heilongjiang within five years, and finally found a memorial from North Korea three years ago.
The memorial from North Korea stated that news came from Japan recently that it was rumored that the Oros people came to the Hokkien land in northern Japan from the sea and contacted the Japanese. Later, they were rejected by the Matsumaki vassal of the Japanese. The Hubei fleet disappeared later.
After Qianlong ordered people to compare and confirm the map of the South China Sea and the map of northern Japan, he felt that he had completely seen the matter.
It must have been the Oros who landed around Bear Island and occupied the country. After killing the officers and soldiers, Nayarha, Seldan and others, they somehow defected to them.
Finally, we worked inside and outside to ambush and kill Hunchun armored soldiers. As for the twelve missing armored soldiers, they must have been captured by the Oros.
As soon as Qianlong said this, four people in the room knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily, "Don't calm down."
Qianlong looked at the lights on the canal outside the ship, and did not let the four of them get up. He still said lightly with his hands behind his back: "Issue the decree that Hunchun's assistant leader, the leader of the Wateshan, was negligent and arrogant, and led to the enemy's treacherous plan. He ordered the subordinates to entrust Mokhogo and a hundred and eight soldiers, and 15 people with the inlaid yellow flag. He was killed and was depressed. He was very hateful. He was dismissed from the Hunchun's assistant leader and all positions in the public office, and was imprisoned to be investigated!"
Yongyan breathed a sigh of relief and was about to speak when Qianlong continued, "I will write another order. An Lin, the deputy commander of Ningguta, was old. He should report it first. He loves to stop reporting. He has traveled to the sedan chair for his mother, and has opened a casino to buy merchant ginseng at a low price. It is even more despicable and shameless. He took the position of Anlinning Guta, stripped off his yellow jacket, took back the feathers, and sent it to the Hunchun Army to serve as atonement!
Jilin General Duerjia ordered civil and military officers to investigate the whereabouts of the Oros people. When the imperial envoy was in charge, he would send troops to arrest him again!
Military Minister A Gui, and Heshen was incompetent in the government, which led to the disrepair of border affairs in Longxing, and each was fined for half a year to show punishment."
Heshen, who was kneeling below, felt a little panicked when he heard this. At the end of last year, An Lin gave his mansion 8,000 taels of silver, 100 kilograms of old mountain ginseng and many fur goods. Heshen had known about his bad news in Ningguta for a long time. However, he was in a remote location and no one cared about the court, so Heshen was at ease and helped An Lin cover it up in front of Qianlong.
Why did the emperor suddenly take him down silently? It turned out that the old man in his seventies in front of him knew everything, but he just couldn't send him off.
"Slow down! The emperor still wants to send an imperial envoy?!" Heshen secretly speculated in his heart, and did not dare to look up at Qianlong.
Qianlong slowly twisted his beards at this time, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his slender eyes shone everywhere, and he did not look like an old man in his seventies. As the saying goes, Jiang Gui's nature is, the older he gets, the more he is, the more he is.
You can wait for chaos in the southwest and chaos in the northwest; the land where the ancestors' dragons cannot be chaotic, nor can they wait for it!
After turning around and walking back to the imperial case, he sat down steadily, picked up the cold tea and took a big sip, looked at the four people kneeling below, and recited the third decree word by word: "Another decree is drawn up, and the Minister of War Fu Kang'an, took the imperial envoy to guard the guards, and took the king's orders to sign the flags and sign the guards. He led the guards of Batulu, Zhang Jing and others, without having to come to the imperial boat to see the car, go directly to Wula, Jilin.
General Jilin and generals from Heilongjiang must obey the imperial envoy to defend themselves and handle the matter of incoming bandits in Naya, Serdan and Zhuoluos.
I did not want to send ministers to the province, but I was in charge of the supervision and handling of the situation. I had to briefly refine the supervision and rectification in order to quickly resolve the matter (pronunciation and the meaning of solving the problem). All the civil and military personnel of the two provinces handled the badly. Wait until the bandits were eliminated and all, and Fu Kangan followed their merits and demerits, and verified their crimes. Report them in detail."
At this time, the three wills were like a series of thunder, and the four people present were in a panic. The inside and outside of the imperial boat were silent.
