Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 124
Jilin Ula City is [-] miles away from the capital.Manchu means "city along the river".

The original name of this place was "Shipyard". In the 15th year of Shunzhi, the Qing government set up a shipyard here to build warships in order to prevent the invasion of the Oros people;

In the 15th year of Kangxi, the Qing court switched General Ningguta and the deputy of the shipyard.Jilin City began to flourish.

In the fifth year of Yongzheng, Yongji Prefecture was established, and Jilin City was governed by the state.Later, due to the concentration of population, especially the large increase in the population of Han Bannermen, in the 12th year of Qianlong (1747), Yongji Prefecture was designated as the Jilin Office, with Tong Zhique as its director, directly led by General Ning Guta.

Fukang'an and Hailancha and their party traveled northward on April [-]nd and traveled long distances until they arrived in Ula City, Jilin Province in late April.

At noon, amidst the sound of gongs opening the way, a group of cavalry came from the south. The headed guard of honor held a half-person-high blue background with a yellow tiger's head spleen, and wrote "Imperial Envoy, Prince Taibao, Imperial Minister, Minister of the Ministry of War, Minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs", and the last sign reads "all civil and military officials, soldiers and civilians, all avoid".

Outside the Great North Gate, the cannons sounded and the drums blared.

The large group of people stopped slowly outside the Great North Gate in the west of Jilin City.In the team, a green woolen sedan chair, which was significantly larger than the average eight-carrying sedan chair, stepped out of the cavalry team and landed steadily.Goshha, who was accompanying him, stepped forward and opened the sedan chair curtain, and a slender young official stepped out of the sedan chair.

This person is wearing an official gown with eight pythons and five claws, and a brand-new crane patch. He looks very smart and capable at first glance.Slender eyes, white face with slight beard, pockmarked face dotted with pockmarks from smallpox, not conspicuous.It was Fu Kang'an, Qianlong's first Xuanli minister.

After Fukang'an walked out, a personal soldier, Geshha, also walked out of the sedan chair, holding a tray with both hands, on which was the imperial envoy's defense wrapped in bright yellow satin.

This important minister of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties must use a sedan chair when traveling.There are 36 bearers who accompany them, and they take turns to carry the sedan chairs when they travel, walking like flying.Even when he went out to supervise the battle, Fukang'an had to sit in a sedan chair and equip each bearer with four good horses. After the bearers changed shifts, they would follow on horseback.

Fukang'an looked at the civil and military officials who were waiting for him in front of him, raised his head and said to Jilin General Du Erjia: "Have Mount Wute and Anlin been escorted?"

Jilin General Du Erjia stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Report to Commander-in-Chief, we will make arrangements upon receipt of your pass. Both of you have arrived the day before yesterday, and now they are both in custody at the back of the office."

Fukang'an said again: "Is Tuoketong here?"

"I have seen the handsome man under the bid."

Fu Ankang took a look, and then said lightly: "All right. It's getting late."

As soon as he said this, the few officials who were thinking of approaching him had no choice but to back down.Everyone stood up in order, facing Fukang and knelt down to ask Shengan.

"General Jilin, Chen Du Erjia, lead the civil and military officials under his command, respectfully welcome Sheng An!"

"Saint Gong'an!" Fu Kang'an answered on behalf of the sky.

After the ceremony, Fu Kang'an turned around and returned to the sedan chair.A group of people went straight to the General's Office along the North Street in the city.

At this time, Jilin City only had three walls in the east, west and north, and the Songhua River was in the south.There are five city gates in the city, and five main streets correspond to the five city gates.In order to prevent slippery and muddy in rainy and snowy days, the five avenues are paved with wooden boards.

At this time, the people in the various shops on the North Street were kneeling on the side of the road to greet the imperial envoy, and they stood up after the imperial envoy and Jilin city officials passed by.

Several businessmen walked into a shop, looked at the large group of people entering the general's office, and whispered.

"Look, the major general of the Fucha family is here again."

"Master Fu is now the Crown Prince Taibao, Minister of the Ministry of War, what are you talking about as a 'major general'? Let people hear it, and reward you with a stick!"

"Tsk tsk, Marshal Fu's sedan chair is different. It is said that it was carried by eight people, but I think it is not much smaller than the one carried by 16 people."

"That's right, you don't even look at who it is. Can Marshal Fu be like others? That's the emperor's special order, the only one in the world!"

"Why do you think Marshal Fu is here?"

"I said you know how to pull the abacus beads every day. Don't you know about Hunchun?"

"You mean? Oops, I remembered. Good guy! The emperor even sent him here."

"How fresh! More than 100 armored soldiers died. This matter will never end until we investigate it."

"Oh, I'm afraid we'll have to pay for it again in two days. I heard that this guy spends so much money that he has no limits. Even his servants will be rewarded with thousands of taels."

As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately became dumbfounded, hurriedly dispersed, and went back to their own shops to make arrangements.

Fukang'an and his party arrived at the office, and after getting off the sedan chair, he said to Hai Lancha behind him: "Everyone has three days' rest, eat well and sleep well to recharge your spirits!"

"Hey! Subscribe and obey orders!"

At this time, Jilin Tongzhi who was waiting at the side said respectfully: "The commander-in-chief and Mr. Hai have been exhausted all the way, and the subordinates have prepared meals in the flower hall, so as to express our affection."

Hearing this, Hai Lancha smiled indifferently.He followed Fukang'an all the way north. Although the journey was long, it was not hard at all.All the post stations along the way are carefully serving this master, and there is no lack of delicacies.

Fukang'an himself has always been used to extravagance, and his opponents are also very generous.The three hundred generals of the Firearms Battalion who followed him to the north and Zhang Jing, the bodyguard of Batulu, were very satisfied. They felt that going out on errands with this Marshal Fu was really the best errand in the world.

Fu Kang'an snorted coldly and said, "Don't engage in such vain things at this time. The emperor is burning with anxiety, and we, as ministers, must also be loyal to the emperor."

Seeing a group of officials with embarrassed faces, he ignored them, turned his head and continued: "Duljia, call a meeting and talk about military affairs right away. Where is the map?"

"Please come with me, Commander."

In a large room in the office, a huge map of General Jilin hangs on the wall.

Fukangan and Hailancha stood in front of the map and looked at it for a while, then asked Du Erjia: "What's the situation now?"

"The remaining thirteen islands in the South China Sea have all been inspected, but none have been found. Biaoxia sent people to the Fuljaha River area, but there is still no news."

"Not far enough! Check further east! The Oros people have big ships, and they are likely to go deep inland along these rivers." Fukang'an pointed to the east of the Fuljaha River, and his finger fell on the Xila River Said: "Notify Hunchun Water Camp! Every river mouth must be searched. On land, let those Hezhe and Feiyaka people help find it."

"The surname Chang and Ge Shanda of the various ministries have been notified of this matter more than ten days before the mark. They are now sending people to the east to look for it. It is estimated that there will be news in two days."

Fu Ankang nodded, and he turned around to admonish the civil and military officials in the room: "The Wulin Appreciation Meeting will be held in two months. If it is delayed because of this, it will delay the important affairs of the court. This group of Eros The thieves have a lot of firearms, report back immediately when you find out, and don't act without authorization."

"Follow the Commander-in-Chief!"

"Who is in charge of Ning Guta now?"

Du Erjia said: "Now the deputy commander-in-chief Hulan is acting as the agent."

Fukangan nodded, he knew about Hulan.I used to be in the Firearms Battalion, and I have been to the Northwest, and I am very good at fighting.

He took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, sat down and took a sip of tea before slowly saying, "Toketong, tell me about the situation on Xiong Island."

"Hey! Biaoxia was ordered to..."

Toke Tonga talked on and on for almost an hour, telling the story in detail from the time he went to Hunchun to the discovery of the bodies of Tuomohuoguo and others.

"...Later, before Master Qing left, he asked Biaoxia to lead the team back. That's the situation."

Fukang'an did not express his opinion after listening. He looked at the map and pondered for a while, and then ordered: "Toketong!"

"The mark is here!"

"The commander-in-chief ordered you to represent Hunchun as the leader. You take my token and set off for Hunchun to sit in town tomorrow. As soon as you have news, report it immediately!"

"Follow the Commander-in-Chief!"

At this time, Hai Lan saw Fu Kang'an's tired face, and knew that he was really tired.So he said to everyone: "The commander-in-chief is about to change clothes, you should all leave."

"Whoo!"

When everyone left the house, Fukang'an asked Hai Lancha: "What do you think of this?"

Hai Lancha thought for a while and said: "I can't say it well, but I always feel uneasy. I don't think it's that simple. Commander, tell me, when was the last time the Oros invaded? It’s been more than 100 years. Why did it come all of a sudden?”

Fukangan smiled and said: "Since the time of the holy grandfather, the Oros people have been doing three things together behind Junggar. A while ago, I heard from people in the Lifan Academy that the Oros people are now in the west with the Ottoman Empire. There was a war in a place called the Black Sea. It is said that they have been coming and going for decades.

When I was here two years ago, the deputy governor of the three surnames once reported that someone in the north of Delengen had seen the Oros hunter going south, but he left soon.

In my opinion, it was a group of pirates who harassed Bear Island this time.It would be fine if they plundered and left, but these pirates are still connected with local criminals, which is a big deal. "

After he finished speaking, he patted Hai Lancha on the shoulder and asked, "Is there anyone else in your family?"

Hai Lancha said: "There are a few relatives who haven't seen each other for many years."

Dolar Hailancha, a Manchurian inlaid yellow flag, lived in Butha Alun River, Heilongjiang (the area under the jurisdiction of the Heilongjiang General's Mansion).

In the 20th year of Qianlong, Hai Lancha conquered Junggar as a Sauron vest.Because of his bravery in battle, he was promoted to the first-class bodyguard.

From the 30th to the 33rd year of Qianlong, Hai Lancha, as a vanguard, led the Qing army to fight in Burma. He once led [-] riders to cross the Wanren Pass, and destroyed the Burmese Army Dazhai on the bank of the Jiajiu River.After that, he participated in the second big and small Jinchuan battles, and then suppressed the Qinghai rebellion.Jigong was promoted to Zhenghuang Banner to lead the guards and inner ministers, and to be the leader of the public,
(In a certain drama, Hai Lancha was portrayed as Fu Heng's good brother, so-and-so cutie. It's too ridiculous! This one has nothing to do with "cute".

However, the records of Hailancha in the later "Qing Barnyard Banknotes" are too bizarre.It can only be said that Hai Lancha may have offended a certain literati, and was described as a beastman in the end. )
Fukang'an was also tired at this time, so he waved his hand to let Hai Lancha back down.Sitting in the house by himself, he looked at the map again.
