Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 208 Redemption Fees and Acceptance Speeches
Na Qitai, the deputy capital of Ning Guta, has nothing to do.What he is worried about now is not whether Zhao Xin will break the city, but whether Zhao Xin will agree to negotiate.His aides persuaded him that "rushing to the top is not a business", of course Na Qitai understood.But he thought that the Ninggu Pagoda could not be lost. If it were lost, then there would be no more than [-] miles of land under the jurisdiction of the Jilin General's Mansion, and more than [-] miles from north to south; As far as the old emperor is concerned, it is absolutely unacceptable.

In this disastrous defeat, the banner people in Beijing must be wearing filial piety.Based on Na Qitai's many years of experience working in the "sticky pole office", he knew Qianlong's temper well.If such a large piece of territory is lost due to the fall of Ninggu Tower, his family in Beijing will definitely not end well, let alone his own city.

The reason why Zhao Xin and his group are powerful is mainly because of the firearms in their hands.But as long as Ninggu Pagoda can be kept and this breath is kept, in time, the imperial court will definitely make all-out efforts to completely wipe out this group of people.

"Master? Master?" Na Qitai, who had been so nervous by Zhao Xin for the past two days, was already a little numb, so that he didn't respond to his subordinates calling him.The personal soldier Ghoshha stepped forward and gently pushed his arm, only to shake him awake.

"what happened?"

"Back to master, Zhang Yubei and the others are back."

Na Qitai cheered up and said, "Call them in."

The three of Zhang Yubei were led by the flag soldiers into the signing room of the general's government office. After the ceremony, Na Qitai said eagerly: "Excuse me! Does Zhao Nitong agree?"

Zhang Yubei clasped his hands and said, "Zhao Ni has agreed to your request, and will negotiate with you at Guandi Temple tomorrow."

Na Qitai was still a little worried: "Well, you won't keep your word, right?"

Zhang Yubei said: "Based on what the villain sees, I'm afraid not." After he finished speaking, Qian Wei and Huang Yingfa also agreed.

Na Qitai nodded, and said to the soldiers: "Take them down to receive the reward."

After the three of them left the door, Nayin, who was standing by the side, preached: "My lord, according to my humble position, Zhao Ni is very cunning. This time, I used the force of the army to force you to submit, in order to protect your safety and prevent accidents. , do you want to bring some soldiers to ambush around the Guandi Temple?"

Na Qitai thought for a moment, then shook his head and said: "It's not right. My dynasty is so powerful that it has always treated the barbarians with benevolence and righteousness. If there is really a 'Hongmen Banquet', once Zhao Ni finds out, the negotiation will definitely fail."

Since the Qing Dynasty, as Guan Gong was established as a martial sage, offering sacrifices to Guan Gong has also been included in the national sacrificial ceremony.Therefore, all prefectures, counties, and counties have Guandi temples for sacrifices and offerings.

The Guandi Temple in Ningguta City is located three miles outside the east gate of Ningguta City, and was built in the fourth year of Kangxi (1665).In the temple, Wenchang Pavilion is on the left, and the Horse Temple is on the right. The main hall is dedicated to the relevant emperors.Because it is located outside the Great Wall, the regulations are not very large.The place of negotiation arranged by Na Qitai was in the side hall of Guandi Temple.

the next day.In the main hall of Guandi Temple, Na Qitai, who arrived early in the morning, kowtowed respectfully to the statue of Guan Gong, hoping that Emperor Guan Shengdi would bless the negotiation smoothly.At this time, one of his subordinates walked in quickly, and said to Na Qitai: "My lord, they are here, they have reached the other side of the river."

"Well. How many did they come?"

"Twelve people."

"Hmph! You are so bold! Let's go to the side hall and wait."

Before leaving the camp in the morning, Zhao Xin asked Wang Yuanfang to use a drone to inspect the surrounding area of ​​Guandi Temple.After seeing that there was no change in the Qing soldiers, he decided to take only one person across the river to negotiate.Wang Yuanfang disagreed when he heard it.

"Playing a big sword in front of Guan Gong's gate is quite suitable for the scene! You are too brave, aren't you?! Zhao Xin, you can't do this, if that Qitai has some crooked brains, you will be in big trouble!"

Facing the persuasion, Zhao Xin smiled and said, "You don't know what I am capable of? Besides, there are only ten people from them. Guisheng and I each have two pistols and six magazines. What is there to worry about?" of."

Having said that, Wang Yuanfang disagreed desperately, and in the end he was transferred to another class and crossed the river with Zhao Xin.Zhao Dadao bah!Zhao Xin had no choice but to agree.

When the group arrived at the gate of Guandi Temple, they saw four Qing soldiers standing guard at the gate, and another military officer.The military officer hastily stepped forward, cupped his fists in salute and said: "I am Nayinbu, the co-leader of Ning Guta, my Dutong has been waiting for you for a long time, please!"

Zhao Xin imitated the other party's appearance, clasped his fists and said, "So it's the leader of Naxie, are you a Mongolian? May I ask which department you belong to?"

Nayinbu was a little puzzled, thinking why are you asking me?However, he still said politely: "I am from the Harqin Department."

"Oh." Zhao Xin nodded, turned around and told Monk Zhou, who had just been promoted to monitor, "Leave four people standing guard outside, and the others come in with me."

"Yes." Monk Zhou saluted and ordered four people to stand guard at the door.He led others to follow Guisheng, and entered the temple with Zhao Xin.

When Zhao Xin and his party came to the side hall, Na Qitai was already waiting at the door.He is now at the moment when soldiers are approaching the city and the fire is imminent, so he doesn't have so many gestures to show.

Zhao Xin cupped his hands and laughed, "Master, let's meet again!"

Seeing Zhao Xin's behavior in Beijing, Na Qitai couldn't express his awkwardness.I said to myself that a traitor of your mother who is under the banner of Zhu Ming is almost the same as me!But what he didn't know was that what Zhao Xin was thinking about at this time was Lao She's novel "The Five".The whole monkey eats mahua!

"Mr. Zhao, please sit down."

After the two sat down and waited for tea, Na Qitai was about to speak when Zhao Xin took the lead and said, "8000 taels."

"??"

"8000 taels of gold."

Na Qitai almost cursed, thinking why don't you go grab it!

Zhao Xin said with a smile: "Then you must want to say why I don't go to grab it, I'm just going to snatch it now."

Na Qitai's face turned blue from anger, and he stared at Zhao Xin.Behind him, Nayinbu and a staff member who looked like a master also had ugly faces.

Zhao Xin ignored it at all, and continued: "Accept this condition, and let's continue the discussion, otherwise I will continue to fire and tear down the city wall."

After a while, Na Qitai said in a deep voice, "Other than that?"

"I don't need to fight Ninggu Pagoda, and I can return it to you in Hunchun." Na Qitai was overjoyed, only to hear Zhao Xin continue: "South to Karen, Mongolia, west to Hunda Mountain, north to Baku Lake , east to the sea."

"Mr. Zhao, isn't your appetite too big?"

Zhao Xin restrained his smile, and said with a stern face: "The general, including the places I mentioned, plus your Heilongjiang general's jurisdiction, and even a part of Nejasak Mongolia, it was all 200 years ago. The land under Han rule. Do I need to remind you of the allusion to Nurgan Dusi? Those two steles are still standing at Yongning Temple!"

In the seventh year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming court promoted Nuer Ganwei to be the commander of Nuer Gandu, referred to as "Nuer Gandu Division", stationed in Nuer Gancheng (now Tlin on the right bank of the confluence of Heilongjiang and Henggun River in the lower reaches of Heilongjiang River, That is, the former place of Yuan Dynasty Zhengdong Marshal's Mansion).Nuergandusi is the highest level of military-political integration system in the local area, and it is directly subordinate to the central government of the Ming Dynasty.The jurisdiction of the Nuergandu Division extends from the Onon River in the west to Sakhalin Island in the east, the Waixing'an Mountains in the north, and the Sea of ​​Japan and the upper reaches of the Tumen River in the south, including the vast areas of the Heilongjiang River Basin, the Ussuri River Basin and even Kuye Island.

The stone steles mentioned by Zhao Xin are two stone steles erected in the Ming Dynasty: "Record of Yongning Temple Built by Imperial Edict" and "Record of Yongning Temple Rebuilt in Eight Years of Xuande". On the cliff in the southeast direction.

"You are talking nonsense! This is the land of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty! It is the hometown of my Manchu Jianzhou Department!"

Zhao Xin shrugged his shoulders and said with disdain, "My lord, you should know better than me how the Jianzhou Jurchens got here, right?"

Na Qitai sneered and said: "Before I entered the customs in the Qing Dynasty, I lived here since the Tang Dynasty. The east is adjacent to the sea, and the north is the small sea. Both are under the jurisdiction of Heishuijun Town. I raised troops against the Taizu to attack the four sides. Before the Ming Dynasty Emperor Wanli also conferred the title of "General Dragon and Tiger" on Taizu. This black water and white mountains, and millions of people are all owned by my Eight Banners Manchuria."

Zhao Xin chuckled and said, "Emperor Shenzong only appointed him as the governor of Jianzhou Zuowei, but he didn't agree with him to fight Haixi. Do you need me to remind you of the jurisdiction of Jianzhou Zuowei?"

In the middle and late Yuan Dynasty, the Huligai and Wodoli tribes of the Jurchens who originally lived at the confluence of the Mudanjiang River and the Songhua River began to migrate to the southeast.The Wudoli and Huligai tribes migrated to the Hunchun Estuary in the lower reaches of the Tumen River to settle.In the fifth year of Hongwu (1372), Wudiha Jurchen attacked Xiguan City, which was known as the "Renzi Incident" in history. The Wudoli and Huligai tribes were forced to move south, and finally came to live in the upper reaches of the Tumen River.The Wudori tribe is mainly distributed on both sides of the Tumen River centered on the Amu River, and the Huligai tribe is mainly distributed to the west of the Amu River.

In the ninth year of Hongwu, the power of the Ming Dynasty reached the edge of the Yalu River. Ye Wang led Xu Yu, Zhou E and others to the north of Tieling, and later expanded his jurisdiction to the Huli Gai Ministry.In the first year of Yongle (1403), Aha, the leader of Huligai, went to Beijing to pay tribute. Ming Chengzu appointed Aha as the commander and named him Li Chengshan.

In the second year of Yongle (1404), the Ming court sent imperial envoy Wang Keren to Tumen River to formally establish Jianzhou Guard.According to the research of later generations of scholars, the area set up by Jianzhou Weichu reached the Songhua River in the east and Jilin City in the north.The core city is Fengzhou (now four kilometers northeast of Huadian City, Jilin Province, the former site of Sumi City in Tang Dynasty.)
The place Zhao Xin now occupies belonged to the living area of ​​the Haixi Jurchen in the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, Zhao Xin finished talking about the origin of Jianzhouwei, and said lightly: "You say that this is your hometown of the Qing Dynasty, but it doesn't make sense from the legal point of view. You bannermen can call this place your own Longxing place only by relying on What matters is whose sword was faster back then. As for now, our Han people's sword is faster than yours! Your 2-strong army is my whetstone!"

While talking, Monk Zhou behind Zhao Xin saw that Qitai's hand touched the handle of the waist knife several times, so his own hand also touched the waist holster, and opened the holster calmly. trip button.Monk Zhou believed that as long as the opponent dared to draw a knife, he would be able to bring the opponent down first with one shot.

Na Qitai was almost driven mad by Zhao Xin's nonsense, he really wanted to draw his sword and slash him.He didn't understand how Zhao Xin knew about these old things.As a former Lanling bodyguard, Na Qitai had studied for a few years, but he really didn't know as much about the historical allusions of this land as Zhao Xin did.And the other party's words are too annoying!The Eight Banners warriors who dare to love my Qing Dynasty are all your whetstones!By the way, we have to add a Marshal Fu
He looked up and saw the big black soldier behind Zhao Xin looking at him with a murderous look on his face, his heart jumped a few times in disappointment, and then he pinched his left hand fiercely, and then he calmed down.He understands that he is just the meat on the plan board, and he can ravage it however he wants.

Tolerate!You must bear this breath!
Na Qitai asked: "Can I tell you the whereabouts of Marshal Fu?"

"He's a guest at my place. Not only him, but also Duerjia."

"You have also arrested Dujunmen! Well, what conditions do you need to release him?"

"That's another matter. Ask someone from Qianlong or the Fucha family to talk to me. You can't afford his price."

"8000 taels of gold, if you withdraw your troops, Hunchun City will also be returned to me?"

"The old man is innocent."

"What about Fuldan City?"

"Hehe, what do you think, my lord?"

"Such a large amount of money, I need to raise money."

"Three days. I'll only give you three days. When the time comes, if you don't see gold, continue to demolish the city."

Na Qitai was about to cry, although Ninggu Pagoda was considered a "big city", it was also a "big city" in a place of bitter cold, even if he dug the ground three feet, he might not be able to collect so much gold.If you ask Agui from Ula, Jilin for help, there will be too little time.

"Master Zhao, there really isn't so much gold in the city. If you want silver, ginseng, and Dongzhu, I can definitely get them together."

Zhao Xin thought about it, and felt that it was too much.Now that the purpose of publicity and deterrence has been achieved, he didn't want to waste any more time in Ninggu Tower, so he said, "Okay, I'll take a step back, 5000 taels of gold, and the rest will be made up as you said."

Three days later, Zhao Xin got the ransom, and after checking it was correct, Beihai Town began to pull out the camp and evacuated towards Hunchun.Behind them is Ninggu Pagoda, which is three feet high.

Na Qitai didn't dare to be careless, he waited for two full days before sending troops out of the city.After confirming that Zhao Xin and the others had really left, they sent someone to report to Agui in Wula, Jilin.

Ten days later, the Qing army in Ningguta arrived in Hunchun City cautiously.The imaginary scene of massacre did not appear at all.In Hunchun City at this time, except for a few dogs barking in the street, there were no pedestrians inside and outside the city, and every house and every household had their doors closed.Because all the garrison soldiers were killed in battle, a big red cloth banner (soul banner, Manchu custom) was erected in the yard of almost all bannermen.

When the local bannermen learned that the soldiers and horses of the imperial court had finally returned, they all wept loudly, and each family organized funerals one after another.

Agui, who ran back to Ula, Jilin, finally let out a sigh of relief when he learned that Zhao Xin had retreated.However, when he learned that Zhao Xin played the banner of Qianming, he was shocked.This is a serious problem!If it is not cut off, the Qing Dynasty will never have peace!
At the beginning of October, with the delivery of Agui's second confession to Beijing, the defeat of the Qing army could no longer be concealed. The 74-year-old Qianlong was furious when he learned that more than 2 people had escaped and only 1000 people had escaped.

Playing the banner of the former Ming Dynasty in the land of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty was like stabbing a knife in Qianlong's heart. It must be done properly to launch a crusade!But when to use troops will have to be carefully discussed.After this battle, the Eight Banners Manchuria has been injured.If the green battalion is recruited to go north, then it needs to be carefully planned.

But even if it is to raise troops to attack again, there are still a few things that must be done first.The first is to send guards from the Qianqing Palace to Wula, Jilin, to detain Agui for interrogation, and to be convicted after the imperial envoy arrives; the second is to order the eighth son of the emperor, Yongxuan, and Heshen, the co-organizer and household secretary, to be imperial envoys to Jilin Ula, find out the reason for the defeat; third, adjust the commander of the Red Banner Guards, Yili Counselor, and Acting Ushi Counselor Mingliang, and rushed to the post of acting general in Jilin.

In the end, it is to declare the crime to the world.For such a big matter, the Qing court couldn't hide it even if it wanted to.However, Qianlong still wanted to play down the matter, so a non-painful edict appeared in the eyes of the world:
"I admire Hao Kuang. For 60 years, I have always been afraid. I am cautious every day, and I dare not be idle. I train the government every day, and I will be slack and pious. I hope to share the blessing of peace with the subjects of the world. Thieves and bandits make chaos and steal data The birthplace of my dynasty, my heart is terrified, sleep and food are peaceful. Respectfully read the memoirs of Emperor Shengzuren, which contains the battle of Yaksa in the 22nd year of Kangxi. The way of governing the country is expected to be long-term stability and long-term governance, and it cannot be easy For a time. Great precepts, teachings are most profound, and I will obey the hadith.

When there is nothing wrong with peace, I will spare no efforts.That is to say, the battle of Dingbei does not seem to be very important, but the most important thing to do.However, the soldiers move according to the camera, and the changes are endless.The generals did not follow my instructions, which resulted in a loss of opportunity.Although I warned you again and again, all the ministers failed to understand and acted carelessly.Any deficiencies in political affairs are my fault, not the fault of the emperor."

In mid-October, Zhao Xin, who had already arrived at the Sheyang Lake Farm in northern Jiangsu, couldn't help laughing when he saw Qianlong's "Edict of Guilt".

"This old man, since he decided to issue the "Edict of Guilt", regardless of whether it is true or not, he must at least show a humble attitude or empathy instead of showing merit. When he came up, he proclaimed that he had done his best, and said that the people below did not listen to him. Command. This is not an admission of error, it is simply an acceptance speech!"
