Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 706
It took Zhao Xin an afternoon to hold a meeting with Liu Sheng, Fan Tong, and Jiang Fan, and had a preliminary understanding of the situation of the troops on the western front.

In the general direction, he is actually most concerned about three things, the situation of officers and soldiers learning Uyghur, the progress of the purchase of camels, horses and cattle, and the previous struggle against Uqibek in Hami.

Needless to say, learning the Uighur language, and the purchase of large livestock is to provide sufficient logistical supplies for the westward troops after the beginning of spring.Jiang Fan only took over recently, and Fan Tong was in charge of the acquisitions in various places in the early stage.

Since it is a requisition, it will definitely cost money to buy, and it is not possible to buy and sell by force to lower the price.Although the funds of the Western Front Command are not abundant, Fan Tong knows that Zhao Xin will never be entangled in this kind of matter, let alone squeeze the common people, so he set a price higher than the market price. 20% acquisition standard.

Although the Xinjiang East Road in this year is sparsely populated and economically backward, but because the Manchu Qing has established military and commercial settlements for 30 years, and Hami and Balikun are the throats leading to Urumqi in the pass, Therefore, it is also a distribution center for large livestock such as camels and horses.

"Speaking of it, we had to hold the public trial meeting in Hami, and by the way, those guys who returned to the king were dealt with. Only then did the people's trust in us soar, and the acquisition became smooth. And then there are those in Xinjiang. The price of camels and horses is cheaper than Khalkha. At present, the various ministries have completed [-]% of the procurement plan. According to the current situation, by the end of February in the lunar calendar, basically [-]% can be completed, and the logistics team will almost Enough."

As soon as Zhao Xin heard what Fan Tong said, he smiled and said, "That's kind, I was just about to ask Hami about it."

Fan Tong said: "Du Liu has the most say in this matter, and he made a special trip to Hami for this. I wanted to go too, but I guess Ding Ke lost with him."

Jiang Fan on the side couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

Liu Sheng said with a smile: "I decided to go to see it temporarily after I received the telegram from Bayan. Firstly, this will boost the morale of the troops; secondly, I will be there in person, and the common people will understand what we are following. Who stands on one end. But to be honest, walking the Tianshan Road in winter is really hard work! Bayan led two regiments to march across the Tianshan Mountain, and now I am afraid to think about it."

Zhao Xin was noncommittal about this.In his opinion, it is really nothing to suffer to build the Beihai Navy into an iron-clad force, and even condense an invincible military spirit!
The Tianshan Mountains are dangerous in winter, but isn’t the hot Nanyang rainforest dangerous?If the Beihai Navy wants to become the army in his mind, it is still far away!
Then Liu Sheng talked about the public trial meeting he attended in Hami
After Uqibek Shakzapar was brought back to the barracks from Id Kah by Bayan, he was immediately interrogated.At the beginning, this guy gritted his teeth and refused to admit the crime he committed, only calling for injustice.Unexpectedly, after Huang Wanliang, who had been a security policeman, came out, it took only half a day for the other party to confess and press his fingerprints.

However, this is not the end yet. After Bayan sent a telegram to the headquarters, Liu Sheng and Fan Tong jointly responded to the telegram.The two told Bayan that they couldn't consume it once.It is necessary for Shakzapal to confess the crimes committed by the other three Uchibekes who even returned to the palace.It is equivalent to taking this opportunity to collect criminal evidence back to the palace and those dignitaries.

With the command of the headquarters, Bayan told Huang Wanliang, as long as Shakzapal is not killed, you can use whatever means you want.As soon as Huang Wanliang heard that there was such a good thing, he immediately used all his skills in the public security police school. It took a week to serve the former master Uchibok so badly that he couldn't survive, he couldn't die, and even In the end, as soon as I saw Huang Wanliang, I would cry loudly, so afraid that I would lose control.

It is said that many of the interrogation methods used by the public security police in Beihai Town are derived from a booklet that Zhao Xin taught Pianshan and Lu Shoushan back then.Since then, the interrogation skills of the public security police have improved rapidly, and beating and torture have become pediatrics. After the interrogation, no injuries can be seen on the body.Whether it was the Manchu Qing, the Tokugawa shogunate or even the spies sent by the Li Dynasty, as long as they were caught, they would not be able to hold back.And the content in this booklet was actually obtained by Zhao Xin and another person.

Remember that weapon dealer Andrew from another time and space?He once introduced a "business partner" to Zhao Xin, which also increased the scale of Zhao Xin's purchase of equipment by a level.The problem is that that person has worked for a long time in a department beginning with "K", specializing in anti-secret work.After the two got acquainted with each other several times, Zhao Xin took the opportunity of chatting and asked a lot of relevant information, and finally compiled it into a book.

Closer to home, under Huang Wanliang's thoughtful "entertainment", Shakzapal not only told the whole story about the crimes committed by himself and his relatives, but even told the other three Uchibekes and Hui Wang's mansion, etc. All the nasty things done in the year were also shaken out.

Facing the nearly one-foot-thick confession materials, both Bayan and Liu Sheng, who hurried to arrive later, were all sad after reading it; there were dozens of cases of raping women and killing people, and other evil deeds even more. It is countless.Liu Sheng even overturned the table angrily. It was hard for him to imagine how the Uyghur people in Hami survived all these years.

But at this time, Liu Sheng is no longer the violent and reckless man he used to be.He calculated carefully all night, and finally came to the conclusion that to deal with Hui Wang, a local snake who has entrenched in Hami for hundreds of years, he must use piecemeal methods.

It's nothing to catch a Dorobel who is full of titles, but the identity of the other party's "religious leader" has to be scrupled.

You must know that there are more than 200 temples in the entire Hami area, and the relevant religious figures are all under the control of King Hui.For example, the local grand imam, that is, Ai Laimu, is also held by the grand imam of the palace, and this grand imam was appointed by Huiwang.As a result, religious figures of all sizes in the Hami region were responsible to King Hui, who in turn controlled the Uighur and Kazakh people through them.

Even if his identity as a "holy descendant" was forged, he had been telling lies for hundreds of years after all, and no one at the bottom questioned him.Furthermore, the influence of the Sufi sect in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains is not ordinary, and there are even a large group of fans in the Hezhou area, and it affects the whole body.

Liu Sheng realized that in order to completely bring Hami back to the king, the indirect evidence at hand alone is not enough. Judicial power must be started first, so that the Uyghurs can see that the laws of Beihai Town are fair and have trust in it. just work.

The root cause of Huiwang’s management and economic exploitation of the Uighurs it belongs to is realized through religious courts.This thing has supreme power in the minds of the Weimin people, so even the former Manchu Qing government did not dare to get involved.

The highest religious court in the whole Hami area is located in the "Konamadris Mosque" in Huicheng, and it is composed of several judges called "Hazi". Zireyisi, General Hazi and so on.The judicial power of this religious court was limited only by Hui Wang.Below the Supreme Court are the religious courts in each district, which are in charge of Hazi appointed by the king of Hui.

Liu Sheng knew very well that the economic exploitation caused by the feudal serfdom would not be changed if the judicial power was not seized and the national law prevailed over the patriarchal law.And the subsequent public trial of Shak Zapal and others is only the first step in establishing judicial justice in Beihai Town!
"That's a good point! Liu, if you think about it this way, the establishment of the Western Front Command seems to be the right move!"

When Zhao Xin heard this, he happily patted Fan Tong's thigh and let out a crisp sound.Poor Fan Tong still didn't know enough about Zhao Xin, grinned his teeth in pain, and hastily rubbed his hands a few times.

"Some people in the committee now say that the issue between the north and the south of the Tianshan Mountains is simple! Those who disobey are arrested, and those who resist are killed. If you want me to say, this is farting! And it's the kind that stinks."

Zhao Xin got up and walked a few steps in front of the sand table, staring at the colorful banners with intertwined forces on it, but what he thought of was the word "Men Huan".

Since the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, with the introduction of Sufi teachings, independent sects and eunuchs have appeared one after another in Northwest China. Among them, the three major sects and Kubu Linye, Jiadilinye, Hufeiye, and Zhehelinye had a greater influence.The tribes in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains are commonly called "Yichan", while in Shaanxi and Gansu they are called "Protestants" and "Old Sects". They are hostile to each other and also communicate with each other.

The characteristic of this sect is that the leader can only be inherited by the descendants of the founder, and cannot be inherited by others; the people of the leader can only obey the "call" of the leader, and cannot violate it without reason; the leader governs many churches or mosques , the dean is directly appointed by the leader.The Patriarch is subordinate to the Patriarch.The leader of the church used the alms of the people to buy land, livestock, etc., and generally became the leader of the rich crown and a township, which also formed feudal privileges.

King Huihui of Hami is the leader of the unity of politics and religion in the Hami area, and he is also the most powerful one among the various family officials in the Northwest area.

If the issue of sects in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains is not resolved well, the issue in the land of Hehuang will be even more troublesome.And the core of this is one, judicial power.If you can't get this, breaking the personal attachment is nonsense.

Zhao Xin went back to the chair and sat down, and said to Liu Sheng, "Go on, what happened next?"

"Hehe, I sent someone to send a message to King Hui, and I went to talk to him at noon the next day, and even had a meal with roasted whole lamb." Liu Sheng smiled lightly and continued: "That Datai Giamote I also saw that there are other masters in the palace, personal staff, and imams in charge. These guys seem to be respectful, but in fact they are complaining inside and out, saying that we went to Id Kah to arrest people and violated the law. the previous agreement."

Naturally, Liu Sheng would not be intimidated by the gossip of the officials returning to the palace.He then briefly introduced the achievements of the North Navy in recent years, and then talked about his rectification of the Mongolian prince Baylor in Khalkha.When they heard that a certain Baylor from the Zhasaktu Khan tribe was executed by Liu Shenglai in a public trial because of his adultery with the Qing Dynasty and oppressing his subjects, everyone present felt that their calves were twisted, that the roasted whole lamb was no longer fragrant, and the cantaloupe was no longer delicious. Not sweet anymore.

Seeing that the fire was almost ready, Liu Sheng threw out all the crimes about himself and the other three Uchibeks in Shakzapal's confession.

The people who returned to the palace had been prepared for a long time, and they had also made a plan on how to defend themselves.They are not stupid. Ever since Shakzapar was arrested, Erdsir and his uncle Urmot knew that they had torn each other apart, and they could only be slaughtered if they didn't think about it.

But what they didn't expect was that the bastard Shak Zapal was completely bald, and there were many things that even Ermot didn't know.The most terrible thing is that this guy, together with another Uqiboke, quietly transported 5000 shi of grain and [-] taels of silver to the Qing army in Dihua.

When Erdesir saw this, his soul almost flew away!You must know that this matter was originally ordered by him, of course he will not admit it, and he can only let his subordinates take the blame.

After an urgent discussion with his subordinates, Erdsir had no choice but to agree to send another Uchibek to the Beihai Navy for justice.

On January 1794, 1, a massive public trial was held outside the east gate of Hami Huicheng.Almost all the villagers from Aletongleke Village came, and more than 5 villagers from the surrounding townships also came.

In order to show justice, the Hui king Erdesil also sat on the top of the city and watched from a distance with a binoculars.Beside him, big and small Taiji, Grand Master, Grand Imam, Guan Qi Gushan Zhangjing, Meile Zhangjing, etc. were standing or sitting in fur furs, and it was very lively.

Wang Rong, who served as the temporary prosecutor, read out the complaint, and Guangfu, who served as Uighur interpreter, translated the content of the complaint into Uyghur through the four loudspeakers set up on the stage, so that he could hear it clearly even when he was back in the city. Chu.Such a trial scene is really shocking!
When the crimes of the two Burkes were announced one by one, especially when the Apizi family came to the stage and made a tearful accusation, the Uighur people present were angry, but then they thought, isn’t that the master?Haven't these days always been like this!Especially when they turned around and looked at the row of dignitaries on the city wall, they sighed helplessly.

Seeing this, Guangfu, who had practiced all night in advance, suddenly raised his fist and yelled slogans filled with righteous indignation; Apizi's family also raised their arms to respond; Shout out.

Liu Sheng saw that the heat was almost ready, so he immediately got up and loudly announced the verdict, that is, the two men were taken to the Hami River and shot, and their property was confiscated!
Until then, the originally blank-eyed onlookers began to stir up a commotion. Although everyone didn't understand what shooting was, but the two committed a capital crime, and the official punishment was about to be announced, but they understood it from Guangfu.

That was Burke who was once high and noble!And one kill is two!
Finally, the emotions of some oppressed people broke out like a torrent.Daring to love Lord Burke also has today!In the name of Hu Da, fuck him!

"Flay them and hang them up!"

"Put it in a hole in the ice!"

"North Navy is doing great!"

Zhao Xin asked unsatisfactorily: "Dead?"

"Of course he died." Liu Sheng recalled the scene at that time, with the corners of his mouth curled up, and said, "It's only a little over 200 meters away from the trial stage to the river. The gun would be torn to shreds."

"What about those who returned to the king?"

"I left as soon as the sentence was pronounced! Later, I watched the video of the drone, and that person's face turned green with anger!"
