Chapter 283: Jinluan Palace's Deliberations

On rainy days, it is generally an early dynasty that does not need to go to the imperial gate to listen to the government.

Because after the early dynasty, the emperor had to send some rewards to the ministers to show the king's grace. So if there is no particularly important matter, the emperor will send down an edict early: there is rain today, and you will not go to court.

At this time, smoke curls up from the incense burner. Qianlong was sitting on the dragon chair in the Jinluan Palace, which was full of important ministers of the Qing Dynasty.

Today's Great Qing Kingdom is very unpeaceful, there are more wars everywhere, and it is in the difficult autumn of internal and external troubles in the empire, how can you take care of so many rules?

Annan has directly tore off his skin and invaded Guangxi, and Myanmar has also made obvious changes to the Yunnan border. Although Tsarist Russia in the north has not yet shown signs of invasion at this time, the empire is also unavoidable to guard against whether it will come over to invade the "land of Longxing" of the Qing Dynasty.

The greatest relief on the battlefield of the Empire is now in the northwest, and there is always good news coming from the battlefield of Jungar.

Under the fierce attack of the Qing army in the northwest, the rebellious Amur Sana has shown a trend of rout, and it is believed that taking him is just around the corner.

The Taiji Jinggon Zabu of the Hetuohui Special Department, who took the lead in evacuating the post and making trouble, has now been defeated and captured by Cheng Gon Zabu, the left deputy general of Dingbian, in Hangha, and is being sent to the Beijing Division.

Although there were sporadic unrest elsewhere, they also calmed down the local defenders, and the empire is now generally maintained.

However, the greatest turmoil in the Qing Dynasty was in the southeast, where the empire was most prosperous.

The southeast has always been a tax center of the Qing Empire. In particular, Jiangnan and Huguang are the money and grain bags of the imperial court, but now they are occupied by short-haired thieves in the southeast.

Everyone knows how this group of short-haired thieves came about, but no one dares to say it. After all, they are indeed "rebellious" and rebelling now, and they have no intention of Zhao'an.

Now they are the ones who give the Qing Empire the most headaches, and the people on the dragon chair of the Golden Luan Hall are the ones who are most annoyed.

"Schuhd (full. Where did the army led by Fu Sen (who had been renamed General Zhennan) go? Qianlong on the dragon chair asked eagerly.

Due to the defeat of the bandit army in the south of the Yangtze River, Nanjing was lost, and even entered the Jiangning Mansion to garrison the three princes of the Manchu Dynasty, Aixin Jueluo. Yongzhang was also hitched in the battle of Jiangning Mansion, and his whereabouts are still unknown. The four princes love Xinjueluo. Yonghui was also "seriously injured" in the war and had to return to the capital to recuperate.

The defeat of the Qing army this time was really an unprecedented shame and humiliation for our Qing Dynasty.

Qianlong originally wanted to give death to the Pingnan general Fucha. Fu Heng apologized. But with the love of the five princes of Xinjueluo. Judging from the evidence written by Yongqi and the generals of the Jiangnan Bandit Battalion, Fu Heng's poor command cannot be completely blamed for this defeat, and Wu Hetuo, the general stationed in Jiangning Mansion, also has an unshirkable responsibility.

Originally, the Jiangnan bandit battalion negotiated with Wuhetuo, and Wuhetuo used the thick walls of Jiangning Mansion to resist the consumption of thieves for seven days. Seven days later, the Jiangnan bandit battalion joined forces with the defenders of Jiangning Mansion to launch a general attack on the anti-thieves, in order to drive the short-haired anti-thieves out of Jiangsu in a battle.

But he didn't think that Wuhetuo had such a well-defended majestic city as Jiangning Mansion, and he couldn't block the attack of the thieves for three days, and Jiangning Mansion was captured.

But to blame Wu and Tuo for their incompetence, you can't blame him entirely.

Admittedly, it was his fault that Uheto failed to detect that there were Green Battalion soldiers in the city who had rebelled against the thieves. However, the grotesque tactics of the anti-thieves and the ferocity of the firepower are also unheard of and unseen, and it is really difficult to come up with a coping strategy.

Who would have thought that this group of thieves would be able to make a large Kong Ming lantern that could carry people to the sky, bombing and setting fire to the defenders on the city wall. What is hateful is that those Kong Ming lanterns in the sky cannot be shot with arrows, and they cannot be hit with cannons. The defenders of Jiangning Mansion could only be blown up and burned alive.

It is said that when the thieves attacked the inner city, they used nearly 200 artillery pieces to bombard the city wall for a long time.

With such firepower, even the Shenji Battalion of the Great Qing Kingdom does not necessarily have such strength.

Is this still an ordinary anti-thief? The army of the former Ming Dynasty may not have such strength!

Uheto was certainly at fault, and the court could no longer blame him now. After all, he was martyred after all, if you still want to blame him, who will be willing to die for my Qing court in the future?

Although Qianlong was tyrannical and tyrannical, he was not unable to see through this. However, this time the Qing army lost so much that Jiangning Mansion was lost, and someone had to come out and take responsibility. So Fu Heng became the best candidate.

Although Fu Heng said that he had an agreement with Wuhetuo, he was at fault with his command after all, otherwise he would not have lost all the way to the short-haired thief after losing Jiangning Mansion and retreated to Huai'an.

Even though the Jiangnan bandit battalion commanded by Fu Heng after the war "won a lot" against the anti-thieves, Fu Heng still couldn't offset the merits.

Therefore, Qianlong issued an order to remove the title of General Fu Hengping Nan and the title of Duke of the First Class, and ordered him to treat the Zhennan General Niu Hulu. After Fu Sen arrived and took over his government affairs, he returned to Beijing to make a decision.

Regarding Qianlong's will, Fu Heng did not have any complaints. After all, he did lose the battle and lost a prince. The emperor was already gracious if the court didn't immediately give him death, where would he dare to have any complaints?

"Back to the Holy Lord, the minions just received the latest news from Master Fu last night, their ship has landed in Shandong, and I believe that they will soon arrive at the Jiangnan bandit camp in Huai'an." Shu Mulu. Schuhd immediately stepped out of the line and replied respectfully.

"Good. Tell me my will to speed up their journey and not delay too long on the road. After they arrived at the Jiangnan bandit camp to rest and recuperate, they waited for an opportunity to move. Qianlong commanded.

"Hey, the minion obeys." Schuhd bowed and bowed.

"Arigon. Hubu Shangshu), is the grain and grass prepared in the Jiangnan bandit camp sufficient? Qianlong asked suddenly.

"Back to the Holy Lord, the household department has made every effort to deploy grain and grass to support the Jiangnan bandit camp, and the Jiangnan bandit camp is currently full of grain and grass." Niu Hulu. Aligon hurriedly replied.

"Well, that's good..."Qianlong nodded with satisfaction.

"It seems that I still have capable minions in the Qing Dynasty."

"Schuhed, what else do you have to do?" Looking at Shu Mulu at the bottom, I still haven't finished speaking. Shu Hede, Qianlong asked.

"Yes, Holy." Schuhd replied.

"Say." Qianlong said.

"Huh." Schuhd bowed again.

"The slave received another request from the Imperial Court last night from Zheng Yuanzhen, the governor of Guangxi, and asked the Holy Lord to decide."

Hearing this, Qianlong was silent for a moment and then said, "What kind of reinforcements can the imperial court send to support Guangxi now?" ”
