Because of the corruption case in Ulana, Qianlong transferred Changlin to act as the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and was responsible for investigating the corruption case in Ulana.

Didn't Changlin thought that just after he arrived, Kinmen and Xiamen islands were lost, and after some investigation, he found that it was Zhou Lang, a sea giant who surrounded Guangzhou, Changlin sighed unlucky while also recalling that this Zhou Lang was reasonable, so after determining that the Fujian and Zhejiang sailors could not recover Jinxia, and indeed learned Zhou Lang's powerful Changlin in Guangzhou, the idea of Zhao'an arose.

This Zhao'an came much faster than Zhou Lang expected, and the power that the Manchu government couldn't suppress would definitely be Zhao'an, there is no doubt that not only the Manchu government, but also the fierce Ming Dynasty, wouldn't it also be a pirate force like Zheng Zhilong. This is the traditional science of governance, and it has been so since ancient times.

But it was an accident that came so quickly. If it weren't for Changlin acting as the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, no matter who he replaced, I am afraid that if he didn't fight Zhou Lang to the death, there was really no way, and he wouldn't want Zhao'an. The reason why Changlin is like this is because last time Colin took Zhou Lang's soldiers into the city of Guangzhou, Changlin, as the governor of Liangguang at that time, did try his best, but he couldn't retreat from the enemy, and finally chose to give the other party 20 million silver dollars to break the fortune and avoid disaster.

Who would have thought that he had been transferred from Liangguang to Fujian and Zhejiang, but he still couldn't avoid this Haikou and the other party actually chased him to Fujian.

At that time, Changlin was unable to stop Zhou Lang with the power of the governor of Liangguang, and now he is even less confident in the position of governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, not that Fujian and Zhejiang are not as good as Liangguang, but because he has just taken office and is not familiar with various local forces, plus he came to investigate the case, arrested a large number of local officials, and made people panic, in this case, it is impossible for him to mobilize too much force, so after he got the news, he knew that in the face of Zhou Lang, he could not use force.

The good thing is that through his contacts in Guangzhou, he learned that this Haikou can be negotiated, his words count, and if he gives money, he will really withdraw from the army.

After knowing this situation, Changlin immediately made a decision, Zhao'an Zhoulang, and quickly. Rather than being beaten to Fuzhou by the other party and passively choosing Zhao'an, it is better to take the initiative to attack, and recruit him while the other party has just gained a foothold.

And Changlin is really afraid, if he makes this Haikou move and gets a soldier to besiege Fuzhou, or besiege Ningbo, he, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, is afraid that he will have to go to the old path of his predecessor.

The former governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Wu Lana, has been imprisoned, and Changlin himself operated it, but Changlin himself did not want to do it. Now everyone knows that Wu Lana was imprisoned on the charge of corruption, but everyone knows that in fact, this is the result of a power struggle.

The cause of this incident can be pushed back to the fifty-third year of Qianlong six or seven years ago, when the Fuzhou general Kuilun and the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Wu Lana, disagreed, and the two impeached each other, and Wu Lana impeached Kui Lun for "laughing and indulging"; Kui Lun impeached Wu Lana for forming a party and extorting corruption, resulting in the abolition of the government of Fujian Province.

It is unknown why the power struggle between the two began, but the cause was the mutual impeachment of the general and the governor, and if that was all, according to the custom, the two were only reprimanded by the emperor in the end, and it was over. However, Governor Woola was unlucky, and in the following years, he had a series of accidents.

In the traditional concept, Fujian is a place where the people are fierce, and there have been many bandits since ancient times, but in fact, the main reason is that there are few people in Fujian, and people can only take risks if they can't survive; Ulana's bad luck was that there were bandits, but he couldn't hold it down, and Ullana personally supervised the arrest of the thieves by his subordinates, and killed hundreds of people one after another, but they still came back from killing, and even many bandits went to Taiwan to cause trouble.

After the Lin Shuangwen uprising in Taiwan, the Qing court carried out more than ten years of investigation and killing of members of the Heaven and Earth Society in the coastal areas.

Last year's floods in the coastal areas of Fujian Province caused a large number of refugees to flee, and the local scholars asked Woolana to open a warehouse to release grain, but Woorana did not give a beak, and the official reputation was very bad.

But the biggest event that pushed Wu Lana to the edge of the cliff was the big event of Chen Zhouquan's uprising, Chen Zhouquan was first in the Tong'an area, and then went to Taiwan to start an incident, there was no Zhou Lang in history, and Wu Lana was also imprisoned. Now that things in Taiwan are making such a big fuss, it is inevitable that one or two big people will have to bear the blame.

The last straw that pressed Wu Lana was that his actions to deal with the rebellion made Qianlong dissatisfied. Qianlong has lost patience, he has seen that in the past few years, Wu Lana has been suppressing more and more thieves, and he has already suspected that the other party is perfunctory. And Wu Lana lacked courage, after the Taiwan rebellion, he was stationed in Quanzhou to watch, and he was suspected of arson, Qianlong repeatedly urged him to go to Taiwan to suppress it, but Wu Lan was stuck.

Historically, Qianlong has sent people to inquire, forcing Wu Lana to go to Taiwan, when Taiwan's Chen Zhouquan uprising has been suppressed, Wu Lana went to find an opportunity to shirk responsibility, he pulled out Lukang to inspect Zhu Jigong, before the uprising, it happened that Zhu Jigong because of the death of the elders in the family, in the name of Ding Wei went home to mourn. Wu Lana then shifted the responsibility for the Taiwan uprising to Zhu Jigong and impeached Zhu Jigong for "losing his official position, and getting up as a thief, that is, he took his family to the inner crossing, and asked him to seize the official position in Xinjiang." ”

At this time, Qianlong had completely lost his new position to Wu Lana, and issued an order to reprimand: "Wu Lana is the governor, the Taiwan thief rises, and the city is trapped. Wu Lana is afraid of prolongation, but wants to hide himself, how shameless! ”

Qianlong decided that Wu Lana was shirking responsibility, and it happened that Wu Lana was at odds with the local garrison of the Eight Banners generals, and the two struggled for many years, and they both thought of ways to put each other to death.

So Fuzhou General Kui Lun took the opportunity to impeach: "Wu Lana is anxious, and he caters to Qian Shouchun and others according to the inspection, and there are many prisons that have not been coordinated." Zhang, the spring is water, the rice is high, the people are poor, the governor Pu Lin and so on do not do it, and many enter the sea for pirates. Humen is close to the provincial capital, and there are also boat thieves. ”

Kuilun is very smart, he does not impeach Woo Rana for corruption, but due to his impatience, a person who is impatient is not suitable for such a high-ranking position as a governor, but in the emperor's opinion, Woo Rana is complicit with his subordinates, this is a party, it is a taboo.

So Qianlong was very disappointed in Woorana, and angrily demanded a thorough investigation, now it is not the power struggle between Kuilun and Woorana, but the emperor wants to kill Woorana. If the emperor investigates carefully, the officials of this era may not be stained. This investigation convicted Ulana and other officials of corruption, arson, and other crimes. Moreover, the emperor also deliberately sent the trusted Changlin to investigate, in fact, from the time he decided to investigate a big man like the governor, the emperor already had his own plan in his heart, and Wu Lana was able to pull it.

Changlin really didn't want to put Wu Lana to death, first of all, he and Wu Lana were both Jueluo, both clan relatives, they didn't see each other when they looked down, and they were both people in the same circle. But when Changlin came, Wu Lana had already fallen, Qianlong appointed the general of Fuzhou and the acting governor, and cooperated with Changlin to investigate the case, and he was a foreign governor, in front of Kui Lun, who was also the governor of Fuzhou, he was completely speechless, saying that he was presiding, in fact, many things were done by Kui Lun, and Changlin couldn't intervene at all.

Quiren and Woolana were both big players, and they were implicated in the struggle. Not only was Wu Lana, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, imprisoned, but Pu Lin, the governor of Fujian, and even a large number of officials in the prefectures and counties below were implicated, and the scope of implication was so extensive that the bureaucracy in Fujian almost lost control for a while.

Only after this investigation did I know that it may not be that Woola is so unbearable, it is really bad luck. The official warehouses in various places are empty, and it is not that Ullana refuses to open the warehouses to release grain to help the victims, but there is really no rice in the warehouses. In fact, Wu Lana himself has checked the deficit of official warehouses in various parts of Fujian.

Wu Lana himself inspected the warehouses in Zhuzhou County, Fujian, and reported that the deficit was 640,000 odds and 360,000 odds, and the final result was that the owner was limited to three years to compensate, that is, to let the treasury personnel make up for it within three years. However, Quiren also seized the handle and reported that the number played by Woolana was not a real number, believing that it was Ullana's corruption and connivance with corrupt officials.

Changlin has been trying to ease up, hoping that the big things will be small, trying to put the blame on some petty officials. Therefore, Shanglu said that it was the political treasurer Zhou Jing who invaded the treasury with 80,000 strange things, causing a deficit in the entire Fujian prefecture and county.

But Qianlong was bent on killing Wu Lana and other officials, but instead issued an order to reprimand Changlin and others for favoritism.

At this time, Changlin knew that the emperor was determined to clean up Wulana, and he didn't dare to cover up, so he could only come up with some real evidence, the most ironclad one was that Wulana received 150,000 yuan from salt merchants, and the governor Pu Lin also received 20,000 yuan.

Generally speaking, this kind of corruption case can be exonerated because of the genius invention of He Shen, and the crimes committed by officials in the late Qianlong period can be atoned with silver, which is called the silver for the crime. But this time, Qianlong personally interrogated and set the punishment of Wu Lana's house.

Changlin was personally responsible for copying the house, and copied 400,000 silver and more than 100 Ruyi, and Pulin's house confiscated 700 taels of gold, 280,000 taels of silver, and 60,000 taels of farmland. Then the two were arrested in Beijing and immediately beheaded. The political envoy Yi Zhebu was also arrested and entered Beijing and died on the way. According to the inspection, Qian was sent back to Fujian by Chun's prison, clamped twice, and flogged forty times, and then publicly beheaded in front of officials.

Because Changlin has been trying to save the situation in the process of investigating the case, the emperor thinks that Changlin is too lenient and not conducive to rectifying the rule of Fujian officials, so he asked Kui Lun to continue to investigate the case instead of him.

It is worth mentioning that under this kind of nesting, there are even some officials who are fat and deficient, and they can get out of the nest. For example, he was successively elected as the salt ambassador of Zhangpu Dongchang in Fujian, and a petty official named Zhang Tingchen was awarded to the magistrate of Gutian County, but he was not caught under the thorough investigation of Kui Lun, which shows that this person is really a clean official, because the salt farm is too easy to make money in this era.

And this petty official Zhang Tingchen, one of his grandsons, later became the Optimus Pillar of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, named Zhang Zhidong!

This Zhang Tingchen not only did not find out the problem himself, but like Changlin, he tried every means to rescue his colleagues, although they were all a group of corrupt officials, but in this era, Zhang Tingchen's actions were regarded as accumulating yin virtue, and he would definitely be developed by his descendants after being praised by everyone, and this development finally fell to Zhang Zhidong, and Zhang Zhidong is also a clean official, which is probably due to family style.

Historically, Changlin was originally recalled to Beijing, but because the bandits in Taiwan have not subsided, he continued to stay and be responsible for quelling the chaos, but he was removed from the power to investigate the case.

But Kui Lun's actions in Fujian were too big, causing Fujian to be very chaotic, which made Changlin unable to mobilize enough strength, and Zhou Lang called again at this time, so that Changlin had no other better choice except Zhao'an. Not only is it impossible to suppress the tough suppression, but if he doesn't get it right, he will end up with a Woolana.

Of course, he did not do this in private, but wrote a letter stating the facts and asking the emperor to decide.

Changlin said that the bandits in Fujian Province are serious, and they can only suppress them repeatedly, so it is better to suppress them and get twice the result with half the effort. claims to take care of one more thief, then the government can recruit one less soldier and use thieves to suppress thieves, which is the first volume.

As for whether the emperor will agree, in Changlin's opinion, the emperor actually has no other choice, after all, Taiwan has been completely lost, and Wu Lana's ineffective suppression of bandits has been dealt with, so he can't deal with the court officials one after another.

So Changlin first sent someone to talk to Zhou Lang, to see what this Haikou wanted, if it was still a matter of money, then it would be easy to do, this time Fujian Xingda Prison, it was very much to raid the homes of a large number of officials, if the emperor is willing to take out these sin silver, the thief's silver will be there.

The result of the negotiation was not smooth, Zhou Lang, a Haikou who didn't want money this time, he was the same as Yiren, and he actually asked for trade!
