Chapter 168: Qianlong [Seeking Collection]

[Dragon Boat Festival, eat zongzi. Anyway, I like to eat pure white rice very much......]

Qianlong, who was born in the 50th year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, is already 60 years younger this year, and he is 58 years old according to the rules of this era. This age has entered old age in the fate of many emperors in Chinese history in the past, for example, his father Yongzheng was fifty-eight years old when he died. But for Qianlong, a man who could live to the age of 89 and still hold great power in the original long history, 58 years old is still very young.

His youngest son, the seventeenth prince Yongxuan, was born just last year, which seems to be proof that Qianlong is healthy and energetic.

Emperor Qianlong, who controlled the land of China, was arrogant, arrogant, and loved to enjoy, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the peak from his hands, and also went downhill from his hands, just like Li Longji of Tang Xuanzong a thousand years ago, there are too many similarities in the personalities and fates of the two. Of course, Qianlong was much luckier than Li Longji, and the Sichuan-Chu White Lotus Rebellion in his later years did not destroy the prestige of the Manchu court and the ruling order in one fell swoop.

But after his reign entered the thirty-second year, Qianlong began to feel angry in his heart.

First of all, Burma, since five years ago, they have attacked and infiltrated the areas under the jurisdiction of Tusi in the interior of Mengding and Gengma, and the local government in Yunnan has deployed defenses along the Rolling River, but they still prefer appeasement and do not want to be troubled. Therefore, in the second year, the director of a border mine led his troops across the river to capture and kill Burmese soldiers, which was considered to be "killing good and risking merit" and was executed. However, the Burmese side has no intention of relenting. When the inland Tusi of Mengding and Gengma were a little calmer, the area under the jurisdiction of Cheli Tusi (now Xishuangbanna) was still not calm. In the 27th to 29th years of Qianlong, the Burmese Meng Gong Tusi led his troops and the army of the Gongbang Dynasty to harass him for many years. Especially in the 30th year of Qianlong, the scale of harassment escalated suddenly, and the Burmese soldiers entered many places in Cheli Tusi to extort money and food and kidnap the people.

From Burma's point of view, this was the time when Burma was at war with its historical rival Siam, and the Burmese ruling class formulated a policy of attacking Siam along the Chiang Mai and Vientiane lines.

But did the Qianlong Emperor need to consider Burma's position? Emperor Qianlong was furious.

Liu Zao, the newly arrived governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, urgently sent troops to pursue and suppress him, but except for capturing 5 people, there was no other result. The two sides 'contacted' for three or four months, but the Qing troops did not achieve much success. On the contrary, on the way to rescue Meng'a, about 600 Qing soldiers fell into an ambush of the Burmese soldiers and were routed, killing and wounding more than 10 people. Emperor Qianlong was furious when he heard the performance and dismissed Liu Zao.

Subsequently, the Qianlong Emperor made the decision to go to war with Burma. However, as soon as the battle began, the Qing army was at a disadvantage, and the Qing army was defeated in the Battle of the Diwa River, and the commander Li Shisheng was imprisoned. In the summer, when a Chen army suddenly popped up in the heart of Henan, the Qing army lost again in Burma. By the time Emperor Qianlong mobilized the army of the four provinces and was ready to suppress and pacify the rebellion in the heart of the heart with a thunderous force, the Burmese army had already marched north into Kouyunnan, and Yang Yingju, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, who had falsely reported his military exploits, was executed on the basis of crime, and Qianlong ordered Fu Heng's nephew Fucha Mingrui to take the title of governor of Yunnan and Guizhou and the secretary of the military department to go to Burma.

Before a trace of good news came to the war in Yunnan, Qianlong successively received the defeat of Wang Tenglong, the governor of Shaanxi, and the green camp of Henan, especially the green camp of Shaanxi, which was pinned on by Emperor Qianlong, 8,000 people could not capture a small town of rebels, and the main force of the rebels with only half of their own strength collapsed. Qianlong was angry and wanted to give Wang Tenglong to death directly, if it weren't for Wang Tenglong's self-consciousness, he would have imprisoned himself in his residence as soon as he returned to Luoyang, and handed a very sincere note to Beijing.

Qianlong was difficult to make a decision on Wang Tenglong's performance for a while, and the matter of Chen's rebel bandits' entire army wearing armor completely exceeded his cognition, and he had the heart to believe that this was Wang Tenglong's excuse, but he felt that Wang Tenglong had come to this point, and he should not dare to lie to him. And he also knows his courtiers, Wang Tenglong, the newly appointed governor of Shaanxi, is not a tricky and slippery person in his impression, which makes Qianlong very suspicious, "Is that true?" ”

Of course, Wang Tenglong's attitude in the performance was very satisfying to him.

Many times the boss is not unable to forgive the mistakes and failures of the subordinates, and many bosses, especially the emperor of Qianlong, who is above 10,000 people, attach great importance to a person's attitude. Therefore, he did not immediately issue an order to give Wang Tenglong the death penalty.

Then there was an urgent report from Kaifeng, Henan Green Camp was defeated in Xuzhou, and Asiha asked for the death penalty; With Asiha, the governor of a province, at the forefront, Wang Tenglong's sin was much smaller. Although Asha is a banner person, Wang Tenglong is a Han Chinese.

After the defeat of the rebellion led by Fode, Qianlong's perception of Chen Jiajun has changed, and this matter is no longer a rotten basket poked out by the subordinates, and he can be regarded as invisible and let the subordinates solve it by themselves. This has really threatened the majesty of the imperial court and the ruling order, so on the one hand, he is angry at the incompetence of the Henan government, annoyed by the stupidity of Asiha, and on the other hand, he is also patient to mobilize a large army to quell the rebellion, first put down the chaos, and then settle the accounts after the autumn.

As a result, the result was ......, and the army of the four provinces and the five roads was defeated by two first. The strong combat effectiveness displayed by Chen Jiajun made Qianlong have to look sideways.

Qianlong mentally spared Wang Tenglong, and had already decided to let him serve in front of the army in the subsequent battle, and he would be guilty of meritorious service. And although Asiha is deaf and incompetent, so that there is such an unforgivable chaos under his rule, but after all, he is his own slave under the banner of Huang, and there are many people who have interceded for him in the past few days.

However, Yongrui's 13,000-strong Manchu army was also defeated. Not to mention that he himself was seriously injured, the governor of Huguang, the deputy commander of Jingzhou, the deputy general of Jingzhou City Garrison, and the general of Xing'an Town, one after another heavy generals died in the battle, and only 3,000 of the 13,000 army fled into Xinyang. There were less than 500 survivors of the 2,000 Jingzhou garrison flag soldiers, and the news spread to Jingzhou, and the city of Jingzhou was full of Han and Han cries, and every family hung filial piety.

"Take my edict, go to Kaifeng, and give Asiha the death penalty."

Qianlong slapped his palm on the table, and the jasper wrench on his thumb was shattered, didn't his thumb hurt? Maybe, anyway, Qianlong didn't feel a pain in his hands at this moment. He hurts his heart, 1,500 people, at least 1,500 banner soldiers were killed and captured, and there were not so many Eight Banner soldiers lost in the Ping and Zhuo rebellions.

Although most of the generals of the Qing army in Xinjiang were banner men, with some banner soldiers under them, as well as the soldiers of the Xishan Jianrui battalion, the main force was still the green battalion stationed in western Gansu and Balikun.

1500 banner soldiers lost in the first battle, since the Kangxi Dynasty pacified the three feudatories, whether it was Kang Mazi's three expeditions to Geerdan, or the battle of Hetongbo that made Emperor Yongzheng sad, there is no precedent for 1500 pure banner soldiers to die in a battle. Yongrui's defeat had a huge impact, which Qianlong couldn't bear.

"Remove Yongrui from the Duke of Fengen Fuguo and withdraw from the assistant leader. Take it into the capital. ”
