Chapter 437: Shuzhong (First Update)
The autumn wind is whining, rolling off the dead leaves on the trees, these days, suddenly blowing the northwest wind, the north wind howling, although it is only late autumn, but it is already cold, the world is full of a bleak scene. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
This weather, this season, coupled with the news that comes from time to time, only makes the city of Chengdu even more gloomy.
What happened to the Great Qing Kingdom?
Many people in Chengdu are asking this, sometimes people are used to being slaves, and they are used to it, maybe the Manchus have never regarded them as human beings, or maybe they also know that the Manchus have never regarded them as human beings, but they are still used to the rule of the Manchus, used to the braids on the back of their heads. More than 200 years ago, millions of Han Chinese preferred to die rather than shave their heads, and now for many Han Chinese, they have long regarded braids as a habit. even self-hypnotized and said, "This is our great Qing Dynasty bearing."
When a slave is accustomed to servitude, he prefers to be a slave rather than a man.
But not everyone is like this, in fact, for the vast majority of people, they can be called "Junjie" who knows the times, especially under the enslavement of the Manchu Qing Dynasty for more than 200 years, most of the Han people's backbone has long been slaughtered and killed by butcher knives.
For the Manchus, this was naturally a good thing, and everyone knew the "handsome" of current affairs, and naturally they would also know the current affairs, so that they would no longer say "no" to their colonial enslavement, and this was probably the greatest "contribution" of the Manchu Qing to China - through spiritual control, almost fundamentally destroying the hope of a nation.
However, it is also difficult for the Manchus to imagine that the "prosperous era and the scene of thanksgiving" they created through massacres, literary prisons, deletion and alteration of ancient books, and tampering with the history of the Ming Dynasty have become their amulets on the other hand. For many, they are also oscillating between "handsome" and "loyal".
As the governor of Sichuan, he has always been able to describe it as fearful, on the one hand, he is worried that the Han army in Hubei will come over, and on the other hand, he will suppress the local civil rebellion in Sichuan.
“…… Although Sichuan has natural dangers to follow, but the so-called Sichuan Road danger, how can it stop the Han army from attacking, Leyi, if the Han army hits this Chengdu, what should you do? Be a loyal servant of the Qing Dynasty? ”
The corners of his lips raised slightly, and Zhao Deming sneered.
"But in the eyes of the Qing Dynasty, this Hanchen can't be trusted, the reason why the younger brother hung up the crown from the Hanlin Academy is because those Manchu people, now they are like thieves to guard against our Han people, more than two hundred years, those Manchus don't regard us as their own people at all, Le Yi, do you think that even if you want to be a loyal minister of the Manchus, how can the Manchu court trust you?"
Zhao Deming's rhetorical question made Wang Qingyun's brows suddenly locked, he and Zhao Deming are not only the same year, but also the situation is also similar, although Zhao Deming is a native of Jiangsu, but he went to the exam in the same year as him, and he also failed five times, after the two were similar for the first time, they made an appointment to go to Beijing five times to catch the exam, and at the same time in the ninth year of Daoguang, he was also appointed as a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, but compared to Zhao Deming's official road seems a little tortuous, until now it is just a noble four-grade Beijing official.
However, this does not hinder the friendship between the two, the reason why Zhao Deming came to Chengdu from the capital this time is to persuade Wang Qingyun to persuade his friends to make a more beneficial choice for himself, of course, the reason why he does this has his own selfishness, he thinks that he is full of talent but has not been used for decades, and he has a deep complaint about the court. After carefully observing the Han and Taiping armies, he immediately made a choice - to leave Beijing.
On the way south from Beijing, when passing through Henan, Zhao Deming thought a lot, just went to Wuchang empty-handed, I am afraid it will be difficult to be reused, and it was here that the news that Jiangning was conquered by the righteous army in half a day reached Henan, and after repeated consideration, he immediately made another decision to enter Sichuan to visit Wang Qingyun.
"Now that Nanjing has been seized by the Han Duke, Jiangnan will soon be returned to the Han Duke, if the imperial court can't trust Brother Le, and the official of Leyi, what will happen to Brother Le?"
"Wenting, you came to Chengdu thousands of miles away, just to be a lobbyist for Zhu Yifeng?"
Wang Wenqing looked at his old friend and said.
"Lobbyist?"
Shaking his head, Zhao Deming said with a smile.
"Le Yi, you look down on your little brother too much, if the little brother is a person from the Han Gong, how can he hang the crown and go south? The reason why the younger brother came here, one is for the future of Brother Le, Brother Le and the younger brother are generally not ranked five times, after the title of the gold list, decades of hard work before today, if the Han army enters Sichuan, Le Yi is a loyal minister of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the "friendship of the monarch and minister" is complete, but what should the Wang family do? Le Yi became a loyal minister, but this loyal minister is a loyal minister of the Manchurians, and his brother is a Han Chinese! In the future, will they all carry the reputation of traitors? ”
This question made Wang Qingyun's brows furrowed suddenly, this is exactly what he was worried about, this Qing Dynasty is different from others, the Qing Dynasty was built by the Manchus, they are alien barbarians, if the world returns to the Han people, those barbarian loyal ministers, are they traitors? Just like in the Ming Dynasty, I don't know how many people were called traitors because they were loyal servants of the Mongols!
Seeing that Wang Qingyun frowned and was silent, Zhao Deming continued.
"As for these two are also for themselves, although the younger brother is not a person of the Han Gong, if he can persuade the first brother Le to join the Han Gong, he will definitely be able to reuse it for the Han Gong, so that he can show what he has learned in his chest, and the selfishness of the younger brother naturally does not dare to hide it in front of the elder brother!"
Zhao Deming's words made Wang Qingyun nod, even if he didn't say it, Wang Qingyun could guess his purpose, now that he said it so bluntly, then this is undoubtedly sincere. In front of smart people, the more scheming they are, the more difficult it is to gain their trust, and Zhao Deming, who knows this well, is naturally honest with each other.
Smart people are naturally easy to deal with, and after Zhao Deming treated him honestly, he pondered for a moment Wang Qingyun sighed helplessly.
"Wenting, there are some things that are easy to say, but if they are really done, it will be difficult!"
After this sigh, Wang Qingyun's eyes looked to the southwest, his face was full of helplessness, his appearance fell in Zhao Deming's eyes, and he immediately understood the reason - full city!
There is also a full city in the city of Chengdu, after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the Manchus who occupied the Central Plains with foreign races set up a full city on the world's traffic arteries, as a deterrent, and the garrison eight banners stationed in the provinces undertook the mission of "determining the world with martial arts". The imperial "General Zhen" said: "The Eight Banners Forbidden Brigade, the Imperial Capital, the Increasing Moon, the Scattered Areas, and the Yixing Liangmo." The Eight Banners Army stationed in the world's transportation arteries was the decision of the Qing Dynasty.
Kangxi 57 years, began to build in Chengdu "full city", Chengdu's "full city" and barracks by the Sichuan Province prefectures and counties donated funds to build, located in the southwest corner of the city, the circumference of the city is about four miles and five minutes, the city wall is about one zhang four feet high, the whole city is a rectangle. There are more than 10,000 officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners and their dependents. There are a total of 24 bannermen, of which there are 16 banners in Manchu and 8 in Mongolia. The Qing Dynasty made the garrisons of the Eight Banners in the provinces the pillars of its rule, and "the mountains and rivers were often overflowing" to monitor the green camp and local authorities, and suppress the Han people's rebellion.
And now, this is exactly where Wang Qingyun is concerned.
"Le Yi is worried about the nearly 20,000 people in this city?"
Zhao Deming asked tentatively.
"Wenting, since I set up Dingding, I have been worried about the stubborn people of the country, or more on the other side, but I have set up garrisons in various provinces, which has far-reaching implications."
Wang Qingyun unmistakably stated the Qing ruler's deep planning and the mission of garrisoning the Eight Banners, which was also what he was worried about, he was afraid that he would be attacked by the full army and end up dead.
"It does ......"
Nodding, Zhao Deming said with a smile again.
"Mountains and rivers are passes, often full of their purpose is to monitor the place, it is inevitable that Le Yi has this concern, but Brother Le only saw the deterrence of the spread, but he didn't see it, but the people in the city are also the name of the brother!"
Vote for the name!
Zhao Deming's words made Wang Qingyun's eyes widen slightly, and he looked at him for a while before speaking.
"You mean...... However, I haven't heard of Zhu Yifeng's killing of Manchurians, even if Guangzhou and Jingzhou are full of cities, they have not heard of him harming Manchurians! ”
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Zhao Deming said directly.
"Today is not the past, in the past, he Ye Mingchen did not kill people to gain the trust of the Han Gong, because the strength of the Han Gong is weak, and it needs to attract the hearts of the people, and today Ye Mingchen is only the head of the Ministry of Rites, such as Zhang Liangji and Luo Bingzhang, but they joined the army left and right, although they joined the army, they had the fact of being the prime minister. Now that the Han Dynasty has almost pacified the south of the Yangtze River, if Le Yi does not do something, how can he win the trust of the Han Dynasty if he is a Xinjiang official? ”
After the official and the minister, even if he wants to make some choices, it is extremely difficult, and Zhao Deming's words are also true.
"Therefore, Chengdu is full of cities, not only is it not a bad thing, but it is a good thing, with this vote, how can my brother worry that he can't show his heart to Han Gong!"
"Han Gong is benevolent and righteous, the world knows it, if I take the liberty of making a move, will I ......?"
Wang Qingyun didn't even notice the change in his words, and his words fell on Zhao Deming's ears, which made him feel at ease, and he chuckled.
"The benevolence of the Duke of Han, how can it be the benevolence of a woman, some things, when the courtiers do, it is a good thing, such as that Li Ziyuan, how can there be tens of thousands of people killed in Nanjing, and hundreds of thousands of displaced people, it can be said that Nanjing was empty for a while, and the Duke of Han also reprimanded it for cruelty? On the contrary, they are doubly appointed. ”
Nodding, Wang Qingyun's brows were furrowed, and now he was completely persuaded by Wang Qingyun, but he was still a little worried in his heart, after all, the city was full of high walls, in case ......
"Leyi, as for the ...... of the city"
Staring at Wang Qingyun, Zhao Deming said in a low voice.
"We can do this......"
