Before preparing for a military response, Bai Nam did one more thing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Yongzhen, the eleventh son of Qianlong, who has been trapped on Nanguwei Island for more than ten years, was invited by the Tang Calligraphy Association to participate in the event in Shanghai. Among Qianlong's princes, the eleventh elder brother Yongyan was a strong competitor of Jiaqing Yongyan, and people speculated that the heir was guessed between these two elder brothers. When the Tang Dynasty and the Qing State had a disagreement, the members of the Manchu royal family, who had been very strict by the Tang people, actually returned to the mainland, although they were still in the territory of the Tang Kingdom, but they still made people think about it.

Especially in this visit, the media also behaved very high-profile, and many Datang media reported it, and there was no chance to point out Yongying's identity, so he almost blatantly said his intentions.

Maybe it's just Yongying's visit, this signal is not clear enough, but the reaction of the Tang people next has already made people think about it.

On the second day of Yongying's visit, the Datang Far East Theater Command announced the implementation of a large-scale live-fire military exercise, codenamed "Danxin," in which almost all units of the Tang Army stationed in the Qing Dynasty took full part, and the Tang Army in North, East, and South China all started to act at the same time.

The troops of the 1st Brigade of the Tang Army, three mechanized infantry regiments stationed in Shanhaiguan, Tanggu and Baoding, began to maneuver in the direction of the capital at the same time. For example, the Longya Regiment of the First Brigade stationed in Baoding maneuvered from Baoding to the vicinity of Gaobeidian one day and night after the start, and passed by the Qing army's barracks along the way, and the Qing army did not even have the courage to wait and see, and had no intention of hindering the operation of the Longya Regiment.

According to the military cooperation agreement between the Tang Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, if the Tang troops stationed in the Qing Dynasty were mobilized, they had to notify the Qing court. In fact, this time the Exercise No. 33 program was carried out. Started the war "Danxin" exercise. The Tang embassy also informed the Qing court in time. The so-called timeliness is that 3 minutes and 25 seconds after the notice was sent to the Qing Military Department, the Longxiang Regiment of the Datang Model Force in Tanggu began to march.

The actions of the Tang people made the Qing military department turn on their backs and be in a hurry, and the military department Shangshu Fukangan hurriedly reported the news to Emperor Jiaqing.

"What? What military exercises is the Tang Army going to carry out in Gyeonggi? Jiaqing was stunned.

Fukangan added: "And this time is very unusual, the Tang people did not inform us of the specific time and place of their exercise, only explained that the exercise project is confidential and cannot be conveyed to us, but asked us to cooperate and not to disturb them." ”

Jiaqing's face turned red all of a sudden. He scolded: "This is my land, my country, this group of bandits mobilized troops in my Great Qing Kingdom to let me not disturb them?!" ”

However, the old incident of capturing the dragon and breaking into the Forbidden City to hold him back then is still vivid, Jiaqing heard the military actions of the Tang people, after all, he was still a little scared, he immediately asked Fu Kangan: "Fu Aiqing, according to you, what do the Tang people want to do?" ”

Fukangan said: "In the military theory of the Tang State, there is a method of operation called strategic deterrence. There is a similar statement in the traditional military books. It is to show off his might and intimidate the enemy, so as to achieve his own goals. If you want to say that the Tang people really want to do something against us, I don't think so, because if they really do it, the Tang people are afraid that they will not say that they are going to conduct any military exercises, but that their embassy will directly issue a war letter. Therefore, this military exercise, especially if it is so close to the Beijing Division, and what kind of large-scale actions are carried out, the Tang people just want to scare us. ”

Jiaqing listened to Fukangan's analysis very reasonably, nodded, and put his heart back in his stomach. He asked, "Fu Aiqing, how should the imperial court deal with it?" ”

Fukangan is still a military general with great vision and ability, and he replied directly: "Back to Your Majesty, at this time, our army is the best to respond to all things unchanged." The Tang people don't really start a war, and we don't have to be too nervous to really make any trouble. If the Tang people want to show off their military might, what kind of show of force is up to them, how can the imperial court compete with Tang diplomatically, and still maintain it. ”

Jiaqing felt that what he said was still very reasonable, but Jiaqing was dissatisfied. First, no matter what the Tang army did near the capital, even if everyone walked around hand in hand, it would be a great shame for him, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. As he said, this is his kingdom and his capital, but the Tang people can come and do whatever they want, just like themselves, which is an insult to his emperor's dignity.

Maybe before, Jiaqing wouldn't think so, but now Jiaqing has swelled, and he feels more and more that he should become a more independent and powerful king, and should not be held hostage by the Tang people, so he takes dignity and face more and more seriously.

But at the same time, Jiaqing also had to think in another direction, although Fukangan said that the Tang army would not act rashly, but the Tang people had already gotten his eleventh brother to Shanghai, who knows if the Tang people would look at him unpleasantly, repeat the capital incident of the year, directly enter the Forbidden City, pull him off the horse, and transport him to Nanguwei Island to be his emperor Ama as a companion, and let his eleventh brother Yong Ying come to sit on the dragon chair, because Yong Ying may be more obedient than him.

Thinking of this, Jiaqing irrepressibly became afraid. His throne was actually given to him by the Tang people, and it is not impossible for the Tang people to take away his throne now. In this way, Jiaqing is even more unlikely to be as calm as Fukangan said.

Jiaqing pretended to be calm and said: "The Tang army is acting recklessly, I must be on guard in the Qing Dynasty, Fu Aiqing, when we immediately mobilize the Praetorian Guard to deploy outside the Beijing Division, no matter what the Tang Army moves, we can have a response, and the troops of the towns of the North China New Army should also return to the Beijing Division to prepare for the unexpected." ”

Fukangan knew that Jiaqing was not at ease after all, so he mobilized all the troops and horses in a big way, wanting to surround his Beijing division into an impregnable one, so that the Tang people could not easily succeed. What kind of consideration Jiaqing is, Fukangan is naturally clear, but he thinks there is no need to object, he judges that the Tang Army will not make any substantive moves, although the two countries are now making trouble, but in the end there should be a peaceful ending.

It should be unlikely that the Great Qing State will fully realize its three conditions, but in the case that the Tang people are not strong in their specific willingness to go to war, they should make certain concessions, and Fukangan is also happy to see that the Great Qing State, which is becoming stronger step by step, gradually grasps part of the initiative in the face of the power of the Tang State, and gains some status and rights.
