631 Aftermath
Ji Yun brought the new covenant handed over to him by the Tang people back to the palace, and Jiaqing did not dare to disobey. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Compared with Qianlong, Jiaqing fundamentally lacks the qualities of a heroic emperor, he is ambitious, talented, indecisive, too proud in good times, and easy to be soft in bad times. When he saw that his throne might be shaken, Jiaqing lost any other thoughts of resistance and obediently agreed to the Tang people's request.
The two countries did not sign a specific treaty on the aftermath, and in fact, the three conditions put forward by Datang were fulfilled in different ways. The first condition is limited to verbal and not on paper, and of course this one is also the most useless. After suffering this unwarranted disaster, it was impossible for Jiaqing and the Qing court to continue to entangle the Tang people in the Qingzhou case. Datang has shown its attitude and is not an object that Qing Guo can handle casually.
The second condition was accomplished through "cooperation between the two militaries," which was naturally also a signing, but a separate memorandum of understanding for joint exercises between the two sides and liaison and financial transfers between the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Defense.
The last one is to amend the treaty, which takes the longest time, although basically there is no room for bargaining in the Qing court, but to pass the treaty, it still has to be considered article by article, and it will take about a month to finally sign it. Of course, from the moment Jiaqing nodded, the immigrants detained across the country must be released in full and presented to the immigration ship of Datang.
The 1st Brigade of the Tang Army led by Xie Jinwu also did not withdraw from the outskirts of the Beijing Division so quickly, which came from Bai Nan's confession, and he needed to put some pressure on the Qing court to prevent them from changing their minds before making any decisions.
This conflict, which is called an exercise but is actually a war, is short-lived. The intensity is not too high. However, it exposed many problems of the Qing army. The Janissaries were rigid and sluggish in command. After suffering a heavy setback, there is no strength to fight again. After the second town was defeated, the remaining two towns did not dare to continue to entangle with the Tang army outside the city, and directly entered the city without fighting.
Even more frustrating is the North China New Army's troops, although these horses are inferior to the Janissaries in terms of weapons and equipment, but they are also Jiaqing pinned high hopes, before and after the North China New Army only a small number of troops and the Tang Army exchanged fire, all of them took the initiative to withdraw from the battle under the condition of small losses. Moreover, there have been many cases where the Tang Army is clearly in front of them, avoiding them and not attacking. to the crushing defeat of the Janissaries. The North China New Army even stopped moving, and watched the Tang Army beat up the Praetorian Guards on the periphery, without even planning to help intervene.
These factors eventually led to the situation that Jiaqing had 100,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Gyeonggi, but did not fight the 1st Brigade of the Tang Army, which had only 10,000 men. From top to bottom, the Qing army was passive and unenterprising, and collapsed as soon as it suffered setbacks, much to the embarrassment of the Qing court.
After the war, he occupied the position of the secretary of the military department for many years, and even hoped to further become a scholar of the palace. Eventually, he resigned under pressure. Although Jiaqing is merciful and prosperous, but in this conflict. Fukangan played almost no role, and the inadequacy of the Praetorian Guard and the New Army also made it difficult for him to escape responsibility, and finally had to choose to resign.
The successor is also a Manchurian, there are not many Manchu ministers who can be used in the DPRK, this time it is Qinggui who pulls over the top cylinder, a person with a yellow flag, who happened to be outside the post at the time of the Beijing Incident and escaped a catastrophe. After the new policy, there were also some performances, he was the commander of the Northwest Military Region, with the rank of lieutenant general, and he was just promoted to general not long ago, and he was originally intended to replace Fukangan. However, at that time, the replacement was Fukangan's promotion, and Qinggui filled the position, and now Fukangan has retired directly and is replaced by Qinggui.
Jiaqing became unusually silent after this incident, and even did not attend many cabinet meetings, Jiaqing became secluded and did not express any more opinions of his own. It is unclear whether he was disheartened or deliberately kept a low profile so as not to anger the Tang people again.
The commander of the Praetorian Guard, Delentai, began to reorganize the Praetorian Guard after the war, but only organizationally. The Praetorian Guard soldiers who had been captured by the Tang Army were also released, and although the Second Town suffered serious losses, at least Delentai could still keep a shelf in the Second Town. What troubled Delentai was that the Qing army lost a large amount of weapons and equipment in the conflict, especially hundreds of precious field guns, which were purchased for thousands of Tang yuan each, which was equivalent to losing hundreds of thousands of yuan in the first battle.
It is naturally impossible for the Tang army to return the captured weapons of the Qing army to the Qing army, although it is impossible for them to use them themselves, but it is also a good way to make money by collecting them cheaply and selling them to other countries. And without these guns, the Qing court will inevitably have to buy them again, and at that time, the arms dealers of the Tang Dynasty can make another profit from the Qing court.
Above the Pacific Ocean, a 10,000-ton migrant ship is heading for Jiazhou at a speed of 16 knots. On the deck of the ship, some immigrants are moving freely, compared to the other migrant boat that trafficks piglets, the migrant boat in Datang is much freer, although the immigrants also have to be controlled, but they can also walk around the boat by themselves, and go to the deck to breathe or something.
Liang Chunxing looked to the west, the sea was vast, there was no end in sight, the sky was a little overcast, and the sea breeze was not small.
Shi Yide walked over and asked, "Have you started to miss your homeland?" ”
Liang Chunxing sighed: "This time it was too sudden, I didn't expect it at all." ”
Shi Yide said: "Actually, from the beginning of doing that, I knew that it was impossible to stay in Qingzhou Mansion for a lifetime. ”
Liang Chunxing said: "Master, you are not from Qingzhou, and naturally you don't have much affection there, but I am a native of Qingzhou, and I have lived there all my life. ”
Shi Yide also looked to the west, and after a long time, he said: "Do you think that this Qing Dynasty can continue to reign for a few more years?" ”
Liang Chunxing was taken aback and asked, "What do you mean, Master?" ”
"The Tang people have been operating in the Qing State for more than ten years, although it is still the imperial court that governs the government, but now this court has become more and more a way for the Tang people to make profits. Whether this Tang person is still a Chinese person, it is impossible not to have thoughts about the ancestral land. The Tang people are also less and less satisfied with relying on an inefficient court to rule the country, and one day, they will roll up their sleeves and do it themselves. At that time, it was the city head of the changing king's banner. ”
Liang Chunxing said: "If there is really this day, then I can still return to my hometown again." ”
Shi Yide said: "I don't plan to go back, I can be regarded as saving a lot of money by helping the Tang people." Look at finding a civil servant in North America to do it, and enjoy peace and happiness, and it is the same wherever you live. ”
