301 Situation
Jiaqing told the world that in fact, there are only a very few idiots like Cathay who are clearly opposing the new imperial court, and even this very few are actually only Cathay alone. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 This point even surprised Bai Nan, of course, only Cathay Pacific took the initiative to speak out and rebel, which does not mean that everyone else is obedient. Most of the rest of the local officials ostensibly accepted the new imperial court and the new emperor, but the series of reforms and orders made by Jiaqing were basically a kind of reply -- special circumstances, the conditions for the implementation of policies were insufficient, and the emperor was asked to wait. Those who let them come to Beijing to perform their duties will shirk the fact that they still have affairs during their tenure, and they cannot leave easily, and they will ask the emperor for forgiveness.
Basically, Bayansan in Shanxi and Chen Huizu in Henan all belong to those who immediately show their loyalty to the imperial court, and there is a characteristic of these two places, that is, the chaos caused by the Mixed Yuan Sect is expanding, and Chen Huizu was almost blocked on the road and died a concubine. Bayansan and Chen Huizu are both terrified of the rebels, and they can't quell the rebellion with their own abilities, so they can't wait to show their loyalty to the court in this opportunity, because under normal circumstances, Bayansan and Chen Huizu are not effective in suppressing bandits, and they obviously have to deal with them seriously, and now they are loyal to the new dynasty, but they will also get some encouragement from Jiaqing, and the values of Bayansan and Chen Huizu are also bullish.
For the time being, there is no governor in Hubei, and there is no governor (there is one in the original history, but there have been many changes in the official position because of the Li Shiyao case in this position), and the governor of Hubei sent by Jiaqing has also successfully taken office without encountering any problems. Li Hu, the governor of Hunan, is known as a virtuous person, and in the corrupt officialdom in the late Qianlong period, he was upright and decisive. This man is very capable. But it's also a stubborn temper. Li Hu believed that the new imperial court was subservient to the Tang people. And promulgated a lot of strange laws and evil laws, the gentleman can't be with it, and even vaguely scolded Jiaqing, to the effect that your father let the family be arrested, I don't know what poor mountains and bad water to throw sheep, but you became the emperor unjustly, and regarded the enemy as a benefactor, which is really unfilial piety in ancient and modern times. Such a court. I don't think there is a future, the day when the country will end is not far off, and I'm ashamed to be such an official of the court, so please let me go.
Jiaqing received Li Hu's letter, and he was so angry that he wanted to arrest Li Hu and behead him directly. However, Yuan Shoutong and other courtiers tried their best to dissuade him, saying that Li Hu was a good minister and a righteous man, and it was ominous to kill him, so he would resign if he wanted to, and he should not hear if he scolded the emperor. to show the emperor's generosity. Bai Nan also did not advise Jiaqing to kill Li Hu, in fact, Li Hu would not live long. So under the persuasion of many parties. Jiaqing instead gave Li Hu a very heavy gift, and then knighted him and let him hang the crown and leave.
However, in this way, Hunan was also taken over by officials sent by Jiaqing.
The governor of Sichuan, Wen Shou, was originally in Beijing, and his son Guotai rebelled, and Lao Tzu was also arrested. The new governor sent by Jiaqing to Sichuan was Li Shijie, a capable minister who had originally served as a salt government and patrol envoy in Sichuan. After Li Shijie was promoted from the magistrate of the county to the governor of Taizhou, he was diligent in government and agriculture, and worked tirelessly for more than 400 cases of his predecessor's legacy, refusing all banquets, plays, and **** directors, only more than 4 months, the old case was completed, and the new case was not backlogged. During the five years of his tenure as the governor of Taizhou, agriculture and commerce flourished, and the people were happy to work, and the people were called "Li Qingtian". When Qianlong was promoted to the prefect of Zhenjiang in the 27th year, Tong Suo greeted him. During Qianlong's southern tour, Li Shijie personally handled all the needs of the car, and did not affect the people. In the thirtieth year of Qianlong, Shijie was promoted to Taiguang Road, Ningchi, Anhui Province, and in the thirty-sixth year, he was promoted to the Sichuan Patrol Envoy, and in the winter of the year, the Qing court suppressed the uprising of the ethnic minorities in Jinchuan, Sichuan, and Li Shijie was stationed in the Jianlu (now Kangding, Sichuan) General Office South Road Quartermaster. During the period of patrolling Henan from 46 to 47 years, because the Yellow River burst its embankment for hundreds of zhang, Qianlong ordered the shortage to be plugged and diverted, and Li Shijie moved to the disaster area to save the victims, investigate the traitors, store materials, and dredge the canals. Li Shijie successively served as the governor of Sichuan and Guizhou, dealing with mutations, being witty and decisive, both civil and military, and was known as "a strange man in Guizhou".
After the change of the imperial court, Sichuan needed capable people to suppress it, and Jiaqing naturally didn't know anyone, even if Qianlong praised Li Shijie back then, he didn't know much. Yuan Shoutong and other palace scholars discussed who could be qualified for the post of governor of Sichuan, and the Tang people referred to by Yuan Zong recommended Li Shijie. Originally, Li Shijie was going to Guangxi to take over as the governor of Guangxi, but the war between Heaven and Earth would be fought together, and the affairs of the two Guangxi would be handled by Guilin, so there was no need to waste Li Shijie's ability here for the time being.
The key point is that after the Jingshi Incident, Li Shijie arrived in Beijing, and when everyone was hiding from the Tang Dynasty, Bu Yi visited the Yuan general of the Tang Dynasty, who was obviously a person who knew the current affairs very well. For such an amiable person, Bai Nan is obviously not stingy in arranging a good future.
Yuan Shoutong and others suggested it, and Li Shijie's qualifications were indeed no problem, Yunwen Yunwu, and appointed Li Shijie as the governor of Sichuan. After Li Shijie went to Sichuan, he first stabilized the Sichuan Green Camp with the Holy Decree, and then led the Green Camp into the city. Jiaqing added the rank of lieutenant general, with Mingliang as the commander-in-chief of the Southwest Military Region, but before that, Mingliang needed to enter Beijing to thank him, and led the children of the original Eight Banners of 5,000 households in Chengdu to live in the capital.
Sichuan is peaceful, while Yunnan and Guizhou are safe.
However, not all places are so harmonious. The Liangjiang region and Fujian and Zhejiang are another situation, a group of officials such as Sazai are in a wait-and-see state, they recognize the new regime, but they retain a certain degree of independence, such as Jiaqing added the title of Sazai, and ordered him to enter Beijing directly into the cabinet, but Sazai has many obstacles, still staying in the position of governor, Jiaqing implemented a series of reforms, in the Liangjiang region has not changed anything. Sanbao, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, who is also the Ilgen Jueluo clan with Sazai, is afraid that he is in collusion with Sazai, and he also recognizes the imperial court and does not make changes.
The governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, Leer, received the title given by Jiaqingbai, but he only gave a not very decent recognition, his excuse was that there were chaos and disasters in Shaanxi and Gansu, and he couldn't move lightly, so he asked Jiaqing to forgive me or something.
A series of military and political figures, such as General Ili and General Uriya Sutai in the border areas, the Minister of Xining and the Minister of Kobudo, are like Sazai and Leerjin, and they do not move on the sidelines, but they do not have much room to turn around, such as Xinjiang and other places, although the strength of the Zhun Department and the Hui Department has been weakened a lot after experiencing the large and small Jinchuan, but if someone miscalculates and thinks that the Qing government is weak, then the Qing army in Ili, Dihua and other places will not be able to support it for long. The same is true for the ministers of the outer Mongolian domain, they have the right to fight, but the local princes and nobles are stronger, and without the support of the imperial court, they will eventually have to finish the game. So after all, these people will react and accept the redeployment of the imperial court.
It's not without cleverness, Fu Qing'an, the minister of Kulun's affairs, belongs to the stationed ministers who have completely defected to the new imperial court. In addition, the minister in Tibet, Suo Lin, died in office, and the imperial court also sent a Han official to serve as the minister in Tibet for the first time.
To sum up, the situation of the new imperial court in Jiaqing is really not too bad. This is due to the fact that the Qing Dynasty was the peak of the concentration of feudal imperial power in ancient China, and power was severely limited by imperial power in both the imperial court and the locality, so when Jiaqing came to power, he had a relatively large margin to adjust his policies and coordinate local relations.
Although the provinces south of the Yangtze River, Shaanxi and Gansu, and a few frontiers were inseparable from the imperial court, they were not completely independent of the imperial court. Although it cannot be ruled out that the Mongol princes, quasi-tribes, Hui tribes, and lamas may take the opportunity to oppose the imperial court and create trouble on the frontier, for the time being, no one has such strength. Tibet is relatively stable all year round, with a high degree of autonomy, and the Tusi and lamas control Tibet has not changed, although the emperor has changed, but there is no difference for them. Xinjiang said that a vicious battle has just been fought, and the quasi-ministry and the hui department have not yet recovered their vitality. The Khalkha Mongols have followed the Manchus for so many years, and the blood has been castrated by Lamaism, after the Kangxi Duolun Alliance, the Inner and Outer Mongolian Banner League has always been a good dog leg for the Manchus, and the probability of them rebelling is even lower.
It can be said that the Tang people launched the Cuckoo Plan to support the Jiaqing Imperial Court, which was a very coincidental time. In the past few decades, there were Huibu Zhunbu, Qinghai and Shuote Mongols who rebelled endlessly; In the following decades, the British and Russians infiltrated the forces, Zhang Ge wanted to make trouble in the Western Regions, and even in the northeast Nebuchu area, British India would also collude with the lamas. At this time, it is a time when no one in the frontier can be chaotic, and some people may have the heart to mess up, but they are powerless.
That is to say, now as long as Jiaqing makes a move, catches the Tang Army, destroys the brain-dead Bird Cathay, destroys the chaotic Mixed Yuan Sect in Shanxi and Henan, and then destroys the Heaven and Earth Association in Guangdong, it will basically be able to restore peace. The above three enemies are all opponents with low difficulty coefficients.
After doing the above analysis, Mr. Yuan also had to sigh that Jiaqing's luck was really good. If the war is quickly quelled, Jiaqing may be able to gain a certain amount of prestige. However, it is also beneficial for Datang to quickly deal with these rebels.
The Guangdong Theater will be dominated by the Tang Army, and Xue Yue has already formed the Third Mixed Brigade with the Snow Leopard Regiment and others who set off from Dagu, and the Hu Fakui Division, which is heading north on civilian transport ships, is also ready to wait for Xue Yue to break through Hong Kong and Xin'an with a regular army, and then cooperate with the Borneo Army in the battle.
I have to say that the luck of Yang Zhen and others is both good and bad. The good thing is that since they started to gain momentum, the development has been extremely rapid, the eastern and northern Guangdong areas have been controlled by the Tiandihui armed forces, and some areas of Fujian have also been occupied by them, and Lin Shuangwen, the incense master of the Tiandihui, has also started an incident in Taiwan, and has controlled Changhua and Miaoli.
However, the siege of Guangzhou, which had been stretched for several months, was still at a disadvantage, and Guilin and Yongwei firmly controlled the city of Guangzhou and never conquered it. (To be continued.) )
