Chapter 455: The Twin Emperors Mill Plate
Hengduan Mountain divides the heaven and earth into two sections from south to north, and at the extreme of the view, the snow-covered mountain peaks are dotted with snow, and the green grass in the vicinity reflects each other, and there is a sense that the world has reached the end of the world. In this emerald green grass, the sea is like a sapphire inlay, and the cattle and sheep are dotted in the grass, which is like the reflection of the sky on the mirror pool.
This natural tranquility was shattered by a crowd of soldiers, dressed in various colours, carrying knives and guns, driving cattle and carts, heading west. At the western end of the crowd, a large river cut off the way like the reflection of the Hengduan Mountain.
"This is not the Jinsha River, it is the Batang River, the Jinsha River is further west, and it has gone in a big circle, so the water potential is not so turbulent, and you can cross the river on that bridge. Yes, my lord, you can only cross two rivers. The Batang River meets the Jinsha River thirty miles to the south, but it is already a high mountain valley, and it is difficult for the army to pass. General, please rest in peace, the artisan battalion in front is building a bridge, and it is estimated that the river will be crossed tomorrow. ”
Yue Zhongqi, the acting governor of Sichuan, reported to the rebellious general Garbi, who snorted helplessly and irritably, indicating that he had heard.
Then Garbi waved his horsewhip and pointed to a sea of tents to the south: "Isn't that Batang?" Requisition all the Tibetans in that place, and let them make cattle and sheepskin bags! Step up and build bridges! ”
Yue Zhongqi's cheeks twisted, but he didn't speak, Garbi saw his expression, the whip fell weakly, and his tone was even more annoyed and unwilling: "Could it be that this Batang is also like Litang, and they all voted for Nanban!?" ”
Yue Zhongqi smiled bitterly: "It's not that I voted for Nanban, but I have the support of Nanban, and I no longer obey the control of my court." If it weren't for the appointment, we wouldn't have been able to take this road into Tibet. ”
Garbi took back his horsewhip and scolded: "Abominable Nanban, abominable Kham Tibetan, abominable ......"
Hearing the danger of this curse, Yue Zhongqi hurriedly interjected and changed the topic: "For the sake of the overall situation of Tibet, the emperor does not hesitate to stop fighting with the Southern Barbarians. ”
Garbi was still indignant: "It's okay to make a truce with the Nanban, why do you still allow the Nanban to enter Tibet with us!?" What the hell is the emperor thinking!? ”
Yue Zhongqi sighed: "Nanban, Tibet, Northwest, the emperor first ascended the throne, what happened next was a mess, the crisis was everywhere, and he had to be vain and maneuver......"
Saying this, Yue Zhongqi said in his heart that the emperor's real enemy at the moment is not the Dzungar who occupies Tibet, not the Nanban, but the Fuyuan general Yunyu who was sent to Xining, and Yunyu, who has been promoted to Prince Lian in the capital.
Looking at Garbi with a gloomy face, Yue Zhongqi shook his head slightly, you Garbi is neither the Fourteenth Party nor the Eighth Master Party, why are you worrying so much? Compared with you, his own boss, Sichuan Governor Nian Qianyao, is afraid that he is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and he thinks about how to please Jinshang all day long, and crosses out his name from the 14th Party.
It is precisely because of this that Nian Qianyao strongly advocated the use of troops against Celing Dunduobu, who occupied Tibet, to invite favor with meritorious deeds, and at the same time asked himself to assume the responsibility of transporting money and grain for the northwest army, which was also convenient for the emperor to use money and grain to hold Yunyu hostage when he made a move against Yunyu, so as to prevent him from raising troops and causing chaos.
Yue Zhongqi himself was promoted by Nian Qianyao's appreciation, even if his uncle Yue Chaolong voted for Nanban, he was not implicated, and now he has risen to the high position of the governor of the first province. Therefore, Nian Qianyao's worries are also his Yue Zhongqi's worries. Now that Nian Qianyao has won the action of entering Tibet with Sichuan soldiers, he Yue Zhongqi can only go to the soup to fight the fire and repay his life.
In addition to this enthusiasm, Yue Zhongqi also had a trace of helplessness in his heart, following the transfer from the northwest to preside over the battle of the Sichuan soldiers into Tibet, but he was different from Garbi, who did not know much about the situation in Sichuan, he knew the root of the whole thing.
When the emperor first ascended the throne, the people's hearts were uneven, and he needed a big victory to strengthen his prestige, and it was inevitable to allow Nian Qianyao's positive strategy. But at the same time, he also allowed Nian Qianyao to secretly join forces with Nanban, and there were too many mysteries in this matter.
On the side of the Batang River, Zhang Hanwan, dressed in Tibetan attire, said to another person: "Although this road into Tibet is far away from Chamudu, the terrain is flat, and there are two parts of Batang and Litang on the road, and it is not far to Yazhou Mansion and Chengdu Mansion. The army marched in, and the dispatch of materials was very convenient. If this road cannot be taken, only Ganzi in the north of Sichuan can enter Tibet again, where the terrain is steep and inaccessible, and there is no room for large armies to move forward. ”【1】
The man nodded and said: "Abandon the Sichuan road, there are only two roads in Qinghai and Yunnan, Yunnan is farther and more dangerous to enter Tibet, Qinghai into Tibet, the grain road is too long, so this road is the best choice." Zhang Hanwan said with a smile: "Nian Qianyao is very sensible, and he can see it very clearly, it is too difficult to make contributions to us, and it is more realistic to subdue Tibet." So even if this matter was to bury the suspicion of collaborating with the enemy, he had to do it, but ......" He looked at the man, and was still a little puzzled: "Why did Your Majesty agree so quickly?" Even want us to join forces with Nian Qianyao to send troops to Tibet? Luo Cat Demon, what are the mysteries, explain them to me clearly. ”
This person is none other than Luo Tangyuan, the military intelligence officer, and he smiled and said, "Fourth brother...... Don't stare at me, now that the courtiers are starting to call the officials, we don't have to be so taboo. Let's do this, Nian Qianyao is running errands to pass the word, and the one who really has a tacit understanding is our fourth brother and Emperor Yongzheng of Beijing City. ”
Zhang Hanwan's eyes widened: "You mean, Your Majesty...... Fourth brother, are you also interested in Tibet? At the end of last year, I tossed with the foreigners in Nanyang, although I didn't fight in the end, and signed an armistice contract with the Netherlands, but I always felt that it was very dangerous, and now the fourth brother is looking at Tibet again? ”
Luo Tangyuan nodded and shook his head: "Fourth brother is interested in Tibet, but it doesn't mean that he has to take it now, and it is also ...... if we want to follow the Qing soldiers into Tibet with the ghosts and mighty ."
Zhang Hanwan realized: "Take precautions, this is what the fourth brother is best at, no wonder you Luo Cat Demon want to run this trip in person." ”
Luo Tangyuan said to himself: "The affairs of Nanyang, the Military Intelligence Department wants to intervene, and the expenses of a large number of tooth-tongued people have to be hung on the Military Intelligence Department, it is too cost-effective, so let them take care of the Marine Affairs Department." His Majesty's plan to open the gates, our Military Intelligence Department has not fought for the head of the Heaven and Earth Society, so we can only be the next intelligence. Now that Fujian, Jiangxi, and Hunan have calmed down, the Military Intelligence Department has to do some work, otherwise it will not be able to keep the budget of 400,000 yuan. ”
Luo Mao Demon, Shang Bantou and Yu Heiyi, the three major intelligence leaders, competed for the budget in front of the fourth brother, and almost staged an all-martial arts, Zhang Hanwan had heard about this, and now when he heard Luo Mao Demon say it himself, he felt that he was still a simple soldier and worry-free.
Turning his gaze to the snow-capped mountains in the distance, Zhang Hanwan smiled and said, "It seems that in three or five years, this Tibetan land should also be ours." ”
Luo Tangyuan looked at the Batang River and smiled even brighter: "In three or five years, your daughter-in-law should also give birth to a Han-Tibetan boy." ”
A bridge was being built by the river, and a fair girl, although she was dressed in a hidden suit, was wearing a Yinghua-style cuirass, with two moon thunderbolts inserted in her waist, and a musket in her hand, arguing with a fourth-grade military attache of the Qing Kingdom who embroidered a tiger in a winter hat. Behind the two of them gathered a large group of subordinates, the two sides were staring at each other, gearing up, not knowing what they were fighting for, such a situation was not uncommon all the way.
Zhang Hanwan suddenly blushed: "What...... Where's my daughter-in-law!? She dares to marry, but I dare not marry! There are hundreds of slaves in her dowry, and if you really want to throw them at me, the Judge Advocate Advocate General's gang can't flay me alive? ”
Luo Tangyuan stared at him with disdain: "The Dawa Yangjin girl in Litang has publicly declared that she is your daughter-in-law, otherwise the head of Litang will throw you a thousand strong men!?" As long as you dare to marry, those heads and tails, won't the fourth brother reach out to help you cook? ”
Zhang Hanwan waved his horsewhip and rode his horse to the riverbank, leaving only one sentence: "I have to pass, she is a girl's family, and it is difficult to guarantee that she will suffer the loss of the dog." ”
The first year of Yinghua Shengdao, the first year of Yongzheng of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, in June. Nian Qianyao sent 7,000 Sichuan green battalions, 3,000 Chengdu banner battalions, and 3,000 Tibetan soldiers, a total of 13,000 troops, and marched into Tibet from the arrow furnace. In addition, 4,000 Tibetan soldiers from Batang, Litang and Muli accompanied the battle. And this Tibetan army, not only obeyed the command of Zhang Hanwan, the commander of the Yinghua Longxiang Army, but also 3,000 of them were the men and horses of the Longxiang Army headquarters, such a situation was a secret treaty between the British and Qing sides.
The person in charge of this agreement, Nian Qianyao, was wandering in the main hall of the Governor of Chengdu Mansion at the moment, looking quite anxious.
"Taiwan, the emperor is going to do it, if the heart of the Taiwan is not strong, hesitation, the previous efforts will be in vain, with today's heart, will definitely be attributed to the Yunyu party! If you make a mistake, you will lose the whole game. ”
Staff member Zuo Weisheng persuaded Nian Qianyao with bloodshot eyes.
Nian Qianyao said: "The emperor just asked me to go to the general to do the grain road, and now the matter of Tibet has not yet come to fruition, Lao Zuo, why did you decide that the emperor was going to give permission?" ”
Zuo Weisheng said: "Don't be confused about Taiwan, with the help of the soldiers of the Southern Barbarians, and the victory of the life and death of Taiwan, doesn't the emperor still believe that Tibet is gone?" It was because the army had just moved at this time, and there was no result, so he had to quickly pack up Yunyu, otherwise he really had to wait until the victory in Tibet, and the credit would go to him Yunyu at that time? Of course Nian Qianyao understands this truth, but he is an insider, and this goes means that he has to completely turn his face with Yunyu, and he has too many concerns, such as ...... I'm afraid that Yun Yu will shake out a bunch of things that he supported him before.
Zuo Weisheng continued: "Nersu has already set off for Xining, saying that he is helping Yunyu, but he is going to take over the position of general given by Yunyu!" I also expected that the edict to summon Yunyu back to Beijing to worship the mausoleum was already on the way! Nersu has the background of the Eight Masters Party, and the emperor will definitely not let him hold the position of general for a long time, maybe this position, the emperor just wants to keep it for you, and now ...... It's up to you to make your decision! ”
Nian Qianyao closed his eyes, he was still afraid: "You and I have colluded with Nanban Li Xian ...... with Yunyu."
Zuo Weisheng paused: "Oh, my platform!" Who wants to communicate with Nanban the most at this time!? Isn't that what Imagami is! ”
Nian Qianyao sat back in his chair and stroked his forehead and said, "I'm afraid that I will ...... in the future."
Zuo Weisheng said coldly: "There is no present, how can there be a future, if you win the present, let's talk about the future!" ”
Nian Qianyao finally nodded slowly, and then said with a wry smile: "The two of the north and the south are like a big millstone, we little people are sandwiched between them, and we can't extricate ourselves, even if the future is a bottomless abyss, we can only move forward with our eyes closed."
