Chapter 53: Wang Mang's Modesty and Modesty (1)
At the beginning of the first month of the fifth year of Qianlong, the days of the Qing Dynasty were really bad. It's not that the chaos at the bottom has caused the peasant rebels to rise in all directions, creating a situation that the Great Qing Kingdom will end sooner or later, but that the civil unrest below is endless, and the green camp is too incompetent.
When the people in the four provinces were in turmoil, the local officials naturally had to transfer troops to suppress them, but as a result, none of the soldiers and horses in the four towns succeeded. Thousands of soldiers and horses or even tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were overwhelmed by thousands of people. The green battalion in the south was the most corrupt, Anhui was kicked to death by a general soldier, and on the Jiangsu side, the general led the general army and the leading general who entered the army to suppress the soldiers and horses was killed by the peasant army who had been drugged, and none of them could escape.
The north side was not strong, and Shandong suffered a small defeat, and retreated—in fact, it was to herd sheep—thirty miles, but the soldiers gathered up again. The Henan newspaper said that there was a small victory -- our army annihilated the enemy, inflicted heavy losses on the enemy, and smoothly advanced, which at first glance was the handiwork of some people.
It is said that the Qing Dynasty is strong, and although there are small setbacks in the suppression of bandits, it is okay, and the soldiers and horses will be rectified again. But it takes time to come and go. Unexpectedly, in early February, when the officers and soldiers entered the raid again, a fire broke out in the backyard.
-- Civil unrest broke out in four more counties.
Throughout the five years of Qianlong, this civil unrest has not stopped. Pressing the gourd to float the scoop, the Central Plains Green Battalion turned into a firefighting team and went around. It is said that there are only a thousand chaotic people in this county, and it is unspeakably miserable to toss the green camp with tens of thousands of people dispatched at every turn.
Fortunately, although the green battalion at this time is decaying, it still has some combat effectiveness. Not all troops can be set on the green battalion standard of 'those who flee when they see thieves are brave, those who flee while looking at the wind are brave, and those who flee by mishearing are brave'. Therefore, the green camp is not a defeat, and it gradually comes out of the back, but unfortunately the thieves are too cunning and always do it in the weak places of the green camp.
Fortunately, there were only more than 1,000 people in the uprising at one time, and there were no more riots since February of the sixth year of Qianlong. Therefore, in August of the sixth year of Qianlong, this civil rebellion in 52 places in seven provinces was finally put down. Before and after the Qing Dynasty, I mobilized 450,000 soldiers and horses in the Green Battalion, burned more than 20 million taels of silver in military salaries, and more than 200 civil and military officers of the third grade or above were killed, martyred, seized, and given to the dead......
The battle was over, but the treasury was empty. Don't forget that there are still battles in Xining and Huguang -- these are all battles that have to be fought even if you grit your teeth and tire your belts, otherwise it will be a situation of losing your city and losing thousands of miles. In addition, the garden had to be repaired, and the flag salary had to be spent, and the adults of the Military Aircraft Department had no choice but to buckle this and that, eat the grain, scrape together, and try to cut the expenses while donating to the officials, and forced the household department to clean the silver from the treasury, and finally dealt with it. Then the reward that should be rewarded, the punishment that should be punished, this vigorous uprising tide is finally dealt with......
――――――――――
When Jiangnan was still a thousand miles away and thousands of trees and onions, Saibei was already sparse and sparse, and the golden wind and cold air were pressing. Qianlong passed the birthday of Guanyin on June 19, and he was fortunate to come to Fengtian, and it was August and autumn in Chengde.
-- The fight below is very strong, and this ancestral law cannot be changed, let alone deduct money from it.
Several military planes went to Fengtian with him, and the prince was ordered to visit Zhang Tingyu, who was seriously ill after returning to his hometown, and Qianlong arrived at the summer resort with his entourage on the fourth day of his arrival in Chengde.
On this day, Qianlong Fa drove out on patrol. General Fengtian has arrived in advance, and the general of the Gubeikou battalion, the governor of Rehe, the green battalion of the Karaqin Left Banner, as well as the kings of Eastern Mongolia and the officials appointed by the yamen of the Beijing Division, together with the Ministry of Rites, led by Prince Zhuang Yunlu.
Chenshi Zhengpai, royal drive back to the city. According to the Qing Emperor's Lu Book, there are four kinds of big driving, law driving, Luan driving and riding, the suburbs worship ancestors use the method of driving, the court will use the method of driving, Luan driving is used for festivals, riding is just ordinary daily use. The great driver respects the heavens and respects the ancestors, so the most solemn and thoughtful, the law is only slightly inferior, and the cultural relics are declared to show the "holy virtue". Therefore, go to Fengtian to use the big driver, go to Chengde to meet the Mongolian kings, count as "court meeting", and use the law to drive.
At the second moment of Chenpai, the stone outside the Dehua Gate broke the earth like a cannon sounded nine times, and suddenly the drum music was great, and sixty-four drum music was dedicated by the Changyin Pavilion for dedication, and their melodious and deep singing voices were heard:
Qing Dynasty, Jing Yunlong. Zhaoxing Oduo, Dying Dadong. magpie fruit, the first of the gods; Yirong clothes, dragon from the clouds. Thunder plays skin skills, lifts pine mountain, pulls apricot mountain, such as rolling autumn peng. The sky is open and white clouds are long, and the ground is frozen in the river. Mixed car book, mountains and rivers are unified. The sound of the spirit sent all the nations to pay tribute...... Life is abundant, the wind is moving, and the lotus is the favor of the sky. Qingchen tour, six dragons drive early, a red cloud Feng. Hu Chenyou, the six teachers are lucky, and the singing of thousands of miles is ......
In the singing, Zhong Pan is clear, really deaf and deaf, and cleansed his heart. With the music, eight pairs of elephants in the Dehua Gate knelt down in turn carrying the incense Ding treasure bottle, and saw sixty-four leading eunuchs slowly entering with dust in their hands. The civil and military officials in the Dehua Gate and the crowd of black crows and crows on the street immediately fell silent.
The team is led by Cuihua Zizhi, with a total of 54 covers, including nine dragon crank covers, straight handle covers, and green, red, white and yellow five-color flower covers. Then there are seventy-two treasure fans, four pairs of longevity fans, eight pairs of double dragon fans, and there are also single dragons, peacock pheasant tails, and painted phoenixes.
In the past, the treasure fan was an eight-sided flowery building, divided into four types: longevity, purple clouds, neon xia, and feather treasures. Treasure-colored tassels, fluttering in the tassels, dizzying. In a trance, the eunuch poured into the city gate with a letter flag, but with the dragon head rod as a guide, two pairs of leopard tail guns followed, and the yellow card on one side was written on the teaching filial piety festival, Ming punishment and teaching, Xingqing and benevolence, praise and merit, Zhenwu, perfunctory, acceptance, and goodness...... Then there came another festival, but it was six pairs, and twelve eunuchs were clinging to the golden festival and the Yibo......
Then the Eight Banners cart entered the city, the flagpole had the thickness of a huge bowl, and the pillars stood on the cart, each pushed by eight fierce wrestlers. The striker scored sixteen strokes, followed by forty strokes, and the flag hunted in the whirring west wind. Trailing with eighty flags, embroidered with Yifeng, Xiangluan, cranes, peacocks, yellow birds, white pheasants, red blacks, Chinese insects, Zhenlu, singing kites, as well as scales, colorful lions, Bai Ze, Jiaorui, red bears, yellow bears, evil spirits, rhinoceros, heavenly horses, heavenly deer and other auspicious birds and beasts, one color of gold tassels dancing with the wind, indescribable luxury and honor.
In the past, these many tricks were just a guard of honor guide. Changyin Pavilion for the ladies to join the ranks at this time, the music car on the rhythm of the rhythm, Gu wash, chime, Da Lu, Tai Tuan, cane bell, no shot, clear and agitated, mixed with harmony Xiao Guan Sheng, it is really a dry thunder ear meat bamboo noisy. There are still four gods, four profanities, five mountain flags, five stars and twenty-eight flags, Ganyu, eight winds, five clouds, five dragons, golden drums, sun and moon flags bustling by.
After these things, it is a serious royal battle, eight door flags in front, two Cuihua flags to sell gold five-color small flags followed, four people carry two police into the tarsal flag, then six people with sticks, one hundred and twenty people holding Jin Wu led by the guard Su Lun, followed by another one hundred and twenty people, holding gold milling, lying melon, standing melon, red stirrup, copper horn, gold cymbal, gold furnace, incense box, bath basin, spitting ...... The eunuchs who held the deacons were all happy and walked by solemnly.
He the prince hid upstairs, and saw the emperor's law driving and riding the public opinion, carried by thirty-six eunuchs, one hundred and eighty guards before and after the public opinion, all dressed in the color of the five-grade military attache uniform, wearing a peacock feather on the head of Cui Sensen, tightly hugging the golden dragon Chengyu and the queen's phoenix car, and a string of small sedan chairs behind, all of which were sealed with car doors and curtain screens. Don't ask, it's the concubines' palanquin.
Prince Zhuang Yunlu rode a yellow horse and held a yellow knot lock, obviously the chief manager of this law driving team. Behind are several military ministers in yellow jackets. Yunlu whispered something on the horse, and the eunuch bowed to the curtain again, and the two eunuchs carefully rolled up the yellow curtain. In the middle, there is a person sitting on the Sumeru seat. The eyes are like paint, the face is like a crown of jade, the corners of the mouth are smiling, the head is wearing a yellow velvet Dongzhu crown, the Nine Dragons shawl is gently covered on the golden dragon coat, the snow-white lining of the horseshoe sleeves is turned over, and the hands are gently supporting the knees and sitting upright, this is the Qianlong Emperor.
At this moment, the ministers and the people all came together and shouted like a tsunami: "Long live my emperor, long live it!" ”
In the middle of the mountain, a person in a military attache robe behind the prince suddenly said, "The husband should be like this!" Immediately after that, three or four people answered at the same time, "He can take his place......
Clearly, the origin of these people is very clear. During this period of time, the reincarnators who came one after another, who had been trained in the war, were put to the Immortal Sect to train soldiers. If the evaluation is not high, he will be directly pulled to the Manchu side as an official.
A group of people looked at Qianlong, who was obviously intoxicated, from a hidden corner, and they all sneered.
For Zhao Kun, it is not difficult to kill an emperor - but assassination is not as happy as a mutiny. Otherwise, how can the flag man kill the flag man?
……
Twice exempted the world with money and grain, and gave relief to the victims in the disaster areas in various places, the imperial court spent more than 10 million silver, and spent more than 20 million yuan to quell the civil unrest. The treasury of the household department is about to run away with mice, the officials are scraping the ground, and the land below is seriously annexed...... But for Qianlong, feeling such fanatical praise firsthand, he had reason to believe that his reputation among the people had surpassed that of the first emperor. In the past few years, the world has matured, and the people are rich and credible.
He sat on the exquisitely carved Golden Nine Dragons Sumeru Seat, looking down at them with a kind expression, and suddenly thought of his mission and responsibility, and thought that he could still give these beings a lot of things, and that he could leave prosperity and wealth in the world, and he felt that he was extremely noble. This supreme power and wealth were bestowed upon him by Heaven and his ancestors, and then passed on to his descendants...... In the midst of the noise of "Ten Thousand Years of the Great Qing Kingdom", his heart was excited, his face became flushed, and he got up again and again, stretching out his hands to the people to salute.
It wasn't until outside the main gate of the summer resort that he woke up from his endless reverie, because he saw that all the kings of Eastern Mongolia were kneeling beside the stone lion outside Xiamen, so he ordered: "The princes of Inner and Outer Mongolia are here, descend to the public, and I will take a few steps to evacuate." Yunlu hurriedly passed the decree. More than a dozen military aircraft departments Zhang Jing and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu You Mingtang were all tired and sweating profusely.
