Chapter 4 I am a flag man and I am proud

It is true that the old lady of the Jia family has made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty, otherwise the Jia family would not have been blessed to carry the flag, and from a low-level Han person to a banner man who honors his ancestors.

In these years, what is the nature of the Han people changing flags?

The ancestral grave is smoking!

The forehead is up to the sky, and the nostrils are facing the sky!

It's just that Jia Daquan said that he and his grandfather Jia Zuwang shed blood for Daqing, and Jia Liu said that this matter is up for discussion.

Because Jia Zuwang traveled to the west before Jia Liu was born, Jia Liu listened to Jia Daquan about all his deeds.

Among them, what is often mentioned repeatedly by Jia Daquan is Jia Zuwang's heroic deeds in the battle with Tongbo.

The battle of Hetongbo occurred in the ninth year of Yongzheng, and the Qing court decided to send the northern and western armies to block the Junggar army, and the commander of the northern route army was the famous Jingbian general Fu Erdan. As soon as the holy decree was issued, 8,000 soldiers from the Eight Banners of the Beijing Division were transferred to the command of Fu Erdan.

At that time, 2,000 Han military banners were dispatched, including Jia Zuwang, who inherited his father Jia Han and reinstated the hereditary cloud cavalry captain. Also because of this cloud knight captain, Jia Zuwang also served as the deputy chief of staff of the fourth grade.

As a result, the Qing army was defeated in this battle, and many Manchurian generals committed suicide because they could not break through, and the Beijing Eight Banners and the same chariot cavalry battalion suffered heavy losses. Under the desperate protection of some generals' guards, Fu Erdan was lucky enough to break through and pick up a life.

According to Jia Daquan, in order to protect the general Fu Erdan, Jia Zuwang broke out of the encirclement, and led dozens of Han warriors to fight to the death against dozens of Dzungar people who were dozens of times his size, and finally all his subordinates were killed in battle, and he himself was seriously injured and unconscious.

After the Dzungars retreated, the Fengtian Eight Banners soldiers who rushed to find Jia Zuwang who still had a breath in the pile of dead people, and only after all-out treatment did not die for the country. After returning to Beijing, the general Fu Erdan also came to visit Jia Zuwang, and the entire Xiliu Hutong was very sensational.

This is what Jia Daquan said.

Jia Liu had always been convinced of this until more than two years ago at a gathering of the Han army's banner disciples, he heard another version.

It is true that Jia Zuwang participated in the battle of Hetongbo, but the battlefield performance was completely different from what he told his son.

At that time, the Dzungars mobilized heavy troops to attack Fu Erdan's Chinese army camp, in addition to Fu Erdan personally led the Qing army to counterattack, there were also the Horqin soldiers of Shu Hongxu, and the Tumer soldiers of Shu Baixu were also fighting bloody battles with the Dzungar people.

However, when both sides of the Qing army were fighting bloodily, someone in the Qing army suddenly panicked and shouted that the Tumuts had been defeated, which caused chaos in the Qing army's position, and the Dzungars seized the opportunity to break through the Qing army camp in one fell swoop.

In this battle, the North Route Army led by Fu Erdan had 8,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Beijing Division, 9,000 soldiers of the Che Cavalry Battalion, more than 8,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners in Fengtian and other places, and more than 30,000 people together with the soldiers and civilians, but only 2,000 people remained after the war, which can be called the biggest defeat in the Yongzheng period.

After the war, Fu Erdan pleaded guilty on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was also investigating who caused the defeat of the army by shouting in the battle, and vowed to break this man into pieces.

It's just that there were too many casualties in the Qing army, and it was so chaotic at the time, who knows who shouted it? The matter could not be thoroughly investigated, and in the end, it could only be assumed that the guy who shouted nonsense died in Hetongbo.

Until the twenty-third year of Qianlong, that is, the year of Jia Zuwang's death, Ma Qingxiang, who had participated in the Northern Route Army with Jia Zuwang and was also a distant relative of the Jia family, told people after a drink that the one who was shouting in Hetongbo and causing the army to rout was Jia Zuwang, who had just met the king of Hades.

Why did Jia Zuwang do this?

I really didn't mean it, but I was frightened by the offensive of the Dzungars at that time, and I don't know if I didn't make the decision or if I really saw the Tumert Bai Xuan falling, so I just screamed casually.

When he came back to his senses, Jia Zuwang realized that something was wrong, he was so frightened that he couldn't even walk, and in the end it was Ma Qingxiang who pulled him to escape with the rout.

said that he had a nose and eyes, and also said that Jia Zuwang transferred his 60 acres of fertile land to the Ma family in order to block Ma Qingxiang's mouth.

With a short hand, and he is also a relative, Ma Qingxiang did not report Jia Zuwang to the Dutong Yamen. After so many years, he has been tight-lipped until Jia Zuwang died.

Not many people know about this matter, and Ma Qingxiang's grandson Ma Wenwu is one of them.

So when Jia Liu bragged to others about how brave his grandfather was back then, Ma Wenwu "poofed" and said another version of what he heard in public.

For this reason, Jia Liu, who never believed that his grandfather was so unbearable, also had a fight with Ma Wenwu.

Now Jia Liu thinks that what Ma Wenwu said may be the truth, if Jia Zuwang is really as Jia Daquan said, how can he not be promoted after being rescued, but even the deputy staff leader is taken away, and he has never gone on an expedition since?

Now that the parties have gone to see Lord Yama, and forty years have passed since the Battle of Hetongbo, any doubts have become no longer in question under the wash of time.

Jia Liu had no intention of finding out whether Jia Zuwang's heroic deeds were adulterated, but he was very sure that Jia Daquan had never shed blood for Daqing, not even a drop.

Because Daquan fell off his horse and broke his leg on the way back with Zhaohui in the twenty-fourth year of Qianlong, he didn't go to Xinjiang at all.

Can this be regarded as the blood of the Great Qing Dynasty?

Tears are almost!

But regardless of whether the second and third generations of the Jia family have shed blood and tears for the Qing Dynasty, based on the performance of the old lady Jia Hanfu, there is no reason for the Qing court to throw out the flag after the heroes.

Jia Liu, who fell into the birdcage by mistake, was a little flustered and couldn't accept the "bad news" brought by his father.

Without it, the identity of the flag man is too important!

This identity is directly related to whether Jia Liu can enter the core of the Qing Dynasty's political arena!

Especially in the Qianlong Dynasty, this lord was very wary of the Han people, and he was also very thief, so the important official positions of the Qianlong Dynasty were all Manchuria and Mongolia.

The most typical evidence is the statue of the hero that Qianlong made in the Ziguang Pavilion, there are a total of 250 people before and after, the question is which one is the Han Chinese?

Therefore, the Jia family is really going to become a Han Chinese, and for Jia Liu, I am afraid that his career will die before it starts, and it will be a big discount if he does not die young.

Will this work?

On that dark and windy night, after dripping his own small half column of incense with candle oil, Jia Liu clearly pointed out a direction for his future - to be an official, to be the biggest official!

If he wants to be an official, the current situation of the Jia family will definitely not provide much help to Jia Liu, so he wants to make a fuss about Qianlong's mother's 80th birthday, and finally the big drama "Three Halls Judge Galileo" was freshly released.

However, the project has not yet started, the dream has not yet been put on wings, and the origin of the root is not guaranteed, where can Jia Liu endure it!

Not to mention anything else, the word banner man has half a future than the Han people.

Therefore, with a half-believing attitude, Jia Liu and his father Daquan came to the Han Army's Zhenglan Banner Dutong Yamen in Dongchang Hutong.
