Chapter 52: Captain, Do You Want to Be an Official?

Jia Liu was confused.

The historical education he received in his previous life told him that in addition to suppressing the Lin Shuangwen uprising in Taiwan, the Qianlong Dynasty's "Ten Perfection Martial Arts" such as the Liangping Dzungaria, the Pingxiao and Zhuo Rebellions, the Qing-Burma War, the Battle of Annam, the Liangping Gurkhas, and the ongoing Pingxiao Jinchuan War were all effective measures taken by the Manchu Dynasty to safeguard national unity and territorial integrity.

Therefore, even if there was much dissatisfaction with the Manchu Dynasty, Jia Liu would not fall into the black-and-white misconception and did not recognize the positive role played by the Manchu Dynasty in safeguarding China's territorial integrity.

So even if he was forced to come to Jinchuan, he knew that it was very dangerous here, and Jia Liu never had any idea of "joining the enemy".

This is a matter of principle and right of wrong.

In addition to wanting to hide behind to save his life, he did not want the Qing army to end the Jinchuan War as soon as possible.

However, it was precisely because of his previous cognition that Jia Liu always thought that the rebels in Jinchuan were plateau soldiers, and the leader was also a Tusi from Gaoxue.

Suddenly, the enemy he thought of had become Han people who opposed the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty, and became the remnants of the Ming Dynasty, which had been extinct for more than a hundred years, Jia Liu certainly felt incredible.

It feels like the worldview that I built up as a child has suddenly collapsed.

He must find out the truth about the Jinchuan rebellion.

Why this truth is so different from the official propaganda.

Who are those "thieves" who claim to be the people of the Ming Dynasty!

Who can he ask?

Since I "picked up" at the city gate, this little Chunzi who followed the horse gang all over Sichuan and even the southwest.

"Isn't Jia Ye a person in the army, why don't you know the situation over there?"

Yang Yuchun is also very curious, it stands to reason that the military master must know more than them at the bottom.

Jia Liu couldn't say that he was cheated by that bullshit "three first-class tests" to Jinchuan, so he used to be in Beijing before, and this was the first time he came to Jinchuan.

"Tell me everything you know, and don't hide anything."

"This..."

Yang Yuchun really went to Jinchuan with the Ma Gang, but he went quietly, because if he asked the government to know, he would be killed.

Jia Liu knew what this little guy was hesitating about, it was nothing more than the nature of the Ma Gang's private trip to Jinchuan was equivalent to "collaborating with the enemy", so the little guy was afraid that if he told him, the Eight Banners Military Master, it would harm the Ma Gang.

"I just want to know the specific situation in Jinchuan, and I don't care about other things."

Jia Liuming.

After Yang Yuchun hesitated, he finally said in a low voice: "Jia Ye, the rebels in Jinchuan are fierce. There are Miao people, there are Yao people, there are plateau people... Well, there are also some fake Han people who claim to be Han Chinese, that is, the gang of people who were beheaded just now. ”

"What do you mean by a fake man?"

Jia Liu was more curious about this statement.

"Because although these people say that they are Han Chinese, they are completely different from us, you see,"

Yang Yuchun pulled the braids down, "We have braids, they don't have braids, and they wear different clothes from us, they don't look like us Han people at all, so we all call them fake Han people." ”

Yang Zhi interjected and asked, "Is it similar to what you wear on the stage?" ”

Yang Yuchun let out a "hmm" and nodded.

Is it really a remnant of the Ming Dynasty?

Jia Liu remembered that he had read the memoirs of a marshal in his previous life, saying that when the Eighth Route Army opened up the Taihang Mountain base during the Anti-Japanese War, it found a group of ordinary people dressed in ancient clothes in the mountains. If asked again, these people are the descendants of the Ming Dynasty soldiers and civilians who are unwilling to accept the rule of the Qing Dynasty, and have lived in the hinterland of Taihang Mountain for more than 300 years.

Taihang Mountain is located in North China under the nose of the Qing court, there are still Ming Dynasty relics living in this vow not to obey the Qing Dynasty, so it is not impossible for the Ming Dynasty remnants to appear in the southwest mountains.

Thinking of this, Jia Liuyue figured it out, and asked again: "Yuchun, do you know how those fake Han people got involved with the rebels?" ”

"I heard the people in the horse gang say that those fake Han people have been living in the Miao Cave of Yao Mountain, which no one can find, and after a long time, they have become a group of people with the Yao people and Miao people in the mountains, they not only teach the Yao people and Miao people to farm and weave cloth, teach them to speak the words of our Han people, read the books of our Han people, write the words of our Han people, and also teach them to build weapons."

Speaking of this, Yang Yuchun remembered something, "By the way, the firearms used by those thieves in Jinchuan were made for them by these fake Han people, and the stone bunkers built everywhere on the mountain were also made by these fake Han people for the thieves." For this reason, many officers and soldiers died in the Qing Dynasty. ”

Yang Zhi couldn't help but be angry when he heard this: "These dog traitors can't die well!" ”

Jia Liu was a little stunned, what does this traitor mean?

His old Jia family should be traitors in the eyes of ordinary Han people, and even Qianlong, the Manchurian emperor, sees it this way.

Those soldiers and civilians of the Ming Dynasty who were committed to opposing the Qing Dynasty were also dog traitors?

What do you mean by that?

However, this argument holds water.

Because, in the eyes of the Han people who had accepted the rule of the Manchus, those soldiers and civilians of the Ming Dynasty were really traitors.

"Fake Han people" is probably the most appropriate view of the local Han people in Sichuan on the military and civilians of the Ming Dynasty.

So, who is the Han in the end?

Jia Liu's chest suddenly became a little dull.

The question is indeed a heavy one.

"Huh?"

Yang Yuchun seemed to think of something again, but he didn't know if he could say it.

"In the future, in front of me, you can say whatever comes to mind, otherwise how can I trust you? If there is no trust between us, why should we come together? ”

Jia Liu smiled and glanced at the table next to him, who were toasting around Floranti and didn't pay attention to it.

"Oh, I see."

Yang Yuchun said an old thing he had heard his grandfather mention.

It happened twenty-five years ago, when the imperial court was also sending troops to attack Jinchuan, and the commander of the army was Zhang Guangsi, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi.

"I heard my grandfather say that many of the fake Han people in Jinchuan have infiltrated the ranks of the official army, and their leader has also won the trust of the governor, as if he is called Wang... That's right, it's called Wang Qiu..."

Yang Yuchun said that this Wang Qiu was very trusted by Zhang Guangsi, so he secretly told the Jinchuan side all the information about the offensive deployment of the official army, so that the official army's attack on Jinchuan not only could not succeed, but was also defeated by Jinchuan's army, and suffered heavy losses.

"Later, this surnamed Wang was betrayed by the plateau people on the other side of Jinchuan, and the court knew that there was such a big spy hidden by the governor's side... The one surnamed Wang listened to my grandfather and seemed to have been killed, and the governor surnamed Zhang was also killed in the end. ”

It is definitely impossible for Yang Yuchun to know the specific situation, but through these "fragments" said by the little guy, Jia Liu roughly pieced together a "plot map".

After the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, many Ming Dynasty soldiers and civilians in Sichuan and Guizhou who did not want to be slaves of other races hid in the mountains, and gradually infiltrated the Tusi power in the Jinchuan area by intermarrying with the Miao and Yao people in the mountains, or by means of indoctrination.

After that, these descendants of the Ming Dynasty soldiers and civilians continued to plan anti-Qing uprisings through their influence on Tusi, generation after generation, and finally caused the protracted "Battle of Pingchuan" in the Qianlong Dynasty.

However, because the descendants of the Ming Dynasty military and civilians were never able to form a numerical dominance in this area of Jinchuan, and the scale of the war lasted too long, the strength of the Miao and Yao people who were originally close to them was too bad, so the surrounding plateau forces took the opportunity to enter Jinchuan.

Although the Ming Dynasty military and civilians also cooperated with these plateau people because of the common enemy, it was obvious that this cooperation was far less than the previous cooperation with the Miao and Yao people, so there were repeated incidents of plateau people defecting to the Qing court, resulting in the killing of the Ming Dynasty military and civilian leader, that is, the strategist Wang Qiu, who went undercover to the governor's side.

Initially, Jia Liu could only piece it together like this.

Now the composition and power of the Jinchuan army, what is the relationship between each other, what is the proportion of the Ming Dynasty's military and civilians, and what role does the plateau people play, because of the lack of first-hand information, he can not make any judgment.

In general, the situation on the Jinchuan side is a bit like the Qing army's several battles with Burma.

Because there are a large number of descendants of the Ming army who fled in the late Ming Dynasty in the Burmese army, most of them are descendants of the national hero Li Dingguobu.

Although it has been a hundred years, the clothes have not changed, and the ambition to resist the Qing Dynasty and restore the Central Plains has always been passed down from generation to generation.

Looking at this war from the perspective of the descendants of the Ming army who swore to resist the alien race, it was certainly just for them to help the Burmese army fight against the Qing army.

Looking at this war from the perspective of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, who had already substantially occupied China, the descendants of the Ming army, who were bent on expelling the Tartars and restoring China, seemed to have become national sinners again.

It's contradictory.

But it's real.

History is not a few strokes in the annals, but it is mixed with too many joys and sorrows, too many righteousness of the family and country, and too many tragedies of the times.

It's not black and white!

Jia Liu would not evaluate the compatriots who could not return to their hometowns, but he finally understood why Qianlong did not hesitate to pour out his national strength, did not hesitate to lose countless soldiers, did not hesitate to kill so many overseer ministers, and even refused to negotiate peace with the forces of the Jinchuan Plateau to level Jinchuan, the reason is that there is a terrible flame here - the flame of anti-Qing restoration of sight!

A spark can ignite the plain.

Qianlong probably understood this truth.

........

After eating, Jia Liu asked Yang Zhi to settle the bill, and then took Yang Yuchun downstairs and left, without saying a word to the group of Manmeng children.

After Yang Zhi settled the account, he asked his buddy for a bamboo box, and poured the unfinished meal into it.

Jia Liu couldn't help but be happy when he saw it, this guy finally knew how to be thrifty and knew how to pack.

I didn't think that Yang Zhi said that these were brought back for the dog's eggs.

Jia Liu glanced into the bamboo weaving, there were two or three rabbit heads that were fishy and meaty, and there were still two or three rabbit heads that had not been gnawed.

Pandas appear to be meat-eating.

Because of the fact that there were descendants of the Ming Dynasty soldiers and civilians in Jinchuan, Jia Liu had no intention of continuing to play Chongzhou City, and returned to the military camp outside the city early.

He is the foreman of the Han Army's Blue Banner, and he is also the first Buteha of the Eight Banners of the Han Army, and it is definitely no problem to recruit a groom for himself, because he can be regarded as a domestic slave brought by himself.

Over there, Yang Zhi pulled Yang Yuchun to see the flower dog bear he raised, Chang Bingzhong and Wang Fu didn't come back, and Jia Liu was so idle that he went to feed his white horse.

As the sun was about to set, the children of the Eight Banners who had entered the city returned to the camp one after another.

The quiet barracks suddenly became full of people, and everywhere gathered to play money.

Chang Bingzhong and the others also pulled a gang to gamble in the house, but Jia Liu didn't care, because it was time to recuperate, and the four team leaders were all happy, so why should he be that stinky person.

He also doesn't like gambling money, so he wants to tease the national treasure, but just out of the house, he was pulled to the wall by Liu Heyi, who had just come back.

"Captain, do you want a woman?"

Jia Liu, who didn't expect this to happen, was really stunned, and then shook his head firmly: "Don't!" ”

After saying that, raise your feet and go.

What kind of people are these, I look so girly?

Jia Liu's face was not angry.

Liu Heyi stepped forward with a smile and grabbed him again: "Captain, don't be in a hurry to leave, you don't want a woman, do you want that official?" ”
