Chapter 6 Onishi Money and Qing Dynasty Border Troubles
Mr. Zheng changed the topic, "Xun'er, today is the first lesson of your academy, what do you think after listening to the comments of your gentlemen and seniors?" His eyes stared deeply at the new student. The other students couldn't help but pay attention, looking at the young man who won the favor of Mr. with Miao.
"Mr. questioning, students are not young and shallow and ignorant, such as verbal fallacy, please give advice to gentlemen", Ye Xun walked quickly to the stage, stood beside Mr. slightly generously, bowed his hand, and bowed deeply.
"People in the world read books, some for literacy, some for business, some for officials, and some for the enhancement of knowledge, writing books and sayings to pass on to future generations, and so on, their aspirations are different, their talents are different, and there is a huge disparity between the world and the world. Students believe that the way of reading should be to be enlightened and ignorant, to know books and reason, to preach and solve doubts, and to govern the country with the self-cultivation of the sages. Ye Xun talked eloquently, which made the eyes of everyone present shine.
"Calligraphy, no one is envious of Su Huang, poetry and articles, the best ancient and modern, calligraphy is colorful, and everyone has become everyone; As for Cai Jing, Yan Song, Qin Hui and others, although calligraphy is at the top, but people are despised by latecomers, and what they do is misleading the country and harming the people, and is not conducive to the common people in the world. Therefore, when reading and studying literature, we have already learned the great world, and we still pity the grass and trees, and we should have great compassion and compassion, and we must be rational and self-cultivation; Although it is important to write well and write well, it is also important to be a good person, not to be a traitor and a thief, not to be a good person, not to be a good doctor." After Ye Xun finished speaking, he bowed to Mr. and walked off the podium.
"Papapa," the three of them high-fived and appreciated, and walked into the Six Arts Room, and Ban Tu, the first-class guard of the Qing Dynasty, and the inspector of the three provinces, walked in with Pan Yue, the prefect of Chongqing, and Shi Shiran, the imperial doctor.
"I am the Beijing teacher Bantu, I heard Mr. Nanshan early, literary and elegant, crowned in the southwest, today listen to your gentlemen's high opinions, I don't mean that the young children are also extraordinary, and the rumors of Mr. Da's name are true. Rude and bothering, please don't laugh. ”
Liu Yidao accompanied a group of high-ranking officials to appear rashly, and introduced the identities of the officials, everyone couldn't help but be surprised, but Mr. Zheng Yi was calm, with a spring breeze on his face, greeted the three of them, and bowed his hands to courtesy: "The students are rude, and the three adults are here, it is really a brilliant event, it is really an unprecedented event, and it is an honor." While ordering the class to get out of class, he invited the group to the inner courtyard for tea, and most of the students dispersed.
The group was greeted by Yuan Tiandi and Zheng Yi to sit down in the living room, and the servants presented a box of Tieguanyin for the New Year, and picked up a set of white porcelain tea sets as white as jade and bright as mirrors on the table.
Bantu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and bowed slightly: "I am fortunate to hear your high-level comments today, I also have two coins here, please advise", said, took out two golden coins, "jingle sound", and put them between Zheng Yi and Yuan Tiandi.
I saw that the two coins are round square holes, a brass coin has a household character on the back, and there are four characters on the front of Dashun Tongbao; The other golden light flashed, and when it fell, the golden sound was crisp, and the front was engraved with four italics of the West King's reward. Mr. Zheng and Yuan Tiandi looked at the two coins and couldn't help but be solemn.
"These two coins are counterfeit coins of the Onishi regime, and Dashun Tongbao is occasionally visible in the world; And the West King rewarded the merit is the Great Shun thief Zhang Xianzhong as a reward for military merit, it is rumored that this is a treasure in the eyes of Quanjia, who collects ancient money and rare money, and it is rare to see it! I don't know if the adults are coming, what advice do you have? Mr. Zheng put the two coins in his palm and looked at them for a long time and replied.
"This is a long story, the two are famous gentry in Sichuan, there is a rumor of Zhang Xianzhong's treasure in the West, and the two of them must have heard of it as a local celebrity." Bantu took a sip of tea and asked.
"Since the defeat of the Daxi regime in Sichuan, there have been rumors among the people: stone ox to stone drum, gold and silver ten thousand. Whoever knows it, bought all the Chengdu Mansion, everyone in Sichuan knows it, I heard that the imperial court has spent a lot of money, and Prince Hauge has sent tens of thousands of green battalion soldiers to search for the treasure of Daxi, but in the end nothing was found, and the treasure is just a rumor." Yuan Tiandi glanced at the three of Bantu and said loudly.
"Both, this rumor is true, let me tell you the origin of Onishi's treasure", Bantu put down the tea bowl and told a story.
It is said that Zhang Xianzhong is a person, the word Bingzhong, the name Jingxuan, the nickname Huanghu, a native of Dingbian County, Yan'an Prefecture, Shaanxi, and Li Zicheng is as famous. Zhang Xianzhong was born poor, smart and stubborn since he was a child, sold red dates with his father, made some small livelihoods, and was not enough to eat later, and later caught fast for Yan'an Mansion, and then entered Yansui Town to become a border soldier.
In the last year of the Great Tomorrow, the whole territory of Shaanxi has been plagued by famines, and there have been no droughts and locust plagues in the past thousand years, the heavens and the earth are cracked, the grains are not harvested, the people are starving all over the wilderness, and the people are not able to make a living. Chongzhen three years, Zhang Xianzhong in his hometown gathered eighteen village peasant riots, self-proclaimed eight kings, because he is long and thin and the face is slightly yellow, must be one foot six inches, strong and fruitful, called 'Yellow Tiger' in the army, because Zhang Xianzhong has read, received military training, is more resourceful, courageous and brave, in the righteous army generals to emerge, led by the people in the king for his own use as the leader of the 36 battalions stand out.
Zhang Xianzhong led the team of displaced people to fight in Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Anhui, Hubei, and Sichuan, and made many military exploits. His army grew from a few thousand to tens of thousands, becoming the most powerful force. It played a pivotal role in the battle against the Ming official army. He Ke Fengyang, burned the emperor's mausoleum, broke the county, and trapped Xiangyang. Later, he conquered Wuchang and proclaimed himself the king of Daxi.
Chongzhen invaded Sichuan in the seventeenth year, and Zhang Xianzhong established the Daxi regime in Chengdu, with the era name Dashun. And named four adopted sons as kings, Sun Kewang as the king of Pingdong, Liu Wenxiu as the king of Funan, Li Dingguo as the king of Anxi, and Ai Nengqi as the king of Dingbei.
Zhang Xianzhong this person, brutal and murderous, since the rebellion, that is, swore to kill the five beetles (ya, fu, hao, eunuch, and xue), where the city was broken, the first slaughter and robbery of the royal nobles and the official mansion, the treasury, the gentry and the scholars, the slightest wealth is to destroy the door and rob the property, loot the gold ingots, silver ingots, gold books, etc. to replenish military funds.
When he was defeated and retreated to Sichuan, he set up a holy imperial monument: there are all things and people in the sky, and there is nothing in the sky in people, and the ghosts and gods are clear, and they think about themselves. He issued a seven-kill order, killed hundreds of thousands of Sichuan people, plundered people's wealth, and accumulated hundreds of millions of treasures.
After Zhang Xianzhong entered Chengdu, he excavated the Jinjiang River, built a high dam in the river, carried out drainage projects, and then diverted it into the river.
On November 26, the third year of Shunzhi, the Qing Dynasty and the prince of Shuosu Haoge sent the commander of the escort army, Ao Bai and other generals, led the Eight Banners to march lightly in three ways, and launched a surprise attack on the peasant army. The battle situation was miserable, and when Zhang Xianzhong inspected the military situation in Linhe, he was sentenced by the Dashun army to Liu Jinzhong as a Qing general and said: "These eight kings are also." “
Qing and Shuosu Prince Haoge shot arrows, Zhang Xianzhong poisoned arrows, hid in the Fengming Temple of Phoenix Mountain in Yanting, knew that he was seriously injured, and divided the treasure map of Tibet into multiple parts and handed them over to his subordinates. After Zhang Xianzhong's death, Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates buried him in a secluded place with a brocade mattress.
Zhang Xianzhong's descendants Kewang, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, and Ai Nengqi led the peasant army to the southwest, and in accordance with Zhang Xianzhong's will, they took refuge in the Southern Ming Dynasty, supported the Yongli Emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and fought in Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, and everywhere.
Later, due to the internal discord of the Great Western Army, Sun Kewang, the king of Pingdong, and Li Dingguo, the king of Anxi, turned against each other, Sun Kewang was defeated and took refuge in Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides, and confided the secret of the treasure of the Great Tibet.
In the eighteenth year of Shunzhi, the Qing army Wu Sangui entered Burma with 100,000 troops, forcing the Burmese king to hand over the Yongli Emperor, and the following year, Wu Sangui hanged the Yongli Emperor in Kunming, and the Southern Ming Dynasty perished.
When Li Dingguo heard the news, he became ill with grief and indignation, and died of illness in Mengla Lancang in the second year of the Holy Ancestor Kangxi, and then his children led his troops to surrender to Wu Sangui, and Wu Sangui had sought the whereabouts of Daxi's treasure from his children, but there was no result.
"The imperial court obtained half a large Tibetan treasure map, and ordered Hauge and Dolgon to pursue other treasure maps and treasure clues. Since the Kangxi Dynasty of the Holy Ancestor, the Netherlands have invaded Taiwan in the southeast, and the three feudatories in the southwest have rebelled. The Rakshasa country coveted Tibet, Qinghai and Huijiang, and the treasury was empty, so the emperor ordered every effort to find the treasure hidden by Zhang Xianzhong for national use. In the successive governors of Sichuan, the Yamen experts set up an inspection bureau, which brought together the three religions and nine popular experts, from Tufuzi to the chivalrous men of the rivers and lakes, and even foreign missionaries, and the imperial court distributed money and food to them, which was to make secret visits and find treasures. Bantu picked up the tea bowl, took a sip of tea, and spoke eloquently.
"As far as the border troubles are concerned, in the last years of the Holy Ancestor Kangxi, the Dzungar Department of Lhasa, Tibet, united with Tsarist Russia to harass and rebel, in a vain attempt to annex Tibet. Emperor Kangxi, the Holy Ancestor, sent the fourteenth elder brother Fuyuan, the general Yinchu Fuyuan, to lead the army to Qinghai to suppress the rebellion and defend against foreign enemies, and Yue Zhongqi was the deputy general to assist. Yue Zhongqi led 500 elite soldiers from Kangding, Sichuan Province to Litang and Batang, commanded the battle, captured and killed the rebel leader with a strategy, and defeated 3,000 enemy troops with 500 elite soldiers with fewer victories. Pan Yue saw Bantu serving tea and drinking, and saw the stitches.
Yue Zhongqi also cleverly designed in Chamuduo to capture the leader of the Mongolian quasi-tribe alive, and after interrogation, he learned that there was still a place still in the hands of the enemy. At that time, Yue Zhongqi wanted to contact the army to report the military situation, but the military situation was like fire, and Yue Zhongqi could only do things expediently and attacked the Samba Bridge. Yue Zhongqi also designed to capture the black lama, who was known as the "enemy of ten thousand people". Capturing the black lama alive shows Yue Zhongqi's talent. Chongqing Governor Pan Yue continued.
"In the first year of Yongzheng, Qinghai Luobuzang Tenzin rebelled, Yue Zhongqi was ordered by Emperor Yongzheng, and in the same year, Tang Yao pacified the battle of Qinghai even more wonderful. At that time, Yue Zhongqi led 6,000 elite soldiers across the snowy plateau, and the army suffered from alpine asthma and difficulty, but they were not afraid of difficulties and obstacles all the way to the west, pacifying many departments at that time, and the emperor of Yongzheng three years named Yue Zhongqi as the "Fenwei General", and continued to pacify Qinghai, after Yue Zhongqi's unremitting efforts, Qinghai was recovered in only 15 days. Qinghai Shiping, awarded Yue Zhongqi the third class, it can be seen that General Yue was the son of the family at that time. Bantu talked about the excitement and leisurely fascination, which shows that the warriors of the Qing Dynasty killed the enemy in the military formation, which made them admired.
"In the third year of Yongzheng, Nian Qianyao committed the 'Ninety-two Deadly Sins' and committed suicide, and Yue Zhongqi succeeded Nian Qianyao as the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, controlling the military, government and civil affairs of the northwest provinces. The inward limelight is unmatched for a while. Pan Yue continued.
"No one is good for a hundred days, no flower is red for a hundred days, now Yue Zhongqi has not been sentenced to be beheaded and imprisoned, his high position is enviable, but it is also a blessing and a curse", Yuan Tiandi couldn't help but interject.
"What Mr. Yuan said is very true, blessings and misfortunes lurk, misfortunes and blessings rely on, Mr. Yuan must remember clearly", Pan Yueyi, the prefect of Chongqing, said meaningfully.
Yuan Tiandi's face changed color when he heard this, "What do you mean by this, my lord?" Yuan has always been law-abiding, living in harmony, and there is no one in the family who has broken the law", Yuan Tiandi couldn't help but say with trepidation.
In the seventh year of Yongzheng, Marshal Yue Zhongqi was ordered to cooperate with the general Fu Erdan of Jingyuan to lead the soldiers and horses of the West Road and the North Road to conquer the rebellion of the Jungger Department.
Marshal Yue returned to the front line, but the rebels did not meet the Western Route Army with the main force, but set up an ambush and encirclement of the North Route Army led by Fu Erdan, and the North Route Army fell into the ambush plan of Gordan, four generals, seven princes, and one deputy general were killed, and only more than 2,000 people remained in the 60,000 army, and almost all the army was annihilated.
In the tenth year of Yongzheng, the Gordan Tse Zero of the Jungger Department of Huijiang rebelled again, and the emperor ordered Yue Zhongqi to quell the rebellion and won the first battle, but due to the reasons of his subordinates, the plan was disrupted, resulting in the safe retreat of the enemy army at that time. Although the reason for this defeat was not Yue Zhongqi's personal mistakes, the subsequent several times to counter the rebellion of the Western Route Army spent too much money and food, and the battle situation dragged on and delayed, and there was not much progress.
Emperor Yongzheng reprimanded him many times, and Zhang Guangsi, the minister of military aircraft and the minister of Ortai Organization and the deputy general of the army, impeached him for "misleading the country", and ordered the commander of the West Road and the commander of the North Road to be dismissed from his post and imprisoned, cut off the position of the third-class duke of Yue Junmen, demoted to a third-class marquis, cut off the military power, and sent to prison. Like his ancestors, he was sentenced to "beheading" on "trumped-up" charges, and was later changed to "beheading prisoner", and only after several twists and turns did he save his life.
After Yue Junmen was removed from his post and investigated, the imperial court immediately took Cha Lang A as the general, and Zhang Guangsi was awarded the title of the commander of the Han army of the Red Banner. He was ordered to lead his army back to Balkul, and divided his troops to garrison Taolai, Wukeling and other places, and sent troops to defend Chahan and Hamar, cutting off the passage of the enemy from the west and south. Zhang Guangsi sent troops to guard everywhere. The important passes were also set up at the same time, and the protection of the pastures was strengthened, and Hami and Talenaqin were also all strengthened to defend themselves. The strategy of dividing troops and defending has plunged our 200,000-strong army and the rebels into a long-term confrontation. Bantu said.
"There is also a huge cost of river embankment, Yunguichuan and Tusi rebelled, the emperor is lamenting all night, eating and drinking, dare not slack off, if we can find the treasure of Daxi, it can be regarded as sharing worries for the emperor, I don't know if you can have a good plan to help." Ban Tuyan looked around at Zheng and Yuan.
"It is our duty to share worries for the country, but I and the people of the countryside don't know what we can do, but please command," Zheng Yi replied.
"There is an existing matter, the child is arrogant and ignorant, went to the hero gambling house and Yichun Yuan to mess around, and returned home that night, the child and a servant were diagnosed by the imperial doctor and were actually poisoned by the seven-colored golden silkworm Gu at the same time, life and death are on the line, please forgive Mr. Yuan for being ignorant and arrogant, offending Mr. Yuan, Pan is very grateful", Pan Yue stared at Yuan Tiandi with evil eyes. Yuan Tiandi's face changed dramatically when he heard this.
"Lord Yuan, please forgive the contemptible people for not knowing anything about this, let me immediately call the steward of the gambling house and Yichun Yuan to ask, and reply to my lord immediately", Yuan Tiandi listened to the reason, did not slack off, and ordered his subordinates to pass on the relevant people and other questions.
