Chapter Twenty-Six: Big and Small Jinchuan

The Great and Small Jinchuan River is located in the easternmost part of the Kang-Tibet Plateau, in the northeast of Sichuan Province. The Great Golden River is in the west and the Small Golden River is in the east, and it is named after the water (Great and Small Golden River).

The inhabitants of the Jinchuan and Jinchuan areas are of the same ethnic group as the Tibetans, and their leader, Haiilam, was already a hereditary Tusi in the Ming Dynasty, known as the Zen Master of Jinchuan Temple.

This descendant of Haiilam, Bulji, surrendered to the Manchus in the seventh year of Shunzhi. During the Kangxi period, the hereditary evolved Zen master was called Jianaba. The descendants of Canaba have become evolutionary Zen masters from generation to generation. The great-grandson is called Zewang.

A grandson of Jianaba is called Sha Luoben, in the fifty-ninth year of Kangxi, with Yue Zhongqi, attacked Tibet, after making meritorious service, was recommended by Yue Zhongqi to write a book, Nian Qianyao reported to Yongzheng, Yongzheng Yongzheng in the first year of Yongzheng named him as a pacification envoy, Yamen was set up on the east bank of the Dajinchuan in a place called Garya.

From then on, the Great and Small Jinchuan were divided into two, and the place of Salopun was called Dajinchuan Tusi, and the place of Zewang was called Xiaojinchuan Tusi, and Zewang's yamen was set up in Mino.

Sharoben is an ambitious person, he first married one of his daughters to Zewang, and then robbed Zewang in the eleventh year of Qianlong, snatching Zewang's seal of "Evolution Zen Master", which can be regarded as unifying the big and small Jinchuan.

But after the annexation of Xiaojinchuan, he still felt that it was not enough, and he had to attack other Tusi, his meaning was very simple, he wanted to establish an "independent kingdom" in Sichuan, which was absolutely unbearable in the eyes of Hongli, and Qianlong dispatched Zhang Guangsi as the governor of Sichuan to deal with Sharoben.

Zhang Guangsi led 30,000 soldiers to the Meinuo of Xiaojinchuan Tusi, but he could not help the Lewu Wai guarded by Salopun and the Gar Cliff guarded by Salopun's son Langka. Saroben built a lot of stone bunkers, Zhang Guangsi used the method of "using the blockhouse to make the block", but in the end it was only in vain, not to mention the time, but also the cost of food and soldiers' lives.

Zhang Guangsi was stupid to a certain extent, and used the so-called method of "making a fan with fan" to put Zewang's younger brother Liangerji by his side, but he didn't know that this Liangerji was already Saroben's son-in-law, and took up Zewang's wife. All of Zhang Guangsi's actions were reported to Salopen by Liang Erji as they were. Not only that, there is a Han man named Wang Qiu by Zhang Guangsi's side, and this Wang Qiu has long been bought by Sha Luoben.

In April of the thirteenth year of Qianlong, Qianlong sent the great-grandson of Yidu, a first-class scholar of the university, to Sichuan in the name of the minister of economic strategy to supervise Zhang Guangsi's attack. After the relatives came, they directly killed the two spies as Qincha, and then ordered the whole army to capture Gar Cliff within three days. As a result, three days later, the bravest general soldier Ren Ju was killed, and the Gar Cliff was still standing, and the whole Qing army was discouraged, even the relatives themselves were discouraged.

So he reported to Qianlong that Gar Cliff was not easy to fight, and he would need to wait until next year, and then there would be a way with 30,000 elite soldiers. Soon after, 30,000 people did not need to be sent to save military spending, so it was better to wait for two or three years. Qianlong was so angry when he saw that a dignified bachelor and minister of economics and strategy could say such inconsistent and ambiguous words, and directly recalled him and sent him to serve in the Northwest Army. In December, the more Qianlong thought about it, the more angry he became, and directly sent a guard to behead him directly with the "residual knife" left by his grandfather, Kubilong. And Zhang Guangsi, an incompetent person, was already corrected before his relatives were beheaded by Qianlong.

As mentioned above, Yue Zhongqi was released in the second year of Qianlong, and he could only stay at home all the time, not daring to make the slightest move, and in April of the thirteenth year of Qianlong, Qianlong suddenly used this veteran in the name of "general soldier" and sent him to serve on Zhang Guangsi's side (at this time, Zhang Guangsi and his relatives were not dead), and they were also controlled by the ministers of economic strategy.

As soon as Yue Zhongqi arrived, he was appointed by Qianlong as the "Governor of Sichuan". The relatives asked Yue Zhongqi to go to fight the party dam on the north side of Gar Cliff, Yue Zhongqi really deserved to be a veteran, but he was brave and brave, and he took down the party dam as soon as he went.

Yue Zhongqi had a total of 7,000 Han soldiers and local soldiers at that time, and asked Zhang Guangsi to transfer 3,000 people. Yue Zhongqi's idea was to first go north from Dangba and attack Kang Bada, from Kang Bada to lay down the Lewu Siege of Salopun, and then return to the army to attack the Gar Cliff of Salopun's nephew Langka. Even this plan, Zhang Guangsi still disagreed.

Zhang Guangsi and his relatives were beheaded one after another, and after Fu Heng was appointed as the economic strategy, Yue Zhongqi, with the support of Fu Heng, captured Kangbada in one fell swoop and directly approached Lewu Siege. Salopen is scared! He knew Yue Zhongqi's ability, because he had been a general under Yue Zhongqi, and at the same time he also had unrequited his kindness to Yue Zhongqi, Yue Zhongqi not only protected him, but also returned the Meitongzhai taken away by Nian Qianyao to him during the tenure of the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi.

So when Yue Zhongqi approached Lewuwei, he immediately sent someone to negotiate surrender, Yue Zhongqi asked Fu Heng for instructions, and Fu Heng thought that he could surrender. Yue Zhongqi then only brought twelve entourages, rode thirteen horses, boldly walked into Lewuwei, and chatted for a night in the village of Salopun, quite a general's demeanor. The next day, Salopun and his son Lang Ji followed Yue Zhongqi out, went to Fu Heng's army to surrender, returned the adjacent Tusi land they occupied, swore that they would never invade, pay tribute on time, capture the fugitives, and return the plundered people, and Fu Heng also promised (following the emperor's will) to pardon Shalopun's sins.

Qianlong was very happy, and ordered Yue Zhongqi to be rewarded, first of all, he restored his duke, so as not to chase the deficit of more than 700,000 taels of silver when he conquered Galdan Tsering, Qianlong added the title of "prince and young protection", and added the word "prestige" in front of the duke, that is, "prestige duke", and even allowed "horseback riding in the Forbidden City". Later, in the seventeenth year of Qianlong, Cangwang, the Zagu Tusi near Xiaojinchuan, also acted indiscriminately, but was actually caught by Yue Zhongqi like an eagle catching a chicken. Two years later, Yue Zhongqi died as the governor of Sichuan, and was the only person in the Qing Dynasty to become a "great general" as a Han (it should be noted that Nian Qianyao was also a general, but Nian Qianyao belonged to the Han Army Banner People, not pure Han people, and in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Han Army Banner Man and the Han people were two completely different concepts).

Later, when he was old, he handed over the military and political affairs to his nephew Lang Ka, who made up his mind about Xiao Jinchuan in the 23rd year of Qianlong and expelled the Tusi Zewang of Xiao Jinchuan and the Tusi Sereng Dun Dobu of Gebushli. At this time, the governor Kaitai was in charge of Sichuan, and Kaitai mobilized several Tusi soldiers and horses to recover Xiaojinchuan and Gebushli.

Four years later, Lang Ka, who did not give up, attacked the party dam where Yue Zhongqi was stationed that year, and Qianlong sent Altai, the governor of Sichuan, to suppress it, as a result, he mobilized nine Tusi soldiers to surround Dajinchuan, Lang Ka gave in, and after Altai agreed, Qianlong blamed him for being too lenient and should be exterminated.

Later, Langka died, and his son Sonomu succeeded him as Tusi, who was a little wiser and no longer made enemies of Kokanegawa, but wanted to win over Kokanegawa. At this time, the Tusi monk Gesang (the son of Zewang) of Xiaojinchuan was also very ambitious, and he hit it off with Sonomu, and made an appointment to attack together in the 36th year of Qianlong.

After Qianlong got the news, he was furious, gave Altai to suicide, and sent a Manchurian Guilin to become the governor of Sichuan. At this time, Qianlong asked the scholar Wenfu to lead Admiral Dong Tianbi and others to set off to Wenchuan County in the name of "Dingbian Right Deputy General" and captured two strongholds.

In the winter of this year, Qianlong asked A Gui to take charge of the military of the South Road in the name of the counselor minister instead of Guilin, and also promoted Wen Fu to "Dingbian General". Ah Gui is very powerful, in one fell swoop, after capturing Meinuo and capturing Didam, a scene of the drama appeared, Ah Gui arrested Zewang, who retired where, and then sent a message to Sonomu in Dajinchuan, asking him to tie up the monk Gesang, Sonomu ignored it (caught Lao Tzu, and then asked someone else to tie up his son, at this point, the author still thinks it is better to send the letter to his son).

If Wen Fu could be like Fu Heng trusted Yue Zhongqi at this time, let Dong Tianbi also go deep behind enemy lines and directly attack the Gar Cliff and Lewu Wai in Dajinchuan, things would be simpler. But this Wenfu is a bit like Zhang Guangsi, a passive attack, building a bunker, to the 38th year of Qianlong, Dong Tianbi died in the enemy raid, and he also died in the chaos when the camp was captured. Regarding the territory acquired by Koganegawa, it was lost again.

Qianlong was angry at this time and couldn't find anyone to be angry, so he could only promote Ah Gui to the general of Dingxi, and Ah Gui also fought for five days and five nights in October, and finally recovered the Meinuo of Xiaojinchuan. In the second year, Ah Gui divided his troops into dozens of routes and attacked at the same time, which frightened Sonomu, and he poisoned Seng Gesang and handed over his body to beg for surrender.

Ah Gui did not make peace with him directly like Altai this time, and continued to fight until the end of Qianlong's forty years, surrounded Gar Cliff, Sonomu surrendered, and Ah Gui escorted him to Beijing.

At this time, the Jinchuan issue, which had been in trouble for more than 20 years, was declared to be over, and it could really be described as "chaotic coaxing, you sing and I will appear on the stage", and the military expenditure used by Qianlong to suppress it was more than 70 million taels.
