Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 431 Han Eight Banners Delegation
According to the rules, they had to ring the bell in Qianqing Palace to convene a civil and military meeting in Beijing to officially announce that the emperor had returned his mother again.

Who sets the rules?
do not know.

There are probably two sources for citing scriptures.

One is that Xu Youzhen, Shi Heng, and Cao Jixiang supported Zhu Qizhen in the Jingtai period of the former Ming Dynasty to ring the bell and drum in Fengtian Hall (now the Hall of Supreme Harmony), and summoned a group of ministers to announce the restoration of the Supreme Emperor.

Second, during the Jiashen period of the former Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng's army surrounded the capital, and Chongzhen ordered the eunuch to ring the bell to call all officials to discuss the matter of warding off thieves, but no one came.

No matter which source it is, the sound of bells and drums resounding over the Forbidden City on the 40th day of the winter moon in Qianlong's [-]th year does not sound very auspicious.

At least, Jia Liu thought it was bad luck.

Accompanied by the sound of the bell, countless heads poked out from all directions of the city, each with a more puzzled expression.

"Who rang the bell?"

"The new emperor ascended the throne?"

"."

Hundreds of prominent figures gathered in the Yamen of Zhenglan Banner of the Han Army talked about it.

These people include old Liaodong and newcomers, and half of them are people who can talk about each banner, such as Hong Dade, the great-grandson of Hong Chengchou, the founder of the country.

As one of the few important figures in the Han Army Xianghuang Banner, Hong Dade played an important role the night before and even yesterday.

The specific manifestation is that he took advantage of the opportunity of the Han Army's Xianghuang Banner Dutong and the university scholar Shu Hede to go on a business trip, took advantage of the chaos and led people to capture the Han Army's Xianghuang Banner Dutong Yamen, and announced that he would take over the command of the Han Army Xianghuang Banner.

Of course, Hong Dade did not forget to give himself the name of righteousness.

What righteousness?
Of course it is for the stability of the Qing Dynasty.

Hong Dade was able to become the "big master" publicly recommended by the Han Army Xianghuang Banner. Apart from the fact that he had served as a general in Xi'an, the main reason was that his family was the only leader in the banner.

To be precise, the descendants of Hong Chengchou are a bit special among the Eight Banners, having the sole command of two assistant leaders.

When the ancestors were alive, they only gave Hong Chengchou the title of captain of the third-class light car, but the ancestors would appreciate Hong Chengchou's great contributions to the Qing Dynasty, so he not only carried Hong Chengchou's grandson Hong Yimian into the Zhenghuang Banner of Manchuria, but also acted as a matchmaker himself Betrothed to Hong Yimian the son of Guer Mahong, the son of Gushan Beizi in Xianglan Banner, and the daughter of Fu Guogong Aoshan.

Therefore, the Hong family actually has two lineages in the Eight Banners, one is the branch of Hong Yimian who carried it into the Zhenghuang Banner of Manchuria, and the other is the other two grandsons of Hong Chengchou who stayed in the Han Army's Xianghuang Banner.

Regardless of whether it was the branch that entered the Manchu Banner or the branch that stayed in the Han army, Kangxi gave each descendant of the Hong family the right to be a leader.

Speaking of which, Grandpa Sheng is much more kind than his father, Grandfather.

Zuo Ling used to be called Niu Lu, and those who can lead Niu Lu are all important figures in the Eight Banners.

It has been passed down from generation to generation, and now the head of the Hong family in Zhenghuang Banner, Manchuria is Hong Jia Yuanbao, and his mother is the daughter of Fu Guogong Aoshan.

The patriarch of the branch left behind in the Han army with the Yellow Banner is Hong Dade.

When the chaos broke out, no one knew what was going on. At this time, let alone a leader, even if there were dozens of loyal slaves who could decide the fate of a flag, let alone a leader.

After Hong Dade took control of the Han Army's Xianghuang Banner, he did not forget to carry it into the Manchurian family of the Upper Three Banners. He led people to successfully protect his cousin Hong Jiayuanbao's family, and took the Manchurian leader commanded by his cousin into his hands.

If all of them were mobilized, Hong Dade could call out no less than [-] people now.

Whether they can wear armor or whether they can fight is another matter. Anyway, these 3000 people are really there, and everyone has to call him Uncle Hong.

Naturally, when heroes from all walks of life in the Eight Banners of the Han Army gathered at the Dutong Yamen of the Zhenglan Banner to hold an aftermath meeting, Hong Dade, the head of the Yellow Banner of the Han Army, was naturally one of the "Eight Pillar Kingdoms of the Han Army".

The other seven pillars are Li Fengyao of the Zhenghuang Banner of the Han Army.

Li Fengyao's ability to be the spokesperson of the Zhenghuang Banner of the Han Army is inseparable from his elder brother Li Shiyao's appointment as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, except that he is an imperial guard and his ancestor is Li Yongfang.

In addition, Li Fengyao has a close relationship with the former governor of Sichuan and the new Zhongtang Fulehun who is now presiding over the overall situation in the palace.

The spokesperson of the Han Army's Zhengbai Banner is Hao Yuan'an.

His ancestor was Hao Zhongzhong, the deputy general under Zuo Liangyu's command. He followed Zuo Menggeng to the post-Qing Dynasty and went to Hunan Youlu General Army. He was awarded the hereditary third-class Adahahafan title.In the eighth year of Shunzhi, he was captured in the battle with the Daxi Army commanded by Sun Kewang, and was killed unyieldingly. He can be called a hero of the Qing Dynasty.

Hao Yuanan also served in the military, and served as an admiral in the Fujian Navy for two years.

The spokesperson of the Han army's inlaid white flag is Ma Yong.

His ancestor was Ma Ning, a general of the Ming Dynasty, who followed the Hui people's anti-Qing movement initiated by Meng Qiaofang, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, and was promoted to the governor Tongzhi for his meritorious service.

The spokesman for the Zhenghong Banner of the Han Army is Gao Gongzhi, whose ancestor was Gao Di, the commander-in-chief who guarded Shanhaiguan together with Wu Sangui.

Wu Guokui, the spokesman for the Han army with red flags, was descended from Wu Rujie, the admiral of Gansu.

The spokesperson of the Zhenglan Banner of the Han Army is Zu Jianchang. Originally, Jia Daquan negotiated with the other seven banners on behalf of the Zhenglan Banner of the Han Army.

Helpless, Zu Jianchang became one of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms.

Deng Tong, the spokesperson of the Xianglan Banner, was descended from the Ming general Deng Changchun who followed his ancestor's birthday to the Qing Dynasty.

Deng Tong was also the first person in Xianglan Banner to lead people to respond to Zhenglan Banner's bloodbath on Three Banners Manchuria.

The reason is that Deng Tong's cousin is called Chang Fu.

After all the famous people from all the banners arrived, there was a lot of chaos and nothing was discussed.

The conveners Zu Jianchang, Chang Fu, Liu Wanquan and others actually had no idea, because the message passed to them by the six sons was just to let them gather the people from the Eight Banners of the Han Army and wait for the next step.

It was almost dawn, and the six sons' notice hadn't come yet, so everyone was puzzled, so they simply slaughtered sheep and pigs in the Dutong Yamen, so that the banner leaders could fill their stomachs first.

While eating, there was a bell in the palace calling all the officials into the palace.

According to the rules, anyone above the fourth grade must enter the palace in Beijing.

The six sons also sent someone to inform everyone to enter the palace for a meeting, and told their uncle that Qianlong had returned.

A few old guys discussed going into the palace to see the situation.

Afterwards, Zu Jianchang went out to speak to the respectable leaders of the banners, and said nothing else, but let the messy crowd be quiet first, and then selected a "delegation" according to their seniority to enter the palace for a meeting.

What do you mean?
"Everyone's ancestors are the founding heroes of the Qing Dynasty, but it is related to the future and fate of the Eight Banners of my Han army, and the lives of 300,000 of my Han army's children, so there must be a backbone to discuss it together. Otherwise, you have an idea when you enter the palace. An idea, if you have this idea, and he has that idea, the hearts of our Han Baqi will definitely not be in harmony, and you don’t need me to tell you what the consequences of this inconsistency are.”

Zu Jianchang's proposal was warmly supported by the fourth, fifth and sixth generations of traitors who came to the meeting.

The problem is that everyone's ancestors are traitors, and the previous cleansing operations have also contributed, so who will be elected into the palace for the meeting?
And by what standard?

Chang Bingzhong's father, Chang Fu, came up with the idea that according to the "Biography of Two Officials" compiled by the National History Museum as the standard, the descendants of the first series stand in the front, and the descendants of the second series stand behind.

After discussion, everyone felt that this standard was reliable, so eight teams were quickly formed.

Orderly.

They are also convinced with each other.

"Everyone's ancestors are all heroes, no matter the old Liaodong or the new ones after entering the customs, to put it bluntly, everyone is our own. In the current situation, our Eight Banners of the Han Army must hold together. After entering the palace, everyone has to play by ear! "

After emphasizing the importance of unity and cooperation, the Eight Banners delegation of the Han Army headed by the "Eight Pillar Kingdom" began to enter the palace.

Three hundred children from each banner were selected to enter the palace together to avoid accidents.

The Mongolian Eight Banners and the Lower Five Banners Manchuria are also electing personnel to enter the palace. Only those officials in the major yamen in Beijing do not need to discuss with others. After hearing the bell, they put on court clothes and enter the palace honestly.
