Great Qing Dynasty talker

Chapter 305 The infantry commanded the Yamen and was ordered to suppress the Beijing flag!
This impeachment memorial is groundbreaking.

Adding another layer of fog to the haze shrouding the Forbidden City.

Even Qianlong's original plan to take over the main culprit and just give Agui a symbolic punishment became weird.

What is written in the booklet is too specific.

"Wang Sansong, a gentry from Fuliang County, once delivered a letter to General Fuyuan at his camp, reminding the rebels of the possibility of leaving Huizhou to raid Raozhou.

However, Agui is arrogant and ignores huge mistakes!
As a result, the Hukou officers and soldiers had no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth.

Tens of thousands of people fought desperately on the north bank of the Rao River, and eventually the entire army was annihilated! "

……

The job of the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is to impeach his colleagues.

Even if there is no real evidence, it can still be "rumored".

His instinct told him that this was not made up.

After 4 rounds of consultation, we came up with a recipe: conditioning!

Qin Tianjian observed the sky at night and discovered an extremely rare scene.

Qin Si looked at the group of imperial doctors carrying medicine boxes and sneered:
"These quack doctors want to treat people in my hometown, and they won't even be able to eat black buns."

Xinglin masters from Taiyuan Hospital gathered in the West Nuan Pavilion of Yangxin Hall.

This filtering standard filters out most impeachment claims. For example, he married several concubines, slept in eight alleys, ate and had sex, and his children were playboys.

however,
Today's impeachment report of the newly appointed censor is too specific!
The specific details made the old emperor palpitate.

"Hmph, you can see it. The hospital envoys and judges are from hereditary medical families, and they have turned this hospital into their own private residence."

"Quick, call in."

"What about this prescription?"

"The Zuo Auxiliary Star is dazzling, protecting the Ziwei Star! Surrounded by auspicious clouds, the Pojun Star is dim."

"Whoo."

Qianlong lay on the bed for two days when he suddenly received good news.

……

This cry,
The ministers in the Yangxin Hall were all excited. The expressions are very exciting, some are shocked, some are surprised, and some are thoughtful.

In summary,

Qianlong even said privately:

Qin Si, the eunuch in charge, saw Qianlong's face getting worse and worse, and couldn't help but take two steps forward:

"I have been wise and martial all my life, but I have also been fooled by these quacks my whole life."

"Stay patiently. Follow the rules."

Seeing the joyful congratulations of a group of courtiers, Qianlong's mood improved inexplicably. As I get older, I like to hear auspicious words.

Seeing no one around, he suddenly sighed softly:

Qianlong Longyan was delighted and sat up:

"Master, do you want to call the imperial doctor?"

"Except for matters involving military and national affairs, forming cliques for personal gain, being corrupt and resisting orders, the rest do not need to be submitted to me."

Then, the impeachment of the Chief Military and Aircraft Minister does not allow for a trace of "rumours". If there is no solid evidence, this censor will definitely be liquidated.

Everyone's face is wearing a mask.

……

Maybe God really opened his eyes, and suddenly the guards shouted from outside the palace:
"Barbarians abroad, the King of the Saxon Empire sent a plenipotentiary mission, traveling thousands of miles to congratulate the Qing Emperor on his birthday."

Disciple Zhao Si whispered:

At the same time, he gave a bunch of medical advice that was "universal", which made Qin Si sneer in front of his face, his eyes full of sarcasm.

Sometimes Zhezi writes can be compared to popular novels, with extremely rich imagination. The censor has a pen, and everything he says depends on editing. So even if the discount is handed over, few people take it seriously.

First of all, it will be clear after checking whether Fuliang gentry Wang Sansong has this person.

"Our Long Live Master is so pitiful."

"The Emperor is blessed with great blessings, God bless the Qing Dynasty."

however,
The hospital envoy was not ashamed at all, and remained calm and recited the medical advice he had given him for decades. Afterwards, he kowtowed and left the Yangxin Hall.

"Master, people in the palace say that the hospital has the same mouth."

The old emperor's heart palpitations became more and more serious.

This also reflects Qianlong's consistent standard for employing people: regardless of personal ethics, only looking at public conduct.

Especially those military ministers, they are comparable to the most awesome Sichuan Opera face-changing masters in the troupe.

Qin Si has been in the palace for 20 years and has already understood the invisible logic of the Forbidden City.

A Lan Ling guard ran in happily and took off his horse sleeves:
"Urgent news from Guangdong. The Saxon King congratulates the Emperor on his longevity. The front line of the mission has arrived at Guangzhou Port. This is a message from the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi and the General of Guangzhou."

"The envoy has arrived in Guangzhou? What is its size? What is the official position of the envoy?"

The Lan Ling guard was embarrassed and couldn't answer.

……

He Shen took it and opened it to read.

He forced a smile and said:

"If it's not a mission, it's a merchant ship that serves as the vanguard for the mission. Please notify us in advance to prepare for the Qing Dynasty."

"Well, even though he is a barbarian, he still knows etiquette. According to the decree, the Guangzhou government needs to entertain the messengers of the tribute mission well and place them in the local posthouse according to the treatment of a second-grade official. When the mission arrives, Guangzhou will send troops to escort them to the capital. "

Yu Minzhong was happy on the surface, but extremely confused on the inside.

And He Shen was the same. In addition to being confused, he was also a little uneasy. He always feels that there is something going on here!

"He Shen, what are you thinking about?"

"Back to the Emperor, I'm wondering if this Saxon Empire's sudden visit to our Qing Dynasty has any purpose?"

"Well, let me set the tone for this matter first. The Qing Dynasty is rich all over the world and is self-sufficient. If he comes to pay tribute or celebrate his birthday, I should treat him with the courtesy of a prince. There is no need to talk about other things."

"Whoo."

Suddenly, Qianlong's smile gradually faded.

All the ministers in the palace also became serious and followed the situation closely.

……

"I have a concern. Although the bandits in the south of the Yangtze River are suffering from scabies, if the barbarian envoys come to visit, they will underestimate our Qing Dynasty~"

He Shen quickly took over the conversation:

"I dare you, my servant, to ask the emperor to tell the whole city that Jiujiang is a great victory!"

Qianlong sat up straight and said:
"You, what did you say?"

"The New Year is coming. For the sake of the people of the capital, for the stability of the world, and for the face of the Qing Dynasty, Jiujiang must win a great victory! In this way, the people's hearts will be excited, the barbarians will be in awe, and the gentry will feel at ease. In a year and a half, the entire country's troops will completely wipe out the south of the Yangtze River."

Seeing that Qianlong was still pondering, Heshen added eagerly:
"The people can follow it, but they cannot know it. They must listen to the teachings of the sages. How stupid are the common people? They listen to the wind and it becomes rain."

Yu Minzhong also spoke slowly:
"The veteran seconded the proposal."

"I second the proposal." "I also second the proposal."

Seeing that everyone agrees, collective wisdom has been formed.

Qianlong finally made the final decision:
"Just follow all the ministers and do as you are told."

"The Emperor's Holy Might."

……

The Military Aircraft Department drafted the document, and the Six Ministries and Banner Dutong Yamen and Shuntianfu Yamen received it two days before the "Sealing Day".

With the wisdom of a court official, he immediately understood.

So, it was conveyed layer by layer.

The officers of Shuntian Prefecture beat gongs and shouted along the way:
"Great victory in Jiangxi, 10 thieves wiped out."

"The south of the Yangtze River is restored, and the seas and rivers are clear."

It happens to be the twelfth lunar month, and Sijiu City is already full of people walking around. Now you can find high-end topics.

In the teahouses and restaurants on the streets, there are civilian analysts who analyze the inevitability of the imperial court's victory from military, geographical, moral, and even Feng Shui aspects.

Yutai Teahouse,

While a group of men under the Five Flags were discussing happily, there was a noise outside.

"Shopkeeper, what's going on outside?" "Hai, don't mention it now. The price of white rice has increased to 37 yuan per pound! Listen to me, the robbery in Gaobeidian is nothing more than this, right?"

This complaint caused a great response.

None of the bannermen who are flying the Five Flags have been feeling angry at home recently. My mother-in-law says to me every day: I don’t have enough money and the things on the market are too expensive!

……

Bang, the third master, whose face was as red as pig liver, suddenly slapped the table:
"I just don't understand. Now that the imperial court has defeated the puppet king of Wu in Jiangnan, the officers and soldiers have fought all the way from Jiangxi to Suzhou. Then why is the price of rice still so high?"

All the bannermen trembled and looked at Lao Na in horror.

The third master also realized that what he said was overstepping his bounds, and he was even suspected of being a "Jiangnan element."

Gritting his teeth, he quickly changed the target:
"Your Majesty is wise, General Fuyuan is wise. It must be those profiteers who are deliberately raising food prices!"

"Well, what do you say?"

"Humph, the imperial soldiers marched into the south of the Yangtze River. The grain immediately poured into the capital like a roaring mountain and a tsunami, and the price of rice suddenly fell to the bottom. But the hearts of these rice industry shopkeepers were all dark. They just grabbed this and said I want to make a lot of money."

Someone next to me responded immediately:

"These grandsons are so wicked! They have grasped the weakness of our banner people. The New Year is more important than the sky!"

"Damn it, then we just let them bully us?"

……

Bang! The third master slammed the table again.

"Impossible! The men of the Four Nine Cities unite to make a judgment."

"go!"

It’s the twelfth lunar month of winter, but there’s no snow.

So the team grew stronger and stronger along the way, gradually gathering thousands of bannermen.

One of the characteristics of Jingqi is that people go crazy when they come.

I'm usually a bit timid, but when I have a lot of companions, my courage can reach the sky! The Stove Lord dared to pull it down and slap both of them.

When the policeman patrolling the streets of Shuntian Prefecture saw this, he was so frightened that he hurried into the alley.

"Quickly, go back and report to Mr. Fu Yin."

Soon, the group saw a rice shop in business.

He walked over aggressively and pointed at the price sign hanging on the rice shop:
"Plain rice, selling for 38 cents per pound?"

The guy was also a little short-sighted and replied forcefully:
"It's 37 cents in the morning and 38 cents in the afternoon. I don't know if it will be 40 cents tomorrow."

"Oh, you dare to talk to Uncle Qi like this? Young and old men, beat him like a bastard."

A group of bannermen grabbed the man and pushed him to the street and beat him violently.

The third master couldn't squeeze in, so he jumped outside the crowd and shouted excitedly:
"Smash, smash this evil shop."

……

There was an uproar and the signboard was taken down.

All kinds of rice were splashed all over the floor.

The shopkeeper was beaten until he was lying on the ground screaming, his face covered in blood, and he was muttering:

"Wait a minute, this is the shop of Mr. Wang, the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs."

Unexpectedly, Uncle Qi is famous for being soft-spoken and unforgiving. He directly scolded the eighteen generations of King Hubu's ancestors.

"Let's go to the next one."

"No, we should go to Dutong Yamen to protest. This matter must be solved from the root."

As a result, Wuyangyang's bannermen poured into the nearest Zhenglan Banner Dutong Yamen.

Waving his fists and shouting:

"Punish the evil rice merchants."

"The bannermen are the foundation of the Qing Dynasty."

The gates of the Dutong Yamen were closed tightly, and the place was in a state of panic.

The soldiers were busy holding wooden poles against the gate and leaning on the wall with ladders to watch.

The third master's drunkenness at noon had not yet subsided. He saw an egg white vegetable stall next to him, so he walked over and grabbed two eggs.

"Uncle, you haven't paid me yet."

"Fuck you, sir. You stood up to plead for the people. I gave you two rotten eggs. You still want money?"

Said, swish.

Two eggs smashed into the Dutong Yamen of Zhenglan Banner. Immediately afterwards, countless egg white vegetable leaves flew in.

Not to mention, a few young fools actually threw the charcoal fire of the wonton shop on the door, burning the red riveted door black~
……

A cold wind blew by,
The third master's drunkenness was instantly over. He looked at the scene of chaos and fire and suddenly got excited:
who I am? Where am I? What am I doing?
Click, click, click, and orderly steps came from the alleys on both sides, and the soldiers of the infantry commander's Yamen were ordered to suppress them. There were at least hundreds of people holding spears and pressing over neatly.

broken!

The Third Master, who was well versed in the logic of the yamen's actions, rushed into the small alley next to him without a second's delay, climbed over the wall with unprecedented speed, and escaped the fate of being arrested.

When he got home, he was so stunned that he didn't dare to go out for three days.

I was afraid of being thrown into jail for the New Year. As he expected, more than 100 bannermen spent the New Year in the prison of Dutong Yamen.

The court was furious,
Five people were exiled and 5 people were punished with sticks. The rest of the arrested people were suspended from receiving crops for one year as punishment.

The third master who works in the Lifan Academy loves to brag, but he is very clear-headed about important matters.

Don’t look at the loss in everything, but look at the nature!

Once you burn and smash the Dutong Yamen, even if you just blacken the door, the nature will change!
……

The business of Yutai Tea House has become much deserted.

The men in Jingqi were too frightened to go out to drink tea and drink water.

It is said that the old emperor of the Forbidden City was very angry about this and scolded the Beijing flags who participated in the trouble as ignorant bastards.

At this critical moment, Ran brought disgrace to the court's face.

However, scolding will be scolded.

The price of rice has indeed dropped and is back to 30 cents.

Moreover, this matter has attracted great attention from both the government and the public.

A hidden danger that has existed for a long time but that no one wants to face has finally been brought to the forefront - the capital is short of food!
The officials of the Six Departments and the Minister of Military Aircraft Department sat together to discuss the matter.

"My lord, you are also in charge of the household department. Without the rice from the south, what will happen to the capital's food supply?"

"The land tax in the northern provinces will be increased by 1 yuan per mu to make up for the gap. In addition, the Ministry of Household Affairs has sent a letter to the Da Yuan Prefecture of Fujian Province, requesting the Da Yuan Prefecture to organize grain ships to Beijing."

"Is it possible?"

"The big officials have more land but fewer people. The local rice is cheap, so shipping it to the capital is a win-win situation. The big farmers get more money, and the price of rice in the capital will also drop."

The Minister of Rites nodded and tentatively agreed with this explanation.

Increasing income is also for officials and gentry of high officials.

But as long as the capital can increase food input, nothing else matters.

……

Yu Minzhong suddenly said slowly:

"I'm still not worried enough."

"Master Yu, please speak?"

"Hubei and Jiangxi have always been grain-producing provinces. But Hubei has been tortured so much by the religious bandits that it is estimated that it will not be able to recover within a year or two. As for Jiangxi, there is no hope for the time being."

Everyone was silent, this was all true.

The fall of Jiujiang was probably only a matter of time. Even if Wu Jun could not occupy the entire Jiangxi province for a while, as long as he controlled Jiujiang City, he would block the most convenient route for grain to go north.

Unless it is transported to Xiangyang, Hubei Province first, then it enters the Nanyang Plain and is transported overland to the capital.

With such a grain transportation route, how much is left after 100 kilograms of grain reaches the capital?

At most 20 pounds!
The rest is consumed on the road, both by the peasants and by the mules.

Someone took off his warm hat and sighed silently.

It’s difficult!

……

After a long while, Heshen said:
"Should we suffer for the people of Yu and Su provinces a little longer?"
