Qing Dynasty Secret History

chapter 66

It is said that when Yiliang first arrived in Taiwan, he wanted to send an order to the town and the Taoist officials to arrest them and interrogate them.Unexpectedly, the people in Taiwan are not easy to provoke. Hearing that Yi made Taiwan to handle the case across the sea, he was full of grief and indignation, shouting and shouting, and he had the spirit of being a commander-in-chief to castrate the party to Governor Wu.As I tend to pass by, the people on the side of the road are making a lot of noise.Good people don't suffer from immediate disadvantages, for fear that the platform will hold down the fire, and they will not speak a word.The next day, it was reported that the officials of Dazhentai, Yaodaotai, and prefectures and counties were all in question. When they were questioning, they suddenly heard shouts from outside, approaching from far away, as if the sky fell and the earth fell, and the mountains shook.Yiliang was so frightened that she was dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.The inspector staggered in and reported, "It's not good, there are many people outside, each holding a torch of fine incense, rushing into the courtyard."

Yi Liang asked in surprise, "What are you doing in here?"

The inspector said: "Cry for injustice on behalf of Zhentai and Daotai."

Then he said, "I'm shouting again, Commander, please listen."

When Yiliang listened intently, everyone said in unison: "Master Du Dao is so wronged! Da Zhen Tai and Yao Dao Tai are good officials from our place."

Yiliang was terrified, followed by Xiang Da and Yao and said, "It's fortunate that brothers didn't make things difficult for you two. You two are really good officials who are so popular with the people."

After only three sentences, the family flew to report, and all the people had already crowded into the second gate.Da Zhentai said: "The situation has been forced. Please sit out the hall and dismiss him, otherwise I'm afraid something will happen."

Yiliang said: "Is it okay to go out?"

Yao Daotai said: "The commander-in-chief goes out and suppresses it for a while, I'm afraid it will be fine. Otherwise, this group of ignorant people, I am afraid they will be lawless."

Yiliang said: "Go out as soon as you go out, but you can't leave me half a step, there is a priority, so I can rely on you."

Da Zhentai said: "Okay."

So they surrounded Yiliang and sat out of the hall.I saw the long, short, fat and thin people rushing forward like a sea tide. There are thousands of troops and horses, the cigarette smoke is like fog, and the shouts are like thunder.Seeing this, Yiliang was too frightened to say a word.

At this time, all the people went from the gate to the hall and knelt down in a row. Thanks to Da Zhentai and Yao Daotai's repeated persuasion, repeated persuasion and countless good words, they were dismissed.

When he looked at Yiliang, he was still sitting on it in a daze.The two members of the town and the road are very funny.

It happened that the court sent him, so he was woken up. When he took it apart, he saw that it said: If there is a little concealment in this case, and you refuse to break the sympathy, so that the rewards and punishments are unfair and unclear, and the bureau is wrong, you will come to me in the future. If you don't find out, how can Yiliang deserve it?Be cautious.

This is it.Yiliang sent the court to Da and Yao, saying: "You two are loyal, and brothers know it very well. It's just that you want to do so, and brothers can't do anything about it. If you insist on your will, you will not be wronged. In case If the provocation starts again, this brother Jiu can't take the responsibility."

Yao Daotai said: "Commander Gouyi, how about the important rank?"

Yiliang said: "He who knows the current affairs is a hero, and a man can bend and stretch. According to the brothers, it is better for the two of you to hand over a confession, only to say that the foreign ship was broken twice, one was smashed by the wind, and the other was sunk by the wind. There is nothing wrong with it." Isn't it over for the soldiers to take over the battle bravely?"

Yao Daotai hadn't answered yet, Da Zhentai replied vigorously: "So the commander wants us to deceive the sky, others, and ourselves."

Yiliang said: "I'm nothing more than explaining for the two of you, and I never follow what I can't do to strengthen each other."

Da and Yao are subordinates, how can he be better than his boss?I have no choice but to feel aggrieved, let him die in vain, and finish this muddled case.Yi Zhitai repeated it, saying briefly, "Before this matter is paid, everyone will do what they can.

The only intention is extravagance, which is an excuse to criticize, and it deserves it.Da Hong'a and Yao Ying didn't dare to insist on the previous situation, and presented their own confession, asking for a punishment for the Ming Dynasty, etc., and other tactful words. Not long after, the court sent it down and ordered Ba Da and Yao to be arrested in the capital and handed over to the Ministry of Punishment. Interrogated with the Minister of Military Aircraft. Dazhentai didn't say anything, Yao Daotai was full of complaints and had no way to vent, because Zhejiang Liufutai had a town, and Daoist's trip was not a disgrace, so he wrote a letter to Liu Futai, expressing his frustration He was full of injustice. His speech said: A certain and Dazhen army used the effect of killing the enemy to sue for outsiders, and the commanders corrected them one after another. Even those who picked up false rumors as the help of outsiders caused thousands of outrages, arrested and questioned them and entered the capital. Not only owes the kindness of Shengming Teben, but also has the virtue of knowing and recommending things on the stage. I am frightened and leave the words, that is, I will go to the province to wait for the letter, and I will not be able to speak in person. I am very sorry. In Quanzhou Chengming, the original performance is not wrong, but the foreigner too Urgent. After another two months, the discussion will be completed and the matter can be avoided. It is also said that the town and the Taoist trip are not humiliating. It is very serious! The great gentleman holds the promise. Gu Yide's stupidity is still not in vain.

Now that it is far away, the rate dares to spread its mere area, and Xin Chui inspects it.Today, people outside the bureau are talking nonsense, ignoring the situation, talking about the truth, and pretending to be meritorious, and going to heaven to listen.Those who pretend to be meritorious are bound to hide their goodness and think it is beautiful. There is no one who praises the goodness of others and thinks he is false.The chicken coop is ten days away from Juncheng, Daan is a little closer, and Cheng is five days away, all in the north of Taiwan.The two captures of foreigners were neither in the town nor the Taoist body, but according to the words reported by the civil warriors and the people.Since ancient times, military merits have been verified by captives, flags, and armored batons, and rewards will be given if there are any. Therefore, everyone uses their lives, not like jailers who pick rapes and prostrate themselves.Therefore, Zhou Shi Yaowu, there is an article of "Piaochu" in history; Xiang Yu slays himself, and Han has the reward of the five princes.The so-called soldiers are expensive and empty, but wide will win the crowd.When the chicken coop is broken, the ocean boat seems to be rushing to defend the reef; when Da'an is broken, the ocean boat is stranded despite the clouds.However, the soldiers in Taichung are unremitting in ascending the ranks; the righteous people are prepared to kill the enemy.Taking advantage of danger to create chaos, the opportunity was not lost.Yangzhou committed five crimes against Taiwan before and after, and the grass squid boat colluded with the outside; the rebel bandits took the opportunity to spread chaos inside.It is all thanks to the strength of the soldiers and the people that the pawns can keep the Yanjiang area, return to safety in danger, and not bother with one soldier and one arrow in the interior.If there is no encouragement to drive it, how can it be achieved?On that day, reports from various sources all claimed that the prisoners, guns, armor, and books offered were verified to be true, and there were also green camps, flags, military uniforms, swords and battles, seals of Zhejiang Fuying officials, and gunpowder roads. The number of books in the library is actually a warship that harassed the mainland.At that time, the foreign flames spread wildly, raging in several provinces, poisoning our people and killing our generals.The imperial court has repeatedly ordered special conquests, and there has never been a successful teacher outside the world.Worrying about work during the night, Zhongliang gnashes his teeth.The county got the report of breaking the boat and capturing the enemy, and praised it with the forehead and hands, saying that if the sea works like a spirit, it will help our civil warriors and people, and wipe out the ugly ones.Urgently when Fei Zhang came to report, he comforted Jiu Chong's anxious and angry arms, and used Zhang and our three armies to defeat the enemy's spirit.When it comes to civil and military affairs, Fang has no time to appreciate his labors. How can he derogate his Ci because he is not good at the line, and his merits are not his own.The original performances of the town and the road are all reported according to the report, and the town and the road are not mentioned.That is to say, the original report of civil and military affairs has not been obtained by the scholars and the people, and the scholars and the people have not accused the civil and military officials of taking advantage of their merits.Yixian crossed Taiwan, arrested and asked the town, and Daocheng was determined early. For a while, the county people refused to accept it.

The next day, the Jewish people held a torch of incense and went to the imperial envoy's camp to complain, while all the scholars and people in Taiwan rushed far and near.Although the constitutional approval is not allowed, but they have all accepted their words, and the records can be verified, so it is clear that the town and the Dao have no intention of pretending to be meritorious.Three days after the chicken coop and foreign boat arrived at the port, the cannons were fired, and our soldiers also fired at each other.Da'an Yangzhou was actually run aground by fishermen.The soldiers and the people took advantage of it.In the statement that day, it was not a rebellion at the beginning, but the foreigner would caress the queen, pursue and hate Taiwan, capture and behead him, and make false statements all over the place, thinking that the humiliation of China is nothing more than this.The marshals corrected and participated one after another, and Taiwan's prison for feigning meritorious deeds was completed.The wounds and pain of the ministers are so deep that they think that they have just rested, and they are afraid that they will start the army again and seek the country. How can the husband have him?On the 25th of the first lunar month, the imperial envoy crossed Taiwan to the county. On the 26th, a decree was issued for arrest and questioning, and based on the interviews, the town and props were ordered to speak.A certain man is familiar with the town army, and the foreigners have repeatedly tried to force the beam. Now everything is in the expedient area, and the words of skin complaints cannot be convinced by words.Towns and roads are not gone, but foreigners may come, and they will not be able to listen to what they do.Foreigners may have special demands and bother Shengqin, so the overall situation cannot be ignored.And if you sue foreigners, if you think it is false, foreigners will not accept it.The ministers of the Zhen and Dao dynasties cannot confront the foreigners and humiliate the country. If the civil and military officials do not take credit for it, how can they be more offended?If you lose your loyalty, only Zhen and Dao will take the blame.

Before Gai was caressed, Dao was promoting mighty men; after being caressed, Dao was calming down troubles and calming the people.Zhen and Dao have received great kindness, and if something goes wrong, there is no way to escape the crime, so it is reasonable.Moreover, on the third day of December last year, the town and the road saw the foreigner's false statement, and they recorded the performance as they were, and asked to withdraw it for investigation.The fold was kept at the mouth to guard the wind, and the imperial envoy had already crossed Taiwan according to the order, but he recovered and copied the Yixian boat, and the fold was still preserved.Now that the crime is gone, sincerity is my heart.In the future, if you enter the capital, you must plead guilty as before to complete the foreign case.Only a great gentleman has a sense of confidant, and he is so indifferent that he dare not hide it away, but luckily he observes it brightly.Emperor Xuanzong was really wise, knowing that Da and Yao were good people.But if it is not done, foreigners will definitely refuse to agree;So he came up with a two-faced method, only dismissing him and closing the case.After Xuanzong's death, Wenzong ascended the throne, and promulgated the Tengshu, the prison was reversed. This is a later story.

Since the conclusion of the Taiwan case, the arrogance of foreigners has been increasing day by day, and the prestige of China has been decreasing day by day.In Huayang lawsuits, nine out of ten cases were lost by the Chinese.

Unexpectedly, prosperity will decline, and things will reverse.In the 23rd year of Daoguang, the people of Guangzhou, with the same hatred and united will, had the ability to make foreigners dare not go one step further. Do you think they are powerful?It turns out that the folk customs of Guangdong have always been tough.In the 21st year of Daoguang, the British committed internal crimes, and the Cantonese people were indignant. They started a war with the foreigners in Sanyuanli, Xiaoguan, and defeated them all. The army was greatly shocked.So they trained a regiment to train soldiers. At first, they were only Nanhai and Panyu counties. Later, Xiangshan, Xin'an and other counties came together one after another. Jiang's weather.Baimen made an agreement, and the five ports opened up business, and the foreigners wanted to go to Guangzhou to discuss matters with the big mansion.Gentlemen and elders, when they received this letter, they immediately became impassioned and went crazy.On the one hand, citing the archives, they submitted a report to the governor and Fuyuan, saying that in Qianlong, Macao was ordered to be a trading area and Huangpu was an unloading place.After the foreign business transaction is over, they are still escorted back to Macao to live in winter, and they are not allowed to stay in the provincial capital and enter or leave without authorization.Therefore, Du Huayang's argument is to establish a great defense at home and abroad, and the law is the best.Now foreigners dare to break our rules, and we Cantonese will never recognize each other.On the one hand, pass on the call of the righteous people, ask the rich to help pay, and the poor to contribute, hold group training, draw according to households, with a hundred people as a head, eight heads as a general, eight generals as a society, and eight societies as a large general.Three people draw one, except for the old, weak, disabled and single people. Within ten days, cities and villages will gather, and the whole country will be full of soldiers.When the Dafu heard about it, he secretly sweated and wanted to strictly prohibit it. He was afraid of sudden changes, but he didn't dare.Fortunately, the foreigners are well-behaved, and every time they return to the province, they retreat despite difficulties.

In the 25th year of Daoguang, there happened to be an ignorant foreigner who decided to enter the city to discuss matters.At this time, Qiying made the stage, Yilibu the general of Guangzhou, and Huang Entong the Futai.These three brothers were very close to foreigners, but they were not affectionate, so they sent Liu Ze, the prefect of Guangzhou Prefecture, to the foreign boat to inform them, saying that they would meet again after the soldiers and civilians were informed.Unexpectedly, when the Cantonese got this letter, they immediately rioted.Inside and outside the city, posters were posted all over the place, saying that when foreigners entered the city, they immediately shut down the city and started an uprising.By coincidence, the next day, Liu Benfu accompanied a foreigner to get back to the yamen, blocked the way and knocked over a pair of oil loaders, and both of them slipped and fell like Dr. Oil.Liu Benfu was furious and ordered the oil seller to be blamed in the street.Unexpectedly, the anger of the public was offended, and all the people in the market made a commotion, saying: "The government clears the way to welcome the foreigners. We small people should kill them all. We simply send them up and ask him to kill them."

Suddenly gathered 5000 people.Liu Benfu saw that his looks were wrong, left the foreigners behind, and fled for his own life.Where are the people willing to hold back, they catch up closely.Liu Benfu fled into the yamen, and everyone flocked to the yamen.Liu Benfu hid in the upper room and never dared to come out again.Everyone rushed into the upper room, Liu Benfu was extremely anxious, climbed the wall to escape for his life, and escaped with falling and jumping, but fortunately he did not fall.The wives, aunts, elder sisters, young mistresses and other family members were crying and crying, as if they were dying of grief.All the people broke into the upper room, saw the boxes and cages, and moved them out together. They unscrewed the locks, found court clothes, court caps, court beads, etc., and shouted: "I have voted for foreigners, and I still want the Qing Dynasty. What are you doing in disguise?"

One said: "It would be much easier to burn it with fire."

Everyone said yes, and suddenly the flames rose, and more than a dozen sets of clothes were burned.Liu Benfu went to sue the two courts, weeping and asking to send troops to suppress and arrest him.The Governor's Court pushed the Fuyuan, and the Fuyuan pushed the Governor's Court. After all, it was just a notice of appeasement, and never took one person.The people became more and more excited, spreading leaflets, claiming to burn and rob thirteen foreign firms outside the city.The foreigner who asked to enter the city saw this momentum and fled away in fright.

Since then, the arrogance of the Cantonese people has risen even more. When foreigners come ashore, they will always be humiliated in many ways.

The foreigners only said that the big government sent out instructions, and they often sent letters to the two courts. They were afraid that the conflict would reopen, and they invited gentlemen to discuss ways to eliminate it.Among the gentlemen, Xu Xiangguang is the most bloody, and the one named Binqu is Daoguang Renchen Division Jinshi.The rest, such as the servant Luo Bangyan, the editor of Long Yuanzhi, and Su Tingkui in the matter, are also full of loyalty and indignation, and have a cold heart.

Now Qiying, the governor of the court, will describe the original intention.Luo Shilang said: "This is public anger, and we have nothing to do."

Xu Xiangguang intervened: "The grandpa didn't know that we Cantonese are only capable of suppressing the enemy, not the ability to make peace. If the grandpa issued a military order, those who can fight against foreign aggressors would be rewarded. Wu, both the vanguard and the queen are willing to obey orders."

Seeing that they were so stubborn, the governor could only sigh.At this time, General Yilibu of Guangzhou was worried about dying.Knowing that it was not a good omen to live here, Qiying made Taiwan. He mobilized the leader Mu Zhang'a, and was summoned internally, so he took off a wet shirt and put it on someone else.Not only that, before the old man left, he also removed a large pile of rotten shit.Because Qiying was the minister who originally discussed the matter, the British asked him to make an appointment to enter the city before they could leave.Qiying said: "This matter, two years later, Bao Ke will fulfill the agreement."

The British asked him to report according to his situation, and the old man fully agreed.After the Governor's Institute left, Huang Entong from the Fuyuan was also taken away, and the few brothers who were negotiating peace dispersed for a while.The new governor is Xu Guangjin, and the Fuyuan is Ye Mingchen. These two are good ministers and very easy-going people.When he came to office, he didn't help foreigners or the common people. If you were turned upside down, the tsunami and the river would rise, he would always be calm and peaceful, be his official and enjoy his blessings.Compared with Du and Fu, Ye Fuyuan is even better. He is blindly good at Taoism, and only loves to recite aid, worship and repent, and kowtow to Buddha and worship gods.His old man believed in the two immortals Lu Yan and Li Bai most. He set up a altar and worshiped them day and night.Except for burning incense to invite immortals every day, the rest is not on his mind.

But it is said that since the departure of Qiying in Guangdong, birds and rabbits have left, and it has been two years in a blink of an eye.The foreigner wrote a note and applied to enter the city as promised.Governor Xu Guangjin ignored it.Gentlemen from Guangdong, upon hearing this letter, hurriedly went to the governor's office and said: "The foreign ships come every year, and there is not enough supply. Now the people of Guangdong are gearing up and want to contribute to the country. There must be more than [-] people in Ge Benji, so what are you afraid of!"

Xu Duyuan said: "It's rare that all of you share the same hatred, and the brothers admire it very much. If there is a war in the future, we must always rely on it. But the time has not yet come."

Suddenly it was reported that the foreign ship was moored outside the Humen Gate and was going to have a meeting with Taiwan.Xu Duyuan said: "What's the matter, wait for my cousin to meet him on the foreign ship."

Then I sent a note and agreed on a date.When the deadline expires, the governor will go to the foreign ship and meet with the British envoy.Regarding the application of the British envoy to enter the city for two years, the governor said: "This matter has no files in this department, so it is difficult to obey the order."

Farewell to go back to the city, then invited Fuyuan to discuss the matter of war defense.

If you want to know what is going on, listen to the next breakdown.
