Qing Dynasty Secret History

Chapter 79

But he said that after all the courtiers turned up, they waited for Zhu's approval. After waiting for many days, there was no movement.

The censor Yin Zhaoyong, the minister Kuang Yuan, the cabinet scholar Wen Yang, the minister Bai Jun and the minister Weng had a heart in mind, and the meeting jointly fought for the title.Yin Zhaoyong said: "The peace and war this time is related to the survival of China. Why do the higher-ups take foreigners so lightly?"

Bai Jun said: "Everyone puts all their energy into Chang Mao, so naturally they don't care about foreigners."

Weng Xincun said: "I think the disaster of long-haired people is small, but that of foreigners is great. Thinking of Longxing in the early days of the country, at that time, the four tribes of Nikan, Wailan and Hulun in the north, Fang Er in Ming Dynasty, were enemies in the world. Taizu, Taizong, After repeated conquests, there was no danger. When the holy ancestor pacified Galdan, from the west of Heilongjiang, the four tribes of Khalkha, five thousand miles from east to west, and three thousand miles from north to south, all Mongolian nomadic areas were unified. I also sent ministers to demarcate the border with Russia, and return the land I invaded in the past. The south bank of the Heilongjiang River belongs to China. The land, Xili territory.

Gao Zongdang pacified the Zhunbu and settled back to Xinjiang. The poor frontier in the northwest, as far as the Tianshan Mountains and Congling Mountains, became the territory of China.A total of hundreds of battles were used before and after, and the salary was tens of millions. The land was expanded far and wide, surpassing the previous generations.This is the so-called humiliation of several generations, and the safety and strength of the heirs.

Now those who advocate appeasement, don’t say it is to calm down the troops and calm the people. The emperor Bai Deng of the Han Dynasty, after a setback, abruptly discussed the marriage, and he did not rush it. How come Gao Hou, Hui, Wen, and Jing IV all suffered greatly from the Xiongnu Woolen cloth? "

Xiang Jun said: "That's it. The idea of ​​marriage is advocated by Lou Jing.

At that time, Fan Kuai invited 10 people to run amok against the Huns, and the ministers thought they could be beheaded.It was Xiaowu who resisted his spirit of excellence, selected apprentices to learn riding, and chose generals to order teachers, and he succeeded in succession.After ten years of training as a teacher, he cut off all the mows, famous kings and nobles, captured hundreds of Shan Yuqiong and fled to Mobei. After all, he used Fan Kuai's trick to get it once and for all. "

Wen Xiang said: "Everyone knows the present and the past, and discusses the edicts well. According to my muddled opinion, we banner people are all military, and our original job is to fight. Foreigners are showing off their power in China, and our banner people have lost all face. .”

At the moment, everyone considered the best and made a joint proposal, but nothing came of it, and there is still no news.Why do you think?It turns out that at the beginning of Wenzong's reign, he wanted to suppress Fu and choose generals, aiming at the king of monks.Later, when Qiying arrived in Tianjin and the foreigners were rude, he was disappointed.And because the fort has not been repaired, the coastal defense is suddenly difficult to rectify, and all the defensive opportunities are difficult, so we have to bear the pain and succumb.Therefore, the courtiers made the memorial and kept it in the middle.In a few days, Zhunhe's decree has been issued, and the foreign ships are ordered to set off and return to Shanghai. At the same time, imperial envoys are dispatched to Jiangsu to discuss tax matters.So the foreigners from the four countries danced and danced, and went south one after another.

Unexpectedly, one wave is not smooth, and another wave rises again.There are no doubts and no way out in the poor mountains and rivers, and there is another village with dark willows and bright flowers.The governor of Guangdong and Guangxi received the imperial envoy consultation meeting, and knowing that the appellation bureau had been decided, he hurriedly informed the army and the people, and the soldiers waited for their lives.The people in Guangdong are no different from other places. They are brave and good at fighting. If nothing happens, they will still find trouble. Now that the peace has been settled and the provincial capital will not return, the anger is really pointing to their mouths.The consuls stationed in Canton City, not knowing what to do, announced the funds of the Tianjin peace agreement in a big way to expose the people, and sent four or five foreigners to each city and city to post them separately.

When it was posted in Xin'an Township, it was surrounded by all the townspeople with gongs and gongs, and the notice was torn to pieces.

The foreigner who posted the notice was stabbed three times, and he also lost his life early.Congren rushed back to the provincial capital and reported to the consul. The consul was furious and immediately raised troops to attack Xin'an.On the one hand is the temperance teacher, on the other hand is the mob crowd; on the other hand is artillery and foreign guns, and on the other hand is bamboo spears and rocks.After half a day, Xin'an had already fallen, and Foshan was shaken.Luo Dunyan, the servant of the local register, saw that the disaster was not over, so he asked for a slow withdrawal of the Foshan regiment training bureau under the pretext of patrolling bandits.

Tongshan leans to the west, and Luozhong responds to the east.With such a commotion in Guangdong, the Shanghai Ocean people immediately made waves.It turned out that Tu Guiliang of the University, Shangshu Huashana, Minister Jipu, and Qing Mingshan of the Armed Forces Academy went to Jiangsu to meet the tax rules.At this time, Nanjing, Suzhou, and the world of the Taiping Army, only the Shanghai Concession, is still considered a clean land.The four imperial envoys all rushed to Shanghai.As soon as the port is changed, a written note will be issued to discuss with the four countries.Unexpectedly, he came back and claimed that "the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Huang Zonghan and the gentleman Luo Longsu, did not handle their affairs properly. After the peace was settled in Tianjin, they still recruited brave people. And they sent out reward posts all over the place, saying that they could be sent to the head of consul Ba Those who rewarded 3 taels of silver, and even fired artillery to injure and kill our soldiers, so that they had to capture Xin'an, what is your opinion?" and other words.Gui Liang frowned and said: "Things are so difficult, but there are still such waves, isn't that difficult to death?"

Huashana did not answer in silence.

When Ji Pu saw that the two were frowning, and his own name was low, he didn't dare to talk about it.On the contrary, he is wise and resourceful, and offered his advice: "This note cannot be ignored.

Gui Liang said, "How to word it?" "

Ming Shan said: "Just infer that there are thieves in Jiangxi, Jiangxi, Jiangxi and other places in central Guangdong, and the roads are blocked, so it is unknown if there is no Dali in Tianjin Zhihui. If we go forward like this, we will naturally have nothing to say. "

Gui Liang said: "This plan is very clever."

Make it in the same way.

But in a day's time, the foreigners came to note again, saying that they must negotiate the tax rules as soon as possible, and that they must first withdraw the yellow platform and dismiss the soldiers trained by the Guangdong Gentlemen's Regiment.Gui Liang shook his head and said, "It's really difficult to get along with foreigners. What they do is firmly rooted in the fruit, categorical and categorical, and they are not willing to accommodate at all."

Huashana said: "Zhongtang has a good opinion, how to deal with it?"

Gui Liang said: "What's the matter? Foreigners will never succeed if they don't follow him."

Immediately, the text was copied, and the wording in it was nothing more than a sentence of "following Taiwan's order".As a result, the regular meeting between the two sides, the articles issued by the United Kingdom, mostly in the meaning of mile country, are ten in total, called "Tax Rules for Commerce and Industry".The rest of the three countries are roughly the same.After more than a month of discussion, everything was in order, and the British envoy E Luojin came to Shanghai.The imperial envoys and the envoys of the four countries made a pledge, and the envoys of the four countries returned the British contract and waited for the letter of credence, but when the letter of credence was issued, they went to Tianjin to petition for an exchange of the contract.Guiliang, Huashana, etc., took care of the situation and reported it according to the facts.From the Shangyu, it is nothing more than the five words "as requested".

At this time, the British wanted to add a Yangtze River estuary to the agreement. They had to go to the area along the river to check the situation in order to determine the trading ports. They sent naval commanders to drive steamers and warships from the sea into the river, go straight up the river, and cruise everywhere. Measure everywhere until Hankou Town, Hubei Province, and go back and forth for more than a month.French missionaries also sailed to the provinces one after another, surveyed the land and built churches, talked about scriptures and preaching, rented private ships in the interior, and traveled by inland rivers. How dare the local officials question a single word.A few heroes who know the time, like Hu Xingren from Zhejiang Fuyuan, etc., heard that the foreign priests came to pay homage, and hurriedly advocated the raising of cannons, welcomed them into the office, and set up a feast for them.Compared with the time of Qianlong, foreign officials had to bow down and kowtow to the officials when they visited the officials.Seeing that everything had been settled, Gui Liang followed Hua Shangshu and others, and went north to return to Beijing to return to his orders. He stayed in Shanghai by himself to supervise the aftermath.

At this time, the river road is blocked, and the land is full of ambush. Although Huashana and others are Heyi Qinxian, it is quite difficult to drive smoothly.He had no choice but to hide his name, change clothes and change clothes, and hurried on his way among the merchant team.

Walking into the border of Shandong, I was surprised to see many people walking back and forth with different opinions and different opinions.As soon as he landed in the inn, the owner asked the guest if he was going to Huangyashan Zhang Shengren?Huashana vaguely agreed, and the owner of the shop immediately showed great hospitality, asking for tea and water, and delivering food and wine.And said: "The capital of our store is also on the mountain. Anyone who goes to Mr. Zhang Qi, the sage, will have all board and lodging, and will not take any capital."

Ming Shan was witty and quick-witted, and said with a smile: "We are just admiring the wind, and we are not very careful about Mr. Qi."

The owner of the store said: "It turns out that the guest officer didn't know that Mr. Zhang Qi, a sage, is really a living god here!"

Immediately, I narrated the whole story of Zhang Shengren in detail.Huashana and the others were dumbfounded.It turns out that this saint, named Jizhong, styled Shiqin, was born in Yizheng in the south of the Yangtze River.His elder brother accumulated meritorious service and became an official in Linqing Prefecture.In the third year of Xianfeng, during the rebellion of the Austrian bandits, they were martyred together. Jizhong gave birth to his son Shaoling, who was named Dao, and he and his elder brother were the heirs.When Jizhong was young, he also read poetry and books, and passed the imperial examination. However, his fate was unlucky and his luck was not good.During the Daoguang period, Yangzhou had a prosperous scenery and people bought and sold porridge.There is a sorcerer Zhou Xingyuan, known as Mr. Taigu, who is good at practicing qi and bigu.He also taught people to take the essence of the essence and make it into a secret play, traveling among scholars, merchants and doctors.Scholars, merchants and officials are very happy but keep it secret.So Jizhong took his job at a low price, listened carefully to the lectures, and worked hard for five or six years to do his best.Taigu's disciples live in abundance, and there are footprints of his disciples everywhere.Bai Ling, governor of Liangjiang, was most jealous of evil. He was so angry when he heard that Taigu Zuo Dao was deceiving people, he set up a prefecture and county, arrested him in the Yamen, sentenced him to death, and made him public.At this time, Taigu's disciples all avoided hiding. They could only accumulate and benefit from the master's skills and practice tirelessly. The book advocated to the public: "Mr. Taigu was forced to seek immortality because of the filthy vulgarity, so he fell into the net of law and was released by soldiers. Only by persisting in the power of vows can he prove the Tao."

People asked him how he persisted in his vows?Ji Zhong said: "You don't have to run away from the world, you don't give up eating and drinking, men and women, if you show up and live in the world, you can live the same life as the heaven and the earth.

"Everyone was delighted when they heard this. Jizhong also has a little bit of skill. He is very good at waiting for the wind and rain, and he is very good at giving rain. There are quite a few people who have been deceived. But he is good at acting and living in the city. , do not communicate with others very much. People who are catechumens, kneeling on the ground, knocking on the door and bleeding, still firmly refuse to accept, only saying that the person has no good roots, and must benefit the world. First let the person release life and give food, and do all kinds of good deeds. He led his disciples to spy secretly. When the man came again, he said that he was stingy with money for certain things, spared no effort for certain things, his moral heart was not firm, and Taigu didn't want to include it. Record, avoid asking Yicheng, Jizhong insists not to allow it. I am afraid that the person will go back, and the party will intimidate and instigate the party, so that the person will give up. Sometimes the party members are secretly ordered to pretend to be seekers. Send it to the door. Jizhong said that he had no Dao roots and refused to accept it. Then he sent the stunning female slave, dressed like a heavenly man, with brilliant jewels and green musk orchids, to worship. , but recruited the beggars and wives in the market, people who had accumulated evil, and sat there in a room with them. Sometimes they recruited bearded fathers, and they talked with each other all day long. Therefore, the Jia family of Gaomen There are handsome men and beautiful women, teachers who are well-known, who are in the wrong house, and none of them are suspected.

In the last years of Daoguang, Huainan's salt affairs reform, all the strange people in the world gathered in Yangzhou, such as Zhou Taofu of Yangzhou, Ma Yuanlin of Changzhou, and Que Gongji of Wujin.Taofu's mouth was like a river, and his words were pouring down the Three Gorges. Gongqing came to the door, and his momentum was quite strong.Concerned about being destroyed, and visiting the inn.Dongping Yang Jiaoyin, Wu Xuejiang, etc., went to worship with thorns in their hearts, and expressed their intentions.Unexpectedly, Taofu and Gongji still speak bluntly and criticize He as heresy.Jizhong didn't argue, and sent out a box to discuss "Mencius", "Daxue Yanyi", "Jinsilu" and other books, as well as Zhatu's recitation and lectures.To flatter Taofu.Sure enough, Taofu fell for his tricks, talked about items with everyone, and wandered around to accumulate money."Ji Zhong Nai Discuss and Can Tong Qi" is attached to the introduction of sages, and those who follow will benefit the public.

In the sixth year of Xianfeng, Jiangbiao was in chaos, and Jizhong moved to the north, and lived in Boshan County, Shandong Province.Wu, the county magistrate, is exactly his cousin brother, and they complement each other.As a result, the power of accumulating in the middle gradually entered the boundary of Shandong.Sixty miles northwest of Feicheng County, there is a mountain called Huangya Mountain.

There is a village at the foot of the mountain, which is called Nanhuangya, and Xubeili, which is called Beihuangya, just borders Changqing.

The shape of the mountain is surrounded by arches on three sides, and the two peaks in the north and south face each other.In the middle there is a piece of Pingyang, about a hundred mu in size. They gathered to measure the situation, and then said to the crowd: "There will be chaos in the north, but here is where you can avoid the soldiers."

So he built a house on the mountain and led his disciples to live there.Coincidentally, in the southern border of the Eastern Province, there were repeated police officers, and those who took refuge moved there a little bit, and Huangya Day prospered.His cousin, Wu, was just transferred to the magistrate of Licheng County.The partial praise of Jizhong was unspeakable, and since then bureaucrats have gradually believed in Jizhong.

Jizhong made excuses to guard against Nian bandits, built stone fortresses, diverted water to surround the mountains, built military equipment rooms, purchased soldiers, firebows, crossbows and armored battles, and issued orders, just like an enemy country.Jizhong prides himself on being a god and refuses to meet people easily.Those who came from far away for the first time settled in the literature room and called Gao Di Wu, Zhao Weitang, Liu Yaodong, etc., to transfer to each other.The admonitions of the guide are taught and read, and they listen to the lecture once every five days. The peasants in the village can't recite it, and let them go and stay.Those who returned from the house all bared their right arms, and they were not allowed to pass by each other.Every morning and evening, the meal is rich and generous, and the guests are respectful and respectful.In the end, the Japanese were silent and did not say a word.There are two female disciples in Jizhong, one is Suxin and the other is Rongshang. They live in a dedicated house, and they are so solemn that those who come to pay homage to them bow their heads nine times.If you see the accumulation, the second female sits down and does not answer.Although Wu and others are generally disciples, they dare not fight against the two daughters.

It is said that Suxin was originally the grandson of Taigu, and Rongshang was married to Wu, both of whom were young widows.Jizhong built a sacrificial hall in the mountains to worship the gods. Every sacrifice is always late at night, and the rituals are complicated.Suxin and Rongshang, dressed up and carrying swords, serve as servants.Sandalwood burns candles, bananas He Xiaohan, dozens of miles away, the light shines like fire.The villagers all call him Zhang Shengren Night Sacrifice, he is not a member of the sect, and cannot be peeped.The place of Huangya was originally very remote, but because the number of people who taught it increased day by day, it turned into a big city, where fields were built and houses were built.According to the daily temperature of the accumulation of capital, starting from Xiaolipu in Feicheng, inside and outside Jinan Huicheng, Huakou in Dong’e, Tiemenguan in Lijin, Chengzikou in Haifeng, and all the way to Weixian County in Antai, there are shops. , the name of the size of the font is crowned with the word "Thai", such as Taiyun, Tongtailai, Xiangtaiheng and the like.For thousands of miles, he commanded and commanded, and he was worshiped as a god, and he was called Mr. Zhang Qi from far and near.For example, Wu Mou, Yaodong, etc., did not mention their surnames, but only Mr. Qi.

There is an astonishing ability in this product, once you meet and talk with someone who is in trouble with you, you will be convinced and obey his teachings.After following the teaching, it's like eating Gu medicine, what kind of disasters have happened, and you will never realize it until you die.Later, Zhang Jizhong dated the Nian Party and set up a flag to raise an incident. He was killed by officers and soldiers into the rock, and he fought to the death in the village, but no one was born.Although the officers and soldiers are holding the banners of cooperating with Wangzhi and surrendering to avoid death, the people in the sect seem to have not seen it.In the memorials of the Fuyuan, it is said that he has no talent and reputation, and only pretends to write poems and books, talking about his life, and even the gentry extended his reputation, and the fools were deceived by him.His family didn't have a lot of money, and he came to the east for only ten years, so he was able to cross counties and townships, list shops all over, and use tricks to deceive.In order to collect funds for desperation, those who followed his teachings lost their property and family, and went there with funds.There are no less than a hundred families in the mountains, and they spend their money in life and their lives in death. I really don't know what skills to use and what teachings to learn.But to be able to confuse people so deeply, one can imagine his ability.Before the officers and soldiers entered the mountain to search and arrest, they first sent envoys to appease them.Jizhong's reply letter and his cousin Wu Taishou's words are also quite impressive. The words said: "the letter reprimands me for not going out to defend myself, which suits my heart very well."But recently, there are those who are eager to sue for my brother because of their difficulties.My brother is usually indifferent to honor and profit, and studies everywhere. He lives in seclusion to seek ambition because the world is still in chaos.It's not like keeping a low profile for a long time, but the false voice of a scholar is impressive, and there are many people who follow and hold Zhizhi.Although there are many kind-hearted people, there are also fierce birds of prey.Since the elder brother was not careful at the beginning, he wanted to transform him with virtue and bring Xu back to the right.However, after ten years in the East, why dare to do anything recklessly. Last year, Xiaohua, the king of Wei County, was implicated. This year, Ji Zonghua was falsely accused.However, when this matter happened, if Jiaoyuan Boping told him in a letter, his brother would stand up and surrender, and there would be no difficulties.Fortunately, the two monarchs came here with soldiers, and they were lucky enough to travel without being murdered. Otherwise, they would have been in prison for a long time.Boping Yuting, Kuiye marched into the army, showing people unpredictable, so that the crowd fought and injured the soldiers.Brother knows that a catastrophe is coming, and it is inevitable. He is eager to be defeated together, and he does not hope that I will be wronged.The unruly men of the Naiji family, after failing to invite them, robbed our main alliance and killed them all.Brother, you can't prohibit it, you can't go against it.For several days, I walked on the corner of the mountain, and I felt nothing.When the soldiers came to the scene, my brother wanted to come out and confessed, but he was as fierce as Yi, and refused to stand still.The disaster has come to this point, there is nothing to say.I originally wanted to draw the sword to decide myself, but there are many people who are outside the door. Hearing that Yu died unjustly, he will not be reconciled.Brother desperately wants to seize the opportunity to disband, but the number of people is large, and there are many people of the nature of tigers, leopards and wolves, so I need to extend my date.Please temporarily withdraw the soldiers from the mountain, so that you can make repeated statements, and the mother-in-law said to disband.If you attack at the same time and recruit at the same time, then Shangxian will not be able to convince others, and the trapped beast will still fight, so how can you persuade your colleagues?A brief summary of the special appointment.

This is all for later.

Huashana and the others were stunned when they heard what the owner said.Huashana said to Mingshan: "This old man is so mischievous, there must be chaos."

Ming Shan said: "Fortunately, it was in our hands, but it's a pity that we have to return urgently without delay. Otherwise, it won't be too late to leave after finishing this matter."

Huashana said: "That's the job of the nursing home, we don't have to do things for others, just write him a letter and let him know that it's over."

Ming Shan saw that Huashana had said so, and he didn't do his own thing, who would want to intervene?But before leaving, he sent a letter to Dongfu.Dongfu received the letter from the imperial envoy, and dared not neglect it, so he sent cadres to investigate closely.When the committee member went to the mountain, he saw Mr. Zhang Qi, bearded, eloquent, and peaceful like a family, farming and studying, just like a paradise.According to the facts, Fuyuan only acts as an imperial envoy out of thin air, and doesn't take it to heart.

But it is already the first ten days of winter when Huashana, Jipu and Mingshan arrived in the capital.Entering Chaomiansheng, as soon as entering the court room, all colleagues came to inquire.Duanhua, Sushun, and Weng Xincun, a member of the clan of Tu Baijun of the university, were the most attentive, holding hands to say hello, and they were very affectionate.Huashana said: "I was on the road, and I heard that the Hunan Army at Sanhekou lost strength, and Li Di was also martyred. I don't know if it's true or not?"

Weng Xincun said: "Why not, Zeng Disheng's report has also arrived. His younger brother, Wen Fu, named Guohua, also died in this battle. This Li Xubin is a senior brother of Luoshan, a famous general of the Hunan Army, and he is tolerant and silent. He is cautious and meticulous in his work. The soldiers he chooses are all shameless, brave, sincere and brave to fight. Whenever he encounters an enemy, he should be weak and he should be strong. Every time he receives a battle of food, he will choose the best. Take what you want. Where the army is stationed, the people keep farming, and there is no murmuring. The bloody battle lasted six years, and the city was conquered forty, without saying a word of merit.

So when he heard the news of his accident, no matter how far or near, ignorant or foolish, they all burst into tears.The top was also very shocked, and the special governor gave him a sympathy as usual, and gave him the posthumous title of Zhongwu.His original official was just a chief envoy, which shows the prosperity of his family. "

Huashana said: "How can such a good general be defeated again?"

Weng Xincun said: "The official document Hu Linyi will plan the strategy of the Eastern Expedition. The Lu division crossed the river, first Anhui and then Jiangnan, and the navy division first Anqing and then Jiangning. Unexpectedly, Chen Yucheng, the thief chieftain in Anhui, was named the King of England, nicknamed the Four-Eyed Dog, and he was also a hero among the thieves. The two heroes confronted each other, and they were evenly matched. Two strong generals are entangled, one is Li Shixian, the servant king, and the other is Zhang Luoxing, the chieftain. Three fierce tigers pounce on a hero. The road was encircled and suppressed on all sides, the thicker the more you gathered. The seventh battalion fell first, and the follow-up soldiers knew it was inevitable. They leaped into the enemy's line by night and died in battle. The elite of the Hunan army were all lost."

As he said that, he suddenly heard the Jingyang bell ringing, and it was said that the emperor had ascended to the palace, and everyone was busy entering the court.If you want to know what happened next, let's listen to the next chapter.

(End of this chapter)
