Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

C1693 Raging Flames Rushing Out of the Pass

After April passed, the mountains and rivers of Great Qing entered into a warm embrace. The last sliver of ice and snow from the three provinces, as well as Northern Mongolia, had also completely melted. All the mountains and rivers seemed to have come to life overnight.

The Black Dragon River had completely opened up the river. Countless tributaries of the river gathered the snow and water in the dense forest within the great mountain. The entire river roared towards the east like a giant dragon.

According to the usual practice, at this time of year, the ferries on the Black Dragon River would be bustling with activity. The sailors who had been idle for the whole winter were about to start their work.

But this year, everything changed. The Black Dragon River all the way to the exit of the Amur River, all the ferries were heavily armed, the Manchu Army blocked all the customs ports in Jilin Province and Heilongjiang Province, and the Far East Region was filled with the figure of the Bravehearts.

Two of the three provinces outside the pass had already lost control. The army started to move without any orders from the military, and the Hun Chun began to have internal cleansing like all the other warlords.

All the generals went over the matter one by one. All the officials who were close to the Empress Dowager and the Prince were purged, while the poor officers who had once been the cold stools were highly valued for their loyalty to the Emperor.

The prison was filled with hardliners and corrupt officials. Everyday at night in the garrison camps, the sound of crying ghosts and howling wolves was filled with the curses and curses of urgent interrogation.

This was the principle of the Chinese Church. Hun Chun thought that right now, he would protect the two provinces for the Emperor for at least four years.

In this period of time, not only would he have to deal with the problem of the food rations of the army, but he would also have to spare some money for the king and provide him with an elite army of over a hundred thousand men. This was not a simple task. From now on, he would have to act.

Of course, the fastest method would be to plunder his family property. Someone who could harden his heart and activate the military transformation would naturally not be a kind and virtuous person, and Hun Chun was also a ruthless person after he made up his mind.

First instance, two dozen, three threats... The Sword Emperor Shang Fangfang was in the hands of Tongzhi, and the entire Black Dragon River was like a storm of blood and gore. Countless powerful and arrogant officials were all dismounted, and not only were all their properties taken, even the gold and silver hidden in private were all taken away.

In a short period of time, the two provinces' officials were shaken, and their wails rang with curses. Fortunately, Hun Chun was not a bloodthirsty person, so the enemy faction's officials all kept their lives after extorting all their wealth.

The civil and military officials who had escaped could no longer stay here. In a short period of time, a large number of officials began to flee towards the south on the main road leading from Liaoning Province to Jilin and Heilongjiang.

Wade, Itoon, Sea Dragon, Tonghua... These cities at the border between the two provinces immediately caused a sensation, the officials that were like lost examinees dragged their families and carriages as they fled towards the south, cursing all the way while crying, while spreading the brutal name of Hun Chun outside the pass.

This was the center of the political, economic and cultural areas outside the borders, and also the place where the Shengjing was located. It was impossible for them to not know about the Black Dragon River Hun Chun's mutiny, and actually, on the fourth day after the Vice General Lin captured the Qiqihar, the Shengjing received this shocking news.

Not only was the main road leading to the Black Dragon River and Jilin Province in Liaoning spontaneously established, but the local garrison troops were all waiting in anticipation, fearing that the Hun Chun would lead the army to rush out from some remote corner of the mountains.

"The empire has been here for more than two hundred years, where have you heard of the General of the Manchu rebelling? He was still rebelling in the Land of Dragon. How did his luck become like this … Why didn't the heavens open their eyes! "

Countless of veterans trembled as they stood at the checkpoint, praying that the Hun Chun would not attack them crazily, and that their own army should not be sent to the north to fight against the rebellion.

He overestimated the administrative efficiency of the Qing Dynasty and also underestimated the control the Qing Dynasty had over the army. After the news of the Hun Chun's mutiny spread to the Shengjing, other than the local garrison troops acting on their own to increase defense, the rest were the officials from the whole province who began to distribute supplies.

Qing Dynasty was a Military groups that started out as a country. They naturally had the desire to control the army, and they were also very willing to study the history of the Chinese people, the cycle of the rise and fall of the Central Plains Empire.

Of course, the Manchu knew how terrifying it would be if the army was controlled by private people. Not only did they have to control the Chinese to capture military power, the Manchu also had to be wary of capturing military power.

The Eight Banners were originally a military alliance, and Ai Xin Luo was the strongest of them all.

In the early Qing Dynasty, the political negotiations between the eight kings extended into a long period of time. In the end, it was actually the descendants of Nur Ha Chi, Kang Xi, Yongzheng and dryad who violated the ancestral system and obtained the centralized power of the Han people.

Throughout the entire history of the Qing Dynasty, there had always been people who wanted to restore their ancestors' rule. To break through a family's dictatorship, they had almost become a ghost in the Manchu dynasty. As long as the imperial authority was weaker, this ghost would jump out and cause a ruckus.

As a result, the more charming the spirit, the stricter the court's control over the army. If the local military officials did not receive orders from the court, then it would be a capital offense.

The group of hot pot ants in Shengjing City did not have the rights to make a move against the whole province's army. Not only did they not have the authority, they did not have the guts.

"Anyway, Shengjing and Beijing have sent a telegram, thanks to Qing San Ye's ability, I only now understand that a telegram is a good thing, if you encounter something like this you can just push it to Beijing, and let them sit in the dust …"

This was what all the officials of Shengjing thought in their hearts. Doing more wrong was their belief in life.

However, it was within their purview to transfer the materials and prepare for battle. All of Liaoning's armoury s, granaries, horse material Grounds, relay stations... All sorts of organizations began to get busy.

Inventory inventory, transfer account, flat deficit, false loss... Then they would take the food from the east to the west, and the wood from the west to the north. Whether it was meaningful work or not, at least the work was done.

As long as they got busy, these people would benefit from this. The many years of corruption could finally be resolved while the accounts were in a mess. There were even some granaries that were mysteriously on fire.

The frightened official directly slammed the dung bucket into Hun Chun's body. "It's Hun Chun's Rangers! The Hun Chun sent their elites to kill us, and have our small troops take advantage of the fact that we were not prepared to charge in, to prevent fire.

His mouth was growing on him, so he could say whatever he wanted. In fact, the old soldiers in the storehouse already knew everything. The barns were all empty, and the food had long since been stolen and sold by the officers.

This fire was also lit by them. It was only burning straw!

When the later generations of Historian saw this, they couldn't help but sigh. The corruption in the late Qing was really rotten to the core, such a world-shocking event, could actually turn into a great opportunity for officials to embezzle. It was truly amazing.
