Chapter 25 The 25th Chapter of the League Under the City Qingfu Disgraces His Life and Flees for Thousands of Miles Agui Returns to Beijing

The coach signed a peace treaty with the enemy, but Agui and Le Min were kept in the dark.They have found out that Sha Luoben's food, gold and silver are all on the cliff, but because the terrain is too dangerous, several small attacks have failed, so they have to move eastward, planning to attack from the side.But he was temporarily blinded by Sha Luoben's torch suspicion.After receiving orders from Zhang Guangsi and Zheng Wenhuan for rapid reinforcements, they had no choice but to continue moving eastward.It wasn't until the exchange of fire with Sha Luoben's sniper troops that he really understood the intention of Sha Luoben's move. When the Qing soldiers seized the territory, he surrounded Xiao Jinchuan's commander's camp and prepared to fight to the death!They feigned an attack several times, and Nasha Luoben's troops were really brave and good at fighting, and they were all blocked back by their heads.After receiving death orders for "reinforcement" one after another, he suddenly lost contact with Xiao Jinchuan, and all the soldiers sent to deliver the letter were blocked back.The atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense.The troops were blocked in the east of the scraping cliff fifty miles west of Xiaojinchuan, and the two of them were very anxious, as if their hearts and lungs had been soaked in boiling water, shrinking and tightening.Agui is a very cautious and meticulous person. He has never fought such a large group battle, and he doesn't know the enemy's reality. While ordering the troops to gather closer to his military tent, he ordered the guerrilla superiors to come to discuss matters.Said to Le Min, who was so anxious that his face turned pale: "Let's gather into fists first. Let's discuss the best strategy and just go for it. Don't worry, you came here on your own initiative, but there is something wrong. Ah Gui doesn't want you Take responsibility!"

"You underestimate Le Min too much." Le Min let out a breath, and said melancholy, "I'm in a hurry. I think Zhang Guangsi is in a daze. How did he direct this!" The two of them were talking, the forwards and guards, the guerrillas Hailancha and Zhaohui, had already arrived, and there were three or four leaders behind him, all of whom walked into his cowhide tent with gloomy faces.Hai Lancha was also a manchurian relative and noble son sent by Qianlong to study military affairs in the army. He was about the same age as Zhaohui, only twenty-five or sixteen. When he was young and full of vigor, he said as soon as he entered the door: "General Agui! We can't delay now." We have to help Zhang Guangsi and Zheng Wenhuan, these two wretches, get out of danger! I looked carefully, and the army that sniped us was no more than a thousand people at most. Marching at night with torches, we can too!"

"Everyone sit down on the floor." Agui said.The light of the torch flickered on his young and handsome face, "Now, our situation is very bad. The confluence of the South Route Army cannot be expected at all, and the North Route Army will take at least six or seven days to reach Xiaojinchuan. Our three thousand are old and weak The soldiers went deep into the hinterland of Jinchuan for nearly 20 days, and there was not much food. The commander was besieged by Sha Luoben in Xiaojinchuan, and the situation is unknown."He briefly explained the situation, and then said: "Now there are three measures, please help me make a decision, the success or failure is my responsibility. One is what Brother Hai said, regardless of everything, rush to rescue Xiao Jinchuan. The advantage is that we don't If you can break the siege of Jinchuan in violation of the general order, you will have a great contribution. The disadvantage is that the road is far away, unfamiliar, and there are powerful enemies sniping. Another way is to attack the scraping ear cliff and kick off Shaluoben's important grain storage area. Shaluoben We have to come back to rescue the siege. In case Xiaojinchuan falls, we have the capital to negotiate peace. The advantage of this one is that it is easy to do, but the disadvantage is that it takes the risk of violating orders; Coach Xiao Jinchuan led the battalion to break out in my direction. The advantage is that it is easy to preserve strength, and it is easy to explain to the coach. The downside is that if Jinchuan fails to break through, our army will become a lone army, and the situation will be even more difficult."

What he said was simple and clear, and he made things clear all at once, both plain and earnest, and everyone secretly admired him.Hai Lancha thought for a while, and said: "I agree with the second!" Le Min sucked his lips and said, "If you want to meet a wise coach, the second doesn't matter. A Qingfu and a General Zhang are both selfish. Seeing our meritorious deeds without their general order, I am afraid that talking about right and wrong is really indispensable." Ah Gui sighed: "If it is really fair, I shouldn't have sent these three thousand old and weak soldiers deep into the enemy's rear. Who told me that I am not Zhang Da. What about the people the general brought up with his own hands?"

"I think the second plan is also better!" Zhaohui said, "I don't care about future lawsuits now. The Wei Wei is to save Zhao, and the reinforcements are also to save Zhao. The purpose is not against his general order. I would like to fight with Ah Gui. The generals share the honor and disgrace!" Ah Gui sat on the ground with the scabbard in her hand, without making a sound. Several tent leaders bowed their heads and pondered for a while, and they all felt that the second strategy was the most feasible, and they all said: "Kick off Sha Luoben's rear camp, and we will stand still. This is to rescue the general and cure us. What crime?"

"Okay!" Agui clasped his hands together and said, "That's it. I looked at the terrain, and it's much better to attack the scraping ear cliff from the east foot than the south foot. The guards on the scraping ear cliff are old and weak women and children. , as well as gold and silver treasures, order the brothers to return the food to the public after they are captured, and take the gold and silver freely, and no one is allowed to hurt anyone, no one is allowed to insult women, and anyone who violates the order will be killed without mercy!" The torch light reflected his side, One of his eyes was shining brightly, while the other was as dark as a dry well, "Leaded by brother Le Min, the team is still feinting to the east, giving the enemy the illusion that we are still approaching Little Jinchuan. After taking the scraping ear cliff, the false attack will become a real attack, and after five drums, it must be shot down, and the mountain will be lit as a sign!" He waved his hand, and everyone retreated.

Agui's plan of avoiding the real and making false, encircling Wei and saving Zhao went extremely smoothly.Just after a while, Sha Luoben received an emergency report, and Sha Erya fell.Capture the scraping cliff, and lead 2,000 troops to storm Xiaojinchuan East Road.Sha Luoben fell into a dilemma.Qingfu and Zhang Guangsi are still in their dreams. "Let's go back to fight Erya!" Ye Danka rolled his sleeves and shouted, "The Rinco Living Buddha has fallen into the hands of the enemy, and he will not be able to speak to the Dalai Lama and the Panchen Lama in the future!" Old Sangcuo said, "Let's hurry up!" Defeat Xiao Jinchuan, capture Qingfu, Zhang Guangsi and others alive, and then replace them with them. Now that we return to the army, if we can't take down Erya, we will be attacked on both sides."

Sha Luoben walked around the tent a few times with her hands behind her back, stopped abruptly, and said, "It is definitely not possible to return the soldiers to take back Shaerya. It is also impossible to attack Xiaojinchuan by force." Seeing that everyone was staring at him in surprise, Sha Luoben He added: "To make it clear, we are forced to defend ourselves in this battle to bring about peace in Jinchuan! Annihilating Zhang Guangsi can be done yesterday, but Bogda Khan will be angered. He will send another Li Guangsi and Wang Guangsi We are unable to deal with the imperial court for a long time... This Ah Gui is very good at fighting. His soldiers entered my hinterland and pulled out dozens of stockades, without any loss in strength. If we lose in Xiaojinchuan, we may be climbing snowy mountains at this moment Run for your life! If we attack back, his 3,000 troops will tighten up their defenses on the scraping cliff, and Zhang Guangsi will attack again from behind, this battle will be difficult to fight..." He spoke eloquently, and everyone admired him, but at the moment he could not return What should I do if I can't attack Zhang Guangsi's Dazhai to save Sha Erya?Everyone was wondering, Sha Luoben had already made up his mind, waved his arms, and said: "This way - the troops move westward, blocking Agui's troops, remember, as long as you strictly guard, don't waste your strength, and block the news, Here I will personally go to Zhang Guangsi Dazhai to make peace with him!"

"What if Zhang Guangsi wants to detain you?" someone asked. "He doesn't dare," Sha Luoben smiled slyly. "Now he's at the end of his rope, and he's eager to make peace with me...Of course, I have other options—unless he's crazy, he doesn't dare to lay hands on me. I told You, no one understands the Han people better than me!" "What if he refuses to make peace and agree to our peace agreement?" "Then I have no choice but to eat the enemies of Xiaojinchuan first, and then return to the west to scrape the ear cliff. Agui's army went deep into my hinterland, and without a commander, I had to flee to Zhandu by going to Jinshan!"

In this way, Sha Luoben's strategy was finalized. Later, Sha Luoben went to the Qing camp alone to negotiate a peace, coerced Zhang Guangsi, and Qing Fu signed the peace agreement. Three days later, Zhang Guangsi's tent was withdrawn to Dawei, and he had a secret discussion with Qingfu overnight. On the second day, he ordered the South Route Army to camp on the spot, and the North Route Army also withdrew from Xiaojinchuan to rectify in the Caoba area.He also painstakingly wrote a memorial to Qianlong, saying, "I have seized the big and small Jinchuan, Bisha Luoben, etc., and have nowhere to go. I came to the camp to beg for surrender in person, with tears of regret and sincere words. I would like to repay with my life. I beg the imperial court not to kill the Yi people in Jinchuan. The ministers and others think that our emperor is benevolent and virtuous, and the conquest of Jinchuan is a peaceful place. Rule, Li Li Fuque's heart can be seen in words and expressions. Ministers and others discussed the crime of disturbing the local area, and still used the pacification envoy to take over the Jinchuan chieftain..." It was quite difficult to speak for the official who died in the battle, thinking about it For a long time, Ren Ju and Mai Guoliang were regarded as "disobedient to the water and soil, and died of miasma and disease", and Meng Chen "was caught by the arrows and died without treatment".Only Agui and Le Min couldn't dismiss them, both of them lost in thought.

"It's really unprecedented in my life to do such a thing." Zhang Guangsi had a self-deprecating smile on his face. It should be the head of the owl. Don’t forget about it, they are the only troops that entered Jinchuan with the least damage. I heard that they took down the scraping ear cliff..." He seemed to have a sour green apricot in his mouth, and the wrinkles on his face were gathered together place.Qingfu laughed dryly, and said: "These two people can only do it by marching, and it will be settled once and for all. The general is in trouble, and he will do nothing to save him. If he can do it, we can do it too. We can't make any noise about this matter. One is to call Sha Luo Ben Return the cannon to us as soon as possible, and the second is to immediately remove Lemin and Agui's military power, temporarily assign Hailancha and Zhaohui to lead the troops, and Dawei listens to orders!" Seeing Zhang Guangsi nodding and speechless, Qingfu thought about it and wrote one stroke at a time road: Agui and Le Min were greedy for merit, and led three thousand troops deep into the scraping ear cliff. They stayed away alone. The enemy is besieged; cover too far, fear the enemy in the west of Xiaojinchuan, dare not go east to join the main force, The battle of Dajinchuan narrowly missed the fighter.It seems that this fear of death and greed for life is beyond the expectation of the ministers, It also hurts the sage's knowledge of people.In order to warn the whole army, they have come to the camp by themselves within a time limit, so they can do it immediately. Rectify the law and suppress military discipline.For the rest of the meritorious service, the narration will be discussed later.After finishing writing, he said: "Please take a look at it, General." Zhang Guangsi took it over and looked at it, suddenly became a little upset, applied the seal with a pale face, and said: "Send it!" Agui and Le Min fell into a desperate situation. Qingfu and Zhang Guangsi lied about the military situation and pretended to be defeated to claim credit for their memorials to Beijing. Qianlong had already left Beijing for half a month on tour.Zhang Tingyu, Ertai and Fu Heng, who stayed in Beijing, passed on the scriptures, and they all felt that the words in it were ambiguous and exaggerated, and there were many places where they couldn't justify themselves.But for such an important military and state affairs, the Military Aircraft Department cannot refute without authorization. Several people discussed it and sent the original book in a yellow box to the governor's office in Jinan, and the governor Yue Jun quickly transferred it to the emperor's palace. The yamen has been changed into a palace—because Qianlong's tour is a top-secret operation, the outside of the yellow box is wrapped with red satin to prevent discerning people from seeing through.Yue Jun had already handed over the governor's government affairs to the Shandong Fantai, and "sitting in the government office" every day was just a pretense for everyone to see, and he was not allowed to meet Qianlong at will.Seeing such a big yellow box coming, I also felt that it was rare, so I hurriedly carried it to the signing room to see Neqin. "Ne Zhongtang is not here." The eunuch Wang Xin who received him was very polite. He greeted Qian'er, offered tea, and said with a smile: "Ne Zhongtang and Ji Xiaojun have gone to the post house to pick up the master. If something happened to Yue Zhongcheng Busy, hurry to go first; if you have nothing to do, wait here first, the master will definitely summon you when he comes back." Yue Jun's eyes jumped, he leaned forward in the chair, and said: "Your Majesty—isn't you in Jinan? Wang Xin answered with a smile, and said, "The emperor went out on the second day of solving the case in Handan, and the emperor was happy! This time he came back to Shandong, and the emperor was happy all the way! He also said that Yue Jun was a general, so he knew politics so well Well, if the charity warehouse is set up well, and the official treasury is not empty, the disaster relief will be handy, so it can be seen that being an official only pays attention to the word "careful"--my lord, isn't this your compliment?" When Yue Jun came to Shandong from Qianlong, he was always uneasy, afraid of picking out his own mistakes, but he couldn't figure out the truth. Hearing Wang Xin's words, he fell to the ground like a stone.I touched my sleeves, and there were several bank notes inside. I took out one, but it was a big ticket of five hundred taels, and it was not easy to change it. It's easy, take this money and use it to make up for the family." Wang Xin saw the big banknote at a glance, beamed with joy, took it with both hands and stuffed it into the bootleaf, and thanked him for the reward.Then he said in a low voice: "Master, there is some good news——Huang Zice Ling Allahbu and so on are making trouble in Khalkha in the west. The Ministry of War has proposed a few people to serve as governors in Ganshan, but the master is not satisfied. He told Mr. Fu Liu in Beijing to go and see Mr. Yue Zhongqi to see if he could hold on. It seems that it is only a matter of time before your old man gets up—" He pretended to look around mysteriously, the public The duck's voice was even lower, "Let me tell you a letter, the master went to Binxian County in a low service, and said that half of the county had a bumper harvest, and the other half was plagued by locusts. You can see both - come back today! Na Zhongtang and Ji Xiao The military plane said that he would go to Jining to inspect, complaining that the post roads in Shandong were in disrepair, and the master was not happy, saying what kind of food did Fantai serve? He also said that Yue Jun should also ask..." As he was speaking, he saw the guard Su Lun He brought two little guards into the gate of the ceremony, hurriedly stepped back and stood upright, and said: "Be careful, the Lord Long Live is back!" Yue Jun's spirit shook, and he stood up hastily. He was dressed in a half-worn indigo city cloth robe.Standing silently at the door of the instrument with chest out, it was only after the second time that Qianlong was in front, followed by Neqin and Ji Yun in official robes.Yue Jun slapped his horseshoe sleeves "slapped", knelt under the dripping eaves, and said: "Slave Yue Jun kneels and waits for the holy driver, master Shengan!" "Forget it." Qianlong waved his hand.Qianlong entered the hall and sat down. He picked up the tea on the table and drank it. He wanted to drink it up, but he glanced at the courtiers around him and put down the cup.Wang Xin knew that he was thirsty, so he hurried outside to call for watermelon and ice cubes.Only then did Qianlong order: "Call Yue Jun in." "tie!" Yue Jun hurriedly walked in, saluted, and when he peeked at Qianlong, he was wearing a moon-white tribute silk gown, a crimson belt around his waist, and a pair of punched mille-soled shoes, white The socks were stained with dust and turned gray, it was obvious that they had just returned from a long journey.Yue Jun kowtowed again and said, "Master is tanned and cleared up. This is because the slave will not wait for you. The ground in Shandong is hot, which is actually similar to Beijing. If the master can't stand it, the slave is willing to accompany the master to Laoshan to escape the summer heat... " "I just came back from Laoshan, and he wants me to go to Laoshan again." Qianlong smiled and said to Neqin, "It doesn't matter to me this trip, but you two are exhausted!" Only then did Yue Jun know that Qianlong had gone to Jimo Even Wang Xin's letter is not allowed.He laughed and said: "Laoshan Taoist Temple is a summer resort, but the journey is too far, and the days are shorter, but it is more tiring. It is more than a thousand miles back and forth. In this hot day, the master has really suffered." If I want to escape the summer heat, I don’t come to Shandong; if I want to see scenic spots, I would like to travel to the south of the Yangtze River in spring. During the half month away from Jinan, I even took a detour to Bin County!” Seeing Yue Jun handing over the yellow box, Ji Yun hurried over and forwarded it up, and said with a smile: "This is an urgent matter, master, don't be busy looking at it. Let's take a break and talk about it with some snacks, watermelon or something. To be honest This time, the slave came out with his master, and he also has a heart to visit. Shandong Taishan, Penglai, Confucius Temple, Laoshan, Yantai, Qingdao are all famous places in the world. Who doesn’t want to see it? Who knows that even Daming Lake in Jinan can’t be idling. I don’t have time to drink a bowl of Baotu Spring tea, so it’s a great pity to come to Shandong!” Qianlong carefully removed the yellow seal on the box, saw Yue Jun was still kneeling, and said with a smile: “Get up !——You don’t need to have children like this. You have seen all the famous rivers in the world, so you can be Xu Xiake, why go to the military plane? There are many regrets in life!” Then he opened and read the memorial.After seeing the title, Qianlong smiled with satisfaction, and said, "Qingfu's characters are getting more and more popular! Jinchuan's business has been settled..." Several people were relieved to hear that it was Jinchuan's victory, and they stood beside Qianlong with smiles and watched him.But the smile on Qianlong's face gradually froze. He looked at the book for a while, raised his face to think about it, then read it again, lowered his head and meditated, and turned back to a page or two from time to time for comparison.When it was over, he casually put the brochure on the table, sipped absently while holding a teacup without saying a word, and said to Neqin: "Both you and Ji Yun read this brochure, I'm a little bit suspicious!" Then he turned his face to Yue Jun and said: "I'm just taking a quick look at the flowers this time, and I haven't had time to examine your official administration. But judging by the water transport, it is still smooth from Dezhou, Shandong to the entry point of Zhili. The disaster relief is good, and there is still a lot of food in the warehouse. But I have seen along the way. The crops The stalks are all eaten by insects, burning firewood for the winter is a big deal, and there is also fodder for cattle, horses, donkeys and mules, what are you going to do?" "Returning to the emperor," Yue Jun said with a bow, "Last year in Shandong, there was a big harvest in the east, but a disaster in the west. Both the harvest and the disaster have not been seen for a hundred years. The dispatch and relief have used up the grain in the province, and bought it from the counties in Linhai. A little more, according to half a catty of coarse grains per person per day, the whole province will not starve to death this year. The emperor sent all the new grains to Shandong, which just happened to be stored in the warehouse. In this way, it is actually an ordinary year here for the slaves, and it is not very difficult. To burn firewood and forage during the winter, the slaves have contacted Zhili, Henan, Anhui, and Jiangnan provinces, and they will buy them at local official prices. According to the daily firewood per person and four catties of forage, you can spend it safely Next year's spring famine - this money slave intends not to use the treasury silver, please give grace to the emperor. Shandong this year's salt tax silver will not be used by officials, it will be used by the province. The slave will have more money. Officials in Shandong have been paid half salary since last winter. There are too many things to do and hard work, so there should be more subsidies. The slaves are not afraid of getting a bad name-now there are slogans in the officialdom, saying that the slaves are "Yue Bopi Zhongcheng", and that the slaves are after military generals. Love money is not afraid of death, it is Yue Fei's Disrespectful descendants—officials are too poor, compared with other provinces, they don’t want to work in Shandong, and a slave like a governor doesn’t taste good, does he?” Before he finished speaking, everyone laughed, and Qianlong said: "It's so pitiful. Ji Yun wrote a letter to Fu Heng, asking him to send it to the Shanhaiguan Salt Administration." Ji Yun hurriedly smiled and bowed. Said: "Yes!" Yue Jun went on to say: "After all, our Shandong suffered a disaster, and now the land is selling cheaply. In the Huainan area, one mu of land can be sold for four hundred taels, and some here are only sold for more than thirty. Two, if there are even less ten taels, you can buy one mu of land! Rich owners from Jiangsu and Zhejiang flocked to Shandong to buy land. The servants have already issued a notice: All people from other provinces who come to buy land will be divided into uncultivated and mature land, and an additional 1 mu will be levied. The tax of 100 to 300 taels was reduced a bit. But this way, the people in the province could not sell their land, so they had to flee from famine. Now there are many refugees gathered in Shan County, most of them are extremely poor, and the slaves are very worried about this. .Even wealthy families in this province are eager to try to increase the land rent and save money to buy land. The slaves really have nothing to do. They also want to ask for an order to suspend the sale of land for one year. I wonder if the emperor will allow it?" "I'm afraid not." Qianlong listened very seriously, shook his head slightly and said: "You are very reluctant to order to restrict the purchase of land by landlords in other provinces. You must know that if you don't allow him to sell, he can't afford to plant, and you can't do anything if you donate rations and seed grain." He has cattle, horses and farm implements, and if he donates them this year, he won’t be able to help them next year. There is a class of rogues, who are lazy and eat when they are fed, and ask for more after eating. This is a bottomless pit that will never be filled. He has to go to flee famine and beg for food. As long as he is not a thief For robbers, for rebellion. In which dynasty, what year, what month did not freeze and starve to death? I see that you are also a Bodhisattva. Why don't you think that the world is like this everywhere. Within three generations, no one can do it..." He sighed with emotion, picked up a piece of watermelon and took a bite carefully, and said: "However, the land rent should be restricted, and the land should be measured. It's a matter of your power as a big official in the frontier. You can do it boldly. Some rich and unkind big owners are stricter when collecting taxes-don't cause trouble-and always persuade them to donate money to do some good deeds. Land annexation can be delayed. It’s just that you can’t force it, understand?” Qianlong talked at length about the pros and cons of land rent and donation, plus his experience in reading memorials in the past.Yue Jun was enlightened when he heard it, and everyone admired him, Yue Jun was upright.Said: "The slave was going to force it. After listening to the master's instruction, he has understood. The slave wants to call the owners of more than 100 hectares of land in the whole province. The government and roads will handle the land from 30 to 50 hectares, and the county will handle the land of more than 10 hectares. There is a decree in the hierarchical meeting to persuade the land rent to be reduced. This will be done immediately after Shengjia returns to Beijing, and then there will be a report. Just now the master said that the water transportation is smooth, but in fact, the water transportation in Shandong is only smooth. At the junction with Henan and Zhili, due to unclear boundaries and unclear dredging responsibilities, some areas are blocked by silt. There are also post roads, which are even more important. Nowadays, there is smoke all the way for horse racing in dry weather, and it is difficult to drive in mud in rainy days. This is not possible. The crops have been harvested this autumn, and the counties and townships are required to pay for repairs by section. It is a rule of law to run a hundred miles an hour. Although the slaves are descendants of generals, they do not want to fall behind the governors of other provinces!" "Okay, okay!" Qianlong was very appreciative, patted the back of the chair and said, "Shi Lang has a son Shi Shilun, who is a famous minister in the hands of Lord Shizong, and Yue Zhongqi has a son Yue Jun. I hope you can do it yourself!" He was going to criticize Shandong Post Road, So far, I didn’t mention this matter anymore, and ordered all the courtiers here to take a piece of ice to keep cool, and said: "The solidity of the country is not in danger. Therefore, starting from the holy ancestor, the imperial court stopped repairing the Great Wall and used the money for the economy. In terms of road, this is much more cost-effective. The folk customs in Shandong are strong, and it is a place where green forests gather. After it is cured here, several provinces and counties in the north can be stable. A former old man, Yu Jackie Chan, was a famous minister. He built high walls on both sides of the post road to prevent The robber robs Daoer; the latter is called Li Wei, who is also an expert in controlling thieves. His method of using thieves to control thieves is also quite effective. But looking at the actions of the two of them, they are both treating the symptoms but not the root cause. A donation, One lawsuit, one enlightenment, and the three at the same time, it is called benevolence-based, and officials follow each other. If there is no bad governance, the hostility will be digested. "Yizhihua" ran around in Shandong, Zhili, and Shanxi. Stop, it seems accidental, but it is actually related to the court's rule of benevolence, filial piety and leniency." Then he ordered Wang Yi beside him: "Take the painting by Li Weixian and show it to Yue Jun." Wang Yi hurriedly responded, took down a painting scroll from the top of the signing room cabinet, and unfolded the case.Yue Jun and Neqin hurriedly came over to look at it, but it was a vertical scroll, the color had already darkened, and the edges were burnt yellow and crisp, as if it had been burnt by fire.The screen is extremely concise, it says: Chicks waiting to be fed Under the densely packed inscriptions, a group of young chicks are painted.On the upper right, a woman is holding a big thick bowl in her hand. In the lower right corner, only two little feet wrapped in leggings are exposed. Dozens of chickens are all fluffy, some have rhombus-shaped yellow mouths, and some are rolling on the ground. The earth bathed on the ground, some had their pointed mouths upward, some flapped their wings on tiptoe, and some stumbled and ran from a distance, with pairs of small eyes staring at the big bowl of millet, they were really pitiful and cute.Everyone looked at the painting and savored the deep meaning of Qianlong. They were solemn at first, and then gradually became sad. "If you don't feed them, they will starve to death." Qianlong said after a long time: "This is the first thought in my heart when I saw this painting. Even if they can't rebel, wouldn't it hurt humanity? I think, go back to Beijing Then let the Ministry of Internal Affairs copy dozens of copies and distribute them to the governors of the provinces..." He coughed lightly and said nothing. Both Neqin and Ji Yun had already finished reading the memorials of Qingfu and Zhang Guangsi, and while following the paintings, they were still thinking about this important event.Seeing Qianlong's sentimentality, Naqin said cautiously: "Master, I'm really tired today, you haven't eaten yet! Ask Yue Jun to prepare the meal, master take a bath and rest, how about you talk refreshedly?" Then, he hurriedly resigned, and while inviting people to serve Qianlong, he also issued a sign to call the vassal chief to come to the Yamen, arranging for Qianlong not to mention Shandong's government affairs. Due to the exhaustion of the journey, Qianlong slept for more than an hour before getting up, shaved his head again, and immediately looked much more energetic.Walking into the signing room, seeing that Neqin and Ji Yun were already waiting inside, while ordering to be excused, he sat down and asked, "Look at Qingfu's book, what do you think?" "My servant, it looks like Qingfu and Zhang Guangsi have won the battle." Neqin said, "But it definitely doesn't look like a big victory, let alone a complete victory. Because the emperor has repeatedly imposed strict orders, Sha Luo must rush to tie up the camp. Then ask for a decree to decide, or release the capital and punish the crime, or give grace. How can it be brought over with a single stroke? Besides, the army finally captured the Jinchuan and Jinchuan, why they retreated for no reason, it is incredible! The slave thought it should be Continue to refute and see how they respond." Ji Yun was addicted to smoking, rubbed his chin with his hands, and said: "I see, it seems that Qingfu and the others won a small battle, and Sha Luoben and the court are perfunctory. Hug it It’s a mind that calms things down. This——if you don’t accept Sha Luoben, you’ll retreat. How will you deal with the rest of the matter? I’m a slave, can you order Qiandu, take the army’s salary to work in the army, and investigate on the ground what’s going on. Leave So far away, the servant always feels that it is not on the ground." Qianlong looked at the clumps of trees in the courtyard of the governor's yamen, and refused to look away for a long time. He breathed a sigh of relief from his dantian, and said: "Accordingly, it should be true that Sha Luo rushed to the camp to ask for peace. How dare you not?" Requesting an order to withdraw from Jinchuan City? It is difficult to obey the situation and the reason! This battle cost more than one million taels of silver, and killed the chief soldier, the general, and the guerrilla! Ah Gui is my confidant, Le Min is the number one scholar. Since they won the battle, they are guilty. They should be locked up and sent to Beijing to punish them. If they say anything, they will be killed. To be honest, after seeing such a "good news", I was first happy, then suspicious, and thought about it carefully. Thinking about it, I was surprised, and also felt a little strange. I thought, I will adopt both of your suggestions, but I will ignore them for now. You should write letters to Qingfu, Zhang Guangsi, and Qian Du, and listen to their responses. ’” Still going on, Wang Ren came in and bowed to report, “Yue Jun begs to see the master.” "We're discussing things now, ask him to come in tomorrow morning." "He said there was an urgent matter. He said that Da Jinchuan came back and a fleeing general named Agui—" He wanted to continue talking, but when he saw Qianlong stand up abruptly, he flinched in fright and stopped talking. "He said his name is Agui, so what about Le Min? They are going to the hinterland of Jinchuan together!" "He didn't mention Le Min, and the servant didn't dare to ask." The room suddenly became dead silent, and Ji Yun said: "Master, no matter what, let's see each other first and ask Yue Jun to pass him in. Some things are not good to spread to the province. What should Yue Jun do? I'd better be busy with him." Can it be done?" Qianlong nodded and said, "Tell him to come in!" Suddenly, an unlucky feeling came over his heart. Agui was brought in by a young Sula eunuch.He looked really miserable, his braids hadn't been combed for a long time, and they were twisted together like ropes with sweat, his hair was disheveled on his forehead, his beard was more than an inch long, his face was dark, and there was a knife wound on his left cheek , still wearing cowhide boots on a hot day, with a big hole already open, wearing a filthy gray poplin robe, walking like drunk, staggering and unable to keep his feet steady.He stepped into the threshold with difficulty, almost tripped, and knelt on the ground, suppressing the extreme excitement in his heart, coughing, panting for a few breaths, and calling out "Master" hoarsely, but he couldn't restrain himself , Put the horn and Tao burst into tears! "Be careful about being impolite before the king!" Naqin saw Qianlong's blank face in a daze, and said from the side: "Please see the master in such a state, what kind of dignity is it?!" The adult blamed it.A defeated general, this slave's appearance is really embarrassing to the master..." Agui stopped crying, and said with a miserable face. Tears welled up in his eyes, "The slave has traveled three thousand miles to see the master, I just hope the master can know the truth, Even death... also rest in peace Qianlong exchanged glances with Neqin and Ji Yun, and said gloomyly: "You claim to be a defeated general, but you are actually worse than a defeated general. You are a mediocre general who delayed the military plan and did not follow the general's order, and almost caused Jinchuan to lose! How dare you evade Military law, escape to see me? I am about to congratulate Zhang Guangsi and Qing Fu on their victory, and I will send you back to Fa-rectification!" "Your Majesty..." Agui's whole body was shaking violently, "You...you want to congratulate Qingfu and Zhang Guangsi for their achievements?" "That's right! The great victory in Jinchuan, Sha Luo rushed to surrender. Of course, meritorious deeds must be rewarded, and officers who violate orders must be dealt with according to the rules!" Agui's face was green and gloomy, she crawled forward and knelt down two steps, raised her head and wept, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty...Qingfu and Zhang Guangsi were besieged by Sha Luoben, the commander's camp was lost, food and grass were looted, and soldiers and horses were damaged three times." They were forced to make an alliance with the enemy under the city. They deceived you so hard!" He cried and said, comparing his mouth and hands, and drawing the situation map of the Battle of Jinchuan with his rough hands trembling on the ground, it was enough It took half an hour to clarify the matter, and I couldn't restrain myself and let out a loud voice: "Good emperor, good master... deep into Jinchuan, the army suffered heavy casualties everywhere, and all the red cannons of our army fell into Shaluo The hand of running... Only our team has fewer casualties. This is not because slaves can be patient, one is relying on the master's blessing, and the other is that the slaves are willing to discuss with their subordinates and handle military affairs carefully——Zhang Guangsi and the others want to kill The purpose of this slave is to silence the emperor and keep it from the emperor forever. Huh... this slave has suffered a lot..." Qianlong, Neqin, and Ji Yun were all dumbfounded!Seeing Qingfu's and Zhang Guangsi's excerpts were contradictory and stammering, they thought that the results of the battle were not satisfactory, and they wanted to cover up the matter with a small victory for a great achievement.Unexpectedly, he was defeated in a big battle, and even pretended to be credited!Qianlong's face was red and blue for a while, and his hands were sweating. He suddenly grabbed the teacup in a gaffe, sucked down the herbal tea, gritted his teeth and said with a grin: "You can't believe it, I don't believe it!" He suddenly raised his voice: "Le Min, where is Le Min?! Why didn't he come? See me? Ren Ju was martyred, Zhang Xing died in battle! Why are Qing Fu and Zhang Guangsi alive?" Shocking: "I will not punish the crime of defeat, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, I will not punish the crime-I will punish them for the crime of deceiving the emperor-Wang Xin!" "The slave... is here!" "You take people to Sichuan immediately, Suna Qingfu, Zhang Guangsi, and Zheng Wenhuan to Beijing—no, immediately kill these people on the spot!" "tie……" Wang Xin's face was as white as white, and he beat Qian'er again and got up and left. Ah Gui waved his hand and said, "Slow!" He took two steps forward on his knees, and said again: "Master, calm down, calm down... just now, the slaves said it, some of them were seen with their own eyes. , Some just heard about it, and asked the master to find out and deal with it. Hearing the slave's words to kill them, he may not be convinced... Now that Le Min has fled to Yunnan, waiting for the slave's letter from Qian Du, he should also be called to the master's eyes Ask to understand..." "Hmm..." Qianlong took a heavy breath, waking up from his rage.He suddenly felt weak and weak, and sat down slumped on the chair. After a long time, he said: "Ji Shan is going to Dajinchuan, and we can find out the truth, and we can do things cheaply!" He pondered and said: "Ji Shan is Zhang Guangsi's old subordinate, and his prestige is there, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to restrain him. Can you send Qian Du to work in the army? The master knows Qian Du, is smart and capable, and the master personally brought him up..." "Then it's called Qian Du." I'm going to work in the army," Qianlong said gloomyly: "If Ah Gui's report is true, tell him to lock him up on the spot and listen to my order—Ah Gui is not suitable to be here, so tell him to go back to Beijing and wait for investigation in Dali Temple!" After Ah Gui withdrew, the three monarchs and ministers faced each other silently, unable to find a topic for a while.After a while, Ji Yun smiled and said: "Master, you are too anxious. I listened carefully, and the strength of our army was not seriously damaged. What is abominable is that Qingfu and Zhang Guangsi's crime of deceiving the king is unforgivable. In a corner of Jinchuan, Shaluo Ben has no rebellious heart, but just wants to be safe. The master wants to plow the court and sweep the hole, and another general will go to suppress him. The master wants to spare him, just like walking on a stone and hurting his feet. Just avoid him. That loach won't be able to turn over the big waves!" "Neqin, you go and replace Qingfu and Zhang Guangsi." Qianlong thought about it and made up his mind, "Talk about your plan tonight. You go back to Beijing first. Once Qian Du reports the truth, you will follow the order and leave immediately." !" "tie!" Naqin was excited for a while, and replied loudly.He was vying for this job, but he didn't think it would be so easy to get it, but then he thought about the situation that Agui just said, a dark cloud clouded his mind for some reason, and after thinking about it, he said: "I will try my best to do it! " Seeing Qianlong frowning, looking worried and puzzled, Ji Yun asked: "Your Majesty, we were originally scheduled to go to Lunan tomorrow and then return to Beijing. Shall we go to Lunan?" "Go!" Qianlong stretched his brows and said, "Don't change the things that are settled."
