Chapter 95: Decisive Battle in the Forbidden City Part 8: Miao Guards
Delentai heard this and shouted softly: "Only you and I know about this, do you know?"
The guard was so nervous that he quickly replied: "Yu"
Delentai returned to the room and carefully checked the wax balls. Seeing that it was not opened, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. After opening it, a ball of paper appeared inside. After flattening it, he frowned.
....
That night, Asina outside the city received the news.
"If I want me to work, I must rescue my two children in Chengdu"
Asana looked at it and asked Zhou Jixun: "Do you have a way?"
Zhou Jixun said: "After Emperor Qianlong came to Chengdu, he brought a large number of bannermen soldiers and family members. They not only filled the whole city, but also occupied all the houses of wealthy families in the outer city according to the regulations of bannermen. Of course, in order not to cause trouble, they either appointed an official or provided some housing fees symbolically."
"The wealthy families outside the city are all Han people, either officials or wealthy merchants. Officials are generally promoted to the next level, and wealthy merchants have been granted a false title of fifth rank or above, which they are eager to do."
"Most of these people have villas in the suburbs of the city, and now they live outside the city."
"In this way, the bannermen would sandwich the Han people in the middle. After moving in, the Qing court implemented a strict baojia system on Chengdu City. In addition to implementing a curfew, you need to obtain the permission of the village chief to enter and exit the outside city."
"The families of important officials who stayed in the capital who were all living in the city, obviously they could not go out casually."
"Then there is nothing we can do?"
"That's not. It's just that Lantern Festival is coming. Like Beijing, most of the lively places such as Lantern Festivals in Chengdu are in the outer city, and only the Han people will hold them. Although the Qing court strengthened the control of the city, it would not work if it was left to be a stagnant pool during the Spring Festival."
"After all, they have to cover up their eyes, but..."
"But what?"
"The three people like Delente, Lebao, and Eredenbao are too important. Most of their families will not be allowed to come out during this period, and they can only wander around the city."
"Is there any way to tell me directly?"
"Something is still there"
"Oh?"
"Although the Qing court strictly blocked the city, there was something they still needed to deal with by outsiders and they had to be transported out"
"Fat?"
"Yes, like Beijing City, this thing is also a good thing, and is controlled by the gang. They will send people to collect it from house to house and then transport it out in the early morning"
"As for how to enter Chengdu City, it is even simpler. Although our country has the ability to control the Yangtze River now, it has not done so. There is no restriction on the grain, cloth, iron and other scarce materials transported to Sichuan. According to His Majesty's instructions, all official ships are prohibited, but civil ships are not restricted"
"So the Qing court launched a large number of civilian ship transportation, and there were many large ships under the three major salt merchants in Yangzhou, and they actually participated in the transportation to a greater or lesser extent"
"However, since Emperor Qianlong moved to Chengdu, he changed the admirals from Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou, all of which were replaced by bannermen, and a new governor of Sichuan River was established. The navy after the general led the ships to Chongqing Prefecture, and the transportation matters"
"In other words, all civilian ships can only reach Chongqing at the farthest. When they arrive here, they will be transported to Chengdu by the official ships under the Governor's Office of Chuanjiang."
"But where are there so many official ships in Chongqing? In the end, I had to give a discount, allowing some trusted civil ship owners to follow the official ships to go straight to Chengdu along the Chuan River, Min River, and Fu River"
"Among the three major salt merchants, Wang Lutai, who was born in Shanxi, is the Salt General. His family is still in Yangzhou City. He can only obey our will and can secretly send people to sneak in"
"As for the feces gang, our people can also contact one or two. The Sichuan Governor controls the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan. We naturally have already arranged this kind of gang that can enter the inner city at any time will naturally attract people, and some people have also been involved."
"If you set out from Jiangnan and wait until you arrive in Chengdu, it will be too long"
"That's not necessary. Most of the goods of the Qing court were concentrated in Yichang, and ships would be replaced there. If you set out from Yichang and pass through the Chuan River, Min River, and Fu River, there will be a large number of boatmen along the way, and you will arrive at most in a month."
"You should have a radio station in Chengdu City."
"Yes, not only that, this radio station is also located in the city"
"Oh?"
"Your Highness, the Manchus who surrendered to us are not only like Suha and Hatu, but most of them are loyal to us. When we first captured Guangzhou more than 20 years ago, we began to pay attention from the bannermen. There is one person who is ours at the moment."
"This time he also came to Chengdu with Emperor Qianlong. He was still a member of the infantry commander's yamen. Although it was just a letter, it was still easy to get in touch with Delentai's family."
"Can you guarantee that this person has not rebelled?"
"Haha, it's completely impossible. This person just used the identity of Guangzhou Banner. He had long since changed his mind. He was a Turkut man who was born and raised in Truqin and could speak fluent Manchu"
"If it weren't for a hasty matter, we'd be planning to let him participate in the imperial examination as a Manchu"
....
Half a month later.
Delentai received news from the Truchen people.
"They really rescued Su Chong'a and the others?"
Delentai's eldest son, the eldest daughter is a pair of twin brothers and sisters, the eldest son Su Chong'a and the eldest daughter Su Qige, are both fifteen years old this year.
The news was made from a wax ball. As soon as Delentai received this news, he couldn't believe his eyes at all.
Although the Truqins had the secret technique of "Thousand Miles of Meaning Transmission" that was widely known to the upper class of the Qing court, how they did it was still a mystery. Before they saw the real material, it seemed that they would be more convinced by them.
"It is expected that they will arrive in Yangzhou in half a month"
He was still a little skeptical about the last sentence.
"Then let them postpone the siege for half a month. I must get the tokens from Su Chong'a and others"
However, the Truchen ignored this and clearly conveyed the last message to him.
"Whether you believe it or not, our attack on the inner city will be carried out tomorrow morning"
Tomorrow is the sixteenth day of the first lunar month!
Although Delentai was a little hesitant, as a powerful general, he obviously knew the power of the Truqins. He knew that once the Truqins attacked, they would probably take down the entire inner city wall in a day!
The reason why I wasted these days is not because I was worried that Agui would "burn with the city"!
What they need is a complete Beijing city, not a dilapidated Beijing city.
But they have taken down the entire outer city intact. With their amazing construction ability, even if the entire inner city is destroyed, they can recover quickly!
Before the early morning, he couldn't help but remember the news that the wax ball was conveyed many days ago.
"Call the officers above the Eight Banners of Manchuria to give a lecture, and then catch them all in one go, killing or capturing them. If you don't have confidence, once you decide, our people can join in"
There are 20,000 elite Eight Banners in the west wall of the inner city, at least half of the Eight Banners in Manchuria, that is 10,000 people. In this way, there are more than 300 people in the sect. These are all brave people. Although he also has a thousand Soren's direct descendants, he has no chance of winning against these 300 Eight Banners generals armed to the teeth.
What's more, the other Mongolian Eight Banners and the Han Army Eight Banners generals may not necessarily listen to him!
If the Eight Banners generals were added, the number of generals exceeded 500!
Five hundred people, usually when he was promoted to the tent, he was wearing a full picture, and he was wearing swords and swords. He would definitely not be able to sit here, so he could only do it in the square outside the temple. The streets outside the square were full of the Eight Banners soldiers of the Manchus. If he heard the movement here, how could he not come in to check it?
Suddenly, he thought of someone.
This person was originally a Han Chinese from Miaojiang between Hunan and Guizhou. After the Qing Dynasty changed its territory and returned to the migrant country, a large number of Han people were placed in Miaojiang. In the Miao language, the Han people were "Chuzha". As the Han people moved more and more, their sense of crisis became stronger.
In their eyes, the Han people represented the Qing court. Therefore, since the land was changed, the Miao chaos that drove out the Han people broke out every now and then. The Qing court also suppressed it many times, but their resistance did not seem to stop, which became one of the three major chaos during the Qianlong period.
The so-called three major chaos are naturally the chaos, the White Lotus Sect, and the Seedlings.
During the suppression of the Miao chaos, many of the Han people migrated to Miaojiang became the vanguard of the Qing army, one of which was very prominent.
This man's surname is Chu, and his parents were both killed by the Miao people, but he was adopted by the Miao chief by chance. Later, he became an internal supporter of the Qing army and made great contributions when the Qing army captured the Miao people's village.
Later, the Qing court rewarded him with a third-class guard title and carried him into the Han military flag. He naturally had a serious name, but his adoptive father always called him "Chuzha", so he used this name.
Chu Zha, who served as a guard by Emperor Qianlong for several years, was carried into the Eight Banners of Manchuria and married a royal woman. She is now the commander of the ten thousand young and strong outer cities in the West City Wall!
If there is anyone else to win over, it is Chuzha who has recently entered the flag.
Just like the incorporation of many chieftain soldiers into the green camp army system after the Battle of Jinchuan, there were many brave and healthy people among the Miao people. Not all the Han people living in Miao Xinjiang migrated. They could live in peace with them for a long time, obviously they were brave people. Chu Zha also had a thousand such Han and Miao people under him!
"Transfer to Chuzha!"
