When the two sides met, their words were full of guns and sticks.
Liu Yong said that Zhao Xin was using Zhu Ming's guise to pull the tiger's skin and pull the flag; Zhao Xin meant that I have been teaching Tsarist Russia a lesson recently and have no time to talk to you.
Cao Peng on the side looked at Liu Yong curiously, comparing it with the actor surnamed Li in his memory, and said that he looked nothing like him at all.
"It is said that Liu Yong is a great calligrapher. If I can get a piece of his calligraphy, I wonder how much it can be sold for?"
Naturally, Qitai didn't need any introductions. He gave Zhao Xin a stern face and cupped his fists as a courtesy, and then introduced several military generals and civil servants behind him to Zhao Xin. Zhao Xin smiled and cupped his fists in greeting.
Several Manchu officials were secretly surprised when they saw that the rebel leader in front of them had no airs. However, as a court official, they could not be too polite to Zhao Xin, so they just nodded slightly.
After everyone sat down at the east and west tables, Liu Yong was the first to speak.
"I heard that your Excellency defeated Rakshasa in Heilongjiang City and Yaksa. It is reported that the soldiers pointed out that they have crossed the boundary stone?"
"Ma-so-hu-hu. Before he came back, he had captured Irkutsk and captured a governor, a general, and several major generals."
Na Qitai on the side interrupted: "Mr. Zhao, what are the official positions of the generals and major generals of the Rakshasa people?"
Zhao Xin smiled and said: "The general is just like your General Fuyuan. He is in charge of the troops in all parts of Siberia. The major general is the commander-in-chief, usually leading several regiments or an army."
Liu Yong nodded after hearing this and said: "So, may I ask Mr. Zhao, when will Heilongjiang City and Yaksa be returned to our Qing Dynasty?"
Zhao Xin looked at Liu Yong without saying anything for a long time. When Na Qitai saw the other person's expression, he thought it was going to be bad!
Liu Yong frowned and said, "What's wrong with what I said?"
Zhao Xin smiled and said: "Mr. Liu, have you eaten breakfast this morning? Do you know what I do?"
Liu Yong opened his triangular eyes and stared at Zhao Xindao with a playful expression: "I am also curious, where did you come from? Mr. Zhao, can you tell me and let me understand what's going on in my mind?
What are you confused about?"
Beginning in the spring of the 51st year of Qianlong's reign - that is, after Fukang'an and a group of captives were redeemed by Qianlong with gold, an extremely secretive investigation began under Qianlong's personal supervision and He Shen was specifically responsible for this matter.
The level of secrecy is second only to that of Emperor Qianlong. Why is the level of secrecy so high? The problem lies in Zhao Xin's fluent Beijing movies.
Based on what the released Eight Banners officers and soldiers saw and heard, as well as the descriptions of people who had personal contact with Zhao Xin such as Fukang'an and Na Qitai, plus the two years of secret investigation by Manchu spies in Beihai Town, He Shen took
The Lan Ling guards at Sticking Station checked the red and yellow books of all the eight banners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and at the same time sent officials of the Ministry of Punishments to check the household registers, tobacco household registers, monks and Taoist circulation books of all states, prefectures and counties in the 23 provinces.
According to Fukang'an and Na Qitai, Zhao Xin spoke the capital's Mandarin with a clear accent, and his words were also mixed with many common sayings that Manchus would use.
The Lan Ling guards sifted through all the Han, Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners who were about the same age as Zhao Xin. No one looked like Zhao Xin, and no information could be found. The clan government also carefully searched all the previously imprisoned clan families.
I checked it again and found that it was exactly the same as what was recorded in the pornographic book.
The core of the entire investigation is three things: Who is Zhao Xin? Where did he come from? Where is his home?
To explain this problem, we must first explain the household registration management system of the Qing Dynasty. Don’t think that the state machinery of feudal society is just a freeloader. The Manchu and Qing Dynasties had the strictest household registration management system in the entire feudal society. The household registration management system of later generations is also the same.
It borrowed some practices from the Manchu and Qing dynasties.
Unless someone jumped out of a rock and was raised by nature, there will be a record on the file.
As we all know, the Qing Dynasty inherited the Ming system, so the method of "household registration is determined by registration" was also implemented in household registration management and household registration classification at the beginning. According to the household law in the eighth volume of "Qing Dynasty Laws and Regulations", all military, civilian, and
Posts, kitchens, medicine, divination, workers, and music all belong to various households, and they are determined by their nationality; even if they are beggars, they still have beggar households.
Compared with the carelessness of the Ming Dynasty, starting from the 13th year of Shunzhi, the Manchu Qing Dynasty explicitly ordered the household registration of the country to be compiled and reviewed every five years, directly linking the increase in population in various places with the performance evaluation of officials.
It is said that the purpose of compiling household registration in feudal society is to control as many people as possible with household registration, so that they can pay taxes and work as errands, thereby ensuring the country's fiscal revenue and corvee dispatch. Therefore, under this premise, officials of all dynasties in order to obtain
There are endless phenomena of cheating to obtain promotion, or evading taxes and servitude in order to hide the population, and the Manchu and Qing Dynasties were no exception.
Therefore, when the problems of collecting money and grain and inaccurate numbers of people became more serious, Kangxi adopted the method of "growing people in prosperous times, and never adding taxes". Since people are raised and taxes are never added, then the hidden household registration will be lost.
This made sense. And this also laid the foundation for the policy of "dividing a small family into an area" implemented by Yongzheng.
Some people in later generations always said that Kangxi's words were just a smoke bomb. He was not really trying to do frivolous corvées and small gifts, but just a gimmick to win favor. Didn't you see that after the Daoguang Dynasty, all kinds of additional taxes increased the amount of money, money, and expenses?
, mining tax, etc., there are many names.
The question is to find out what Kangxi’s purpose was before he criticized it. His original intention was to obtain as real data as possible in the household registration statistics!
With the full rollout of the "dividing a man into an acre", the head tax, which had existed for two thousand years in Chinese history, was completely abolished. This also brought about the abolition of the human quota system for the purpose of collecting taxes and servitude.
In the thirty-seventh year of Qianlong's reign, the Manchu Qing Dynasty officially stopped the census of population and replaced it with the household registration system; specifically, it was the Baojia Law that was implemented based on Wang Yangming's "Ten Family Card Law". This was also popular in later generations of China.
The basis of household registration management system.
The specific method is to compile Baojia, each household should be given a house number, write down the name of its parents and the number of its male children, and change it every year. Ten family cards are the cards, and the cards have heads;
Keep it right.
The household registration statistics and management under the Baojia system are mainly carried out through the preparation of "smoking household registers"; the Baojiang is generally responsible for filling in the registers, and the format and content of the registers are filled in according to the contents on the house numbers in Jia, which is a summary of the house numbers of each household.
set.
There are two copies of the "Tobacco Household Register", one is temporarily stored in the local government for inspection; the other is kept in the director's office to keep statistics on changes in personnel at any time, or to report to the county on the first day of the month, or to replace it every two months.
As for the Eight Banners, there are different rules.
Needless to say, for the royal family, the birth of a child must be reported to the clan office for record. The yellow belt is entered into the jade certificate, and the red belt is entered into the red book. When an ordinary banner family has a child, they must immediately report it to the banner leader and log in to the "register".
The "registration files" of the Eight Banners are based on households, and each household member has detailed records. This includes the banner registration, clan, household, relationship with the head of the household, gender, marital status, and status of the head of the household. Name, age, date of birth, death, names and occupations of the three generations of father and ancestors, etc. In addition, the slaves under the family are also registered in the register, which is attached to the back of the household register. The names of their fathers and elders are also recorded, and they must also be checked. The source of his grandfather's identity was either purchased by deed, brought from Shengjing, brought as land for investment, or purchased by white deed, and it is required to be shown in the household register.
By the way, He Shen and a group of people have been secretly investigating for two years, and they still can't figure out Zhao Xin's origins and whether he really has this name. Let alone Zhao Xin, they didn't even find out Liu Sheng.
After that, He Shen sent his men to Guangzhou and Macau to inquire in detail which of the European countries could build large iron ships. But whether it was England or France, or merchants and sailors from the Netherlands, Spain, Macao and Portugal, they never No one has heard of it. Some foreign sailors even responded in surprise, weren’t the big iron ships built by the Qing Dynasty?
Qianlong even asked Baitang'a from the stick-stick department to secretly take a boat to Nagasaki and meet with Nagasaki's acting official Tsuchiya Masanobu. He only got a little information, that is, Zhao Xin first appeared in the Mutsu area in the forty-eighth year of Qianlong's reign.
In fact, the shogunate has been secretly investigating Zhao Xin's origins. They have been trying to figure out why Zhao Xin is so hostile to the Tokugawa shogunate. They checked here and there, but in the end they only found out that Zhao Xin was in the winter of the third year of Tianming. Xinhe Liu Sheng once appeared on the sea near Aomori in a big white boat and took away more than 300 hungry people.
Going forward, nothing can be found. Of course, it would be a damn thing if we could find it!
(Some book friends said that the Qing Dynasty could pretend to be this or that. To tell you the truth, you can’t pretend to be anything. A cycle book can lock people up tightly. Whether it’s Lin Shuangwen’s Rebellion or Su Shisan’s Uprising , the most important thing for feudal society to treat rebels is to capture their families.)
Whether it is people or things in the world, the passing of people leaves their traces, and the passing of geese leaves their voices. If a highly centralized central dynasty really wants to check something, there is basically nothing that cannot be found. If I can't find it, I can check it. His accomplices will eventually come to light.
But the real details of Zhao Xin cannot be found out!
At this point, not only Heshen, but also Qianlong was panicked. To be precise, he was scared. It is said that you know yourself and the enemy, but if you don't even know the details of the other party, how can you deal with it?
It would be fine if he was really a descendant of the last Zhao king Zhu Youfeng, but the problem is that except for Zhao Xin himself who mentioned a few words, no one can prove it.
How many large iron ships does Zhao Xin have? Where did he build those two large ships? If he had a few more similar large ships, the court would have to be forced to issue a "sea ban", and no one would be able to deal with this. Him!
Fortunately, Zhao Xing had just finished attacking Ninggu Pagoda and turned around to deal with the Rakshasa. If he had sent his troops south, Qianlong could only summon the soldiers and horses from all over the world to go north and use their numbers to carry him to death.
Faced with Liu Yong's question, Zhao Xin was silent for a moment and showed the iconic smile that Qitai had seen before. Liu Yong's eight white teeth were a bit dazzling. He thought that this man in this poor and harsh land still had the smile.
Good teeth show how extravagant your daily life is.
"you guess?"
Tsk~~~~~ Then Qitaixin said, I knew it was like this!
Liu Yong still had a serious look on his face. Although he and Na Qitai had discussed the details of the confrontation with Zhao Xin many times before, he did not expect that this man would be so slippery and unrestrained, always looking like a scoundrel.
He pondered for a while and then said: "Mr. Zhao, I see that you are a talented person, and you don't look like a deceitful person. Not to mention that you gathered a group of Japanese refugees to fight against the Celestial Empire and narrowly defeated our imperial army many times. You alone can defeat the Rakshasa army.
Opening up territory and expanding territory is enough to be considered a true man! As Zhu Zi said, a good person is an upright person. What on earth are you afraid to say?"
Zhao Xin pretended to be confused, spread his hands and said, "What am I hiding? Your emperor said that I am the last queen of King Zhao. Have I argued?"
What a fucking slippery boy! Liu Yong almost cursed him in Zhucheng dialect.
In fact, in order to find out the details of Zhao Xin, he has searched through relevant collections and historical documents of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties in the past few months, and what he may have found is the following records:
In the first month of the fourth year of Yongli's reign, the Qing troops captured Nanxiong and Shaozhou, approaching the Qingyuan Gorge. Zhaoqing was in danger. In September, Yongli fled to Zhaoqing and retreated to Wuzhou. On September 26, the Qing troops surrounded Guangzhou and captured Huizhou.
, Huang Yingjie, the commander-in-chief of Huizhou in the Southern Ming Dynasty, Li Shilian, the Taoist minister, Lin Zongjing, the prefect of Huizhou, and others saw that the situation was over, and the former Ming Zhao king Zhu Youyi and other kings surrendered to the Qing army.
After Huang Yingjie and others presented the city to the Qing Dynasty, they massacred all the princes and their families in the former Ming Dynasty. Because the princesses were more beautiful, among them, Princess Pang of Xinghua was taken over by the camp general Wang Shihuai. She hanged her four-year-old daughter and established a marriage ceremony for her husband.
The memorial tablet, and then hanged herself to death with her clothes; the Zhongxin Princess Zheng was possessed by the Taoist official Li Shilian, but she never obeyed, and later she also took the opportunity to hang herself, and her body was abandoned in the river; the Ziyang Princess was possessed by the commander-in-chief Huang Yingjie and refused to obey, Huang Yingjie was afraid
She escaped, stripped her shirt, and was imprisoned in a secret room. Finally, the princess took advantage of Huang Yingjie's unpreparedness, took off her lower clothes, tied a rope around her neck, and committed suicide.
But here comes the problem. Among the four princesses living in Huizhou, only Princess Zhao is missing and has no history. In the notes of the Ming Dynasty, it is vaguely written that King Zhao had a three-year-old son at the time. Later,
His whereabouts are also unknown.
Although Zhao Xin's words are equivalent to acknowledging that he is the last king of Zhao, the problem is that Liu Yong still has many questions.
Why did he change his surname to Zhao? After conquering such a large territory, wouldn't it be good to restore his surname to Zhu?
From whom did he learn this well-spoken Bannerman Mandarin? Why does he know the secret history of the Manchus? Did he really have a master who was a descendant of a wandering clan? Otherwise, there is no way to explain this.
At this time, Zhao Xin smiled faintly and said to Liu Yong: "Master Liu, don't bother, you can talk about gossip later. Let's get down to business. What does Qianlong want you to talk to me about?"
"Stop the troops and submit to the imperial court! Emperor Meng will not give up. He values your ability to manage the people's livelihood in the two cities. After you submit, you can appoint Mr. Zhao as the deputy commander-in-chief. Even raising the flag is not impossible!"
"Pfft!" Zhao Xin was drinking tea and squirted out a mouthful of water, all over Qitai's face. Cao Peng next to him was so frightened that his buttocks were unsteady and he fell upside down with his chair.
On the ground.
"Ouch~~ Master, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Please wipe it with a hand towel."
Facing Zhao Xin, Na Qitai could neither be impatient nor annoyed. He could only put on a look of resentment and wipe his face, thinking to himself, who am I provoking?
