After the prisoner presentation ceremony was completed, Qianlong awarded rewards to He Lin and all the officers and soldiers who participated in the escort. He Lin was given a piece of python satin court clothing, a weft hat, a pair of satin boots, a pair of court beads, and a hundred taels of silver, and she was escorted along the way.
The official Bian rewarded Jiang Silk, and the difference in silver was based on military merit. As for ordinary Manchu and Han soldiers, they were rewarded with twenty taels of silver, one sheep for every four people, and a bottle of famous wine for every two people.
The next day, Qianlong issued an edict stating that Bashadurye and others were provocative on the border and led troops to plunder Tashilhunpo Monastery, breaking the stability of Tibet for more than a hundred years.
No mercy was tolerated, so he immediately carried out the execution with his head bowed to the public. Wang Jie, a distinguished scholar, Su Ling'a, the Minister of Punishment, and several ministers went to oversee the execution.
As soon as the imperial edict came out, on the day of execution, there was a sea of people from Hufang Bridge to Caishikou. When noon arrived and the cannon sounded, the executioners of the Ministry of Punishment all showed their skills in watching over the food. A crowd of onlookers followed.
Every time the knife fell, there was a roar of "Long Live the Emperor!" After a while, more than a dozen heads were put into wooden cages and then hung high for public display.
As the crowd began to disperse, a few people who had already agreed on the price came outside the executioner's tent, took the "miraculous medicine" for tuberculosis wrapped in oil paper from the executioner's hand, and then rushed home happily.
go.
However, the superficial whitewash of peace could not cover up the declining decadence of the Qing Dynasty, and even the conflicts between the Manchus and Han became increasingly acute.
On July 16th, a major incident occurred in Beijing. The direct consequence of this incident was that many Eight Banners relatives even vacated their homes and moved their families to new homes. They also had their servants at home guard their bodies at all times and had bodyguards to stay with them when they went out.
Because of his body, he did not dare to go out alone. Inside and outside each banner camp, there were soldiers everywhere. Although the Shuntian Prefecture and the Supervisory Office tried their best to block the news after the incident, it still spread to the ears of the people in the outer city and became the talk of everyone after dinner.
In the afternoon two days later, the "Donghongtai" teahouse located on Qianmen Street had lost the hustle and bustle of the morning. Even though it was already the Hungry Ghost Festival, because this year was the late Beginning of Autumn, it was actually hotter than the dog days of summer at noon.
.The blazing daylight in the sky made the skin of the earth curl up and make people wilt.
At this time, the teahouse no longer had the banner man who was walking birds and fighting crickets. The tea guests had almost left, and the waiters were lying listlessly on the table. In the corner, only a few old customers were still chatting.
"Man, guess what? Don't the pirates from the North Sea like to come from the sea? The imperial court should build big walls at the seaside. In this case, the soldiers from the North Sea can only stare and cannot get to the shore!"
"Is the cannon of the Northern Pirates a decoration? Have you not heard that their cannons can even collapse a five-foot-thick brick wall? I don't think your idea is good."
"Have you heard? There was hail and thunder a few days ago. A big snake was killed in the courtyard of Sun's house outside Xuanwu Gate. People who saw it said it was seven or eight feet long and had horns on its head!
"
"Which of you knows the details of what happened at Dongsi Archway two days ago? I heard that an old man from the banner died."
Seeing everyone else shaking their heads, a fat man in his thirties and wearing a gray shirt at the table smiled slightly and said, "Shopkeeper Dong, you have asked the right person about this."
"How to say?"
"My third uncle's nephew is working as an errand in Shuntian Mansion. Yesterday, my aunt was not feeling well, so I told her to go over there tonight and have a look. Guess what, I happened to listen."
When several people at the table heard this, they quickly said: "Ouch! Shopkeeper Sun, please tell me."
"Guys, we have been friends for more than ten years. If these words come out of my mouth, they will fall into your ears. When we leave this door later, we will pretend that we don't know."
"That's that, shopkeeper Sun, don't worry, it will definitely be rotten in your stomach!"
Fatty Sun shook his fan and his eyes rolled for a few days. He looked around twice and saw that no one was paying attention. Then he leaned forward and said softly: "The old man who died was from the Shumulu family of Zhengbai Banner, but he was not a direct descendant.
It's a side branch, living in Dongsiliutiao. Think about it, Zhengbai Banner is the first of the three upper banners, Shumulu is one of the eight surnames, and his ancestor is the famous martial arts king Yang Guli. In the first few years
There was also a bachelor. When something happened to his family, even the emperor was alarmed."
Then, in his excited description, he told an incident that stunned several people present.
It turns out that Manchu children play with toys that are very different from Han children since they can crawl. The toys they play with are called "buku". When they were young, they had to use buckwheat pillows with wide leather strips.
Change to a large pillow made of mung beans or soybeans. When you are a little older and can run on the ground, you will start to hold a small "leather bag" containing river sand. After ten years old, you can change to a larger "leather bag" containing river sand.
also changed from sand to pebbles.
Of course, you will also need to practice rope bags, palm fist bags, stone monkeys and stone locks, stir sticks, etc. Those who are good at it will join the Shanpu Camp Firearms Camp to fill in the vacancies and find a future. In recent years, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties have
The Northern Navy fought against each other many times, and due to the heavy losses of soldiers, it also led to a great shortage of flag soldiers. Anyone with good skills can surely make up for it.
Although the Bannermen's Buku skills can be considered to be good martial arts, they are ineffective against the martial arts masters of the Han people. This is what is meant by the so-called "wrestling in martial arts, and a high level of accuracy".
Nowadays, all well-off bannermen in Beijing usually use real money to hire martial arts masters from other places to serve as martial arts masters at home. They can not only protect the family and the courtyard, but also teach the younger generation to practice martial arts. However, here is the problem. Some people from the Central Plains
The invited masters have had a feud with the Manchus for generations. They have either kept their names anonymous or changed their identities over the years, and it is difficult to find out anyway. These people have buried their hatred deep in their hearts, and under the guise of protecting the hospital and spreading their martial arts,
Waiting for an opportunity to kill the old Manchu general.
Basically, starting from the late Kangxi period, many of the headless murders that occurred under the banner were closely related to the group of martial arts guards who guarded the homes. However, because these people were secretive in their work, people could not find fault after the killing, so many satisfied people
Families can only suffer the consequences of being dumb and have nowhere to appeal.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Originally, this kind of thing rarely happened in the first few years, but as the imperial court dealt a heavy blow to the Northern Navy, some Han martial arts masters also began to become restless.
The same is true for the old man of the Shumulu family who was beaten to death a few days ago. He was said to be an old man, but he was actually less than sixty. He used to be a military commander and was lost in the war with Fukangan in Fuldan City and Beihai Town seven years ago.
One arm, but he finally saved his life. After returning to Beijing, he dangled an empty horse sleeve every day. He would drink when he had nothing to do, and when he drank too much, he would scold Zhao Xin, Beihai Town, and the Han people.
That day, the old man drank a lot of alcohol. When he got drunk, he started to curse again. Later, he started to choke with his own martial artist, and even tried to steal half of the sheep he was given. The martial artist was not a good person, saying that this was a family affair.
There is no reason for you to take it away from me. As a result, the two of them became more and more anxious as they talked. Finally, the old man got really angry and started a duel.
There are rules for this bannerman's martial arts competition. Firstly, the leader of the banner must nod in agreement, and secondly, he must sign a life and death document, indicating that no matter whether one of the two sides is killed or injured, they will not be reported to the official and will die of natural causes.
Two generations of the Shumulu family, father and son, participated in the competition. Of course, the subordinate leaders did not dare to say no, and then the documents were signed. In the morning of the next day, the competition went on as scheduled. Unexpectedly, the old man just entered the field and was not ready yet. The martial artist
The old man was killed on the spot by a heavy black tiger blow to his chest. He didn't even leave a word when he died. Although there are many bastards among the Manchus, they still keep their word when it comes to martial arts competitions and will not blackmail others.
The family members can only accept their fate.
After the old man fell to the ground, the martial artist made an excuse to go back to the backyard to get medicine for treatment, and asked everyone present to help take care of him. Later, when the wing doctor, middleman, and guarantor came forward to check the injury, everyone realized that
Something is not quite right.
Whenever someone is injured in a martial arts competition, the life of the injured person must be saved first. Why did that guy run back to his room? Besides, the old man was born in the military. He has experienced hundreds of battles and nine deaths in his life. He is a famous military attache under Zhengbai's banner.
.You didn’t even lose your life on the battlefield, so why did you die so strangely?
So everyone hurried to the backyard to look for someone. Unexpectedly, there was no one in the house, but they saw a pine ladder collapsed under the high wall. They were surprised that the martial artist had climbed over the wall and ran away. Everyone speculated that he had committed a murder and panicked, so they hurriedly chose a way out.
.
At this moment, everyone recalled that before this, the martial artist had asked everywhere about the old man's resume, including which years he had participated in and which battles he had participated in. The old people in the flag unanimously agreed that this man was for
The man who came to the house to seek revenge was a martial artist; so he reported it to the flag commander and the Criminal Department to apprehend the criminal. People from the Jiumen Infantry Patrol Battalion then went to the old man's house to search the martial arts master's residence, and they actually searched under the bed.
A letter came out.
When the investigators read the contents of the letter, they were sure that the man had indeed come here to seek revenge. It said that he was originally from Chengguan, the old city of Linqing, Shandong Province, and that the reason why he shot the old man to death was because he had followed Shu Hede.
He led the troops to encircle and suppress Wang Lun, and he deserved his punishment for killing the common people.
Everyone was shocked. They had to know that Shu Hede, nicknamed Wenxiang, was a direct descendant of the Shumulu family. In the 39th year of Qianlong's reign, he was ordered to lead troops to Shandong to suppress Wang Lun of the Qingshui Sect. The old man who was killed had followed him to attack Linqing that year.
old city.
It is said that Wang Lun, the leader of the Qingshui Sect, is not a good thing. This "Master Zhen Gua Wang", like all the leaders of the White Lotus Sect in history, launched a riot under the slogan "Ancestor Hongyang, Mother Wusheng, Maitreya is born".
It was precisely because of this religious rebellion that Linqing, a famous shopping mall that had prospered for more than 200 years since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, turned into a hell on earth amid blood and fire.
The tragic offensive and defensive battle that took place 20 years ago lasted for nearly 20 days. Both the attacking and defending sides set fires wantonly inside and outside the city, leaving the old city of Linqing almost in ruins. When the city was broken, the Qing army and the Qingshui Sect members
They fought for every street and every house in the city. The brutal street fighting lasted for five days. A large number of innocent women and children were killed by the Qing army after the city was broken.
That martial artist was the descendant of the innocent people massacred by this old man from the Shu Mulu family. This man had been seeking revenge for many years and had remained anonymous. He had developed a superb through-arm-wrapping fist. He worked as a martial arts instructor for the Zhengbai Banner Han Army for a few years.
By chance, he was invited by the Shumulu family, who also belonged to Zhengbai Banner, to become a martial arts guardian. After years of patience, he finally succeeded.
When shopkeeper Sun finished explaining the cause and effect, everyone present was stunned for a long time. They all shook their heads and sighed. Things in the world are really like drinking and pecking. This old man was able to survive against the sharp-shooting pirates of the North Sea. Who would have expected that he would be killed by one of his family members?
The martial artist was killed with one palm.
"I heard that the imperial court is busy moving the capital. You said that they are all going to Xi'an. Does Beijing City still belong to Beijing City?"
"Why do you think so much? The North Sea pirates have now reached Shandong, and I heard that Jilin City outside the customs has been lost. Let's take it one day at a time!"
"Shopkeeper Dong, you have traveled extensively and experienced a lot. I heard that the Northern Pirates were engaged in "attacking local tyrants to divide their fields" in Shandong. Do you know about this?"
"Oh, don't ask me that. Let's not talk about state affairs!"
Everyone chatted for a while, then said goodbye and dispersed. Shopkeeper Dong left the tea shop and returned to "Huang Shengtai's" shop. After that, he spent more than an hour reading last month's accounts.
Seeing that the sun outside was no longer so harsh, he asked the man to go to the backyard and let the coachman hitch the car.
After burning a stick of incense, shopkeeper Dong gave some instructions to the waiter and went out to get on the cart. The mule cart went south along Qianmen Street, went east to Zhushikou, and finally stopped at the entrance of Shiban Hutong in Suanshikou.
He got out of the car and stood under the tree at the entrance of the alley for a while. Then he walked in with his hands on his back. He paused slightly every twenty steps and listened carefully to see if anyone was following him. When he arrived,
In front of the door of a single-family courtyard on the southeast side of the intersection of Shiban Hutong and Benchang Hutong, he looked around, then stepped forward and patted it twice, paused for a moment and patted it four more times.
Not long after, the courtyard door opened, revealing a gap that allowed only one person to pass through. Shopkeeper Dong stepped in sideways and whispered to the old man who opened the door: "Where is the person?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The old man didn't say anything, and glanced at the west room of the main room. Shopkeeper Dong didn't say anything, and walked straight into the house. He reached out and opened the blue cloth curtain, and saw a
A lean man in his thirties jumped down from the kang, his arms stretched out wide, and he cupped his fists and bowed to himself.
"Brother Dong."
"Brother Zhang, in the past few days, notices have been posted everywhere in and around the city to arrest you. I'm here to tell you that you must be careful in this courtyard on weekdays to avoid leaks."
"I'm really grateful for Brother Dong's care. Now that I've got my revenge, I have nothing to worry about anymore. Don't worry, I'll leave tonight and I won't implicate you in any way."
"Hey, what nonsense are you talking about! Just wait for two days. When there is news from Shandong, neither Shuntian Mansion nor the patrol camp will care about your business. Then I will send someone to take you out of the city.
"
"According to what Brother Dong said, my junior brother Chen is also in Jiaodong now? I want to find him."
"Don't be impatient. Stay calm and don't be impatient. You brothers will definitely be reunited."
No one would have thought that Zhang Xiude, the martial artist who killed the old counselor of the Shu Mulu family, was hiding in a house owned by shopkeeper Dong "Huang Shengtai".
Shopkeeper Dong did not lie. Five days later, a six hundred-mile express letter sent by Liu Yong from Jinan arrived in the capital. The Northern Navy, which had been silent in Jiaodong for almost a year, suddenly launched a massive force of 8,000 people from the north.
In the south, they launched a fierce attack on the Qing army along the Huangshui River, Sun River and Wulong River. In just two days, the three cities of Dengzhou, Qixia and Laiyang fell one after another.
Lan Jia Zan, the prefect of Dengzhou, hanged himself after the city was destroyed.
However, what is surprising is that Qianlong actually seemed very calm after learning about the military situation in Shandong. He did not mobilize troops from the capital and surrounding provinces, but only ordered Liu Yong to strictly guard Zhaoyuan and Jimo and other places and pay close attention to the movements of the Northern Navy.
After that, he had a solo duel with He Shen and Yong Yan for more than an hour, and then asked the Manchurian Governor with a white flag. He Lin, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, immediately presented the sign to the audience. Early the next morning, he issued an edict to everyone in the government and the public.
Confused, He Lin was appointed Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, with the title of Minister of War, and would take office after August 15th.
However, according to news from the palace, Qianlong became furious when he returned to the palace that day, cursed Zhao Xin angrily, and even smashed a Ru kiln brush washer.
