In the forty-ninth year of Qianlong's reign, on the 28th of the leap month, the Leishen, carrying 3,000 refugees, slowly sailed into the simple dock of Beihai Town.
Because everyone was already familiar with the procedures for disembarking refugees from the previous trip, the disembarkation procedures this time were arranged in an orderly manner.
Chen Qingsong has already started to open up the east bank of the Xila River. A patrol boat has been used as a temporary ferry, and the docks on the east and west banks have taken initial shape. Every day, hundreds of refugees take boats to enter the east bank to cut trees and open up wasteland.
As for the west bank, the refugees followed the primeval forests and shrubs along the river bank to the northeast and were close to the river valley plains.
According to the plan of Zhao Xin and Chen Qingsong, a total area of 32 square kilometers on the west bank of the Xila River from the sea to the north and west will be used as the urban part of Beihai Town in the future.
They plan to set up forts every five kilometers from the northeast side of the planned town along the west bank of the Xila River to arrange the settlement of agricultural populations.
Before leaving Sendai Domain this time, Zhao Xin had asked Katsuyama Denzo and the owner of Tamaya Village to help recruit some bridge-building craftsmen. He planned to use local wood in Beihai Town to build a bridge to connect the two sides of the Sira River.
After Zhao Xin saw the training situation of the security police and the fifty people, he discussed it with Liu Sheng and decided to wait for another two weeks to set off.
Liu Sheng's opinion was to wait until Wang Yuanfang and his team completed a stage of training before going to Ezo to explore. If possible, a military station should be established directly at the location of what would become Otaru Port as a base for future advancement.
At this time, the Qing court, thousands of miles away, caused an uproar because of an urgent report from the Jilin General's Office; even Qianlong, who was on a southern tour, was furious because of this incident.
Northwest of Xuzhou, Daying, Dakou Town, late at night.
Seventy-three-year-old Qianlong sat in the imperial boat, looking at the dim candlelight without saying a word.
The eunuch serving beside him had already sensed the tension in the air, and was so frightened that he did not dare to speak out, for fear of accidentally angering his master.
A young eunuch came in with tea in his hands and placed it on the imperial desk quietly.
Qianlong picked up the tea and took a sip. The scalding hot water made him feel excited.
"Is this how you wait on errands?!" Qianlong, who had been suppressed for a long time, was furious. He threw the bowl of tea soup with the lid on the young eunuch with a "snap".
"Pull out, forty sticks!"
"Your Majesty, please spare this slave! Your Majesty, please spare this slave! This slave will never dare to do it again."
The little eunuch was so frightened that he lay on the ground, trembling all over, and kept kowtowing.
"Your Majesty, calm down."
The eunuchs and maids inside and outside the royal boat all knelt on the ground.
At this time, on the river bank, He Shen was walking over in a hurry, and happened to see two guards dragging a young eunuch down.
The eunuch beside Qianlong was hurrying out of the royal boat, and He Shen stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Is the emperor meeting someone now?"
The eunuch looked at the palace lantern and saw that it was He Shen. He quickly said with a wry smile: "Since the afternoon, the emperor has been silent after reading the book. The dinner was just fine. Just now, the people below were unruly, and for some reason they annoyed the old man.
.Sir, please go in quickly and persuade me."
After hearing this, He Shen nodded slightly and immediately signed up. Soon, a eunuch from the royal boat called in.
When Heshen entered, Qianlong had already asked the maids and eunuchs to stand up.
He Shen walked into the inner room in two steps, knelt down heavily, kowtowed and said: "Master, you must take care of the dragon body! I just heard about Hunchun, some young people are not worth mentioning.
As soon as the army arrives, it will be instantly wiped out."
Qianlong sighed and said, "Get up and bring some tuna to He Shen."
"Slave, thank you for your kindness!" He Shen kowtowed heavily before standing up.
"How much have you heard about Hunchun?" Qianlong took the tea that the eunuch had brewed again and took a sip.
"My servant only glanced at the abridged copy. I didn't have time to read the main copy of the newspaper."
"Yes." Qianlong glanced at Heshen and saw that his forehead was covered with sweat. He understood that he had rushed over as soon as he heard about Hunchun. He was a little touched by this servant's heart to serve his master.
Just as he was about to speak, the sound of registration came from outside the imperial boat. A eunuch came into the room and knelt down to report: "Your Majesty, the eleventh brother, the fifteenth brother, and the seventeenth brother want to see you."
Qianlong said coldly: "My good sons are here, call them in!"
Soon, thirty-two-year-old Yong Xuan, twenty-four-year-old Yong Yan, and twelve-year-old Yong Lin all walked in.
"The sons and ministers bow to their father." (Princes in the Qing Dynasty generally called the emperor "Khan Ama", "Emperor Father" or "Father Emperor". As for the title "Emperor Ama" that is most often mentioned in TV dramas, it only exists
Yu Guangxu, Xuantong two dynasties.)
"Get up." Qianlong glanced at his three sons. Standing among the three was Yong Yan, who he had secretly appointed as the crown prince eleven years ago.
After Yong Yan stood up, he raised his head slightly. He saw Qianlong standing up, holding his hands behind his back, walking to the window, looking at the Grand Canal in the night and saying lightly: "There is no one around me! Except for Fukang'an, oh, there is also Hai
Lancha. The generals are incompetent, the important ministers in the court are mediocre, and now even the slaves in Longxing Land are a bunch of bastards. It seems that I am really old! Several people from the Military Aircraft Department have been discussing for several days, and they don’t even know where the musket is.
They didn’t even know they were here! Otherwise, why did Yalha and Serdan rebel, and more than a hundred elite soldiers with yellow flags could do nothing, but were defeated by these two people together with the Oros thieves? This is really unprecedented.
It smells so weird!”
The joint memorial written by Qinggui and Duerjia clearly states that among the 108 people led by Tuomohuoguo, except for 10 who were killed by bows and arrows and hacking with sharp weapons, the remaining 98 were all killed by muskets.
The whereabouts of the remaining twelve people are unknown.
Qianlong thought about it, but he couldn't figure out how the muskets came from Hunchun. In the records of Qinggui and Duerjia, they also mentioned that they personally went to the camp to verify. To handle the handover, the ordnance of the Jilin General Mansion was
It should be recorded that not a single musket has been lost.
Later, he ordered people to search the memorials of General Jilin and General Heilongjiang within five years, and finally found a memorial from North Korea three years ago.
This memorial from Korea stated that news came from Japan recently. It is said that Oros people came from the sea to the Ezo land in the north of Japan to contact Japan. They were later rejected by Matsumae Fan of Japan. The Oros fleet was later unknown.
Whereabouts.
After Qianlong ordered people to get a map of the South China Sea and a map of northern Japan to compare and verify each other, he felt that he had completely understood the matter.
The Oros must have landed around Bear Island and occupied the territory. After Nayarha, Serdan and others killed the officers and soldiers, they somehow defected to them.
In the end, they worked together inside and outside to ambush and kill the Hunchun armored soldiers. As for the twelve missing armored soldiers, they must have been captured by the Oros.
As soon as Qianlong's words came out, the four people in the room fell to their knees and kowtowed heavily: "Your Majesty (father), please calm down."
Qianlong looked at the lights on the canal outside the boat, and did not let the four people get up. He still said calmly with his hands behind his back: "The decree is that Hunchun will lead Ute Mountain to neglect the enemy, be arrogant and arrogant, and fall into the enemy's plot. Please lead me.
Tuo Mohuoguo had 108 soldiers and 15 soldiers with yellow flags. They were killed. He neglected his kindness and neglected his duty. It was a very hateful situation. He was dismissed from the army and went to Hunchun to take up all the positions. He was imprisoned pending investigation.
!”
Yong Yan secretly let out a sigh of relief and was about to speak when he heard Qianlong continue to say: "Draft another edict. The deputy commander of Ninggu Pagoda is in peace. His mother is old, so he should report it first. But Lianzhan will not report it.
In the name of Yi Mu's sedan chair, he traveled privately in a sedan chair. He also opened a casino and bought merchants' ginseng at a low price. This was even more despicable and shameless. He wore leather and went to the deputy capital of Anlining Ancient Tower, stripped off his yellow mantle, and took back the flower feathers.
Sent to the Hunchun Army to serve as atonement!
Under Jilin General Du Erjia, he ordered the civil and military personnel to do their best to find out the whereabouts of the Oros people. When the imperial envoys arrive to take charge, they will send troops to apprehend them!
The military ministers A Gui and He Shen failed to assist in the administration, which caused the border affairs in Longxing to become desolate. They were each fined half a year's salary as punishment."
When He Shen, who was kneeling below, heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly became a little panicked. At the end of last year, An Lin also gave his family 8,000 taels of silver, 100 kilograms of old wild ginseng and many leather goods. He was here
He Shen had known about the bad things about Ning Guta for a long time. However, it was located in a remote area and no one in the court cared about it, so He Shen felt at ease and helped An Lin cover it up in front of Qianlong.
Why did the emperor take him down so suddenly and silently? It turned out that the seventy-year-old man in front of him knew everything, but he just led the way without revealing anything.
"Wait a minute! The emperor wants to send an imperial envoy?!" He Shen secretly speculated in his heart and did not dare to raise his head to look at Qianlong.
Qianlong slowly twirled his beard at this time, narrowed his eyes slightly, and his slender eyes were shining brightly. He did not look like an old man in his seventies at all. As the saying goes, Jiang Gui's nature becomes more and more spicy as he gets older.
Chaos in the southwest can wait, chaos in the northwest can wait; chaos in the land of ancestral Longxing cannot be tolerated, and it must not wait!
He turned around and walked back to the imperial desk, sat down firmly, took a long sip of the cold tea, looked at the four people kneeling below, and read out the third edict word for word: "Draft another edict.
, ordered Fu Kang'an, the Minister of the Ministry of War, to lead the imperial envoy to Guanfang, carry the king's flag, and lead the internal bodyguard Hailancha, lead the Batulu bodyguard Zhang Jing and others. They did not need to come to the imperial boat to meet the driver and went directly to Jilin Wula.
The Jilin generals and the Heilongjiang generals must obey the imperial envoys and handle the affairs of suppressing the incoming bandits from Nayarha, Serdan and other Oros.
I originally did not want to send a special minister there, but because the governor of the province was not handled well, I had to simplify the governor's rate and rectify it in order to speed up the matter. All the civil and military affairs in the two provinces were not handled well.
All members, wait until all thieves and bandits are wiped out. We will review their merits and demerits according to their merits and demerits, and report them in detail."
At this time, the three decrees were like a series of thunders, which shocked the four people present. There was silence inside and outside the royal boat.
He Shen knew that Qianlong's heart was filled with anger at this moment, and he fell to his knees, bowing his head and saying nothing.
The month description in the previous article was incorrect. 1784 was a leap month. This has been corrected.
