Ning Guta's deputy capital Tong Naqitai had no choice but to do anything. What he was worried about now was not whether Zhao Xin would break the city, but whether Zhao Xin would agree to negotiate. His staff advised him that "working hard is not a business," and Na Qitai certainly understood. But he thought that Ninggu Pagoda could not be lost. If it were lost, then the land of more than 4,000 miles from east to west and more than 1,900 miles from north to south under the jurisdiction of Jilin General Mansion would be gone. For the old emperor, this was absolutely unacceptable.
In this disastrous defeat, the bannermen in Beijing must be Dai Xiao. As a Lan Ling bodyguard who had been working at the "sticking office" for many years, Na Qitai knew Qianlong's temper well. If such a large piece of territory is lost due to the fall of Ninggu Pagoda, his family in Beijing will definitely not end well.
The reason why Zhao Xin's group is so powerful is mainly because of the firearms in their hands. But as long as Ning Guta can be saved and this tone is maintained, given time, the imperial court will surely mobilize its troops and completely eliminate this group of people sooner or later.
"Master? Master?" Na Qitai, who had been stressed out by Zhao Xin in the past two days, was already a little numb, so much so that his subordinates didn't respond when they called him. The soldier Geshiha stepped forward and pushed his arm gently, shaking him awake.
"what happened?"
"Go back to my master, Zhang Yubei and the others are back."
Na Qitai perked up and said, "Ask them to come in."
Zhang Yubei and the others were led by flag soldiers into the signing room of the general's office. After saluting, Na Qitai said eagerly: "No! Zhao Sitong doesn't agree?"
Zhang Yubei cupped his hands and said, "Zhao Ni has agreed to your request and will negotiate with you at Guandi Temple tomorrow."
Qitai was still a little worried: "Well, you won't break your promise, right?"
Zhang Yubei said: "From what I've seen, I'm afraid not." After he finished speaking, Qian Wei and Huang Yingfa also agreed.
Na Qitai nodded and said to the soldiers: "Take them down to receive the reward."
After the three of them walked out of the door, the leader Nayin who was standing aside said: "My lord, as I have seen from my humble position, Zhao Ni is very cunning. This time, he is forcing you to submit with the force of his troops. In order to protect your safety and prevent any unexpected events." , should we lead some troops to ambush around the Guandi Temple..."
Na Qitai thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "That's not right. Our empire is extremely powerful, and we have always relied on benevolence and justice to treat the barbarians. If we really hold a 'Hongmen Banquet', once Zhao Ni finds out, the negotiation will definitely fail."
Since the Qing Dynasty, as Guan Gong was established as a martial saint, worshiping Guan Gong has also been included in the national sacrificial ceremony. Therefore, various prefectures, prefectures and counties have established temples related to the emperor for worship and worship.
The Guandi Temple in Ninggu Tacheng is located three miles outside the east gate of Ninggu Tacheng and was built in the fourth year of Kangxi (1665). The temple is adjacent to Wenchang Pavilion on the left and Horse Temple on the right. The main hall is dedicated to the relevant holy emperors. Because it is located outside the Great Wall, there are not many regulations. The negotiation place arranged by Na Qitai was located in the side hall of Guandi Temple.
The next day. In the main hall of Guandi Temple, Na Qitai, who had arrived early in the morning, kowtowed respectfully to the statue of Guan Gong, hoping that Emperor Guan Sheng would bless this negotiation smoothly. At this time, a subordinate walked in quickly and said to Na Qitai: "Sir, they are here and have reached the other side of the river."
"Well. How many people did they come?"
"Twelve people."
"Hmph! You are really brave! Let's go to the side hall and sit and wait."
Before leaving the camp in the morning, Zhao Xin asked Wang Yuanfang to use a drone to conduct a patrol around the Guandi Temple. After seeing that there was no movement from the Qing soldiers, he decided to take only one person across the river to negotiate. Wang Yuanfang disagreed upon hearing this.
"Showing a sword in front of Guan Gong's gate is quite fitting! Are you too brave?!"
"Zhao Xin, you can't do this. If that Na Qitai has any crooked ideas, we will be in big trouble!"
Facing the dissuasion, Zhao Xin said with a smile: "What are my abilities that you don't know yet? Besides, there are only ten people coming over there. Guisheng and I each have two pistols and six magazines. What's there to worry about?" of."
Although he said this, Wang Yuanfang disagreed, and finally transferred to another class and followed Zhao Xin across the river. Zhao Dadao... Bah! Zhao Xin had no choice but to agree.
When the group arrived at the gate of Guandi Temple, they saw four Qing soldiers standing guard at the gate, and a military attaché. The military attaché hurriedly took a few steps forward, cupped his fists and saluted, "I am Nayinbu, the assistant leader of Ninggu Pagoda. My Lord Dutong has been waiting for you for a long time. Please!"
Zhao Xin imitated the other party's behavior, clasped his fists and said: "It turns out to be the leader of Naxie. Are you a Mongolian? Which department do you belong to?"
Nayinbu was a little puzzled, thinking to himself, why are you asking about me? However, he still said politely: "I am from the Karaqin tribe."
"Oh." Zhao Xin nodded, turned around and told Monk Zhou, who had just been promoted to squad leader, "Leave four people standing guard outside, and the others come in with me."
"Yes." Monk Zhou saluted and ordered four people to come out and stand guard at the door. He led others to follow Guisheng and entered the temple with Zhao Xin.
When Zhao Xin and his party arrived at the side hall, Na Qitai was already waiting at the door. Now that he is approaching the city, the moment is imminent, so he doesn't have much to show off.
Zhao Xin cupped his hands and laughed and said: "Well, let's meet again!"
Seeing Zhao Xin's behavior in Beijing, Na Qitai felt unspeakably awkward. I was thinking that your special mother-in-law, a rebel under the banner of Zhu Ming, is not close to what I am trying to do here! But what he didn't know was that what Zhao Xin was thinking about at this time was Lao She's "Na Wu". A whole monkey eats mahua!
"General Zhao, please sit down."
After the two sat down and waited for tea, Qitai was about to speak when Zhao Xin took the lead and said: "Eight thousand taels."
"??"
"Eight thousand taels of gold."
Na Qitai almost yelled and said, "Why don't you go and grab it?"
Zhao Xin said with a smile: "Then I must be trying to say why I don't want to rob, but I am robbing now."
Na Qitai's face turned blue with anger and he stared at Zhao Xin. Behind him, Nayinbu and a staff member who looked like a master also had ugly expressions.
Zhao Xin ignored it at all and continued: "If you agree to this condition, we will continue the discussion, otherwise I will continue to fire at the city wall."
After a while, Na Qitai said in a deep voice: "What about other than that?"
"I don't have to fight Ninggu Pagoda, and I can return Hunchun to you." Na Qitai was overjoyed, and only heard Zhao Xin continue to say: "As far as Karen, Mongolia, in the south, Hunda Mountain in the west, and Baku Lake in the north. , east to the sea.”
"Mr. Zhao, your appetite is too big!"
Zhao Xin suppressed his smile and said with a stern face: "General, not only are these places I mentioned, but also the areas under your general's jurisdiction in Heilongjiang, and even part of Nezasak Mongolia, it was all two hundred years ago. Land under the rule of the Han people. Do you need me to remind you of the allusion to Nurgan Dusi? Those two tablets are still standing at Yongning Temple!"
In the seventh year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty promoted Nuer Ganwei to Nuer Gandu Commandery Division, referred to as "Nuer Gandu Division", and was stationed in Nuer Gancheng (today's Telin on the right bank of the confluence of Heilongjiang and Henggun Rivers in the lower reaches of Heilongjiang Province. That is the hometown of Marshal Zhengdong’s Mansion in the Yuan Dynasty). Nurgandusi was the highest-level local military-political integrated system, directly under the central government of the Ming Dynasty. The jurisdiction of the Nurgandu Division starts from the Onen River in the west, to Sakhalin Island in the east, to the Transkhinggan Mountains in the north, and to the Sea of Japan and the upper reaches of the Tumen River in the south, including the Heilongjiang River Basin, the Ussuri River Basin and even the Kuye Island.
The stone tablets Zhao Xin mentioned are the two stone tablets "Record of the Imperial Construction of Yongning Temple" and "Record of the Reconstruction of Yongning Temple in the Eighth Year of Xuande" erected in the Ming Dynasty. They are located at the intersection of Heilongjiang River and Xinggun River (today's Amugong River) On the cliff in the southeast direction.
"You're talking nonsense! This is the land of Longxing in our Qing Dynasty! It's the hometown of our Manchu Jianzhou Department!"
Zhao Xin shrugged and said with a look of disdain: "Sir, you should know better than me how Jianzhou Jurchen came to be, right?"
Na Qitai sneered and said: "Before the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, I lived here since the Tang Dynasty. The sea to the east and the Xiaohai to the north were both under the jurisdiction of the Blackwater Military Town. I raised troops towards Taizu to attack the rebels in all directions. Before the Ming Dynasty Emperor Wanli also decreed that Taizu be named "General Dragon and Tiger". These black waters and white mountains, with millions of people, are the places where our Eight Banners Manchuria has lived for generations."
Zhao Xin laughed and said: "Back then, Emperor Shenzong only appointed him as the governor of Jianzhou Zuowei, but he did not agree with him to attack Haixi. Do you need me to remind you of the jurisdiction of Jianzhou Zuowei?"
In the middle and late Yuan Dynasty, the Huli Gai tribe and the Oduoli tribe of the Jurchens who originally lived at the confluence of the Mudan River and the Songhua River began to migrate to the southeast. The Oduoli and Huli tribes migrated to the lower reaches of the Tumen River and settled at the mouth of the Hunchun River. In the fifth year of Hongwu (1372), the Udiha Jurchens attacked Xiguancheng, which was known as the "Renzi Incident" in history. The Oduoli and Huli tribes were forced to move south, and finally came to live in the upper reaches of the Tumen River. The Odori tribe is mainly distributed on both sides of the Tumen River with the Amu River as the center, while the Huli tribe is mainly distributed to the west of the Amu River.
In the ninth year of Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty's power reached the Yalu River. Ye Wang led Xu Yu, Zhou E and others to conquer the northern part of Tieling, and later the jurisdiction was expanded to Huli Gaibei. In the first year of Yongle (1403), Aha, the leader of Huli's reform tribe, went to Beijing to pay tribute. Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty appointed Aha as the commander and named him Li Chengshan.
In the second year of Yongle (1404), the Ming court sent imperial envoy Wang Keren to the Tumen River to formally establish the Jianzhou Guard. According to the research of later generations of scholars, the area initially established by Jianzhou Guard reached the Songhua River in the east and Jilin City in the north. The core city is Fengzhou (four kilometers northeast of present-day Huadian City, Jilin Province, the former site of Sumi City in the Tang Dynasty).
The place that Zhao Xin now occupies was the residential area of the Haixi Jurchens in the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, Zhao Xin finished talking about the origin of Jianzhou Guard and said calmly: "You say that this is your hometown of the Qing Dynasty, which makes no sense from a legal perspective. You banner people can only say that this is your own place of Longxing. It's just about whose sword was faster back then. As for now, our Han people's swords are faster than yours! Your army of more than 20,000 is my whetstone!"
While talking, Monk Zhou behind Zhao Xin saw Na Qitai's hand touching the handle of the waist knife several times, so his own hand also touched the holster on his waist, and he quietly opened the holster. trip buckle. Monk Zhou believed that as long as the opponent dared to draw the knife, he would be able to knock him down with one shot.
Na Qitai was almost driven crazy by Zhao Xin's nonsense. He really wanted to draw his sword and chop the opponent. He didn't understand how Zhao Xin knew these old things. He was a military general, and even though he had read a few years of books, he really didn't know as much about the historical allusions of this land as Zhao Xin. And what the other person said was too irritating! The Eight Banners warriors of the Qing Dynasty who dare to love me are your whetstones! By the way, I have to add Marshal Fu...
He looked up and saw the big black soldier behind Zhao Xin looking at him with a murderous look on his face. His heart beat wildly for a few times, and then he pinched his left hand fiercely before calming down. He understands that he is just meat on the opponent's plan and can be ravaged as much as he wants.
Tolerate! You must bear this breath!
Na Qitai asked: "Can you tell me the whereabouts of Marshal Fu?"
"He's a guest at my place. Not only him, but also Durga."
"What conditions are needed to release someone?"
"That's another matter. Ask Qianlong or someone from the Fucha family to come and talk to me. His price is something you can't afford here."
"Eight thousand taels of gold, if you withdraw your troops, will Hunchun City be returned to me?"
"Children are innocent."
"Where is Fuldan City?"
"Haha, sir, what do you think?"
"I need to raise such a large amount of money."
"Three days. I only give you three days. Once the time comes and you can't see the gold, continue to fire and demolish the city."
Na Qitai was about to cry. Although Ning Guta was considered a "big city", even if you dug three feet into the ground, you might not be able to get so much gold. He must ask for help from Agui in Wula, Jilin.
"Master Zhao, there really isn't that much gold in the city. If you want silver, ginseng, and dongzhu, I can definitely get them."
Zhao Xin thought about it and felt that it was enough. The purpose of publicity and shock has been achieved, and he did not want to waste any more time in Ninggu Pagoda, so he said: "Okay, I will take a step back and give you five thousand taels of gold, and the rest will be as you say."
Three days later, Zhao Xin received the ransom, and after verifying that it was correct, Beihai Town began to break camp and evacuate in the direction of Hunchun. What remained behind them was Ning Guta, which was three feet taller than the sky.
Na Qitai did not dare to be careless. He waited for two days before sending troops out of the city. After confirming that Zhao Xin and the others were really gone, they sent someone to report to Agui in Wula, Jilin.
Ten days later, Ningguta's Qing army carefully arrived at Hunchun City. The imagined scene of massacre did not appear in front of these Qing troops. At this time, in Hunchun City, except for a few dogs barking in the streets, there were no pedestrians inside or outside the city, and every household had its doors closed. Because all the armored soldiers previously stationed were killed, a big red cloth flag (soul flag, a Manchu custom) was erected in the yard of almost every banner family.
When the local bannermen learned that the imperial troops had finally returned, they all burst into tears, and every family was busy with funeral arrangements.
Agui, who ran back to Wula, Jilin, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that Zhao Xin had withdrawn his troops. However, he was shocked when he learned that Zhao Xin had used the banner of Qian Ming. This is a serious problem! If it is not cut off, the Qing Dynasty will never have peace!
In early October, as Agui's second apology letter arrived in Beijing, the Qing army's defeat could no longer be concealed. The seventy-four-year-old Qianlong was furious after learning that out of more than 20,000 people, only more than 1,000 people had escaped, and that Fukang'an and Duerjia had been captured.
To raise the banner of the Qianming Dynasty in the Longxing land of the Qing Dynasty was like inserting a knife into Qianlong's heart. It must be done properly to raise troops to attack! But when to use troops must be carefully discussed. After this battle, Eight Banners Manchuria was already wounded. If the Green Battalion were to be mobilized to go north, careful planning would be necessary.
But even if we want to raise troops for another crusade, a few things still need to be done first. The first was to send the guards of the Qianqing Palace to Wula, Jilin, to detain Agui for questioning, and then to convict him after the imperial envoys arrived. The second was to order the eighth son of the emperor Yongxuan, the co-organizer and the minister of household affairs He Shen to serve as imperial envoys and go to Jilin. Ula, find out the reasons for the defeat; third, adjust the Red Banner Guards Commander, Ili Counselor Minister, Acting Wush Counselor Mingliang, act as Jilin General, and at the same time order the 3,000 people from Ili to garrison the Eight Banners to move to Jilin Ula.
Finally, it is to issue an edict to tell the world clearly about one's sins. The Qing government couldn't hide such a big thing even if it wanted to. However, Qianlong still wanted to downplay the matter, so a painless edict appeared in the eyes of the world:
"I admire Cheng Haokui. During the sixty years since I became emperor, I have always been fearful. I have been cautious every day, and I have not dared to be idle. I have taught the government every day. If I don't slack off, I will be pious and devoted to the people of the world. I will share the blessing of peace. Bandits and bandits will cause chaos and steal possessions. In the place where our dynasty originated, I am wary and restless. I respectfully read the records of Emperor Sheng Zuren, which contains the Battle of Yaksa in the 22nd year of Kangxi. The Holy Ancestor said that the way to govern a country is to ensure long-term peace and stability. The plan is only for a moment. The great admonition is that the teachings are profound, and I should abide by the holy precepts.
When there is nothing wrong with peace, I will always take care of it. That is to say, the battle of Dingbei seems not to be very important, but it is the most important thing to do. However, the soldiers are expensive and the camera moves, and the changes are endless. However, the generals did not follow my instructions, causing the opportunity to be lost. Although I warned you again and again, the officials failed to understand and acted carelessly. Any shortcomings in political affairs are all my fault, not the fault of the emperor..."
In mid-October, Zhao Xin, who had arrived at the Sheyang Lake Farm in northern Jiangsu, couldn't help laughing when he saw Qianlong's "Edict on Sin".
"Since this old man has decided to issue the "Edict of Sin", regardless of whether it is true or not, he must at least adopt a humble and respectful attitude or empathize with others, instead of just showing off his merits or proclaiming his hard work and talking about the people below him. Don't listen to his instructions. This is not an admission of mistake, it's just an acceptance speech!"
