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 named 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?"
Na Qitai naturally didn't need any introductions. He hugged Zhao Xin with a serious face as a courtesy, and introduced several generals and civil servants behind him to Zhao Xin. Zhao Xin smiled and greeted them one by one with fists.
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, it was not easy to be too polite to Zhao Xin, so he just nodded slightly.
After everyone sat down at the east and west tables, Liu Yong spoke first.
"I heard that your Excellency defeated Rakshasa in Heilongjiang City and Yaksa. I learned that the soldiers pointed out that they had 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, in charge of the troops and horses across 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 Xinda 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?" Confused?"
Beginning in the spring of the 51st year of Qianlong's reign - that is, after Fukangan and a group of captives were redeemed by Qianlong with gold, an extremely secretive investigation began under Qianlong's personal supervision and Heshen was specifically responsible for this matter. The level of secrecy is second only to that of Qianlong's crown prince.
The core of the entire investigation is three things: Who is Zhao Xin? Where did it come from? Where is his home?
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 bodyguards at Niangan and the officials from the Ministry of Punishment reviewed all the household registration registers, monk and Taoist circulation records, and the relevant records of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Eight Banners in all states, prefectures, and counties in the 23 provinces in the world.
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 also drew on some practices of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties.
Unless someone jumped out of a rock and was born and bred, there is bound to be a record on the file.
As we all know, the Qing Dynasty established the Ming Dynasty, so at the beginning, the household registration management and household registration classification were also based on the method of "household registration is determined by registration". According to the Household Regulations in Volume 8 of the "Laws of the Qing Dynasty", all military, civilian, post, kitchen, medical, divination, craftsman, and music households are determined by their registration; 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, and directly linked the increase in population in various places to the performance evaluation of officials.
It is said that the purpose of establishing household registration in feudal society was to control the household registration of as many people as possible so that they could pay taxes and work as errands, thus ensuring the country's fiscal and tax revenue and the dispatch of corvee labor. Therefore, under this premise, there were endless phenomena of officials in the past dynasties committing fraud in order 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 food and inaccurate numbers of people became more serious, Kangxi adopted the method of "growing people in prosperous times and never adding taxes". Since the population will never be enriched, hiding the household registration will lose its meaning. This also laid the foundation for the policy of "dividing a small person into an acre" implemented by Yongzheng.
Some people in later generations always said that Kangxi's words were just a smoke bomb. He did not really mean to be frivolous and to be rich, but just a gimmick to win favor. Didn’t you see that after the Daoguang Dynasty, there were various additional taxes, such as floating taxes, fire expenses, gold, mineral taxes, etc., and they were all listed under 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 spread 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, the Baojia Law was implemented based on Wang Yangming's "Ten Family Cards Law". This is also the basis of the household registration management system popular in later generations of China.
The specific method is to compile a Baojia, give each household a house number, write down the name of its parents and the number of its male children, and update it every year. The ten cards are cards, and the cards have heads; the ten cards are armor, and the armor has length; the armor is the guarantee, and the integrity is maintained.
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 "Smoking 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, either reported to the county on the first day of the month, or replaced 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 will be included in the jade certificate, and the red belt will be included in the red book. When an ordinary Banner family has a child, they must immediately report it to their Banner leader and log in to the "registration file."
The "registration files" of the Eight Banners are based on households, one for each household, and the members of each household have detailed records. Including the head of the household's banner, clan, household, relationship with the head of the household, gender, marital status, status, name, age, date of birth, death, and the names and occupations of the three generations of fathers and ancestors, etc. In addition, the slaves under his family also It is registered in the register and is attached to the back of the household registration book. It also contains the names of his father and grandparents. At the same time, the source of his grandfather's identity must be checked. He was either bought by deed, brought from Shengjing, or bought with land as a deposit, or bought by white deed. At the same time, It is required to be shown in the household register.
Gu Hua said that He Shen and a group of people had been secretly investigating for two years, and they still couldn't figure out Zhao Xin's origins and whether he really had this name. Let alone Zhao Xin, they didn't even find Liu Sheng.
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. But Heshen and his people searched through the red and yellow books of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the files of ordinary bannermen, but could not find any information related to Zhao Xin.
The Lan Ling guards met all the Han, Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners who were about the same age as Zhao Xin. None of them looked like Zhao Xin, and they couldn't get any information. The Clan Mansion also reviewed all previously imprisoned clan families, and they were exactly the same as those recorded in the Yellow Book.
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 no one had ever heard of it, whether it was England or France, or merchants and sailors from the Netherlands, Spain, Australia and Portugal. Some foreign sailors even responded in surprise, weren't the big iron ships built by the Qing Dynasty?
Qianlong even asked Bai Tanga from the stick-stick department to secretly take a boat to Nagasaki and meet 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 also been secretly investigating Zhao Xin's origins. They have always wanted to understand why Zhao Xin was so hostile to the Tokugawa shogunate. They checked here and there, and finally found out that in the winter of the third year of Tianming, Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng had appeared in a large white boat on the sea near Aomori, and took away more than 300 hungry people.
Looking further, nothing can be found. Of course, it would be damning if we could find out!
(Some book friends said that the Qing Dynasty could be passed off as this or that. To tell you the truth, you can’t pass off anything. A cycle book can lock people up tightly. Whether it’s Lin Shuangwen’s Rebellion or Su Shishisan’s Uprising , the most important thing that feudal society treats 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 find something, there is basically nothing that cannot be found. If you can't find it yourself, you can check his accomplices, and the truth will eventually come to light.
But Zhao Xin’s true identity cannot be found out!
At this point, not only Heshen, but also Qianlong was panicked. To be precise, he was scared. It's called knowing yourself and the enemy, but if you don't even know the other party's details, how can you deal with it?
It would be fine if he was really a descendant of Zhu Youyi, the last king of Zhao, 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 big ships? If he had a few more similar ships, the imperial court would be forced to issue a "sea ban", and no one would be able to deal with him!
Fortunately, Zhao Xing just finished defeating Ninggu Pagoda and turned around to deal with Rakshasa. If he 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 to himself that this man in this barren land could still retain his 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 looked serious. Although he and Na Qitai had discussed the details of the confrontation with Zhao Xin many times before, he never expected 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. I don't think you dare to gather a group of Japanese refugees to fight against the Celestial Empire. You have repeatedly narrowly defeated our imperial army. You alone can defeat Rakshasa." If you can't break up your army and expand your territory, you can truly be considered a man! As Zhu Zi said, he is a good person who is upright and upright. What on earth are you afraid of saying? "
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 little bastard, so damn slippery! Liu Yong almost cursed in Zhucheng dialect.
In fact, in order to find out the details of Zhao Xin, he has searched through related collections and historical documents from 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, the Qing troops fell into Nanxiong and Shaozhou, and pressed directly into 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 fell into Huizhou. Huang Yingjie, the commander-in-chief of Huizhou in the Southern Ming Dynasty, Li Shilian, the Taoist minister, and Lin Zongjing, the prefect of Huizhou, etc., seeing that the situation was over, they took the former Ming Zhao king Zhu Youping and other kings to surrender to the Qing army.
After Huang Yingjie and others presented the city to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, they massacred all the princes of the former Ming Dynasty and their families. Due to the good looks of the princesses, Princess Pang of Xinghua was possessed by the camp general Wang Shihuai. She hanged her four-year-old daughter and set up a memorial tablet for her husband, and then hanged herself with her clothes. Princess Zheng, the loyal princess, was possessed by Taoist minister Li Shilian. She never obeyed, and later she hanged herself and her body was thrown into the river. Princess Ziyang was possessed by the commander-in-chief Huang Yingjie and refused to obey. Huang Yingjie was afraid that she would escape, so he stripped her shirt and imprisoned her in a secret room. Finally, the princess took off her clothes when Huang Yingjie was not prepared. His lower clothes were tied into a rope and he 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 Ming Dynasty's notes, it was vaguely written that King Zhao had an infant son at the time, and his whereabouts were unknown later.
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? Since such a large territory has been conquered, wouldn't it be good to restore the surname Zhu?
Who did he learn this eloquent Bannerman Mandarin from? Why does he know the secret history of the Manchus? Could it be that he really had a master who was a descendant of a wandering clan? Otherwise there is no explanation at all.
At this time, Zhao Xin smiled faintly and said to Liu Yong: "Master Liu, don't bother, you can just talk about the 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, who was next to him, was so frightened that his buttocks were unsteady, and he fell upside down and fell to the ground with his chair.
"Ouch~~ Well, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Please wipe it with a towel."
Facing Zhao Xin, Na Qitai could neither be anxious nor annoyed. He could only put on a look of resentment, while wiping his face, thinking to himself, who did I provoke?
