August of the 20th year of Qianlong's reign
Mulan Paddock, Mongolian Karaqin, Dureng, King Zhaxi and Wengniute
The territory of the town’s Duke Wu Tate.
The famous summer resort in Chengde, Hebei Province
In 1681, Kangxi made his second northern inspection tour and designated more than 14,000 square kilometers of hunting grounds in the name of "Pastures Presented by Karaqin, Aohan, and Wengniute Banners."
At this time, Qianlong was holding a happy "Mulan Autumn Festival" with his princes and grandchildren.
Qianlong believed that he was superior to his father Yongzheng in martial arts and martial arts, so every year he would come here to hold a grand event called "Mulan Autumn Monkey".
Yongzheng did not come to Duweichang once in the thirteen years of his reign. Until his death, he only gave instructions: "The descendants of the future generations should follow the emperor's instructions, practice martial arts, and never Don't forget the family law."
"Snapped…"
A clear gunshot
At this moment, a pheasant that was surrounded by the Eight Banners Forbidden Army was killed by Qianlong with his beloved golden flintlock.
Unlike Kangxi who liked to shoot rabbits, Qianlong preferred to shoot pheasants.
Looking at the killed pheasant, Qianlong was very satisfied with his shooting skills. At that time, Kangxi boasted that he had shot 318 rabbits in one day, and he was hailed as the "Terminator" of rabbits by later generations. Qianlong has always targeted his "holy ancestor" Kangxi. Although there is no record of how many pheasants he shot in a day, the "terminator" of pheasants will be his goal.
"This firearm is comfortable to use. It must not be left among the people, otherwise the rebellion will be in trouble." Qianlong thought secretly in his heart.
"It seems that we need to strengthen the Confucian theory of strange and obscene techniques."
In the same month, Qianlong issued an order to the Eight Banners to refrain from imitating the habits of the Han people and not to communicate with the Han people.
Guangzhou suburbs
Looking from a distance, you can see that every piece of farmland here has been expanded to the most extreme position, and every piece of field leaves no open space, because it will be able to plant an extra row of seedlings and produce a lot of millet. .
If it were not for keeping the small field edges for pedestrians and dividing the ownership of the fields. It is estimated that there will not be any open space left.
In August, after harvesting the first season of rice, it is time to plant the second season of rice in an effort to prepare for the second harvest of the year.
Fortunately, it had rained heavily a few days ago. At this time, the fields were being irrigated by streams and blocked with water to raise seedlings.
Not far from these farmlands is a village with houses made of mud bricks and straw roofs.
In the southwest of the village, next to a tall longan tree, there is an ordinary straw straw house.
Entering the inner room, you can see a longer couplet written on the door couplet of the inner room, which reads: The earth shakes the high hills, and the streams and mountains are beautiful for thousands of years; the door faces the sea, and the Sanhe River flows for thousands of years.
At this time, three middle-aged men in the room were sitting together around the Eight Immortals table in the hall. I saw that their clothes were simple and they had the same hair style with money hanging rat tail.
"Master Qin Xiang, has anything happened in Guangzhou recently?" The man near the window of the house was seen holding a cigarette rod, taking a puff of cigarette, and said.
At this moment, the man sitting on his left was about to get up and answer him, but saw the man knocking on the table with his cigarette pole and saying to him: "Master Qin Xiang, why are you so polite? Sit down! We are all our brothers here. , no need to be polite."
"Yes, thank you Marshal for your understanding." Master Qin Xiang, who had already stood up, saluted the man with a finger-guessing gesture, then sat down and continued:
"There are currently two things that attract more attention in Guangzhou City. One is that the Ten Shaolin Tigers Hong Xiguan, Fang Shiyu and others are recruiting disciples in Guangzhou City and are preparing to fight against the Wudang Sect."
"Oh? This matter is indeed interesting! It is said that the people in Southern Shaolin have a close relationship with our Tiandihui. Now the two factions between them are like life-and-death enemies. The people in this martial arts world really cannot afford this kind of rebellion. The great cause of Qing Dynasty and Ming Dynasty."
"Who says it's not the case? What they can do to fight against the Qing Dynasty is just a small fuss. The ones who have always made this a big deal are people like us in the Tiandihui." At this moment, the man on the right of the marshal said
"Yes, Brother Sixteen. In every dynasty and in every generation, poor brothers like us have built their empire." Master Qin Xiang saluted the man who spoke.
"I said, Lord Qin Xiang has told you this several times. As the helmsman said, there is no need to be formal. Why are you always so reserved?"
"Brother Sixteen, this ceremony cannot be invalidated. Although you don't treat me as an outsider, you still need to have the etiquette as a subordinate."
"Yeah...yeah...I'm not too lazy to talk to you anymore!" Liu Shiliu said as he shook his sleeves, with the attitude of "you can do whatever you want."
"Okay, fourth child. I don't even want to talk about you. We are all brothers who are suffering from our own family. We are different from the Tiandihui in other places. Don't make your own people uncomfortable." Li Muying, the leader of the Tiandihui, vomited. After taking a few puffs of cigarette, he said slowly
As Li Muying said, the Tiandihui has not yet formed a unified process at this time. Tiandihui originated from Fujian and was later introduced to Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan and other places. Note 1
In ancient times, there was no such thing as intellectual property protection, so you could call it the Heaven and Earth Society, and I could also call it the Heaven and Earth Society. Everyone calls themselves the Heaven and Earth Society, but they are not affiliated with each other.
It was Wang Yunlong of Fujian in the 26th year of Qianlong's reign who really attracted the attention of the government. Therefore, strictly speaking, the current Tiandihui is a chaotic mess.
At this time, most of the members of the Tiandihui were people from the lower classes who were suffering, and there were relatively few intellectuals... Note 2
…
"Yes, helmsman." Master Tan Xia Lu Xiang replied
"You said two things, what is the other one?" Li Muying nodded and asked before putting the cigarette rod into his mouth.
"It's like this. We recently found out that the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi and the garrison generals all over the city have been frequently calling on the big families in the city to collect donations to suppress bandits. It is said that more than two million taels of silver have been raised at this time." Tan Xialu said a little unbearably. I kept licking my dry mouth.
"Oh? More than two million taels of silver? That's a lot! It would be great if we could rob this silver. However, we have such a group of gangsters in Guangdong and need so much silver?" At this time, Tan Xialu heard Liu Shiliu couldn't help but ask
"Yeah, I didn't know there were such gangsters here? Are they worthy of the attention of a governor and a general?" Li Muying was also very confused and didn't even smoke the cigarette he had already lit with a fire stick.
"Well, they are not here to deal with the gangsters here, but from Guangxi." Qin Xialu explained.
"Guangxi?" Liu Shiliu was a little confused.
"He was talking about Zhang Rui some time ago. It is said that he was a rebel who was personally controlled by Qianlong. It seems that he was also unlucky. Qianlong, who was tens of thousands of miles away, had never even seen his face, so he just said that he They are rebels." Li Muying put down the cigarette rod in his hand and said to Liu Shiliu
