September of the 20th year of Qianlong's reign
Amulsa, the left deputy general of Dingbian, went to court. He rebelled on the way, plundered the Irtysh station, and attacked Ili.
After all kinds of wrangling discussions in the Manchu and Qing court, no conclusion was reached.
There is no way, since this year's case of Hu Zhongzao's "Jian Mo Sheng Shi Copy". The ministers of the imperial court were all cautious. I would rather not do well than make too many mistakes. Who knows if I will be confiscated and executed just for saying one wrong thing?
In November of the year before last, Liu Zhenyu, a student member of Jiangxi Province, was beheaded because his book "New Policies for Peace" contained the words "change the clothes system"!
After all, in our Qing Dynasty, there is no such thing as cheating and fighting, so as an official in our Qing Dynasty, you can only protect yourself wisely by flattering people.
Just like Liu Tongxun not long ago. Didn’t you do a military aircraft service tour? so what?
The imperial court ordered him to inspect the troops garrisoned in Barkol and Hami. He happened to encounter Mursana's troops harassing Ili; General Yongchang of Dingxi retreated to Barkol due to exhaustion.
Based on this, he reported that he should abandon Barkol and retreat to Hami.
Emperor Qianlong was furious and immediately dismissed him and escorted him back to Beijing. His son was also handed over to the Ministry of Punishment, and his family assets were used for military purposes. 1
So say it! In our Qing Dynasty, being an official is a wise choice because you know how to flatter and bully people.
As for what makes a capable minister? Don't be ridiculous, being undefeated is a victory, being able to rise steadily is a blessing.
Military Aircraft Department of the Forbidden City of the Qing Dynasty
September has entered late autumn, and the weather is getting a little cold. At this time, heating had also begun to be provided in the military aircraft room.
In the Military Aircraft Department, military aircraft Zhang Jing were busy one after another.
After the morning court, Qianlong finished his breakfast and went to the military aircraft office to work.
Qianlong sat on the main seat of the Military Aircraft Department, and the Minister of Military Aircraft came to Bao and was given the opportunity to sit below.
"What is your opinion on the matter of Amulsana?" Qianlong was in a bad mood because he failed to come to a conclusion on the matter this morning. So he asked the military minister Lai Bao who was on duty at this time.
Although the Minister of Military Aircraft Department said: "It is only for narration and writing, and no praise or painting can be included in it."
However, the emperor is also a human being. When you are in a bad mood and have trouble making a decision, you still want to listen to other people's opinions.
This is why the military ministers and military commanders who look like mere secretaries are so enviable and fearful by the outside world.
Military planes disposed of full houses and Han houses. The Manchu (Han) House was commonly known internally as the Manchu (Han) House, and externally it was called the Manchu (Han) Military Aircraft Department, with Manchu and Han Zhangjing serving respectively. In addition to handling Manchu and Chinese imperial edicts and memorials, his duties were divided into two.
The Manwuzhang is responsible for the replacement of officials in the Beijing Banner Camp and the provincial garrison and the northwest two military camps. He is responsible for preparing reward lists for tributes from Inner Mongolia, Outer Mongolia, vassals and lamas, and is in charge of the administrative work of the Military Aircraft Department itself;
The Hanwu handles the supplementary orders for civil and military officials in the capital and various provinces, as well as the military officers of the green camp, the reward orders for princes and foreign ministers and the reward orders to be given to foreign tributary envoys, handles the affairs that need to be investigated and handled by the emperor, and is responsible for military aircraft The office's external relations, file management and other work. 2
That's why Qianlong asked Lai Bao like this.
"Your Majesty, this Amursana came to us to surrender to the Qing Dynasty just to use our hands to get rid of Dawaqi." I saw Laibao slowly stood up from his seat and bowed to Qianlong. said:
"Now that Dawaqi was captured, it was the time when Amursana was so proud that he thought he could become the four great khans of Erut. But he did not expect that our lord, the Holy Ming, would divide Erut into four great khans. That’s why he jumped over the wall in a hurry.”
"What Aiqing said makes sense, so how do you think the court should deal with him?" Qianlong asked
"Back to the emperor, this servant thought that Amursana was like a child. He started to behave and wallow when he couldn't get what he wanted. He should be beaten when he should be beaten, otherwise he would not know the majesty of the court and would only Get worse." Laibao said respectfully.
While Qianlong listened to Lai Bao's words, although his face was expressionless, he kept nodding in approval in his heart.
Laibao saw Qianlong just sitting there quietly, so he continued:
"However, I think that the court might as well issue an edict to appease Amursana before attacking him. On the one hand, it can show the benevolence of the court, and on the other hand, it can also give the court more time to prepare."
"If the recruitment is successful, then the court does not need to go to war, which is naturally a good thing. Even if the recruitment is unsuccessful, then the court will have moral rights by beating him. There is no need to care about the criticism of other tribes in the grassland."
"What I say makes sense, it's indeed a good idea." Qianlong couldn't help but agree after hearing what Lai Bao said.
Suddenly, Qianlong thought of Liu Tongxun, who had been dismissed from his post and escorted back to Beijing by his decree not long ago. His memorial seems to have this meaning as well.
Therefore, Qianlong looked at Lai Bao as if for no reason and asked, "What do you think of Liu Tongxun, Ai Qing?"
After listening to Qianlong's words, Laibao couldn't help but be shocked: What does Emperor Qianlong mean? Do you think what I said is too much?
"Your Majesty, everything is arranged by the Holy One. How can I have a slave's opinion?" I saw that Laibao was still a little excited when he said it.
"My dear, you are too worried. I just asked casually. You can just treat it as a casual chat." Qianlong said happily.
"Yes, I understand. I think Liu Tongxun is one of the capable ministers." Laibao said with some speculation.
Since Qianlong was talking about Liu Tongxun at this time, he naturally did not want to say anything bad about Liu Tongxun.
It's just that Liu Tongxun was also the first one to be confused. He, a good Han Chinese, had nothing to do to write a letter to discuss military affairs? Is this something he, a Han minister, can discuss?
"Really? I didn't expect that Liu Tongxun was actually a capable minister in Aiqing's eyes." Qianlong said with some surprise.
"I'm ashamed of myself, but judging from what he did in the past, what he did was pretty good. That's why I think so." Laibao explained slowly.
After listening to Laibao's words, Qianlong made a decision in his heart.
"Yes, this Liu Tongxun is indeed a capable minister. He just doesn't understand the court system very well, so he still needs to sharpen his skills. I hope he can 'sober up' this time and stop causing trouble for me."
Qianlong was thinking in his heart while looking at Laibao under the table. Somehow, he suddenly remembered that night that he had forgotten for a long time.
At that time, it was still the same Liu Tongxun.
At that time, he was looking at Liu Tongxun who was kneeling on the ground.
At that time, he also praised Liu Tongxun as a good minister.
However, there is a guy named Zhang Rui who is even more ignorant than Liu Tongxun when he talks about the national war.
How dare you not kneel before the court?
I don’t know if Yang Yingju and Gualjaxitku took his head off for me.
After such a long time, I almost forgot about such a person. No news came.
These two minions don't let me worry about it either.
