Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 130

The fourth day of June.Chengde Mountain Resort.

During the day, Qianlong went to Shuxiang Temple and Guang'an Temple in the Outer Eight Temples to burn incense.The former is a Lama Temple built in the 39th year of Qianlong, known as "Qianlong Family Temple".This is because in the system of Tibetan Buddhism, the emperors of the unified dynasty in the Central Plains are all regarded as the reincarnation of Manjushri Bodhisattva.

After Yujia returned to the palace at the second quarter, Qianlong went to the Yanyu Tower to prepare for dinner.

你没看错，清代皇帝都是下午2-3点吃晚饭；3-5点继续处理政务，5-8点娱乐，8点上床睡觉，早上4点起床。

At this time, Qinggui rushed to Lizheng Gate and asked to see the driver. As soon as he handed over the sign, he saw Heshen's sedan chair also arrived.He has a mediocre physique, and this time he came here overnight from the capital, his whole body was sore, thinking that he might be seriously ill again this time.

At this time, there were not many officials waiting outside Lizheng's gate, and they were all chatting and gossiping in the shed outside the gate.At this time, seeing He Shen's sedan chair falling down, they got up from the pergola one after another regardless of the afternoon sun exposure.It's not a greeting, it's a flattery.

Qing Gui had a calm temper and didn't want to offend this hot and popular figure, so he went outside with him and exchanged pleasantries with He Shen.

He Shen first asked his subordinates to hand over the signs, and then said hello to the people who approached him while talking and laughing. He took good care of everyone for a while, and none of the people present felt that they were being left out.

"Mr. Shu Zhai, when did you arrive?" He Shen asked Qing Gui, cupping his hands with a smile.

"Thanks to Zhongtang, the trip went smoothly. I didn't arrive until noon today. I heard that the emperor went to Shuxiang Temple to burn incense early in the morning. So I came here directly to pass the sign." Qing Gui took two steps closer and asked Heshen in a low voice: "Zhongtang, Did the emperor call me here because of Jilin's affairs?"

He Shen nodded with a smile and said: "The book of the previous Marshal Fu has arrived. The emperor said that he should listen to Shu Zhaigong's opinion on this matter."

Qinggui was about to ask again, when she heard Li's call at the main gate: "Long Live Lord, He Shen is here to meet you!"

He Shen smiled and nodded with everyone around him, turned around and went in.

Qianlong just finished his meal and was rinsing his mouth.Seeing He Shen coming in, he didn't say a word, and pointed to the scorpion in the room for him to sit down.After he finished wiping his face with a hot towel, he said, "Is Qinggui here?"

"Here we come. The slave happened to meet me when I was outside the door just now, waiting to be called in."

Qianlong was very excited at this time, and said to He Shen: "Tell me a few words with you first, and call him later."

"Last night before the key was released, Yong Yan came in and chatted with me for a long time. One was the Northwest, and the other was Jilin. Although Tian Wu had been wiped out in the Northwest, the rest of the party, Ma Huzi, Li Huzi and others, dared to gather a crowd to make a fuss. Attacking cities and looting fortresses is like the White Lotus Sect among monks. Today, I have dispatched soldiers from Beijing, Sichuan, Alashan, Ordos, and Mongolian soldiers from all over the place, and rushed to the northwest to assist in the suppression. What a clown, even mobilized soldiers Only then can it be wiped out."

He Shen said with a smile: "Master, there is no need to worry. Ah Zhongtang is also a man who has fought for a long time. If there are some rebels, he can't help but fight."

Qianlong said again: "It's a pity that Fukang'an went to Jilin, otherwise it would not be so difficult to be with Agui."

He Shen felt a little bit of a taste in his heart.Not to mention Yong Yan, Fu Kang'an was no less favored by Qianlong than him.But he really didn't understand Zhanzhenyi, so he replied: "The prime minister is responsible for the unrest in the country. It's all the fault of the slaves. The land of Longxing in the Northeast was illegally occupied by the Oros people. Those who are all-rounder and know the affairs of the barbarians do well.

But as far as Jilin is concerned, it is really not enough to worry about Jin Lao Sheng.Fukang'an zhezi said that the Hubei people camped on the shore thousands of miles southeast of Ningguta, cutting wood and repairing ships.The slaves thought that the population in the bitter cold land was sparse; when winter came, the Hubei people would leave if they couldn't bear it.The slave feels that even if he does not send troops, it is a matter of winning! "

"You don't want to send troops after planting the fields?" Qianlong frowned. "Should the E people stand still, like Yaksa back then, how many soldiers would it take to pacify them? When the ancestors went on an expedition to Yaksa, although the first battle was settled, the E people went back two years later, and their thieves were not dead. If the Hubei people are still wandering in the South China Sea for a long time this time, who can guarantee that they will not harass Shenyang?"

He Shen raised his head and glanced at Qianlong, and saw that the emperor was not angry, so he said cautiously: "The master is a bright candle. The slave is only based on reason. The slave will send gunpowder and silver food to Jilin as soon as possible. There is a lot of money. Give some, let Fukang'an purchase gunpowder and food in North Korea, and save the cost of the journey."

Qianlong nodded, and then said to the eunuch beside him, "Call Qinggui to come in."

Taking advantage of this time, Qianlong said to Heshen again: "Don't help him with Anlin's affairs. This person is extremely despicable, and I asked Fu Kang'an to send him to be a groom. I heard that you still help him shut down? "

When He Shen heard this, he quickly knelt down and bowed his head and said: "I don't dare, I don't know who said this, it's all a matter of nothing. Shengming has no faults with the master. An Lin gave some to the slave during the Chinese New Year." Silver, the slave has already handed over all the silver to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This kind of money slaves absolutely dare not take!
However, An Lin's old mother was old and had only one son under her knees, so she asked someone to find the slave to intercede.The slave thought how pitiful it was for the 80-year-old lady without a son to take care of her, so she just mentioned it. "

Qianlong sighed and said: "You have worked for the imperial court for many years. I know the hard work, but others don't. When things start, they must have a beginning. Honor and disgrace must be like their virtues. Meat rots out worms, fish withers beetles. Neglect and forget yourself, disasters will happen... I am old, not to mention knowing everything, but there will always be rumors. I am very pleased that you are thinking about me in your heart. But you have to guard against rumors!"

He Shen lay on the ground, with red eyes, and said with a choked voice: "Without the cultivation of the master, how can there be a slave today? This kindness is so high that it is hard to repay the world! The slave only wants to repay the master's kindness!"

A quarter of an hour later, Qing Gui entered the hall.Qianlong waited for him to salute before asking: "Qinggui, have you read Fukang'an's book?"

"The slave has already read the copy from the Military Aircraft Department."

"What do you think of the 'oilfield specialist' that Fukang'an mentioned?"

"Returning to the master, the oil surname is rare. Before the servant left, he asked the household department to check. Most of the people with the oil surname live in Heze, Shandong, and no one in the clan has ever been assigned to Ningguta. So how could this person be with It’s not clear yet how the Oros people got involved. But the servant has already written a letter to the governor of Shandong and sent someone to visit Heze.”

Qianlong nodded slightly noncommittal, and then said lightly: "Fu Kang'an's book said that he recruited a thousand sailors from North Korea. You have served as General Jilin these years, what do you think of the North Korean navy?"

Qing Gui thought for a while and replied: "The current king of the Li Dynasty is called Li Zhen. I heard that this person is able to control the 'two factions of time and seclusion' in the court with ease, and he has some skills. He is also very respectful to my dynasty. A few years ago, people also set up a strong camp and practiced it strictly to investigate smuggling at sea. Therefore, the slaves think it should be not bad."

"Well. Since you're here, don't rush to go back. I'll go to Elder Brother Shiwu with He Shen to help me with the details. I always feel that something is wrong with Jilin."

"Hey!" He Shen raised his eyes and saw that Qianlong was tired, and knew that the performance was coming to an end, so he and Qinggui saluted and left.

Near the mouth of the Fuljaha River, more than 2000 miles away from Chengde, Fukang'an and his troops are landing.

At this time, the originally clear sea surface had become gray, and the sky began to drizzle.Dozens of warships with walls and masts in the bay are swaying and swaying gently.The originally calm sea was no longer blue, but dark.The sky was low and the clouds were dark, and the waves on the vast sea rushed to the beach with foam.

Fukang'an looked up at the dense black forest of Sihet Mountain in the distance, and the velvet on the banner behind him was trembling in the wind.It was the first time for the Jilin Ula garrison soldiers who boarded the ship to go to sea, and they vomited while sailing on the ship.At this moment, apart from more than 100 Hunchun armored soldiers, the cavalrymen from Ula, Jilin were all pale, and their legs were limp when they arrived on the shore;

When Fukang'an saw the state of his soldiers, he was very angry.But he knew that Jilin was not in the south, and these Man Han Xiaoqi were not used to water warfare, so it was not easy for them to persevere.Moreover, it was raining again, and it was inconvenient to fire the musket.

"Set up camp immediately!"

One of Batulu's guards saluted and replied: "Biao Xia obeys the order!"

Hai Lancha is arranging for the [-] forwards who have disembarked to go out to check.

At this time, the pre-combat investigation methods of the Manchu Qing army were no different from those in the early Qing Dynasty.The scouting work of the Eight Banners Army is generally carried out by the forwards in the army; that is, the so-called "shrewd, brave, resourceful and farsighted".

The ancient scouts also had to camouflage before going out, such as wearing shoes imitating the footprints of wild animals to avoid leaving human footprints when going out; sometimes they also wore hats decorated with bird feathers to hide in the bushes between.

The Song Dynasty's "Wu Jing Zong Yao" said that by observing the traces of water, you can judge the time when the enemy crosses the river; by observing the shaking of trees in the forest, you can know the speed of the enemy's action; It is deliberately used by the enemy to make us suspicious; if the birds in the sky do not land, there must be ambushes below.If the beast flees in fright, the enemy is preparing to attack.

Because large troops usually march on relatively spacious roads, the vehicles transporting food, grass and luggage must be able to pass.Moreover, when marching, there are also requirements for the width of the team, otherwise the troops will not be able to display their strength.These require scouts to carry out reconnaissance to determine the marching route.

The detection range of the forwards of the Qing army generally ranged from twenty miles to dozens of miles. They had to set up signal contact points within visual distance and use red flags to communicate with each other.Depending on the field of vision and weather conditions, forwards usually use a distance of one mile as a communication unit, and then continue to extend.

In addition, the scouts can also measure the ups and downs of the terrain with simple tools to find water sources; and set up a cordon around the camp.

After Hai Lancha made the arrangements, he saw Fu Kang'an frowning and his face was full of thoughts.He exchanged glances with several Baturu guards, and those guards shook their heads quietly to express their ignorance.

This Marshal Fu is usually not like this!
"Marshal, what's on your mind?" Hai Lancha approached and asked in a low voice.

Fukang'an turned around and looked at the gray sea horizon in the distance, and said, "I always feel that there is something I didn't expect. But what is it?"

Hailancha is an old man who has fought wars. He considered it carefully for a while, and reviewed it from the beginning to the end from the preparations before sending troops to the landing. "There is no omission? What's wrong with this inexplicable worry about gain and loss?"

Hailancha suppressed the question in his heart and said to Fukan'an: "Marshal, we have already planned this battle well, and you have prepared everything well before the expedition. I think...you are tired from the boat right?"

Fu Ankang thought about it, it might be the case, he hadn't been out to sea in these years.Maybe it was because he didn't get used to the waves. He shook his head vigorously, and said to Hai Lancha with a smile: "Maybe I'm worrying too much. Let's go! Go ashore and have a look!"

After camping in the evening, the liaison ship from the North Korean navy finally arrived.It was Liu Linhan, a general of the Li Dynasty, and two envoys of the Qing court who came here.

Fukang'an and his generals didn't care about eating, and immediately held a military meeting.Judging from the information from the North Korean Navy, the "Eros" on the Xila River have not moved. It seems that their big ship is still being repaired.

It was already dark at this time, and the news from the scout had not come back, so Fukang'an decided to wait.He must be patient if he wants to be determined in the first battle.

On the once uninhabited coast, the slanting wind and drizzle still did not stop.In the big camp, some lamp oil was splashed on the warming bonfire, and it burned blazingly, dispelling the chill of the armored soldiers.Hailancha specially ordered the soldiers to cook a few large pots of pepper soup, and each soldier was given a large bowl.After the soldiers received their dinner, they all went back to the tent and devoured it hungrily; dozens of Han slaves carried fodder and began to take care of the horses.

At this time, the four of Ding Guofeng were all wearing auspicious clothes with leaves and weeds stuck in them. They were lying in the bushes on the hillside 500 meters north of the Qing army's camp, observing the Qing Dynasty through an infrared night vision telescope. Army camp.

What he held in his hand was a Zeiss NV 5.6X62T infrared night vision telescope.Relying on the principle of weak light enhancement, this night vision goggle can capture the low light scattered on the object, and after being strengthened 2 times, it will appear on the phosphorescent screen of the night vision goggle.It can observe shadow objects 5.6 meters away at night with a magnification of 500 times.This night vision device was originally used to observe wild animals.After trying it out, Zhao Xin felt that the performance was not bad, so he bought it for Ding Guofeng and the others to use as a reconnaissance device.

The four of them arrived here in the evening.From Beihai Town to here, the straight-line distance on the map is only more than 20 miles, but the four of them traveled more than 40 miles to get here.There is no road in the mountains and forests, and it depends on four people to travel.

"What should we do?" Seldan asked Ding Guofeng beside him in a low voice. "It looks like they won't be leaving today."

Ding Guofeng put down the binoculars and asked, "When do you think they will attack?"

Seldan thought for a while and said: "I have turned around the forest here. Even if there is a guide, no one dares to enter the mountain at night. At night, the tiger will come out, it is too dangerous. I guess it will be tomorrow It will take action at dawn."

Ding Guofeng was about to say more, when he heard someone throwing a handful of soil not far away, the voice was very soft.He slowly put away the binoculars and took out the dagger stuck in his thigh; Seldan, Erlu and Hengji also took out the dagger and waited.

The bushes swayed slightly, and two tall black figures slowly appeared, standing five or six meters in front of Ding Guofeng.Then the bonfire of the Qing army camp at the foot of the mountain was bright, and a bright blade appeared and disappeared in the dark night.

At this moment, Ding Guofeng felt his heart was about to jump out of his throat, and the blocked throat was uncomfortable.He began to count down from 10 in his heart, ready to pounce and deal with these two guys.Four to two, if the action is fast, the other party will not even have time to call the police.

But when he counted to "5", the two black shadows suddenly turned and left, heading down the mountain.

The four of Ding Guofeng waited for a long time, and after making sure that there was no one around, they slowly got up.

"What should I do?" Seldan asked in a low voice.

Ding Guofeng was a little scared at the moment.The decadent and declining Qing army has not yet appeared in memory, and the troops outside the customs of the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties still have the qualities of elite soldiers.As a former scout, he underestimated the Manchu army too much.

"Withdraw! Unnecessary fighting will affect our future plans." Ding Guofeng's voice was not high, but his tone was firm.

　Scout!When I went home in the afternoon, I hurriedly read the "March Compilation of the Qing Dynasty", and almost forgot about it!Modifications were made to the second half of this chapter.
