The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 720: The Dzungar

Qing Dynasty, Jiaqing Period
The expression on Emperor Jiaqing's face was a mixture of smile and laughter.

Yes, he was one of the emperors who severely punished corruption, but he was also one of the emperors who tolerated corruption.

Our own Amako is different from Marfa.

Mafa is here to govern the country, he is here to strike a balance.

Thinking of Qianlong's various methods, Jiaqing couldn't help but sigh in admiration:
“It’s truly an extraordinary story.”

Treat the entire court as if it were in your hands.

I really can’t learn it myself.

……

[Yongzheng punished corruption by implementing the "Regulations on Repaying Stolen Goods and Reducing Ranks".]

[Any criminal who embezzles public funds can be spared the death penalty and have his sentence reduced by one level if he makes up all the public funds within one year.]

[If the debt is not fully repaid within one year, there is a grace period of one more year, allowing the prisoner to raise funds outside the prison to repay the debt.]

[If the official still fails to make up the money in the second year, he will be sent to prison, but his family can still help him raise money to make up the money.]

【Therefore, many corrupt officials during the Yongzheng period were not executed in the end.】

……

Ming Dynasty - Tianqi Period
Zhu Youxiao really didn't expect this.

"The iron-faced Yongzheng is actually a very particular person."

He really admired Yongzheng a little.

To take without hurting shows that one is only dealing with the matter at hand.

There is indeed some compassionate heart and powerful means in it.

Zhu Youxiao's eyes rolled and he had an idea.

If this trick is used alone, it will definitely be useless against those bastards from the previous dynasty.

The same is true for the gentry.

But he has a good ancestor!
At this time, he didn't feel that he had been cheated by the old man Taizu.

"Peeling daylily, wonderful."

Touching his chin, Zhu Youxiao thought that this matter had to be handled by Wei Zhongxian.

First set an example, then plead for mercy.

Take advantage of the situation to implement the policy of reducing stolen goods and reducing wages.

perfect!

Knew it……

Zhu Youxiao stretched his back and looked at the sky.

"Open-book exams are fun."

"No wonder cheating in the imperial examinations persists despite repeated bans."

……

[In the 23rd year of Emperor Qianlong's reign, he overcame huge resistance and resolutely abolished this "Regulations on Reducing Ranks after Returning Stolen Goods".]

[It is stipulated that no matter how rich your family is, if you embezzle more than 1,000 taels of silver, you will be sentenced to beheading. No leniency will be given. No matter how much money you spend, even 100,000 taels, you cannot buy back your life.]

【This reform greatly improved the Qing Dynasty's ability to punish corruption, and countless corrupt officials were brought to justice.】

[This is not the end of the matter. Now that the person is dead, he doesn’t have to pay back the money, right? ]

[No! "The outstanding debts will be strictly pursued in the names of the criminals' family members, and all their property will be seized and sold for money to repay the debts." ]

[After I am executed, we will continue to investigate the property of my family members. We will not stop until all the property is recovered.]

[In order to prevent corrupt people from transferring their property, he required the governors and governors of each province to send the fastest horse to seize the property of corrupt people as soon as they found them, so as to prevent them from transferring their property.]

[The harshness of Qianlong's punishment of corruption was even more severe than that of Yongzheng.]

[In the entire history, Qianlong is the second emperor who was most severe in punishing corruption. ]

……

{And Qianlong’s enforcement of laws against corruption was extremely strict, affecting a wide range of people.}
{It may be excusable for a high-ranking official to commit other crimes, but if it is corruption, even if the circumstances are minor and only involve a few taels of silver, it will never be forgiven.}
{And any other officials involved in this case will be severely punished, and no one will be let off.}
{And there is no limit to his fight against corruption, even if you are a royal relative.}
{Then the question is, if Qianlong is second, then who is first?}

{You are stupid! The first throne must belong to Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty!}
{If an official embezzled more than 60 taels, his skin would be peeled off, stuffed with grass, and placed on the desk of the next official to remind him not to embezzle again. Could Qianlong compare with this method?}
{…Why do we have to compete in something like this…}
……

Ming dynasty.

Old Zhu snorted coldly:
"Compare! Why not compare!"

Queen Ma couldn't help but roll her eyes.

She was almost tired of talking, but she had to say it.

"It is right to punish corruption, but you want the horse to run without letting it eat grass."

"You are the one who fostered this greed!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened, and he pointed at his nose and said angrily:

"We raised them?! We gave them official positions, so we're wrong?!"

Queen Ma looked at him calmly.

Zhu Yuanzhang stuck to his guns for a while, but was eventually defeated.

"But sister... has no money..."

Zhu Yuanzhang finally softened his tone.

"This matter involves finance and taxation, and also involves the silver sea ban...it can't be completed in one day."

He looked at Empress Ma and Zhu Biao and spoke what was in his heart.

"We have thought it through. We will set the sea ban and make more money. The rest will continue as usual."

"As soon as Biaoer takes the throne, he will use the money to carry out reforms."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked into Zhu Biao's eyes and said sincerely:
"Dad will fill in 80% of these holes for you."

"But the last point is up to you."

"Biao'er, do you understand what Dad means?"

Zhu Biao's eyes reddened and he nodded.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled happily.

"As long as you understand, that's good. Hahaha! Good!"

……

【After dealing with Zhang Tingyu, all the threats from concubines, royal family, eunuchs, powerful officials, and cliques were eliminated.】

【Qianlong began to shift his focus from the inner court to the outer borders.】

……

On the canopy.

In the Qianqing Palace,

Wearing a dark blue robe with a golden dragon pattern, Qianlong stood beside the imperial desk, writing in large characters while speaking to the ministers kneeling in front of the desk:
"Why did we lose the war in the ninth year of Yongzheng's reign?"

"In the Battle of Hetongbo, almost none of the 60,000 Eight Banners soldiers returned!"

"Because they were united at that time, our army rushed thousands of miles carrying food and water. This was a big taboo in military tactics, and we must be defeated!"

"And now..."

The emperor, who was middle-aged and more majestic, looked up at them and said in a deep voice:

"You said it was inappropriate to use troops to attack the Junggar?"

"I think you are accustomed to long-term peace!"

The ministers said in fear:

"We are not disobeying Your Majesty. Since the last emperor and the Junggar tribe had a peace negotiation, the two sides have been in a state of peace for nearly twenty years..."

"These Eight Bannermen have rarely fought in wars, and the world has become accustomed to peace. Now they are suddenly going to engage in large-scale foreign wars... this... this..."

Another minister said similarly:

"Your Majesty, the Dzungars are not an imminent threat, and your Majesty's holy name will be preserved if this war is not waged."

"But weapons are ominous tools. If the war fails, your Majesty's twenty years of achievements will be destroyed in an instant! I hope your Majesty will think deeply about this!"

Qianlong stopped what he was doing, as he understood that these people were telling the truth.

Isn't he afraid of being ruined?
Of course he is afraid!
but……

Qianlong looked at the large characters on the case, the ink still wet, and muttered to himself:

"They are in chaos. Both north and south of Tianshan are in chaos..."

"Amursana has returned."

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!”

"You can't make a single mistake, and you can't take a single wrong step!"

"As long as we seize the right opportunity, we can pacify Western Xinjiang in one fell swoop and incorporate it into the territory of the Qing Dynasty!"

"I originally prepared 110,000 troops for the expedition, and now we have 5,000 troops from Amursana and 2,000 troops from Sancheling."

"Not only are they geographically and climatically suitable, but they are also probably even more brave and skilled in fighting than the Green Camp soldiers."

"With pioneers as guides and accurate regulations..."

"This is a God-given opportunity!"

Qianlong narrowed his eyes and looked at them, and said in a deep voice: "The billions of years of our Great Qing Dynasty depend on this move!"

……

[In the 1753th year of Emperor Qianlong's reign (), civil unrest broke out in Dzungar.]

[As early as September of the tenth year of Qianlong's reign (1745), when Galdan Tseren died of illness, there were already signs of civil unrest.]

On the ninth day of the third month of the eleventh year of Emperor Qianlong's reign (1746), Namjale, the new leader of the Dzungar Khanate and the second son of Galdan Tseren, sent an envoy to Beijing to request the continuation of the tributary relationship between the Khanate and the Qing court as during the Galdan Tseren period. Emperor Qianlong approved all of his requests.

[Although Namjale was young, he was very mature. Within a few years, he was capable of doing anything from slaughtering dogs to stealing wives.]

[When his sister Ulan Bayar tried to persuade him, Namjale imprisoned her.]

[Her husband, Saiyinbolek, captured Namjale while she was out hunting, and appointed Lama Darza as the leader.]

[Namjale and his supporter, Dashidawa, the son of Tseringdundub, were both captured.]

[Namjal was blinded, and the two were imprisoned forever. Many of their followers and subordinates were also killed.]

【Then, with the support of Ulan Bayar, Galdan Tseren's eldest son, Lama Darza, succeeded to the throne. 】

[During the civil strife, Salar, an official under Dashidawa, escaped and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty with more than a thousand households under his command in the 15th year of Emperor Qianlong's reign. He also reported the situation of the civil strife in Dzungar to Emperor Qianlong.]

【From then on, Emperor Qianlong began to pay attention to the internal strife in Junggar. 】

……

{What a long list of names...}
{It hurts my eyes to see this. To sum it up, the three children are fighting?}
{Seriously, why did the second son take over? Wasn't the eldest son still alive?}
{Because of her mother's noble status, she was able to inherit the Khanship.}
{…Unfortunately, the specific historical data cannot be found. The historical books say that he was incompetent, cruel and bloodthirsty. It is amazing that a twelve-year-old child could be charged with such heinous crimes.}
……

Yanhan·Lingdi Period
Liu Hong scratched his eyebrows.

"After billions of years... my heart is still quite wild..."

Liu Bei below had just "discussed" with Cao Cao how Zhuge Liang would enter officialdom in the future.

Hearing this, he straightened his Jinxian crown and sighed:

"Billions of years, how far away is it? Let's fight for the present day."

Liu Hong looked at Cao Cao, who was lying on the ground with his head in his hands and his legs bent, and then glanced at Liu Bei, who had a look of compassion on his face.

The corner of his eye twitched slightly.

This young royal relative deserves to be described as having the style of "Emperor Gaozu".

It’s really not in vain to be the leader of the rangers.

……

Liu Song.

Liu Yu couldn't laugh anymore.

This heinous crime...really doesn't matter based on age.

"There are many people who are useless at a young age."

Liu Yu looked at Liu Yilong meaningfully and said:

"Right, Emperor Song Wen."

Liu Yilong's face was stiff.

What kind of words are these?!
You are the ancestor!
Those are also your descendants!
……

Great Sui.

Yang Jian narrowed his eyes and complained:

"That's possible."

If such a mischievous little emperor were placed in the Central Plains, he might be able to rule for a while with the constraints of the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues.

But those people in the Northwest are all as fierce as wolves and tigers. How could they allow him to do whatever he wants?

Their nature is to fight back when they are not satisfied.

"I don't think this Darza can hold his position firmly."

When Dugu Jialuo saw the name Xiao Celeng Dundub, she thought of Da Celeng.

"Since Little Celeng's son has become a rebel, the attitude of Big Celeng's descendants is important."

Yang Jian thought about it and shook his head:
"The fox mourns the death of the rabbit, and there is no way to win them over."

……

【Lama Darza's ascension to the throne did not put an end to the civil strife.】

[He ordered Da Tsereng Dundub's son Dawachi to go to Yili, but Dawachi did not dare to go and directly refused.]

[In the 16th year of Emperor Qianlong's reign, Lama Darza planned to attack Dawachi.]

【At this time, two people found Dawachi and urged him to replace Lama Darza and establish himself.】

[One was called Banjur, he was the grandson of Lazang Khan, the son of Danzhong who went to Junggar to marry.]

[The other one is Amursana, a member of the Borjigit clan, a descendant of Habtu Hasar, the younger brother of Genghis Khan, the fourth-generation grandson of Gushri Khan, the grandson of Lazang Khan, the grandson of Tsewang Arabtan, the posthumous son of Danzhong, and the younger brother of Banjur.]

……

Great Mongol Empire.

Horse hooves stepped on the land of Dading Prefecture.

Genghis Khan glanced at the sky expressionlessly.

The descendants of the Golden Family always maintain strong ambitions!
This is good!
At this time, a knight rode his horse galloping from the palace, reined in his horse, and blurted out a series of Mongolian words.

Genghis Khan waved his whip indifferently.

"He's gone. As long as he's still on this land, he will definitely be the prey of the Golden Family."

"It's the Song Dynasty..."

Genghis Khan looked up at the sky and sighed.

"Unfortunately, time is running out for us."

……

[Dawachi formed an alliance with Amursana and Banjul, and their territory was located around Tarbagatai on the north side of Yili.]

【At this time, the three leaders had a total of 5,000 troops. 】

[On September 1751, the th year of Qianlong's reign (), Dawachi and others decided to surrender to the Qing Dynasty and immediately led people to Beijing.]

[Dawaqi was constantly attacked by pursuers along the way. He defeated the pursuers at Tonghargai, but still could not get rid of them.]

[Afterwards, they were intercepted by tens of thousands of pursuers in the area of ​​the Nalinbrul River and the Altai Mountains. Fortunately, the roads in the Altai Mountains were narrow, and Dawachi escaped.]

【However, something unexpected happened here. 】

[When passing through the Altai Mountains, you will also pass by the battlefield of the Qing-Zungarian War - Hetongbo.]

[This is the place where "the old fortress still exists and the bones are piled up like a mountain." ]

[Seeing this scene, Dawachi was deeply moved. He remembered that his father had fought a bloody battle with the Qing army here. Now he had to surrender to them. He felt ashamed and angry.]

[Afterwards, he, Amursana, Banjul and others turned back west and led their people to Kazakhstan.]

[After Da and A fled to Kazakhstan, Lama Darza imprisoned all of Dawachi's relatives in Yili and Daze's former friends and subordinates, and then sent troops to plunder the pastures of the Huite tribe as revenge.]

[Then he sent 30,000 troops to invade Kazakhstan, and with the support of force, he demanded the return of Da and A from the Kazakh leader.]

……

Tang Dynasty and Emperor Gaozu's period
Li Yuan listened while drinking a little wine.

"That's quite filial."

Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin looked at each other and did not speak.

This old man is becoming more and more annoying.

Li Yuan snorted coldly upon seeing this.

Then there was another wave of sadness.

The scene brought back sad memories for him. If Galdan Tseren's children could unite as one, there wouldn't be such a mess.

……

Ming Dynasty Yongle Period
Zhu Di narrowed his eyes and looked at Dawachi and others who were running around.

The palms of my hands began to itch.

"If the enemy's army attacks, then our headquarters will certainly be empty!"

"This is a great opportunity to make a detour!"

Empress Xu standing aside was speechless.

Is it true that your mind is filled with thoughts about war?
……

[After hearing the news, Dawazia and others immediately decided to lead 5,000 troops to bypass the main force of the quasi-military forces and secretly return to Tarbagatai to contact and surrender more than 1,000 of their former subordinates, and then led the army south.]

[On November 1752, the th year of Qianlong's reign (), people broke through the siege and entered Yili, and unexpectedly succeeded in a surprise attack, killing Lama Darza. Dawachi ascended the throne of Khan.]

[In the 1753th year of Emperor Qianlong's reign (), Amursana proposed to divide Dzungar.]

[Of course, Dawachi could not tolerate such a request.]

[After that, Dawachi repeatedly sent troops to attack Amursana, but suffered repeated defeats.]

[In June of the 1754th year of Qianlong's reign (), Dawachi mobilized all his forces and led people to besiege Amursana.]

[Amursana was outnumbered and had to lead his people to flee and head straight to Beijing, where he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.]

[Qianlong had been observing the civil unrest in Dzungar. When Amursana surrendered, he realized that the time had come.]

[On October 1754, the th year of Qianlong's reign (), Emperor Qianlong officially decided to send troops.]
