Chapter 391 The Change of Xi'an (9)
The Minister of War of the Qing Dynasty, Lan Gui, glanced at the rioters who were kneeling on the ground, and his eyes turned back to Liu Tongxun in the middle hall. Liu Tongxun felt that there was no "humanity" in Lan Gui's eyes, which was so indifferent that Liu Tongxun felt that something big must have happened.
At this moment, Lan Gui said: "Liu Zhongtang, if there were local Han people named joint guarantees, they would have not come out to cause trouble."
"Ah?" Liu Tongxun was stunned. After a moment, he suddenly understood Lan Gui's meaning. While admiring it, he also felt that Lan Gui's method was really cruel.
The Han people in Xi'an City were killed so violently that they completely controlled Xi'an City under the leadership of the official army. If these surviving Han people determined that the rioters did not participate in the rebellion, it would be correct.
But when relatives are killed, how many rioters can these slaughtered people agree with?
But I can only think about this. Liu Tongxun knew that he could not oppose Lan Gui. Not wanting to offend the Han people who participated in the suppression of the rebellion was certainly one of the reasons. If the Han people cannot be revenged and revenged at this time, the court would have to bear the overwhelming anger of the Han people.
The more important reason is that Lan Gui was a Manchu. The system of the Qing Dynasty was six ministries. According to common sense, there should be six Shangshu in the six ministries. However, the Qing Dynasty was very interesting, with twelve Shangshu in name.
Many people may subconsciously believe that the highest officer of the Six Ministry is the Secretary of the Shangshu, so there must be only six Shangshu.
This was not the case with the Qing Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, the official system was heavy, except for local institutions, except for some special official positions in the central institutions, which means that if there is a Han official, there will be a full member.
This is naturally to better win over the Han forces, so the reinstatement was set up to win over and balance the situation in this way.
Although it looks like the same name, it is different in reality. In each department in the six ministries, each department is in charge of the full staff, and the main manuscript is the Han officials, which means that the real power is in the hands of the full staff, and the Han officials are in charge of the work. To put it bluntly, the full staff can decide things and have the power to make decisions. The Han officials just do things as they are in charge of the instructions.
Although Liu Tongxun was the central government, the one who truly held military power in this city of Xi'an was the Manchu Minister of War Lan Gui. At the moment when Emperor Hongzhou was in charge of the army, Lan Gui was the Minister of War and the Admiral of the Nine Gates.
Lan Gui looked polite, but he was just good at being a human being. Liu Tongxun really wanted to mobilize Lan Gui according to the control of the superiority and inferiority of the upper and lower levels, that is, Liu Tongxun himself was too naive.
At this time, Liu Tongxun was certainly not satisfied with the Qing Dynasty's policy of separating the Qing Dynasty at this time. However, Liu Tongxun, who confirmed the facts again, laughed dryly, "Haha, what the Shangshu said is the right reason."
Lan Gui was recognized by the nominal Zhongtang Liu Tongxun, and immediately ordered the rioters to be divided into small teams and brought them out.
The rioters were already very united. Seeing that the Qing army was recruiting people, they begged for a while. The Qing army had just fought with the rioters, so how could they give them a good look? After a moment, the rioters had already jumped up to resist.
Before the Qing army could kill, some white beards and white beards were already standing up. People in good clothes cursed and made those people kneel down. After these people whispered and cursed, those who tried to resist knelt down again.
The Qing army wanted to kill people, but when they saw these people kneeling again, they went up and punched and kicked those who wanted to rebel. Although the people next to them knelt on the ground and cried and begged for mercy, no one dared to come up again.
Liu Tongxun was a little puzzled, "What did those people say?"
Lan Gui sneered, but ordered her to her close friend, "Tell me the people who came out to speak."
After she followed her to do business, Lan Gui answered Liu Tongxun's question, "Those people use scriptures. Perhaps it means that when they are unable to resist, they should pretend to obey and live."
"Oh." Liu Tongxun nodded. He felt that this was also a way to live.
Unexpectedly, I heard Lan Gui continue to say, "The last two sentences say that the banner of True God will definitely conquer the pagans on the land where the people of True God are located. Humph, isn't it too late for their scriptures to avenge their gentlemen for ten years?"
Liu Tongxun was stunned. This scripture is not to teach the believers to obey the court and live honestly. Although these rioters were convinced, they buried their hatred in their hearts. They did not make trouble at this time, but just to save their lives and then take the opportunity to make trouble.
Originally, Liu Tongxun had some complaints about Lan Gui's ruthlessness, but at this time he felt that Lan Gui was not only brave enough to use troops, but also a responsible person. If he had not understood the scriptures of the rioters and only looked at the obedience of the rioters, he would definitely feel pity. Later, he felt that Lan Gui was too ruthless. However, when he really saw the reactions of the rioters at the critical moment of life and death, he could understand that they were just about to cause chaos. He would never stop doing chaos.
The rioters were brought out by a group of people. After being identified by the Han people, more than half of the rioters were released. However, when the rioters who had not been pardoned were executed, the rioters cried loudly in the sky. But under the scolding of those white beards and gray beards, the rioters just cried on the ground, not even their heads.
Looking at the rioters who even hid hatred, Liu Tongxun couldn't help but feel great fear in his heart. The murderous intention was uncontrollable and he just wanted to order all the rioters to be killed.
Seeing Lan Gui's calm expression, Liu Tongxun knew what he could not say. He could only endure fear and murderous intent, and watch the execution be carried out step by step.
The feeling of discomfort in my heart was indescribable, but an idea suddenly emerged in Liu Tongxun's heart, making Liu Tongxun have an answer to the doubts that he could let go of the rioters but would not let the people under Huo Chong's rule.
The rioters are originally a group of rioters. They only have the question of when to make chaos, and there is no question of whether to make chaos. It is probably a barbarian who fears power but does not have virtue. Liu Tongxun believes that as long as the court is strong, the barbarians will not be afraid of it.
But the people under Huo Chong were truly rebelling. Their rebellion had nothing to do with whether the court was strong. Although the government was relaxed in the late Kangxi period and corrupt officials were rampant, the court's military strength was not weak. However, those who followed Huo Chong raised the flag of rebellion to the court without hesitation and fought the court from several counties to flee to the northwest.
Of course, Liu Tongxun could not let go of such a group of people. If he let go of these people under Huo Chong, it would be equivalent to denying the court and betraying the court. Those people had to be killed.
Thinking of this, Liu Tongxun suddenly became enlightened, but felt extremely painful in his heart. At this time, Huo Chong became a climate, ascended the throne and established himself as the emperor. If Huo Chong's Chinese court could not be divided, the Qing Dynasty would not be able to revive it and could only go step by step toward destruction.
Then, sending assassins to assassinate Huo Chong or buying Huo Chong's subordinates to assassinate Huo Chong is the most effective method.
Being trapped in his own way of thinking, Liu Tongxun no longer paid attention to other things. The remaining rioters in Xi'an City were only 50,000 or 60,000, but after this cleaning, there were 30,000 left. The rebellion in Xi'an City was completely resolved.
Later, the Minister of War Lan Gui distributed the copied property to the official army. After two days of repair, he led his army to ask the civilians nearby who had come to Xi'an to participate in the rebellion.
With the large amount of seizure, the morale of the Qing army was greatly boosted. In just over a month, all the rioters nearby were killed.
It was already the end of the year. When Lan Gui led his army back, Liu Tongxun went to the outside of the city to greet him. Seeing the army being frozen, he arranged for the official army to enter the city to rest.
Officials left behind in the court attended the celebration banquet. Speaking of the hard work along the way, Lan Gui smiled bitterly: "Although we are suffering in winter, the chaotic people have no place to run. Staying in the wilderness means they will freeze to death, and they can only spend the winter at home. If they don't run around, I also want to send troops on a good day."
Hearing this, the officials praised Lan Gui for knowing how to use troops and knowing how to use troops.
After dinner, Lan Gui had a small meeting with Liu Tongxun and other military ministers to discuss how to put the excess Qing army into those unowned villages. At this time, Liu Tongxun knew that Lan Gui would definitely win Hongzhou's favor and no longer said anything. Because Liu Tongxun did not jump out, he found that other left-behind military ministers were actually worse than Liu Tongxun. At least he verbally agreed with Lan Gui's proposal, as if he let Lan Gui make the decision.
Seeing these people's fictional style, Liu Tongxun felt very dissatisfied.
After the Spring Festival, the fifth year of Kunlong in the Qing Dynasty was in the Qing Dynasty. The Western calendar was 1734. Fu Qing, the general of Jiangning of the Qing Dynasty, who was chasing and retreating from the Chinese dynasty, had already pursued Hubei.
Qian Qing originally thought that Lei Hu should have done everything he could tore Huguang, and the biggest difficulty might be how to break through Jiujiangkou. However, what surprised Qian Qing was that Jiujiang did not stump Lei Hu. However, after killing Jiujiangkou and entering Hubei, the Chinese army was actually subjected to tenacious resistance from Hubei.
The landlords brought up small teams and attacked the Chinese army in the manner of moths flying into flames. Although the combat effectiveness of these landlords' armed forces was even far less than that of the Qing army, they were defeated by the large number, which annoyed the Chinese army advancing westward. Moreover, the Chinese army has always paid attention to the peace of the people, and when they were attacked like this, the Ministry of Rites of the Central Army was also worried about whether it was too harsh to kill or damage.
After seeing such a report, Qian Qing was so angry that he couldn't help but go to Huo Chong, "Sir, is the Ministry of Rites in the Central Military Commission trying to cause trouble for our people?"
Huo Chong glanced at the content and knew what Qian Qing was angry about. He sat down with Qian Qing, who showed a complete pregnant woman's posture. Huo Chong sighed: "You can't blame me for everything. If you haven't encountered such a thing, how could they know what they would encounter? Do you still expect them to know if they are not sure?"
This made Qian Qing even more angry, "I don't care if I know or not. They actually dared to talk about our own people, which made me so angry! I shouldn't have done this!"
When Huo Chong heard this, he was stunned and couldn't help but look at Qian Qing up and down. Qian Qing was already angry, so he turned his face away from Huo Chong's eyes.
The two of them didn't say anything for a long time, and Qian Qing suddenly burst into laughter, "What's wrong with me? I didn't do this before."
Huo Chong didn't expect Qian Qing to understand it himself, and he really admired it in his heart. People say that their mind is clear and clear, probably this is how they can know themselves.
Then Qian Qing's smile suddenly disappeared. She suddenly grabbed Huo Chong's arm like when she was a little girl, "Sir, since I was pregnant, I feel like I am no longer like myself. I don't know why I want to cry and laugh every day. I always have a stubborn mind when doing things, but I just know that I shouldn't be angry, but I just get stuck in my mind. Why did I become like this!"
As he spoke, Qian Qing's eyes were filled with tears. Huo Chong felt pity in his heart.
Qian Qing suffered a huge change in his family when he was a child. When he met Huo Chong, he lost any childishness. At this time, Qian Qing showed fear and anxiety that even Huo Chong had never seen him. Is he a child completely?
He quickly took the handkerchief and tried to help Qian Qing wipe his tears. Unexpectedly, Qian Qing touched his tears, but his expression quickly returned to his previous resilience. "I cried, but my mood was better. Sir, should I increase my troops or what? Anyway, I can't let the guys from the Ministry of Rites make a fuss."
Seeing that Qian Qing could finally speak, Huo Chong put down his handkerchief and sat down and sighed: "Well. These people just didn't understand. The world is so bad. You thought to yourself, but you defended me, so you didn't say it. But the old brothers are talking now, if I had dared to do anything, I would do it now. I just laughed at them. With their ability, it might be okay to fight with me. The world is far behind. If they encountered such a thing a few years ago, they would definitely suffer a great loss."
Qian Qing was very puzzled, "But the Qing army is that strong in Huguang?"
Huo Chong reminded: "What did Ortai, who was not dead in your hands, do in Huguang back then?"
Qian Qing took some thought to find the content related to the name from his memory. She smiled and said, "I have long forgotten that there is such a person. Ortai and Yue Zhongqi. Haha, now, I'll kill them long ago."
"That's because the troops are now built, and they will not be led by the other party by the nose just because they encounter situations they have seen before. Instead, they will completely use the combat methods they have mastered to defeat the other party. This is the construction of the troops, so if you use the current troops to substitute them at that time, of course you feel that the Qing army is vulnerable. But at that time, the old brothers you led almost messed up the matter for several times, you know it yourself."
"Well...ah!! I won't say that anymore, I'll be annoyed when I think about it." Qian Qing used all his self-control to pull himself out of his emotions, and quickly asked Huo Chong, "What did Ortai do in Huguang."
Huo Chong didn't want to find information anymore, so he just told it based on his memory. It turned out that Ortai was the most famous for changing land into Yunnan and Guizhou, but the only areas that affected were not the only areas. Huguang also began to implement it when the transformation of Yunnan and Guizhou was progressing.
Although there are chieftains here in Huguang, the indigenous people live in mixed with Han people, and the chieftains are also familiar with the system of rebellion. The general trend of "changing the land and returning to the flow" intimidates the chieftains of the two lakes, who are proactively demanding the transformation, but there are also a few who resist stubbornly. If Tian, the chieftain of Rongmei, Hubei, did not listen to the transformation, Emperor Yongzheng ordered Ortai to send troops to fight. The Tian people betrayed their relatives and divorced them, and they were so scared that they hanged themselves. The area where they belonged was changed to the rebellion system.
The land transfer is not only a change of official positions, but more importantly, land adjustment. In Huguang area, through land management adjustments. It is said that one million acres of land have been quite developed there. However, what is said in the newspaper is also unclear, ranging from one million acres to one million hectares.
No matter which unit of measurement it is, the land development in Huguang is very successful. At least under the influence of Ortai, it has been promoted.
In the Song Dynasty, Jiangsu and Zhejiang had a lot of grain planting, and grain was sold as a commodity, becoming the largest commercial grain supply land in China. However, in the Qing Dynasty, it became a situation where "Huguang is mature and the world is sufficient". The Huguang area became the largest commercial grain supply land in the world.
After talking about this, Huo Chong asked Qian Qing, "If you understand from the perspective of economic interests, do you understand why Jiujiang is fine. But since Hubei, there have been so many landlords willing to be outlaws?"
After hearing this, Qian Qing thought for only a few seconds and sighed: "If I am not pregnant, I will think. But don't make things difficult for me at this time, tell me why?"
Huo Chong didn't dare to let Qian Qing, who was full of hormones, think at this time. People say that they were stupid for three years of pregnancy, which is not a ridicule. It is a description of the facts. The human body is just such a kind of existence, and it has nothing to do with the brain.
"I am already planning to let Zeng Jing talk about what the Huguang landlords heard from the Qing Dynasty a few years ago. However, if the Qing Dynasty really mentioned our program to let the Huguang landlords understand, this battle would not be a simple battle with the Qing army. It was a war between us and the entire gentry and landlord class of Huguang. As long as the Huguang landlords and gentry believe that we want to carry out land reform and nationalize land. For themselves, they will fight us to the end."
Qian Qing frowned and said with some anger: "After all the time, it's still for the land! Have these people really read books? The land for the land of a thousand years is still the words of the south!"
Huo Chong could only sigh: "If the reason is useful, what should the army do. If the apology is useful, what should the police do. Where your land comes from is actually not important. What is important is that when you get what you have, you will feel that it is always your own. This idea is not good or bad, but human nature."
When Qian Qing heard this, he wanted to say something, but shook his head, "Sir, I feel unhappy in everything I say now. So I won't say it anymore. If someone says anything about this, you will definitely not make things difficult for the Western Expedition Army. Then I'll feel relieved."
"Yes." Huo Chong nodded. But he remembered the things about Lei Hu and Qian Qing that the bastards secretly said.
Perhaps because he was old, Huo Chong had never thought of living with Qian Qing until he was old. As long as there was no abnormality, he would definitely die earlier than Qian Qing and Lei Hu. If Qian Qing had not been firm in his attitude, Huo Chong would have never considered living with Qian Qing.
Huo Chong never opposed the possibility of Qian Qing and Lei Hu getting married in the past, and there was nothing unpleasant about it.
Thinking of this, at least Qian Qing is still very clear-headed and knows that he must not tell others about this. Even if he is in the same trench, a bastard is a bastard. As long as he can see people's jokes, he will be happy and will even provoke right and wrong.
This matter involves the Ministry of Rites, so of course he has to call Luo Yiren, the Minister of Rites. Unexpectedly, Luo Yiren made a request after adding Huo Chong, "Your Majesty, can you condemn me for a meal?"
"It doesn't matter if you eat. But why do you want to go to your house?" Huo Chong didn't understand.
"It's still for my wife. If His Majesty can go to a table for dinner, I don't have to listen to many unpleasant words."
After saying this, Huo Chong understood. Luo Yiren's wife was not from a good background, so of course some people would talk nonsense. Luo Yiren couldn't hold those people and beat them up, so he could only think of other ways.
