Chapter 457 Qianlong Is Dead

The annual birthday of the Queen Mother is here again. The city of Beijing is still very lively with lights and colorful lights and gongs and drums noisy. Even though the Manchu Qing Dynasty was about to completely lose Shandong and cut off Anhui, the millions of Eight Banners disciples in the capital still lived a pleasant life.

In the summer and autumn of this year, 1.3 million tons of grain were transported from Northeast China to Beijing, which greatly alleviated the grain pressure on Beijing and Tianjin. Although the Korean serfs in the Northeast were killed, killed, and starved to death, accounting for more than 10% of the total number, the Manchus were not afraid. There were more than 10 million people in Korea!

The hard-core crops of the Eight Banners' disciples in the capital have been continuously discounted, but there are still many Beijing Banners' disciples in the Eight Banners' new army, which has expanded to 50,000 people. The salaries of the New Army soldiers are higher than those of the Eight Banners' full pay. Although the life of the Eight Banners disciples is much worse than before, they have money and food. Compared with most civilian families, they have a life that is easy to get for nothing!

In recent years, the population of the capital has probably dropped by 10%. Freight from the south cannot come, the court has less money, officials have received less tribute, and the streets have naturally become depressed. Just like the declining power of Daqingguo!

The large number of banner people who will move to the Northeast next spring have almost been selected. The banner people in Beijing don't have much resistance to returning to the Northeast. Judging from the current situation, they are willing to go to the Northeast. The current situation is completely different from the situation at the end of the Qing Dynasty. The bannermen had the knives of the Fuhan Army on their heads. They are the ones that the new dynasty must definitely liquidate. How can they be like Yuan Datou, who still supports them with millions of taels of silver a year.

No matter how idle and indolent the Eight Banners disciples are, they still cherish their little lives extremely. Therefore, they are willing to return to the Northeast and leave Beijing, which is gradually becoming unsafe. Anyway, they don't have to work in the Northeast, they only need to take care of the Korean serfs under their control!

The excitement in Beijing this year is even greater than in previous years, because this year is the 80th birthday of Niu Gulu. How can it be possible to live a long and healthy life without having a lively and joyful party to wash away the bad luck of Da Qingguo's ruling and opposition parties?

But this man is really weird. The more he fears something bad will happen, the more he can't hide from him.

On September 24, the news of the fall of Jinan was sent to Beijing by Shuhed Pegasus. The Fuhan Army's attack on Jinan was almost bloodless because the Green Camp in the city rebelled. Zhou Yuanli, the chief envoy of Shandong Province, was martyred with his whole family. Wang Jintai, the governor of Zhili, was captured and sacrificed to Chen Ni by his men. The old general committed suicide. At the same time, more than 500 banner soldiers under Duan Yonggui in Jinan City were all killed!

Shu Hede cried and wiped away tears and confessed that he was guilty of death! Fu Heng felt very uncomfortable when he compared this news and the news that two civil and military officials had died with the two excerpts he had been sent before.

Zhongliang. Wang Jintai and Zhou Yuanli were both loyal and good men of the Qing Dynasty. Even if Zhou Yuanli's previous excerpts were rude, he was still loyal to the Qing Dynasty.

This stall has a military disadvantage on the front line, which really makes people angry.

However, there was still a short-sighted person outside. The next day, Wu Dashan, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, impeached Agui, saying that he had repeatedly neglected his troops and suffered consecutive defeats in vain, which was a failure of his holy hope.

This is not the first time Wu Dashan has impeached Agui. Last year, after the defeat in Southeast Henan, he impeached Agui. Qianlong had no choice but to punish Agui 'in the face of the facts'. Now...he's here again.

But this guy also wants to see what day it is. The Queen Mother’s Millennium Festival is just around the corner!

In the side hall of the "Justice and Brightness", Fu Heng, who stayed behind at the "Military Aircraft Department" of the Old Summer Palace, was feeling annoyed. [It’s not a plaque, it’s one of the forty scenes of the Old Summer Palace, the main hall of the Old Summer Palace. 】

But less than an hour later, the impeachment memorial of Henan Governor He Xu came flying in. He also impeached Agui for "talking loudly to deceive the emperor, and having no plan to stabilize the country... He repeatedly avoided the enemy and feared it like a tiger." This refers to Agui's withdrawal of troops from Xuzhou!

So as the saying goes: a house leaks only when it rains all night, or: good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone. That's the truth. There was nothing he could do, no matter how happy he was, Fu Heng had to hand the book to Qianlong a second time. And just when Fu Heng was about to come to see Qianlong to deliver the book, Qianlong also sent Wu Shulai to find him.

Wu Shulai's face was full of anxiety, and there was a layer of sweat on his forehead. He had obviously rushed here in a hurry. He said to Fu Heng: "Hurry up, Mr. Prime Minister, the emperor is summoning you. Xi'an's sticky pole A secret message was sent, saying that Qinghai Mongolia had connections with the Yuandun Sect rebels and sold a large number of war horses to the Yuandun Sect rebels, which caused the Gansu army to attack repeatedly but to no avail. "

When Fu Heng heard the news, his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground. Mongolia, Mongolia, Qinghai Mongolia! Did the Manchu Qing Dynasty's most worrying thing finally happen?

There is going to be a problem in Mongolia in Qinghai. Will there be a problem in Mongolia in Xinjiang, and more importantly the Sixth League of Inner Mongolia and the two banners of Taoxi? Also affected?

Even though the Manchu and Qing emperors talked about "the Manchu and Mongolian family" every day, it was all for show, just like they talked about the Manchu and Han family. Except for the early Shunzhi and the middle and early Kangxi periods, in order to stabilize Mongolia, many Mongolian concubines entered the palace. Later, Yongzheng and Qianlong, how could there be any Mongolian concubines who were favored or gave birth to children? How many princes and princesses of Mongolian descent are there among Qianlong's children now? Although most of the princesses of the Manchu Qing Dynasty had to caress their heads, isn't this 'performance' obvious enough? Looking at the top elites of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which one is not extremely wary of Mongolia?

The Tantric sect that is now flourishing on the prairie and is devouring the blood and flesh of Mongolia, doesn’t it have the strong support of the Manchus? A lamasery is worth a hundred thousand soldiers. This statement itself was said by Qianlong.

And now Daqingguo is on the edge of the cliff. If he takes a wrong step, he will fall to pieces. Mongolia is the most trustworthy arm of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. At this time, it was revealed that Qinghai Mongolia was colluding with the rebel bandits of the Yuandun Sect. This was simply a bolt from the blue.

Jiuzhou Qingyan arrived, and Fu Heng from afar heard Qianlong's roar: "Wu Dashan is a loser. He can't stand it in the small Qinghai Mongolia. What face does he have to impeach Agui?" Incompetent, especially incompetent. ! Immediately issue an order: Take Wu Dashan back to Gansu to put down the rebellion in the northwest!"

Qinghai Mongolia is the weakest of the four major gathering areas in Mongolia, with a total population of only 100,000. Not to mention Inner Mongolia, which has a population of 2 million, but Outer Mongolia and Xinjiang Mongolia, which have a population of 300,000 to 400,000, are far more powerful than Qinghai Mongolia. [I checked this, but I’m not sure the numbers are accurate]

When Luobuzang Danjin took advantage of Kang Mazi's death and Yongzheng's early accession to the throne, part of the Qing army retreated eastward, forcing the Qinghai Mongolian and Tibetan ministries to form an alliance to jointly fight against the Qing. Nian Gengyao sued for peace the following year, and it can be said that the entire Qinghai Mongolia suffered a devastating blow. Yongzheng divided the Mongols in Qinghai into 29 banners based on the Zasak system in Inner Mongolia. Each banner demarcates the boundaries of nomadic pasture, and stipulates that no pasture land may be occupied, no one may belong to each other, and no intercourse is allowed. The political status of Qinghai Mongolia within China's territory has plummeted, and its military strength has collapsed.

So far, there are only 100,000 people in Qinghai Mongolia, and they have not yet recovered to half of their original population. There were less than 20,000 young men who could really be mobilized to fight, and they were divided into twenty-nine banners. What's more, they are also restrained by the Tibetans behind them, who always want to enter Qinghai. For the Manchus, the weak Qinghai Mongolia is just something they can play with. The result is that the cooked duck is all played out by Wu Dashan.

"Slave Fu Heng comes to see the Emperor!"

"Come in."

After Fu Heng came in, he saw that there were quite a few people here today. Not only were all the ministers from the Military Aircraft Department present, but the fourth prince, Prince Yongxun, who was returned to the clan last year, was also there. This man is now the crown prince recognized by the Manchu Dynasty. Otherwise, the emperor would be so upset that he would recall his adopted son back.

Fu Heng looked up at Qianlong again, which surprised him. I saw the furious Qianlong, his face now pale and gloomy, while Yintang was as red as blood, his cheeks were red, and his hands were trembling uncontrollably. Although he was in anger, his complexion was... too ugly .

"Your Majesty, something unexpected happened. You have to take care of the dragon's body. I know you are angry, but the disease in the northwest is just ringworm and scabies, a minor skin disease. Why did the emperor hurt the dragon's body?" Fu Heng's hand just touched the He Jiu's secret was hidden, but He Jiu was still very loyal. Don't let him become the emperor's punching bag.

But today, God didn't want Qianlong to have an easy time. Just when Qianlong's anger subsided, suddenly it was urgently delivered six hundred miles away. It was from Altai, the governor of Sichuan. Now Sichuan's zhezi are transferred to Shaanxi via Qinghai, and then through Shanxi and Hebei before being sent to Beijing.

After reading the memorial, Qianlong seemed to be in disbelief. He also read the memorial carefully again. He didn't say anything for a long time, but his whole body exuded a cold aura. Ben Jinzhong actually surrendered, Ben Jinzhong actually surrendered... …

Suddenly, a burst of creepy laughter burst out from Qianlong's mouth: "Okay, okay, that's great. I have chosen another dog talent! Dog talent! Hahahaha..." While laughing miserably, the skinny Qianlong fell on his head. On the imperial couch...

This time, the people in the palace were frightened. They immediately gathered around him, regardless of what was written in the booklet. They shouted "Emperor Ama", "Emperor", "Master", and kept shouting. The eunuchs were all shocked. After Wu Shu came to his senses, he quickly sent someone to call the imperial doctor.

While everyone was busy, Qianlong had already woken up. But his whole body was weak, he was dizzy, and his face was as red as blood, "Yongxun, don't ask them to spread their voices everywhere, it doesn't matter to me..." In the face of great joy, Qianlong's body bones must hold on.

Thirty-four-year-old Yongxun had tears in his eyes, but there was not much panic on his face. He leaned close to Qianlong and said cautiously: "Emperor Ama, I have sent someone to announce the imperial doctor, please wait a moment. "

Qianlong rolled his eyes from Yongxuan to Fu Heng, and then stopped at Wu Shulai's face. "I'm fine. Victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists. I can afford to lose! You all should retreat..."

Yongxun and others immediately withdrew from Jiuzhou Qingyan, but how could they really leave like this. A group of people went to the 'Zhengda Guangming' opposite Jiuzhou Qingyan to wait.

The imperial doctor arrived soon, but Qianlong's body was suffering from heavy metal poisoning. How could it be cured by human power? After checking his pulse and giving him the prescription, he bowed his head and left. The prescriptions had been read by Fu Heng, Yong Xun and others, and they were all mild and harmless decoctions. My heart is filled with sadness!

This kind of prescription is certainly not harmful to Qianlong's health, but how can this kind of medicine cure the disease?

Fu Heng really couldn't bear to leave this brother-in-law. At this moment, he felt so sad that his tears couldn't help but flow down. Regardless of what Yongxuan and others really think in their hearts, their appearance is like mourning their heirs.

"Wu Shu, come and bring me the elixir."

"Master..." Wu Shulai's voice was raised by three tones. In the decades he had served Qianlong, this was the only time that he expressed his opposition so clearly in his voice.

"Go get it!" Emperor Qianlong ignored this, with the same persistence in his voice. He now hates the feeling of weakness all over his body. Even if he knows that swallowing the pill is not good, he would rather suffer this 'badness'!

Not long after, an elixir the size of an egg yolk was brought to Qianlong by Wu Shulai. With a sweet fragrance, Qianlong reluctantly sat up, and felt that this single movement made his calm body regain its strength. Becoming dizzy. Peeling off the layer of beeswax on the outside of the elixir, one was revealed to be the size of a quail egg, as red as blood, with a layer of metallic luster on the outside. Smell carefully, there seems to be an aroma that is similar to orchid but not orchid, and similar to musk but not musk flowing between the mouth and nose.

Qianlong shook his head and a smile appeared on his face. This elixir was not without its merits. The elixir was very good in Qianlong's eyes. After just smelling it, he felt that his mind suddenly became much clearer, his dizziness subsided a little, and he regained strength.

Qianlong swallowed the elixir in one gulp. It was a ball as big as a quail egg, which made his eyes widen with choking. Wu Shulai quickly brought the jade bowl, which contained dew collected from the pines, cypresses and chrysanthemums by the maids of the Old Summer Palace this morning.

In the afternoon, Yongxun, Fu Heng and others felt that Qianlong could not stand up yet, but he issued two imperial edicts in a row and in a vigorous manner. The first is: A Gui is appointed as the minister of economics and strategy of the five provinces of Henan, Anhui, Shaanxi, Gansu and Shandong, and he unifies the military for the campaign; the second is: Yongrong, the king of Zhi County in Jin Dynasty, is appointed as the Prince of Zhi, and is appointed as the general of Jingbian, rushing to the northwest to quell the chaos in Gansu. .

Yongrong is the sixth son of Qianlong. He is now thirty years old. He was succeeded as the son of Prince Yunxi of Shenjing County nine years ago and was granted the title of Baylor. Two years ago, the county king was sealed. He is good at poetry, painting, and arithmetic.

Qianlong asked such a person to go to the northwest. What was he doing?

After the decree was issued, Yong Rong rushed to the Old Summer Palace that night to thank Qianlong.

There were only four people in the back hall of Qingyan in Jiuzhou. Apart from Yongxuan, Yongrong and Qianlong, there was only one Wu Shulai.

"Qinghai and Mongolia are related to Xinjiang. Xinjiang is unstable, and Inner and Outer Mongolia are also in trouble! Your going here is of great importance, so don't let me down." Qianlong Balabala told his two sons a lot about the northwest, and the sixth son was going to the northwest. He was in charge, and the fourth child was going to take over from him in the future, so he said it with great interest. Qianlong stood up and was going to go to the map of the Qing Dynasty hanging on the wall of the back hall to continue teaching Yongxun and Yongrong. It turned out that he stood up too hard and screamed before he could stand up straight. , felt dizzy and sat down. Wu Shulai was shocked, and the brothers Yongxun and Yongrong stepped forward to help Qianlong without hesitation.

As soon as Yongxun's hand touched Qianlong's dry stick-like handwriting, his heart skipped a beat. Was he grabbing an arm? Why is it so hot? It's like a hot mask used in winter.

"Huang Ama..." Yong Rong screamed out in shock. It's a pity that Qianlong couldn't hear it at this time. His eyes were full of blood, hot and red, as if he was deep in a world of lava. Blood flowed from Qianlong's nose and mouth.

"Woo..." He made an unmistakable sound, tearing at his chest crazily with his hands.

"Send it to the imperial doctor quickly, send it to the imperial doctor quickly." Yongxun shouted at Wu Shulai who was beside him, who was frightened.

He and Yong Rong wanted to hold down Qianlong's hand, but at this moment Qianlong's arms, which were as strong as dry wood, were so strong that the two strong men in their thirties couldn't hold him down. Qianlong's forehead had veins popping out, and the blood vessels protruded, like grape vines with twisting branches.

He was so thin that his bones could be seen on his chest, which was so red that it felt hot and steaming.

"Huang Ama, Huang Ama..." Yong Xun watched in horror as the blood flowed uncontrollably from Qianlong's nose and dripped onto his hands. It was hot and scalding, and he was really frightened. He is not yet ready to inherit the great cause and clean up the country. Yongxun is not ready to be the emperor yet. He doesn't want Qianlong to die at this time!

But he could not control his fate. Blood soon dripped from Qianlong's eyes, and blood oozed from his ears. If it weren't for the blood that seeped out, it was so red that people would have thought that Qianlong, who was bleeding from his seven orifices, was poisoned. Dead. In fact, Qianlong was considered poisoned and died!

It was painful for him to go, very painful.

The blood all over his body was boiling in his blood vessels, and the endless heat burned his nerves. At the last moment of his life, Qianlong was like a madman tearing the clothes on his chest, leaving a trail of blood marks on his wrinkled and old chest. I wish I could take my heart out and cool it down...

Both princes were in a state of embarrassment, and the royal guards who rushed in after hearing the shouts had blood marks on their arms and even their faces. Qianlong's blood has solidified on their hands.

As the night went on, the wind blew harder. The fiercely blowing cold wind not only announced the demise of the Qianlong Dynasty, but also announced the doomed fate of the Manchu Dynasty.

"Daxing Emperor Long Yu Bintian..."

…

"Ah, the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother..." In the Changchun Fairy Pavilion, which is very close to Jiuzhou Qingyan, Niu Gulu, who only had one day and two nights left to celebrate his eightieth birthday, was filled with emotions after hearing the bad news. He took his last breath painfully and unwillingly.

This old lady who had enjoyed a lifetime of happiness knew that her grandson was going to be in trouble.
