"Wang Yipin is hateful, I will hang him! Hang him immediately!"
In the Qianqing Palace in Beijing, following Emperor Shunzhi's roar, Wang Yipin, the governor of Guangxi, was hanged.
Poor guy, he's so unlucky!
After finally spending money and relying on connections, he got an errand as the governor of Guangxi. Unexpectedly, the Qing army not only failed to conquer Guangxi, but also lost several provinces, and the governor of Guangxi became an empty post. Unwilling to give up, he continued to rely on connections, and just in time to catch up. Governor Ma Guozhu of Jiangnan died in the war, so the Qing government promoted him to Governor of Jiangnan.
Governor of the South of the Yangtze River! The pseudo-King Jing of the Ming Dynasty is on the Northern Expedition, and Nanjing is in danger. If he asks me to go to South Zhili, won't I be a prisoner of the Ming army? Wang Yipin doesn't want to go, but he is spending money and connections, hoping that the Qing government will give him this position. No need, go with someone else.
Unexpectedly, there were many trusted connections and many people talked nonsense, and the news reached the ears of Emperor Shunzhi.
The little emperor is crazy! Damn it! Seeing the benefits, he desperately wants to be an official; when there is danger, he desperately shrinks back! Do you still have any loyalty to the emperor and patriotism? The more you are afraid of death, the more I want to I'll die quickly! I'll hang you!
The emperor was angry, the governor suffered, and the case was decided quickly. Poor Wang Yipin, he was hanged before he became a first-grade man. In fact, he was not the only one. The situation of the Ming army in the south was very good. The officials of the Qing court regarded it as a good thing. Going to the south to take up a job is a near-death experience. Those who seek an official position are selected by the Ministry of Civil Affairs and discussed (that is, drawing lots to decide where to fill the vacant official positions). If they are offered the job in the southern provinces, they are "fearful but unable to take action."
To kill Wang Yipin, someone would have to be sent for the important post of Governor of Jiangnan! Who should be sent? The Ministry of Civil Affairs recommended a man named Lang Tingzuo, saying that he was "good-natured and capable of agility." In fact, he couldn't find anyone, so he had to choose. Finally, someone was willing to go. Emperor Shunzhi was overjoyed and ordered him to take office immediately.
As a result, Lang Tingzuo quickly took office and became the governor of Jiangnan four years earlier than in another time and space.

The desert is solitary, and the sun is setting over the long river.
The Qing government's mission to the Khoshote Khanate set off. The official members were only about three hundred, plus some "private persons" brought in by various officials, the number was close to a thousand. These people were mainly relatives of the mission officials. Friends, servants, etc., use the name of the mission to carry goods to Qinghai-Tibet for trade, which is safe and does not have to pay taxes.
This phenomenon was rare when the country was first founded. But eight years after entering the customs, the colorful world in the customs gradually corrupted the Manchu nobles. Everyone realized the benefits of silver, so naturally they had to do everything possible to get it. The mission was just following the trend. .
Of course, it has only been eight years since we entered the Pass, and many veterans from the Taizu and Taizong periods are still alive. Historically, it would take another seven years for the Eight Banners disciples to really become rotten enough to affect the war. Seven years later, there was a man named Fang. The poet of the article wrote: "In the past, I was holding fur coats and buttermilk, but now I am sipping tea and burning incense. I am full of ambitions for my old age, and I am willing to die in the battlefield." "When cattle and sheep see each other on the grass, who can sing songs" vividly describes the seriousness of the depravity of the Eight Banners disciples.
The chief envoy of the mission is Ma Leji, a bachelor of the Hongwen Academy of the Imperial Academy, and there are three deputy envoys: Hu Zhaolong, the Minister of Rites and a bachelor of the Secretariat of the Imperial Academy, Qi Chebai, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Peng Ershu, the governor of Guizhou.
Peng Ershu originally curried favor with Kong Youde during his southern campaign, and got the job of governor of Guizhou. Unfortunately, Kong Youde failed to capture Guizhou, and he himself died in the battle. His position as governor of Guizhou became an empty one.
However, Peng Ershu had a backing. He and Wang Duo, the Shaobao of the Qing court and the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, were fellow villagers. They were all from Henan, so whether they were close or not, they were from their hometown. Wang Duo was originally a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion in the Ming Dynasty and a member of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Shangshu was also a famous scholar. Unfortunately, he became a traitor! He was highly valued by the Qing court. Under Wang Duo's recommendation, Peng Ershu was appointed as deputy envoy of the mission.
The delegation traveled from Beijing to Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, and finally to Qinghai, about to enter Tibet.
The officials of the Heshuote Khanate in Qinghai were very attentive and courteous. Looking at the beautiful scenery of "the sky is blue, the fields are vast, and the wind blows the grass and cattle and sheep are low", listening to the melodious sound of the matouqin and the simple and high-pitched Mongolian folk songs
, drinking the richly fragrant kumiss. Maleji suddenly sighed.
"The road is long and long!"
Peng Ershu is the most observant person, "What are the bachelors worried about?"
Malji smiled and changed the topic, "Peng Futai is a very knowledgeable man. Does he know the general situation of the Oirat Mongolia and the Khoshote Khanate?"
"Xiaguan also traveled to the western part of the desert when he was young and knew a little about the Uyzat Mongolia. When Genghis Khan conquered the "people in the forest", he ordered his younger brother Habtu to command the western desert. This Gushi Khan was Habtu.
The 19th generation grandson of Butu. Oirat Mongolia is divided into Heshuote, Junggar, Durbot, Torgut, and Huite tribes. Among them, Gushi Khan of the Heshuote tribe is the strongest, followed by the Junggar tribe.
Then came the tribes of Turbot, Turgut, and Huite.
"What about their official system? Which officials will we have to deal with on this mission?"
"Gushi Khan followed the Weizat alliance system and established the Heshuote Bataiji alliance to decide Qinghai affairs. He also made his sixth son Dorji be in charge of Qinghai Zhutaiji, and his nephew Eqirtu was in charge of the remaining Western Regions.
(Xinjiang) Heshuote headquarters and Huitaiji of various Wezat tribes are all hereditary. The territory is called "Ulusi", and there are Khan, Da Noyan, the four ruling ministers, Demuqi and other Noyans (nobles)
; Under "Ulusi" there is "Otok", with officials such as Zaisang and Heshuoqi; under "Otok", according to the number of nomadic households, there are 40 households with Changdemuqi and 20 households.
The title of chief is Leng'e, and the chief of several households is Ayinle."
"Oh, so in Qinghai, we want to focus on building a good relationship with Dorji, and in the Western Regions, we want to have a good relationship with Eqiltu?"
"Exactly. But I think that Batur Hutaiji of the Junggar tribe in the Western Regions is also a figure who must be won over. After Gushi Khan conquered Qinghai-Tibet, he brought tens of thousands of the most elite troops of the Heshuote tribe and a large number of tribesmen
They moved to Qinghai-Tibet, so now the largest tribe in the Western Region is not the Heshuote tribe but the Junggar tribe."
"Yeah, that makes sense."
"Bachelor, since Gushi Khan entered Lhasa, the center of the Heshuote Khanate has been transferred from Chahantuoluohai in Qinghai to Lhasa. The lower official believes that in order to achieve the purpose of uniting Heshuotefaming, there is a person
Must win over”.
"Oh, who is it?"
"Diba Suonan Raodan (also translated as Suonan Qunpei) appointed by Gushi Khan is Gushi Khan's confidant, somewhat similar to a prime minister. Gushi Khan and Suonan Raodan are called "the sun in the sky"
"Yue" are the two most powerful people in Tibet. In addition, Suonan Raodan's younger brother Norbu is also deeply trusted by Gushi Khan.
Gushi Khan established Diba and Gasha under the throne to manage Tibet. Diba is equivalent to the prime minister and has daily administrative power; Gasha is composed of several Gabuluns and is equivalent to the aristocratic parliament.
After listening to Peng Ershu's introduction, Malji laughed loudly, "I originally thought that this trip to Lhasa was like 'the road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to reach the sky.' But with an expert like Peng Futai, how difficult is it? No.
It’s difficult!”
Indeed, under Peng Ershu's advice, Malji's trip to Tibet went very smoothly. First, he appeased Huetaiji and Taiji of Heshuote, Junggar, Durbot, Torgut, and Huite tribes.
He focused on making friends with Dorji, the sixth son of Gushi Khan, his nephew Eqirtu, and Hutaiji Batur of the Junggar tribe; then he went to the northern Tibetan grasslands and gave gifts to Dayan Eqir, the eldest son of Gushi Khan.
A generous gift; finally came to Lhasa and met with Suonan Raodan, Gushi Khan’s right-hand man.
