One hundred and fiftieth chapters Dingyuan battle twenty-seven
Aihui City is the headquarters of the Heilongjiang Dutong Yamen. There are 2,000 elite soldiers from the Eight Banners. Each of the Eight Banners garrisoned are Baerhu, Suolun, and Daur soldiers. There are more than 3,000 residents of various ethnic groups in the city. [] Since Aihui was built, it was Manchu Qing
That is to say, the Dutong Yamen was set up here to command the people of all ethnic groups in the Heilongjiang area. However, the Heilongjiang Dutong Yamen only had a vice-president, three deputy leaders, three assistant leaders, and seven assistant leaders. In the 14th year of Kangxi, the original
The deputy capital of Ningguta, Sabusu from Manchuria's Xianghuang Banner, was transferred to Aihui and served as the deputy capital of Heilongjiang, and was actually awarded the second rank.
Since the 19th year of Kangxi, when the Holy Will required the construction of Aihun City in Heilongjiang, Sabusu spent most of his time preparing for war in Aihui City. However, today, he gathered with a group of officials in Aihui City. It was still dark before dawn.
The officials of the Heilongjiang Dutong Yamen headed by Bu Su left the city from the south gate and headed for Qingshan Village, ten miles south of the city. Along the way, flags were fluttering, and some areas were even covered with yellow sand to warn the Qing soldiers of the snake formation. Such a formation
, which attracted the attention of the city residents and passing merchants. The people inside had seen the scene. The old man who remembered the emperor’s eastward tour in the tenth year of Kangxi’s reign even explained it to the younger generation, saying that it was probably the emperor who came to inspect the east again.
.
The emperor's patrol is a major event in China. Based on the battles they saw before them, the descendants were convinced. Otherwise, why would all the officials from the Dutong Yamen have gone to Qingshantun. Everyone speculated when the emperor would resist Ai Hui, and wondered if they would be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the sky.
.Last year the Holy Emperor visited the east, but he went to Jilin and Ninggu Pagoda instead of Heilongjiang. This disappointed many Heilongjiang people. If the Holy Emperor really came in person today, the residents of Aihui City would have hope in the future.
The natives of Hezhe, Fiyaka, and Daur have something to show off. Some residents who are familiar with the patrolling soldiers find an opportunity to get close to them when no one is paying attention, trying to find out from them whether the Holy Master is coming.
The soldiers didn't know, and some who knew something refused to tell them. This made the inquirers very angry, and they secretly cursed that their usual filial piety was in vain. However, the more the soldiers behaved like this, the more the residents believed that the emperor was really true.
When it was about to come, all the residents of Aihui, ranging from the elderly to young children, came to the south gate. The street was surrounded by water and the streets were blocked. The guard of the south gate city finally sent troops to disperse them and ensure that the south gate and the capital were unified.
The road to the Yamen is smooth.
In Qingshantun, at Chen hour, in a pavilion built like a Han pavilion in Guan Nei, Sabusu, the deputy governor of Heilongjiang, who was nearly sixty years old, stood upright, looking forward to the south. There were two chairs in the pavilion, and Sabusu came
But he never sat down and kept standing with an extremely serious expression. As a result, none of the officials from the Dutong Yamen who came with him dared to sit down, and they all stood there with the Deputy Dutong. It was a muggy day in August.
It was unbearable. The pavilion was not big, and the shade provided could only accommodate a few people. Most officials had no choice but to stand under the direct sunlight, which made them miserable.
"Old General, the imperial envoy has not arrived yet. Why don't we sit down and wait? The old general is already old after all. Standing there for so long will inevitably be nerve-wracking."
Not only officials from the Heilongjiang Dutong Yamen came to Qingshantun, but Dutong Peng Chun and his bodyguard Lang Tan, who were ordered to explore north, were also here. The two went south from Aihun on July 21 and just arrived yesterday.
The purpose of arriving at Aihuicheng was to come with Sabusu to receive the order. Sabusu was a young man with white hair, but he stood like a strong man. Peng Chun admired him but couldn't bear it, seeing the size of the Heilongjiang Dutong Yamen.
The official did not dare to speak, so he wanted to go out and ask Sabusu to sit and wait, lest it take too long, and if the old general was not exhausted or was suffering from the heat, he would be in trouble after the imperial envoy arrived.
"What? Does Mr. Peng think that I am old and no longer needed?"
Peng Chun had good intentions but was unreasonable. He turned his head and glanced at Peng Chun. He seemed a little dissatisfied with Peng Chun and seemed to be proving that he was not old yet. Weiwei straightened his head and said angrily: "I joined the army.
After decades of killing enemies, making meritorious deeds, and fighting hundreds of battles, the Rakshasa people have suffered many hardships at my hands. It is for this reason that Long Live the Lord sent me to Heilongjiang to prepare for the war against the Rakshasa people...
Ever since I was appointed, I have been trembling with fear, fearing to disgrace the emperor's order, and I have done all the errands with extra care, even if there is nothing wrong with me... Lord Peng is right, I am nearly sixty years old, but my body is very strong.
How can an ordinary old man compare with me..." Speaking of this, Sabusu slapped his chest fiercely and shouted: "My bones are no worse than Master Peng's. Don't even say that standing still is a competition with Master Peng.
, I won’t try to make too many concessions! If Mr. Peng doesn’t believe it, I will give you a try. I wonder if you dare?”
"Yes, yes, yes, the old general and old Ji are ambitious, and their merits are in the Qing Dynasty. Everyone knows it." Peng Chun was afraid that Sabu Suniu would lose his temper and wanted to compete with him now, so he was willing to bow down and clasped his fists.
He said: "The martial arts of the old general is the best among the generals of the Eight Banners outside the Pass. How dare Peng dare to compete with the old general? Peng thinks he is no match for the old general, but he does not dare to make such a fool of himself."
Peng Chun's words greatly benefited Sabusu. He had a dislike for Peng Chun and had never interacted with him before. One was an official in Heilongjiang and the other was serving in the Mongolian Eight Banners in Beijing. They were each doing their own duties and there was no possibility of friendship.
Peng Chun had some unknown luck, and was actually sent to Heilongjiang by Long Live Lord, in the name of investigating the movements of the Rakshasa people, but everyone knew that after this investigation, a war would come. After Sabu entered the army,
Most of the battles were fought by the Rakshasa people. After being transferred to Heilongjiang, he took charge of his own role and tried to prevent the Rakshasa people from further encroaching on the Qing land along the river. Although they had great military exploits in these years, they also made a lot of achievements, not to mention other things.
Sabusu was very proud of the fact that Aihun City was built under the eyes of the Rakshasa people. He originally thought that after the platform, the court would declare war on the Rakshasa people, and the leader would be none other than himself, but now he came out of thin air.
He married Peng Chun, and was directly responsible for everything he did. This made Sabusu very angry. He did not dare to lose the emperor's temper, so he could only vent his anger on Peng Chun.
It's not that Sabusu didn't know that Peng Chun cared about him, but he just couldn't control the anger in his heart. Secondly, he was indeed older, and he was a little tired after standing for so long. If others tried to persuade him, he would sit down, but
It happened that the person who spoke this time was Peng Chun. If he sat down, wouldn't he admit to Peng Chun that he was really old? Sabusu didn't want to be like the Han people's incorruptible people, and the emperor thought that he really didn't need it, so he immediately
When he got angry, he gave Peng Chun a fierce blow. Unexpectedly, Peng Chun didn't care about him at all. He respected himself very much both inside and outside his words. He couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Peng Chun's eyes were also full of regret.
He became a little gentler, but he didn't stop talking. He actually followed Peng Chun's words and started to review his life.
"In the third year of Kangxi's reign, when I was in the Ningguta Xiaoqiao Cavalry School, I went to battle against the Rakshasa people under the leadership of General Sharhuda. I personally led troops to attack the Rakshasa people and killed four Rakshasa soldiers. In the tenth year of Kangxi's reign,
I also led 800 soldiers to surround dozens of Rakshasa soldiers and killed dozens of them. In the 17th year of Kangxi, after I was promoted to the deputy capital of Ningguta due to my meritorious service, I led my troops to defeat more than a hundred Rakshasa soldiers who invaded the south... Master Peng must have
You know, since the time of Emperor Taizong, we Manchus have been reading "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Sun Tzu's Art of War" as the way to lead the army. I am not talented, but I have read these two books endlessly since I was a child. It can be said that I have memorized them by heart...
"
Sabusu's eloquence made Peng Chun and Lang Tan on the side feel dizzy. Peng Chun was so regretful that his intestines turned green. If he had known that this old man was so talkative and stubborn, why was he so kind just now?
Well, it's better now. My grandson has been fooled, and I have to listen to his wordy words again. I'm really asking for trouble. While Sabusu was talking eloquently, Peng Chun nodded and glanced secretly at the officials of Heilongjiang, big and small, and saw their expressions.
Weird, his eyes seemed to be secretly having fun, and he couldn't help but realize that these officials knew the nature of their deputy governor, so they did not do anything unnecessary, but it caused an outsider like himself to get into trouble.
In the future, he will never get involved with this old man. He will do whatever he likes. Peng Chun secretly made up his mind and listened helplessly to Sabusu continuing to "brag" about his past deeds. Just when he was feeling sleepy, he heard
A heavenly voice came from the side:
"The Imperial Envoy is here!"
"play music!"
The Dutong Yamen official who had been impatient for a long time shouted spontaneously without waiting for Sabusu's order. Suddenly, the musicians, who were swaying in the sun, started beating gongs and drums. The loud sound of gongs and drums broke the silence of Qingshantun.
It also lifted everyone’s spirits.
The imperial envoy's car was escorted by a group of officers and soldiers from the Qianqi Battalion. The team was not long, only one mile in front and back. In addition to the imperial envoy's ceremonial guard, there were more than a dozen Forbidden Palace guards in yellow jackets at the front. The bright yellow color made everyone stare.
Dazzling, I subconsciously felt a sense of royal majesty.
With the music of the band, the imperial team drove slowly. The first carriage stopped a dozen meters in front of Sabusu and others. A first-class officer wearing a crane patch uniform followed him to set up the
Slowly walk down the short ladder to get off the carriage.
"The officials of all sizes under the rule of the deputy governor of Heilongjiang, Sabusu, respectfully welcome the imperial envoy!"
"Slave Mongolian Vice-Capital Peng Chun respectfully welcomes the imperial envoy!"
"Slave Lang Tan respectfully welcomes the imperial envoy!"
"..."
A group of officials, led by Sabusu and Peng Chun, knelt down in unison, followed closely by the guards and musicians, who knelt together.
After everyone in front of them knelt down, the senior official did not immediately come forward to talk to Sabusu, Peng Chun and others. Instead, he took out an imperial edict from a brocade box, looked around, and then read aloud:
"Edict: For several years in Heilongjiang, the deputy capital of Heilongjiang, Sabusu, has been living and working in peace and contentment. The people have lived in great heights and achieved great results both internally and externally. He has been promoted to the general of Heilongjiang. I admire this."

Author's note: The imperial edicts such as "Inherited by heaven, the emperor issued an edict" are all nonsense in TV dramas. They usually begin with an edict. For example, the imperial edicts of the Ming Dynasty were mostly "edicts" and so on. They were only used during major events such as offering sacrifices to heaven and the Ancestral Temple.
