The heavy snow fell all night, and it didn't light up until the next morning, and then slowly stopped. [] As soon as the snowflakes stopped, the day immediately became clear, but the sun hanging in the sky was
It never brings a trace of warmth to people. The snow stopped and the wind stopped, and Batu and others were outside, so they decided to set off for Sanxing immediately. This place is still more than 60 miles away from Sanxing, so we have to hurry up and take a day.
There is no way to reach the ground, so we have to stay one night on the way, and the next place for accommodation is Tunergou.
Tunergou is a small village, inhabited by some Hezhe and Daur people. This place is the only place for people from the north to go to Sanxing, and it is considered an important transportation place between the north and the south. During the Shunzhi period, the Qing Dynasty established a deputy chief in Sanxing.
After the government unified the Yamen, Tun'ergou became an important town. It was a small village with only one assistant leader stationed there, which was regarded as a barrier for the three surnames. However, after decades of development, Tunergou has also changed from a single town in the past.
The residence of the Hezhe tribe became a place of transit between the south and the north. Because there were more caravans coming and going, the Hezhe people also spontaneously built some hotels and restaurants, and gradually formed a merchant style.
After the founding of the Qing Dynasty, except for the Rakshasa people in the far north, the country was generally peaceful and prosperous. Therefore, Tunergou is now more of a business stopover than a military town like before.
The destination of the caravan, Sanxing, is not a city, but a settlement composed of three Hezhe tribes with different surnames. Just like the tribes inhabited by the Mongolians in the grasslands, they live in tribes and live in tribes.
The combined tribe is Tun. These three different surnames refer to the three Hezhe people's surnames of Keyikele, Nuyal and Hushihali. Later, in order to facilitate the management of these Hezhe people with different surnames, the Qing Dynasty collectively referred to them as Yi.
Lan Hara. In Manchu, Yilan means three, and Hara is the surname, so people call it San surname. Zhao Qiang turned over the map and knew that these three surnames were probably located in Heilongjiang Province in later generations. It was at the confluence of Mudanjiang and Songhua Rivers, and Heilongjiang and Songhua.
Like Sandaotun, the intersection of the Yangtze River and the Yangtze River, it has an extremely important geographical position. However, unlike Sandaotun, the Qing government still attached great importance to the three surnames. It only established a deputy capital official office in the three surnames.
It can be seen that the Qing court attached great importance to this place. The subordinate, three-surname deputy governor's Yamen were under the jurisdiction of the Jilin generals, but not the Heilongjiang general Yamen. In this era, the Qing Dynasty's demarcation of the provinces outside the customs was far from that of later generations, so
Zhao Qiang would not take it for granted and rigidly transfer the concepts of provincial boundary divisions from later generations of national maps.
Batu Ci led his team to visit Sanxing, and when he came back, he reported everything he knew to Wei Ji. According to Wei Ji, these three surnames were originally the Yueli Ji tribe of the Five Kingdoms of Daliao.
After the rise of the Jurchens, the Jin Dynasty changed it to Huli Gailu, and during the Yuan Dynasty of the Mongols, Huli Gai and Two Ten Thousand Households were established here. By the time of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty
They also set up garrison and garrison here. In short, all dynasties and generations did not pay much attention to this place of the three surnames. Now the deputy commander of the three surnames is Suo Zhu, a Manchurian yellow banner man. Under his rule, there is an elite Eight Banners soldier and two
There are several Eight Banners garrison soldiers under the command, and there are also hundreds of Mongolian armored men. Among the several vice-dutong yamen under the same rule of General Jilin, Suozhu's strength is relatively high. He is an average person, not to mention
It is neither good nor bad. He follows the old path of Ren when he governs the people, and does not make any changes to the various policies left by his predecessor. For this kind of person, Zhao Qiang's evaluation is mediocre.
On this trip south to the capital, in addition to completing the few things he had to do, Zhao Qiang also had another purpose, which was to find out the details of the Qing generals in various places, and who were the opponents to pay attention to in the future, and who could be ignored.
After deciding to set off, Batu summoned the post officer and paid him money for accommodation and fodder. He also gave him an extra five taels of silver and gave them half a pocket. The post officer and the postmen thanked them profusely.
After setting off again, there was no snowstorm along the way. However, due to the heavy snowfall for three consecutive days, the snow on the official road was as thick as the knees, so the carriage could not go too fast. Fortunately, Tun'ergou was not far away.
It was only more than twenty miles away, so before the sun went down, the caravan arrived at Tunergou. As usual, Batu went out to contact the place where he lived, and also brought some silver and two good mink coins.
Pi and an old ginseng went to visit the garrison commander Qi'a in Tun'ergou.
Bringing gifts and tributes to visit Qi'a is firstly to send a note, and secondly, it is also for Qi'a to issue the itinerary to the caravan. The so-called itinerary is necessary for the caravan from outside the customs to travel north and south. It is similar to the customs and defense jams. There are
With the Dicheng, the caravans can travel freely everywhere, but without the Dicheng, it is difficult to move. Although the Qing government was not as harsh on the Han people outside the customs as it was inside the customs, and people of all ethnic groups could travel to various places with household registration certificates, there were still some restrictions on the caravans.
It is a must, at least, that every time the caravan passes through, it must have an itinerary issued by the local government. If not, it can be punished as a spy or an enemy sympathizer.
Qi'a is a good old man, a real good man. Although he is an assistant leader, his daily behavior is no different from that of ordinary people. He has a good official reputation in Tun'ergou and has never condoned his subordinates in robbing people's property or blackmailing people.
The caravans who came and went were also treated with courtesy, accepting what should be accepted, and never accepting what should not be accepted. After receiving things, he would always do things and never make things difficult for the visitors. After Batu sent the things, he accepted the silver and mink skins,
But he returned the old ginseng, saying, "It's not easy in your tribe. It's really not easy to go out and trek through mountains and rivers in the cold weather. The buyers with the three surnames of the old ginseng paid high prices, so it would be a pity to give it to me."
, why don’t you exchange it for some oil, salt, rice and noodles.” Just like that, he gave Batu the procession. Since the caravan was in the name of the Sauron people, the process was also written with the name of the Sauron tribe.
After getting the route, Batu arranged for his men to stay one night in two hotels owned by Hezhe people. Before dawn the next day, the caravan continued to rush towards Sanxing. When Sanxing arrived,
By that time, it was almost dark, and I could no longer contact the buyer to sell the goods, so I stayed at a large carriage house for one night. The next day, I sent seven or eight people to go separately to find the goods.
A big buyer.
The caravan was busy shipping goods, and Zhao Qiang took the twelve guards he selected and 24 fast horses to the direction of Ninggu Pagoda. In fact, going to the capital does not necessarily require going to Ninggu Pagoda and passing through Shengjing.
If you then break through Shanhaiguan to enter Beijing, you can go northwest through the Horqin Grassland south of Sanxing and enter the Shanxi Pass through Datong. However, the distance is far, and you may not be able to enter the customs. Because although the Qing government did not allow people outside the customs to enter the customs,
People of the tribe are free to move around, but they are strictly prohibited from entering the customs at will. If you want to enter the customs, you must have a road guide issued by the government. If you want to have a road guide, it can only be issued by Ninggu Pagoda, Shengjing and other places.
Issued by the government. Therefore, if Zhao Qiang wants to enter the pass, he must go to Ninggu Pagoda in exchange for his own way.
Zhao Qiang continued to use the name of a merchant in exchange for guidance, but it was not him who came forward, but his subordinate Deqiu from Sauron, and among the twenty-four fast horses they carried, three fast horses were transported by camels.
They are waiting for mink skins and old ginseng, as well as dozens of dongzhu and other valuable treasures. These mink skins, ginseng, and dongzhu are all good things snatched from Russian hands. Each piece is worth taking out individually.
It can be sold at a good price, but if it is sold in Sanxing, the price will be lowered by those merchants. Therefore, merchants who have good goods have always chosen to take the things to Shengjing or take the trouble to pass them.
Take action. Therefore, as long as the trap is not exposed, Zhao Qiang believes that the Ningguta government will provide guidance for Deqiu. If the government is in trouble, just use the gold and silver he carries to clear the way.
September is the baby's birthday, nephew's birthday, big and small things are all in one basket, so there are few updates. Please forgive me, Bones will make up for it in October.
