Chapter 91 What a good emperor!
Qianlong had always had a psychological advantage over the Russians. He was not unaware that the Russians were strong, but he had a mysterious confidence and firmly believed that: "Although the Rakshasa land is rich and the country is vast, tea cloth and other things must be relied on to the mainland. Moreover, their annual trade makes a lot of profits, so they must ask us to pass the market. China controls it as much as it wants."
This may be because the idea of "using tea to control the barbarians" in China since ancient times is at work. This seemingly nonsense concept of political country is the consistent concept of the Central Plains dynasty since the Tang and Song dynasties.
The old Zhu family especially believed in this point, and for more than 200 years, they fully implemented the idea of "using tea to control the barbarians" in the past 200 years.
Zhu Yuanzhang once told Zhu Chun, the son of Chuanshu, that the state monopolized tea with the purpose of using tea for war horses. Now that the border is relaxed, private tea leaves the country, exchange us for useful things, and let others benefit everything, and suffer losses by themselves. How can this reflect the "control of Rongdi"? To this end, he introduced the gold medal trust system for tea, forming a trade pattern of "tea is expensive and horse is cheap", and firmly controls interests and control in his own hands.
The Tungus people generally inherited Zhu Ming's policy strategy. In this way, the political circles and Shilin reached a consensus on this. They all believed that as long as they control tea, rhubarb, and these powerful tools for eliminating oil, relieving greasiness and laxative, they could control the population and territory. However, they ignored the "Yi" at this time, which was other races that came from across the ocean, rather than the northern ethnic minorities that had been closely linked to the Central Plains dynasty.
Of course, in terms of the political circles of the Qing Dynasty and the Shilin, foreign barbarians like the Russians and English are no different from other ethnic minorities.
Under the influence of this psychological and cognitive approach, could Qianlong have no sense of superiority to Tsarist Russia?
Although he was very comforted by the Mongolian princes in front of him, deep down, he even hoped that the Russians could bully the people in front of him even more. Only in this way could these princes on the grassland unite closely under the banner of Daqingguo.
Especially those in the outer Zhasak Mongolia, Qianlong thought that what they said was fart. If the situation was really serious, there would be a minister in Kulun or a left-level general stationed in Ulyasutai who would hand over the memorial.
Now that a single note is not handed over, it can be seen that the situation is not serious.
When he returned to the capital, he issued an order to Kulun and Ulyasutai, asking people on both sides to send official documents to Tsarist Russia.
"Long live the Lord..."
The eunuch passed the order quietly into the tent, and Qianlong was closing his eyes to rest. After all, he was also a sixty-five-year-old.
"What's the matter?" Qianlong asked without opening his eyes.
"Report to Master Long Live, Shuzhongtang has sent a memorandum of 600 miles in a hurry!" Otherwise, how could he dare to come in at this time?
As people around Qianlong, these eunuchs in front of the imperial court knew very well that this longevity was not diligent at all.
"Shuhede?" Qianlong immediately opened his eyes.
This must be because the Qilu incident has made progress.
“Support it!”
The close-fitting eunuch immediately went down a few steps to pick up the note and respectfully held it in front of Qianlong.
"Okay, okay!" Shuhede did make great progress. However, Qianlong had no smile on his face: "Huang Han, Huang Han..."
This is burying his heart and slapping Daqingguo's face.
The short four words were pronounced in a slight slight manner by him, but the ears of other eunuchs, palace maids and guards in the imperial tent were all filled with a deep chill from the bottom of his heart.
"Transfer the order and order Shuhede to investigate thoroughly!"
Qianlong seemed to have a big stone pressed on his chest, and he was so disgusted. This hateful name is even more hateful than the likes of "Tiandihui" and "Hongmen".
He was in his sixties and was holding his anger, and Qianlong immediately became a little restless.
He paced back and forth in the imperial tent, like an anxious beast, with a terrifying murderous intent all over his body.
Who dared to make trouble for him like this over the years? Who dared to provoke him like this?
If he hadn't dug up the group of thieves in secret, he might have let out this anger, Qianlong felt that he would have lived five years less.
It was at this time that the eunuch who ordered the eunuch opened the curtain and entered the tent again.
"Report to Master, Shu Zhongtang has another memorandum!"
It was still half a day before we left, but after traveling thousands of miles from Linqing to Mulan paddock, time was cut a lot.
Qianlong was relieved all his unhappiness, and he felt that Shuhede must have brought him good news this time.
In fact, last time was good news.
At least he knew those two words, right?
"Haha, what a great emperor."
They did the few unintentional cases in the Central Plains, and they also did the money given to Wang Lun. Even this time, the thief turned around and went east to Central and Southern Shandong, they did it.
He even said arrogantly that he was confident of sending a large number of military supplies into the mountainous areas, and Qianlong did not believe it.
How is this possible?
How many people need to transport so much food?
Are the officials in central and southern Shandong blind?
No matter how skilled these thieves are, they are not magic tricks. Whether it is the case they did in the Central Plains or the ghosts they attacked in front of the Qingshui Sect, Qianlong firmly believed that it was because of the deep foundation of the Emperor Han Dynasty.
The prefectures in the Central Plains, on the Grand Canal, and in the Qingshui Sect, I’m afraid I don’t know that they have been penetrated by the emperor and the Han in a silent way. So the methods of those thieves are so "magical"!
"Yu Minzhong!"
"I'm here!"
Regardless of how many important officials in the inner court are with him or how many nobles are with him, the foreman of the Military Affairs Office is always unable to bypass this when discussing state affairs.
Yu Minzhong is a Han official. Although he is a Han official, he is still the foreman of the Military Affairs Office of Daqingguo and the number one person in the court.
When Qian Xiaosi re-established the Military Affairs Office in the second year of Qianlong, it was stipulated that the foreman of the military affairs minister must be the Manchus, and this hard standard has been broken by Qianlong himself.
There was no way. After Fu Heng and Yin Jishan died one after another, although there were many officials from the Qing Dynasty, they could not find any person who was qualified and capable of taking on the forefront of the Military Affairs Office.
Whether it is Feng Sheng'er, Qinggui, Ashiha, Agui, Shuhede, Guilin and others, they all have ups and downs, made a lot of contributions, but they have also made many mistakes. It is okay to be a minister of military affairs, but they are a little ineligible to be the head of the Military Affairs Office.
As for Fulong'an and Fukang'an, even though Qianlong carried them into the Military Affairs Office when they were 20 or 30 years old, his resume was weak and he had few contributions. Why should he convince the public?
The officials of the Eight Banners were reluctant to accept it. Qianlong had no choice but to resign himself and granted the position of the head of the Military Affairs Office to Liu Tongxun, who had 20 years of experience as a minister of the Military Affairs Office.
