Chapter 193 Jinchuan (6)

After a while, Putawa stopped sobbing.Aisha smiled and said: Tell me?Pudawa's head was still on her shoulder, and she said in a low voice: Today is the anniversary of Grandma's death.Aisha knew that after Pudawa entered the Tibetan area, she had been in a low mood because of Erhui's mother, but only then did she know that today is Erhui's death day, because Erhui's last diary was written after being poisoned, and she was very painful at that time , Only wrote a few words in a hurry to explain the whole story and funeral, and then committed suicide without writing the date... So I hugged him tightly and stroked his hair.Pudawa's hair is now past his shoulders and tied in a small braid in the back. His hair is straight and black with a soft sheen.She said softly: "When we get to my house, let's do a good sacrifice to Grandma."Putawa nodded.

At night, seeing him sleeping soundly beside her, she even wanted to have a baby right away.Every day she would pray for this matter. In this night, she got up quietly and prayed for a long time in front of the golden statues of Shengle Vajra and Vajra Hai.

The second day was a day off.In the evening, everyone moved stools and sat in the middle of the open dam to watch the sunset, facing Mount Siguniang.At dinner yesterday, Fu Heng had already told everyone about the legend of Mount Siguniang:

According to legend, a long time ago, there were heavy rains and mountain torrents in Rilong, and people suffered from disasters.In this village lived the Abalangi family, who had four daughters who were as bright as flowers and jade.Abalangi found out that the person who caused the disaster was a demon king of Medola, so he resolutely fought the demon king in exchange for people's peace and prosperity.However, Abalang was very old and was unfortunately killed by the devil.Before he died, he turned into a mountain range to block the torrents for the people.

In order to fulfill his father's last wish, his four daughters designed to kill the Great Demon King, but the Tianhe embankment was opened by the dying Great Demon King with magic, and the flood still killed the creatures here, so the four girls sacrificed their lives to block the water and turned into four mountain peaks. Blocking the cold current from the north makes the climate in this valley warmer, the sun is shining, and the grain, vegetables and fruits are harvested every year.It is the beautiful legend of Siguniang Mountain that exchanged young lives for the living space of the common people.Siguniang Mountain, the Tibetan name "Shigu Larouda", means the Great God Mountain.Mount Siguniang has a white gauze on its head all year round, glaciers on its shoulders, green forests around its waist, and a clear stream.

At this time, everyone looked at each other.The trajectory of the sun gradually moves towards the western mountains. Through the thin mist in the west, the highest Siguniang peak begins to shine, and Guozhuangping is first covered with a layer of brilliant velvet by the afterglow of the setting sun. That wonderful color The texture and texture seem to be soothed by touching with hands.

Immediately afterwards, the other three girl peaks were also much brighter. The blending and collision of the setting sun and the white snow reflected a girlish blush.Just like sisters, the consonance can be communicated at a single touch, like a telepathy, all four girls were kissed by the sunset for the last time, their cheeks flushed with shame, and even the blossoming snow that surrounded them like angels was touched by the kiss. Their shy rouge is red.Looking down at the nearby Guozhuangping, it has quietly withdrawn from the sunny world, and the other surrounding peaks, together with the afterglow, give up the afterglow to the four girls who are higher up and more ecstasy.

The sun is still sinking, and the refracted light field is also gradually creeping towards the top of the mountain. The steep peaks play a red and black movement. Accompanied by the peaceful and happy Hongyun, with unspeakable nostalgia and shyness for the world, he is the last one to disappear outside the world of light.

Everyone was stunned by the beautiful scenery in front of them, and Yingluo praised Aisha: It's so beautiful!Shen Bi wondered if he had seen it?Aisha smiled and said: Yes, we have been here together when we were young.We like Siguniang Mountain the most, and we have climbed there too.Aisha has been taking Chinese classes every day for more than half a year, and now she can basically understand her.Yingluo said to Fu Heng: Young master, there are such beautiful places in this world, Yingluo is really an eye-opener!Fu Heng looked at her with a smile.

In the daytime of the third day, Fu Heng took Yingluo, Aisha and his wife, Hulin Ye Tianshi Ruidong and others for a walk, and saw that the vast sea of ​​clouds divided the majestic Balang Mountains into upper and lower parts: the upper part is a high mountain with colorful wild flowers. The meadow, below is the mysterious and deep virgin forest.You can also see flocks of cattle and sheep in the plains enjoying themselves under the blue sky and white clouds.

The sun was shining brightly, the wind was blowing in the long canyon, and the glaciers were magnificent.There are also wonderful pineapple hanging in the dense forest of the virgin forest in the valley.Known as a must, the sea of ​​clouds in Balang Mountain has the wonder of whether the wind is surging, as well as the ever-changing, rolling, moving, surging clouds like a giant dragon, and the unstoppable mountain crossing that is soft but strong, whistling sharply, powerfully and powerfully. Clouds are amazing.

After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms.Fu Heng unfolded the military map, sat at the table with Yingluo, and told her the whole story of the Jinchuan battle in detail.

The Dadu River Basin is steeped in mountains and dangerous valleys, and the terrain is extremely steep. The Dadu River is Jinchuan.Dajinchuan is located in the Daxue Mountains in the upper reaches of the Dadu River, with mountains and rivers behind it, and its terrain is particularly steep.Even the Tang army in its heyday could not control the big and small Jinchuan basins. During the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, the forces only reached the Dadu River as the boundary, let alone the Song and Ming Dynasties.The location of Dajinchuan and Jinchuan is exactly at the junction of the three Tibetan areas, "Tibet (U-Zang) to the west, Wenmao (Qiang) to the east, Qinghai (Anduo Zang) to the north, and Kham-Tibet to the south."The Battle of Jinchuan cost a total of 7705 million taels of silver, but sending troops to Kangzang, including Jiarongzang, Weizang, and Anduozang under our feet, is the pinnacle of martial arts in China for thousands of years, and the grand plan of the emperor.

The Battle of Jinchuan reflected the imperial government's change in the way and strategy of ruling the Sichuan-Tibet region, with the intention of changing from appeasement to complete naturalization.In fact, the Ming Dynasty’s control over the Sichuan-Tibet region was very weak, and it was hard to even call it control, and it never sent troops to go deep into the Tibetan region, including the Jinchuan region, which is only [-] kilometers away from Chengdu.For this area, the imperial court initially followed the chieftain system of the Ming Dynasty.In the first year of Yongzheng, Sha Luoben, chieftain of Dajinchuan, was officially awarded the title of fifth-rank pacifier.

In the spring of the 12th year of Qianlong, Sha Luoben hijacked Zewang, chieftain of Xiaojinchuan.The emperor appointed Zhang Guangsi as the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, commanded [-] troops, and went to conquer Dajinchuan, which was the beginning of the Jinchuan campaign.Zhang Guangsi's army was divided into two groups, from west Sichuan to Xichang and from south Sichuan to Chengdu to attack Shaluoben.At the beginning of the campaign, Maoniu, Masang and other places occupied by Dajinchuan were recovered successively; in June, Minuo of Xiaojinchuan was stationed, and Zewang, the chieftain of Xiaojinchuan, heard that he had surrendered, and sent troops to cooperate with the imperial court to attack Dajinchuan.The emperor was full of confidence in the eradication of Dajinchuan.

One of the main strongholds of Dajinchuan Tusi is in Lewuwei, where Shaluoben’s official village is located, and the other is in Garya, guarded by his son Langka, on the main road to Dajinchuan and Lewuwei.At the end of July, the Western Route Army of the Imperial Court reached only [-] miles away from Garya Guanzhai; the South Route Army captured several Dajinchuan blockhouses, causing the Dajinchuan soldiers to retreat to Dusong Fortress.However, in August, the army was helpless in front of the battle towers in Dajinchuan.Only at this time did Zhang Guangsi realize the difficulty of attacking the blockade.The army used various methods such as digging tunnels, digging holes in walls, cutting off waterways, and shelling, but none of them worked.The emperor had no choice but to order Zhang Guangsi to temporarily move to Xiangyang Pingkuang, to rest for a while, and to fight again in the spring of the next year.

At the beginning of the first month of the 13th year of Qianlong, Dajinchuan soldiers captured Gagu Diaoka on the river bank, and more than [-] local soldiers guarding the tower opened the gate and followed Dajinchuan soldiers across the river.On the [-]th, they captured the Seventh Office of Karen established by Lang Jianye and killed the guerrilla Meng Chen.On the [-]th, under the pursuit of Dajinchuan soldiers, Lang Jianye led his troops back to Badi, and Ma Liangzhu's troops also retreated to Sun Kezong's fortress, resulting in the loss of many military uniforms and artillery positions.Zhang Guangsi's plan to attack Dajinchuan failed completely.

After Zhang Guangsi's campaign failed, the emperor planned to send Yue Zhongqi to the front line, but because of Zhang Guangsi's rift with Yue Zhongqi, the emperor ordered Yue Zhongqi to serve in the front of the army with the rank of admiral.He also sent Naqin, a bachelor and minister of military aircraft, as a strategist to command the war on the front line of Jinchuan.In the intercalary July of the 13th year of Qianlong, the emperor received a memorial from Neqin and Zhang Guangsi to the left.Neqin played inconsistently before and after. He had no strategy and chaos, and all the responsibility for laboring teachers and paying wages was pushed to Zhang Guangsi. As a strategy, he seemed to have no responsibility to bear. It is difficult for ministers to work together."On the other hand, Zhang Guangsi despised accepting relatives and deliberately shirked.

Yue Zhongqi conducted some investigations in the army, and found that since Zhang Guangsi led the army to Jinchuan, he had used two behind-the-scenes agents, one was his old friend Wang Qiu from Kunming, Yunnan, and the other was a local official Liang Erji. Both of them were spies sent by Sha Luoben, so Sha Luoben knew about the actions of the Qing army in the past two years and took precautions, which made the army unable to attack for a long time and lost many generals.At the beginning of August, the emperor received two memorials from Yue Zhongqi against Zhang Guangsi, angrily killed Zhang Guangsi, and bestowed death on his relatives.

In November, Yue Zhongqi was ordered to be the admiral of Sichuan, and Fu Heng was appointed as the manager.Fu Heng led his troops all the way through the stars and the moon, traveling 21 miles a day, or even more than 3 miles. After more than a month, on December [-], they rushed to the Kasa barracks, and immediately sent Xiao Jinchuan Liang Erji, Ah Kou and the traitor Wang Qiu He and his wife beheaded to show the public, and Liang Erji's younger brother Xiaolangsu ruled the territory.And immediately reported to the emperor the battle plan of abandoning the battle blockhouses and smashing the thief's nest, and more than [-] elite soldiers from neighboring provinces were deployed. Attack from Kasa in the southeast of Garya, and attack Ma Yagang and Naidang two ditches from Jiasuo, avoiding strong points and taking gaps, even conquering blocks, the sound of the army is loud.Because of this, Le Wuwei was isolated. Taking advantage of Sha Luoben's fear, Yue Zhongqi and Fu Heng only brought their entourage thirteen riders into Wulewei's official village to persuade Sha Luoben to surrender. For the chieftain of Jinchuan, the battle of Jinchuan in the past two years ended.

After listening to the twists and turns of the incident, Yingluo asked: General Yue Zhongqi, is he a descendant of Yue Fei, a famous general in the Kangxi Dynasty?Fu Heng nodded and said: Well, General Men Huzi, he followed the old fourteenth prince, entered Lhasa for the court, and Nian Gengyao pacified Xining, and caressed Qinghai. He was a soldier all his life, with outstanding military exploits. He is an outstanding figure among Han generals.As a result, he was impeached by Ertai Zhang Guangsi because of his involvement in the Lu Liuliang case. The first emperor put him in prison and was not released until the second year of Qianlong.It was reactivated by the emperor during the Battle of Jinchuan, and it was over 60 years old at that time.

Yingluo shook her head and said: Is there no justice in this world?Fu Hengdao: The first emperor was cold and suspicious, Zhang Guangsi was arrogant and domineering, and Ertai was in charge of power. During the Battle of Jinchuan, the emperor first sent Bandi to assist Zhang Guangsi. Bandi knew that Zhang Guangsi was self-willed and difficult to control, so he asked the emperor to send military officials to go there. , the emperor sent Neqin, who did not expect that he and Zhang Guangsi died together in the Jinchuan War.In the Battle of Jinchuan, if General Yue hadn't discovered the spies around Zhang Guangsi in time, we would have lost, and the martyrs would have died in vain.Moreover, Yue Gong and Sha Luoben had an old friendship, so he was willing to surrender, avoiding greater costs and casualties for the court.No bloodshed is the real victory.

Yingluo asked in surprise: What old friendship?Fu Hengdao: Yue Gong's ancestral home is Chengdu. In the 61st year of Kangxi, Sha Luoben led the soldiers of his clan to fight with Yue Zhongqi.Another thing is Yue Zhongqi mediates the civil strife among the tribes of Zagu, Jinchuan, Meitong, Wori, and Longbao, and resolves it impartially, and transfers their lost land cottages back to them.Therefore, the Jinchuan Tibetans have great respect for Yue Zhongqi and regard him as a "benefactor".Because of fear, Sha Luoben sent a letter requesting to stop the army and return to the court.I discussed with Yue Gong and proposed to cross the river to Lewuwei personally to find out the truth of Sha Luoben and prevent him from falsely surrendering.And bringing more people here will arouse Sha Luoben's suspicion, which is not conducive to surrender, so we only took the thirteen entourages and broke into the tiger wolf's lair.

That day when we went to Tusi's official village, Sha Luoben was overjoyed to see Yue Gong, knelt down on the ground, and kowtowed to plead guilty.Then he personally led the way for us, greeted us respectfully into his fort, invited Yue Gong and me to be the chief, waited on the left and right, and offered milk tea.According to the Tibetan custom, Yue Gong and I respected the heaven and the earth and respected the master, and then drank it all in one gulp, and then asked for another bowl, and drank it all in one go.When Sha Luoben saw that we looked up to them so much, they were all so touched that they couldn't even kneel down.Sha Luoben invited us to stay at the Fortress of Weiwei in Leu that night to reminisce about the past.After discussing with Yue Gong, I agreed.Lei Wuwei slaughtered cattle and sheep to entertain us.After the banquet that night, we took off our clothes and slept soundly, pretending to be completely defenseless, which won the admiration of Sha Luoben and others.On the second day, Sha Luoben, Langka and all the chieftains followed us across the river to Daying. I taught him how to bind himself as a father and son, and formally held the surrender ceremony.

Yingluo was very moved when she heard this, and said, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get a tiger cub, Yue Gong is really brave!"If people sitting in high positions don't know clearly and wrong Zhongliang, it will be the real loss of the world!

Fu Heng said:

Things in court are not that simple.Nian Gengyao made great military achievements, and the first emperor loved Nian's noble concubine even more, and he was sentenced to death for a serious crime.Yue Gong is not bad, the Ministry of War decided to punish him at that time, but was changed to be a prisoner by the first emperor, but he was put in prison and fined with money, otherwise he would not have made important contributions in the Jinchuan Battle.I heard from Yue Gong that after he was released and demoted to a common man, he lived in Jielu by the Huanhua River in Baihuatan on the outskirts of Chengdu, and named it "Jiangyuan".On weekdays, he is dressed in common clothes and wooden shoes, with simple tea and light meals; he gets up early in the morning, fights a few times in the Aixian Pavilion, dances a few sets of swords, and then leads his beloved horse for a stroll along the Huanhua River; after dinner, feeds chickens and ducks Poultry, or walk out of the ginger garden, stroll on the field ridges in the countryside, or gather old farmers under the trees to chat about mulberry and hemp.When he comes to light the lamp at night, he sits on a few desks, or writes pastoral poems with a brush; or reads the Shurangama Sutra at night with a candle, so happy.Such days away from the court are the true years of tranquility.

He was recalled by the emperor because of the Battle of Jinchuan, and then Juermot in Tibet was in chaos. He was ordered to leave Kangding again, and together with the Governor Tse Leng, he captured Rob Zang Tashi, the father of the Huangjiao Dharma King, quelled the rebellion, and avenged his second brother.In the 19th year of Qianlong, he quelled the Dabashan Rebellion in Sichuan for the emperor, but died of illness on the way home after winning.

After hearing this, Yingluo sighed and said: No wonder the young master is always cautious.You are right, if the father-in-law has been living in his hometown for a long time, he may live a long life.The official career is dangerous, and it is reasonable to stay away from the court.It's a pity that the young master can't do it either, and the emperor can't let us go.Fu Heng smiled and said: But at least we don't have to worry too much, Your Majesty, he is still different from the late emperor.In fact, as long as you are safe, I am relieved, the emperor will not let you have any accidents, we must also be careful.

Yingluo knew that he was talking about the assassination of Zhengjue Temple. King Huang Jiaofa later said that he would have killed her if he knew that day. Fu Heng was often afraid, saying that Yingluo was actually involved in these things because of the emperor and him.So he nodded and said, "Master, now that we live in this five-story watchtower, I understand how difficult this watchtower is to conquer, even the windows are so small."You said that the watchtowers are only made of stone, wood, mud, sand and water. They were built by their professional masons. They did not hang wires or draw pictures. They were built entirely by experience, but they were so indestructible. It is unbelievable!

The author has something to say:

[Jinchuan] County is located in the southwestern part of the Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture on the northwestern Sichuan plateau, on the eastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, on the upper reaches of the Dadu River, with an altitude between 1950 and 5000 meters.Local Tibetans in Malkang County speak Situ dialect (a dialect of Jiarong language).It is mainly inhabited by the Jiarong Tibetans, mixed with the Qiangs.Jiarong is the abbreviation of "Jiaermo Charong Warong", which means the residents who live in the mild-climate valley area around Mount Jiamo Meduo.The main peak of Balang Mountain is 5040 meters above sea level, and the pass that the Qing army crossed was 4523 meters above sea level.The garrison station in the middle of the mountain set in the novel is also above 3000 meters above sea level, otherwise it would be impossible to see the beautiful scenery.

[Yue Zhongqi] The descendant of Yue Fei, a famous general in the Qing Dynasty, his achievements and encounters in history are as shown in the article.Historically, he was the only one who entered Jinchuan Guanzhai to persuade Sha Luoben to surrender. He and Sha Luoben had old friends. Sarah Ben.At that time, Yue Gong's strategy of attacking from the north to the south and directly attacking the backbone was adopted by Fu Heng. His troops went south from Maerkang via Dangba, and Fu Heng's army went north from Menuo via Kasa and Garya, and entered Le with 13 horses. Wuwei Camp persuaded Sha Luoben, chieftain of Dajinchuan, and his son to surrender.In the 15th year of Qianlong (1750), Namzhal rebelled in Zhuermot, Tibet, that is, the time Fu Qing was martyred. Yue Zhongqi, then 64 years old, was ordered to send troops to Kangding, and together with Governor Celeng, successfully put down the rebellion.He died of illness in the 19th year of Qianlong. Emperor Qianlong bestowed the posthumous title of Xiangqin, and praised him as "a giant of military officials in the three dynasties".

[Fu Heng's Achievements in the Battle of Jinchuan] Many details are also written in the novel.Just add the following -

Qianlong praised: "This time when the soldiers marched into Jinchuan, all the matters such as urging the officers and soldiers and inspecting the horses in the post station, all the imperial envoys" "It is all because of Fu Henggong, a scholar of economics and strategy, who is loyal to the country and works hard. Running at the speed of the stars and properly dispatching them will be of great benefit to the army.” "Today Fu Hengfu, a scholar of economics and strategy, went to the barracks and took two years of bandits quietly, like olives and pigs.And ordered to give peacock feathers with eyes before worship.

The Battle of Dajinchuan ended with the victory of the Qing army.The role played by the coach Fu Heng during this period was not at all focused on attacking the fortresses and annihilating the enemy to win the victory.Dajinchuan was easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Qing government invested heavily, but had little effect. They had no choice but to withdraw their troops to end the situation. Unexpectedly, under the leadership of Fu Heng, "it was not seventy years old, and the soldiers were bloodless", and they reaped unexpected results.He treats Tibetans with kindness and prestige equally. When Tibetans rebel, they are deterred with military prestige, and when they obey, they are subdued with kindness and faith. This makes the leaders of Dajinchuan, Sha Luoben, Langka and others, feel awe, present a happy knot, and swear by the scriptures, Jinchuan chieftain "" Refresh your mind, never let your arrows down."

Fu Hengzhong, a man of integrity and hardworking, has become a model for officers and soldiers to emulate. Qianlong praised him: "Not only are the generals impressed by everyone, but all the internal and external ministers and workers are not pleased or admired." Fu Hengzhi sees Gao Yuan , Careful handling of affairs, all affairs of the military camp are clean, Qianlong praised him: "It is really beyond the ranks", "I have been working with me for several years, and I know that he is smart and sophisticated. I didn't expect to be here at first. That is, I planned it myself. I'm afraid it's not yet a week."Fu Heng heard the facts and handled it impartially, which enabled Qianlong to gain insight into the military situation thousands of miles away, and provided a detailed and accurate basis for decision-making. Qianlong praised him: "The meritorious service in the country is great." A first-class loyal and brave man, and bestowed with honors such as bestowing houses and building ancestral halls.
