Chapter 156: Yonghuang's Heart Chapter 1: The First Battle of Jinchuan

Gao Xiyue pretended to be unhappy: "Your Majesty! Why do you say this to me? I am unhappy."

Hongli raised his hand and tapped her forehead: "I just like your innocence."

After lunch, Gao Xiyue took Yonghuang back home.

On the way, Yonghuang asked Gao Xiyue: "Empress Hui, do you think the Emperor will punish Empress Chun?"

Gao Xiyue smiled and said, "Even if he doesn't punish me, he must have a knot in his heart. From now on, if Yong Zhang makes a mistake or has other thoughts, your Royal Father will never let him go."

"Empress Hui, is this okay for us?" Gao Xiyue looked at Yonghuang. "Actually, I don't want this either, but you are a prince, you are all princes, but there is only one crown prince, the throne of the emperor. Your Majesty Chun wants Yongzhang to be the crown prince, the future emperor."

Yonghuang: "Then... do we have to fight to the death?"

"Just because you don't want to doesn't mean others don't want to."

Yonghuang pursed his lips. In his heart, he didn't want his brothers to fight and kill each other.

"You are still young and don't understand the intricacies of this. In fact, if you look at your Fifth Uncle, you will understand. It is good to be a leisurely prince and protect yourself."

"Well, Madam Hui, I actually think so too."

"Then you should get closer to your Fifth Uncle."

Everyone says that Hong Zhou is an absurd prince, but is he really like that in his nature?

Gao Xiyue felt that Hong Zhou was not as simple as he seemed, and the phrase "great wisdom appears foolish" was particularly appropriate to describe him.

The reason why he was loved by Hongli was that the series of absurd things he did made Hongli let down his guard against him and also preserved his own wealth and glory for the rest of his life.

In the Yangxin Palace, Hongli was looking at a secret letter from Jinchuan with a frown on his face.

In the early days of his reign, he still treated the Jiarong Tibetans with both kindness and severity, and emphasized the policy of winning people over with kindness and virtue.

This is obviously more wise and appropriate to the times, and Hongli's idea also highlights the local officials' management of the region.

However, with the changes in the strength of the chieftains in the Jiarong Tibetan area and the situation in the region, Hongli's governance policy also changed.

The previous policy focused on favors has shifted to one that focuses on power.

In the seventh year of Qianlong's reign, the chieftain of Dajinchuan, Selerben, died of illness.

In November of the following year, the Qing Dynasty appointed his younger brother Shaluoben (Selebenxi) to inherit the chieftain position.

Shortly after Sha Luoben took office, in order to control Xiaojinchuan, he married his niece Akou to the chieftain of Xiaojinchuan, Zewang.

Zewang is cowardly and controlled by his wife.

Akouze had an affair with Zewang's younger brother Tushe Liangerji.

In the tenth year of Qianlong's reign, Sha Luoben colluded with Liang Erji, attacked Xiaojinchuan, captured Zewang alive, and seized the seal of Xiaojinchuan. The Xiaojinchuan area was then managed by Liang Erji.

Later, Sha Luoben openly married his daughter to the chieftain of Bawang in order to control Bawang.

At this time, the imperial court had just finished using troops against Zhan Dui. Therefore, the Governor-General of Sichuan and Shaanxi, Qing Fu, and the Governor of Sichuan, Ji Shan, had no intention of sending troops to intervene in the conflicts and struggles between Dajinchuan and Xiaojinchuan. They only issued an edict in an attempt to calm the situation.

However, Dajinchuan's expansion ambitions remain.

In February and March of the 12th year of the Qianlong reign, Sha Luoben sent troops to attack Zhengdi Village under the jurisdiction of Gebushiza Tusi, and also sent troops to capture Rumi, Zhanggu and other places under the jurisdiction of Mingzheng Tusi. They were only four days away from Dajianlu and approached the southern gate to the interior. The garrison commander Li Jinting was unable to resist and retreated to Luli.

Sichuan Governor Ji Shan accused Dajinchuan of being a "clown" and while requesting imperial decree, he sent troops to suppress the rebellion. However, he was ambushed by the chieftain of Dajinchuan and failed.

The Governor-General of Sichuan and Shaanxi, Qing Fu, requested the method of "using the barbarians to govern the barbarians" and secretly ordered the chieftains of Xiaojinchuan, Gebushiza, Bawang and other areas adjacent to Dajinchuan to send troops to assist in the siege of Dajinchuan, but repeated attempts were ineffective.

Emperor Qianlong ordered Qingfu to go to Sichuan Province and station him in an important place, and ordered Jishan to go to the governor of the foreign land in person and take action according to the situation. Later, he issued two consecutive edicts, summoning Qingfu back to Beijing to handle cabinet affairs, and transferred Zhang Guangsi, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, to be appointed the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi.

Emperor Qianlong hoped to calm the situation in the Jinchuan area by sending a large army to the border, and hoped that Zhang Guangsi could use his methods and experience in governing the Miao area to solve the problems in the Jiarong Tibetan area.

However, the chieftain of Dajinchuan, Sha Luoben, continued to collude with his followers and besieged the Holzhang Valley. Qianzong Xiang Chaoxuan was killed in the battle. He also invaded Maoniu and shot the guerrilla Luo Yuchao.

Emperor Qianlong was finally enraged.

He ordered the governor and the governor-general to quickly send selected officers, soldiers and generals to lead the troops and suppress the rebellion as soon as possible.

At the same time, Zhang Guangsi was urged to go to Sichuan Province quickly to command the battle, and the first Jinchuan Campaign began.
