My father is Yongzheng, and I am Qianlong?

Chapter 440 The Qing Dynasty to Implement a Nationality System: Qianlong's New Reforms!

Outside the pass, in the Kuanchengzi area.

As autumn approaches, golden-red leaves begin to fall on the black earth, along with cabbage seeds.

When an autumn wind blows, rustling sounds can be heard in the woods.

And at this time.

Empress Zhe's brother, Fucha Ying, was searching for wild rabbits in a forest, intending to have a snack.

He had already inspected the nearby farmland and personally witnessed the farmers sowing cabbage seeds in the fields and also applying new fertilizer from the capital.

He believes that more Chinese cabbages will appear when the weather gets cold.

After all, he had already tried it before; the new fertilizer from the capital could indeed help with childbirth.

Although he only knew that these new fertilizers were made from phosphate rock or something similar, his experience told him that using more new fertilizers this year was definitely the right thing to do.

Because Fucha Ying was much older than Consort Zhe and was used to the free and easy life outside the Great Wall, he disliked the days of raising birds and listening to operas in the capital. So he stayed in his hometown outside the Great Wall and only served as a minor official. In his spare time, he would go hunting.

Not long after Fucha Ying entered the woods, she suddenly felt a sharp blow to her back, and after taking a few steps, she fell to the ground.

Before long, Fucha Ying heard many screams again.

That was the sound of his guards and servants falling to the ground one after another.

He immediately realized that someone had laid an ambush on him.

Before long, he saw about five or six people walking towards him.

“Wagev, he is the emperor’s brother-in-law.”

At this moment, someone Fucha Ying knew pointed at him and spoke to a tall, fair-skinned man beside him in Mongolian.

The burly, white man named Wagf sneered and stepped on Fucha Ying's face, saying in Mongolian, "Cut off his head and send it to the local Qing government officials so they can report this to your emperor."

Fucha Ying felt a sharp pain in his face, and the stench from the soles of the shoes filled his nostrils, making him not want to breathe.

The man he knew was a scribe in Xingjing Hall, and was a Mongol who had previously served under him. His name was Haraj.

But he never expected that Haraj would harm him.

"Use his head as a warning!"

“This is a solution I suddenly came up with. It’s better than killing him here. After all, you Qing people like to report good news and not bad news. If we don’t send his head through the streets, the local officials might pretend not to know.”

"That's what Wagf said."

Harji nodded: "Who delivered this head?"

“Send those two captured Koreans to the hospital. Once they are delivered, kill them secretly and bury them.”

Wagoff replied.

Harji nodded and said, "That's excellent. The government and the public will only suspect that it was done by Koreans who are dissatisfied with the maritime trade policy."

Vagev smiled and said, "Hurry up and have your men cut it. Once you've done that, I'll take you to Nerchensk. There's a better position waiting for you there, much better than being a clerk here."

then.

Harji waved his hand.

Fucha Ying immediately caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye that someone had drawn a knife and squatted down in front of him.

He shook his head violently, crying, "No, no, don't kill me!"

……

"No! No!"

Forbidden City.

Suddenly, Zhefei cried out in terror in her dream, then immediately sat up, opened her eyes, and looked around, her body covered in sweat.

"Little Master, what's wrong?"

At this moment, a palace maid came over.

Consort Zhe did not answer, but got out of bed and went to put on her shoes: "I need to get ready! I'm going to see my cousin, the Emperor."

"Please allow me to inform you, Your Highness, that it may not be convenient for Your Highness to see you at this time. Even if you wish to see Your Highness, according to custom, you must first inform the Empress Dowager."

The head maidservant serving Consort Zhe then came over and offered some advice.

Tears welled up in Consort Zhe's eyes, but she still forced a smile and said, "What the nanny says is true. Then I will go see Her Majesty the Empress first." She had been feeling uneasy ever since she heard from her son Yongmin that the court was discussing his Gahari Fucha family.

She was already in poor health, and after giving birth to a son and a daughter, she was prone to catching colds and fevers. It was only thanks to the new anti-inflammatory drugs that she did not die from a single cold. However, she has recently been suffering from headaches and weakness again, and tonight she had a nightmare, which made her increasingly restless.

Jiuzhou Qingyan Hall.

Hongli stared at the box on the wooden table before him, his face ashen: "Is this really Fucha Ying's head?"

"This servant is not sure either. This is what the Tangma sent to the capital by the Deputy Commander of the Three Surnames said. Does Your Majesty wish to have someone from Consort Zhe's family in the capital verify this?"

Gan Guobi, the Manchu commander of the Plain Yellow Banner, knelt before Hongli and answered cautiously.

"Of course we need to identify them!"

Hongli replied sternly.

Then, Hongli got up, put his hands behind his back, and paced back and forth in the main room, saying, "You personally deliver it to Fucha Wengguotu's house and see his reaction."

"Whoo!"

After Gan Guobi left, Hongli grinned.

He was somewhat at a loss as to how to face his gentle and lovely cousin.

After all, she gave birth to two children for him, but the new policies he wanted to implement ended up threatening her clan with extermination, and her elder brother in her hometown was also beheaded first.

However, this can be considered a slap in the face to the emperor.

Even though Fucha Ying was born into a bondservant family, he is still just a low-level bureaucrat who is unwilling to advance, but he is still considered a relative of Fucha Ying.

Because his aunt, the Empress Dowager Xi, was the emperor's biological mother.

Even though his younger sister, Fucha Yuyan, was only a concubine, she was only referred to as the emperor's brother-in-law in private.

Therefore, the fact that these people beheaded Fucha Ying in broad daylight in his hometown outside the Great Wall shows both the emperor's weak control over his hometown and the fact that there were many people in the diverse ethnic groups outside the Great Wall who did not take him, the emperor, seriously.

I'm afraid these people are still colluding with foreign barbarians.

According to Hongli, for example, the Evenki chieftain Gentemur tribe preferred to submit to the Russian Kingdom and become enemies of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, since the Kangxi era, they have been harassing the people within the Qing Dynasty's borders.

In short, not all locals were convinced by the Qing Dynasty.

There were even instances where members of the Eight Banners outside the Great Wall, who themselves deeply resented the Qing Dynasty.

The reason is simple: the Qing Dynasty's conscription was too ruthless, and at the same time, in order to maintain a strong source of soldiers, it was too strict in its control over the various ethnic groups outside the Great Wall.

Except for the Han people living outside the Great Wall, they were not allowed to farm or learn advanced technology. They could only obtain wealth and status by serving in the military. In peacetime, they could only hunt in the deep mountains and forests and fish in the icy and snowy lands. They were also not allowed to plunder.

In short, this makes it seem as if the Qing Dynasty was established by the Han people.

Of course, this was not because the Qing emperors truly preferred to treat Han people as human beings. It was mainly because they regarded the wealth produced by the Han people as their own private property, which is why they forbade nomadic and hunting peoples outside the Great Wall from plundering.

This is like a shepherd not wanting his flock to be robbed.

The majority of industries outside the Great Wall happened to belong to the emperor and the Eight Banners nobles, which is why this was the case.

"Summon all the ministers of the Grand Council to bring Xu Ben here as well. I will not allow his resignation!"

Hongli suddenly spoke.

"If he continues to fall ill, I will exterminate his entire family!"

Then, Hongli gave a stern rebuke.

He needs to resolve these conflicts outside the Great Wall.

We must ensure that all ethnic groups outside the Great Wall continue to rely on military service to improve their lives, while also raising the level of local security management, that is, strengthening the ability to control the situation.

He and his Grand Councilors will have to put in a lot of effort.

Xu Ben naturally couldn't stay out of it.

Upon hearing the emperor's edict, Xu Ben trembled with fear and had no choice but to enter the garden, his head still burning with fever.

In an effort to make himself genuinely ill, he has been deliberately catching colds and consuming foods he cannot digest.

But he didn't expect the emperor to be so determined and have no intention of giving up, so he had no choice but to obediently follow the emperor's wishes.

"I have decided to implement a nationality policy and an identity verification policy, as well as to compile a system for the management of foreign nationals entering the country. This will be implemented first in Fengtian, Jilin, and Heilongjiang outside the Great Wall. Only those who are recognized as Chinese citizens can have Chinese nationality and Chinese identity."

“Even if the person does not travel far, anyone traveling by car or above, regardless of gender, should have a ticket to prove their identity.”
