author:Little Buddha says history

Friends who have watched the TV series "Qing Ping Le" must have noticed that the officials of the Northern Song Dynasty wrote to the emperor, writing about the lily zi (pronounced zhá zi), the 劄子 is an important official document that appeared at the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty, although many people have more or less read some history books, but they are not familiar with some professional terms in history, they think that all ministers who write to the emperor are called sonatas, do not know that the fold is the exclusive property of the Qing Dynasty. Before the recital came out, the ministers wrote to the emperor, which was generally called the recital, the inscription, the recital, and so on.

Qing Dynasty as an official, the first thing to learn to write the fold, when Zeng Guoquan was promoted to the inspector of Zhejiang, did not know how to write the fold, Zeng Guofan can be said to teach his brother to write by hand, after all, the fold is too much, the wording is very important, otherwise if you do not pay attention, you will either offend the emperor or offend your colleagues. When Hu Linyi was alive, he believed that in the entire imperial court at that time, there were only three people who wrote the best recitals: himself, Zeng Guofan and Zuo Zongtang. As everyone knows, Li Hongzhang came to the top and became a master of writing music in the late Qing Dynasty.

One day in 1853, Li Hongzhang helped his compatriot and the minister of works (equivalent to the deputy minister of the Ministry of Works) Lü Xianji to write a recital, stating the war suffered by Anhui and the suffering of the people, and the Xianfeng Emperor saw the recital and directly asked Lü Xianji to return to his hometown to organize a regiment to practice.

Lü Xianji did not understand the practice of the regiment at all, and suddenly the Erpin master could not do it, and he could not disobey the emperor's holy will, and he even wrote anything in the compromise and submitted it to the emperor, so he could only pack his bags and go to his hometown anhui to supervise the regiment to practice, "Lü Gongxianji, the attendant of the Ministry of Works, was ordered to practice in the regiment of the resident supervisor", and in the same year, Lü Xianji was martyred in Anhui. Li Hongzhang's letter indirectly killed the Erpin grand officer, was it not strong?

In fact, this is not much for Li Hongzhang, he has a huge impact on the fold, so that two generations of emperors weng and Gong father and brother died, the two fought for decades, and even finally indirectly led to the beiyang water division in the Battle of Jiawu Sea total annihilation.

The matter should start from the period when Zeng Guofan suppressed the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Li Hongzhang originally followed Lü Xianji back to his hometown to organize regimental training, and after Lü Xianji was martyred, Li Hongzhang became a student and aide of Zeng Guofan under the recommendation of his father.

In the Qing Dynasty, trusted staff would be entrusted with heavy responsibilities and help deal with very important things, such as writing music folds, settling accounts, etc. When Zuo Zongtang once served as a staff member for Zhang Liangji, Zhang Liangji entrusted all military and political materials to Zuo Zongtang. When Li Hongzhang was an aide to Zeng Guofan, he often helped to write the recital.

Anhui Inspector Weng Tongshu and Miao Peilin have an ambiguous relationship, Miao Peilin will surrender to the Qing army, one will surrender to the Taiping Army, Weng Tongshu will tolerate him, but the governor of Liangjiang, Zeng Guofan, is angry, so he let Li Hongzhang ghostwrite and sue Weng Tongshu, Li Hongzhang is also a no-no, in the middle of the compromise first hurt Chen Weng Tongshu's various bad deeds, and at the same time he took the initiative to intercede for Weng Tongshu, saying that "where the position of the subject is, it should be corrected, and he does not dare to because Weng Tongshu's door is at its peak, and he does not dare to be accommodating because of the peak of Weng Tongshu's door", which is undoubtedly to break the back road of Weng Tongshu. I hope that the emperor will not let Go of Weng Tongshu.

Soon, the emperor (at that time the emperor was still young, and the real masters were the empress dowager and Prince Gong) made a decision, Weng Tongshu was sent to prison and sentenced to death, and his brother Weng Tonggong was the emperor's teacher, and finally gave him a suspended sentence, let him go home to serve his elderly father Weng Xincun, and then execute him after his father died. Unexpectedly, not long after he returned home, Weng Xincun died, after all, the eldest son was sentenced to death and gave him too much of a blow. Weng Tongshu was sentenced to exile in Xinjiang after his father's death, and finally died on the road.

In Weng Tonggong's view, the death of his father and brother was caused by Zeng Guofan, after all, he signed Zeng Guofan, and later learned that the real author was Li Hongzhang, so he hated Li Hongzhang, and it is said that he had reached a level where as long as Li Hongzhang supported him, and this hatred was later completely broken out during the Guangxu years.

In 1894, Japan sent troops to Korea, which was the suzerainty of korea by the Qing Dynasty and had the obligation to ensure that Korea was not invaded by other countries, so the Sino-Japanese war broke out.

As the guangxu emperor's teacher and military minister, Weng Tonggong was deeply trusted by the Guangxu Emperor, and when the Guangxu Emperor asked whether it was war or peace with Japan, Weng Tonggong took the lead and strongly demanded that the Guangxu Emperor fight a war. He insisted on waging war against Japan, but against not Japan, but Li Hongzhang. When China and Japan started a war, they inevitably used the water division, and the most powerful of the Great Qingshui Division at that time was the Beiyang Water Division controlled by Li Hongzhang, no matter whether the Beiyang Water Division was finally defeated or won, it would be consumed by the forces, and this would also affect Li Hongzhang's forces, especially the defeat, which would inevitably damage Li Hongzhang's career.

In the end, the Qing Dynasty was defeated in the Battle of Jiawu, and the Beiyang Marine Division was completely destroyed. For the destruction of the Beiyang Marine Division, few people have seen weng Tonggong play a role during this period, after all, he was in charge of the household department and firmly stuck the neck of the Beiyang Marine Division. Before participating in the Sino-Japanese Naval Battle, the Beiyang Marine Division had not replaced the old and dilapidated equipment for a long time.
