In the 276-year history of the Qing Dynasty, a total of 33 people have served as Ili generals, which is enough to see the importance of this position, which is not something that ordinary people can do, plus Xinjiang was the largest area in all the jurisdictions of the entire Qing Dynasty, so the position of Ili general is even more cattle.
However, such an important position, such a prominent general of Ili, actually took the initiative to give Lin Zexu a wind and dust when Lin Zexu was demoted to Xinjiang, and also gave Lin Zexu wild boar meat and all kinds of delicious things, which has the meaning of "offering courtesy".
Buyantai sent wild boar meat to Lin Zexu
Buyan Tai is the son of Zhu'er Hang'a, both of them were born in the Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner of the Eight Classics of Zheng'er, in the Qing Dynasty, it can be said that the root is Miao Hong, relying on his father's years of groping and fighting, for Buyan Tai to accumulate a certain network in the imperial court, and when Buyan Tai ascended the throne, he stood on the shoulders of giants and finally became the general of Ili.
Although it is said that Buyantai became a general of Ili and had a lot to do with the connections accumulated by his father, it is not that Buyantai himself is a cynical second generation official, the real situation is completely different from what we imagined, Buyantai is not only not a second generation of officials who has achieved nothing, but his ability has surpassed his father.
Buyantai lived for 90 years, simply stayed in Xinjiang for 30 years, and his main achievements are as follows, the first is to maintain the territorial integrity of Xinjiang, when the rebellion of Zhang Ge and others seriously affected the territorial integrity of Xinjiang, it was Buyantai who expelled him; the second merit is to make great contributions to Xinjiang's reclamation and water conservancy cause, of course, when it comes to Buyantai's great contribution to Xinjiang's water conservancy, we have to mention Lin Zexu.
Buyantai became a general of Ili in the twentieth year of Daoguang, when Buyantai became a general of Ili, Lin Zexu was helping Daoguang to ban smoking, and the well-known humen tobacco sales were the best deeds that created the image of Lin Zexu's national hero, for Lin Zexu, his reputation was spread because of the sale of cigarettes in Humen, but his life, also because of the sale of cigarettes in Humen, was greatly affected, especially his career, which was seriously affected.
After Humen sold cigarettes, the British launched the Opium War against the Qing Dynasty because their interests were seriously affected, and after a long war, Daoguang found that he was not a rival of the British, so he could only sign some unfair treaties, and finally stopped the war, and at the same time regarded Lin Zexu as his own scapegoat, demoted him, and let Lin Zexu go to the remote Xinjiang region.
Twenty-two years after Daoguang, Lin Zexu had no choice but to go to Xinjiang, and when Lin Zexu was about to arrive in Xinjiang, the Ili general Bu Yantai heard the news that Lin Zexu was coming, and specially set up a banquet for Lin Zexu to wash the dust, without the slightest intention of neglecting, and the next day he personally brought people to visit Lin Zexu, sending Lin Zexu a lot of daily necessities, and many delicious things, in addition to wild boar meat, there were pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks, rice and the like, which can be described as everything.
Many people think that this is General Ili's "great dedication" to Lin Zexu, but in fact, this is not the case, at that time Lin Zexu has been demoted, and Ili General Buyan Tai is the highest local official, according to normal laws, it should be Lin Zexu to marry Buyan Tai, not Buyan Tai to Lin Zexu "dedicated", so what is the reason, Buyan Tai did not have any official shelf, repeatedly went to Lin Zexu to send things, and visited the door, the two talked very happily?
The reason why BuyanTai "offered hospitality" to Lin Zexu
In fact, the reason why Buyantai sent wild boar meat to Lin Zexu is still relatively simple, on the whole, it is that Lin Zexu's personality is admired enough, Lin Zexu's ability is trusted enough, and both of them have a common vision of seeking the welfare of the people and doing practical things, so there will be such a harmonious scene. I will analyze these three reasons in more detail below.
First of all, from the perspective of Buyantai's respect for Lin Zexu as a person, I said earlier that when Buyantai became the general of Ili, Lin Zexu was helping Daoguang to smoke smoking, and the sale of cigarettes at Humen made Lin Zexu famous, and Bu Yantai of course also heard about Lin Zexu's personality and wonderful deeds.
Buyantai is also a big figure with national dignity, so he is very supportive of Lin Zexu's approach, but no one thought that Lin Zexu, who made such a great contribution to the nation, was finally treated as a scapegoat by Daoguang, and Buyantai was very sad about Lin Zexu's suffering, he could not compete with the emperor, but he could use his own practical actions to express respect and support for Lin Zexu's heroic deeds.
For this reason, when Buyantai learned that Lin Zexu would come to Xinjiang, he had already made all preparations, and later sent wild boar meat to Lin Zexu, which was just a simple move in all of Buyantai's preparations, but this simple action was very important for Lin Zexu, who was at the trough of his life at that time.
Secondly, we will analyze from the aspect of Buyantai's trust in Lin Zexu's ability, Buyantai also trusted Lin Zexu's ability very much after understanding Lin Zexu's sales of cigarettes, so after coming to Xinjiang, Buyantai ran to the place where Lin Zexu lived for three days, ate and drank tea with Lin Zexu, played chess, and talked a lot about national affairs.
After the chat, Bu Yantai directly entrusted Lin Zexu to help him manage the water conservancy and manage the grain wages, which was a very important errand, especially in charge of the grain wages, but it was a fat difference, if Lin Zexu had any selfish intentions, he could get huge wealth from it, and Bu Yantai should understand what it meant that he gave this position to Lin Zexu to do.
From the perspective of Buyantai's unreserved work arrangement, his trust in Lin Zexu is absolutely unimaginable to us ordinary people, since Buyantai can trust Lin Zexu so much, send a little wild boar meat to Lin Zexu, improve the diet, there is nothing strange, after all, at that time, wild boar is not a protective animal, but also can eat wild boar meat, if it is placed now, of course, it is not allowed.
Finally, we will analyze from the perspective of Lin Zexu and Buyantai's life vision, we will find an important place, whether it is Lin ZexuHumen selling cigarettes, or Buyantai maintaining the territorial integrity of Xinjiang, or reclamation and water conservancy projects, in essence, it is for the sake of the people and for the sake of national development, in other words, the two have a common direction in terms of ideals, just as the so-called soldier dies for the confidant, two people with common ideals meet, it is a great joy, Buyantai do not say to send wild boar meat to Lin Zexu , is to send money directly, it is also normal.
It is thanks to the common ideals and beliefs of the two that Lin Zexu helped Buyantai to make many important achievements in the three years in Xinjiang, and Buyantai of course did not treat Lin Zexu badly, not only providing a good place to live and living environment for Lin Zexu, but also often writing to the Daoguang Emperor to praise Lin Zexu, hoping that the Daoguang Emperor would reactivate Lin Zexu as soon as possible.
It was after Buyantai repeatedly wrote letters praising Lin Zexu that Daoguang finally felt guilty about his larin Zexu's black pot, and finally restarted the reuse of Lin Zexu when Lin Zexu was in Xinjiang for three years, so that Lin Zexu could continue to work for the welfare of the people.
Under the influence of Lin Zexu, Zuo Zongtang became the national hero who later recovered Ili, and zuo Zongtang and Buyantai also had a close relationship, and all these things happened, seemingly accidentally, but in fact, there was an intricate relationship behind it, as if all this was already doomed in the dark!
epilogue
Between the Ili generals Buyantai and Lin Zexu, it can be said that the hero cherishes the hero, Buyantai is very sympathetic to Lin Zexu's depreciation, and Lin Zexu understands Buyantai's desire to build Xinjiang well, so when the two heroes meet, Buyantai can't suppress his excitement and gives Lin Zexu wild boar meat, and Lin Zexu is to help Buyantai build Xinjiang well and make a miracle!
