Life of the characters

Early career

Sun Shiyi was a Jinshi in the 26th year of Qianlong reign (1761). As a county magistrate, he returned to his class and waited for the appointment. In 1762, Emperor Qianlong went on a tour to the South and called sun Shiyi to take an examination. He was awarded the title of secretary of the cabinet and served as a military officer in Zhangjing. Soon he moved to serve as an official.

In the 34th year of Qianlong (1769), Fu HENGDU, a bachelor, took charge of the Zhangzuo in Myanmar. After the war, sun Shiyi was awarded the title of doctor of the Ministry of household affairs and promoted to Shaoqing of Dali temple. He was a political envoy of Guangxi. Soon he was promoted to governor of Yunnan. In the 45th year of Qianlong (1780), Li Shiyao, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, was dismissed because of corruption. Sun Shiyi was involved because he did not impeach Li Shiyao in advance, so he was dismissed. He was sent to Yili to copy his family property and became penniless. After that, Emperor Qianlong praised him for his incorruptness and ordered him to compile Sikuquanshu, which was awarded as the editor of Hanlin Academy. After the completion of Sikuquanshu, sun Shiyi was promoted to Shaoqing of Taichang temple.

After that, sun Shiyi returned to Shandong as a political envoy and was promoted to governor of Guangxi, and soon moved to Guangdong. When he first arrived in Guangdong, sun Shiyi went to Shangshu and said, "Guangdong is a province with crisscross oceans, so it's easy to hide bandits. The only way to be a good local official is to keep oneself clean, strictly restrain the subordinates, and dare not follow the rules and conceal the ornaments. " Emperor Qianlong ordered him to follow the style of Li Hu, governor of Guangdong Province. Li Hu was appreciated by his superiors for his vigorous and resolute behavior.

Governor of Guangdong and Guangdong

Soon sun Shiyi acted as governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. Fu kang'an, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, proposed military training to the Qing government, and Emperor Qianlong ordered Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Guangdong, Guangdong and Fujian provinces to follow suit. Sun Shiyi invited 28532 sailors and Marines from Guangdong and 11296 soldiers from Guangxi to train them. They were trained with excellent personnel and skilled skills. They were ordered to supervise, pacify, promote and supervise all localities. They also made strict regulations to get rid of years of accumulated learning. Emperor Qianlong issued an edict saying, "these things can be carried out slowly, but they must be done well." Soon he returned to the office of governor.

There are many unpaid taxes in Guangdong, some of which are reported to the higher authorities, some of which are paid with their own private property, but most of the local people refuse to pay taxes. After sun Shiyi made a detailed inventory, he sent officials to the counties and prefectures with the most tax arrears to conduct an inventory according to the local accounts. The officials who pay in advance with their private property shall be compensated with the money obtained from the inventory. Emperor Qianlong praised his talent. Jiaotang is a place where thieves gather. They resist officers and soldiers and hurt officials. Sun Shiyi captured the leader of the rebel army, killed him and toured the local area. Emperor Qianlong once again praised him for his meritorious service and gave him Hualing. Fulehun, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, connived at his servant's corruption and bribery. After the incident was solved, sun Shiyi dealt with it according to law, and fulehun was involved and dismissed. Emperor Qianlong conferred sun Shiyi as governor of Guangdong and Guangxi because he was upright. Fulehun Shangshu discussed the administration of Guangdong Province, and requested to increase the number of ships, collect taxes and silver on a quarterly basis, and restore 39 commercial ports. After sun Shiyi took office, Shangshu said: "to increase the number of local ships, we should abolish the disadvantages of seals and formulate long-term rules to meet the needs of both old and new ships; to collect taxes and silver quarterly, we should restore the previous practice and play a role at the end of the year; the carriers of the 39 ports were dismissed because of tax arrears, and the four ports of zhongqianshan, Nankang, Shangyou and Yingde should first restore and check the tax arrears We should start from the beginning. " His proposals were carried out with the approval of the court.

In 1787, Lin shuangwen launched an uprising in Taiwan, and sun Shiyi personally went to Chaozhou to be on guard. After the army set out, sun Shiyi sent troops to help suppress, and immediately dealt with cattle and horse feed and equipment. The Qing government granted him the title of crown prince and Taibao, double eyes Hualing and first-class light truck Duwei.

Annam

In 1788, after Taiwan was pacified, the image of sun Shiyi was hung in Ziguangge. Li weiqi, king of Annan, was expelled by his son Ruan Hui. Under the protection of Ruan huisu and Li Jiong, his wife, mother, Prince and more than 200 members of his clan boarded a boat from Gaoping mansion and fled to douaoai, Longzhou, Taiping mansion, Guangxi, to seek help from the river. They risked their lives and waded into the water to the north bank. After sun Shiyi knew about it, he went to Longzhou to defend zhennanguan. Emperor Qianlong praised him for knowing the importance and the general situation. He ordered him to lead his troops from Guangxi to Annam, and sent wudajing, the governor of Yunnan, to advance from Mengzi to Annam.

Ruan Hui sent troops to shouchangjiang to resist the Qing army, and stationed in Jiaguan. After sun Shiyi led the army to arrive, he defeated the army sent by Ruan Hui. The Qing army successfully crossed shouchang River and then entered Shiqiu river. Ruan Hui was unprepared. On the surface, sun Shiyi ordered to build a floating bridge in the lower reaches of Shiqiu River, pretending to cross the river. In fact, he secretly sent General Zhang Chaolong to cross the river from the upper reaches to attack the rear of Annan's army, which was in chaos. Sun Shiyi led his troops across the river on a raft, and Annan's troops left in a panic. Sun Shiyi led his troops to attack, and many Annan soldiers fell into the river and drowned. Zhang Chun, a guerrilla of the Qing army, also defeated Ruan Hui's garrison in Jiaguan, and vice general Qingcheng and others ambushed Ruan Hui's Ministry. The Qing army entered the Fuliang river again, and the South Bank of the river was Licheng. Ruan Hui ordered all the warships to be collected and stopped on the south bank. Sun Shiyi's soldiers used rafts to cross the river. They ordered the Governor Xu Shiheng to lead 200 people to cross the river at night and captured dozens of boats owned by Ruan Hui. The Qing army crossed the river in turn. At dawn, more than 2000 Qing troops crossed the river. Ruan Hui's army fled in a hurry by boat. Zhang Chun led the army to catch up with him, burned his ship and annihilated the Annam army. Taking the opportunity to attack Licheng, Ruan Hui lost Fuchun. When Li Weiqi arrived in the army, sun Shiyi granted him the title of King Annan according to Emperor Qianlong's will. After hearing the news of the victory, the Qing court granted sun Shiyi the first-class Duke of Mou Yong and a ruby crown. Sun Shiyi's resignation was forbidden by the imperial court. He ordered sun Shiyi to be his head teacher, but Sun Shiyi hesitated repeatedly and did not start immediately.

In 1789, Ruan Hui led his troops to attack Licheng. Li Weiqi fled with his family again. Sun Shiyi has led his troops to the north, crossed the Shiqiu River and stationed in the north of the river. After Ruan Hui's army caught up with him, Li Hualong, the commander of the Qing army, fell into the water and died when he crossed the pontoon. The pontoon was cut off, and Xu Shiheng, the governor, and others were killed. When sun Shiyi's troops returned to zhennanguan, Li weiqi and his wife and children arrived and settled them in Nanning. Emperor Qianlong thought that sun Shiyi's disobeying the imperial edict was the cause of the rebellion, so he removed his title, withdrew his Ruby crown and double eyes plume, relieved the governor, and let Fu kang'an replace him. When Ruan Hui pursued the Qing army to Fuliang River, sun Shiyi wanted to cross the river again to fight against it. Xu Shiheng strongly admonished him that it would hurt the face of the ministers of the great power and let Qian Zong Xue Zhong withdraw by holding his reins. So he was impeached, and the Qing court ordered him to stay in zhennanguan. Soon Ruan Hui sent envoys to Korea to ask for the attachment. When Fu kang'an arrived, he and sun Shiyi severely denounced Ruan Hui's envoys. However, sun Shiyi also thought that Li Weiqi could not be supported, so it was better to canonize Ruan Hui as king of Annan, which Emperor Qianlong thought was feasible. Soon after, he called sun Shiyi back to the capital and gave him the title of minister of the Ministry of war, as Minister of military aircraft, and entered Zhinan study. In the winter of the same year, he was ordered to act as governor of Sichuan. After a year, he was relieved of his post. Soon after, Shulin, the governor of Liangjiang, was punished for using fake seals to collect tax money. The Qing government replaced him with sun Shiyi and asked him to work hard in Jiangnan.

Tibet after the expedition

In 1791, the Qing government issued an imperial edict to sun Shiyi as the Minister of the Ministry of official affairs and the assistant bachelor. When Gurkha invaded Tibet, the Qing government ordered sun Shiyi to act as Governor General of Sichuan and be responsible for supervising the payment of the army. Sun Shiyi came out of the archery furnace and was stationed in chamudo. When the Qing army entered houzang, he personally arrived in qianzang to supervise the transportation of wages and silver. Because of his ability in handling affairs, the Qing government once again rewarded him with double eyes.

In 1792, after Gurkha was pacified, sun Shiyi's image was once again hung in Ziguangge. Soon after, the Qing court granted him the title of the grand Bachelor of wenyuange and the Minister of rites. He also negotiated with fukang'an and Helin stationed in qianzang to deal with the aftermath. Fukang'an led Jinchuan Chieftain to Emperor Qianlong and ordered sun Shiyi to act as governor of Sichuan. Fukang'an soon moved to be governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and Helin replaced fukang'an. Emperor Qianlong ordered sun Shiyi to stay in Sichuan to manage the military supplies of the Qing army in the battle of Gurkha. Sun Shiyi kept Fu kang'an and He Lin in office, but Emperor Qianlong did not allow them.

Suppression of disorder

In 1795, the Miao bandits in Hunan were in chaos and entered Xiushan, Sichuan Province. Sun Shiyi and his soldiers stationed there to fight against the thieves. In the first year of Jiaqing (1796), the bandits of Bailian sect in Hubei Province entered Youyang, Sichuan Province. Sun Shiyi moved his army to Phoenix to suppress the thieves. He won many battles and was awarded the third grade male for his meritorious service.

After being defeated, the white lotus sect bandits were stationed in chayuanxi. It rained heavily for more than half a month. After exploring, they learned that the rebels were unprepared. So sun Shiyi sent troops to attack the rebels at night. The Qing army held a short weapon to fight with the rebels, and Zhang Chao, general manager of the Qing army, held a spear
