Father and son immigrated to Xinjiang

When Xinjiang was brought under the rule of Emperor Qianlong and the General's Office of Ili was established, Ili became the first exile place for Qing emperors to punish ministers and workers for their offenses or dereliction of duty, with the aim of severely punishing them? Guilty minister? Let it suffer. And Lin Zexu has also become one of them.

(A) Gouli country to life and death

When it comes to how Lin Zexu angered the emperor and was sent into exile, he had to mention a book, that is, the Chart. This book is adapted from Lin Zexu's unfinished Annals of Four Continents, which was finally completed in Wei Yuan after 1 1 year. What is its core idea? Control foreigners like foreigners? The political systems and economic models of various countries are systematically and thoroughly expounded. The preface of this book was written by the leading figures of the Westernization Movement. Minister ZTE? Zuo Tang Zong. This book was left out in the cold after it was published, and not many copies were sold for several years. ?

However, when books arrived in Japan, they were immediately regarded by people of insight as a treasure trove of governing the country and keeping the country safe, forming a buying craze among the people. "Ocean Atlas" opened a door and window for the closed and backward island country, and lit a bright lamp. From this book, they saw a vibrant new world and the advanced ideas and cultures of western powers. A famous Japanese thinker, Yokoi Konan, said with emotion that Japan's modern thought of opening to the outside world first came from the support of Hai Guo Zhi.

As a result, the Japanese who grew up watching Atlas of the Sea 30 years later destroyed the Beiyang Navy of the Qing government in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, and then ceded land to pay reparations. Former Japanese Prime Minister Hirofumi Ito visited China with his head held high, and Qing officials humbly asked him how to make Qiang Bing a rich country. Ito Bowen bluntly said that the way to make Qiang Bing a rich country lies in Wei Yuan's book "Atlas of the Ocean". A word prospers the country, and a book prospers the country. The Qing dynasty abandoned it as a shoe, and the enemy regarded it as a standard, so the fate of the two countries was unexpectedly reversed.

It is precisely because the Qing army suffered defeat in the Opium War that Daoguang, with mediocre qualifications and timid tone, vented his anger on Lin Zexu. From resending to Yili, Xinjiang, is redemption effective? . Lin Zexu, 56, was exhausted and very ill when he went to Xi 'an. Fortunately, his wife and children accompanied him all the way, day and night, and rested for more than two months before he set foot on the road of exile again. ?

(2) Is it avoided because of misfortune?

After a long journey of nearly 10 months, Lin Zexu and his son finally arrived in Huiyuan City at 1842 12 10. Deng Tingzhen, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi who had been exiled to Yili in advance, had already met Lin Zexu outside Huiyuan City. When they met, they were holding hands, speechless and their eyes were full of tears.

After a short rest, Lin Zexu immediately went to the Ili General's Office to visit the Ili General Bu Yantai. Anyone who can be the chief executive of Xinjiang has won the trust and reliance of the emperor. Most of the people who were sent to exile in Yili were people that the court did not like and the emperor did not like. They are either different or different. General Ili wants to vent his anger on the emperor and strictly supervise him? A criminal? Or do you waste the staff and monitor their words and deeds, hungry and tired? There can be no pity and sympathy.

So, Lin Zexu went to visit Bu Yantai in fear and trembling, but he was treated with unexpected courtesy and warm hospitality. The next day, Bu Yantai sent someone to Lin Zexu to send rice noodles, cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks, and personally visited him. Give this? Body gas drops? Abandoned by the court? Chasing the minister? With a lot of care in life, Lin Zexu is deeply gratified. In his letter to his wife, he praised Bu Yantai? Brilliant, personable and well-trained in business? .

Can be said to be Lin Zexu? If you are selfish, the country will live or die. Why avoid it because of misfortune? Lin Zexu's noble feelings and courage to resist foreign aggression make him appreciated and treated by people of insight wherever he goes.
