How bad was the defense of the palace during the Jiaqing period? People can easily enter the palace

Today, I ’ll show you how bad the palace defense was during the period. I hope it can help everyone.

In the eighth year of Jiaqing, in February, Jiaqing encountered an assassination incident outside the Royal Garden on his way back to the palace. There were more than a hundred people in the company, and only six people went to stop the murderer. The boss asked the guards on the spot: "Hundreds of onlookers, are they close relatives, are they not subject to the favor of the state?" As soon as this happened, Jiaqing also realized that the defense of the palace was lax, and the guards were not alone. Performing his duties, he asked to strengthen access control. However, one year later, the incident of an unrelated person entering the palace again made the emperor Jiaqing angry that after less than four months, someone broke into the palace again, and this time the person who broke into the palace also brought a weapon. ——Iron Gun.

It happened in February of Jiaqing ten years On the 20th, a people claiming to be Samimon rushed to the martyrs of Shenwumen with an iron gun. The Shenwumen generals and the guards ran straight to intercept when they saw this. The man said nothing and directly pointed at the iron gun in his hand. The guards stabbed. The two sides fought for a while in the martial arts of Shenwumen. In the end, Samivin lost to the guards, and the iron gun in his hand was taken away by the guard Tutab, and Samiwen was stabbed with a weapon in his hand. Skull, Samiwen fell in a pool of blood, killed on the spot, and four of the guards were cut: two guards were cut off on the cap of the guard officer, two guards, eighty-four in the guard school, and two were seriously injured in the forehead. The prisoner of Morgenb cut his finger and wounded. Four people who were counted as professional soldiers were chopped and wounded by a small common people. They are usually negligent in training and have poor ability.

As the guards responded in a timely manner this time, and did not let Samivin actually enter the palace, the emperor Jiaqing was still very satisfied. He was stabbed to death by the four people and stabbed Samivin ’s guard tower. The cloth rewarded them, gave them two promotions, and even Mian Zuo, who managed it here, asked for punishment, but Jia Qing did not hold it. In any case, the offender was killed by Mian Zuo's management. Moreover, after investigation, in Shenwu The guards on duty were either involved in assisting in the capture of the offenders or guarding the door. Those who did not evade duty or were passively idle, said that the guards on the day of Shenwumen had not been dealt with in any way.

However, criminals can enter the Shenwumen Area, without encountering any obstacles before, indicating that the battalion officers and soldiers on duty outside Shenwumen had faults, so these battalion soldiers and their superiors were punished accordingly.

Naturally, things can't stop there. Who is Samimi, and why should he break into the palace with a weapon? The investigation soon came out, and Fang Shunqiao and Gang were found on him. I went to the town on the second ticket, and according to the information on the ticket, I found Liu Shixing, Du Village, Jicheng County, Jizhou. According to records, Liu Shixing once had an iron gun in his home, and Liu Shixing himself took iron in early February. The gun disappeared after leaving the house. Breaking into the palace was a major crime. Liu Shixing must have been clear, so he deliberately used the false name "Samiwen", but his family members were still arrested. Liu Wenlian, Liu, and Liu Xian, the wife of the guilty convict, testified conclusively, and his ("Samiwen") is undoubtedly Liu Shixing.

Jiaqing's overall disposal of this incident It is quite satisfactory. From the punished people, it can be seen that they only guilty of the soldiers and officers of the battalion outside Shenwumen, and those in Tancheng County. Some people may ask, what is wrong with this county order? The county magistrate did not know about Liu Shixing's possession of such dangerous equipment as the iron gun. "The county magistrate Liu Yi's possession of the bird gun which was banned by law failed to get up early." Text source: interesting history
