lied to Kangxi

Chapter 551 The Arrogant Nian Gengyao
This time when he left Beijing for Xi'an, Yuzhu had already served as the chief official of the frontier twice.

According to the unwritten promotion rules, after two terms of confinement, Yuzhu only needs to serve as the Minister of the Six Departments once more, and he can be qualified as an "extra bachelor" or "associate bachelor".

The associate bachelor, not the associate bachelor.Co-organizing a bachelor's degree was a title only in the Qianlong Dynasty.

On top of the extra bachelors and associate bachelors, there is Dongge University Bachelor.

In fact, Dongge Grand Bachelor is an entry-level Grand Master, that is, the younger brother of many Grand Masters.

This time when he went to Xi'an, the old emperor didn't let Yuzhu take away all the new army, but only allowed him to take half of it.

Originally, the old emperor thought that Yu Zhu would come to pester him.Unexpectedly, Yuzhu did come to him, but what he was talking about was about the firearms camp.

After some bargaining, Yuzhu took away the three thousand new troops and the officers and soldiers of the three thousand firearms battalion contentedly.

The old emperor's firearms battalion had a total of 2000 people and more than [-] artillery pieces.

Today, a quarter of the firearms battalion has been taken to the west by Yuzhu, which shows the old emperor's fear of the Junggar Khanate.

Last time, when Yuzhu went to Xining to serve, he already had the experience of marching, this time he still led the troops along the old road.

The nine bends of the Yellow River are only for profit.

Yuzhu led troops, went out of the Great Wall to Baode Prefecture in Shanxi, and then the whole army boarded a ship and went south along the Yellow River to Sanhekou in Tongguan.Then go against Sanhekou and go west to Xi'an Mansion.

It is common sense that the governor is in charge of military affairs and the governor is in charge of civil affairs.

However, in addition to the Green Battalion soldiers directly under Fubiao, Yuzhu is also the acting general of Xi'an. He is in charge of more than 8000 garrisoned Eight Banners soldiers and 4000 Eight Banners soldiers transferred from the capital, with a total strength of more than [-] people.

The 4000 people are not green battalion soldiers, but serious elites of the Eight Banners.

Common sense tells us that the frontier army is the most effective force, and the Qing Dynasty was no exception.

Due to the huge threat of the Junggar Khanate, the Eight Banners soldiers stationed in Xi'an must be the most effective elite force in the entire Qing Dynasty.

On the day Yuzhu arrived in Xi'an, Etuo, the newly appointed Shaanxi chief envoy, led all the civil and military officials in the city, and went [-] miles away to pick up the official pavilion, waiting for Yuzhu.

On the other side of the forehead, there are four Eight Banners officials under General Xi'an, including Vice Dutong, Xieling and Zuoling.

The system of the Qing Dynasty is actually quite particular.

Logically speaking, Yuzhu is the highest military and political officer in Shaanxi.However, Nian Gengyao, governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, can also intervene in Shaanxi's government affairs.

This creates a situation where they are tied to each other.

When gods fight, it is always the kid who suffers.

The officials in Shaanxi Province are all in a situation of one servant and two masters. They have to listen to Yuzhu's greetings, but they dare not disobey Nian Gengyao's orders. It's such a headache!

Officials in Shaanxi still see Yuzhu's No. [-] official title plate first.

After the majestic guard of honor, Yuzhu's official sedan chair appeared in front of everyone.

Just as Yuzhu got out of the official sedan chair, Tayong, the deputy governor of the left wing, quickly led his subordinates to greet him.

"Tayong Tayong, deputy commander of the left wing of the Eight Banners garrison in Xi'an, please rest assured, Master Zhu!"

Even though Tayong was the deputy capital commander of the second rank, Zhaqian respectfully greeted him.

If it's in the capital, Tayon only needs to touch shoulders and arms.However, this is in Xi'an, where troops may advance westward at any time.

As we all know, after the war, if the general wants to find an excuse to kill the deputy capital commander, it can be said to be as easy as pie!

Taiyong is also an old bureaucrat, and he has long known how powerful Yuzhu is.Since you can't afford to be offended, just be honest.

Hey, it's not that powerful, how could it be possible to intervene in the government and army for two terms?
Yuzhu touched Tayong's arms very politely, and did not look down on Tayong just because he was the top leader of the general's mansion.

During the ceremony, according to Tayon, under the Xi'an General's Mansion, there are four deputy governors, 96 co-leaders, and [-] assistant leaders.

After saluting with the bannermen and officials, it was the forehead rest's turn to step forward.

Although Er Tuo was a bannerman, he served as the chief envoy of Shaanxi Province, so he was naturally inferior to the bannerman officials in the General's Mansion.

"Humble post, I pay my respects to Yu Gongbao."

In order to address the question of Yuzhu, Ertuo devoted most of the night to researching it with the master.

Yuzhu is not only the general of Xi'an, but also the governor of Shaanxi, the prince Shaobao, and the title of Fuguo Duke.

According to the practice in the officialdom, as long as the official position has enough weight and real power, try not to mention the title.

Just mentioning the title, it is easy to think of the four words of eating and waiting to die, which is too unlucky!

Ertuo took the lead, and the officials in Shaanxi were all relieved.

Calling with the forehead, even if the call is wrong, the forehead is to blame, and it has nothing to do with everyone.

Yuzhu doesn't have that much official air.He understood very well in his heart that the question of address in the officialdom was just to respect his position, not him as a person.

The governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi and the governor of Shaanxi are stationed in the same city. Among them, the governor's office is at the gate of the north courtyard, and the governor's office is at the gate of the south courtyard.

In addition, the Xi'an General's Mansion is located in the city.

After [-], the entire city of Xi'an was captured by the uprising Shaanxi New Army.The strange thing is that from the general Wen Rui to the ordinary bannermen, there has been no news since then.

As usual, when the governor takes office, he enters the city through the north gate, which is Anyuan Gate.The governor entered the city from the south gate, that is, Yongning gate, in order to express the meaning of supervising the enemy.

The enemy's body, not the enemy's body, refers to the fact that the governor and the governor do not belong to each other, and their status is roughly equal.

Accompanied by Ertuo, Yuzhu got up the sedan chair and went to the Governor's Yamen, Ta Yong, the deputy governor of the left wing, secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

One person holds two important positions. Since the Kingdom, there has been no other person except Yuzhu.

Anyway, whether Yuzhu wants to live in Mancheng or the Governor's Yamen, it's not Tayong's business.

Echuan, the deputy commander of the right wing, saw that Tayong was looking in the direction of the South Gate of Xi'an, and he also sighed secretly. From then on, it must be a troubled time.

Because, when General Yuzhu of Xi'an arrived, Nian Gengyao, governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, dared to put on a show and not come to greet him in person. Isn't this too arrogant?

If Yuzhu was only the governor of Shaanxi, Nian Gengyao could accept it or not, no matter how he decided, it would not be considered rude.

However, Yuzhu is a serious acting general of Xi'an, higher than the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi.

However, no matter how powerful Nian Gengyao was, he couldn't reach all over the city.

Yuzhu deliberately chose not to live in Mancheng, but went to the Governor's Yamen in Shaanxi.That's because the Eight Banners soldiers stationed in the garrison naturally couldn't convince Nian Gengyao.

In history, Nian Gengyao actually relied on the support of the fourth brother to carry out bloody terror in the army in the northwest, which barely suppressed the arrogant soldiers of the Eight Banners.

When the fourth child wanted to deal with Nian Gengyao, his Eight Banners soldiers sold him out without hesitation.

As for Yuzhu, no matter how you say it, he is also a great noble under Manchurian Xianghuang banner.

Under the Eight Banners system, only banner nationality is recognized but not people.In other words, whether you are a native Manchurian or a new Manchurian who carries the flag, you are all one family.

Nian Gengyao's Han army had a white flag, which was different. The Nian family used to be slaves of the Han people who were taken captive.

Despise chains, everywhere.

Shaanxi Governor's Yamen is located about one mile north of the Drum Tower on West Street, where the former Xi'an Municipal Government is now the seat of the Lianhu District Government.

Yuzhu stayed in Xi'an for a while, so he naturally knew this old allusion.

So, after entering the door, Yuzhu walked around, comparing with great interest, what is the difference between ancient and modern?
Coincidentally, the Sichuan-Shaanxi Governor's Mansion where Nian Gengyao was stationed happened to be the seat of Beilin District Government today.

After entering the inner courtyard, Cao Yi, who accompanied Yuzhu to Xi'an, greeted him with a smile.

Yuzhu knew in his heart that the old emperor deliberately asked Cao Yi to accompany him to Xi'an, not to monitor him, but to torment him.

Based on the old emperor's understanding of Yuzhu's abilities, it was obvious that Cao Yi could not monitor Yuzhu.

However, the existence of Cao Yi will inevitably remind Yuzhu of Fu Peng's big trick, and that his wives, concubines and children are all hostages in the capital.

This person, only when he has something important will he be used as a handle.

After Mrs. Sun and Cao Yin both passed away, Cao Yong took over Jiangning Weaving as his son inherited his father's business, so Cao Yi had nothing to worry about.

Under Cao Yi's service, Yu Zhu had just changed into casual clothes, and just sat down and drank half a cup of tea, when Wu Jiang reported that Shaanxi Chief Envoy Ertuo asked to see him.

As soon as Yuzhu heard this, he casually said with a smile: "It must be a young worker, and a demon moth has appeared again."

Cao Yi was so moistened by the jade pillar along the way, he felt so beautiful.

She couldn't help giggling, and said, "Master, how did you know that it was the young man who made the move?" She deliberately made the man happy with a joke.

Yuzhu glanced at Cao Yi, who was knowledgeable and interesting, and said with a smile: "The new official took office, and he ignored the official rules for half a month, and couldn't even take care of his forehead. Obviously, he encountered something that he couldn't handle."

Sure enough, after Ertuo came in, he said with a bitter face: "I reported to Yu Gongbao that the annual system requires Shaanxi Grain Taiwan to deliver 30 shi of grain to Xining within half a month. Alas, how can this be possible?"

As soon as Yuzhu heard it, she understood that the forehead support was uneasy and well-intentioned.

The reason is actually obvious. Although Nian Gengyao is arrogant, he is indeed quite talented. It is impossible for him to give a task that Shaanxi Liangtai cannot complete.

Er Tuo deliberately came to Yu Zhu, obviously wanting Yu Zhu and Nian Gengyao to collide.Then, the big and small officials in Shaanxi can be fools on the wall and have their own way.

If Yuzhu is really a young and vigorous keyboard man, he may have fallen into the trap of the old Shaanxi bureaucrats.

Hehe, in the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty, the position was given by the old emperor, but the prestige needs to be established by Yuzhu himself.

Yuzhu didn't say a word all the time, and patiently listened to Ertuo's nagging. At the end, he said lightly: "Since it's an official under the annual system, brother Er, go to the south courtyard gate to ask him to explain. Is that the right thing to do?"

"This..." Er Tuo never expected that Yuzhu would be so slippery, and for a moment, he was stunned.

Yu Zhu picked up the teacup but didn't drink it, Wu Jiang then shouted loudly: "See off!"

Looking at Ertuo's dejected back, Yuzhu knew in his heart that the struggle between him and the young worker hadn't officially started yet.
