lied to Kangxi

Chapter 623
Allow Bai Jin to preach in the new army, hey, don't be ridiculous!

Yuzhu is very familiar with the old routines of European colonization of the world. First, he sent doctors and medicines, and then spread the gospel.

When the colonial army came to attack, these foreign missionaries would help lead the way, which was logical.

However, Bai Jin was no ordinary foreigner missionary.He and Zhang Cheng saved the life of the old emperor by offering quinine.

The old emperor allowed Bai Jin to preach, and Yuzhu publicly hardened it, which is indeed a bit unreasonable.

Yuzhu nodded and said, "The new army hasn't come back from the west, so why don't Lord Bai go to the firearms camp to spread the gospel?"

Bai Jin came to the Qing Dynasty a few years earlier than Yu Zhu was born, so he naturally knew the inside story of the Qing Dynasty like the back of his hand.

Since Yuzhu was so forthright, Bai Jin had nothing to say, so he bowed and said goodbye.

Three days later, the new army returned.

After raising food, grass, clothing and ammunition, Yuzhu played the role of the old emperor, and led the crusade army to set off officially.

The army boarded the temporary foreign merchant ship from Tianjin Wei, and sailed along the coastline to Xiangshan County in Guangzhou Prefecture.

The famous Pearl River is the Dongjiang River in Guangzhou, and its estuary is in Xiangshan County.

The Pearl River originally refers to a 96-kilometer waterway from Guangzhou to the mouth of the sea. It was named because it flows through the famous Haizhu Island. Later, it gradually became the general name of the Xijiang, Dongjiang, Beijiang and all rivers in the Pearl River Delta.

During the reign of Emperor Kangxi, Zhuhai, a well-known special zone city, was still a small fishing village in Xiangshan County.

Different from later generations, the entire Guangxi Province in the early Qing Dynasty was an inland province and did not rely on the sea at all.

The famous Beibu Gulf is under the jurisdiction of Lianzhou Prefecture, which is under the jurisdiction of Guangdong Province.

When Yuzhu uses troops, he especially likes to go by water or sea.

As we all know, the cost and speed of water transportation, as well as the convenience of logistics supplies, all kill land transportation in seconds.

When Qin Shihuang destroyed Nanyue, he also built the Lingqu first, and then sent troops to the south.

Of course, if Qin Shihuang knew that traveling westward from the Dongjiang River could reach Wumeng Mountain in Yunnan, he would never build Lingqu again.

The requisitioned dozens of foreign merchant ships set sail and sailed straight down the ocean at an extremely fast speed.

About a month later, Yuzhu arrived in Guangzhou.

After a short stay, after being greeted and sent there, Yuzhu led his army to travel against the Dongjiang River by boat, and it took more than a month before they successfully arrived at Yunnan Mansion, the provincial capital of Yunnan.

Yunnan Prefecture, which is today's Kunming City.

Jiang Chenxi, governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and Gan Guobi, governor of Yunnan, welcomed the arrival of Yuzhu at the Jieguan Pavilion [-] miles away from the east gate of Yunnan Mansion.

Jiang Chenxi's younger brother, Jiang Tingxi, is currently a cabinet bachelor, so Jiang Chenxi is quite aware of the power of Yuzhu.

As for Gan Guobi, it is more interesting.Because they belonged to the Zhenglan Banner Han Army, their Gan family was regarded as old servants of the old Tong family.

When it was almost noon, Yuzhu came.

It's still the old rules, the golden champion medal is still in the lead.

To put it bluntly, as long as the Qing Dynasty survives and Yuzhu survives, he is qualified to show off his status as the No. [-] scholar in the imperial examination for a lifetime.

Among the mighty guard of honor, the most eye-catching is the towering handsome flag.

Shuaiqi wrote a big letter in a large line, and the imperial order was to conquer the general of the South, Yu.

"Chen Jiang Chen Xi, respectfully invite Sheng An."

"Slave Gan Guobi, I respectfully invite Shengan."

"Saint Gong'an!"

"Humble duty to meet General Yu!"

"That's it!"

After some salutes, Jiang Chenxi and Gan Guobi welcomed the jade pillar into the reception pavilion that had been arranged long ago.

Needless to say, the red tape in the officialdom is very troublesome.

After all the formal things were over, Yuzhu officially entered Jiang Chenxi's Governor's Office, and used it as the general's office.

The Governor's Mansion of Yunnan and Guizhou, also known as the Duke Mu's Mansion in the Ming Dynasty, is adjacent to Haitiange Lane, Confucian Temple Street in the east and Shalang Lane in the west.

Yu Zhu dismounted in front of the Governor's Mansion, seeing the momentum, he couldn't help squinting his eyes, and looked carefully.

Governor-General of Yunnan and Guizhou's yamen has been repaired by Governor-General Ren. It is large in scale and has many doors.

The first gate and the second gate are composed of three wide gates in the middle, left and right.

There are several stone steps built under the plinth in front of the head gate, and a pair of mighty big stone lions are carved on both sides in front of the steps, colorfully colored, highlighting the majesty and awe.

Opposite the head gate is a screen wall, more than 3 meters high and nearly 20 meters wide.

A large unicorn is painted on the wall, which matches the pattern of the governor's official uniform.The head is facing a rising red sun, and the red sun is supposed to be the mighty emperor of the emperor. There are five tigers and six leopards under his tail, which means that he is in charge of five generals and six lieutenants.

In the middle of the flat dam on both sides of the stone steps, there are two large masts, each nearly 10 meters high.There is a wooden bucket on the mast, and a long flag is hung on the bucket, and a letter is written: "The Ministry of the Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou".

On the east and west sides, there is a large gate with a banner on the gate, marked with the word "Yuanmen".

Entering the Deyi Gate, there are the lobby, the second hall, the third hall and the fourth hall where the family members live.

Yuzhu walked into the governor's office slowly, and just sat down in the third hall when someone reported that Gan Guobi, the governor of Yunnan, was asking for an audience outside.

The head of the banner came to Yunnan, Gan Guobi, as the governor of Yunnan, didn't come to pay a visit in person, what did he want to do?
Yuzhu smiled slightly, and ordered to go on: "Please ask Gan to Fuyuan."

After Gan Guobi, who was dressed as a second-rank civil servant, came in, he respectfully saluted Qian and said cautiously: "Slave Gan Guobi, please be safe, master!"

"That's all." Seeing that Gan Guobi is very well-behaved and his manners are correct, Yuzhu didn't deliberately make things difficult for him.

There is no way, no matter how high the status of Gan Guobi is, no matter how high the official position is, when he sees the banner owner of his banner, not to mention kneeling and saluting, he must at least tie a thousand.

Otherwise, it is a violation of the rules and will be severely punished.

In essence, the Tartar regime was a mixture of half-slavery and half-feudalism.

Originally, the bannermen of the upper three banners were the servants of the Qing emperor.

Later, with the gradual expansion of imperial power, it evolved that all bannermen were slaves of the emperor.

After the old emperor had secured his throne, the Manchus who were eligible to call themselves slaves in front of him had to be at least rank three.

"Brother Gan, please take your seat." Yuzhu gave up his seat very politely.

Gan Guobi couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Yu Zhu calling him Brother Gan.

With the title of Big Brother Gan, Yuzhu looked at Lao Gan as a subordinate from the standpoint of a former cabinet scholar.

The relationship between superiors and subordinates is far simpler and easier to deal with than masters and slaves!

Gan Guobi peeked at Yu Zhu, feeling full of gratitude in his heart.

At least, the young and energetic Yuzhu didn't deliberately take advantage of his master-slave relationship to show his prestige with Gan Guobi.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if Yuzhu angrily denounced Gan Guobi as a dog slave in front of all the senior officials, Gan Guobi would not dare to fart.

Under the semi-slavery of the Bannermen, there are so many particularities.

Whoever dares to disobey the rules is tantamount to committing the wrath of the banner owners, just wait for the punishment from heaven!
