lied to Kangxi

Chapter 697

"Master Taiwan, come here!"

Following Niu Tai's loud chorus, Yuzhu appeared in the lobby of the Superintendent's Office with square steps.

Yuzhu boarded the wooden platform in the middle of the lobby, stood behind the Shuai case, and scanned the audience for a week.

"Fujian land admiral, humble post Hou Sheng, led the provincial green battalion infantry officer, and paid homage to Yuzhongtang."

"Admiral of the Fujian Navy, Shi Shibiao, who is a humble officer, leads the province's Luying Navy officer to pay a visit to Yuzhongtang."

The two top military officers of the Fujian Shuilulvying Camp both called Yuzhu Yuzhongtang instead of the usual Yushuai, apparently with the mentality of sycophancy.

According to the bad habits in the officialdom, because Yuzhu was a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, he was called Yuzhongtang in private, which showed respect.

However, in public, Hou Sheng and Shi Shibiao, respectfully called Yu Zhongtang, were somewhat out of character.

In the island of Taiwan, this bad habit in officialdom has also been followed.

For example, Qiu Yi has long since resigned from public office, and under normal circumstances, everyone still respectfully calls him: Committee Member Qiu.

All in all, the problem of appellation in officialdom is by no means a trivial matter.

At least, from the titles of Hou Sheng and Long Shaohe, Yuzhu can preliminarily judge that these two people are afraid of him.

No way, can the arm twist the thigh?

Who is Yuzhu?

The Fuguo Duke, the majestic patriarchal noble, was born in a great foreign relative with a yellow flag inlaid in Manchuria.

What's more, Yuzhu has almost done all the important positions around the old emperor.

Going against someone like Yuzhu, that would be like the birthday boy hanged himself, what a mess!
Yuzhu had just arrived at his post today, and it was just a matter of routine for him to meet the officers of the Green Camp in the lobby.

To put it bluntly, the main thing is to let the officers of the Green Battalion get to know him as a handsome man, so as not to be confronted by the blind eye.

Although Hou Sheng is a bannerman of the Han army, Yuzhu is not familiar with him.

On the contrary, it was Shi Shibiao's family background, which Yu Zhu knew quite well.

Shi Lang had eight sons in total, and Shi Shibiao was his sixth son.

Because of Shi Lang's unparalleled achievements in the platform, the old emperor did not treat him badly, and specially bestowed the hereditary title of Marquis of Jinghai.

Under normal circumstances, the imperial title should be inherited by the eldest son.

The problem is, because his elder brother Shi Zhaoke died early, Shi Lang adopted his eldest son Shi Shize to his dead brother as his heir.

Shi Lang's second son is a well-known upright official, Shi Shilun, the current Governor of Water Transport.

Now, the title of Marquis of Jinghai has been inherited by Shi Shifan, the youngest of the Shi family.

The old emperor trusted the Shi family quite a lot.

Four of Shi Lang's eight sons stayed in Fujian and held considerable military power, which can be seen from this.

Yuzhu waved his hands and said gently: "Forget it, sit down."

"Xie Zhongtang." After Hou Sheng and Shi Shibiao saluted again, they took their seats on the left and right.

Because Taiwan Island is isolated overseas, there have always been many troops stationed in Fujian.

The land admiral has four towns under his jurisdiction, and the navy admiral has five towns under his jurisdiction. There are as many as nine general officers alone, which can be said to be the best in the entire Qing Dynasty.

After the two admirals were seated, the commanders-in-chief stepped forward to pay homage in turn according to their rank.

"Penghu Town Commander-in-Chief, bid...Kowtow to Yuzhong Hall."

"The commander-in-chief of Haitan Town..."

"The commander-in-chief of Jinmen Town..."

There were nine chief soldiers, eight of them arrived, and the one who didn't come was the chief soldier of Taiwan Town.

Zhu Yigui on the island of Taiwan has unfurled the banner of "Marshal Zhu of Great Ming Chongxing, a Revolutionary and Good People", and is making big troubles on the island.

It is completely understandable that the commander-in-chief of Taiwan Town needs to send troops nearby to suppress him, and he cannot escape to Fuzhou to visit Yuzhu.

The generals of the green battalion in Fujian all came forward to meet with them one after another, and it was considered a routine, and they returned to their shifts to stand.

It is worth mentioning that the chief soldier of Nan'ao Town also brought the general of Zuoying to Fuzhou to meet Yuzhu.

Nan'ao Town is located at the throat of the coastal junction of Fujian and Guangdong.Three years before Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, the entire Nan'ao region was under the jurisdiction of Fujian.

After entering the current dynasty, the old emperor continued the strategy of Fujian and Guangdong to contain each other in the previous Ming Dynasty, and deliberately asked the governors of Guangdong and Guangxi to negotiate with the governors of Fujian and Zhejiang to resolve the issue of the candidate for the commander-in-chief of Nan'ao Town.

Not only that, in order to better restrict the two provinces of Fujian and Guangdong, the old emperor also copied Wanli's methods, and set up the Fujian Camp (left battalion general) and Guangdong battalion (right battalion) under the banner of the Nan'ao Town General General).

The respective spheres of influence of Fujian and Guangdong are bounded by the Fujian-Guangdong boundary marker erected on Guiding Street.

Due to unclear powers and responsibilities, no matter whether the governor of Guangdong, Guangxi or Fujian and Zhejiang takes office, the generals of Nan'ao Town will take the generals from the left battalion or the right battalion to Guangzhou or Fuzhou, and they will not be offended. Taiwan's master.

On the surface, the chief soldier of Nan'ao Town seemed to be that the mouse fell into the bellows, and he was angry on both sides!
In fact, just because Guangdong and Fujian can be managed, but neither can have the final say, the commander-in-chief of Nan'ao Town has instead become a local emperor with a wealth of eunuchs.

After saluting like a rite, Yu Zhu only left the Admiral Shi Shibiao, and let the rest of the generals disperse.

As we all know, Shi Lang is one of Zheng Chenggong's most famous naval generals.The old emperor's smooth platform was due to Shi Lang's betrayal.

Shi Lang's betrayal was mainly due to Zheng Chenggong's suspicion of him.In particular, after Shi Lang was arrested, he actually ran away. In a rage, Zheng Chenggong ordered the killing of Shi Lang's eldest son, Shi Shize, and more than 70 relatives of Shi's family.

As a result, Shi Lang and the Zheng family formed a sworn feud.

Yuzhu is a latecomer, so he naturally knows a hard truth: if you want to pacify Taiwan, you must strengthen the navy.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Fujian Navy is the most important magic weapon to control Taiwan.

"Wen Bing, sit down." After Yu Zhu sat down, he greeted Shi Shibiao with a smile.

But Shi Shibiao went down thousands of times, and said respectfully: "My brother has encountered catastrophe many times, if Zhongtang hadn't rescued him many times, I'm afraid he would be a dead bone in the tomb."

Yuzhu couldn't help but smile slightly, Shi Lang's tutor is really good, the Shi family is still very united!

After Shi Lang surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, the whole family was incorporated into the Han Army Xianghuang Banner.

Shi Shibiao's second elder brother, Shi Shilun, is full of knowledge.However, his temper was too upright, and he repeatedly offended the important officials of Manchuria.

Some people seized the loopholes in Shi Shilun's poems and made a big fuss, trying to kill Shi Shilun.

Yu Zhu, who easily ignored other matters, helped Shi Shilun say a few good words in front of the old emperor, and helped him escape the danger smoothly.

With this layer of origin, Shi Shibiao is naturally willing to get close to Yuzhu.

Yuzhu wanted to know the real situation in Fujian and Taiwan, since Shi Shibiao approached him on his own initiative, he naturally wished for it.

"Wen Bing, you are too polite, sit down, sit down, let's drink tea and talk at the same time, how about it?" Yu Zhu stood up resolutely, and pulled Shi Shibiao up with his own hands.
