Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 146

"Congratulations, Dongge!"

After coming out from the emperor, He Shen came to congratulate Jia Liu, and wanted to accompany Jia Liu back to Beijing to get the official uniform from the guard.

Jia Liu knew in his heart that He Shen treated him so well, and it was to repay his kindness, because he had given him a chance to make a fortune.

This kid was good before corruption, and even better after corruption.

Since I don't know much about the industry of imperial guards, I must ask He Shen, the first-class guard in front of the imperial court, how valuable he is.

Jia Liu's understanding was that the first-class bodyguard in front of the imperial court was equivalent to the commander of a major general. To him, it was undoubtedly a great improvement from the deputy of the lieutenant colonel regiment to the position of major general.

According to He Shen, in addition to the increase in salary, the first-class bodyguard in front of the imperial court has the opportunity to serve as the deputy governor of the Eight Banners, the chief of the mausoleum, and the chief of the Chahar Nomad of the Eight Banners.

This is a promotion within the banner, and it is best to make up for the vice capital of the Eight Banners.

Hearing the benefits, Jia Liu secretly rejoiced, but suddenly thought that Kangxi would have stipulated that bannermen of the Han army could not hold positions above the fourth rank of the Eight Banners, so how could he be promoted to the deputy capital commander?
Now ask Heshen about the limitations of this system on his future, of course, not explicitly, but euphemistically.

"Brother Dongge, rules are dead, people are alive, as long as the emperor says to use you, who will object?"

He Shen gave an example of a fellow from Jia Liuben Banner, Li Shiyao, the current governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.

"Back then, Mr. Li entered the official position as a Yinsheng and served as Zhangjing, the official fourth-rank seal official in the banner. Later, he was promoted to be the deputy capital commander of the Han army in the Zhenglan Banner. After a few years, he became the deputy capital commander of Rehe in the full Eight Banners. Now as a The governor of Guangdong and Guangxi also acted as the general of Guangzhou.”

After hearing what He Shen said, Jia Liu felt relieved, he understood that this guy Qianlong was really unruly when he was promoted.

If he likes you, he can pull you to heaven with a click of the "pah".

I don't like you, even the Manchurian old surname Genzheng Miaohong has to follow the steps.

Why did the Qianlong Dynasty become a high-ranking state-level official at such a young age? Isn't it because Qianlong was nepotism, only happy, but good.

Therefore, as long as Jia Liu does well and meets Qianlong's wishes, it is possible to command the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia in the future.

He Shen also talked about another advantage of the first-class bodyguard, that is, when the flag officer is transferred to the battalion officer, he will be given a first-class role, that is, Jia Liu, the first-class bodyguard in front of the imperial court, can directly serve as the second-rank lieutenant general of the green camp.

That's it?

Jia Liu subconsciously put down his hands behind his back, and for a long time, he was not as good as that traitor Lu Yuanguang. That guy was completely reactionary and he was also a second-rank Chongzhou lieutenant general, but he was a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty!

Moreover, the officials of the green camp can also be bought with money.

Therefore, he has no interest in serving in the Green Camp.

After all, he is a child of Eight Banners, how can he demean himself.

Don't look at being promoted to a higher level in the same place, the benefits are attractive, but if you really go, I'm afraid there will be an extra ceiling for promotion.

He Shen thought of something, and hurriedly said: "However, Dongge, you are from the Han army, even if the emperor uses you, you can't directly serve as a guard in the palace, so you are the guard of the Qianqing Gate."

This East Pavilion was called Jia Liu very kindly, and this title also showed that He Zhongtang really didn't say anything about him.

There are three types of Imperial Guards: Ouchi Guards, Imperial Guards, and Qianqing Gate Guards.

He Shen told Jia Liu that his official title was "Walking at the Qianqing Gate", which was a false title.

Those with this title in the system can become ministers of the inner court like the Ouchi guards, and often serve as envoys and deacons.

Usually the guards in the palace are under the jurisdiction of the ministers who lead the guards, but Jia Liu, the guard of the Qianqing Gate, is under the management of the former imperial ministers, and the former imperial ministers are usually served by clan ministers and military ministers.

This is also a kind of institutional balance, preventing the ministers who lead the guards from completely controlling the palace ban and abolishing the establishment of the emperor.

"So, I will be on duty in the palace from now on?"

Jia Liu didn't want to hang around in front of the old man every day. This first-class guard of Lao Shizi sounded awesome, but he was actually a gatekeeper, so he couldn't be happier outside.

His "Jia Lian" has just been established, and he still needs to be in charge in Sichuan to take command, otherwise, the old fox President Li can take him out of the picture.

Besides, the backbone of his gang is all in Sichuan, even if he can open the gate of Qianqing at any time, no one will rush to the Hall of Mental Cultivation with him.

Unexpectedly, He Shen told him that the reason why the emperor promoted him to be the first-class guard was not to let him stay in Beijing to watch the gate, but to have another important task.

Jia Liu hurriedly asked, "What do you mean, Mr. He?"

"I call you Dongge, you call me and your lord?"

He Shen was a little unhappy.

Jia Liu immediately corrected his mistakes: "He brother!"

He Shen smiled and told Jia Liu that Emperor Jia Liu was already deploying the third time to quell the Jinchuan war, so Jia Liu, the first-class guard with the title of Batulu, was still going to Jinchuan.

Hearing this, Jia Liu felt relieved because it was exactly what he wanted.

He Shen is not jealous of Jia Liu at all, except that he is indifferent to fame and fortune, he knows the emperor's intention to reuse Jia Liu.

Therefore, no matter how prosperous Jia Liu's official career is, it will not affect him and Shen half a step.

One must know that these three words, he and guard, are quite popular in Beijing.

Fu Chang'an, the deputy capital of the Zhenglan Banner of the Han Army where Jia Liu belonged, invited He Shen twice, and the intention of friendship was obvious.

But there is one thing Heshen still admires Jia Liu, that is the double-eyed plume that the emperor bestowed on Jia Liu.

It is precisely because of this double-eyed feather that Jia Liu was able to hold the false title of guard of the Qianqing Gate, because the ancestral system does not allow those who serve as guards in the inner court to wear flower feathers.

During the Kangxi Dynasty, Shi Lang was willing to exchange the marquis for Hua Ling after he made his platform, but was rejected by the Ministry of War. Kangxi gave Hua Ling a special favor because of Shi Lang's military exploits and loyalty to the Qing Dynasty.

Exchanging the hereditary marquis for Hualing shows the dignity of Hualing.

Like the yellow mandarin jacket, the flower feather itself does not represent anything, but it is not a reward from the emperor, even relatives and county kings are not allowed to wear it.

Although it is vanity, it is also an honor.

Wuneng Yibatulu's title is equivalent to the super-class fighting hero of the Qing Dynasty, and coupled with double-eyed flower feathers, imperial yellow mandarin jacket, and first-class bodyguards in front of the imperial court, Jia Liu's political gold content cannot be softened by biting his teeth.

He Shen briefly talked about Hua Ling, saying that there are one eye, two eyes, and three eyes.

The one-eyed person is bestowed on the guards and military officers who are below the sixth rank and who are on duty in the palace and the palace, and can also be rewarded to low-level military officers with military merits.

Eyes are given to officials below the first rank. Up to now, more than [-] people have been rewarded, including Agui and Fukang'an on the front line of Jinchuan.

Only a few people such as Fu Heng and Zhao Hui have been rewarded with the three-eyed flower feather.

Jia Liuneng was exceptionally rewarded with double-eyed feathers, but it was actually because of the difficulty of riding a tiger.

His braids and deeds of loyalty and bravery made Qianlong feel sad and directly gave Batulu a posthumous gift.

People in Batulu must wear flower feathers.

Those with flower feathers must be bodyguards.

It really is a ring.

However, Qianlong rewarded Jia Liu, a bannerman of the Han army, so much that he wanted to inspire the children of the Eight Banners of the Han army to serve the country.

Although he is constantly abolishing the Eight Banners of the Han Army, he plans to abolish all the Eight Banners of the Han Army within five years at the latest.

As a result, Jinchuan was defeated. Although the total number of Qing army casualties was only more than [-], among them, nearly [-] Manchu and Mongolian generals, officers and soldiers were killed.

The loss of these Man and Mongolian children made the already extremely empty Man and Mongolian Eight Banners even weaker, and Qianlong had to make a fuss about this loyal and brave boy from the Eight Banners of the Han Army.

After entering Beijing, He Shen took Jia Liu to the guard's office.

When he was about to arrive, he suddenly stopped and said to Jia Liu: "The emperor will definitely summon you before you go back, then you just need to remember what the emperor said, don't ask why, after you go back, you can also follow the emperor's orders. "

What does this mean?
He Shen doesn't talk casually, so his words are very meaningful.

After completing the formalities for official credentials and coming out with brand-new official uniforms and hats, Jia Liu suddenly realized what He Shen's words meant just now.

The old man may be training him to be a spy.

That's right, a place as big as a palm can't be beaten even after decades of fighting.

If the old man really wanted him to play the role of Mao Renfeng, Jia Liu would have to clean up those Qing scum and moths.

Let them continue playing like this, and the Qing Dynasty will end sooner or later.

However, Jia Liu still resisted this spy role.

Because it wasn't positive enough and didn't match his temperament.
