Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 332
Regardless of the Minister of Military Aircraft or Zhang Jing, the Military Aircraft Department is divided into Manchu and Han.

Manchu officials have full houses, and Han officials have Han houses.

The full house is in charge of the Jingqi camp, the garrisons in various provinces, and the Northwest military camp.

The Han House is in charge of civil officials of the Beijing Ministry and various provinces, and military officials of the green battalion.

Each has a clear division of labor, and Zhang Jing, the foreman, presides over the work.

At first, the Manchu and Han military ministers also worked in separate rooms. Twenty years later, in order to reflect the unity of Manchu and Han, the military ministers on duty were combined to work in one room.

The Han military aircraft on duty today are Yuan Shoutong, Minister of Criminal Affairs and Minister of Military Aviation, and Liang Guozhi, a trainee military aircraft who was promoted from the governor of Hubei.

Man Junji is Suo Lin and Qing Gui.

The four Manchu and Han military ministers have been discussing the replacement of Eight Banners military posts and green battalion official posts, mainly from the front of the Sichuan Army.

The replacement list was divided into two batches, one was submitted by Dingxi General Fengsheng and Sichuan Governor Li Shijie;

This time, more than 240 officers from the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion were promoted, two-thirds of whom were recruited by the army, and one-third of the by-elections in the Beijing Eight Banners.

"I think the Firearms Battalion and the Vanguard Battalion will be restored first, and the addition of the Shanpu and Jianrui Second Battalions can be delayed."

Suo Lin meant that the approved test book could be submitted to the palace for decree to be promulgated.

The other three military ministers had no objection.

Next, it was agreed that General Xi Fengsheng would play a petition to suppress the payment of the bank.

Before the bandits raided the Mardang grain depot, a large amount of rice and grain stored in it were burned by fire, resulting in a serious shortage of food and equipment in front of the army. food, and raise arms.

After zero and zero total calculation, nearly 4 million taels of silver were used.

"Yonggui Hubu just took office, where is the money? Should I ask the internal treasury to allocate some money first?"

Yuan Shoutong's proposal was supported by three colleagues. Since the emperor handed over the management of the Guangchu Division Bank of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to Heshen, and promoted the crime-discussing silver system to various places, the Guangchu Division Bank has been making money every day. , it is conservatively estimated that no less than 5 million taels of criminal charges have been collected in the past few months.

Now that the army is in urgent need of money, it should be possible to ask the Guangshu Division to temporarily advance it.

"Then present it to the emperor."

Suo Lin took a pen to write down the opinions of the Military Aircraft Department and attached them to Feng Sheng's memorandum, and later handed them to the palace to request an order.

Next, several military ministers discussed several major issues.

First, the previous torrential rains in the Gyeonggi area have washed away houses and flooded fields in many places. Therefore, the government needs disaster relief to help the affected people rebuild their homes.

These all cost money, and grain and seeds have to be transferred from surrounding areas.

In the important place of Gyeonggi, there should be no refugees.

The second is that the Wenyuan Pavilion, Wenyuan Pavilion, and Wenjin Pavilion, which have been repaired for several years, have finally been completed. The Military Aircraft Department requested that the "Siku Quanshu" be stored in these three halls.

The third is a letter from Guotai, the governor of Shandong, stating that most of the people in Shandong have shotguns, and the government should come forward to organize a drill for the folks who have "private" firearms for practical purposes.

Qinggui objected to Cathay Pacific's petition, saying: "Min Zhuang is set up in various provinces and localities to patrol bandits, protect warehouses, assist battalion soldiers, and defend with the same funds. Soldiers are different; besides, gunpowder is very important, and it is inconvenient to distribute it for service. If they all practice shotguns and improve their proficiency in serial techniques, it will not help in eliminating violence and preventing rape."

Yuan Shoutong also said: "The emperor has always hated shotguns and firearms, and he did not let the children of the Eight Banners get used to them. What's more, the Han people are strong? There are too many Han people in all provinces who are well-trained in firearms, so we must prevent harm."

After hearing this, Liang Guozhi made a suggestion that all provinces, prefectures and counties should set up strong people, who should train hard, practice ordinary skills, and defend with the same capital as soldiers, so as to achieve practical results, and there is no need to practice shotguns.

"Just ask for it."

Sorin et al. had no comment.

The four military planes took a break, some drinking tea, some smoking cigarettes.

During the chat, Qing Gui said that the governor of Shandong, Guotai, had a very bad official reputation. Many Shandong officials said that Guotai was domineering, and he could not treat his subordinates with courtesy, and would yell at him if he didn't like it.

Liang Guozhi chuckled: "The son of a wealthy family, he became a governor before he was thirty. He is used to being aloof, and no one is normal in his eyes."

Yuan Shoutong sneered: "It's not like you're just being supercilious. Do you know that Yu Yijian would straighten up and kneel when seeing Guotai?"

Liang Guozhi was surprised: "Is there such a thing?"

Yu Yijian is the chief envoy of Shandong Province and the younger brother of Yu Minzhong, the Chief Minister of Military Affairs. If you say that the backstage background is much stronger than the governor of Cathay Pacific, it is a rare thing to be so flattering and flattering to Cathay Pacific. I am not afraid of losing In the face of his elder brother.

"This matter must not reach Yu Zhongtang's ears, otherwise it will definitely say that we are troublesome."

Sorin smiled and said something.

That is, Yao Lide, the former Governor of Fanhe Road, once wrote a letter saying that there was a branch of the White Lotus Sect in Shandong, and that the Qingshui Sect was active. Very prestigious among the ignorant people.

"It's not a good thing,"

If Liang Guozhi's intentions are true, Cathay should be reminded to beware of this Qingshui sect, and if necessary, they should copy the sect bandits, so as not to cause disasters.

Everyone agrees, the reason is that the White Lotus Sect has always been the target of the imperial court, and if its followers exceed a hundred disciples, troubles will inevitably arise.

"What do you think about this?"

Qinggui took out the memorial of Huguang governor Chen Huizu.

The play said that after the Jinchuan bandits entered Hubei, the localities competed for vigilance. However, the main force of the Huguang Green Camp was dispatched to Jinchuan to suppress the bandits, and there were no soldiers and horses in the province to suppress the bandits. Therefore, it is hoped that the imperial court can transfer the Huguang Green Camp back to the province.

Yuan Shoutong looked at Liang Guozhi who was smoking a hookah: "Brother Jie Ping, you once served as the governor of Huguang, and you were actually the governor of Hubei. I think the affairs of Hubei are clearer than us. What's your opinion?"

After a few mouthfuls of "Bada", Liang Guozhi said: "The number of bandits who have escaped is not large. It is reported that there are only three or two thousand people, which is not a big deal. However, the garrison in Hubei is limited, and it is difficult to resist with only the Eight Banners garrisoned in Jingzhou. If those bandits roam around and cause great damage to the area, I think we can follow Chen Huizu's request and transfer the Huguang Green Camp back to the province. We will also order General Xi to send troops to pursue it, and we must not slack off."

"Then ask for the order according to Brother Jieping."

Yuan Shoutong took the memorabilia of Chen Huizu, governor of Huguang, and wrote down the results of the military aircraft department's review and attached it.

There is no rush for other memorials and titles, so Suo Lin was about to enter the palace with Liang Guozhi to ask for an order, but the Secretary of General Affairs sent a new memorial.

But it belonged to Jia Jia Shikai, the minister in charge of Jingling.

"What about Jingling, why don't you report it to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and submit it to the Military Aircraft Department?"

Sorin opened Jia Jiashikai's memorabilia a little puzzled, and after a few glances, she couldn't help but become serious, looked at the other three, and smiled wryly: "I'm afraid we can't discuss this matter, why don't we go into the palace together face saint."
