Anti-Qing: I'm actually an honest person

Chapter 36 Disgusting promotion

Go back in time a little bit, the Forbidden City.

Kangxi personally handed over the two secret decrees to Hao Duo, the confidant imperial guard with a sword, and shunned all the eunuchs and maids, saying: "Hao Duo, I have a confidential and important matter, and I want you to do it."

Hao Duo was frightened by the battle, and he quickly knelt down and said, "Long Live Lord, please order me, this servant will swear to serve you to the death."

"It's not that serious, come on, get up, sit down, don't be so cautious if there are no outsiders, there are only you and me here, and I always regard you as my friend in my heart."

Here I have to say that although Kangxi in his youth was politically immature, even naive, especially in the past few years after getting rid of Obai, he let himself go more and more, just like a sophomore. In the matter of buying people's hearts, he is self-taught. To be honest, he is still very remarkable in terms of personality charm. A few words can coax Hao Duo into tears.

"I don't dare to be the friend of the Long Live Lord. The Long Live Lord has something to tell me. The slave must go through fire and water. Even if he dies, he must not embarrass the Long Live Lord."

"It's really not that serious. It's not a difficult matter. I plan to let you lead the elites of the two Zuo and Eight Banners to go south and stay in Chaozhou for two years. You lack experience in foreign affairs and have no military achievements. I can't make an exception for you. You go and get two years of qualifications, so I can entrust you with important tasks when you come back."

"Slave thank you Long Live Lord for your kindness."

"Liu Xun from Chaozhou Mansion is a talented person. You must have heard of it, but there are some differences of opinion between me and the Empress Dowager regarding the use of this person. I also plan to try the loyalty of this Han Chinese."

"How does Long Live Lord plan to try?"

"In the south of Chaozhou, there is a rebel named Qiu Hui, who is entrenched on a small island called Dahao. Located between Fujian and Vietnam, Shang Kexi and Geng Jingzhong have not been able to eliminate him, or are too lazy to talk to him."

"I plan to form the Chaozhou navy and rebuild Chaozhou town. I will take you as the general army of Chaozhou, Shi Lang as the admiral of the navy, and add a temporary dispatch as the general manager of Chaozhou. This Liu Xun will be in charge. After you arrive in Chaozhou, the three armies will be unified within three days. Send troops to suppress this traitor."

"Is this...is it a bit of killing a chicken with a sledgehammer?"

Kangxi nodded when he heard the words, and said: "It is to kill chickens with a sledgehammer. This battle is under the unified command of Liu Xun in name, but you are the secret supervisor of the army."

"After the victory, according to the old practice, the rebels on Dahao Island, regardless of whether they are soldiers or civilians, will be slaughtered, so as to deter those who are concerned about the previous dynasty in the country."

"During this process, if Liu Xun shows strong disobedience, sympathizes with these rebellious officials and thieves, or even releases the enemy chiefs privately, you can take out the secret decree on your left and behead Liu Xun on the spot. However, When I report afterwards, I will say that he was killed by the bandit army, and this involves a small agreement between me and the Empress Dowager."

"I understand, little Qiu Hui is nothing to worry about, testing Liu Xun is the real mission of this sea battle."

"That's right, you are my own person, and I take you as a friend, but I might as well tell you that the bet I made with the Empress Dowager is related to the world. The Empress Dowager thinks this person is untrustworthy, but I think this person is loyal, brave and resourceful." , although I firmly believe in my own eyesight, but there is no guarantee that there will be no treacherous villains on the navy side to frame him. Regarding this person's loyalty or not, you have to trust your own eyes and don't be fooled by villains .”

Hao Duo was shocked when he heard the words, knowing that he was involved in big trouble this time. After all, as a guard with a sword in front of the imperial court, he knew some things better than outsiders. For example, he knew the relationship between His Majesty and the Empress Dowager. During the period, especially in the past few years after Aobai's death, the relationship was actually not as ancestral and respectful as it seemed to the outside world.

After thinking for a while, he said: "The slave thinks that any evidence is not necessarily reliable. To judge whether a Han is loyal or not depends on what he does. If he can't bear the anti-thieves on Dahao Island, then this person can't be used anymore. On the contrary, this must be the pillar of our Qing Dynasty."

"Yes, you are quite right. If there is no problem with his performance on Dahao Island, you can take out the secret decree on your right. That is my real reward and arrangement for Liu Xun. I want to establish him as a A banner among the Han people, telling the people of the world, as long as you are loyal, I am definitely not a person who sticks to the rules. In addition to breaking the rules for promotion, you can also break the rules and send him to the sky! Of course, you should not be jealous."

"Long live Lord, don't worry, this servant understands that you reused Liu Xun to erect a memorial archway of Hanchen for the outsiders to see. We Manchus are the real masters of the world. Masters, how can you still envy that man?" Do domestic ferocious dogs eat meat?"

"Hahaha, smart, it's good if you have this awareness. Remember, this bet between me and the empress dowager can only win, not lose. When the time comes, everything depends on your own judgment. I trust you unconditionally." .”

"Thank you Long Live Lord, the servant will not let you down."

………………

Chaozhou City.

Almost two days after meeting Shi Lang, Liu Dapao received Kangxi's imperial edict.

And then he's going to be bad all the time.

Governor of Chaozhou?

This is obviously a temporary position, but what is the affiliation of this manager?Are you subject to Shang Kexi's restraint?Jin Guangzu doesn't care about himself?Who should I report to? Do I report directly to the capital?If yes, who is it reported to?Report directly to Kangxi?

Didn't say anything!
It feels like this appointment is not finished, only half of it.

What's more, even though he was promoted to an official position, Chaozhou City also welcomed two true ancestors of the leaders: Eight Banners Soldiers.

As a Han, can he really manage these Eight Banners soldiers?
The Manchurian Eight Banners had a total of 16 soldiers in the Kangxi period at this time, which seemed quite a lot, but half of them were defending the capital, and half of the remaining 6000 people stayed in their hometown in the Northeast. In the remaining half, they will be stationed in Zhili, Tongzhou, Shunyi, Rehe, etc., most of the places outside the fifth ring road of later generations, as the second barrier of the capital.

There are really not many Eight Banners soldiers left that can be truly deployed. In the early Qing Dynasty, there were basically very few, and it can even be said that there were almost no cases where Eight Banners soldiers were stationed south of the Yangtze River.

In the south, San Francisco and Five Towns were used to replace the Eight Banners garrisons. After all, in the eyes of the Qing court, although Wu Sangui Shang Kexi and others were Han Chinese, they were actually not much different from the Eight Banners Manchus in actual use. It is even more ruthless than the real full eight banners.

Now, two assistant leaders are suddenly arranged in Chaozhou, not to mention the military significance, but the political significance is huge, and it will definitely further stimulate Shang Kexi and Geng Jingzhong.

In addition to the political and economic significance, Liu Dapao had to build a city for these Eight Banners grandfathers.

The so-called Mancheng refers to the area where the Manchu people gather. It is short of posting a sign at the gate of the city that Han people and dogs are not allowed to enter. These gangsters are doing their own thing inside the city, and the local government has no right to intervene. It's not realistic, it's normal to go to the street to rob a civilian girl if you have nothing to do.

It's disgusting!
Of course, it's just disgusting, bear with it, but Liu Dapao can't bear it.

But this time the strength of the three armies went south to attack Qiu Hui on Dahao Island, this order was already tantamount to feeding shit in the eyes of Liu Dapao.

He really doesn't want to eat it!
