Emperor Kangxi sent me to marry

Chapter 294 Military Parade
The ground at right-back is rarely completely calm.

There are thousands of horses used as mounts, Eight Banners soldiers who train in the morning and evening, camels, and sheep, frequently moving and trampling on them.

Of course, artillery drills are also indispensable.

Haifeng made an appointment with General Fei Yanggu to meet at the right guard together early the next morning. They had no choice but to wait and wait. The sun was rising high, but the old general did not show up.Extremely bored, she took a group of people to watch the soldiers perform exercises, and ended up getting mad at herself to death.

It had only been three years since the war in Junggar, and Sichuan was still in the midst of war, but it had begun to enjoy peace.

On the training ground, she could only see a group of ordinary soldiers and low-level officers who were reluctantly doing their jobs. She didn't even meet a senior leader who had the final say. She asked several people in succession, but they all shook their heads and didn't know anything about it.

Dobu had a proud expression of "I told you so" as he walked around with his two-year-old daughter in his arms, mumbling something interesting.

"Isn't it said that rare things are valuable? Lian'er, look at you. Although the good things that Abu gave her are few, one can be worth the ten here. She still wants to get some more. If you keep it in your hands, what will be the result? It’s not worth anything.”

Hai Feng pretended not to hear and asked Qibele to go to the arsenal and pull out a small cannon.

"Aren't you saying that you don't know where the high-ranking officials have gone and that they can't be found? Okay. I'll let you know if they have ears on their heads and if they can still walk on two legs! "

Qibele was angry when he saw it, and ordered the forbidden troops he brought to help check the warehouse.Seeing that the princesses and Belles were serious about arguing, there was finally a short and fat pen-poster in the team who boldly stepped forward to reply.

"Princess, you know where all the men have gone."

"Oh, it's not easy. I've lost all my tongue, and only then came someone who can talk. The rest of my tongue is just for show."

"Please forgive me, princess. These gentlemen are in charge of our military pay. If you offend us, everyone will be ostracized."

"To tell the truth, I am here."

He quickly fetched a chair from the room, asked Haifeng to sit down, and stood on the edge to answer.

"Although it is against military regulations, we often go to Kill the Tiger's Mouth to play and have fun."

"Hmph, why don't you go to those shady places?"

"Don't dare to dirty the princess's ears with dirty words. There are not, that, such places, just a few."

"Okay, I know what you mean, go on."

"Yes. Three days ago, General Fei Yanggu of Guihua City sent a message, saying that he would come today to welcome the princess. Together with the above, why not go to Kill the Tiger's Pass a day in advance and wait. On normal days, they go there , I will definitely come back after staying for a few hours. With the honorable name of welcoming the general, I can legitimately spend the night there."

"Then even if the general didn't come, when I arrived, how could there be no one to greet me?"

"I told you, princess, please don't get angry. In fact, I have left a counselor here waiting for you. He, he went to collect the rent."

"what?"

It just gets more and more outrageous!

Haifeng simply shut up and stopped asking.

Qibele, who came back soon, looked equally unhappy.

"Fourth sister, I just went to the warehouse to look around. These people don't care about the cannons that the imperial court worked so hard to cast. They didn't take care of them well and the cannons are rusty."

"I got it. Come on. Don't be afraid. I'll give you five taels of silver and reward whoever can fire this cannon."

The reward of five taels of silver was not light, but none of the soldiers dared to raise their heads.

Still in the same writing style as before, he replied softly:

"Princess, there were still people who could fire these cannons two years ago. But now they are gone. A group of people were transferred from our place. The new guys said that the booklet didn't say that we should practice cannon fire. It's been a long time. Someone touched it.”

"Okay! No one is moving, I'm ready to move. It just so happens that I haven't let go yet!"

Duobu conveniently handed the child to Brother Ten, who was so frightened that Brother Ten could not move his upper body. "No, brother-in-law, how can I coax a child?"

"Won't you get it with practice? Look at your fourth sister, she still wants to learn how to fire cannons!"

Although his words were harsh, Duobu was extremely cautious and carefully inspected the cannon from inside to outside before nodding and agreeing to Haifeng's ignition.

"Ask someone to clean it on the other side, don't hit anyone. It doesn't matter if it's rusty, it's just a little bit on the surface. Clean it when you go back, apply some oil, and it'll be a good guy again."

It was the first time for Haifeng to see what a cannonball looked like with his own eyes, and he kept staring.

Compared with what she remembered seeing on TV, it was specious.

How to describe it.
It seems to be just a polished stone block.

"Dobu, is there any gunpowder here?"

"You know quite a lot. There is no such thing. The cannons with thicker barrels can be found in the shells. When we arrive at Guihua City in two days, please ask General Fei Yanggu to find one to show you."

"I heard that the Ministry of War has a dual-unit cannon that can be placed in a car. It is very light."

"You haven't let go of the old one, and you're always thinking about the new one. Come on. Plug your ears."

Under the protection of Dobu's hand, Haifeng lit the fuse and fired a real cannonball for the first time.

The sound of the cannon was deeper than she expected, but the movement was not too small.Especially in this era when there are no electric drills to drill holes and no owners to decorate.

It's probably similar to the muffled thunder that sounds before it rains in summer.

Brother [-] was quite clever and covered Xiao Lian'er's ears with his hands. The child was so new and just laughed and even made noises.

"Do it again, Abu do it again."

Dobu took his daughter back and was very proud of her boldness.

"Do you want to come again? Abu would like to come again ten times, but it's a pity that the person has already arrived."

Haifeng didn't know how Duobu's ears were so sharp.Not long after, sure enough, a tall, thin man in disheveled clothes, about 40 years old, with a beard, rode into the training ground on horseback.

Apparently, this was the unlucky guy who was left to greet her.

The man turned over and dismounted very neatly and had good eyesight. He came directly to salute Haifeng.

"Good luck to the fourth princess. A lowly position means you will be welcomed from afar."

"Oh. Are you the one who collects rent? Why are your clothes in such a mess and there are injuries on your face?"

"Bizhi. Bizhi came in a hurry and hit a tree."

Hai Feng was upset and didn't want to save face for this man, so he called Fugui directly.

"Have you heard clearly?"

"Yes. Master, the Lord Councilor wants to increase the rent by [-]%. The old lady in that house is so powerful. If she catches him, it will be a slap in the face. The slave can see clearly from the side. If the master hadn't set off the cannon here, he still wouldn't be able to get away. !”

Kangxi really didn't suffer a loss. He gave her three thousand soldiers and horses, and she was so useless!
Haifeng thought angrily and sat back on the chair.

"Why hasn't General Feyangcourt arrived yet? Have you got the news?"

"Go back to Your Royal Highness the Fourth Princess. General, he had a headache last night and fainted!"

　Regarding the relatively slack state of the Youwei garrison, it is not a forced plot. The plot is mainly based on a corruption case that occurred here in the early years of Qianlong. Of course, there are changes.

　　The next chapter will be quite long and will be updated tomorrow. Good night, readers~
　　ps: I decided to write General Feiyanggu’s illness as a headache at the last minute. I will definitely write it in a very realistic way. I have just suffered a lot hahaha~
