Great Qing Dynasty talker

Chapter 115 Why do I want your heart? I just want your person.

Set it up all over the city,
It was Qianlong's plan, but the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty didn't seem to respond enthusiastically.

It is understandable that Hanchen disagrees.

Minister Manchu was not very enthusiastic either and was a little confused.

The old emperor was not in a hurry, he just sneered a few times in his heart.

In my toolbox, I not only have a horn, but also a hammer.

The palace is very quiet,
He was looking through the list of candidates sent by the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
After a while, I shook my head.

Not satisfied, they are all mature and stable people who seek the country.

Although he publicly admitted that the frequent disturbances in Suzhou Mansion were caused by Shi Linglun, the deputy general of Taihu Association.

but inside,

I still have some doubts. Is Shi Linglun alone a rebel?
I'm afraid it's not that simple.

Either there are accomplices from the officials and gentry, or there is the assistance of secret gangs, or there is the cooperation of local subordinates.

……

Opened another memorial,
Civil unrest in Guangdong is already the fifth this year.

Li Shiyao, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, tried his best to suppress it and never showed mercy.

He even personally directed the supervision and promotion of bids, as well as the Guangzhou Eight Banners Artillery Team, to deal with these rioters.

The memorial said,

Secret associations are prevalent in the Guangdong and Guangxi regions, and behind the civil unrest are clans and the instigation of the Tiandihui.

Qianlong closed his eyes,

Keep healthy and think at the same time.

It seems that my Qing Dynasty has some bad signs.

Like the disease of scabies, small-scale rebellions occur one after another.

Although it fell apart as soon as the soldiers arrived.

But this kind of spark, well, doesn't bode well.

In the Guangdong and Guangxi areas, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, the people are scoundrels, and the businessmen are profiteers. They have always refused to accept the king's rule.

As long as the Qing flag is still hanging on the city wall, it doesn't matter.

The only requirement of the imperial court for Guangdong and Guangxi is to pay taxes and money on time.

However, it is different for Jiangnan.

Not only money, but also food and people's hearts are needed.

There cannot be chaos in Jiangnan, otherwise the world will be unstable.

It is better to send a minister who is trustworthy and dares to kill people and take responsibility.

"Li Shiyao, Fukangan, Agui, Heshen, Zhugui~"

Qianlong muttered a series of names,

Although he is old, his thoughts are not chaotic at all.

……

Li Shiyao guarded Guangdong and Guangxi, and transferred some cannons to the governor of Liangjiang to kill mosquitoes.

He Shen is deeply in my heart, and it feels more comfortable to have him by my side.

A Gui, who had just made great achievements in pacifying Jinchuan and was still on the way to reorganize the army, it would be safer to put him in the center to control the military aircraft.

Fukang'an is full of energy, but he can practice and practice.

As the saying goes, dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and Fukang'an's genes are very good.

I know the secret best.

If he is appointed as governor of Jiangsu, his resume will be even more perfect.

Zhu Gui is currently a bachelor's degree student at the Hanlin Academy and has served two terms as chief envoy.

If this person is placed in the position of Chief Envoy of Jiangsu and makes some achievements, I will safely put him in a more important position.

People over sixty have been rare since ancient times.

There are some things you should think about.

Zhu Gui was a gentleman, talented, learned, capable, and not clique-y.

It is very suitable for him to be the master of the fifteenth son of the emperor.

"Tell the officials to let Zhu Gui take office in Jiangsu and be the chief envoy."

"Leave Beijing within 10 days."

"Also, Fukang'an is proposed to be the governor of Jiangsu, but he is still in Jinchuan and will not take office until he returns to Beijing to report on his duties and be granted a title."

"Let me tell the Ministry of War again that the Taihu Association is the only one, which is not good. Let them make an idea on how to split it up."

……

Suzhou Prefecture,
Huang Wenyun ushered in the highlight moment of his life, and he was so excited that he couldn't sleep a wink all night.

Being a fourth-grade prefect is a threshold.

To a certain extent, it was entering the emperor's eyes.

Presiding over the government,
Unless you make a big mistake, you can always climb higher.

From a truly poor student with poor food and clothing to where he is today, he would be considered a successful model in any dynasty.

"Sir, what does this agency mean?"

"Agency means agency. Usually these two words will be removed after the new year."

Mrs. Huang is also in a good mood recently.

The husband will be promoted and the family will become rich.

Li Yu sent 10 taels in one breath, which made her so happy that she couldn't sleep.

There were too many people in the house, so he was sent back to his hometown.

Two ships were escorted by people from Lijiabao.

Helped to send it to his hometown, a small village in Jiujiang, Jiangxi.

Huang Wenyun trusts Li Yu more recently.
The main reason is that we have experienced a lot of things together, both good and bad.

But don't know,
This move later caused him much trouble.

Later, when he was wavering between the court and Li Yu and needed to make a choice.

A piece of white silk stained with blood,
Let him look up to the sky and sigh, and cut off his braids on the spot.

After the establishment of the Li Empire, he also became the first minister of the Dragon to retreat bravely.

……

this day,
There are huge crowds of people outside Suzhou, but there is not much noise.

The dark crowd stood in silence.

On a wooden platform,
Hundreds of monks wearing cassocks are offering salvation to the dead.

Pray for the victims in Xukou Town and Hengtang Town.

The city guard camp dispatched 100 soldiers to maintain order.

The cards are big this time.
The government government came forward to invite, Li Yu funded it, and all the well-known masters in the industry came.

Of course,
Monks are compassionate, certainly not for the golden carriage fare.

The Buddha's name is melodious and solemn.

Li Yu also closed his eyes and recited the Diamond Sutra for a while. He noticed that one of the monks on the stage had a special temperament.

It can even be said to be out of place.

Very tall, very strong, like King Kong.

Among the peers who lack exercise, they appear particularly eye-catching.

When he opened his eyes, he was kind-hearted and wise.

"Which temple does this monk belong to?"

"Hanyuan Temple, the new abbot, his name is Mie Kong."

"It always feels a bit inconsistent."

"Hehe, even the monks in the temple don't obey him."

"Then how did he become the abbot?"

"The old abbot was highly respected and passed away at the age of 99. He was appointed before his death and reported to the government, so other monks had nothing to do."

"interesting."

……

Du Ren left the day before yesterday and went to Chaozhou Prefecture.

Fan Jing looked around and saw no strangers.

"Commander, I feel a chill on my back and some hairs are rising on my back."

"Confused?"

"No, just these monks chanting sutras makes me feel very upset."

"If you think about it, it's all Shi Linglun's fault. It has nothing to do with us."

Lao Hu was also on the side, wearing a guerrilla official robe and standing with his sword in hand.

He is not far away,
I heard it and chuckled in my heart.

The imperial court was very generous this time, and the rewards were generous.

Everyone mentioned in the victory document will be promoted or rewarded with silver.

Even Li Yu received a verbal commendation as a "righteous citizen", and oh, by the way, there were also 20 taels of silver.

Huang Zhifu was afraid that Li Yu would be unhappy, so he repeatedly emphasized that the main reason was that he had no official status and no fame.

As a cliché, it is recommended to buy a supervisory student.

Li Yu also pretended to feel aggrieved, so he asked for two permissions.

One is Dongshan team training, and the other is to form private firefighting teams in the three counties of Fucheng.

The latter agreed without hesitation.

Fire is one of the chronic diseases of cities in this era.

Once a street is burned down, even the Forbidden City cannot avoid it.

There is no reason to refuse the good deeds done by someone who has been taken advantage of, and they can also be reported to the court as their year-end performance.

It is run by the government and the people.

……

Team building is much more sensitive.

If it weren't for the award of "righteous people", don't even think about it.

Li Yu dug up the "established cases" and convinced Huang Zhifu.

During the Yongzheng and Qianlong years, there were examples of temporary team training.

"Master Huang, please note that this is a temporary measure."

"what for?"

"The Miao people in the southwest rebelled, and the emperor ordered the two provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou to set up regiment training to cooperate with the official army in combat. The recruitment and withdrawal are temporary in nature."

"In that case, let's follow the example."

"Thank you sir."

"But this matter must not be made public and kept low-key."

"Don't worry, Mr. Huang, no one knows how to make a fortune silently better than me."

……

The limit is 100 people, and only cold weapons such as swords and spears are allowed. Bows, arrows, armor, and fire guns are all expressly prohibited.

Huang Wenyun couldn't help but laugh,

But he couldn't help but ask:
"Tell me the truth, what is the real purpose of forming a team training?"

"Sir, which one of my business is peace? There is no way, there are too many enemies."

"Is it that serious?"

"Are those guys in the coal mine going to be restrained?"

"Correct."

"The coal cake business has monopolized the whole city and the five lower counties. Don't you think others are jealous?"

"Right."

"There are still disputes over some unowned farmland and shops in Xukou Town and Hengtang Town, and how many people are coveting them."

"Oh, yes."

"The Taihu Association is gone, but there are always remnants of soldiers and water bandits. They have committed many murders. Occasionally, they killed or injured someone, but they suppressed them and did not report them."

“It’s about filling that gap.”

"To be honest, how many people have we offended with this combination of punches? These people are not ordinary people. Can you sleep peacefully at night? I can't sleep peacefully anyway."

Huang Wenyun let out a long sigh,

As if he had made up his mind, he whispered:
"I privately allow your group training to carry a small amount of firecrackers."

"But be sure to hide it so no one sees it. If a fight breaks out, you can take it out and use it."

"Thank you for your kindness, my lord."

"How are you doing with your lord?"

"It's good, but I'm too busy. I have the errands of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the imperial errands, and the internal affairs of my banner."

Li Yu explained solemnly, clasping his fingers.

Huang Wenyun looked yearning:

"I can't imagine what kind of holy family this is."

"Master Huang, there is no need to be envious, you are also in the Emperor's heart."

"Really?"

Li Yu cupped his hands and said:
"The emperor once said personally in the Ti Ren Hall that Huang Wenyun did not shirk when things happened and dared to take responsibility. He was a good official."

The speaker is relaxed and the listener is excited.

Huang Wenyun actually plopped and slipped to the ground.

Kneel down and kowtow to the north.Three rings, very standard.

……

Li Yu thought to himself that money alone cannot buy your heart.

There is no other way but to use some despicable means.

Refer to Qingpi Chai Lie Nu.

Why do I want your heart? I just want your person.

Magistrate Huang, even though you have the imperial court in mind, as long as the back door is open for me.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a back door to get things done.

As long as you can be used by me,
You can pretend to be someone else in your heart, it doesn't matter.

Li Yu is so open-minded,

On realm:
The infatuated and honest people are on the first floor.

Green skin and yellow hair are on the second layer.

Li Yu is on the third floor.

Hong Dachang, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, is on the fourth floor.

Liu Xiahui is on the eighteenth floor underground.

As for why Master Hong is on the fourth level, I will talk about it later.

After getting permission, Li Yu took the time to get it done.

It’s not difficult to run a group practice.
Just change your clothes and take on your sword and shield.

Just in time to train a cold weapon team.

And there is no need to be secretive, just carve out a piece of land in Dongshan.

Houses were built, fences were fenced, and trenches were dug.

Hang a sign at the door, Dongshan Group Practice.

And Li Yu is Master Lian.

Although he has no rank, he can hold actual power.

If there are any thorns around, just one glance can catch someone.

He was charged with being a thief and was sent to the Yamen Prison.

There is a prison officer named Chen Yaosi who loves to take care of prisoners.

although,

In the past, I used similar methods to deal with my enemies.

But one is hidden and has an unfair name.

One is public and can be brought to the table.

The difference is huge!
Li Yuhua spent a lot of money to hire teachers.

Teach sword and shield fighting skills and train frequently.

After some time, he will send these people to the battlefield.

Otherwise, when I go to the battlefield in the future, I will regret it if I encounter the situation of being raided last time.

……

Huang Wenyun approved the establishment of 100 people.

However, who will really count?

During Dongshan group training, 200 people were directly crammed in.

The daily arrangement is that half of the people train with swords and shields, and the other half patrol.

From Lijiabao to Dongshan, they are all patrol areas.

Within a few days, two stragglers from the former Taihu Association were actually captured.

After a round of torture,

Sent to the government office to silence everyone.

The existence of group training seems meaningful.

However, recently there have been two flies that have been looking for trouble.

One is Yan Jiansheng, who puts forward unreasonable ideas from time to time.

Recently, I set my sights on a good piece of unowned land.

This land is close to Xujiang Pier, and Li Yu wants to swallow it.

Once the wharf is expanded, this land will be in the way.

I was so busy with trivial matters some time ago that I never had time to take care of the dock.

Now my hands are free,

Time to do some serious business.

For a long time, Lijiabao's industry has not been serious.

It is not a problem if things continue like this, so it is more important to build a high-standard dock.

There is also a fly, the county magistrate of Wu County.

The county magistrate Li Yuanwu could not control him because he was not from a poor family.

In Journey to the West, he is a villain like the Golden Horned King, with the support of gods behind him.

The county magistrate, whose surname was Wang, demanded that group training be banned.

The reason is that it is easy to disturb people.

Li Yu talked with Li Yuanwu privately and couldn't figure out this guy's true purpose.

If it's for money,
I don't mind dividing the points and blocking his mouth.

But after sending someone to the door, it seemed that was not the case.

This guy doesn't have any oil or salt.

……

Yan Jiansheng has a distant relative in the capital, who is an official the size of a sesame seed and a mung bean.

There is no need to worry about engaging him.

However, Li Yu still gave up.

The main reason is to wait for Huang Wenyun to speak and earn favors.

Favors can be exchanged for benefits.

Therefore,
It's better to pinch Wang County Cheng.

Liu Qian is here. He rarely appears in the fort recently.

Most of the time, the intelligence organization was being prepared.

The accounts should be reviewed directly by Li Yu and not by Fan Jing.

"Have you figured out Wang County Cheng's habits?"

"It's all recorded on this piece of paper."

Li Yu read it twice and made the final decision:
"Since he said that group training has no meaning, let's start from this point. Find a few people, pretend to be Taihu Association's defeated troops, and avenge the general."

"Kill him?"

"No, but the lesson must be profound."

"understood."

After chatting for a while, Liu Qian was about to leave.
suddenly asked:

"Would you like to give Magistrate Huang a deeper impression?"

Li Yu was stunned and asked:

"You mean to scare Huang Wenyun to prevent him from retreating and not supporting team training?"

"Yes, we are temporary after all."

……

Li Yu finally agreed with his idea.

You can do it, but pay attention to the method and don't make it self-defeating.

"Huang Wenyun came from the bottom and has a very alert mind. Don't underestimate him."

"Don't worry, sir, I will do it cleanly."

Liu Qian is quite talented in this area.

Good news came a few days later,

When a group of officials were drinking,
Suddenly a masked man rushed out and shouted, "Kill the dog officer and avenge the brothers of the Taihu Association."

A bag of black powder was thrown on the table.

The lead is very short, and it explodes.

Perhaps due to poor technique, the black powder was loosely inserted.

No one was killed, but all of them were burned into a black-faced Bao Gong, who was in an extremely embarrassed state.

Wang Xiancheng was among them, scurrying away with his head in his arms.

The masked man slashed his face with a knife.

Later, he jumped into the river and escaped without trace.

When the city patrol officers arrived, they almost didn't recognize these gentlemen.

Everyone has a dark face, only the ones with white teeth.

I lamented that it was fortunate that the thief's gunpowder skills were not superb.

After Wang Xiancheng returned home, he had a high fever for 2 days and was frightened.

Then,

A bag of black powder was also thrown into Magistrate Huang's house. This time it was even worse. It didn't explode, but just burst into flames.

The wall was written in blood again.

"Every wrongdoer has his own owner, and every debtor has his own owner. If the yellow dog does not die, we will never rest."

This intimidating tactic quickly attracted attention.

Magistrate Huang tightened the internal regulations and tightened the patrols in the city.

The officers were also asked to conduct overt and covert inspections to search for caught fish.

Dongshan group training,

It is no longer irritating, and from time to time I can capture a couple of small robbers.

……

What Li Yu had been thinking about finally came out.

A battleship!
Kuai Chuanyu said happily that this was the most expensive ship he had ever built in his life.

because,

All metal components used in the joints are quite expensive.

Flat-bottomed boat, nearly 600 materials (equivalent to a displacement of 200 tons).

The appearance looks nothing special, with a wide deck and 2 masts.

Square head, square tip, flat bottom, shallow draft.

If necessary, you can sit on the beach.

Navigating on inland rivers is very practical and reduces the worry of running aground.

The deck is flat except for the aft cabin.

The freeboard is covered with iron and is slightly higher than that of ordinary sand ships.

During the battle, the musketeer can squat behind and fire his gun.

There is a short-barreled shotgun on each side of the middle, similar to the squatting tiger cannon, small in size, large in caliber, and tilted at 40 degrees.

It was fixed to the deck with steel nails and could not be moved.

When it is parallel to the enemy ship, or when the enemy wants to join the gang, it can kill or injure it.

Go into the cabin,

Five artillery positions were left on each side.

Li Yu noticed some details,
For example, the bulkhead has iron rings and hemp ropes fastened to it to fix the artillery.

A gas dead wind lamp is hung in the middle to provide lighting.

When the gunner needs to free his hands, he can poke the torch into the cylinder without causing a fire.

There are also wooden boxes fixed next to the gun positions to store gunpowder and shells.

"what is this?"

Liu Wu asked, touching a copper pipe.

Copper pipes run all the way to the deck.

"The person above speaks through the microphone, and the people in the cabin can hear it."

……

"Commander, would you like to give this ship a name?"

"Ji Kang."

"Ah?" Everyone was dumbfounded.

"You don't have much education, so you must be timid. This is one of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest."

Fan Jing held back his laughter,
I thought to myself that military advisors are always so unconstrained and romantic in their work.

Li Yu seemed to see through his heart and said:
"We have chosen a difficult road that requires a bit of rebellious romanticism. Many people will fall before dawn. Cherish this wonderful time. The days of mountains of corpses and seas of blood are not far away."

"My subordinate understands."

"Let's go on a trial voyage."

The Ji Kang sailed slowly into Taihu Lake.

Tried multiple tactical actions such as full speed, steering, broadside salvo, and beach sitting.

finally,
It has been officially finalized and 10 ships are to be built.
