Great Qing Dynasty talker

Chapter 83 Empire’s Physical Examination Report
The Imperial Envoy's camp was in a mess.

The power of the explosion cannot be underestimated.

The camp gate and tent even flew dozens of meters away.

The corpses were piled on the ground, which was shocking.

The dispersed Green Camp soldiers have regrouped and are cleaning the battlefield under the supervision of the Eight Banners Master.

Pile the bodies onto the cart and take them away.

By the way, check where these people are coming from.

Even broken knives, boots, bloody clothes, and scraps of paper must be collected to look for clues.

A Green Camp soldier secretly hid the ingot of silver.

The Eight Banners soldiers under supervision discovered it, shouted over and stabbed him.

The others were so scared that they no longer dared to hide their belongings.

A large group of governors, envoys, envoys, and magistrates surrounded the imperial envoy.

As soon as he came out, he was retching from the smell of blood.

Most of the people present were civil servants, and their understanding of the battlefield was still on paper.

These are impassioned and inspiring words.

Occasionally, after drinking, I also fantasize about becoming a scholar and conquering the sixteen states of Yanyun and so on.

Then he went to beat the maid.

In fact, people actually go to the battlefield.

Just fear, nausea, and just wanting to stay away.

Even true warriors don’t go into battle with full expectations.

This is true human nature.

……

The inspector is in charge of criminal matters and has a stronger psychological endurance.

He saw something on the bottom of a corpse's shoe.

So I opened it for inspection, hoping to find some clues.

"Sir Nitai, what did you find?"

"There is dirt under this man's boots, it seems~"

Suddenly, a corpse lying next to him came to life and turned over.

Holding the knife, he stabbed it into the inspector's waist until the knife's handle was deep.

He also pushed upwards fiercely.

The inspector let out a heart-rending scream and then stopped abruptly.

The White Lotus sect who pretended to be dead was immediately chopped to death by the guards.

"My lord? My lord?"

A group of people raised their heads in panic, but they were already out of breath.

In full public view, Jiangsu's Inspector General, a dignified third-grade official, was assassinated by a White Lotus cultist who pretended to be dead.

A group of people were so angry that they went crazy.

The Green Camp soldiers also began to vent their anger on the corpses, chopping them up one by one.

All the red-topped men are dejected. What's the matter?

It is conceivable that the emperor received news that the White Lotus Sect in Suzhou was in rebellion and attempted to assassinate the imperial envoy.

Before I had time to eat, I received another report that the inspector had been assassinated.

How could he tolerate Qianlong's narrow-mindedness?

"Everyone, let's plead guilty and prepare to go home and retire."

The governor said leisurely.

Everyone thinks this is what happened.

The group of people returned to their respective rooms silently and wrote an apology note.

The words are sincere and make you cry when you read them.

It's a pity that the crime-discussing silver system has not yet come out.

Mr. He's way of serving as an official has not yet reached the level of perfection.

Mainly because it rose too fast and there was no time to reflect.

……

Although I was mentally prepared to be dismissed from office and go home to chew on myself.

Your Excellencies still have professional ethics and have made a series of arrangements.

Transfer troops!

Suzhou City guards the left and right camps, and Fubiao's left and middle camps.

There are also the Pingwang Camp and Taihu Xiezuoying Navy who have arrived in a hurry.

In addition, hundreds of Eight Banners soldiers from the Imperial Guard were stationed in Fucheng.

There were several sporadic battles with the White Lotus Sect, all of which were small-scale.

Surprisingly, no large-scale uprising was detected.

All the local officials couldn't believe it and thought it was the White Lotus Sect who was holding back another big move.

The people of the prefecture and county were mobilized to be strong and archers to be on guard day and night.

Guards were deployed at all traffic arteries and a curfew was imposed.

Huang Si was so busy that his feet couldn't touch the ground and he didn't get a sound sleep for several days.

He sent all the government officials out and arrested the White Lotus Sect from house to house.

What the White Lotus Sect looks like is not written on his face.

But the government officials had only one way to catch unfamiliar faces.

Every unfamiliar face and foreign accent.

Unless there are 3 local households as guarantees, or people with status.

The rest will all go to the king's law first.

It is obvious that the prison in the government office cannot be closed.

The inspector's office was blown down again.

We could only temporarily requisition a few granaries and cram everyone in them.

……

Although Huang Si was very tired, he was in a good mood.

First, the high officials saw that his loyalty was 100% true.

Secondly, there is this city-wide manhunt, fat bastard!

More than 1000 strangers were arrested, and most of them were not from the White Lotus Sect.

But if you want to release it, you have to spend money.

On a normal day, people would be criticized and even held accountable for arresting people like this.

There are so many literati and gentry in Suzhou that everyone can give some advice.

But now, the White Lotus Sect blew up the imperial envoy's office and attacked the imperial envoy, resulting in numerous casualties among officers and soldiers.

In this case, who dares to jump out?
He was immediately arrested as a remnant of the White Lotus Sect and sentenced to death.

Taking advantage of the general trend, it doesn't hurt to do something a bit out of the ordinary.

Knocking on another house.

If there is a rockery in the yard, it means you are rich.

"According to the order of Lord Futai, we are searching for the traitor Bai Lian."

A man who looked like a butler pulled him aside and whispered:

"There are women in the house, don't dare to disturb them."

"Is this a little thought? Sir, you can keep it for tea?"

Huang Si's sleeves sank, based on his many years of experience in law enforcement.

Full of sincerity!

"Let's go, brothers. Next family."

The entire city of Suzhou is in a state of panic.

The official who carried the tiger-skin banner took his authority to the extreme.

Do your best to make things difficult.

A group of people who have never been enlightened or received systematic education.

But he uses it extremely skillfully, making it hard for people to pick out the thorns.

It seems that they are born with it.

The result is,

After a few days, the average charge per capita was three to five taels.

……

Li Yu also wanted to seize this opportunity.

The government had no intention of causing trouble for him, and even forgot about him.

Then you can't be idle, and take advantage of the muddy water to catch a few more fish.

"Make a list of all the people who are against us."

The more the merrier.

At today's meeting of key elements in Lijiapu, the theme was "revenge."

Li Yu is a tolerant person and generally does not hold grudges.

This kind of small-scale matter should be left to the subordinates.

After half an hour, a list was made.

Li Yu took a look and was shocked.

"so much?"

"Yeah. Let me introduce you."

"Lao Zhang of the Chaihe Chamber of Commerce has a double-minded intention to purchase high-quality coal from the Changxing Coal Mine in Zhejiang and bypass our supply channels."

"Smooth sailing in Hengtang Town, profiteers, they added secret warehouses and overcharged us 300 taels in confidentiality fees."

"The king of Fucheng, the scholar, made slanderous remarks, saying that you are a coward who can buy and sell by force."

"The Song Dynasty scribe in the Chief Envoy Si Yamen, who was loyal to the imperial court, refused to disclose the province's tax data."

……

Fan Jing read dozens of words one by one.

Li Yu was stunned when he heard this. I actually have so many enemies.

"Is it true?"

"It's true."

Li Yu took a red writing pen and checked off the list.

A total of 7 names were ticked off.

"The White Lotus Sect is rampant, these people can die from the White Lotus rebels."

"As ordered."

I took the black pencil again and drew out 3 names.

"These three people have quite a lot of money. The current world is not good and they can be kidnapped. They should be proud of being able to contribute to our great cause."

"okay."

"Remember, no matter what you do, you must be dedicated. If you do your best in every line of work, you can become an immortal."

"Huh?" Everyone was puzzled.

Killing people and setting fires, how can they become immortals?
So, Li Yu patiently explained:

"What is dedication? It's like blaming Bai Lian. You have to wear white clothes and white trousers, and you must shout their slogans when you do it."

"What if no one is home?"

"Write on the wall."

"Write what?"

"Learn from Wu Song. After killing Governor Zhang, he wrote an inscription on Yuanyang Tower."

"understood."

"Do you understand the rules of kidnapping meat tickets? Ask Liu Qian for advice on how to set the price."

"Military advisor, Liu Qian has not returned from Huizhou Mansion."

Li Yu was stunned and forgot about this.

Counting the days, it’s time to come back.

The people from Lijiabao left in groups.

If you don't enter Fucheng, it will be full of green soldiers, which is too dangerous.

Outside the city, the enemies were liquidated one by one.

……

There was white cloth in the warehouse, and a dozen sets of clothes were made on the fly.

Du Ren, Fan Jing, Lin Huaisheng, and Liu Wu each took their own people and acted separately.

Carry kerosene, fire breakers, short knives, and Lee's Type II sawn-off shotgun.

Several murders were committed in the suburbs.

Eventually, it became a stack of paper on Ma Zhongyi's desk.

All listed as white lotus rebellion.

Li Yu is a person who is very good at seizing the opportunity. It is never too early or too late to get things done.

The inspectors in charge of a province's prisons were all assassinated, and the government offices collapsed.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Bai Lian kills some rich squires again.Facing the reporting officer's family, the yamen had only three words: Got it.

This case cannot be solved.

If you have the ability, go find the White Lotus Sect!

There was a wealthy family who spent money to hire an old official from the government office to investigate.

"Master, do you see it?"

"Well, the method is extremely cruel, in line with Bailian's rebel style."

Liu Akun did this very well.

"The blood writing on this wall?"

"The official may also think it's strange."

"It's a little~unreasonable."

If Li Yu were present, he would probably go berserk.

Written in blood on the wall is "The murderer is Wu Song."

However, I couldn't write the word "武", so I wrote two typos in a row and crossed them out.

I couldn't write "Song" either, so I wrote "Song".

A typo is vaguely visible.

……

After carefully identifying it, the old official was also confused.

"This seems to be the way in the Water Margin."

"I infer that this murderer should worship Wu Song."

"However, the cultural level is not high and it is vulgar."

Faced with the ardent expectations of his family members, the old official couldn't help but sigh.

Told the truth:
"Xu is your head. He has offended a certain White Lotus cultist who has been hiding for a long time. He took this opportunity to seek revenge."

"Listen to my advice, there is no way to avenge this."

"The dignified family members of the Third-Rank Inspector are still crying in the mourning hall."

"I have something from the bottom of my heart, I wonder if you would like to hear it?"

"Master, please speak."

"Move."

The family members woke up from a dream and disappeared from Suzhou Mansion in just two days.

Because the old official's analysis is indeed correct.

If I don't leave, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep.

The White Lotus Sect may be in the town, or they may even be neighbors.

……

"White Lotus" people set out at night and returned early in the morning.

Li Yu stood on the fort wall early in the morning to welcome them back.

"Who made these clothes for you?"

"Hey, does it look good?"

The white cotton clothes had a big "Lotus" character dyed on the middle placket.

Are you, the White Lotus Sect, serious?

Fortunately it was night and I couldn't meet any smart people.

There were only two people kidnapped, and the other one accidentally died due to fierce resistance.

Li Yu didn't care, he just ordered the people to be locked up in the cellar.

In order to make things easier, Lijiabao dug several cellars.

Finally put it to use.

One of them is a Song Dynasty scribe from the Chief Envoy Si Yamen, and he is a scholar.

While working in the yamen, he was taking the imperial examination.

It took a lot of effort to catch him.

His family lives in Fucheng, so it is difficult to do anything.

But this man had a good friend who was selling wine by the door at the entrance of a fishing village in Yangcheng Lake.

Du Ren led his men to arrest his sweetheart first, and then asked her to write a letter.

Ask someone to bring it to Song Shuli and make an appointment with him.

I was afraid that he wouldn't come, so I wrote more exciting content.

The slave family is here!

The official of Song Dynasty was fished out in no time.

The trouble is, another woman has been tied up and cannot be released.

"Bring her."

A pretty woman with fear, doubt, and curiosity in her expression.

"I will not release you and give you two choices."

"The first one is to be silenced. The second one is that I will arrange a place for you, stay there for a few years and do your old job."

"The servants know the rules."

The woman responded hurriedly.

Just kidding, she has been running a wine shop for so long, how can she not understand some of the rules of the world?

I tied you up and I'm not afraid of showing my face.

Either they are ready to break up the vote, or they are confident.

"From now on, as long as you don't leave the place I arranged, you can get married without interfering in anything I do."

"Remember, if you want to escape, you won't survive if you are discovered once."

"Yes Yes."

The woman collapsed to the ground in fear.

……

"Military advisor, you really don't want to kill her?"

"Killing is not the purpose, it is just a means. Over there in the Xishan Coal Mine, there are more wolves and less meat. If there are any who perform well, they can be betrothed." Li Yu looked indifferent.

Currently, there are more than 500 young people working in Xishan Coal Mine.

Almost all of them are young refugees who have lost their families and come from all over the world.

It's different from Lijiabao there. It implements a strategy of one hand with carrots and the other with sticks.

Lijiabao is one of our own.

The vast majority of people in Xishan Coal Mine are servants at best.

There is no salary, accommodation and three meals a day are provided.

But, a promise was given.

Those who perform well can leave and become the master's servants.

Cultivating two-way trust requires time and effort.

I don’t have the energy right now, so this is all I can do.

Xiaowu has been staying there all this time.

Li Yu assigned him 25 armed men, equipped with Yanling knives and Li's Type II sawn-off shotguns.

To suppress chaos, shotguns are better than anything else.

Also equipped with some more knives and sticks.

Let him select foremen and mine protection teams from among the miners.

The foreman is equipped with a short stick covered with iron, and the mine protection team is equipped with a knife.

Otherwise, the 25 people alone would not be able to manage it.

Using barbarians to control barbarians is always an effective strategy.

The same was true for the Qing court, and the same was true for the Yuan court.

Conspiracy can last only a moment, but conspiracy can last a lifetime.

Strategies based on human nature and profit distribution are called conspiracy.

The most beautiful thing Yangmou did was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who extended his favor throughout the ages.

The most vicious thing is the 300-year cooperation between the Qing court and Han officials.

……

After all, the Song scribe failed to withstand the interrogation.

He told everything he knew about Jiangsu's tax, money and grain collection over the years.

Including collection time, delivery route and method.

In the 40th year of Qianlong's reign, the top three tax authorities were Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shandong.

The total tax revenue per year is more than 5000 million taels, and the province alone is as high as 900 million taels.

These are all important to Li Yu.

There was no Internet in the Qing Dynasty, so there was no way to understand these data.

It looks like a series of numbers, but it is actually a medical examination report of an empire.

Speaking arbitrarily,

The root of all conflicts is money.

This is true whether it is as large as an empire or as small as a family.

If the economy is affluent, it can cover up [-]% of the contradictions.

If you don’t have money in your pocket, it can easily fall apart.

From these data, Li Yu can get a lot of inspiration.

Understand the Qing court's tax system and its health.

Gradually lay mines for him.

Before raising the flag to rebel, he will definitely intercept the tax money and food in Jiangnan and take it for himself.

If Jiangbei cannot be controlled, Qingjiangpu in Huai'an Prefecture will be burned.

This is a node that must not be used by the enemy.

Considering the geographical location, Zhejiang in the south can even be blocked.

Even if he couldn't get it himself, he wouldn't let the Qing government get it.

Without the money and food from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Zhili will definitely be in chaos.

Li Yu looked at the confession and an abstract map of the Qing Dynasty, and pondered for a long time.

Until Yang Yunjiao brought dinner.

"Master, it's time to eat."

"Okay, let's put it here."

He didn't notice that the title had changed.

It used to be Mr. Li, but now it’s Mr. Li.

However, the thought was in vain.

I'm hesitating whether to do anything.

Make green tea or make tofu, or when you have low blood sugar.

Bang, Li Yu slammed the table.

He shouted excitedly:
"I finally understand why Qianlong paid so much attention to the Qingshui Rebellion."

"what?"

"Because they occupy Linqing."

"The servants don't understand."

"There is nothing wrong with Linqing, but it blocks the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. This is what Qianlong is most afraid of."

Li Yu pulled her away:
"Look, if the Qing court were a person, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal would be his spine!"

"Where is the spine?"

"It's right here, extending from the waist to the brain. There are 34 sections in total."

……

"1, 2, 3, 4,~"

Hey, why did I only count 32 verses?

Li Yu blushed and became angry with embarrassment. Did he remember it wrong?
Why didn't I study medicine in the first place? Oh, by the way, studying medicine can't save the empire.

You can study art.

"There are as many knots as the master says."

"No, science must be rigorous. One piece less and one piece more will not work."

After counting five times, I finally got it right.

Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief:

"Finally it's right. When I was learning to sketch anatomy diagrams, I always couldn't remember them clearly."

"It turns out I forgot my tailbone."

"Okay, you can go."

Yang Yunjiao staggered away, extremely embarrassed in the night.

Good man, where did you learn medical skills?

These numbers are not bones, they are clearly our souls.

Quan Ding plus Jun Yang, (41 nine 1590 nine 9)
