Tuqing: My first love was Cixi

Chapter 85 Su Yi is powerful! Chickens and dogs ascend to heaven! secret meeting princess
  Now that the matter is settled.

Then start promoting the follow-up, starting with the training location.

"Your Majesty, this training location cannot be too far away from the capital. It can defend the capital at any critical moment because this new army belongs to the Emperor alone," Su Yi said.

Suddenly, the emperor's heart moved.

I had been hesitating before whether to practice it, but now that I have made up my mind, this sentence seems so important and beautiful.

Because this new army does not belong to the Eight Banners, nor does it belong to the Green Camp.

Su Yi was worried about encountering constraints, and was also worried that the old habit of passing the buck would appear in the future military expenditures and food supplies.

Therefore, it is said that this army belongs to the emperor alone.

This is actually against the rules, but now the Military Aircraft Department and the Ministry of War are unable to argue.

After all, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was the pinnacle of monarchical centralization. Once the emperor made a decision, the ministers were powerless to resist.

Although this army has not been trained yet, the emperor can't help but look forward to it.

An army that belongs to him alone is very exciting to think about.

Su Yi continued: "But this new army cannot be too far away from the capital, because there are heavy artillery and fast artillery. If they fire three times a day, I am afraid it will disturb the peace of the capital."

"So, it is best for this new army to be in Tianjin."

The emperor felt it was reasonable, and so did the ministers.

At this time, the small station did not exist yet, and even the Tianjin Racecourse Road had not yet been built.

"At present, the naval camp that is relatively intact in Tianjin is the naval camp. Since this dynasty, the Manchurian naval camp in Tianjin has been withdrawn three times. It has been abandoned for thirteen years and can be used for troop training." Su Yi said: "Of course, we are the army, and we are on the water. The division camp is somewhat unsuitable. Therefore, it is necessary to find another place in Tianjin to build a military depot. But time waits for no one, so the new army will first train in the old navy camp, and a new military depot will also be built together."

The emperor said: "Yes."

Su Yi said: "Because this is the emperor's new army, I ask the emperor to send a commissioner to take charge of military expenditures. The funds are earmarked for special use. There is no need for too much red tape or too many procedures."

The officialdom of the Qing court was too corrupt.

If this military expenditure goes to the Military Aircraft Department or the Household Department, God knows how much will be left in the hands of Su Yi.

But no one dared to deduct the emperor's money. If he said one million taels, it would be one million taels.

Su Yi is not corrupt, so at least for the time being, he will not get involved in financial power.

This money was managed by commissioners sent by the emperor.

Su Yi is responsible for issuing orders, and this commissioner is responsible for paying.

Eliminate all the intermediate links.

Of course, this is also against the rules.

However, the Holy Family is the greatest.

The emperor still said: "Accurate!"

Su Yi said: "In addition, the new army still needs a few important personnel."

"The first is recruitment, the second is logistics, and the third is culture."

The emperor said: "Recruitment and logistics are all clear. What is the meaning of the culture behind it?"

Su Yi said: "The new army not only needs to learn combat skills, but also needs to be literate and understand the culture, and know why it is fighting? Only an army that knows how to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic can be victorious in every battle, so it needs specialized cultural education officials to be responsible for the ideology of the new army. educate."

The emperor said: "Okay, okay, this is good."

Then, the emperor asked: "Do you have any recommendations?"

Su Yi said: "I recommend Lord Chong'en's eldest son, Ting Ren, to be the general manager of the New Army's Education and Military Affairs Department. Waitabu, the head of the Household Department, will be the general manager of the New Army's Logistics and Military Affairs Department."

As soon as these words came out, Chongen shuddered slightly.

His son's future, this...is there now?
  Although he is the acting governor of Shandong, his official position has not yet been secured. He is just an acting governor, with a high rank and no real power.

So the eldest son Tingren is just doing odd jobs at Honglu Temple.

As for Waitabu, the eldest son of Minister of Military and Aircraft Ruilin, although he is already the head of the Ministry of War, his position is mediocre and not comparable to the official position nominated by Su Yi.

Being in charge of the logistics of the entire New Army, how much power does this give? And it is more in line with him as the head of the household department.

The emperor asked: "What about recruiting soldiers?"

Su Yi said: "The General Recruitment Office has no candidates for me."

Just kidding, even if there was a candidate, he said there was no candidate.

You have to occupy all the positions and let the emperor think what he wants.

Next, after the dynasty dispersed, the emperor recruited Su Yi to Sanxi Hall.

The monarch and his ministers chatted for a long time and finalized many things.

To put it bluntly, Su Yi suddenly had dozens of blank documents in his hand.

Two-thirds of the officials in the new army were determined by the emperor, but Su Yi had great recommendations.

One third of it belongs to Su Yi, and he can decide it with one word.

There are dozens of blank official statuses, the highest two are sixth-grade military attachés, and the lowest are ninth-grade military attachés.

What is power?

This is power.

This is what the saying goes, any dog ​​in the village can get mixed up in the establishment.

In other words, Su Yi could get a vacant official position just by filling in a name.

What kind of power is this?

You know, how many people in the world are donating officials now?
  There are even many candidates and Jinshi who are all in the rank of marquis.

Now there are four or five radishes and one pit.

Either spend a lot of money to buy a real one, or wait in line for several years, and maybe it will be your turn.

One of the assets of the Hunan Army was to sell officials.

The emperor gave Su Yi dozens of blank official positions, which also gave him this power.

It's such a bad habit, but it's also so cool.

The monarch and his ministers chatted for several hours until dark.

The emperor stayed with Su Yi for dinner.

This is a great kindness.

In the emperor's view, all the civil and military officials in the dynasty were opposed to it, and it was he, the emperor Qiangang, who decided this matter arbitrarily.

If this matter goes wrong, he, the emperor, will lose his face.

Therefore, the two were tied together.

And to be honest, this was the first thing the emperor was really directly involved in.

It is said that the emperor has great power, and indeed he has great power, and he can decide everything with just one word.

But there are almost no affairs that are truly directly involved.

Su Yi, on the other hand, wanted to increase the emperor's sense of participation and constantly make him invest in sunk costs.

This conversation directly came to the third quarter of Xushi, when Su Yi left the palace.

As he rode home, countless pairs of eyes stared at him, filled with infinite envy.

When he was a civil and military star, Su Yi only had an empty reputation.

But now, the real power is in hand.

A new star is rising.

..............................................................................

Su Yi had just returned home and was suddenly shocked.

There was a huge crowd of people in front of his house.

It was late at night, and a bunch of people were waiting in line to be summoned by Su Yi.

The gifts were piled directly at the entrance of the alley.

At least, carry it on your shoulders.

Large gifts can be pulled directly by horse-drawn carriage.

The noses of these people in the capital are all dogs.

Not long after the morning ended, they came over smelling the smell.

Dozens are missing!
  At least hundreds or thousands of people will come to grab it.

As soon as Su Yi appeared, countless people rushed over like a flood.

"Meet Master Su Yi."

"Greetings, sir."

"Good luck, Master Su Yi!"

"Brother Su Yi, I am Yanting. We are classmates in the Imperial College. Let's watch the master's wife take a shower together."

Damn you, uncle, if you can’t speak, just shut up.

But with the next words, Su Yi was stunned.

"Brother Su Yi, the teacher's wife you are peeking at is my mother."

For a moment, everyone looked towards that person.

The man quickly covered his face and ran away, what he just said accidentally came out.

I want to improve so much.

............................................................

There are two housekeepers in the Su He family. One is Su Lin, the old housekeeper.

The other one is Li Qi.

Two people have never been so prominent.

Everyone had a fawning smile and tried their best to stuff money into their hands.

Su He's family was in ruins, and Su Lin had never had such glory.

And Li Qi is a gangster who has always been looked down upon by others. Now he is being praised by countless people, and he seems to be in the clouds.

Su Yi had just entered the home.

Suddenly I saw a scene I was embarrassed to see.

Father Su He was taught a lesson by three people. He is obviously the eldest in the family, but he is managed like a child.

Tong Jiashi, Bai Feifei, and Su Quan.

"Remember, if someone asks you to go out to drink in the future, try to go as little as possible." Tong Jia said.

Bai Feifei said: "You can go, but don't get drunk. They all have ulterior motives."

Su Quandao: "The second brother is on errands for the emperor and is loyal to the king. We must not hold him back."

Su He's father was unconvinced and said: "How can you do this? This has never happened, is it interesting to give it to me?"

"Am I such a ignorant person? Even though I am confused on the surface, I am actually mentally very clear."

When Tong Jia saw it, none of the servants were there, they were all family members.

So, he grabbed Su He's ear and pulled it in.

"Next, Xiaoyi has to meet guests and talk about business. Don't be an eyesore here, Ama." Tong Jiashi dragged her husband away.

"What are you doing? What are you doing?" Su He said, "I am a fifth-rank official..."

Then, he was dragged away by Tong Jiashi involuntarily.

At this time, Waitabu and Tingren walked in.

Tong Jiashi quickly let go. She still had to treat her husband with dignity in front of outsiders.

However, it was a little late, Waitabu and Tingren had already seen it.

Su He didn't care very much and said majestically: "If you don't serve tea to the guests, you don't have any eyesight."

Tong Jia said: "Yes, Master."

Su He took the opportunity to sit down, rubbed his ears and said, "My ears are covered in frostbite and it's very itchy."

It's only been a few months and I'm already suffering from frostbite.

Tingren and Waitabu also knew what Su He wanted, so they hurriedly gave him a lot of praise.

He said that he was loved by many people in the yamen.

He said he had a good reputation among the bannermen.

Amma, the military minister in the family, talks about Uncle Suhe every now and then, and misses him very much after not seeing him for a few days.

Sure enough, Su He's father was immediately satisfied and waved his hand: "You guys talk, you guys talk, I have something else to do."

Therefore, although this father has a lot of shortcomings, he is actually very well-behaved and obedient.

............................................................

Su He left, and Su Quan and Bai Feifei also left.

Tingren and Waitabu knelt down directly.

"I've seen adults!"

"From now on, the two of us will only follow the leader's lead!"

These two people never expected that they would be promoted by Su Yi instead of being promoted by their father.

Su Yi said: "Two brothers, please stand up. From now on, the three of us will work together to overcome the difficulties."

"Creating a new army from scratch is like a road with blue threads. I invite two brothers to give everything they have."

After hearing the appointment, these two people were completely excited.

I can't wait to rush out to do errands immediately.

Ting Ren works as a handyman at Honglu Temple. He has nothing to do and a lot of rules.

Waitabu is in the household department and has a little bit of power, but he does a lot of dirty things. If he even wants to do something, his hands and feet will be tied up immediately.

The two of them had great ambitions, and it was really painful to waste time in the yamen day after day.

But now, it really feels like a dragon entering the sea.

Su Yi said: "Waitabu, you have to start making preparations next. You can select a group of people who are good at calculation and recruit them to your command. And start to inspect some military uniforms and quilt shops, as well as all the stores except guns and cannons." As for military supplies, we must start purchasing them as soon as the Emperor's money arrives."

"But remember one thing, the quality must be the best, the price must be moderate, and leave them a [-]% net profit. But here, we don't take kickbacks, and we don't pay a penny."

"Whoever dares to be greedy for more than one hundred taels will be beheaded directly!"

"Brother Tingren, the things on your side may not seem important, but in fact they are the most important. I have compiled a relevant education booklet, and I need you to refine it. You need to recruit some people who are unappreciated, slightly indignant, and have new ideas, but they are not qualified for the imperial examination. Scholars from all over the world should join. In short, we should have new ideas and be impassioned, not old-fashioned and rotten."

"The military's ideas are no less than guns and guns. From now on, the cultural education and entertainment activities of the new army will all be left to you."

Tingren said: "Sir, although I am in Honglu Temple, I have never done these things. I will try my best, but I am afraid that if I can't do it, it will delay your important event."

Su Yi said: "No one in this dynasty has done such a thing, and no one will do such a thing. Those Eight Banners and Green Camp either smoke cigarettes or gamble on Pai Gow every day, and their spirits are empty and depraved. What you have to do Things, like our new army, need to start from scratch.”

"You don't understand, it doesn't matter, I understand."

Then, Su Yi handed over several thick booklets.

"All the provisions are here, including military songs, military entertainment, and all the courses of the New Army's ideological education."

"You learn first, then teach the people below, recruit a cultural teaching team, and then educate the entire army."

Ting En bowed, took the books from Su Yi, and immediately started reading them eagerly.

The three of them talked until midnight.

............................................................

Next, Su Yi went to Yangwu Escort Bureau overnight.

Just got in.

Dozens or hundreds of people knelt down in unison.

"Greetings to the Commander-in-Chief!" 　　　　It's passed, it's been passed, I'm still not the Commander-in-Chief.

Su Yi saw dozens of young men present.

"You may have heard that I want to organize and train a new army. There are more than two thousand people in total. You are the first group of people I found."

"I have dozens of blank official statuses in my hand. The emperor has hundreds of blank official statuses. I also have the absolute right to recommend them."

"As long as I write my name on it, no matter what he did before, from now on, he will be an official!"

"From the sixth grade to the ninth grade, they are all available!"

As soon as these words came out, the dozens of escorts breathed rapidly and their blood boiled.

Official!

They don't dare to think about this life, the next life, and the next life.

Let alone officials, even the government officials on the road would hide away when they saw him.

They are the lowest people. Even if they think of going to heaven, they dare not think of being an official one day.

"If you want to be an official, you can!"

"Exchange for loyalty, exchange for ability."

"The capable go up, the mediocre go down!"

"Everything is based on the training results. After entering the new army, you will face assessments one after another."

"Those with top grades will be promoted, while those who are mediocre will even be kicked out of the new army."

"You have also heard that the salary of the new army is extremely high. The regular soldiers get three hundred taels of silver a month, the leaders get five taels, the sentry officers get [-] taels, the leaders get [-] taels, and the commanders get [-] taels."

Suddenly, the eyes of these escorts turned green.

Su Yi said: "Now the salaries of the Eight Banners and the Green Camp seem to be a lot, but you also know how much they actually get when they are given to you? And I will not deduct a single copper from my salary, and I will not drink a drop of soldier's blood. .”

"So, even as a regular soldier, your salary can easily support your family."

"I have a fate with you, but it does not mean that I am partial to you!"

"But after all, you are the first batch of soldiers I have found. I have great hopes for you. I hope that among you, there will be not only sixth-grade officers, but even fifth-grade, fourth-grade, third-grade officers..."

"I have dozens of official positions in my hands. I want to see how many of them you can take away."

"There is still some time before we go to the Tianjin Military Station. I will give you the drill manual in a moment. Starting from tomorrow, you will start practicing for me."

"I will come to Tianjin Military Station in the future. I hope you will not embarrass me!"

After that, Li Qi handed out the training manual.

Wang Tianyang and dozens of bodyguards kowtowed to Su Yi in unison.

"Willing to die for the commander in chief!"

After Su Yi left, the group of people still knelt on the ground and were unwilling to get up for a long time.

......................................................

"Black Bow, meet the master!"

Hei Gong, who had always been unruly, now kneeled on the ground with sixteen people.

Power is awe-inspiring.

Black Gong and others may seem rebellious and murderous, but they also have an absolute desire for power.

He learned martial arts and sold his goods to the emperor's family. Hei Gong had such good skills, but he rebelled because he couldn't sell them.

But now, he saw the hope of prosperity and wealth in Su Yi.

Su Yi said: "Hei Gong, you also know that I have dozens of official statuses in my hands. As long as you are willing, your name can appear on them."

"There are two jobs for you to choose. In the first job, you serve as my personal soldier captain and the law enforcement captain of the new army."

"The disciplines of the new army will be extremely strict. Anyone who violates eighteen of them will be punished by death!"

"And you are responsible for enforcing military law and are only responsible to me."

For a moment, Hei Gong was breathing heavily.

This, this is the power he dreams of.

Su Yi said: "Second copy, do you know Jin Yiwei?"

Black Gong trembled and said: "Slave...knows."

Su Yi said: "For the second job, you are still hiding in the dark and responsible for secret matters."

For a moment, Heigong stopped breathing.

In my mind, I thought of the Jin Yiwei from the previous dynasty, how majestic they were?

As for Su Yi's current status, he was far from worthy of a royal guard, and he didn't want to think about it.

Su Yi said: "Hei Gong, if you choose your first job, this official position will now have your name, and you will be directly a sixth-grade military attache."

"If you choose the second job, then this official position will not have your name, and you will need to continue hiding in the darkness."

"But I will privately appoint you as the General Manager of the Intelligence and Military Affairs Department, which is also the sixth rank. However, this official position cannot be made public now. This official position is only recognized by me for the time being!"

Hei Gong couldn't wait to say: "Master, this slave chooses the second option!"

The General Office of the Intelligence and Military Affairs Office sounds suffocating and majestic.

Then, he led sixteen people and kowtowed heavily again.

In fact, his forehead was pressed against Su Yi's shoes.

"From now on, in the sea of ​​swords and fire, I will serve my master to death!"

"If there is any disloyalty, I will die without a burial place!"

Su Yi said: "Okay, I will allocate a sum of funds to buy you advanced equipment and everything else."

"Master!" Hei Gong kowtowed and said, "I beg you, master, to use the [-] taels of silver that you were previously rewarded as the first batch of funds."

Now that there is a future in sight, Hei Gong only feels that the [-] taels of silver from before are becoming more and more hot and uneasy to hold.

Su Yi said: "There is no reason to take back the money I gave. But listen to what I say, find a way to send this money to your hometown, bring family members or good friends to the capital, and have children as soon as possible to spread the incest. Buying a house and property in the capital.”

"Since we have a bright future, we cannot let our family live a miserable life."

Heigong said tremblingly: "Master, as a slave, will my family come to Beijing..."

Su Yi said: "I still can't handle this matter?"

Hei Gong kowtowed and said, "As ordered, I and others will immediately bring my family and friends to the capital."

Su Yi said: "Bring in the uniform!"

Following the order, Li Qi took Liu Hongmei and Wang Shengnan to move in boxes one by one.

Su Yi said: "This is the first batch of military uniforms I made. There are sixteen sets in total. You guys put them on!"

Heigong and others couldn't wait to take their uniforms and enter the room to change them.

It's been quite a while.

Several people came out.

Look at yourself in the mirror.

Almost in disbelief.

This military uniform is so majestic and so chilling?

Too beautiful.

I wouldn't feel it if I wasn't wearing a military uniform, but once I put it on, I immediately feel a sense of power.

I feel that I am a powerful person, and I feel that I am a well-organized person.

Su Yi pinned the epaulets on the shoulders of the black bow military uniform.

Then, set the ruby ​​​​into his military cap.

"Heigong, from now on, you will be the chief officer of my Intelligence and Military Affairs Department."

A mysterious sense of ritual and sacredness came to my heart.

Heigong knelt down again: "I am willing to die for the commander-in-chief!"

Su Yi left, while Hei Gong and others were still kneeling on the ground.

Li Qi cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, Mr. General Office."

Hei Gong held Li Qi's hands and said, "Brother Li has a truly unlimited future when he is by his master's side. In the future, he must speak kindly for us in front of his master."

Then, Hei Gong handed over a banknote worth two hundred taels.

What a great handwriting.

Li Qi handed it back and said: "Master General Office, it's not that I don't give you face, it's the master's rule. You are not allowed to accept bribes. Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed!"

"Master General Office, as a little person, I would like to remind you and your brothers that your status will be different in the future, and many rules will have to be changed."

Hei Gong's face was red and his ears were red: "I understand, I understand. Thank you Brother Li for your advice."

Li Qi said: "In the future, when your brothers' families come to the capital, they will all be arranged by me. They will be taken care of properly."

Hei Gong bowed and said, "Then I'd like to thank Brother Li first."

In fact, Su Yi had already donated an official position to Li Qi.

However, if Li Qi had to wait for others to find out, he would not mention it on his own initiative, so he had to pretend to be more advanced.

Hei Gong and others escorted Li Qi far away from the door.

Hei Gong and others were unruly and unruly before, but they didn't notice Li Qi at all.

At this time, she had already begun to please him.

The charm of power can be seen in general.

After returning to the room, several people couldn't put it down for this uniform.

More than a dozen brothers, in unison, said to Hei Gong: "I have met the General Manager, congratulations to the General Manager!"

In his words, there was joy and envy.

Hei Gong faced the direction Su Yi was leaving, cupped his hands and said, "From now on, you and I, brothers, will die together for the commander-in-chief and seek wealth together."

Wait until you return to your room.

Look at yourself in the mirror, look at the epaulettes, look at the ruby ​​on the official hat.

Hei Gong couldn't bear it any longer, covered his face and cried silently.

Finally the day has come!

His dream back then was just to become a yamen leader in the county.

But how many lives were spent? How much dirty work did you do?

Instead of becoming the leader of the yamen team, he was directly betrayed by the county magistrate. From then on, he embarked on the road of rebellion.

Who wants to rebel? Who loves rebellion?
  Isn't it because Song Jiang rebelled so loudly just to recruit people to become an official?

Today, I finally got what I wanted.

He transformed directly from a wanted rebel gangster to the sixth-level intelligence and military affairs general office.

Although this position cannot be made public for the time being, it was taught privately by Su Yi.

But Hei Gong simply chose to ignore this.

Since he was given a uniform and an official hat, then this is true.

Sixth grade, sixth grade! How high was the county magistrate that he tried so hard to fawn over back then? It’s only the eighth grade!
  Of course, the grades of civil and military officers had different gold content, so Hei Gong simply ignored them.

There was only one thought in his mind, I am a sixth-grade official!

Do you actually have such a good fortune? That day was really an eye-opener for him to meet such a master.

Hei Gong could see that his future master's future was more than just the head coach of the new army?

Look at Fu Heng, look at Fukang'an?

And the master is still the clan, so in the future Beizi, Baylor, and even the county king and prince may not be able to do it.

Looking at the majestic self in the mirror, Hei Gong hoarsely said: "Die in the service of the master! Die in the service of the commander-in-chief!"

............................................................

After Princess Shou'an's inflammation was cured, her condition quickly improved.

After that, she moved out of the palace and lived back in her own princess mansion.

Here, she feels much more free. After all, the palace has too many rules.

In the past few days, Su Yi was so busy that her heels hit the back of her head.

As soon as I returned home that day, there was a person waiting here. He was the eunuch of the princess mansion.

"Brother Su Yi, the princess wants to see you for something very important."

Su Yi was stunned, what important thing could Princess Shou'an have?

Then, he followed the eunuch to the princess' mansion.

Because he was a man after all, he was afraid of gossip, so he secretly entered through a side door.

At this time, Princess Shou'an was still lying on the bed.

But my body has improved a lot, and my energy and spirit have also improved.

She even applied a touch of rouge, making her whole body look beautiful.

The originally plump body lost a lot of weight after the injury, making it look even more outstanding.

Coupled with her noble status and the nobility and majesty she has cultivated for a long time, it is easy for people to have wild imaginations.

"You all get out," Princess Shou'an said.

"Yes!"

Suddenly, the princess and Su Yi were the only ones left in the room.

Princess Shou'an said: "Su Yi, I have called you here today for a total of two things."

"First thing, I heard that you are not married yet?"

Su Yi said: "Yes."

Princess Shou'an said: "So the first thing I want to do is to be a matchmaker for you. We Manchus don't like blind marriages, so we will let you two meet in a while, which can be regarded as a blind date."

Su Yi said: "Will that woman be here soon?"

Princess Shou'an said: "Yes, you two will meet at my place."

Then, Princess Shou'an said: "The second thing is that you have to train the new army. This matter is not only important to you, but also to the emperor. Now the whole court is waiting to see your joke. If you train the army If you fail, not only will you be embarrassed, but the Emperor will also be embarrassed."

Su Yi said: "I know."

Shou'an said: "Training soldiers requires a lot of money, and I have a gold mine in Mongolia and have saved a lot of private money. This hundred thousand taels of silver will be treated as a private sponsorship for you. Don't let anyone know."

Then, Princess Shou'an handed over a stack of banknotes.

Su Yi quickly refused: "No, absolutely no, how can I ask for the princess's money while I train soldiers?"

Between this push and push.

Su Yi missed.

I just feel soft and elastic in my hands.

By accident, he directly pressed his hand on Princess Shou'an's tall peak.

Suddenly, both of them were stunned and frozen.

At this moment, a stunningly beautiful girl rushed in and said happily.

"Fourth sister, what do you want from me?"

Note: This is the second update. My benefactor, do you still have monthly tickets in your pocket? Because I was worried about ruining my reading rhythm, I didn’t ask for monthly votes for individual chapters.

However, we really need a monthly pass, please.
