Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 542

The thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother expected it well. On April [-]th, Kangxi issued an order to prepare soldiers for the West Road in Guihua City, where the Eight Banners were stationed on the right outside the mouth.

In addition to the [-] soldiers drawn from the Eight Banners of Guihua Youwei, there were also thousands of soldiers from each of the Eight Banners of Mongolia, Chahar, Erut, and Barhu, who also went to Guihua City.In addition, there are [-] Mongolian Ordos soldiers, [-] Alashan Beile Abao soldiers, and [-] Tumed Two Banner soldiers.

Except for the [-] Manchurian soldiers led by General Fei Yanggu, all of the above soldiers were commanded by the Eight Banners Mongolian capitals and Mongolian princes from various tribes.

The third-class public Fu Erdan, who had already been dismissed as the minister of the bodyguard, also had the post of the Mongolian capital of the Zhengbai Banner, and this time he happened to be one of the generals leading the army.

In addition to Fu Erdan, Alashan Ah Bao Le Cao Yong also knew each other.

In the summer of the year before last, after receiving the "Dangsang Wangbo" from Outer Mongolia under the orders of the Holy Spirit, the last place where he was placed was Regesumu Guanbu, the family temple of Abaile in Alxa.

Abao's son, Ngawangdorjibai, practiced Buddhism under Tangsang Wangpo's door. I don't know if it is his blessing.

The Manchurian soldiers of the right guard and the Chaha soldiers were allotted by the Ministry of War to eat rice and food for June.

In addition, Kangxi also decreed that the factory horses and camels of the Eight Banners Ranch would be handed over to the Eight Banners Zuo Ling for tethering, and money and food would be distributed as usual.

This is a posture of preparing for war, because it is mentioned in the imperial decree that although it is annoying and difficult now, it will be beneficial in the future. .”

Cao Yong still couldn't be idle, and took the heads of the car driving department to count the horses that could leave the factory in Baqi Ranch this year.

At dusk, all kinds of water in the account books were squeezed out, and the figures obtained were 910 four horses and 790 camels.

According to the number of Eight Banners Zuo Ling, each Zuo led [-] horses.The number of camels is limited, and there is no way to send them to the leaders of the banners, so they are fed by the Eight Banners.

Zuoling is the Han name of Niulu Zhangjing in Manchu.Niulu is the basic household registration unit of the Eight Banners. As early as in Nurhachi, [-] Ding was set as a Niulu.

In the Eight Banners stationed in Beijing, the official position of Zuo Ling is under the Shen Ling; in the Eight Banners stationed in Beijing, the official position is under the Xie Ling.They are all four grades, mostly hereditary, in charge of household registration, military registration, litigation and other matters in peacetime, and leading officers in wartime.

From Cao Yong's great-grandfather, the Cao family had the post of Baoyi Zuoling, which was later passed on to Cao Yong's grandfather Cao Xi, and then to Cao Yin.

In the 48th year of Kangxi, the Cao family carried the flag from Zhengbai Banner to Zhengbai Banner, and their previous duties were taken over by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

On the Manchurian Banner side, Zuo Ling is hereditary.Even if the incumbent made a mistake and was dismissed, the brothers and clansmen would make up for it.It is not easy for the Cao family to intervene.

Zuo Ling's job in the world has been delayed like this.

It wasn't until Cao Yin went to Beijing that Kangxi had people draw [-] Ding from the breeding population of Zhengbai Banner to become Yi Niu Lu alone, with Cao Yin serving as the assistant leader.

After Cao Yong finished these numbers, he thought of Brother Thirteen's determination yesterday, and he was also a little worried.Brother Fourteen, Naersu and the others, when they mentioned the general Fei Yanggu who was on standby in Guihua City, they were all envious.

Although the pronunciation is similar, this Fei Yanggu is not the famous Fuyuan General in the Kangxi Dynasty, nor the Fei Yanggu who once served as the Minister of Internal Affairs.

The two Fei Yanggu, the former surnamed Dong E, was the son of third-class Bo E Shuo, the younger brother of Shunzhi's favorite concubine Dong E, who died of illness in the 40th year of Kangxi; .

This time, Fei Yanggu, who was ordered to lead the Eight Banners of the Right Guard and the Mongolian soldiers to assist Hami, belonged to the clan. In the early years, it was an idle clan.

In his early years, he served as the commander of the guard army. When he pacified Galdan, he served as a military counselor and accompanied General Fei Yanggu of Fuyuan in the battle.

It's okay to call someone else, a yellow belt prince, so highly valued, leading an army alone, how can it not make the fourteenth elder brother and Na Ersu, who are keen on military affairs, the dignitaries who are keen on military affairs?
I don't know where I got the news, it is said that Kangxi will transfer the Eight Banners soldiers from the northeast to serve as the third route army.

This is not nonsense. When Galdan rebelled in the early years, today Shang Yujia took charge of the government. In addition to the central army led by him, there were Heilongjiang generals who sent troops to the east, Fei Yanggu sent troops to the west, and three troops.

As a result, Elder Fourteen, Na Ersu and the others couldn't sit still anymore, they all wrote a call for war and went to Changchun Garden.

Under Cao Yong's persuasion before, Naersu alienated the fourteenth elder brother without a trace.Now because of the war, the two entered and exited at the same time, and the relationship seemed to be a bit closer than before.

Cao Yong looked in the eyes, secretly worried.

However, there are too many people in the yamen, and it is not a place where you can talk. It seems that you have to go to the Prince's Mansion in Pingjun.

If it is classified as the "Fourteenth Party", it will suffer for half a lifetime.

Cao Yong remembered that the fourteenth elder brother and the princes of the clan and kings all went to fight when the chaos in Tibet was quelled, but this time he didn't know how Kangxi would arrange it.

However, it is either the thirteenth elder brother or else, otherwise the thirteenth elder brother will not be silent until the fourth elder brother takes the stage.

Cao Yong expected well, but Kangxi couldn't sympathize with Thirteenth Brother's innocence.

Changchun Garden, Qingxi Bookstore.

Kangxi held in his hand the invitation letter sent by the thirteen elder brothers, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He squinted his eyes, remembering the time when Yu Jia was in charge and led the princes to conquer Galdan.

The eldest elder brother is the vanguard officer, leading the Eight Banners Firearms Battalion and the Eight Banners Vanguard Battalion first, the third elder brother is in charge of the Xianghong Banner camp, the fourth elder brother is in charge of the Zhenghong Banner camp, the fifth elder brother is in charge of the Zhenghuang Banner battalion, and the seventh elder brother is in charge of the Bordered Yellow Banner Daying and Ba Age are in charge of Zhenglan Banner Daying.

He is in the prime of life, and his sons spread their wings like young eagles, each with their hands and feet, and their morale is really like a rainbow.

At the beginning, he was very proud, thinking that he taught his son well.

Throughout history, there have been many dudes in the royal family.Most of the emperors and princes are virtuous and mediocre in a generation.

Like him, how many emperors are there in this world whose sons have all grown up?
However, the ensuing danger of running out of food made him aware of Suo'etu's scheming heart.It was only at this time that he began to feel jealous of the second elder brother.

Although he comforted himself that the second elder brother was sincere and filial and would not do anything about the second elder brother, it was mostly a villain who made his own decisions, but the seeds of suspicion were deeply planted in his heart.

After wind and rain, it finally grows into a towering tree.

The prince, who was trained by himself, secretly contacted the military officer of the Eight Banners stationed in Beijing, and could not escape the suspicion of "forced palace".

Brother Thirteen's invitation to the war was written with passion, but in Kangxi's eyes, it was like a letter of war.

Do those rebels want to take this opportunity to make trouble again?

Kangxi's face was gloomy, and he slammed Brother Thirteen's book on the imperial case.

Wei Zhu just came in to do business, and when he heard the sound of "pat", he couldn't help trembling, stopped and bowed and said, "I want to report to the Lord Long Live, the fourth elder brother is ordered to see you, the fourteenth elder brother and King Pingjun are Pass the sign and see you."

When Kangxi heard this, he couldn't help frowning, then nodded and said, "Brother Xuansi, come in!"

"Hey!" Wei Zhu responded, bowed and backed out.

For a while, the fourth elder brother came in with Wei Zhu, stood still a few steps away from the royal case, lifted his front skirt, knelt down, and said: "My son Yinzhen has ordered to see you, and the emperor's mother is auspicious."

Kangxi didn't shout immediately, but glanced at Thirteen Elder Brother's papers on the imperial case, thought for a while, and said, "Old Thirteen sent someone to write papers, do you know?"

The fourth elder brother was neither humble nor overbearing, and said calmly: "My minister knows what the emperor said. The news I got this morning is full of enthusiasm. Although it is a bit reckless, it is a loyal and patriotic heart after all."

Kangxi sneered, picked up the booklet on the imperial case, threw it in front of the fourth elder brother, and said with a frown: "Tell him my oral order, so that he can rest assured to 'recover'. Come to him to show your loyalty..." At this point, seeing a pine inkstone on the imperial case, he signaled Wei Zhu who was standing by to pass it to the fourth elder brother.

The fourth elder brother took the inkstone and was still a little puzzled, so he heard Wu Kangxi say: "This imperial inkstone was given by me. You tell the old thirteen, just tell me what I said, and let him copy the "Book of Filial Piety" first." Hundreds of times, to see what is the duty of a son of man."

These words were very serious, the fourth elder brother clenched his fists and bowed his head to agree, but he didn't feel like it in his heart.

If such a decree is spread, Elder Brother Thirteen will be designated as an "unfaithful and unfilial" person.The situation was already difficult, and I was afraid that it would be even more difficult in the future.

When Kangxi said such harsh words, he himself felt a little boring, waved his hands, and said in a deep voice, "Kneel down!"

The fourth elder brother agreed, holding the pine stone inkstone and the booklet of the thirteenth elder brother, and retreated.

The fourteenth elder brother and Naersuhou were outside the study, their faces were full of excitement.

Seeing the fourth elder brother coming out with things in his hands, the fourteenth elder brother raised his eyebrows, his eyes fell on the folder in the fourth elder brother's hand, and said: "Fourth elder brother, is it necessary to move? It looks like a good inkstone."

The fourth elder brother smiled, but didn't answer, turned around, looked at Ne Ersu, and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, I heard you are busy now?"

Na Ersu only felt that the fourth elder brother's eyes were extremely cold, which made people feel fearful.

Naersu thought of Cao Yong's warning, and then thought about his words and deeds in the past few days, and could not help but be vigilant.

"My nephew is paying my respects to my fourth uncle, and my nephew is also looking forward to following the bloody battles of my ancestors. I have been in a hurry these two days. I also know that my fourth uncle is busy with errands, so I should have gone to pay my respects earlier." Naersu replied respectfully road.

Seeing Neersu's respectful demeanor, the fourth elder brother felt a bit less unhappy, looked at him and felt kind, with a warm demeanor, and said: "It's good to have this thought, I'm busy, I don't care about these vain courtesy."

The fourteenth elder brother was on the side, watching the conversation between the two, feeling quite strange in his heart, he couldn't help frowning, and let out a low "cough".

The fourth elder brother nodded at the fourteenth elder brother, and strode away.

The fourteenth elder brother stared at the fourth elder brother's back, his expression became solemn.

After a long while, Wei Zhu came out and replied: "Long live Lord said, I'm a little tired today, I'll accept the booklet first, please go back first."

It's really coming in high spirits and returning in disappointment.

Brother Fourteen wanted to see Kangxi earlier, so he didn't go back to the palace, but stayed in the garden directly.

Naersu, who was tall by himself, hurried back to the city with his bodyguard and long entourage.

Could it be that I got too close to Brother Fourteen?
Neersu thought of Cao Yong's warning before, and then thought about the sharp eyes of the fourth elder brother, and he was very panicked.

After returning to the mansion, a person in charge stepped forward and said: "Master, Uncle Cao is here and is waiting in the flower hall. Master Fujin is talking with him."

Hearing this, Naersu couldn't help but put a smile on his face.It is really hard to say who is the elder and who is the younger brother?

In terms of age, Cao Yong is three or four years younger than him, and he also loves Cao Yong's younger brother in his heart.

When it comes to talking seriously, Cao Yong has sharp eyes and unique insights, which makes people have to be serious.

When I walked to the entrance of the flower hall, I heard Cao Jia's hearty laughter: "I can't blame my mother for keeping it a secret. Seeing my father's posture is a great joy. I am afraid that it will be publicized in a few days... ..."

"What a happy event, let me tell you about it?" Naersu asked with a smile.

Cao Jia was sitting on the kang talking to her younger brother from afar, when she saw her husband coming back, she stood up to greet her and said, "Didn't the Lord tell people that he would come back later? Didn't you have dinner? Brother Yong just came out of the yamen to make a bed." I took two bites."

Cao Yong also got up from his seat and looked at Naersu, not knowing what to say for a while.

Seeing the stubbornness of Brother Thirteen, Cao Yong really doesn't have much confidence in his persuasion ability.

Cao Jiashi has been in her body for nearly four months, and she is a little pregnant.Naersu supported his wife's shoulders and let her sit on the edge of the kang, then smiled at Cao Yong: "Brother Yong, sit down and talk..."

North Street, outside the Shilang's Mansion.

Zhao Jia came out with his head raised, and Wu Ya sent it out in person, with an embarrassing face, not knowing what to say.

Cao Shuo followed behind, but his face was pale, and he lowered his head to hide his fatigue.

Walking in front of the carriage, Mrs. Zhao Jia stopped, turned around, and said to Mrs. Wu Ya: "Sister-in-law, their children are messing around, but we parents know the seriousness. How can we be trifling with such a big marriage? Then Didn't it ruin the rest of the two children's lives? I'll go back today, and I'll come back tomorrow, even if my brother and sister-in-law blame me, I'll have the cheek to pick up my daughter-in-law..."

Wu Yashi hesitated for a moment, and finally asked: "Grandma, it's not that I'm troublesome, but it's about Ruhui, so I have to ask a question. I heard that there is a girl in my son-in-law's house who I love very much. I don't know her. Now..."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jia glared at Cao Shuo, who was next to him, and then said to Wu Ya: "What do you love so much? She deserves it too! It's just a bitch who is old and has a heart! Good man, it's really hateful to have their dirty hoofs broken by abduction. I've already sent everyone out, so my sister-in-law doesn't have to worry about it."

After hearing this, Wu Yashi nodded slightly, and said: "This is how everyone behaves. There is no reason to ask the servants to climb on the head of the master. Let me just say that the son-in-law is a good-natured person. If no one provokes, Xiao The two of us can't fight like this."

"Yes, yes, sister-in-law is the one who understands!" Excited, Zhao Jia stretched out his hand to grab Wu Ya's arm, and said, "My brother is annoying me, and I want sister-in-law to speak for me about Xiang Cai. good."

When mentioning her husband, Wu Yashi was a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid he blamed his aunt to three parts, and Ru Hui to seven parts. These days, he has practiced the family law, and he has given Ru Hui a lot of trouble." While speaking , with a bit of distress.

Zhao Jia's expression froze, and he said, "Ruhui is still young, so there's nothing to be surprised about, brother really is."

The sister-in-law and sister-in-law were silent for a while, and some didn't know what to say.

Zhao Jia looked at the sky and saw that it was getting late, so he said to Wu Ya: "Sister-in-law, I'll go back first and come back tomorrow."

Wu Yashi thought about her daughter's resolute attitude these two days, she didn't intend to change her words at all, and she was afraid that the persecution would be too much and something would happen, so she hurriedly said: "Grandma, listen to me, don't wait for the sky, let the child calm down for two days. No matter how hard your brother and I try to persuade you, if there is news in two days, it will be appropriate to write to you."

Mrs. Zhao Jia hesitated for a while, knowing that there was no other way, she nodded with a smile, and said, "Since that's the case, I will trouble my sister-in-law. Then I will wait for news from my sister-in-law."

Wu Yashi nodded, Zhao Jiashi helped the servant girl's hand and got into the carriage.

Cao Shuo leaned over in front of Wu Yashi, got on his horse and protected Zhao Jiashi's carriage back home.

Wu Yashi watched their carriage drift away, and then turned back to the house, but there was no smile on his face.

The husband is stubborn, and the daughter is like eating a weight. It is really not easy for the children to continue the broken marriage...
