The Great Bandit in Kangxi Year

Chapter 95 When the Son of Heaven is angry, the corpse floats thousands of miles
For seven or eight days there was no news of the cavalry of the Xianglan Banner. The governor of Henan became a little anxious and thought to himself: "Tartars are just Tartars, and they don't pay attention to etiquette. I am in charge of the military and civil affairs of a province. Give the old man some thin noodles."

"Hey, no, with the speed of the iron cavalry, I'm afraid I've arrived at Shangcheng County long ago, and the bandits should have been wiped out long ago. Could it be that the bandits are stubbornly resisting?" The governor of Henan suddenly had a bad feeling.

Just sent Tan Ma out for a day, and received an urgent report from the governor of Guangzhou: "Thousands of cavalry have died, and black tigers and bandits have hid in the mountains..."

When the governor of Henan saw this, his eyes turned black, and he didn't know that the urgent report had slipped from his hand. It took him a long time to wake up, his underwear soaked in cold sweat, and he was angry at Zhizhou, a mediocre man, and worried about the emperor's wrath. After thinking about it, I didn't dare to delay reporting, after all, the black tiger bandits made too much noise.

Although the governor of Henan was determined to let the Zhizhou of Guangzhou take full responsibility, he was still worried. After all, it was a trivial matter that thousands of authentic Tartars died this time. Only then did he feel relieved, after all, the two of them recognized money but not people, and he still had some silver taels, the key was to keep this official position.

When the preparations were ready, a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry entered the capital together with the Babaili urgent memorial.

Kangxi waited bitterly, but he didn't want to, but he waited for the news that bandits killed officials and rebelled, and more than [-] warriors died in the Xianglan Banner.

"It's unreasonable, it's really daring!" Kangxi couldn't help being angry, smashed the exquisite porcelain cup on the red sandalwood table, and hurriedly called Mingzhu, Suo'etu, and Xiong Cilu to the imperial study to discuss the matter.

Kangxi stomped a few steps in the imperial study room, cursing to himself: "The governors and magistrates are all idiots. I have made it clear long ago that at critical moments, don't cause more troubles. If you can suppress them, you should suppress them, and if you can't suppress them, you should recruit them."

Hey, no, how could an ordinary bandit be the opponent of Manchu iron cavalry?

Kangxi picked up the memorial again and looked at it carefully, and when he saw "Kangxi's child, his face is full of pockmarks, and he is full of Qing cavalry, he is all useless." He kicked over the cases in front of him, and said angrily: Thieves, traitors, immediately send a large army to kill them."

"Ah, could it be the third prince Zhu's men or Wu Sangui's bribed forces?" Kangxi became suspicious, and fell on the dragon chair a little helplessly.

He estimated the strength of the bandit army in his heart, and if he could wipe out three thousand iron cavalry, he must not be an idler. Kangxi checked the map again, only to find that the bandits occupied a favorable location. It is difficult to defend and attack, it seems that only infantry can be used.

Thinking that the bandits who insulted the emperor were still at ease, Kangxi couldn't help but want to get angry.

At this moment, Mingzhu and others rushed over.

With a gloomy face, Kangxi threw the memorial in front of them, and shouted sharply: "Look, the governor of Henan really deserves death."

Mingzhu picked up the memorial first, glanced at it, and then passed it to Suo'etu.

After a while, Xiong Cilu took a peek at the furious Kangxi. Thinking of the situation of the Han people, he said cautiously: "The sage is holy, but now is the time for employing people, why not let the governor of Henan commit crimes and meritorious deeds?"

"A fool, what's the use of committing crimes and making meritorious deeds? I am going to assemble an army of [-], choose good generals, and wipe out this thief in one fell swoop, so as to avoid the trouble of raising tigers, just to deter all the thieves in the world!" Kangxi stood up violently, full of anger.

After all, Mingzhu and Suo'etu received a great gift from others. They looked at each other, and Suo'etu said first: "The sage is holy, but the northern provinces are short of troops, so where will they deploy the army? In case Wu Sangui rebels, the situation will worsen." It is urgent, and we must not lose the big because of small things, a few bandits are not worth mobilizing the army."

Kangxi sighed, calmed down a little, but still sternly shouted: "The capital still has more than [-] troops, and they will be dispatched from Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, Anhui and other provinces. Are the bandits of the Qing cavalry small bandits? Hmph!"

"What the Holy Majesty said is very true, but now the remaining party of the Third Prince Zhu has not been completely wiped out, so we can't lose sight of the other, please make a clear decision." Suo'etu was startled, knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

Although Xiong Cilu didn't understand why Suo'etu helped Minister Han speak, he felt relieved when he saw this, and simply watched with cold eyes.

"Your Majesty, I have a plan, you might as well give it a try." Mingzhu, who had been silent all this time, smiled secretly in her heart and said seriously.

Originally, Kangxi was about to get angry, but when he heard this, he sat upright and said: "Come quickly."

"Your Majesty, please see that this area is sandwiched between the three provinces. If you only attack one place, the bandits will flee everywhere, which will be very bad. Now you can choose a good general, and then order Henan, Anhui, and Hubei provinces to send [-] green battalions each. Soldiers, and provide food and grass nearby, attacking from three sides, will definitely make a contribution in one fell swoop." Mingzhu pointed to the map and said in high spirits.

"Okay, big second." Kangxi applauded immediately.

"It's a good plan. Hubei is fine. Henan, Anhui and other provinces will transfer more than [-] people. I'm afraid it's not appropriate." Suo'etu snorted a few times in his heart, and his words were not kind, thinking that he had miscalculated today.

Kangxi was also well aware of the situation in these two provinces. Seeing what Suo'etu said was reasonable, he nodded and said: "It is indeed a little troublesome, but now I am relieved. As long as the thief's way out is blocked, even if the thief has grown wings, he will not be able to escape." Can't escape my Five Fingers Mountain."

"Your Majesty is wise, I have a solution, let the governors of Henan and Anhui provinces recruit some more. Now that the world is united and everyone is willing to die for His Majesty, why worry about some thieves?" Proud, today he finally overwhelmed Suo'etu.

Kangxi's heart was very comfortable after saying a word, he leaned on the dragon chair calmly, and said calmly: "Okay, but do you have any good generals?"

Regardless of this kind of hard work, Mingzhu and Suo'etu immediately remained silent.

Immediately, there was some silence, Xiong Cilu cleared his throat and said: "My lord, I have a candidate, I wonder if it is possible?"

"Oh, who is it?" Kangxi realized that the three dog slaves were singing together, and even involved himself in it. He knew in his heart that it was not time to care about it, so he said calmly.

"Zhou Peigong, the head of the Sixth Section of the Procuratorate, has both civil and military skills, is upright and courageous, has extraordinary intelligence, is dedicated to his duties, and has a heart of serving the country. In addition, he lives in Macheng Town, Jingmen City, Hubei Province, and is quite familiar with the geography and human relations of this area. , will live up to the holy hope." Seeing the opportunity, Xiong Cilu hurriedly recommended that if the Han people want to get ahead, they must make great contributions.

"Is the fourth-rank official position too small?" Kangxi sighed. To be honest, he wanted to choose a suitable Manchu general, but he couldn't find it in a hurry.

Since the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, many of the Manchu Qing generals who were able to recruit and fight well died of illness or old age. Kangxi knew that this matter was of great importance. Under the circumstances of San Francisco's unknown situation, he must ensure the peace of other places. After thinking about it for a long time, Cai said flatly: "Tell Zhou Peigong."

After a while Zhou Peigong came over, he saw his face as usual, he was seven feet tall, his expression was as usual, his actions were not flustered, he looked like a general.

Xiong Cilu hurriedly explained the reason to him, and Kangxi saw that it was almost done, and asked, "If you are appointed as the general, how long will it take to wipe out this thief?"

Zhou Peigong made a calculation in his mind, and said calmly: "Report to the Holy Majesty, it will be a year late, and half a year soon."

Zhou Peigong's calm surprised all the ministers.

Kangxi was furious, "Bastard! Are you just letting me listen to your empty words?"

Zhou Peigong kowtowed to the ground, and said loudly: "Long live, Rong Chen has finished playing. This Black Tiger Village should not be underestimated. I have heard of the reputation of this village when I was in my hometown. Judging from the current situation, the number of thieves is at least over [-]. The key is the three provinces." The Green Battalion soldiers are all recruited from all over the place, good and bad are mixed, it takes time to adjust, besides, the ministers don’t know these bandits yet.”

"En." Kangxi leaned forward suddenly, "Speak on!"

"I'm afraid that the various ministries will not listen to orders, it will be difficult to gather food and grass, and the ministers will be humble, and I am afraid that I will miss the important event of the Holy One." Seeing this, Zhou Peigong said bluntly.

Xiong Cilu muttered to himself, Zhou Peigong really didn't know how to praise him, and he was still picking and choosing. If he offended the Holy One, I'm afraid...

"Hahaha, are you afraid they won't accept it? Alright, I will make the decision, Li Dequan, and Tianzijian will serve you!"

Li Dequan understood what he had heard early on, and walked in quickly, took out a sword with bright yellow tassels, and held it over with both hands.However, Kangxi stopped him with his hand, and turned to Zhou Peigong, "Are you still a fourth rank?"

Zhou Peigong hurriedly paused and said: "Once I receive this Emperor Sword, I will act on behalf of the heavens, and there is no rank or rank!"

"Mr. Zhou Pei has great aspirations!" Mingzhu, who was kneeling next to him, praised loudly, "I think Mr. Zhou Pei should be promoted to the third rank!"

"No, the second grade!" Kangxi said loudly, "Decree is passed, and Zhou Peigong is appointed as the general of bandit suppression, and he is given the title of servant, and he will be dealt with quickly according to the agreement!"

"Thank you Lord Long En, I will definitely die." Zhou Peigong couldn't calm down anymore, and said excitedly.

"Then order the world that whoever takes the head of the black tiger will be promoted to the third rank and will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold. Zhou Peigong must not disappoint my expectations. This traitor is also very bold. Try to catch him alive. I'd like to see who he is! By the way, today's incident must not be spread, arrest the governor of Henan and the prefect of Guangzhou immediately, if anyone dares to insult me ​​and the traitors of the Manchu Eight Banners again, no matter who it is, they will all be captured and killed."

Kangxi sneered, the emperor was furious, and his corpse floated for thousands of miles.

He didn't know that the more he tried to silence the people, the faster the news would spread.

"Zha!" Zhou Peigong hurriedly received the order, but broke out in a cold sweat. It really is a companion like a tiger, but if someone else assassinates Heihu, is he also guilty?
He was a little confused at once, while Mingzhu and Suo'etu sighed secretly, but they were smart people and would not offend Junwei at this time.

Zhou Peigong returned to his normal state in an instant. As long as the provinces can fully obey his orders, so what if there are [-] bandits?Thinking of the usefulness of what I have learned in my life, I feel energetic all over my body.
