Usurping the Qing Dynasty: My first love was Cixi

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 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 and food expenditures.

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 unable 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 Since this dynasty, the Manchurian naval camp in Tianjin has been withdrawn three times.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, so we need to find another place in Tianjin to build a military station. But time is running out. The new army will train in the old naval camp first, and the new military station will also be built together. "

The emperor said: "Yes."

Su Yi said: "Because this is the new army that belongs to the emperor, 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 and 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 does the culture behind it mean?"

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, Tingren, 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.

Therefore, the eldest son Tingren is now just doing odd jobs at Honglu Temple.

As for Waitabu, the eldest son of Minister of Military and Aircraft Ruilin, although he was already the head of the Ministry of War, his position was 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 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 attaches, 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 make it to the establishment.

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

What kind of power is this?

You know, how many people in the world are donating officials now?

There are even many people who have been promoted to Jinshi, and they 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 capitals 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 court were against it, and it was he who made the decision on his own.

If this matter failed, he would lose face as an emperor.

So, the two were tied together.

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

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

But there are almost no affairs that he is really directly involved in.

And Su Ye wanted to increase the emperor's sense of participation and keep him investing sunk costs.

This conversation lasted until the third quarter of the evening, and Su Ye left the palace.

During the ride home, I don't know how many pairs of eyes stared at him, full of infinite envy.

Before, when he was the civil and military double star, Su Ye was just a name.

But now, he has real power.

A new star is rising.

………………………………………………………………………………

Su Ye had just returned home and was shocked.

There were crowds of people at his door.

It was late at night, and a bunch of people were waiting in line for Su Ye's summons.

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

The smallest ones were carried on shoulders.

The larger ones were pulled by carriages.

The noses of these people in the capital were all dog-like.

They came here just after the court was dismissed.

There were dozens of vacancies!

There would be at least hundreds or thousands of people coming to grab them.

As soon as Su Ye appeared, countless people rushed over like a tide.

"Greetings to Lord Su Ye."

"Greetings to the Lord."

"Good luck to Lord Su Ye!"

"Brother Su Ye, I am Yan Ting. We were classmates in the Imperial College. We watched the master's wife take a bath together."

Fuck you, shut up if you can't speak.

But the next sentence made Su Ye stunned.

"Brother Su Ye, the master's wife you peeked at is my mother."

Suddenly, everyone looked at that person.

The man quickly covered his face and ran away. He accidentally said it just now.

I want to make progress too much.

……………………………………………………

Su He’s family has two housekeepers, one is Su Lin, the old housekeeper.

The other is Li Qi.

The two have never been so prominent.

Everyone put silver into their hands with a flattering smile.

Su He’s family is a poor family. How could Su Lin have such glory?

And Li Qi is a gangster. He has always been looked down upon. At this time, he was praised by countless people. The whole person seemed to be in the clouds.

Su Ye just entered the house.

He immediately saw a scene that he was embarrassed to see.

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

Tong Jia, Bai Feifei, and Su Quan.

"Remember, if someone asks you to go out for a drink in the future, try to go less." Tong Jia said.

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

Su Quan said, "My second brother is working for the emperor and is loyal to the king. We must not hold him back."

Su He's father was not convinced and said, "How can you do this? What's the point of using something that hasn't happened?"

"Am I such an ignorant person? Don't look at me as a muddleheaded person, but I'm actually very clear-headed."

Tong Jia saw that the servants were not there, and they were all family members.

So, she grabbed Su He's ear and pulled him inside.

"Next, Xiao Ye will meet guests and talk about business. You, my father, should not be an eyesore here." Tong Jia 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 Jia involuntarily.

At this time, Huai Tabu and Ting Ren walked in.

Tong Jia quickly let go. In front of the outsiders, she still had to give her husband enough respect.

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

Suhe didn't care much, and said majestically: "Why don't you serve tea to the guests? You have no sense at all."

Tong Jia said: "Yes, master."

Suhe took the opportunity to sit down, rubbed his ears and said: "My ears have frostbite, it itches very much."

It's only a few months now, and he has frostbite.

Tingren and Huaitabu also knew what Suhe wanted, and quickly praised him.

He said that he was loved by people in the government.

He said that he had a good reputation among the bannermen.

The military minister in the family mentioned Uncle Suhe every two or three days. He missed him very much after not seeing him for a few days.

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

So, 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.

Ting Ren and Huai Tabu knelt down directly.

"Meet the Lord!"

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

These two people never thought that they were not promoted by their father, but by Su Ye.

Su Ye said: "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 building a new road from scratch. Please give your all, brothers."

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

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

Tingren 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." We must start purchasing military supplies 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 15% 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 killed 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. In short, we should have new ideas and be impassioned, not old-fashioned and rotten.”

"The thoughts of the army 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 I will not be able to do it and 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 walked in the door.

Dozens or hundreds of people knelt down in unison.

"Meet the Marshal!"

It’s passed, it’s been passed, I’m still not a handsome man.

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 his 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.

Not to mention 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 ones go up, the mediocre ones 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 receive three hundred taels of silver a month, the leaders receive five taels, the sentry officers receive 20 taels, the leaders receive 100 taels, and the commanders receive 300 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 can you actually get? And I will not deduct a copper from my salary, and I will not drink a drop of soldiers' 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.

"I am 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.

Learning civil and martial arts, selling goods to the emperor, Heigong rebelled because he couldn't sell his skills.

And now, he saw the hope of wealth and glory from Su Ye.

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

"There are two jobs for you to choose. The first one is that you will be the captain of my personal guards and the law enforcement captain of the new army."

"The discipline of the new army will be extremely strict. If you violate 18 of them, you will be beheaded!"

"And you will be responsible for enforcing military law and only answer to me."

Suddenly, Heigong's breathing became heavy.

This, this is the power he has always dreamed of.

Su Ye said: "The second one, do you know Jinyiwei?"

Heigong trembled and said: "Slave...know."

Su Ye said: "The second job, you will still hide in the dark and be responsible for secret matters."

Suddenly, Heigong's breathing stopped.

The Jinyiwei of the previous dynasty came to mind. How majestic?

As for Su Ye's current status, he was far from being worthy of the Jinyiwei, so he didn't want to think about it.

Su Ye said: "Hei Gong, if you choose the first job, this official position will have your name on it now, and you will be a sixth-rank military officer directly."

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

"But I will privately appoint you as the General Manager of the Intelligence and Military Affairs Department, which is also the sixth rank, but 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, I choose the second one!"

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

Then, he brought sixteen people and kowtowed again.

Even, his forehead was pressed against the upper of Su Ye's shoes.

"From now on, I will die for my master, no matter how hard it is!"

"If you have any disloyalty, I will kill you without a burial place!"

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

"Master!" Hei Gong kowtowed and said, "I beg you to use the 20,000 taels of silver you gave me as the first batch of funds."

Now that there is a future in sight, Hei Gong feels that the 20,000 taels of silver he received before are getting hotter and hotter, and he is getting more and more uneasy.

Su Ye said: "I have never taken back the money I gave. But listen to me, find a way to send this money to my hometown, bring my family or lover to the capital, have a baby as soon as possible, and buy a house and property in the capital."

"Since there is a future, I can't let my family live a hard life."

Hei Gong trembled and said: "Master, but my identity is that my family will go to the capital..."

Su Ye said: "Can't I handle this matter?"

Hei Gong kowtowed and said: "Yes, I will bring my family and lover to the capital immediately."

Su Ye said: "Bring in the uniforms!"

With an order, Li Qi brought Liu Hongmei and Wang Shengnan to bring in boxes one by one.

Su Ye said: "This is the first batch of military uniforms I made, a total of 16 sets, you put them on!"

Hei Gong and others couldn't wait to take their uniforms and go into the room to change.

It took a long time.

A few people came out.

Looking at themselves in the mirror.

Almost unbelievable.

This military uniform is so majestic and so solemn?

It looks so good.

I didn't feel it when I didn't wear the military uniform, but once I put it on, I immediately felt a sense of power.

I felt that I was a powerful person, and I felt that I was a regular employee.

Su Ye pinned the epaulettes on the shoulders of Hei Gong's military uniform.

Then, he embedded the ruby ​​on his military cap.

"Hei Gong, from now on, you are the general manager of my Intelligence and Military Affairs Department."

A mysterious sense of ritual and sacredness surged in my heart.

Hei Gong knelt down again: "I am willing to die for the Marshal!"

Su Ye left, and Hei Gong and others still knelt on the ground.

Li Qi bowed and said: "Congratulations, General Manager."

Hei Gong held Li Qi's hands and said: "Brother Li has a bright future when he is by the master's side. In the future, you must say a few good words for us in front of the master."

Then, Hei Gong handed over a silver note, a full two hundred taels.

What a big deal.

Li Qi handed it back and said, "General Manager, it's not that I don't give face, it's the master's rule that bribes are not allowed, and those who violate the order will be executed!"

"General Manager, as a small person, I also remind you and the brothers that your status will be different in the future, and many rules will have to be changed."

Hei Gong blushed and said, "I understand, I understand, thank you brother Li for your advice."

Li Qi said, "One day, when the families of the brothers come to the capital, leave them all to me to arrange, and I will definitely take care of it."

Hei Gong bowed and said, "Then thank you brother Li first."

In fact, Su Ye has donated an official position for Li Qi.

It's just that Li Qi will not mention it on his own initiative if he wants to wait for others to find out. If you want to pretend, you have to pretend to be more advanced.

Hei Gong and others have been sending Li Qi far away from the door.

Before, Hei Gong and others were unruly and did not take Li Qi seriously at all.

But at this time, they have begun to please him.

The charm of power is obvious.

After returning to the room, several people couldn't let go of the uniform.

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

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.

This day has finally 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 that Song Jiang rebelled so loudly just to recruit 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 Heigong 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? It was an eye-opener for God to let him meet such a master that day.

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 imagine her.

"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, you will not only be embarrassed, but the Emperor will be embarrassed as well.”

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 and said: "No, absolutely no, how can I ask for money from Her Royal Highness for my military training?"

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.
