lied to Kangxi

Chapter 555 White Deer Plain

There are three towns in the green battalion in Shaanxi, namely Yansui Town Zongbing, Xinghan Town Zongbing and Shan'an Town Zongbing.

These three commanders-in-chief were all under the jurisdiction of Pan Yulong, the admiral of Guyuan.

The Admiral of Guyuan, that is, the Admiral of Shaanxi, is the highest official of the Green Battalion in Shaanxi Province, directly under the jurisdiction of Nian Gengyao, Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu.

However, the full title of Yuzhu's official title is: governor of Shaanxi and other places, applauding military affairs, controlling towns, and managing food and pay.

Because the military rank of admiral was not added, Yuzhu could only manage the level of three general officers, but could not control the admiral of Guyuan.

However, the title on Yuzhu's head is particularly powerful.He was the first governor in this dynasty to hold the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of War and the title of Zuodu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so he has the right to control Pan Yulong, the admiral of Guyuan.

Minister of the Ministry of War, also known as Ben Bing.According to the rules, the governor of the Ministry of War, who is held by a Manchurian Bannerman, naturally has the power to control the green camp soldiers in Shaanxi Province.

What's more terrible is that Yuzhu is still acting as General Xi'an.

According to the military system of the Qing Dynasty, in an emergency, the Eight Banners garrison generals have absolute authority to mobilize the green camp soldiers in the province.Conversely, no matter what the circumstances, the admiral of the Green Battalion could not mobilize any Eight Banners soldiers.

Yu Zhu came with 8000 new troops and 3000 firearms battalions, and there are more than 3 elite Eight Banners soldiers under his command, and more than [-] soldiers from the third battalion under the direct control of the Green Battalion. This is a small [-] people .

Although the total force under his control was far inferior to that of Nian Gengyao, it was enough for Yuzhu.

Regardless of the fact that Nian Gengyao has more than 8 green battalion soldiers under his command, the mobile force that can really be mobilized at any time is no more than [-].

And Yu Zhu's subordinates are all mobile soldiers with extremely fast reaction speed, which has an overwhelming advantage.

From a strategic point of view, the Qing Dynasty wars during this period were mainly concentrated in snowy areas.

Because the Junggars attacked Xueyu very cunningly and killed Lazang Khan.

Yuzhu knew it well, according to the old emperor's plan, once something happened in the snow region, he would definitely attack the Junggar people in two directions: Sichuan and Qinghai.

Nian Gengyao had been in the Northwest much longer than Yuzhu, and he was also the justifiable governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and a bannerman of the Han army.

As long as they are bannermen, regardless of Manchu and Han, they are all the old emperor's own people.

In this way, when it comes to wartime, there is a high probability that Nian Gengyao will lead troops into Qinghai.

Because, Nian Gengyao openly broke his face with Yu Zhu.In the future Qinghai War, the old emperor would definitely not let Yuzhu intervene in the transportation of logistics, rations and salaries.

If Yu Zhu did something secretly, Nian Gengyao might die without a place to bury him.

That is to say, Yuzhu only needs to transfer the grain from Henan to Shaanxi, and after it is successfully sent to the warehouse in Xining, it is considered to have completed the task.

As for the transportation of grain from Xining to Qinghai, and then into the snowy region, Nian Gengyao should have the final say.

This kind of situation is actually quite in line with Yuzhu's intention.

Because, Yu Zhu knew better than anyone else that the soldiers and horses sent by Cewang Allah Butan to attack the snow region were actually just a partial division, at most there were more than 6000 people.

If it was just the governor of Shaanxi, Yuzhu would have nothing to think about.

But the problem is, Yuzhu is still acting as General Xi'an.

Is there any reason for the Manchurian generals stationed in the garrison to sit back and watch the bannermen of the Han army make military achievements?
This gave Yuzhu enough reason to make a fuss against the old emperor!
Nian Gengyao is not only not stupid, but extremely smart.

After falling out with Yuzhu on the street, it will be difficult for Yuzhu to hold Nian Gengyao back in logistics in the future Northwest War.

Just when Nian Gengyao was actively preparing for the war, Yuzhu calmly summoned the generals of the Fubiao Chinese Army.

Under the governor of Shaanxi, there is the third battalion directly under Fubiao Zhongjun, headed by a general.

According to the practice, the governor is in charge of military affairs, and the governor is in charge of civil affairs. Under the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, there is also the fifth battalion directly under the supervision of the Chinese Army, headed by a lieutenant general.

In other words, Nian Gengyao's Supervising Biao Zhongjun had two battalions more Green Battalions than Yuzhu's Fubiao Zhongjun.

"Assess the general of the Chinese army, bid Luo Longwen, and kowtow to Yu Gongbao."

"That's all, there is no need to be so polite. Come, take a seat, and serve tea."

"Whoo."

After Luo Longwen sat down firmly, Yuzhu asked him: "I wonder how many soldiers and horses are under Brother Luo?"

Seeing Yuzhu's question, Luo Longwen quickly got up, and bowed down very politely, and said respectfully: "Returning to Mr. Gongbao, the subordinates under the bid are divided into three battalions, left, middle, and right. There are a total of cavalry soldiers. Five hundred and three, and one thousand three hundred and nine infantry."

"Well, if there is a case of empty pay, let me tell you now, the noble department will never convict. If it is deliberately concealed and perfunctory, once it is found out, it will not be lightly forgiven."

When a war is about to take place, Yuzhu must find out the real strength of the troops he has in hand.

Otherwise, sending three battalions of soldiers and horses out to suppress the bandits, but only 500 people were actually dispatched, would be ridiculous!

Yuzhu has been in charge of military affairs for a long time, and he understands very well that even in the firearms battalion that the old emperor valued most, there are cases of empty pay.

It's just that the old emperor took it very seriously, and the Manchu ministers who led the troops only dared to pay the empty salary of one soldier out of ten soldiers.

However, the Green Battalion is different.Out of ten soldiers, three of them are paid empty, which is considered a very conscientious officer.

"This..." Luo Longwen broke out in a cold sweat, he never dreamed that Yuzhu would ask about his empty salary as soon as he met him.

Among the green battalion soldiers in Shaanxi these days, how can there be any generals who don't take empty pay?
Seeing that Luo Longwen was frightened, Zhou Quan, who was sitting by the side, smiled coldly and said, "General Luo, don't make mistakes. To tell the truth, Master Gongbao will never blame you. If you try to get away with it in vain, Hmph, as long as you gather and count immediately, you can lose your head, understand?"

Zhou Quan was an old fritter, and Luo Longwen was completely confused by his deceit.

In fact, even the old emperor knew that the generals of the Green Battalion were starving for nothing.

However, in line with the principle that when the water is clear, there will be no fish, and when people observe it, there will be no disciples. As long as there is no public trouble, even the old emperor simply pretends to be confused.

Why?

The law does not blame the public!
If we really want to pursue it seriously, I'm afraid that all the admirals, generals, lieutenants and generals of the green battalion will lose their heads.

Yuzhu didn't want to kill people to build his prestige, but wanted to find out the shortcomings, and then make up for the soldiers and strengthen training.

Luo Longwen has also been in the military circles in Shaanxi for 20 years, and finally climbed to the throne of general in the Fubiao Chinese Army.

It is no exaggeration to say that the matter of the Eight Banners garrison general and governor was unprecedented and unheard of before Yuzhu.

After only hesitating for a moment, Luo Longwen didn't dare to tell any more lies, so he had to bite the bullet and plead guilty, and said in a trembling voice: "Biaoxia dare not hide the truth from Mr. Gong Bao, there are actually more than [-] officials in the Fubiao Zhongjun."

When Yuzhu heard this, good guy, there are only more than 800 people in the Fubiao Chinese Army with more than [-] people.

It's just a fraction!
Moreover, among these 800 people, not all of them can shoot bows and knives.

Zhou Quan on the side couldn't help sighing secretly, Yuzhu really had the foresight to bring [-] new troops and [-] firearms soldiers to Shaanxi.

Otherwise, relying on these green battalion soldiers who are short and short, they might not be able to compete with Nian Gengyao for military merit!
"Brother Luo, since you have told the truth, the noble department has spoken first, and you will never blame you. What happened in the past is also in the past. However, from now on, if there is a vacancy, then think about it. Is your head safe?" After threatening for a while, Yu Zhu immediately ordered, "Go and call back all the old subordinates who can fight, and train them strictly. In addition, you are not allowed to eat empty wages anymore. Not one of them, understand?"

People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads!
With Luo Longwen's eight hundred courage, he dare not disobey Yu Zhu's order.

"Hey." Luo Longwen kowtowed heavily, obediently obeying.

Yuzhu raised his chin, and then told Zhou Quan: "Brother Zhusheng, from now on, the generals, guerrillas, garrison, commanders and generals of the Fubiao Chinese Army will be paid 300 taels of miscellaneous expenses by Fuya every month. It can vary from 50 taels to [-] taels. Well, there is no need to reimburse the money, it is up to you.”

"Yes." Zhou Quan quickly got up and took the order, and detailed the distribution criteria.

"Reporting to Dong Weng, the students think that 300 taels for the general, 200 taels for the guerrilla, 150 taels for the defense, 100 taels for the capital division, and 50 taels for the total. Please show me." It is Zhou Quan's job to check for omissions and make up for omissions, as it should be also.

"Yes!" Yu Zhu immediately made a decision.

After hearing this, Luo Longwen couldn't help but burst into ecstasy.You can get 300 taels of silver at your disposal without embezzlement, where can you find such a good thing?

"Thank you, Mr. Gongbao, for your compassion. Biaoxia is a rough man who doesn't understand too many principles. From now on, I will follow your orders, that's all." Luo Longwen knelt down at Yu Zhu's feet without hesitation.

Yu Zhu nodded, comforted Luo Longwen very gently, and asked Zhou Quan to accompany him personally, and let him have lunch together.

Since ancient times, as long as they are big men, without exception, they like to reuse the confidants around them.

For example, the Shanglinyuan Yulin Army before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took real power, the imperial guards around Kang Mazi, and so on.

Needless to say the logic in it!
After Zhou Quan led Luo Longwen out, Yu Zhu was about to go back to the back house when he suddenly received a warning of civil uprising.

"Lord Gongbao, near Xiehuji in Lantian County, there was a large-scale fight between the two surnames over water. Thousands of people gathered, and more than a dozen people died. I'm afraid the county will not be able to suppress it..."

After Yuzhu heard the news, he didn't dare to neglect at all, and immediately ordered someone to fetch the map of Shaanxi province that can only be seen by the officials of the frontier.

After letting go of the map, Yuzhu looked at it calmly and couldn't help but gasped.

Good guy, the place where people were killed by grabbing water is actually in the eastern outskirts of Xi'an Fucheng, about thirty miles away.

Near the provincial capital where the governor sits, there was a large-scale fighting incident.

If the bullets were not suppressed in time, and the censors in the court knew about it, Yuzhu would definitely have to eat bullets.

"Come here, pass on my order, all the new army must assemble!" Yuzhu gave the order to gather without hesitation.

"Whoo."
