lied to Kangxi

Chapter 622
If Yuzhu said to fight, it would definitely backfire.

Because the old emperor was extremely suspicious, he would follow Yuzhu's attitude and find out the most beneficial key points for Yuzhu.

Was the emperor in 56 years in vain?

Yu Zhu shook his head and said, "Old man, the treasury's silver deposits are only enough for the Northwest War. Let's not fight in Dongwu for the time being, and focus on appeasement, right?"

The old emperor carefully looked at Yuzhu's expression, pondered for a long time, and then slowly said: "You take the new army and half a firearms battalion, take a boat to Qinzhou to land, and the logistical pressure will not be so great. .”

Good guy, Yuzhu understood in an instant, the old emperor understands everything!
Not to mention anything else, just the marching route mentioned by the old emperor already shows that the old emperor obviously understands the super mobility of the new army going south by boat.

Yuzhu stayed by the old emperor's side all the time, he was the one who knew the old emperor best, not one of them.

The Western missionaries around the old emperor have changed several times. He has some understanding of the military and technological development of the West, especially Europe.

It must be admitted that the old emperor was indeed a studious emperor, and he had a lot of modern scientific knowledge.

However, no matter how much the old emperor knew, he had a fatal flaw, namely: he was the emperor of the Manchurians, not the emperor of the Han people themselves.

Winning over all ethnic groups, especially the Mongols, and suppressing an unusually large number of Han people together was a basic national policy of the Qing Dynasty that was appointed by Shunzhi and fully accepted by Kangxi.

"It's too cold, why don't you send me out of Beijing?" Yu Zhu shook his head like a rattle, expressing his attitude that he didn't want to leave the comfort zone of the capital.

To be honest, the banner people in the capital are noble nowadays, unless they have to, who would like to go to the wild and plague-stricken land of the Southwest to suffer and suffer?
In the Qing Dynasty, the provincial capital of Guangxi Province was Guilin Prefecture, so Guangxi was also called Gui Province or Xiang Province for short.

Most of the Manchus have no historical background, so they don't know what Xiang province means?
The so-called Xiang Province is actually the first statement put forward by the Han officials, which means the Xiang County of the Qin Dynasty!

In the Qin Dynasty, there were three prefectures in the south of the Five Ridges: Guilin County, Nanhai County and Xiang County.

Among them, Xiangjun includes a part of Guangxi and the northern part of Annan.

To put it bluntly, the so-called Elephant Province is just a trick played by the Han officials of the Qing Dynasty, coveting Annan's territory of the Houli Dynasty with their mouths.

However, because of this obsession with talking, you Fukang'an once won a short-term victory during the Qianlong Dynasty.

However, soon, the Qing army was defeated by Ruan Hui.

It was this Ruan Hui who once sent an envoy to inform Qianlong face to face that the emperor was in charge of Lingbei, and Ruan Hui was in charge of Lingnan!
What do you mean, hey, after Ruan Hui defeated Fukang'an, his ambitions expanded to embezzle the two provinces of Guangdong and Guangxi in the Qing Dynasty.

So far, in Annan's history textbooks, Nguyen Hui is regarded as a national hero who fought against the northern captives for thousands of years.

In the eyes of Annan people, Ruan Hui's historical achievements in resisting the North and establishing the country are much better than that of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty!
Seeing that Yuzhu was really unwilling to lead troops to go out, the old emperor didn't want to go as he wanted, so he asked back: "If you don't go, do you want me to go?"

Good guy, the old emperor actually said you, which is obviously ironic.

Yuzhu lowered his head and muttered softly: "Aren't you afraid that your servant will be poisoned by miasma?"

The old emperor snorted and said, "I will order Bai Jin and the imperial physicians to go with you."

Come on, now that we've talked about it, if Yuzhu doesn't nod his head, he might really annoy the old emperor.

Perhaps because he was worried that the night would be long and dreamy, the old emperor immediately called Zhang Tingyu and ordered him to draw up a decree.

Holding the decree in his hand, Zhang Tingyu walked slowly to Yu Zhu, but his heart was full of mixed emotions.

So far, Zhang Tingyu, who has been promoted to be the minister of the Ministry of Rites and walks in the South Study Room, has already had excellent official luck.

However, it depends on who you compare with.If it was Yuzhu, Zhang Tingyu could only lament: "It's not as good as it is!"

"Yuzhu accepts the imperial edict!" Zhang Tingyu straightened his waist, and his mouth was full of Beijing movies, with a round accent and no Tongcheng accent.

Seeing Yuzhu knelt down, Zhang Tingyu unfolded the imperial edict and read aloud: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor's edict: Lord Yuzhu of Zhen Guo, pay homage to General Nan, give Baihong Saber, and control the military affairs of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces... I respect you!"

"Your servant Yuzhu, please give me an edict to thank you." After Yuzhu received the edict, she was secretly grateful.

If Yuzhu was a Hanchen, in Kangxi's later years, it would be absolutely impossible to have such a huge military power.

Regardless of whether it is Daiming or Daiqing, Yunnan and Guizhou provinces have always been disaster-stricken places because of the chieftains everywhere.

Therefore, the Qing Dynasty stationed [-] green battalions in Yunnan and [-] green battalions in Guizhou, making a total of [-] green battalions.

In addition, Yu Zhu brought over 10 troops from the capital.

Objectively speaking, since the San Francisco Rebellion, there has never been a Han official who has the possibility to master so many soldiers and horses.

It was the normal state of the Qing Dynasty that the banner ministers governed the army and the Han ministers governed the people.

Following the order of the old emperor, the household department and the military department were busy.

In fact, Yuzhu didn't have much to prepare for. He only needed to wait for the new army to return from the west, and he would lead the troops to Tianjin Wei's seaport and board a ship to head south.

Because Tianjinwei's seaport was the only foreign trade port in the north of the Qing Dynasty.Therefore, there is no need to worry about not being able to requisition large sea-going ships in the port wharf area.

The Xingyuan of the Great General Zhengnan of Yuzhu is located near the Hanging Terrace in Nanyuan.

Since the new army hadn't returned to the capital yet, Yuzhu actually didn't have much to do in Xingyuan, so he was very idle all day long.

On this day, just as Yu Zhu had finished his breakfast, he heard a report from his servants that Bai Jin asked to see him.

Bai Jin was born in Le Mans, France. He is not only a member of the French Academy of Sciences, but also one of the six missionaries sent to the Qing Dynasty by Louis XIV.

That year, Kang Mazi suffered from malaria and almost died.Fortunately, the two missionaries, Bai Jin and Zhang Cheng, found quinine, also known as Jinji Nashuang, and saved the old emperor's life.

No merit is greater than the Savior!
Therefore, among all the missionaries, the old emperor trusted Bai Jin and Zhang Cheng the most.

This time, the old emperor sent Bai Jin to go south to Yunnan and Guizhou with Yuzhu, and he was indeed full of love and love.

As we all know, whether it is the Dashangou in Yunnan and Guizhou or the jungle in Dongwu, it is indeed a place full of miasma and plague.

The old emperor was worried that Yuzhu might be accidentally poisoned by miasma, so he arranged for Bai Jin, who was proficient in Western medicine, to stay by his side.

Bai Jin has been in the Qing Dynasty for quite a long time.

As early as the 26th year of Kangxi, Bai Jin and other missionaries went to Ningbo Mansion in Zhejiang Province.

As soon as they met, Bai Jin made his request.

"General, the emperor has granted me a humble position. In my spare time, I can spread the gospel in the army." Bai Jin stood bowed in front of Yuzhu, his posture was very respectful, but there was a bit of aloofness in his bones.

Well, Yuzhu naturally knew that Louis XIV, the self-proclaimed Sun King, sent Bai Jin to the Qing Dynasty, and it was definitely impossible for him to be a volunteer.
