My father is Yongzheng, and I am Qianlong?

Chapter 36 Old Ten Yin's Kindness
Hongli smiled brightly at this.

He was also worried that the zuoling assigned to him would not be one with a large population and abundant property.

It should be noted that not all of the thousands of lieutenants in the Eight Banners are real lieutenants.

The number of people and land owned by each zuoling has a lot to do with the management level of the hereditary zuoling, the population growth of each household under the zuoling, and the war losses.

Some captains, because they are capable and good at business management, have a large number of banner households under them, strong combat effectiveness, and own a lot of land and property.

However, there were also some captains who were corrupt and decadent, and only knew how to play with birds and listen to operas, which led to a large number of bannermen fleeing.

In many cases, the number of such zuoling is less than the actual number of zuoling, and even the bannermen under the zuoling are mostly old, weak, sick and disabled.

This is somewhat similar to the military households in the early Ming Dynasty.

Some garrisons still had complete combat capabilities, and even had a large population and developed industries.

In some garrisons, almost all the people fled.

Therefore, if Hongli was assigned a relatively inferior Zuoling, it might be almost the same as having no Zuoling at all. Even if he was assigned a Zuoling who was only old, weak, sick or disabled, it would be a burden.

Now, Yongzheng is going to keep an eye on it for him, which is naturally a good thing for him.

Ablan is the current Manchu governor of the Bordered Blue Banner.

Rodelkin is the current commander-in-chief of the Bordered Blue Banner Mongolian Army.

Tang Se is the current commander-in-chief of the Han army of the Bordered Blue Banner.

At present, the household registration management of each banner is under the charge of the governor-general.

The division of the zuoling was also requested by the commander-in-chief to the emperor.

That is why Yongzheng sent invitations to these three generals.

The commanders of each banner had a very high status in the Qing Dynasty. Sometimes, they were directly held by elders of the royal family.

For example, Ablan was a member of the royal family, his title was Duke of Fuguo, and he was a descendant of Guanglue Chu Ying.

Therefore, even though Yongzheng was a prince of noble rank, he had to give face to these generals and sent invitations to them.

Of course, Hongli believed that these generals would not really offend the cold-faced king Yongzheng.

As long as Yongzheng asked them to select enough reliable lieutenants for him, there was no way these three commanders would not do so.

Because in today's Qing Dynasty, there is no one who is not afraid of the fourth brother.

Hongli returned to the palace the next day.

Since he didn't need to worry about the affairs of the captain, his main focus at the moment was still on learning various civil and military skills.

Hongli himself did not slack off or be lazy, and was very studious and hardworking.

"Turichen, come again!"

That afternoon, Hongli was competing in boxing with Turichen. Although Turichen tried his best to give him some concessions, Hongli was still knocked to the ground after fighting with Turichen for several rounds.

Hongli didn't wait for Turichen to come and apologize, but got up on his own and wanted to fight again.

Turichen held his old waist and muttered breathlessly, "Come again?"

Although he was more experienced and skilled in boxing than Hongli, he was over thirty years old after all, and his endurance was not as good as that of Hongli, a young man who had never known what tiredness was.

Therefore, Tulichen groaned inwardly and had no choice but to continue to let Hongli win. After taking a solid punch with his face, he covered his eyes and knelt down to admit defeat: "Master Beizi, please show mercy. I lose!"

Hongli also took a breath and walked towards Kangxi with his hands on his hips: "Khanmafa, Turichen is unfaithful and deliberately let it go!"

Kangxi stood up and wiped Hongli's sweat with a handkerchief, saying with a smile: "If he doesn't let go, he will be exhausted to death by you!"

"Back then, when our Qing army entered the pass and fought against the rebels, the most difficult group to deal with was their children's battalion. Their strength lay in their fearlessness of death and their inability to tire."

"The future of the Qing Dynasty ultimately belongs to you young people, and the title of Baturu still has to be earned by you."

"Once upon a time, Khan Mafa also relied on a young friend who was about your age to capture Oboi alive."

People tend to reminisce about the past when they get old, and Kangxi was no exception. So as he spoke, he started talking about his past and sighed.

Hongli smiled.

He himself is a second-generation person and admits that being young has its advantages.

In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve of the 60th year of Kangxi's reign.

As the emperor's grandson, Hongli naturally had to attend the New Year's palace banquet.

At the palace banquet, Kangxi specially called Hongli to sit at the table next to his imperial desk. This was mainly because of his recent performance, which made Kangxi feel as if he saw the heroic young self he once was.

However, Kangxi's excessive doting inevitably aroused the jealousy of other imperial grandchildren.

So, after the palace banquet, when all the royal family members accompanied Kangxi to watch a play, Hongli was about to meet Hongzhou and go together when he suddenly felt someone stomping on his foot.

Hongli couldn't help but look up, and saw Hongchun walking past him, looking back at him, giving him a sneer with a hint of complacency.

Seeing this, Hong Zhou clenched his fists and was about to run forward to beat Hong Chun.

But Hongli stopped him and said, "Today is New Year's Eve, let's not make Khan Mafa unhappy!"

Hong Zhou hummed, but his face remained sullen: "But Fourth Brother, he clearly did it on purpose!" "That's right! So, just because we can't make Khanmafa unhappy doesn't mean we can't fight back."

After Hongli said this meaningfully, he whispered to Hongzhou, "Go find Sister Shushen and tell her about this!"

Hong Zhou nodded and left.

Hongli continued to walk towards the stage.

It was inconvenient for him to go to Shushen at this time because he was attracting too much attention.

But at this moment, the tenth prince Yin suddenly pulled Hongchun towards Hongli.

"Greetings to Uncle Ten!"

Hongli hurriedly greeted him.

"I want to apologize to your brother Hongli!"

Lao Shi said to Hongchun at this time.

Hongchun glared at Old Eleven: "What are you apologizing for?"

"You little bastard, you dare not admit it. You deliberately stepped on Hongli's foot. Your uncle saw it all."

Old Ten Yin directly twisted Hongchun's ear and started talking.

Hongchun couldn't help but bend over and deny it, "I didn't! If you don't believe me, ask Hongli himself, did I step on his foot on purpose?"

"some!"

"I didn't intend to make it public, but how could I, your nephew, dare to lie in front of your uncle?"

Hongli replied.

Hongchun's eyes widened on the spot.

Lao Shi looked at Hongchun: "Now, you still don't admit it?"

"Why would you mind my business?"

"Confused old man!"

Hongchun suddenly pushed Lao Shi away and impulsively cursed him.

Then, Hongchun walked away quickly with a sullen face, as if the matter would be over if he escaped from the scene.

Lao Shi was thrown to the ground on the spot.

"You little rascal, how dare you scold your uncle?"

When Hongli was helping Old Ten up, Old Ten couldn't help but point at Hongchun's receding back and curse.

"Okay, Uncle Shi, today is New Year's Eve, let's go to the opera first."

Hongli tried to persuade Lao Shi, who nodded and said to Hongli with a smile:
"However, Hongli, you should also know why Hongchun is targeting you. You should listen to Hongshi and not go down the wrong path! You should know that your eighth uncle and ninth uncle both think highly of you!"

"As long as you take the right path, Uncle Eighth will teach Old Fourteen to deal with Hongchun."

Lao Shi said this and left.

Hongli understood what the Tenth Prince meant. He simply thought that he should listen to Hongshi and join the Eighth Prince's party.

But even if he didn't know the historical outcome, he would not join the Eighth Prince's party, mainly because there were too many people in the Eighth Prince's party.

In addition, Lao Ba is actually too kind and lacks responsibility, and is not worth following.

At that time, all the ministers supported the Eighth Prince to be enthroned. The Minister of the Imperial Study, Ma Qi, even had a fight with Emperor Kangxi in the court for him, but he surrendered first, which made Ma Qi and others fail in the end.

When Hongli arrived at the theater, he saw Princess Shushen. Princess Shushen also saw him and nodded slightly at him, indicating that she knew him.

Not long after, Hongli heard Hongchun scream.

Suddenly, Hongli looked in the direction of the sound and saw Hongchun touching his feet.

"I'm sorry, I saw a mouse suddenly appear, so I hit it with a stool."

Princess Shushen said this while holding the stool with an apologetic look on her face.

"Damn little whore, are you blind?!"

Hongchun, who was always as frivolous as his father, did not hold back and started cursing.

"Hongchun!"

"Who are you calling a little whore? Who are you calling a blind dog?"

But at this time, Kangxi had just appeared with a group of princes, grandchildren, concubines and princesses, and happened to hear these words.

Kangxi's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Princess Shushen smiled secretly. She was looking for an opportunity to attack Hongchun just because she saw that Kangxi would appear at this time.
