Emperor Qianlong: the beginning of his glory

Chapter 60: Zhitong Sentences and Offers Advice to the Imperial Commissioner Yong Fu Heng Beats Drums and Governor's Office (2)
Liao Qingge squinted his eyes for a long while before he recognized Fu Heng, and hurriedly said with a smile: "I will invite you immediately. But at this moment, our Zhongcheng has already fallen asleep. It will take a while to report to the back hall, Zhongtang Sit down, sir, we'll go in right now!" He said, making a beating, took two Geshihas, and opened the door to go in.Fu Heng was full of anxiety, going back and forth in circles, counting the time.Seeing Karjishan, notify the garrison flag battalion to transfer troops, gather and lecture, even if we set off immediately, it will be the end of the year and the beginning of the week, how far can we go tonight?Thinking about it, he looked up and saw the dusty hall in the east wall fence, and with an idea, he pushed the gate open.Go in, flip over the handle of the whip and beat it fiercely.The dull "dong dong dong..." sound immediately resounded in all directions!

In the afternoon, Kaer Jishan had a meeting with Sahalang, the feudal official, to transport grain and grass to the Daizhou camp. Before the matter was over, I heard the sound of a drum and rain in front of me.He opened the door in draped clothes and shoes, and saw a few girls and servants standing at the second door looking at this side at a loss.Kaer Jishan asked angrily: "What's going on outside! Has Taiyuan City come in?" There was also a knock on the second door while talking; outside Liao Qingge shouted: "Master Zhongcheng, Imperial Envoy Mr. Fu Liuye I need to see Zhong Cheng, there is something urgent!" Xiao Qiao just put on her clothes at this time, and came out with her robe and boots in her arms, and several family members were busy changing into official uniforms for Karji Shan under the eaves.

"Come on!" Kaer Jishan was very unhappy, striding out, cursing inwardly, "Wherever you go, you will cause trouble!" But he asked Liao Qingge, "Sixth Lord, what's the matter? Did you come to pass it on?" Holy decree?"

"It doesn't look like much. But the sixth master seems to have military affairs, and the few people he leads are fully armed. They even wear cowhide armor."

"You go and tell them to open the middle door, and I will greet you at the signing room."

Liao Qingge ran out, and the door opened in a short while.Ka Erjishan's forehead was full of anger, but he also came to his senses at this moment: the person who came was a young upstart, and he must not be offended.Seeing Fu Hengwei stepping in majesticly, Kaer Jishan greeted him with a smile all over his face, and said, "Sixth Master, I was really shocked! I was writing a book at the back, and there was a lot of knocking here. To be honest, I haven't heard of it yet." How about the sound of drums beating!"

"How dare you disturb me at night if there is nothing to do? I am in a hurry!" Fu Heng smiled slightly, and followed Kaer Jishan into the signing room. Instead of sitting down, he stood and said his plan to rush to Tuo Tuo Peak immediately. ... "I don't want anything now. Give me five hundred strong men and tell Saharang tomorrow. Each family member will send 300 taels of silver. I will wait here and leave immediately."

Ka Erjishan was really startled: "Master Liu, this is not a joke, is it? I have only seen this kind of thing in the theater." But he soon realized his gaffe, his tone became solemn and calm, and he frowned Said: "This place is three or four hundred miles away from Heicha Mountain. There are high mountains, dense forests, dense roads and dangerous roads. Thousands of bandits are entrenched in it. It is very risky to attack like this. In case of a fall, we cannot explain to the court. 500 people are Small things are easy to handle with money, and the guard camp of the governor's yamen is enough, but..." He shook his head again and again, and stopped talking.

"You saw it in the theater, but I read it in the book." Fu Heng didn't want to quarrel with this glazed egg governor at all. He smiled coldly, turned to the desk, and wrote on the rice paper with a pen:
Then the Shanxi governor's yamen immediately dispatched five hundred soldiers to Fu Heng, the imperial envoy, to take orders.

This order!

After finishing writing, he handed it to Karjishan: "Here is this for you, don't worry!" Karjishan glanced at it, and suddenly laughed: "Zhongtang, I am also a seven-foot man! Bing, you take it away immediately. I don't want this warrant, I share honor and disgrace with your lord!" After saying that, he burned the warrant on the lamp.Fu Heng looked at Kaer Jishan in amazement and said, "He is a man from Manchuria!"

On the evening of the second day, Fu Heng's [-]-mile memorial was delivered to the military plane.It was Neqin who was on duty that night, and seeing that it was an urgent matter of bandits besieging the county, he ordered the eunuch Qin Yu, who was on duty at the Military Aircraft Department, to report quickly to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and followed behind to wait for orders at the mouth of the water alley.After less than a bag of cigarettes, Gao Wuyong brought Qin Yu over, "I ordered you to see me right away."

"Local officials are taboo about stealing and harming the country. It's a very hateful situation!" Qianlong read the memorial and urgent report documents, pushed them aside gently, and said, "Shanxi has always reported that there are only more than 1000 people in Piaogao. Why are there [-] bandits? These things are not checked by the military plane, and you don’t care about going to the study, I really don’t know what you do every day!" At first, Neqin wanted to explain a few words, but after listening to Qianlong’s scolding, including himself, he had to swallow his saliva. He smiled and said: "The emperor is responsible. There is a particularity here. In order to get a good reputation, the civil servants always whitewash the peace and talk about their achievements. It's extremely dangerous. It's better to set up an inspection branch in each county, which is not under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate, but under the local garrison. In this way, the civil and military mutual supervision, the situation may be better." Qianlong thought for a while, and smiled: "Yue Fei said that civil officials are not Love money, military officers are not afraid of death, and the world is peaceful. Nowadays, civil and military officers are afraid of death, and they all love money. What to do in the world! Keep these few notes. You go to Fourteen Baylor Mansion, and the Shanxi bandits and love Fu Heng's plan to report to the Fourteenth Master. If he has no objection, you don't have to come here. If you think it's inappropriate, you come in again tonight and bring me the words of Fourteen Baylor. I won't enter the inner palace tonight. Just read the memorial here."

Neqin repeatedly agreed and withdrew.Qianlong thought the lights were too dim, so he asked someone to light two big candles behind him, and read the memorials one by one.Because Gao Heng reported that the bandits in Jiangxi had collapsed, the area around Luoxiao Mountain had been cleared up.Qianlong pondered for a while, dipped his pen in cinnabar and criticized:
If it's good, it's good, if it's over, it's not over.Where is the bandit leader Qu Kui?Pass the prisoner to Beijing to show me!If you haven't visited the former enemy in person, how do you know that they have "already been clarified", and you really went to Luoxiao Mountain?I see that you don't do anything more, follow Yi and others to deceive you, and turn to deceive my Tiancong?I don't believe it if I don't capture the first flower of the bandit and come to Beijing to inspect it!
Wrote it and put it aside.He looked through another copy, which was the record of Yin Jishan setting up a righteous warehouse in Nanjing, accumulating grain on a daily basis, and providing relief in times of shortage.Qianlong wanted to let it go, but took it back again, and approved a few words:
understood.This is an act of being in power with sincerity, so don't do it boldly to avoid resentment and suspicion.The root of wealth in the south of the Yangtze River.In the hometown of humanities, there is your little Yin here, so I don't bother my heart.

After finishing writing, I carefully read Fu Heng's notes, consulted Linxian's emergency report documents, pondered for a while, and wrote:
You listed the situation in Shanxi in detail, do you want to leave room for evading punishment in the future?The first task of the imperial envoy this time is to suppress the thieves wandering on Tuo Tuo Peak, and the daily affairs of entertainment have made the enemy stronger. Who will take the blame for this?The bandits in Jiangxi have been wiped out.If there is a fall in Shanxi, even if I do not commit any crimes, what face do you have to see me?

He leaned back and sighed, suddenly thought of Tang'er, and was about to comfort and encourage Fu Heng, when Gao Wuyong came in and reported, "Neqin and Fourteen Baylor, please see me at the entrance of Yongxiang. The palace gate has been unlocked, please invite The purpose is to open the door and let people go.”

"Please!"

As Qianlong said, he leaned down to get off the kang, because he was only wearing a robe, he hurriedly ordered someone to tie a belt, and put on a moon white silk poplin jacket. Just finished dressing, Neqin and Yunyu had already entered.Seeing that Yunyu was going to make a grand ceremony, Qianlong hurriedly supported him, with a smile all over his face, and said, "Uncle Fourteen, we will avoid this layer when we meet in private in the future! When I was young, Lao Wuchang and I rolled in your arms. Wanting Grasshopper like candy, thinking about it is like yesterday, now the name is different, if I restrain myself a bit, what is the meaning of the word "Tianlun"?"

"Long live said so, but I dare not be a minister!" Yunyu almost shed tears, and said, "According to Fu Heng's style of play, Lin County can't be kept. If Lin County can't be kept, Piao Gao opened the way to escape to northern Shaanxi. There are hundreds of thousands of stone grains stored in Yulin City in Shaanxi. In the bitter cold place in northern Shaanxi, the folk customs are tough. Piao Gao takes root here and becomes a formidable enemy! It must not be ignored, so when you come to see the emperor at night, you must There are some measures." Qianlong was shocked all over, took a breath, looked at Yunyu and said nothing.Yun Yu took out a copy of Shanxi Tuzhi from his sleeve, unfolded it and laid it flat on the table. He said with his fingers that it was almost the same as Li Shiyao's opinion, and finally said: "If you run for thousands of miles, you must be the general. Now Fu Heng's raid is actually the same as Li Shiyao's. It's more than [-] miles away! If I were Piao Gao and set up an ambush in the Ehutan area of ​​Baishigou, Fu Heng's thousands of exhausted soldiers would be wiped out!"

Qianlong watched and listened, cold sweat broke out on his head, he turned and sat down on the chair, and sighed: "Scholars misunderstood the country, I hired the wrong person!"

"The general was born in battle, and I have also lost battles. The Lord used young people to train soldiers in peacetime, and the purpose is good." Yunyu said calmly, "The most important thing at the moment is to remedy. First issue an order to order the governor of Shaanxi to dial five Thousands of troops blocked all the crossings of the Yellow River from Jia County to Baode to prevent the bandits from fleeing westward. They ordered Lishi County, Lin County, and Xing County to requisition all the boats at the crossings, and burned them as a last resort. Ordered Shanxi The governor, Karji Shanti, mobilized the troops of the whole province and waited for them. Look at Piao Gao's movements, and then make plans. That's all I can think of now."

Neqin was listening, and felt that what Yunzhen said was too dangerous, so he said: "Fourteen Lord, Piao Gao may not have such great ambitions, maybe he will fight in Lin County to collect grain and grass. And return to Tuo Tuo Peak? He also They may not dare to set up an ambush at Evil Tiger Beach in Baishigou. After all, this is a gang of thieves. Now, in the name of the imperial court, an order has been issued to rush to Daizhou for eight hundred miles, so that Fan Gaojie will stand by and stand by. If Lin County falls, then It seems safer to make a recovery plan. Such a large-scale war across the province is not good for people's hearts." After hearing this, Yunyu only smiled and said: "Of course it's best to worry too much. I am a person who worries unnecessarily sometimes. Please pay attention to this. I'm exhausted from running, and I can't run more than [-] miles a day. I don't know about Zhang Guangsi's other abilities, but the strictness of the military order seems to be credible." He raised his face proudly again.

"Everything is handled according to the Fourteenth Uncle, but with secret decrees." Qianlong gave Neqin a hard look, "This is a war, do you take it for granted? Ridiculous!" Yunyu said: "What Neqin said was sent to Daizhou. You should still try, and plug the loophole if you can. If you don’t take chances, you will be more sure.”

Qianlong frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Uncle Fourteen just said, I thought, Shanxi is mainly military, while northern Shaanxi is mainly political. It's time to change the grain stored in Yulin. It's the spring famine. Storehouse relief, and give all the food to the people in northern Shaanxi!"

"My lord is holy!"

Yunyu's face was beaming with joy, this was the first time he sincerely admired Qianlong.
