On the day of Great Heat, the imperial court issued an edict stating that after the Beginning of Autumn, the Mulan Autumn Festival would begin.
During the middle and late period of Kangxi's reign, he went to Mulan Paddock almost every year.
The main reason for this is that the Junggar Khanate has never been destroyed, and the careerists on the Mongolian grasslands are inextricably linked to the Junggar Khanate.
After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, a basic national policy that has been implemented is to unite the Mongolian tribes to suppress the Central Plains.
If Mongolia is uneasy, the world will be uneasy.
Yuzhu was ordered to rectify his troops and prepare to escort them north to Rehe.
According to Kangxi's instructions, there are two types of soldiers and horses controlled by jade pillars.
One is that the Ministry of Internal Affairs coats three banners and three battalions. The so-called three battalions refer to the guard battalion, Xiaoqi battalion and forward battalion composed of coats.
Baoyi's three banners and three battalions do not have a commander or deputy commander. The chief officer is the highest officer in the battalion.
However, each of these three battalions has three commanders, namely Manchu, Mongolian and Han troops.
As a result, no one among the emperor's personal soldiers had the greatest military power, and they were able to restrict and supervise each other.
For example, Yuzhu's father-in-law, Fucha Changde, was the commander of the Zhengbai Banner Han Army under the Xiaoqi Battalion, one of the three battalions, and commanded more than a thousand soldiers and horses.
These more than a thousand people may not seem like many, but when the mountains collapse, they are likely to play a key reinforcement role.
In a word, Yuzhu is Han Xin's commander, the more the better. The more soldiers and horses he has in hand, the better, never too few.
"For your humble position, please see the general manager." The nine officers of Baoyi's third battalion gathered together to pay their respects and pay homage to Yuzhu, who came to inspect.
The three battalions of the Three Banners and Three Battalions have always been an important military force guarding the palace. They are of the nature of the Imperial Guard and are too sensitive.
Even if Yuzhu is in charge of nine of them, he will not easily touch the internal personnel of the third camp.
So far, Kangxi did not absolutely trust Yuzhu, but only slowly tried to reuse it.
Yuzhu is also a guy who knows what's right. He only works in the Yongrui camp of his direct lineage and doesn't care about the other camp leaders.
"Everyone, please take a seat." Yuzhu politely offered his seat.
"Thank you, Mr. Manager." On the surface, the nine counselors were quite respectful. They thanked them first and then took their seats.
"Everyone, the Autumn Festival is about to begin. It is of great importance. We must prepare for the war carefully and don't be careless." Yuzhu scanned the whole place for a week and made a special reminder.
Those present were all the emperor's personal soldiers, and Yuzhu was not afraid that they would leak the news, so he let the news out in advance.
"My lord, the general manager, there is still a shortage of more than 300 war horses in the humble camp. I would like to ask your lord, the general manager, to inform the emperor to make up for it as soon as possible." Ece, the Mongolian officer in charge of the Xiaoqi camp, took the lead to stand up and speak out.
his difficulties.
The emperor's personal soldiers are actually short of horses. It would be unbelievable if Yuzhu was not the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
However, Yuzhu knew that what Ece said was indeed true.
The Shangsiyuan under the Ministry of Internal Affairs is an institution dedicated to raising horses for the royal family. In the Shangsiyuan, there are dozens of specialized horse farms.
However, the death rate of war horses at the horse farm owned by Shangsiyuan was astonishingly high.
To put it simply, out of ten foals in a racecourse, at least eight will die after they are raised to adulthood.
In fact, everyone knows the reason for such a high mortality rate. However, no one dares to say anything.
Sun Chengyun, Yuzhu's die-hard brother, used to resell royal horses from the Royal Ranch when he was poor. How could Yuzhu not know the tricks involved?
However, Yuzhu did not intend to delve into the matter of the lack of horses. He nodded and said, "I will inform the emperor specifically to provide you with the necessary horses."
Kangxi could not have been unaware of the corruption in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
However, the clear rule is that in the greedy Ministry of Internal Affairs, as long as you are loyal to the emperor, you can turn a blind eye to other things.
Even Kangxi didn't care. Unless Yuzhu's head was ironed, he would intervene to offend others.
Yuzhu came here today to really solve the problem.
Normally, no matter how corrupt and bribery these people are, Yuzhu is too lazy to take care of them.
However, when I go to Rehe this time, I will most likely have to go to the battlefield and face off against Mongolian careerists.
Since these nine soldiers and horses under the leadership of Yuzhu were under Yuzhu's command, they couldn't just collapse on their own before the war started, right?
After E Ce started, the remaining eight leaders followed suit and made various requests.
How should I put it, just from these various demands, Yuzhu has clearly seen the nature of the Eight Banners soldiers: increasingly corrupt!
However, Yuzhu didn't expect these people to be of much help.
Well, as long as it doesn't cause trouble to Yuzhu, it can be regarded as a meritorious service.
Yuzhu's requirements for the nine participating leaders are not high. They must have all their horses and enough food and grass to facilitate the pursuit of the retreating Mongols.
The Yongrui Battalion's volley fighting method has been proven in actual combat. Yuzhu is already confident about this, so there is no need to worry about this.
After Yuzhu collected all the questions, he left the lobby of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and went to report to Kangxi about the lack of horses.
After Kangxi heard this, he didn't say much. He just told Yuzhu to go to the Siyuan to choose horses.
Since it was a horse race, Yuzhu took Niu Tai with him.
The current doctor at Shangsiyuan is Concubine Yi's biological brother, named Opuku.
Epuku is the biological uncle of Lao Wu and Lao Jiu. Think about it, how could Yuzhu delve into the matter of missing horses?
In the Ministry of Internal Affairs, nepotism was extremely complicated. Even if Kangxi wanted to rectify it, he would still use it as a weapon, let alone Yuzhu?
Opuku's eldest brother, Daobao, is currently the chief minister of Prince Heshuoheng and the deputy capital of Mongolia in Xianghuang Banner.
Prince Heshuo Heng, also known as Lao Wu, Yuzhu's hardcore An Da.
Epuku also knew about the relationship between Yuzhu and Lao Wu.
Since he was one of his own, he did not hide it from Yuzhu, and said with a sigh: "Manager, even a humble position is very helpless. The people below eat hard crops, but do not work hard, and even sell horses for money.
There is really nothing I can do about my humble position."
Yuzhu smiled. Although what Epuku said was the truth, he only told half the truth.
From top to bottom, all the officials in the Shangsi Court follow the first-come-first-serve approach. I ask, which official has not resold his horse for money?

"Old E, you are the fifth master's uncle, and I won't speak outsiders. I'm here not to check the accounts, but to choose a good horse." Yuzhu also gave Opuku a pill.
The reassurance, clearly stated, is that all you need to do is give me a good horse, and the manager is too lazy to take care of other things.
Opuku was naturally filled with joy after receiving Yuzhu's personal approval. He led Yuzhu into the royal stables with his head shaking.
"General manager, as long as they are not the horses that the emperor likes to ride, you can choose whatever you want." Opuku is also a sensible person. Yuzhu is a serious boss. He just came to choose horses without asking anything. He is already very flattering.
.
When it comes to horse selection, Niu Tai is an expert, so Yuzhu won't mess with it. Anyway, as long as Niu Tai likes a horse, it must be a good horse.
Epuku invited Yuzhu into his official hall. When Yuzhu walked in, he saw that there were nine large icebergs placed in the small room. It was so cool.
As the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Yuzhu could only place five icebergs at most when he was in the palace.
After serving the tea, Yuzhu picked up the tea cup and asked Opuku with a smile: "Uncle, are you interested in going to Rehe to earn military glory?"
Lao Wu treated Yuzhu sincerely, and they formally became sworn sworn brothers. Yuzhu had a good opportunity to gain military glory, so it was naturally impossible for him to ignore Lao Wu's uncles.
When Opuku heard Yuzhu calling his uncle, he couldn't help but grinned widely and smiled sweetly.
"You are the Fifth Master's An Da. Please forgive me for being humble and entrusting you with such a big responsibility. How about I call you "Jing Qing"?
Among Lao Wu's side, his eldest uncle Daobao was the most respected, but the person closest to him was his fifth uncle Opuku.
Privately, as Opuku, calling Yuzhu by his nickname is not too arrogant.
Yuzhu nodded with a smile and said, "Uncle, don't be polite to me, just sit down and talk."
After Opuku sat down, he whispered: "Since you have given me the opportunity to perform meritorious service, it would be disrespectful of me not to agree. However, you also know that I am still looking at the fifth master's face under my hand.
The stall business is really hard to get out of business."
Hearing Opuku's excuse, Yuzhu understood that this guy was afraid of death and didn't even want to get the military merit he had given him.
Also, with Lao Wu covering Opuku and guarding the fertile land of Shangsiyuan, how could he be willing to leave the colorful world of the capital and eat dirt on the grassland?
Nearly seventy years after entering the customs, the Eight Banners soldiers have become more and more decayed!
No matter what, the more decadent the Eight Banners soldiers are, the easier it will be for Yuzhu to succeed in the future.
After the horses from the three battalions of the three banners were matched, Yuzhu went straight back to Long Mansion.
After dinner, when Longkodo and Yuzhu were sitting together to drink tea, he said: "Your sixth uncle Qingheng asked me to bring you a message. He also wants to go to Rehe to perform meritorious service."
Yuzhu thought for a moment, and found out that in Lao Tong's family, the brothers who were at odds with Longkodo were mainly the eldest brother Ye Keshu and the second child Deke Xin.
It just so happens that these two are Yuzhu's eldest uncle and second uncle respectively.
Seeing that Yuzhu didn't say anything, Longkodo also understood his son's concerns, so he sighed and said: "I think back then, before you became a master, the fourth brother, the fifth brother, the sixth brother and the seventh brother were all just helpless people. The eldest brother and the second brother
My brother had the upper hand, so they followed me and attacked me. I had the upper hand, and they helped me take care of my eldest brother and second brother. Alas, the wind blows and we fall on both sides."
"Let's put it this way, relatively speaking, your sixth uncle is pretty good." Long Keduo said it for this reason. How could Yuzhu not understand his thoughts?
"Okay, Ama, please send someone to deliver a message to Uncle Six, and I will find an opportunity to recommend him to the emperor."
After the rise of Yuzhu, there is still no Tong family member around, which is indeed a bit unreasonable.
In addition, Yuzhu's heart is like a mirror, and there must be Tong Guowei's shadow behind this matter.
Tong Guowei fought against all opinions and sent Yuzhu's aunt, Xiao Hesheli, to the family temple, and completely ignored Yuzhu's brother Yue Xing'a. The purpose was not just for Yuzhu's rise, but also to win over his uncles and uncles.
Are we or our cousins ascending to heaven together?
Today, among the three powerful factions in power of the old Tong family, Shangshu Longkoduo and Governor Qingtai are both Yuzhu's ama.
What's even more frightening is that Yuzhu is already a local tyrant in the capital with a heavy army, and his power is even higher than that of Long and Qing.
I would like to ask, what will Tong Guowei's children and grandchildren use to compete with Yuzhu for the position of future head of the family?
Don't want to die?
