On the second day after the Beginning of Autumn, Kangxi officially set off for Rehe.
This time, because war was likely to break out, Kangxi was afraid of shocking the Empress Dowager, so he did not take her with him.
On weekdays, the Yongrui Battalion was not with the other soldiers and horses, so it was difficult to see anything.
Now, soldiers with straight military uniforms, neat queues, rifles on their shoulders and belts on their waists appeared publicly near Kangxi's car.
Elites are elites, and it's impossible not to attract attention.
The soldiers of the Yongrui Battalion sat and stood in the right posture. There was absolutely no noise when marching, and they truly followed the orders and prohibitions.
Almost in an instant, he outshone all the imperial guards and soldiers around Kangxi.
Kangxi leaned against the window of the royal chariot and stared at Yongrui Camp's every move for a long time.
I don't know how long it took, but Kangxi said: "Go and call Yuzhu to see me."
"Hey." Wei Zhu, who had been following outside the window, quickly ordered the young eunuch to find Yuzhu after receiving the order.
At this time, Yuzhu was engaged in a lawsuit with people from Huairou County.
When traveling as a royal chariot, security matters are a trivial matter. The main reason is that there are many soldiers and horses accompanying them, and the supply of materials along the way is very problematic.
When the emperor travels, it is impossible to bring all supplies from the capital, especially all kinds of fruits, vegetables and other items.
The accompanying concubines and prince's brothers are fine, and there is no need to worry about the basic supply of supplies.
Ordinary ministers and workers are in more trouble. There is a lot of bacon and cured meat in the bowl, but there are very few fruits and vegetables.
As the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Yuzhu is responsible for ensuring the supply of materials for the imperial team.
But the problem is that Huairou County is located in a relatively remote location and is far less densely populated than Daxing County and Tongzhou.
Fewer people means fewer people growing vegetables.
After all, taxes in the North are calculated based on grain output. Only in the Jiangnan region can it be possible to use mulberry and linen silk to replace land taxes.
Yuzhu was an old bureaucrat and knew the difficulties faced by Huairou County. The solution he proposed was to collect vegetables grown by large households in the county to supply the emperor's needs.
While they were arguing, the little eunuch came to convey the order, and Yuzhu rushed to the outside of Kangxi's imperial chariot.
"Well, you are very good at training soldiers and have actual results, so I will leave the Xiaoqi Battalion to you for training." As soon as Kangxi said these words, Yuzhu waved his hands repeatedly and stuck out his tongue and said, "Old man, to tell you the truth, I have already
I'm so busy with everything, and with the addition of the Xiaoqi Camp, I can't sleep with my beauty at night."
Wei Zhu lowered his head and did not dare to say a word, but he knew in his heart that Yuzhu was the one who dared to speak like this in front of Long Live Lord.
Kangxi laughed angrily at Yuzhu and scolded him: "You naughty scoundrel, how dare you talk nonsense in front of me?"
Yuzhu always acted boldly in front of Kangxi. He lowered his head and said: "Old man, can you let me relax for a while? Take a look, among the big families in Manchuria, which one has a better brother?"
Am I still tired?"
Kangxi narrowed his eyes and thought carefully, Yu Zhu was really right.
Last time, Yuzhu said something strange to her face, that she got up earlier than a chicken and went to bed later than a dog.
Putting this aside, Kangxi asked Yuzhu again: "I heard that you brought the concubine of the Quanbu here?"
Yuzhu understood it as soon as he heard it, but Kangxi didn't understand why he brought an ugly concubine with long legs.
In fact, when Kangxi rewarded his concubine, he didn't think much about it and just rewarded it casually.
Now, instead of bringing a beauty, Yuzhu comes with an ugly concubine. What kind of trouble is this?
This is a deviation in aesthetics.
In today's capital city, the bannermen are gradually becoming Chinese. However, the aesthetic values of Han bureaucrats and officials are petite and exquisite and with bound feet.
Kangxi issued decrees three times prohibiting foot binding!
However, God's power could not deter the foot-binding trend from getting worse.
A is arsenic, B is honey.
Yuzhu also knew about the beauty of Jilinazha, but he couldn't explain it to Kangxi.
"To be honest, old man, the Fucha clan and the Cao Jia clan don't like each other, and I have a headache." What Yuzhu said was part of the truth, but it was just an exaggeration.
"Well, move the Yongrui camp closer to me." Kangxi ordered, and Yuzhu understood it instantly.
Who says the emperor has no face?
Compared with the sluggish Eight Banners soldiers, when the old emperor received the Mongolian prince, there was an energetic and rigorous Yongrui battalion standing next to him. Hey, the majesty of Enhe Amgulang Khan was almost overwhelming!
According to Kangxi's instructions, Yuzhu mobilized the soldiers of Yongrui Battalion to the periphery of the third-class guards.
To use an old saying, Yuzhu's men were so close to the old emperor, and they could be considered to have gained Kangxi's great trust.
This is mainly because Yongrui Battalion made a great contribution in protecting the troops last time, and after the whole group was raised as the Han army flag, it was regarded as one of the Qing Dynasty's own.
There is a one-word difference between flag and nationality. However, whether it is treatment or trust, they are worlds apart.
How can we compare ourselves with outsiders?
At this time, it was about five hundred miles from the capital to the Rehe Mountain Resort.
The rule in the Shunzhi Dynasty was that a royal driver should travel thirty miles a day.
In this dynasty, because Kangxi was the emperor immediately, he required that he must travel fifty miles a day before he was allowed to camp and rest.
On the way, when Yongrui camp was having lunch, Kangxi became interested and asked Yuzhu to accompany him to take a look.
When other people's soldiers and horses eat, they are all scattered here and there, with no order at all.
The officers and soldiers of the Yongrui Battalion were all sitting neatly in five rows. Everyone held big bowls in their hands and devoured them with big mouthfuls.
When Kangxi came closer, Yuzhu wanted to order everyone to kneel down to greet the Holy Driver, but Kangxi waved his hand to stop him.
"The sky is big and the earth is big, and the food is the biggest. When the sons and gentlemen are eating, if you ask them to put their rice bowls in the loess, aren't you scolding me?" Kangxi was not an emperor who was better than the hands of women in the palace. He understood it very well.
The thoughts of grassroots officers and soldiers.
When the emperor travels, the road will be paved with loess as usual. When the soldiers want to salute, they must put their rice bowls into the thick loess.
Yuzhu guessed that Kangxi really didn't want to disturb everyone, so he didn't ask everyone to salute.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Kangxi walked and read, and did not stop until he was in front of the cooks.
"Well, you kid is so clever. With such a big dust, you actually came up with a good idea of covering it with several layers of white cotton cloth to cover it up."
Kangxi could clearly see that the rice and vegetable vats in front of the cooks had wooden frames covered with white cotton.
When no one comes to cook, the drooping white cotton cloth just blocks the yellow dust.
When the officers and soldiers came to bring food, the cook put his hand into the white cotton cloth and quickly filled the food.
As a result, it is inevitable that the food will be stained with some dust. However, it is more than 95% less than in other teams.
Imagine that the sky is full of loess, and other teams are cooking in the open air, and they only have one mouthful of food and one mouthful of loess.
I wonder how sour and refreshing that taste is?
As for Yuzhu's team, the soldiers all have a large white cotton handkerchief in their hands, which is enough to cover the large porcelain bowl.
Kangxi saw clearly that a dark-faced man took a big mouthful of food with chopsticks. While chewing, he covered the rice bowl in his hand with a white cotton handkerchief.
Dust is unavoidable, but it is indeed much less.
"Well, you are indeed very attentive. This method is very wonderful and should be extended to the whole army." Kangxi nodded frequently and greatly appreciated Yuzhu's willingness to put in effort and treat his subordinates well.
Yuzhu thought to himself that even if it was promoted, the effect would definitely not be good.
Why?
Essentially different.
Besides Yuzhu, who would train ordinary soldiers as officers?
Who would really take the big soldiers into consideration, worry about their worries, and think about what they think?
No matter how elite the soldiers of the Yongrui Battalion are, they have two natural flaws: one is their small number, and the other is the lack of artillery.
Kangxi, who was proficient in military affairs, saw clearly that the number of direct descendants under Yuzhu was only more than 1,200 at best.
It is impossible for such a small number of people to change the world.
Besides, there are many factions in the infantry commander's office, and Yuzhu is responsible for carrying out errands, so he must be able to command them.
If Yuzhu had other agendas, the Eight Banners Infantry Camp would not be able to obey his orders.
More importantly, Yuzhu was not only a junior member of Kangxi's mother clan, but also a pure minister promoted by Kangxi.
In his later years, Kangxi looked up and saw that none of his sons could be trusted. Most of the Manchu nobles were from the eighth generation.
He could only sleep peacefully if the military power in the capital was handed over to the loyal Yuzhu or Longkodo.
More than ten days later, Kangxi's chariot arrived at the Rehe Palace.
According to the original plan, the Yongrui Battalion under Yuzhu should be stationed in the middle of the periphery of the palace, and the Eight Banners garrison in Rehe would be outside.
However, the plan did not change quickly. Kangxi changed his mind temporarily, and Yongrui Camp was placed outside the Dongbian Gate of the palace.
The straight-line distance between Dongbianmen and Wanhe Songfeng Hall, where Kangxi lived, is no more than three miles.
As long as there is a change, the Yongrui Battalion will be there in an instant and can escort them very quickly.
Yuzhu knew in his heart that Kangxi was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of well ropes for ten years.
Last time, A Jintai, the general manager of Rehe, led thousands of Mongolian elite cavalry to sneak attack the shadow of Changchun Garden. It would definitely not be possible for them to pass so quickly.
Kangxi, who was living in a cold place, was actually very lonely and uneasy.
The supreme imperial power was too tempting. If Kangxi did not close his eyes, it would be impossible for him to hand over power.
Kangxi, who had read many history books, knew better than anyone else that the Supreme Emperor was not only in an embarrassing situation, but also had a huge psychological gap.
Kangxi arrived at his palace in Rehe, but several Mongolian princes did not come to greet him personally, but sent their sons to come.
Hehe, who is Kangxi?
Didn't these Mongolian princes clearly tell Kangxi that there was something wrong in their minds?
However, Kangxi was not anxious at all. He said amiably: "As long as your armies are here, they will still be loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty."
The sons of the Mongolian princes and princes who had evil intentions were all sent back by Kangxi.
Kangxi asked them to go back and do the ideological work of their fathers. Don't be afraid. As long as they come, I will forget about it!
