Chapter 416: Driving the tiger away from the mountain
"Yujue Department, your soldiers don't know how to prepare troops, they don't know how to fight, they don't know how to use swords, guns or sticks, but they are all good at training. How is that possible?" Old Thirteen stared at Yuzhu in surprise.
Yuzhu said with a smile: "To be honest with you, Thirteenth Master, here I only teach the skills of an enemy of ten thousand people. Buku, fighting, and mounted archery are not my specialty."
Old Thirteen thought for a while and sighed: "I have heard from Fourth Brother that the soldiers under your command are all elite soldiers, and they do not dare to cross the line even if they are ordered to do so. Even Khan Ama once praised you for being good at leading troops.
.”
More than 500 young refugees were recruited, 300 of them were captured by the old 13th, and the rest returned to Yuzhu.
Lao Shisan's men have been training exhaustingly for eight days, but the people on his side are still in a mess.
It takes more than half an hour to complete the entire team.
The group of people assigned to Yuzhu were able to stand in a straight line in a short period of time.
"How did you do it?" Old Thirteen is known as the prince's elder brother who knows the most about soldiers. He must admit that he is not as good at training as Yuzhu.
Yuzhu smiled and said: "Without it, a spanking with a military stick is essential. In addition, there are big fish and meat to serve."
It was impossible to hide his military training methods from the eyes and ears of the Fourth and Thirteenth. Instead of hiding it, it would be better to talk openly about it.
After listening to Yuzhu's detailed introduction, Lao Shisan couldn't help but nodded frequently and said: "Yes, the military method of seventy-two cuts is indeed outdated, and it is far inferior to spanking with your military stick, plus delicious food and drink as a reward.
"
Having said that, it was difficult for Lao Shisan to understand the essence of Yuzhu's military training.
Why?
No matter how unfavored Lao Shisan is, he still has a noble stomach and an awe-inspiring pride.
In other words, Lao Shisan can be brothers with the frustrated Eight Banners officers, but he cannot drink and eat meat with the lowly common people.
Class does not need to be talked about all day long, but it can be deeply engraved in the bones.
The butt determines the head.
With Lao Shisan's background and knowledge, he only needed to capture the middle and low-level Eight Banners officers.
Yuzhu is a guy who wants to accomplish great things, so he naturally has to find ways to win over the soldiers.
It is not surprising that it has long been common among Yuzhu's new army to cover the soldiers with quilts in the middle of the night.
Yuzhu's identity is very sensitive, and he cannot do it himself. However, the members of the officer corps he trained can do it with confidence and boldness.
Privately training the army is a serious crime among serious crimes.
Even if Yuzhu was a celebrity around Kangxi and Lao Shisan was his biological son, he still couldn't afford to suffer.
Therefore, the newly recruited people were not equipped with weapons such as swords and guns, but were mainly equipped with thick wooden sticks, supplemented by hoes, nails and rakes.
To put it bluntly, we don't expect these people to rush in and arrest people, but let them block all roads.
In order to paralyze the officials in Henan, Yuzhu, who had never appeared in public, sent invitations to the officials in Henan, inviting them to come to the imperial envoy's camp for tea in two days.
The so-called tea talk is just a nice thing in name.
In essence, the imperial envoy went to everyone and questioned them one by one in order to investigate the cause of the embankment collapse.
During the Nanchang Uprising, Marshal Zhu adopted the strategy of diverting the tiger away from the mountain and invited all the officers in the garrison to have a party, which produced excellent results.
Yuzhu was the official imperial envoy who was ordered to investigate the case. It was a matter of course and beyond reproach for him to find someone to question.
Two days later, officials from Henan Province, led by Governor Li Xi, came to visit Yuzhu at the camp.
Above the lobby, the jade pillar sits in the middle, Li Xi sits behind the eucalyptus table on the left, and Zhou Quan's small desk is on the right.
The rest of the officials, including the Second Division of Fan Zhi, stood on both sides of the lobby.
Since the fourth year of Kangxi's reign, Henan Province has been under the jurisdiction of the Zhili Governor-General. There is only a governor of Henan, but no governor of Henan.
However, in Henan during the Qing Dynasty, there were three governors of Henan. The most famous of them was: Tian Wenjing, a cruel official.
Tian Wenjing's greatest political achievement was the violent promotion of "dividing a small family into an equal share", and he was favored by the fourth son.
Of course, Tian Wenjing's bad reputation is also inextricably linked to the fact that he offended the big bureaucrats and landlords in Henan.
After all, public opinion at that time was in the hands of scholars.
In the old TV series "Yongzheng Dynasty", the reputation of Shanxi Governor Nuo Min as "the best governor in the world" was actually a reward deliberately given by Yongzheng to support Tian Wenjing.
In front of Li Xi, Yuzhu summoned relevant officials and asked them in detail, from the Henan vassal, to the governor of Kaifeng, to the classics and history of Yucheng County.
Today, Yuzhu, as an imperial envoy, formally questioned.
It is in line with the famous saying: You don’t have to say anything, but as long as you say something, you must sign it as evidence to be submitted to the imperial examination.
Li Xi, the governor of Henan, was subordinate to the Han Army of Zhenghuang Banner and was born in Yinsheng.
It turns out that Li Xi's ancestors were actually members of the Zhenglan Banner Han Army, under the command of Li Yongfang of Fushun Fushun.
Li Yongfang was a guerrilla in Fushun at the time. He was the first border general to surrender to Jin in the Ming Dynasty. He was originally highly valued by the old slaves.
However, Yuan Ke, the governor of the former Ming Dynasty, used a counter-intuitive plan to rebel against Nurhachi's son-in-law Liu Aita (Liu Xingzuo). After regaining Fuzhou, Li Yongfang fell out of favor, and many of his left-wing leaders were divided.
Because Li Xi's ancestors and Liu Aita were inextricably linked, this was the stain of original sin.
Therefore, the ancestral motto of Li Xi's family was the word "Shen Du", and he did not dare to participate in the battle for the legitimate heir.
However, not participating in the seizure of the heir does not mean that Li Xi knows nothing about the intricate factional forces in North Korea and China.
In fact, according to what Li Xi knew, both the feudal lords Yitang'a and Nensi Chang Jixun were suspected of causing serious damage to the embankment.
However, Li Xi was afraid of the strong strength of the Ba Ye Party and did not dare to intervene.
As long as the governor of a province in a small peasant society has a good grasp of taxation, it is very easy to get by.
For frontier officials in peacetime, their ability to handle errands is second to none. The core is that their backers in the court must be strong.
In the later years of Kangxi, especially after the second prince was deposed, most of the courtiers attached themselves to the princes and elder brothers and formed several huge forces.
Even though Li Xi had the support of the emperor, how could he dare to offend the extremely large Ba Ye Party?
Regarding the actions of Yi Tang'a and Chang Jixun, Li Xi always held the idea of being in harmony with the light and the dust, turning a blind eye and pretending to be ignorant.
Yuzhu did not want to embarrass Li Xi, but since Li Xi was the current governor of Henan, he could not tolerate him staying out of the matter.
"Li Zhongcheng, do you have all the money and food to provide relief to the victims?" Yuzhu was very experienced in fighting. He wanted to test Li Xi's attitude by starting with the disaster relief that he could intervene in.
Li Xi glanced at Yi Tang'a, who had a fierce look in his eyes, and then at Chang Jixun, who kept his head down and said nothing. He felt very embarrassed.
Tell the truth, you will offend me!
Tell a lie, but I am afraid that Yuzhu will be serious and want to inventory the disaster relief materials.
At this time, Li Xi was like a mouse that fell into a bellows, in a dilemma!
