Chapter 453 One of the Tong Family

After the formal meeting with His Majesty, Longko was unwilling to give up and took Li Si'er to Xi'an Mansion.

Yuzhu knew in his heart that, on the one hand, the old emperor was very insistent, and on the other hand, the fourth son also very much hoped that Longko would go to Xi'an and seize the largest green battalion military power in the country.

The Governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi has jurisdiction over all Green Camp troops in the three provinces of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu.

As far as the current strategic situation of the Qing Dynasty is concerned, Gansu is the front line to contain the Junggar people, and Sichuan is the choke point for controlling the snowy areas.

As peace prevails in the world, the total number of Green Camp soldiers has been continuously reduced to more than 600,000.

However, the total strength of the Green Camp in Sichuan and Shaanxi has been continuously increasing.

Under the command of the Governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, the Green Battalion had more than 100,000 soldiers at its peak, and they were also battle-hardened frontier troops.

It is no exaggeration to say that all the elites of Green Camp are in Sichuan and Shaanxi!

Ever since Tong Guowei stood on the wrong team and was forced to retire, the power of the old Tong family, instead of shrinking, has expanded sharply.

Longkodo, a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion and governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, had more than 84,000 elite green soldiers in his hands.

Xiaozhongtang Yuzhu controls the largest military force in the Gyeonggi region, with more than 30,000 soldiers and horses.

This is the frightening 120,000 soldiers and horses at hand!

All the Eight Banners soldiers and Green Camp soldiers from all over the world, taken together, amount to only 750,000 soldiers and horses.

The Tong family's father and son accounted for nearly one-fifth of the troops.

In addition, the old Tong family has three governors all over the country, and they also have at least several thousand green soldiers.

Therefore, when someone wrote a subtitle to impeach Long Keduo, they deliberately emphasized the fact that one out of every five soldiers in the world belongs to the Tong family.

After Yuzhu read the impeachment excerpt, he also thought it was very exciting.

Especially this passage: At the snap of a finger, more than 100,000 soldiers can be gathered. The disaster of elbows and armpits will put the world in danger and the Qing Dynasty.

Kangxi naturally ignored the accusation of impeaching Longkodo.

The copy of the booklet that Yuzhu got was actually found by Zhao Chang and secretly given to the fourth child, who in turn asked the thirteenth child to give it to Yuzhu.

This huge favor sold by Lao Si was of great use to Long Ke, but Yu Zhu had no feelings for it.

Why?

In the later years of Kangxi, the core interests of the old emperor were two things: secretly selecting the crown prince, and guarding against the Xuanwu Gate Incident.

Historically, after Tuoheqi was defeated, Longkodo served as the commander of the infantry for more than ten years.

It can be seen that Kangxi had extraordinary trust in Longkodo.

Kangxi knew better than anyone else that Longkodo was unwilling to go to Xi'an to endure hardships, and had always been thinking about the colorful world in Jiangnan.

The so-called Tong family's attempt to seize military power is actually nonsense, and Kangxi did not believe it at all.

Yuzhu doesn't care about that, just do what you have to do.

Generally speaking, Yuzhu's attitude towards his duties was to obey the old emperor's wishes. However, when he was really annoyed, Yuzhu dared to lose his temper and flip the table.

This is the serious Tong family!

If Yuzhu suffered a great grievance but kept silent about it, Kangxi would become suspicious.

At the Tongzhou Pier, the official ship on which Qian Jincheng and his son were riding finally docked after a long wait.

Today's Qing Dynasty is a typical official-based society.

They are all officials. Whose official ship docks first needs to be determined according to rank and status.

In fact, Qian Jincheng's ship had to queue up outside the pier when it arrived first.

Due to Qian Jincheng's low official position, the three of them, father and son, were the last to land.

As soon as Qian Jincheng's feet landed, he saw his married daughter walking towards him quickly.

"Daughter pays homage to father, and pays homage to brother." Qian Yinglan knelt down and saluted with joy.

"Alas, Mannia, it's all because of my bad fathering that I have dragged you down." Qian Jincheng always felt guilty towards Qian Yinglan in his heart.

Isn't it all because of Qian Jincheng that a good lady from a well-known family, the direct daughter-in-law of the No. 1 Scholar's Palace, turned into the desolate person she is today?

After all, Qian Jincheng and his two sons secretly contacted people with lofty ideals in order to plot against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. What they did was enough to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan.

With tears in her eyes, Qian Yinglan whispered: "Dad, as long as you and your brothers are safe, I, my daughter, will be content."

Looking back, it's been a hundred years.

The past is gone forever and can never go back!

Qian Jincheng actually received the order to go to Beijing while in prison in Changshu.

Because it was Yuzhu who submitted the recommendation in person, none of the local officials in Changshu dared to deliberately embarrass Qian Jincheng.

Everyone knew clearly that Qian Jincheng was involved in the murder, but they all had a tacit understanding and deliberately pretended to be stupid and let Qian Jincheng live.

In the Jiangnan area, there were actually quite a few old people from the former Ming Dynasty who plotted to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty.

Under normal circumstances, as long as the matter does not become a big deal, the local Han ministers will deliberately act stupid and act as if they don't know.

No anti-theft

After all, if you catch these old and young people from the past, you can be promoted, but your reputation will also be ruined.

It has been a long time since the Qing Dynasty entered the country, especially after the three feudal lords were pacified and Taiwan was taken over. People's hearts in the world have gradually stabilized, and most people think about stability.

The local officials also knew that these old men from the Ming Dynasty were just talking words and did not dare to formally raise troops, so it was impossible for them to achieve anything.

At most, they gathered together to scold the intruders, criticize the abominable hair-cutting order, and lament the hard work of the people.

A few words of grumbling, some discussion on paper, and once the emotions are vented and there is no more money left in the pockets, they disperse.

When they have more money in their pockets, these old people will gather together next time to criticize the Tatars, just to have fun with it, and the process goes on and on.

When Qian Jincheng came to Beijing, Yuzhu had no plans and gave him special care.

In essence, he belongs to the Qian family of the Donglin Party. Starting from Qian Qianyi, he has done few things that are beneficial to the people.

In the past, Yuzhu had a lot of dealings with cultural people.

These people talk about worrying about the country and the people, but in their hearts they are thieves and thieves, and all they see is profit.

Yuzhu knew what was going on, but Qian Jincheng was holding a breath in his heart and never let it out.

As a nobleman under Yuzhu's banner, if he was too kind to Qian Jincheng, he would be easily scolded.

Hey, Zhu Bajie looks in the mirror, why bother?

Therefore, Yuzhu just sent someone to help Qian Yinglan rent a small courtyard in the outer city for the convenience of the Qian family and his son, which was considered to be taking good care of them.

After Qian Yinglan followed Yuzhu, her monthly salary, plus the extra reward money, was more than enough to cover the daily expenses of the Qian family and his son.

Yuzhu is indeed very rich, but it is not necessary for him to provide money to support the old man who is a talker.

At this time, Yuzhu was accompanying Kangxi and was a guest in the palace of Prince Cheng, the third son.

This guy, Lao San, is capable of literary and military skills, but he always likes to get into trouble.

Kangxi really liked to be arty, and Lao San always wanted to do what he wanted.

However, when choosing the next emperor, the primary quality is how to make the Qing Dynasty permanent, rather than reciting poems and writing lyrics to add to the cake.

If poetry can be used as food, why would the Donglin Party members occupy large tracts of fertile farmland?

Not to mention anything else, the Qian family alone has thousands of acres of high-quality farmland in Changshu.

Kangxi and Lao San, you sang and I talked about poetry and lyrics, but Yuzhu stood aside listlessly, feeling very bored.

When it came to horseback riding and archery, Lao San once again showed his superb riding and archery skills, hitting the target with all ten shots.

Kangxi was very happy and said with a smile: "Not bad, very good, the prestige is still the same as before."

When Yuzhu was distracted, he suddenly heard Kangxi calling him.

"Yuzhu, why don't you show your skills and let me see if your skills have improved?" Kangxi personally ordered the generals, and Yuzhu was forced to go into battle.

The old emperor knew the power of Western firearms, but in public, he always praised the skills of riding and archery, deliberately ignoring the power of firearms.

To put it bluntly, this is a trick of pretending to be ignorant and deliberately deceiving the people.

The common people were raised to be extremely ignorant, but the emperor and ministers were blindly arrogant.

As time goes by, the Qing Dynasty will naturally be hammered!

No matter how powerful the firearms outside are, as long as the Han people in the Qing Dynasty do not master them, the Qing Dynasty's power will be forever!

This was Kangxi's true thought and influenced all his descendants.

Both Yongzheng and Qianlong suffered great losses in foreign wars.

Yongzheng, in particular, was an expert in domestic affairs and an outsider in foreign wars. The biggest fiasco of the Eight Banners soldiers' filial piety in every household occurred during his reign.

Ever since he won the first prize, Yuzhu had never touched the Classics and History Collection.

However, Yuzhu forced himself to practice riding and archery for an hour every day.

Yuzhu did not want to miss the battle for Khalkha between the Qing Dynasty and the Junggar Khanate, as well as the two snowy battles.

This is an excellent opportunity to seize military power and expand influence in the Qing military circles!

Kangxi paid special attention to riding and shooting, and Yuzhu had no choice but to force him to study and practice diligently.

After Yuzhu mounted his horse, he rode the horse in a circle around the field, then drew his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot at the target.

"Swish, swish, swish..." Yuzhu shot three arrows in a row. All three arrows missed the target, but they did not miss the target.

Kangxi stroked his beard and smiled and said: "Very good, this boy has obviously worked hard. I remember that the last time I came to your house, Yuzhu shot ten arrows, but three of them missed."

Looking at Yuzhu's heroic figure riding a horse and shooting arrows, Lao San's mood was extremely complicated.

In terms of riding and shooting skills, Lao San obviously killed Yu Zhu in an instant.

However, Yuzhu, who was not good at riding and shooting, could gain the emperor's trust and hold the greatest military power in the capital.

The third child is surrounded by sour scholars who are powerless to restrain a chicken.

If you can put the jade pillar into your sleeve, why worry about the big thing happening?

Once this idea occurred, it took root in Lao San’s mind and could never go away!

"Qing Qing, wash your face and take a rest." After Yuzhu dismounted, the third child called Yuzhu's cousin very affectionately in front of Kangxi.

Kangxi didn't have Lao Hutu, so he could naturally see that Lao San wanted to win over Yuzhu.

However, Kangxi was very clear-minded, and Yuzhu simply looked down on Lao San, who always liked to accuse others behind his back.

Except for Lao Wu and Lao Seven who were eliminated early, Yuzhu has always kept a distance from Lao San and Lao Si.

Not to mention Lao Ba and the others, they are Yu Zhu’s mortal enemies!

Kangxi knew everything!
