Cheating Kangxi Chapter 551 The Arrogant Nian Gengyao
This time when he left Beijing for Xi'an, Yuzhu had already served as a feudal official twice.
According to the unwritten promotion rules, after serving two terms of feudalism, Yuzhu only needs to serve as the minister of the six departments once more to be qualified as an "extra bachelor" or "associate bachelor".
Associate bachelor's degree, not co-sponsored bachelor's degree. Co-organizing bachelor's degree was a title that only existed in the Qianlong Dynasty.
On top of the additional grandmasters and associate grandmasters, there is the Dongge grandmaster.
In fact, Dongge Grand Bachelor is an entry-level Grand Bachelor, the younger brother among many Grand Bachelors.
When going to Xi'an this time, the old emperor did not let Yuzhu take away all the new troops, but only allowed him to take away half.
Originally, the old emperor thought that Yuzhu would come to bother him. Unexpectedly, Yuzhu did come to him, but he was talking about the firearms camp.
After some bargaining, Yuzhu was satisfied and took away 3,000 new troops and 3,000 firearms battalion officers and soldiers.
The old emperor's firearms camp only had a total of 12,000 people and more than 500 artillery pieces.
Today, a quarter of the firearms camp has been brought to the west by Yuzhu, which shows the old emperor's fear of the Dzungar Khanate.
Last time, when Yuzhu went to Xining to take up a post, he already had experience in marching. This time, he still led the troops along the old road.
The Yellow River has nine bends and only one set of interests.
Yuzhu led his troops out of the Great Wall and went around to Baodou County in Shanxi Province. Then the whole army boarded ships and sailed south along the Yellow River to the Sanhekou of Tongguan. Then they went west against the Sanhekou to Xi'an Prefecture.
It is common sense that the governor is in charge of military affairs and the governor is in charge of civil affairs.
However, in addition to the green battalion troops directly under Fubiao, Yuzhu is also the acting general of Xi'an. He is in charge of more than 18,000 Eight Banners troops stationed in the city and 6,000 Eight Banners troops transferred from the capital, with a total strength of more than 24,000.
people.
These 24,000 people are not green soldiers, but serious elites of the Eight Banners.
Common sense tells us that the frontier army is the most effective force, and the Qing Dynasty was no exception.
Due to the huge threat from the Junggar Khanate, the Eight Banners troops stationed in Xi'an must be the most effective elite force in the entire Qing Dynasty.
On the day Yuzhu arrived in Xi'an, the newly appointed chief envoy of Shaanxi Province, Etuo, led all the civil and military officials in the city to the reception pavilion thirty miles away to wait for Yuzhu.
On the other side of the Etuo, there are the four Eight Banners officials under General Xi'an, such as the deputy commander, Xie Ling and Zuo Ling.
The system of the Qing Dynasty was actually quite particular.
Logically speaking, Yuzhu is the highest military and political officer of Shaanxi. However, Nian Gengyao, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, can also intervene in Shaanxi's political affairs.
This creates a situation of mutual restraint.
When gods fight, the kid always suffers.
All the officials in Shaanxi Province are in a situation of one servant and two masters. They have to listen to Yuzhu's instructions, but they dare not disobey Nian Gengyao's instructions. It's a headache!
The first thing Shaanxi officials saw was Yuzhu's number one official title plaque.
After the grand ceremony, Yuzhu's official sedan appeared in front of everyone.
As soon as Yuzhu got out of the official sedan, Tayong, the deputy commander of the left wing, quickly led his subordinates to greet him.
"Ta Yong, the deputy commander of the left wing of the Eight Banners of Xi'an Garrison, please be safe, Mr. Zhu!"
Even though Ta Yong was the deputy capital commander of the second rank, he respectfully paid his respects to Zha Qian.
If it were inside the capital, Tayong would only need to touch his shoulders. However, this was in Xi'an, where troops could be sent to march westward at any time.
As we all know, after the war begins, if the general wants to find an excuse to trick the deputy commander into death, it will be easy!
Tayong is also an old bureaucrat, and he has long known how powerful Yuzhu is. Since he can't afford to offend, he should simply be honest.
Hehe, if you are not powerful, how can you interfere in the government and military for two terms?
Yuzhu bumped into Tayong politely and did not look down on Tayong just because he was the leader of the general's palace.
During the meeting along the way, Tayong introduced that there were four deputy commanders under the Xi'an General's Mansion, 18 assistant commanders and 96 assistant commanders.
After the ceremony with the bannermen and officials was completed, it was the turn of the forehead supporter to step forward.
Although Etuo was a bannerman, he served as the chief envoy of Shaanxi Province. He was naturally one level lower than the bannermen officials in the General's Mansion.
"I am entrusted by my humble duty to pay my respects to Jade Palace Protector."
In order to address the issue of calling Yuzhu, Etuo spent most of the night studying it with his master.
Yuzhu was not only the general of Xi'an, the governor of Shaanxi, but also the prince Shaobao, and also had the title of auxiliary Duke.
According to the custom in the officialdom, as long as the official position is significant enough and has real power, the title should not be mentioned as much as possible.
Just mentioning the title, it is easy for people to think of the four words "eating and waiting to die", which is too unlucky!
Etuo took the lead, and all the officials in Shaanxi breathed a sigh of relief.
If you follow Etuo's call, even if you call the wrong one, it will be Etuo who takes the blame and it has nothing to do with anyone else.
Yuzhu didn't have that much official spirit in him. He understood very well that the issue of titles in the officialdom was to respect his position, not the person.
The Governor-General of Sichuan and Shaanxi and the Governor of Shaanxi are stationed in the same city. Among them, the Governor's Yamen is at the North Courtyard Gate, and the Governor's Yamen is at the South Courtyard Gate.
In addition, Xi'an General's Mansion is located in Mancheng.
After the Xinhai Revolution, the entire city of Xi'an was captured by the rebellious Shaanxi New Army. Strangely, from General Wen Rui to ordinary bannermen, there was no news from them all.
As usual, when the governor takes office, he enters the city through the north gate, which is Anyuan Gate. The governor enters the city through the south gate, which is Yongning Gate, to show his intention to supervise the enemy.
The enemy's body is not the enemy's body. It means that the governor and the governor are not subordinate to each other and have roughly equal status.
Accompanied by Etuo, Yuzhu got up in a sedan chair and went to the governor's office. Tayong, the deputy governor of the left wing, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
One person holds two important positions. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there has been no other person besides Yuzhu.
Anyway, whether Yuzhu wants to live in Mancheng or the governor's Yamen is not Tayong's business.
The right-wing vice-capital, Echuan, saw Tayong looking in the direction of the south gate of Xi'an in ecstasy. He also sighed secretly. From now on, it will definitely be a troubled time.
Because when General Yuzhu of Xi'an arrived, Governor Nian Gengyao of Sichuan and Shaanxi dared not come to greet him in person. Isn't this too arrogant?
If Yuzhu was just the governor of Shaanxi, Nian Gengyao could indeed accept him or not. No matter how he decided, it would not be considered rude.
However, Yuzhu was the official acting general of Xi'an, and his position was higher than that of the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi.
However, no matter how powerful Nian Gengyao was, he could not reach out to the whole city.
Yuzhu deliberately chose not to live in Mancheng, but went to the Shaanxi Governor's Yamen. That was because the Eight Banners soldiers stationed there were naturally unlikely to be convinced by Nian Gengyao.
Historically, Nian Gengyao actually relied on the support of Lao Si to launch bloody terror in the northwest army, and then barely suppressed the proud soldiers and generals under the Eight Banners.
net
When Lao Si wanted to deal with Nian Gengyao, his Eight Banners soldiers sold him out without hesitation.
As for Yuzhu, after all, he is also a great nobleman under the banner of Xianghuang in Manchuria.
Under the Eight Banners system, only the flag status is recognized and no one is recognized. In other words, whether you are a native Manchurian bannerman or a new Manchurian bannerman who carries the flag, you are all one family.
The Han army where Nian Gengyao belonged had a white flag, which was different. The Nian family were previously captive Han slaves.
I despise chains, they are everywhere.
The Shaanxi Governor's Yamen is located about one mile north of the Drum Tower on West Street, the former Xi'an Municipal Government and the current seat of the Lianhu District Government.
Yuzhu had spent some time in Xi'an, so he naturally knew this old allusion.
Therefore, after entering the door, Yuzhu walked around, comparing with interest, what are the differences between ancient and modern times?
Coincidentally, the Sichuan-Shaanxi Governor's Mansion where Nian Gengyao was stationed happened to be the seat of the Beilin District Government today.
After entering the inner courtyard, Cao Yi, who had come to Xi'an with Yuzhu, came forward with a smile.
Yuzhu knew in his heart that the old emperor deliberately asked Cao Yi to accompany him to Xi'an, not to spy on him, but to torment him.
Based on the old emperor's understanding of Yuzhu's abilities, he certainly understood that it was impossible for Cao Yi to monitor Yuzhu.
However, the existence of Cao Yi will inevitably remind Yuzhu of Fu Peng's huge handle and that his wife, concubines and children are all being held hostage in the capital.
This person will be used as an excuse if he has something he values.
After Mrs. Sun and Cao Yin both passed away, Cao Yong inherited his father's business and took over Jiangning Weaving, so Cao Yi had nothing to worry about.
After being served by Cao Yi, Yuzhu had just changed into casual clothes, sat down and drank half a cup of tea, when he heard that Wu Jiang had come to report that Shaanxi Chief Minister Etuo asked to see him.
When Yuzhu heard this, he laughed and said: "It must be a young man, and there is another evil moth."
Cao Yi was so nourished by the jade pillars along the way that he felt so beautiful.
She couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Sir, how did you know it was the young man who made the move?" She deliberately joined in the fun to make the man happy.
Yuzhu glanced at the knowledgeable Cao Yi and said with a smile: "When a new official takes office, he ignores the rules of official business for half a month and even pays no attention to his forehead. Apparently he has encountered something that he cannot handle."
Sure enough, after Etuo came in, he said with a grimace: "Genuine Palace Protector, the annual production platform requires the Shaanxi Grain Platform to transport 300,000 shi of grain to Xining within half a month. Alas, how can this be done?"
"
Yuzhu understood as soon as he heard it, that this was a bad intention.
The truth is actually obvious. Although Nian Gengyao is arrogant, he is indeed quite talented. It is impossible for him to give tasks that Shaanxi Liangtai cannot complete.
Etuo came to Yuzhu deliberately, obviously because he wanted Yuzhu and Nian Gengyao to collide. Then, Shaanxi's officials, big and small, could act as wallflowers and have both sides.
If Yuzhu is really a young and energetic keyboard warrior, he may have fallen into the trap of Shaanxi's old bureaucrats.
Hehe, in the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty, the position was given by the old emperor, but the prestige needed to be established by Yuzhu himself.
Yuzhu remained silent the whole time, listening patiently to Etuo's nagging. Finally, he said calmly: "Since you are Zhazi under the annual system, brother Er, you go to the south courtyard gate to ask him for an explanation.
That’s the real truth, right?”
"This..." Etuo never expected that Yuzhu would be so slippery. For a moment, he was stunned.
Yuzhu picked up the tea cup but didn't drink it. Wu Jiang then shouted loudly: "Send off the guests!"
Looking at Etuo's depressed back, Yuzhu knew in his heart that the fight between him and Nian Lianggong had not officially begun yet.
