On the official ship dock in Fuzhou, Fuzhou General Huang Bingyue and Fujian Governor Lu Youlong were far apart. You didn't look at me, and I didn't look at you.
Huang Bingyue and Lu Youlong were both bannermen of the Han army, but they had a serious feud.
The reason is actually very simple. Everything in the world is for profit.
As usual, the Fuzhou general also served as the supervisor of the Fujian Customs. He had both power and money, so he was very happy.
However, Huang Bingyue was an extremely greedy man. He indulged in smuggling and unscrupulously exploited foreign and Han merchants along the coast of Fujian.
What made Lu Youlong very dissatisfied was that businessmen often disappeared from the world together with their people and boats.
The family members of the victim were dissatisfied and not only often appealed to the superiors, but also frequently went out to Beijing to control the situation, causing uproar and disturbing Lu Youlong.
As we all know, what local officials hate the most are unruly people who go beyond the level to complain, and they will quickly get rid of them.
The logic is actually not complicated.
As the saying goes, if you can endure a moment of anger, you will avoid a hundred days of worry!
The ordinary people have been wronged, their money has been lost, they have no way to complain at the local level, and they feel that they have suffered a loss. Isn't that the end?
If you dare to go beyond the level and submit a complaint, if the evaluation above is not good, it will be equivalent to cutting off the promotion path of local officials.
This hatred is simply irreconcilable.
Among the cross-level appeals, the one that causes the most gnashing of teeth is none other than the "Beijing Control".
Complaints are also hierarchical.
In addition to county control, state control, government control and road control, there is also "provincial control".
Below provincial control, local officials still have greater room for maneuver through various connections or bribery.
Beijing Enterprises is different.
As usual, all Beijing-controlled cases taken over by the Shuntian Prefecture or the Ministry of Punishment must be reported to the old emperor.
In today's Qing Dynasty, the impression of the old emperor is bad. Alas, he will never be able to succeed!
Knowing that Yuzhu was coming, Lu Youlong also inquired in advance. In addition to his liking for married women, Yuzhongtang's reputation in officialdom had always been very good.
He values trust and friendship, and is very protective of his shortcomings.
That's all. What's more important is that as long as it's something Yuzhu promised, there's no precedent for going back on it.
From Lu Youlong's point of view, to be honest, I'm afraid that Yuzhu doesn't have any hobbies.
The same is true for the old emperor.
In the Qing Dynasty, enemies were supervised on the surface and treated as equals.
In fact, it also needs to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis.
Now that the three most senior officials in Fujian are all bannermen, the situation becomes particularly delicate.
Others don't know the details of Yuzhu, so it's impossible for Lu Youlong not to know.
Because Lu Youlong was a governor of Fujian who was born in the Zhenglan banner of the Han army.
The foundation of the old Tong family is the Zhenglan Banner of the Han Army.
Thinking back then, when Kangxi ascended the throne, Tong Tulai held the military power of the Zhenglan Banner of the Han Army, which was also one of the very important weights.
Besides, Yuzhu was born in Xianghuang Banner in Manchuria, and has long served as the governor of the affairs of the three banners of Zhenglan Banner. He is already the confirmed talkative of the old Tong family.
At the beginning of the establishment of the Eight Banners system, each old flag owner enjoyed absolute power over his own banner.
The officials and soldiers under the banner must first be loyal to the banner owner, and then follow the banner owner to be loyal to the Khan or the emperor.
Once the flag owner becomes ambitious, the people under his banner can only follow him.
Starting from Huang Taiji, going through Shunzhi's torments, and then Kang Mazi's continuous reduction of power, the power of the old banner leaders has been greatly reduced.
In this dynasty, the Dutong of each banner was the actual person in charge who managed the flag affairs for the flag owner.
Precisely because Lu Youlong was a governor from the Zhenglan Banner of the Han Army, the old emperor was worried about the constraints of the discord between the governors, so he specially arranged for Yu Zhu to serve as the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang.
Discord between governors and governors was the norm and was conducive to consolidating imperial power.
However, when a powerful enemy is present, close cooperation with governors is also necessary.
After the official ship docked, the gold-plated official title plate of Zhuangyuanlang was still the first to appear.
Lu Youlong was a Gongsheng student, and his family name was far inferior to that of Yuzhu.
Huang Bingyue, the general of Fuzhou, was fluent in writing and had no fame. He relied on the influence of his ancestors to enter the officialdom through the Ministry of Household Affairs.
In the Qing Dynasty, the proper way to become an official was to take the imperial examination and become an official. Becoming an official through other channels was just a sideshow.
The eight-carriage sedan carried the jade pillar, disembarked from the boat and landed on the shore, and landed steadily at the foot of the steps in front of the reception pavilion.
Lu Youlong turned his head and looked deeply at Zhao Xiang, the prefect of Fuzhou.
Zhao Xiang raised his right hand high, and in an instant, the pier was filled with drums and cannons.
As soon as Yuzhu got out of the official sedan, he met Lu Youlong's humble smiling face.
"Lü Youlong under my banner, please rule the capital of Da'an." Lu Youlong saluted without hesitation, not caring at all about the dignity of the governor of the province.
Huang Bingyue, who came from behind, saw this scene and couldn't help but feel hatred in his heart.
What a cunning Mr. Lu!
In the Qing Dynasty, there were no special rules regarding greetings between governors, except that they could not exceed the rules when welcoming imperial envoys.
Lu Youlong is the governor of the second rank, and Yuzhu is the governor of the first rank. It makes perfect sense for them to meet each other.
To put it bluntly, it makes sense that the governor didn't want to come to greet the governor. At most, it just didn't look good.
After all, the governor is not the governor's superior, and the governor is not the governor's subordinate.
If you don't want to be a bird, you won't be a bird. There is nothing wrong with it.
However, what Huang Bingyue didn't expect was that Lu Youlong, a bastard, actually paid homage to Yuzhu with a flag ceremony.
It is only natural and impeccable for people under the banner to pay homage to the commander-in-chief of the banner!
Yuzhu looked deeply at Lu Youlong and said in his heart, this old boy is very cunning and must not be underestimated.
The dignified governor of Fujian, one of the most senior civil servants in Fujian Province, actually dwarfed his body in front of the officials of the whole province. What kind of magnanimity and magnanimity is this?
Of course, Yuzhu was not an idiot. He quickly leaned down, held Lu Youlong's arms with his own hands, and said gently: "Lv Gong, the flag returns to the flag, and the public is to the public. Although you and I are officials in the same dynasty, we are not mutually exclusive."
Under the leadership, why is this so important?"
Huang Bingyue finally got the chance to fight back. He quickly came up and said haha: "Yes, yes, what Yu Zhongtang said is absolutely true. I am a courtier and should follow the "Qing Dynasty Ceremony" and perform court etiquette.
ah."
While Lu Youlong stood up slowly, he said: "Our Eight Banners entered the pass and established the Central Plains. We are unstoppable. We rely on strict orders. I dare to ask General Huang, how can we and other people under our banner forget our roots?"
Yuzhu nodded secretly. Lu Youlong's question seemed to be of no importance. In fact, what Lu Youlong was talking about was an ethical issue.
First the Eight Banners entered the pass, and then the ministers gathered at the court. As the saying goes, the flags are in front, and the court is behind.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as the world of Manchuria remains, Lu Youlong's logic will be applicable to all countries.
Huang Bingyue was never quick-witted, so he was immediately stunned by the question, and cold sweat broke out on his vest.
Yuzhu was here to suppress thieves, not to form gangs. Naturally, he didn't want to watch Huang Bingyue sit on the wax.
"This is not an imperial city, so we should all discuss things on our own terms, right?"
However, before Yuzhu could finish his words, he saw several people wearing sackcloth and mourning breaking in from outside the crowd.
As we all know, when a governor takes office, he must choose an auspicious day in advance.
On an auspicious day, if you bump into a person wearing a mourning hat, if you put it in the mouth of a Feng Shui master, it will be a big disaster!
