"Jin Guozheng, the governor of Zhili, was a Huizi. In the twelfth year of Kangxi, the imperial court ordered Zhao Liangdong, the chief military officer, to recruit brave soldiers in Guyuan to supplement the army. [ ] Jin Guozheng then joined Zhao Liangdong's banner and was first assigned to the Guyuan Army Racecourse. His main responsibilities were
Raise and train horses. Jin Guozheng practiced martial arts since he was a child. He was tall, strong, and agile. In addition to his boldness, he soon mastered the skills of horse training. Some unruly and fierce horses were trained by Jin Guozheng.
After training, they all turned into brave war horses full of spirituality."
In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Imperial Father and Regent Zhao Qiang was listening to a report from the official of the Ministry of War to Jin Guozheng, the admiral of the Green Camp. Officials from six ministries including Yuan Shijie of the Ministry of Rites, Shang Luo of the Ministry of Husbandry, Wu Peizhong of the Ministry of Industry, and Zhang Yu of the Ministry of Punishment were all present in the palace.
.
The person in charge of the staff department was named Chen, Minglu, from Fujian, so his speech had a strong Fujian accent, which made Zhao Qiang have a hard time listening. And Chen Minglu didn't know whether he said he could hear it or something, he said
Speaking of Jin Guozheng, he actually seemed to be talking about it, and his voice and appearance made people smile. Fortunately, Li Guangdi, the Minister of War who was forcibly appointed, was also from Fujian, but he spoke excellent Mandarin. With his supplementary explanations from time to time, Zhao Qiang
I generally understood what Chen Minglu was saying.
Li Guangdi was found together with the emperor's eldest son Yin. When Yin heard that the empress dowager was dead, the prince surrendered to Guan Ning, he was filled with grief and anger, and committed suicide by jumping into the Jinshui River on the way to escort. Li Guangdi had the intention to die with the emperor's eldest son, but what happened?
Suddenly thinking of Qian Qianyi's allusion of "the water is too cold" in the Nanming Dynasty, he pretended to be deaf and mute and didn't know anything about it. He didn't want to Guan Ning, but he didn't accept his trick. Two Chang Zai who brought Kangxi from the palace forced him to kill him.
, and then announced that he would temporarily act as Minister of War, and the appointment would be promulgated by the new emperor's edict. In desperation, Li Guangdi boarded the pirate ship, got to know each other with Yuan Shijie and others, and after chatting with the regent for a few words, he reluctantly
Willing to serve the Regent.
Before Chen Minglu was demoted, he was the chief of Zifangsi, and after he was demoted, he was still the chief. He saw that those who were younger than him suddenly transformed into either Shang, Shilang, or Jiuqing. He was also demoted, but he still remained the same.
He was in his original position and had not changed at all. This made him very confident. He finally seized the opportunity to face the regent directly. He decided to take advantage of it. This would be a bad thing. A good official
The background report meeting turned into a "talking meeting" for him alone. He talked endlessly and eloquently described what he knew about Jin Guozheng, the governor of Zhili.
"It is said that there was a two-year-old fierce horse in the racecourse at that time. It was all white except for the four red hooves. It was known as the "Blood Lotus". When the commander-in-chief Zhao Liangdong inspected the racecourse, he fell in love with this horse at a glance. But this horse has a fierce nature.
He was aggressive, and many of his drivers were injured, but he still could not be subdued. The owner of the racecourse was worried, so he posted a reward in the camp to anyone who could tame the horse. Jin Guozheng took it upon himself to ask for a reward instead of taming the horse.
Some experienced horse training sergeants in the racecourse were skeptical, wondering how this "two-pole" who didn't know his level could tame the "Blood Lotus". Jin Guozheng was ready, holding the saddle in his left hand and the whip in his right hand, and headed towards the "Blood Lotus"
" Walking away, I heard him shout: "Slave, the master is here!". This shout was like thunder falling to the ground. "Blood Lotus" roared for a long time, his eyes widened, and it had the potential to penetrate the internal organs;
The front hooves hit the ground, splashing grass and mud, and the snow-white body was gleaming with silver. It was running straight towards Jin Guozheng, as if it wanted to crush Jin Guozheng under its hooves. The onlookers' sergeants couldn't help shouting danger! Jin Guozheng was not afraid.
, he took advantage of the situation and dodged, his vigorous posture like a spring swallow darting through a willow, and escaped the deadly attack of the fierce horse. The front and back kicks of the fierce horse had no effect. It became angry, turned around sharply, and rushed towards Jin Guozheng again. Jin Guozheng.
Guozheng strode forward to greet him and shouted: "Slave, surrender quickly!" This shout was like a strong wind uprooting a tree, and the "Blood Lotus"'s front hooves stuck in the air for a long time and could not fall down. Everyone was stunned. Jin Guozheng was calm.
He stepped forward, pointed his whip at the horse and said: "Slave, the general is the greatest talent in the world. It is your honor for the general to take you as his mount. From today on, you must sacrifice your life to serve the general. If you have spirituality, you will obey me obediently."
Dispatch!" "Blood Lotus" was sweating profusely and barked several times, and came to Jin Guozheng. Jin Guozheng stroked him from beginning to end, then crawled under the horse's belly, back and forth three times, and then put the saddle and reins on it.
With one leap, "Blood Lotus" whipped up a gust of wind with its four hooves and headed straight for the military camp. Everyone cheered!"
After performing the performance of Admiral Jin Guyuan's surrender of the fierce horse in one breath, Chen Minglu took a breath and saw the Regent staring at him motionless. He only thought that his hard words had aroused the Regent's interest. He couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
Without waiting for the regent to say anything, he continued to talk to himself: "Zhao Liangdong was amazed when he heard how Jin Guozheng trained the horse. After that, Zhao Liangdong began to promote Jin Guozheng, and soon promoted him to the rank of President Qian. Kangxi Ten
In three years, Wu Sangui...Emperor Zhaowu launched an army from Yunnan to rebel against the Qing Dynasty. Zhao Liangdong was ordered to lead the Ningxia Green Camp troops to the south. Jin Guozheng went south with him as the Qianzong. Since then, he has made many military exploits, from the garrison to the general to the general. In the 20th year of Kangxi, Zhao Liangdong protected him.
, was transferred to the post of Admiral of Zhili and has been in office for more than four years."
Speaking of this, Chen Minglu wanted to talk about the deeds of Admiral Jin in the past few years when he was transferred to Zhili, but he was interrupted by Zhao Qiang, who was already dizzy and impatient, and asked Li Guangdi: "So, this is the state of Jin."
You are brave and resourceful, but you will definitely not surrender to me?"
Li Guangdi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The Kingdom of Jin was able to achieve its current status by pacifying the three vassals, and the prince was from the old tribe of King Pingxi. In folk words, when Jin Guozheng met the prince, they were enemies, and he was extremely jealous. How could he do that?
I am willing to surrender to the prince."
Yuan Shijie also believed that the Jin Kingdom would not surrender or be tied down. He said from the side: "The Jin Kingdom is a subordinate of Zhao Liangdong, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou. This man will never surrender, so we can only kill him."
"How to kill him?" Zhao Qiang glanced at Yuan Shijie, "Did he use the imperial edict to trick him into coming to the capital?"
Shijie shook his head and smiled slightly: "Jin Guozheng is stationed in Baoding Mansion. The prince's cavalry entered the capital yesterday. News will be leaked along the way. If someone is sent to announce Jin Guozheng, there is no guarantee that there will be no mishaps. Simply let him know
Before he knew it, he directly sent people to kill him in the name of the imperial edict."
"Are you going to kill him like this?" Zhao Qiang frowned: "Jin Guozheng should be a brave and resourceful man. With his background and character, how could he obey orders and let others kill him?"
Yuan Shijie glanced at Li Guangdi and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, as long as Mr. Li takes the imperial edict to Baoding, even if Jin Guozheng has eighteen courages, he will have to surrender his life obediently."
"I?"
Hearing Yuan Shijie throw the ball to him, Li Guangdi was a little unhappy, but he didn't say anything, because Jin Guozheng had always taken orders from Suo'etu, and the court people didn't know that he was Suo'etu's confidant, so as long as he brought the imperial edict, Jin Guangdi would
Guozheng absolutely did not dare to rebel. Even if he had the courage to take the risk, no one among his Green Camp subordinates would dare. A slap in the face would not make a difference. As long as Jin Guozheng was killed, people from the Guan Ning Army were placed to control the Admiral Biao Camp.
, Zhili is finally settled.
"Master Li, are you willing to go and get Jin Guozheng's head for me?" Zhao Qiang made some calculations and found that Li Guangdi was trustworthy and asked him to go to Baoding unless he didn't want his wife, children and children in Beijing.
"Your Majesty, please obey your orders!"
At this point, Li Guangdi had no choice but to accept it. One step at a time, if this Guan Ningjun can really conquer the world, that would be a good thing.
Seeing that Li Guangdi was willing to go, Zhao Qiang nodded and ordered the official Shang Suncong: "I am passing on this king's order to order Qi Zhuang of the cavalry division to be the governor of Zhili and the admiral of the Green Camp of Zhili. All the officials and generals of the Green Camp of Zhili will be at his disposal.
"After a pause, he added: "Excuse me, Master Sun, please go and draft an imperial edict for me now. I think Master Sun should be able to understand what I mean."
"Xiaguan understands, Xiaguan will go and handle it for the prince now!"
Sun Congyi bowed and quickly retreated. After he left, Zhao Qiang sent another order: "The emperor has decreed that Zhao Guohua, the commander-in-chief of Gubeikou, Jiang Yi, the commander-in-chief of Malan Town, Du Zifei, the commander-in-chief of Xuanhua Town, and Zhou Baoliang, the commander-in-chief of Tianjin Town,
Commander-in-chief Fei Dagang of Zhengding Town, Commander-in-Chief Zhou Feng of Daming Town, Commander-in-Chief Hua Yunguo of Tongyong Town, and Commander-in-Chief Hu Wei of Taining Town all came to Beijing to meet the king. Those who do not come within three days will be dismissed and investigated!"
