Arrogant? Complacent? greedy for enjoyment, the three princesses have nothing. She is a corporal, she takes the pain of the soldiers in her heart, and she is not cowardly and can be bullied, and her martial arts are strong and erudite, so that they are beyond their reach.

Such a clear reward and punishment, a bright and upright princess, is the gospel of the Beiguang Army.

To be a soldier is to carry your life to your head, who wants to waste your youth in the army and return home with an injury. Which soldier has never burned the ambition of making meritorious achievements, fantasizing about returning to his hometown in glory, proving that they are not soldiers and ruffians that everyone despises.

This desire made them support the Third Highness, and they had the heart to move closer to her, wanting to make a future under her.

Gu Xiaoxiao could naturally detect the changes in the Beiguang Army, and this change made her secretly happy in her heart. Although she has the experience of setting up an organization or business house and growing from scratch, she has also assisted the Wing King to become the uncrowned king.

But it was the first time for her to really form an army of her own, which involved all aspects, and she would be charged with rebellion if she was not careful.

While building a good relationship with the soldiers, Gu Xiaoxiao did not forget to have a good relationship with the officials along the way, and at the same time took the time to investigate the customs and specialties in various places.

Along the way, Gu Xiaoxiao gained a lot, and it took three and a half months to go to Yuecheng in the hinterland of northern Xinjiang.

The city tower is tall and towers into the sky, majestic and unparalleled, this is an old city with a history of hundreds of years, after the destruction of the war still stands on the land of northern Xinjiang.

When she first arrived in Yuecheng, Gu Xiaoxiao had a closed door, and there were two or three kittens at the welcome banquet, and almost all the powerful generals did not show up under various excuses. Taishou is cautious, and at the banquet, he only drinks with a pleasant face, and he can't find any mistakes.

The situation was more severe than Gu Xiaoxiao expected. Congjun, the deputy general in the capital, and his sisters at home stayed in northern Xinjiang, and none of the generals who had a friendship with Cong General came today.

Northern Xinjiang is Gu Xiaoxiao's feudal state, although the control of the feudal king over the territory is not as close as it was hundreds of years ago, but it is not an exaggeration to call the emperor of Jutu.

After Emperor Qing He ascended the throne, the world was peaceful, but there were occasional commotions in northern Xinjiang, so the country's military strength was tilted to the north. Most of the soldiers here are drawn from all over the country, and selfish people are inevitable.

Another reason why the Qinghe Emperor sent the three princesses to take up the vassal was that there were many changes in northern Xinjiang. The generals went their own way, and gave orders to the imperial court. Moreover, there are often commotions at the border gates, and grain, grass and weapons are distributed every year, but the enemy has repeatedly banned them. Emperor Qinghe was afraid of chaos in the world. That's why Yang Qiongwan was sent to prevent trouble.

After being dismounted. Gu Xiaoxiao didn't take it to heart, on the one hand, she took Zuo Lin to various stations to reward the soldiers, and on the other hand, she wore a white dragon fish suit, disguised and sneaked into the mansions of various generals with her superb martial arts to find out the truth.

At the same time, Gu Xiaoxiao appointed Zuo Lin and Jia Commander to visit various camps and secretly count the number of troops on the grounds of rewarding soldiers.

Unable to eat hot tofu in a hurry, Gu Xiaoxiao methodically carried out an investigation of the forces in northern Xinjiang. At the same time, she made private contact with the untouchables she had sent to northern Xinjiang. The first group of immigrants had been here for two years, and they came with a mission. He is familiar with the terrain and population of northern Xinjiang, and also has an understanding of the population in the county and the wealthy families.

This data is extremely useful to Gu Xiaoxiao, her previous business was not in vain, and the steady stream of immigrants sent to northern Xinjiang finally came in handy at this moment.

After a detailed investigation, Gu Xiaoxiao came to a shocking conclusion that the stubborn disease in northern Xinjiang had become a cancer that had to be cut off with a knife.

Northern Xinjiang is cold and hard, the people live in poverty, and you can't get much oil and water by being a soldier here, but being a commander is different. The imperial court had to send grain and grass to the frontier every year, and some generals received air salaries and falsely reported the number of soldiers to receive grain and grass.

This is not the most money-making, Qingluo Country strictly prohibits the private sale of armor and weapons, but the local rich have the need to equip the estate, so reselling weapons has become another way for people with a heart to make money.

If the above can be explained by the desire for profit, Gu Xiaoxiao vaguely investigated another truth, which can already be regarded as treason against the enemy.

The iron casting technology of the salt refining box in Qingluo is much stronger than that of the surrounding barbarian tribes, and the barbarians are good at raising horses and have a large number of cattle and sheep jewelry. Therefore, some soldiers, in order to seek more profits, took advantage of the cover of buying and selling cloth and porcelain business during the mutual market, and secretly sold grain and weapons to barbarians.

Gu Xiaoxiao was very indignant about the behavior of raising tigers, and after her on-the-spot investigation and analysis in northern Xinjiang, she found that this chain of interests was more complicated than she could have imagined.

The reason why the barbarians can repeatedly cause chaos is not only because they are good at horse warfare, but also because the border city defense is far from being as strong as imagined.

Since the founding of the northern frontier, the country has been peaceful, the west and the east are adjacent to other feudal kingdoms in the south, and the relationship between the states is good, so it has been peaceful.

Therefore, serving in the military in Qingluo, doing more errands of drinking water, digging ditches and repairing roads, at most it is just a level bandit, maintaining law and order in the disaster year to avoid conflicts between displaced people, and the only one who has the opportunity to fight on the battlefield is the northern Xinjiang.

The northern Xinjiang military camp is the most dangerous in Qingluo country, and it is also the place where promotion may be the largest and fastest, many local generals are from northern Xinjiang, and Commander Jia stood out after several victories in northern Xinjiang.

Before coming to northern Xinjiang for an in-depth investigation, Gu Xiaoxiao thought that the army was corrupt and derelict in its duties at most, and deceived the superiors and subordinates.

It was only here that she discovered how evil human nature can be.

Those generals, those "pillars of the country" who led the imperial court, were still not satisfied with the vegetarian meal, and they had to do everything possible to scavenge the plaster of the soldiers and step on the corpses of the people to obtain money and glory.

They regarded the barbarians as wolves, regarded the people as cattle and sheep, fed the wild wolves with grain, grass and weapons, and when they were full of food and drink to harass the border people, and when the people were slaughtered and their neighbors were scattered, they sent troops to repel the barbarians, so as to obtain military merits.

Military exploits are based on the blood and tears of the people, if he hadn't come to Northern Xinjiang in person, Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't believe that there were such ruthless people in the world who disregarded their family and country.

From the generals, General Li, General Zhu, and those generals who were about to tremble when they stomped their feet in northern Xinjiang, they were all participants in these dirty deals.

In addition, they also weakened the influence of the imperial court in the army. In a vain attempt to turn officers and soldiers into their own private soldiers. Fortunately, the ancients had a strong sense of loyalty and patriotism, and although a few people had great influence in the army, they were still able to control the thinking of the whole army.

Of course, there is another important reason for this. Several generals were quite loyal to the middle-level leaders, but they exploited the salaries and food, grass and weapons of the low-level soldiers, and oppressed the low-level soldiers. Some soldiers and civilians who knew the truth were full of resentment towards those high-ranking generals.

This is very important, if you make good use of it, you may be able to achieve unexpected gains by relying on these low-level soldiers to turn the tables in the future.

The stakes are high. While Gu Xiaoxiao was indignant, she paid more attention to her own safety, because there were too many generals involved in this matter. In order to avoid startling the snake. Gu Xiaoxiao didn't dare to make a big noise to find evidence, and she couldn't even use the power on the surface to transmit news to the capital.

After entering the northern frontier, Gu Xiaoxiao felt like stepping into a quagmire, and she didn't know how many eyes were staring at her. Don't say it's a post station. I'm afraid that her palace is not completely safe.

Fortunately, Gu Xiaoxiao brought enough guards from the capital. directly changed the people in the palace in the name of justice.

Not long after coming to Northern Xinjiang, someone had the idea of stuffing people into Gu Xiaoxiao's backyard, and she directly found two innocent teenagers in the local area, accepted them as husbands and servants, and declined the kindness of others.

These two people have an innocent and reliable family background, and the kinship relationship is simple, Gu Xiaoxiao will take his family as slaves and protect them under his wings, so as not to be bought by people with hearts. leaks the real pattern of getting along between her and the two.

The eyebrows of the two teenagers are clear and beautiful, and they don't meet such a good thing. Even if they were just acting on the scene and acting as a smoke bomb for His Highness, they were still happy and worried about Gu Xiaoxiao's food, clothing, housing and transportation.

In order to smoothly spread the news to the capital and into the ears of Emperor Qing He, Gu Xiaoxiao copied the evidence he had worked so hard to collect and handed it over to two groups of people, and sent it to the capital by different routes.

The people she used were the immigrants who were sent to the frontier two years ago under various names, they were loyal to Gu Xiaoxiao, and they were the wise people among the immigrants, and Gu Xiaoxiao had high hopes for them.

In the process of delivering the letter, Gu Xiaoxiao was not idle, and Chen Fang, a subordinate official sent to her by Emperor Qinghe, was honest and silent on the way to northern Xinjiang. But after entering Northern Xinjiang, after King Jing and his party were snubbed and followed Gu Xiaoxiao through Northern Xinjiang, Chen Fang also had a certain understanding of the latest situation in Northern Xinjiang.

Chen Fang's eyes were sharp, and the questions he raised were somewhat consistent with the results of Gu Xiaoxiao's careful investigation. Moreover, she stayed in Northern Xinjiang for a few years many years ago, and unreservedly introduced the development process of Northern Xinjiang to Gu Xiaoxiao in recent years, which saved her from taking many unjust roads.

Gu Xiaoxiao always felt that Chen Fang was not as simple as it seemed, and sure enough, three months later, Chen Fang took out the secret decree of Emperor Qinghe, authorizing Gu Xiaoxiao to temporarily handle matters on behalf of Emperor Qinghe if he found out that the situation in Northern Xinjiang was wrong.

This will is like a rain to Gu Xiaoxiao, the secret decree of Emperor Qinghe gives very broad authority, and the first thing she does is to expand the army. At the same time, she also has a little more admiration for Emperor Qinghe, she is not as easy to fool as in the plot, and she is not as easy to fool as she imagined in order to monopolize power, suspecting her children and cronies of delaying the military situation.

Gu Xiaoxiao did not worry about the money in hand, and the treatment given during the conscription was obviously better than that of other armies, which attracted many people to sign up for a while.

Commander Jia is very jealous of the situation in northern Xinjiang, and the position of the three princesses is simply frightening, but in her observation, the three princesses are careful and calm, and there is no rush for quick success, and Mount Tai does not change its color, and she can easily expand her power in the crisis-ridden northern Xinjiang, and she is definitely a person who can take refuge.

In order to go further, Commander Jia devoted himself wholeheartedly to conscription, even if he resolved the interference of several forces in northern Xinjiang, and launched a conscription dispute with the Congjia Army and the Li Jiajun with reasonable grounds.

The men and horses sent by Gu Xiaoxiao used fast horses, carrier pigeons and other ways to transmit the news to Jiang Yujing in the capital in the fastest time.

Two identical letters were in his hand, and Gu Xiaoxiao was terrified after opening one of them, and did not dare to delay entering the palace overnight, and handed the news of Northern Xinjiang to Emperor Qinghe.

In the past year, the imperial court's ability to control the northern frontier has become older and weaker, and the weapons and grain required on the border have increased, but the incursions have become more and more intensive. Emperor Qinghe was troubled and believed that there was a cat in the northern Xinjiang, and in order to relieve the crisis when the fire came, she sent Yang Qiongwan over.

really got the news of the northern Xinjiang, and found that the generals she appointed were actually in a nest with the barbarians, and their glory and titles were piled up little by little by stepping on the flesh and blood of the people and ordinary soldiers.

After reigning for so many years, Emperor Qinghe never knew that under the appearance of national peace and security, there was such a national silverfish hidden. She originally thought that Beijiang was just a small injury, but now it seems that behind the pus, the rot has penetrated deep into the bones and blood.

Emperor Qinghe was a little glad that before Yang Qiong's evening departure, she had issued a secret decree that if the situation in northern Xinjiang was severe, she could handle the military affairs of northern Xinjiang on her behalf.

In order to be on the safe side, Emperor Qinghe issued several more orders, one encrypted and sent to the northern Xinjiang through special channels, and the rest was sent to several other military camps in the country.

Allowing the cancer in northern Xinjiang to spread and suffering endlessly, Emperor Qinghe was worried about the instability of the dragon chair under the seat, but she was more worried about the decline of Jiangshan Sheji.

Just when Gu Xiaoxiao was fighting wits and courage with a few old foxes, Yang Qionghua and Yang Qiongwan were in a different situation.

Since Yang Qionghua arrived in Yingzhou City, she was unhappy like a sleepy bird out of the cage, and the officials of Yingzhou were respectful to her, for fear of leaving a bad impression on her.

After all, Yingzhou is only three hundred miles away from the capital, and if the eldest daughter of the emperor is in a bad mood, she can reach the heavens in less than three days. Emperor Qinghe favored the eldest daughter of the emperor, which was a well-known thing, so the officials of Yingzhou were very cooperative with Yang Qionghe and his entourage.

When Yang Qionghua was in the DPRK, her ambitions were greatly constrained by the conservative faction in the DPRK, and many of the policies she thought were excellent and advanced were difficult to pass and tried in Qingluo.

Now that she is in Yingzhou, she has the highest status here, and she has a complete set of personnel appointments, Yang Qionghua finally has the opportunity to display her ideas.

Since the period of service was only three years, Yang Qionghua was bent on impressing the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and proving the advanced and correct nature of her ideas to the imperial court.

For example, increasing landlords' taxes and reducing civilian taxes, building academies to create reading opportunities for ordinary children, etc., Gu Xiaoxiao's mind is a good law.

However, these decrees touched the interests of many people, although local officials promulgated them in order to curry favor with the eldest daughter of the emperor. However, the officials prevaricated one after another, and the landlords, large and small, resorted to various tactics to avoid the increase in taxes, and those who established academies took the opportunity to profit from them.

These policies, which were originally beneficial to the national economy and the people's livelihood, were caused by the prevarication of local administrations at all levels, and they did not become as blockbuster as Yang Qionghua envisioned. (To be continued......)
