Ning Yu is quite familiar with Zeng Jing's impression, because this person set off big waves during the Yongzheng period, but Ning Yu's impression of him is not good, because his anti-Qing position is not firm!

In real history, Zeng Jing was originally just a teacher in the county, when Yongzheng had just succeeded to the throne for a few years, and then some merchants passing by Hunan privately spread that Yongzheng relied on conspiracy to get the throne and deviated from morality in the imperial court.

These were originally just false rumors, but they were worshiped by Zeng Jing as a treasure, and then he thought that the Qing Dynasty was about to end, so he thought about overthrowing the imperial court, if he said this, Zeng Jing was just a bold and reckless fanatic. But some of his later methods made people feel that this person was sick in the brain.

Zeng Jing's miraculous operation was that he heard that Yue Zhongqi, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi at that time, was a descendant of Yue Fei, so he made up that this person was loyal and brave, and he had a heavy army, and he would definitely not gain the trust of the imperial court, so he sent his student Zhang Xi to submit a letter to Yue Zhongqi, counting Yongzheng's various mistakes, and persuading him to raise the flag and rebel after being loyal and brave again.

As a result, it was obvious that Yue Zhongqi was deeply valued by the imperial court, so naturally he would not deviate from the imperial court, and then told Emperor Yongzheng about this matter. And Emperor Yongzheng didn't take it seriously, but thought that this was a crazy student and was doing something, so he put Zeng Jing in prison for trial to see if there were any troublemakers behind.

But I don't know if this is not tried, but after the first trial, Yongzheng was shocked into a cold sweat, that is, Zeng Jing confessed his teacher Lu Liuliang, this is good, Zeng Jing is just a small teacher, but Lu Liuliang's identity is different, that is the representative of Jiangnan Shilin, the leader of the literary world. Although he has been dead for decades, his disciples and grandchildren are still there.

Now the matter is bigger, Yongzheng immediately ordered to strictly investigate the books left at home by Lu Liuliang, Yan Hongkui, Shen Zaikuan and others, and then escorted these families back to the capital for interrogation, after which Yongzheng's defense of the Han people became stronger and stronger, and he planned to use the technique of attacking the heart to deal with Zeng Jing and others, so he refuted it one by one according to Zeng Jing's remarks, and actually reversed Zeng Jing like this!

Later, the result was also very bleak, Emperor Yongzheng compiled his questions and answers with Zeng Jing as "The Mystery of Great Righteousness", and sent a member to lead Zeng Jing to Jiangning, Hangzhou, Suzhou and other places to preach, and to refute and expose the remarks of Lu Liuliang and others.

This is not enough, Yongzheng wantonly raised a literary prison and burned all of Lu Liuliang's writings, and although Lu Liuliang and his sons Lu Baozhong and Lu Hongkui died, they were also ordered to be crushed and scattered, as for the other descendants of the Lu family, like Lu Yizhong and Lu Zaikuan and others were all killed, and all the clansmen were killed, and Huang Bu'an, Che Dingfeng, Che Dingben, Sun Yongke and Jingyu who were related to the Lu family were all killed, and it can be said that the entire Jiangnan Shilin was almost killed.

As for Zeng Jing's master and apprentice who caused this chaos, they were considered by Yongzheng to be pedantic people in the countryside, so they were not worried, and they were all released. Of course, the pair of masters and apprentices did not live long, and a few years later, after Qianlong succeeded to the throne, he executed these two people.

It can be said that in Ning Yu's heart, he has no good impression of this person, first of all, his ability to do things is extremely stupid, and secondly, his political position is not firm enough, which cannot be used with confidence.

But the problem is that the current Fu Han army is thirsty for talent, if this person is pushed now, to a certain extent, it will also be a self-defeating face, so how to deal with it, Ning Yu feels a little headache, he regrets a little that he went to this Tianxing Pavilion today, Tianxing was not found, this trouble is coming.

Zeng Jing's face flushed slightly, he saluted again, and said sincerely: "I have heard that the Fu Han army is thirsty for talent, only talent, students are not talented, even if they can't do anything big, they can do their best, I am willing to expel Yi Di and restore my Chinese clothes." ”

Ning Yu directly stepped forward to help Zeng Jing up, and said with a smile: "Mr. can join our army, which is also a blessing for our army, but the road ahead is bumpy, I hope Mr. will not blame." ”

The atmosphere became more and more warm for a while, and after returning to the city, Ning Yu directly appointed Zeng Jing as the chief bookkeeper to show his thirst for talent, and Zeng Jing was also grateful to Dade, and did not feel that the chief bookkeeper was small, but rather humble and humble, learning and asking for advice all the way.

Ning Yu doesn't care about him anymore, for him, as long as this Zeng Jing does things honestly and obediently, don't think about those whimsical things, it may not be impossible to reuse. As for the rest, it can be left for him to observe carefully.

For Ning Yu at this time, there are more important things to do. After the establishment of the Southern Metropolitan Governor, Ning Yu and Ning Zhongyi, as well as Zheng Guangguo, Dong Ce, Gao Hongyi and others, have been in charge of the Southern Expedition.

Among them, the original establishment was slightly changed, in which the old chief of staff of the Second Division, Gao Hongyi, was transferred to the First Independent Division as the division commander, and the new chief of staff was Deng Fang, who was born in the original Hanyang Battalion. After such a transfer, Ning Yu also hopes to promote capable talents as much as possible and train them out.

The establishment of the 1st Independent Division was also basically completed, and the officers at the regimental, battalion, and company levels in it were also transferred from the 1st and 2nd Divisions, so many of them were rewarded with official positions. As for the First Battle of Changsha, Ning Yu also rewarded meritorious soldiers, and more than 50,000 acres of land were rewarded.

However, these lands are not saveful, because the military salary of the Fu Han army at this time is not very high, mainly according to the official rank, the lowest soldier is only one or two silver taels per month, although it is said that food and clothing do not need to be spent, but compared with the green battalion, it is considered less.

Unless it is raised to the top again, when it reaches the platoon commander level, the monthly salary is three taels, and when it reaches the company commander level, it is five taels per month, and the battalion commander level is a watershed, and the monthly salary suddenly rises to 15 taels, and the regiment commander level is 40 taels, and the current salary of the division commander in the Fuhan Army is as high as 80 taels.

However, this is also because of the military salary field, if it is more than ten years of service or the war dead, ten acres of land will be given, which greatly stimulates the enthusiasm of some poor men, they are not afraid of death on the battlefield, and even many people are injured after taking the initiative to seek death, the reason is very simple, the Han army stipulates that if the wounded are discharged, only five acres of land will be given, and if the war is dead, ten acres of land will be given.

It is this gap of five acres that makes many men sacrifice for it, and Ning Yu also knows about it, but it is difficult to change, because this rule defends the rights of the dead, if the injured can also get ten acres of land, there will definitely be many people who take the initiative to be injured and stay away from the battlefield, which is not conducive to the foundation of the Han army.

It is not only the top of the Fu Han army that defends this rule, but all the officers and soldiers from top to bottom, the reason is also very simple, the big guy's heart is open, and he understands that if there is no Fu Han army, no Dadu Governor, no one will have this field, then it is necessary to win the battle, and it is also necessary to die, then this rule is the rule of defending the rights of all.

In the current Fu Han Army, the power of rules has begun to be transmitted from the students of the Eagle Battalion to others, which makes the atmosphere of the entire army very different, which is also the purpose of Ning Yu's request to disperse the Eagle Battalion, not only to cultivate tactical ability, but also to cultivate spiritual outlook.
