In the early morning, the sun is gentle and gentle. The glazed tiles sprinkled with gold lacquer are red and bright, which looks exceptionally calm and natural.

It's September, and the weather in Peking has slowly turned cold.

Although there is a sunrise, it is still cold. Morning temperatures were generally cooler, and even worse today.

Some pedestrians who went out were sickened by the sudden cold. The cold breath makes it clear to those walking on the street that the hot air exhaled from their mouth and nose has turned into a form of mist.

At this moment, many people on the street who were dressed relatively thin when they went out couldn't help but rub their arms on both sides with their palms, and then pulled their clothes tightly and wrapped themselves in a hurry.

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

In the courtyard of the deep palace, the cold wind is urgent, and there is often a howling wind. The eunuchs walking in the palace roads were shivered by the sudden cold snap.

"Whew..."

There was another short howling of the wind.

The wind is not strong, but it makes people disgusted and abnormal.

"Smack..."

Outside the Qianqing Gate Palace, a crisp sound of porcelain breaking came.

At this moment, Qianlong, who was preparing to discuss with the ministers in the palace, couldn't help frowning, and asked very unhappily in his heart: "Who lost his honor outside the palace?" ”

"Minion, let's take a look." Wang Yong, the eunuch serving beside Qianlong, immediately bowed and saluted.

Qianlong raised the corners of his eyes, nodded slightly, and without saying anything more, the eunuch Wang Yong retreated with interest.

The ministers below did not say anything when they saw this gratuitous thing. The court is now at war non-stop, and there are a bunch of trivial matters, and these trivial facts can't arouse their gossip thoughts.

If it was according to the usual parliament of the early dynasty, Qianlong usually only summoned the ministers to discuss the right thing in the Xinuan Pavilion of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

But now, the war in the southeast is non-stop. The heavy troops sent by the imperial court still failed to exterminate the anti-thieves in the south, and the anti-thieves became more and more courageous, not only occupying the land of Huguang, but also entering the land south of the Yangtze River.

The lands south of the Yangtze River are important "money and grain bags" that are the source of taxes for the imperial court, and they must not be lost. If the imperial court cannot quell this turmoil as soon as possible, and the turmoil in other places resumes, then the foundation of the Qing Empire will be shaken.

If it was just a one-sided battle, it would not have to be so difficult for the Qing Empire. However, the northwestern Jungar has not been completely pacified, and the Khalkha Mongols have retreated again.

The empire was eventful, and the crisis faced by the imperial court was no less than the "Rebellion of the Three Feudatories" faced by Kangxi, the holy ancestor of the Qing Dynasty, and it can even be said that it was even more than that. Therefore, Qianlong also emulated his holy ancestor Kangxi, who he worshipped, and held a "royal gate to listen to politics" in Qianqingmen. Pray for the blessing of the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Empire can calm the world and create a legendary story.

"Where is Shu Hede, the secretary of the military department?" Qianlong glanced at the table and asked categorically.

"Initiation Saint, the minions are here." I saw Schuhd striding out of the standing column, kneeling on the ground and replying.

"Let's get flat!" Qianlong raised his hand and said.

"Slave thank you, Your Majesty." With that, Shu Hed slowly got up from the ground.

"Didn't the imperial court order that Zheng Yuanzhen, the governor of Guangxi, lead the troops from Guangxi to attack Guangdong early in the morning? Why hasn't I heard any movement for so long, but there is news from Guangxi? Qianlong asked angrily.

"Return to the Emperor. Affected by the war in the south, the post road between the capital and Guangxi was not smooth, and the military situation in Guangxi had to be transmitted by detour, and the slave only received an urgent note from Guangxi this morning. Time was in a hurry, and the music had not yet arrived in a hurry to deliver to the palace. Therefore, the slave had the courage to directly bring the recital from Guangxi with him, and was preparing to start the matter. Shuhd bowed and said.

Immediately, Schühled took out a piece of music from his sleeve and handed it in.

Qianlong took the piece handed over in his hand and put it directly on the desk, and he didn't have the intention of opening it to take a look.

"What does it say up there?" Qianlong asked.

"Back to the Holy One. Zheng Yuanzhen, the governor of Guangxi, said in his recital: He had already prepared food and salary in July, and also instigated the local Tusi in Guangxi to jointly send troops into Guangdong. But..."Shu Hede paused a little at this point, and then looked at Qianlong's face.

"But what, don't give me a mouthful, keep talking." Qianlong said sharply.

"Hey, the minion obeys." Schuhd continued.

However, when Zheng Yuanzhen was preparing to march into Guangdong, the lord of Annam, Ruan Quang Binh (1), may have heard the imperial court fighting in the south, and had been restless lately, constantly stirring up trouble on the border of Guangxi. Although Annan still has some concerns at this time, there have been constant incidents of swords and soldiers on the border. ”

"The small country of Annan also dares to bully me. Is there still me in the eyes of the Great Qing Kingdom..."Qianlong slapped the table in front of him angrily and shouted.

"The emperor is angry, and the ministers (minions) are guilty..."

………

"Shuhed, you go on." Qianlong continued.

"Hey, the minion obeys."

Zheng Yuanzhen originally thought that he would take the orders of the imperial court as the main thing, and then return to Guangxi after the troops entered Guangdong, so he would be more tolerant of Annanguo. But I don't want Annan's side to be unforgiving, and now the two sides are already tense. ”

"After knowing this, many of the Tusi who had been instigated by Zheng Yuanzhen withdrew their soldiers and horses one after another in order to preserve their strength. Now Zheng Yuanzhen can only mobilize only 2,000 green battalion soldiers and hundreds of Tusi soldiers in his own hands, while the thieves have amassed tens of thousands of troops in Yulin Mansion. It would be unwise to attack rashly. ”

"Then what does Zheng Yuanzhen mean by writing this time?" Qianlong asked with a very bad face.

"Returning to the saint, Zheng Yuanzhen means that it is not beneficial for Guangxi to fight with any side, it is better to maintain the status quo, and Guangxi can also provide money, grain and taxes for the imperial court." Schuhd took a breath and replied.

"Okay, let's keep the status quo. What do you think? Qianlong asked angrily.

There was an instant discussion below, but no one came forward to make suggestions.

"Fu Sen, what do you think about this?" Qianlong glanced at the people talking below and said.

"Back to the emperor, the slave thought. The small country of Annam just thinks that our Great Qing Kingdom is in war at this time, and wants to profit from it. The imperial court can condemn the envoy to question Annanguo, and with my great Qing Tianwei, it is expected that it will not dare not put away its little thoughts. Fu Sen walked out of his standing position and said after saluting.

"As for the Guangxi side, the plan to enter Guangdong remains unchanged. If the Tusi in Guangxi were unwilling to send troops to help, the imperial court could ask Zheng Yuanzhen, the governor of Guangxi, to draw from the local people to form a township army. Only by disturbing Guangdong and making it difficult for the anti-thieves to take care of them can we disturb the morale of the anti-thieves army. For the pacification of anti-thieves

"Okay, what do you think of the military department?" Qianlong looked at Shu Hede and asked.
