Chapter 401: Vigilance
Yes..."
The generals replied again.
"General Zhennan, what's next—" a voice asked.
"I think I'll follow the method of the fifth elder brother first, and let some people go out to see the situation first. As long as there is not much turmoil in the city, some more people can be let out. After all, our food is limited. "Niu Hulu. Fu Sen ordered.
"Governor You, I'll send someone for you to go to the slums in the east of the city to catch some people out! Anyway, every time the thieves attack the city, they are the ones who love to make trouble. ”
"Yes..."You Shouren didn't dare to shirk anything, so he could only reply.
Niu Hulu. What Fu Sen said is indeed true.
You Shouren had already heard that in the cities that were captured by the thieves in front of them, every time the thieves attacked the city, the people in the slums in the city would take the lead in the turmoil and assist the thieves in attacking the city.
Maybe it's a good thing to let the restless people out of the city now.
"Alright, this matter is settled..." Fu Sen waved his hand and gave the order.
"If there is any adult who would like to take the initiative to go with the prefect, please stand up."
There is definitely no oil or water to be fished out of going to the slums to arrest people, so all the generals present are all you look at me, I look at you, and they are silent to each other.
Niu Hulu. Seeing this, Fu Sen didn't know what was going on, so he could only shake his head helplessly in his heart, and then looked at Zhu Yu, the chief soldier of Xuzhou, and said: "Lord Zhu, Xuzhou is under your jurisdiction, why don't you send troops there?" ”
"Yes..."See Niu Hulu. Fu Sen spoke, and even if Zhu Yu was unwilling, he could only stand up and respond.
Don't look at Niu Hulu. Fu Sen said that he had to be light, but Zhu Yu understood very well that the next work would definitely not be easy to do, after all, those people in the slums had always been difficult to rush.
Even in peacetime, if the imperial court does not mobilize heavy troops to make something angry, it will be difficult to drive them away. At this time, the anti-thieves were surrounding the city, but Zhu Yu really didn't want to do this, so as not to let the anti-thieves remember.
"No, when you go back, you have to tell those guys below to take it easy, don't go too far, and push the responsibility on the Manchurians as much as possible, in fact, they also gave such an order." Zhu Yu thought secretly in his heart.
"Okay, let's talk about other things..."
……
Niu Hulu. Fu Sen's troubles, Qianlong naturally didn't know, he was also in a headache at the moment.
Although the anti-thief gave a good solution, it did not lose the face of the court. But people in the world are not all fools, and after a long time, they can naturally see the greasyness.
In Qianlong's mind, he loves Xinjueluo. Hongli wants to become an emperor like the "Holy Ancestor" Kangxi.
Whether it is to capture Aobai, level the three feudatories, conquer Taiwan, or defeat Geerdan, it must be a "real" meritorious record.
He loves Sinjueluo. The reason why Hongli was able to become the emperor was more because of the care of the "Holy Ancestor" Kangxi. If it weren't for the fact that when he was thirteen years old, the "Holy Lord" Kangxi Ye recognized him at a glance as the future emperor, maybe his father would not be able to be the emperor.
And now, he wants to divide the Qing Dynasty to compromise with the thieves. Every time I think of the importance that Kangxi Ye attaches to himself, this really makes Qianlong's heart unhappy.
I think that what Emperor Yongzheng left him at the beginning was a great river and a full treasury. But now, how did it become like this?
Qianlong was very troubled...
So, Niu Hulu. After Fu Sen's recital was handed over, Qianlong was hesitating, he put it away in an irritable mood, and didn't even go to the harem for a few nights.
It wasn't until the urgent military document from Gansu came again that Qianlong, who was full of anger, had to slap down the desk and ordered several high-ranking ministers in the court to come to discuss Niu Hulu. Fu Sen's question of the twist and turn.
……
"What do you think of the recital handed over by Fu Sen?" In the put button Hulu. After Fu Sen handed over the recital to several important ministers below for a look, Qianlong asked.
"Back to the emperor, the slave thought that Master Fu's method was very good. Now that the imperial court is constantly fighting, it is really fortunate for our army to be able to temporarily maintain peace and stability with the anti-thieves in the southeast. "At this moment, Shu Mulu, who is the secretary of the military department. Schühld was the first to reply.
"The minister seconded the words of Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of War." Hubu Shangshu Niu Hulu. Arigon echoed.
"Nowadays, the expenses of the imperial court are too large, and the taxes of the imperial court are not guaranteed due to the wars in various places, and if the imperial court can stop the war in the southeast, the imperial court can save a lot of expenses."
"Laibao, what do you think?" After hearing the meaning of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households, Qianlong turned to the crown prince and the prince of Wuyingdian, who was also the minister of military aircraft, and asked about it.
"I think that what Master Fu Sen said can indeed be considered. Now the imperial court is not a rebel in the southeast, but if it is only to calm them and ignore the turmoil in other places, it will be really unfavorable to the imperial court. Therefore, it will be much easier to maintain the status quo with them for the time being, and after the imperial court has pacified other places, it will be much easier to use the strength of the country to pacify the rebels in the southeast. At this time, the eighty-two old man Hitara Laibao thought for a while before saying slowly.
"After all, the territory of my Great Qing Kingdom is really large, and it has formed a situation of encirclement against the anti-thieves, so the future war situation is really favorable to my Great Qing Dynasty."
"Hmm... Go on. Xitara Laibao's words seemed to move Qianlong, so he couldn't help but nod and say.
"Others say that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and this is also true for the imperial court. Nowadays, the biggest problem of our court is that there are too many wars, and there are too many fronts, which will cause the imperial court to over-deplete its troops, which is very unfavorable. Only by stabilizing other places and then using the food and salary of these places to raise heavy troops to encircle and suppress the anti-thieves will surely achieve twice the result with half the effort. Xitara Laibao, who was recognized by Qianlong, continued.
"I don't know if His Majesty the Emperor still remembers the things of the former Ming?"
"What do you mean?" Qianlong asked suspiciously.
"During the Chongzhen period, the reason why the former Ming Dynasty was defeated was not only natural disasters, but more importantly, it was a multi-front war. If they had really signed a peace agreement with Emperor Taizong at the beginning, and let them free up their hands to pacify the internal rebels, maybe my Qing Dynasty would still be outside the Guan. Hitara Laibao said slowly as he observed his words.
"However, it was the multi-front battle that constantly consumed the strength of the Ming Dynasty that made such a behemoth as the Ming Dynasty court fall and let me live in it. As the old saying goes: Take copper as a reference, you can be dressed properly; Taking people as a reference, you can know the gains and losses; Taking history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall. Therefore, we have to be vigilant about the affairs of the Ming court. ”
