Chapter 16: Success

At night, the summer insects chirped, and He Jiehao was sitting at the desk to play a chapter to the court, when a soldier entered the camp tent and reported: "Lord Qincha, there is a pregnant woman outside the tent who went to the gate of the barracks to look for her husband. ”

"Who is his husband? Did you ask about this? ”

"This little one didn't ask," There was silence for a long time, as if the soldier was thinking something? Then he said suddenly: "The pregnant woman said that she was a bonus." ”

He Jiehao stood up in surprise and said, "That bonus? The soldier was stunned when he saw He Jiehao's surprised expression. He Jiehao walked down and stepped out of the account, stopped his footsteps, stood in place and said, "Bonus." Hua Hong looked at He Jiehao, who was standing outside the tent in front of her, and said with some excitement: "Husband." Hurriedly rushed forward and hugged each other in the dark night. After that, He Jiehao invited the bonus into the tent, saw that she had a big belly, and invited her to sit in front of the desk, He Jiehao stood next to him and said: "Madam, it is really hard for you to come all the way to Sichuan to find me." ”

"Husband, you said that you would come back and marry me after high school, I have been waiting at the window for you not to hear from you, sometimes I am really afraid that you will not recognize me, until we have our children, you are about to become a father," Hua Hong looked at He Jiehao next to him, and said with tears in his eyes.

He Jiehao stepped forward and squatted down on top of Hua Hong's belly, listened to the child's voice with his ears, and said softly: "Do you say he is a boy or a girl?" ”

"Husband, do you want to be a boy or a girl," Hua Hong lowered her head to look at He Jiehao who was lying on her stomach, and stretched out her hand to gently stroke her head.

"Of course it's a boy, the boy can continue the incense of our He family and pass it on to the next generation."

"Are boys that important? Girls don't matter," Hua Hong said pretending to be aggrieved.

"It's all important, it's all important," He Jiehao stood up and looked at Hua Hongdao.

"Hehe," Hua Hong laughed a few times shyly, stroked her belly and said, "I heard that the tip of the belly is a boy, and the round belly is a girl." ”

He Jiehao looked at Hua Hong's belly and said with certainty: "Boy, it must be a boy." ”

Outside the Bauhinia City, the red sun rises in the east on the continuous hills, and hundreds of civil and military officials enter the court one after another. Emperor Jiaqing stood in the middle of the civil and military officials, looked up at the plaque of "Zhengda Guangming" above his head, and then climbed the Jinluan Hall to sit on the dragon chair, looking down on the ministers. The civil and military officials under the court knelt down and said: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen," the ministers stood up, Guangxing, the imperial historian of the left capital, looked sideways at these imperial historians, and an official behind him stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers have a book." ”

"Tell me, what do you want to play?"

"The minister wants to impeach He Jiehao, who has no king's law, is bold and arrogant, and kills several officials of the imperial court in a row, and he has failed the emperor's grace and should be beheaded."

"The ministers are the same, advocating the killing of Qincha," and then many courtiers stood up and advocated killing He Jiehao.

One of the old imperial historians stood up and said: "Your Majesty, such a traitor, causing trouble to the country, such disloyalty and not killing is not enough to revitalize the dynasty." Your Majesty! What is the prestige of this man who does not remove kings? ”

Zuodu Yushi stood in the front row, looking up at the emperor and was silent. Emperor Jiaqing faced the imperial history of Zuodu and said: "Guang Aiqing, these officials and imperial historians all advocate killing Qincha, what advice do you have for this?" ”

"The ministers don't dare to speak up, but they still adopt more ministers, so that their decisions cannot be deviated, and their loyalty and treachery are self-evident."

"Well, Guang Aiqing, this is reasonable," Emperor Jiaqing nodded with satisfaction, and said to Wang Jie, the Minister of Military Aircraft and a scholar of Dongge University, "Wang Aiqing, do you have any objections to this?" ”

"Your Majesty, don't listen to the words of others and kill Zhongliang in vain, everything needs to wait for the truth to be ascertained before making a decision, the minister hereby implores the emperor to think twice," Zhongtang Wang Jie said.

"I have a memoir, which was sent by He Aiqing 800 miles in an urgent manner, and the proclamation said that the generals and their local prefects on the front line embezzled military salaries, oppressed the people and displaced the people, which is one of them; second, the armament was slack, and the barracks smoked a lot of smoke; Thirdly, for the war to deliberately prolong the war period in order to profit from it, you can see here that there is also a list of corrupt officials and the number of corrupt officials and the amount of corruption," Emperor Jiaqing handed the medallion in his hand to the ministers to circulate.

Zuodu Yushi Guangxing stood up and said: "Killing corrupt officials and rectifying military discipline, such a vigorous and resolute act is quite Confucian generals, thanks to the emperor's wisdom and wisdom, and his discernment and understanding of people!" ”

"The style of Confucian generals, Guangyushi said it well, scholars lead troops, so when will Guangyushi lead troops to the battlefield?"

"Wang Zhongtang don't ridicule the lower officials here, how can the lower officials have this ability?"

"Okay, you don't have to argue here," Emperor Jiaqing interrupted their dispute and said with joy, still joyful: "Feng Qin sent He Jiehao as a guerrilla general to fight together. ”

After the next dynasty, the left capital Yu Shi Guangxing sat on the sedan chair, walked through the street, lifted the sedan curtain and poked his head out, saw that the refugees gathered outside the porridge tent, lined up in a long queue and slowly walked into the porridge tent, and also saw Wang Jie who was inspecting the porridge tent on the side, and then put down the sedan curtain and ordered the people to make a quick detour. Stopped in front of the gate of Guangfu, pressed the sedan chair, Zuodu Yushi Guangxing walked out of the sedan chair, looked back, entered the door of the mansion, and the next person stepped forward to take off the court clothes for him and his crown from the first product sat on the top of the lobby, was about to drink tea, at this time a subordinate came forward and said: "Master, Lord Li of the military department asks to see." ”

"Well, tell him in."

"Yes," the subordinates retreated, and Li Shangrong, the secretary of the military department, entered the lobby and said: "The vast number of people, why don't you impeach with us and ask the emperor to kill He Jiehao, He Jiehao killed several local officials as soon as he took office, these are our henchmen, so arrogant and not doing anything with us?" ”

"Master Li, please be calm and don't be impatient, please take a seat," Li Shangrong sat down at this time, and the maid served tea. Master Li looked at the teacup next to him, still angry in his heart, and a kind of anxiety, he was not in the mood to drink tea at all. The majority of people picked up the teacup to their lips, and while drinking the tea in the cup, they looked at Lord Li, who was sitting next to him anxiously, put down the teacup in his hand, and said: "He Jiehao killed two court officials in a row and cut off the wealth of you and me, how can this government hate this." You saw it today, He Jiehao's talent is deeply valued by the emperor, the emperor is on top of the nature at this time to ask to kill Qincha, don't you cut off your future because of this performance, follow the emperor's mind to our glory and wealth is not inexhaustible, inexhaustible? The old Shaanxi Wang Jie in the middle of the court has already given us a headache, so why bother to set up some more long-cherished enemies for yourself? ”

"But Lord Yu, Yu Yingbin and Lord Liang Yongliang were recommended by you to the emperor."

"Sometimes it is inevitable to make a move to lose the pawn and protect the car, Yu Yingbin, the prefect of Nanchong, and Liang Yong, the prefect of the county, they can do whatever they want by relying on a protective umbrella behind them. Let's look at the after-effects, if he wins a big victory this time, it will prove that this He Jiehao is indeed talented, and we will try to pull him over for our use; If he loses his troops and returns from defeat this time, we will take this opportunity to impeach, the previous crime of mistakenly killing the feudal officials sent by the imperial court, and the trivial court is a great disrespectful crime, and the latter is defeated, and the two crimes can be eliminated from the future trouble. ”

Li Shangrong said with some doubts: "The majority of people, the lower officials still don't understand, why do you want to win over He Jiehao?" ”

"Do you think it's as simple as local officials embezzling military salaries, but what if there is a list of officials who take bribes? However, in the recital of Lord Ho, only local officials embezzled military salaries and did not mention anything about bribery officials, haven't you ever wondered why? I think he is because of this, there are many officials who have taken bribes, and there are even many Beijing officials in the court, if this is thoroughly investigated, it will shake the political situation of the imperial court. Corruption is a criticism left by Lord Qianlong, and it cannot be eradicated overnight, and this is not something that the emperor can see, this is one of them; The second is to leave a way out for himself, and he also knows his own strength, and he will not be our long-cherished enemy, so he will protect himself with this wisdom; The third is to leave a back hand for yourself, and seize our handle in order to threaten, so this government wants to win over this person, if it is pulled by Shaanxi Lao, then we will have one more strong enemy. ”

"Oh, the lower officials understand, if you can pull it, you can pull it, and if you can't pull it, you can get rid of it."

"You said this, but the government didn't say this," Zuodu Yushi Guangxing picked up the teacup next to him and said with a dark smile: "Come, come, let's drink tea." ”

Li Shangrong, the secretary of the military department, calmed down, picked up the teacup and said with a smile: "Taste tea." ”

He Jiehao led the village soldiers to the front line to fight with the regular army of the imperial court, at this time the regular army was in a fierce battle with the peasant army of the White Lotus Sect, hundreds of cannons were mounted in the vast wilderness, facing the army camp led by the White Lotus Sect was bombarded indiscriminately, the artillery fire was soaring, and the wolf smoke was billowing out. The leader of the White Lotus Sect rode a war horse and led the peasant army to rush and kill in the artillery fire, and the bombed people turned on their backs, and the cavalry of the Qing army rushed to kill each other, the artillery fire bloomed everywhere, rushed into the melee, and the two armies fought each other until the sun set and the army could stop the truce.

The Qing army commander returned to the camp to count the number of dead and wounded soldiers, and the township soldiers led by He Jiehao at this time arrived at the gate of the barracks. After the young general entered the barracks to report, the chief general of the Qing army walked out to greet him and said: "General He is coming, because the war is tight, please forgive this general for not welcoming him." ”

"How dare you? How dare you? Sheng Zhu is the pillar of the Qing Dynasty, how dare you bother? ”

"General He, please enter the tent and speak."

"Okay, General Sheng Zhu, please."

General Sheng Zhu invited He Jiehao into the camp, and at this time, General Sheng Zhu sat on the top of the handsome seat and thought hard for a long time: "The thief army is more and more, causing the army to suffer many setbacks and heavy losses, I don't know what General He has to do about it?" ”

"As the saying goes, the snake hits seven inches, the thief captures the king first, first find out where the thief's lair is, and then pull it out, the thief has no support from the rear, so that it will be defeated in a battle," He Jiehao stood up and debuted.

"Okay, how to capture the thief and capture the king first, and ask General He to elaborate," and then asked the young general to take a map and point out the location of the White Lotus Sect's lair.

"The last general led this village army to form a rapid marching army, running around the clock and attacking its lair. The general should not rush to send troops, because the morale of the enemy army is high, and our army will build a high base to avoid fighting without fighting, and the enemy will think that our army is cowardly and frivolous, and the morale will be depressed over time, and after the success of the sneak attack of the general, the enemy will suddenly attack the enemy army, so that the enemy army will be unable to defend itself and collapse without a fight, and the general can take advantage of this victorious division to pursue and annihilate the enemy army in one fell swoop. ”

"Okay, this plan is feasible, I don't know when the general will leave."

"The soldiers are fast, set off immediately."

"Okay, General Ben is here waiting for your good news."
