On the way from Beijing to Rehe, Concubine Yi, who had been reprimanded for persuading the emperor not to leave Beijing, had been depressed, and the queen was not in a good mood.

Concubine Yi half leaned on the "beauty", looked at the dilapidated garden, and asked faintly: "Why are you in a hurry to go to Miyun if you stay here?" ”

"Yu Niangniang, Yu'er is not at ease, Yu'er wants to go to Miyun to take a look."

"Don't worry about what?"

Without waiting for Ren Yu'er to speak, the queen raised her head and said, "Except for that Han Si, who else can she worry about." ”

Ren Yu'er was afraid that the two of them would misunderstand, so she hurriedly said: "Niangniang, my brother-in-law is different from other officials, not only does he not bring his family with him, but he doesn't even have a maid, no one washes his clothes when they are dirty, no one sews his clothes when they are torn, and sometimes he is so busy that he can't even take care of eating." Now that he is being ordered to guard Miyun, he must be busier than before. ”

Wandering all the way to such a dilapidated palace, Concubine Yi was really lonely, she was really reluctant to let her go, and couldn't help muttering: "You are a lady of the official family, a lady in Jiangnan, and not his maid Han Si!" ”

"Niangniang, my brother-in-law is guarding the gate of the palace for the emperor, not only is there no one around to take care of him, but there are not even many soldiers under him, Yu'er is really not at ease. What's more, if there is no righteous brother, there will be no Yu'er today, Yu'er ......"

Through this hunting tour in Beijing, the queen's impression of Han Si has changed greatly.

After all, everyone knew that the errand of the queen of the palace was the most dangerous, and Han Si actually took the initiative to ask Ying to be the queen of the holy driving hall. Now that the holy driver has arrived safely at the Rehe Palace, it is the time to reward meritorious deeds, as long as the civil and military officials who accompany the driver and come to escort the driver in time will be rewarded, Han Si took the initiative to ask Ying to be stationed at Miyun, the gateway of Gubeikou.

Thinking of Ren Yu'er's chaotic relationship with Han Si's constant arrangement, the queen said in a low voice: "If you want to go to reunite with your fourth brother, you can go, but you can't leave today, and you have to leave tomorrow at the earliest." ”

"Xie Niangniang!"

"There are soldiers outside, you have to be careful along the way, and when you get to Miyun, remember to send someone to bring a letter to the palace."

Seeing that the queen was so reasonable, Ren Yu'er was grateful, and was about to kneel down to thank her, when Concubine Yi suddenly asked: "Yu'er, from here to Miyun for hundreds of miles, especially on the way outside the mouth, I can't see a few families, you just take Lian'er like this, I am as worried as the queen's mother." ”

"Yu Niangniang, Yu'er won't just leave, Yu'er plans to ask Master Ronglu and Master Yongxiang later, see if they can help Yu'er find a car, and send a few family members to send Yu'er to Miyun."

"I almost forgot, although your fourth brother is not here, there are your fourth brother's subordinates here."

"Niangniang doesn't know, Master Ronglu and Master Yongxiang are no longer my fourth brother's subordinates."

"What do you mean by that?"

"I heard people outside say that on the way from the capital to the palace, the emperor first rewarded Lord Ronglu with five products in the Jingtang, and yesterday afternoon ordered Lord Ronglu to charge the wing of the firearms battalion. Master Yongxiang was also promoted from the former head of Nanyuan to the head of the guards and guards under his jurisdiction and the escort of the guards and subordinates. ”

"Wing Commander of the Firearms Battalion, this is the official position of Zheng Sanpin, and he was promoted quite quickly."

"That's why Master Ronglu is young and promising."

"Your fourth brother is not very old," Concubine Yi paused, and then changed her words: "Since they are both officials who are in charge of the palace guard, then help the palace pass a word, just say that the palace wants to meet them." ”

Without waiting for Ren Yu'er to speak, the queen couldn't help but say, "Sister Lan'er, this is not appropriate." ”

"Sister, this is a palace, not an imperial city, so there are not so many rules." Concubine Yi Guifei looked back at Ren Yu'er, and then said: "This girl is not here with us, she has to go to her fourth brother, and we can't stop her, but if you go hundreds of miles, if you don't explain it clearly to Rong Lu and that Yongxiang, can you rest assured, sister?" ”

"That's right, in that case, let's see."

……

Han Xiufeng didn't know that Ren Yu'er was coming to Miyun, but he only knew that the emperor had just issued a decree to order him to be the minister of the Qin mission to supervise the defense of Huairou, Miyun and other places. The more than 500 Shanxi soldiers and more than 300 Eight Banners Horse Team from Xi'an, who were sent to Tongzhou and ordered to gallop to Rehe on the way, as well as the Zhili officers and soldiers who have dispersed to Miyun these days, are all under the control of him, the secretary of the Shangxi Yuanqing with the rank of squire of the military department!

In other words, from the capital to the Rehe Palace, it was divided into four defense areas.

The Manchurian Eight Banners and the Mongolian horse team in the area of the capital were returned to the monk Greenqin for moderation, and the nearly 10,000 defeated soldiers gathered these days were returned to victory and moderation; The officers and troops in the Huairou and Miyun areas were under the command of him, the secretary of the Shangxi Yuan, who had the name of the minister but did not have the customs of the Qincha; Later, Jilin, Heilongjiang and Mongolia, which were stationed at Gubeikou, were returned to Rehe to be controlled by Chunyou;

Rong Lu and Yongxiang were promoted to the wing commanders of the firearms battalion, and the other was promoted to the assistant leader of the guard, and the Nanyuan vest led by them was incorporated into the firearms battalion, and the gate army was incorporated into the escort camp, which was controlled by several ministers of the guards, and was no longer his subordinate Han Xiufeng, and in the future, he would be responsible for the defense of the palace under the leadership of Su Shun and several other ministers of the guards.

Layers of defense seem to be foolproof, but everyone knows that the more than 400 soldiers in the river camp can really compete with the foreigners. Because of this, the emperor ordered Wang Hedong, the capital of the river camp, to be the deputy general of Xuanhua Town, Xu Jiu, Zhang Xiaobao and others.

After reading the edict sent by the court of the Military Aircraft Department, Wu Tingdong, the direct subordinate envoy who had just arrived in Miyun, hurriedly bowed down and said: "Your Excellency, congratulations on your promotion to the minister!" ”

"Brother Yanfu smiled, he didn't even have a Qincha Guard, what kind of minister is this."

"The state affairs are difficult, and the lower officials think that the emperor doesn't want to give the lord the Qincha Customs, but that the palace wants nothing at all, even if he wants to cast the Qincha Customs, he can't cast it."

Han Xiufeng looked at his respectful appearance, and couldn't help but think of the scene of being on an errand under him, secretly thinking that it was really three years of Hexi and three years of Hedong, and while beckoning him to sit, he said helplessly: "Brother Yanfu misunderstood, Xiufeng was deeply gracious, how could he be angry because he didn't take precautions, but so many officers and soldiers poured into Miyun, how could Xiufeng give them orders if he didn't have a guard?" ”

Wu Tingdong reacted: "What my lord said is extremely true, as the saying goes, 'the people rely on the clerk and the official seal', how to give orders to the commanders of the army without customs and defense, this official document cannot be issued." ”

"So Xiufeng plans to stamp all official documents with the official seal of the secretary of the court and the seal of Brother Yanfu, I don't know what Brother Yanfu wants?"

"The lower official is just an envoy, how dare he use the seal with the adult!"

"It's all about it. What's more, Brother Yanfu, you are an official who is ordered to handle the grain platform, if you don't use the seal together with Xiufeng, where is the majesty of the grain station? ”

Wu Tingdong didn't expect that Han Xiufeng not only didn't care about his previous suspicions, but also didn't even treat him as a subordinate, and actually proposed to use a seal on all official documents. ”

"That's right, Duke Yu, let's do this all to do a good job of the emperor's explanation. For selfishness, we are not outsiders. Brother Yanfu, if you don't believe it, go around the city wall later, Wang Hedong and other brothers from the river camp, don't mention how happy you are to hear that the emperor ordered you to handle the grain table. ”

"And they remember me?"

"This can still be fake!" Han Xiufeng's face was straight, and he stared at him very seriously and sincerely: "People can't forget their roots, Brother Yanfu, you were not only my Han Xiufeng's boss, but also their boss, how could they forget you, and how dare they be disrespectful to you!" ”

"My lord said this, which made Ting Dong really a little ashamed."

"What is there to be ashamed of, Brother Yanfu, let's talk about business first, and then we will give you the wind after speaking."

"Yes, yes, let's get down to business first, if you have any orders, just show me."

"Here you go again, Brother Yanfu, are you treating Xiufeng as an outsider?"

"Adult ......"

"Don't be an adult, call me Zhixing the same as before." Han Xiufeng emphasized and got back to business: "Brother Yanfu, I think so, foreigners are not long-haired, and Miyun's defense is not as good as possible, I plan to let Wang Hedong and others go to see how many soldiers and horses have come in the next few days, and send those who are useless, especially those who have fled to Miyun, to Shengbao to listen to them." ”

"What if they don't want to go?"

"This is easy to do, as long as you make it clear to them, we don't have so much food, what to eat and drink in Miyun, they have to figure out their own way. If anyone dares to burn, kill, loot and harm the place, then don't blame us for treating them as bandits! ”

Thinking that the more people there are, the more difficult it will be to make this grain platform, Wu Tingdong couldn't help asking: "Will the emperor be gracious?" ”

"The soldiers are fine but not many, and the emperor will ask for an edict."

"My lord, this is also understanding Tingdong's difficulties, as long as the emperor allows it, how can Tingdong object."

"Then it's settled." Han Xiufeng smiled, and continued: "Then the Heavenly King Qianli sent someone to bring a letter, he happened to be on an errand when the foreigners invaded Nanyuan, he and Temulun and several other directors of Nanyuan, Yuan Cheng, were fine. I plan to ask the emperor to transfer him to Miyun to help with the grain station, I don't know what Brother Yanfu wants? ”

"Wang Qianli is diligent in his work, and he can be civil and martial, if he can come to help with the grain table, the officials can't ask for it!"
