After the Xianfeng Northern Hunt, the main departments of the imperial court left some of them in Beijing to watch the house, and the main cadres also followed Chengde. The Ministry of Household Affairs was unable to move the treasury over, but the main offices still moved over and chose a house in Chengde City to resettle. The place where the money is in charge of official affairs is busy, and people come and go every day, and today it has become particularly lively, and the whole street is lively.

When it was almost time to go home, the officials of the various divisions had already sorted out their belongings and were ready to go out and have a good time, but the street outside suddenly opened a pot. The rumbling sound of horses' hooves shook the roof tiles, and the otherwise quiet streets were full of people, as if they had seen the emperor go out on patrol.

After the light cavalry regiment was crippled, it had been resting and replenishing, and the pure cavalry that Goxinga could now handle was only the heavy cavalry battalion. For this absolute lineage led by Mu Shun, Guo Xing'a is also very willing to give up, the military uniforms and weapons are luxurious to the point of redundancy, and the horses are also replaced by purebred Arabian horses with a water. Mu Shunzhi's army was also extremely strict, and the soldiers were trained extremely well, and the momentum of the six hundred cavalry was even more terrifying than that of thousands of troops.

"Come and see, the Son of Heaven Forbidden Army!"

As soon as Guoxinga led the troops into the city, he became the object of onlookers, Chengde did not fight, and the common people were not afraid of being soldiers at all, but saw that they were fresh, and they all called friends to chase after them. After all, in the eyes of the people, the military uniforms of the Gu'an Army are fancy dresses, muskets are even rarer, and war horses taller than people are even rarer.

"Well, well, well, this is what the Son of Heaven Forbidden Army looks like! What the hell is going on in the Yamen? ”

People have to die more than people, goods have to be thrown away, and the common people don't understand military affairs, but they can also see that Guoxing's department is much stronger than the gang of things under Chunyou. The people of Guoxing'a are all elite soldiers from the battlefield, and they are mighty and majestic in their momentum, and the soldiers of the Yamen of Chunyou Rehe are a little stronger than the bandits, and how can they compare with Guoxing'a compared to the army. Moreover, it is a bit embarrassing to take the infantry patrolling the streets under Chunyou to compare the most luxuriously equipped heavy cavalry under Guoxing's command.

"What kind of horse is this riding? Is this a unicorn? That's too big! ”

The most attractive thing about the heavy cavalry battalion is the war horses, these purebred Arab war horses, although they are not good for long distances, but they look really good. Not to mention the fat and strong, it is also a head taller than the Mongolian horse, and anyone who sees it for the first time will be surprised. And after being high, there is also a psychological advantage. The people only need to look up slightly when they see the ordinary cavalry, but they have to look up hard to see the Gu'an army, so they naturally have the feeling of looking up.

"Look at this official clothes, it's so good-looking, what kind of material is this, it's too upright!"

There are a lot of tweed fabrics in the materials of the coalition army captured by Goxinga, and it is not enough to make the whole army, but the officers and the troops that Goxinga especially loves still have a full set of hard tweed coats to wear. The so-called particularly beloved troops are, of course, guard platoons, reconnaissance battalions, heavy cavalry battalions, and so on. The tweed coat of the heavy cavalry battalion is covered with tight-fitting cotton armor, which must look much better than the ordinary Qing army with wide robes and big sleeves.

"Yuchun, the commander of the Yamen Thousand Commanders of the Humble Rehe Capital, asks the Lord for peace, and dares to ask why the Lord brought troops into the city!"

The soldiers at the gate of the city watched the large group of men and horses driving over, but they didn't dare to intercept them at all, so they could only run into the city to deliver the message. Chunyou and a few principals had already gone home for dinner, and there was only one Qianzong on duty. It's not that the enemy is naturally not good at calling the police, and the unlucky Wang Yuchun can only come forward to intercept it. The emperor is in the summer resort, and the soldiers who enter the city may not dare to make trouble, but a large group of people enter the city, no matter what the reason for the Yamen of Rehe has to ask.

"The first-class Jingqi Nihafan, the Imperial Gift, the Loyal Baturu, the rank of Squire of the Military Department, and the Lord Guoxinga of Manchuria with the blue flag, entered the city on business."

Mu Shun, who opened the way first, sat on the tall horse, didn't even look at Wang Yuchun, and reported the official position of Guoxing'a like chanting the Buddha's name, and then waited for Wang Yuchun and the others to retreat.

"My lord, the Dutong Yamen has not received the notice of your troops entering the city, and the lowly post has not received an order to welcome the army." Wang Yuchun is also a hard bone, and he is also very good anyway, and his position of Qianzong was all fought back by him.

"Our department is only for adult guards, and we don't stay in the city, so we don't need to receive them!" Mu Shun liked Wang Yuchun's set very much, not only did he not get angry because of his confrontation, but he admired him a little.

"There is a rule for officials to protect the imperial court, please leave the city, or bring a military order!" Wang Yuchun also fought hard and decided to stick to the principle. He had been on the battlefield, and at a glance, he could see that these cavalry were all mixed up in the pile of dead people, and they were definitely not easy to deal with.

But what happened next, Wang Yuchun didn't expect it, although Mu Shun nodded to him approvingly, he didn't pay attention to him anymore, and stepped on the horse directly. The cavalry of the brigade behind did not hesitate at all, and all drove their horses forward. Although Mu Shun and the others did not let go of the horse impact, this Yanma was too big, and the people led by Wang Yuchun did not form a formation, so they couldn't stop it at all. The horse's hooves with a big bowl mouth stepped on it directly, and whoever is tired of it will not hide. In the exclamation of the people, Wang Yuchun and his officers and soldiers fled to the side of the road in embarrassment, and the cavalry of the brigade seemed to have no idea of their existence, and walked over leisurely.

"Bag!"

"The Forbidden Army of the Son of Heaven is different, these cowards are not worthy of carrying shoes for others!"

"What a bear! A soldier is a bear, and a nest of bears will be a nest! ”

The people were not afraid of big things when they saw the excitement, and laughed at the aggrieved officers and soldiers unbridledly. Wang Yuchun had no other way than to shake his head and sigh. The people under him are the first-class elite of the Yamen of the Rehe Capital, but they really can't compare with others at all.

"Ah sneeze, Ah sneeze...... damn, that turtle grandson is scolding Lao Tzu behind his back." Not only Wang Yuchun was uncomfortable, but Chunyou, who was eating a pot of white meat at home, also sneezed a few times.

Swept Wang Yuchun into the garbage heap, Guo Xing'a and his entourage soon arrived at the courtyard where the household was located, and the six hundred cavalry quickly dispersed, surrounding the garden. No one dismounted, and no one spread the word, and more than 600 people and horses quietly blocked the door, as if they were sitting in protest. Of course, the soldiers who guarded the door of the household department had already run in like rabbits to report, and they were also afraid that the immortals would fight and mortals would suffer.

"Don't you want to know how old I am in Guoxing'a? I'm coming, come out and see! "The people in the household department have all become turtles with shrunken heads, and Guo Xing'a has been blocked at the door for a long time and no one has come out, Guo Xing'a and others are impatient, and they began to block the door to beg for the enemy and scold the formation.

But it was like an empty courtyard surrounded by Guoxing'a, and it was clamoring for a long time, and there was no one in it. Guo Xing'a had the intention to scold his mother, but after all, the household book was Su Shun, and Guo Xing'a was afraid that he would scold too much and bring Su Shun in a little. Looking at the empty household compound, Guo Xing'a had a feeling that a dog could not bite a hedgehog.

"Old Five, what are you messing around!" When Guoxing was at the end of his sentence, a broken cry sounded at the entrance of the household department.

"Sixth brother, you are auspicious!"

Su Shun is a busy man, nine out of ten days have to serve in front of Xianfeng, Guo Xing'a didn't expect Su Shun to be there, so he came to settle accounts with great fanfare. It just so happened that today was one of the ten days, and Su Shun was sitting in the household department. The reason why the departments of the household department did not react for a long time was that they were afraid of Guoxing Ahu coming, and second, they went in to report to Sushun.

"What are you bringing so many people for? Do you want to smash the household? Your sixth brother and I are the head of the household, are you coming to me first! "Guoxing'a and Su Shun are in the honeymoon period, and Su Shun has no scruples about reprimanding Guoxing'a.

"Sixth brother, I'm not rushing at you, it's the cousin of your household department who is too bullying. I reimburse the military expenses, and I put up with these bastards, but they are too ruthless, they open their mouths for 40,000 taels, and they are not too ruthless to rob them! He also pointed to the nose of my subordinates and asked me how old I was Guoxing, how I put up with them, and brought some people over to reason. "When I arrived at the official place, the people didn't dare to follow anymore, and without the people watching, Guo Xing'a dared to say anything. And Guo Xing'a complained a little bit about Su Shun, why don't you take care of me in front of the head of the household, and let your subordinates bully me like this.

"What do you know, who knocked you on the bamboo bar, which is called "ministry fee"! Let your people go back, you roll in for me, and I'll talk to you in detail! ”

Guo Xing'a led his troops to show off his might in the city, which was regarded as showing his face in front of the people. Su Shun reprimanded Guo Xing'a, and showed his face in front of the officials of the household department. The murderous soldiers were scared when they looked at it, but Su Shun trained Guo Xing'a like training his son, and the officials of the household department saw it, and they all picked on the thumbs.

"Mu Shun, take someone back!" Su Shun is here, Guo Xing'a can't play a scoundrel, so he can only let Mu Shun take people back, and he obediently follows Su Shun into the household.

"You've always been a low-key person, what's wrong with you lately, cocking your tail? You are also too ostentatious, you must be restrained, don't give others the truth! "After entering the inner hall, Su Shun didn't mention the ministry fee, and educated Guoxing first.

"Got it, Sixth Brother! I'm not out of line! You are in charge of the household, they dare to knock me so hard, can I not find them to play scoundrels! Goxinga complained.

"What do you know, the rules of this fee have been around since the Ming Dynasty, and they have been like this for hundreds of years. It's not just you who lead troops to fight, whether it's river control or construction, as long as it's a fee written off by the Ministry of Households, if there is a lump sum, you have to pay the ministry fee. Even if the heavenly family builds a palace, this fee is indispensable. Su Shun poured a cup of tea for Guo Xing'a.

"This is not the imperial court system, why should they!" Guo Xing'a didn't understand it very much, he was so justified in engaging in gray income, and it was the first time he had seen it.

"Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft the water, relying on the household department has to eat the ministry fee. The officials of each ministry have their own benefits, and the officials who work below can't drink the wind! People also have to live, so naturally they have to be beneficial, and they are the ones who really do things for you. "Su Shun, who vigorously eliminated maladministration in the Xianfeng Dynasty, actually agreed with the ministry fee.

"Sixth brother, you are in charge of the household! Can you waive my ministry fee? "Whether the ministry fee is reasonable or not, Guo Xing'a doesn't argue, just don't eat him.

"No, the officials below are also a family, and people are pointing to this to eat! Cutting off people's financial means is like killing your parents, I don't charge your ministry fees, can they still do things for me? Su Shun refused cleanly.

"Less is fine! Forty thousand taels is too dark! Goxinga began to bargain.

"You kid don't cry poor in me, how much water do you have for 2.7 million taels, don't you count it in your heart? You've already made a lot of money, so let's share the profits with others! "Su Shun's meaning is very clear, everyone is not clean, and no one wants to eat alone. Officials who have worked in previous dynasties and dynasties, how can there be officials who do not have oil and water on their hands, and the ministry fee is just a part of the household.

"Done! You said it, what else can I say! I'll have the money delivered! Goxinga hung his head, he was very unhappy.

"Just follow the rules! Officials with unclean mouths, I will punish them, and you can accept them when you see them! Stay for dinner in the evening, let's talk about it, you have been too swaggering lately, I am always uneasy in my heart, and I always feel that something is going to happen! Su Shun's instincts told him that Goxinga might be in danger.

The next day, Guo Xinga paid the ministry fee, and it seemed that the clouds of the day had dispersed, but there was another accident that night. The eunuch who passed the decree came to the palace, and three days later, Xianfeng wanted to inspect the Gu'an army.
