"Huh? Mingrui! Qianlong was taken aback, "Didn't he die with General Zhaohui in the northwest?" I also ordered to appease his family, what is going on! ”

"Your Majesty, Mingrui is not dead, when General Zhaohui died, he was captured after killing six generals under Mu Zhuolun in a row, and has been imprisoned by the Red Flower Society until now!" , Fukangan lowered his head and replied, of course, anything like killing six generals was said by Mingrui, and he himself didn't believe it.

"Hmph, even if you are captured on the battlefield and imprisoned, you can always commit suicide while you are in prison!" , Qianlong sneered.

"Mingrui also said that he planned to commit suicide to serve the country, but later discovered a big secret, so he was bent on reporting the news to His Majesty, but the Red Flower Society was closely guarded and couldn't get rid of it." , Fukangan twitched the corners of his mouth as he answered, he was already speechless about this cousin's brazenness.

"And what is he here for?" , Qianlong said impatiently, shameless ministers have seen a lot, and it is rare to see such a shameless one as Mingrui, "How can the Red Flower Society not be strictly guarded this time?" ”

"He said he had a way to fend off Zhuang Rei's attack." , Fukangan's heart rose to his throat when he spoke, "This time it was the Red Flower Club that sent him back." Say that there is something to discuss with Your Majesty! ”

"What is there to discuss with the traitor! Drag him down", Qianlong was not good-tempered, and when he heard about the Red Flower Society, he wanted to kill Mingrui, hey, Shanxi? Forget it, listen to him, there's no good way to kill him again, it's not too late, "Bring him up!" ”

"The minions obey." , Fukangan bowed and retreated, and after a while, Kung Fu Mingrui came to the hall; I saw that as soon as Mingrui entered the hall, he knelt on the ground and cried, crying while saying, "The slave was captured." Unfortunately fell into the hands of thieves, I wanted to die to die for the country, but the slave found out that the saffron would conspire to rebel, and the slave thought of enduring the humiliation and reporting the news to His Majesty, so he survived until now, and when the thief camp was in the camp, the slave thought about meeting His Majesty day and night. After five years, three hundred and forty-five days and eight hours, today I finally have the honor to admire Tianyan again, and the slave died without regrets! After speaking, he clung his head to the floor and cried.

Fukangan admired it on the side, it's a pity for his cousin, if he hadn't led the army outside but had been in the court, how could he have the day of Heshen's beginning!

Qianlong was also stunned for a while before he reacted, oops, this slave was crying so sadly. I'm afraid that I have really suffered a lot of grievances, and I still remember the last time I saw me clearly when I was trapped in the enemy camp, which can be described as loyal, and the ancient Su Wu is no better than this, right? sighed and comforted, "Aiqing has worked hard all these years, have you ever gone home to see it after returning to Beijing?" ”

"After the slave returned to Beijing, he immediately found a way to enter the palace to report the important matter to His Majesty, and he has not yet returned home!" , Mingrui felt proud for a while. I knew you forgot everything when you heard about it.

"Aiqing has a heart, and let's talk about what you can do to solve Shanxi's predicament?" Qianlong has not forgotten the most important thing.

"This", Mingrui boldly raised his head to look left and right, his face was embarrassed, Qianlong waved his hand to let the idle people retreat before he said, "Your Majesty, the reason why Shanxi is in trouble now is because we have no soldiers." There is a way for the slave to get 30,000 elite soldiers for His Majesty immediately! ”

"What!" , Qianlong couldn't sit still as soon as he heard this, if he put it in the previous 30,000 people, he would have seen it, but over the years, he was killed and captured by the Red Flower Society, and hundreds of thousands of troops were wiped out. Now 30,000 people is a lifesaver for him, and with these 30,000 people, it is enough to block Prince Zhuang's attack.

"Where did these 30,000 people come from?" , he hurriedly asked, "If Aiqing can really find an army of 30,000 for me, I will pardon you for the crime of being a thief, and your title has been inherited by your son, and I will make you a duke again!" ”

"Your Majesty." , Mingrui secretly looked at Qianlong's expression, and replied cautiously, "In the past few years, many soldiers of our Great Qing Kingdom have been captured by the saffron thief, and when the slave came, the saffron thief said that he could release 30,000 people to serve His Majesty!" ”

"What!" , Qianlong almost vomited out a mouthful of blood, and you told me this for a long time? Isn't this a trick that Red Flower will do? Release back 30,000 people first, and then wait for these people to go north before making trouble, and then they can take advantage of the situation! Qianlong thought darkly.

Before coming, Mingrui had carefully thought about what Qianlong would think, and when he saw Qianlong so much, he immediately explained, "Your Majesty, the saffron thief said, "When the time comes, I will take out the roster of prisoners and let Your Majesty choose, and then I can send them to the north in batches of every hundred people, and I am not afraid that they will have any bad intentions!" ”

"They didn't say they wanted me to reward them?" , Qianlong still refuses to lose face, presumably it is not unconditional to release so many prisoners, right?

"Then Chief Chen Chen said that the battle between him and His Majesty is an internal matter in the Central Plains after all, what is it that the Rakshasa people are involved? So these centaurs are put back to fight the Rakshasas, and they don't want any reward! Mingrui hesitated for a long time, and never dared to call Chen Jialuo a thief.

"Hmph, woman's kindness!" , if he changes his position, Qianlong is afraid that he will only be happy that the enemy is attacked by the Rakshasas, and maybe he will also call fire and rob, which will provide troops for the enemy; Thinking of Chen Shiqi's reputation for loving the people, he regarded Chen Jialuo's actions as a scholar's business.

"The minions have already brought the list over, and please ask Your Majesty to take a look at them and see which people and horses you want to use?" , Mingrui saw that Qianlong was a little moved, and immediately took out the list and handed it over.

Qianlong looked at the 20,000 people in the Fujian Green Battalion, 10,000 in the Zhejiang Green Battalion, 3,000 in the Jianrui Battalion, and 2,000 in the Xiaocai Battalion listed above.

"Hmph, you can take a look too!" , Qianlong snorted coldly and handed the list to Fukangan, who saw that there were many of his cheap Lao Heng's subordinates on it.

"You think we should take back those 30,000 people?" , Qianlong asked sullenly.

"Your Majesty, now that the world is restless, the Han people are unreliable, let's redeem the Xiao Cavalry Battalion and the other captured Eight Banners men and horses!" , Fukangan replied.

Qianlong glanced at him, you are a Han person! After thinking about it for a while, he said slowly, "This battle is dangerous, I'm afraid there will be heavy casualties, I can't bear to let the children of the Eight Banners suffer this catastrophe again, I still want the Han people!"
