"What is this Zhang Peng for!" , Qianlong ruthlessly threw the Shandong Governor Zhang Peng's recital to the ground, "A few days ago, I also reported that Shandong was Taiping, why did someone rebel so quickly!" ”

Liu Tongxun is a native of Shandong, and he still has some understanding of this parent official in his hometown, so he hurriedly stood up and interceded for Zhang Peng, "Your Majesty, at present, Shandong's troops are concentrated in the southwest to guard against Ma Chaozhu, and the territory is empty, this governor Zhang has only been in office for more than a year, and it is understandable that he is not familiar with the situation in the territory!" At present, the thieves are in turmoil, and it may not be appropriate to temporarily change the local governor! ”

Liu Tongxun's words made some sense, and he held back Qianlong's anger, according to his old temper, Qianlong was afraid that he would scold Liu Tongxun fiercely, but now the secret of his life history has been spread, and the ministers dare not say that they are detached from morality, but most people are no longer as loyal as in the past; Liu Tongxun is one of the few court members who have no second thoughts, and he can't afford not to give face, so he sat down with anger and ordered, "Linqing is a matter of luck, and there must be no mistakes, order that Zhang Peng to quickly gather his troops and be sure to exterminate Wang Lun outside Linqing!" ”

"Your Majesty, at present, more than half of Shandong's troops are in Caozhou Mansion in the southwest, and I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up with Wang Lun for a while." , Fu Heng had participated in the Battle of Jinchuan and was familiar with military affairs, so he came out and suggested, "In addition to letting Zhang Peng transfer troops from Shandong, Zhili's side also has to make some preparations, and Your Majesty can give Fang Guancheng, the governor of Zhili." ”

"Hmph, what does that Guan Cheng know about military affairs!" , Qianlong snorted coldly, this Fang Guan Cheng was born in the famous Tongcheng Fang clan, because he was involved in the "Nanshan Collection" case, his great ancestor, great-grandfather, grandfather, and father were all assigned to the poor side, but such a deep hatred could not change Fang Guan Cheng's perseverance in licking the tartars, and even let him climb all the way to the throne of the governor of Zhili, the descendants of the Tongcheng Fang clan want to say that it is not said, but the military affairs are hehe, Qianlong also knows the roots of this person, "Didn't Shu Hede come back from the northwest to report it, Let him go to Zhili to deal with Wang Lun's affairs! ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!". Shu Hede also participated in the Battle of Jinchuan back then, and he was one of the few Manchurian nobles who knew military affairs now, and Fu Heng was quite relieved about him, but when he thought of the current situation. He frowned and gritted his teeth and said, "But now that Zhili's troops are all sent to the northeast, even if Shu Hede is capable, he will not be able to do it without soldiers!" ”

Qianlong thought about it carefully, and now the troops in the surrounding Shandong went to the south to guard against Ma Chaozhu. Zhili's troops were transported to the northeast, not to mention Henan, and it was not easy for the green battalion in Shandong to block Ma Chaozhu in Guide Mansion, and it was completely impossible to do something else. Qianlong couldn't help but have a headache, I had no available soldiers in the Qing Dynasty!

Fu Heng saw that his master had a headache, and immediately used his brain to ponder, "Your Majesty, it is better to transfer the Shaanxi Ganlu Battalion to the east into Henan, and transfer troops from Henan to the north, and the current troops of Zhili are insufficient." But the defense can still do it! Then transfer troops from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to the north to encircle and suppress Ma Chaozhu, and when the soldiers and horses from all walks of life arrive, they will attack immediately, that Ma Chaozhu and Wang Lun are just some clowns who jump off the beam, and the heavenly soldiers of my court will be scattered as soon as they arrive! ”

"But the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion still has to support the northwest, right now Ah Gui is fighting with Mu Zhuolun in the northwest, and the reinforcements are like a long-term drought, if this is a pull, the situation in the northwest will not be good!" , Qianlong hesitated.

"This". Fu Heng was stunned for a moment, and then had an idea, "Your Majesty, the northwest is just a disease of ringworm and scabies." Shandong and Henan are the biggest troubles, so it is better to recruit Mu Zhuolun first, and then send a large army out of the customs after solving Shandong and Henan. ”

Qianlong knocked on the armrest of the dragon chair and was silent for a long time, and only sighed after a while, in his opinion, the most important thing at the moment is the Northeast. Coming down is Shandong, which can affect Caoyun, and then Henan, and the northwest is afraid that it will be the last, so I nodded and agreed with him, "With such a transfer of troops, Shaanxi, Gansu, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang are empty again, and there won't be any chaos in these places, right?" ”

"The Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion has always been good at fighting, even if half of the troops are left to deter the small group, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are rich, and the people are well-informed and reasonable, and it is not easy to change!" , Fu Heng hurriedly reassured, he is now the person in charge of the Northeast War, and he only thinks about how he can win this battle peacefully, and he can only pray for God's blessing for other places.

"That's all there is to it!" , Qianlong felt tired for a while, and the troops were made up, but as the saying goes, when the army moves ten thousand taels of gold, where should this silver come from? "He Shen, you are in charge of the household department, calculate how much silver the imperial court will take out according to Fu Heng's intentions? How much silver is left in the household? ”

"Your Majesty!" , When Fu Heng was talking just now, he was secretly calculating in his heart, and the calculated number startled him, "The slave has just roughly calculated, if the troops are transferred from Shaanxi, Gansu, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places, the grain and forage, military salaries, and promotion fees may add up to no less than one million, plus it will cost silver to pacify Mu Zhuolun in the northwest, and the two things will not add up to two million taels; In order to raise the expenses of the Northeast Army, the bank's deposit has long been gone! Now there is only another way to make money! ”

The Internal Affairs Office seems to have some money to discuss crimes, but this is what Qianlong left for his next trip to Jiangnan, he didn't have the heart to use this money, and asked impatiently, "What regulations do you have?" ”

He Shen knelt for a long time sweating profusely, and only when Qianlong's patience was about to reach the limit did he think of a way that was not a solution, "Your Majesty, although these two million are much, they are not much if they are distributed to the provinces, so it is better to order the provinces to cooperate!" ”

"This is a method, but the provinces are rich and poor, and the situation in various places must be considered when formulating the amount, and this matter will be left to you!" , Qianlong nodded, well, this minion is good, he can always have good ideas; Seeing that Liu Tongxun seemed to be about to persuade again, Qianlong stood up impatiently, "Just do it!" I'm tired, retreat! ”

As soon as the news came out, the originally deserted Hefu quickly became lively again, and officials from various provinces went to Heshen Mansion to give gifts. However, the officials in Fujian were a little slower to react, and before they could reach the Hefu, the share of the co-payment had already come out, and the relatively barren Fujian Province had already received a huge figure of 200,000 taels.

When the news reached Fuding, Chen Jialuo smiled and said, "When we are sleepy, we will send us a pillow, now this is a good opportunity for officials from Fujian to make a fortune, let's wait to see how this prefect copies!" If he's too harsh, we'll get into trouble right away! (To be continued.) )xh123
