Chapter 197: Fighting Method
"Slave thank you lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Ma De respectfully accepted the holy decree, got up and handed over a silver ticket with a smile and asked, "There is a father-in-law, a little tea money is not a tribute, and I hope that my father-in-law will accept it with a smile!" ”
When the warden saw the five or two words on the silver ticket, he couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and after accepting it with a smile, he said, "Congratulations, sir!" My lord will definitely be able to make a great contribution to the northwest and return to Beijing as soon as possible! ”
"It's all Your Majesty's blessing! We can't be rewarded as minions, we can only fight on the battlefield to kill the enemy! Ma De responded with a smile, and then changed his words, "I wonder if my father-in-law can know which lord made us get this great benefit by his kind words in front of His Majesty this time?" ”
"We don't know about this! Our family is just a subordinate serving His Majesty, how can we slaves and maids inquire about such military affairs? The prisoner's eyes changed and said, Qianlong treats the ministers leniently, and the prison of these inner palaces is very harsh! At every turn, someone broke the rules and was beaten to death, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense.
Ma De also knew that he was presumptuous in asking, and hurriedly added, "Hehe, I was also happy to be confused, but I was afraid that I wouldn't find anyone to thank me, so I was careless for a while, and I hope my father-in-law will bear with me!" ”
After sending him off from prison, Ma De immediately sent someone out to inquire about the news, and soon knew that there were other people besides him who were promoted to the northwest this time, what was going on? Ma De's thinking fell into confusion, he was disturbed when he was discussing with Prince Zhuang that day, he was frightened at that time, and today he received a holy order to go to the northwest, isn't this His Majesty knowing that he is colluding with Prince Zhuang, and intends to branch himself far away and then find an opportunity to kill himself? But what's the point of involving other people now? Is it a cover-up or is it indeed a promotion?
Not to mention that Ma De can't figure it out, even Hongtian can't figure it out, since the day before yesterday, Prince Zhuang and Ma De were knocked out of the meeting, Prince Zhuang immediately shrank back in the past two days. The matter of contacting the Manchurian relatives and nobles fell on Hongday's head, and he heard that Ma De received the news that he was promoted to the Northwest Army, and immediately disguised himself as a food delivery person and mixed into Ma De's mansion, and after listening to Ma De, he pondered for a while before saying. "It's not clear whether this is good or bad at the moment!"
"So what should I do? Is it to drag on in Beijing for a while or immediately? Marder asked.
"We must not drag it out in Beijing!" Although it is a pity that there is one less member of the palace to respond, but at present, they are not ready, and anything that can arouse Qianlong's vigilance cannot be done, Hongtian hurriedly persuaded, "No matter what, it is always a good thing to be promoted, you hurry up and pack up your things now and prepare to take office, at present, the elite troops of our Qing Dynasty are all in the northwest, if you can get Ah Gui's appreciation." Mastering a part of the military power will be of great help to our major affairs! If the Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion in the northwest can be used for its own use, even if it is defeated in Beijing, he can retreat in an orderly manner!
"Hey, then we'll go! But we have to take care of these small families in Beijing! Ma De said, patting his head.
"Please rest assured, before the incident in the future, this king will definitely send your family members outside the city first, and then take them back to the capital after the matter is completed!" , this kind of means to win people's hearts will not be lacking.
After coming out of Ma De's house, Hongtian returned to his house and slowly pondered the changes in the past few days. Since there is a possibility that the matter will be leaked, it is time for your side to step up your actions! It's a pity that Prince Zhuang can't come out to do activities these days, and the efficiency of his own side to win over the Manchu relatives and nobles may be greatly reduced! Hum. Since I'm not feeling well, then I can't let Hongli's cheap seed have a good time!
After a few more days, there were suddenly more twists and turns about the Red Flower Society in the court, all urging the court to take action as soon as possible to arrest Chen Jialuo, the chief helmsman of the Red Flower Society, and more or less pointed out that the big leader of the Red Flower Society was the son of the late Dashi Chen Shiqi.
The drunkard doesn't mean to drink! Qianlong sighed after receiving the fold, if Chen Jialuo is really arrested, then the next step should be to discuss whether to deprive Chen Shiqi and his wife of the reward! But these twists and turns are high-sounding and have a face that considers my Qing court, and it is not suitable for me to press it hard! A few times ago, you could have made excuses to push things aside, but now so many people are in books. Liu Tongxun has already returned to the capital, what if he chases after him again and asks? Qianlong felt a headache. After thinking about it for two more days, I had to issue a letter ordering Chen Jialuo's whereabouts to be traced painlessly, and secretly instructed Bai Zhen and other cronies. The key at the moment is to prevent someone in Beijing from making trouble, and this matter only needs to be dealt with by two people.
"Humph! And so it was! That little boy really didn't dare to track down Chen Shiqi's son! After receiving the news, Prince Zhuang patted the table and said, "If he doesn't check, let's send someone to arrest that Chen Jialuo and see how he should be found!" ”
"Lord Wang, this matter is not appropriate!" , Hongtian shook his head and said, he pretended to be a florist again today, "My nephew also inquired about Chen Jialuo, there are tens of thousands of people up and down this red flower meeting, we are now the time to employ people, and it is inevitable that we will take out people to investigate this matter!" ”
"And what do you say?" , Prince Zhuang asked.
"The top priority is to seize the military power in Beijing, on the one hand, continue to send people to urge him to careless, on the other hand, now there are wars in the northwest and Henan, we just took the opportunity to write a book, recommend those generals who are close to Qianlong's cronies to lead the troops to the battle, and spread his manpower in Beijing, so as to change our people to the position! When we take down the soldiers and horses in Beijing, are we still afraid that he will not be able to change? Hongyang has already thought of a countermeasure to this!
After sending out a succession of cronies and generals, Qianlong also sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly redeployed reliable generals from outside Beijing to supplement the shortage, but it would take some time for these people to straighten out their subordinates, and he also found an excuse to drive Prince Zhuang's family out of Beijing, but the shortage of these people still fell into the hands of Prince Zhuang's family.
Bai Zhen has made some progress in tracking down the spies these days, and after some investigation, he found that there are five people who have behaved differently from usual recently, including the unlucky Chu Yuan, and these people are also secretly watched.
Just when the two families of Qianlong and Prince Zhuang were fighting in the dark, Chen Jialuo sprinkled red flowers everywhere and stared at the changes in the scriptures, while waiting for the arrival of Yuan Shixiao. At the same time, there is another important thing waiting for him to do. On this day, he changed his face and came to a well-known restaurant in Beijing, found a corner to sit down, and waited quietly for the arrival of the goal. (To be continued)
