Chapter 45: Hungry and Full

Duoduo is back from the May Day holiday, and the biography is over, now continue to read the matter of Yu Fan's last dynasty! Thank you!

"There is one more thing I want to explain to you, that is, the emperor, in this expedition, decided to drive the expedition in person and serve as the main general! A month later, he will personally lead troops to the border area of Shaanxi to crusade and suppress the White Lotus Sect rebels! So you can recommend a lieutenant general! ", He Shen added.

"Huh? He Shen said something different from what he decided before", hearing He Shen's proposal, Yu Fan was a little puzzled in his heart, "Didn't this Qianlong already decide to ask Fu Chang'an to accompany me to Shaanxi in the Heart Cultivation Hall just now, why is this He Shen talking about this election deputy general again?" Well, there must be ghosts in there! ”

Yu Fan glanced at Qianlong and found that this Qianlong was leaning on the dragon chair at this time and closing his eyes to recuperate, leisurely, completely ignoring the matter of the deputy general candidate proposed by He Shen! Yu Fan thought to himself, maybe in Qianlong's opinion, after twenty days, Yu Fan would not be able to fight Fu Chang'an at all! So Fu Changan is not the main general but also the deputy general, and now He Shen said that he wants to choose one more general, and it is not in the way at all!

Yu Fan looked at He Shen again, and found that He Shen's eyes were indeed shining, which was a precursor to a conspiracy!

"Well, it seems, you have to take one step at a time! Anyway, now Heshen won't burn the fire to me at all, I have the right to watch the excitement! Let's also take a look at how He Shen is in this court! Yu Fan thought about it and felt that it was better to watch from the wall at this time.

"Your Majesty, you are the main general?! How can this be done, the White Lotus Sect disciples are fierce people, if they learn that you will come to the border of Shaanxi in person, they will definitely secretly send assassins, and rashly going out on an expedition may not be good for you, the emperor! Moreover, the emperor has every opportunity, and you have to decide every detail of the civil and military officials, and it is impossible for you to take the time to go to Shaanxi! Your Majesty, you must know that this court cannot be without a king for a day, Your Majesty! After an old minister heard He Shen speak, he knelt down on the spot and shouted to Yu Fan!

Yu Fan doesn't know which minister he is, but if he can become a five-member group in the Qianqing Palace of the Early Dynasty, he must be a high-ranking official like Liu Yong and He Shen or a clean and honest counselor!

Unlike He Shen and Ji Xiaolan and other officials with big bellies, this old official is tall and thin, and his bookish atmosphere is more real than Ji Xiaolan's, with inverted eyebrows, he looks like a person with an open personality and a righteous body! A pair of small sparrow eyes, with a goatee and a mustache, give people a refreshing and comfortable feeling! "Hmmm! This old minister doesn't look like He Shen and the like! But! You know what you're talking about! When will I have a good time! When will the DPRK and China not be without self for a day! As long as Qianlong is still sitting on this dragon chair, as long as Qianlong is still panting! What the hell can I say? I'm waiting for this opportunity to fly out of the birdcage! Moreover, when I talk about my importance in front of Qianlong, isn't this going into the kitchen with a lantern - looking for a spray (basin)! ”

"Ahem!"

Yu Fan covered his mouth and coughed deliberately!

"This decision is made by the heir! The heir has already discussed it with his father, and his father has agreed that the heir should go out to practice in actual combat! Your Excellency also knows that the cancer of the White Lotus Sect is really spreading very quickly! The heir felt that he should personally attack and give him a blow to the head! Take Shaanxi as a chicken to other regions, and teach those jumping monkeys to see our determination to kill chickens this time! ”

"The old minister is still..."

"Hey! The heir of the Lord has made up his mind! You don't need to say it anymore, and I will also tell you one thing, that is, twenty days later, the heir will have a bet with Fu Chang'an, and the heir will go to Shaanxi if he wins, so you don't hold on to this matter anymore! ”

"Wow! Both··· Now that the emperor has decided, then... The old minister didn't say anything anymore, but the deputy general candidate Lao Chen had a general recommendation, and I hope the emperor can think about it! The old minister wanted to speak and stopped.

"Oh? , Lord Wang, do you have any candidates to recommend?! He Shen said.

"Lord Wang?! Could it be Wang Jie, a scholar of Shoufu University?! Well, it must be Wang Jie! Oh, you shouldn't have been so hard just now to say to Wang Jie! But now that it's all come to this, forget it, let's find another time to talk about life with Wang Jie in the future! At this time, Yu Fan thought that in the history of the Qing Dynasty in the last years of Qianlong, Wang Jie was a loyal and upright courtier, and he was an old and prudent courtier, this kind of person must be used for himself, otherwise, he will definitely not be able to do anything if he is just a light commander in the future plan!

"Your Majesty the Emperor, Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the deputy commander of the Yellow Banner, Erle Dengbao, has the qualifications to assist the emperor in his expedition to Shaanxi!" Wang Jie bowed his head to Qianlong and Yu Fan and said, "Needless to say, the previous achievements of the deputy commander of the Zhenghuang Banner, Erle Dengbao, in the past few months, he made great achievements in suppressing the uprising of the people in Hunan, Guizhou and Miao with General Fukangan, and successfully exterminated the rebel rebel army led by Shiliu Deng and Wu Bansheng. ”

"Hungry and full? This·· How could this commander come up with such a strange name? Yu Fan hadn't been exposed to too many Manchu names before, so he sometimes misheard these long names.

"Eledengbao?" , He Shen muttered in surprise, he thought that Wang Jie would recommend his henchman, that is, Qian Daniu, a deputy general from the Han people. Needless to say, from the beginning of the White Lotus uprising, He Shen advocated a severe military blow and wanted to smash the entire White Lotus Sect in a short period of time, but the White Lotus Sect accounted for only a very small minority in the rebel army, and most of them were peasants, disaster victims, displaced people, and a large number of refugees caused by the "official coercion and civil rebellion"! He Shen doesn't care about this, as long as he joins the White Lotus Sect, he should be exterminated!

And Wang Jie felt that in many areas such as Sichuan, Shaanxi, Henan, and Chu, land annexation and exploitation were very serious, the people's lives were miserable, food, clothing, shelter and transportation, there was no way to protect, and a large number of civilians were only kidnapped by individual White Lotus people with evil thoughts when they were cornered, and then the so-called White Lotus uprising broke out, and under the policy of encirclement and suppression by a large number of superior Qing troops of Heshen, the uprising could not be quelled for a long time, and Heshen's policy was fundamentally wrong in Wang Jie's opinion!

Wang Jie wrote to Qianlong more than once, opposing He Shen's radical actions, advocating the implementation of a policy of focusing on cracking down on the high-level forces of the White Lotus Sect while implementing a policy of gentleness towards the low-level cultists, that is, giving preferential treatment to the "surrendered" uprising masses, and even advocating the use of military recruitment to reorganize the village warriors and rebels into a formal army to strike at the White Lotus Sect!

But Qianlong did not adopt Wang Jie's opinion, and the position of the deputy general who suppressed the uprising of the Miao people in Hunan and Guizhou was the Erle Dengbao highly recommended by He Shen! Now Wang Jie actually proposed Erle Dengbao, who had just returned to the capital, instead of Qian Daniu, who had always governed the army with benevolence and righteousness, and He Shen really couldn't figure it out!
