Chapter 546: "Flesh and Bone"

The thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother expected it well, and on April 16, Kangxi made an order to prepare the western route soldiers in the Naturalization City, which was garrisoned by the Eight Banners on the right outside the mouth.

In addition to the 3,000 soldiers drawn from the Eight Banners of the Naturalized Right Guard, there are also 1,000 soldiers from the Eight Banners of Mongolia, Chahar, Erut, and Balhu who each selected 1,000 and also went to the Naturalization City. In addition, there are 2,000 Mongolian Ordos soldiers, 500 Alxa Belle Abao soldiers, and 1,000 Tumut two banner soldiers.

The above soldiers and horses, except for the 3,000 Manchurian soldiers who were led by the general Feiyangu, the others all had the commanders of the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Mongol princes.

Fu Erdan, a third-class prince who has been dismissed as the minister of the guard, still has the post of the Mongolian capital of the White Banner, and this time he happens to be one of the generals who lead the army.

In addition to Fu Erdan, Alxa Baby Le Cao Hao also knows.

In the summer of the year before last, after receiving the "Dangsang Wangbo" in Outer Mongolia, the last place to settle was the family temple of Alxa Abaole, Rege Sumu Guanbu.

Ngawang Dorjibai, the son of Ah Bao, practiced Buddhism under the Tamsang Wangpo sect, and I don't know if it was considered his blessing.

The Manchurian soldiers of the right guard and the Chaha soldiers were allocated by the military department for six months.

In addition, Kangxi also decreed that the horses and camels of the Eight Banners Ranch would be handed over to the Eight Banners to be raised and given money and grain as usual.

This is a gesture of preparation for war, because the holy decree mentions that although it is difficult now, it will be beneficial later, "If there is action, then from now on the horse will go forward, and when it reaches the mouth, the horse from the other place will come again, and everyone will benefit." ”

Cao Hao is still not idle, and with the directors of the car driving department, the pen post style, will be the Eight Banners Ranch can be shipped this year to count the horses.

And when it was twilight, he squeezed out all the water from the books, and the number was fourteen thousand nine hundred and fourteen, and seven hundred and ninety-one camels.

According to the number of the Eight Banners, 17 horses were added to each leader. The number of camels is limited, and there is no way to send them to the leaders of the flags, so they are fed by the eight banners.

Zuo Ling is the Chinese name of Manchu Niu Lu Zhangjing. Niulu is the basic household registration military establishment unit of the Eight Banners, and as early as the time of Nurhachi, 300 Ding was set as one Niulu.

stationed in the Eight Banners of Beijing, the official position of the assistant leader is under the leadership of the staff; The garrison of the Eight Banners is located under the co-leader. They are all four products, mostly hereditary, in charge of household registration, military registration, and litigation in peacetime, and in wartime they are military leaders.

The Cao family started from Cao Hao's great-grandfather, and had the hereditary position of wrapping clothes and collars, which was later passed on to Cao Hao's grandfather Cao Xi, and then passed to Cao Yin.

In the forty-eighth year of Kangxi, the Cao family carried the flag from the Zhengbai flag to the Zhengbai flag, and the earlier office was taken over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

On the side of the Manchurian Banner, the leaders are hereditary. Even if the incumbent commits a mistake and is dismissed, it is made up by a member of the fraternal clan. It is not easy for the Cao family to intervene.

The matter of leading the world was dragged down in this way.

It wasn't until Cao Yin went to Beijing that Kangxi made someone draw 300 dings from the population of Zhengbai Banner to be a Niu Lu alone, and Cao Yin served as the assistant leader.

Cao Hao finished these numbers, remembering the resoluteness of the thirteenth elder brother yesterday, and he was also a little worried in his heart. The fourteenth elder brother and Nersu and others, when they mentioned the general Fei Yanggu who was on standby in Naturalization City, they were all full of envy.

Although the pronunciation is about the same, this Fei Yanggu is not the famous Fuyuan general of the Kangxi Dynasty, nor is it the Fei Yanggu who served as the Minister of the Interior.

The two Fei Yanggu, the former's surname is Dong E, he is the son of the third-class Bo E, the younger brother of Shunzhi's favorite concubine Dong E, and Kangxi died of illness in 40 years; The latter's surname is Wulanara, the father-in-law of the fourth elder brother, who died in the thirty-seventh year of Kangxi.

This time, Fei Yanggu, who was ordered to lead the Right Guard Eight Banners and Mongolian soldiers to aid Hami, was a clan, an idle clan in the early years, and was named an auxiliary prince in the 51st year of Kangxi.

In his early years, he served as the commander of the protector army, and when he pacified Galdan, he served as a military counselor, and accompanied the Fuyuan general Feiyangu in the battle.

It's okay to call it that other people, a yellow-belted prince, so respected, leading an army alone, how can it not make the eyes of the fourteenth elder brother and Nersu, who are keen on military affairs, hot?

I don't know where I got the rumors, but Kangxi also had to transfer the Eight Banners from the Northeast to serve as the Third Route Army.

This is not nonsense, in the early years of the Galdan rebellion, now on the royal drive pro-government, in addition to the pro-led middle route army, there are also Heilongjiang generals sent troops on the east road, Feiyangu West Road troops, and three ways out of the division.

In this way, the fourteenth elder brother, Nersu and others couldn't sit still, so they all wrote an excerpt asking for war and went to Changchun Garden.

Previously, under Cao Hao's persuasion, Nersu alienated the fourteenth elder brother without a trace. Now because of the war, the two go in and out together, and the relationship looks a little closer than in the past.

Cao Hao looked at his eyes, and he was secretly anxious.

However, there are many people in the yamen, and it is not a place to speak, so it seems that they have to go to the Pingjun Palace.

If it is classified as the "14th Party", it will have to suffer for half a lifetime.

Cao Hao remembered that the fourteenth elder brother and the elder brother of the clan kings all went out to fight when they quelled the rebellion in Tibetan Province, but this time he didn't know how Kangxi would arrange it.

However, it is specified that it is either the thirteenth elder brother, otherwise the thirteenth elder brother will not be silent until the fourth elder brother comes to power.

Cao Hao expected it well, but Kangxi couldn't sympathize with the innocence of the thirteenth elder brother.

*Changchun Garden, Qingxi Book House.

Kangxi held in his hand the battle fold sent in by the thirteenth elder brother, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He squinted his eyes, remembering the matter of the royal government and the princes to conquer Galdan.

The eldest elder brother is the vanguard officer, leading the Eight Banners Firearms Battalion and the Eight Banners Forward Battalion to go first, the third elder brother is in charge of the Red Flag Battalion, the fourth elder brother is in charge of the Red Flag Battalion, the fifth elder brother is in charge of the Yellow Flag Battalion, the seventh elder brother is in charge of the Yellow Flag Battalion, and the Eighth Elder Brother is in charge of the Blue Flag Battalion.

He was in the prime of life, and his sons were like eagles spreading their wings, showing their hands and feet, and they were really full of morale.

At the beginning, he was still very proud, and he thought that his godson had a way.

Historically, the royal family has been extraordinary. The sons of the emperor, most of the generations are virtuous and mediocre.

Like him, how many emperors can his sons have become talented in this world?

However, the ensuing danger of food shortages made him aware of Suo Etu's calculating heart. Xu is only at this time, and he has been jealous of the second elder brother.

Although he comforted himself that the second elder brother was sincere and filial, and did not do the second elder brother's affairs, most of the villains made their own opinions, but the seeds of suspicion were planted deep in his heart.

After being exposed to wind and rain, it finally grows into a towering tree.

The prince, who was trained single-handedly, secretly contacted the military attache of the Eight Banners stationed in Beijing, and could not escape the suspicion of "forcing the palace"; The sons who had been proud of them were all pale and hateful for the sake of that chair.

The thirteenth elder brother's letter to ask for war is written with blood, but in Kangxi's eyes, this is like a war letter.

Do those rebels want to take this opportunity to make a fuss again?

Kangxi's face was gloomy, and he slammed the fold of the thirteenth elder brother on the imperial case.

Wei Zhu happened to come in, and when he heard the sound of "beat", he couldn't help but tremble in his heart, stopped and bowed down and said: "Long live Lord Qiqi, the fourth elder brother was ordered to wait to see him, and the fourteenth elder brother and the king of Pingjun handed over a sign to ask for a meeting." ”

When Kangxi heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and then nodded and said, "Fourth Brother Xuan, come in!" ”

"Huh!" Wei Zhu responded, bowed down, and withdrew.

After a while, the fourth elder brother came in with Wei Zhu, stood a few steps away from the imperial case, picked up the placket, knelt down, and said: "Erchen Yinzhen is ordered to see the driver, and the emperor Ama is auspicious." ”

Kangxi didn't call out immediately, his eyes swept the folds of the thirteenth elder brother on the imperial case, thought for a while, and said: "The old thirteen have made people on the folds, do you know?" ”

The fourth elder brother was neither humble nor arrogant, and said calmly: "Back to the words of Emperor Ama, but the sons and daughters know. The news I got this morning was full of blood, although it was a little reckless, but in the end it was a loyal and patriotic heart. ”

Kangxi sneered, picked up the fold on the imperial case, threw it in front of the fourth elder brother, and frowned: "Give him the word of the word, let him recuperate with peace of mind, this is not the time when the safety of the society is in danger, and it is not his turn to show his loyalty" Speaking ......of this, he saw a turquoise inkstone on the imperial case, and motioned to Wei Zhu, who was standing beside him, to hand it to the fourth elder brother.

The fourth elder brother took the inkstone, and he was still a little puzzled, so he listened to the fifth Kangxi and said: "This imperial inkstone is given by me, you say it to the thirteenth man, just say what I said, let him copy the "Book of Filial Piety" hundreds of times first, and see what is the duty of a son of man." ”

This was said very seriously, and the fourth elder brother clenched his fists and bowed his head in response, but his heart did not seem to be like a taste.

When such a will is spread, the thirteenth elder brother will be condemned as a "disloyal and unfilial" person. I am afraid that I will be even more difficult in the future.

Kangxi said such mean words, and he felt a little bored, waved his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Kneel down!" ”

The fourth elder brother responded, holding the pine stone inkstone and the excerpt of the thirteenth elder brother just given, and withdrew.

The fourteenth elder brother and Nersuhou were outside the study house, their faces full of excitement.

Seeing the fourth elder brother coming out with something in his hand, the fourteenth elder brother raised his eyebrows, his eyes fell on the fold in the fourth elder brother's hand, and said, "Fourth brother, is this going to move?" It looks like a good inkstone. ”

The fourth elder brother smiled, did not answer, turned around, glanced at Nersu, and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, I heard that you are busy now?" ”

Nersu only felt that the fourth elder brother's gaze was extremely cold, which made people feel afraid.

Nersu remembered Cao Hao's admonition, and then thought about his words and deeds in the past few days, and couldn't help but be vigilant.

"The nephew asked the fourth uncle to say goodbye, and the nephew also looked forward to learning from his ancestors in the bloody field, so he was a little in a hurry. I also know that the fourth uncle is busy with errands, so I should go over and say goodbye as soon as possible. Narsu replied respectfully.

The fourth elder brother saw that Nersu looked respectful, and the unhappiness in his heart went a little, and he felt kind when he looked at him, and his demeanor was gentle, and he said: "It's good to have this thought, you are busy, and you don't care about these false courtesies." ”

The fourteenth elder brother was on the side, looking at the answer between the two, his heart was quite strange, he couldn't help frowning, and whispered "cough".

The fourth elder brother nodded at the fourteenth elder brother and strode away.

The fourteenth elder brother stared at the back of the fourth elder brother, and his expression became solemn.

After a long while, I saw Wei Zhu come out and reply: "Long live the lord said, I am a little tired today, I will collect the fold first, and ask the two masters to go back first." ”

It's really a pleasure to come and a failure.

The fourteenth elder brother wanted to see Kangxi earlier, so he did not return to the palace, but stayed in the garden directly.

Narsu was on his own, and with his personal guards, he hurried back to the city.

Isn't he too close to the fourteenth elder brother?

Nersu remembered Cao Hao's warning before, and then thought about the sharp eyes of the fourth elder brother, and his heart was very panicked.

When he returned to the house, a steward stepped forward and said, "Master, the uncle of the Cao family is here, and he is now waiting in the flower hall, and the master of Fujin is talking with him." ”

Hearing this, Narsu couldn't help but smile on his face. I really can't tell who is the elder and who is the younger brother?

In terms of age, Cao Hao is three or four years younger than him, and he is also spoiled like Cao Hao's younger brother in his heart.

When it came to serious talking, Cao Hao had sharp eyes and unique insights, so people had to get serious and walk to the door of the flower hall, and heard Cao Jia's hearty laughter: "I can't complain that my mother wants to hide it, looking at my father's posture, it is regarded as a great joy, I am afraid that it will not take a few days, and it will be publicized by everyone in the world......"

"What's the big event, tell me about it?" Narsu asked with a smile.

Cao Jiashi was sitting on the kang and talking to his younger brother, and when he saw her husband coming back, she got up and greeted her: "Didn't the master make people say that they would come back later?" Didn't have dinner, and the younger brother came out of the yamen, so he had two mouthfuls of gluttony. ”

Cao Hao also got up from his seat and looked at Nersu, not knowing what to say for a while.

Seeing the stubbornness of the thirteenth elder brother, Cao Hao really didn't have much confidence in his persuasive ability.

Cao Jiashi has been in body for nearly four months, and she is a little pregnant. Nersu held his wife's shoulders and let her sit on the side of the kang, and then smiled at Cao Hao: "Brother Hao, sit down and talk......

*North Street, outside Shilang's Mansion.

Zhao Jia's head came out, and Wu Ya's personally sent it out, with a sneering face, not knowing what to say.

Cao Shuo followed behind, but his face was pale, and he lowered his head to hide his tiredness.

Walking to the carriage, Zhao Jiashi stopped, turned around, and said to Wu Yashi: "Sister-in-law, their children are messing around, but we parents know the severity." How can this marriage event be child's play? Wouldn't that ruin the rest of the lives of the two children? I'll go back first, and I'll come tomorrow, but my brother and sister-in-law complain about me, and I'm cheeky to pick up my daughter-in-law......"

Wu Yashi hesitated for a moment, and finally asked: "Auntie, it's not that I'm troublesome, it's just that it's related to Ruhui, so I have to ask a question." I heard that there is a girl in the son-in-law's house who loves her very much, but I don't know where she is now......"

When Zhao Jiashi heard this, he glared at Cao Shuo on the side, and then said to Wu Yashi: "What do you love very much?" She deserves it too! It's just an old and hearty! Good gentlemen, they all called these hooves to be abducted, which is really hateful. I have sent everyone out, and my sister-in-law does not need to rest on her heart. ”

Wu Yashi listened, nodded slightly, and said: "This is the reason why everyone acts, and there is no reason to ask people to climb to the master's head." I'll just say, the son-in-law is a good surname, if no one instigates it, the little couple won't be able to make trouble like this. ”

"Yes, yes, or my sister-in-law is an understanding person!" Zhao Jiashi was excited, stretched out his hand and grabbed Wu Ya's arm, and said, "My brother is annoyed with me, and I want my sister-in-law to talk about it for me." ”

At the mention of her husband, Wu Yashi was a little embarrassed, and whispered: "I'm afraid that he is three points to blame his aunt and grandmother, and seven points to blame Ruhui." These words, after practicing family law, did not give Ruhui a lot of hardship. When he spoke, he was a little distressed.

Zhao Jia's expression froze, and said, "Ruhui is still young, what's so strange, my brother is really right." ”

The two sisters-in-law were silent for a while, and they didn't know what to say.

Zhao Jiashi looked at the sky, it was not early, so he said to Wu Yashi: "Sister-in-law, then I'll go back first, and I'll come back tomorrow." ”

Wu Yashi thought that her daughter's attitude in the past two days was resolute, and she did not have the slightest intention of changing her words, and she was afraid that the persecution would be too much and something would go wrong, so she hurriedly said: "Grandma listens to me, you don't have to see the sky, you have to let the child ease up for two days, I will persuade your brother to have a good life, and after two days, if there is news, it will be appropriate to send you a letter over there." ”

Zhao Jiashi hesitated for a moment, and knew that there was no other way, so he nodded with a smile and said, "Since this is the case, I will bother my sister-in-law, then I will wait for news from my sister-in-law." ”

Wu Yashi nodded, and Zhao Jiashi took the maid's hand and got into the carriage.

Cao Shuo leaned over in front of Wu Ya's and got on the horse to escort Zhaojia's carriage home.

Wu Yashi watched their carriage drift away, and then turned around and went home, but there was no smile on his face.

The husband is stubborn, and the daughter is like a scale, so it is not easy for the children to continue the broken marriage......******
