296 Eight Masters of the Han Army
"Is the imperial court going to move the adults to Fujian and Zhejiang, or is there someone in Beijing who wants the adults to go?"
Zuo Qing was horrified in his heart, but he didn't hear any news of such a big thing, it seemed that the money invested in the Jingshi Guangdong Hall and the yamen of various ministries had been lost.
"The court hasn't decided yet, but someone is letting out some rumors in Beijing. Hong Lao Jingluo also kindly reminded me that I could prepare early, in case the imperial court really wanted to transfer me to Fujian and Zhejiang, this Guangdong stall could only be handed over to future generations. β
Li Shutai was also very melancholy after speaking, he wanted to make a difference in Guangdong, but not only did he not have an inch of land in office, but he was in trouble one after another, although the military power in Guangdong was controlled by the two feudal domains, but the responsibility of losing the land was that he, the governor, could not get rid of the involvement. Xinhui's side can also be deduced to be Shang Fan's business, but the fall of Zengcheng can't be pushed on Shang Fan, after all, it is the green battalion that is stationed in Zengcheng that is promoted by him, not the soldiers and horses under the domain. Those people in Beijing were afraid that they also saw this and encouraged him to be transferred to Fujian and Zhejiang, strictly speaking, he was indeed incompetent as the governor of Guangzhou.
Several officials in the hall except Zuo Qing and Hong Shiming are all military attaches of the green battalion, they are just surprised that the imperial court wants to change the governor, but they don't think too much, in the eyes of this group of warriors, no matter who the imperial court sends to be the governor, they always want the help of these green battalion generals, so everyone's reaction to Li Shutai's transfer to Fujian and Zhejiang is not so strong.
It was about his own interests in Guangdong, but Zuo Qing couldn't help but ask a little eagerly: "Hong Jingluo can mention which one in Beijing wants to come to Guangdong?" β
"Huh?"
Li Shutai casually glanced at Zuo Qing, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. said lightly: "What can come is none other than the eight families of the Han army, Guangzhou has a garrison general, and the imperial court will never send another Manchurian minister to the governor of Guangdong." β
Eight members of the Han Army?
Zuo Qing was stunned. He is a native of Wuzhou, Guangxi, before the Qing Dynasty, he served as the prefect of Huizhou in the Ming Dynasty, after the Qing Dynasty, he first served as the prefect in Zhaoqing for a few months, and then went to Chaozhou to do military preparations, and then went to Guangzhou to serve as the envoy to participate in politics, so he has been in Guangdong for several years, and the personnel of Yu Jingshi is not very clear. For this Han Army, everyone is even more unheard of.
Li Shutai didn't bother to explain to Zuo Qing which of the eight masters of the Han Army were, so he only tapped his fingers on the table and frowned and thought lowly, obviously thinking about Hong Chengchou's intention to remind him.
Li Guibao wanted to open his mouth to tell Zuo Qing who the eight Han army families were. But when he saw that the master himself did not say anything, he did not mention it in a funny way. Several other military attachΓ©s are all from the Green Battalion, and where would they know about the eight families of the Han Army in Beijing, all of them are as curious as Zuo Qing.
Hong Shiming knows about the eight masters of the Han army. Seeing Zuo Qing's face confused. There was no one to explain to him, thinking that this person was quite respectful to himself before, and everyone knew that the eight families of the Han Army were in Beijing, and it was not a secret thing, so he decided to sell his favor to Zuo Qing, and said to him with a smile: "Lord Zuo doesn't know, the eight families of the Han Army said that it is the famous eight noble families in the Eight Banners of the Han Army, and the Governor is the Li family of the Eight Families of the Han Army." The other seven are Shang, Geng, Tong, Shi, Zu, Cai, and Wang. β
As Hong Shiming spoke, Li Shutai glanced at him. Xuan smiled slightly, and let him explain the doubts of Zuo Qing and the others.
As soon as Hong Shiming said this, Zuo Qing suddenly realized: "This Shang family and the Geng family are the two families of King Pingnan and King Jingnan, and the Tong family should refer to the reign of the reign of the Emperor Tong Guogong and his family, but I don't know which four families this Shi, Zu, Cai, and Wang refer to?" β
Hong Shiming nodded, the Shang and Geng families do refer to Shang Kexi, the king of Pingnan, and Geng Jimao, the king of Jingnan, and the Tong family also refers to the descendants of Tong Yangzheng, and the Tong family is now headed by the first-class country Tong Tulai.
"The Shi family said that it is the red flag and the mountain is true, and it is now the Shi Tingzhu Shi family of General Zhenhai." After Hong Shiming finished speaking, he took some sips, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.
Li Guibao interjected: "General Zhenhai was with my master in the early years, but in the old general's family outside the Guanwai, the surname was Guerjia, and it was only because he entered the Han military banner that he had to change his Han surname, so he was surnamed Shi." Shi Huashan, the third son of the old general, married the prince of Yu Duoduo, and was awarded the title of Heshuo, and the other son, Shi Lin, is now the governor of Shaanxi. β
No wonder the Shi family was able to join the eight families of the Han Army, just after Shi Tingzhu surrendered at the earliest, Jin was enough for the Shi family to show off, not to mention that there was also a Heshuo forehead and a Shaanxi governor.
Everyone thought so, but Li Shutai shook his head secretly, the Shi family's status today is not due to Shi Tingzhu's early years from the dragon, nor to his two sons, but to Shi Tingzhu's great contribution in persuading the ancestor to surrender in the Daling River. If it weren't for Shi Tingzhu back then, I'm afraid there would be two or three fewer of these eight families.
Hong Shiming continued: "The ancestral family refers to Zu Dashou's family, but Zu Dashou has never been out of office since he returned to my Qing Dynasty, and the reason why his ancestral family is included in the eight major families is because of the king of Pingxi and Zu Dashou. β
This is not Lao Hong Shiming explained too much, the world knows that Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, is the nephew of Zu Dashou, and the generals who descended to the Qing Dynasty with Zu Dashou in Dalinghe and Jinzhou are now mostly in important positions, such as Zu Dashou's deputy general Zhang Cunren has successively served as the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, the military department of Shangshu, and the governor of the three provinces of Zhili, and the three sons of Zu Dashou are also in important positions in the banner, there is such an inextricable relationship, and Wu Sangui, the nephew, the ancestral family is not one of the eight families.
The last two of the eight families, the Cai family and the Wang family, refer to the Cai Shiying family, the governor of Caoyun, and the Wang Shixuan family, the governor of Sichuan, respectively.
Cai Shiying is the same ancestor of the Qing Dynasty in Jinzhou, after the Qing Dynasty was under the white flag of the Han Army, the first year of Shunzhi with the Qing army into the Houguan led the troops to conquer the thieves, and then from the conquest of Fujian, all meritorious, awarded the imperial history, and the right vice capital of the imperial history. In the sixth year of Shunzhi, he was in charge of the eight banners of the red-clothed general artillery, went to Shanxi to rebel against Jiang Xuan, and conferred the post of Ashani Hafan. In the ninth year of Shunzhi, he was ordered to patrol Jiangxi, and in the twelfth year, he was promoted to the governor of Caoyun, and he was given the title of secretary of the military department.
Wang Shixuan, the head of the last Wang family, was the only one with the least qualifications in the eight families, but he was promoted to the head of the eight families with his military exploits. He served as the deputy general of the Ming army in his early years, and when the Qing army entered the customs in the second year of Chongzhen, he was awarded the general army, and he was subordinate to the Han army.
After the Qing Dynasty, Wang Shixuan as a forward, almost participated in all the battles before and after the Qing army entered the customs, he first entered the customs with Huang Taiji, Abatai, and Haoge three times, and then followed the expedition to Korea, and participated in the Battle of Songshan. In the second year of Shunzhi, Wang Shixuan entered the customs with the Qing army to chase Li Zicheng to Tongguan, and followed Dolgon to conquer the south of the Yangtze River, breaking Yangzhou, Songjiang, Hangzhou, Jiaxing, and Huzhou, all the way to the battle with the blood of the Han people. In the sixth year of Shunzhi, he followed Azig to crusade against Jiang Jiu, recovered Datong and Fenzhou, and is still the commander of the two banners of the Han army, Zhenghong and Red, and his children also have important positions in the army.
After explaining the illustrious family history of the eight families of the Han Army for Zuo Qing and them, Hong Shiming said sadly: "In fact, if it weren't for the death of King Dingnan in Guilin, there would definitely be a Confucian family in the eight families." β
Hearing this, Li Shutai chuckled and said: "If it is really calculated, the Hong family may not be worse than the eight families, and the Fan family (Fan Wencheng), the Ma family (Ma Degong), and the Liu family (Liu Liangchen) with yellow flags; Zuo Mengeng of the Yellow Flag, Xia Chengde, Yi Yonggui, Sun Degong of the White Flag, Ning Wanme, Bao Chengxian, Li Guoying of the Red Flag, Zhao Yihe and Meng Qiaofang of the Red Flag, Gan Yingxiang and Zhang Shiyan of the Blue Flag, Zhang Cunren, Liu Guangbi, Ba Tai of the Blue Flag, which of these families did not make great contributions to my Qing Dynasty, the so-called Eight Masters of the Han Army are just idlers of the Han Army Banner in Beijing boasting about themselves, and my Li family has never dared to claim to be the Eight Masters. β
I didn't want to use so much pen and ink to list these "heroes of the Qing Dynasty" of the Han Army Banner, I am afraid that readers will have the feeling of making up the number of words, but they can't afford not to list, because of indignation!
In order to avoid suspicion of making up the number of words, there are more than 300 words in this chapter that are free. (To be continued.) )
