Chapter 108 - Everyone has a tacit understanding
"The emperor asked: There are people who use force on both sides of the dispute under the Xi'an Gate? Are there any soldiers injured? If so, they will be quickly arrested and handed over to the Jiumen Army Patrol Battalion[1] and the Clearance Department of the Ministry of War. How to deal with it, I know! Hongyi took out the emperor's signboard, but spoke according to his own train of thought without any scruples, ready to end today's farce hastily and make a decision.
"Back to the master's words, although there is a dispute among the subordinates, because the Rakshasa team and the Xi'an Gate Captain are each restrained by their subordinates, the two sides are just quarrels, and there is nothing unbearable! Besides, the Rakshasa team was originally going to pray for the emperor's blessing to the sky, but the Westerners didn't know much about my nine rules, so there was a misunderstanding. Please the emperor's holy judgment! "Is he telling a lie? Of course not, I didn't see the scene of the fight, how dare I deal with the emperor's questioning by hearsay?
Originally, Hetuo was indeed ordered by someone to come to play and suppress, but now the emperor has heard about it and sent his son over, but the result can only be who suffers a loss, who breaks his teeth and swallows it in his stomach.
"Okay, the emperor's words are over. Lord Hetuo, please get up quickly, the emperor's order is in your body, and you can't help yourself, don't blame me for being troublesome! ”
"Slaves don't dare! Lord Baylor is hard! "And Tuo still knelt to do things.
"You should have just returned from the battle in the dangerous land of Yungui, and you have a lot of fatigue, so you really don't need to be polite! Hurry up, please! After Hongyi finished speaking, he raised his hand and gestured to Mara.
"The slave just entered Beijing yesterday! Thank you Lord Belle for your wrong love! He gave the salute again, but he didn't get up.
Mara understood, got up and picked up her brother, then got down on one knee again. Give my brother a hug. The elder brother and Tuo did not support him, and hurriedly leaned down as well. Returning it with a hug. After going back and forth, the two brothers had already given birth and cried with joy.
“haha。 With your two brothers, the generals are loyal to the country, and the guards are loyal to their duties, which is really the luck of the Qing Dynasty and the joy of the emperor! Hongyi was very satisfied, and turned back to the north and saluted. Mara's hug ceremony just now, on the surface, it seems that the younger brother respects the elder brother, thinking deeply, but it has the meaning of giving a gift for his master, and he is not afraid that you and the trust will not appreciate it!
"Lord Belle. You are auspicious from the sky, and it is really my blessing of the Qing Dynasty! Hetuo pulled his younger brother to stand up and praised the master. Although he has been fighting outside for many years, he has not heard of the miracles of this two-year-old child, but the few conversations and contacts just now are indeed unexpected, so he said two auspicious words based on his own speculation, and he did not expect to say them all on the point.
"Haha, where, where. It's not as good as this. Since you're Big Brother Mara, I'll take the liberty of calling you Brother Hetuo, how about it? Hongyi continued to woo.
"Slaves don't dare to make times!" Hetuo dared to accept the emperor's son to call his brother, and hurriedly knelt down again.
"It doesn't have to be that way. Hurry up, please. I really want to make friends with heroes, and please don't refuse people with my brother! ”
"This ......" and Toto lost his mind and was silent.
"Ahun. Although Lord Belle is a high-ranking lord and a golden crow, he treats us subordinates very kindly. Never slang. Since Lord Belle looks up to you and my brother, in my opinion. You agree! Mara intervened just in time.
"Death to a minion! The two slave brothers, but Lord Belle is the first to look forward! "Heto, who was born in the army, is really a little excited.
"It's wrong with Brother To, it's just the three of us who are the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty and my Emperor Amama!" Hongyi smiled and corrected his mistakes, and he was so beautiful in his heart.
"Yes, yes, the slave family will not hesitate to do anything for the emperor!" Heto and Marat hurriedly knelt down again and kowtowed.
When the two sides were still exchanging courtesies, John Tang also came. With Mara, an acquaintance on both sides, Hongyi gave his two brothers extra face, and things were naturally much easier, and a group of people quickly solved the whole incident with three times and five divided by two:
First, the Humen Military Academy is very discerning and unifies the caliber: misunderstanding and misunderstanding, seeing that Yangyi is not very accustomed to it, I thought it was a meticulous work. So he saved the Rakshasa No. 100. Hetuo was naturally indispensable to "suppress" the very reluctant Daoqian of the city gate captain, and the "Mr. Buick" group also admitted their mistakes very gentlemanly under the command of Hongyi.
Second, under the command of Hongyi's eyes, John Tang agreed with a little reluctance - his southern hall could allow the Rakshasa soldiers who believed in Orthodox Christianity to be used as a chapel, and it would start from the Sunday of the day after tomorrow. (Historical records record that the Russians who were captured during the Kangxi period did borrow the South Hall and the East Hall in Beijing to pray and worship.) )
A misunderstanding finally disappeared in the very tacit cooperation.
Hongyi wants to go back to restore his life, and Hetuo wants to go back to the camp to settle the troops, and Tang Ruowang wants to go back to make some preparations in his Nantang, each of them has official business, so he said goodbye to him, gathered and dispersed, and there will be a period later.
At the time of parting, Hongyi "insisted" that Mara go with his brother so that he could recount his brotherhood. But the two brothers didn't agree to anything, so they had to ask Mara to escort Lord Belle back to the palace first. As a result, Hongyi "reluctantly" agreed. In fact, whether it is Hongyi or Mara, they don't want to miss the first time to have an in-depth exchange with each other.
"Tang Lao Mafa, you have to hurry-up about the Firearms Research Institute and that book!" This is the parting words of Hongyi and John Tang, and the old foreigner looks sincerely afraid, and once again treats it as the holy voice of God.
The Rakshasa team of 100 people, naturally under the command of Bekotov, obediently returned to the Jingshan Firearms Battalion station. But the difference is that Hongyi let them follow behind him and escort them.
Since it's a pro-soldier, let's use it.
After the team was completed, before leaving, Hongyi briefly told Bekotov that soon, there would be a battalion of green battalions to join them. These days, you must be cautious, otherwise, you kid will have good fruit to eat! Buick received such a play, and naturally bowed his head.
"Also, you go back and make a house discipline rule for me!" Hongyi dropped a sentence and got up and left.
"Your Highness, what are the Internal Affairs Discipline Regulations?" Buick shouted in the back.
"It's what you can do and what you can't do as a Rakshasa team! The list is clear! Hongyi didn't look back when he said this, and added: "Hurry up and keep up with me!" ”
"Huh!" Bekotov replied very vigorously, and commanded a group of Rakshasas with high noses and deep eye sockets to quickly run to keep up with Hongyi's flickering shoulder.
Everything was resolved lightly. There is no use of the emperor's edict and the token of "Ruo I am coming". Could it be that Hongyi forgot? Naturally not.

Back in the palace, Hongyi first went to the palace to restore his life. At that time, Kong Sizhen's "little aunt" had already left. The whole process of the Xi'anmen incident was described by Hongyi's small mouth as thrilling. just didn't mention that he had met Hetuo, and he also half-concealed his judgment of the mastermind behind this matter. Fu Lin was naturally very satisfied, and repeatedly emphasized that Xuan Ye should train this personal soldier well. The little prince bowed his head.
Back to the East Second Institute, Ji Kaisheng was already waiting here.
"Lord Belle, the two of us have something important to report!" Before Hongyi entered the door, Ji Kaisheng pulled Mara and prepared to speak.
"Slow! I have important matters to discuss with you. "Hongyi is not out of proportion, and it is mainly me.
"Huh!" The master is the master, and if you have a big event when the sky falls, you have to bear it first. Listen to the master first.
"Mara, how am I doing to you?" After Hongyi sat on the kang, he opened his mouth and suddenly said this.
"Lord Belle treats me like a mountain!" Mara was shocked, and thought that she had been told what had happened this morning, so she hurriedly knelt down and bowed down in fear.
In Hongyi's eyes, kneeling is now the standard action to show loyalty.
"Well, I will never despise you in the future. However, your eldest brother and To, I also plan to help him! ”
"Huh? Instrumental? Mara didn't get it.
"Your eldest brother is with the wrong person! Don't you want to give him a hand? "Hongyi is not talking nonsense. He Tuo personally admitted that he had just entered Beijing yesterday. According to common sense, the subordinates of the pro-soldiers would not have been on duty at Xi'an Gate so soon, and it seemed that they had also come in a hurry after the incident.
Weishenme is a red-flag-inlaid man who has just been built, and the dust and dust have come to cheer for the gate guarding military academy under Xi'an? Since everyone in Beijing knows that the Rakshasa team belongs to the firearms battalion, and this firearms battalion is the "field" of his smash hit little Belle Ye. Then send any red flag leader stationed within the nine gates of the Beijing Division, and he will not have any scruples! In this way, the most suitable person is likely to lose face. It's the people who are out on the battlefield and don't know about their "glorious deeds" for more than a year! And this person was precisely chosen and trusted! So to speak. The suspicion of the former flag owner with the red flag is the greatest!
It must have been that after he learned that the Rakshasa soldiers had a dispute with the Gate Military Academy, he came up with such a good idea to compromise himself! It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven. My own Mara rushed back in time!
In Xi'anmen just now, I didn't say anything, let alone investigate to the end, in the final analysis, I wanted to protect Mara's brother. There is also a layer of deep meaning, but it is also impossible to force and do your best, that is, to fight for Luo Keduo, the king of Pingjun! You must know that this county king has made great achievements for his cousin Xuanye in the official history of the Kangxi Dynasty. You can't turn friends into enemies just because you have crossed over and cut off the status of the owner of the red flag banner of others!
"Please make it clear to Lord Belle! Help my eldest brother Yu Shuihuo" Mara is actually a little unclear, but the master said, if you don't understand, you have to do it! So he asked decisively.
"Okay, it's actually very simple, with your eldest brother's character, you can ...... like this" Hongyi motioned for Mara to get up and come closer, and lowered his voice, only the two of them and Ji Kaisheng on the side could hear clearly.
[1] The Jiumen Army Patrol Battalion, that is, the predecessor of the commander of the five battalions of the Nine Gate Infantry Army (referred to as the "Infantry Army Commander Yamen", also known as "Nine Gate Admiral", "Infantry Battalion", "Patrol Five Battalions" and other titles). At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the three battalions of the Jiumen Army were placed under the command of the Ministry of War, and the Han officials were in charge of their decrees, and in the thirteenth year of Kangxi (1647), the commander of the Jiumen Infantry Army was set up, and the Manchu ministers were in charge of their affairs. In the thirtieth year of Kangxi (1691), the three battalions were patrolled and belonged to the infantry army, and in the forty-sixth year of Qianlong (1781), it was increased to five battalions. In order to defend the Beijing division and maintain the social order of the capital, the infantry army was set up in the early years of Shunzhi to command the yamen, mainly to command the Eight Banners infantry army in the capital and suburbs. In 1674 (the thirteenth year of Kangxi), in order to strengthen the armed guards of the Beijing division and protect the safety of the imperial city, the Kangxi Emperor ordered the "infantry army commander Yamen" to take over the armed guard task of the 9 city gates in the inner city of Beijing, and then the 7 city gates in the outer city of Beijing were also guarded by the Yamen, the commander of the infantry army. At this point, its tasks and establishment were different from those of the ordinary Eight Banners Army stationed in Beijing. He is in charge of the guards, inspections, access controls, night patrols, bans, armor protection, arrests, trial of cases, imprisonment of prisoners, and signal cannons. In 1691 (the thirtieth year of Kangxi), the jurisdiction and authority of the infantry army commander yamen were further expanded, and the patrol camps outside the city and suburbs of Beijing were also placed under its jurisdiction. In 1782 (the forty-sixth year of Qianlong), the patrol battalion was expanded and increased to five battalions, including the middle, south, north, left and right, so it was also called the "five patrol battalions". At its peak, the troops under the command of the infantry army under the yamen had more than 20,000 soldiers of the Manchurian, Mongolian, and Han Eight Banners and the Green Battalion. More than 10,000 people (including more than 4,000 cavalrymen) were patrolled and arrested in the five battalions. It became the main garrison of the Qing Dynasty in the Jingshi area, and it was also a police force of the Qing Dynasty to maintain law and order in the capital. The commander of the five battalions of the Nine Gate Infantry Army was mainly responsible for protecting the safety of the Beijing division and maintaining social order, which was established in Beijing as the capital of the Qing Dynasty and existed until the death of the Qing Dynasty.
