Reading guide: Bao Qibao doesn't want to lose a big one because of a small one, and get rid of a paper tiger.

In order to relieve his suspicion, Taqib personally went to the Admiral's Mansion to see Bao Qibao, but Taqib did not expect it at all.

There is a purpose to "dismiss Qingde and ask questions", but the scheming Luo Bingzhang has left a way out for himself.

He sent the messenger into the signing room......

Li Guandao continued: "The military gate is gentle, in this matter, I want to take two steps at the same time. ”

Bao Qibao was stunned: "Take two steps at the same time?" Tell me about it. ”

Li Guan said: "At the same time that the lowly soldiers were instigated to surround Tazhi Pavilion, another hundred people were divided into a hundred people and went straight to Xiangxiang by boat, and on the way to the cemetery, Zeng Disheng surrounded him, and people took advantage of the chaos. Clean and clean, leaving no traces. Does he still want to go back to the provincial capital to show his prestige??? Let's go in the next life! He will always be with his old mother! ”

Bao Qibao shook his head and said, "You are touching a stone with an egg, it won't work." Killing the minister, this is the work of exterminating the nine clans. I can't do it. It doesn't matter if it destroys you, but Benti can't destroy it in your hands. Put away your calculations before it's too late. ”

The housekeeper walked in at this time and said, "Junmen, Taxietai is here, saying that I want to discuss military affairs with you." ”

Bao Qibao was stunned again, and said casually: "Why did he come?" ”

Li Guandai's eyes suddenly showed a fierce light, gritted his teeth and said: "Let him come in, and he will be cleaned up by his humble position!" Let's see if he dares to be an enemy of the military gate in the future! ”

Bao Qibao glared at Li Guandai, turned his face to the housekeeper and said, "You lead the two of them out through the back door, and then invite Ta Zhiting into the front hall." Benti changed his clothes and went to see him. ”

Seeing Bao Qibao say this, Li Guan had no choice but to exchange glances with Qingren, both stood up, and bowed deeply to Bao Qibao: "Humble duty will not disturb your old trouble." Retired first. ”

Bao Qibao waved his hand impatiently, but said nothing.

The butler led the two to the back door of the garden.

Bao Qibao stood up, paced across the small bridge three times in three steps, and walked to the front hall.

Don't look at Bao Qibao's majestic and powerful appearance in front of people, he is actually the most timid as a mouse.

He hated Zeng Guofan because Zeng Guofan kept Taqib secret again and again, and he had the intention of replacing himself with Taqib.

He hated Taqib because Taqib only obeyed the orders of the Zeng State Domain, and he didn't take him as a constitution in his eyes more and more. He hated Zeng and Ta, but he just wanted to force Zeng back to Xiangxiang to guard filial piety and squeeze Ta out of the Hunan military circle. That's all, nothing else.

When Bao Qibao walked into the antechamber in his official uniform, Tazib was sitting and drinking tea.

As soon as he saw Bao Qibao walk in, Taqib hurriedly got up and said while saluting: "Humble duty to the military gate lord to say goodbye." ”

Bao Qibao picked up Taqib and said, "Zhiting doesn't need to be polite. Hurry up, please. Zhiting, do you have something to do? ”

Tazib sat down and said, "I'm here to talk to my lord about the training in the hot heat. ”

Bao Qibao waved his hand and said: "There is nothing to say about this matter in Futai, and my brother naturally has nothing to say." You are the person who is the secret protector of Lord Zeng, and you are the person that Futai relies on more. You now have more soldiers than your brother's. In the military system of the Qing Dynasty, a province is only allowed to have three standards, the Fu standard, the promotion standard and the town standard. But I have five standards in Hunan. ”

Taqib was stunned: "Why did the military gate say this?" ”

Bao Qibao said with a smile: "Zhiting, don't worry, listen to my brother slowly and listen to you." Lord Luo's raising standard, Benti's promotion, and the general soldier's town standard. These are the three standards stipulated by the imperial court. Of course, the town standard has been helping in Hubei. But the elder brother has now exceeded the town standard, is this considered a standard? The number of Xiang Yong trained by Lord Zeng not only surpassed the standard of the elder brother, but also exceeded the standard of Lord Luo! Isn't this also a standard? It should be a group standard. Isn't this the five standards? ”

Taqib sneered and said, "Lord Junmen, why do you always like to tell jokes lately? No matter how many people are in charge of the belt, he can only be called the association, how can he be the standard? Zeng is my Hunan minister of regimental training, why did the military gate change his old to a military position? What's more, the people who are now in charge of the lowly position have two battalions on the left and right of the standard, two battalions of Xiangyong, and one battalion of the standard. Isn't it still the same number as before? ”

Bao Qibao laughed and said: "Your brother really has a good memory, and he knows that he is a co-ordination, not a standard!" The elder brother thought that the elder brother had already regarded himself as a standard. ”

Tazib got up and said, "Lord Junmen, what do you want to say?" The cooperation to go to the Issuance Examination Bureau to train the group practice, it is your old permission, and it is destined for you. Yes, the humble position was guarded by Lord Zeng. But who Lord Zeng secretly protects and who he impeaches is his old own business, what does this have to do with his humble position? ”

Bao Qibao snorted with his nose and said, "Zhiting, what Ben Ti just said is actually for your good." Benti is afraid that you are young and lack of experience, and you will be in the hands of some people! Qingde has been with me for many years, and I admit that he has a lot of not, but he is not useless. First of all, he was loyal to Bunti and to the imperial court. If he was really like some people said, he was comfortable and didn't care about business affairs, how could the imperial court let him be in Hunan for so many years? What's more, Deng Shaoliang, the general soldier of Hunan, is about to return to the province with the town standard, even if Lord Zeng wants to keep you as a standard, how can Deng Shaoliang pass this pass? Deng Shaoliang's divine grace is so good, who dares to participate in him? ”

Taqib said: "Lord Junmen, the matter of Qing Xietai has nothing to do with lowly duties; When Deng Zongzhen returned to the province has nothing to do with his humble position. I just want to talk to you again about the hot summer training of the battalions guarding the city. Don't think that it is a whim, deliberately tired the soldiers. ”

Bao Qibao rudely interrupted Taqib's words: "Taxietai, Futai has handed over the provincial capital to you to guard. Whether it's training in the heat or watching exercises in the middle of winter, as long as you don't make a fuss, you can do it. Benti Ming'er will return to Yueyang, and in the future, you can only go and discuss with Futai about training, and Benti will not interfere. But Benti's ugly words are ahead, once there is a disturbance, the upper authorities will be investigated, and you can't involve Benti. Taxietai, do you have anything else to do? Benti drank two more glasses at noon, and his head hurt a little, and he wanted to sleep. ”

Taqib saw that Bao Qibao had given the order to expel the guests, and he couldn't say any more, so he had to give a salute helplessly, walked out of the governor's mansion in a huff, and left on horseback with his own soldiers.

As the acting adjutant general of the province, why can't the army he manages be the standard? This has to start with the military system of the Qing Dynasty.

Before the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the Qing Dynasty Taizu Nurhachi first created the Manchurian Eight Banners, due to the lack of troops, Emperor Taizong Taiji added the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Han Army Eight Banners. After the Qing army entered the customs, the area under its jurisdiction expanded, and the frequent use of military force made it obvious that the number of troops was insufficient. Therefore, on the basis of the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of the Han Army, green battalions were added in various provinces. There is another purpose of adding the green camp, which is to rule the Han with Han. Because of the latter purpose, the three eastern provinces only have the banner soldiers under the command of the general and the deputy capital, and there is no green battalion. The Green Camp is also known as the Green Flag. The troops under the commander-in-chief are called the governor's standard, the troops under the governor's command are called the governor's standard, the troops under the commander's command are called the standard, and the troops under the commander-in-chief are called the town standard. However, the troops under the adjutant general cannot be called the standard, but can only be called the association. In order to make it easy for readers to understand, we generally refer to the troops under the command of the adjutant general as the co-standard. This is not the case. The association is the association, and the association cannot be marked after the association. Only the troops under the command of the military officer above the general rank are allowed to be called. In addition, the generals stationed in various parts of the customs also led the green battalion, which was called the military standard; The troops under the command of the governor of the river are called river markers; The troops under the command of the governor of Caoyun are called Caobiao.

The next day, Bao Qibao, who was as timid as a mouse, was afraid of raising the two battalions on the left and right, because of the scorching heat training, he really caused an accident and involved himself, but he didn't even have time to say hello to Luo Bingzhang, so he took the pro-military camp and hurriedly returned to Yueyang.

Bao Qibao left the province in such a hurry, but Luo Bingzhang was startled, thinking that there were bandits in Yueyang, so he hurriedly sent someone to Yueyang to find out the truth. Who knew that Yueyang was quieter than Changsha.

Luo Bingzhang was puzzled for many days.

After Qingde was removed from the flower feather, Luo Bingzhang did not really put him in prison.

Because although the holy decree has the words "dismissal and questioning", according to Luo Bingzhang's many years of experience as an official, this is just a cliché and cannot be taken seriously. Because the imperial court has always been partial to the Manchus, maybe today an order will be severely punished, and Ming'er will suddenly be reinstated. Luo Bingzhang has experienced too much of this kind of thing.

Although Qingde can't be sent to prison, he can't be let go without explanation. What to do? Luo Bingzhang has his own way.

After Xu Youren, Bao Qibao, Taqibu and others left the governor's yamen that day, Luo Bingzhang passed a prefect on duty at the yamen into the signing room, and instructed: "You go to Shouxian and let him vacate a spare house for the governor's yamen." You tell him that the doors and windows should be nailed and shut up. ran away and convicted, and the headquarters tried to question him. ”

The officer asked in a low voice, "Do you always want to imprison Qingde?" ”

Luo Bingzhang nodded and said, "Where is the place where the governor's yamen is concerned?? Go ahead, let the first county hurry up. ”

The official wanted to say in passing: "Isn't it enough to send Qingde Xunming to the governor's yamen?" ”

But as soon as he saw Luo Bingzhang's unfathomable and mysterious appearance, he swallowed his words back and hurriedly took a blue sedan chair to Changsha County.

According to common sense, the capital county of a province is the most embarrassing yamen. Because it is the management of the provincial capital, and the provincial capital is a place where high-ranking officials in a province gather, it is the location of the governor's yamen, cloth, press the yamen, and the yamen of the envoys. In terms of military camps, there are the Admiral's Mansion, the General Military Mansion, and the big tents of various standards, associations, battalions, and floods. In addition to these, there are nearly 100 alternate officials of all sizes in the province alone every year. Wen Da to cloth, press, small to not into the stream, Wu Zeti, town, Xie, Ying, Xun, small to Jiupin additional foreign commission. You have everything, and if you don't take care of anything, you may get yourself in trouble.

According to the Qing Dynasty official system, the first county of a province is a six-grade official. Because Hunan is a province that uses troops, since the early years of Xianfeng, Changsha County has been putting Wupin Zhizhou to act as the county officer.

Now the first county is the top of the five products, from the early years of Xianfeng, less than four years, is the ninth acting.

The first county office is so short and the change is so frequent, which can also be seen how difficult it is to be the first county magistrate.

Knowing that the governor Yamen was going to send Qingde to Shouxian for care, the first county not only did not push three or four, but said three good things in a row.

Shouxian said to the official of the governor's yamen: "Lord Futai refuses to send Qingde to prison, isn't he afraid that Qingde will be wronged?" This is easy to do, the lower officials will now have someone to clean up the signing room, invite Qingde to live in, and assign two more shrewd and capable officials to stay by his old side and serve. Futai should be satisfied this time, right? ”

The poor officer said: "I'm afraid this is not appropriate." Although Qingde can't be put in prison, he is a criminal after all. He lives in a visa room, what should my brother do? ”

Shouxian said very decisively: "The lower official moved to the lobby to run an errand." You should send Qingxietai over now. But there is one thing you should always be careful not to let outsiders know, and it is better to carry him in a sedan chair. The lower officials are afraid that the people of the Changsha Association will come to make trouble! ”

The official suddenly lowered his voice and said, "I heard that the first county has pressed a lot of papers to sue Qingde?" ”

The magistrate pondered for a moment, suddenly sighed, and muttered to himself: "Qingde's Changsha Association, the provincial capital has suffered in the past two years!" (End of chapter)
