Yongqi Gege had already come over at this time: "My mother and I are also going to go with us to suppress the bandits, do we have to run a few laps?"

"What do you say?"

Fang Xiaoyu's voice was very light: "Of course!"

"We're women, we're Fujin Gege, and we're not ready to go to the front, so don't we have a little priority?"

Fang Xiaoyu replied: " The pre-war deployment you are very thoughtful, but to the battlefield it is always difficult to avoid arsenic leakage, what we can do is to control the possible arsenic leakage to the minimum, so as to avoid some unnecessary casualties, bandits he doesn't care what your identity is, no matter what kind of Gege county lord or small people, the kidnapper will be kidnapped, and the one who should be killed will also be killed, I believe this point in Tianjin when you have learned, that time is your fate, if you don't meet me in Tianjin, I'm afraid you will either let the traffickers sell to the South Seas, or sell to Africa, this time the risk of bandits is greater than the last time, that is to fight against the banditsIf you can't prove that you have enough self-protection ability, I advise you not to make trouble for me, if you are injured and touched, I have ten heads that are not enough for you to cut off. ”

Yongqi protested: "But isn't my mother the same as you to suppress bandits, why can't I go when she can go?"

"Can you compare with your mother, your mother is not only a big beauty in the Junggar Department, but also has followed the clansmen out hunting since she was a child, she is a strong bow on horseback, the lord of the vulture that shoots down in the air, the general bandits must be difficult for her, and more importantly, the soldiers and healthy women who clean up the battlefield in the house are all taught by her, and I can't command those people. ”

Yongqi Gege's mouth pursed: "I have Xiumei's protection, don't be blind!"

Fang Xiaoyu said angrily: "There aren't many people we use to suppress bandits, but you still want to hold one back, are you embarrassed?"

Yongqi said confidently: "What am I embarrassed about, she was originally my personal bodyguard, and her mission is to protect my personal safety." When he said this, Yongqi Gege was naturally a little lacking in confidence.

"If that's the case, you'd better stay at home and play in the mud, and your men will go with me to suppress the bandits. ”

"If you don't take me to suppress the bandits, I'll talk to my Ama and Eniang......"

As soon as Yongqi Gege's words were finished, Qianlong had already stood up at this time and said happily: " Okay, okay, as for the people who suppress the bandits, you will choose it slowly, the master and the two will not be accompanied, the lord and I have a lot of things to be busy every day, and when the time for the bandits is set, I will tell the lord and me, and I and the two will also go to have a fun, the smoke and dust of the seventeenth road have become more and more rampant over the years, they not only robbed the merchants, seized the official silver of the imperial court, and even robbed the goods of the lord and me several times, but the local government and the local green camp did not fold each other, since you are sure to destroy them, this time the lord and I went to join in the fun, and got their goods back。 ”

Fang Xiaoyu was stunned when he heard this: "Uncle, you also want to join in this fun?"

"Uncle, my goods have also been robbed several times by those bastard bastards, although those goods are not very valuable, but if you don't get those goods back in person, Uncle, I am really unwilling?"

Hearing his words, Fang Xiaoyu had a headache, he didn't know that his uncle was the current Son of Heaven: "If it is for those robbed goods, uncle, you don't need to go with me at all, when we come back from the bandits, you can come to the palace again to claim the goods in your house, and even if you go with us, those goods may not be able to get all the goods back, and many of the goods have already been sold by those mountain bandits." ”

Qianlong smiled: "Aren't you just worried about the safety of the uncle, afraid that the uncle will cause trouble for you, so let's do it, the uncle will honestly follow the prince and princess Shuo and stay behind them, see if you have suppressed the bandits, and when you completely exterminate the bandits, how about we go up and clean up the battlefield?"

"Okay!"

In this regard, Fang Xiaoyu could only nod helplessly and agreed, it's a big deal, when the time comes, he will leave a few more masters to be responsible for the safety of these people.

"Don't worry, Uncle will never take advantage of you, in addition, although your Uncle and I are just a businessman in the capital, I also know a lot of high-ranking officials and dignitaries who can speak well in the court, and it is still very important to say a few words in front of them, if you don't believe it, just ask our Hu Tu Wang, and see if Uncle I am lying. ”

As soon as Qianlong's words came out, Prince Shuo naturally had to help him bring back the lie: "That's that, in the eyes of those people outside, although we are nobles, but in fact, we are all imaginary charts, and on weekdays, we just receive a piece of Taiping silver, eat and drink together, and now those officials outside still put us in their eyes, which is comparable to the weight of Dongfang Lord in front of those people." ”

Qianlong laughed: "Lord Hu Tu, you are too humble, you can recruit a talent like Fang Xiaoyu, that is also your ability, I don't talk nonsense with you, as long as you people cooperate with my nephew to cut out the smoke and dust of the seventeen roads on both sides of the Yellow River, the lord will protect you with a future in front of those people." ”

The Eight Banners Lord in the courtyard was overjoyed when he heard this, this master was making a promise to them, and the old Niu Colu clan immediately said: " Oriental lord, you are right, the smoke and dust of the seventeenth road have become more and more excessive in recent years, they used to just rob businessmen, but now they are getting more and more bold, and they are even eyeing the official salary of our court, and then they don't beat and beat, they really don't know who is the master, who is the slave, since the government below does not command things, let's take action ourselves, our Eight Banners disciples have no other skills, but the ability to wield a knife to cut people is unparalleled in the world, and it was the bow and knife in his hand that laid down this piece of flowers. ”

Qianlong nodded with satisfaction: "Everyone has confidence, I look at everyone's performance, in recent years, the performance of our descendants of the Eight Banners is too bad, erecting eagles and dogs, bullying the good, these things are not less, it is time to rectify them well, in the future, the Qing Dynasty still needs our descendants to inherit, the descendants have no ability, first of all, they left them a mountain of gold, Yinshan also doesn't refer to things, go back and send the young people who have some skills in the family to participate in this crackdown on bandits, if they can make great contributions in the process of suppressing bandits, the court will definitely not hesitate to reward, as for those who have no ability, they don't have to come out and be embarrassed, let them be the Taiping Baylor and Beizi for a lifetime, and live their lives in peace. ”

Speaking of this, he got up while speaking: "Okay, that's it, I won't bother you to choose elite soldiers to suppress bandits, I am still busy, and when the day of sending troops to suppress bandits is set, I will turn around and tell Ye, and Er, let's go." ”

But he walked a few steps and stopped: "By the way, I can't take advantage of you, go back and report the total number of bandits, I will take care of this Fei Ye, and you will find Heer when you go back." ”

"Yes!"

The crowd responded respectfully.

After Qianlong left, Niu Colu and several family masters looked at each other for a while, then coughed, and said to Xiaoyu: "Young Master Fang, there are still a few useless stinky boys in our family, see if you can give them a chance." ”

Fang Xiaoyu smiled bitterly: "Master Niu Colu, we are not going on an outing, we are going to suppress bandits, if we don't do it, we will die, if you don't have any skills, you still don't have other thoughts, if you want to make war achievements, when the bandits are exterminated, I will naturally give them a share of this credit." ”

Several major families were speechless, according to Fang Xiaoyu's method can be regarded as a way to solve the problem, the problem is that with that master, this method will definitely not work, but they can't say it directly: "If you don't make a contribution, take a piece of war for nothing, how embarrassing is this, or you set a charter, assess the disciples in our clan, and let them go if they meet the requirements." ”

Fang Xiaoyu's head suddenly became a little bigger: "But the problem is that the bandits are going to die." ”

The head of the Guerjia clan smiled and said: "Whether they live or die, Fang Xiaoyu, you don't have to worry, we have a nursing home, let them bring some people when the time comes." ”

"Okay, but I have to talk about the ugly words, our bandit team can't be too small, if there are too many people, I'm afraid that people will already get the news when they go out of Beijing, so we can't have too many people in the bandit team, it's best to control it within 100 people." ”

The head of the Guerjia clan agreed: "Okay, that's it, now you talk about the way you choose people." ”

"Let's ride and shoot," Fang Xiaoyu said helplessly: "Although I don't expect these people to go up to help me kill the bandits, but they must at least have a certain ability to protect themselves, but the weapons we use to suppress the bandits this time are mainly bows and crossbows, and the single knife is fearful, this bow and crossbow have to be prepared by yourself, and then practice three-stage shooting in the way I said." ”

"That's fine!"

After several masters discussed, they agreed.

In the end, Fang Xiaoyu selected two children who were passable in riding and archery from one of these Manchu nobles, and let them all equip them with crossbows and let them practice three-stage shooting, but what Fang Xiaoyu didn't expect was that when they set out to suppress the bandits, they found that those Manchu nobles each had several clothed servants and teachings in the house, and these people were all wearing swords and bows, and this person had a total of more than one hundred.

Looking at such a team of bandits, Fang Xiaoyu naturally had a headache, but the matter has come to this point, which is beyond his control.

In fact, it was not just him, even Yongyan was surprised by this: "I said Xiaoyu, we are going to suppress bandits, not to go on an outing, what are you going to do with these second ancestors who eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, their families are all either rich or expensive, if we are injured and touched, we can't eat and walk around?"

"You think I want to, but the problem is that I can't afford to offend these people. ”

"And what are you going to do?"

"What can I do, of course, I will fill them all into the team of cleaning up the battlefield, and after the fact, give them a battle merit. ”

When he said this, Fang Xiaoyu was very helpless.

"That's all there is to it. ”

Yongyan has no way to do this.
