Chapter 221: Qianlong's Concerns
When Qianlong and He Shen took Wang Zhen and a few internal guards to meet with Prince Shuo and other cadres, they did not see Fang Xiaoyu, Fang Shiyu, Bai Mei, Han Wuniang and other cadres, Qianlong was very surprised by this, Qianlong was even more asked Prince Shuo: "Didn't you say that you went to suppress the bandits together, why didn't you see those boys of the Fang family, should they have retreated when they heard that the bandits were fierce?"
There was nothing to hide from Prince Shuo: "Xiaoyu and Baimei have already set off two hours ago. β
"They're already on their way?"
Prince Shuo explained: "That kid Xiaoyu said that the most important thing in war is intelligence, and only according to the movement of the enemy's situation can we make perfect tactical deployments. β
Before Qianlong could speak, He Shen had already interjected on the side and said, "Do you believe this reason, Lord Wang?"
"What do you mean, you have to tell the prince what I mean, with the fat man?"
"I still need to say this," He Shen said with a smile: "Lord Wang, you have said that the most important thing in war is intelligence, but if you look at such a large wave of people like you, the old and the old, the small, the chickens and the dogs, there are two hundred people, and there are two hundred people in such a huge team, and those who don't know think that a large group of masters go to the suburbs to hunt and go on outings." β
Hearing what He Shen said, Qianlong also felt that the team of bandits was too large: "I said Uncle Huang, what He Er said is good, your team of bandits is too large, can't it be streamlined, according to your method, I am afraid that as soon as your team of bandits leaves the capital, the news has already been obtained from the Yanchen side of the 17th Road." β
Hearing Qianlong's words, Prince Shuo was also helpless in his heart, didn't he know that the team of bandits was too large and too mixed, but the problem was that everyone was basically acquaintances who looked up and didn't look down, and there were inextricable in-laws between various families, plus it was your old man's operation, which attracted the old men of the Eight Banners who were all in a panic in the capital to stuff their descendants to themselves, and in the end, some old people even stuffed themselves together, do you say that this bandit team can not be mixed, to put it bluntly, these people just want to take advantage of this golden opportunity to rub the heat in front of your old man, brush up on the sense of existence, and want to attract your attentionγ But although he thought so in his heart, he couldn't say that, he had to carry the pot, such a big pot, you can't let the emperor carry it himself, this is not the way to be loyal to the king, not to mention that if he said it truthfully, it would be a big offend, but Prince Shuo's reaction was not slow, and he quickly found his explanation:" I don't know, although our young generation of Eight Banners is a little unbearable, most of them can only eat, drink and have fun, but those old people are different, among them, there are many people who are born in the army, skilled in swords and horses, many of them are old people who have followed the Holy Ancestor Emperor Ping San Domain, conquered Geerdan, and fought Tibet, although some people are this age, but the sword and horse kung fu have not been left behind, that is all the masters who can wield knives and cut people, and it must be no problem to deal with ordinary bandits, not to mention that they must have brought out the caretakers and clothed slaves who can fight at homeγ β
Qianlong was skeptical about this: "Although the words are good, the question is how to keep them secret?"
"Since we can't keep it secret, then just don't keep it secret, how can we publicize it, let's publicize it, with the strength of our people, why not be afraid of those bandits, it is best to transfer them out of the bandits' den, if it really can't be done, let's push it sideways." β
He Shen couldn't help but ask, "Are these people really capable of fighting?"
Prince Shuo's mouth pursed: "Why don't I call someone out for you to try." β
Hearing Prince Shuo's words, He Shen was shocked in his heart, although he had been a minister of the guard, and he also had a very good skill, but he really didn't dare to do anything with these, these people were all masters who dared to use knives and dare to cut people: "Lord Wang, you are laughing, how dare the slaves do it with these Beizi and Baylor." β
"If you don't dare, you will shut up with me, otherwise I will let the old Niu Colu clan clean you up. β
He Shen simply shut up.
Although he is a celebrity in front of Qianlong, the old Niu Colu clan is their head of the family, and he really can't afford to offend.
"Okay, okay, Uncle Huang, don't be like Heer, since you have to go to suppress bandits, then go, you let those people take care of the people in their own clan, I don't expect them to make much effort in the process of suppressing bandits this time, as long as you don't block me up, it's nothing, then let's go, Heer, let's take a car." β
Half an hour later, this cadre went out of the capital in a mighty way, Qianlong and He Shen sat on a car in the middle, looking at the mighty bandit team in front of him, Qianlong was a little worried, he didn't have the confidence to expect these old soldiers to be able to wipe out the smoke and dust of the seventeenth road, the smoke and dust of the seventeenth road is not an ordinary bandit, but a real bandit, they not only robbed the passing merchants, but even the silver salary of the imperial court has been robbed several times, and even the government has sent troops to clean it up many times, but it is also in vain:" I said Heer, you should say something, what does that kid from the Fang family mean, he won't leave us and run away to suppress the bandits by himself, right?"
"You are smart," He Shen said with a smile: " What is the virtue of our young people of the Eight Banners generation, you have not heard of it, if you talk about eating, drinking and having fun, they are naturally all experts, if it is said to be a knife to cut people, how many people do you think among them can use a knife and open a hard bow, this situation even you know it for a long time in the deep palace, not to mention filial piety, and more importantly, although our descendants of the Eight Banners are not very good, but behind each of them there must be a force, bringing these people to suppress bandits is simply thankless, if people are okay, it is easy to say, but in case of which one is injuredIf you change to a minion, I don't dare to take them to suppress the bandits. β
Qianlong sighed: "So I said that I caused trouble for them?"
"How can it be a mess," He Shen would never admit it even if he thought so in his heart:" Our Eight Banners disciples are becoming more and more disagreeable, especially after Geerdan was exterminated, our Eight Banners disciples all herded sheep, and they relied on the green camp to support it in the inside and out, the older generation is good to say, but this new generation can all herd sheep, and only know how to listen to music and watch dramas all day long, set up eagles and dogs and bully men and women, how many of these people still remember the glory of their ancestors, they can carry knives, and they can carry guns, if these people are not properly rectified, how can they be expected to support the country that their ancestors have beaten down in the future, in order to ensure the safety of these old soldiers, your old man has even used the elite of the Great Interior, It's a pity that Xiaoyu's kid doesn't know your hard work, if he knows, he will definitely change his strategy. β
Qianlong nodded: "Go back and let our guards pay attention, be hidden, don't expose your identity, I still expect these old soldiers to be able to transfer the bandits in the mountains, I hope that those mountain bandits can be lured out of the bandits' den, if Fang Xiaoyu's kid is allowed to grab the lead, there may not be light on the faces of our people." β
He Shen smiled and said: "You can rest assured, those slaves have dogs and Bai Boss staring at them, they must not be able to make a mistake, and we Eight Banners are a little unbearable, but some of them are coated slaves in their families, and they take care of the home, although many of those old people are old, but they are all old people who have fought with the Holy Ancestor Emperor, and the kung fu on the knife and horse is very good. The nursing homes were all sent out, and some people went into battle shirtless, in order to give their descendants a bright future, like the Guarjia clan, Niu Co Lu, and the head of the Duoguo Luo clan all went out in person, although these people are old, but their sword and horse kung fu have not been left behind. β
"That's true," Qianlong nodded when he heard this, but he then asked: "You said that our strength is so strong, will it scare the bandits back?"
He Shen replied: "Let's let those second ancestors take out their own factions in the capital, so that they can be as arrogant as they can be, and as unbearable as they are, the slaves don't believe it, so those bandits can still endure it." β
"Okay, just do as you say. β
"Actually, you will leave the matter of suppressing bandits to the slaves, and I will be with the foolish prince, so why do you have to come out on this trip?"
Qianlong said angrily: " Do you think that I am idle and have nothing to panic, you look at our descendants of the Eight Banners, in addition to the well-being of your family's Yin De and Fu Yuan's family, in fact, it is basically mud that can't support the wall, and my Uncle Wang is becoming more and more restless, now our Eight Banners elite, he controls the Three Banners alone, and now he is still jealous of the emperor, and he doesn't dare to act rashly, but in case you and the emperor are not there one day, I don't know who else in the current dynasty can control my fourteen emperor uncle, now I just want to leave a few more talents for my sonγ β
He Shen said worriedly: "Our imperial uncle is indeed a material for governing the country, his cultural and martial arts are definitely not under you, and there are definitely not many people who can fight against him in the current dynasty, or you transfer Master E back, he is enough to suppress our fourteenth imperial uncle." β
Qianlong directly interrupted him: "Master E has his own reason in Hangzhou for his own reason in Hangzhou, so don't beat his idea." β
He Shen smiled bitterly: "If that's the case, I really can't think of anyone else in the current court who can fight against our imperial uncle?"
"You don't have to worry, although our imperial uncle is good, he is not without flaws," Qianlong said with a smile: "Hasn't he been staring at Fang Long for the past few years, and wants to get Fang Long, but in the end, he didn't let our third brother put it on the table, and he spent so much money and energy in vain to get some empty shells, I heard that my imperial uncle has thrown nearly two million taels of silver into it, and in order to raise silver, he even abandoned the Lei family that he supported with one hand." β
He Shen also smiled and said: "That's no way, who would have thought that our righteous brother would suddenly be in danger, and would forcibly take away the semicolon shop in the hands of those clan uncles, empty the assets, and publicly dismantle the semicolon shop, if our imperial uncle doesn't make a move, I'm afraid that he won't even be able to drink the soup, but it's a pity that our third brother can't become an official because of Zu Xun, otherwise he can control Prince Rong with his ability." β
Qianlong said angrily: "Isn't what you said all nonsense?"
"It's a bit of nonsense," He Shen said with a smile, "But I found that Xiaoyu is also a good material, as long as it is honed, it will definitely be able to take charge in the future." β
Qianlong nodded: "Xiaoyu is indeed a talent, but the problem is Han, and the ancestral training of the Fang family is that the children of the Fang family are not allowed to become officials." β
He Shen nodded: "That's a problem. βγ
"It's a bit early to say this, and the most important thing right now is to fight the battle against the bandits. β
"Your Majesty, what you said is true!"
