Chapter 951 Westbound Road
"Master, Yin Tai is here." Zhao Zhong said softly and carefully. After a while, a sound of back in the car: "Let him come in." Zhao Zhong responded quickly, and after a while, Yin Tai got on the car under Zhao Zhong's guidance.
"Slave Yin Tai, please pay tribute to your master..."
After entering the car, Yin Tai knelt down and kowtowed. Prince Yong, who was sitting in the car, put down the memorial in his hand, looked up at Yin Tai and then said lightly: "Get up, sit down and talk."
"Thank you, my master..." Yin Tai naturally didn't dare to sit directly in the palace, but the current situation was different in the palace. They were in the car driver, and the car driver continued to move forward, shaking all the way. It was impossible for people to stand firm except sitting cross-legged.
He leaned out of the car curtain, Yin Tai sat cross-legged and said, "According to the master's wishes, Lanzhou has been arranged and the city defenses in various places have been redone."
Prince Yong nodded and said with great difficulty. This time he left Guanzhong, Gansu was the key to the restructuring of the Qing Dynasty in the future. Lanzhou, as the capital of Gansu, was naturally the foothold of Prince Yong and the Qing court.
Compared with Guanzhong, Gansu has its benefits in addition to being located in the northwest. Gansu is now large enough. During the Kangxi period, Gansu did not only have the area of later generations. In fact, according to administrative divisions, Gansu now includes Gansu, Qinghai, Xinjiang and some areas of later generations, and its area is more than twice that of later generations.
In addition, Emperor Jianxing sent troops to fight westward, and the Qing Dynasty expanded its territory in the Western Regions, and the land occupied is now temporarily under the jurisdiction of Gansu. Therefore, Yin Tai, the former governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, had long become the governor of Gansu, and his focus was moved to Gansu.
Speaking of Yin Tai, this person was an old minister of the Kang Dynasty. He made great contributions in the rebellion of Wang Zhiqing. When the Qing court moved west to Guanzhong, Yin Tai was also a serious official of the Qing court. Unfortunately, Emperor Jianxing was both timid and defensive to him. In addition, after the Qing court moved to Xi'an, in order to prevent him as the local governor, he directly assigned the power of Shaanxi to the central government.
Logically speaking, it is normal for Jianxing to do this. After all, the imperial city is located and its rule is very different from other places. Just like Zhili around Beijing, everyone who served as the governor of Zhili is the most trusted person the emperor trusts, and is even the head of the governor of the world.
When the Qing court moved to Xi'an, the entire Shaanxi naturally became a similar position to Zhili. In addition, Yin Tai was in Shaanxi for many years, in order to ensure the safety of the Qing court in Guanzhong, it was inevitable that Yin Tai's rights were weakened.
In this way, Yin Tai did not stay in Guanzhong for long, and was soon sent to Lanzhou by Jianxing. Later, because Jianxing sent troops to the Western Regions, he even took advantage of this opportunity to seize the military power in Yin Tai. In the end, Yin Tai almost became a complete logistics officer, raising supplies for the Qing army westward and stabilizing the rear.
So over the years, Yin Tai has not lived well. Although his nominal status is still the same, his power has actually been much smaller. In addition, Yue Zhongqi then surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Jianxing severely scolded Yin Tai when he was angry. After all, Yin Tai was Yue Zhongqi's old boss, and Yue Zhongqi's emergence was recommended by Yin Tai. If someone had not advised him, and Yin Tai was cautious and low-key as an official and his identity as a bannerman, he would have probably taken away his official position and imprisoned him.
"How about Lao Shi?" After hearing Yin Tai's resettlement in Lanzhou, Prince Yong expressed his satisfaction. The reason why he was confident to launch a coup was that Yin Tai's surrender was one of the important reasons. As the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, Yin Tai was not favored by Jianxing in the past two years, but Yin Tai had a great influence in the northwest. With his support, Prince Yong had the courage to make the decision to continue moving westward.
"Prince Guo is far away in Dihua. A few days ago, he fought a battle with the troops of Junggar Khan. Prince Guo killed more than a thousand enemies and captured countless prisoners. Now he has driven the forces of Simon to the southwest."
"Is the Junggar Khan now Cewang Alabutan?" asked Prince Yong.
"The master Shengming is this person."
Prince Yong nodded and thought for a while and said, "It seems that this Lao Shi had underestimated him before. Since the court moved westward, Lao Eighth sent Lao Shi to the Western Regions, which is known and good at responsibilities. Lao Shi is also able to fight well. From the west of the army to the present, he has fought many wars in the west, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he can destroy countless countries. Now he can still fight Cewang Alabutan withdrew his troops. This is surprising, which was something that the late emperor did not do during the Western Expedition."
Prince Yong said this, Yin Tai sat there and did not answer, but looked at the nose and the heart. Prince Guo was a hard-core brother of Jianxing, which everyone in the world knew, but the master in front of him was their mortal enemy. As for Prince Shang Yong, he was a gloomy and not very arrogant. If he got up at this time, it would be inappropriate, so Yin Tai simply said nothing.
But without saying it, Yin Tai admitted in his heart that Prince Yong's words were justified. As Prince Yong said, no one expected that this 10 fools back then would have the ability to lead the army. You must know that if the princes of Kangxi had to say that there were only three people who knew the soldiers, they would be the eldest prince who followed Kangxi to fight and served as a vanguard in his youth, and the Thirteenth and Fourteenth princes.
But the things in this world are so strange. Let’s not mention them for now. If it weren’t for him that he had not completely wiped out the rebels in Jiangnan, the world would not have reached this point. As for the two of them, they had all had heavy troops to fight, but from the perspective of their achievements, neither the Thirteenth nor the Fourteenth Prince, they are as good as the Tenth Prince, who is now, Prince Guo.
"Old Shi still does what he told before. He fights well, which is not a bad thing for the Qing Dynasty. Now that the Qing Dynasty is like now, we must work together and work together. Lao Shi has done a good job over the years. If he can restrain his temper and be loyal to the king's affairs, it would be a good thing."
Prince Yong changed his mind and said this. At this time, Yin Tai could not pretend to be deaf and could only claim to be wise. However, he knew very well that once Prince Guo knew something happened to Jianxing, how could he give up? What Prince Yong said was impossible, otherwise Prince Guo would not be Prince Guo.
"Is there any movement in Ortai?" Prince Yong asked again.
"Ortai seems to know a little. Some of the troops have been transferred to Gansu a few days ago, but the arrangements have not been completed in Shanxi, so he doesn't know how he will be a slave next." Yin Tai said the truth.
Prince Yong nodded and sighed, "Ortai is a smart man. You should understand the difficulties of the court. Let's do this, go and discuss with Zhang Tingyu and Ma Qi and draw an order for him. You can decide what the specific meaning is. Shanxi is not a place to guard for a long time. As long as he does what the court wants, he will not lose."
"I understand, I will do it now." Yin Tai nodded repeatedly, then kowtowed to Prince Yong, and prepared to get off the car.
At this time, Prince Yong seemed to remember something. When Yin Tai was about to get off the car, he suddenly said, "Geng'er made a mistake, it was his own fault. However, as soon as he made this matter, there was a shortage of personnel in the study room. When you are employed, you will talk to Zhang Tingyu and Ma Qi, and you will say from today that you will be the one who Geng'er's work in the study room. Remember! Do it well!"
