In July of the 50th year of Qianlong's reign, the "drama" on the big stage of Daqingguo should not be too lively.

Before the Central Plains gunfire fell, there were already gunfires in Qilu, and then there were killings everywhere along the southeast coast.

For a moment, it made people feel like they were in turmoil.

But Nanyang Prefecture has become "calm".

Wang Jinglong's troops have swept across the southwest Henan and are now busy besieging Xiangyang.

The Qing army in northern Hubei was still very strong.

Although there are only two towns of Green Camp, except Yunyang Town, which is guarding Yichang Town in the Three Gorges Region, the admiral of Huguang also has direct subordinates to the Fifth Camp of Tibbing, which also governs Huangzhou, Hanyang Second Association, and Jingzhou City Guardians.

The strength of the troops is even better than that of a town of green camp.

In addition to the Green Camp troops, there was also an important Qing army in northern Hubei, that is, the Eight Banners stationed in Jingzhou.

As an important town in the Qing Dynasty that governed the vast land of Hu, Jingzhou's Eight Banners were not comparable to those in Heluo Tongguan. At the beginning of Kangxi's pacification of the Three Feudalists, there were about 5,700 first batch of Manchuria, Mongolian and Han Eight Banners soldiers who settled in.

After a hundred years of reproduction and growth, the troops stationed in the Eight Banners in Jingzhou have increased day by day, and there are no less than 7,000 people so far, and there are almost 40,000 families.

If all the Yu Dings are armed, they can pull out tens of thousands of people.

Of course, the lives of the Eight Banners men are very precious. Since the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, in all the wars, whether it was to pacify the Three Feudals or the Junggar, the Qinghai, Mongolia and the Western Regions, the Green Camp was the one who really worked hard.

Although every time the Eight Banners stationed in Beijing would draw troops to attack, and after winning the war, they would turn back with their power, but they were all fooling people.

On the battlefield, the green camps took the lead, and the Eight Banners men set off guns and cannons behind them, especially when they arrived in the Qianlong Dynasty.

The configuration of the Eight Banners and Green Camp soldiers is already a matter of hard work for the men. Most of them are one to ten, or even lower, and they are purely just playing soybeans on the battlefield.

All the errands who work hard are from Green Camp soldiers.

Therefore, Qianlong issued an order to Jingzhou, and the Jingzhou garrison General Xingzhao sent only a thousand flag soldiers to join Huguang Admiral Yu Jinli to go north to quell the rebellion.

As soon as Wang Jinglong took Nanyang, he immediately sent troops to Xiangyang, but he was still one step late.

Yu Jinliang had already arrived in Xiangyang City by water. If he failed to succeed in a strong attack, he would have to confront him across the Han River.

Before the victory or defeat was completely decided on the battlefield of Yunyang - Fukang'an, who received the imperial order of Qianlong, had already moved. The troops in Shaanxi and Hanzhong Town were constantly entering Yunyang, so Meng Can has not completely taken over Muhala until now.

The troops in Wang Jinglong's hands were obviously insufficient to attack Xiangyang, and he could only confront the Qing army across the Han River in Fancheng.

Of course, the Qing army could not enter the north of the Hanjiang River for a while.

In this case, it seems that the Zhao army was about to usher in a strong counterattack from the Qing army after the earliest period of relaxation.

Anyway, the situation in southern Henan and northern Hubei is quite like this.

North of the Han River, Qing army reinforcements were still coming. Although the rugged roads in Yunyang were difficult to walk on, the Qing army in southern Shaanxi was also constantly reinforced Muhala.

It is obvious that the "welfare" at the place where the Zhao army was in rebellion has passed away.

The Qing Dynasty finally came back to its senses after being caught off guard.

Therefore, although Nanyang Prefecture City is still under the control of the Zhao army, some of the wealthy families in the city breathed a sigh of relief because they had seen hope and had a premonition that dawn was approaching.

Even they communicate and contact each other secretly.

In a mansion that covers a considerable area in the west of the city.

"Young Master,..." The handsome servant said to Liu Yu carefully and cautiously.

Furui bent over, he couldn't be careful. The master he served was not good at being a child, he was already gloomy and a little uneasy. Who wouldn't hold a heart when the servants and maids were serving him?

Especially after the incident that happened last year in winter, the person's temperament became even more shady and shady.

That mind, if you don’t talk about others, you can’t even figure out the people you serve since childhood.

Liu Yu looked at the mirror in front of him with calm eyes and the large glass mirror in half of his body, which reflected the scar on his face so clearly.

The servants next to him thought he was upset and angry when he looked at the scar, but no one knew that Liu Yu was actually lamenting the wonder of the scar.

Because of it, he lost the future of the Qing Dynasty. Those with scars on his face could not enter the officialdom no matter how much money he had, he was still a cripple. But because of it, he easily convinced Zhao Jun to be in charge and made him believe his sincerity.

It's really a gain and a loss, extremely mysterious.

Even when you think of your own life experience, you can't escape my words - good fortune is where misfortune is hidden; misfortune is where blessing is to rely on.

It wasn't this scar and lame that ruined my future, it wasn't this scar and lame that completely broke the last family affection, and I still couldn't make up that decision.

"Carry away!"

Without raising his hands or saying anything, Liu Yu just picked his eyes, and Fu Rui knew how to ask people to do things.

Liu Yu sighed again in his heart, leaned his back in the chair, and moved his legs with a little difficulty.

This Furui is very useful.

What a pity!

A maid next to her immediately knelt down and knocked on Liu Yu's leg gently.

As the first-class high-ranking family in Nanyang Prefecture, the Liu family is an absolute family of officials. It started to make a fortune from Liu Yu's great-grandfather and his grandfather, and he was an official from generation to generation.

Especially his grandfather, a second-class Jinshi, and a Shujishi, was not able to stay in the Hanlin Academy. Although it was a great regret, he could enter the Ministry of Revenue and become a doctor in one of the fourteen departments of the Ministry of Revenue and then be released as a prefect, then climbed up to the Taoist platform and inspector, and finally retired from the second-rank Zhili governor. Liu Yu's grandfather's level of official position was as high as that of eight-legged essays.

But unfortunately, his grandfather was buried in peace four years ago. This was also the turning point of the fate of the Liu family. In order to mourn the old man, Liu Yu's father and two uncles returned to Nanyang's home in squat.

It was not until the filial piety period that Liu Yu's two uncles regained their return to the officialdom, but Liu Yu's son continued to stay at home on the grounds of serving his mother.

Yes, even if he is a juren who enters the government, even if he is better than donating an official, he actually has no great future. If he is as lucky and destined as Li Wei, he will never find anyone in a century.

Liu Lin has been in the officialdom for ten years and has only become a 17th-rank magistrate.

In other words, there was a good man holding his head over his head before, even if the old man retreated, he would leave three points behind.

Now that his father Liu Lin has no protective umbrella on his head, it will be difficult to achieve great things if he stays in the officialdom in the future. It is better to go back to his hometown to dig out the family's fortunes.

As a first-class family in Nanyang Prefecture, the Liu family's family is very rich and rich. The land is built on ten thousand acres, as well as many shops, streets, orchards, forest land, ponds, etc. For generations, there is also a grandfather who was a governor. Even if he cut out a piece of meat to make public land for the Liu family, the Liu family's industry can still be imagined.

But as the eldest son, Liu Lin had no idea how much property he could get.

Because compared with him, the eldest son of the Liu family, his mother, the old lady of the Liu family, he prefers his second son who passed the Jinshi exam.

One major reason is that the third son of the Liu family, a concubine who was only one month younger than the second son, passed the Juren exam with Liu Lin, who was more than three years older than him. He later won the imperial examination for the first time in a year and became the first among the three brothers of the Liu family to pass the Jinshi exam.

How can an old lady who has been Ruyi for most of her life resist this tone?

In other words, the second son of the Liu family also passed the Jinshi exam. Even if it was a few years later, the Jinshi was a Jinshi, which made the old lady breathe a lot. Otherwise, it would be really hard to guarantee that there would be no cruel family ethics drama.

Living in such a complex "family environment", Liu Yu naturally had to worry about the production capacity of the home he had obtained.

Of course, all this has nothing to do with Liu Yu. Because his family belongs to him most of the time, most of them do not belong to him.

Although he is the eldest son and grandson of the Liu family, in fact, his living environment is much more difficult than his old man in front of Mrs. Ding.

The old lady of the Liu family is named Ding.

Because Liu Yu's biological mother died early.

When I was born Liu Yu, I fell into the root of my illness. I lay in bed for more than a year, but I still went there.

How can a baby with a biological mother be good in this high-ranking family? Besides, Liu Yu's body has never been very good, which is the root cause of the disease brought about by the womb.

Innately, the elders have lost their expectations.

The imperial examinations in this era were very exhausting and physically. Just Liu Yu’s body, not to mention that he was just as ordinary in his studies, he could not get out of the game even if he had talent. He had the three big words “no future” on his forehead, even if he was the eldest son and grandson, he would at most say that he would be pity for the elders. After a long time, he would no longer love.

Moreover, after Liu Lin died, he did not stop marrying his wife. In fact, he not only married his wife, but also married his second wife, Liu Yu's aunt, who is Liu Yu's mother Wang's sister.

This kind of activity is not uncommon now. In this way, it means that the two families will not be separated from each other; the other is that it also guarantees the interests of the Wang family’s daughter.

But when Liu Yu's aunt gave birth to a son, and was in good health and smart, Liu Yu's situation at home was really embarrassing.

It was during the three years of Wang's filial piety, and the old lady of the Wang family who often asked him, her grandson, had her thoughts gradually changed.

There is no way, this is reality.

In the Liu family's mansion today, there are two powerful people competing for hegemony.

As the pioneer of the big house and the second house, Xiao Wang, who represents the interests of the big house and Zhu, who represents the second house, is a struggle and a "fight".

Pull the hind legs, put the condom, dig a hole and a well, and you can do all kinds of tricks.

As for the third wife, well, it is not the flesh and blood of Mrs. Ding, and she has no practical status within the Liu family. No matter how good the third uncle Liu Yu is, the level of the official position is, even a hundred people cannot catch the old lady's eyes.

Just like the concubines of Jia Min in the Red Chamber, they were all mentioned.

Therefore, although the second wife's cousin's status with her grandmother is not as favored as the big-faced treasure in the Red Chamber, it is not bad. She is the absolute beloved of the old lady, but she has always turned a blind eye to Liu Yu and Jia Huan. It seems that this child is not her grandson at all.

But Liu Yu was born after all, the original wife was born. His status was much stronger than Jia Huan and Jia Cong in the Red Chamber.

Because this is a world where etiquette and law are the way, isn’t it?

However, Liu Yu's "nobleness" is more on the "surface". The third brother of the Huanhuan is supported by his own mother, and Yu Wai - at least there are relatives in the Jia family. First, Aunt Zhao's brother, his uncle Zhao Guoji accompanied him. After Zhao Guoji died, Aunt Zhao's nephew Qian Huai came to follow him as a servant, and was saddled with horses and horses. Qian Huai's parents were in charge of the accounts in the Jia family's treasury. The status was a little lower, but it was definitely useful, right?

Liu Yu is much worse than this, and he has no help now.

His mother's dowry maid and servants had long since disappeared. He had only two servants and two maids around him, and an aunt in charge of the affairs. But there were only these five people, among whom he betrayed the revolution!

"Furi, you said, aren't I good at comparing these young masters?"

He is obviously the most capable person around him, so why should he put his knee on Xiao Wang on his back?
