Liu Shaoqing's hands were moving rapidly, and the medicinal wine gradually penetrated into Jianning's skin as he rubbed it, and the pain gradually eased. Bao Zhilin's golden sign was indeed not a false reputation. When Liu Shaoqing finally stopped, the redness and swelling on Jianning's right wrist had dissipated a lot, and it turned out that the pain was already very faint.

Jianning pulled his little hand back from Liu Shaoqing's palm and tried to move it for a while. He felt that there was no problem. Then he nodded to Liu Shaoqing: "Thank you for your hard work."

Liu Shaoqing quickly saluted and said, "It was the Wei minister who protected the princess and injured the princess. The Wei minister deserves to die." In fact, in Liu Shaoqing's heart, he was very grateful to Jianning at this time. Of course, he also knew what consequences would be if Jianning was injured here if it was spread. This seemingly naughty girl could decisively let her heal her injuries and help him keep the secret under such circumstances, which greatly improved Liu Shaoqing's sense of Jianning.

After hearing Liu Shaoqing's apology, Jianning waved his hand disapprovingly. "This was caused by my princess accidentally, so you can't blame you. But in this case, I'm afraid I can't come to you to shoot a gun in the near future. You can send my princess back home."

"Yeah!"

Liu Shaoqing sent Jianning to the camp gate. Before getting on the carriage, Jianning turned to Liu Shaoqing and said, "Three months later, the emperor will select the soldiers in the Jingying camp to compete with your newly trained soldiers. This time, I am optimistic about you and are ready to bet on you. You must train well, don't let me embarrass you."

Liu Shaoqing smiled slightly and said, "I must do my best."

Jianning nodded, then put down the curtain of the car. The guard who was rushing to the carriage shouted, and the carriage slowly drove away. Looking at the carriage gradually moving away, Liu Shaoqing thought about Jianning's words, and then ordered: "Tell me the order, all teams should step up the training, and in three days, the basic movements of the assessment queue will be conducted!"

"Yeah!"

Not to mention that Liu Shaoqing's order in the military camp became chaotic, Dan Shuo Jianning returned to the royal palace without stopping and was about to secretly return to his embroidery building, but he saw Prince Chun Yihuan waiting for her there.

"Jianning greets Ama." Seeing his father's face was not kind, Jianning quickly pretended to be obedient and went forward to pay his respects.

"Where did you go crazy again? You're only back now?"

Jianning's eyes rolled and then said, "If you go back to Ama, Jianning has gone to Nanyuan Camp before."

Yihuan frowned: "What are you doing when you are a girl's house?"

Jianning said: "I saw that the emperor brother was worried about the military training and couldn't eat or sleep because of this military training. He was worried, so he went to the camp to remind Liu Shaoqing and urged him to practice troops well."

As he was talking, King Chun Fujin Nara also came to see her precious daughter. It was so good to hear her say, "The emperor's brother is so worried about the military training that he can't eat and sleep." He suddenly became anxious.

Zai Tian is the blood of the Nara family's relatives. Since he was brought into the palace, Nara family has been worried about his son for the day and night, fearing that his son would suffer a little grievance if he left his mother. Now, when he heard that his son was not thinking about food and food due to the military training, he immediately cried and said to Yihuan: "Prince, what should I do? Come and think of a solution!"

Yihuan knew that his concubine was good at everything, but as soon as she was involved in her beloved son who was the emperor, she immediately became a different person and ignored anything. She hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, why are you crying? I will naturally assist the emperor in doing this. Don't be greedy." Then she glared at Jianning, "Why don't you help your mother in and rest quickly, and don't gossip here."

Jianning lowered his head and made a face, quickly ran to Nara to coax his mother to come. Then the mother and daughter snuggled into the room. Yihuan called the nanny who was in charge of the business and ordered: "Look at the princess during this period, don't let her run around anymore." Then he turned around and left.

After returning to the study, Yihuan sat at the desk and thought quietly. Zai Tian had been angry in front of all the princes and ministers of Manchu and supported Liu Shaoqing. There was no doubt that this move was also putting himself on the fire. As the commander of the Shenji Camp, Yihuan should let him know that the Beijing Camp had already rotten to his bones, and he also knew the interests and complex relationships between the eight banners of the Manchu, Meng and Han army in the capital. His precious son did not touch the interests of several people this time, but a whole class.

Those who originally rely on various departments of the Beijing camp to make merits, money and interests will definitely rebound this time, but the emperor is now in a righteous manner, and some of the vested interests - such as Bonayan Moju, Fuchahar, etc., have also seen that it may not be of no benefit to them after successful training. Therefore, the situation in the entire Beijing is still under control. But if Liu Shaoqing fails to train troops, there will be no new power battle. The situation in the court that has finally stabilized will inevitably be turbulent again, and the emperor's control of military power will definitely be greatly affected, and it may even be undermined again.

"Why……"

Yihuan sighed. The concubine was right, and she had to find a way as soon as possible.

"Come!"

With Yi Huan's call, an eunuch in charge of the royal palace bowed forward, "I'm here."

Yihuan looked at him and then said, "Instruct Dong Haichuan to screen out 30 strong guards from the royal guards' personal army, and immediately go to the Nanyuan New Army camp to find Liu Shaoqing and ask him to participate in his New Army training."

"Yeah!"

"I will send a message to Prince Li's Mansion, Prince Gong's Mansion, Prince Su's Mansion, and Prince Dun's Mansion. I will go and visit each one. In addition, I will call Baohai."

The eunuch didn't raise his head, and after agreeing, he turned around and left.

Soon, Baohai came over hurriedly. "Slave Baohai, pay homage to the prince for a thousand years."

Yihuan looked up at the person recommended by the emperor to him, and then said, "Baohai, you search for news in the market on weekdays. Do you know what changes have occurred in Beijing in the past two days?"

Baohai was the nimble little man Zai Tian met in the teahouse. At this time, because of the emperor's appreciation, he had already turned into a phoenix, entered the Zongli Yamen to serve as a servant, and became a disciple of Prince Chun's mansion. At this time, when he heard the prince's question, and combined with the rumors he had heard in the past few days, he immediately understood what the prince wanted to know.

"Reply to the prince's words. There are indeed some rumors in the capital these days. First, some people are talking about the emperor being confused by the treacherous villains, appointing jesters, and abandoning military operations; second, some people are dissatisfied with the emperor's salary for the Shenji camp."

Yihuan frowned. He knew that such things would always happen. Those who were touched with interests could not just stop. Now it is just the beginning. If Liu Shaoqing really fails, it will be truly a flood of mountain torrents and unstoppable.

"Is there any way?"

Baohai said: "About the emperor's suspension of the salary from Shenji Camp, the slaves have arranged for people to refute in the market. After all, the emperor did not fail to give them the opportunity. As long as they train as usual, the salary will naturally be restored. Moreover, in the ancestral system, the master naturally has the right to deprive the money and food of those slaves who cannot go into battle, so this is not difficult."

The Eight Banners system was a social organizational form of farming and war formally established by Nurhaci in the 43rd year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1615). Because the early Manchus understood land as public goods like rivers, forests, and even air, and sunshine. Therefore, after the establishment of the Later Jin Dynasty, Nurhaci combined the Eight Banners system and distributed the land equally to the people of the Eight Banners according to the head. These lands became the source of economic resources for the Eight Banners children in the future.

However, any monarch's equalization measures have subtext, that is, the party who is granted land needs to bear the obligation to support the monarch. When the Eight Banners were first established, the military and civilians were united, and all the people were soldiers. All Manchurian members were under the Eight Banners of Manchuria. The organization of the banner has many functions such as military, administrative and production.

Before entering the pass, the Eight Banners soldiers were engaged in production labor in normal times. During the war, they were conquered by Hege, and they prepared their own weapons, grain and grass. After entering the pass, they established the Eight Banners' permanent army system and military pay system, and the Eight Banners soldiers became professional soldiers.

After the Eight Banners' children became professional soldiers, they mainly assumed military obligations for combat. Their original land was distributed uniformly by the government to tenants in the form of leasing, and then collected taxes and grains, and then distributed to each person step by step by step by step by step by step by step by step by step. This is commonly known as the "hard-core crops".

From this we can see that the "hard-core crops" of the bannermen were not obtained out of thin air. They must also fulfill their obligations, that is, to fight in the army. Although the Qing Dynasty basically no longer uses flag soldiers to fight, in fact, flag soldiers cannot assume the task of combat at all, this does not mean that the emperor gave up the right to restrain his subjects in his hands.

That's why Baohai said that it is natural for the emperor to stop the food and salary of Shenji Camp.

For the emperor, the bannermen were the pillars of maintaining imperial power, and they enjoyed various preferential treatments, but the conditions were that the Manchus must maintain their military ability to be fierce and good at fighting.

In fact, in order to maintain the military status of the bannermen, the Qing Dynasty even made many mandatory provisions on the bannermen in law. For example, the bannermen were not allowed to engage in agriculture, work, or business, and could only "read and practice martial arts", and could only read books designated by the emperor when reading; in order to maintain the habit of bannermen riding horses, it was particularly stipulated that the bannermen were not allowed to sit in sedan chairs; and even wrote a special letter to the King of Korea that was not allowed to prepare sedan chairs to welcome the ministers of Manchu like the envoys of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, the imperial court also conducts "hunting" activities at Chengde Summer Resort every year. The purpose is to assess and ensure the martial spirit of Manchus. All civil and military officials who participated in Manchu and Mongolian civil and military must compete for archery, and those who fail the qualification will be fined and dismissed.

In fact, Yihuan was not very worried about this. The "ancestral system" mentioned by Baohai is only one aspect. The Eight Banners children have the obligation to join the army. If you fail to fulfill your obligations, you can naturally stop your money and food. But this is not important. What is important is that those who have stopped their money and food are mostly small people with poor backgrounds or even no backgrounds - those with deep backgrounds have been prepared and have hired people long ago. So they can complain in the teahouse and not cause much storm.

What Yi Huan is really worried about is the first item.

"Is there any way?"

Baohai said with a bitter face: "Reply to the prince's words. I have been thinking about this for the past few days. I have arranged people to promote the achievements of the Black Flag Army and Liu Shaoqing in Guangnan, and have also arranged people to contact the French, hoping to find some basis from them that can explain Liu Shaoqing's ability. But..."

Yihuan still agrees with Baohai's approach. Although this person has been hiding among the market before, his mind is indeed very flexible. He knows that by establishing Liu Shaoqing's ability, he proves that the emperor has not used anything inhumane. At this time, he was hesitant in Baohai's dialect, so he asked: "Your method is very good, what's the problem?"

Baohai smiled bitterly and said, "The reason why the slave is in a difficult situation is that Liu Shaoqing is too young. Even if the slave can find a basis for proving his ability to command troops, should those people believe it or not. So..."

Yihuan nodded: "I understand, so the key is to see if Liu Pifu can finally train his troops. If he succeeds in training, then all the rumors will be self-defeating. If they fail..."

Yihuan knew that if Liu Shaoqing was successful this time and he was really successful in training, then the throne of Zai Tian, ​​who could control a powerful army, would naturally become extremely stable. No matter what he promoted in the future, with this army as a backing, he would naturally be invincible.

On the contrary, if Liu Shaoqing was just a fame and could not train troops. Then not only would the emperor find it difficult to control military power, but other political trends in the court would also change. At that time, those little people who were originally insignificant and could only complain a little will be used as a bargaining weight to attack the emperor. Although the emperor was the emperor in the end, the rights in his hands would not be compared.

But these words cannot be said to Baohai. "You go and do your business. You must hurry up to Liu Shaoqing's momentum. In any case, you must first make Liu Shaoqing's reputation."

"Yeah!" Baohai responded, then kowtowed and left.

After sending Baohai away, the previous supervisor came back to report that the carriage was ready and asked the prince if he would go to several other royal palaces now?

Yihuan stood up and said she would go immediately. At the same time, she ordered the maid who served to change her clothes. When she stepped onto the carriage, Yihuan thought to herself, "I can only do my best. The key now is still the one who is the little man. If it really doesn't work, I can only abandon the soldiers and protect the general and give up the man."

It was already late at night when I got off the carriage when I got back from several royal palaces. However, Yihuan saw Dong Haichuan waiting outside the door.

"Didn't you let you go to the military camp? Why are you still here?"

Dong Haichuan knelt down on one knee and said, "If you go back to the prince, the young man had already taken people to the Nanyuan camp before, but Liu Shaoqing said that the rules of the military camp can only be entered by those who have passed the assessment a few days ago. The young man has passed the time now, it is too late and it is not in line with the rules, so the young man will not be allowed to enter the camp."

Yihuan was furious when he heard this, "Bastard, don't he know why I arranged for you to go there? When is it now, are you still taking care of your own face?"

When Dong Haichuan saw the prince angry, he hurriedly said, "The young man Liu Shaoqing also saw him. In addition to rejecting the young man's entry into the camp, he also asked the young man to come back and bring a word to the prince."

Yihuan: "What?"

Dong Haichuan said: "Liu Shaoqing said that he knew the prince's intentions, and he asked the prince to rest assured that he would never let the emperor down. As for the prince, if he really wanted to support him, he would also ask the prince to allocate some silver and food. After all, the soldiers must be full before they can train."

Yihuan frowned, "That's what he said?"

Dong Haichuan hurriedly said: "I dare not talk nonsense. Every word here is Liu Shaoqing's original words."

"Nothing! Something that is not high or thick!" Yihuan stroked his sleeves angrily, turned around and entered the study.
