Chapter 78 Spring Festival Feast
Weng Tonghe, Xu Gengshen and Sun Yuwen went to the Education Office to support the imperial edict for education affairs. After all, Xu Sun and the other two made mistakes. It was okay that Old Man Weng had more things and cried was inevitable. Kou Liancai, who announced the imperial edict, was very difficult. After I knew it, I had to meet Old Man Weng and explained to him how important education is. It was impossible to do it without him. Moreover, many Hanlins in the Education Office also had his disciples, and they were all for the state. In the end, he finally went to the Education Office to take up his post after I promised him to enter the Xianliang Temple after he died.
After finishing this business, the Chinese New Year was about to come, so I ordered Zaifeng to invite the two old concubines of the old Prince Chunxian to the palace. First, to swear the emperor's filial piety and compassion, and second, Zaifeng is getting older two years old, and I gradually have major things to do for him. Zaifeng and Zaifeng are not at home, and the two old concubines have fewer people to pay their respects, as if they are short of something.
Zaifeng was older, and his original mansion seemed to have a mistress missing. But when asked about him, he always said that he followed the emperor's arrangements. I also mentioned Youlan several times. He seemed to be completely forgotten and didn't care. I secretly wondered, is it really a young man who forgot his nature?
Several generals from Liaodong came first. General Changshun of Jilin, General Yiketang of Heilongjiang, General Yulu of Shengjing, General Zuo Baogui of Shengjing and others came together, and the four of them handed over signs to ask for a visit. I met the four generals in the newly built study room over Yuqing Palace.
The original Yangxin Palace Study Room was about to be re-used as an office, so I ordered someone to build a large study room in Yuqing Palace, and made world maps, sand tables and other things. The place was a bit spacious, and I have been doing more here recently.
The four of them had seen the ceremony, so I ordered someone to give you a seat and tea, and said, "This year, the country is in a great funeral, and I have not yet gone to Liaodong to worship my ancestors. When the spring is coming next year, I will go there. First, to worship my ancestors, and second, to see your military. Now the Russians are aggressive. You must practice the new firearms assigned to you. All the new firearms assigned to you in advance have been carefully practiced. I will have great uses in the future, and North Korea has been quite unstable recently, and I am very worried."
"The master is worried about the humiliation of his ministers and makes the emperor worry about it. It is the slaves who are incompetent, but please rest assured that the slaves must take good care of the Liaodong soldiers and armor, so that the emperor will not worry about it!" Yu Lu, the general of Shengjing, who is the highest among the four, knelt down and said.
I nodded and smiled, "At up, I am also gossiping you, so that you can have a worrying mind. Don't always make the right pattern. I have been in this pattern all year round, and I am so depressed. Let's talk about military affairs today. I will say whatever I should say. I have been thinking about these things for a long time. Liaodong is the fundamental place of our dynasty. The north is the strong Russia and the south is the weakest foreign country, so the burden on your shoulders is not light."
Yulu bowed again and was about to kneel down. I laughed and shook my head and said, "Yulu, don't be too reserved. I have summoned you to talk about military affairs and civil affairs. Didn't you ask you to kowtow? There are fewer people who kowtow to me every day?"
Yulu Haoran smiled and said, "Master, be kind, but we servants dare not forget etiquette."
I laughed and said, "I told you not to do this... Okay, things in North Korea have changed recently, and Russians in the north are eyeing each other. Do you have any ideas?"
"Reply to the emperor's words." Yu Lu bowed and said, "I have thought about this in private. I didn't say anything. It's just a fight, a general comes to block the water and soil. It has already taken such a big advantage for the Russians. If I lose again, there is no need for the emperor to punish me. The slave has cut off his head by himself."
"Well, this is determination. With this kind of heart, you have loyalty. But as soldiers, you are generals with strong soldiers. Just being loyal is not enough, you must be brave and wise. I want to say, when marching and fighting, don't just think about guarding. How big can guarding be? Yiketang, you guard Heilongjiang, where the gateway of Liaodong is located. I believe you have a strategy to guard it." I paused and said, "If something happens in North Korea, Yulu, you lead tens of thousands of troops in Liaodong, what should you do?"
Yu Lu stood up and said with his chest straight: "But there is a war, I am willing to personally raise a military horse to serve the emperor!"
I laughed, this guy was so cute and clapped his hands and said, "Okay, your courage must be well-trained. Okay, let's talk about this today. I just want to knock on you. The country has evil neighbors, and you can't relax your combat preparations for a moment!"
The three of them bowed to the promise, and I shook my hand and said, "Now is a good time. The New Year is about to be celebrated, and I don't want to say anything more. Yiketang, I heard that you have many disputes with the Russians?"
"Reply to the emperor." Yiketang A owed his body and replied, "It's not a big deal. It's not a big deal. It's the Oroqen tribe of the Eight Banners of the Butha Eight Banners in Humana, and the hunters of the Hezhe tribe had a dispute with the Russians while fishing and hunting, killing several old men. We also suffered injuries. Oroqen Zuo led the old man Yu in the chest. Fortunately, he was wearing thick clothes and saved in time. The Russians refused to rely on him and insisted that his slaves arrested the old man Yu to the Russians to capture the old man Yu.
I was paying my life, and I was also on the fire that day, and slapped their translator twice in the face and told them to get out. Before we asked them to have a murderer, Yu's daughter contacted the young hunters from Xing'anling to avenge their father, touched the river and killed a few old Russian soldiers, and the matter became a big deal. While restraining the owner of the Butha Eight Banners, while appeased the Oroqen tribe, and carrying it with the Russians, there was nothing big mistake."
I listened carefully, imagined the general geographical location, and looked on the map. These Oroqen people, Hezhe, were really brave enough. They crossed Songhua River in the dark and killed a few sentries. It was really OK. After hearing Yiketanga finished speaking, he looked up and smiled, "This girl is amazing, she is brave and has to be good at it. It's hard for these hunters. I want to reward her! Well, and you, Yiketanga, you did a good job in this matter. I didn't just tolerate it, nor did you make things too big. I also want to reward you. However, you must beware of the Russians' revenge. If you are not here during this period, how can you do the border affairs?"
"Reply to the emperor's words." Yiketang bowed and said, "The general under the slave command is good. When the slave is away, he asked him to take office on the border and strictly prevent the Russians from causing trouble. Before leaving, he also restrained the fishermen and hunters on the riverside. Be careful and wait until the slave returns." After replying, he paused and said, "The slave first felt that he had caused trouble for the emperor. Now the emperor is very content not to blame the slave, and he dare not ask for rewards again. But Huo Jin'er, I heard that he might cause trouble for the slave, and he must follow him to Beijing as a slave to apologize to the emperor."
"Absurd!" I smiled and scolded, "You treat me as a tyrant monarch? Well, I won't reward you this time. I want to see that fire gold one another day!"
Needless to say, the Spring Festival is not too much. By the third year of the Chinese New Year, there were nearly 200 provincial officials, including the governors, generals and admirals from various provinces. In addition, the second-rank or above officials in Beijing, the princes and belles gathered together, which crowded the huge Ganqing Palace into a bustling bustling. The eunuchs Sulas sent vegetables and tea back and forth, and the hall seemed busy.
