yes…"
The generals responded again.
"General Zhennan, what happens next..." a voice asked.
"I think we will follow Fifth Brother's method and let some people out to see the situation first. As long as there is not much unrest in the city, we can let some more people out. After all, our food is indeed limited." Niu Hulu Fu Mori gave the order.
"Prefect You, I will send someone to the slums in the east of the city for you later to capture some people and take them out! Anyway, every time the rebels attack the city, they are the ones who make trouble."
"Yes..." You Shouren didn't dare to shirk any intention, so he could only reply.
What Niu Hulu Fu Sen said is indeed reasonable.
You Shouren has long heard that in the previous cities that were captured by the rebels, every time the rebels attacked the city, the people in the slums in the city would take the lead in rioting and assist the rebels in the attack.
Maybe it would be a good thing to let those restless people out of the city now.
"Okay, this matter is settled..." Niu Hulu Fu Sen waved his hand and gave the order.
"Is there any adult who is willing to take the initiative to accompany Magistrate You, please come forward."
There is definitely nothing to gain from arresting people in the slums, so the generals present looked at each other and kept silent to each other.
When Niu Hulu Fu Sen saw this, he didn't know what was going on. He could only shake his head helplessly in his heart, then looked at Zhu Yu, the commander-in-chief of Xuzhou, and said: "Master Zhu, Xuzhou is under your jurisdiction, why not How about you send troops there?"
"Yes..." Seeing Niu Hulu Fu Sen speak, Zhu Yu could only stand up and respond even if he was unwilling.
Although Niu Hulu and Fu Sen were said to be light-hearted, Zhu Yu understood very well that the next work would definitely be difficult to do. After all, those people in the slums were always difficult to catch up with.
Even in normal times, it would be difficult for the imperial court to drive them away unless they mobilized heavy troops to cause some outrage. At this time, the rebels were surrounding the city, but Zhu Yu really didn't want to do this, lest he would be remembered by the rebels.
"No, I have to ask the guys below to take it easy when I get back, don't go too far, and put the blame on the Manchu people as much as possible. In fact, they were the ones who gave the order." Zhu Yu thought secretly in his heart. .
"Okay, let's discuss other things..."
…
Naturally, Qianlong didn't know about Niu Hulu and Fu Sen's troubles. He was also having a headache at the moment.
Although the rebels came up with a good solution, it did not lose the face of the court. But people in the world are not all fools. After a long time, they can naturally see the fishiness in it.
In Qianlong's mind, he Aixinjueluo Hongli wanted to become an emperor like the "Holy Ancestor" Kangxi.
Whether it is capturing Obei, tying San Francisco, conquering Taiwan or defeating Galdan, it must be a "real" achievement.
He Aixinjueluo. The reason why Hongli became the emperor was more because of the care of him by the "Holy Ancestor" Kangxi. If it hadn't been for the "Holy Lord" Kangxi who recognized him as the future emperor at a glance when he was thirteen, his father might not have been able to become the emperor.
But now, he wants to divide the Qing Dynasty to compromise with the rebels. Every time he thought of Emperor Kangxi's regard for him, this really made Qianlong feel unhappy.
I think what the late Emperor Yongzheng left to him was great rivers and mountains and a full treasury. But now, why is it like this?
Qianlong was very troubled...
Therefore, after Niu Hulu and Fu Sen's memorial was submitted, Qianlong hesitated. He put the memorial away irritably, and did not even look at the harem sign for several nights.
It was not until Gansu's urgent military message came again that Qianlong, who was full of anger, had to slam down the desk and ordered several high-ranking ministers in the court to come to discuss Niu Hulu and Fu Sen's memorial.
…
"What do you, dear friends, think of the memorial submitted by Fu Sen?" Qianlong asked after passing the memorial submitted by Niu Hulu and Fu Sen to several important ministers below to read it.
"Back to the emperor, I think Master Fu's method is very good. Now that the imperial court is constantly fighting, it is a blessing for our army to be able to temporarily maintain peace with the rebels in the southeast." At this moment, Shu Mulu, who is the minister of the Ministry of War, Shu Hed was the first to answer.
"I agree with the words of Lord Shu, Minister of the Ministry of War." Niu Hulu, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, agreed.
"Nowadays, the imperial court's expenses are too great. There are wars in various places, and the tax revenue for the imperial court cannot be guaranteed. If the imperial court can stop the war in the southeast, it can save a lot of expenses."
"Laibao, what do you think?" After hearing what the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household said, Qianlong turned to Xitara Laibao, the prince's tutor, a bachelor of Wuyingdian and the minister of military aircraft, and asked.
"I think that what Mr. Fu Sen said can indeed be considered. Now the imperial court is not pacifying the rebels in the southeast, but if it only wants to pacify them and ignores the unrest in other places, it will be really disadvantageous for the imperial court. Therefore, It will be much easier to maintain the status quo with them for the time being. After the imperial court has pacified other places, it will be much easier to devote all the country's efforts to pacify the rebels in the southeast." At this time, the old man Xitala Laibao, who was approaching eighty-two years old, was thinking about it. After some time he said slowly.
"After all, the territory of our country, the Qing Dynasty, is so large, and it has formed a tendency to surround the rebels. Therefore, the future war situation is really beneficial to our country, the Qing Dynasty."
"Hmm... keep talking." Qianlong seemed to be moved by Xita Laibao's words, making him involuntarily nod his head.
"Other people say that it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge, and the same is true for the imperial court. The biggest problem of our imperial court now is that there are too many wars and too many fronts, which will cause the imperial army to be excessively wasted, which is very disadvantageous. Only by using other Once the localities are stabilized, and we use the food and salary from these localities to support heavy troops to encircle and suppress the rebels, we will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." Xitala Laibao, who was recognized by Qianlong, continued.
"I wonder if His Majesty the Emperor still remembers what happened in the previous Ming Dynasty?"
"What are you referring to?" Qianlong asked doubtfully.
"During the Chongzhen period, the reason why the Ming Dynasty was defeated was not only due to natural disasters, but more importantly, the war on multiple fronts. If they had really signed a peace agreement with Emperor Taizong, allowing them to free up their hands to pacify the internal rebels, maybe My Qing Dynasty is still outside the customs." Xitala Laibao said slowly while observing the words and expressions.
"However, it was the multi-front fighting that constantly consumed the strength of the Ming court that made such a behemoth as the Ming court fall, allowing us to live in the Qing Dynasty. As the old saying goes: Use copper as a mirror to correct your clothes; use people as a mirror , we can know the gains and losses; we can know the ups and downs by taking history as a mirror. Therefore, we must be vigilant about the affairs of the Ming court."
