"Is the court going to move the adults to Fujian and Zhejiang or is there anyone in the capital who wants the adults to leave?"

Zuo Qing was shocked. He didn't hear any news about such a big thing. It seemed that the money invested by the Guangdong Association of the Capital and the various departments and government offices had been wasted.

"The court has not decided yet, but someone has made some noise in the capital. Mr. Hong also kindly reminded me to prepare early. If the court really wants to transfer me to Fujian and Zhejiang, the Guangdong stall will only be handed over to later generations."

Li Ruitai was also very sad after saying that. He wanted to make a difference in Guangdong, but his duties were not only not worth a lot of money, but also caused troubles. Although Guangdong's military power was controlled by the two vassals, he, the governor, could not separate the relationship between the blame for the loss of land. Xinhui could also say that it was Shang Fan's business, and the fall of Zengcheng could not be pushed to Shang Fan. After all, the green camp stationed in Zengcheng was the one he recommended, and it was not the troops under the vassals. Those in the capital were afraid that they had seen this and encouraged him to be transferred to Fujian and Zhejiang. Strictly speaking, he was indeed not very competent as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.

Except for Zuo Qing and Hong Shiming, several officials in the department were all military officers of the Green Camp. They were just surprised that the court wanted to change the governor, but they didn't think too much. In the eyes of these warriors, no matter who the court sent to be the governor, they would always ask the green camp generals to help, so everyone's reaction to Li Rutai's transfer to Fujian and Zhejiang was not so strong.

It was related to his interests in Guangdong, but Zuo Qing had to ask anxiously: "Hong Jingluo is who in Beijing wants to come to Guangdong?"

"Um?"

Li Lutai inadvertently glanced at Zuo Qing, picked up the tea bowl and sipped it lightly, "What can be come is nothing more than the eight major Han army leaders. Guangzhou has set up a garrison general, and the court will never send another important official from Manzhou to the governor of Guangdong."

Eight major members of the Han army?

Zuo Qing was stunned. He was from Wuzhou, Guangxi. He served as the prefect of Huizhou in the Ming Dynasty before surrendering to the Qing Dynasty. After surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, he served as the prefect of Zhaoqing for several months, then went to Chaozhou to serve as the military preparations, and then went to Guangzhou to serve as the commander of the Cong. Therefore, he has been in Guangdong in recent years, and the personnel affairs of the capital are not very clear. He is even more unheard of the eight masters of the Han army.

Li Lutai was too lazy to explain to Zuo Qing which eight masters of the Han army were. He only tapped his fingers on the table and frowned, obviously thinking about what Hong Chengchou meant to remind him.

Li Guibao wanted to tell Zuo Qing which eight Han army members were. But when his master didn't say it, he didn't mention it. The other military officers were all from the green camp, so how could they know the matter about the eight Han army members in Beijing? They were as curious as Zuo Qing.

Hong Shiming knew about the Eight Great Masters of the Han Army. Seeing Zuo Qing’s face was confused, no one explained it to him, thinking that this man had been very respectful to him before. Everyone in the capital knew about the Eight Great Masters of the Han Army in the capital, which was not a secret matter, so he decided to sell his favor to Zuo Qing and said to him with a smile: "Lord Zuo doesn't know. The Eight Great Masters of the Han Army said that the Eight Great Masters of the Han Army were famous among the Eight Great Banners of our dynasty. The Governor was the Li family of the Eight Great Masters of the Han Army. The other seven families were Shang, Geng, Tong, Shi, Zu, Cai, and Wang."

When Hong Shiming spoke, Li Rutai looked at him. Xuan smiled slightly and let him explain his doubts for Zuo Qing and others.

After Hong Shiming said this, Zuo Qing suddenly realized: "The Shang family and Geng family are the two families of King Pingnan and King Jingnan. The Tong family should refer to the family of the father-in-law Tong Guogong, but they don't know which four families are the Shi, Zu, Cai, and Wang?"

Hong Shiming nodded, Shang, the Geng family did refer to the King of Pingnan Shang Kexi and King of Jingnan Geng Jimao. The Tong family also refers to the descendants of Tong Yangzheng, and the Tong family is now headed by Tong Tulai, the first-class country.

"The Shi family said that Gushan Ezhen is now the Shitingzhu Shi family who is the General Zhenhai." After saying that, Hong Shiming drank a little, picked up the tea bowl and drank it.

Li Guibao interrupted: "General Zhenhai and my master were with Long in his early years, but the old general's family was named Guarjia. He only changed his surname to the Han army flag because he entered the Han army flag, so he was named Shi. The third son of the old general, Shi Huashan, married Prince Yu Duoduo, and was appointed as the son-in-law of Heshuo, and his other son Shi Lin is now the admiral of Shaanxi."

No wonder the Shi family was able to join the eight major forces of the Han army. The first surrender of Shi Tingzhu to the Later Jin Dynasty was enough for the Shi family to show off, and there was also a hero-shuo prince and a Shaanxi admiral.

Everyone thought so, but Li Shutai shook his head secretly. The Shi family's status today was not due to Shi Tingzhu's early years of obedience to the dragon, nor his two sons, but to Shi Tingzhu's great contribution to persuade Zu Dashou in Daling River. If it weren't for Shi Tingzhu, these eight families would probably have been missing two or three.

Hong Shiming continued: "The Zu family refers to Zu Dashou's family, but Zu Dashou has never served in office since he returned to the Qing Dynasty. The reason why he listed his Zu family as the Eight Great Masters was because of the King of Pingxi and Zu Dashou a cadre."

It's not time for Hong Shiming to explain too much. Everyone knows that Wu Sangui of Pingxi was Zu Dashou's nephew. The generals who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in Dalinghe and Jinzhou were now mostly in important positions. For example, Zhang Cunren, the deputy general of Zu Dashou, served as the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, the Minister of War, the governor of the three provinces of Zhili, and Zu Dashou's three sons also held important positions in the banner. With such a close relationship, Wu Sangui, the nephew, was unreasonable.

The last two families of the Eight Great Masters, Cai Shiying's family and Sichuan Admiral Wang Shixuan's family respectively.

Cai Shiying was the Qing Dynasty who surrendered to the same place as the master Dashou in Jinzhou. After surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, he was under the jurisdiction of the Zhengbai Banner of the Han Army. In the first year of Shunzhi, he followed the Qing army to Houguan and led his troops to fight against the bandits. Later, he was promoted to Fujian. He was awarded the title of Assistant Censor and was promoted to the right deputy Censor. In the sixth year of Shunzhi, the general in charge of the Eight Banners' red-robed general, went to Shanxi to conquer Jiang Guan, and Xu was awarded the position of Ashihanihafan. In the ninth year of Shunzhi, he was ordered to governor Jiangxi, and in the twelfth year of Shunzhi, he was promoted to the Governor of the Grain Transportation and was appointed as the Minister of War.

The last family, Wang Shixuan, the head of the Wang family, was the only one in the eight families with the least qualifications but was promoted to the eight families with military achievements. He became the deputy general of the Ming army in his early years. In the second year of Chongzhen, the Qing army surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and was appointed as the general of the Han army, and was under the command of the Zhenghong Banner of the Han army.

After surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, Wang Shixuan, as the vanguard, participated almost all the wars before and after the Qing army entered the pass. He first followed Huang Taiji, Abatai and Haoge three times, and then followed Korea to conquer Korea, and even participated in the Songshan War. He was awarded the third-class viscount and served as the commander of the Han army's Zhenghong Banner and the Inlaid Red Banner. In the second year of Shunzhi, Wang Shixuan followed the Qing army to pursue Li Zicheng to Tongguan, and followed Dorgon to conquer Jiangnan, defeated Yangzhou, Songjiang, Hangzhou, Jiaxing, and Huzhou. After fighting all the way, he was full of blood from the Han people. In the sixth year of Shunzhi, he followed Ajige to attack Jiang Guan and recovered Datong and Fenzhou. He is still serving as the commander of the Han army's Zhenghong and Inlaid Red Banners, and his children also have important positions in the army.

After explaining the prominent family background of the eight Han army officials to Zuo Qing and others in one go, Hong Shiming said sadly: "In fact, if King Dingnan had not died in Guilin in battle, there would definitely be a Kong family in the eight families."

Hearing this, Li Rutai chuckled and said, "If we really count it, the Hong family may not be inferior to the Eight Great Masters. In addition, the Fan family (Fan Wencheng), the Ma family (Ma Degong), and the Liu family (Liu Liangchen); Zuo Menggeng of the Zhenghuang Banner, Xia Chengde of the Zhengbai Banner, Yiyonggui, Sun Degong, Ning Wanwo of the Zhenghong Banner, Bao Chengxian, Li Guoying, Zhao Yihe of the Red Banner, Meng Qiaofang of the Zhenglan Banner, Gan Yingxiang of the Zhenglan Banner, Zhang Shiyan of the Zhenglan Banner, Zhang Cunren, Liu Guangbi, and Batai of the Bai Banner, which of these families did not make great contributions to our Qing Dynasty. The so-called Eight Great Masters of the Han Army are just idlers of the Han Army Banner in Beijing and praised them. My Li family has never dared to regard themselves as the Eight Great Masters."

The "Qing heroes" who did not want to use so many pens to list these Han military flags, for fear that readers would feel like they would fill the number of words, but they could not list them, so they were really angry!
