Chapter 91 General Shi Lang
"Emperor," Xiong Cilu, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, quickly came out of the class and said, "Those are all deceptive lies, and they are all deceitful."
Emperor Kangxi couldn't help frowning when he looked at this Confucian minister who was usually very good at speaking great principles. What's wrong with this "Hanlin Academy Storyteller"? He could tell all the Three Kingdoms, why did he refuse to say it when he came to Tianxiaweigong and Yuan Ru? Yuan Ru didn't understand what Yuan Ru meant, but Tianxiaweigong was from the Book of Rites, so why didn't Xiong Cilu know? Did he keep his mind talking about the Three Kingdoms during this period and he couldn't talk about the big principles?
"Xiong Cilu," Kangxi frowned and asked, "What basis do you have to say that they are lying people? What if they were not lying people, but really wanted the world to be the public, to return to the Confucianism and Taoism, and to be the original Confucianism?"
Yes, what is the basis for you, Xiong Cilu, to say that the third prince Zhu and his son are cheating?
Everyone in Nan Study room turned their gloating eyes to Xiong Cilu, who had always been wise.
Because everyone knows that this "the world is for the public" and this "original Confucian scholar" are very dangerous issues for the bachelor's degree in the Hanlin Academy!
"What the emperor taught is that I am too arbitrary." Xiong Cilu had a good attitude towards admitting his mistakes and immediately knelt down to Emperor Kangxi again, but he would not really discuss with Kangxi about "the world is for the public" and "the retro Confucianism and Taoism". Of course, he knew what the third prince Zhu and his son were doing, but for him, a Han Confucian minister, these two were topics that might cause him to lose his head!
You must kick the "ball" out cleanly, even if it is kicked away!
So he continued: "But I really don't believe that the third prince Zhu and his son would really make the world a public. As for the retro Confucianism and Taoism, it is even more nonsense. What is retro? So how to retro?
I think that the third prince Zhu and his son just think that there are not many people who have rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restored Ming Dynasty, so I did this, which is really not worthy of trust or worrying about."
Then he changed his subject, "The most urgent task now is to send troops quickly, select good generals, advance water and land, and directly attack the thief's nest!"
Emperor Kangxi frowned and raised his hand: "Let's flat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xiong Cilu breathed a sigh of relief and immediately stood up and retreated aside.
Kangxi turned his attention to Xue Zhang, the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and said, "Shi Shin!"
"I am here!" Xue Zhang quickly stepped out of the line and knelt down to salute Emperor Kangxi.
"You are the former prefect of Chaozhou. Should you know which Confucian scholars are in Chaozhou?"
"I know a little bit about it." In fact, Xue Zhang didn't know at all. Chaozhou Confucian scholars speak Chaozhou dialect, and he couldn't understand it at all.
Kangxi said, "Then you go to Guangdong and touch the foundations of these original scholars for me." He paused, "I will give you an admiral of the academic affairs!"
Xue Zhang really won the prize! He has only been a Hanlin sergeant for a few days, so he mentioned learning Taoism. If this continues, it will not take too long for the Ministry of Education to be bound by the territory.
Xue Zhang thanked the emperor for his kindness, while Kangxi turned his attention to Tuhai, the chief grand secretary of Manchu.
"Emperor," Tu Hai, like Xiong Cilu, was unwilling to talk about "the world is for the public" and "the original Confucian retro", but recommended a good general to Kangxi. "Justice Xiong mentioned that water and land are advanced together, and I also think it makes sense, but the navy in Guangdong and Fujian provinces is too weak, and it is probably difficult to take on the important task of advancing troops on the water and suppressing thieves.
Therefore, I want to recommend a good general to the emperor. As long as the emperor uses him to rectify the Fujian Navy, it will be enough to suppress the third prince of Zhu and the second thieves of Zheng Jing!"
"Who is he?" Kangxi asked.
"Former Fujian Navy Admiral and current Minister of Interior Shi Lang!"
"Shi Lang" Emperor Kangxi frowned slightly when he thought of this person.
The official position Shi Lang is currently serving as an Interior Minister. From a first-rank official, he looks quite a big shot, but in fact he is a useless person. He works every day to watch the gate from Taihe Gate.
It turned out that the Qing Dynasty's Inner Minister was actually the officer in charge of the guards' personal army in the Guards' Office. It seemed very important to be the guardian of the emperor, but the number of this Inner Minister was a bit too large. There were a total of six Inner Ministers, two of the three Inner Ministers of the Eight Banners, including two of the Inner Princess, the Inner Princess, the Inner Princess, and two of the Inner Princesses.
In other words, there are twelve ministers in a small guard office! And the guards under the control of these ten ministers have only a total of more than 500 people, and one of them is in charge of more than 40 guards on average.
Shi Lang was also a slave to the Han army in the Yellow Banner Banner, and was not the "Chen Han Army", but the New Han Army with shallow qualifications.
Therefore, among the twelve ministers in the guard office, Shi Lang will always be the bottom!
Not to mention that other ministers didn't buy his account, even the guards below didn't take him seriously. The guards who were slightly higher-level were either from Manchu powerful or very old-fashioned Chen Hanjun, such as Deng Zhong, who had brushed the toilet for Dorgon.
The strangest thing is that there is a girl named Kong Sizhen. When Shi Lang was the Minister of Interior, he opened the back door and entered the guard office, and directly became a guard for the first time!
When Shi Lang, the inner minister, had to kneel down and kowtow to call himself a slave when he saw her, the male superior had to kneel down and kowtow to call himself a slave when he saw a female subordinate. Who has ever seen this in the workplace?
What made Shi Lang even more depressed was that he had no money to make, and Shi Lang was a corrupt official! After he conquered Taiwan in history, he greedied two-thirds of Taiwan's fertile land, and even enclosed Taiwan's islands as his own manor, collecting "Shi Hou's big rent" every year and receiving it until the Sino-Japanese War of 1895!
But he can't be greedy in the guards' office now, and it is impossible for him to eat empty quotas and drink soldiers' blood from the guards' personal army.
No matter how confused the emperor is, he can always figure out how many guards will protect him? Moreover, most of the guards have backstages, so Shi Lang can detain them? And they will not give gifts to Shi Lang. There are eleven guards and ministers on Shi Lang!
In fact, those guards who were not very interested in paying attention to him were not willing to pay attention to him. He was a "Hu Jianren" and spoke Minnan dialect. Other guards were either old Northeast or new Beijing, and they spoke Beijing movies or Northeast dialects. The dialogue between the two sides was just a chicken and a duck talk, how hard it was!
Emperor Kangxi was unwilling to talk to Shi Lang too much, but he was a diligent and wise ruler, so he read Shi Lang's "Yijing Commentary on Border Explorations" and "The Memorial on Everything You See". These two memorials talk about how to deal with the remnants of the Ming Dynasty forces in the Yanping Palace!
Shi Lang means to fight and to deal with it with force as soon as possible. Shi Lang also believes that the Yanping Palace is a paper tiger. Because the Yanping Palace has too few populations and is unable to support the army, the entire army is less than 20,000, and the warships of all sizes are less than 20,000.
As long as the court can trust him, Shi Lang and let him train 20,000 naval masters, he can pacify the Yanping Palace in one fell swoop!
This is much better than a coastal migration that is stupid enough to kill a hundred enemies and lose more than three thousand.
However, when these two memorials were submitted, Obai was still in power. Obai didn’t believe in Shi Lang at all. It was not that he didn’t believe in Shi Lang’s suggestions, but that he didn’t believe in Shi Lang’s person!
Shi Lang is the four ministers!
He was originally a minister of the Ming Dynasty, and then followed Zheng Zhilong to join the Qing Dynasty. Later, he was unsatisfied with the Qing Dynasty and then defected to Zheng Chenggong. Later, he had a quarrel with Zheng Chenggong and the Qing Dynasty. He turned against each other three times back and forth. Who knows if there will be a fourth time?
Moreover, Shi Lang also wants to go to Fujian to train 20,000 soldiers, all of them are Fujian soldiers!
The Eight Banners couldn't even understand what they said, and they couldn't play water battles. Of course, they couldn't lead the troops, so they could only lead Shi Lang's hometown, and they could do 20,000 yuan at one time!
Geng Jimao is such a loyal slave, with only three thousand flag troops and six thousand green camps, and a total of nine thousand troops!
If Obai could make Shi Lang, the four ministers, so big, he would have had a brain in his mind.
However, the current situation is completely different from when Oboi controlled the government because there is no Oboi and no Murima anymore!
There was also a special attacking grandson Zhu San, who not only achieved a great victory in Jieyang, but also brought up the Zheng family army and Qiu family army, who were not good at fighting land wars, and seized the three counties of the Qing Dynasty.
Emperor Kangxi could not find a general who could win Zhu San Taisun's Eight Banners for a time. If there were no famous generals of Oboi and Murima to control the formation, he would rashly send out the ace Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers at the bottom of the box. Once he failed, Wu Sangui and other Han people or the heads of the Han Eight Banners who held heavy troops would really rebel!
In this case, the Qing court could only win by volume and get more Green Camp soldiers, send fewer Eight Banners soldiers, and use the Eight Banners to harness the Green Camp to consume the troops of the Zhu family and Zheng family.
In original history, Kangxi used this trick when dealing with the Three Feudal Rebellion.
Since we want to win by quantity, Shi Lang, who is capable of pulling up an army in Fujian, will of course have value.
There is no need to be too much cannon fodder!
