In the official system of the Qing Dynasty, the admiral was in charge of the green battalion of a province, and was controlled by the governor and governor. It's just that this is the subordinate relationship in the peaceful and prosperous times. In the troubled times, power grows out of the barrel of a gun, and whoever has soldiers in his hands is the boss.
Li Kexiu is also capable. In just a few years, he beat the Green Camp in the south of the Qing Dynasty like an iron bucket. He only listened to his orders and completely emptied the governor and governor. Under the protection of the government, all forces are aware of who is the real master of this fertile land.
In fact, those people in the Manchu Qing court were not fools. It was impossible for Li Kexiu, a Han Chinese, to dominate his family so easily. In addition to the green battalion composed of Li Kexiu's Han Chinese, there was another army stationed in the Jianghuai area, all of which were the Eight Banners. Composed of children, responsible for field battles and surveillance of the Jiangnan Green Camp.
Back then, the Eight Banners soldiers were indeed brave and good at fighting. Even the most elite Guanning iron cavalry of the Ming Dynasty could only rely on the defense of the city wall in field battles to win a tie. It's a pity that after entering the customs, the Eight Banners' disciples degenerated very quickly. Not to mention the strong army in the past, these Eight Banners' disciples may not have a few skills in riding and archery now.
And Yangzhou is famous for selling gold, and there are many brothels and brothels. Over the years, the Eight Banners garrison here has degraded even more alarmingly. How can there be any fighting power
Therefore, in the eyes of discerning people, Li Kexiu has become the actual power holder in Jianghuai.
"Japanese pirates and pirates have been rampant along the coast recently, Lord Li is now in the army to suppress bandits." Liangjiang Governor Malji replied, his tone seemed rather strange, apparently even he himself did not quite believe his words.
"Suppression of bandits?" Song Qingshu's expression was half a smile, this Li Kexiu knew that he had become a favorite in the eyes of various forces, no matter who they were, he could not afford to offend them, so he used this reason to avoid seeing her, Simply not to offend anyone, it touches a brilliant move.
"The marshal has been exhausted all the way, and the subordinate officials have set up a banquet at the Daotai Yamen in Huaiyang to welcome the marshal. There is also a distinguished guest there, and the marshal must be able to hit it off with him." Malji made a gesture of invitation.
"Honored guest?" Song Qingshu really became interested, but no matter how side-splitting he was, Malji always smiled and said nothing.
Looking at the scene of this group of people marching into the city gate of Yangzhou, a woman in a teahouse not far away couldn't help but spit: "What a big battle! Daddy, these dog officials are really snobbish!" Now, when we came to Yangzhou, we were greeted by a mere chief envoy and the prefect of Yangzhou!"
The two wore bamboo hats and coir raincoats, and were dressed as woodcutters, but the voice of the person who spoke was clear and melodious, and the contrast was extremely strange.
Although only a part of the chin is exposed under the bamboo hat, it is as smooth as jade, which is not possessed by ordinary peasant girls, not to mention her slender and straight legs are even more eye-catching. Which peasant girl has such a slim and moving figure
Now that all forces in Yangzhou City are pouring in, there is already an undercurrent. For the sake of safety, everyone has an attitude of sweeping the snow before the door. Even if someone nearby sees the abnormality of the father and daughter, who will be reckless? Run to dismantle them
"Xian'er, I can't blame these officials. I, Daliao, and Jin are feuds. I have fought several times with the Qing Dynasty in these years. It would be enough if they didn't arrest us and put us in jail. How could they entertain us with all their heart? What's more, this time it was Li Kexiu's meticulous attention to detail. Choose the power to rely on in the future, our Liao Kingdom is no longer what it used to be, and now it is difficult to protect ourselves, and we are far away from Jianghuai, how can Li Kexiu like us?" When he was young, he should have been a very attractive and handsome man, but now, for some reason, his face is expressionless when he speaks, which adds a bit of weirdness to him.
From the conversation between the two, it can be seen that they are envoys sent by the Liao Kingdom this time. The girl is an old acquaintance of Song Qingshu, Yelu Nanxian, the number one master of the younger generation of the Liao Kingdom, and the middle-aged man is her father, Yelu, the envoy of the Southern Privy Council of the Liao Kingdom B Xin.
"Since we are destined to be unable to win over Li Kexiu, why bother to travel all the way to this muddy water?" Yelu Nanxian asked with a frown.
"Although we can't win over Li Kexiu, we can try to make him seek refuge with a force that is more in line with the interests of our Liao Kingdom." Yelu Yixin replied, and at the same time secretly thinking, the more important thing is to get that thing...
When Song Qingshu came to the Daotai yamen of Huaiyang, he saw the middle-aged man with a wretched smile on his face, he couldn't help laughing secretly, he was not only a nobleman, but also an old acquaintance.
"Oh, Suo'etu met Mr. Tang Kuo." The smiling middle-aged man was Suo'etu who Song Qingshu had worked with in the Manchu Qing court.
"So it's Mr. Suoxiang, I've admired him for a long time." Song Qingshu responded enthusiastically while making complaints. He didn't know how his wretched appearance gave birth to a daughter as delicate and lovely as Wu Yunzhu. Could it be that his neighbor's surname is Wang?
Now that Dongfang Muxue is in Yanjing City, although they are gradually supporting their own team, this is not something that can be accomplished overnight. The Shehri family where Suo'etu belongs is huge. One of the political ministers, his status is still higher than that of Obai.
In addition, in the process of eliminating Oboi, Suo'etu also made great efforts, so Kangxi promoted him vigorously. His promotion speed over the years is like riding a rocket.
After Song Qingshu and Dongfang Muxue took charge of the Forbidden City, they still made great use of Suo'etu and others, firstly to appease their family, secondly, they were indeed capable, and the operation of the entire country depended on them in many areas.
As they grew older, Sony and other veterans retreated behind the scenes. Now the most popular people in the Manchu and Qing courts are Suo'etu and the jewels of the Nalan family.
It’s fine to be called that by the officials in Yanjing City, but now the number one person in the Jin Kingdom Chaotang actually calls him that, Suo’etu just feels as if he has eaten ginseng fruit, all the 36,000 pores on his body are comfortable, and his eyes are smiling He narrowed his eyes and said, "Marshal, you are welcome, please come inside, please come inside!"
"So please!" Song Qingshu was socializing, but his heart was in a hurry. He made it clear that he was here to win over Li Kexiu, but the governor of Liangjiang arranged me to be with Suo'etu.
After all, the Kingdom of Jin and the Kingdom of Qing are countries of brothers, so it's not easy for him to poach under Suo'etu's nose, right? With Suo'etu, the Yangzhou party of the envoy of Jin Kingdom is probably doomed to be fruitless.
Of course, Song Qingshu didn't come here to recruit Li Kexiu for the Kingdom of Jin. Now that he has this layer of cover, it's easy to explain why he returned to Daxing Mansion without success. Right in the middle of my arms.
