Chapter 648 The good man Lu Qinghou and the disgusting Rakshasa barbarian noble
At the same time, in Daqian capital, news about the Han army's victory in northern Xinjiang really spread.
Not only that, many officials also knew about it.
Soon, news from the border army confirmed to the court that this incident was indeed true.
So at the court meeting that day, all the ministers were talking about it.
"To report to the Queen Mother, there are recent rumors among the people that there is an army called the Han Army in Northern Xinjiang, which defeated the Rakshasa barbarians!"
As one person raised the topic, someone immediately jumped up.
"Humph, Northern Xinjiang? Han Army? I remember that the Han Army was the rebels from Leizhou in the south of the Yangtze River, right??"
The first person to jump out was Zhang Gang, the Minister of Household Affairs. He had a grudge against the Han army for extermination. Everyone was stunned. Some time ago, he submitted a letter to close down the Yanhan Trading Company, saying that it was a trading firm owned by Han thieves and was specially for the Han. Thieves make money and food!
Exactly,
Look,
People are crazy,
Who in this court doesn't know that Yanhan Trading Company is involved with a number of princes and many officials.
The most important thing is that although they are not too clear about the whereabouts of the money earned by Yanhan Trading Company, they also know that most of it has flowed into the royal family.
To be honest, when I see Chinese characters and bite them randomly without even investigating, I am really being driven crazy by the Han thieves in Jiangnan.
All the officials lamented for him in their hearts,
You said,
A good person,
How did this happen?
So the ministers ignored him, but someone stepped forward to ease Zhang Gang's embarrassment.
"To report to the Queen Mother, I actually believe that the Northern Xinjiang Han Army and the Jiangnan Han Army are not the same force. After all, one is at the southernmost edge of the imperial court and the other is at the northernmost edge of the imperial court. How can they be the same force?"
"So I think Lord Zhang Gang was just because his beloved son was killed by Han thieves in the south of the Yangtze River, so he was temporarily agitated, talked nonsense, and wronged all the righteous people in northern Xinjiang."
When everyone listens,
what,
There is another good man here,
This is amazing in the square!
Then they took a look and found out that it was Lu Qinghou, the Minister of War, and they suddenly realized.
After all, Lu Qinghou was a capable minister and a colleague with a good reputation.
It's him,
No surprise, no surprise.
When Zhang Gang heard this, he also glanced at Lu Qinghou gratefully, thanking him for relieving his embarrassment.
Good man!
I heard that Mr. Lu had a son who died suddenly at the age of sixteen.
However, there is another theory that the son stayed in Hualiu at night and was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall. Unexpectedly, he was delicate and frail, so he knelt down all night and died on his knees.
However, this matter was disgraceful to the family, and it was only announced that he had died suddenly.
Otherwise, Lu Shu would not have severely cracked down on the unhealthy trends in the Qinhuai River. Even when he was the minister of the Ministry of War, he wrote many times to rectify the people's livelihood in the capital.
Now that he is speaking for himself, he most likely feels the same way! !
Thinking of this, Zhang Gang's eyes changed when he looked at Lu Qinghou.
This is a person to befriend! !
Soon, other officials expressed their opinions.
Some people said, "Since this Han army is a righteous man, it should be recruited. In this way, the court can not only get an elite army, but also regain part of the lost territory."
Some people agreed: "Yes, we can also use this army as the main force to drive out the Rakshasa barbarians!"
Of course, some people are not optimistic about this matter.
"I think it can be incorporated, but it must be divided. Otherwise, if the army is too strong, it may cause disaster."
Some people also think, "The name of this Han army is the same as the Jiangnan rebels. I think the recruitment can be postponed, but the name of this army must be changed as soon as possible, otherwise this reputation will be taken away by the shameless Han traitors in Jiangnan."
Some people agreed: "That's true. We should try our best to wipe out the Han thieves in Jiangnan now. Otherwise, if we let them take advantage of this strong wind, they may take advantage of the situation and rise up."
For a time, the ministers discussed and discussed, and finally came to the conclusion that the news should be blocked immediately.
This is not to say that people should not spread it, but to publicize that this is a battle for the imperial army to regain northern Xinjiang, and try to remove the word "Han Army" as much as possible.
In this way, it is most beneficial to the court.
As for whether the Han army in northern Xinjiang would agree to, nonsense, let them jump from a poor man to a dragon gate, would they not agree?
Obviously, they have regarded the Han army as a dish on the table.
In their eyes, the army is fake, merit is real, and the 8000 million taels of silver are real.
After recruiting the Han army, they need to fight for the credit and the distribution of silver in private.
So when the Queen Mother asked: "My dear friends, who should I send to recruit the Han army?"
Lu Qinghou immediately came out and said, "I recommend Mr. Zhang, the Minister of Household Affairs!"
The Queen Mother asked: "Zhang Aiqing just regarded the Han army as rebels. Is it feasible to send him there now?"
Lu Qinghou said: "It is precisely because of this that Mr. Zhang should go."
"After all, when the Han army saw that Lord Zhang admitted that they were willing to recruit them, they would naturally turn to the imperial court."
"In this way, the imperial court will have a strong army!"
"Master Zhang, clear up the misunderstanding!!"
"The Han army is also happy!!!"
"Wouldn't it be great to have the best of all three!"
..................
At the same time, Lin Lianjiang, the Han army's interim government in northern Xinjiang, looked very dark.
"You mean those Rakshasa barbarian nobles pour their feces and urine into the drinking water of the people in the city?"
The temporary magistrate nodded, "These Rakshasa barbarian nobles specifically dumped these feces and urine into the water upstream, and they still dumped them in front of the people."
“Let’s not talk about whether the water is clean or not, the people really can’t stand it!”
"And due to the Tianjin-Hong Kong Treaty and the fact that they have the support of the American, Electrical and Powerful Empire, we really can't do anything to them!"
"I sent officers, soldiers and militiamen to stop them, but they dumped them further upstream. They couldn't fight, but couldn't kill. It was really hateful!"
The temporary county magistrate complained that he really had no choice, or the only way he could do it was to use a knife to cut off these garbage dumpers.
However, the current situation cannot be like this!
Lin Lianjiang was curious, "How much feces and urine did they dump to make the water in a river undrinkable?"
The temporary magistrate replied: "There are at least 3000 of these Rakshasa barbarian slaves and so-called servants. Including their livestock, the output of excrement and urine is not ordinary, so..."
The temporary magistrate didn't finish his words, but it was obvious that the water was undrinkable.
At this point, the temporary county magistrate added another sentence, "This thing can pull a lot every day. I wonder when it will end?"
"Is it too difficult to just rely on well water or something?"
Lin Lianjiang thought for a while and said to the temporary county magistrate: "I have a solution. You can go back first. I will definitely solve this matter within half a month."
After the temporary county magistrate left, Lin Lianjiang summoned the captain of the Guards.
"Let me ask you, can this thunderous thunder blow up a cesspit?"
The captain was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes changed when he looked at Lin Lianjiang! !
What do you want to do? ?
