Chapter 205: Want to kill the chicken and respect the monkey!
Pala... Another excellent gold-painted tea set hit the floor. Apart from leaving tea stains all over the floor, it did not make Ruan Wenyue feel much better.
"Don't calm down, you will be angry like this." Ruan Bao, who had just stepped into the hall, shook his head helplessly, but he still had to bite the bullet and persuade Ruan Wenyue.
"Stop the anger, how can I calm down! I have known for a long time that the two bastards sent by Qianlong are not good things. Look at the pier outside the city, the Qing army camp now has three or four thousand more than the six thousand soldiers of the Qing Dynasty."
"Father, those people are just some refugee beggars. What can he do if he attracts more? Besides, they have no weapons and no ammunition. Could it be that they can't let those guys go to the battlefield with wooden sticks?"
After hearing this, Ruan Wenyue seemed to feel a little better. She sat on the couch, and the trembling maids and eunuchs rushed forward to clean up the stains on the ground, and brought tea to Ruan Wen's father-in-law and his son again.
"It would be fine if it was just some refugees, but I never expected that they had recruited those Han people. This was what I was most worried about." Ruan Wenyue sighed deeply after taking a sip of tea.
The smile on Ruan Bao's face froze slightly. He understood what his father was saying. Those Han people were a little different from those in Annan. They were not only living habits, but also in many aspects, hardworking, hard-working, and tough.
It is precisely because of these that the Han people generally have a greater wealth than the locals in Annan, which will naturally arouse the jealousy and jealousy of the locals, and eventually lead to confrontation between the two sides.
Another point is that Ruan Wenyue was in Jiading in the past, but he slaughtered more than 20,000 Han people in Jiading City and was emptied. His reputation made the Han people even more afraid and dissatisfied. Although their dissatisfaction was hidden very well, Ruan Wenyue was also very alert. There was no Han people in his army, and he was extremely wary of the Han people. Even in terms of taxation, the Han people should be more important than the Annan people.
He just doesn't want those Han people to occupy a certain level of dominance in front of him, because he is afraid that one day, who knows whether those Han people will remember the old things? You must know that the Han people are the most united and stubborn.
There are not many in Suihe City, but there are also many. Among the more than 100,000 households in Suihe City, nearly 10,000 are Han people. This is not a small number, but these people are all suppressed at the bottom of society.
However, after the arrival of the Qing people, this situation began to change bit by bit, quietly. Now, although Ruan Wenyue was in a clear context, Xu Na Qing general recruited soldiers in Fu'anqing and the two prefectures, in fact, he secretly issued a strict order to officials from all over the country, not only not only did not help, but also tried every means to prevent them from recruiting soldiers, strictly ordered the people and prohibited them from joining the army.
However, the two Qing generals were really bad. They actually thought of recruiting soldiers from refugees. Then, the Qing generals asked their subordinates to force some Han people living in Suihe City to join the army, although they were nominally tragic servants, Ruan Wenyue was not an idiot with an IQ of only twenty-five.
Although so far, there are only more than 300 Han people, which has touched Ruan Wenyue's taboo. However, the black paper and white characters do not contain the Han people in Suihecheng's election. How can this make Ruan Wenyue not hold his breath? If he cannot throw a few teacups and whip off the eunuchs and palace maids, he might be able to hold his body injure all his internal organs and vomit blood and die.
"Father, the child thinks that things will not be so serious. No matter what, they are just a group of outsiders."
"It is because they are outsiders that it is even more terrible. Alas... I had known that if they wanted to recruit soldiers, I would have just asked them to recruit soldiers. There would be so many troubles." Ruan Wenyue was so angry that she wanted to curse her mother, and she wanted to slap herself hard. If she hadn't thought she was planning at the time, she wouldn't have been the situation today.
Ruan Bao touched his chin and his eyes turned: "Father, those Qing officials are very greedy. This time, they did this just to pay orders. Otherwise, the child will go find them and privately..."
Ruan Wenyue pondered for a while and shook her head: "After all, it's not appropriate. If this happens, it will make those two people suspicious."
"Or, boy..." Ruan Bao poked his head forward and whispered in Ruan Wenyue's ear.
Ruan Wenyue was stunned when she heard Ruan Bao’s idea. “This is not very good. After all, this reason really doesn’t come to the table. What if there is really a scrutiny…”
"Father, my son is just killing chickens and valoring monkeys. I only pick a few and find a reason. If it does not affect the overall situation, it will shock the Han people and make it clear that this land is still under the rule of our Ruan family." Ruan Baoyin smiled sideways. "If you don't take advantage of this time to pinch the source, Father, there are more than 10,000 households and tens of thousands of Han people in Suihe City."
Ruan Wenyue's brows were locked tightly. After a long time, he slowly said: "This matter must be kept confidential. Do not cause any trouble. We must be left clean."
"Don't worry, father, my son knows how to do it, and he will definitely make this matter correct." Ruan Bao smiled a little happy. However, his laughter made the palace maids and eunuchs tremble all over.
At this moment, Liang Pengfei was standing on the high ground not far from the recruits camp on a horse, watching the newly recruited rookies learning queue running exercises on the school ground of the recruits camp. Of course, each of them was carrying a 20-pound weight and a wooden stick in their hands. Following Shangguan's command, he worked hard to maintain the team shape and keep up with the team's speed. This might be difficult for these guys at the beginning, but now he finally ran out of shape.
Half a month has passed, and these people have finally understood what discipline and military means. At least, there is no such chaos and noisy as in the first few days.
"Young master, let's go in. It's too hot this day." Bai Shusheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his mouth almost cracked. This damn weather is a little hotter than Guangzhou.
"Okay." Liang Pengfei nodded, pulled his horse's head and rushed towards the recruit camp. The recruit camp is not far from the dock's Naval Camp, which is only three or five miles away, so you can get there by riding a horse just a stick of incense.
Wang Shouli knew very well-known his right-hand assistant Liang Pengfei had military talents and ability to train troops, so he had full power to handle all the affairs of the new recruits. He paid more attention to the naval camp at the wharf, coordinated the relationship between the Guangdong naval and the Fujian naval, and fought with the ministers under Ruan Wenyue, asking for military pay and food...
Back at the military tent, Liang Pengfei took the tea handed over by Bai Shusheng, drank it all in one gulp, and looked proudly at the newly recruited eggs who accepted their fate through the raised military tent. Because after seven or eight days after entering the military camp, they realized that they had become soldiers, but the military pay was enough and the meal was enough. In addition, the deserters had to die all the way. Moreover, they stayed outside Suihe City, and they couldn't even have enough porridge every day. After a while, they had to accept their fate.
After these days of hard work, some Han people finally came to apply for the election. Although this was only seven or eight days ago, under Liang Pengfei's secret instruction, the subordinates' intentional or unintentional care of these Han people, and the intimacy of the same nation and the same language have indeed brought a lot closer together.
Some new recruits even invited their Shangguan home to enjoy delicious food. Liang Pengfei turned a blind eye to this behavior that should not be allowed, and could even be said to be secretly indulging them, which gradually more Han people came to the conquest in the past two days.
From the initial one or two people to the current one or two people every day, now, after more than half a month, there have been more than 300 Han people in the recruit camp.
"I've seen an adult." At this time, Wu Liang, who was covered in sweat and was obviously very tired, entered the military tent. Seeing Liang Pengfei was already in the military tent, he quickly said to him.
"Thank you for your hard work, how about this? These guys are not lazy today." Liang Pengfei handed a cup of herbal tea to Wu Liang's hand and asked with a smile.
"They dare!" Wu Liang poured the tea into his mouth and laughed: "Our veterans are all training with their heads and set an example. Even my Dushi trained with the brigade. If they are lazy, our military law is not a vegetarian."
"You can see that these days, your body has lost a lot of fat and is much stronger." Liang Pengfei couldn't help but smile.
Wu Liang laughed dryly: "There is no way to fight. It's not as good as the sea. If we don't train our body firmly, we may not even be able to catch up with the team. Wouldn't we be embarrassed to throw it back to our country?"
"By the way, sir, I want to take a leave tonight." Wu Liang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Liang Pengfei.
"Why, I want to enter the city." Liang Pengfei's lips couldn't help but curl up: "Okay, I'll let you take a leave, but you are a dignified Dusi. Be careful in everything. Don't let someone catch a braid at that time. I have no shame to go to the brothel to catch people."
"Sir, what do you mean? I am not going to that kind of place." Wu Liang said with a slightly red face: "There are a few new recruits. Because we have taken great care of them these days, I want to invite a banquet for the generals and a few brothers. Don't worry, I am not asking to go to any restaurant. I am just going to their house and an ordinary family banquet."
Liang Pengfei readily agreed to Wu Liang's request. After Wu Liang left, Wu Qian got into the military tent and rushed in with a happy face: "Young master, you're so happy!"
"What a great joy?" Liang Pengfei rolled his eyes: "I asked you to patrol the sea, why did you run back now? You are still very happy? Could it be that you caught a whale to improve your food for your brothers?"
