Chapter 205 Want to kill chickens and respect monkeys?!
Bang... Another good golden tea set was smashed on the floor, leaving tea stains on the ground, but it didn't make Ruan Wenyue feel much better.
"Father, don't be angry. You will be angry like this." Ruan Bao, who had just stepped into the hall, shook his head helplessly, but he still had to persuade Ruan Wenyue.
"Fury, how can I calm down?! I have long known that the two bastards sent by Qianlong are not good things. Look, now, the Qing garrison camp at the wharf outside the city now has three or four thousand more than their 6,000 soldiers and horses in the Qing Dynasty.
"Father, those people are just drifters and beggars. No matter how much he recruits, what can he do? Besides, they don't have weapons or ammunition. Can't they let those guys go to the battlefield with wooden sticks?
Hearing this, Ruan Wenyue seemed to feel a little better. He sat on the couch. The trembling maids and eunuchs quickly came forward to clean up the stains on the ground and gave tea to Ruan Wen's father and son again.
"If it's just some exiles, I didn't expect that they would recruit those Han people, which is what I'm most worried about." After taking a sip of tea, Ruan Wenyue sighed deeply.
The smile on Ruan Bao's face couldn't help but stiffen. He understood what his father was saying. Those Han people were a little different from the people in Annan. They were not only living habits, but also different in many aspects. They were diligent, hardworking, and tenacious.
It is precisely because of these that those Han people are generally richer than the locals in Annan. Naturally, it will cause the jealousy and jealousy of the locals, and eventually, it will lead to the confrontation between the two sides.
Another point is that Ruan Wenyue used to be in Jiading, but he slaughtered more than 20,000 Han people in Jiading City. His evil name made those Han people afraid and dissatisfied. Although their dissatisfaction is well hidden, and Ruan Wenyue is also very vigilant. There are no Han people in his army, and he is extremely mentioned to the Han people. Prevention, 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 his eyes, because he is afraid. Who knows if those Han people will think of the old things. You know, the Han people are the most grouped and stubborn.
--------------------
There are not many in Suihe City, but there are also many. Of the more than 100,000 households in Suihe City, nearly 10,000 households are Han people, which is not a small number, but these people are all at the bottom of society.
However, after the arrival of those Qing people, this situation began to change little by little, quietly. Now, although Ruan Wenyue, in the context, General Xu Naqing recruited soldiers in Fu'anqing and the two prefectures by himself, in fact, he secretly gave a strict order to officials everywhere, not only not to help, but also Try their best to prevent them from recruiting troops, strictly order the people, and prohibit them from joining the army.
However, the two generals of the Qing Dynasty were really bad. They actually thought of recruiting soldiers from the exiles. Then, the generals of the Qing Dynasty also let their subordinates rely on their Han identity to force some Han people living in Suihe City to join the army. Although they were nominally miscellaneous servants, Ruan Wenyue did not He is 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, but the black paper and white words do not say that the Han people in Suihe City are not allowed to apply. How can this make Ruan Wenyue not hold his breath? If he can't fall on a few tea cups and beat down those eunuchs to vent his anger, maybe Ruan Wenyue will really hurt all his internal organs and spit blood to death.
"Father, do you think it won't be so serious? Anyway, they are just a group of outsiders.
"It's even more terrible because they are outsiders. Alas... If I had known that they wanted to recruit, I would have let them recruit directly. How could there be so much trouble?" Ruan Wenyue was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother and slap himself fiercely. If he hadn't thought he had a plan at that time, there would have been no situation today.
Ruan Bao touched his chin and turned his eyes: "Father, those Qing officials are very greedy. This time, it is just to be ordered to do it. If you don't, the children will find them, in private..."
Ruan Wenyue pondered for a long time and shook his head: "After all, it's not appropriate. In this way, it's a reversal, which makes the two people suspicious."
"Why don't you, kid..." Ruan Bao leaned his head forward and whispered in Ruan Wenyue's ear.
Ruan Wenyue couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Ruan Bao's idea. Well, this is not very good. After all, this reason really can't be brought to the table. In case they really want to be investigated..."
"Father, my son is just killing chickens and respecting monkeys. Just pick a few and find a reason. If it doesn't affect the overall situation, it can shock those Han people and let them know that this ground is still under the rule of our Ruan family. Ruan Bao 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 this Suihe city.
Ruan Wenyue's eyebrows were tightly locked. After a long time, he slowly said, "This matter should be kept secret. Don't set yourself on fire. We must be rid of it."
"Father, don't worry, my son knows how to do it, and he will definitely let this matter be properly posted." Ruan Bao laughed a little happily. However, his laughter made the maids and eunuchs tremble all over.
At this moment, Liang Pengfei was riding a war horse and standing on the high ground not far from the new barracks. Looking at the newly recruited rookies on the school grounds of the new barracks, the newly recruited rookies were learning to run in the queue. Of course, everyone was tied with a weight of 20 catties, and he was still carrying a wooden stick in his hand. With the command of the Shangguan, he worked hard. It may be difficult for these guys to maintain the team and keep up with the speed of the team, but now they have finally run out.
Half a month has passed, and these people have finally understood the meaning of discipline and soldiers. At least, there is no chaos and noise in the first few days.
"Young master, let's go in. It's too hot this day." Bai Shusheng wiped the sweat on his forehead, and his mouth was almost cracked. The damn weather was a little hotter than Guangzhou.
"Good." Liang Pengfei nodded, pulled out the horse's head, and rushed to the new barracks. The new barracks are not far from the dock water division battalion, that is, three or five miles away, so it is only a horse to get there with the effort of Zhu Xiang.
Wang Shouli is very clear that his right-hand man Liang Pengfei has military talent and the ability to train soldiers. Therefore, for the affairs of the new barracks, the full power is handed over to Liang Pengfei, and he pays more attention to the sailor camp at the dock and coordinates the Guangdong navy and Nafu. The relationship between Jianshui Division, as well as fighting with the ministers of Ruan Wenyue, for military salary, food and fodder... Back in the military tent, Liang Pengfei took the tea handed over by Bai Shusheng, drank it all in one gulp, and proudly looked at the eggs of these new recruits through the raised military tent. Because after they entered the barracks for seven or eight days, they realized that they had become soldiers. However, the military s were full of money and the food was enough. In addition, the deserters had to die all the way. What's more, they stayed outside the Suihe city and couldn't even eat enough porridge every day. They had to accept their fate.
After these days of hard work, some Han people finally came to apply. Although this was only seven or eight days ago, under the secret instruction of Liang Pengfei, those subordinates' intentional or unintentional care for these Han people, and the intimacy of the same language through the same nation, have indeed made them much closer. The relationship.
Some recruits even invited their superiors to go home to enjoy delicious food. For this kind of behavior that should not be allowed, Liang Pengfei turned a blind eye, and even said to be secretly indulged, which gradually increased the number of Han people who came to apply for the past two days.
From the first one or two people to the current ten or twenty people a day, now, after more than half a month, there are more than 300 Han people in the new barracks.
"I've met adults." At this time, Wu Liang, who was sweating and obviously tired, entered the military tent. Seeing that Liang Pengfei was already in the military tent, he quickly saluted.
"Thank you for your hard work. How's it going? These guys are not lazy today, are they?" 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 in one gulp and said with a smile, "Our veterans are all training with their heads, leading by example. Even I, have been training with the brigade. If they are lazy, our military law is not vegetarian."
"I can see that these days, your fat has really lost a lot and is much stronger." Liang Pengfei couldn't help laughing.
Wu Liang smiled dryly: "There's no way. There's going to be a war. The land is no better than the sea. If the last general doesn't train his body a little stronger, I'm afraid he won't even be able to catch up with the team. Isn't it a shame to go back to China?"
"Yes, my lord, I want to ask for a leave tonight." Wu Liang wiped the sweat on his forehead and said to Liang Pengfei.
"Why, do you want to go to the city?" The corners of Liang Pengfei's mouth couldn't help tilting up: "Os, I'll allow you to fake it, but you are a dignified capital. Be careful in everything. Don't let people catch braids at that time. I don't have the face to go to the brothel to fish for people."
"Your excellency, what are you talking about? You won't go to that kind of place." Wu Liang blushed slightly and said, "There are a few recruits, because we take good care of them, so we want to entertain the last general and a few brothers. Your Excellency, don't worry, the last general didn't ask for any restaurant. It's just to go to their house, an ordinary family dinner."
Liang Pengfei readily agreed to Wu Liang's request. After Wu Liang left, Wu Qianjin got into the military tent and rushed in with a happy face: "Young master, I'm so happy!"
"What's the joy?" Liang Pengfei rolled his eyes and said, "Let your boy go to patrol the sea. Why did you run back now and be so happy? Did you catch a whale to improve the food for your brothers?"
"It's not this. The small thing is that I met the person sent by the master..." Wu Qianjin came to Liang Pengfei's ear and whispered a few words. The smile on Liang Pengfei's face froze in an instant. Born?!"
