Chapter fifty-ninth military affairs, children's decision

Haoge and Jirgalang refused to give in and quarreled together, while Sony, Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou did not dare to speak out, for fear of being distorted.

Both of them are regents. It is not good for the ministers to come forward at this time, unless the emperor and the empress dowager. The emperor is underage and can only be in charge of the government. The empress dowager is unwilling to gain a reputation for interfering in politics, so he is not good for him to come forward.

What should I do? Can't they just quarrel like this?

Fulin sat on the imperial throne and watched Haoge and Jirgalang have an interesting argument. He came up with a brilliant idea and said with a smile: "Uncle Six, brother, since you don't want to leave Beijing, it doesn't make sense to continue quarrel like this, otherwise you can just draw lots, right? How about it?"

When Haoge and Jirgalang heard this, he stopped the argument and turned around to look at Fulin.

Haoge swallowed and said to himself: "Brother, I praised you for being smart just now. Why did you come up with such an idea? Why didn't you help the emperor? I want to leave Beijing, who will help you handle the government affairs?"

Jirgalang and the three assistant ministers were also stunned. What's the matter? I'll draw lots? You can think of it! This is a national event, how can you play?

In theory, before Fulin took power, he had no right to interfere in political affairs. However, using lots to solve the quarrel between the two regents is not considered interfering in politics.

As Fulin's teacher, Fan Wencheng naturally knew that he was very smart and not a messy person when he was with Fulin. He made a proposal to draw lots. Did he have any bad idea? Is it based on the will of heaven or is it a bias?

Thinking of this, Fan Wencheng looked at Fulin with confusion. Fulin blinked at him twice quickly, implying that he was not a fool, and he knew it.

"Your Majesty, how can you play like this in military and national affairs? Uncle Six is ​​the most suitable candidate. What's the controversy?" Seeing Fulin's eyes unanswered, Haoge looked at himself and Jiergalang, and quickly gave a reminder.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to draw lots. You have not taken power yet, so don't ask about this matter." Jirgalang was stunned for a moment, and directly took out his identity as the Regent and said.

"Uncle Six, I just follow the politics and do not interfere in politics. This drawing lots is not considered interfering in politics, right? You always quarrels and not a matter of a situation. Master Fan, Sony and Hong Aiqing are not easy to say, so you are not going to be at anybody. If you don't draw lots, you can think of a way."

Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou both bowed their heads and said nothing. After all, Sony is a bannerman, and he is less concerned than them. After thinking about it, he said, "Emperor, the two princes, I think that although drawing lots is a joke, it is also a solution. Otherwise, I will follow the emperor?"

When Haoge and Jirgalang heard this, they thought to themselves, "That's fine. Whoever takes the power in the court and whoever leads troops out to fight, then decide according to God's will."

"Okay, let's follow the emperor." Haoge said.

"Okay, then draw lots." Jirgalang then made a statement.

"Okay, okay, I'll make lots." Fulin quickly jumped off the imperial throne, walked excitedly to the Longshu desk beside him, and wrote two lots on his back.

"Sixth uncle, the emperor, there are two lots here, which say 'go' and 'stay'. Whoever you hold on to 'go' will go to Nanzhili. If you hold on to 'go', stay and help me handle the government affairs. Have you heard it clearly?"

"I heard it clearly."

"I heard it clearly."

"Okay, catch it. Uncle Six, you catch it first." Fulin stretched out his hand and handed it to Jiergalang. Jiergalang reached out to grab one, and Fulin handed it to Haoge the remaining one.

Jirgalang opened the paper ball and saw the word "go" written on it, and his face changed drastically.

"Uncle Six, you caught 'go', right?" Fulin asked hurriedly when he saw Jirgalang's expression.

"Unfortunate!" Jirgalang threw the paper ball back.

Haoge opened the paper ball and took a look, his face also changed. When he heard Fulin's question, Jirgalang admitted it without hesitation. He was stunned at first, and then laughed: "Hahaha..., Uncle Six, it seems that this is God's will."

With a big laugh, he covered his expression on his face and quietly stuffed the paper ball into his horse's hoof sleeves.

...

The battle for the head coach ended in this playful lot. The emperor's uncle, Regent Jier Harang, was appointed as the Grand Marshal of Jingnan. The chief of Zhenghong Banner attacked Prince Li Mandahai as the deputy marshal. The regent minister was appointed Minister of War Hong Chengchou as the counselor, Shuncheng County Prince Luke Dehun, Jingjin County Prince Nikan, the new Zhenglan Banner Gushan Ezhen Aobai as the deputy general. He led the four banners of Zhenghong, Zhenglan, Inlaid Blue, and Inlaid White to leave the capital and gathered with Tan Tai and He Luohui stationed in Nanzhili. A total of about 200,000 soldiers under his command.

At the same time, he ordered the lord of the Red Flag Banner, Prince Xi, Luo Luohun, to be the Grand Marshal of Dingnan, to send troops to the southwest, to join Wu Sangui stationed in Hanzhong to resist Li Dingguo.

The strategy of sending troops and the candidate for the head coach have been decided, but it is not a matter of overnight. Raising food and money, repairing firearms, and preparing troops will have to be prepared for more than half a year before the army can travel to Nanzhili.

Because Hong Chengchou had to take charge of the matters about the Nanming Yongjian, he could not wait to set out with the army. He reported to Haoge that he set out in March of the fifth year of Shunzhi.

...

The attitude of the people in the hometown towards themselves, their mother's scolding, brothers' resentment, and Zhu Youlang's ruthlessness in treating Sanshun King made Hong Chengchou very depressed and he also became suspicious of the path he chose to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, he did not want to go to Nanzhili to serve as a consultant, nor did he want to face Zhu Youlang directly, but he just wanted to be an official in the capital safely.

But things didn't go as expected. Haoge and Jirgalang clearly said that they were attracted by his talent and strategy, but in fact they pushed him out of the capital.

He took him to see the Empress Dowager with reluctance. Although Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was unwilling to let him leave the capital, he could not say anything because of the situation. He had to appease him and let him obey the orders and make great contributions to Nanzhili. It is also a good choice to be promoted to the position and then become a rank in the future and then be assisted by the State.

In all his helplessness, he had to obey his orders.

An important reason for leaving Beijing in advance this time was to go to Suzhou to meet someone before the military operation.

This person is the detailed work he wants to send to Guangzhou.

He believed that as long as he told this person to enter the ear, he would definitely gain Zhu Youlang's trust and would definitely put him in an important position. With such a person working with him inside and outside, no matter how capable Zhu Youlang is, he will definitely fail.

...

On April 15, Hong Chengchou arrived in Nanzhili. The first thing he did was to call Hong Zhong, the confidant who was left in Nanjing, to his study.

"Hong Zhong, that person is still in Suzhou, right?"

"When I say to the master, the man has been detained in the Humble Administrator's Garden. He only sings with his wife's poems and essays every day, and has no contact with outsiders."

"That's good. Get ready. I'll go to see him in person by the master of the day. Remember, keep it confidential."

"Yes, master, you can save yourself a villain."
