Chapter 281 General Shengjing

In Nanjing City, in the mansion of Wei Dongting, the Governor of Customs of four provinces, Kangxi sat leisurely in the garden and admired the flowers and plants of this season. After a few days of rest, his fatigue has almost recovered. He has already begun to think about taking people out for a walk in two days. As for the southern tour, you can't just go around here in the Wei Mansion? And beside him, there was only one Li Dequan... When he first arrived a few days ago, Li Dequan was too tired and went to rest after serving Kangxi. As a result, he missed the "good thing" in which Ma Qi, Gao Shiqi and Ma De were detained, and he was dereliction of duty. Therefore, Li Dequan is now indifferent to Kangxi.

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhang Yuxiang and Lord Zhang are here!"

After admiring the flowers and plants for a while, Li Dequan saw Zhang Yuxiang coming to the garden gate, so he bent down and whispered to Kangxi.

"Well! Call him here!" Kangxi nodded casually and said.

"Abide by the order!" Li Dequan bowed, then walked towards Zhang Yuxiang, who was whispering something to the little eunuch who was guarding the garden, and brought him to Kangxi.

...

"Sister, please see the emperor!" After Zhang Yuxiang came over, he knelt on one knee and first kowtowed to Kangxi.

"Yeah. Get up!" Kangxi raised his hand slightly and signaled Zhang Yuxiang to calm down.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Yuxiang stood up after kowtowed again, but his body was still a little bent... In front of Kangxi, few people could stand up straight.

"Yuxiang, how many years have you been by my side?" Kangxi did not look at Zhang Yuxiang. He just looked at the flowers and plants pool in front of him and asked casually.

"Return to the emperor, in the 22nd year of Kangxi, I entered the palace as an imperial guard when I was seventeen years old. Until now, I have been serving the emperor for almost twenty years." Zhang Yuxiang bowed and replied.

"Twenty years have passed. Haha, it's been a bit long! I remember that you were not very brave at that time!" Kangxi turned his head and said with a smile.

"What the emperor said is that the first time I took office was to go to inspect Fengtian, but I met a beautiful tiger on the road. I was useless at that time and was scared to death. If the Wu Junmen hadn't reached out quickly, I would have died under the tiger's claws." Zhang Yuxiang replied respectfully. This was an old thing he said. In the 22nd year of Kangxi, Kangxi went on a tour of Fengtian. Before he could reach the place, when he was walking on the road, Kangxi was excited to hunt. Kangxi was a man who wanted to do it. He immediately took a group of guards and confidants to hunt, but what he didn't expect was that there was not much prey, and Kangxi himself almost became the prey of a big tiger. At that time, Zhang Yuxiang stayed beside Kangxi. Because he had never seen that scene, he was scared by a tiger that suddenly rushed out of the forest.

After being stunned, he not only forgot his duty to protect the emperor, but even when the tiger rushed towards him, he didn't react, but just stood there motionless. Fortunately, Wu Dan was the leader of Kangxi's guard at that time. Since he was originally a horse thief in the Guandong, Wu Dan was not scared like others before, so he reacted very quickly. He stepped forward and slapped him and woke him up, saving him from the tiger's claws. Then, because the tiger had already pounced down, Wu Dan had no time to pull out his weapons, and he forced a life-and-death battle with his fists and heels. Finally, Wei Dongting, who was in the back team, rushed over and slapped Lengzi to kill the tiger with a dagger, and then saved Wu Dan again. As a result, because of his timidity and poor performance, Zhang Yuxiang was also taken off the top of his head by Kangxi, and became a soldier from the imperial guard who was envied by everyone.

"I've been a little over this matter at that time. After all, you were still young and just became a guard and had never experienced any major situations. It was normal for a tiger to appear in Pingkong. I felt a little panicked..." Kangxi shook his head and said with a slight shaking his head when he heard Zhang Yuxiang talk about the old things.

"As an imperial guard, he was panicked when he was in trouble and could not protect the saint. It was a mistake for the slave. If it weren't for the Wu Junmen's efforts to protect the driver, the slave would probably not be at ease even if he died. Your Majesty said in a low voice. Zhang Yuxiang said in a low voice. He still felt scared when he remembered that scene! If Kangxi was really bitten to death by a tiger at that time, even if it was just bitten, he would not have any life. Speaking of which, Wu Dan did not only save Kangxi, but also save everyone around Kangxi at that time.

"Haha, right, let's ignore it for now. Zhang Yuxiang finally didn't disappoint me anymore. When he was expeditioning to Galdan, he led more than a hundred elite troops to rush to Galdan's camp. Even Feiyanggu always praised him every time he mentioned this matter!" Kangxi said again.

"The emperor has been too rewarded. If he goes to fight to kill the enemy, it is just the duty of a slave." Zhang Yuxiang replied with a bow, and he was quite proud of his words. Since he was beaten by Kangxi, he has been practicing his courage. Later, he followed Kangxi to the west to fight against Galdan, and he took the vanguard several times and broke through Galdan's camp with the dead soldiers. It can be said that he had fought his life to avenge his previous shame. Later, his hard work paid off. After Kangxi learned about his courage, he praised him and transferred him back to the imperial court. However, Zhang Yuxiang didn't quite understand why Kangxi mentioned these old things again.

"It's well said. It's this 'deserve'! Now many people forget this thing!...I know that you are a strong person. I have heard that after being cut by me, you cried all night, and then tried your best to practice your courage and martial arts. Later, I made it back with the success of the battlefield... I get up from wherever I fall. It's easy to say this, how many people may be able to do it? You Zhang Yuxiang is not only a tough guy, but also a great man!" Kangxi said in a deep voice.

"I thank my master for your appreciation!" Zhang Yuxiang knocked at Kangxi again, and couldn't help but choke. The education he received since childhood was to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism. In his mind, Kangxi was the sky. He was cut off by Kangxi's order twenty years ago. He cried because of his sadness. Now, Kangxi finally said in person that he was a "master of men", which was equivalent to admitting his efforts over the past 20 years. In an instant, all his efforts seemed to be rewarded. How could he not be excited?

"Okay, stop crying. Don't look at how old they are now?" Kangxi looked at Zhang Yuxiang with some amusement and whispered. This is not anger. Zhang Yuxiang's true feelings show his loyalty to him as the emperor in another form. He only feels happy and a little... touched! And at this moment, the idea he had already made has changed a little.

"I don't... don't cry!" That's what I said, but after wiping a handful of tears, another whip of tears could not stop flowing down, and it wouldn't work. Touching things like this can't stop by just stopping. If someone can do this, it only means that the person's touch is most likely to be pretended.

"..." Seeing Zhang Yuxiang wiping tears, Kangxi could only smile and shake his head. He was in the ninth level, and he had not encountered such a situation for many years. He didn't want to stop it! That was really inhumane, and he also wanted to take a look at this scene more.

...

"Yuxiang. Do you know what I came to you this time?"

Zhang Yuxiang did not cry for too long. After finally suppressing his mood, Kangxi took him to slowly turn around in the garden. The predecessor of the Wei Mansion was the palace built by Kangxi during his first southern tour. Although the Qing court had just pacified the Three Feudals and was not as peaceful as it is now, the emperor's palace was still extraordinary. Not only is the scenery of this garden special, but the word "big" alone is enough to match the mansions of many rich people.

"I don't know, please tell me clearly!" Zhang Yuxiang bowed and replied when he heard Kangxi's question.

"I originally wanted you to go to Heilongjiang to replace Pengchun!" Kangxi turned his head and said to Zhang Yuxiang with a smile.

"Your Majesty, do you want your servant to take over the position of General Heilongjiang?" Zhang Yuxiang was a little stunned. General Heilongjiang was the most important position in Manchuria except for Admiral Fengtian. Especially after the Battle of Yaxa with Russia in the 19th year of Kangxi, the status of General Heilongjiang was even more prominent. Zhang Yuxiang really did not expect that Kangxi would send him to lead troops there. Although he had military merits, in terms of seniority, he did not have enough qualifications in the army. He never thought that such good things would hit him.

"I did think so, but I just changed my mind!" Kangxi turned his head and said another sentence that made Zhang Yuxiang a little depressed.

"I'm following the emperor's orders!" Isn't going to Heilongjiang? I just said that there weren't so many good things! Zhang Yuxiang said intimately. Although he was a little depressed, he had no distractions and was still sincere to Kangxi.

"Haha, the position of General Heilongjiang is extraordinary. Not only is the status important, but it is also full of oil and water. I suddenly don't want you to go. Don't you feel a pity?" Kangxi asked with a smile when he heard Zhang Yuxiang's words.

"No matter what status or status a slave is, you can only follow the emperor's orders!" Zhang Yuxiang clasped his fists and said solemnly.

"Okay! Then I will send you to serve as General Shengjing. Are you willing?" Kangxi turned his head and stared at Zhang Yuxiang again and said with a smile.

"Sheng...General Shengjing?"

If Kangxi said he was very surprised that he would send Zhang Yuxiang to be the general of Heilongjiang just now, then the four words "General Shengjing" that popped up from Kangxi's mouth are enough to make Zhang Yuxiang not know what "language" is.

Shengjing is Fengtian! Huang Taiji established the founding place of the Qing Dynasty! The Manchu text of "Shengjing" is called "Micdun Hetun", and "Micdun" means prosperity in Manchu text. General Shengjing is responsible for the peace of Fengtian, and the security of the mausoleums of the founders and founders of the Qing Dynasty, Nurhaci and Huang Taiji. These two, no matter which one, represent a message, that is, the confidant of the emperor's confidant cannot assume this position. But Kangxi suddenly said that he would hand over this position to him, a person who was not qualified in the military or in the officialdom. How could Zhang Yuxiang not be shocked?

"Your Majesty, please forgive me... I dare not accept it!" After a while, Zhang Yuxiang said so.

"What? I think this position is too low?" Kangxi asked with a smile.

"I dare not! The emperor, General Shengjing is a great connotation. I think he is not qualified..." Zhang Yuxiang said. Who doesn't want to get a high position? But he has to be able to sit in this high position! He is not afraid of dying on the battlefield, but if he wants to firmly sit in General Shengjing, courage and courage alone are far from enough. He understands this very well.

"Not qualified? Haha... Are you afraid of this? With my will, what are you afraid of? Where have you been practicing over the years?" Kangxi laughed.

"Your Majesty, I'm not afraid. It's just..."

"Just afraid that someone will not accept it? Yes?" Kangxi asked with a smile.

"..." Zhang Yuxiang did not answer, giving Kangxi a default.

"Yes, General Shengjing is indeed not easy to sit in. It was a good idea to say that everything was peaceful. But now it is different. Not to mention that the cracks between North Korea and our country have already arisen. Just because of the re-treasure of the Jingqian, there are often fights around Fengtian. Moreover, according to the rules, the re-treasure of the Jingqian must be trained by General Shengjing. This is a life of offending!" Kangxi sighed again.

"Your Majesty, isn't Admiral Fengtian responsible for the Beijing flag trained to return to the stockpile?" Zhang Yuxiang asked.

"It is true. However, now the Fengtian Admiral Sabusu has been transferred to the northwest by me, and this position is vacant. Therefore, I will leave the training of returning to the Tunjing Banner to General Shengjing in the future!" Kangxi said.

"Your Majesty, aren't you going to send Admiral Fengtian?" Zhang Yuxiang heard the meaning of Kangxi's words and was a little surprised. There was a navy admiral in Manchuria, but there was no land admiral, which was somewhat inconsistent with the rules of history.

"I originally planned to send you to replace Pengchun and then send Pengchun to take over this position, but after thinking about it, I would forget it. Pengchun has been staying on the frontier for many years. Although he has not made many military achievements, he has worked a lot. In addition to customs lijin, Heilongjiang can now add hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to the court every year. He has made a lot of efforts in it, which can be said to be extremely rare. Therefore, I plan to transfer him to the pass to comfort him, and his deputy general Lang Tan will take over the role. As for you, Zhang Yuxiang, I think it is a good material that can withstand the beatings, so if you want to put it in Shengjing and temper it, don't let my expectations down!" Kangxi said.

"I will definitely live up to the emperor's expectations! It's just the emperor, this general of Shengjing..." Fengtian was very peaceful now. Although there was what Kangxi said, Zhang Yuxiang could not see any place to temper people.

"Yuxiang, what do you think of Yuzhong?" Kangxi naturally understood what Zhang Yuxiang meant. However, he did not say anything directly, but instead asked Zhang Yuxiang about Yuzhong.

"Yu Junmen?" Zhang Yuxiang was stunned again.

"That's right. It's that 'Yu Junmen'!" Kangxi smiled.

"When I go back to the emperor, I have only met Yu Junmen several times and dare not argue with the generals in the court!" Zhang Yuxiang lowered his head and said.

"Just say it! Why are you so mom-in-law and mother-in-law practicing courage?" Kangxi said with some displeasure.

"I obey the order!" Seeing Kangxi's face change, Zhang Yuxiang did not dare to refuse. After thinking about it, he bowed to Kangxi again: "Emperor, although I dare not judge the general at will, I have indeed heard some rumors about Yu Junmen recently..."

"Rumor? What are the rumors?" Kangxi asked.

"In the past two days, I heard someone say... Yu Junmen took the Manchu Navy to fight Japan because he knew the national treasury was deficient. Some people said that his purpose was to make up for the national treasury..." Zhang Yuxiang said while looking at Kangxi's face carefully.

"Oh? There is such a thing?" Kangxi unconsciously stopped watching the flowers, and his face, which was originally a little smile, also calmed down, and asked Zhang Yuxiang without any objection.

"I just heard what someone said below!" Zhang Yuxiang hurriedly bowed and replied.

"Is it to fight Japan to make up for the treasury deficit? Haha... This man really dares to think about anything!" Kangxi murmured a few words, laughed again, and shook his head slightly with his shoulders. However, as soon as he started again, he suddenly stopped again. Then, he turned to Zhang Yuxiang and said:

"...It's decided. In two days, I will give you an imperial edict. Then you will go to Shengjing to take over with the decree. Now you go to the prison to raise Made first, and you will say I want to see him!"

"Slaves obey the order!"

Seeing Kangxi staring at the flowers on the ground with expressionless face, Zhang Yuxiang knew that he had said too much today and did not dare to say anything else. He bent down and bowed to Kangxi and retreated. After Zhang Yuxiang retreated, Li Dequan, who had just been sent away by Kangxi to avoid hindering the excuse of the emperor and his ministers, came back to Kangxi to serve him. When Li Dequan came to Kangxi, he happened to hear Kangxi muttering:

"Cast silver coins! Made, in the middle, Ferdinand..."
