Guan Zhuofan's eyebrows raised slightly: "Please tell me more details." ”

"Wherever the Yangtze River sailors docked warships and established flood construction departments," Peng Yulin said, "you can see the water warriors on the shore, with their clothes open, their chests and belly protruding, and there is no discipline at all!" I have seen those who eat white food, buy at a low price, and even directly ask for money from vendors and merchants! ”

After a pause, he shook his head slightly, and his eyes flashed: "This is not the worst!" When I was in Pengze, I encountered such an incident: several water warriors, who needed to ask for food, actually kicked a hawker to the ground on the spot, saying that he was a 'water bandit' and wanted to be dragged back to the camp for torture. ”

"The peddler cried and cried out, 'I have entered the palace of Hades, and I will not come out alive.'" I can't reveal my identity, but when I encounter something like this, how can I endure it anymore? stood up at the moment, shouted to stop, and reprimanded him. Those Shui Yong couldn't figure out where I came from, and probably thought that I was a gentleman or something, and seeing that the crowd was getting more and more, they had to let go of the vendor and go stupidly. ”

"That night, I asked someone to hold a name post, and invited the main hall of Pengze County to speak to my boat. I said, the sailor who was in Pengze County was brave and unscrupulous, and the villagers were completely lawless, how did you, the parent official, make decisions for the people? ”

"Unexpectedly, after listening to my words, the Pengze County Commander actually cried and cried. While crying, he said that seeing that the 'Peng Zexie's Shui Yong was rampant, and every time in the name of 'Tongshui bandits', he arrested good people, tortured them, just to extort money, but as a county parent, he was helpless. Truly ashamed! Guilty gods. Originally, it was already entrusting people. The idea is to be transferred out of Peng Ze; If it doesn't work, you can simply resign and go home to farm! ”

"I was shocked and angry, what do you mean by 'helpless'? Although the sailor is not under your jurisdiction, can you not apply for it in detail when you come to power? ”

"Pengze County Decree said, why didn't you report it? But it didn't work! The above is either to ask for evidence, or to transfer the case to the supervisor of 'Peng Zexie'. Gong Bao Mingjian, the innocent people who were caught in. Those who came out alive have all been beaten into tricks, drawn and charged, and if you want to say 'evidence', it is all the 'evidence' of the sailor! None of the family members dared to testify - for fear of reprisals! Where do I find 'evidence'? ”

"As for asking the sailor to check himself, isn't that seeking skin with the tiger?"

Peng Yulin was named the crown prince Shaobao, so the Peng Ze County Order called him "Gong Bao".

Guan Zhuofan's face was solemn and said, "Exactly! ”

"The prince doesn't know, there are even more terrifying!"

Peng Yulin paused. He took a slight breath, trying to suppress his anger. continued: "The Pengze County Order said that although these cases are dark, they are so bad that there are traces of them; There is a case that you can't solve in a hundred years! ”

"Oh?"

"On the river in the Pengze area, there are business travelers who looted for the bandits, reported to the county government, and said that it was a boat driven by the bandits, very similar to the sampan and long dragon boat of the sailor, and the weapons used were also standard weapons! This is clearly the courage of the sailors, who took off their uniforms and openly robbed without worry! ”

"The cases on the river are not under the jurisdiction of the local government, and they all have to be reported to the sailor-the prince thinks, please be a thief, handle it yourself, is this kind of case impossible to solve in a hundred years?"

"Sure enough."

"Although the Green Battalion has a strong habit - I'm talking about the unadapted Green Battalion, but only when it is fighting, will it openly act as a bandit and a thief, and I don't dare to be so rampant on weekdays. That's why I said that the current Yangtze River sailors are really not as good as the green camp! ”

After a pause, Peng Yulin gritted his teeth and said: "This 'Peng Zexie' pipe band, I must have a strict ginseng - I must kill him!" Otherwise, what is the reason of heaven? ”

Guan Zhuofan shook his head slightly: "Xue Weng, the pipe band of 'Peng Zexie', the official position is only a thousand presidents, if you want to kill him, why is it so troublesome?" Besides, it is not uncommon for people to go back and forth, arrest and enter Beijing, review by the Criminal Department, and execute the imperial pen, and delay it for a long time. ”

"What does the prince mean ......"

"Snowon, I ask you to see a will."

Hearing the word "will", Peng Yulin hurriedly stood up.

Guan Zhuofan hurriedly said: "Xue Weng misunderstood, I didn't pass on the decree - what I asked you to see was the draft of the will." The messenger is Zhu Xiubo, and tomorrow, he will come to your mansion to issue the decree. ”

With that, he took out a white fold and handed it over.

Peng Yulin took it with both hands, sat down, opened the fold, and looked at it carefully.

This decree can be regarded as a supplementary explanation of the "court mail" that Yun Shilin showed him before, the most eye-catching of which is this sentence: "Admiral, commander-in-chief, adjutant general, staff general, guerrilla, capital division, garrison, thousand generals, generals, foreign commissioners and other officials, if they are deposed from life and death, the commander can be executed on the spot, and there is no need to ask for the decree to be executed." ”

That is to say, the Yangtze River Water Division, except for Admiral Huang Yisheng and the five general soldiers, the rest of the generals and Peng Yulin can cut off their heads with one knife as long as they are happy.

It's thrilling power.

If you have more than three grades, even if you are a "big member", theoretically speaking, the disposal of them is the power of the emperor, and non-subordinates can be "specialized". The deputy general is from the second grade, and the general is from the third grade, all of which are in this category.

The power to kill "great officials" without asking for orders can only be possessed by a figure such as a "great general" who oversees the military affairs of several provinces in a large-scale military operation. There are two hundred years of the Qing Dynasty, and there are only two and a half people who have this power: one is Nian Qianyao, one is Guan Zhuofan, and half is Zeng Guofan.

Now, there is another Peng Yulin - at least, it can be regarded as "half".

Peng Yulin's chest was surging, and he stagnated for a while before he said: "The saint is longitudinal, and the saint is lofty!" Peng Yulin did his best, and then died! ”

Of course, he also knew that the little emperor was only more than ten years old, and this matter actually had nothing to do with "Shengming", and what he really wanted to thank was the person sitting in front of him.

"The prince is more trusting than a sage! Yulin has no way to repay it, so he can only do his best to make this errand completely clear! ”

"Xue Weng," Guan Zhuofan said with a smile, "This time, there is another thing, I invited the imperial court to come, you bring it, it can be regarded as a magnificent performance!" ”

With that, he stood up and clapped his hands.

Peng Yulin didn't know why he stood up, but since the prince stood up, as a subordinate, he naturally had to stand up, so he also stood up.

Two officers in Western uniforms, carrying a dragon pavilion, entered the hall.

Peng Yulin recognized it at a glance: inside the Dragon Pavilion, there was a flag and a card, which turned out to be the "King's Destiny Banner".

The "King's Destiny Banner" represents "Ru I am here", no wonder the prince wants to get up to greet him.

In the Dragon Pavilion, there is a rectangular blue satin flag of two feet and six inches long, and a round basswood sign of vermilion lacquer of seven inches and five minutes, and the flag and the card have a golden "Ling" character of the Manchu and Han Dynasty, and the big seal of the military department is displayed on it.

Guan Zhuofan said: "Originally, the will was enough, this 'royal flag', more of it is not more, less of it is not much. However, when the snow man brought it, when he ran errands, it was more lively after all. ”

"Doing things" refers to killing people - executing generals who have committed crimes.

"Lively" Peng Yulin can also be silently said: Although the two holy decrees before and after and the title of "Commander of the Imperial Order to Patrol the Sailors" have given him complete arbitrary power, when killing people, beating drums and firing cannons and inviting out the "royal order banner" can still greatly increase the deterrent effect and maximize the benefits of "Liwei" -- for middle and lower-level martial artists, the "royal order banner" is particularly powerful and special magic.

Peng Yulin said: "The prince has no last resort, Yulin feels good!" Just ......"

After hesitating for a moment, he said: "My envoy this time, except for a scholar, only brought two guards to serve the 'King's Destiny Banner', I'm afraid that I don't have enough strength to spare......"

Guan Zhuofan said: "This is easy to do, I will send a team of soldiers to escort the 'King's Flag' for you." ”

"This ......"

"Snowman, I know your concerns. You are an errand envoy, and you never follow the car lightly, and you don't talk about pomp and circumstance at all - yes, when the pomp is big, you can't see the situation below! You can rest assured, this team of soldiers and the 'King's Flag' will take another boat, not showing mountains and not dewy water, and follow you from a distance behind your boat, and if you want to use it, send a guard over to greet you; When they don't use it, they can be stuffy gourds. ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang!"
