Martial arts: longevity from the deer

After all, Qin Ran has no foundation in the court, and his power is attached to the imperial power. If he dare not even use Qin Ran, then no one in Kangxi will dare to use it anymore!

That's why he directly named Qin Ran as the General Who Conquers the South!

Otherwise, with Qin Ran's qualifications, how could he be in charge of an army alone.

These thoughts circulated in Kangxi's mind, and he said to Qin Ran solemnly:

"Aran, you must not take it lightly when you attack Wu Sangui this time. Although you have learned the art of war very well, you have never been on a real battlefield after all. I will send Suo Etu as your deputy. He discusses a lot, don't be self-willed! Do you understand?"

Suo'etu is the son of Minister Gu Ming, and he has also been on the battlefield for more than ten years.

"Yes, Your Majesty! I must discuss more with Suo'etu!"

Qin Ran agreed, but he sneered in his heart. He sent Suo'etu to restrain me, but he still didn't believe me!

Seeing that Qin Ran was so obedient, Kangxi nodded in satisfaction. He was very proficient in using the emperor's methods of check and balance.

But besides restraining Qin Ran, he also planned to give Qin Ran a sweet date as a comfort.

"After you settle Wu Sangui's civil strife, I can give you whatever you want, even if it means making you a prince!"

Speaking of this, Kangxi paused for a moment, and suddenly thought of something, he couldn't help chuckling and said: "If you can successfully defeat Wu Sangui, I will entrust you with the task of copying his house!"

After speaking, he gave Qin Ran a meaningful look.

It is impossible for Kangxi not to have heard of the fact that Qin Ran embezzled a lot of things during the raid on Oboi's house before. Even some of Oboi's women were captured by Qin Ran and served as maids.

For these, Kangxi did not want to be disciplined, because he knew a truth that when the water was clear, there would be no fish.

Corruption isn't just Qin Ran's greed, isn't it true that other people are not?

Obviously impossible.

If you allow the people around you to be greedy, the people around you will be more loyal to you, and you will allow the officials below to be greedy?What do they do!

"My lord, thank you for your grace!"

Qin Ran pretended to be terrified, but in his heart he scoffed at Kangxi's words. Instead of copying Wu Sangui's house, he would be more excited to copy the emperor's house.

Kangxi patted Qin Ran on the shoulder in satisfaction, and the two discussed some details about mobilizing food, grass and soldiers.

After more than an hour, Qin Ran left the imperial study.

He had just walked out of the imperial study room when a voice suddenly came from beside him.

"Brother Ran!"

Qin Ran turned his head and saw Princess Jianning running over with a smile on her face.

"your Highness."

Qin Ran bowed to Jianning. After all, he was in the palace, so he didn't dare to be too presumptuous for the time being.

Looking at Qin Ran who took a step back, Jianning pouted, her face full of displeasure, but although she was willful and playful, she also understood that Qin Ran's current identity was very sensitive, and he was acting too much with her as a princess at this time. Intimacy is not necessarily a good thing.

At the very least, since ancient times, concubines have not been able to hold real power.

So Jianning didn't mess around, but just looked at Qin Ran reluctantly, "You must take care of yourself when you are out! I will wait for you to come back!"

"it is good!"

Taking advantage of no one's attention, Qin Ran quietly stepped forward and patted Princess Jianning's head, then turned around and walked outside the palace.

Jianning was reluctant to look at Qin Ran's back, sighed slightly, and finally turned and left.

And this scene was all seen by Kangxi in the imperial study.

Complexity flashed in his eyes.

really!Is that kind of relationship between my sister and Qin Ran?Was it also because of this reason that Wu Yingxiong died?

He vaguely knew about the nonsense between Jianning and Qin Ran.

And through the court's intelligence network, Kangxi naturally heard about Wu Yingxiong's strange death.

Although Wu Sangui had objected for a long time, it was really abrupt to rebel in such a hasty manner.

Thinking about it now, Wu Yingxiong's death might have something to do with Jianning and even Qin Ran.

Jianning didn't want to marry Wu Yingxiong, so he killed Wu Yingxiong together with Qinran.

Seeing his son being killed, Wu Sangui rebelled in anger.

It makes perfect sense!

Thinking of this, Kangxi smiled bitterly, but now it seems that this may be a good thing.

Wu Sangui will rebel sooner or later, and he will do it in advance, so the Qing court may not suffer a disadvantage.

However, Qin Ran's military talent was very high, and he had an army of [-] outside, and he was a Han Chinese, so Kangxi might not be able to really feel at ease.

Now that Qin Ran and Princess Jianning are involved, Kangxi can feel at ease!

As long as he can win over Qin Ran, so what if he gets married after Wu Sangui is pacified?At that time, it will be just right to take over his military power under the pretext that his relatives are not allowed to participate in politics.

Kangxi calculated very well in his heart.

And after Qin Ran walked out of the palace, he turned his head and glanced in the direction of the Imperial Study Room, a trace of sarcasm flashed deep in his eyes.

Kangxi must have never imagined that all of this was deliberately created by him, including Jianning's coming to find him outside the imperial study, and he asked Jianning to do it!

After all, I am a Han Chinese, and Kangxi may change his mind at any time and change the commander of the army.

That's why Qin Ran deliberately took advantage of his affection for Princess Jianning, so that Kangxi could feel completely at ease.

After leaving the palace, Qin Ran changed into his battle armor, and took a few guards to the Jingying, which guards the capital.

There were 20 troops stationed in the Beijing camp, and the soldiers under Qin Ran's command were among them when he set out for the expedition.

Qin Ran had to select a suitable army of 20 from the [-] before going out.

Selecting soldiers is a very difficult thing. This kind of thing is quite cumbersome and complicated.

Fortunately, Qin Ran was well prepared. As early as after Oboi ransacked his home, he ordered people from the Tiandihui to investigate the identities and backgrounds of the soldiers in the Beijing camp.

After recovering Long'er, some members of the Shenlong Cult also participated in this task.

Qin Ran didn't need the selected soldiers to be good at fighting, but he needed to increase the proportion of Han Chinese as much as possible, as well as the green battalion and recruits, and it was best to have no worries about the proletarians in the entire capital.

Such an army is more obedient.

With the help of a group of supporters, Kieran completed the selection of the [-] troops in just two days.

Afterwards, hundreds of lieutenant generals were invited to have a meal together, which was regarded as connecting feelings and wooing.

Secretly, Qin Ran used his seemingly intimate physical contact to quietly transfer his "slow poison" of the Bone Cotton Palm into the bodies of these generals to control them.

In the next few days, Qin Ran stayed in the barracks and ate and slept with all the soldiers, basically sorting out the army's context.

Soon, it was time for the army to set off, and the swearing-in meeting before the expedition was about to start.

At that time, most of the dignitaries in the capital will see him off in the future.
