Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 348
"Young master, how do you deal with this super brave prince's son-in-law?"

Yang Zhi could see clearly that the Ever Victorious Army in Linqing City was not the enemy, nor was the Qing Dynasty's governor Guotai and Tianjin Governor Xu Ji who sealed the frontier.

The emperor's son-in-law who is on his way is the one.

Who is the enemy, who is the friend, and who is the object of cooperation? These are the criteria for the development of members of the Gongjin Association, and it is also a concept that every Gongjin member must be clear about.

Once we understand this point, we will be able to advance together in our great cause. Gods come to kill gods, and Buddhas come to kill Buddhas.

"Send someone to assassinate him, or shoot him with a black gun?"

Yang Zhi prefers that Prince Chaoyong should be assassinated by the Qingshui sect in Zhili, because the time, place and people are needed to fight black guns, and the preparation period is too long to be as fast as the assassination.

As long as the person did not die in Linqing, Emperor Ren would not be able to suspect the young master if he wanted to, and he would not cause the young master any trouble.

Jia Liu was noncommittal.

Although since he became an official, he has repeatedly made great achievements, killing and wounding nearly two regiments of the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia, and there are as many as hundreds of middle and senior generals. Has some home field advantage.

The battle in Shandong this time is completely away. Except for the skeleton of a dozen trusted Sauron soldiers, but there is no Chang Wei army whose surname is Jia, there is no other direct lineage force to use, so the black gun is completed on the military level. This feat is too difficult.

Unless, he can buy all the two battalions of Sauron soldiers from outside, but that is obviously unrealistic.

To put it bluntly, if the [-] Sauron soldiers from outside the pass had to be surnamed Jia, Jia Liu would have led them to surprise Beijing and break into the Forbidden City to ask Qianlong to be laid off early. The bandits worry about it.

Although it is feasible to send people to assassinate and blame the Qingshui sect, the method is too low-level. For Jia Liu, who is already the prime minister, it is not interesting, and he cannot recall the enthusiasm he had in his early years.

But there is no doubt that Qianlong must have made a big move in sending his son-in-law, which essentially conflicts with Jia Liu's interests.

For example, Jia Liu has to fight for a year, and Prince Chaoyong insists on solving it in a month. How to reconcile this contradiction?

While thinking about it, Yang Jingsu, the chief minister of Zhili, sent a letter to invite the four big brothers to meet again in three days to discuss major issues.

The news of the impending arrival of the ultra-valiant Prince Lawang not only gave Jia Liu a headache, but Governor Guotai of Shandong, Governor Xu Ji of Tianjin and Yang Fantai of Zhili were a little restless.

The third joint meeting was held. In addition to the four leaders of the Shandong Suppression General, Yu Yijian, the chief envoy of Shandong who came from Jinan, and Wan Chaoxing, the only general in Shandong and the general in Zhili, participated in the meeting. .

Yu Fantai came all the way here in order to get a share of the grain transfer. For this reason, he specially made a cassock inlaid with gold for Monk Wang, and also had a copy of the "Diamond Sutra" engraved in a gold booklet and gave it to Yi Jiang. Ah.

However, what Yu Fantai wanted to share was not the loss of grain transshipment, but to ask Yi Jiang'a to help the Ministry of Households agree to set up a checkpoint in Xiajin, east of Linqing, to collect tariffs from merchants traveling from south to north.

The reason is that since the Qingshuijiao incident, the northern part of Shandong has been corrupted. In addition, Shandong has been plagued by disasters for the past two years, and the treasury is really unable to support the needs of the army. , After the war is settled down, the customs will be withdrawn.

People who believe in Buddhism are really easy to talk about.

Hearing what Yu Fantai said about the poverty of the people in Shandong and how the officials couldn't even pay their salaries, the soft-hearted Yi Jiang A wrote a letter to the official of the household department, that is, his own Laozi Yonggui, to help Shandong fight for the establishment of the customs.

In order to repay Yi Jiang Ah, Yu Fantai asked someone to accompany Master Yi to visit famous temples in Dongchang, and he himself took time to attend the joint meeting.

In fact, except for Xu Ji, the governor of Tianjin, and the two chief soldiers, all the people present here are members of the Mutual Aid Association.

Yu Yijian's elder brother is the white paper fan of the Mutual Aid Association - Yu Minzhong, the chief military minister.

The Shandong General Soldier is the only die-hard supporter of Cathay Pacific. If Cathay Pacific hadn't spoken out for him, this veteran General Soldier would have been dismissed and escorted back to Beijing long ago.

Wan Chaoxing, the commander-in-chief of Zhili, was promoted by Yang Jingsu when he was the governor, so there is no need to mention the relationship.

"The emperor once said that Lawang and his son are the Wei Huo of the Qing Dynasty, and the Sauron soldiers are the most elite troops of my Eight Banners."

Cathay was the first to speak. He was worried that Prince Chaoyong, who was praised by the emperor himself as the great Qing Huo Qubing, would interfere with the current policy of "siege first, attack second". The sale and purchase of grain grains also appeared to be incapable of civil and military affairs in the besieged city.

"We've been besieging for so long but we haven't been able to break through the city. Will he be able to break through the city as soon as his son-in-law arrives?"

Xu Ji, the governor of Tianjin, did not believe that Sauron's soldiers and that Lawang were really so powerful.

"Don't be afraid of [-], just be afraid of what happens."

Zhili chief envoy Yang Fantai said that a large number of religious bandits in Linqing City are leaving the city to surrender.

Hearing the words, Shandong General Soldier Only One immediately muttered: "If that's the case, why don't we destroy the city first, so as to save the credit for others to snatch it!"

Jia Liu coughed lightly: "Although there are many religious bandits who left the city to surrender these days, most of them are coercing farmers and ignorant villagers. The elite of the religious bandits are still persisting, and there may be more than [-] people."

The only thing I don't understand is: "Lord Jia, didn't you say that you have surrendered seven or eight generals and a dozen lieutenants? Why are there so many elite bandits in the city?"

"This"

Jia Liuyi was speechless for a while, but fortunately, Yang Fantai made a timely rescue for him, and the embarrassment was resolved.

"It's not surprising that Wang Lun, the rebellious teacher, proclaimed himself the master of Jianyuan, rewarded him a lot, and had a lot of official positions."

After rescuing Jia Liu, Yang Fantai moved his long beard, "In any case, the religious bandits are going to be suppressed, but when to suppress and when to destroy the city, it is up to Prime Minister Jia Jia to decide."

Jia Liu hurriedly said modestly: "Master Yang is joking,"

Before he finished speaking, Yang Fantai waved his hand and interrupted: "I'm not joking, you, Jia Jiashikai, are the prime minister and minister of military affairs in Shandong. You have no will. Even if he is the emperor's son-in-law, Prince Chaoyong, he can't force you to do things." .”

"This"

Jia Liu thought that Lao Yang was going to put him on the fire and point him at the emperor's son-in-law as a bastard, and he couldn't do such a wicked thing.

While thinking about how to resolve it, there was a loud noise outside the camp.

It turned out that Qianlong's son-in-law, Chaoyong Prince Lawang and the capital censor Ashha rushed two days in advance.

However, the group was stopped by Chang Weijun who was on duty at the camp.

The imperial censor Asiha immediately raised his whip and shouted: "Presumptuous, this is Prince Chaoyong, Mr. Gu Lun's son-in-law Lawang, don't let him go!"

The commander of Changwei's army on duty was Zamur, a Sauron soldier. He was not afraid at all. With a wave of his hand, more than twenty Changwei soldiers with muskets stood in front of the door.

"No one is allowed to enter the camp without the order of Lord Jia Jia, and those who violate it will be punished as trespassing!"

Zamur remained expressionless and devoted to his duties.

"presumptuous!"

Asha, who had served as the governor of Jiangxi, Henan, Guangdong, and Shanxi provinces, was furious: "You gang of green flags only have Jia Jia in their eyes, and you can't do it without the court!"
