Sir, you have to pay more

Governor Yu Wenyi of Fujian Province and Governor Debao almost entered Beijing one after the other for their urgent deliveries to Taiwan.

Knowing that there are tens of thousands of people gathered in Taiwan Tiandi, most of the three halls of one prefecture, four counties and three counties were lost, the old rich who presided over the temporary military government couldn't sit still, and hurriedly put down the business at hand and hurriedly called relevant officials to discuss.

The meeting had two propositions.

The first is the strategy of "all-out efforts to stabilize Taiwan" proposed by Yiltu, Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

Yiltu believed that important officials should be sent to mobilize the Manchu and Han soldiers from Guangdong, Zhejiang, Fujian and even Guangxi. In addition, the second battalion of Fujian, which had been dispatched by General Dingxi, was sent back to order the officers and soldiers of the four provinces to cross the sea platform. The power of thunder will level the world in one fell swoop and will rebel against the thieves.

As for who can be the commander-in-chief of the army, Yiltu proposed to grant the ranks of nine admirals and ministers such as Jia Jiashikai, the right servant of the Ministry of War, to go to Fujian to control the Manchu and Han officers and soldiers in three (four) provinces.

Old Fu certainly knew the purpose of his brother-in-law's dismissal of Jia Shikai, and in his heart he also wanted to get rid of his six sons, so that no one would hinder him from "changing the dynasty".

However, the battle in Huguang is now fierce, if another large army is recruited to attack Taiwan, not to mention that the treasury will not be able to afford it, and if it is not done well, it will destabilize the southeast due to a large number of troops, giving the anti-Qing elements an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Moreover, it seems unlikely that the six virtuous brothers would agree to go to Taiwan.

The proposition put forward by Minister of Military Aircraft Qing Gui is relatively more feasible.

Qinggui believed that the Taiwan rebels were nothing more than a mob, and there was no need to make a fuss. They only needed to send troops from Fujian Province to cross the sea, and the rebels would surely flee.

There are three specific deployments.

One is to agree to Fujian governor Yu Wenyi's request to open a Taiwan town, with Fuzhou garrison Chai Daji as the commander-in-chief, leading a battalion of [-] troops to cross the sea for reinforcements;

The second is to order Huang Shijian, the admiral of the Fujian Navy, to lead 2000 troops to ferry from Xiamen to Luerkou;

The third is to order Ren Chengen, the admiral of the Fujian Green Camp, to lead 2000 troops, and Xu Dingshi, the deputy general of the Fujian Security Association, to lead 1000 troops to join Huang Shijian's navy from Min'ankou to Luerkou.

After the soldiers and horses of the Three Routes went to Taiwan, they announced to the outside world that the imperial court would send a large army to Taiwan in the near future, thus causing psychological pressure on the congregation of heaven and earth and disrupting their deployment.

At the same time, we must support the big gentry families in Taiwan who insist on resisting the rebels, or send people to advise them, or provide them with money, food and weapons.

Qinggui's plan was limited to the province of Fujian, and the mobilization of troops and money and food were obviously much less compared to the dispatch of large troops to cross Taiwan, and Fujian Province could barely support it.

After much deliberation, Lao Fu agreed with Qinggui's plan, and in the name of the emperor ordered the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang and the governor of Fujian to implement it.

He also instructed Fujian to recruit and use them together, to tolerate rebels, and to send people familiar with thieves to use them as intrigues.

Tell the people of Taiwan, "If you can capture and bind the head of the thief and offer the eyes of the thief, you will be rewarded, and the official shame will be given to make the party members separate, and it will be easier to get the leader."

Qinggui's plan quickly reached the ears of Jia Liu who was in Jingling, and he ordered Shuanzhu to make a copy of the plan and send it to Yang Yuchun and Liu De before the imperial court ordered it.

"Tell Xiaochunzi, no matter how many times the Qing army in Fujian crosses Taiwan, they just need to keep an eye on me and fight all the way to ensure control of the Tainan area."

In my impression, the battle of the platform was fought by Fukang'an, the firefighting captain, and the reason why Qianlong sent Fukang'an was because the Fujian authorities could not deal with Lin Shuangwen, so they gathered tens of thousands of people to attack Taiwan.

And listed this campaign as the last of the "Shiquan martial arts".

Now, the youngest son of the Fu family has gone to heaven, and the Fujian provincial soldiers can only use a few thousand soldiers at most, so there is nothing to worry about, just let Yang Yuchun exercise.

As for whether he should succeed Fukang'an as Daqing's firefighting captain, Jia Liu is also considering.

It depends on whether Daqing gives him a chance.

"Young master, this Yiltu is very bad, he always wants to drive you out of the capital, should you find out what poems he wrote against the Qing Dynasty and the emperor?"

Shuan Zhu has not been charged with net weaving for a few days, and his hands are a little itchy.

"Forget it, this guy is Fu Zhongtang's brother-in-law, don't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face, don't touch him for now."

Jia Liu really didn't want to tear up his face with Lao Fu now, and to move Yiltu was to move Lao Fu.

In the next few days, on the surface, the entire Beijing Normal University was working on the burial of the Empress Dowager, but in reality there were several big moves, all of which were personnel transfers.

Mainly candidates for Shangshu.

Cai Xin, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, was sentenced by Ming Zhengdian for colluding with the rebels, and Zhou Huang, the former Minister of the Ministry of War, took over the post of Shangshu of Han Dynasty that was vacated.

According to the resumes of important officials in the Qing Dynasty compiled by Shuan Zhu, this Zhou Huang not only served as a minister in the Ministry of War, but also served as a minister in the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment for one year, and then went to Zhejiang as an admiral for two years. expert.

And this Zhou Huang also made friends with the old rich.

This person went to Sichuan to investigate several cases with Yongde, the Minister of Criminal Affairs, in May of the year before last, similar to the special inspectors sent by the imperial court.

Zhou Huang stayed in Sichuan for nearly a year, and had a working acquaintance with Lao Fu, who was the Governor of Sichuan at the time. Jia Liu didn't know whether he became a member of the Fu Party or Mutual Aid Society.

But it is certain that Zhou Huang's succession of Cai Xin as Han Shangshu of the Ministry of War is definitely the beginning of the old Fula's clique.

Yiltu, Minister of the Ministry of War, is Lao Fu's brother-in-law, and with Zhou Huang, the Ministry of War is actually completely in the hands of Lao Fu.

That is to say, in addition to commanding the Beijing Division to garrison the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion, Lao Fu can mobilize the Banner Han soldiers and horses outside the Beijing Division through the two ministers of the Ministry of War.

Gradually, he was no longer a low-profile figure like Boxer.

Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Ying Lian, begged for retirement due to illness, and after the Military Aircraft Department received his begging to retire, Lao Fu proposed an edict in the name of Qianlong to order Ying Lian to return to his family to take care of his illness.

For the sake of Jia Liu's face, the old rich used Yinglian as his base in the Han army, and co-organized it for many years to make up for the vacancies of Han university scholars.

It was to give Yinglian a vice-retirement package.

After receiving the decree, Yinglian wrote a letter requesting to return to Shengjing on the grounds that his ancestral home was Shengjing.

Of course, this letter was definitely not written by Ying Lian himself, but submitted by his grandson-in-law He Shen on his behalf.

Old Fu wished that Yinglian, the minister of state affairs, would go far away, and he didn't tell Qianlong, just let Yinglian pack up his things and leave.

The one who succeeds Ying Lian as Minister of the Ministry of Punishments is Jia Liu's second cousin, Se Kexi, who is also the younger brother of the cousin, Sehentu.

Liang Guozhi, Minister of Military Aircraft, served concurrently as Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and Yuan Shoutong, another Minister of Military Aircraft of the Ministry of Households.

This move shows that Liang Guozhi and Yuan Shoutong, two Han military ministers, have become the backbone of the rich and adulterous party.

Qing Gui, Minister of Military Aircraft, took over from the rebellious Chuoketuo and concurrently took charge of the Ministry of Industry.

Hubu Manshangshu Yonggui was not implicated in related incidents because of his son Yi Jiang'a's friendship with Jia Liu.

When it came time to share the cake, Jia Liu must not be idle, Jingling dispatched at least three fast horses to the capital every day.

Jia Liu's request is that Queenie, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, succeeds Lao Fu as the Minister of Rites;

Retain Heshen Household Minister and Minister of Internal Affairs;
He retained Asiha's position as Minister of the Ministry of Officials and joined the Military Aircraft Office.

In addition, Zhou Yuanli, governor of Zhili, was appointed as the Zuodu censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Yang Jingsu, the governor of Zhili, took over the post of governor of Zhili.

That is to restore the old official Yang to his original post.

For the four appeals, Jia Liu insisted on them to the death, not giving in to any of them.

Old Fu obviously had other ideas, so the two brothers struggled with Jia Liu's four demands for a long time.
