Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 751 Is Our Friendship Still Pure?

After the ceremony of entering the city, Jia Liu did not immediately convene the Xiangyang civil and military military and political meeting, and began to arrange troops, dispatch troops, sharpen his knives, and carry out the "Huguang Battle" he had preached in various public places as early as in the capital. He first went to visit Chang Qing, the admiral of Yunnan, who was seriously ill.

Chang Qing was born in the Zhenglan Banner of Manchuria. In his early years, he worked as a long-time historian in the Ningjun Prince's Mansion. Later, he went to Burma with General Mingrui. After the defeat, he served as the admiral of Yunnan until now.

A few years ago when the big and small Jinchuan were besieged, the Yunnan green battalion led by Chang Qing contributed a lot.

After Ah Gui was punished for treason, Chang Qing was censored for a period of time.

Lao Fu, who was the governor of Sichuan at that time, wanted to kill Chang Qing, but he was afraid that after killing Chang Qing, the Yunnan Green Camp would not listen to him and even provoke a mutiny. Chang Qing was given a chance to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds.

Later, Shu Jing'an, the left deputy general of Dingxi, led the army into Huguang to pursue the bandits, but failed repeatedly, so Chang Qing brought the Yunnan Green Camp into Huguang to participate in the war.

During this period, I was exhausted in rescuing various ministries like a firefighting captain, and I fell ill after going back and forth and acclimatizing to the environment.

From the beginning of the illness to the present, this illness has been repeated, with good times and bad times, and now he is bedridden, and he can't even get off the ground.

Chang Qing, as an old-timer and old hero of the Eight Banners, of course Jia Liu, the great general, wanted to visit him.

It can also be seen as the respect of the younger generation for the older generation.

For this reason, he specially brought two century-old ginseng that Asiha gave him when he was in Beijing to the place where Changqing recuperated——Guangde Temple in the northwest of Xiangyang City.

The temple was first built in the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, and was originally named Yunju Temple. During the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, it was renamed "Guangde Temple" because of the "Guangde Zen Forest" plaque bestowed by the Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty in the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty.

Knowing that the Great General Wang came to visit Ama, Chang Qing's eldest son, Chang Ximing, was so excited that he hurriedly brought people to the temple gate to greet him.

"Free gift!"

Jia Liu personally stepped forward to help Chang Ximing and asked him how Ama was doing.

"Go back to the prince, I'm Amata"

When it came to Ama's condition, Chang Ximing had a sad face and couldn't speak well, and then he burst into tears. It seemed that Chang Qing's life was not long.

This is a dutiful son, I am not as good as him.

Jia Liu secretly sighed, feeling very uncomfortable.

As far as he knew, Chang Qing's illness was completely caused by exhaustion.

Why are you tired?

Because, on the front line of Huguang, some people are really desperate, some are fake desperate, and some not only don't work hard, but they keep digging holes for their own people to jump into.
Not to mention Changqing, even the resurrection of Nurhachi and Huang Taiji has nothing to do with it.

And the root of all this is him, the Great General King.

It can also be said that he indirectly exhausted Chang Qing, the veteran of the Eight Banners.

After comforting Chang Ximing, Jia Liu came outside Changqing's ward later.

Because Chang Qing was unconscious, Jia Liu waited outside, and casually asked Chang Ximing about the situation of the green camp in Yunnan.

Guo Guangde, a member of the Jiangsu Green Camp, rebelled and killed Marzhan, and the Yunnan Green Camp suffered heavy losses. There were more than 6000 horse infantry in the past, but now less than half remain.

A lot of supplies and equipment have also been discarded. If it wasn't for the Jiangxi Green Camp to hug each other and have Xiangyang City to rely on, I'm afraid the chasing bandit army would have been killed long ago.

Zheng Dajin, the governor of Hubei, replenished some ordnance to the Yunnan Green Camp, but the morale of the army obviously cannot be compared with the past.

Even in Chang Ximing's words, he was afraid of the bandit army.

Just as he was talking, Chang Qing woke up in the ward, and the doctor gave him a sip of medicinal soup to make him feel a little more energetic.

Accompanied by Chang Ximing, Jia Liu came to the room lightly, and found that Chang Qing on the hospital bed looked very thin, with sunken eye sockets, and his whole body was skinny. .

It's really the kind of oil that runs out of oil.

The power of the medicine stone is beyond salvation.

"Old General Chang, this king is here to see you on behalf of the court, don't move, lie down quickly"

Jia Liu held Chang Qing's right hand stretched outside the bed with one hand, and signaled Chang Qing not to struggle with the other hand, let alone salute.

Seeing this, Chang Ximing hurriedly moved a stool for the prince.

Jia Liu sat down, clasped Chang Qing's skinny right hand with his hands together, leaned forward slightly, looked dignified, and his eyes were full of love from his superiors.

"My lord, I'm afraid the last general will die. It's not a pity for the last general to die. I just wish I could follow the lord to kill thieves."

Chang Qing spoke intermittently, and each sentence seemed to be exhausting all his strength, which made people look extremely unbearable.

Jia Liu looked sad, and comforted him: "Old General, don't talk anymore, rest and rest, so that you can recover from your illness, and when you recover from your illness, go kill the thief with me."

Chang Qing shook his head slightly, and said in a weak voice that he might not be able to survive these two days, and he held on to this tone because he wanted to wait for the general king to come over, so that he could offer his advice on suppressing the bandits.

"If these strategies can help the prince. Help the prince to suppress the bandits, the last general will smile even if he dies, Jiuquan Ximing,"

Chang Qing looked at his son with lost luster.

Chang Ximing hurriedly brought over the anti-thief strategy that Ama dictated half a month ago and asked him to write it on his behalf. Jia Liu took it and opened it up for a closer look. They were all very reasonable suggestions.

From the deployment of troops to the deployment of troops, to the operation of food and grass, every item written is the painstaking efforts of a veteran general.

But the last one is a bit strange, Chang Qing actually reminded General Wang to pay attention to the Sichuan army, because he suspected that someone from Sichuan Luying had been secretly colluding with the bandits.

It was no coincidence that Ma Dayuan, the former deputy general of Chongqing, surrendered to the bandits for a while, it seemed like a conspiracy that had been brewing for a long time.

Jia Liu solemnly put Fang Lue away, and asked Chang Qing which generals were available in the Yunnan Green Camp.

Chang Qing said a few people's names, and Jia Liu remembered it in his heart, and he had to say a few words of comfort to Chang Qing before leaving.

I didn't want to go far, when I heard crying from behind, it was actually Chang Qing who died of illness.

Jia Liu let out a long sigh and told Ding Qing, "You can make arrangements to buy a high-quality coffin for Admiral Chang and transport it back to the capital in my special car. All expenses along the way will be paid by General Wang Xingyuan, and 500 taels will be paid in my own name. share money."

After giving these instructions, Jia Liu got on his horse and soon appeared at the Sichuan Lvying camp.

Wang Fu, Zu Yingyuan, Chang Bingzhong, Zhang Dabiao, Bao Guozhong, An Lu, Madrid
Looking at those familiar faces and those eyes hazy with tears, Jia Liu's heart almost melted.

"Captain, you've lost weight!"

Wang Fu's hand was tightly clasped with Master Jia's, and he was a little sad because the captain looked more round than two years ago.

The water and soil in my hometown support people.

"Ah Fu, you have lost weight too."

Jia Liu happily patted Wang Fu's incomparably strong pectoralis major, and then looked at Zu Yingyuan and Lao Chang who were waiting for him to shake hands. His face suddenly became serious, and he snorted unhappily:
"I heard that some of you are going to replace me, saying that a man should be like this, and saying that aliens can also be kings, what are they talking about!

In just two short years, the friendship between us is no longer unbreakable, it has become a pot of gruel! "
