Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 758
Ji Yun didn't actually meet the rightful master, that is, Gu Shidao, Jia Liu's father-in-law and commander of the Xinghan Army, but Gu Mingyuan, Gu Shidao's nephew.

This person is the son of Gu Shiwen, elder brother of Gu Shidao, and he and Yuanyuan are uncles and siblings.

In other words, he is Jia Liu's eldest brother-in-law and his son Keqing's uncle.

However, this brother-in-law is quite capable, and he is implicitly the second-generation leader within the Xinghan Army, and he has won the support of the group of Ming Dynasty adherents who rushed out of Jinchuan.

Gu Mingyuan was on the frontline commanding the Xinghan Army's great victory at Yunmen in Chongqing.

Later, when he rushed out of Sichuan and invaded Huguang, Gu Mingyuan led his troops to the front, and he paid great attention to the connection with Huguang civil society members.

During the siege of Huguang, the troops of the Xinghan Army were often hundreds of miles away, but their envoys had already contacted the local community members, and they were very effective in assassination, instigation, and internal response.

Under the suggestion of members of the community, Qiu Ba and others, Gu Mingyuan vigorously recruited fishermen along the Yangtze River to organize the navy of the Xinghan Army, which laid the foundation for the subsequent attack on Jingzhou Mancheng.

After capturing Wuchang, Gu Shidao let his nephew Mingyuan build the navy of the Xinghan Army. Under the leadership of Gu Mingyuan, the navy of the Xinghan Army now has more than 400 warships and more than [-] soldiers. A dominant force in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River.

Of course, apart from Gu Mingyuan's emphasis on the development of the navy, the credit for this is also related to the collective surrender of the Qing army's Dongting Lake navy.

After Gu An, the third generation of the Gu family, led his troops to attack Hunan, Gu Mingyuan suggested that his uncle Gu Shidao reorganize the various departments of the Xinghan Army and form twelve armies.

In addition, the second-line troops (local defense) are scattered and add up to nearly 3 people in more than a dozen divisions. The combat effectiveness of these second-line troops is not high, and the quality of the soldiers is uneven. , but the victory lies in the large number of people, which played a big role in the local rule of the Xinghan Army.

The number of soldiers in the main force ranges from [-] to [-], and their combat effectiveness varies. Among them, the Second Army, Fourth Army, Sixth Army, and Tenth Army include naval forces, and there are about [-] people in the Under the command of Gu Shidao's nephew Gu An and Jinglue Bayan, they are attacking Anqing.

The first, third, fifth, seventh, eighth, and ninth armies defended against the Qing army in Hubei.

The No.11 and No.12 armies maneuvered in Hunan and Jiangxi. Apart from clearing out some remaining Qing troops in western Hunan, the two armies mainly took on the combat mission against Ganzhou.

Except for Zhou Linwang of the Sixth Army, Ma Dayuan of the Seventh Army, and Guo Guangde of the Ninth Army, the commanders of the other nine armies are all direct descendants of the Xinghan Army, including Qiu Ba's Third Army stationed in Anlu.

The reorganization of the army brought the overall strength of the Xinghan Army to a higher level. In addition, it defeated General Feng Dingxi of the Qing Dynasty and achieved the second victory in Wuchang. The momentum of the Xinghan Army was very high for a while.

Chen Huizu, the former governor of Huguang in the Qing Dynasty who descended to the past, offered his troops to capture Nanjing and pay homage to Xiaoling Mausoleum, imitating the Northern Expedition of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty. This undoubtedly made the Xinghan Army more "aggressive" inside, and many people have forgotten it. How they were surrounded and beaten by the Qing army for a hundred years, they only wanted to restore the Han Dynasty, and they were positive and optimistic about it.

In this way, Jia Liu, who is wholeheartedly throwing out olive branches, is not welcomed by others.

In this regard, Jia Liu actually knows something, but he didn't expect that his brother-in-law Gu Mingyuan would not allow his envoy to go to Wuchang to meet his uncle Gu Shidao.

In other words, this brother-in-law was a bit self-assertive, emptied Jia Liu's father-in-law, and cut off the connection with his brother-in-law.

It's a bit of a feeling of alienation.

Gu Mingyuan himself undoubtedly hated and hated the Qing court very much. In addition to the fact that the survivors of the Ming Dynasty in Jinchuan were related to the century-old blood feud with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they also had a lot to do with the Gu family's resistance to the Qing Dynasty for generations and their loyalty.

However, the key reason for Gu Mingyuan's refusal to negotiate peace with his "brother-in-law" lies in another person.

This person is Jia Liu's old acquaintance Lu Yuanguang.

Mr. Lu Qian from back then has now transformed into the commander of the First Army of the Xinghan Army.

It was also under Lu Yuanguang's persuasion that Gu Mingyuan did not allow his brother-in-law's envoy to go to Wuchang, and proposed a condition that his brother-in-law could not accept at all-hand over to Qianlong.

Why didn't Lu Yuanguang want to talk to the Great General Wang of the Qing Dynasty?

The reason is that he knows that this great general is too watery, he is simply a covetous person who is afraid of death, and he doesn't know how to fight at all, he is a complete waste.

That being the case, why talk about it?

The Qing army has the ability to call here!

If you don't have the ability to fight, what do you use to talk to us?
"They said that as long as the prince surrenders to the emperor, he can be given a comfortable treatment over there."

When Ji Yun said this, he secretly looked at Wang Ye's expression, and sure enough, anger, unwillingness, hatred, and grievance suddenly appeared on Wang Ye's face.

"It's simply deceiving people too much. I was the king of the Great General in the Qing Dynasty. It can be said that one person is under one man and over ten thousand people. What's the matter, I am just a marquis when I voted?"

Jia Liu was so angry that his teeth itch, whenever the brother-in-law said he would be treated like a prince, he would not be so angry.

"Who gave them the courage to say such ignorant words!"

In anger, Jia Liu smashed a few wooden boards used to practice Taekwondo with one punch, and it seemed that the peace talks could not continue, because it was impossible for the old Fu and Mr. Se to agree to hand over Qianlong.

Moreover, handing over Qianlong means that Jia Liu will lose the opportunity to add the imperial robe and completely surrender to the Xinghan army, which he absolutely cannot tolerate.

The pressure was completely on Jia Liu's side.

Therefore, under Ji Yun's proposal, an enlarged meeting before the joint army was held.

All the key members of the Co-Progression Association with four or more ranks in Xiangyang came to the meeting.

Everyone was there soon, except for Zu Yingyuan, the admiral of Huguang, who led the troops to strengthen the defense of Wusheng Pass, and Wang Fu, who went to Zhili to train troops, everyone else was there.

Looking at a large group of generals, Jia Liu was honest and straight to the point: "The peace talks have broken down, and they don't accept my favor at all, so I called you here to discuss what to do next."

After a pause, my cheeks twitched, and I said with some difficulty: "Of course, I am the one who insists on peace talks. I may have made a big mistake in this matter, and I am a bit self-righteous, so we must also criticize and self-criticize."

After hearing this, Chang Bingzhong couldn't help being curious: "Captain, who should you criticize first?"

Jia Liu sighed softly: "Criticize me first, after all, I am very responsible for this matter."

Scanning everyone: "Everyone speak freely, don't have any scruples, if I can't hear the truth here, where can I hear the truth?"

"Okay, I'll take the lead first!"

Zhang Dabiao got up angrily, "I have long felt that your lord's affairs are too unreliable, and your ideas are too childish. Even if you really want to talk, you have to fight first before talking! How can you ask someone to talk without hitting! What's the difference between that and a fool?"

Hearing this, Jia Liu frowned: "Da Biao, it's a criticism of me."

"I'm criticizing my lord,"

Zhang Dabiao hated that iron could not be made into steel, "My lord gave me the feeling this time that he was too naive, and my brothers have long been disgusted with it."

"I told you not to have any scruples, but you don't have to be unscrupulous either. That's all for criticism. Let's be more realistic and talk about how to fight."

Jia Liu coughed lightly, signaling to the clerk who was recording beside him to cut off the episode just now.

The direction of the meeting suddenly changed, and everyone had a heated debate on how to fight.

In the end, I came to the conclusion that we should fight, fight hard, and fight hard.
