Sir, you have to pay more

What old cousin can help me?

Song Chun looked at it in a daze, wondering what he meant by being a distant cousin.

The person who answered the questions soon arrived - Hao Shuo, the new governor of Jiangxi.

As if pinching a point, Songchun received a letter from a distant cousin, and Hao Futai came to the general's office on the back.

This gentleman was born in the Xianghuang Banner of the Han Army. His father was Hao Yulin, the former governor of Liangjiang, and he was a hereditary captain of cavalry.This year is still young, only 38 years old, but two years ago, he retired early at the age of 36.

The reason is that Yushi impeached Hao Shuo many times, saying that he was greedy during his tenure as governor of Jiangxi, and he had to ask for bribes from his subordinates every time he traveled to treat his "luggage".

After reading the scriptures, Qianlong commented: "Hao Shuo is guilty of the same crime as Cathay, but Cathay has little talent, local affairs are still well known, and the aftermath will be considerable. Hao Shuo has been governor of Jiangxi Province for many years. I asked him about his affairs, but he didn't know. That's right, it's really embarrassing, so I ordered you to resign."

Hao Shuo's official was not dismissed on the grounds of corruption and bribery, but because Hao Shuozou didn't agree with him and ordered him to retire early.

Another governor of Shandong, Guotai, who was impeached by the censor along with Hao Shuo, was given a chance to save because of the local affairs.

From this point of view, whether officials are corrupt and accept bribes, whether they are honest and honest, are not the primary conditions for evaluating officials in the Qing Dynasty.

Qianlong never expected that Hao Shuo, who was called by him to retire early, was rehired by the Military Aircraft Department on the grounds that he was "familiar with Jiangxi Province" because of the collapse of the Jiangxi War.

In fact, apart from the fact that Hao Shuo had served as the governor of Jiangxi for many years, he really knew the human affairs, geographical customs, and military preparations of Jiangxi Province. It was also because Hao Shuo’s father, Hao Yulin, recommended a cabinet named Fu Lehun to the court when he was the right servant of the Ministry of Criminal Justice in his early years. Zhongshu went to the household department to work as a doctor, and then this little Zhongshu prospered as an official, and went straight to the top, and sat on the high position of the chief military minister of the Qing Empire.

Therefore, Hao Shuo, who served as the governor of Jiangxi Province again, was very grateful to his father for a small act of kindness, and immediately wrote to his benefactor Fu Zhongtang to express his firm support and defense.

At the same time, 300 taels of silver are attached.

Picking is a bit picky, but who made Hao Futai pick himself up too.

To what extent is it that a bowl of tea must be steeped in three pots of water before it can be poured out.

All expenses at home must also be accurate to decimal places.

When Mr. Hao was the governor of Jiangxi, all expenses were paid to the public account, even the toilet paper used at home was paid by the public account in the name of office paper.

That is to say, there is no Mr. Hao's land in Nanchang, otherwise he would have to go to his own land to volatilize if he farts.

The governor is the highest leader of a province, and he is a full-fledged official in Xinjiang.

It’s just that Hao Futai, the governor who was restored to his post, did nothing but a name, because the whole province of Jiangxi except Ganzhou had fallen, and he didn’t dare to go to Ganzhou, so after taking office, he had to temporarily hang the signboard of Jiangxi governor’s office in Anqing City .

The funds needed for the operation of the team are also brazenly asking people from Anhui.

If it weren't for the governor of Anhui, Min Eyuan, who was in the same organization as him, he might not have paid any attention to him.

On Anqing's side, due to the dispatch of Liangjiang Governor Gao Jin, a large number of Eight Banners soldiers and local green battalions arrived, which greatly enriched Anqing's city defense force, making the originally precarious situation a bit fortified.

This can be seen from the fact that the thieves who besieged the city have not made a major offensive recently.

General Song Chun of Jiangning, who came to Anqing to command the Eight Banners in person, gave an analysis to the two governors in the city. He believed that most of the rebel army was at the end of their battles, and that the siege of Anqing would be resolved within a month at most. By then, it would not be difficult for all parties to retake Nanchang and Jiujiang with all their strength. .

For this reason, he also sent a letter to Gao Jin, Governor of Liangjiang, requesting that the rear must ensure the supply of money and food to the front line, and that the war opportunity must not be delayed due to food and grass problems.

The situation is relatively optimistic.

Songchun also sincerely wanted to put down the rebellion for the Qing Dynasty. After all, he was also a descendant of Aixinjueluo. The army killed the Qing Dynasty.

But recently, something has caused General Jiang Ning to make a big fuss.

That is, the well-behaved old cousin Jia's sixth son not only suddenly became Prince Yu Duo Duo, but the emperor also decreed him to inherit the position of Prince Rui from the founding regent Dorgon, and then let this old cousin Jia do it again. General Fuyuan, led the Eight Banners of the Beijing Camp and the clan's children to the south to suppress the rebellion, and became the second general king of the Qing Dynasty!
It's really inexplicable, and it's also very confusing.

Not to mention Songchun, the governors, generals, and ministers who did not go to the capital to attend the meeting of princes and ministers from all over the country expressed their disbelief after receiving the official documents from the court.

Fortunately, whether they are descendants of Jia's family or Duoduo's descendants, the six cousins ​​are all his relatives, and this cannot be escaped.

The blood relationship is here.

Well, close or not, after all, they are the third generation.

It's far, but it's not far. Why is my grandma also someone else's aunt.

Moreover, when Jia's old cousin got married with Xin Wangfu Gege a few years ago, he sent him a letter from home. At that time, he specially asked his eldest son Baozhu in Beijing to send 500 taels of congratulatory gift to Uncle Biao on his behalf.

After that, the old cousin of the six sons walked with his old brother and got closer.

During festivals, Qingming Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and July and a half, Songchun would receive letters from his six sons and cousins, and the letters would either send some local specialties or some practical items.

Most of the letters are homely.

In the past two years, he has also given him a lot of treasures, each of which is priceless.

It was these treasures that Songchun didn't dare to take out at all, because one of his staff found that these treasures seemed to have appeared in a booklet produced by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The booklet was called "List of Emperor Daxing Accompanying the Mausoleum".

In Songchun's guess, it may be that the sixth cousin accidentally took the late emperor's things back to his home when he accompanied the emperor to Jingling to visit the mausoleum.

Stay, it doesn't feel right.

Don't stay, and I feel a little bit reluctant.

After several days of psychological struggle, Songchun still kept the things.

One is really reluctant to part with these good things;
The second is to have a fluke mentality.

After all, the news he received showed that the sixth cousin was very popular now, especially when the sixth cousin suddenly became the queen of the general. As a cousin, he no longer had to worry about what would happen to his treasured treasure of the late emperor.

The cousin of the great general Wang presides over the overall situation in Hubei and is responsible for solving the main force of the bandit army.

When his cousin's general Jiang Ning was downstream, he couldn't hold his cousin back.

Songchun is very much looking forward to reuniting with his cousin in Wuchang after recapturing Jiujiang and drinking the celebration wine.

But the letter from my cousin who sent someone suddenly made him puzzled by the second monk Zhang Er, and he was really puzzled.

At this moment, the concierge came to report that it was the governor of Jiangxi who asked to see him.

The governor of Jiangxi is a second-rank official, and General Jiang Ning is a first-rank official. When the Han governor sees the bannerman general, of course he has to ask to see him.

Songchun was so busy that he invited the governor of Jiangxi to come to the office.

Songchun had no impression of Hao Shuo, only that he was the son of Hao Yulin, the former governor of Liangjiang, who was later dismissed by the emperor for committing crimes, and this time the court had to be reinstated because of the war.

As soon as Governor Hao of Jiangxi entered the general's office, he looked around.

Songchun was puzzled, but ordered the staff to step back.

After the people left, Governor Hao immediately changed his face, stepped forward and said in a low voice: "The person sent by the emperor to arrest the general is on the way. If the general intends to run away, the officer can help buy a ticket. If the general wants to go to Xiangyang to attend Prince Rui's call At the meeting of hundreds of officials of the imperial family, the lower official is willing to go with the general."
