Sir, you have to pay more

Jia Liu hurried back to Xiangyang the next day, and he went back secretly, so he knew that there were very few officials that His Majesty returned to Xiangyang City, the land of Longxing.

The provincial delegations were kept in the dark.

Even Governor Bo, who was preparing to celebrate His Majesty's triumphant return ceremony, didn't know about it. He didn't know that the emperor's son-in-law had returned until the virtuous brother suddenly appeared in front of him.

The reason why Jia Liu hurried back was because Wuchang was going to send a secret mission, so he had to make arrangements in advance.

After all, this is the first time Wuchang has sent envoys to negotiate with him since he went south.

Prior to this, the two missions he sent to Wuchang all returned without success, and they couldn't even see the father-in-law.

Although it seemed that the eldest brother-in-law Gu Mingyuan was acting as a hindrance, whoever dared to say that he was not the father-in-law would not want to talk to his son-in-law, or that he was undecided and didn't know how to talk, so he simply asked his nephew to block it for him.

It's not impossible.

After all, Gu Shidao is a bit "roundabout".

It's not the literal-mindedness of a sour scholar, nor is it a conservative one, but the persistence of beliefs and concepts is something that Jia Liu, a son-in-law, can't match anyway.

Where righteousness lies, life can die, and death can lead to life.

The century-long history of resistance against the Qing Dynasty by the adherents of the Ming Dynasty in Jinchuan, as well as the sacrifices they made for it, are beyond the imagination of outsiders.

Therefore, it is of positive significance that Gu Shidao took the initiative to send envoys to contact his son-in-law this time.

Moreover, the person sent here was Chen Huizu, who had been advocating peace talks with him in Wuchang recently, so the implication is more worthy of scrutiny.

According to Deputy Director Ji's analysis, there are three reasons why Wuchang took the initiative to send people to discuss this time.

First, it must be that His Majesty proclaimed himself emperor before the army, openly fighting against Qianlong and stimulating Wuchang;

Second, it was the result of His Majesty sending his wife and children to Wuchang to "visit relatives";

The third, of course, is because of the increasingly tense situation within the Xinghan Army.

Whatever the reason, it's a good thing for the moment.

It's not that Jia Liu can't deal with the Xinghan army militarily. If he really makes up his mind, there will be an upsurge in the Xinghan army immediately.

After all, his infiltration of the Xinghan Army started at the same time as the military and the government.

How can the Xinghan army in civil strife resist his tens of thousands of elite soldiers?
The reason why they wanted to compromise in exchange for the surrender of the Xinghan army was mainly because they did not want to resume the war, which would cause the people of the three provinces to suffer another crime.

Since the Xinghan army came out of Sichuan, although there are no specific statistics, the number of military and civilian casualties in Hubei Province reported by Hubei Governor Zheng Dajin is as high as more than [-].

Jiangxi and Hunan provinces will probably not be lower than this figure.

That is, in the past two years, at least 200 million people in the three provinces died in the war.

This loss cannot be prevented by anyone.

No matter how good the military discipline is, the same is true.

Prosperity, people suffer; death, people suffer.

A mere eight words already explained everything.

The price of a military solution is to separate the people of the three provinces from their wives and children again.

Therefore, Jia Liu tried his best to prevent this tragedy from happening again.

At the same time, the political solution is also a kind of respect for the righteous fighters who persisted in fighting against the Qing Dynasty.

For this reason, I don't mind being discussed in private by my subordinates.

His decisiveness in killing has never been used on the people.

How to talk, how to talk, what consensus can be reached, and what can not be reached, all need Jia Liu to take charge of it himself.

Therefore, he had to rush back to Xiangyang.

Secondly, the elder cousin Songchun urgently sent someone to send a letter, saying that it was the second cousin of the aunt's grandma's family who heard that the cousin of the uncle's family proclaimed himself emperor in front of the army after annihilating the Yongxuan tribe. Immediately, he sent someone to proclaim his ministership, but instead ordered his troops to mobilize to go north and return to the capital, leaving the Huguang theater.

That is to leave the sphere of influence of his cousin Jia Liu.

It probably means that if you don't fight or go with me, you won't succeed.

Of course, in order to prevent the leak of the news from being intercepted by troops loyal to his cousin, Wu Er has been hiding the truth from his eldest cousin, Song Chun. So I sent someone out of the city to deliver a letter to my cousin as soon as possible.

The main force of the Second Ukrainian Army is about ten regiments with about [-] people in the Central Army, which belong to the Zhengbai Banner Guard Army, Huqiang, Shanpu Second Battalion, and Jianrui Battalion respectively.

Whether it is combat effectiveness or weapons and equipment, they are much higher than Lao Fu's coat, Yuanmingyuan guards, and firearms.

After all, Wu Er's father, Prince An, is a leader of the Central Army, and he was the first to snatch the fruits of the Central Army during the palace chaos, faster than Jia Liu.

As a result, Jia Liu had no choice but to hang up a military guard card with the capital green battalion himself. There was no way for the Central Army to snatch it all.

In addition to the central army of about [-] people, Wu Er also surrendered part of the Xinghan army in the south of De'an. In addition, he also recruited some bandits and local militia groups. There are also about [-] people.

In view of this, Jia Liu then ordered the second and third towns of the new army to focus on De'an for surveillance. In case there is any sign of Wuer and Yongxuan joining together, these two troops that have not yet been reorganized will undertake the task of blocking and diverting.

The third is that the chairman who has high morals, regards life and death as nothing, and devotes himself wholeheartedly to the development of Gongjin Association, and personally developed Sichuan into the first model province of Gongjin has arrived.

Even though he is His Majesty the Emperor, Jia Liu respects and admires President Li very much.

In addition to making great contributions to the development of the Gongjin Association, Chairman Li also greatly supported the industry established by Jia Liu in Zhili.

Without the loan from the Bank of Sichuan, what would Jia Liu do to develop.

I'm afraid I won't even be able to pay my salary.

Thinking of the president's well-being, before entering the city, he deliberately stopped at a roadside stall and bought a bundle of juicy carrots to bring to the president.

Soon, President Li, who was sleeping, was urgently awakened to the governor's office, followed by another closed-door meeting.

There are only three people in this meeting.

President, Vice President, Honorary President.

Due to the high level of confidentiality of the meeting, there was not even a recorder.

"People say that a carrot is better than a thousand-year-old ginseng. The president and Ama both taste it."

Jia Liu gave Lao Li and Lao Bo each a carrot that he had washed himself.

Ah!
Not to mention, it's very crispy to the bite, it doesn't numb your mouth, and it doesn't smell bad when you fart. It's a good thing.

After eating half a carrot, Lao Li and Lao Bo realized that they hadn't saluted the emperor, and now "Ba Ba" had to kneel three times and kowtow nine times while shaking his sleeves.

"Are you two looking down on me?"

How could Jia Liu make two highly respected seniors kneel down to him? He hurriedly stopped it on the grounds that this was an internal meeting of the Gongjinhui, not an imperial court meeting.

Public and private, he is very clear.

The two elders looked at each other, both satisfied: among other things, Guizi Liu is really good at dealing with people and the world, it's hard to dislike him.

So, while eating radishes, Jia Liu told Wuchang that Tong Wuer, the envoy from Wuchang, was about to return to the north.

"The situation is like this. I wonder what the president and Ama think? You two know, and I don't have to listen to other people's opinions, but in my mind, your opinions are like Mount Tai. I can't do it without listening. "

Jia Liu didn't put on airs at all, and was busy coming and going.

Either make tea for the two presidents, pass cigarettes to the two presidents, or take a knife to peel the pears in the fruit plate for the two presidents.

"Talk, you can talk about anything, there is nothing that cannot be discussed in this world. As long as Wuchang can formally obey His Majesty and give up the anti-Qing and Fuming slogans, I think they can be given a certain amount of autonomy, such as removing braids and restoring clothes, Your Majesty It’s fine to go and sweep Chongzhen’s tomb.”

President Li and Vice President Bo have the same attitude. They both believe that Wuchang can make appropriate concessions at the moment, as long as they don't continue to clamor against the Qing and restore the Ming Dynasty, and don't openly oppose the Qing Dynasty after setting up the Ming Dynasty.

Afterwards, after His Majesty's Northern Expedition to recover the capital and fully integrate the northern forces, then use military force to solve it.

It probably means to accumulate food widely, build cities high, and kill you when the wings are hardened.

In other words, settle inside first, and then fight outside.

Whether it can be done or not, Jia Liu has his own ideas, but right now he doesn't want the North and the South to go to war at the same time.

Therefore, let the two presidents talk to Chen Hui ancestors on their own behalf to see what the other party's bottom line is.

Of course, the identity of the head of the regiment, Chen Huizu, cannot be made public. After all, this guy is the number one traitor of the Qing Dynasty.

Where Wu Er is, Jia Liu means to fight.

No fight!
Wu Er would rather run away than regard himself as the emperor, does he have any relatives in this eyes!

Anyway, it's a representative!
Jia Liu was in a hurry, so he invited his aunt, grandma, and old couple who had been dead for decades to come out and ask how to educate his children and grandchildren.

Lao Bo also agreed to solve Wu Er's military affairs, because his side had just won the great victory in Niuxinzhai, when the soldiers were strong and their morale was high, it was easy to kill Wu Er in one go.

At most, some troops will be lost, and more pensions will be given.

"I thought I could make way for them,"

Chairman Li put forward a different opinion, thinking that it is better to let Wu Er go north because of his efforts to solve Wu Er.

"The situation in the capital is like the two ends of the weight. Now neither side has an advantage, so the weight maintains a balance. But if one side suddenly gains more weight, do you think the weight can still maintain balance?"

The meaning of the chairman is very simple, since Prince An did not express his support for his eldest nephew to proclaim himself emperor, let him fight with Qianlong.

Reap the benefits of the fisherman.

"Ginger is still old and spicy!"

Jia Liuda scolded himself for being confused, and only thought that he would settle all parties, why didn't he think of letting the two dogs in Beijing bite first.

If Wu Er brought the more than 2 troops back to the capital, even if Uncle Se had no intention of confronting Qianlong, Qianlong might be in trouble himself, so he would have to act first.

"I can see it."

Lao Bo nodded in agreement, thought of something, and asked: "By the way, since my brother has proclaimed himself emperor, did you ever choose the year name?"

"I'm worried about this too."

Jia Liu talked about the four year names proposed by Ji Yun, and then said that he didn't like any of them.

"Meiji, Guangxu, Jiaqing, Xuantong?"

The old Bo thought about these four year names carefully, but he felt that no matter which one was very majestic, it was also very compelling, why did the virtuous brother and son-in-law despise any of them.

Lao Li put the small half of the carrot in his hand on the table, tapped his fingers lightly, thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Your Majesty's mind is that these year names are too traditional and not in line with His Majesty's determination to innovate. Spirit, it's not like taking the reform as the year name.

Although Zhou Bang was old, his order was renewed. Doesn't it just show that His Majesty was ordered by heaven to lead the army and the people of the Qing Dynasty to reform together in order to make progress. "

reform?

Jia Liu was stunned.

The old Bo was also stunned, and he thought of a sentence: "He monopolizes the country for profit, and cannot establish a new dynasty.
