Great Qing Dynasty talker

Chapter 205: If you can get the human heart, try to get it as much as possible

Chapter 205: If you can get the human heart, try to get it as much as possible

The Forbidden City was in turmoil, and the ministers were terrified.

Because the old emperor had always been in good health and had few diseases.

The hospital judge from Taiyuan Hospital hurried over to check his pulse and said a lot of specious things.

All the princes had their own evil intentions, and they knelt in front of the Yangxin Hall and were filled with grief.

As a result, Qianlong suddenly woke up in the middle of the night and slowly exhaled.

As if nothing was wrong, he began to mobilize his troops and dictate orders. He was unusually calm and his eyes were fierce.

The ministers were so excited that they shouted long live the Qing Dynasty and escaped another disaster!

……

Suzhou Fudao Qian Street,

In the former Jiangsu Governor's Office, two vertical wooden boards were hung at the door, with red letters on a white background.

They are "Jiangnan Security and Security Corps Training Office" and "Jiangnan General Chamber of Commerce"

Four armed guards stood on both sides.

This is the headquarters of Li Jiajun!

In addition to Li Yu working here, civil officer Fan Jing also works in the second hall.

The original six-family houses were converted into various institutions.

The infantry, cavalry, artillery, navy, and baggage crews each occupy one room.

There is also the Strategic Publicity Department, which occupies one of the innermost rooms.

Internally nicknamed it New Six.

Many people are surprised why the Propaganda Department and various military services are placed in one place.

Slowly, they will discover how vicious the scholars in the Publicity Department are.

A bald pen, but as powerful as a 36-pound cannon.

It not only pokes at the enemy's weakness, but also educates (teaches) and governs the people.

……

Li Yu led his troops south to attack Jiaxing Prefecture.

Fan Jing is sitting at the headquarters and only sleeps 2 hours a day during a busy day.

But full of energy and high spirits.

He was constantly approving various official documents and dictating orders from time to time. The secretary sitting in the corner listened and wrote as he went. After he reviewed them, he signed them with his seal.

"Master Fan, how should the various treasuries be handled?"

"All the treasury outside the city will be evacuated and merged into the city. Priority will be given to Suzhou and Songjiang Prefecture, followed by Taicang Prefecture, Jinshan Guard, and Wujiang County. The treasury guards will be incorporated into the city defense army."

"Master Fan, does the grain that is moored at Xujiang Wharf (part of the grain from two provinces intercepted by Mr. Hu privately signing an official document) need to be unloaded?"

"Thirty ships were unloaded into the warehouse, and the remaining 30 ships were kept intact and reserved for military rations. Just watch them carefully."

"Master Fan, how are firearms and various materials distributed?"

"The original inventory remains unchanged. From now on, all materials produced daily will be distributed city by city. According to the ratio of 3 parts for the prefectural city and 1 part for the county city, they will be deposited in the city. Let the transportation fleet of the Logistics and Supply Administration be responsible for the transportation."

People kept coming in, asking for instructions and then leaving.

Plop, one person was in too much haste and tripped over the threshold.

Fan Jing frowned: "Find a carpenter to saw off all the thresholds here."

"Yes."

The Lord values efficiency and doesn't care about red tape.

As a follower, Fan Jing naturally saw it.

……

I was busy until the evening, when the sun went down.

"Master Fan, it's time to eat."

"it is good."

Fan Jing put the dish in the rice, grabbed the chopsticks and started to chop it with astonishing speed.

After finishing the meal, he picked up the tea and took a big sip.

Swallowed.

"Take it away."

The woman in the kitchen was shocked when she saw it, and secretly lamented that the officials in the new yamen seemed to have no airs.

I walk with the wind every day and stay busy until late at night.

It seems that life will definitely be easier in the future, there are too many great masters in Qingtian.

"Master Fan, those dog officials who are under house arrest want to see the lord."

"Well, I'll go there."

At the very back of the official office, in a row of rooms in the corner.

Dozens of frightened officials and gentry of the government were sitting or lying down.

Huang Wenyun looked particularly calm. He kept his eyes closed and remained silent.

In the past few days, he had almost thought everything through. I made a mistake and protected a super villain.

Suddenly, the cell door opened.

The guard knocked on the door knocker with his scabbard and shouted:

"Everyone, get up, Master Fan wants to summon you."

He quickly lit up the three oil lamps on the wall.

……

Fan Jing entered the room and waved his hand. The smell was foul and unpleasant.

Archway:

"My lord has planted a flag to start an uprising. The Li family's army has taken over the six Jiangnan mansions. You guys, think carefully about your choice. Those who are willing to be loyal can ask the guards for paper and pen, write a statement of repentance, and a letter of allegiance."

An old man in the corner stood up unsteadily:

"Confucius said Cheng Ren, Mencius said Qi Yi, I am a professor in my house, how can I bend my back and serve the thieves?"

Fan Jing sneered: "Here comes someone to help you."

The two guards immediately escorted Professor Fu out.

Under the moonlight, the sword flashed and the head fell to the ground.

"The Qing emperor liked to confiscate the homes of criminals and send them into exile, and their female relatives were sent to the Jiaofangsi. I, the Li family army, can also follow suit."

"Master Huang, what do you think?"

Huang Wenyun opened his mouth with difficulty, but no words came out.

Fan Jing was still very kind to him.

"Master Huang, you are my lord's old friend and acquaintance. My lord also appreciates your talents. Are you willing to take the lead?"

"Can you please let me go out and see what the world has become?"

"Hahahaha, of course."

Fan Jing was in a happy mood, and the prefect called him an official in front of him.

With a wave of his hand, people can follow Huang Wenyun and move around freely in the government office.

……

Outside the back door of the government office, a group of patrolling musketeers caught Huang Wenyun's attention.

He walks neatly and has confidence in his eyes.

The muskets on the shoulders all seemed to come from the same mold.

"Is this Li Yu's elite?"

The attendant glared at him and replied:

"These are armed militias. The real Li family army is the one inside."

Huang Wenyun walked to the spacious courtyard of the government office.

Four musketeer battalion soldiers happened to be changing the guard.

He was wearing a brand new uniform, red and black, with clanging military boots.

The armed belt around his waist is even more novel, exuding a sense of competence.

He knew the flintlock.

I just feel that it is different from the equipment of the officers and soldiers, and seems to be more advanced.

While strolling around, Chief Fan came.

The two of them happened to look at each other, very surprised.

Patriarch Fan bowed awkwardly and then went to the second hall to meet his good son-in-law Fan Jing.

"He surrendered too?"

"Master Huang is wrong. Patriarch Fan has long been a loyal subordinate of the lord. He has worked very hard to sell his property to raise military pay for the lord."

Huang Wenyun didn't speak for a long time, his expression was very exciting.

"I see, I see. There must be countless secret bases hidden in Taihu Lake, right?"

The attendant made no reply.

Such secrets cannot be answered casually.

After a while, Huang Wenyun looked at Fan Jing with a sad look in his eyes:

"Master Fan, I am willing to surrender. But my family members are all in Jiujiang, I hope~"

"Understood, I will send a ship to pick them all up. Mr. Huang, please quickly write a letter as proof, right?"

"well."

Huang Wenyun abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side, and soon many government officials followed suit.

Because they all wanted to understand one thing.

The court would not spare them. They provided too many conveniences and even shelter to Li Yu on his way to fortune.

Even a counter-attack is a capital offense!

……

Zhang Youdao, the magistrate of Yuanhe County, and Li Yuanwu, the magistrate of Wu County, both happily changed their families.

They were too involved with Li Yu, and there was no possibility of them going ashore.

In a sudden change, they all became the tentacles of the Li family's army to rule the house.

It’s just for both use and defense!

People's hearts are separated from each other, and trust is a luxury.

Li Yu doesn't trust anyone easily and rarely worries about it.

Just like Miao Youlin and Wang Liu, although they are not trusted, it does not affect their reuse.

All subordinates are loyal from the heart, without any selfishness. This is an absurd request, as absurd as immortality.

At this time, Miao Youlin was kneeling in front of Li Yuma.

Respectfully:

"My subordinate Miao Youlin led all 1000 of his men to pay homage to the lord, including 100 gunners, 300 sword and shield soldiers, 50 archers, and the rest are spearmen."

"Get up and order your troops to be the vanguard and lure the Jiaxing Association into battle. In this battle, as long as you lure out the main force of the Jiaxing Association, it will be your first success."

Li Yu paused, leaned down and whispered:

"When Jiangnan is initially decided, I will allocate a piece of land to you. You are a capable person, and you will definitely be able to build a barrier in the direction of Hangzhou and defend Su Song."

Miao Youlin was overjoyed, so surprised that he made two loud noises.

"Wei Jun is here too?"

"Meet the lord."

"Well, get up. We are old acquaintances, and we have joined hands since we first established ourselves in Lijiabao by the Shihu Lake."

Miao Youlin stood aside, his eyes glistening.

Among the team, the one he fears the most is Wei Jun.

He is neither his confidant nor his lord's brother-in-law.

I don't know how to deal with it.

……

"Who is this?"

"Zhuojing Changjin is from the Jinchuan tribe and is a good bow and arrow wielder."

Li Yu looked up and down in admiration:

"A strange woman, the seven thousand people in Jinchuan are all heroes."

Chang Jin's eyes were red, and he was unexpectedly touched in his heart.

The old village was breached, and the scene of blood and fire reappeared before our eyes again.

Li Yu took off the short-handed gun from his waist and threw it to her along with the gunpowder and lead.

"Hold it for self-defense."

"Thank you, my lord."

"Work hard, avenge the Jinchuan folks, and kill a few more Qing soldiers. Sooner or later, our army will conquer Jinchuan from the west." Miao Youlin felt bitter in his heart, and he could see it.

With just a few words and a short-handed blunderbuss, the Lord gained another loyal heart.

And the owner of this heart is lying next to him.

loyalty!

Miao Youlin took Man No. 100 to explore the road first.

They were purposely dressed in the rags of clothing, poorly armed, and unshaven.

It crossed the boundary stone between Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces and acted as a bait.

And the large group of people set up camp on the spot.

Li Yu sat on a big rock and spread out the map.

70 miles ahead is Jiaxing Fucheng.

And to the southeast of Jiaxing Fucheng, 80 miles away is Zhapu City!

The main force of the Zhapu Navy is the flag camp, which has more than 20 warships and more than 500 sailors.

There is also a large fort facing the sea.

It was an important hub that Li Yu decided to win.

……

Miao Youlin led his men to commit two crimes in the suburbs of Jiaxing Prefecture.

He robbed a bank and killed two government officials who went to the countryside to collect taxes.

However, the garrison in Fucheng remained unmoved.

So he had no choice but to add more money.

"Did you find out clearly?"

"The old house of Jiaxing Vice-General is right by the canal. The Chen family is a big family, with a total of more than 200 members."

"Then don't blame me for being cruel."

Chenjiazhuang, more than 200 households.

If you rely on mountains, you will eat mountains. If you rely on water, you will eat water. If you rely on canals, you will naturally eat canals.

The boat docks and provides exclusive food and vegetables.

He also participated in the distribution of fresh goods in Jiaxing Prefecture, making considerable profits.

Old Mrs. Chen, surrounded by several domestic slaves, went to the teahouse by the river to relax every day.

Make a bowl of green tea and listen to music.

Looking down at the merchant ships passing by on the canal, life was very relaxing.

Miao Youlin and his men suddenly rushed into Zhuangzi at noon.

The only two patrol officers were hacked to death on the spot.

After that, rush along the street.

According to the information of stepping on the plate, he broke into Chen's old house in one breath.

The man from Qingfeng Village is an old bandit from the green forest.

Soon, two carts of gold and silver were collected.

He also conveniently tied up Mrs. Chen's fifth concubine with a flower ticket.

……

Old Mrs. Chen was so furious that he immediately took a boat into Jiaxing City.

He found his son and cried, asking for troops to be sent to rescue his little mother.

"Dad, in these troubled times, Jiaxing City cannot afford to lose anything. There are more than 1000 soldiers in the city and they cannot be mobilized casually."

"Ah, you stupid son of a bitch. That's your little mother. If it's a few days later, I'm afraid~"

Vice General Chen was scolded so badly that he was in a state of embarrassment.

His father was so angry that he went to the magistrate's Yamen on crutches for a review.

"Dad, stop scolding, stop scolding."

"Then you send troops?"

"send."

Vice General Chen sent someone to inquire and found out that these bandits were not many in number and had crude weapons, only swords.

If it can be won, it can be regarded as a military achievement.

So, he informed the Jiaxing magistrate in the name of suppressing bandits.

Pull out 1000 people from the two battalions of 800 people.

The main focus is to fight a tiger against a rabbit and return quickly.

Miao Youlin soon found out about Jiaxing Xiekai.

Because he placed two hidden stakes outside the city gate, as soon as he saw the army leaving the city.

One person goes back to report, and one person monitors along the way.

He led his troops to commit crimes along the way, slowly attracting Jiaxing Xie to the north.

On the bank of the canal, the two sides fought once.

Miao Youlin knew human nature well and made Chen Shenjiang's little mother miserable.

The light, like a pig, was thrown on the official road.

A wooden sign was erected next to it, featuring a precise humiliation.

……

Vice General Chen was enraged and ordered two groups to pursue and encircle the bold bandits.

He wanted to cut off these people's heads with his own hands and hang them outside Chenjiazhuang.

Otherwise, Chen will lose all face.

The Green Camp troops marched slowly, covering 2 miles in two days.

Miao Youlin was very nervous, his bait was thrilling.

Jiaxing Xie went crazy and refused to let go. In one day, there were three battles.

He has already lost more than 30 brothers and is in a state of embarrassment.

Mainly because they didn't carry long-range weapons.

Although Green Camp is not strong in combat, he is good at bullying others.

A long way away is a plume of arrows, and then it rushes towards them.

He seemed to have returned to the days when he was on the run in northern Zhejiang, and he was also suppressed and beaten by a group of soldiers.

As soon as the war started, the people fled one after another.

Miao Youlin panicked all the way and fled into an uninhabited village.

It turned out that there was no way forward.

The village is surrounded by water on three sides and is blocked.

"Master, what should I do?"

"Hold tight and wait for the lord's large army to arrive. These officers and soldiers are not enough to watch."

"Is it really that powerful?"

"Hmph, it depends on whether you can survive until that moment. The era of big blades has passed, and firearms are king."

……

People from the Jiaxing Association arrived one after another and surrounded the village.

They were very excited, trying to catch a turtle in a jar.

Vice General Chen smiled cruelly:

"Bring in the gunners and archers."

Suddenly there was a commotion, and then someone rushed over.

"General, there are unknown troops, many in number."

"unknown?"

Vice General Chen pushed the commander away and rode his horse to a nearby hilly slope.

Looking around, I feel chilly.

An army with bright military uniforms and strange flags was silently unfolding its formation.

"Artillery? Self-propelled musket?"

He started to tremble. Why did this look like the legendary foreign musketeers?

……

Li Yu sat on the horse, opened his telescope and looked around.

After a rough calculation, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's get started. Show off your firepower first, and then persuade them to surrender. Many projects in western Zhejiang require free labor."

"As ordered."

The gunners first pushed the 10 artillery pieces forward slowly.

A large group of musketeers followed closely behind.

After approaching a distance of 1 mile, stop.

"The shooting angle is 4 degrees, let go."

The artillery spewed white smoke and fired solid bullets.

With a low firing angle, solid bullets can bounce more times after hitting the ground, causing greater casualties.

The gathered shield array could not stop him at all, and the people flew up like bowling balls.

This distance is very bullying.

The Jiaxing Association could not reach the Li Jiajun, but the Li Jiajun could use their firepower calmly.

Because the Jiaxing Association has no cavalry and no artillery.

After four salvoes, the artillery stopped firing.

They began to persuade them to surrender in unison: "Surrender without killing."

With each shout, the formation moved forward three steps.

The flat end of the musket creates psychological pressure.

Jiaxing Xie's green battalion soldiers began to be shaken and many people put down their weapons.

Lieutenant General Chen noticed something was wrong, so he threw away his armor and helmet and prepared to swim in the river.

Swimming is a very useful skill.

This is especially important for the Green Camp soldiers fighting in Jiangnan.

Miao Youlin, who was guarding the village, wanted to take revenge.

I dragged two small sampans across and fished the people out.

The spear faced him, and Vice General Chen obediently became a prisoner.

……

"Tell them to take off all their uniforms."

"Miao Youlin, after your troops changed their clothes, they went to deceive Jiaxing City under their banner. The soldiers are very fast, so hurry up."

Li Yu's plan was to fight in the south of the Yangtze River with as little bloodshed as possible.

The more bleeding, the greater the damage.

The resistance to later rule will be greater.

Although it is said that as long as the guns are sharp and enough people are killed, Jiangnan will not dare to say a word.

But, this is the human heart.

If you can get it, try to get it.

the next morning,

As soon as the city gate of Jiaxing opened, a team of people playing and playing music was ushered in.

He cursed and was rude and undisciplined all the way.

The city gate officer stretched his waist and said with a smile:

"Those grandsons from Green Camp are bragging about their great victory again."

The soldier next to him was wielding a spear and chewing a grass stem and said:

"I don't know where I borrowed the head."
