Great Qing Dynasty talker

Chapter 276: For a common goal, the enemy and we put aside the dispute for the time being.

Confirmed eyes, we are all the same!
Hu Zuoyou, the prefect of Yangzhou, changed his usual image of casual thoughts and slammed the table.

He cursed:

"This is an unjust case, purely due to your personal greed for merit and making something out of nothing."

The class leader froze. Seeing everyone looking at him with unkind eyes, a chill instantly rose up from the soles of his feet.

Trembling all over, he said:
"The master of the palace and all the other masters have made it clear. The younger one got the stolen goods together. The prisoner confessed it personally and signed and signed it."

Chang Huoyan, the prefect of Huai'an, was afraid that Lao Hu had insufficient experience in grassroots struggles.
Put the tea bowl on the table, bang~
Successfully grabbed the topic:
"If you dare to say one more word, I will immediately have you taken down and tortured. I am afraid that you will give more than him. Doesn't it mean that you are also a meticulous worker?"

……

The class leader quickly slapped himself, first 4 times hard.

Then he begged:

The class leader rolled back and crawled back.

Soon, her portrait was hung on the Yangzhou Prefecture's sea arrest document. She was charged with "abducting women and children," and a reward was offered for her capture. 20 taels for the dead and 10 taels for the alive.

Liu Qian happened to be in Yangzhou, so he immediately left the city and went to the suburbs. And the spy who was released was interrogated repeatedly to find out what was going on.

In addition, he has family members in Jiangnan, and he doesn't want to harm his family, so he doesn't dare to lie a word.

Liu Qian was sitting on the deck chair outside the house, closing his eyes and concentrating, thinking hard about what was going on.

She stumbled all the way home, shivering and packing up her belongings.

"I haven't wronged you, right?"

"I got it. Send him on his way, he will be considered dead in the line of duty, and he will be able to provide for his family."

Hu Zuoyou waved his hand:

Everyone lamented that water and fire were ruthless. A fire broke out at night, and the whole family of the class leader and the guard dog were burned to death.

Even if I thought about it, I would just think that I had crashed the gentleman's party and caused displeasure. He also told this strange story to his concubine.

"Director."

……

"Yes Yes."

The walls in the house were covered in blood.

"If you know you made a mistake, correct it. There is no greater good. Release him immediately and destroy the file."

"The little one is convinced. The little lard was blinded, and he wanted to make meritorious deeds, and mistakenly arrested a kind passerby."

Magistrate Chang showed a satisfied smile and asked:

Everyone knows Director Liu’s methods. The Intelligence Agency's laws are very strict and cannot be overcome!

As soon as the city gate opened the next morning, he ran away without even hiring a carriage.

I ran to take a look and saw a crowd of onlookers.

Be generous!
Be rational!
Besides, if the prefect wants to whip you, you can come and whip the slave.

If he didn't run away, he would probably die even worse.

"Yes."

After you leave the government office, you are still a master.

These days, human life is as cheap as a piece of grass. It’s not easy to work as a shift leader.

"It's basically correct. It was the Yangzhou government office that deliberately let the water go. Moreover, the squad leader's whole family was burned to death, a typical example of silence. My subordinates concluded that someone secretly helped us cover up. Maybe the prince has arranged someone else?"

She still couldn't figure out what secret the squad leader had uncovered, but she vaguely guessed that it was related to the incident he mentioned and was silenced.

"Ok?"

After all, this is Yangzhou, his territory, and his subordinates.

"No, no, absolutely not."

My concubine is a bit old and can generally accept grievances.

As a result, everyone looked at Magistrate Hu.

With his standing height, he couldn't understand the mystery behind it for a while.

Also frightened and hastily moved were the two bases of the Intelligence Agency.

This man suffered several more severe tortures.

You are the leader of the squad, and only one person is beaten by the prefect. If you are not the squad leader, everyone in Yangzhou would dare to whip you.

It wasn't until early in the morning two days later that she suddenly heard the bad news that something had happened to Ben Tou's family.

Women's intuition is sometimes terrifyingly accurate.

……

The concubine also felt strange, but advised him to endure the calm for a while.

……

Liu Qian said to himself:
"Is it someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Concubine Yang?"

I can only wait for the next opportunity to make some insinuations from the prince's mouth.

He came here this time to carry out an "assassination mission" - to kill Qian Feng.

The prince nodded in approval.

The existence of this person will bring great trouble to Jiangbei.

Another person came and asked softly:

"Director, are the money stabbing operations still going on?"

"Of course. We must kill this person and make the plan more thorough. Don't be afraid of spending money, and don't be afraid of making a big noise."

"Yes."

The original plan was to have a gunman hidden inside the carriage.

First hit Qian Feng's carriage, and then shoot him to death.

As soon as the director opened his mouth, the flintlock gun was replaced with a 1-pound short-barreled French gun, which was directly fixed in the carriage and could be rotated at a small angle to blast away.

The action team purchased gunpowder and kerosene.

They were all bought with money, including "damp and scrapped powder" from the Green Camp Ordnance Warehouse, and "evaporation loss kerosene" from the official warehouse.

People in the Intelligence Agency have a deep understanding of the charm of silver.

Generally speaking, if you have enough money, there is no way you can't buy it.

The Qing court had a very good tradition in this regard. The rules and regulations were all shared by the group. The more people there were, the greater the binding force on each other. The probability of appearing in the second and fifth cubs is very low.

……

Eyes have been spread out to find out about Yangzhou's changes and the government's reaction.

The rest of the people stayed silently in this manor.

On the left side of the manor is the official road and on the right is the river road. In addition to the front and back doors, there is also a tunnel in the garden, which is the best choice for an intelligence base.

It contains firearms and swords, enough to equip hundreds of people!
A dark and strong young man was playing with a flintlock gun in the yard boredly. He did not load any gunpowder, but just looked back and forth.

Liu Qian walked over with his hands behind his back:
"Yang Yuchun, are you afraid?"

"No, not afraid."

He was just a little afraid of Liu Qian. First, he was given sweat medicine, and then imprisoned by Aoying. After three days and three nights of being deprived of sleep, he finally surrendered and joined the Li family army.

Later he was sent to the 2nd Army Corps and narrowly escaped death in the defense battle of Huangshiji outpost fortress.

When Liu Qian visited Miao Youlin, he offered to borrow him for half a month.

Naturally, Miao Youlin, who was on the sick bed, would not refuse and readily agreed. It's just a favor, there is no need to hate this guy who is engaged in intelligence.

Everyone in Jinyiwei is frightened.

……

"After this assassination mission is over, do you want to go back to the 2nd Army or stay in the Intelligence Agency?"

"My subordinate still wants to return to the army. Commander-in-Chief Miao has promoted me to deputy battalion commander."

Liu Qian smiled:

"Why not a full-time position? Logically speaking, you have the ability to capture the flag and can be promoted exceptionally."

"My subordinates are too junior. However, Commander Miao has left the full-time position of his battalion vacant."

Liu Qian nodded, he understood.

There is nothing wrong with holding a deputy position and exercising the power of his official position. Lao Miao is quite good at winning people's hearts.

"Do it well. Indeed, the field army is more suitable for you."

Yang Yuchun chuckled, went to find a whetstone, and polished two sabers, one long and one short.

He was indeed very grateful to Commander Miao for giving him a soldier battalion, which was Miao's old foundation.

Fully armored and equipped with elite weapons, they are much more majestic than the Green Camp.

Without artillery, both sides would fight hand-to-hand, and one battalion of soldiers could easily defeat the two thousand Green Battalion.

……

Yangzhou, the chief envoy's office.

Qian Feng asked:
"When will Hai Dutong return to Yangzhou?"

"Back to Fantai, Hai Dutong is supervising the training of new soldiers in the Jiangbei camp. I'm afraid he won't return to Yangzhou until next month. If there is something urgent, you can go quickly to ask for it. It's only 50 miles away." "No need, go down. Bar."

Qian Feng sat quietly for a while, waiting for the ink on the fold to dry, and then carefully put the fold into a leather tube and painted it with lacquer.

Call for a stagecoach and rush to the capital 600 miles away.

He needs the emperor's full support to thoroughly investigate all the granaries in Jiangbei! Especially those two big warehouses!

"Fantai, someone from the Jiangbei camp is here to see you."

"please come in."

A guard in a yellow mantle raised his hands in salute.

Immediately he said:

"Sir Qian, my subordinate is urging us to provide military supplies according to the military order from Hai Dutong."

"Huh? How much food does the army have? How many days does the food team deliver it?"

……

"The men in the army still have six days of rations, and the war horses only have three days of fodder and coarse grains. The food transport team delivers it every three days, and there is no delay. It's just that the quantity delivered each time is too high."

The guard in the yellow mantle looked a little disdainful. He thought the local government was stingy.

This is in line with the stereotype of southerners from people with roots in Huangcheng - stingy. Every time I count on supplying food, I don’t want to give more.

He wasn't worried about running out of food. It was only fifty or sixty miles from Yangzhou Fucheng to Jiangbei Daying (Yizheng), so he wouldn't be hungry.

Looking at this person’s leaving figure,
Qian Feng suddenly had an ominous premonition, put on his red tassel hat, and walked out of the house:
"Someone is coming."

"Does Fantai want to travel?
"Prepare your horses and go to Yang Ping Cang."

"Whoo."

……

To raise or close a position,
It is the largest granary in the city, supplying food rations to the officials and people in the city.

The carriage rumbled out. In addition to the two servants, four government officials, and four Shaanxi-Gansu Green Battalion cavalry.

Hailancha specially left these four northwest men who were skilled in riding skills and told them to accompany Qian Feng whenever and wherever he traveled.

These four people happily accepted it.

Being an important escort is a beautiful job. Being able to eat in the Yangzhou government office's kitchen, the food quality here is truly the best in the Qing Dynasty.

As soon as they moved, two waves of people followed suit.

They are dressed to look like ordinary people, traffickers and pawns. But he kept staring at the direction of the carriage with his peripheral vision, and walked quickly and slowly!

……

Yangtze River, Yizheng section.

Li Yu carefully observed Jiangbei Camp in the telescope.

It stretches for more than ten miles, with flags flying.

The stretch of beach that is easy to land on is under strict control.

Returning to the cabin, he began to think about the next direction of the battle.

Recently, the Qing army has become more and more active.

Battles of varying scales occurred in She County, Huizhou, and Zhuji, Shaoxing. They were all Qing troops taking the initiative to attack. They were small in size and were all green soldiers.

It was the Qing army that suffered the loss, with casualties starting at five times that of the Li army.

To the west, towards Chizhou Prefecture.

After Agui suffered a loss, he frantically built a camp and recruited troops to train.

Although everyone was overjoyed, they felt that the officers and soldiers were mediocre. But Li Yu smelled something unusual.

Agui is the commander-in-chief of hundreds of battles, and he has never really fought against himself. The Battle of Huangshiji was more like a tactical test, a test to the extreme.

Military reports may be true or false, but only personal experience on the battlefield can be authentic and trustworthy.

……

A few days ago in Jiangning, Liu Qian secretly reported to him that he wanted to assassinate Qian Feng.

After some thought, I approved.

People like Qian Feng are indeed a serious problem.

He is a civil servant and only travels with a small number of escorts. The odds of winning the assassination are not low!
"Records show that there are nine radial roads leading to the surrounding areas from She County, Huizhou Prefecture. Artillery towers were built on steep mountain roads along the way. There were no less than 5 towers on each road, distributed at intervals, so that local troops could defend the local territory."

"The 3rd Army Corps set out from Shaoxing, taking Yiwu first and then Jinhua. Send people to contact Wang Danwang to put pressure."

"Jiangxinzhou Squadron attacked the upper reaches of Dongliu County, making Agui dare not give it a try."

"Inform Economic Minister Fan Jing to put down all matters at hand and ensure the autumn harvest grain collection plan. At the same time, select suitable locations to build large-scale war preparation granaries in Taicang Prefecture, Zhuji County of Shaoxing Prefecture, She County of Huizhou Prefecture, and Qingxi Town of Chizhou Prefecture."

"The autumn grain harvested by each government will be sent to these four granaries nearby."

"Explicitly inform all states, counties, and villages that in areas that actively join the militia, corvee service can be permanently cancelled. In principle, the militiamen do not have to go abroad to fight, and their main purpose is to guard the stability of the county. Let Zhao Erhu do it, and tell him that there will no longer be any If the militia becomes an organized militia, it will either be transferred to the field corps, or it will be on-site guarding the county. At that time, the king will transfer him to the field corps."

……

This series of orders were sent out by fast horses when the boat docked in Jiangyin.

Jiangyin Fort is very large.

It is theoretically impossible for any enemy ship to invade the Grand Canal from the Yangtze River.

Heavy artillery would blast to pieces any ship forced to slow down and turn.

It is impossible for the Qing army's warships to chew through this concrete fort building. This is an epoch-making construction technology.

Apart from being expensive, there is nothing wrong with it.

The cement factory in Changxing County is expanding again and again.

The number of workers has expanded to 4000, which is terrifying. Every household in the nearby villagers has laborers working in the factory.

It is an absolutely resource-intensive industry and a labor-intensive industry.

Li Yuren issued labor protection supplies—jokingly called “face coverings.”

Under the strict order of the foreman, everyone reluctantly put it on.

In this era, no one knows about the dangers of dust, and no one cares about it.

Gradually, some crude hydraulic machines were used in the mines to crush raw materials. Much more efficient than humans.

However, the main force is still humans.

……

Employment issues are always critical.

According to reports from factory managers, workers' loyalty to King Wu was high.

This is not flattery, but real human nature.

Support whoever takes care of your job.

In the agricultural era, it is true that people are hard-working, and it is also true that the labor force is abundant. The two coexist and are not contradictory.

Having a job that pays well, doesn't require skills, and doesn't interfere with the busy farming schedule makes others crazy with envy.

All the idle labor in the surrounding area has been absorbed by the cement factory. In addition to full-time employees, we also take part-time workers.

Li Yu's portrait in military uniform hangs in the cleanest area of ​​the factory.

Riding a white horse, wearing a glittering military uniform, with his sword pointing north, his eyes were determined and his smile was warm.

There is a line of small words vertically on the left side:
Let every common people under the rule eat enough rice with broth!

……

Similar portraits and slogans are hung in military camps, docks, government offices, and directly operated industries and mines.

Written by Jia Xiaozhen of the Publicity Department!

It is said that the prince originally wrote:

Let every common people under the rule have a chicken in the pot.

Jia Xiao was really brave enough to tell him that this goal was too far away.

There were 5 million households in the Qing Dynasty. If each household had a chicken cooked in the pot, they would kill all the chickens in the world and still not be satisfied.

Li Yu thought about it, and it made sense.

So I switched to rice with broth, and everyone thought it was pretty good.

……

Jia Xiaozhen said privately:

If we can achieve the goal of having all the people make rice with broth, even a thousand years later, they will be ranked 3rd among the kings of God in the history books.
As an executor, his name can also occupy twenty or thirty words in the history books.

In this way, you will die without regrets.

The people from the Publicity Department even shamelessly said that the prince's portrait never faded, indicating that he was the real Dragon Emperor.

But they kept silent, and every once in a while they secretly changed into a new pair under the cover of night.

Anyway,

All the seemingly beautiful things in this world often fail to withstand scrutiny.

After careful consideration, life is boring.

Love is fake, ideals are fake, Confucius and Mencius are also fake, only the person lying on the kang is real!
