Chapter 1070 Engine Start

This is the second question he wants to figure out, what is the purpose of the Australians.

There will be no pie in the sky. The Australians showed such great enthusiasm for the Denglei rebellion that they obviously had their own purpose.

Asking others to help, in the final analysis, is just an exchange of benefits.Right now, you may not be able to exchange benefits for a while, it depends on how much benefits you will have in exchange in the future.

What are the Australians trying to do?Sun Yuanhua was very puzzled.

Incomprehension is incomprehension, the two sides have tacitly agreed on this matter.That night, Lu Yang and Lu Wenyuan entertained Sun Yuanhua in the inner hall.

The food and drink were very simple, and everyone was not focused on eating and drinking. Seeing that the wine was over for three rounds, Lu Wenyuan sent everyone around him out, and the two sides immediately had a heart-to-heart discussion on "in-depth cooperation".

Sun Yuanhua put forward the request of "borrowing teachers to assist in the suppression". Specifically, he asked them to send naval forces to blockade Dengzhou to prevent Dengzhou from colluding with Dongjiang.

As for his plan, it is also very simple.He planned to go straight to Laizhou early the next morning, collect the remnants there, and at the same time ask Yu Dacheng for help, and stick to Laizhou and Qingzhou with the support of reinforcements.

Historically, it was the persistence of Xie Lian, governor of Denglai, and Xu Congzhi, governor of Shandong, in Laizhou that limited the range of activities of the rebels to the Denglai area, thus giving the imperial court the opportunity to mobilize reinforcements to attack.

Lu Wenyuan also agrees with this very much. If Sun Yuanhua does not enter Laizhou, he will not be able to do anything, and he will not be able to explain his whereabouts. From the perspective of taking the initiative, the sooner he arrives in Laizhou, the better.

"It's just that I only have three servants around me now, so I have to ask Master Lu to send someone to see me off."

"It's easy to say, easy to say." Lu Wenyuan nodded, "I will send a fast boat to take you to Laizhou tomorrow. As for you, sir," he thought for a while, "only three servants may not be enough, and even one assistant to handle the documents nothing……"

Sun Yuanhua was right when he thought about it: all his staff and servants were trapped in the city, and there was not even a person who helped to handle the documents.

Although Laizhou is also within its own jurisdiction, its governor and the local county magistrate and magistrate are not in a subordinate relationship.After I lost Dengzhou, it was still unknown what these officials would do to me.If you don't bring your own team, I'm afraid no one will pour you a glass of water when you want to drink it.

Lu Wenyuan then said that he had prepared a team of servants, including masters, servants, servants and maidservants, who would go with him to Laizhou together.

"They are all Catholics, and most of them are local people in Shandong." In order to weaken Sun Yuanhua's vigilance, he said deliberately.

It is true that most of these people were local people from Shandong. After all, Sun Yuanhua went to Laizhou to go deep into a dangerous place, so there was no need to send too many naturalized people.People like servants and servants are recruited from local refugees.Only a few were naturalized people.Among them, the assistant secretary is a naturalized citizen from Zhejiang Province. He was originally a scholar. Instead, he was thrown out by the master's family for his failure in "Xuemu".

This person was sent to prison in Leizhou because he had no money to manage, and was almost tortured to death. In order to recruit naturalized people who were "suffering and hating" at the Leizhou station, they searched the prisons at the prefectural and county levels in Leizhou. Just rescued him, a dying, unlucky bastard.This time, he was specially sent to Shandong and arranged to be beside Sun Yuanhua.

As for the blockade of Dengzhou, Lu Wenyuan fully agreed—first of all, this is not a problem, and secondly, whether the blockade depends on the need—they will not blockade Dengzhou until Kong Youde has been fattened up.Historically, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians from Dongjiang defected to Kong's subordinates in Dengzhou. Seventy-eight thousand people came from Chen Shishi alone.

As for the return, Lu Wenyuan set out the conditions of the Senate:
[-]. Sun Yuanhua tacitly allowed them to act cheaply in the Denglai area: including buying land with false identities, hiring workers, and taking in refugees, allowing them to freely transfer people out of Shandong.And provide all convenience.

[-]. Australian ships can enter and exit freely at all ports in the Denglei area.

[-]. Australians are allowed to freely practice Xiangyong in the Denglaiqing area, and they are given a name.

[-]. Sun Yuanhua is not allowed to move the troops under the Australians arbitrarily, and can only communicate with Lu Wenyuan through his contacts.

[-]. Sun Yuanhua subsidized a certain amount of food and wages for the rural bravery compiled by Australians.

Regarding the last item, Lu Wenyuan expressed magnanimously that considering his current situation, he did not specify a specific number, as long as he could supply a little as appropriate.

At the same time, Lu Wenyuan also expressed his position: All Australians' bravery and navy will not use the Australian flag, but use the name of local bravery.Rating

Sun Yuanhua thought over and over again, and thought that these five conditions were not too much.Immediately agreed to all.

The two sides reached an agreement, and they had a good time drinking and talking.Lu Wenyuan reminded:
"Sir, please write a letter to Xu Xiangguo and Zhou Xiangguo before you go to Laizhou—the students will arrange a ship to go to Tianjin Wei."

"Yes, yes, I'm confused!" Sun Yuanhua repeated.He secretly blamed himself for being excited and forgetting about this important event.

Xu Guangqi is his mentor and in-laws, and Zhou Yanru is the person he fills with money and is his greatest support in the court. They must inform the situation as soon as possible so that they can speak for themselves in the court.

Of course, I can't talk about my being captured, and I can't talk about private discussions with the Australians.But you might as well be more specific about your next step and plan.

After deliberating, Sun Yuanhua wrote letters to Xu Guangqi, Zhou Yanru, Secretary of the Ministry of War Xiong Mingyu, and a dozen other officials who had connections with the court and could be cited as Austrian aid, and handed them to Lu Wenyuan after sealing them.

"I'll arrange for someone to go to each house to submit a letter." Lu Wenyuan said, "If there is a reply, I will also bring it."

"I'm afraid the reply won't be so fast..."

"It doesn't matter, sir, just add a sentence on the cover of the letter: Please send the reply to Qiweizhan, the capital. It will be delivered within three to five days."

"Okay." Sun Yuanhua nodded again and again, the Australians are really meticulous in their work!

Lu Wenyuan took care of Sun Yuanhua's luggage, prepared a fast boat, and sent him to Laizhou early the next morning.He called his master again, pointed to him and said.

"From now on, if you have anything to do, you can ask this gentleman to pass it on. If the students have any news, they will also report to you through him."

Knowing that Sun Yuanhua could not fully trust this master, it is better to simply give him the status of "contact person", so that Sun dare not underestimate him.

At this time, Cheng Lingsu came over with a package.Sun Yuanhua glanced suspiciously.

"My lord, please take a look." Lu Wenyuan said with a smile.

When he opened it, he found that it was the guard of his governor Denglai.Sun Yuanhua couldn't help being taken aback. His governor Guanfang was lost after the fall, probably taken captive by the rebels.I didn't expect to see them here again—where did they come from?

However, if you look closely, this defense is not the original one.Although the whole pass was done perfectly, even the serial number was exactly the same when it was cast by the Ministry of Industry—even there were gaps and strokes on the edge of the serial number, but he could still feel that it was a fake seal.

"This……"

He looked at Lu Wenyuan——although losing the great seal has caused a lot of inconvenience, which is also one of the "crimes", but rashly using a fake seal is not beautiful once it is discovered.

Lu Wenyuan's caregiver brought the rice paper and stamped the big seal on it.The cinnabar-colored red seal was printed on the snow-white rice paper, and Sun Yuanhua was taken aback again—the strokes of the fake seals were heavy and worn, no matter how skilled the seal craftsman was, they couldn't make them exactly the same.However, the handwriting printed on this seal is almost exactly the same as his original one.

Considering that Sun Yuanhua was unlikely to find his governor's seal at the same time when he was rescued, the intelligence personnel in Dengzhou City began to collect various notices and documents of Sun Yuanhua and sent them to Qimu Island a few months ago.After the seal on the document was scanned with high precision, it was stored as a digital file and sent to Lingao by express ship. It was processed by computer in Zhou Dongtian's printing factory, and then printed by the joint processing center.As for the great seal itself, it was found from historical materials.As for the various details on the seal, Huang Ande managed to take pictures with a digital camera once.Therefore, all the details are available after production.Finally, the aging process is carried out according to the photos.

Lu Wenyuan just smiled slightly, he believed that Sun Yuanhua would not raise any objections to this.He is out of trouble now, and he has the defense of Governor Denglai in his hands, which is like adding wings to a tiger.

In the end, Sun Yuanhua just handed over his hands to thank him--with relevant defenses in hand, no matter what he did, it was much more convenient.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Sun Yuanhua arrived in Laizhou by boat under the escort of Qimudao Xiangyong.The magistrate of Laizhou was in a panic. There were many rumors outside. Some said that Sun Yuanhua was dead, and some said that Sun Yuanhua was a prisoner.He sent someone to emergency to Yu Dacheng, but Yu Dacheng was helpless after receiving the news of the fall of Dengzhou, and hid in the Fuyuan to chant sutras.The subordinates and officials secretly called him "Bai Lian Du Yuan".The people sent by the prefect of Laizhou did not receive any instructions, let alone reinforcements.

Without any hesitation, Sun Yuanhua came suddenly. The magistrate of Laizhou was both surprised and happy. He was so happy that he finally had a backbone. There were dozens of servants, so they immediately opened the city to let Sun Yuanhua enter Laizhou, and immediately asked people to arrange to clean up the school as Sun Yuanhua's governor.

As soon as Sun Yuanhua settled down, he immediately wrote a letter to Yu Dacheng and sent Sun Yuan to send it immediately.He knew very well that together with this rebellion, Yu Dacheng and him "shared fate".In terms of how to deal with it, the two must maintain a coordinated position.

Yu Dacheng was at most indirectly responsible for Kong Youde's rebellion. As long as he dealt with it well, it is very likely that he will be punished and continue to serve.With him in Shandong, there will be more room for maneuver in the future.

After that, he immediately started writing the memorial.
