Chapter 145 Zhejiang Bureau

The master of the ministry was of course referring to He Guiqing's nominal immediate superior, and Wang Yide, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang. However, when Wang Yide was mentioned, even Wang Youling had a headache.

The censors in the lower head were unable to speak, and the censor Yan Censhu still made an old proposal: "Although the admiral Deng Shaoliang's troops were in Ningguo, they were the Zhejiang army and also ate Zhejiang's wages. Instead of waiting for the Jiangnan camp to come to help, it would be better to ask the admiral Deng to return to Zhejiang to preside over the overall situation."

He Guiqing has loosened on this issue, but he also has difficulties: "The thieves such as Yang Fuqing, the leader of Changmao, have been willing to take southern Anhui all year round, and then enter Zhejiang from Ningguo Mansion. Now our Zhejiang Province is no longer able to deal with the red thieves. If you don't have more hairs to enter the country, what should you do?"

However, he immediately added: "However, can a general be selected from Deng Shaoliang's army to lead a elite army back to Zhejiang, Fantai, and Nitai? "

The governor Han Chun was an indecisive person. He kept saying: "So good, so good!"

The inspector Yan Duanshu insisted that he had already seen it: "Deng Shaoliang's entire army must return to Zhejiang. Although the Red thieves have captured all Wenzhou counties, the two prefectures of Taizhou are still in full swing. Most of them have not been harmed by the Red thieves. If they do not extinguish them now, I am afraid they will regret it at that time!"

But He Guiqing was very proud and his suggestion was not very popular with him. He still mentioned the old thing: "I'd better think about how to deal with Wang Butang?"

"Although Wang Butang took over the hot potato in Wenzhou, he has now submitted a memorial to the center, saying that the red thief Liu family captured Taiping County, intending to do all Taiwan. If it is not cleared in time, there will be endless troubles. I will only eliminate the thieves in Taizhou within one month. Tell me, how should I deal with it?"

Wang Yide was extremely skilled in this trick. Not only could the center not find any fault, but even the officials involved in Zhejiang could not find any fault. But the problem is that not to mention the removal of Taizhou’s entire prefecture in one month, it would be difficult to subdue Liu Juehuo even in three months.

Thinking of this, Wang Youling took the lead and said: "Mindang is in Fuzhou and is a little unfamiliar with the situation in Zhejiang. Liu Juehu's thief is always the most brave among the red thieves. He has hundreds of real hair, more than a thousand foreign guns and dozens of heavy artillery. This time he rushed to Xianju. If it weren't for the fact that the general Wu Hongchuan fought to the death in the face of the battle and stood firm in Jinyun County, he would probably have merged with Ni Tingmo. The whole situation in Zhejiang was decayed. Such a thief, so it could be cleared up in a limited time!"

Yan Duanshu also said: "Xuexuan is right. Even if Deng Shaoliang returns to Zhejiang or leads troops to help, it will be difficult to clear Taizhou within one month. Liu Juehu's stock is really long-haired, unlike ordinary stock gangs."

Everyone's idea is the same, that is, Liu Juehu's red thief is too brave to fight, and it is impossible to eliminate it within a time limit. He Guiqing didn't know: "Liu Juehu's thief led the generals as the ministry said. There were not many soldiers, only four or five thousand people, but Taizhou was defending the government. The bandits often sent light troops deep into Huangyan territory. Although I sent 3,700 soldiers and 20,000 taels of military salary, according to the letter from the front line generals, I must never go out of the city to attack. If I go out of the city, I will be hit by the waves, and if I go out of the waves, I will be frustrated. Now that Huangyan is preserved, Linhai has already supported it, and there is no question of counterattacking Taiping."

"I'm working hard here and barely maintaining the situation, but Wang Butang's trick made me unable to get out of the way!"

After He Guiqing said this, Wang Youling, as his many years of close friends, immediately came up with an idea: "What is the right thing about Futai? You should not go out of the city to attack. If you are greedy for combat power and go out of the city to attack, you will not only not be able to win, but will easily suffer major setbacks. However, now Wangbutang has set a date for the next month. If it fails, all the officials in Zhejiang Province are responsible."

"Xuexuan, give me an idea!" He Guiqing had already shook his head repeatedly: "Just have an idea."

"This matter is simple, as long as Wang Butang refuses to pursue the investigation!" Wang Youling took out the firewood from the bottom of the pot: "As long as Wang Butang refuses to pursue the investigation, everything can be left alone."

The governor Han Chun was a Hanlin. Although he was incompetent, the joints of the officialdom were clear: "Brother Xuexuan, you said this badly! Wangbutang could be angry with our Zhejiang Province. Although he pinched the Wenzhou Prefecture and took it over, he insisted on protecting Fuzhou was to recover Wenzhou and refused to go out to Wenzhou to take more responsibility. Even so, the Red thieves went south to Funing Prefecture, and the five counties of Funing Prefecture were captured by the Red thieves, and the city was trapped in a heavy siege. The matter started from Zhejiang. How could Wangbutang not be angry with Zhejiang?"

No matter what, the disaster of the Red Turban Army was indeed caused by Zhejiang. Wang Yide can be regarded as a causeless victim. It would be strange if he didn't have any objections to Zhejiang. It was just Wang Youling: "Fan Tai, what is this matter? But Wang Butang must have a bit of difficulty in maintaining the Fujian Bureau. What is he most lacking now?"

"Feed shortage!" He Guiqing slapped the table and shouted: "That's right, Fujian is short of salary, why did I forget this!"

Compared to Zhejiang, Fujian is not a wealthy province, and the inventory of silver has never been much. For this reason, he wanted to attack Zhejiang many times. He Guiqing had to deal with too much autumn wind, but he just barely managed it. This time, the Red Turban Army went south and Fujian's military expenditure was huge. Now Wang Yide must have to deal with it. However, He Guiqing saw a bright road.

He heard that Wang Yide even set up a bank bureau in Fujian and issued money invoices everywhere. Now he is on the verge of collapse. He just thought about it carefully: "This matter is difficult to handle, and it is extremely difficult to handle!"

If you want to transport silver from Zhejiang to Fujian, the most convenient way is to take the sea route, but there is a pirate fleet of Ge Wuye on the sea route, so you can no longer walk by sea. As for land routes, there are now thieves everywhere in Wenzhou and the two counties are not convenient to walk by. The only way is to detour Jiangxi and transfer to Fujian.

Just when he thought of Jiangxi, He Guiqing thought of another thing: "I heard that Zeng Guofan sent someone to Xuexuan some time ago, you asked for money and scolded you?"

Wang Youling nodded: "Give him some face, but he stepped on my face and said that our Zhejiang Province usually spends money like soil, spends money like soil, and spends money like soil! How hard it is to raise some military pay in Zhejiang Province and how much incest we are, we end up getting a reputation of spending money like soil, and I ask him to go back."

He Guiqing's small group and Zeng Guofan's Hunan Army have always been in conflict. In history, these two groups have fought hard. He Guiqing's death was also the result of Zeng Guofan's stabbing behind the scenes. Although it is still to the point of life and death in history, the rift between these two groups is also well known.

"Then you can't leave Jiangxi!"

Jiangxi is the territory of the Hunan Army. Not to mention that Jiangxi has always been uneasy. The Taiping Army often enters the country in large quantities and even reaches the provincial capital. Even if it is the Hunan Army who is in charge of Jiangxi Province now, the cooperation funding given to Fujian cannot detour to Jiangxi.

Since Zhejiang can provide joint wages to Fujian, why can't it provide joint wages to Jiangxi? I'm afraid that this incident will be a loss-making result when both sides suffer. Not to mention that Zeng Guofan's false Taoism has always been ruthless in his attempts. Maybe the military wages will inexplicably become the private silver of the Hunan Army when he arrived in Jiangxi, and He Guiqing could not even be reimbursed afterwards.

"You can't even walk in Jiangxi? You can't walk by land, and you can't walk on the sea route!" He Guiqing was embarrassed for a moment: "Xuexuan, should you take risks?"

Seeing that He Guiqing was so embarrassed, Wang Youling made a suggestion: "I know a reliable businessman, Hu..."

"Hu Guangyong, Hu Xueyan! You have met several times, but he is a person who can do things." He Guiqing had some impression of Hu Xueyan: "Will this joint salary be handed over to the commercial office?"

"Just hand it over to the commercial office. Just pull out the silver from the provincial treasury, and then Hu Xueyan finds a way to transfer the silver to Wangbutang in Fuzhou, and then let him return to Hangzhou to reimburse him!"

To act as a vassal treasury, this was originally the way for Hu Xueyan and Shanxi money houses to make a fortune. He Guiqing was very interested: "This policy is feasible? If there is any loss in the transportation of money, how should we solve it?"

"Recently Futai asked Hu Xueyan to explain the money and money to Jiangnan camp, this is the way!" Wang Youling told He Guiqing: "They set up branch numbers between the money shops, and the most money shops in Fujian are saved. There is no need to send real silver to the money shops, so they can smooth the bills!"

"This method is very good! This method is very good!" He Guiqing immediately said: "The provincial treasury will pull out 20,000 taels of silver, and let Hu Xueyan find wealthy merchants to protect it, and get to Fujian Province as soon as possible."

These 20,000 provinces are just a start. Zhejiang lacks strong soldiers and good generals, but it does not lack military pay. As long as Wang Yide can be satisfied temporarily, He Guiqing doesn't care about paying more military pay: "It's better to let Wang's house produce a surprise soldier and directly penetrate the nest of the red thief in Wenzhou! By the way, Xuexuan, what good strategies do you have for Taizhou war defense?"

Wang Youling solved such a big problem for him, so he was naturally willing to express closer, and Wang Youling did not disappoint his expectations: "This time Liu Juehu cannot escape west, but his intention to advance north is still firm. I am afraid that I will take my Huangyan and Linhai City!"

"Huangyan is the military town garrison, and Linhai is the capital city!" He Guiqing had a strong memory and knew the situation in Taizhou: "If these two cities fall into Liu Jue, Taizhou will not be defended!"

"Taizhou is not easy to defend but is conducive to attack!" Wang Youling has read many military books and has a deep understanding of the situation in Taizhou: "If the thief traps these two cities, he will inevitably go north and west again. If they are allowed to conquer the good people, there will be difficulties in the two counties of Ningbo and Jinhua!"

He Guiqing is very clear about this principle: "So my soldiers must stick to Huangyan and Linhai City, and they must not be misunderstood. Not long ago, Duan Jinghu recommended Su Jingrong and Mou Yinan to me, saying that they were both loyal and righteous people from Taizhou Prefecture and had deep hatred with the Red Thief. If Liu thief invades Huangyan and Linhai, these two will definitely fight the Red Thief to death, and I also entrust them to the name..."

He slowed down: "But from Duan Jinghu's tone, these two people were unwilling to help our army defend Huang Yan, and were only willing to guerrilla plagiarize Liu Juehu in the countryside. Now Jiangnan Camp and Deng Shaoliang are both slow down and helpless. Xuexuan, what tricks can you do to defeat the thief?"

ps: I am rushing for the fourth update, maybe more than twelve o'clock, but I will definitely get out
