Cixi nodded and looked at the respectful Baylor Zaiyi, "This time Zeng Guoquan is seriously ill, which is both a good thing and a bad thing for the court."
"The good thing is that the big boss of the Hunan Army finally couldn't hold on any longer, and the imperial court also had one less obstacle in the southeast. The bad thing is that Zeng Guoquan had given power to his son-in-law Liu Hai some time ago, and this Liu Hai didn't have much influence on the imperial court.
Enqing needs a person to go to the south to suppress him in order to make the world peaceful."
After Cixi said this, she glanced at Beile Zaiyi and said, "After you go to Liangjiang, you must pay more attention to Liu Hai, slowly weaken his power, and disintegrate the Hunan Army's strength in Liangjiang, but you must control it.
Be careful not to make your bangs anxious."
After hearing what the Empress Dowager Cixi said, Beile Zaiyi felt a little bored. She originally thought it was a good job, but she didn't expect it to be such a troublesome thing.
However, the Empress Dowager Cixi still had to reply, so he stood up and said respectfully: "I understand what Lafayette means. After I went to Liangjiang, I first slowly disintegrated the lower-level generals of the Hunan Army and dispersed Liu Hai's power.
, and then replaced local officials in Liangjiang, bringing Liangjiang back to the imperial court."
Cixi was quite satisfied with these words, but she also knew that it would be more dangerous to let Baile Zaiyi take charge of going to Liangjiang, so Cixi winked at Li Lianying next to her.
Li Lianying quickly took out a copy of Yi Zhi from the table next to him and delivered it to Ci Xi.
Cixi did not take it, but cooed at Baylor Zaiyi, which meant that it would be delivered to him.
Li Lianying quickly delivered Yizhi to Beile Zaiyi.
Baile Zaiyi hurriedly knelt down on the ground and raised his hands to receive the decree.
Empress Dowager Cixi said slowly from above: "If something unexpected happens in the south of the Yangtze River and it is necessary to use weapons, you can rely on this decree to mobilize the Green Camp in the Liangjiang area and the Manchu tribes."
After hearing Cixi's words, Belle Zaiyi finally felt a little more at ease. With this decree, she also had the ability to compete with Liu Hai.
After Beilezaiyi said goodbye to Cixi and returned to his home, he immediately asked his men to prepare their bags. He was going south immediately.
The governor of Liangjiang was going to take office. It was not an easy task. Beilezaiyi first packed up his things at home and brought some clothes with him. Then he ordered his servants to select one or two hundred people, and then he gritted his teeth and picked up some foreigners.
Twenty or thirty muskets were bought there as equipment for these people, and then they dared to take their families down the canal on an official ship.
Liu Hai was not idle at this time either. Ever since he returned to Shanghai, he had sent people to inquire about news from the imperial court.
As expected, Zeng Guoquan really got what he expected. The imperial court did not let Liu Kunyi, who had originally taken over as the governor of Liangjiang, continue to take over as governor. Instead, he appointed a member of the royal family, Beile Zaiyi, as the governor of Liangjiang.
When Liu Hai received the news, he felt very depressed and stayed alone in the study all night.
Although Zeng Guoquan had given him advice, he was still a little uneasy. After all, he was going to intercept and kill the governor of Liangjiang.
But when Liu Hai came out of the study on the second day, his eyes were gleaming and his expression was determined. He knew that if the Qing Dynasty was allowed to do this, his strength in Liangjiang would be limited and even slowly disintegrated.
So on the second day, Liu Hai sent his bodyguard Liu San with more than 100 cyborgs and quietly disappeared into his mansion.
Liu San quietly sneaked into the vicinity of Yangzhou with more than a hundred people. He knew that with the prosperity of Yangzhou and the prosperity of merchants coming and going, the governor of Liangjiang would definitely stop here, reorganize for a while, and then go to Nanjing.
As expected by Liu San, Baylor took Yi to the colorful world of Yangzhou and wanted to take a rest and appreciate the scenery of Yangzhou.
Moreover, Yangzhou was already under his jurisdiction, so there was naturally someone here to receive him attentively.
Salt merchants from all over Yangzhou and the wealthy businessman Fugu, led by the Yangzhou magistrate, had already gathered in Shiliting to welcome the newly appointed governor of Liangjiang.
Beile Zaiyi was already used to being greeted by everyone. She nodded gently to them, then got on the sedan chair and went straight to the Yangzhou Garden to enjoy the gentle countryside.
The governor of Yangzhou was also a smart man. When the governor of Liangjiang took office, he naturally tried his best to curry favor and put almost all the good things in Yangzhou in the governor's garden.
Not only that, they also selected seven or eight handsome Yangzhou thin horses and sent them to Baylor Zaiyi in the name of maid.
Beile Zaiyi was quite satisfied with the other party's careful and cautious service, thinking that after he took office, he would put more burdens on the Yangzhou magistrate.
But he didn't know that there was a pair of sinister eyes in the dark at this time, staring at the Governor's Garden.
Beile Zaiyi had just gotten drunk under the service of those Yangzhou thin horses that night and was resting in the bedroom.
Suddenly, he heard a burst of gunshots outside, and before he could react, his guards had already broken into the bedroom.
"Master Beile, a group of assassins are coming in from outside, please Master Beile and hide quickly."
Baile Zaiyi had never experienced anything like this. When he heard that an assassin was coming, he was so shocked that his face turned pale and he could even walk a little unsteadily.
Several of his guards saw that this was not an option, so they helped him on the left and right and hurriedly left the bedroom.
They came all the way to a small courtyard, and then the courtyard was surrounded by more than 100 of his guards.
Belle Zaiyi finally breathed a sigh of relief as she saw the people around her guarding themselves with swords and guns.
"Have you sent someone out to inform the Yangzhou prefect?"
"When we return to Mr. Beile, the slaves have already sent someone to notify the Yangzhou Prefect. As long as we wait for a while, the Yangzhou Prefect will definitely come with officers and soldiers."
Baile Zaiyi breathed a sigh of relief. Only now did he have time to think about who he had offended, and he was assassinated by a thief on the way to his post.
Beile Zaiyi thought everything was fine, but the gunshots outside were getting closer and closer.
It seems that the escort officers and soldiers assigned to him by the Yangzhou prefect could no longer stop the thieves, and the thieves broke into the inner courtyard.
Beile Zaiyi's heart was slightly calm just now, but now he started to feel uneasy again.
And it was Liu Hai's personal guard Liu San who attacked Beile Zaiyi.
This Liu San has been ambushing Yangzhou for a long time, waiting for the newly appointed governor of Liangjiang.
Baylor Zaiyi was targeted by Liu San as soon as he entered Yangzhou. After Baylor Zaiyi had rested in Yangzhou for a day or two and had just relaxed his vigilance, Liu San began to raid.
And Liu San brought these biochemical people, each of whom was not a good opponent, and they also held advanced 56 and a half rifles. These officers and soldiers sent by the Yangzhou Prefecture to the governor's camp were naturally no match for them, and they were quickly defeated.
If it weren't for the fact that the Governor of Liangjiang was behind him, and if something happened to him, the officers and soldiers would have nothing to eat, and all of them would have fled away long ago.
In this way, these people could not resist, and as time went by, all the officers and soldiers were lost.
But no one on Liu Hai's side was injured. They took the 56 and shot it from a distance, and stabbed it when it entered.
Soon he broke into the inner courtyard of the governor's residence.
Liu San led his people to Beile Zaiyi's bedroom, but no one was found. He immediately knew that the governor had slipped away to hide somewhere.
It was he who randomly grabbed a few maids and maids and asked him about the whereabouts of the governor-general.
These girls showed no hesitation in the face of the ferocious bandits. In no time, they honestly explained to Liu San the whereabouts of Beile Zaiyi.
Liu San learned the whereabouts of the Governor of Liangjiang and immediately led his men to the small courtyard where Beile Zaiyi was hiding.
At this time, Beile Zaiyi's guards also discovered that the strongman had arrived outside the courtyard wall, so they each raised their foreign guns and shot Liu San and the others indiscriminately.
Liu San was caught off guard, and two of his brothers were shot and wounded immediately. Fortunately, these men had undergone strict training and had already started hiding when the other party's gunfire rang out, so there was no serious problem.
Seeing that the opponent dared to resist, Liu San immediately ordered his men to start shooting freely.
As for the biochemicals under Liu San's hands, they have been instilled with Zhinao's skills, and their marksmanship is no different from sharpshooters on the battlefield.
Therefore, in just a few moments, twenty or thirty of the guards on Beile Zaiyi's side fell.
When Baile Zaiyi saw how critical the situation was inside, she jumped up and down anxiously. Looking at the people under her hands, they began to hesitate and dare not move forward.
Beile Zaiyi knew that if he didn't pay a heavy reward at this time, these people would not fight desperately, so he stood in the house and shouted outside: "Everyone, listen, if you want to save Ben Beile this time, wait until it is safe.
The reward is 100 taels of silver, and the reward for killing a bandit is 200 taels."
There is a saying that a big reward must be brave. Originally, these two hundred people were already timid. When they heard such a reward, they immediately rushed forward like chicken blood. The person in front was just shot down, and the person behind immediately picked it up.
He picked up the foreign gun left behind and continued shooting at Liu San and the others on the wall.
In this way, Liu San was unable to do anything to the opponent for a while, but Liu San would not just wait. He winked at the person next to him, and the biochemical man next to him immediately put a wooden box on Liu San from behind.
In front of you, this box contains 10 modern grenades.
When Liu Hai returned to modern times, he bought another batch of grenades for backup, but these batches of grenades were still kept in the warehouse. It was only because Liu San had to do something big this time that Liu Hai specially approved 10 of them.
These 10 grenades are not the same as the current grenades. They are much more powerful. The killing radius of one grenade is six to seven meters.
Liu San took a grenade from the box, opened the safety cover, and suddenly threw it into the courtyard.
The people in the courtyard didn't know what was going on, but they saw a small black thing falling in the courtyard. These people had never seen modern grenades, and they went over curiously to take a look, but suddenly there was a loud noise.
, seven or eight people were blown to pieces on the spot.
