After the war, Duke Yan summoned Tu Guobao, the envoy from the right.
When the two old friends met, the atmosphere was a bit tense, because Tu Guobao was desperate and the Qing government sent Zhang Dayou, the new governor of Jiangning.
This Zhang Futai is from Liaodong. He was originally the general of Wei Qian of Guangning in the Ming Dynasty. However, he surrendered to the Later Jin Dynasty 25 years ago. He is considered a veteran of the Eight Banners of the Later Jin Dynasty and Han Dynasty. He was especially successful in pacifying Shanxi and Guanzhong.
For his military exploits, he was awarded the title of Third Class Elite Qinihafan.
No matter in terms of qualifications or abilities, they are far superior to Tu Guo Bao.
The Qing government sent Zhang Dayou to Jiangnan for a simple purpose: to replace the local national treasure and try to restore stability to Jiangnan and stabilize the money bag.
Kangkara was also sent to garrison Suzhou.
If it weren't for the Ming army moving south, and both Zhang Dayou and Kang Kara having to guard against the Ming army, Tu Guobao would have been locked up and brought to Beijing. It has not been locked yet, but Tu Guobao already knows his fate.
"I never thought that Mr. Yan was actually the spy of the Nine Kings." Tu Guobao said astonishingly.
Mr. Yan's hand when pouring tea was very steady.
"Fantai, please don't talk nonsense."
"I have evidence." Tu Guobao lowered his voice a little, and then began to count his evidence in detail, such as how Yan Wogong helped him redeem the city when he lost Suzhou for the first time, and even murdered Li Shutai, etc.
.
One by one.
But Mr. Yan didn't panic at all.
"These are not your evidence. Is there anything more direct?"
Tu Guobao stared at Mr. Yan, "Mr. Yan is really calm, but I don't know if I send these evidences that you call not evidence to Ma Guozhu or even the regent. Will they still believe you?"
?”
Mr. Yan picked up the tea cup and tasted it slowly.
"Fantai is about to die, so you want someone to take your place? You don't even care about my kindness to you, and you want to retaliate? Are you deliberately wronging me?"
"There is no one else here, and there is no need for Mr. Yan to tell such lies anymore. We all know what is going on. I couldn't believe this fact at first, but as long as there are seeds of doubt, they will take root and sprout. I used
After a lot of thought and careful investigation, I finally determined that this is the fact, an astonishing fact."
Mr. Yan drank tea and said nothing.
He was thinking about one thing. It was normal for Tu Guobao to suspect him. However, he did not inform the Qing court directly, but came to tell him this. This was undoubtedly to use it as a bargaining chip.
"The feudal lord must also know some news about Beijing. The regent is very dissatisfied with you for losing Suzhou three times, especially since you are the governor of Jiangning and the governor of the Susongtai area, which is the richest land in the south of the Yangtze River, but you have not done anything for it.
The imperial court collected a grain of grain and a penny, but spent a lot of money on it, even causing the imperial court to lose troops and generals in the south of the Yangtze River many times."
"Not to mention the Green Camp, the Eight Banners of Manchuria alone lost nearly 3,000 people in Jiangnan. Three thousand Eight Banners of Manchuria. Do you know how angry the princes in Beijing were? How many people did the Eight Banners have? As a result, this short
There has been no war for several months, and three thousand have been wasted little by little?"
"How many bannermen in Beijing want to take you back and eat you alive."
"You can't escape this disaster. After the war is settled, Zhang Dayou will come up with a secret decree and arrest you and send you to Beijing. You will be executed in the Beijing vegetable market, or even executed at Lingchi."
Tu Guobao laughed a few times.
"I have been through life and death for Manchuria, but now they are eager to kill me,"
"Mr. Yan, I admire you very much. You have the courage to play this game with the Tatars, and you can even play it so well. Li Yuchun, Bolo, Zhang Cunren, Duoduo and even the regent Dorgon, one after another
You've been fooling me around, and you've kept me in the dark. How do you think you've managed to do this as a human being?"
However, Duke Yan continued to ask, "What does Fan Tai plan to do now?"
Tu Guobao sighed, "I just want to find a way to survive. Isn't it a big deal for Mr. Yan?"
Lord Yan looked at him and laughed.
"You're quite interesting."
Tu Guobao only said that he wanted a way to survive, but he did not say that he planned to surrender.
"What do you think of Jiangzhouying's surrender?" Yan Wogong asked.
"In my opinion, this is inevitable. Since the rise of Nalu Supervisor and the Nine Kings Brothers, these Green Camp soldiers who defected to the Qing Dynasty will sooner or later follow this path.
During this period of time, it is no longer unusual for the Green Camp in the south of the Yangtze River to be destroyed, surrendered, and rebelled. Speaking of which, Duke Yan also contributed a lot to this.
The nine kings sent out troops to conquer and won consecutive battles. Yan Gong was reorganizing the Green Camp in the rear. With these two-pronged approach, the Green Camp in the south of the Yangtze River was completely collapsed.
Those Green Camp officers could not take advantage of their salary, nor could they withhold pay, nor could they even plunder and solicit donations, so what could they do with their little salary? Even if Mr. Yan gave them a salary increase, the officers' income would still be pitiful.
Even the subordinate officials in the prefecture and county yamen are thinking of ways to make money. The officers are doing hard work and they are not willing to give money. Who will?"
"The reason why the Ming army couldn't fight and why they surrendered to the Qing Dynasty was because the court couldn't give them money."
Due to external military pressure and various internal oppressions, it was natural for the Green Camp to collapse.
Yan Wogong's reorganization of the green camps in Jiangnan seems to be the right path, but under the current situation, this kind of reorganization is just to force these green camps to rebel.
After all, you only allow this and not that, and you have not seriously considered the actual situation of the Qing soldiers and cannot increase their salaries and military pay. This naturally forces them to rob or even choose to surrender to the enemy.
Although the Imperial Camp of the Nine Kings has strict military disciplines and prohibits false claims of pay, it is still able to provide generous salaries to its soldiers. Not only are the soldiers' pay two or three times that of the Green Camp, but the officers' remuneration is even better.
The minister's silver and so on add up to tens of thousands taels, the total soldiers also have five or six thousand taels, and any battalion officer has several thousand taels.
Low-level officers such as the commander-in-chief of the team, the commander-in-chief Qian, and the commander-in-chief of the post also have generous salaries. If Lu Jianguo and Jiu Wang can find ways to make money to provide priority for the army and support the soldiers, the imperial camp will naturally be willing to accept strict military regulations.
And with a generous pension, naturally he would dare to fight and be able to fight.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This is the same as the favorable treatment given by the Tatars to the Eight Banners soldiers. Why can the Eight Banners fight?
How many times the treatment of Eight Banners is that of Green Camp?
If a bagala dies in battle, he will receive 200 taels of silver. If a horse-armored soldier dies in battle, he will receive 150 taels of silver. Even an armored coat will receive 100 taels of silver if he dies in battle. But how much will a green battalion get if he dies in battle?
If a horseman dies in battle, he will receive seventy taels, and if an infantryman dies, he will receive fifty taels.
But these must be named in the military register, but many Green Camp soldiers are not in the official military register, they are overstaffed by the generals. These soldiers died without a penny.
They are also serving as soldiers to fight, but in the end, they have to divide the Eight Banners, the Eight Banners of Mongolia, the Eight Banners of Han Dynasty, and the Green Camp, whether they are enrolled soldiers or not. The Green Camp's treatment is only a fraction or even less than one-tenth of other people's.
It was fine when there was no war, and you could just dawdle at most, but now you get up earlier than chickens, do more work than cows, eat worse than pigs, and your life is always in danger, so naturally you can't continue doing this job.
Tu Guobao is a very greedy person, and he is very greedy, so he also knows the role of money very well.
"Bashan is about to take the 258 Banners to the Zhenjiang camp to take over the defense. Chen Jin, the admiral of Caojiang, and Zhang Dayou, the governor of Jiangning, will go with him. Why not go to Fantai?" Yan Igong poured him a cup of tea.
"What does Mr. Yan mean?" Tu Guobao was a little confused by this sentence, "Does it mean that even if a horse gains power, it will turn against him?"
Yan Woggong held the tea cup and said to himself, "Chen Jin is guilty of a lot of crimes this time. Of course, with his qualifications, he may still have a chance, but if he dies, there will be no chance. Zhang Dayou
also the same."
"Do you want to be the admiral Cao Jiang and governor of Anhui, or do you want to be the governor of Jiangning again?"
Tu Guobao was stunned and looked at Mr. Yan in shock!
