Chapter 182 Want to sleep and wear me to betray my country?
In the chapter "Respectfully Inviting Jinchuan to Military Training", Jia Liu determined for the old man that the time for the official launch of guerrilla warfare would be half a year later.
This time was determined by Jia Liu and the time it took Wen Fu to recapture Xiaojinchuan last year. The October offensive that A Gui is organizing basically follows Wen Fu's march route. If nothing goes wrong, it will take at least a year and a half to regain Meinuo and Muguomu.
Wait for the important town.
Because the Xiaojinchuan Fan Army had limited strength and could not withstand another major attack by the Qing army, it had to withdraw to Dajinchuan in the end.
These six months were the time for Jia Liu to train his flagmen in guerrilla warfare.
Guerrilla tactics are mainly to deal with the situation after collecting Xiaojinchuan, that is, to prevent the rear route from being attacked again. Jia Liu made this clear.
However, Jia Liu definitely couldn't let the project construction take half a year. After all, he would have to hand in the homework to the old man after half a year.
As a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, it would be unjustifiable not to chop off the heads of a group of traitors.
If half a year later it was revealed that millions of taels of silver had been spent to build the project hardware but the software had not yet been tendered, the old man would probably slap him to death.
Therefore, the construction time given by Jia Liu is one month.
During this month, the village must be completely leveled and a number of sheds must be built. If conditions permit, some brick houses can be built.
Everything, keep it simple.
Then, slowly expand.
The policy is: work while you are repairing, and repair while you are working.
If you do well, you will repair quickly; if you repair quickly, you will do well.
Of course, reporting the above project cost is another matter.
The problem that could be solved with ten thousand taels was actually costed to one million taels. Jia Liu was worried that Qianlong would send someone over to take a look at it on a whim. However, when they came to the site, they saw that the good guy had built a shantytown with one million taels of silver. How would it end?
?
The solution given by Vice Chairman Bo is to use money as a plug, because Mr. Bo does not think that there are any officials sent by the court who are more honest than him.
This big project also involves the Governor, and hundreds of Manchu and Han officials. No one will know what is good or bad if they don't look at the Buddha's face or the monk's face.
During the secret conversation at night, Vice President Bo also used the title old man to refer to the man in the Forbidden City, and said that the old man was actually deaf and blind.
Jia Liu was puzzled and asked what it meant.
Vice President Bo sneered and told Jia Liu not to look at Wen Fu checking his accounts, as if there was no sand in his eyes, he was an incorruptible man, but he had another side, which was extremely conceited, arrogant, and sinister.
Two examples were given.
First, last year, the old man's son-in-law, Babu Tengbalzhu, was dissatisfied with Wen Fu. As a result, Wen Fu wrote a letter saying that the emperor's son-in-law had deluded the military and formed cliques for personal gain.
Who in his right mind would dare to say that about the emperor's son-in-law?
What was the result? Qianlong summoned his son-in-law back to the capital, cursed him, and shut down the clan for several months.
Another incident was that Wu Dai, the counselor and minister next to Wen Fu, secretly said bad things about Wen Fu. Wen Fu immediately falsely accused Wu Dai. As a result, Wu Dai was deprived of his post and sent to Yili to be sent to Xu, where he would never be able to stand up again.
During this period, no one dared to speak for Prince Consort and Wu Dai.
Once Wen Fu died, this group of people dared to jump out.
What do these two things mean? It means that once the old man believes in someone, he will believe it unconditionally.
To put it nicely, don't be suspicious of those you employ, and don't use those who are suspicious.
To put it bluntly, he is an old man who is confused.
"The old man has a lot of trust in you now, which is beneficial to the development of our association."
Vice President Bo asked Mr. Shikai to take advantage of this opportunity to expand the joint development meeting. Don't be afraid of this or that. With him and President Li helping to cover it up, there is no need to worry.
Jia Liuyi thought about it and realized that Vice President Bo was right. The old man seemed to be really in trouble.
I have the impression that a minister wrote to Qianlong saying that a certain province was full of corruption, the administration was extremely corrupt, and the warehouses were all empty.
Qianlong was so angry that he scolded the minister for being nonsense, and even asked the minister to take the minister to see the provinces where he exposed the evidence. As a result, there were sufficient warehouses in every place he visited.
From then on, no one dared to tell the truth to the old man.
Therefore, while the old man has confidence in himself, he must quickly recruit members, improve the community of interests, and build Jinchuan into a watertight place. Not to mention the old man sending people here, even if he comes by himself, he has to praise him for his ability to do things.
To be an official, you have to be able to do things.
Nowadays, the Qing Dynasty is full of corrupt officials from top to bottom. In such a good political environment, Jia Liu is still timid. He really doesn't know what to do.
I was also worried that if the news of Brother Fusan's death spread to the capital, the old man might implicate Jia Tulu because he liked his adopted son too much.
Vice President Bo actually said that he and Vice Governor Boling'a delivered a secret message to the emperor, revealing that Fukang'an had been very extravagant since coming to Jinchuan, gathering his bannermen to drink and have fun every day, and did not care about military affairs at all.
"Is there anything else?"
Jia Liuyi was startled. Didn't he say that Fukang'an was a famous general? Even though he was the young man of a famous general, he wouldn't be so unworthy.
Vice President Bo’s answer was yes.
This made Jia Liu's evaluation of Fukangan plummet.
He had secretly reported that Fukang'an was a loser, and the revelations by the two Manchurian vice-captains directly verified that the secret was true. No matter how fond the old man was of his adopted son, he would not be implicated in his misdeeds.
After putting his heart into his stomach, he secretly discussed with the vice-president of Bo the specific matters of military training. In addition to training flagmen for guerrilla training, this small village should also be used to train other troops, such as the green battalion troops controlled by Chairman Li, the governor of Sichuan.
The reason is very clear. If you want the emperor not to investigate them, you must have strong troops and strong horses. During the military training process, you must also include officers from the joint advancement club. At least thousands of usable soldiers must be mastered within a year. At the same time, you must also recruit loyal and reliable officers.
Tie in other soldiers and horses and gradually control an army of 100,000 from bottom to top.
There are legal and reasonable procedures for how to transfer other soldiers and horses to Xiaozhai for training.
Military training involves one's own wealth and life. Vice President Bo, who is in charge of the army's money, food and materials, will definitely support it. Whatever Brother Shikai wants here, he will get it. Anyway, it is all to put down the bandits. The most trouble is to pay more for the losses.
.
After that, we made some specific arrangements for the project contracting plan, and there was a particular emphasis on which part should be contracted to whom.
No one behind the group of engineering contractors brought by the vice president can be offended.
Jia Liu roughly understood that, to put it bluntly, even if those Beijing Filmmakers didn't do anything, as long as people were here, if there was no project, they would have to designate a project on paper.
Anyway, the money belongs to the court, and he doesn't need to allocate it himself.
What's more, Governor Fu directly deducted more than half of the project funds.
"Brother, I leave the engineering work to you, but you can't make me a mess."
"Tofu dregs?"
After understanding the meaning of this word, Vice President Bo laughed and told Brother Shikai to keep it in mind. Xiaozhai Project dare not say that it is a century-old project, and it will definitely not be a problem in three to five years.
Jia Liuxun thought that it would take three to five years, so he acquiesced that all matters other than personnel training and personnel arrangements would be the responsibility of Brother Qing Exian.
The vice president only stayed in Xiaozhai for one night, and the next day he said goodbye to Brother Shikai and rushed to the governor of Sichuan, Fulehun.
Jia Liu stayed, and on the one hand he asked Director Zhao of the Zagu Department to arrange for the civilian workers to come in and start construction, and on the other hand he began racking his brains to compile guerrilla tactics.
Everything on the construction site is handled by Wandashan, a counselor from Manchuria with a white flag left behind by Vice President Bo. This person is a confidant of Vice President Bo. He has worked in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Works before, and he is very knowledgeable about project construction.
Very familiar.
When the vice-president left, he told brother Shikai to take the Dashan without fear and treat him as one of his own.
Although Chairman Li, the governor of Sichuan, did not allocate money to the Zagu Department, the Xiaozhai project was the first major project after the establishment of the Gongjin Association, and it was related to military training, so he fully supported it.
A large number of equipment and materials for construction projects along with food were gradually transported here, and when they arrived, Wandashan arranged personnel to receive and distribute them, leaving Jia Liucao without any hassle.
Director Zhao considered the large number of people at the construction site and feared that it would affect Mr. Jia Tulu's rest, so he specially had several stilted buildings built for Mr. Jia halfway up the mountain for his temporary residence.
Jia Liu was very satisfied with this, and personally wrote the four words "Be prepared for danger in times of peace" and hung them on this building to show his determination to fight against the rebellion.
The stilted building where he lives is also known as the "Siwei Building".
It was here that Jia Liu wrote the second and third scripts of his life.
One is called "Guerrilla Warfare";
One is called "Counterguerrilla Warfare."
One is a spear and the other is a shield.
The combination of contradictions brings a wealth of wealth.
The spear must be taught to the flag-bearing guerrillas, and the shield is to be awarded to the Jinchuan rebels.
Whether the spear is stronger or the shield is stronger needs to be verified in practice.
The project progressed very quickly. In more than half a month, more than a dozen rows of barracks were built and the school ground was leveled.
Theoretically, personnel can be stationed for training.
But Jia Liu first had to go to the Eight Banners soldiers in Jinchuan to select Jian Rui to join the camp. These Eight Banners athletes would be used as the main force of the flag guerrillas, so they had to be carefully selected.
Just as I was getting ready to leave, a visitor came to visit.
Lu Yuanguang, who had been promoted to the rank of second-grade green battalion deputy general, made a special trip to visit Unengyibaturu Jia Shikai on his way to Chongzhou for official duties.
"sit."
Jia Liu looked at Lu Yuanguang angrily, and his eyes were attracted by a soldier behind him.
She has delicate features and looks even better than He Shen.
Jia Liu, who was not very masculine, couldn't help but take a second look.
"Congratulations to Master Jia for your promotion and fortune!"
Lu Yuanguang cupped his hands in greeting and symbolically handed over two thousand taels of silver notes as a congratulatory gift.
Jia Liu glanced at it and put the banknote to the other side of the oil lamp. His nose twitched and he raised his hand: "Please sit down."
"Thank you, Mr. Jia!"
After Lu Yuanguang sat down, he smiled slightly: "I wonder if your Excellency still remembers the promise made in the past?"
"What promise? I am an official of the imperial court, with the royal title of Batulu. What kind of promise can I make with you, a traitor?"
Jia Liu turned against him and refused to recognize him. The man named Lu tried to take advantage of him without any evidence, but there was no way.
Lu Yuanguang did not expect that the timid Jia Liu, who was afraid of death, would suddenly change his face. He was stunned for a moment. Then he looked at the handsome soldier and said, "Second Miss, I don't admit it."
"Don't admit it? Then tell his court what he did and see how he explains to Qing Yao's court!"
This soldier turned out to be a woman disguised as a man.
Jia Liuyi was startled. No wonder he felt a little irritated just now. It turned out to be a normal reaction and not the result of holding it in for too long.
"Master Lu, what do you mean?"
Jia Liu was unhappy. He tapped the table with his right index finger and said with a displeased look on his face: "Do you think you can convince me to betray my country by bringing a woman here? That would be too underestimated for me, Jia Jiashikai."
