The prince-in-law not only never messed around, but also worried about the country and the country of the Qing Dynasty.
On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Dingxi General Mingliang rushed back to the camp from Gongalla Mountain to take charge of the aftermath. At the same time, the left deputy general Feng Sheng'e also hastily ended the offensive against the Fan bandits and hurried back to the camp.
The main leaders of various armies have gathered together. There are six deputy commanders of Manchuria alone, namely Fu Sheng'a, Bo Qing'e, Pu Pu, He Longwu and Kuilin;
The six leading ministers are Ha Guoxing, Fuxing, Baoning, Xingzhao, Shulin and Wanjia;
There are seven counselors and ministers, namely Techeng'e, Erte, Mangkacha, Hailu, Taifei Ying'a, Bailing and Sargidai;
The two first-class guards in front of the emperor are Ushihada and Wangkesi;
There are four second-class imperial guards, namely Tortobao, Urna, Zartu and Hunirtu;
In addition, there are three admirals: Jia Jiashikai, the admiral of Sichuan, Chang Qing, the admiral of Yunnan, and Wang Jintai, the admiral of Guizhou.
There were three general officers of the Green Battalion, five lieutenants, 11 staff generals, and more than 30 high-ranking officials of Yu Banner Han attended this meeting.
Sichuan Governor Li Shijie, as the top leader of Sichuan Province, will definitely attend the meeting. To a certain extent, this Sichuan Governor has the power of acting governor.
There was an obvious difference in the order of standing with Fukang'an when he died. Although the green battalion admiral of Sichuan was too much of a first-rank official, Jia Liu was seated side by side with the left deputy general Feng Sheng.
Theoretically, he is on the same level as Bright.
This also means that no matter what the occasion, he, Jia Jia'e, will sit on the podium instead of sitting in the fourth row or attending.
This incident fully demonstrates that people who do not know how to fight can still be promoted and make a fortune. It also directly verifies Jia Liu's theory - the more friendly troops die, the more prosperous the brothers will be.
The tone of the meeting was naturally to adhere to the purpose of appeasing the army, minimizing the impact of the Agui Rebellion, and then reorganizing the ministries in preparation for launching an offensive against the Jinchuan bandits next year.
It was the first time that Mingliang presided over a meeting as the top leader, which was a little immature. However, he received guidance from his uncle, Vice President Bo, beforehand. He always put the will first and controlled the rhythm very well.
A Gui's party members, Yunnan Admiral Chang Qing and others went from being on tenterhooks at first to feeling relieved later, and the changes in their expressions clearly showed the pressure in their hearts.
Feng Sheng'e knew that it was impossible for Agui to rebel, so he wanted to say a few words, but before he could speak, Vice President Bo said first: "Since this is the decree, the matter of Agui's rebellion ends here, and no one will be allowed to do so in the future.
Discuss this matter in the army. If there is any private discussion, just report it to the public."
These words made Feng Sheng'e reluctant to speak again. After all, the emperor determined that Agui was indeed treasonous.
In public, you must reserve your opinions. In private, it is up to you how you present yourself.
I don't want a dispute to happen later.
It was not a dispute over who was a member of the Aguiyu Party or not, nor was it a dispute over who was dissatisfied with Mingliang, the young general of Dingxi, but the Sichuan Admiral Jia Jiashikai had a fierce conflict with many Manchu generals because of the treatment of bannermen and Han soldiers.
Just as the meeting was about to end, Jia Liu, the admiral of Sichuan, suddenly stood up and asked the general Mingliang about the pension for the fallen soldiers in the previous battle.
The pension for fallen Eight Banners soldiers has always been higher than that of the Green Camp.
For example, if Jia Liu, a first-level admiral, is killed in battle, his wife Ruxiu will receive a pension of up to 800 taels.
But the pension for death in battle for a third-grade flag officer is more than nine hundred taels.
Ordinary soldiers will receive fifty taels of silver for those killed in the Green Battalion, and eighty taels for flag soldiers.
When the fallen officers and soldiers enshrine Zhaozhong Temple, there are also differences between the Eight Banners and the Green Camp. The Eight Banners soldiers have higher memorial tablets than the Green Camp soldiers.
When soldiers of the Eight Banners are injured in battle, they can receive fifty taels of silver as compensation for first-class injuries, and thirty taels of silver for third-class injuries.
The Green Camp soldiers were given only 30 taels of silver for first-class injuries and 20 taels of silver for third-class injuries, both of which were less than the Eight Banners' amount of silver.
If a soldier is disabled due to injury, the Green Camp will give half of the commemorative reward to those killed in battle, while the Eight Banners will not only give half of the commemorative reward to those killed in battle, but also add additional silver depending on the degree of disability.
At the same time, the rewards for meritorious deeds of the Green Camp are not as good as those of the Bannermen.
Faced with this obviously unfair policy, Jia Liu, as the top officer of the tens of thousands of soldiers in the Sichuan Green Camp, an authentic Manchu nationality, and the son-in-law of Aisin Gioro, must come forward to raise objections to this unfair policy.
He believed that in the future, the flag and the people must be integrated, and the pension benefits for the soldiers killed and disabled in the Green Camp must be the same as those of the Eight Banners.
As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar in the tent.
The flagman was shocked that Jia Jia's consort could fight for the green camp.
The Han members were shocked that the prince-in-law, who was a flag member, actually spoke for the Green Camp.
The leading ministers Fuxing, Baoning and others bluntly accused Jia Jia's consort of messing up national policies.
"Discussing national policy?"
Jia Liu did not hide his anger at all, and shouted angrily: "The country regards Manchu and Han as one body, and they are both martyrs. How can there be any difference in merit and reward!"
"The prince-in-law must not speak nonsense. Although the flag and Han are one body, but..."
But what, Zuo Lieutenant General Feng Sheng'e suddenly realized that he should not speak. Because this kind of thing can only be known to the heart, not to the public, let alone discussed in public.
After all, the emperor has always said that Manchu and Han are one.
Although the generals of the Green Camp felt that their prince-in-law spoke upright and forthright, they could not agree with him in public, but they all looked at him with gratitude.
In the hundred years since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, this is the first time someone has spoken up for the Green Camp soldiers!
Even if this thing doesn't work out, all the green camps in the world will still have to accept the love of Jia Jia's consort!
If successful, then the prince-in-law will be the great benefactor of this green camp!
Mingliang frowned slightly. Although he was the general of Dingxi, he could not decide on the pension and treatment of the bannermen, so he thought about it for a moment and said, "My brother-in-law, this proposal should be decided by the imperial court."
Jia Liu nodded. He was not embarrassed, but in front of so many people, he had to make his attitude clear.
That is, from now on, not only the pension, but also the merit and rewards must be the same, and the rations of the camp troops must also be equal to those of the Eight Banners soldiers.
Originally, the soldiers in the battalion were given eight and three scoops of rice every day. Jia Liu advocated that the rations for the green camp soldiers should be changed to the same as that of the Eight Banners soldiers, and they should be given one liter per day. At the same time, the green camp soldiers should be given salt, vegetables, and silver taels per month instead of nine taels of silver per month to one, two, and three taels of silver per month.
Money to show sympathy and boost morale.
"In addition, the imperial court allocated acres of land to the Eight Banners soldiers as cemeteries for the fallen bannermen. The soldiers all died in service to the country. How can there not even be a separate cemetery!"
Jia Liu requested that the soldiers who died in the Green Camp be rewarded with money for building graves, money for erecting monuments, houses and land for disabled soldiers, and financial aid for weddings and funerals of poor soldiers.
"Whether it is the Eight Banners or the Green Camp, they are the military force of our Qing Dynasty. Whether it is the flag soldiers or the battalion soldiers, they are the military strength of our Qing Dynasty, and they are also the emperor's pure sons..."
Jia Liu said that he would give a speech to the court to fight for the officers and soldiers of the Green Camp.
"To put it more seriously, I, Jia Jiashikai, am a Manchu nationality. As long as it is good for the Qing Dynasty, I will do it if you don't tell me!"
"To put it mildly, I, Jia Jiashikai, am the admiral of the Green Camp. If I don't fight for the soldiers of the Green Camp, who will fight for the soldiers of the Green Camp!"
"..."
The meeting ended without any results.
After getting out of the big tent, Jia Liu asked the president how he performed.
The president looked around and saw that no one was paying attention. He lowered his voice and said, "My consort is tall, really tall!"
