Chapter 271 Heaven and earth are not as big as money
Why did Jia Liu choose Chongqing as his first stop as a new official?
Because Chongqing’s geographical location is really important, it is the gateway to central Sichuan.
It was under the leadership of Wu Sangui that the Qing army attacked Yunnan and Guizhou from the west of Chongqing, forcing the Yongli regime of the Southern Ming Dynasty to flee to Burma.
Similarly, the Ming army's major counterattack commanded by Sun Kewang was also hampered by Liu Wenxiu, one of the main forces, being blocked in Chongqing, which prevented the counterattack from completely recovering Sichuan, thus giving the Qing government a chance to breathe and counterattack.
It can be said that whoever has Chongqing can control the whole of Sichuan.
But what really prompted Jia Liu to choose to come to Chongqing first was the bad words of Zu Yingyuan.
"According to Chongqing, if there is a big change, a navy can go down the river and sweep across Huguang, capture the south of the Yangtze River, and cut off the water transportation. In this way, the imperial court will be destroyed."
When he learned that Jia Liu was going to rectify the four towns of Luying in Sichuan and was wondering which town to go to first, Zu Yingyuan said this casually.
Jia Liu was so frightened that he almost thought that the Eastern King Yang Xiuqing had been reincarnated into the grandson of Zu Dashugui.
"Don't talk nonsense. I am loyal to the Qing Dynasty, and our association is also loyal to the Qing Dynasty. How can we think about the demise of the Qing Dynasty!"
Jia Liu scolded Zu Yingyuan on the spot for talking nonsense, your ancestors were more traitors than my ancestors. As descendants of traitors, we eat and drink from the Qing Dynasty. How can we eat from the bowl and still think about the pot at the critical moment?
I'm looking forward to the Qing Dynasty.
"Tell me, how can we get half shaken?... Well, we can't do this kind of thing."
Jia Liu lowered his body and asked Commander Zu for advice.
"Look at how cowardly you are. You want to play with women but don't want to spend money on others. It's immoral."
Zu Yingyuan pointed in the direction of Jinchuan angrily and told the Japanese that Jinchuan was a place of death and a desperate place, but if the people inside ran out, they would run around like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong back then.
I'm afraid it's too much.
"People from the plateau probably can't do this, and those Ming Dynasty survivors might not be able to do it either!"
Zu Yingyuan pointed out that once the peace talks begin, and if the peace talks are really successful, it will be the plateau people who will benefit, and those Ming Dynasty survivors will definitely not be able to get a good deal, and may even be the leverage for the plateau people to negotiate with the imperial court.
After all, after so many years of fighting, the strength of the Ming Dynasty survivors has been almost exhausted. If the plateau people turn against each other, they will definitely be sacrificed.
When the Qing army attacks and the plateau people attack, how long can the Ming Dynasty survivors survive?
Jia Liu deeply agrees with this.
If they were not unable to fight against the Qing Dynasty on their own, Mr. Gu and others would not cooperate with Da Jinchuan, let alone agree to Jia Liu's release of women and children.
If the plateau people really negotiate peace with the Qing army, it will definitely be a devastating blow to the Ming Dynasty survivors led by Mr. Gu.
Zu Yingyuan reminded Jia Liu that Qianlong was really determined to negotiate peace, and that Mingliang and Fu Sheng'a had really made it happen, so they had to prepare for the worst when they attended the meeting together.
"You and I are sabotaging the peace talks. Why don't you take a bigger step, be more courageous, and ask your father-in-law, Mr. Gu, to come out and hang out somewhere else."
The corner of Zu Yingyuan's mouth curled up with a sneer on his face, "If you do this, you, the leader of the main war faction, will really become the Dinghai Shenzhen of the Qing Dynasty."
"Are you telling the truth?"
"What do you think?"
"This is it,"
Jia Liu wondered whether Zu Yingyuan's bad idea was feasible.
In terms of weather conditions, the situation of this meeting is no worse than that of the Xianfeng period, or even better.
Why?
Sixty percent of the Qing army's combat strength was in Jinchuan, leaving other places empty.
Due to the geographical advantage, if the survivors really rush out and release the water secretly, no one in Huguang can stop them, and momentum will be built in an instant.
Not to mention people's harmony, 80% of the world's rebels are in Sichuan.
If the rebels really want to break out, who will be the unlucky one?
It's bright!
It's the peace party!
The situation is really broken, it's so bad that it's unsightly. Should Qianlong re-employ the main war faction?
After thinking about it this way, in order to continue to get promoted and make a fortune, Jia Liu had to come to Chongqing first to unblock the "gate" in order to prepare for the worst.
Besides, Chongqing Town Green Camp has the largest number of the four main green battalion towns in Sichuan, with 3,800 regular soldiers. In addition, Chongqing also has the only navy in Sichuan, with 2,700 soldiers.
The total number of the land and water battalions is 6,500, accounting for more than one-third of the Sichuan Green Camp.
With such an important force, Jia Liu could safely hand it over to Cao Guoke, who had a background in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Sichuan Green Camp can only have him, Jia Jia Shikai, and Zhao Qian and Sun Li will never be allowed to exist.
Ma Dayuan, a bold and sinister guy, is a good choice to be the deputy general of Chongqing. From the beginning, this person showed contempt and disdain for the Eight Banners. When he started to snipe Wen Zhongtang, he was also very active.
Later, Jia Liu always valued his trust and promoted him from a sentry officer to a guard. Now he has been promoted to the leader of the Chongqing Green Camp. He is also the first person in Jia Liu's gang to take charge of his own affairs.
In addition to Ma Dayuan and the few members who came from the previous operation, Jia Liu also brought dozens of members to enrich Chongqing Green Camp’s organizational strength.
There are 21 people from the original Green Camp, 13 people from the Han Army Banner, and 9 people from the Sauron Army. Jia Liu had their letters of appointment stamped earlier. This time they came here to take over the positions of the Green Camp officers who were kneeling in the lobby just now.
of.
As for how to arrange these green camp officers who were given jobs, Jia Liu certainly couldn't kill him. He didn't have the energy of Fulehun, so he planned to bring these people to Xiaozhai. Qianlong reported to Qianlong that these people were not strong in business ability as an excuse.
Give them a green camp general officer class (school) or something like that in Xiaozhai, so that they can study intensively.
You can also use the name of guerrilla guide flag member, or be promoted to the admiral's office...
As long as you think about it, there must be a way.
In short, after these people are transferred out, don't even think about returning to Chongqing. If you really want to come back, just ask them to die in battle.
A group of officers who have lost their foundation, it is easier for Jia Liu to play with them than with a wife.
There is no way, who makes him the biggest official in Sichuan Green Camp?
It’s okay if you don’t want to do it, just resign, Mr. Jia is eager to do so.
As for the lower-level officers in the Chongqing Water and Land Green Camp, such as sentry officers, Jia Liu hoped that Ma Dayuan would carefully screen them, continue to use them if they have the ability, or promote them, and then examine and absorb them into the joint advancement meeting.
The existence of the Joint Advancement Association is legal, and its program is for the Qing Dynasty. What's wrong with joining this association that serves the Qing Dynasty?
The arrangements were made, and the money was obtained. Jia Liu's last task in Chongqing was to hold a meeting with the Green Camp soldiers and their families.
This conference must be held. In addition to telling all the officers, soldiers and family members of Chongqing Green Camp that their fortunes have changed, we must also tell these officers, soldiers and family members that if they follow Master Jia, they can eat three meals a day in the future!
The thirty-ninth year of Qianlong passed away amidst the sound of firecrackers all over the city, and the Qing Dynasty ushered in the forty-ninth year of Qianlong.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Chongqing's Xiaochangba was bustling with people. Thousands of people, men, women, old and young, were there, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Admiral.
Xiaochangba is originally the large school field of Chongqing Lvying. It can accommodate tens of thousands of people, not to mention thousands of people.
With much anticipation, the Admiral appeared at the school grounds surrounded by officials and soldiers.
Walking onto the high platform that had been built, Jia Liu habitually waved to the crowd below. He was full of energy and wanted to shout something, but it was not appropriate to call the people below him fellow villagers.
It's not right to call him a compatriot, because he is a Manchurian and his family is Han, so how can he be a compatriot?
The discipline of the camp soldiers and family members must be stronger than that of ordinary people. The whole place was silent, and men, women, old and young all looked nervously at the admiral on the high platform.
But when the Admiral came on stage, he clearly waved his hand, but why didn't he speak?
The crowd fell into silence and curiosity.
Finally, the Admiral spoke, and he bowed his hands to the crowd in the audience and said loudly: "Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and I am here to wish you all a Happy New Year!"
After saying that, he raised his hand again and said, "Give me money!"
The sky is big and the earth is big, not as big as money.
.......
I would like to ask for some rewards and monthly tickets, and call you big brother.
