Chapter 340 First destroy the Eight Banners, and then level the Green Camp
Jinling Management Committee.
Under the oil lamp, Director Jia was shaking a cattail leaf fan while looking at the map on the table attentively.
Map of the two lakes.
Director Jia relied on his past life memories to refer to the paintings of the Qing Dynasty.
Liaison Division Chief Liu Heyi was sorting out the latest military information from Sichuan and had determined that the Xinghan Army entered Badong, Hubei Province by boat from the Kui Yangtze River half a month ago.
There were almost no Green Camp garrison in Badong area, and the powerful Xinghan Army entered the area and was so overwhelming that it frightened the prefect of Yichang to close the city gates and call for help from Wuchang City.
Jia Liu asked: "Who is the governor of Hubei?"
Yang Zhi hurriedly opened his life and death book of imperial officials, turned to the Hubei section, and read: "Zheng Dajin, governor of Hubei, was born in the 48th year of Kangxi's reign. He won the imperial examination in the 13th year of Yongzheng's reign and became a Jinshi the following year. He started as the magistrate of Feixiang County, Zhili
He has successively served as Tongzhi of Daming Prefecture, Salt Transport Envoy to Huaihe and Huaihe Rivers, Chief Envoy to Zhejiang and Guizhou, and first as governor of Henan, and then succeeded Liang Guozhi as governor of Hubei for less than a year."
"Um."
Jia Liu was deeply satisfied with the resumes of officials above the fourth rank of the Qing Dynasty compiled by Shuan Zhu, a descendant of the Jia family.
Don't underestimate the resumes of these court officials, they contain many secrets.
Whether you are capable or not can be seen at a glance from your resume.
Judging from Zheng Dajin's resume alone, this person is a substantive officer because he started from the grassroots level.
It took a full thirty-five years to go from county magistrate to second-grade governor.
Unlike Jia Jiashikai, he was at his peak when he debuted.
He was promoted from the first rank to admiral in just over a year. Although this speed of promotion cannot be compared with that of Manqi, it is much better than that of the Han people.
Why is it possible that Shuan Zhu is a descendant of the Jia family?
Because Shuan Zhu's ancestor was a concubine of the Jia family, and it was normal for the master to be a concubine of his wife, it is not ruled out that Shuan Zhu's father or grandfather might have been cuckolded.
Of course, this is just a possibility.
Another possibility is that the blood thing is really unscientific.
Otherwise, why couldn't his real grandson Jia Liu do it?
This matter was suspicious, and because it was so ridiculous, Jia Liu had to report the water seepage in Emperor Shengzuren's underground palace to the court in advance, so that he could change the house for the old man and his wife as soon as possible.
It's okay to keep it under the pillar bed like this.
Liu Heyi analyzed: "From the analysis of Zheng Dajin's resume, he is prudent in his work and will not advance lightly. If he orders various places to guard and defend, it will be difficult for the Xinghan Army to open up a situation in Hubei."
Jia Liu nodded. If the Han army was not 4,000 strong, but 40,000 strong, he would not worry about Hubei officials finding capable people at all. But how to make the situation bigger with only 4,000 people, we must start from the Hubei officialdom.
.
"Who is the Governor of Huguang?"
"It's Chen Huizu."
The resume shows that Governor Chen of Huguang is of a much higher origin than Governor Zheng, because his father is Chen Dashou, who served as Minister of Military Aircraft. Although Governor Chen also started from Yinsheng, he was promoted very quickly, at the age of 38.
It's worthy of being a frontier.
This is the difference between the first generation official and the second generation official.
After hearing this, Jia Liu did not comment on Governor Chen, who was in his prime and proud of his youth, because as far as he knew, Governor Chen was a member of the mutual aid association, which meant that this guy was a corrupt official.
As long as there are corrupt officials, there are ways to deal with them.
Greed for money is greed, and greed for merit is also greed.
He put down the cattail leaf fan, picked up the oil lamp, and slowly looked down along the Yangtze River line on the map. Finally, his finger landed on Jingzhou, and he said in a deep voice: "If we take Wuchang, we must defeat Jingzhou."
"Jingzhou!"
Liu Heyi hurriedly opened the "Huguang Military Situation Survey", "Jingzhou is located at the key point of the Three Chu Provinces. It is the thoroughfare for seven provinces. It is located at the key point of the Yangtze River. It is a must-have place for travel between Yunnan, Guizhou and Bashu. It has great strategic significance."
"I know all this,"
Jia Liu interrupted Liu Heyi's script and asked, "What are the specific conditions of the Eight Banners garrisoned in Jingzhou?"
Liu Heyi hurriedly took out another book "Records of the Eight Banners Garrison" and turned to the Jingzhou page.
"In the 18th year of Kangxi's reign, Wu Sangui rebelled against the Qing Dynasty. The rebels went north to capture Yueyang and threatened the Jingzhou court. They sent the capital commander Babur to lead 3,000 Manchurian cavalry to Jingzhen to guard it. This move prevented Wu Sangui from crossing the Yangtze River."
The garrison situation of the Eight Banners in various places is not a secret. It can be obtained from the yamen of each capital with some money.
The Eight Banners in Jingzhou had more than 3,500 Manchu and Mongolian officers and soldiers stationed at the beginning, the largest number of Eight Banners troops stationed in any province. But now the number may have exceeded 20,000, and at least about 4,000 armored men can be used.
In addition, Jingzhou also has the Eight Banners Naval Battalion, with more than 3,000 officers and soldiers, equipped with 34 warships, including 10 "Shun" brand sand ships, 6 "Guang" brand warships, 4 "Da" brand river patrol ships, "
There are 14 warships named Feng.
The current Jingzhou general, Shang Jianbao, was born in the Zhenghuang Banner of Manchuria. Apart from suppressing civil unrest once, he did not have much experience in leading troops.
"So, there are at least 6,000 land and sea officers and soldiers in Jingzhou?"
Jia Liu frowned slightly. No matter how bad the Eight Banners were, at least they maintained their organizational structure. If they really had to rely on the city to hold on, the Xinghan Army, which lacked siege equipment, would never be able to break through Jingzhou City.
Once the war reaches a stalemate under Jingzhou City, the Xinghan Army will surely end in total annihilation.
Because the Xinghan Army was faced with a situation of being blocked in front and being chased after, and the Qing army was the strength of the whole country. What did the Xinghan Army have?
Even Jia Jiashikai, all he can do is secretly betray others and dare not openly collude with them.
Liu Heyi suggested: "If it doesn't work, send a spy to assassinate Shang Jianbao! A snake can't do it without a head. The Jingzhou generals are all gone, and those Manchu and Mongolian trash are useless."
"I've told you before that you don't have to think about assassination all the time. If you can assassinate others, they won't assassinate you?"
Jia Liu was not happy. He wanted to reach the top by relying on his strength openly. Conspiracy and assassination were a shameless trick that was definitely not in line with his temperament and character.
Liu Heyi disagreed: "Don't be afraid, sir. No one knows that you are the real culprit behind this."
"Huh? That's right,"
Jia Liu suddenly realized, yes, no one knew that he was the biggest villain at all, so those who wanted to take revenge had no target.
"Then let the Secret Service spend a lot of money to buy desperadoes."
He still has the ability to get people into the city-wide symposium. If he really kills Jingzhou General Shang Jianbao, maybe he can really make the Eight Banners garrisoned in Jingzhou collapse without a fight.
Yang Zhi shook his head and objected.
"I remember the young master said that as long as we are teammates of the Eight Flags, the Eight Flags will definitely finish."
Yang Zhi reminded the young master not to forget Huguang Green Camp.
Jia Liu frowned and looked at Liu Heyi, who hurriedly opened the membership book, which recorded that seven officers above the thousand-member rank of the Huguang Green Camp secretly joined the meeting, including Zheng Tai, the general of the Huguang Green Camp.
"I know about Zheng Tai. Those Huguang camp soldiers are very bad."
Master Shikai's only defeat in his life was when he commanded the Huguang Green Battalion to fight against the bandits. As a result, he was defeated again and again, losing all face.
Liu Heyi said with some joy: "The Xinghan Army has entered Huguang. Huguang will definitely ask for the Huguang Green Camp in Jinchuan to be transferred back. In this way, there will indeed be a chance to destroy the Eight Banners in Jingzhou."
"Destroy the Eight Banners first, then level the Green Camp. No matter how big Huguang is, the long hair will rule the roost!"
Jia Liu was also very excited. Defeating the enemy does not necessarily rely on strength, but only on having brains.
It is impossible for the Huguang Green Battalion to win the war, and it is not natural for them to lose the war.
At the thought of being able to deceive 20,000 to 30,000 Manchu and Mongolian bannermen at once, Jia Liu was so excited that he paced up and down. Finally, he asked Liu Heyi and Shuan Zhu to accompany him to swim in the Ganma River tomorrow to practice holding his breath in the water.
"swim?"
Liu and Yang expressed their confusion. There were so many things waiting to be done, why the adults thought about going swimming.
“Many skills don’t overwhelm you.”
Jia Liu could only say this, they couldn't understand his inner situation.
