"Master, how do you deal with this extremely brave prince's brother-in-law?"
Yang Zhi could see clearly that the Ever-Victorious Army in Linqing City was not the enemy, nor was the Shandong Governor Cathay, the Tianjin Governor Xu Ji, and the Qing Dynasty's enfeoffed enemies.
The emperor's son-in-law is on his way.
Who is the enemy, who is the friend, and who is the person who can cooperate is the criterion for the development of members of the Gongjin Association, and it is also a concept that every Gongjin member must understand.
Understand this, if we work together to advance the great cause, there will be no disadvantages. Gods will kill gods, and Buddhas will kill Buddhas.
"Send someone to assassinate him, or shoot him with a black gun?"
Yang Zhi preferred that Prince Chaoyong died in an assassination attempt by members of the Qingshui Cult in Zhili territory, because a black shot required the right time, place, and people, and the preparation period was too long, making it not as fast as the assassination.
As long as the person did not die in Linqing, Emperor Ren would not have suspected the young master even if he tried his best, and he would not have caused any trouble to the young master.
Jia Liu was noncommittal.
Although he has repeatedly achieved major achievements since he became an official, killing and injuring nearly two regiments of the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia, as well as hundreds of mid-level and senior generals, and achieved achievements that no Han general has been able to achieve since the Ming Dynasty, but those were all achieved in Jinchuan.
There is a certain home field advantage.
This battle in Shandong was completely an away battle. Except for a dozen close Sauron soldiers who built the skeleton, but there was no Chang Weijun whose surname was Jia, there were no other direct forces to use. Therefore, the black gun was completed at the military level.
This feat is too difficult.
Unless, he can buy off all the two battalions of Sauron soldiers who came from the customs, but that is obviously unrealistic.
To put it bluntly, if the thousands of Sauron soldiers from outside Guan were to be named Jia, Jia Liu could directly lead them to a surprise attack on Beijing City, break into the Forbidden City and ask Qianlong to be laid off in advance. There is no need to fight for these villagers in Linqing.
Teach the bandits to worry.
Although it was feasible to send someone to assassinate and put the blame on the Qingshui Sect, the method was too low-level. For Jia Liu, who was already the Prime Minister, it was no longer interesting and could not bring back the same enthusiasm as in his early years.
But there is no doubt that Qianlong sent his son-in-law here to make a big move, which essentially conflicts with Jia Liu's interests.
For example, Jia Liu wants to fight for a year, but Prince Chaoyong insists on solving it in a month. How to reconcile this contradiction?
When he was thinking about it, Yang Jingsu, the chief envoy of Zhili, sent a letter, inviting the four big bosses to meet again in three days to discuss important matters.
The news of the impending arrival of the super brave Prince Lawang's consort not only gave Jia Liu a headache, but also made Shandong Governor Cathay, Tianjin Governor Xu Ji and Zhili Yang Fantai feel uneasy.
The third joint meeting was held. In addition to the four leaders of the Shandong Suppression General, the meeting was also attended by the Shandong Chief Envoy Yu Yijian who came from Jinan, and the only Shandong General Soldier, the Zhili General Soldier Wan Chaoxing.
.
Yu Fantai came all the way to get a share of the grain transfer. For this purpose, he specially made a gold-inlaid cassock for Monk Wang. In addition, he also had a gold book carved with the "Diamond Sutra" and gave it to Yijiang.
A.
However, what Yu Fantai wanted to share was not the loss of grain transportation, but to ask Yijiang'a to help get the Ministry of Household Affairs to agree to set up a checkpoint in Xiajin, east of Linqing, to collect customs duties from merchants traveling from north to south.
The reason is that the northern part of Shandong has been in decay since the Qingshui Rebellion. In addition, Shandong has been plagued by disasters in the past two years, and the vassal treasury is unable to support the army. Therefore, they want to change the customs originally located in Linqing to be managed by Shandong.
, and then withdraw from the customs after the war calms down.
People who believe in Buddhism are really easy to talk to.
After hearing what Yu Fantai said about the hardships of the people in Shandong and how officials could not even pay their salaries, the soft-hearted Yi Jianga wrote a letter to the Hubu Hall official, his own father Yonggui, to help Shandong fight for the establishment of the customs.
In order to reward Yijiang'a, Yu Fantai asked someone to accompany Yijiang to visit famous temples in Dongchang, while he took the time to attend the joint meeting.
In fact, except for Xu Ji, the governor of Tianjin, and the two general soldiers, everyone present was a member of the mutual aid association.
Yu Yijian's eldest brother is the white paper fan of the Mutual Aid Association - Chief Military Minister Yu Minzhong.
The Shandong General Soldier is the only loyal supporter of Cathay Pacific. If Cathay Pacific had not spoken for him, this commander-in-chief, who had suffered many defeats, would have been dismissed from his post and escorted back to Beijing.
Wan Chaoxing, the commander-in-chief of Zhili, was promoted by Yang Jingsu when he was the governor, so there is no need to mention the relationship.
"The emperor once said that Lawang and his son are the Weihuo of the Qing Dynasty, and Suolun soldiers are the most elite troops of our Eight Banners..."
Cathay was the first to speak. He was worried that Prince Chaoyong, who was personally praised by the emperor as the Great Qing Huo Qubing, would interfere with the current policy of "siege first, attack second".
The sale and purchase of grain also showed the incompetence of the besieged city's civil and military forces.
"We have been surrounding the city for so long and still haven't been able to break it. Will he be able to break the city as soon as he arrives?"
Xu Ji, the governor of Tianjin, didn't believe that Sauron's soldiers and Lawang were really that powerful.
"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens."
Yang Fantai, the chief envoy of Zhili, said that the religious bandits in Linqing City were leaving the city in large numbers to surrender. The die-hard religious bandits in the city must be shaken, so the possibility of Linqing being captured cannot be ruled out.
Hearing this, the Shandong General Soldier immediately muttered: "If this is the case, why don't we break the city first, so as not to let others take the credit!"
Jia Liu coughed lightly: "Although many religious bandits have left the city to surrender in the past few days, most of them are holding farmers and ignorant villagers hostage. The elite of the religious bandits are still holding on, and there are probably more than ten thousand in number..."
The only person who doesn't understand is: "Master Jia, didn't you say that seven or eight generals and a dozen deputy generals have surrendered? How come there are so many elite bandits in the city?"
"this..."
Jia Liuyi was speechless for a moment, but fortunately Yang Fantai came to his rescue in time, thus averting the embarrassment.
"It is not surprising that he rebelled against Wang Lun and declared himself the leader of the Yuan Dynasty. He granted generous rewards and was flooded with official positions."
After relieving Jia Liu from the siege, Yang Fantai moved his long beard and said, "No matter what, these religious bandits must be suppressed, but when to suppress them and when to break the city, it is up to Prime Minister Jia Jia to decide."
Jia Liu was busy and modest: "Master Yang is joking,"
Before he could finish speaking, Yang Fantai waved his hand and interrupted: "I'm not joking. You, Jia Jiashikai, are the Prime Minister and Minister of Military Affairs of Shandong. Without an order, Prince Chaoyong, even though he is the emperor's son-in-law, cannot pressure you to do things.
."
"this..."
Jia Liu thought that Lao Yang was going to put him on the fire and accuse him of being a bastard trying to stand up to the emperor's son-in-law. He could not do such an immoral thing.
Just when I was thinking about how to resolve it, there was a noise outside the camp.
It was actually Qianlong's son-in-law, Chaoyong Prince Lawang and Tongdu Censor Asiha who came two days in advance.
However, the group was stopped by Chang Weijun who was on duty at the camp.
Asha, the imperial censor of the capital, raised his whip on his horse and shouted: "How dare you! This is Prince Chaoyong, Lord Gu Lun'e Lawang, and we won't let you go!"
The captain of Chang Wei's army on duty was Zamul, a Sauron soldier. He was not afraid at all. With a wave of his hand, more than twenty Chang Wei soldiers holding muskets stood in front of the door.
"No one is allowed to enter the camp without the order of Sir Jia Jia. Violators will be punished with trespassing!"
Zamul's expression was expressionless and he was devoted to his duties.
"presumptuous!"
Asiha, who had served as governor of Jiangxi, Henan, Guangdong, and Shanxi provinces, was furious: "You green flag people only have Jia Jia in your eyes, and you can't do it without the imperial court!"
