Chapter 404 How can the Eight Banners reverse the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty?
Li Mi, the deputy general of the Green Camp of Shucun and a member of the Eight Banners of the Han Army, was quite knowledgeable. After Lord Jia arrived and presented the imperial edict, Li Mi immediately obeyed unconditionally.
Then the officers in the camp were summoned to convey Master Jia's order and stationed in the outer city of the capital this evening to assist the Eight Banners infantry in guarding the city gates, checking the past, and maintaining public order in the capital during the national mourning of the Queen Mother.
Soon, 3,000 Green Battalion infantry, led by Li Mi, marched towards the capital. On the way, they met Chang Wei's army led by Deb, and the momentum seemed quite huge.
Li Mi's cooperation made Jia Liu realize that the clan's penetration was really weak. I wonder if the old rich and others looked down on Luying, so they didn't send anyone to bribe the generals of Luying in the capital.
After finishing dealing with Li Mi, Jia Liu didn't stop for a moment and rushed to Changtai Village, where the Green Camp cavalry of the capital was stationed.
This area is on the outskirts of the Old Summer Palace. Less than two miles inward is the Sao Tatar Camp, and ten miles further in is the core area of the Old Summer Palace, where specialized protective troops are stationed.
The Sao Tatar Camp is the Eight Banners Army stationed in the Old Summer Palace. It is the name of the Mongolian soldiers by the local Han people.
Officially, it should be called Shaozi Camp, which is under the jurisdiction of Zhenghuang Banner. There are 600 people in total, all of them are Mongolian flag soldiers. Their main job is to patrol the walls of the Old Summer Palace on horseback day and night.
It is equivalent to a security brigade patrolling on bicycles.
The reason why the Shaozi Camp was called the Sao Tatar Camp was because the food, accommodation, and living habits of the Mongolian soldiers were very different from those of the Manchu and Han troops. The cattle and sheep in the camp where they lived had a strong smell.
When Jia Liukao paid homage to Tang Aqiao, the second-class place was assigned to guard the army in the Old Summer Palace.
The entire Old Summer Palace guard army actually consists of three parts. One is the Eight Banners Guard Army of the Old Summer Palace;
The second is the coating camp of the Ministry of Internal Affairs;
The third is the Capital Green Camp.
The guard army was composed of the Manchu, Mongolian and Han banners drawn from the Eight Banners of the capital, and the number of personnel seemed to be 6,500.
There are not many people in the coating camp of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, maybe a few hundred people, and these people are mainly responsible for the logistics work in the park. If we really want to treat them as an army, we should also treat them as auxiliary soldiers.
The Green Camp of the Capital is the middle battalion of horsemen under the command of the Infantry Commander's Office. It is also the main cavalry of the Green Camp of the Capital, with 1,500 horsemen.
Perhaps when the Yuanmingyuan Guards were initially established, they were all elites from the Eight Banners of the Capital, but to be honest, no matter which part of the Guards was basically a reserve and security force.
It is similar to the Xiaoling Guard after the mid-Ming Dynasty.
At the beginning of the year, Qianlong drew several hundred people from the Old Summer Palace garrison to go to Jinchuan with the forward battalion. As a result, on the night when the Mingliang camp was attacked, these hundreds of garrison drawn from the Old Summer Palace were the first to collapse, and the defeated troops who escaped spent all their money.
It took several days to gather them together, which shows how low the fighting ability and fighting will of these guys are.
Ruilin, who commanded the cavalry of the Green Camp in the capital, was born in the Mengba Banner. His mother seemed to be the daughter of Yongzheng. In terms of it, he also belonged to the same clan as Jia Liu, but he was a relative.
Jia Liu actually valued these 1,500 cavalry, so he really wanted to kill Ruilin and his trusted officers, and directly use his own people to command the cavalry.
But after careful consideration, he rejected this bold idea, because he was worried that if he couldn't control the situation, the green camp cavalry would stifle him.
That would really be a case of being taken advantage of.
On the left and right are the Holy Incarnations of the Fourth Japs and the sword of Bilong. As long as he does not raise a flag against the Fourth Japs, these two things can still shock these green camp cavalry.
Therefore, he went through the acceptance procedures as usual in Shucun and asked Ruilin to immediately lead his troops to join Chang Wei's army and wait for further notice.
Ruilin may have heard some rumors in the capital and hesitated to lead troops to the capital. However, in the face of the emperor's imperial edict, the loyal Ruilin finally chose to obey the imperial edict and the command of Master Jia Jia, and hurriedly summoned his officers to discuss the matter of entering the capital. .
Jia Liu gave Ruilin half an hour to gather the troops, while he led others to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Old Summer Palace from a distance.
In fact, where can you see the beautiful scenery behind the courtyard wall, just look at the outline.
The Old Summer Palace was built during the three dynasties of Kangxi, Yongzong and Qianlong. It is very magnificent and magnificent. It covers an area larger than the Forbidden City. Although you cannot see the inside, it is a rare enjoyment just from the outside.
It's just that Jia Liu has a regret in his heart, that is, Director Yang is not here, otherwise it would be very easy to rob the Old Summer Palace while it is under fire.
A conservative estimate is that the wealth in one Yuanmingyuan should be as much as ten underground palaces of the Holy Ancestor, or even more.
In other words, the value of this garden is equivalent to the GDP of the Qing Dynasty in three to five years.
No matter how you look at it, it's interesting.
But even if Director Yang was here, Jia Liu would not dare to do this.
It's not that I have any righteous psychological barriers, or I'm afraid of the so-called Old Summer Palace guards, it's just that I'm worried about sales.
For example, in the previous life, the twelve zodiac animals' avatars could fetch sky-high prices, but now they are probably just a pile of junk. Who wants them?
What is really valuable are the various treasures placed in the garden, as well as countless antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and countless treasures made of gold and silver.
The Changchun Immortal Pavilion built by Qianlong for his mother was said to be priceless because the Buddha statues inside were all made of gold and jade.
The more I thought about it, the more intense my thoughts became. I put down the telescope and picked it up again, staring back and forth at the garden in the distance for fear of a stick of incense.
"Sir, if there is really chaos in the capital, then the imperial court will definitely not take care of it."
The speaker was Lai Wang, the battalion officer of the Changwei Army Cavalry who escorted Jia Liu, and a former Jilin Tiger Yi and Tengpai soldier.
"you mean?"
Jia Liu looked sideways at Xiang Wang. The Sauron people under his command were extremely loyal to him, Lord Jia Jia.
Of course, Master Jia Jia never said anything to Brother Sauron.
Regardless of whether they are the former Hailancha subordinates or the Tiger Uniform Soldiers from Jilin, they all start from the seventh rank now, and their salary for one year is equivalent to their salary for the past five years, and the extra reward can even cover a year's salary at a time.
For example, Qianlong used to give Sauron soldiers a salary of 100,000 a year, and his Master Jia gave others a salary of 1 million. How can this loyalty value not soar?
"Once there is chaos in the capital, the guards here may be transferred back to the capital. If your Excellency agrees, the low-level officials can set fires and incite the surrounding people to enter the garden to grab things. When the situation stabilizes, your Excellency will send people to redeem them at low prices from the people. Return those treasures”
Laiwang calmly recounted a bold plan to loot the royal gardens.
Because this is also a rare opportunity.
It's hard to think about a next time if you miss it.
Siba!
If this robbery plan was proposed by Director Yang, or Zu Yingyuan, Wang Fu and others, Jia Liu would be able to accept it and think it was normal. But when this plan came out of Lai Wang's mouth, it was a little hard for him to accept. Already.
Because this seems to prove the truth that those who are close to vermilion are red, and those who are close to ink are black.
Could it be that in the eyes of Laiwang and others, he, Mr. Jia Jia, is just a leader who doesn't care about money and wants to burn, kill and loot when he sees good things?
I have to admit that Laiwang’s plan is at least 60% feasible.
However, after much deliberation, Jia Liu sighed, shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'll leave this garden to Goudan for his retirement."
Laiwang knows which one Goudan is.
Seeing that the Lord didn't want to do this, he thought about it and said, "If you don't want the things in the garden, I have one more suggestion."
Jia Liu signaled that he was listening, and Lai Wang would speak boldly.
He always encouraged his subordinates to tell everything they knew and to tell them everything.
Even if it's nonsense, as long as they are willing to talk to their leader, Jia Liu is willing to listen.
Unexpectedly, Lai Wang actually said that if the situation in Beijing could not be suppressed, he would take advantage of the chaos and tie the emperor to the Old Summer Palace.
"Scare the emperor to order the princes!"
Lai Wang also read the Three Kingdoms.
Jia Liu looked at it with admiration and corrected him: "You are holding the emperor hostage to order the princes!"
Lai Wang's suggestion opened a window for my originally troubled mind.
Yes, he would not have an advantage in the capital with his few manpower, but if he brought the Fourth Japs to the Old Summer Palace, wouldn't he become Cao Cao?
Even if there are only a hundred of them, they can still give the fourth devil a hard time.
Very interesting!
Unexpectedly, Demu, another Sauron bodyguard next to him, said disapprovingly: "What is Fei doing? Didn't Jingli say that the emperor is a Han? So what's the use of holding a Han emperor hostage?"
"Do you have any idea?"
Jia Liu encouraged Demu to continue to play because what he said made sense.
Demu blushed and whispered: "Sir, I don't have any ideas. I just think that the Han emperor should be protected by the Han people. How can we, the Eight Banners, fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty?"
