Chapter 497 The Eight Banners will not die, and the Qing Dynasty will not die

Master Jia's headquarters was located in Taitung Tomb, which is about three miles northeast of Taitung Tomb in Dongzhengyu, which is also the auspicious place for the Queen Mother.

Taitung Mausoleum was built as early as the eighth year of Qianlong's reign. Because the Queen Mother lived too long, it lay unused for more than thirty years, making the entire mausoleum look like an unfinished building site that the developer ran away.

It's very much like a ghost town.

After the death of the Queen Mother, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs asked Toenduo, the director of the Xiling Management Committee, to prepare the transfer and burial of the Queen Mother. As a result, Toenduo wrote a letter saying that the underground palace was in disrepair and that the surface and underground works needed to be renovated before the Queen Mother could be buried.

To move in, the construction period would take more than a month at the earliest, so the Queen Mother had to settle down in Cining Palace first and then move to Lingchang Spring Garden.

Originally, Jia Liu planned to let the Queen Mother live directly with her husband, but now it is no longer necessary, because Queenie said that there is nothing valuable in the Queen Mother's underground palace, and the funerary objects and other funerary items have not yet been sent to Beijing.

When the time comes, Queenie can arrange it and send it directly to the prince-in-law's house. There is no need to go back and forth and waste people's money and money.

Even a radish shipped from the capital to Tailing has become the price of a bunch of radishes.

Queenie's financial calculations were good, which made Jia Liu realize that he was really talented.

The other thing is that the old lady has a concubine Nian, and if the old concubine comes over, what if concubine Nian and the empress dowager team up to bully Jia Liu and his direct relative, the old concubine, isn't this a good intention and a bad thing?

Only when the family is harmonious can everything be prosperous.

The command center is in the Long'en Hall of Taitung Mausoleum. There are no valuable objects in the hall, just some copper deers, copper cranes, and copper furnaces.

Jia Liu really doesn't like these things.

Most of the accompanying officers and soldiers lived in Long'en Gate and the two side halls, and they could make do with food and accommodation. However, the latrines were a big problem. In order not to affect the environment of Taitung Tomb, Jia Liu did not allow the soldiers to defecate at will. If they needed convenience, they would go to the nearby forest.

.

At Youshi, around seven o'clock in the evening, Queenie came.

When they arrived, they found Lady Jia Jia soaking her feet in a hot water bucket and playing chess with the officer named Zamul.

Go game with black and white pieces.

Such a calm look reminds him of the famous Eastern Jin general Xie Xuan during the Battle of Feishui. Now imagine that Master Jia Jia is Wu Nengyibatulu, who fought against rebels in Sichuan, suppressed religious bandits in Shandong, and suppressed rebels in the palace.

The thief, who had been a loyal and brave protector in the Qianqing Palace, was indeed very impressive in martial arts, and Queenie felt even more at ease.

"Have you eaten?"

No matter who he met, Jia Liu would always ask the other person if they had eaten first. This was a habit engraved in his bones.

Queenie said she had eaten at Tai Ling's place just now.

"Sit down, sit down first, let me get ahead of the younger ones first."

As he spoke, Jia Liuluo made a move, and then heard Zamul say: "I didn't see this side, so I can't count!"

"A true gentleman has no regrets when he loses chess!"

Jia Liu didn't give Zamul a chance and picked out the five black chess pieces that had been connected in a line one by one from the chessboard.

Jamur had no choice but to abandon his son and admit defeat.

Queenie was shocked. If he counted correctly, there were only nine black and white pieces on the chessboard. How could the winner be determined?

"This game of backgammon is better than chess in terms of fierceness, and even better than Go in terms of intelligence."

Jia Liuwuzi made a decisive kill, feeling very proud of himself, and signaled Zamul to go out and face the wall to reflect on his mistakes.

He turned his head and asked Queenie: "Is the emperor asleep?"

When Kuini came, it seemed that the emperor had summoned Zhou Yuanli, the governor of Zhili, Cai Xin, the minister of war, and others.

Jia Liu nodded and said nothing.

This must be the fourth devil who is covering for himself, thinking that by meeting the ministers, he can attract the attention of the old rich man, which will make it easier for Jia Liu to launch an army to kill the thieves.

However, I paid a red heart by mistake.

The biggest traitor is Liuzi Jia.

Queenie knew that something was going to happen that night, but she didn't know when exactly, and she didn't dare to ask. But there was a doubt in her heart, and she hesitated whether to say it or not.

When Jia Liu saw it, he chuckled and let Queenie have any ideas, but it was okay.

In this way, Kuini mustered up the courage to say: "Sir, although Zalantai conspired to rebel, the Jehol garrison flag soldiers he commanded were actually our Eight Banners Forbidden Brigade, and they were also responsible for coercing the various tribes in Monan. If they didn't

At this point, I'm afraid something might happen to Mongolia."

What Kuini means is that the Eight Banners Soldiers in Rehe not only protect the important town in the northeast of Gyeonggi Province, but are also the link inside and outside the customs. They are also responsible for the task of preparing for war against Mongolia. It is best not to destroy them unless it is absolutely necessary.

In other words, only the first culprits should be killed, and the rest should be given the opportunity to perform meritorious service. They should not be regarded as rebels. After all, 60% of the Eight Banners' capable troops are currently in Sichuan and Huguang, and the north can no longer mobilize too many troops.

If the Rehe soldiers had not caused this chaos, the Eight Banners Central Army's military strength in the north would have been extremely empty. As for the current situation of the Eight Banners in Beijing, everyone is well aware of it.

The situation is quite similar to that of the Ming Dynasty, where the central imperial army existed in name only and was maintained entirely by soldiers from the nine sides.

"You mean to say that if I suppress the rebellious Rehe banner soldiers, our Qing Dynasty will be destroyed?"

In terms of reading comprehension, Jia Liu always gets perfect marks.

Queenie hurriedly said: "Sir, that's not what I mean. What I mean is..."

"It goes without saying,"

Jia Liu's face was filled with anger, and he banged the table with a bang. He stood up in a hurry, raised his hands, and spoke righteously and sonorously: "As long as the Eight Banners do not die, our Qing Dynasty will not die!"

After saying that, he got up and went outside the house without even wearing shoes.

On the square outside Long En Hall, there are more than a dozen fireworks brought from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which were kept in stock for the Queen Mother's 80th birthday.

The manufacturer on the packaging is called "Pedehou", a fireworks manufacturer in Liuyang, Hunan, and was designated as a tribute to the imperial court by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"Your Mightiness!"

Baozhu handed over the torch.

Taking the torch, Jia Liu walked barefoot to the first firework on the right. As the fuse burned, he heard a "swish" sound, and then a "bang" sound came from mid-air, and colorful fireworks rose into the sky above Taitung Tomb.

At the same time, there were fireworks exploding in the sky more than a mile away, and then there were fireworks exploding in the sky more than a mile away.

Like a relay, it spreads from Taitung Tomb to the east.

On Xiliu Mountain, Yan Fengyuan, the former deputy marshal of the Ever Victorious Army and now the seventh-rank commander of Shandong Green Camp, saw fireworks exploding in the sky in the distance. He was immediately excited and hurried to the only place where the commander-in-chief was drinking and eating meat to report: "

My lord, the Tatars have rebelled!"

"What a Tatar rebellion, nonsense!"

The only one was not in a hurry. He gnawed away the mutton leg bone in his hand and took another sip of old wine before wiping his mouth with his sleeve. He picked up the saber and walked out of the shack. After staring at the south slope to the north, he unsheathed the long sword.

He shouted to the waiting officers: "Listen here, the Eight Banners soldiers in Rehe have rebelled, and it's time to help the imperial court! Kill them!"

"kill!"

More than 3,000 Shandong Green Camp soldiers, led by the commander-in-chief Youyi, ran towards the south slope with torches and shouts. They were very energetic, as if they were different people just like when they fought against the Qingshui Cult bandits and fled after hearing the news.

of.

There is a rush to be the first, and you are fighting to catch up with me. It is a group of brave people.
