Chapter 604: The Curve to Save the Nation and the Mud
"Check up this Chen Huizu for me. Check out the bastards of the third generation of his ancestors. He can say that I can do anything, but he can't say that I had an affair with the fourth devil!"
Since the last dispute with Daquan about Aunt Zhao, Jia Liu lost his temper for the first time.
The matter is innocent, and anyone will jump on it.
Chen Huizu could scold him for whatever he wanted, because Jia Liu admitted that he was right to scold him, but to say that he got where he is today by serving as a fort for the Fourth Japs was not only to underestimate his ability, but also to be a real slanderer!
The reason why Guiziliu is where he is today is because of his black gun, not his butt!
Shuan Zhu was also angry at Chen Huizu for talking nonsense, saying that the young master's appearance could be taken by the emperor, and that he was not good at spreading rumors, and had no standard at all.
He carried the Qing Dynasty Official Book with him and quickly opened it to give the young master first-hand information.
This Chen Huizu was the son of former Minister of Military and Aircraft Chen Damou. Chen Damou served as governor of Zhili for two years more than 20 years ago. He was considered Jia Liu's predecessor and had a decent reputation as an official.
In addition to Chen Huizu, the Chen family currently has Chen Shengzu who serves as the governor of grain roads in Guangdong and the magistrate of Guangzhou, Chen Yanzu who serves as the county magistrate in Gansu, and Chen Jizu who serves as the prefecture magistrate in Changping under the jurisdiction of Zhili.
Even though the four brothers are all involved in officialdom, it is a typical official family and will be passed down from generation to generation.
"You draft a letter for me to send to Fu Zhongtang, saying that the governor surrendered to the enemy to open his eyes for thieves. This is actually the first case since the founding of this dynasty. If it is not dealt with strictly, it will not frighten the world. Forget it, just record it."
Jia Liu immediately dictated, to the effect that Chen Huizu was a high-ranking official in the border area. After becoming an official, he could be said to have been favored by the country. However, when the city was destroyed, he did not want to kill the enemy and sacrifice his country. Instead, the traitors knelt down and begged for mercy, which was a disgrace to the Qing Dynasty.
, such a disloyal, unfilial, honest and shameless person must be severely punished. It is best to raid the Chen family and kill his entire family.
The three Chen Huizu brothers should be dismissed from office and questioned by the Ministry of Punishment, and they must act quickly to prevent the three Chen brothers from escaping after knowing that their eldest brother has surrendered to the thief.
Why did the Qing Dynasty gain a foothold outside the customs and sweep within the customs? Isn't it because it accepted a man who was demoted from the Ming Dynasty and gained the other's brothers, nephews, in-laws, and disciples?
This lesson must be learned.
Chen Huizu seems to be a member of the mutual aid association, but now he has surrendered to the enemy and betrayed the Qing Dynasty. A rich man who wants to be his father-in-law and protect his elders and revive the Qing Dynasty will definitely not miss his old friendship.
After all, Chen Huizu's surrender to the enemy not only had extremely bad consequences, but also he would definitely make every effort to make suggestions for the Xinghan Army after surrendering to the enemy.
If a governor who is familiar with the Qing Dynasty works for thieves, the consequences will be no less than that of Hong Chengchou helping the Qing Dynasty to destroy the Ming Dynasty.
Shuan Zhu wrote it down carefully, but put forward his own opinion: "Young Master, what Chen Huizu said is beneficial to the Young Master."
"Um?"
Jia Liu motioned to Shuan Zhu to speak more clearly.
"At least it can prove the young master's innocence,"
Shuan Zhu gave the young master a knowing look, "That's what the young master doesn't have."
"This is it,"
Jia Liu lowered his head and pondered, yes, it was unbearable to hear that bastard Chen Huizu slandering his innocence so much, but when he calmed down and thought about it, the harder this bastard scolded him, the more it proved that he, Jia Jiashikai, was the Qing Dynasty.
The only loyal minister.
The combination of the three factors of loyal ministers, Qingtian and capable officials can lead to the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
With more military leaders joining us, promotion is just around the corner.
A question came to mind and he asked Shuan Zhu: "Where did Yuezhou come from so many artillery pieces?"
"do not know."
Shuan Zhu shook his head, he really didn't know about this.
Jia Liu frowned. It seemed that the intelligence work was still not done well, especially for the Xinghan Army. It was necessary to strengthen the intelligence work on the Xinghan Army. We could not stop being such a hands-off boss.
Zu Yingyuan said that the Xinghan Army obtained more than 300 large and small artillery pieces from Yuezhou that had been buried by the Wu army, and then relied on these artillery to conquer the important city of Changsha in one fell swoop, with unparalleled vigor.
At present, most of the entire territory of Hunan, except for southern Hunan and parts of western Hunan, has fallen into the hands of the Xinghan Army. Various signs indicate that the Xinghan Army, which has won a great victory in Hunan, is very likely to take advantage of the victory to attack Jiangxi or enter Guangdong and Guangxi.
No matter which direction the main attack is, it all resists Jia Liu's concept of "local conflict".
Zu Yingyuan's letter made it very clear that if the development of the Xinghan Army was not restricted, it would not be long before they would be unable to control this emerging force.
There is news that after Gu Zhengdao, the commander-in-chief of the Xinghan Army, ordered his people to visit the Zhu family clan of the former Ming Dynasty, he seemed to have plans to support Zhu Ming's descendants as kings.
Although the Ming Dynasty fell for a hundred years, Zhu Ming still had a certain influence among the people, especially in the south.
If the Han army is really allowed to adopt a descendant of Zhu Ming as emperor, it will be a big trouble for the Qing Dynasty, Gongjinhui, and Jia Liu.
Jia Liu also realized the consequences of allowing the Xinghan Army to become stronger, because the Xinghan Army was not only the Gu family, but also many Ming Dynasty survivors who had sworn enemies with the Qing court.
These people are the backbone of the Xinghan Army. As the scale of the war expands, they must have formed a force.
The situation is a bit like the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Once the momentum becomes large, mountains will inevitably appear. When these mountains grow to a certain extent, they cannot be suppressed by Jia Liu and his father-in-law Gu Zhengdao.
Moreover, everyone has ambitions, and they swept through the two provinces without any effort, and even the governor of the Qing court surrendered to them. So who can guarantee that some people in the Xinghan Army will not have greater ambitions.
Shuan Zhu had obviously thought of this and reminded the young master that he must take action to prevent the Xinghan Army from becoming too big and difficult to deal with after it captured Hunan.
At present, Jia Liu has three methods of controlling the Xinghan Army.
One is the family members of the survivors who he placed in various places in Sichuan;
The second is the supply of weapons and ammunition.
However, to put it bluntly, as the Xinghan Army grows larger, I am afraid that these two control methods will become ineffective one by one.
Compared with winning the world, family members may not be able to make the backbone members of the Xinghan Army give up their ambitions.
Not to mention weapons and ammunition, the captured artillery in Yuezhou has raised the strength of the Xinghan Army by two levels. I am afraid that even Jia Liu's Sichuan descendants cannot defeat them in a head-on confrontation.
The smoother the Xinghan army fights, the more they will capture, and thus they will be able to completely get rid of the Qing army's "partners" and go it alone.
In addition to these two methods, Jia Liu also arranged for some co-progress members to lead troops to surrender. However, the number of people was relatively small. It is certain that the Xinghan Army will recruit troops aggressively in Hunan. I am afraid that the number of troops will exceed 100,000.
As a result, the three to five thousand people who arranged the trip would not have much effect.
Shuan Zhu suggested that Zu Yingyuan, Wang Fu, Ma Dayuan, Bao Guozhong, Zhang Shisan and others cooperate with Feng Sheng'e to capture Wuchang and suppress the rising Han army. No matter how great the sacrifice, they must do so at all costs.
"No!"
Jia Liu suddenly stood up and walked to the wheat field, picked up the tea bowl he had dropped just now, wiped the soil with his sleeve and handed it to Shuan Zhu, and then told the other party: "Inform Huguang authorities and they can save the country in a roundabout way."
Shuan Zhu was puzzled and asked the young master what he meant.
"I want to be able to go over in large groups, whole battalions, whole regiments, whole brigades, or even whole divisions."
Jia Liu stirred the thick hard soil under his feet with his toes, and came up with the groundbreaking tactical concept of "harmonizing the mud."
