The eldest sister Jia Yun did not get married in Beijing because her second uncle Jia Dazhong took the initiative three years ago and moved his family to Linyu County in Yongping Prefecture in the east of Jingdong.
This place is not far from Shanhaiguan.
The attitude of the uncle and nephew on the matter of raising the flag is really completely different.
In order not to be betrayed, my nephew was so worried that his kidneys were weak.
My uncle, on the other hand, received the relevant subsidies from the Dutong Yamen without saying a word, sold his house and decisively left Beijing to become a Han Chinese.
If he's not a nephew, he's not a nephew at all. Maybe being an uncle is the right choice.
The letter was sent by someone from Daquan. The reason was that the second uncle did not know that his nephew had become the governor of Zhili, so the letter was directly delivered to the elder brother's house in Mancheng, Beijing.
The letter said that the eldest sister was married to a local scholar named Lin in Luan County, who was three years older than the eldest sister.
The family also came from the Han Army Banner family, and their ancestors had followed Li Yingying, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, to defeat Sun Kewang and Liu Wenxiu of the Great Western Army. However, the Lin family had raised the banner as early as the 27th year of Qianlong's reign, and they were among the first to raise the banner.
The second uncle, Dazhong, had a good relationship with Lin Xiucai's father when they were in Qili. They grew up together with Niba when they were young. Therefore, after leaving the banner, he also went to Linyu County and rented 30 acres of land there from the Manchurian soldiers guarding the border.
In addition, during the off-season, I went with Lin Xiucai's father to sell some furs outside the customs and sold them in the customs. The family lived a decent life.
Perhaps due to the heavy burden of life on his family, Jia Dazhong has not returned to Beijing since he raised his flag. That is to say, when he first settled in Linyu, he sent two letters to his eldest brother to talk about the current situation.
At that time, Jia Liu was enlightening in Jinchuan and was before his ascension.
Later, when I returned to Beijing to marry a wife, I thought about informing my second uncle to come back for a wedding banquet. I also asked someone to deliver the letter to my second uncle. I didn't want my second uncle to go out with someone and sell fur and not know about my nephew's marriage.
In short, due to various misfortunes, Jia Liu and his second uncle never met each other.
In Daquan's letter, he told his son to go to Linyu no matter how busy he was, because he was the only male in the fourth generation of the Jia family, and his uncle was marrying his daughter. If the sky fell, he, his uncle, would also be there to help him.
Do your best to ensure that this family relationship can continue.
As for myself, I really can’t go to Daquan.
It's not that he is too old to ride in a car, but that his wife is also about to give birth.
Aunt Zhao's belly is swollen and she is probably going to give birth in the next few days.
It was unlucky that Aunt Zhao's husband Qin San died in front of the army. He was ambushed by thieves when he was transporting grain to the front line. It's a pity that this official has only been in the job for half a year. He is really jealous of his youth, which makes people sigh.
Sichuan Green Camp specially sent someone to report the funeral, and sent the 35 taels of silver that Qin San had died in the line of duty to Aunt Zhao.
As a result, Aunt Zhao almost fainted when she was so excited. When she woke up, she cried and told her unfortunate life experience. How could such a big belly be so harmful to her body? Daquan was afraid that something would happen, and she was waiting at her every day, so she didn't dare.
Leaving Beijing to go to Linyu to drink my niece’s wedding banquet.
He asked his son to go on his behalf, and asked someone to bring a hundred taels of silver notes and a pair of pure gold bracelets to his second brother Dazhong, as a token of his affection for his niece.
It's a shame to say that Jia Liu really didn't take care of his second uncle's family in the past two years.
Thinking again about the love his second uncle had for him when he was a child, he decided to make time to go there no matter what, and sort out the Shanhaiguan garrison issue.
Shanhaiguan has a Manchu garrison of 1,200 people.
1,200 people were not many, and Jia Liu would have no interest in taking care of them if they were elsewhere. But these Manchu soldiers were stationed at Shanhaiguan, so he had to go.
See if you can firmly control this important town that isolates the inside and outside of the pass, so that in the future, if the Jia family has Aisin Gioro descendants who want to escape to the outside of the pass, they will not cause trouble to him.
My eldest sister Jia Yun’s wedding is on August 12th, and today is the second day of the Lunar New Year. There are still ten days left, so I can make it in time.
Jia Liu asked Shuan Zhu to tidy up and officially ended his devil training in Dagu Water Camp.
A month of intensive military training had made him, the governor-general, so miserable that his belly was protruding.
There is nothing I can do, I ate too many sea cucumbers.
The results of the large-scale military training are remarkable. Officials are like officials and soldiers are like soldiers.
The entire navy's appearance is not to say that it is earth-shaking, but at least it looks comfortable overall.
Before leaving, he gave some instructions to Zamul, who was temporarily acting as the deputy admiral of the Navy, and then took the people to leave Dagu for Tianjin.
This trip to Tianjin was mainly for talks with Xu Ji, the top leader in Tianjin.
There are three main contents of the meeting.
The first is the matter of organizing and training the new army in Tianjin.
Jia Liu planned to organize and train three new armies in Tianjin. One of the new armies would be recruited locally in Tianjin, and the other two would be recruited in Shandong.
The recruitment of troops in Tianjin will definitely trouble the local boss Xu Ji. Without the cooperation of the governor, even Jia Liu, the governor of Zhili, would not be able to directly mobilize the officials below to do things for him.
In Shandong, he had already sent a letter to Governor Cathay and General Soldier Weiyi to say hello, and sent a working group to Shandong, hoping that Cathay and Commander-in-Chief could cooperate with the recruitment work.
The reason why we recruit soldiers from two towns in Shandong is because Shandong just experienced the Qingshui Rebellion last year and people's livelihood was in decline. Therefore, recruiting soldiers from two towns in Shandong can firstly give a large number of unemployed young people a job, and secondly, it can also reduce the pressure on public security in Shandong.
Regarding recruiting troops, Jia Liu actually didn't have many requirements.
It is best to be literate, but it is okay to be illiterate, mainly young people from rural areas.
After the soldiers are recruited and entered the camp, instead of rushing into training, they should first carry out a literacy campaign for one or two months, and strive to enable the soldiers to write and read the simplest Chinese characters commonly used in daily life.
To this end, Jia Liu is also planning to simplify the traditional Chinese characters.
The second thing is about the Beiyang Commerce Yamen and the Tianjin Customs Supervision Yamen.
The establishment of these two yamen has been given by Lao Fu. The former is from the third rank, and the latter is from the fourth rank.
Equivalent to two department-level units.
Two new units were established in Tianjin at once, and they were related to sea trade. The Tianjin Governor's Yamen would definitely get a share of the pie.
It's a question of how to divide the cake.
The third thing is the East-West Provincial Road planned to be built by Jia Liu.
That is, the highway from Tianjin Port to Baoding, as well as the prefecture roads and county roads that extend around Tianjin Port.
All these require cooperation from Tianjin.
In addition, the Beiyang trade issue involves the issue of attracting investment.
Once the hardware is completed, there must be merchants to buy and sell goods.
This requires the government to introduce a series of pro-business policies, so Jia Liu and Xu Ji, a local snake, have to study and negotiate.
Because he had notified Tianjin in advance, Xu Ji specially sent people out of the city to welcome him. He even led the Tianjin gentry to line up at the city gate to welcome the Governor-General of Zhili.
It has been almost a year since the last meeting with Xu Ji. At that time, Jia Liu was still the prime minister of the third rank. Now he is the governor of the second rank. He is also nominally Xu Futai's superior. The world is changing so fast that it is shocking. Jaw-dropping.
After the welcoming ceremony, Jia Liu entered the city accompanied by Xu Ji, and then the two parties began formal talks at the governor's Yamen.
What Xu Futai was not used to was that several reporters from the "Qing Daily" were present when the governor was meeting with him to take notes.
