As time went by, Jia Liu felt more and more something was wrong.
A group of guests came, but they were all members of the Jia family, Daquan's direct uncles and brothers.
These two men, Jia Liu and Jia Liu, have not known each other since they were young, and they have all lived their own lives over the years. Whatever happens, they basically take care of themselves.
Although there is a reason for the separation of families, the key is that Daquan was not a good person in the early years and clearly offended his elder brother and younger brother.
To put it bluntly, in his early years, Jia Daquan was really a generous person who did not recognize his relatives.
Sometimes after drinking too much, I would pick up a knife and chase my uncle-in-law’s butt.
Xiliu Hutong is famous for its stupid people.
That is to say, after his son became rich, Daquan changed his appearance and started thinking about going back and forth with his brothers and visiting relatives.
But it's mostly due to jealousy.
Most of the time, my son's exams cost 100 per exam, and my neighbor Gu Ritian's son took three exams and only got 150 in total. So I would kindly ask the Gu family's son how he did in the exams to show his concern.
Except for this group of men and women whom Jia Liu was not familiar with, they were all friends on Daquan Road.
This is Jia Liu's understanding, and the folks may call it Lianqiao or something like that.
Just a bunch of prostitutes.
Of course, Jia Liu would not pay attention to this group of people. If he could not lower his face and attack others, it would be a big deal.
There is no pudding in the dealings with his son, and his comings and goings are always compared with those of his superiors. If Daquan, as a father, is considered a failure.
The invitations were sent to Jia Liu's mother, the Lu family, but the problem was that Jia Liu's uncles didn't come at all.
A few years ago, my nephew got married. For the sake of their deceased sister, and because my nephew personally came to invite her, they put aside their past grudges and had a wedding banquet.
When Jia Liu hosted a full-moon banquet for his eldest daughter Wen Jing, his uncles and uncles also came, but this had nothing to do with Daquan.
What's more, Daquan is still a cub born to his wife. How can the Lu family look good on him?
Not coming is the right thing to do.
Apart from this group of people, there is just a delegation.
Delegation of the Eight Banners of the Han Army.
The leader is Hong Dade, the commander of the Xianghuang Banner and a descendant of the great traitor Hong Chengchou;
The deputy leader is Li Fengyao, the commander-in-chief of the Zhenghuang Banner and a descendant of the great traitor Li Yongfang. This guy was originally an imperial guard, and his elder brother is Li Shiyao, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.
The members are Hao Yuan'an, the commander of the Zhengbai Banner; Ma Yong, the commander of the Xiangbai Banner; Gao Gongzhi, the commander of the Zhenghong Banner; and Wu Guokui, the commander of the Xianghong Banner.
Zu Jianchang, the leader of the Zhenglan Banner, was Zu Yingyuan's father, and his ancestor was Zu Dashou's grandson.
The commander of Xianglan Banner was Deng Tong, and his cousin was Chang Bingzhong.
The Eight Banners of the Han Army are now very powerful. After the ominous events in the city, with Jia Liu's strong encouragement and support, the armed organization spontaneously established by the Eight Banners of the Han Army transformed into the Eight Banners Central Forbidden Army - the Forward Battalion.
The total number of soldiers was more than 8,000. Although their combat effectiveness was worrying and they could not be used as a decisive force, they at least marked the Han Army's Eight Banners to stand up.
The pattern formed by the Han army's Eight Banners possessing armed forces broke the ancestral system that the Han army could not hold positions above the Eight Banners' leaders.
When Jia Liu left Beijing and took office in Baoding, he instructed Hong Dade and others to strive for the Han army to be the leader of the Eight Banners. For this reason, he had a fierce dispute with the old rich man who led the government. In the end, the old rich man had to forge an edict to confer the title of Hong Dade and others in the name of Qianlong.
As the commander of the Han army, in exchange for more than 300,000 people in the eight banners of the Han army, they obeyed the court and did not cause trouble.
The eight governors are all descendants of Class A traitors, and the deputy governors are all descendants of Class A traitors in principle.
The following officers and assistants were basically based on the list of selected ministers compiled by Qianlong as the standard for their appointment.
Even today, the management positions of the Eight Banners of the Han Army are completely filled by descendants of traitors.
However, the position of Dutong was restructured many times by Qianlong, and became an honorary position like the Imperial Censor of the Imperial Palace, that is, an additional title. The actual power was not great, and he could only manage the banner's money, food and personnel.
Therefore, the Eight Banners of the Han Army have to work harder to gain more power.
The left and right commanders of the forward battalion are Hao Yuanan and Deng Tong. These two people are also the only people in the Bazhu Kingdom who have experience in leading troops.
Before the palace rebellion, the Eight Banners Central Forbidden Army had actually disintegrated.
The Forward Battalion, the Firearms Battalion, the Qinjun Battalion, the Shanpu Battalion, and the Jianrui Battalion suffered two major defeats when they were in Jinchuan, one was the Battle of Muguomu, and the other was the Mingliang Camp Incident.
In addition, in order to completely eliminate the Agui Group, the old rich maniacally massacred more than 200 officers of the "A' Party". In order to realize the martial arts spirit of the Eight Banners, Jia Liu also killed hundreds of passionate Manchu and Mongolian backbones, making the Eight Banners Forbidden Army exist in name only.
The only relatively complete possibility is that the Imperial Guards of the Old Summer Palace and the Third Coating Battalion of the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not even dare to be sent to the battlefield by Qianlong.
In Jia Liu's eyes, one of these two troops is probably a security group and the other is a black dog.
Look at what's on the door, it's nothing but what it is.
Now the rebuilt pro-military camp and Shangsanqihu military camp are actually controlled by Prince An, Prince Se, who together with the palace guards controls about thirteen regiments.
The old man took the Shanpu Camp (rebuilt by the Mongolian Eight Banners armed forces), the Three Banners Coated Guards of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Forward, and the Xiaoqi Third Battalion in his hands, together with the Jianrui Camp rebuilt by the Eight Banners soldiers from Xiaojiu, Zhili.
The 3,000 soldiers brought by Maerqin, the commander-in-chief of Sichuan, were scattered here and there, and controlled about twelve regiments.
There are more than a dozen regiments of troops on Jia Liu's side, but they are all outside the capital.
There are no direct troops in the capital in name, but they can influence the strength of the eight regiments of the forward battalion, plus their own guards and underground forces. If the full force is full and there is a real fight, ten regiments can be drawn.
Moreover, whether it was the pervert or the rich man, he had infiltration.
Therefore, this was also the reason why he dared to go to Beijing for meetings.
The arrival of Bashi Zhuguo was warmly welcomed and grandly entertained by Jia Liu, and then he learned from Hong Dade that the old rich man had actually informed all government offices that they were not allowed to be absent from court without any reason, were not on duty, and were not allowed to be late or leave early.
No wonder I waited at home for a long time but no guests came to my door. It turned out that the old rich man made four urgent regulations.
Jia Liu was so angry that he almost said that the old rich man was like Sanmao, Nezha, and King Kong Gourd Baby back then...
Anyway, adults can't do this.
"My dear nephew, although we old guys are on the official's errands, we are all in name only. It doesn't matter whether we sit in the palace or not. You are not afraid that Fu Zhongtang will fire us from our posts and fine us our salaries, but the others will
It’s hard to say, you know, after all.”
What Hong Dade meant was that the wise nephew of the Jia family should not be angry, let alone angry. In any case, Fulehun held the emperor in his arms because the court had justice.
Besides, these rules imposed by the old boy seem to be fine, at least in terms of etiquette, I can't fault others.
Zu Jianchang also advised Jia Liu not to be so fussy with Fulhun, but to quickly discuss the matter of the Hat King, which was the most important thing at hand.
Jia Liu's face was uncertain. The old rich man did some inhuman things, and the same thing happened when he sold his official position last time. He made a good promise at the front, but sealed off work early, which almost ruined his good deeds.
This time, I couldn't take my breath away.
The problem is that Hong Dade and the others are telling the truth. They can't make trouble with the foreman, the military minister, just because the officials don't come to give gifts.
What kind of words are spread out?
But it's not Jia Liu's character to just swallow his breath. You must know that what he lost was not a large gift, but face.
Is it the court's etiquette that is more important, or Master Jia Jia's face?
If officials are unclear about this issue, they will make mistakes.
Thinking of this, his eyes couldn't help but roll, and he turned to look at Ding Qing beside him, and ordered: "You take a team of people and drive my carriage to the elder brother's place, and you must invite the fifteenth elder brother to me no matter what."
