After coming out of the Taishan Temple, Jia Liu seemed to be a different person. His head no longer hurt, his thoughts were no longer heavy, his walking was no longer wobbly, and the soles of his feet were no longer slippery.
In short, whatever you eat makes you feel good, and whatever you do makes you feel energetic.
This is the power of faith!
For more than 10,000 people, ten cents per person is only a few hundred thousand taels, which is only a few hundred taels of silver per year based on the exchange rate.
In order to attract the attention of the monks in the temple, Jia Liu paid a one-time payment of three years' service fee, plus tips, a total of one thousand taels.
He won't donate the money for sesame oil, but tips are acceptable.
The two properties are different.
Ji Yun didn't notice the problem at first, but when he discovered the problem, Jia Liu settled the bill with the temple generously.
Shocked, he quickly chased him out, reminding the prince not to act too hastily. If all the clan members who accompanied the army were killed in this battle, the prince would not only lose the support of the clan, but also become the common enemy of the clan. How could peace be achieved in that way?
Emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
Even if the prince really wants to use the help of the Xinghan Army to purge the Aisin Gioro children, he cannot do it so blatantly or too deliberately. Half of them die, and all of them die. That means even a fool knows that there is something wrong with the general Wang, and there is a big problem.
question.
"When you fight for your country, you must make sacrifices. Make offerings in advance just to be prepared. Don't think too much about it. My king's name is also among them."
Jia Liu did not lie to Lao Ji, his name was really on the list.
As the commander-in-chief of the army and the role model for the clan members, how could he not take the lead?
The news of what happened in Taishan Temple today is no less than carrying a coffin in front of the army. It will surely boost the morale of the three armies and encourage the Aisin Gioro disciples to fight bravely against the enemy.
There is nothing superstitious about it. His portrait is still hanging in the Ziguang Pavilion, and all the neighbors look like Ah Piao.
As for how many Aixinjueluo children would be sacrificed, Jia Liu was not sure, because he did not know whether the South would accept his olive branch of peace.
If the peace talks break down due to the presence of careerists, a solution by force will have to be put on the agenda.
In order to ensure that the south could accept his own terms for peace talks, Jia Liu had mobilized all his forces to ensure that the Xinghan Army could not capture Anqing, the gateway to Nanjing. But at the same time, it also ensured that the Qing army in Anqing could not defeat the Xinghan Army, thus creating a deadlock.
"It turns out that the prince thought this way, because the lower official is superficial!"
Ji Yun felt deeply ashamed of his ignorance.
Jia Liu casually grabbed a handful of snow, shaped it into a snowball and threw it into the distance. He turned to ask Ji Yun, "By the way, how is the progress of what I told you?"
Ji Yun was stunned for a moment and shook his head and said he had no clue.
"Why are you so clueless? Ming Taizu is Zhu Chongba, I can be Zhu Chongliu! No, it can be the third prince of Zhu, the third great-grandson of Zhu, or whatever. If it doesn't work, any descendant of the troubled prince of the Zhu family will end up among the people.
You just make it up for me to adopt something for the Jia family, why can't it be done!"
I'm really angry. This old boy Ji Yun even dares to revise "History of the Ming Dynasty" randomly. It's so difficult to ask him to change his identity.
"I think you Jiyun is not clueless, but he is resistant to this king! Yes, Qianlong is not kind to you. Are you doing some trick of being in Cao's camp but in Han's heart?"
The more he looked at Ji Yun, an old pervert, the more Jia Liu felt that the old boy was not absolutely loyal to him and actually wanted to beat him up.
Sure enough, Ji Yun was frightened by these harsh words and quickly defended himself, saying that it was too difficult to rewrite the ancestral genealogy for the prince's family, because he looked through the information and found nothing about the Jia family that could be linked to Zhu Ming.
"Whether you are loyal or not depends on your actions! If you can't handle trivial matters, you are disloyal to me!"
In anger, Jia Liu punched hard with both fists, and the two snowballs were crushed to pieces by him.
This shows how powerful the palm is.
Ji Yun was so panicked that he quickly knelt down: "Your Majesty, I am so loyal to you!"
"Yu Zhong?"
Jia Liu snorted angrily, rolled his eyes, and said coldly, "Since you Ji Xiaolan said that you are completely loyal to me, then I want you to die, will you go?"
"My subordinates are favored by the prince, and they should be treated like nobles of the country. Even if a hundred deaths are not enough, I can only obey the prince's orders!"
Ji Yun's attitude was very upright, but what he said was a bit against his will, because he was forced to board this pirate ship.
Just when Jia Liu thought that the old boy was really going to die, Ji Yun changed the topic and said with a depressed expression: "But it is not a pity for me to die as an official, but the prince will get the bad name of killing Zhongliang. To gain the prince's reputation, I will
It’s better for you to make a living as an official for the time being.”
Jia Liu's face twitched: "Old Ji, I think you are becoming more and more like me."
"It's all thanks to the cultivation of the prince!"
Ji Yun forced out a dry smile. He had followed the general Wang for a month, and he had figured out his temper. He knew that this young prince treated his subordinates very well, not in a pretentious way, but sincerely.
good.
That is, as long as you sincerely do things for him, he will definitely treat you well.
Therefore, it is impossible for the prince to want him to die.
Ji Yun really guessed it right. After staring at him again and again, Jia Liu got into the carriage back to Xinye with some depression.
Seeing the prince getting on the carriage, Ji Yun let out a sigh of relief and was glad that he was not with the wrong person.
If it were Qianlong, the fourth devil, I wouldn't know how to scold him.
Unexpectedly, just when he was rejoicing, Ding Qing, who was in charge of the Eight Banners Internal Affairs Committee, appeared next to him at some point, and then sighed in his ear: "Ji Sang, you are finished."
On the other side, the captain of the security team who was responsible for the prince's security looked at him with strange eyes, which made Ji Yun's neck feel cold for no reason.
After returning to the city, Jia Liuyi processed the official documents sent from various places as before, and set off from Xinye to Xiangyang two days later.
As the last important large city controlled by the Qing army in Huguang, Xiangyang was the last gateway to resist the Xing Han army from invading Henan. Once this place was captured by the Xing Han army, they would be able to use Xiangyang as a springboard to invade the Central Plains.
Whether Nanjing is captured or not is not that important.
The Qing army obviously also knew the importance of Xiangyang. Therefore, after the Battle of Wuchang, the main remaining Qing army in Huguang basically retreated to the Xiangyang area, mainly the Sichuan Army and the Yunnan Army, as well as some remaining soldiers from the Huguang Green Battalion.
, Jiangxi Green Camp, with a total strength of about 30,000 people.
The most senior official in the city was Zheng Dajin, the governor of Hubei who escaped from the Battle of Wuchang, followed by Chang Qing, the governor of Yunnan who was seriously ill.
In terms of rank alone, Commander-in-Chief Wang Fu of Sichuan was only ranked sixth in the city, but Commander-in-Chief Wang had the most weight in Xiangyang City.
Without it, there would be over ten thousand Sichuan soldiers in the city.
However, Zheng Dajin, the governor of Hubei, did not trust the Sichuan soldiers very much. The reason was that Chongqing deputy general Ma Dayuan led his troops to rebel and surrender to the traitors, which directly led to Dingxi General Feng Sheng'e's death in battle and his country's martyrdom.
Therefore, Zheng Futai was wary of the Sichuan soldiers and was afraid of a recurrence of the tragedy. Therefore, he secretly wooed the generals of the Yunnan Army and Jiangxi Green Camp Chief Ma Youde, etc., and his supply to the Sichuan Army was often insufficient.
The Sichuan army was dissatisfied with this.
I haven't had much energy these past two days, so I may not be able to write satisfactorily, but I have to write. This is the author's sadness and helplessness.
