On the way to Xiangyang, Ji Yun was not in a good mood.
After spending three hundred taels, he finally learned a cruel truth from Deputy Director Ding - those who were praised by the prince for being like him usually died miserably.
And Ji Yun has been praised by the prince no less than three times on multiple occasions and through different channels. In theory, his name has been marked red by Zhu Pi, it just depends on when the knife above his head falls.
In order to save his life and career, Ji Yun had to give up his past deeds and would not flatter the prince even if he died.
He looked very aloof on the road. The prince didn't ask him anything and didn't speak. When the prince asked him, he gave him polite answers.
Don't mix any personal feelings, it's completely business-like.
This made Jia Liu very strange and boring. He didn't know what stimulation Ji Da Yandian, an old pervert, had suddenly changed his temper.
You must know that for more than a month, he has enjoyed the treatment of Qianlong, the fourth devil.
The kind that both TV dramas and reality have.
I even thought about taking Ji Yun for private visits when I had nothing to do. In addition to playing with women from good families, I also left some spiritual food for future generations.
It's a pity that this flatterer suddenly became serious, which made Jia Liu a little uncomfortable. He temporarily couldn't care about exploring the major changes that had happened in Ji Yun's heart, because he had too many things to deal with at hand.
First of all, Xiangyang urgently requested instructions on whether to remove Zheng Dajin, the governor of Hubei.
There are two opinions in the emergency report.
One is Wang Fu’s theory that Zheng Dajin is a good official but he can stay;
One is Zhang Dabiao’s theory that good officials do bad things.
After reading Zheng Dajin's files and considering the current development of the actual war situation in Huguang, Jia Liu was inclined to retain Zheng Dajin's position as governor of Hubei.
The reason is very simple. What he needs is a governor who does not understand military affairs but is proficient in civil affairs.
Moreover, Zheng Dajin is indeed a good official. Whether it is governing the local area, repairing rivers and water, or revitalizing the local economy, retaining him will be very beneficial to the recovery of people's livelihood in Hubei after the war.
Besides, the three governors of Huguang, Governor Chen Huizu, and Hunan governor Bayan all surrendered to the enemy and opened their eyes to the enemy. Only Miao Miao and Zheng Dajin were left. They were really wiped out. The entire echelon of senior Qing cadres in Huguang was completely wiped out.
.
Politically, the impact is not very good.
Lao Fu and the others did not put Zheng Da in jail, probably because of this consideration.
It's just that Zheng Dajin did bear unshirkable responsibility for the current situation in Hubei. Now he rejected his old army, the Sichuan Army, which made a group of old subordinates extremely dissatisfied and had to beat them. So after thinking about it, Jia Liu reported to the court as a general king.
, demoted Zheng Da to the third level and retained him.
Even Zheng Dajin's job is still the governor of Hubei, and he does the same work as a governor, but he only receives the salary of deputy director, and his rank is also deputy director.
This is not Jia Liu's innovation, but the practice of employing people in the Qing Dynasty officialdom. To put it bluntly, it means to pay for one's crimes and make meritorious service.
The Fourth Japs like to demote people and keep them for future use.
The political and living conditions have been reduced, and Zheng Dajin, the governor of Hubei, is far less valuable. With himself as a general in charge, there is no need for any messy things to happen again.
Secondly, Wang De, the admiral of Shaanxi, sent people and horses to report, and he led his troops to Gucheng in Xiangyang Prefecture, which is where Zhang Xianzhong surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and was resettled.
Wang Deyong asked whether the Shaanxi-Gansu troops were stationed in Xiangyang, or on standby in Gucheng, or if they were stationed in other important areas.
Jia Liu asked Ji Yun to reply to Wang Deyong, and all the Shaanxi-Gansu green battalions were stationed in Xiangyang City, under the unified command of General Wang Xingyuan.
In view of the expansion of the war, he lacked a big housekeeper like Xiao He to coordinate all aspects, so he wrote a letter to Asha, asking him to spend money to find a censor to submit a letter to the court, proposing to change the title of Sichuan Governor Bo Qing to Hu Guang
Governor.
The reasons are quite sufficient. Firstly, Bo Qing'e was once the leading minister; secondly, he served as deputy general of the left side of Dingxi. Governor Bo has experience in both military and logistics aspects.
Moreover, many troops on the Huguang front line were transferred from Jinchuan. Bo Qing'e was appointed as the governor of Huguang, which could quickly and effectively rectify the troops' morale that was scattered due to the failure of the Wuchang Battle.
Jia Liu believed that Lao Fu and Uncle Se would definitely agree to this petition. After all, they did not know that Bo Qing'e was the father-in-law of Liu Zi's brother.
Even if we had friendship in the past, it was just a normal work relationship and there was no suspicion of forming a party for personal gain.
In fact, Ji Yun is doing a job similar to that of Xiao He, but after all, he is not familiar with martial arts and his level is limited. At work, he can only be said to be quite satisfactory, and it is difficult to deal with sudden incidents.
Gags and romance are fine, but this guy really can't handle major military and national affairs.
By comparison, Vice President Bo is more suitable to come and help.
My father-in-law came to Huguang to be the governor to support his son-in-law. Who would be the governor of Sichuan?
Jia Liu wanted to recommend Li Shijie to be the governor of Sichuan, but the nine major frontiers must be held by bannermen. As a Han, Li Shijie was destined to be unable to be promoted to governor.
If he had the temerity to write to the court to recommend a candidate, the rich man would probably ignore him, so he did not take up the idea of becoming the governor of Sichuan.
Listen to the reason.
Even if the old man transferred his people to Sichuan and Li Shijie was there, the new governor would be nothing more than a polished commander.
Ruilin led the Jehol horse team to Xiangyang first, to do preliminary work for the army, and to contact Xiangyang regarding the food and accommodation issues for the army after they arrived.
Jia Liu repeatedly urged Ruilin to convey his "Three Don'ts" spirit to Xiangyang officials after arriving in Xiangyang.
Xiangyang civil and military personnel were not allowed to come out of the city to pick him up;
Second, it is not allowed to mobilize the people to hold welcome ceremonies;
Three are not allowed to welcome or drop off, keep everything simple.
After everything was arranged in this way, on the 26th of the winter lunar month, tens of thousands of Eight Banners disciples led by the Zhengbai Banner Guards finally arrived at Xiangyang, the last important town in Huguang.
In order to show the military power to the people and at the same time show the majesty of his general king, Jia Liu specially ordered a grand entrance ceremony, requiring that the best side be displayed.
Of course, it's mainly to show off to the old brothers.
Isn't wealth and honor returning home is like walking at night in brocade clothes?
The Zhengbai Banner Guards were the first to enter the city, followed by the Internal Affairs Bureau's Clothing Camp, Firearms Camp, Huqiang, Shanpu and Yuanmingyuan Guards Camp, and the Red and Yellow Belt Camp.
All kinds of flags, in order, jumped in.
Jia Liu himself will be the finale guest and will definitely appear last.
Sitting on a tall horse, surrounded by more than a hundred imperial guards wearing yellow mantles, he entered Xiangyang City majestically (arrogantly).
Zhenghuang Dahu, which represents the scale of the emperor, almost blinded the Banner and Han armies in Xiangyang City.
Zu Yingyuan saw Guiziliu, who was slowly approaching them immediately. Seeing that this kid had become a great general of the Qing Dynasty in a few years, and was so impressive, he couldn't help but be jealous, and murmured: "Sure enough, a real man."
That’s right!”
Wang Fu on the side heard it and tugged him gently: "Keep your voice down, don't let Guiziliu hear it."
After that, he also took a deep breath, his eyes were bright and clear, and he said ambitiously: "I can replace him!"
"Um?"
Chang Bingzhong, who was behind the two men, looked shocked, then opened his mouth slightly and said: "It is not a good thing to win the vermilion, even if the alien species is king."
A marvelous work of four million words, Mr. Jia’s past life—the legend of Eunuch Wei, the number one tiger eunuch in East Asia!
