"Old Ji, in your eyes, am I the kind of ruthless person who doesn't recognize his relatives? The kind of shameless person who does whatever it takes to achieve his goals!"
Jia Liu was really angry. He didn't expect Ji Yun, an old pervert, to think so badly of him.
With the conscience of heaven and earth, Yuanyuan and Keqing went to Wuchang to wish her grandpa and uncle in their old age.
There is no political purpose.
Even if there is, it is just a call from family affection.
It can be understood as normal relatives walking around.
What does it have to do with being a hostage?
Different political stances are political stances, but kinship and blood ties will never change.
Jia Liu saw this very clearly and believed that improper blood relations were affected by politics.
Even if there is a red eye between the two parties, you still have to move when you need to.
This is called the distinction between public and private.
Therefore, even if the common people are at the end of their rope, they cannot let their wives and children become bargaining chips in political exchanges.
Not to mention sending his wife and children there to be used as hostages in exchange for the so-called flag man's second cooperation.
Deputy Director Ji realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said. Seeing that the prince's face was frighteningly dark, he hurriedly made a "bang" sound on the spot and bowed ninety degrees.
"You are a good old man, but sometimes you look at things superficially. To tell you the truth, I will not sell my wife and children even if I go bankrupt. This is the bottom line for a man, a husband, and a father!"
Jia Liu rolled up his sleeves and went to eat angrily, leaving Deputy Director Ji with a frightened look on his face.
Looking at the retreating figure of the prince, Deputy Director Ji looked around, suddenly raised his head and said, "What are you pretending to be? Your child doesn't even want a father, but you still care about your wife and children!"
Jia Liu, who was walking in front of him, was suddenly disturbed. His steps immediately stopped and he looked suspiciously at Lao Ji behind him.
In his sight, everything was normal with Lao Ji, still bowing at a 90-degree angle, as if he would never straighten his waist if he didn't leave.
"There's something wrong with Lao Ji,"
Jia Liu turned around and was about to tell Baozhu to spy on Ji Yun and collect dirty information about him, but when his words came to his lips, he turned into a question.
"Baozhu, do you think that if I leave my wife and Keqing as hostages in Wuchang, will my old Taishan and brother-in-law be able to shake hands with me and have a good time?"
"this"
Baozhu looked sideways and thought over and over again, unable to give the President a clear reply.
Because he is not the father-in-law or brother-in-law of His Excellency the President.
"I knew it would be useless to ask you."
Jia Liu shook his head, looked at Lao Ji, who was motionless, and raised his hand again and again to summon the messenger, ordering an urgent message to be sent to Xiangyang immediately.
After General Wang went to Dangyang, Zu Yingyuan, the newly appointed governor of Hunan and admiral of Huguang, returned to Wusheng Pass from Xiangyang.
Sure enough, not two days after Zu Yingyuan returned to Wusheng Pass, the Minister of Internal Affairs Niu Lunbao found Bo Qing'e, the governor of Huguang who was acting for military and political affairs, and said that the Ministry of War had instructions for him to command the coating camp of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Yuanmingyuan military camp, and the firearms
Battalion and the Huguang Green Battalion launched an attack on Huangzhou.
"The Emperor has an edict. All matters before the army are decided by the General. Not to mention that the Ministry of War cannot interfere. Even the Military Aircraft Department has no right to ask whether to launch an offensive against Huangzhou. I think it is best for the Minister of Internal Affairs to ask the General the King for instructions."
Of course, Governor Bo would not agree with Nulenbao's "walking alone", but his words were not too fierce, because apparently he, the Governor of Huguang, was not from Prince Rui's faction, and even acted as a check on Prince Rui.
"Your Majesty has gone to Dangyang. The so-called war opportunity is fleeting. Every time you report it, it will definitely delay the war opportunity."
Niulunbao said that according to reliable information, the bandit army in Huangzhou only numbered more than 10,000 people, and they had to defend several cities. The troops were extremely scattered. It was also the New Year, and the bandit army was lax in guarding, so it was the best time to use troops.
As long as all the ministries work together and move quickly, Huangzhou can be captured within half a month. By then, not only can Wuchang be cut off from the Hunan and Jiangxi bandit armies, but it can also cooperate with General Wang's "Spring Offensive."
That is, we are resolute and must launch this offensive.
Seeing this situation, Bo Qing'e had no choice but to speak in an official tone and remind the ministers that the consequences of mobilizing troops without the order of the General Wang would be serious.
The implication is that he, the governor of Huguang, has only been in office for a few days, and he is really unwilling to bear any responsibility arising from this incident.
Niulunbao also knew that Bo Qing'e was an "old fritter", so he didn't say much at the moment and directly presented a secret order from Beijing.
The decree was actually to grant Niulunbao the title of Co-organizer of the University, granting him a pair of beautiful eyes and feathers, and specializing in military aircraft.
The co-sponsored bachelor's degree was established in the fourth year of Qianlong's reign, with a quota of one Manchu and Han, starting from the first grade of senior officials.
This position is like the political affairs of the Song Dynasty, and it is the deputy position of the bachelor of the Military Aircraft Department. It is stipulated that it can only be selected from the six ministers or governors, internal ministers, and imperial ministers.
Since the 13th year of Qianlong's reign, all the co-organizers of the bachelor's degree program have basically been "princes", and Zhaohui, Fu Heng, etc. have all been awarded.
The co-organizing bachelors were only responsible to the imperial court, so even if Niulunbao was under the control of the general Wang Jie, he still had the privilege of acting arbitrarily and reporting later.
Even if there is a conflict with the general king, he can submit a letter and make a decision by the emperor.
Theoretically, Bo Qing'e, the governor of Huguang, also had to take orders from the co-organizing bachelor.
The official rank was suppressed to death, and Niulunbao also had official documents from the Ministry of War. Bo Qing'e had no choice but to acquiesce to Niulunbao's deployment of troops and generals, and provided money, food and military supplies for his troops according to his share.
There is no deduction, no prevarication, everything is done impartially.
After receiving financial and food support from the Governor of Huguang, Niulunbao immediately sent an order to Zu Yingyuan, the governor of Hunan and the governor of Huguang, as co-organizer of the bachelor's degree, asking his Huguang Green Battalion to cooperate with the Eight Banners Army in launching an offensive against Huangzhou.
Zu Yingyuan did not refuse the request to co-organize the bachelor's degree, and mobilized the Huguang Green Battalion under his command to prepare to cooperate with Nulenbao to attack Huangzhou.
The Huguang Green Camp currently has more than 14,000 soldiers. The main force is from Jinchuan Town, the former Sichuan Green Camp. In addition, there are remnants of the former Huguang Green Camp, including some rural warriors training.
The entire army was reorganized into three towns, with Madri, Xindasu, and Cui Hengyou as the commander-in-chief.
All three of them are also members of the Association.
There are about three people in the whole army equipped with a musket, more than 1,400 horses, and more than 160 artillery pieces. After Zu Yingyuan reorganized, the combat effectiveness is considerable.
It has been stationed in De'an, north of Hanyang, and is responsible for the important task of defending the Xinghan Army from attacking Henan.
During the garrison period, there were several small-scale battles with the Xinghan Army, with more victories than fewer losses.
Later, due to a large-scale rebellion within the Xinghan Army, Wuchang had to shrink its troops and concentrate them on the front line of Wuchang, Jingzhou, and Huangzhou. Therefore, the ancestors never fought against the Xinghan Army since the twelfth lunar month.
Due to General Wang's instruction to "move slowly and wait and see", the Huguang Green Battalion mobilized on the surface and maneuvered towards Huangzhou, but the towns moved slowly.
There are various reasons, including raids by bandits, icy roads and muddy conditions, or the army's acclimatization.
As a result, co-organizer Niulun Bao required that the main force of the Huguang Green Camp must arrive at the front line of Huang'an and Taohua Town in Huangzhou within five days. In fact, it took nine days for the Huguang Green Camp to arrive in Huang'an first.
