Song Chun was confused and didn't know what his cousin, who was considered a distant relative, meant.
The person who answered the questions soon arrived—the new Jiangxi governor Hao Shuo.
As if pinching the point, Song Chun received a letter from his distant cousin, and Hao Futai arrived at the general's office.
This man was born in Xianghuang Banner of the Han Army. His father was Hao Yulin, the former governor of Liangjiang, and he had the hereditary rank of Cavalry Commander. He is still young this year, only 38 years old, but he retired early at the age of 36 two years ago.
The reason is that the imperial censor impeached Hao Shuo many times, saying that he was greedy during his tenure as governor of Jiangxi. Every time he traveled, he would ask for bribes from his subordinates to deal with "baggage".
After reading the excerpt, Qianlong made a comment, saying: "Hao Shuo is guilty of the same crime as Cathay, but Cathay is a small talent, and he still knows the local affairs, and the consequences are considerable. Hao Shuo has been patrolling Gan Province for many years, and I asked him about it, but I didn't know.
I am really embarrassed to use him, so I will resign with the order."
Hao Shuo was not dismissed from office because of corruption and extortion of bribes, but because Hao Shuo was not to his liking and ordered him to retire early.
Another Shandong governor, Guotai, who was impeached by the imperial censor together with Hao Shuo, was given a chance to save him because of the local affairs.
From this point of view, whether officials have accepted bribes and whether they are honest and honest are not the primary conditions for evaluating officials in the Qing Dynasty.
Qianlong never expected that Hao Shuo, who was asked to retire early by his name, would be rehired by the military department on the grounds that he was "familiar with Gan Province" due to the collapse of the Jiangxi war.
In fact, in addition to Hao Shuo having been the governor of Jiangxi for many years and indeed knowing the human affairs, geographical customs, and military preparations of Gan Province, it was also because Hao Shuo's father, Hao Yulin, recommended a cabinet named Fulehun to the imperial court when he was the right minister of the Ministry of Justice in his early years.
Zhongshu worked as a doctor in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and then the little Zhongshu had a prosperous official career, rising up through the ranks and becoming the chief military minister of the Qing Empire.
Therefore, Hao Shuo, who once again served as the governor of Jiangxi Province, was very grateful for his father's small act of kindness, and immediately wrote a letter to his great benefactor Fu Zhongtang to express his firm support and defense.
At the same time, three hundred taels of silver are attached.
He was picking a little bit, but who asked Hao Futai to do the same to him?
To what extent does it mean that a bowl of tea must be soaked in three pots of water before being thrown away.
All household expenses must be accurate to decimal places.
In the past, when Mr. Hao was the governor of Jiangxi, all expenses were recorded in the public account. Even the toilet paper used at home was recorded in the public account in the name of office paper.
That is to say, there is no land for Mr. Hao in Nanchang, otherwise he would have to carry it to his own land to evaporate it.
The governor is the highest leader of a province and is a full-fledged official in the border areas.
It's just that the reinstated governor Hao Futai was in name only, because the entire province of Jiangxi except Ganzhou had fallen, and he didn't dare to go to Ganzhou, so after taking office, he could only temporarily hang the sign of Jiangxi Governor's Yamen in Anqing City.
.
The funds needed to run the team were shamelessly asked for from Anhui.
If Min Eyuan, the governor of Anhui, was not in the same organization as him, he might not have paid any attention to him.
On Anqing's side, thanks to the dispatch of Liangjiang Governor Gao Jin, a large number of Eight Banners soldiers and local green battalions arrived, which greatly enriched Anqing's city defense strength and made the originally shaky situation somewhat impregnable.
This can be seen from the fact that the bandit troops besieging the city have not made any major offensives recently.
General Song Chun from Jiangning, who personally arrived in Anqing to take command of the Eight Banners troops, gave an analysis to the two governors in the city and concluded that the rebel army was probably at the end of its war effort and that the siege of Anqing could be lifted within a month at most. By then, it would not be difficult for all parties to recapture Nanchang and Jiujiang.
.
For this reason, he also sent a letter to Gao Jin, the governor of Liangjiang, requesting that the rear must ensure the supply of money and food to the front line, and must not delay the fighter plane due to food and grass problems.
The situation is relatively optimistic.
Song Chun also sincerely wanted to put down the rebellion for the Qing Dynasty. After all, he was also a descendant of Aisin Gioro. Although he was not a descendant of Taizu, but a descendant of Shuerhaqi, Taizu's younger brother, there was no way he could look at the traitor who promoted the Han Dynasty.
The army destroyed the Qing Dynasty.
However, something happened recently that caused a lot of trouble for General Jiang Ning.
Not only did his good distant cousin, the sixth son of the Jia family, suddenly become Prince Duduo of Yu, the emperor also decreed that he should inherit the position of Prince Rui from the founding regent Dorgon, and then let this old cousin Jia do the same thing.
General Fuyuan led the Eight Banners of the Beijing Camp and the clan's descendants to the south to quell the rebellion, and became the second general king of the Qing Dynasty!
It's really baffling and confusing.
Not to mention Songchun, the governors, generals, and ministers from all over the country who did not go to the capital to attend the meeting of princes and ministers all expressed disbelief after receiving the official document from the imperial court.
Fortunately, whether they are descendants of the Jia family or Duduo, the six sons of my cousin are all his relatives, and this cannot be escaped.
The blood relationship is here.
As for the relationship, close or not, after all, they are the third generation.
It's far away, but it's not that far. My grandma is also someone else's aunt.
Moreover, when the Jia family's cousin married Prince Xin's princess a few years ago, he sent a letter home to him. At that time, he specifically asked his eldest son Baozhu in Beijing to send a congratulatory gift of 500 taels to his uncle on his behalf.
After that, Liu Zi’s old cousin walked around with his old brother.
During every festival, Qingming Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and half of July, Songchun would receive letters from his six cousins. The letters would either send local specialties or practical items.
Most of the letters contain commonplace remarks.
In the past two years, I have given him many treasures, each of which is priceless.
It was these rare Songchuns that he dared not take out at all, because one of his staff discovered that these treasures seemed to have appeared in a brochure produced by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
That booklet is called "List of Emperor Daxing's Accompanying the Mausoleum".
According to Songchun's speculation, the sixth cousin might have accidentally taken the late emperor's belongings back to his home when he accompanied the emperor to visit the mausoleum in Jingling.
Just stay, it doesn't feel right.
I don’t want to stay, but I feel a little reluctant to leave.
After several days of mental struggle, Songchun still kept the things.
First, I really can’t bear to part with these good things;
The second is to have a luck mentality.
After all, the news he received showed that the sixth cousin was very popular now, especially when the sixth cousin suddenly became the general and queen. As a cousin, he no longer had to worry about what would happen to the late emperor's treasure that he had secretly hidden.
When the general Wang's cousin took charge of the overall situation in Hubei, he was responsible for eliminating the main force of the bandit army.
As my cousin, General Jiangning is downstream, so I can't hold him back.
Songchun was looking forward to meeting his cousin in Wuchang after retaking Jiujiang and having a celebratory drink.
But this letter from his cousin suddenly sent him home, which made him scratch his head. He was really puzzled.
At this moment, the concierge came to report that it was the governor of Jiangxi who wanted to see him.
The governor of Jiangxi was a second-rank official, and General Jiangning was a first-rank official. Of course, when a Han governor saw a bannerman general, he had to ask for an audience.
Song Chun was so busy that he asked the governor of Jiangxi to come to his office.
Song Chun had no impression of Hao Shuo. He only knew that this man was the son of Hao Yulin, the former governor of Liangjiang. Later, he committed crimes and was dismissed by the emperor. Now, due to the need of the war, the court was asked to reinstate him.
As soon as Jiangxi Governor Hao entered the general's office, he looked around.
Songchun was confused, but still ordered the staff to leave.
After the people left, Governor Hao immediately changed his expression, stepped forward and said in a low voice: "The people sent by the emperor to arrest the general are on the way. If the general intends to run away, I can help buy tickets. If the general wants to go to Xiangyang to attend Prince Rui's call,
There is a meeting of all officials of the clan, and the subordinate is willing to go with the general."
