Chapter 999 Allied Forces from Eight Provinces Fight against the Japanese Six
The representatives of the three major feudal territories are very important.
Representing the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Yade, was Kuilun, the deputy commander of the Eight Banners of the Fuzhou garrison. He was from the Xianglan Banner in Manchuria and was the successor of Fei Yingdong, the fifth minister of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Representing the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Li Shiyao, was Fu Zengge, deputy commander of the Eight Banners of the Guangzhou garrison. He was born in the Zhenghuang Banner of Manchuria, and his great-grandfather was Tu Hai, the general of the Kangxi Dynasty.
Representing the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, Ening, was Jiang Lan, who held the post of governor of Yunnan and was a Jinshi in the twelfth year of Qianlong's reign.
However, the spokesman for the three major frontiers was Zhao Yi, the prefect of Guangzhou.
To be precise, it was Zhao Yi, the prefect of Guangzhou, who promoted the alliance of the three major feudal territories.
Zhao Yi originally ranked first in the examination in the 26th year of Qianlong's reign and should have been the top pick. Unfortunately, because Shaanxi had not produced a top pick since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Qianlong selected Wang Jie, the third place, as the top pick, and made Zhao Yi, the first place, the top pick.
.
Therefore, Wang Jie, the number one scholar, is pie in the sky and not authentic enough.
Zhao Yi was deeply troubled by this and regretted it for the rest of his life. He often wrote poems written by Duan Xing to express his injustice.
Later, Li Shiyao, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, helped him get the post of governor of Guangzhou.
As the only port of trade between the Qing Dynasty and Western countries, Guangzhou's prefecture was naturally different from other places. It was a rare official within the Qing Dynasty who opened his eyes to see the world. Because of his work, Zhao Yi often dealt with Westerners and was familiar with the conditions of various countries.
The reason for the three lines of business is that it is closely related to the Dutch East India Company.
Li Shiyao, the governor of Guangdong, entered the official career as a Yinsheng. He was appointed as the deputy commander of the Han army at the age of 18. He later served as the deputy commander of Rehe, minister of the Ministry of Industry, and general of Guangzhou. He served as governor of Guangdong and Guangxi twice, all because of Qianlong's great respect for him.
, therefore Li Shiyao simply did not accept the reform regime’s claim that Qianlong was actually a Han and not the son of the late emperor.
They also prepared to mobilize soldiers and horses from Guangdong and Guangxi to go north to Qinwang to attack the pseudo-reform regime in Xiangyang. However, the situation developed too fast. In ten months, Shandong, Zhili, Henan, Jiangsu, Hubei, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Shanxi and other provinces all recognized the reform nationwide.
political power, and once the main force of the Qing army in Guangdong and Guangxi went north to King Qin, the Xinghan army in Hunan would definitely take advantage of it. The superposition of various factors made Li Shiyao dare not go north to King Qin at all.
Zhao Yi then made suggestions for him, thinking that he should contact Yade, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and Ening, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, who had not yet expressed their attitude. They should unite to send troops together. In this way, the military pressure faced by Guangdong could be greatly reduced, and the strength of King Qin's army would be greatly reduced.
It is also greatly strengthened.
Li Shiyao agreed to Zhao Yi's plan without hesitation. In order to win support from Fujian, Zhejiang, Yunnan and Guizhou, he sent Zhao Yi to Fuzhou and Kunming to lobby, and offered Guangdong's biggest advantage - banknotes.
That is, as long as Fujian, Zhejiang and Yunnan-Guizhou are willing to jointly attack the reform and puppet regime, Guangdong will provide the two parties with the money, food, weapons and equipment needed to send troops.
However, it was not Li Shiyao, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, who provided the military expenditure, but the Thirteenth Bank and the Dutch East India Company jointly funded it.
The Thirteenth Party and the Dutch East India Company were willing to provide funds for the southern troops' Northern Expedition. The reason was that the trade opened by the reform regime in the north had greatly harmed their interests.
As the Thirteenth Industry monopolizing the Qing Dynasty's foreign import and export trade, they naturally did not want the north to share their cake.
Because this cake was so big, even the Qing Dynasty’s treasury revenue was not as big as this cake.
If the reform court in the north cannot be overthrown, then the reform army that has integrated the northern forces will inevitably go south to use troops soon. By then, Guangdong's military and political officials will definitely be replaced, and the stand-alone trade pattern will also be completely changed. This is undoubtedly a dig.
The foundation of the Thirteen Elements.
It is natural for businessmen to pursue profit. When the profit is so high that it scares people to death, they will naturally choose to be the funders of the war.
The Dutch East India Company also did not want Britain, France and other countries to go beyond its reach to reach a trade agreement with China's new imperial court, form a new trading base in northern China, and take away their exclusive rights to operate in China.
On a larger level, it is because the Netherlands, the mother country of Europe, may enter the fourth war with the United Kingdom.
The trigger was the Dutch government's announcement last year to support the American War of Independence.
Britain's current naval superiority has surpassed that of the Netherlands, and it has always been dissatisfied with the Dutch's domination of Eastern trade. Therefore, the British also hope to launch a war against the Netherlands again, thereby completely defeating the depleted Netherlands and plundering their rich caravan supplies and colonies.
Britain replaced sea coachmen as the largest master of maritime trade.
At present, the British East India Company is aggressive towards the Dutch East India Company, and is now more likely to steal its exclusive trading rights. Of course, the Dutch East India Company must support the local governments in southern China that it has been cooperating with, otherwise it will wait for the Dutch East India Company's
It must be the outcome of withdrawing from trade with China. This loss is unbearable for the company.
So, the small reform that happened in the East unexpectedly affected the United Kingdom and the Netherlands thousands of miles away, which is very dramatic.
If Jia Liu, who was outside the customs, knew that the Dutch actually supported Guangdong's rebellion, he would definitely speak angrily: "The Qing Dynasty will never allow external forces to interfere in its internal affairs!"
Zhao Yi, who acted as a "broker", achieved remarkable results in his lobbying. Yade, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and Ening, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, did not believe the rumor that the emperor was a Han, and they all believed that the Japanese Liu was the thief who usurped the Qing Dynasty.
The main reason why Yade has kept silent is that most of the Banner and Han troops in Fujian were lost in Taiwan, and Zhejiang did not obey his orders as the governor. Therefore, Fujian's current military strength alone did not dare to point fingers at the puppet imperial court.
Feet, it's fine now. Li Shiyao, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, came out to carry the flag, and was willing to provide money and food to Fujian. He could even purchase Western weapons from Macau to help Fujian upgrade its army equipment. Such a good thing, how could Yade hesitate?
Ening, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, was the son of former great scholar Ortai. Although Ortai was attacked by Qianlong in retaliation after his death, he became the first victim of civil prison in Manchuria and was withdrawn from the Xianliang Temple. However, Qianlong still had great influence on Ening.
It was still very good. He was promoted from the Ministry of Household Affairs to the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and repeatedly issued edicts to commend Ening, saying that his actions were very appropriate. In this way, Ening would not be able to betray Qianlong and suddenly attack the son of the Han army.
After becoming Prince Qing Rui, he transformed into the self-proclaimed Emperor of the Reformation, Liu Wag Tail.
Yunnan and Guizhou are poor, but like Shaanxi and Gansu, their troops and horses are elite.
Thanks to the conquest of Burma in previous years, Yunnan-Guizhou's green battalion troops are much stronger than those in other provinces, and there are more than 40,000 battalions in the two provinces. With sufficient money, food and equipment, it is not a big problem to recruit tens of thousands more.
So Ening readily agreed to respond to Li Shiyao's proposal to go north to King Qin. However, before he could organize his troops and horses, news of the fall of the capital came from the north.
Rumor has it that Guiziliu did not kill Lord Qianlong, but treated him kindly.
But Ening didn't believe it. He thought that Emperor Qianlong was probably killed by the Japanese six times, and the so-called kindness was just a cover to confuse the governor.
Therefore, he decided to send troops immediately. The Yunnan-Guizhou army attacked Sichuan, which responded to the reform, then entered Shaanxi from Sichuan, left Tongguan and attacked the capital via Shanxi.
Troops from Guangdong and Guangxi left Shaoguan to attack Hunan, while Fujian discussed with Zhejiang that if Zhejiang was willing to raise troops, it would be better. If Zhejiang was not willing to raise troops, it would be better to ask Zhejiang to take advantage of the passage.
In this way, if the three armies are mobilized at the same time, half of the city will surely be recovered in a short time, thus calling on more officials to crusade against the thief Guiziliu.
The plan is good, very good.
Li Shiyao, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, supported the plan of the three families to act together and planned to launch troops on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of the new year. At this time, good news came - the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, Ler Jin, sent someone to negotiate with them to jointly fight against the rebellion.
Ening, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, believed that Leerjin was not trustworthy, because Leerjin was the third person after Governor Yang Jingsu of Zhili and Bo Qing'e, governor of Sichuan, to issue a telegram in response to the reform and support Guiziliu's territorial seal.
Moreover, he also sent people to Xiangyang to participate in the clan meeting of pseudo-officials held by Guiziliu. Now he sent people to tell them that he and Guiziliu were not the same people, and he was willing to work together with the major feudal states to rebuild the Qing Dynasty.
What kind of medicine.
However, Li Shiyao said in his letter that Leerjin could be won over, and that Leerjin and he were both members of the mutual aid association, and that Yu Minzhong, who had been forced to retire the previous time, wrote a secret letter to him in the middle hall, alleging that if he wanted to
To recreate the Qing Dynasty and rescue the emperor, we must unite Leerjin, which owns the two provinces of Shaanxi and Gansu.
He also said that according to the information he received, Guiziliu and Leerjin were at odds with each other. Leerjin had secretly colluded with Prince An, and even sent troops to join Shanxi Governor E Bao when Guiziliu's puppet army marched into the capital.
The soldiers from the camp wanted to enter the capital to prevent the Japanese army from occupying the capital.
Li Shiyao pointed out the importance of one more friend and one more road, especially since Leerjin had tens of thousands of Eight Banners soldiers stationed in the northwest, especially the 5,000 Eight Banners cavalry all over Xi'an. They were a rare Eight Banners elite. Ruoleer
I would like to carry out the event anyway, and in addition to Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangxi, and Fujian, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces will be added. The governor of Shanxi, E Bao, is also very likely to participate in the grand event. The other powerful factions in the northwest such as General Yili, Xining Minister of Affairs, and Minister of Affairs of Kulun
I'm sure I'll take part in it. How can such a momentum be compared to that of the little thieves and devils?
Ening and his staff thought over and over again and agreed to send a representative to Xi'an to have a serious talk with Leer.
In order to ensure that Leerjin could be on their side and at least not support the Japanese Six, Li Shiyao asked Zhao Yi to accompany Fu Zengge to Xi'an.
The talks to decide the fate of the Qing Dynasty soon began behind closed doors.
Representatives of the three major feudal territories, Zhao Yi, Fu Zengge, Jiang Lan, and Kuilun, were seated opposite the round table.
Representatives from Shaanxi and Gansu, Le Erjin, Bi Yuan, Yang Mingyang, Se Leng'e, etc. were seated opposite the round table.
Why round table?
do not know.
Anyway, since Lao Le came back from a meeting in Beijing last year, his whole spirit has been different from before.
No matter where the meeting is, he likes to set up a main table in the venue just like the National Assembly, where he sits exclusively, holding a teapot in his hand, and speaking condescendingly to the officials.
The two sides first exchanged views on the current situation, and the atmosphere was very harmonious, because both sides agreed that the Japanese who had usurped power, Liu, was the common enemy of the Qing army and the people, and they must take advantage of the opportunity for this kid to lead the puppet army to confront General Hong Ye of Shengjing outside the customs.
Jointly send troops to defeat his Huanglong.
"According to rumors in the capital, the Sixth Jaap had a mental problem after usurping the throne. He was so stupid and stupid that he didn't look like an emperor at all. In order to save his gang of puppet soldiers outside the customs, he said that he wanted to sell the Old Summer Palace. It's not even enough.
The Forbidden City can also be sold, and even he can sell it himself. Listen to me, is this ridiculous? If such a bastard becomes the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty will be laughed to death by friendly people from all over the world!"
Admiral Se Leng'e of the Northwest Eight Banners Garrison told everyone such a joke during a break in the meeting, causing representatives from the three major feudal territories to shake their heads.
Bi Yuan, the governor of Shaanxi, his eyes lit up, his buttocks moved slightly, and he looked very interested.
The chief envoy of Shaanxi, Yang Mingyang, coughed slightly and spoke on behalf of the governor, saying that Northwest China fully agreed with the proposal of the three major frontiers to jointly attack Guiziliu, but there was an issue that needed to be discussed in advance.
Zhao Yi, the prefect of Guangzhou, said hurriedly: "Master Yang, please speak!"
This is a rule. It is useless to say a thousand good things. You have to say ugly things as well.
Yang Mingyang glanced at the governor who was drinking tea from a teapot and said: "If everyone unites to fight against Guiziliu, Guiziliu will be destined to be swept into the garbage dump of history, but since ancient times, there must be a leader for all uprisings.
As the saying goes, a snake cannot survive without a head, so I would like to hear your opinions on this matter."
Kuilun, the deputy commander of the Eight Banners of the Fuzhou garrison, representing Yade, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Fu Zengge, the deputy commander of the eight banners of the Guangzhou garrison, representing Li Shiyao, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and Jiang Lan, the governor of Yunnan and the envoy of Yunnan, representing Ening, the governor of Yunnan and Guangxi.
After taking a look, they finally nodded to the spokesperson Zhao Yi.
It means you say it.
Zhao Yi did not refuse, stood up and looked at Shaanxi-Gansu Governor Leerjin: "We hope that a strong person will lead everyone."
"A powerful person?"
Lao Le's eyes lit up. Although this was the first time he heard this statement, it really felt very powerful.
Seeing this, Bi Yuan hurriedly asked the question in his heart for the Governor: "So, who is this powerful person?"
"Of course it's the Taiwanese master!"
Zhao Yi looked at Le Erjin solemnly: "If the Taiwan Controller is willing to come out and lead the provinces in revolt, Guangdong and Guangxi are willing to honor the Taiwan Controller as the President of the Eight-Provincial Alliance Army!"
Jiang Lan, who represents Yunnan as Yunnan's envoy and governor, quickly stood up to express Yunnan's attitude.
"Fujian and Zhejiang second the proposal!"
Fujian representative Kuilun also stood up and gave warm words.
No objection whatsoever.
Because Tirel wanted to come out to sit in the palace, it was a tripartite consensus reached by Governor Li, Governor Ya, and Governor Hubei.
There is no other way, who can let Leerjin have the most troops and horses, and who is closest to the capital.
Of course, according to ordinary people's understanding, it is to shoot the first bird. As long as you, Leerjin, sit in the palace, the police department will definitely be the first to sweep your place. Who told you to be close to the capital.
"Hey, how can I be elected as the president by all the provinces? President?"
Le Erjin, who was being humble, felt something in his heart, and then looked at Zhao Yi with a puzzled expression, and asked with some disbelief: "No, have you also read the book "Down with All Evil Feudalism"?"
