Chapter 12: Counterinsurgency

Several subordinate staff asked Li Gang if they should stay? Li Gang should insist that everyone stay.

Attentively welcomed Wu Changqing, Ding Ruchang, and Ma Jianzhong in.

After Wu Changqing introduced himself, he introduced Ding Ruchang and Ma Jianzhong to Li Gangying.

Li Gangying gasped, the famous naval admiral Ding Ruchang came, and he was not an opponent anyway.

After the two sides were polite, Wu Changqing recounted his position in the attitude of the so-called imperial court, emphasizing his commitment not to interfere in internal affairs.

Li Gangying couldn't stop nodding. He expressed his heartfelt welcome to the arrival of the Chinese troops and praised the strict discipline of the troops.

Speaking of mutiny, he stressed three points: First, he resolutely opposed the mutiny, which is unacceptable and unacceptable. He and his family definitely didn't attend.

Second, it was the riotous soldiers who threatened the lives of his family with force, so he had to agree to go out of the mountain.

Third, the Min Concubine Group has done all the bad things to make people angry, which is really unpopular. What is particularly intolerable is to lure wolves into the house, alienate our suzerains from Japan, and lose their conscience. Li Gang should have known that China was wary of Japan, and he made a big deal of it in this regard.

In the end, he cleared Wu Changqing to express his opinion on Concubine Min's group, but Wu Changqing smiled but did not answer.

asked anxiously and said: "Please don't be embarrassed, we said, don't interfere in your internal affairs, of course, we don't want to talk about anyone's rights and wrongs." ”

But. Ma Jianzhong seemed to have said unintentionally, "In all dynasties of China, there was no good end in the harem. ”

obviously gave Li Gangying a reassurance.

After a few people talked for a while, they were about to leave, and Li Gang insisted on setting up a banquet to entertain them, but Wu Changqing politely declined, saying that they should come first if they wanted to entertain. Li Gang should go on a return visit, and he will definitely get drunk in the barracks.

After sending Wu Changqing, Ding Ruchang and Ma Jianzhong away, Li Gangying continued to discuss with several people.

It turned out that the wary think tank made a 180-degree turn. said that he can look at people's faces, these people can definitely be trusted, especially that General Wu Changqing, how loyal people are?

Not to mention the original optimist.

Almost everyone advocated that Li Gang should return to visit as soon as possible with the condolences of the labor army, strike while the iron is hot, and make more contact and affection. Besides, it's rude not to pay a return visit!

It was the one who was not very close to Li Gangying, and sighed and said, "There is more luck and less luck." ”

This man's words were like a basin of cold water, pouring them on everyone.

"Sir, why do you say that, do you see any flaws?"

Li Gangying was also harsh when he heard this person's words, but he still wanted to listen patiently.

"No, there are no flaws at all, which is why it is more suspicious."

What kind of logic is this, is it also a fault that there are no flaws? You don't have to look at this person with good eyes.

That person was very uninteresting, "Lord Dayuanjun, can you listen to the next sentence of the minister?" ”

"What words? Please speak. "Li Gang, the king of the courtyard, should be patient.

"Strengthen the guards of the imperial palace, and don't go to the Chinese military camp for a return visit." The man said.

"I see."

Seeing that the courtyard didn't agree, the man sighed and said to everyone: "If you can go out and hide, go out, we can't fight the Chinese army." Concubine Min's group returned to the dynasty, and no one in the room had a way to live. ”

After that, turn around and leave.

On the way back, Wu Changqing asked Ding Ruchang and Ma Jianzhong if Li Gang should pay a return visit?

Ding Ruchang said that there was no problem at all, "You two should act on stage?" ”

"Why?" Wu Changqing asked.

"The level of the performance is too high."

After listening to Ding Ruchang's words, Ma Jianzhong slapped his thigh, "It's bad, if the courtyard doesn't take the bait, the problem is that it's too perfect." ”

Wu Changqing didn't understand, and Ma Jianzhong said again, "I really hope I'm too worried." ”

Facts have proved that Ma Jianzhong was too worried, because the next day Li Gangying rushed back to visit and brought a carriage of condolences. Everything went well, and Li Gangying's guards were left outside the camp tent of the marshal. Yuan Shikai had already arranged people, as long as he gave the order, these people would not be able to escape.

But in the tent, something happened.

As far as Li Gangying is concerned, an old man who is powerless, Wu Changqing can deal with it alone, why has there been no movement for so long?

Yuan Shikai's task was to lead people to solve Li Gangying's guards, and there was nothing to do with him in the tent, but he was still ready to go inside and take a look.

Afraid that there would be changes outside, he instructed his iron rod - Yuan San to say a few words, and Yuan San said to reassure him.

Yuan Shikai entered the account and saw that Wu Changqing was talking and laughing with Li Gangying.

Yuan Shikai waved his hand to Wu Changqing, saying that there was an urgent report.

Wu Changqing said to Li Gangying apologetically: "Lord Dayuanjun, you wait a minute, I will come when I go." ”

"General Wu, I've been here for a long time, you're very busy, so I won't bother." Li Gangying said.

"Lord Dayuanjun, you wait a while, and I will report to you in a while."

Listening to Yuan Shikai's words, Li Gangying's face immediately changed, and he may have realized something. However, in the end, he was still a person who knew the times, and finally did not dare to move.

"Uncle Wu, why don't you do it yet?"

As soon as the big tent came out, Yuan Shikai asked in a low voice.

Wu Changqing shook his head in embarrassment, "I can't do it!" People trust us so much, besides, Concubine Min Group is really not a thing, and there are too many bad things to do. ”

Yuan Shikai smiled bitterly, "Uncle Wu, there is no such shop in this village, he is already alert." ”

Wu Changqing asked, "What should I do then?" ”

"I'll come."

After speaking, Yuan Shikai walked into the account.

"Li Gangying, are you guilty" Yuan Shikai shouted loudly.

"I ...... What are the sins? Daring! What do you do? Who qualifies to talk to me like that? Li Gang should pretend to be calm.

"As the father of Gaozong and an old minister of the imperial court, why did you instigate a rebellion against the imperial court?" Yuan Shikai asked.

"General Wu, what's going on?" Li Gang shouted at the tent door.

Yuan Shikai said in a deep voice: "You don't have to shout, General Wu has already left, and I have the final say here." ”

"You have to have proof when you speak, when did I instigate a rebellion?" Li Gangying's eyes were round,

Yuan Shikai smiled lightly: "We have already found out, and it has nothing to do with you at first, but you are in command behind the tomb during this time." ”

"Do you have proof?" Li Gangying is no longer so tough.

Yuan Shikai said: "Of course there is evidence, I will show it to you, you will definitely not be able to leave; But now there's something you need to do. ”

"What's the matter?" Li Gang should ask.

Yuan Shikai said solemnly: "Order your guards to lay down their weapons and capture them with their hands tied." ”

"Since there is no way to live, don't you Chinese have words? Killing one is enough, killing two earns one. Li Gang's face turned to the side.

"Do you have to let the young children who are loyal to you die innocently?" Yuan Shikai asked.

Li Gangying hesitated, "You can't, let General Wu come in, I have something to say." ”

"Please say anything." Wu Changqing has already come in.

He stood outside the tent door, listened to Li Gangying's words, opened the tent door and entered.

Li Gangying said: "Save my life and that of my family. ”

"I promise you, but you can't stay in North Korea." Wu Changqing replied.

Li Gangying thought for a moment and agreed.

In this way, Li Gangying was taken as he wished, and then sent back to Tianjin by warship, and finally placed under house arrest in Baoding.

Subsequently, Ma Jianzhong used the same method to trap Li Zaimian, the son of Li Gangying, who was heavily armed.

Kim Yoon-sik also got King Yi Hee's counterinsurgency letter.

Li Xi promised in the edict that all soldiers who participated in the rebellion would not be held accountable as long as they returned to the barracks and laid down their arms.

"The Chinese army came to our country to quell the rebellion at the request of the imperial court, and demanded that all soldiers loyal to the royal family should not resist and block the advance of the Chinese army." Li Xi made it clear in the edict.

With Li Xi's edict, the Chinese army became famous.

The participants of the mutiny lost their unified organization and command, and the group was leaderless. The Qing army soon collapsed after the attack, and the army became pacified.

The pacification of the Renwu Rebellion was almost one of the few victories for the already terminally ill Manchu ** with troops overseas; And there were almost no casualties.

For those Manchu ministers who liked Yelang's arrogance, it was a stimulant, a shot in the arm, and a satisfaction of self-esteem. Although it is not a big matter, it is a sensation in the government and the opposition.

To make such great achievements, of course, we must be rewarded for meritorious deeds.
