"Zhang Rui?" Li Shiyao was a little surprised when he heard Yang Yingju ask.

Li Shiyao thought to himself: "Are you embarrassed to ask?" I didn't see anyone say anything when I handed over the task. ”

"It seems that I have heard someone below ask me about this person, but the specific situation is not very clear. I don't know what Governor Yang said this person does? Li Shiyao asked with a somewhat stupid look

Due to the suppression and concealment of the government, Zhang Rui's reputation in Guangzhou City was not well known at this time.

However, those who should know still know. Especially after Geng Shangzhi was defeated by Zhang Rui and raised money to ransom people back. It's just that those who know about it are just discussing it privately, if this is known by the government.

The Manchu court will not tell you anything about freedom of speech, and if you dare to talk about the imperial court behind your back, you should have your house and beheaded. Therefore, Zhang Rui is just a topic for those who know to discuss in private.

As the general stationed in Guangzhou, Li Shiyao, even if he had just taken office. If he doesn't know Zhang Rui at all, doesn't he seem to be too incompetent? However, if you know everything, doesn't it make Yang Yingju and them happy again?

The point is, this should have been the black cauldron they carried.

"Since General Li probably knows this Zhang Rui, he should also know what his identity is." Yang Yingju didn't blink his eyelids, just looked directly at Li Shiyao and asked

"It's all passed down by the people below, where do you know if the words passed down by the people below are true or false? I've just taken over, and I haven't heard Sitkudu tell me about such a person, have I? Sitkudutong! Li Shiyao didn't look at Yang Yingju's eyes, and pushed him out directly.

Although the governor of Liangguang was nominally the superior of the general stationed in Guangzhou. However, in terms of military power. The general garrison in Guangzhou did not need to be restricted by the governor of Liangguang at all, and his real power was vaguely greater than that of the governor of Liangguang.

After all, the Manchus cared more about the military and political stability under high pressure than the civil administration.

The purpose of setting up the Guangzhou garrison general was to let the soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners monitor the Liangguang Green Battalion and suppress all rebellions.

All the military forces of the two Guangxi provinces were unified under the deployment of the general garrison in Guangzhou.

If it is a major military transfer, it is not easy to carry out the order without the transfer of the garrison general, even if the governor of Liangguang gives an order.

The governor of Liangguang was the feudal minister of Yipin, but the general of the Guangzhou garrison was also a military general of Yipin. At this time, the Manchu generals were not like the Ming Dynasty, they had not yet reached the rise of Heshen, and they had not yet fallen to the point of being afraid of civil officials.

After all, the world of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was beaten down by the children of the Eight Banners on horseback, and the emperor valued the military generals more than the civil officials of Wen Zou Zou at that time.

At least that's what they think.

More importantly, Li Shiyao's family connections are stronger than those of Yang Yingju and Sitku. His ancestors were famous celebrities, and the first "Ming traitor" in history contributed a lot to the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

It's really because of the high starting point of his net worth, so it is so easy for Li Shiyao to replace this general stationed in Guangzhou. If you really want to make trouble, Yang Yingju and the two families of Xiteku may not be able to do it better than Li Shiyao.

In the Manchu Qing Dynasty, nothing was more important than the position of the slave in the heart of the master.

In history, Li Shiyao was knocked down by He Shen and became a stepping stone for He Shen to climb. Li Shiyao, who was extremely greedy and should have been beheaded, was stunned and let Emperor Qianlong be imprisoned for a few months, and then released in the form of amnesty.

With the outbreak of the Salar Hui rebellion, Li Shuyao was convicted of being appointed as the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, but within a year, the governor was more important in Shaanxi and Gansu provinces.

"Hehe... This is my negligence. I'm sorry, General Lee. After hearing this, Sitku laughed dryly twice and apologized to Li Shiyao

Seeing that Sitku was like this, Li Shiyao didn't have much to say. Everyone is always superior, and noisy people reduce their character.

The emperor is definitely going to play. But before that, Li Shiyao was ready to encircle and suppress Zhang Rui and his group before playing.

Otherwise, it would be easy to arouse the emperor's disgust. Thinking about shirking responsibility without doing anything is the most annoying subordinate.

If Zhang Rui is encircled and suppressed, the emperor will be played again. Not only is it estimated that he will gain the emperor's favor, but it will also reflect his ability, and it will make the court question the ability of Siteku and Yang Yingju, or make them owe themselves more favors. It's a lot to kill.

Li Shiyao's thought bought Zhang Rui a lot of time to hide, and I don't know how Zhang Rui feels if he knows what to do.

Maybe Zhang Rui knew about it, and he couldn't say: "When my god pretends to come out, won't I give you a three-kill, four-kill and super-god?" ”

"It's also busy and negligent to come to Sitkudu, General Li, please forgive him." Because the two sides had a "cooperative" relationship with Zhang Rui, although Yang Yingju was not reluctant in his heart, he also pretended to speak for Sitku.

"This anti-thief Zhang Rui is indeed a thief appointed by the saint. The reason is that he caught a group of bandits in the Wuzhou Prefecture at that time, and when he was avenging the grievances of those victimized women, he dared not to bow down to the Wuzhou Governor. The emperor had a foresight, so he thought that he must have the heart of rebellion, and the facts proved that the emperor was right. Yang Yingju said as he bowed to the north

When Li Shiyao heard the reason for the matter, it was really a little strange. However, since I heard that Zhang Rui has a cannon, it shows that the saint is indeed wise, with a small understanding and a vision.

"I and Sitku have both fought against that thief Zhang Rui, and it's really hard to deal with. Now that General Li has arrived, he has no choice but to come over to discuss with you how to deal with that anti-thief Zhang Rui. Yang Yingju continued

Li Shiyao heard that Yang Yingju had come to him to discuss dealing with the anti-thieves, although they had dragged themselves into the pit. But they are always here to do practical things, and it is not easy for them to keep their faces.

"Do you know that the anti-thief is so powerful?" Li Shiyao looked at Sitku and asked, after all, he is better at this than Yang Yingju.

"Judging from the information received, his soldiers are all young and strong. What he didn't hear of was that there were also some women who were recruited by him into soldiers, saying that they were medical soldiers. Sitku didn't need to think about it to say it directly, and this information seemed to have made him a mess.

"Judging from the two encounters, his soldiers are quite elite. But as long as my Qing soldiers fight hard, we will be able to exterminate them. This time, the men and horses of the Eight Banners of the Han Army killed and injured hundreds of them. If it weren't for the mountainous terrain in Guangxi, they might have been defeated. Sitku said half-truthfully

"In this way, this thief is not very strong. That is, it was in this mountainous place of Guangxi that he defeated my Qing soldiers? Li Shiyao asked as he listened to Sitku's words

"So to speak, otherwise as long as my Qing cavalry pulls in. They will be defeated. Sitku affirmed, he had been thinking about it for a long time.

"Geng Shangzhi, the leader of the Eight Banners of the Han Army, who fought with the thief for the second time, also said so, that is, a mountainous place. If it weren't for his cavalry, a charge would have scattered them. ”

"I heard that the thief still has a lot of artillery?" Li Shuyao asked again
