Chapter 131: The Plan Behind the Scenes (The Fourth Shift Sent to Ask for a Monthly Pass)
Wang Yide slapped the express report on the table indignantly: "Taiping County is lost, and Li Zongmo, the magistrate of the county, is martyred, and when he encounters such a good thing, He Guiqing pushed it to me!" ”
The governor of Fujian, Lu Yansun, has always been in charge of affairs, and he is unable to compete with Wang Yide, the governor, for power: "Why should the ministry be angry, presumably He Guiqing is also anxious now!" ”
But how can this appease Wang Yide's anger: "But what kind of twist did he He Guiqing give to the saint, saying that Wenjun was a thief, Zhejiang was beyond the reach of the whip, and there were three important defenses, so you can follow the old practice of Ningfang and temporarily put Wenzhou Mansion under the jurisdiction of Fujian, I am the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, but not the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian!" ”
As soon as the four words of the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian were mentioned, Wang Yide was a lot more angry: "He Guiqing wants me to jump into the fire pit again, and I will play Your Majesty, you can follow Li Wei's old practice back then, divide Zhejiang and Fujian, and reset the governor of Zhejiang, but I don't think He Guiqing may be able to retreat like Li Weigong, and the dozen or so clay elephants will not wait for decades to be smashed again." ”
He said that Li Wei was Li Wei, the governor of Zhejiang that year, and he was very favored by the three dynasties at that time.
At that time, Li Wei was also regarded as a romantic seed, and he had more than a dozen wives and concubines, so he built a lake temple in the West Lake, but the statue of the lake god was Li Wei himself, and the thirteen goddess statues in the back temple were Li Wei's thirteen wives and concubines.
More than 40 years after Li Wei's death, Qianlong went south to Hangzhou, and found that the statues of the Lake Temple were actually Li Wei and his thirteen wives and concubines.
When Wang Yide talked about this old incident, of course, he meant something. refers to He Guiqing and a group of generals around him. Usually they make waves, monopolizing the fat shortage in Zhejiang Province, although he is the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, but he can't control the affairs of Zhejiang.
On the contrary, He Guiqing is now known for being a capable man, and he pays 60,000 taels of military salaries to the Jiangnan battalion every month, and asks Deng Shaoliang to garrison Ningguo, and Zhejiang solves the military salaries and rations. Deng Bu grew to 17,000 people and became a great rival of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and in the eyes of the center, He Guiqing's talent was really better than Wang Yide, who could only be trapped in Fujian.
It's just that Lu Yansun is a good gentleman, and he, the governor of Fujian, neither fights with Wang Yide for power, but also is willing to form a good relationship with He Guiqing: "Ministry, think so much, Taiping County is lost, it is He Guiqing who has a headache, and the red turban thief is about to go south." If Funing Mansion loses, I'm afraid Fuzhou Mansion will bear the brunt! ”
Funing Province is the gateway to Fujian, with a total of five counties, from Binh Duong and Taishun to the south. Funing Mansion must be taken first before the troops can enter Fuzhou Mansion, and now the Red Turban Army has captured Fuding County, if the whole army goes south, I am afraid that the entire Funing Mansion will be taken by the Red Turban Army.
Therefore, Wang Yide nodded, he just had some grievances: "I am angry that He Guiqing has not done this authentically, and he has never looked for my boss who should be in charge of it." When the red scarf is in trouble, throw this disaster at me. ”
He is a governor who wants to do something, to say that although the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang governs the two provinces of Fujian and Zhejiang, he has never been an easy messenger, you must know that the governor of Zhejiang is stationed in Hangzhou, and he has the right to directly listen to the heavens, so why bother to ask the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang for everything.
It is this Fujian province. If the weaker governor of Fujian and Zhejiang is not easy to do, first of all, there is a governor of Fujian in Fuzhou, although the governor is higher than the governor, but if he meets a capable governor, then he will directly be the governor of the void, so that he can neither manage Zhejiang, nor Fujian.
In addition to the governor of Fujian, Fuzhou also has the Fuzhou general, which is a member of the first rank, although the real power is not as good as the governor and governor, but the status is higher than the governor and governor, not only in charge of the eight banners of the Fujian garrison, but also in charge of the green flag battalion.
The governor, the governor, and the general of Fuzhou are all in the same city, and it is not impossible for the three officials not to spark, but for Wang Yide, he is a very proud governor of Fujian and Zhejiang.
He was promoted from the governor of Fujian to the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and the governor of Fujian, Lu Yansun, was his successor.
Although the Fuzhou general has already entrusted Gui Liang, but although this Gui Liang is the father-in-law of Prince Gong, he has not been in office, and the Hangzhou general Ruichang followed the monk to exterminate the Northern Expeditionary Army, in this era, the Manchu Qing Dynasty already knew that the Manchus were unable to support Adou, and the officers could only be entrusted to the Han people.
Not only that, Wang Yide was able to grasp the financial power in his hands, so except for He Guiqing in Zhejiang, he went straight to the sky, and everything was going well, but now the Red Turban Army made the officials of Fujian and Zhejiang anxious.
However, Lu Yansun still eased up for He Guiqing: "I'm afraid that He Guiqing is also in trouble, you must know that this group of bandits who conquered Taiping County is Liu Juehu." ”
"The most fierce of the thieves? The willow with three hundred real long hairs? The interjection was Fujian political envoy Qingduan, who was the only man present: "Then it will be easy to clean up He Guiqing." ”
"How easy?" Wang Yide immediately asked Qingduan: "He Guiqing is hateful, let me jump into such a big fire pit in Wenzhou, if I don't clean him up, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart." ”
Qingduan, who is not a capable member, knows a lot of powerful officialdom methods: "I heard that this Liu Jiehu is the most brave in the red scarf, with hundreds of real long hair, 2,000 elite soldiers, thousands of new annexed troops, and it is easy to attack the city and conquer the land, he goes north to Taiping, it must be to take the whole Taiwan, in this case, let He Guiqing clear the whole Taiwan within a time limit, if He Guiqing can't clear Taizhou by then......"
Qingduan had already picked up the tea bowl, and Wang Yide immediately understood: "The domain is very well planned, very good, very good!" I will play the center, the Taiping is lost, the whole Zhejiang is shaken, I am afraid that the red thieves will cause chaos in the whole Zhejiang, and Zhejiang Province will be cleared in January, He Guiqing has the troops of the whole province, no wonder even a few willows can not be cleared? ”
Lu Yansun, the governor of Fujian, has reached the age of not being confused, he likes to collect ancient Indian bricks, and he is not very enthusiastic about power, so he listened to Qingduan and Wang Yide's plan, and neither approved nor opposed: "It's okay to knock He Guiqing, and then you can sell him a favor, but we can't take this Wenzhou defense?" ”
This Wenzhou Mansion is the hottest taro, He Guiqing has played the center, all said that Zhejiang Province is busy with the three defenses, and the whip is out of reach, Fujian is close to Wenzhou, Zhejiang is originally the jurisdiction of the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and Wang Yide is responsible for the defense of Wenzhou and Fujian, which is suitable for people and land.
It's just that if you take over this Wenzhou Mansion, then you have to jump into this big fire pit, and you have to clear the Red Turban Army of Wenzhou Mansion for Zhejiang, but Wang Yide has decided to jump in now: "Next, if you don't pick it up, you can't do it, now the red thieves are about to come to Funing Mansion and arrive in Fuzhou Mansion, and Fujian Province has to protect Fuzhou first." ”
He said very artistically, saying "first to protect Fuzhou", and the following governors and political envoys all understood: "Protecting Fuzhou is to purge the red scarves of Wenjun!" ”
Political envoy Qingduan said more clearly: "If we keep Fuzhou at that time, He Guiqing will not be able to purge the whole Taiwan, and we will see how he ends up at that time." ”
"Liu Jiehu, this thief is known as brave, but this attack on Taizhou, it is said that it is only a northward movement, and the banners set up are different from the red scarf!" Wang Yide carefully analyzed: "In this case, with the strength of his army, he can't omit the whole Taiwan, but He Guiqing can't clear the whole Taiwan, and he will have a good plan when the time comes!" ”
He privately told his two colleagues: "If a surprise army from Fujian Province lands on Yuhuan Island and goes straight behind Liu Jiehu, what will the center think!" ”
"Wonderful!" Qingduan couldn't help but praise: "Our Fujian sailors have been idle and useless since they leveled the two thieves Huang Demei and Huang Wei, if they let their troops go out of the Zhejiang Ocean and defeat the enemy, they will be able to collect miraculous results!" This discussion of the ministry can reach the overall situation of the southeast! ”
Wang Yide gently stroked his beard: "The feudal platform has passed the award, whether it can land in Yuhuan or not, Guan Jian still depends on whether our army can hold Funing Mansion!" ”
It's just that as he was talking, another urgent report came from Funing Mansion: "My lord, Funing Mansion has an urgent report, the red thief Kou leader Qu Zhenhan led the Red Kou 100,000 strange killings to rush here, please send a large soldier to gallop to Funing Mansion quickly!" ”
Wang Yide said meaningfully: "I just said, first of all, protect Fuzhou, if Funing is preserved, Fuzhou will be foolproof......"
At this moment in Huangyan County, there are two horses tied.
"Taiping County only lasted one day, and then it failed, which was really unexpected by me!"
The person who spoke was Su Jingrong, a well-known hero in Taizhou, who was resourceful and knowledgeable, had assets, and recruited countless outlaws, and repeatedly quelled civil uprisings for the government, which can be said to be the first local tyrant in Taizhou.
It's just that Su Jingrong didn't expect that Taiping County would fail after only one day of defense: "Niu Deshun's thief didn't listen to me, and it was no accident that he was defeated in the hands of Liu Jiehu, but there are 2,000 soldiers in Taiping County, but he can't hold it even for a day, which is really out of my expectations!" ”
The horse knight who was tied with him was also south of the famous Haoqiang Mu in Huangyan County, and he was not surprised by this result: "Brother Jingrong, look at what kind of rabble people are guarding the city in Taiping, even the rest of Niu Deshun's rice bucket is stuffed into it, how can this be kept!" I heard that it was Niu Deshun who took the lead in leaving the city, which caused the army's heart to collapse and the county town to lose! ”
Su Jingrong thought very far-reachingly: "No matter what, it is a true fact that Taiping County fell into the hands of the red turban thief, Taizhou folk proverb has clouds, Huang is too familiar, six counties are enough, the red thief is proud of Taiping, and he will inevitably attack Huangyan next, you and I have the responsibility to defend the land, I will find the south, that is, how to deal with the red thief, how to work together to protect this Huangyan City!" ”
