He Shen was the first to know about the fiasco in the Battle of Tongzhou, he was the head of the Minister of Military Aircraft, and he happened to be on duty at the Military Aircraft Department.

This result made him feel that the sky had fallen and Tongzhou had fallen, which meant that the enemy would come to attack Beijing at any time.

Beijing has a strong army, but everyone knows what it is, usually carrying a cage and walking birds, talking a lot, Lao Tzu can touch the sky when he raises his hand, and it is rare to really go into battle.

He Shen, who was born in the banner, knows the virtues of these people too well, and those officers and soldiers of the Zhenghuang Banner who guard the Forbidden City are "on duty in summer, with long shirts and feather fans, noisy and laughing", they can't see that every day, but they are all a group of gentlemen, and no one wants to offend.

The guards guarding the Old Summer Palace "actually lie in front of the palace gate on the sun", the minister stepped forward to reproach, and the defenders also had a lot of words, saying that although the fruit body is full, compared with those guards who are absent from work at will, this can be regarded as "sticking to their posts".

Later, the Jiaqing Shenwu Gate was assassinated, the guards around him stood by and watched, and dozens of Tianli disciples actually entered the inner courtyard of the palace.

The ordinary children of the Eight Banners drank and sang every day, wandered and gambled, and even fought and brawled, and the government was not easy to manage.

Facts have also proved that the Eight Banners have been embarrassed to take on the task, not to mention the old things that needed to rely on the Green Battalion during the Kangxi period, that is, during the suppression of the White Lotus Sect, there were a large number of newspapers on the front line complaining about the Eight Banners, and He Shen didn't get off the car after reading it.

At the beginning of the war, the children of the Eight Banners in Beijing also invited Ying to go to the war in order to make a fortune, and quarreled endlessly, Qianlong thought that the military heart was available, and he was very relieved; However, after the Eight Banners arrived at the front line, these Eight Banners who were accustomed to urban life could not catch up with the enemy at all, and the front-line generals wrote, "Once they were armed with a gun, they walked dozens of miles on mountain roads, sweat and lewdness, and they were restless." Because he is accustomed to being pampered on weekdays, and has the bad problem of picky eating, "drinking alcohol and eating fat, accustomed to it", after arriving at the front line, he actually "packed rice and grains, couldn't swallow it, starved himself first, chased hundreds of miles with thieves, and rarely got sick and lacking".

These Eight Banners soldiers, who were not even accustomed to eating the coarse food on the front line, made the front generals miserable, and even asked the imperial court to quickly transfer these Eight Banners disciples who were not accustomed to hard work, unrestrained, and hindered back to Beijing, so as not to lose the face of the imperial court and hinder the coordination of military operations.

This time, when the Beijing camp went to Tongzhou to fight, it was really the first to ask for help, and then to flee enthusiastically.

He Shen felt that Liang Kentang's good old man really died in vain.

But he didn't end up with the same ending as Liang Kentang, but he was the Minister of Military Aircraft, and he also had a share in these defeats, although with his relationship with Qianlong, Qianlong would not fall if he didn't die, but he always fell into the hands of others, and with the thieves occupying Tianjin, Beijing City is becoming more and more chaotic, Beijing's material supply depends on the south of the Yangtze River, and all the Grand Canal is gone, Tianjin will cut off the Grand Canal, and if Tianjin is not recovered, Beijing will be trapped to death.

But in this situation, how can you fight?

There are two ways, one is to transfer troops from the front line, the soldiers who can fight are either in Zhejiang or Hubei, and they are transferred back to defend the Beijing Division, but it is not possible to transfer them back within a few months, they are back, do you want Zhejiang and Hubei anymore? Another way is to transfer troops from Guanwai and Mongolia, those defenders in the bitter cold land outside the Saiwai are usually looked down upon, thinking that they are old-fashioned, Qianlong also maintained the bannermen who reprimanded the Beijing Division, but those simple Eight Banners can be fought. It's just that the transfer of troops outside the customs is also an old problem, and there is not enough time.

The voice of Jiaqing's royal drive in the court became louder and louder, and the anti-Heshen forces gradually took this opportunity to twist into a rope, which made Heshen begin to feel frightened, looking at the old Qianlong who couldn't speak very clearly, Heshen felt that his wealth was becoming more and more insecure.

He Shen has been in control of the court for almost 20 years, and those who can still oppose him and dare to oppose him are all guys who he can't move, or Qianlong can't move, they are all princes, they are banner owners, these people's status is higher than him and Shen, but the power is not as big as He Shen, and they don't make money but they don't have more than He Shen, and they don't accept a lot of He Shen.

Anxious to anxious, the party has fought for a lifetime, and he Shen, who can win for a lifetime, has two brushes, whether it is a corrupt official or a clean official, those who can achieve the level of Heshen are extremely capable people.

He Shen quickly thought of a question, this Zhou Lang is a big sea coward, and he has been plagued for a long time, and it is not the first time he has attacked the city. Even the whole of Fujian was defeated, but only in Guangzhou had to suffer suffocation, and it was twice, that time in collusion with the British mission to besiege Guangzhou, and recently received a message from Changlin in Guangzhou, saying that he had repelled the Zhou Langbu Haikou besieging Guangzhou.

How many catties and taels does Changlin have, and He Shen is still unclear, how did he do it? And He Shen also found that when Changlin was in charge of Fujian and Zhejiang, Zhou Langhaikou had already occupied Xiamen, but until Changlin was deposed, he had not captured the city on the land of Fujian.

He Shen suddenly felt that this thing was strange, and it must be boring.

As for whether Changlin had colluded with Zhou Lang Haikou, He Shen didn't care, He Shen also knew that some of the local officials he had promoted, and even colluded with local green forest bandits to let some Jiangyang thieves help them do some dirty things. Changlin can collude with such a powerful Haikou as Zhou Lang, and he can also make the other party retreat from Guangzhou twice, and not attack Fujian when he is in office, He Shen feels that this is Changlin's ability.

In terms of ability, He Shen boasts that he is no worse than Changlin, and what Changlin can do, he and Shen can also do.

It's just that I don't know how Changlin won over this Haikou and made the other party obey.

He Shen thought about it, and he couldn't think of a reason that could make Haikou give up the fat in his mouth and not fight, unless the other party didn't want to fight at all, or the benefits of not fighting were more than fighting.

Unless?

Changlin gave Zhou Lang a lot of benefits!

He Shen could only think of this, which made him very moved, if this Haikou could be bought with money, it would not be a bad thing, Guangzhou could afford Ping'an, and Beijing could afford it.

But first, he couldn't contact the other party, and second, he wasn't sure how Changlin bought it, so He Shen was still distressed. He consulted and compiled all the reports of Changlin and other Canton officials during the siege of Guangzhou, and found that everyone agreed that the Haikou had been repulsed. Who believes this, at the same time, He Shen also saw that the greatest credit was given by the emperor's brother-in-law who did not learn and did not know how to do it.

What kind of virtue does Shengzhu have, of course He Shen knows that as the emperor's brother-in-law, He Shen has no less dealings with Shengzhu.

Sheng Zhu can get the biggest credit from the battle of Guangzhou, in addition to his high status, it must also show one thing, that is, Sheng Zhu played a great role, otherwise even if he has a high status, he is not as high as Changlin, Jueluo, and no one is sure whether Jiaqing is the prince at that time.

So there must be ghosts in Samuki.

So He Shen immediately found Sheng Zhu, he wanted to learn the truth from Sheng Zhu's mouth, and even used Sheng Zhu to get in touch with Zhou Lang in Tongzhou.

Of course, Sheng Zhu didn't want to speak, he planned to take the incident in Guangzhou to the coffin, all the officials in the Guangzhou officialdom participated, and collectively looted money for the pirates, such a thing spread out, he had eight heads that were not enough to cut off, not to mention that his brother-in-law was the emperor, that is, his father was the emperor, and he was all dead.

But where is he Heshen's opponent, he coerced and lured Heshen, and threw out a piece of music that was going to be played, which said that he wanted to protect Sheng Zhu to go to the front line to supervise the battle, and brought out the fact that Sheng Zhu had killed Zhou Lang's Yiren leader Colin in Guangzhou as evidence. Seeing this performance, he immediately urinated, and now in this situation, if he doesn't transfer the elite soldiers from Hubei and Zhejiang to help, let him go to supervise the battle, isn't this letting him go to death.

This time, how many people died in Beijing, how many families hung up filial piety, just the friends he saw in the past few days, there were no less than twenty, and a few of his friends in Jingying who he played from childhood to adulthood also died, so that he had a feeling of cherishing life for a while, and he took extra care of his body.

In the case that He Shen assured that there was something inappropriate and would not be investigated, where would Sheng Zhu dare not confide in him.

He Shen guessed right, Guangzhou gave Haikou a ransom fee, but he didn't expect the amount to be so huge, it was as high as 20 million silver dollars, but this was not a problem for Beijing, and he and the adults waved their hands and made it up. It's just that the other party hit Guangzhou and asked for 20 million, how much will it cost to hit Beijing?

There is no point in guessing, you must send someone to contact Haikou, life in the world is nothing more than fame and fortune, as long as the other party is the kind of person who is willing to take money to settle things, I am afraid that the other party is really going to fight for the world, and I don't care about money at all.

The person sent to contact Haikou can't be his own people, and it's easy to leave the relationship behind, and Sheng Zhu is the most suitable person.

He Shen coerced Sheng Zhu again, and sued him, this world will be his brother-in-law's world sooner or later, and the wealth of his Sheng family depends on him, and he must find a way to contact the Haikou in Tongzhou and talk to them.

Sheng Zhu didn't want to take this job, but there was no way, just like He Shen said, this world will be his brother-in-law's world sooner or later, his future wealth is unlimited, and he can't afford to lose it today, so he was ruthless and sent the chief out of the city.

This cronie went to Guangzhou with him to make a fortune, and he is a servant of his family for generations, so there is no need to worry about loyalty. And when he was in Guangzhou, he was also in contact with Haikou, and it was he who counted the money with Haikou's master, I don't know if Mr. Wei Lianli, who knows Fengyue very well, came here this time, if Mr. Wei is here, this matter will be half of the matter.

Sheng Zhu thought about it, thinking that things would not only succeed, but also the possibility of success was very great, he suddenly thought that when he was in Guangzhou, he finally made a sum, will this time the money still come from his own hands?

But when I thought that it was Changlin who presided over the overall situation in Guangdong back then, and now it was He Shen who presided over the overall situation in Beijing, comparing the attitudes of these two people towards money, Sheng Zhu extinguished the idea of making a fortune, and only the idea of really hoping to send Haikou away.
