When the Hunan army was still in Hunan, Zeng Guofan offended the Hunan Governor Bao Qibao because of the defeat of the deputy general Qingde, and the deliberate revenge Bao Qibao secretly instigated and acquiesced, the Hunan Green Battalion soldiers actually rushed into Zeng Guofan's residence and shot, wounding many people and almost killing Zeng Guofan! Afterwards, none of those green battalion soldiers have been punished! As for the private clashes and fights between various units and battalions of the Qing army, they are even more innumerable. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The practice is like this, and there are all kinds of grievances and entanglements between Wu Chaoyue and Seng Lingqin, the Hubei army and the monk army gathered together under Tongbai City, if you can still get along amicably and can't afford disputes, then it can really only be said that the sun comes out of the west. Even if the commanders of both sides did not openly instigate it, even if the two armies were camped ten miles apart, the soldiers of Hubei and the soldiers of the monk army still had disputes, and they directly caused human lives.

The first to make trouble is, of course, the monk king sergeant who has always been arrogant, when the patrol meets, the patrol cavalry of the monk army deliberately gallops on horseback, splashing mud on the face of the Wu army patrol infantry, the Wu soldiers find them to theorize, but the monk king sergeant scolds the Han barbarians, and whips the Wu soldier with a horse whip, the Wu soldier is furious, the perpetrator is pulled off the horse and beaten, and the rest of the monk and the king soldier also immediately join the group fight, in the melee, the monk soldier first used a knife, stabbed to death a Wu clan named Chen Xinguan from behind, The soldiers of Wu used muskets in grief and indignation, and the murderers were directly beaten into honeycomb coals with a random gun, which also frightened the other cavalry of the monk army to run away, and even the horses did not dare to run back to the camp to complain to the monk and the prince.

Then, without waiting for the thunderous monk prince to decide how to take revenge, Wu Chaoyue, who had long been holding back his bad intentions to deliberately provoke contradictions and hatred, rushed to the door first, and led the Wu army to roar in front of the monk's military camp, forcing the monk to hand over the monk soldiers who were picking quarrels and provoking trouble, deal with their superiors and compensate Chen Xinguan's pension! The high-ranking monk almost fainted, and in a fit of rage, he also led the army out of the camp, and scolded Wu Chaoyue in public with knives and guns.

No one is willing to take a step back when they expose each other's shortcomings, the monk and the prince refuse to hand over the perpetrator, Wu Chaoyue insisted that it was the monk and the king who provoked the trouble first, forcing the monk and the prince to pay someone to pay the silver, and directly pointed at the nose of the monk and scolded with a horsewhip, "Monk Greenqin, what kind of prince are you?" Beijing is not a big capital, I don't believe that the imperial court will be biased and protect you! If you don't hand over someone today, Lao Tzu will write a memo to impeach you tonight, and ask the emperor and the court to uphold justice! ”

If it weren't clear that the self-army would definitely not be able to defeat the Hubei New Army, Monk Greenqin would definitely be able to take the army and fight Wu Chaoyue directly. But because he didn't dare to fight with Wu Chaoyue, and was confident that the Manchu court would definitely stand on his side, the monk suppressed the impulse in his heart, and also threatened to impeach Wu Chaoyue for his crimes, Wu Chaoyue took the opportunity to yell at the soldiers of the army, "Brothers, since Monk Greenqin wants the wicked to sue first, then I will accompany him to sue to the end, and see how the court and the emperor clean him up!" Let's go, collect the troops and go back to the camp to write an excerpt! ”

After returning to the camp with his soldiers, Wu Chaoyue also ignored his own Chinese language and calligraphy, and immediately wrote a bullet impeachment to impeach the monk Greenqin for conniving at the soldiers to find quarrels and provoke trouble, kill the soldiers of the army and shield the perpetrators, and asked the Manchu court and the Xianfeng Emperor to uphold justice for themselves, and sent it out on a stagecoach overnight. The monk over there also wrote a bullet to impeach Wu Chaoyue for committing the following crimes, conniving at the soldiers to kill his subordinates, and causing Gong Deshu to flee due to ineffective combat, and other crimes, which were also issued overnight on stagecoaches.

After resting for the night, the next day Wu Chaoyue took the Hubei army back to Pingshi Town on the Tongbai Mountain Road, and told Zhao Liewen what happened when they met again. When Zhao Liewen heard this, he cried out and said, "Weiting, why are you so confused? Don't you know that your calligraphy and writing are a little out of your hands, and your folds can make things clear? Your excerpt is vague and full of typos, and the excerpt of the monk and the prince is concise and concise, and it is sent to the emperor together, who will the emperor face? ”

"That's what I want." Wu Chaoyue muttered in his heart, and replied: "I was angry yesterday, it's okay, you write another excerpt for me, and I'll send it out again." By the way, by the way, the monk and the prince also wrote down the matter of robbing the merit and blocking the road, and impeached him for one more charge of delaying the fighter plane and causing the enemy to flee. ”

Zhao Liewen nodded helplessly in agreement, and couldn't bear to hit Wu Chaoyue directly, but said secretly in his heart: "Weiting, you'd better not expect the court and the emperor to stand on your side this time, the monk and the prince are the king of Zasakdoluo County, and he is the minister who was left by the emperor, the lord is in a high position, the family and the royal family have intermarried for generations, and the court will only clean him up to please you if he takes the wrong medicine." ”

…………

Let's take a look at the reaction of the Manchu court, when Wu Chaoyue and Monk Greenqin sent a note to the capital on the same day, Emperor Xianfeng was worried and worried about another new thing -- after the diversion of the Yellow River last year, the flood formed a large area of river beaches and depressions, providing an ideal spawning ground for locusts, and this year's drought and lack of rain in the north are very suitable for the growth and reproduction of locusts. Although Emperor Xianfeng didn't care about starving to death tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people, it would be a big trouble to force these hungry people to the side of the Taiping army.

Natural disasters continued, man-made disasters came to join in the fun, and then saw the impeachment of Wu Chaoyue and Monk Greenqin, Emperor Xianfeng, who was already vigorous, was of course even more furious, and yelled at the pseudo-dragon case, "Bastard!" Two damn bastards! What has become of the world in the Qing Dynasty, I don't know if we work together, and we have to fight in the nest, my country and society will be defeated in the hands of you bastards sooner or later, and sooner or later in the hands of you dog minions! ”

Emperor Xianfeng became angry with this virtue, of course, the civil and military officials present could only quickly kneel down on their knees, and shouted that the ministers were guilty, but the anger of Emperor Xianfeng was still not extinguished, and he picked up Wu Chaoyue's full of mistakes and scolded, "This Wu Chaoyue is a provincial governor, and it still doesn't make sense to write an excerpt, and it's full of typos, you haven't even gone to a private school?" Can the writing look ugly like a dog's crawl? ”

"Your Majesty, Wu Chaoyue knows that he has no ink on his chest, but he deliberately writes a book by himself, and he is suspected of deliberately teasing the king, please check it out to Your Majesty."

The monk and the prince's backer, King Huijun, took the opportunity to take bad medicine, but fortunately, Wu Chaoyue's big backer Su Shun was also present, and immediately said: "Fifth prince, it's too much to tease the king, right?" Wu Chaoyue knew that his writing was not good, but he still insisted on writing the book by himself, obviously he was too angry and didn't care about other things. ”

"He's angry? Isn't the monk king angry? Mianyu did not give up, and said: "His soldiers not only killed the soldiers under the command of the monk king, but also personally led the army to the door of the monk's military camp to make trouble. ”

In this matter, even Su Shun did not dare to help Wu Chaoyue, even the Mongolian Han Dynasty has always been the national policy of the Manchu Qing court, although Wu Chaoyue is the governor of real power, the title is more than one level lower than that of Monk Greenqin, if Su Shun really dares to say that Wu Chaoyue offended Monk Greenqin is doing a good job and doing it right, not to mention that the prince of the Eight Banners will never agree, even Emperor Xianfeng will not agree. So no matter how Su Shun wanted to help Wu Chaoyue, he could only shut up obediently at this point.

After successfully blocking Su Shun's stinky mouth, of course, the old prince Hui was triumphant and slandered Emperor Xianfeng, saying: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that no matter who is right or wrong in this matter, Wu Chaoyue can't run away from a flamboyant and domineering charge in the first place, and he dares to look at his relatives without relatives with a little military merit, how can he do it in the long run?" ”

After thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was impossible to promote such an atmosphere, and Emperor Xianfeng did not hesitate, and shouted: "Decree, Hubei Governor Wu Chaomu has no relatives and nobles, and if he commits the following crimes, he will be fined for one year and take off a flower feather to show a light punishment!" ”

When Mu Yin and Wen Qing and the other Manchurian military planes happily received the order, Su Shun, Zaiyuan and others inevitably changed their faces, and hurriedly reminded: "Master, Wu Chaoyue made it very clear in the excerpt that it was the monks and princes' soldiers who killed people first, and the monk was not punished, but Wu Chaoyue was punished, what would Wu Chaoyue think?" What will the Qing soldiers in Hubei think? ”

"I punish him for not respecting his elders and relatives and offending the county king!" Emperor Xianfeng shouted angrily: "The monks and king's soldiers killed people, didn't his soldiers also kill the monks and kings?" It's settled, and no one will be held accountable for this matter! ”

Su Shun complained bitterly in his heart, but he didn't dare to continue to persuade him, so he could only make up his mind and prepare to write a letter to Wu Chaoyue to comfort him, in addition, Su Shun also complained a little in his heart, and said secretly: "Little bastard, who are you messing with?" Why did you provoke Monk Greenqin? He's the one you can take down, too? ”

The will of favoring the monk and the prince to clean up Wu Chaoyue was issued on the same day, and then two days later, Zhao Liewen's ghostwriting was sent to the capital again. After reading Zhao Lie's article analysis and righteous words condemning the evil deeds of the monk and the prince, Emperor Xianfeng also regretted it a little in his heart, and then he knew that the monk and the prince were indeed at a loss in this matter, and once wanted to take back the will issued before, but only shook slightly, and Emperor Xianfeng dispelled this idea again.

"I have to beat Wu Chaoyue, this kid, no matter how reasonable he is in this matter, he can't spare this point of offending the county king in public, if the heroes under my command are as disrespectful to the prince as he is, then where does the majesty of the court exist? How to implement the national policy of Manchu and Mongolian harmony and co-governance of the Han people? Give him a little lesson, let him know that it is good to be respectful and orderly. ”

…………

When the holy decree of the Xianfeng Emperor was sent to Wu Chaoyue, Wu Chaoyue, who had publicly turned his face with the monk and the prince, had already withdrawn to the Xiangyang garrison with the army, and after listening to the holy decree of the Xianfeng Emperor deliberately favoring the monk and the prince, Wu Chaoyue did not say a word. It wasn't until he sent away the herald officials that Wu Chaoyue rushed to the playground of the self-army camp and shot at the sky continuously, alarming the soldiers of the whole battalion.

Knowing the details of what happened, and seeing with his own eyes Wu Chaoyue's sad and crying miserable appearance, of course, the soldiers of the Wu army gritted their teeth one by one, and scolded endlessly, although they only scolded the monk Greenqin, but what they really hated in their hearts was the Manchu court. After successfully planting the seeds of hatred in the hearts of the soldiers of the army, Wu Chaoyue ordered the memorial of Chen Xinguan, a soldier who was killed by the monk Wang Jun, and swore in public that he must seek justice for Chen Xinguan, and paid out of his own pocket to compensate Chen Xinguan's family, in exchange for the sworn allegiance of the soldiers of the Wu army.

That night, Wu Chaoyue let the soldiers drink the wine bitterly, and continued to scold at the banquet, but the result was quite surprising, Du Xing'a, who received the news, also led several generals, including Duolong'a, to the Wu army camp, while comforting Wu Chaoyue while scolding the monk Lingqin for his arrogance and bullying. Listening to the scolding of Du Xing'a and others doesn't seem to be fake, when Wu Chaoyue asked about Du Xing'a's origin, Du Xing'a told the truth, saying that he and these henchmen are actually tiger-fighting people, and they have been fighting for the Manchus for generations in the northeast, suffering in the ice and snow, surviving hard, and not even having the qualifications to enter the customs and move freely, this time it is completely thanks to the blessing of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and he was transferred to the Guannai to participate in the war by the Manchu court, which has insufficient troops, otherwise I am afraid that I will not have the opportunity to see the prosperity and wealth of the Central Plains until I die of old age.

After finally understanding why he felt that Duxing'a was not as disgusting and annoying as the Manchurians, Wu Chaoyue, who had a sparse history, of course, pulled Duxing'a and other Daur generals to drink, and inquired about the true origin of Duxing'a and others while drinking, and only then did he know that the Hu'er people were actually descendants of the Khitan, who lived in Heilongjiang before, and were forcibly conscripted as slaves after the rise of Tunguska wild boar skins, and suffered humiliation for the Manchus as cattle and horses, but they were still treated unfairly, and their social status was far less than that of the Mongolian Eight Banners who wore a pair of pants with the Manchurians.

What made Wu Chaoyue even happier was still to come, when mentioning the humiliating past of the Hu'er people and the miserable life outside the Guan, Du Xing'a and others also shed tears, crying bitterly about the compatriots of the same clan who are still living hard outside the Guan, as well as the discrimination, humiliation, and debasement and suppression they suffered in the face of the Manchurian rape. Wu Chaoyue accompanied Duxing'a, Duolong'a and other Daur compatriots to tears, and secretly said in his heart: "Okay, there is a door, and there is hope to fight for it!" ”

"In the future, as long as the people of Monk Lingqin dare to come to Hubei, they will beat me if they are caught! Fight for human life, this official is responsible! ”

Wu Chaoyue issued this order in a drunken state of mind by the Wu soldiers, and only one day later, the Wu soldiers seized such an opportunity, and caught a monk who came to Hubei to smuggle opium on the Xiangyang wharf.

Wu Chaoyue's fierce reaction of course made Seng Lingqin angry, and also alarmed the governor of Huguang who was sitting in the provincial capital, Guan Wen, and because he had been enslaved by the Manchu court for generations, the generals who fought Hu'er under the command of Duxing A were not monolithic, Wu Chaoyue pointed out that Sang scolded Huai in the Wu military camp to vent his dissatisfaction with the Manchu court, and it also reached the ears of the official Wen almost at the same time.

Although he was greedy for money and lustful, he was very conscientious in the official documents of Luo Bingzhang and Wu Chaoyue, two capable Han ministers, and felt that the situation was not right, so he hurriedly wrote a small report to Emperor Xianfeng, reporting Wu Chaoyue's reaction and attitude on this matter, and reminding Emperor Xianfeng that Wu Chaoyue had begun to show signs of dissatisfaction with the Manchu court.

The small report of the official document made Emperor Xianfeng very angry, Emperor Xianfeng knew that Wu Chaoyue had been wronged in this matter, but Emperor Xianfeng also had to maintain the authority of the Manchu and Mongolian nobles before he was forced to favor the monk Greenqin, but Emperor Xianfeng really didn't expect Wu Chaoyue's reaction to be so strong, and dared to point out that Sang scolded Huai Gong to vent his dissatisfaction with the Manchu court, and under the anger, Emperor Xianfeng gave birth to the idea of taking the initiative to rectify Wu Chaoyue for the first time.

It's okay for Wu Chaoyue, Emperor Xianfeng really can't get rid of Wu Chaoyue casually now, one is that the division is unknown, and the other is that during Wu Chaoyue's northward suppression, the main combat force of the Taiping Army has returned to the battlefield of Ningzhen in large numbers, and is fighting with the Qing army's Jiangnan Jiangbei camp upside down, and the battle is fierce and abnormal. So after thinking about it, Emperor Xianfeng still decided to teach Wu Chaoyue a lesson first, so that Wu Chaoyue knew how high the sky was and how thick the earth was.

If you want to teach Wu Chaoyue a lesson, you must first grasp the handle, this glorious task was of course handed over by Emperor Xianfeng to the official document of the governor of Huguang who worked in the same city as Wu Chaoyue, and there was no need to directly instruct it. However, what Emperor Xianfeng never expected was that his hint caused a big problem for Guanwen - because Guanwen did not have any handle about Wu Chaoyue in his hands.

The official document really couldn't grasp Wu Chaoyue's handle, Wu Chaoyue expanded the Fubiao to fifteen battalions, but in the war years when the governor of this place held heavy troops, Wu Chaoyue's direct force was inconspicuous at all, and it did not exceed the governor of any province. Wu Chaoyue also promoted some officials to be directly awarded real positions, but compared with Luo Bingzhang, who promoted Hunan officials, Wu Chaoyue's number of promotions was not even half, and it was also unreasonable for the official to start with this.

As for what kind of corruption and dereliction of duty, not to mention, among the Manchu officials, Wu Chaoyue is the best one who can pay out of his own pocket to supplement the treasury of the domain, Ren Cha is diligent and can faint in public, and he loves the people like a son when he governs, and his acting skills are superb and the image of being close to the people is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. So after pondering for a long time, the official document could not find a single charge that could rectify Wu Chaoyue.

It's not bad for Guan Wen, just when he racked his brains to pick bones in his eggs, there was a sudden good news from Xiangyang Mansion - among Wu Chaoyue's army, there were two blonde and blue-eyed foreigners, one of whom was hired by Wu Chaoyue as a military instructor.

"Fortunately, I finally have a handle." While breathing a sigh of relief, the official document did not hesitate, and immediately sent a letter to Monk Greenqin, so that Monk Greenqin also knew about this matter, and impeached Wu Chaoyue by the hand of Monk Greenqin, and then waited for Emperor Xianfeng to send a holy decree to let him come forward to investigate this matter and sound the alarm for Wu Chaoyue.
