Chapter 779: Raising the Banner and Giving the Name
Chairs have been set up in the lobby of the prefect's yamen in the order of respect and inferiority, but there are more people coming, and there are dozens of generals above the green camp alone, so there are more people standing than sitting. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The officials in the yamen prepared the tea properly according to the previous rules, of course, the tea is only for those who have seats, and those who don't have seats can't stand it, who makes you unqualified to sit down. The rules are like this, but we can't be said to be snobbish.
The generals of the Green Battalion noticed that it was strange that the Manchurian soldiers who had usually obeyed the orders of Ezhen Babu had changed to Jin Li's orders, so they inquired about each other's news. The gentry didn't know about this, but they sat with each other for a while and whispered about how much they would donate, and everyone met in advance, with a number in their hearts, lest someone steal the limelight and cause everyone to have a negative impression in the eyes of the Manchurians.
Jin Li entered the hall surrounded by Manchurian armor and Han army, and what he saw was not Babu Ezhen, but Jin Lizhen, and all the uninformed officials and gentry were strange. But they were puzzled, but everyone's attitude was very respectful, and they all stood up to greet each other, and no one dared to express the doubts in their hearts.
Qin Guanglin, the prefect of Anqing, Tang Sanshui, the governor of Guangdong, and Chen Yuan, the general soldier of Jiujiang, arrived with Jin Li. After Jin Li sat down, he raised his hand to signal to Qin Guanglin, and Qin Guanglin hurriedly stepped forward to tell everyone about Jin Li's order to hunt down Yue Le's henchman Babu.
As soon as they heard that Babu resisted arrest and was killed, Wang Meng, Cao Jukui and other green camp generals all changed color, and the green camp generals were also buzzing. They can't help but be surprised, because although this matter was done by Jin Li's orders, there was no transition, and he killed people in the middle of the night, which was always weird, and people couldn't help but think about it. What's more, at present, the soldiers of the Ming army are under the city of Anqing, and suddenly the main general will change people, and the military heart will inevitably be touched.
"Quiet!"
Tang Sanshui saw that the gang in the green camp did not look good, so he strode forward and shouted loudly. Everyone immediately fell silent, and looked at Jin Li with stunned eyes.
Jin Li sat there with no expression on his face. On the side, the Manchurian soldier leader handed over a roster, but it was found from Babu.
Jin Li took the roster and didn't say anything, only named according to the roster. This move made everyone in the hall a little stunned: count the number of people without saying a word, could it be that Jin Li wants the new official to take office and burn three fires?
After the name call, Jin Li still didn't speak, he didn't speak, who dared to speak in the hall, one by one sat or stand, the atmosphere was a little tense.
Qin Guanglin, the prefect of Anqing, looked very ugly, and Chen Yuan, the general soldier of Jiujiang, looked like he had eaten a bitter melon, but Tang Sanshui, the governor of the GD, had a red face, and it seemed that the fall of Babu would be very beneficial to him.
Wang Meng and Cao Jukui couldn't figure out what Jin Li's calculations were, and Jin Li still hadn't shown the holy decree to capture Babu, so they didn't know whether this was true or not. But whether it is true or not, whether it is Babu or Jin Li, they are all the banner masters, and those Manchurian soldiers are all under his orders, even if they are fake, they can't control it. So the two men motioned to their men not to move, and only to see what happened when Jin Li gathered them.
After half a sound, Jin Li finally spoke, and he said: "Since there are all the people, then there is no need for the official to say more, who among you is a member of the Babu, stand up for yourself, lest the official interrogate people one by one." ”
As soon as he said this, everyone in the hall was stunned. Babu has only been in Anqing with Prince An Yue Le for more than a month, which one of his henchmen is in this Anqing City? If you want to say that it is a party member, it is the 200 Manchurian soldiers that Babu brought, but now these Manchurian soldiers have become your real soldiers, and what kind of party henchmen do you want to investigate?
Some people can't help but think, could it be that Jin Li is trying to knock the Anqing gentry hard in the name of arresting Babu's henchmen?
Cao Jukui and Wang Meng also thought the same, the two secretly scolded their mothers, Jin Li just wanted to make money, and they didn't look at what time it was! How can there be a large army of enemy soldiers besieging the city, and the main general is still raging in the city!
Everyone is not stupid, who will stand up and say that he is the henchman of the dead ghost Babu, isn't that looking for his own death?
Seeing that no one stood up, Jin Li was not angry, but looked at Tang Sanshui. Tang Sanshui grinned, and unexpectedly pulled out a small wine glass from his sleeve.
With a "horn", the wine glass fell to the ground.
Some officials and gentry who read a lot immediately remembered to "throw wine as a number", and they were so shocked that they either looked at the screen behind the hall, or turned their heads to look out.
Sure enough, there was a sound of armor outside the hall, accompanied by hurried footsteps, and I saw more than 100 Manchurian soldiers and the same number of Han army armor-clad soldiers with swords and swords breaking in, straight to this hall.
"Ezhen Mingjian, Babu has only been here in Anqing for more than a month, how can there be party henchmen!"
Cao Jukui thought to himself that he was the chief soldier of the water battalion, and Jin Li couldn't do without him if he wanted to hold Anqing, so when he saw the soldiers coming in, he couldn't help but step forward to defend himself.
"Really?"
Jin Li ignored Cao Jukui and walked straight to the back hall. Over there, Qin Guanglin, the prefect of Anqing, Tang Sanshui, the governor of GD, and Chen Yuan, the general soldier of Jiujiang, also quickly retreated to the back hall as if they had ventilated in advance.
Cao Jukui was startled, his consciousness was not good, and he was about to step forward to grab Tang Sanshui and ask for an understanding, but the Manchurian soldiers who rushed in had already wielded their knives to kill. They didn't say a word, they raised their knives and slashed, and an old man who had a reputation for raising people couldn't avoid it, and he was stabbed in the middle of the knife, and he fell in a pool of blood with a scream.
"What are you doing?"
The officials and gentry were startled, got up and shouted, there is no royal law, there are either court officials in the hall, or gentry loyal to the Qing Dynasty, how can you Eight Banner soldiers say kill it!
But the Manchu soldiers didn't answer at all, and they just killed people like crazy.
"E-really has a fate, kill all these Babu henchmen, and leave no one behind!"
Those soldiers were red-eyed, several people slaughtered one, the officials and gentry in the hall were all weak people, how could they be the opponents of this wolf-like soldiers, they didn't know how to escape, they were so frightened that they either ran around, or squatted on the ground and shivered. The generals of the green battalion were also stunned by this sudden change, which one had the opportunity to resist, even if they resisted, they could not defeat the wolves.
The whole massacre was less than half a pillar of incense, and the gentry and the generals of the green camp in Anqing City were killed. Wang Meng, the chief soldier of Nanyang, was killed by several knives, and Cao Jukui, the chief soldier of the water battalion, was cut off by the Manchurian soldiers.
Before the corpses in the prefect's hall were moved, Jin Li ordered Tang Sanshui and Chen Yuan to lead troops to take over the Nanyang Green Camp and Anqing Water Camp, while the prefect Qin Guanglin took the Manchu soldiers and the Han army to raid the homes of the slain officials and gentry, and used half of the money and property to appease the Nanyang soldiers and Anqing soldiers, and transported the rest to the prefect's yamen for later use.
In the afternoon of the same day, an urgent report was sent from Anqing Kuaima to Pazhou.
The urgent report was jointly issued by Gushan Ezhen, Guangdong Governor Tang Sanshui, Anqing Prefect Qin Guanglin, and Jiujiang General Chen Yuan, saying that tens of thousands of Taiping Kou soldiers were besieging the city, and Ezhen Babush Dayou fought fiercely with Taiping Kou for half a day, and unfortunately was killed by an arrow. Jin Li, Tang Sanshui and others led their troops to defend to the death, fighting fiercely with the enemy for a day and a night, and finally were able to hold the city.
After receiving the urgent report from Anqing, Shunzhi of Yangzhou Xingying, under the suggestion of Sony, felt that it was necessary to set up a model, so he ordered to carry Tang Sanshui into the Yellow Banner of Manzhou, give the Manchurian name Kuenbu, and confer the first-class Jingqi Nihafan, and serve as the governor of Jiangnan Jiang'an, and guard Anqing; Gushan Ezhen Jin Li was guilty of losing Jiangnan, and he was meritorious in assisting Anqing, fined 3,000 taels of silver, and made meritorious service under Tang Sanshui; Although Chen Yuan, the chief soldier of Jiujiang, was guilty of losing the land, he had meritorious service in guarding and served as the chief officer of the Anqing Water Division. Cao Jukui, Wang Meng and other generals who died in the war each had a pension and a reward for their families.
