Li Weiguo intended to control the military, political, and financial power of Zhejiang Province, but He Guiqing naturally quit and immediately spoke out against it.

It's just that He Guiqing suddenly discovered that he had already lured the wolf into the room, because Li Weiguo entered the yamen of the governor of Zhejiang with his front foot, and the Shanghai army then controlled the entire yamen.

The big and small officials in the yamen were counting on Li Weiguo to help them defend Zhejiang at the moment, so when they heard that Li Weiguo wanted to integrate all the manpower, material and financial resources in Zhejiang, they felt like a mirror in their hearts, this was to seize He Guiqing's rights. If it were a peaceful year, when these officials saw Li Weiguo doing this, they would oppose it, and it would be no different from rebellion. But now that it is a war year, Li Weiguo is the minister of the Qin Mission, responsible for exterminating the Taiping Army, and has the right to do so, as long as Li Weiguo does not openly rebel, no one dares to accuse him. After all, there is a precedent for this, just like Nian Qianyao dominated the northwest during the Yongzheng period, everyone understands what Nian Qianyao is doing.

Now these Zhejiang officials, they are all local natives, and they naturally have to consider their own vital interests, so it is impossible for them to follow He Guiqing to oppose Li Weiguo, anyway, it is the power struggle between Li Weiguo and He Guiqing, which has nothing to do with these officials, so they all surrender to Li Weiguo one by one.

Before coming to Hangzhou, Li Weiguo thought that he would encounter great resistance, but now he sees that these officials are very interested in handing over the power in their hands, which saves a lot of trouble.

He Guiqing was alone, and suddenly walked away.

Li Weiguo sneered, and immediately gave Zhang Xiaoliu a look, and the latter followed He Guiqing away. He Guiqing was quickly put under house arrest, and He Guiqing's henchmen died unexpectedly. Either the name of the mess was controlled.

Because the agents of the Chinese S.H.I.E.L.D. did an excellent job, He Guiqing's dang feathers were all arrested in time, and no one escaped.

Hangzhou quickly entered a state of military control, and the Shanghai army successively took control of various key departments such as yamen, barracks, money depots, and granaries, and imposed martial law on the streets to prevent civil unrest. Since the Shanghai army has often done this kind of thing in recent years, the officers and men are very experienced. Soon the city of Hangzhou was under control.

Subsequently, Li Weiguo found a calligraphy master and copied He Guiqing's notes to issue the order of the governor of Zhejiang. At the same time, he obtained the official seal and private seal from He Guiqing, and after stamping, he quickly sent it to all prefectures and counties in Zhejiang, ordering the local officials of each prefecture and county to unconditionally obey Hu Jun's dispatch and arrangement.

And just like that, in less than five days. The Shanghai army then controlled the entire Zhejiang Province except for Hengzhou.

It turned out that the Eight Banners and Green Battalion soldiers stationed in Zhejiang. As well as the regimental training forces in various places, they were all concentrated in the temporary camp outside Hangzhou and accepted reorganization.

As far as Li Weiguo is concerned, he naturally looks down on these Eight Banners and Green Battalion soldiers, as for the regimental training and armament in various places, it is still valuable, these regimental training soldiers are all newly selected, and most of them are poor peasants with the strength of their subordinates, and they are highly malleable. You can pick young and healthy people to join the Shanghai army.

Wu Yong came with the army and was responsible for pacifying local officials. The members of Li Weiguo's staff were placed in the yamen of various counties, grasped the secrets, and cooperated with Li Weiguo to completely control Zhejiang.

Governor Yamen, Wu Yong reported the situation in various places to Li Weiguo.

Li Weiguo was still very relieved about Wu Yong's talent, and after reading it roughly, he asked him about other things.

"Just now Zhang Xiaoliu came to report, saying that those Eight Banners old men in the camp outside the city were making trouble, and I also have a headache, sir, do you have a good plan?"

This is the first time Li Weiguo has a headache for those Eight Banners soldiers, no matter what city Li Weiguo occupied before, basically the Eight Banners soldiers in the city were either killed by the Knife Society, or by the Taiping Army, so Li Weiguo has never encountered the problem of rectifying the Eight Banners.

These Eight Banner soldiers are accustomed to acting as a prestige on weekdays, smoking big cigarettes, gambling and gambling, bullying men and women and doing all kinds of evil, it is definitely not okay to ask these people to fight, but it is even more impossible to dismiss them on the spot, and it is not Li Weiguo's style to feed them plainly.

Wu Yong thought for a while and said, "Since my lord is embarrassed, it is better to borrow the hands of the Taiping army and let them die on the battlefield, and everything will be solved." ”

Li Weiguo's eyes suddenly lit up, and sending these Eight Banners soldiers to the battlefield as cannon fodder was indeed the best way.

"That's it!"

Li Weiguo immediately made a decision that the more than 7,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners and more than 6,000 soldiers of the Green Battalion in the large camp outside Hangzhou did not meet the recruitment standards of the Shanghai Army after inspection, so he gave them a promotion fee and ordered them to go to the battlefield in Hengzhou Prefecture.

However, Li Weiguo still underestimated the strength of these Eight Banner soldiers, although they have no combat power, but their eyesight and scheming are very high, they are not fools, they go to Hengzhou Mansion to fight or send them to death, and the bannermen and generals led by them will stop their troops halfway through.

When the news was transmitted back to Hangzhou, Li Weiguo immediately frowned, and wanted to deal with the banner generals led by him.

Wu Yong smiled: "Why should you be angry, let alone deal with that flag strictly!" ”

Li Weiguo was puzzled and asked, "Sir, what do you mean by this?" If I don't handle the flag strictly, how can I send these masters to the battlefield as cannon fodder? ”

Wu Yong was not shocked, and the old god said with a smile: "If the adults will strictly handle the banner generals, then it will inevitably make the officials in Zhejiang suspicious, with their experience, they will soon guess that these flag men were sent to the battlefield by the adults to be sent to death as cannon fodder." ”

Li Weiguo pondered, what Wu Yong said was not unreasonable, so he asked, "What does Mr. mean?" ”

Wu Yong replied: "It doesn't matter who these bannermen died in or where they died, as long as the officials in Zhejiang knew that these bannermen died on the battlefield." ”

Li Weiguo's eyes tightened, and he immediately understood what Wu Yong meant, and asked, "Are you letting us do it ourselves!" ”

Wu Yong nodded and said: "With the intention of calculating unintentionally, and with the unprepared, those banner men and soldiers have no power to fight back at all!" In addition to it, there is no need to pretend to be the hands of the Taiping Army! ”

Li Weiguo glanced at Wu Yong, and the look of surprise flashed in his eyes, he had never seen Wu Yong so ruthless on weekdays, which shocked him. However, Li Weiguo covered it up very well, he knew that a real strategist is unscrupulous, which is also inevitable.

But. Li Weiguo is still a little more vigilant in his heart, because controlling such a strategist is a double-edged sword. If you don't command well, you will hurt yourself.

Thinking of this, Li Weiguo took a deep breath and had already made a decision.

"This plan is very good, I agreed, and I hope that Mr. will take a trip and teach Zhang Xiaoliu face-to-face, and properly handle this matter!"

Wu Yong smiled bitterly in his heart. He is a smart person, how can he not understand what Li Weiguo meant, and secretly said that his master is really very shrewd. The service is not leaky. This matter is not glorious, Li Weiguo did not even give Wu Yong an edict, and only asked him to discuss with Zhang Xiaoliu in person, which is obviously to clear up the relationship. Let Wu Yong be this bad guy.

"Worry for the Lord. It is Wu Yong's duty, rest assured, Wu Yong will definitely handle this matter properly! ”

Li Weiguo nodded, stopped talking, and Wu Yong retired.

After Wu Yong left, Li Weiguo immediately ordered someone to call Li Yang, an agent of the China S.H.I.E.L.D. Bureau.

Li Yangben was an orphan who was part of Li Weiguo's orphanage adoption program, although he was only 12 years old. But he is very smart, and he is a high-level agent carefully cultivated by Li Weiguo. He has been trained for more than three years with excellent results.

"Brother, you're looking for me!"

After Li Yang came in, he saluted Li Weiguo respectfully.

All the orphans adopted by Li Weiguo, regardless of age, male or female, call Li Weiguo his brother. For orphans, the eldest brother is like a father, but anyone who has a little human touch will be used by Li Weiguo in the future and be loyal to him.

Li Weiguo smiled slightly, asked Li Yang to sit down, and asked, "How are you doing?" ”

Li Yang arched his hand and said: "With Brother Lao's concern, everything is fine, brothers and sisters love each other, and progress is very fast!" ”

Li Weiguo nodded and added tea for Li Yang.

Li Yang has been practicing his skills in the China S.H.I.E.L.D. Bureau for more than three years, so he naturally observes words and feelings, and suddenly said: "Brother asked the younger brother to come, but there is something to order?" ”

Li Weiguo motioned for Li Yang to taste the tea first, and after Li Yang had a drink, he said: "Starting tomorrow, arrange servants and maids for every gentleman in the staff group." ”

"Does the elder brother want the siblings to spy on these people?" Li Yang asked in surprise, a little strange, because Li Weiguo had never monitored the members of his staff before.

Li Weiguo smiled and said: "Some strategists are becoming more and more ruthless, they have gradually lost the bottom line in doing things, just like a double-edged sword, if you use it well, you can kill the enemy, and if you don't use it well, you will hurt yourself." You don't have to spy on them too much, just do things by their side with peace of mind, if there is a day when they lose their humanity......"

Li Weiguo didn't continue, but Li Yang already understood, so he said: "Brother, don't worry, if anyone dares to step on the red line, they will report to their brother as soon as possible!" ”

Li Weiguo nodded and said, "Go down and prepare!" Remember, staff members like Wu Yong must be extra cautious when staying by their side. They should be very regular in three or five years, or even more than ten years, so you don't have to be in a hurry, just gradually blend in, don't be impatient, usually without my call, you don't need to take any action, unless it's a matter of life and death, you must not expose yourself. ”

"Don't worry, brother, we know!" Li Yang received the order and immediately went down to prepare.

Watching Li Yang leave, Li Weiguo sighed, he didn't want to do this, but with his net worth and life pressed on this road to hegemony, he was not allowed to have a trace of carelessness, because any carelessness could cause Li Weiguo's life and his family to suffer, which was the disaster that Li Weiguo didn't want to see. Looking at the founding stories of the past dynasties, there are still few things about the success and defeat of Xiao He and Xiao He, and the past can be learned, so Li Weiguo has to be vigilant.

It's just that he started to lay out the future so quickly, looking at the emperors of all dynasties in the world, but he is unique, and the only one who can mention it is only the modern Mao Taizu who has this ability. As a traverser, Li Weiguo knows the power of it, and it is understandable to do so.

CHINA S.H.I.E.L.D., THE WEAPON OF THE COUNTRY, THE SWORD OF THE KING.

And its owner can only be Li Weiguo himself.

Unconsciously, Li Weiguo's thoughts were far away, and when he woke up, it was already dark outside.

Three days later, Wu Yong and Zhang Xiaoliu returned to Hangzhou, bringing back news of the Battle of Meiling, where the Shanghai army had been defeated by the Taiping army and suffered heavy casualties.

In the city of Hangzhou, people were suddenly panicked.

Ordinary people began to sell their property and fled to Shanghai. Only some wise men discovered the problem, the so-called defeat and casualties of the Shanghai army, in fact, only the original Qing army in Zhejiang Province, the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion soldiers, were completely wiped out.

What does this mean, a discerning person can understand it as soon as he hears it, this is Li Weiguo deliberately borrowing the hands of the Taiping Army to destroy the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion. It's just that now they are all under the control of the Shanghai army, how dare they say more.

It's just that the Eight Banners are very sensitive, they all have families, and most of them have family backgrounds, this time the whole army is wiped out, and there are no bones, so they naturally want to make trouble.

Outside the governor's yamen, tens of thousands of bannermen came to ask for explanations, and all of them were very domineering, forcibly breaking into the yamen and beating the officials.

Li Weiguo had a headache, dealt with the Eight Banners Army, and was smashed by their families.

However, Li Weiguo quickly found Wu Yong, and since it was Wu Yong's strategy, let Wu Yong deal with the aftermath.

Wu Yong smiled bitterly, this wicked man can only be borne by him, and it is impossible for Li Weiguo to bear it, this is the responsibility of being a courtier, he will not let him do it, and he will strike again.

Dealing with these flag men, Wu Yong made up his mind to be evil, because he knew that as long as he showed weakness, then these flag men would kick their noses in the face and be even more presumptuous.

So Wu Yong resolutely refused to give in, only gave the family the bereavement compensation they deserved, and did not give a penny more, those who relied on the power of their own family continued to make trouble, Wu Yong directly arrested them and put them in prison.

In the face of Wu Yong's strength, the commotion soon subsided.

However, there are still some families of the banner people who did not stop there, and they soon spread the news, causing their relatives in the capital to intervene.

Li Weiguo knew very well that this kind of large-scale killing of the flag man would definitely cause a shock to the imperial court. Li Weiguo didn't want to dodge, as long as the court couldn't catch him, there was no way to take Li Weiguo.

However, soon a piece of news came, which made Li Weiguo suddenly nervous.

The Lan nobles in the palace suddenly broke the news that the Taiping Army's Northern Expedition failed, and Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang and others were captured and taken to the capital to be beheaded. This is a doomed thing, Li Weiguo was not surprised, but what made him nervous was that Hong Xuanjiao, who was supposed to die in the Northern Expedition, was not captured and returned to Tianjing safely.

Li Weiguo had a holiday with Hong Xuanjiao, and he hoped that Hong Xuanjiao would be a hundred times in the Northern Expedition. But the news from Lan Guiren indicates that Hong Xuanjiao was once captured, but for some reason he was released by Su Shun's people. Later, Su Shun gave Xianfeng a secret fold, and Li Weiguo secretly colluded with the Taiping Army, traded arms privately, and acted for the imperial court. Xianfeng was furious and had already ordered someone to secretly go south to investigate, once it was confirmed, it would be a catastrophe for Li Weiguo. (To be continued......)
