Chapter 225: General Jiang Ning

(2nd Update)

At the foot of Zhongshan Mountain, the majestic Jiangning City, since ancient times is the place where the dragon and the tiger are located, since the Three Kingdoms Dongwu built the capital here, a total of six dynasties, nearly 100 emperors will be placed here, of course, time flies, to modern times, these monuments are no longer there, even the former Ming Dynasty has been downgraded to Jiangning Mansion, the so-called Jinling King Qi is gloomy, more than 500 years, the title of Jiangning Mansion is the largest but a Liangjiang Governor station.

Seventy years ago, the signing of the Treaty of Jiangning opened the door for the Western world to pour into the East.

This point can be heard almost everywhere in Jiangning City, foreigners wearing top hats spread the streets, and the foreign goods that followed them entered thousands of alleys, electric lights, telegraphs, and even automobiles, are no longer a rare thing, and rich families with some hard goods in their pockets will also buy cigarettes and foreign fires for recreation.

Although the west wind is blowing eastward, there are some old things that have remained the same for hundreds of years, such as the regulations of the Manchu and Han segregation, and some stubborn old bureaucrats.

Jiangning General Fushun is such a person.

After the Eight Banners entered the customs, the Eight Banners were stationed throughout the country, and the general was the head of the Eight Banners of the garrison, followed by the capital commander, the deputy general Yunyun, who mainly governed the Eight Banners Army in the territory, and in the early Qing Dynasty, the general had great power, not only independent of the local administrative system, but also ranked above the governor.

However, with the rapid decline of the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banner Army, by the end of the Qing Dynasty, in order to train the new-style army, a large number of the Eight Banner Army and the original old-style army were eliminated, and this position became even more like a chicken rib.

Of course, he doesn't seem to think so.

In front of the general's mansion, the guards are strictly guarded, the past personnel are strictly forbidden to haunt, so as not to disturb the tranquility of the mansion, here is located in the inner city, the people who live are generally banner people, as the ancient school that believes in the supremacy of the Manchus, Fushun has previously ordered that the Han people are strictly forbidden to enter the inner city, and the Manchus do not produce, resulting in the withering of the people's livelihood in this area, the people flee, scattered, in just a few years, the population is less than 1,000 households, it seems that here is like a ghost area, sparsely populated, but the outer city, the Manchu and Han are interconnected, they are happy, and modern facilities continue to spread, It has become an irrepressible trend for people from the inner city to go to the outer city.

Although now, Fushun still repeatedly prohibits it, bluntly saying that the law of the ancestors can not be changed, completely ignoring the "change of flag" decree issued by the imperial court before, and making an independent kingdom in the jurisdiction.

Even so, Fushun felt more and more powerless, in the final analysis, he was just a garrison general, with no real power in his hands, no matter how big his official rank was, could he be bigger than the overflowing hearts of the people?

"General! Checkmate! ā€

The scribe of the General's Mansion hurriedly ran to Fushun and knelt down to report, "The servant received a telegram from Hankow, saying that Governor Liang had boarded the ship three days ago, and the servant had calculated this morning, and the ship would arrive in the afternoon this season." ā€

Fushun Mansion is full of people, if you see the Han people, you always feel superior, people like him, even in the late Qing Dynasty, are rare.

"So fast?" Hearing the news, Fushun muttered, the new governor arrived, he naturally wanted to go, but whoever the governor of Liangjiang, no matter who it was, he couldn't afford to offend, the governor of Liangjiang plus the minister of Nanyang, in addition to holding the military and political power in the southeast, also had the right to negotiate with foreigners cheaply, these general lists, far from his empty rank of general comparable.

"According to the usual practice, the lord is greeted by the Liangjiang Governor's Office, and in the evening, there is also a reception banquet, at that time, the feudal platform, the Taoist platform, the commander, the inspector, and the admiral are all present, and when the toast is spoken, the lord should be the first to speak...", the scribe reminded one by one.

These Fushun knew in his heart that if he arrived in the afternoon, he would have to prepare well now, at least bring some gifts, and when he worked together in the future, he would be able to talk.

However, what he has to prepare is far more than that, and for the past few days, Fushun has been thinking about it.

Waving his hand, he instructed the scribe: "General Ben knows, you go down and prepare, after noon, in half an hour, set up the Liangjiang Governor's Office, remember, bring a few rare things." ā€

The scribe went in response, Fushun knocked left and right, and a person walked into the inner room, opened the drawer, and took out a page of tissue paper from the bottom, which was neatly written with small telegram letters, from the capital thousands of miles away.

"Liangbi is appointed as the governor, you are in Jiangning, pay more attention, this person is scheming, I am afraid that there will be a big rebellion, if there is an incident, no matter how big or small, you must report it, do not make the capital anxious."

The payment of the telegram, impressively written ****** the government, there is no doubt that this is Yi-Liang sent to him in a private capacity, although the content on it is very concise, but Fushun is not stupid, this is to him to spy on the future governor Liangbi, he has always been clear about the affairs of officialdom, writing such a telegram means that the relationship between the two is in the nature of political enemies.

"Liangbi, is that the Liangbi minister who has become famous recently?"

Fushun and Ye Kaiping met in the water, and they had never even met in person, let alone Qiu Yun, but no matter how famous they were, they couldn't match a telegram from Yi-Liang, and he had a great relationship with Yi-Liang, and he could be regarded as a member of Qingji Company.

"Who is this good minister?"

Staring at the newspaper, Fushun became more and more curious, what kind of person can make the prime minister worry again, of course, it is certainly not as simple as the above "scheming is deep, I am afraid of a big rebellion", these are all passing words, inadvertently, Fushun has a trace of expectation.

Shaking his head and lighting the candle, Fushun threw the telegram into the brazier and burned it, then patted himself and walked out the door as if nothing had happened.

"My lord, the sedan chair is ready."

The time soon came, and the officials and scribes came out one after another, following around Fushun, and behind the sedan chair, they also sent someone to carry a large box, which was the so-called gift, and there must be no lack of yellow and white things in it.

"Let's go"

Fushun shouted, then stepped through the door of the mansion and walked towards the sedan chair, and his followers hugged each other.

As soon as he left the house, a gust of wind rushed to his face, and not far away, someone rode two fast horses and was galloping.
