Chapter 205: Exposed
readx;
Guan Xuqing, who was far away in Hangzhou, barely smelled anything wrong. After the www.biquge.info exposed his identity in Hangzhou, the troops stationed in Hangzhou, his own guard regiment and the personal Imperial Forest Army protected the emperor's safety without leaking.
Guan Xuqing, who wanted to see the mountains and rivers of Hangzhou, almost never left the gate of the Hangzhou Mansion Yamen after revealing his identity, and officials at all levels below the governor of Zhejiang learned that the holy car was here, and the people who handed over the sign every day to meet him formed a long line.
As if he had returned to the palace, Guan Xuqing met with officials from all over the world all day long, inspected their political achievements and gave them certain instructions. On the surface, everything is very calm, except for the officials, the news of the holy car in Hangzhou is still quite tightly blocked. At least few of the local people in Hangzhou know about it!
On this day, Guan Xuqing was having lunch and was just about to take a lunch break. Wang Shang hurriedly ran in again, and Guan Xuqing didn't need to look at it to know that there must be another official coming to meet him.
"Who is it? Almost all the officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces have seen each other. None of them are gone, I need to get some rest! Guan Xuqing lay on the unique recliner and said lazily while slightly shaking the folding fan he had bought next to the West Lake.
"Back to the emperor, it was General Zhao Bingjun and Zhao who asked to see him. Say it's 100,000 urgent! Wang Shang knelt on the ground and said embarrassedly.
Guan Xuqing was slightly stunned, Zhao Bingjun? Isn't he training intelligence officers outside the gates, why did he come here? Seeing Wang Shang's extremely reluctant face, it was obvious that he had tried his best to block it, but he couldn't be lured by Zhao Bingjun's power, so he came in very reluctantly to report.
"Hmm...... Let him in. Guan Xuqing sat up and straightened his shirt.
After a while, Zhao Bingjun hurriedly ran in.
"Minister, knock to see the emperor!" Zhao Bingjun fell to his knees.
"Let's be flat, tell me why you're here? What's more urgent than training your intelligence officers? Do you want you, a great general, to toss back and forth for thousands of miles? Guan Xuqing asked a little angrily.
"Back to the emperor, the radio station accompanying the emperor has been deciphered by the thieves. The minister didn't dare to start the emperor through the radio, and he was not at ease with his subordinates, so he came in person. Zhao Bingjun said coldly, without much nervousness.
Guan Xuqing's expression moved, obviously Zhao Bingjun's words surprised him a lot.
"What? Are you saying someone is going to rebel? Guan Xuqing's eyebrows rose slightly, and he didn't show any panicked look.
"It's not that serious, it's just that some people with bad intentions are spreading rumors in the northwest. Attempted to list the territory and break away from the imperial court. Zhao Bingjun continued.
Guan Xuqing didn't laugh angrily, as if he was interested, and he instantly fell asleep. He continued to ask curiously, "Oh? How do you know? Aren't you training intelligence officers outside the gates! Why do you know so much about things in the Northwest? With such a big move, why didn't the imperial court notice it at all? ”
"Of course, it is difficult for the emperor to perceive all kinds of opportunities, and the adults in the court have their own errands, and only the ministers are responsible for this. Although the ministers were in the northeast, the first batch of graduated intelligence officers had already been placed in various corners of the Qing Dynasty. To put it mildly, all the places that the emperor has passed through from the beginning of his departure from the palace to the present have been secretly protected by his ministers along the way. Not to mention such a big move in the northwest, there is a reason that the minister doesn't know. Zhao Bingjun said proudly.
Guan Xuqing laughed and said, "Haha, I really didn't see the wrong person. General Zhao is really the first capable minister of this dynasty! Let's talk about what Nie Shicheng's situation is now. ”
Zhao Bingjun looked at Guan Xuqing in surprise, and asked suspiciously: "Didn't the emperor suspect that General Nie committed the rebellion?" ”
Guan Xuqing stood up, patted Zhao Bingjun on the shoulder and said, "General Nie is the oldest general in this dynasty except for Zuo Zongtang and Feng Zicai. If he had a different heart, my country would have been gone more than ten years ago. ”
"The emperor is sage, and the minister has suspected General Nie before. What a shame! Zhao Bingjun lowered his head and continued: "Please rest assured that General Nie has a very high prestige in the army. Even if the northwest is really in chaos, there will be no big chaos with the deterrence of the old troops under General Nie. ”
"Well, you just said that my radio station has been deciphered?" Guan Xuqing asked suspiciously.
"The minister estimates that this is the case, the emperor just sent a telegram a few days ago that the son of the prefect of Hangzhou was enrolled in the Heilongjiang Military Academy to study, and the northwest immediately sent no less than 200 dead soldiers to Hangzhou in ten batches from five directions. Therefore, the minister estimated that the radio station of the Holy Driver had been deciphered. Zhao Bingjun said seriously.
"Hehe, it really took a lot of thought. Tell me, who's having trouble with me? Guan Xuqing finally showed a murderous look.
"Former general of the Chu battalion, later served as the chief soldier of Tianjin, once assisted the emperor to suppress the guards of the capital to help the emperor successfully pro-government, one of the top ten generals of the Qing Dynasty before the military system was changed, Wu Guang." Zhao Bingjun said it skillfully.
Guan Xuqing didn't have any expression, still squinting at Zhao Bingjun. Maybe it was unexpected by him, maybe it was reasonable, and the tangled pain may only be known to him.
Emotionally speaking, Wu Guang was a general who helped him pro-government, and he should have been reused. But during his tenure as a general, he still did not change his previous ruffian habits. Beat and scolded the people, gathered crowds to gamble, etc., although they fought bravely, but they couldn't read a few big words. Several times he asked him to go to the Black Army (Heilongjiang Military Academy) school, but he didn't go.
Therefore, he has not been promoted several times in the reform of the military system, and his former subordinates such as Luo Min, Wang Feng, Fang Shizhen, Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang, Zhang Xun, Cao Kun, Lu Rongting, Xu Shichang, Duan Zhigui, etc., are now on an equal footing with him.
Moreover, because he was not allowed to fight in several foreign wars, it was obvious that he did not recognize his command and the combat effectiveness of his troops. With nowhere to vent his anger, he slowly walked towards a point of no return.
"Oh, it's him! No wonder, no wonder. Guan Xuqing came back to his senses from his contemplation and continued: "Then we have to trouble General Zhao to send a telegram to Dong Liang, so that he can immediately assemble the first division and rush to Taiyuan, and then let the second division immediately rush to Zhengzhou, and let Liu Mingchuan rush the third and fifth divisions in the southwest to Chongqing and Chengdu as soon as possible. ”
"Wow." Zhao Bingjun responded: "But, what about the emperor's more than 200 assassins? ”
"Hehe, if I don't know, maybe they still have a chance, but I already know, do you think they still have a chance? I'm afraid that they won't show up, and as soon as they show up, I will make them come and go. Although Guan Xuqing said with a smile, there was an imperceptible fierce light in his eyes.
"Wow." Zhao Bingjun turned around and prepared to leave.
"Tell them to keep a low profile as much as possible. I don't want this family to be ugly. Guan Xuqing commanded.
"Yes."
