Chapter 701 The Battle of the Yangtze River: The World is in Chaos

“…… That's it, Manager Liu, Governor Handu, in order to avoid the misery of the people in Jiangnan, he also hopes to raise his noble hand. ”

Longmen, Jiangnan Xingying, after Zuo Weisheng finished speaking, Liu Xingchun, the head of Jiangnan Xingying, and Han Zaixing, the governor of Jiangnan, froze at the same time, both had the urge to rub their ears again to make sure that they had heard correctly.

"Zuo Weisheng hired a dart game, and the place to go is ......"

After Zuo Weisheng said goodbye, the movement was also detected by the secret spies in the camp, and after listening to the place, the two looked at each other, and they were just perfunctory Zuo Weisheng before, but at this time they felt that this was the best choice.

Of course, Liu Xingchun hopes that Jiangnan will go down without a fight, but he still has concerns about this matter, "Nian Qianyao wants to move his nest, and it will save us from fighting in Jiangnan, but it is difficult to guarantee that he has some conspiracy." This person is ruthless and fluctuating, and he should never be underestimated. Fan Duyan was put on a show by him back then, although he only suffered a loss on his face, but he helped him survive a catastrophe in vain. ”

Han Zaixing said: "If you don't want Jiangnan to become a white ground, you should put on a posture of a big war!" It doesn't matter what Nian Qianyao has in mind, as long as he doesn't get in our way, let him go. The Huaiyuan army has now gathered two divisions, as long as we wait for the White Swallow's navy to arrive, we will do it immediately! ”

Liu Xingchun took a deep breath and recovered Jiangnan, right in front of him, "I can't wait anymore......"

When they were excited, their subordinates reported another major event in the north, and the area involved was the same as Zuo Weisheng's whereabouts, and the hearts of the two jumped, and most of their doubts about Nian Qianyao's move suddenly dissipated, and they were already roughly clear about Nian Qianyao's calculations.

"It's worthy of Nian Qianyao, he really dares to think about it."

"There is a precedent for Shi Shibiao back then, of course he dares to think about it."

"If Yongzheng learns about this, he doesn't know how wonderful that face is."

"That's Your Majesty's fun, what we should be happy about is Li Fu's face."

The two of them laughed, and in the yamen of the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in Suzhou Prefecture, Li Fu really had a stinky face, and his face was about to wrinkle and cramp.

"The Nanban has occupied Wuchang, and will soon go down to Jiujiang, and then take Anqing along the river, Jiangning is under the Nanban soldiers, and at that time, the Longmen Nanban raised his arms and shouted, and Jiangnan was gone! Jiangnan is gone, what else can you people do? You are not Xie Dingbei, not He Mengfeng, not Yue Chaolong! You're just ants! Nanban will not tolerate you! ”

"The Jiangnan camp of the Nanban secretly recruits people in various states and counties, in order to replace the entire Jiangnan Green Camp, and then you will not only have no livelihood, but you will also be beaten as a prisoner by the Nanban! If you have read the newspapers of Nanban, you should know that Nanban expanded its business everywhere in Nanyang, not only to capture local people as slaves, but also to use prisoners and prisoners of war! If you go to the Nanban, what will happen to you, the children know! ”

Li Fu was intimidating a group of Jiangnan Green Battalion soldiers, and the decay of the Hubei Green Battalion made him extremely vigilant, not only hurriedly purging the Green Battalion generals, but also pulling the leaders of the supervising standards over, persuading and increasing coercion, wanting to firmly grasp the Jiangnan Green Battalion. can see that the faces of the soldiers are numb, and the response is weak, so you know that the effect is not very good.

Li Fu is a well-educated person, who does not understand soldiers and does not attach importance to the management of soldiers, so he feels that as long as the civil servants are majestic and the knowledge and truth are in their hearts, they can drive the warriors like waving their arms. Although he is in charge of many gold bureaus in various parts of Jiangsu, there are millions of taels of silver a year, but most of them are spent on the matter of uprightening the hearts of the people and cultivating cultural governance, and he has been in charge of Jiangsu and Zhejiang for many years, and there is no improvement in Jiangnan Green Camp, and it is no wonder that Nian Qianyao judged that Li Fu knows how to gather money and does not know how to use money.

The lesson of the Hubei Green Camp was too profound, and Li Fu was anxious to make amends, but he himself knew that it was too late to govern the army at this time. But with a righteous heart in his chest, Li Fu is still doing his best.

is training so much that spit is flying all over the sky, and the staff is waving in a panic outside.

In the back hall of the yamen, listening to the narration of the staff, Li Fu's face turned from black to red, and then from red to blue, and said dejectedly: "The situation has actually deteriorated to such a point........., and then his waist straightened and his teeth gritted: "How can you allow him to make the first move?" Tell his people that he will clean up his own territory, and here in Jiangsu, I, Li Fu, will do it! ”

The staff lamented: "It's too late, Dong Weng, Nian Qianyao said that the emperor promised to act cheaply, and his soldiers have already entered Suzhou!" ”

Li Fu was so shocked that he coughed up his saliva, and pointed out the door while coughing, "Quick!" Hurry up ......"

Suzhou Weaving Mansion, Li Xu shook his head at Chang Bin, the prefect of Suzhou, who came to report the news, and said: "I expected it, and the emperor will not let me go." I have been working for the first emperor for decades, and I don't dare to bear the name of disloyalty, so let Li Fu come. ”

Chang Bin, who was already wearing the same pants as Li Xu, stomped his feet and said: "Oh, the emperor is coming to get you, it was that Qianyao who wanted to fish in troubled water that year!" Hangzhou weaving has been copied by him, now staring at you and Jiangning Cao's family! ”

Li Xu's eyes were round, and Nian Qianyao ...... How did he jump out? Without Yongzheng's will, he dared to capture officials and raid his family, this is simply a rebellion!

Chang Bin was so anxious that he almost jumped up: "The world is in chaos!" Not only does Nian Qianyao want to fish in troubled waters, but Li Fu also has the same mind! I know that you have accumulated a lot of wealth in the Jiangnan three weaving industry, and you don't like it for the emperor on weekdays, so it is a good opportunity for you to buckle the hat of Litong Nanban and plunder the wealth! ”

Li Xu gasped, the world is in chaos?

It is not clear whether the world is chaotic or not, Jiangnan is in chaos. Li Xu fled in a hurry, and did not forget to send the news to the Cao family in Jiangning. As soon as he walked on the front foot, Li Fu's supervisor arrived on the back foot. Not long after, Nian Qianyao's soldiers also arrived, and the two sides drew swords and wielded guns in the Suzhou Weaving Mansion to confront each other, and finally reached a compromise and grabbed half of each......

Li Xu is just one of the fat sheep, the elite team sent by Nian Qianyao is scattered in Suzhou, Hangzhou, Ningbo and other prefectures, according to the list, go straight to the rich businessmen, directly start robbing, and even the team is rushing to Jiangning.

Li Fu was a step late, and he was not as unscrupulous as Nian Qianyao, so he only cleaned up those wealthy businessmen who were usually good friends with Nanban in Suzhou City. When the news spread, all the wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan were all cracked, with their wives and concubines and children, dragging soft gold and silver, and fled to Longmen.

"The world is in chaos, if you want to guard Jiangnan, you have to hold the silver money first! Otherwise, it will be difficult to gather people's hearts. Nian Qianyao not only saw it thoroughly, but he was also really ruthless......"

didn't get much silver, Li Fu hated and praised, and then he noticed one thing, Nian Qianyao didn't touch Jiangnan Bank......

"Does he have the courage to fry the family of Sanweaving, but he doesn't have the courage to rob Nanban's money bag? He has no guts, I have dare! Afraid of Nanban retaliation? What time is it? It's time to tear your face and set Jiangnan for life and death! ”

Li Fu was vicious, and the staff were still hesitating, and he reprimanded angrily.

On 18 June, the chaos in Jiangnan reached its climax, when Li Fu's Jiangsu-Zhejiang Governor besieged the head office of the Jiangnan Bank in Suzhou, and the sound of gunfire echoed in this prosperous city that had been peaceful for 80 or 90 years.

The world is in turmoil, the people's hearts have been scattered, and the different performances of Qing court officials in Jiangnan are the best commentary. Li Fu attacked Jiangnan Bank, but Chang Bin, the prefect of Suzhou, commanded the Suzhou City Defense Battalion to occupy one side and deliver ammunition, grain and rice to Jiangnan Bank. On the 19th, there was a brigade of soldiers with "Hangzhou Banner" written on the coat to attack the superintendent, which turned out to be Nian Qianyao's family raiding team. Jiangnan Bank only had one or two hundred guards, and they were unharmed in this turmoil, and the two or three million taels of silver in the head office were unscathed.

Li Fu really couldn't believe that he always preached righteousness to these county officials, and most of the local candidates were appointed by him, the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and when the national disaster came, he actually regarded him, the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, as nothing.

The county officials, especially Chang Bin, the prefect of Suzhou, were jumping to scold Li Fu. They don't have the heart to serve the Nanban, for them, the magistrates, if they don't maintain normal order, how can they settle the people of a city? can't settle the people of a city, isn't this directly giving up Jiangnan to Nanban? ..., the world is in chaos, for Li Fu and the magistrates, the fate of Jiangnan is like being in the clouds, no one can see clearly, they are still trying to do their duty. Unfortunately, because of their different understandings of this fate, their efforts are also in different directions. The local county government felt that Li Fu, who was competing with Nian Qianyao to see who had grabbed the most, had gone crazy, not only did not cooperate, but also desperately blocked it. An official like Chang Bin, the prefect of Suzhou, who has contacts with Longmen and has his own connections in the north, even rolled up his sleeves and slapped Li Fu in the face.

Li Fu no longer dared to trust the Jiangnan officials, so he let his staff and cronies go to Suzhou, Zhenjiang, Jiangning, and Huai'an with the green battalions that could still be used, and directly took off the top of the county government officials, grasped the military and political power, and confronted the Nanban who was about to invade Jiangnan on a large scale, and at the same time squeezed out the three forces of Nian Qianyao, who took advantage of the chaos and rentier, as well as Jiangning general Zhao Hongen, and Jingkou general Bazin.

"The world is in chaos! It is the time to show the loyalty and courage of our generation, and the Great Righteous Society must firmly guard Songjiang Mansion and eliminate all traitors! ”

In Songjiang Mansion, Lin Yuanfu, who received Zhuge Jisheng's order, gathered people and rushed to the county government of Huating County, his weak face was red and distorted with excitement. Zhuge Jisheng won the alternate Dao and was in charge of the entire Songjiang Mansion, and as long as he took off the top of Huating County and got the big seal of the county, he Lin Yuanfu would be the master of the county.

Whether it is Songjiang Mansion or Huating County, the chief official is surrounded by Nanban's master, almost like a puppet. Lin Yuanfu has a deep understanding of this. He organized hundreds of members of the Great Righteous Society, and encouraged thousands of peripheral members of the Great Righteous Society, all of whom had damaged their interests due to the influx of Nanban merchants.

Before I saw the county government, a large group of officials poured out, followed by more people, many of whom still had long scissors pinned to their waists, which was the scissors club.

The conflict quickly escalated from words to limbs, and the spat escalated into a splash of blood. With the old enemy scissors guiding, the team of the Great Righteous Society quickly collapsed and scattered, Lin Yuanfu's eyes were red, and he roared angrily towards a vaguely familiar figure in front of him: "Lackey! Nanban's lackey! You will not die well! ”

With a bang, a stick swung over from the side and smashed on Lin Yuanfu's cheek, and several teeth sprayed high with blood. A servant looked at Lin Yuanfu who was rolling on the ground, and spit on him: "Who are you talking about!?" Who are the lackeys of Nanban? Even if we are lackeys, we are also lackeys of the Qing Dynasty......"

The leader of the Scissors Club, Xu Maolin, who used to sell hats, tried hard to squeeze through the crowd, wanting to catch Lin Yuanfu, who was the last enemy. And the words of the official made him very entangled, this guy really didn't know that his salary was opened by the Jiangnan Xingying of Longmen, and he thought that he was doing things for the Manchu court?

Xu Maolin didn't catch Lin Yuanfu, even if the magistrate of Huating County came to thank him, he didn't give a good face. And Huating Zhixian's words made his brain dizzy even more.

"Huating is the Huating of the imperial court after all, and it is by no means the backyard of some governors! Our parents and officials always have to do things for the villagers and elders in a county. President Xu has a great reputation and extraordinary courage, is he willing to succumb to Huating to practice his general duties? ”

Xu Maolin said in his heart, who are you? And when I became the head practitioner, who was I?

Being in Jiangnan at this time, whether it is the government or the people, the chaos has made people nervous split.

In the Forbidden City of Beijing, Yongzheng's hand trembled, and a scarlet coarse mark was suddenly left on the white fold.

"The White Lotus Sect and the Maitreya Sect in Shandong are in turmoil, the Wenxiang Sect in Anhui is in turmoil, and the Hongyang Sect in Shanxi is in turmoil. Shanxi and Anhui are not large in scale, and there should be no major trouble, but Shandong is in chaos, the White Lotus Sect thieves have gathered tens of thousands, and the two counties of Juye and Jiaxiang have been broken, and the Maitreya Sect also has tens of thousands of thieves, breaking the ...... of Le'an in Qingzhou"

The world is in chaos! ..., Zhang Tingyu's voice floated from the sky, listening to Yongzheng's ears, it was unreal.

Wuchang fell, Hubei was eroded, and this was only the military of the north and the south. But Zhili suddenly broke out such a rebellion, Li Wei was already crying in the fold, full of bleak words of "loyal to death", which made Yongzheng want to faint and try to see if it was just a nightmare when he woke up.

Several ministers of military aircraft were there, and Ma Qi suddenly said: "Nian Qianyao urgently reported to the Ministry of War, saying that Xuzhou also has signs of White Lotus Sect activities, he is afraid that something will happen in Xuzhou, Nanban took advantage of the situation to go north, and is cooperating with Li Fu, on the one hand, to clear Nanban's sentinel in the south of the Yangtze River, and on the other hand, together with Jiangning General Zhao Hongen and Jingkou General Bazin, send troops to Xuzhou to stabilize people's hearts." The emperor also knew that the Jiangnan Green Camp was no longer available. ”

Yongzheng knew about this, Nian Qianyao said on the excerpt, thinking that a while ago, Nian Qianyao also said in the excerpt that once the situation in the north and south changes, he will smash Jiangnan, at least put on a bad posture, and Yongzheng has a bad chill in his heart. At that time, he didn't care, he no longer trusted Nian Qianyao, Jiangnan is already a place that is difficult to keep, how to toss it has nothing to do with the overall situation, as long as he can get as much profit as possible in the end. So he hinted to Nian Qianyao that he could move Hangzhou to weave at that time, but he had to pay the silver in full.

Looking back now, Nian Qianyao seemed to foresee the chaos of the situation...... Yongzheng thought that the evil fire was rising, and even faintly felt that this matter was not caused by Nian Qianyao secretly communicating with Nanban?

This direction is too terrifying, Yongzheng didn't dare to think about it, so he hoped that Ru Xi's words could be passed as soon as possible, and he could quickly stop fighting with Na Li Xian, so that he could concentrate on cleaning up the bandits under his rule. But will Li Xi take advantage of the fire to rob? He really wants the lion's mouth to be big, so what should he do? In this situation, even if I want to destroy the world, it will be difficult to threaten Li Shi, because the world has begun to fester......

"Master! Master, it's not good! The Ministry of Internal Affairs is besieged! ”

Yongzheng thought that his brain hurt, and a person rushed in like a mourner, it was Gao Bin, the director of the Internal Affairs Office. The military planes are furious and are discussing military affairs, what kind of excitement is the coating of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?

"The Baoyi people are asking the chief manager for their families, and it is rumored in the capital that the Xishan camp has been wiped out in Jiangxi, and no one in the camp has escaped. The wrappers cried and screamed, saying that the disaster of ten years ago had come again......"

Gao Bin's words didn't match each other, but as soon as everyone heard it, their braids were about to stand up.

Yongzheng is even more like being pierced through the tail vertebrae by a sharp sword from the Parkway, and it is over...... He actually forgot about the camp in the West Mountain!

Of course, he didn't really forget, but he didn't think it was the point before. Although the Xishan battalion had not made meritorious contributions in Jiangxi before, its combat strength was still shown. can work hard with Nanban head-on, and have an advantage in Jiangxi, so there should be no worries about survival. After the fall of Wuchang, Tian Wenjing and Xibao both had excerpts, except for scolding Yue Zhongqi and Ortai, plus complaining, they didn't feel how sinister they were.

What made Yongzheng extremely frightened was that he forgot that the Manchurian military camp in Xishan was related to the hearts of the Manchurians of a country. The Manchu military camp was not all Manchurian, and there were many Han army banner people. But the generals at all levels are all Manchurians, and they are either masters and slaves with the princes and clans, or they are related to each other. If it is true as the rumors say, the Manchu military camp is finished, and he, the emperor, will no longer be able to hold the hearts of the Manchurians.

Rumors, rumors...... What Liu Tongxun said before is really a good word.

"What did Haiwang do? Hurry up to find out the source of the rumors! ”

Yongzheng opened his mouth and put the blame on Haiwang, the head of the Internal Affairs Office, and at the same time was thinking about how to appease the coat of the Internal Affairs Office.

"Hooray! Oh no! ”

But the affairs of the Internal Affairs Office had not been sorted out, and the chief eunuch Wang Yicheng rushed in.

"A large group of ladies and ladies gathered outside the palace gate to beg for their children......"

Several people in the military plane showed such looks, and Ma Qi did not blink his eyelids, as if he already knew it.

Yongzheng felt that his eyes were blurry again, and he quickly took out two pills from the pill bottle, raised his head and swallowed them, only then did he break through the scorching air pressure above his head.

He sneered: "Okay, okay, the woman here has also learned from the south and started jumping up and down." ”

Not only a woman, Yongzheng didn't see it at this time, in front of the mansions of countless nobles of the Eight Banners in the entire capital, there were countless old and weak women and children kneeling. Ordinary banner people look for the leader to ask for their family, the leader looks for the leader to ask for the family, the leader looks for the co-leader Dutong, the co-leader goes to the nobles and clans, and the clans look at the Forbidden City from afar.

In June of the tenth year of Yongzheng, hundreds of thousands of people in Beijing were all condensed together, pressed by a heavy haze. And the direction they are looking at, the emperor who came to power by coldness, ruthlessness and iron-blooded wrists, the figure is gradually blurring, and the halo is gradually fading, just like Kangxi ten years ago.
