The Yamen of Zuojiang Province in Nanning City has now been transformed into a temporary governor of Guangxi, and the minister of the Imperial Mission, who was the former governor and current governor Xiao Yongzao, has been magnificently transformed into a cabinet scholar and chamberlain of the Ministry of Rites of Guangxi, Tao Dai, who is pulling Wang Guotai, the envoy of Guangxi, Gao Guoliang of Zuojiang Province, Xin Gui, the prefect of Nanning, Wang Guoxing, the chief soldier of Zuojiang Town, and Lin Wanxi, the chief soldier of Qujing Town, who led the green battalion of central Yunnan to reinforce Guangxi, to discuss the defense of Nanning, completely unaware that there are two hostile eyes among the people present.

Speaking of which, if it weren't for the birth of Tao Dai, whose old surname was Guerjia, and in the case of the former Guangxi political envoy Dan Dali who died in Guilin City, Wang Guotai would have been very hopeful to take over the position of Guangxi governor in wartime as an envoy, but now it is good, not only does the governor have no hope, but even the vacant position of the political envoy may not be his turn, so he can't help but be dissatisfied.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that the East Road Hai Rebellion has occupied Xiangzhou, Laibin and other counties in Xunzhou Mansion and Liuzhou Prefecture, although its momentum is mainly going to the Liuzhou Mansion City, but it cannot but prevent it from moving westward." The ignorant Tao Dai was still talking. "Although the number of soldiers and horses on the South Road is small, it penetrates deep into the territory of Nanning Prefecture and poses a greater threat."

Tao Dai's meaning is very clear, he doesn't want to stick to Nanning and wait for the Zheng army to clean up one by one, he wants to take the initiative to attack, the target is one of the two enemies in the southeast, but Wang Guotai deliberately contradicts this: "Lord Futai, but the lower officials think that the key to Guangxi now lies in Liuzhou, if there is any mistake in Liuzhou, Guangxi will be finished, so the top priority is not to defeat the enemy on both sides, but to quickly reinforce Liuzhou under the premise of holding Nanning Prefecture." ”

"There are heavy enemy troops in Liuzhou, and the county seat of Laibin has been occupied by the sea rebellion, so it is better to reinforce Liuzhou than to only attack Xunzhou directly." Tao Dai seems to have made up his mind, too, Liuzhou has lifted the siege, although the credit is indispensable to the governor who presided over his affairs, but in the final analysis, the greatest credit should belong to the governor, but the capture of Xunzhou Mansion is different, this credit is only reserved by the governor. "However, before attacking Xunzhou, we must first clear the enemy on the Qinzhou side."

Wang Guotai was so angry that he trembled, and said in his heart, you have made up your mind, and you have to ask us what we are doing, so he stopped talking as soon as he was angry, but he didn't say anything, and Gao Guoliang, who was sitting down, recounted in an lifeless tone: "Lord Futai, whether it is to attack the enemy of Qinzhou, or to recover Xunzhou Mansion, the lower officials have no other opinion, but there are many traitors in the four mansions of Zuojiang who take the opportunity to make trouble, if you don't know what to do in addition to these hidden dangers, I am afraid that after the army goes east, the shape will worsen." ”

Zuojiang Province governs Sicheng (Tianlin), Nanning, Taiping (Chongzuo), Zhen'an (Debao) four prefectures, in addition to Nanning, how many wild places, Miao, Yao and other ethnic minorities have always been dissatisfied with the Han and Manchu official mansions, and now Guangxi is fighting again, and the local officials and Tusi of these ethnic minorities are also quite ready to move, so the Taoist masters have this to say.

In this regard, Tao Dai smiled faintly: "It's just some moss mustard, and when the sea is smoothed, the army will return to the division in one drum." ”

It stands to reason that Xin Gui and Tao Dai are both Manchurians, and their interests should be convergent, but Xin Gui is the prefect of Nanning, and his interests are no longer in Guangxi but on three acres of land in Nanning, so he said to Tao Dai with a sad face: "Although the strategy of Fuyuan is good, but the New Year is coming in a blink of an eye, this military ration"

"The military is about to prosper, and this military ration is the first priority," Tao Dai did not give Xin Gui any face. "Governor Xin, no matter what you do, after the Lantern Festival, the official will see 50,000 stone of military rations, otherwise," Tao Dai swept the four-grade top on Xin Gui's head. "Don't blame the official for not remembering your years of hard work."

Xin Gui was dumbfounded, but Wang Guoxing, the chief soldier of Zuojiang Town, hugged his fist at Tao Dai: "Lord Futai, the lower officials have something to say." ”

Under the permission of Tao Dai, Wang Xing told the story, it turned out that Guangxi had a mention of three towns, but after many times to aid Guangdong and attack Zhaoqing failed, the strength of the green battalion in Gui Province has dropped to a terrifying Cheng dù, which is why Wuzhou, Pingle, Guilin and other places quickly lost the reason, although Xiao Yongzao later rebuilt Liuqing Town and ordered Zuojiang Town to reinvigorate, but the combat power of the Green Banner soldiers in Gui Province did not recover much, so the kingdom Xingbu can defend the city, but the field battle is not.

"Therefore, the lower official implores Lord Futai that this battle is dominated by soldiers and horses in Lin Town, and the lower official headquarters should stay in the town."

Lin Wanxi burst as soon as he heard the green tendons on his head, how could there be foreign reinforcements of the guest army out of the city to fight, but the local defenders were lying high in the city, and he was not cannon fodder, so he was dissatisfied and immediately said to Tao Dai: "Lord Tao, the lower official department has come to help for thousands of miles, and there are many injuries along the way, I am afraid that it will be difficult to take on the great task of defeating the enemy, if there is still a green battalion in Gui Province to send troops first, and the lower official department will temporarily stay in Nanning Fucheng"

Looking at the two of them playing the ball of the green battalion generals, Tao Dai was so angry that his nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes, but Lin Wanxi's department was a guest army, and he had no command power, so the anger of a belly could only be vented on Wang Guoxing's head, but at this time, it was not as good as the era when a county magistrate could scold the chief soldier and deputy general in the future.

After thinking about it, Tao Dai had no choice but to order Wang Guoxing first: "Wang Zhentai, this official thinks that the key to whether the soldiers can fight is not the length of the training time, or let them get bloody, now the country is in danger, it is the time for the warriors to use their lives, there is no need to push back, so let's do it, after the Shangyuan Festival, I will give you five days to rectify the time, and then you must send three thousand elites to go to the battle. ”

Wang Guoxing slandered, but even if he understood that the other party wanted to dye his red top with the blood of the soldiers, what could he do, the so-called official level crushed people to death, especially when the soldiers were in flames, if he dared to say a word in public, Tao Dai would immediately order him to be killed, so Wang Guoxing had no choice but to stand up and promise.

Lin Wanxi, who was on the side, didn't have time to show a successful smile, and Tao Dai's words came to him: "Lin Zongrong, this official also knows the difficulties of the brothers in central Yunnan, but the war is urgent, and the green battalion in Gui Province has recently been organized and trained without war, so it cannot be the main force, and I also ask Zongrong to put state affairs first and persuade the brothers to use their lives." ”

Lin Wanxi's face showed embarrassment, and at this time, Tao Daili tempted: "In this way, this official will first allocate a reward of 5,000 taels for the New Year's Festival, if he can repel the two sea rebellions and recover the Xunzhou capital, in addition to reporting to the imperial court according to the facts, this official will raise a reward of 15,000 taels of silver to comfort the brothers of the Dian army, I don't know what Lord Lin thinks." ”

Lin Wanxi hadn't replied yet, but Wang Guotai jumped up: "Lord Futai, Guangxi has always been a recipient province, and the original treasury was extremely difficult, so where did he get the 20,000 taels of silver at this moment." ”

Gao Guoliang was also nervous, in his opinion, Tao Dai's idea must have hit Zuo Jiangdao's head, so he hurriedly spread his hands and said: "Lord Fuyuan, all the expenses of Zuojiang Dao are allocated by the province, and now at the end of the year, it has long been used up." ”

Xin Gui also screamed: "Lord Tao, Nanning has already levied two additional field taxes this year, and has mobilized the gentry in the mansion to serve 20,000 taels of silver, and now they have to raise 50,000 stone of military rations, really, there is really no spare money to pay this reward silver." ”

"What's the panic, it's not that you want to take out the money." Tao Dai looked at this group of panicked officials with disdain, he didn't know how much he had caught on weekdays, but now he was crying poor, which was really ridiculous. "Haven't you seen the constitution of the household department lately? The order goes down, as long as 15,000 taels, the official can protect him as the fourth grade, and when Xunzhou is recovered, he will immediately fill the vacancy, and as for the actual shortage of the county, it will only be 4,000 taels of silver. "Tao Dai is equivalent to pre-selling all the official positions in Xunzhou Mansion, but he didn't think about what the result would be if the war was unfavorable and people couldn't return to their capital." Isn't that enough money? ”

Wang Guotai and the following people looked at each other, but at this time, Wang Guoxing came out of the moth: "Lord Futai, this bowl of water must be level, if the brothers below know that the green camp in Yunnan Province can take so much silver, but they don't get anything, then it will be a mess." ”

"As long as the donation is completed and there is a lot of silver, it is not impossible for this official to give the brothers in Zuojiang Town a fat year." Having said that, in fact, it is now almost closed, and it is impossible to handle such a major event in a short period of time, so Tao Dai's promises belong to the category of painting cakes to satisfy hunger. "But." Painting cakes to fill hunger is to paint cakes to fill hunger, but with this cause, Tao Dai shows a full grasp of everything, which is probably the so-called money and courage. "If the soldiers who go out after the year don't succeed, then don't blame the official for being unpredictable."

Several participants left the Yamen of Zuojiang Province with joy or worry, but Xin Gui, the prefect of Nanning, did not make it, only to see Tao Dai circling around him a few times, with a smirk on his face, but the prefect frequently beat the drum in his heart before he spoke: "Brother Lanquan, this official first came to Gui Province, and he had no opinion on the officials in the province, but at today's meeting, he was very disappointed, but think about it, we still have to take care of the country by ourselves." ”

Tao Dai's statement is the ruling policy of the Qing court during this period, that is, the so-called use of traitors and prevention of traitors, but Xin Gui knew that this was just the beginning, and sure enough, he listened to Tao Dai continue: "If the board is swinging today, the sea is sitting in a big country, and the dynasty is in a very difficult situation, and you and I are asking you and me to come forward." ”

Speaking of this, Tao Dai threw out a bait: "This official is going to sponsor Brother Lanquan as Zuojiang Dao, I don't know what Brother Lanquan wants." ”

Zuojiangdao? Is this pie in the sky? But Xin Gui, who has been in the sea for a long time, understands that there is no free lunch in the world, so he patiently waits for Tao Dai's unfinished words: "It's just"

The turning point finally came: "It's just that the donation thing can't be done for a while, and the reward before and after the year has not yet been settled, and Brother Lanquan has to help him." ”

Pouring money into help, this is to Xin Gui to move his private wealth, in this regard, Xin Gui has the heart not to agree, but the heavy pressure of 50,000 stone military food hangs above his head like the sword of Damocles, and Tao Dai will grab the pigtail anytime and anywhere, after thinking about it, Xin Gui sighed: "Since Futai said so, the lower officials can't be uninteresting, but Zuojiang Road is just that, the lower officials only ask Futai to be gracious, and sponsor the lower officials to leave Guangxi, if they don't return to the north, Yungui and Sichuan can also be." ”

Tao Dai showed a smile on his face: "Then it's a word"
