Chapter 126: Zeng Guofan's Complaint
Peng Shouxi, a native of Wanzai County, he is a lifter, since he can be admitted to the lifter, the family background will slowly turn from poor to rich, during which he used all kinds of ruthless means to exploit the villagers tenants, but the good times did not last long, the Han army invaded Jiangxi, and everywhere he was hunting and killing people who were rich and unkind, a year ago, Ji'an Mansion fell, and Peng Shouxi recruited 1000 villagers with his own silver.
Liu Tai, the county magistrate of Wanzai County, pointed to Peng Shouxi's official document urging grain, and the anger that had been accumulated for a long time finally broke out, and he yelled at the master: "This surnamed Peng is really a bastard, and he came to ask for food at two ends in three days!" He is the God of Wealth! How much silver can my little seven-pin sesame official scavenge in a year! It's all filled in his bottomless pit, and now not only does he not make money, but he also sticks it upside down! I'm so! I have to teach him a lesson this time! ”
His family knows about his own family affairs, and the master also thinks that Peng Shouxi has done a bit too much, and he is an official for thousands of miles just for money! This surnamed Peng is thinking about his own future, regardless of the life and death of others, as a master, he must be conscientious: "My lord, this Peng Shouxi has been praised by Zeng Shaved Head, I heard that he has recommended it to the governor, and intends to reuse it, at this time, it is not appropriate to offend the surname Peng, and Peng Shouxi is not an idle person, half a year ago, Shanggao County was captured by the rebels, and he also sent troops to recover it, and suddenly fell out, which is not good for us." ”
Liu Tai is not afraid of Peng Shouxi's hardness, although the Qing Dynasty is a barbarian and attaches great importance to military merits, but it has been established for more than 200 years, and it has long become a practice to control military affairs with literature.
"I'm just worried about shaving his head, he led the Hunan army to operate in Tongcheng and Yining Prefecture, less than a hundred miles away from us, and he also has the title of squire of the military department. How can I fight him with a small county commander. ”
The master had a plan in his mind and immediately said it: "I heard that Lord Futai and Zeng Shaved his head were not pleasant. Why don't you take Lord Futai as a backer, so why don't you be afraid of him shaving his head! ”
Liu Taizhi Dao Master had a countermeasure. Immediately smiled, and urged: "Come quickly, I've endured this group of martial artists for a long time, and now Shorthair has no momentum to attack in a big way, and it is the time to deal with Peng Shouxi." ”
The master whispered: "My lord invited Peng Shouxi to the banquet, the surname Peng must be defenseless, my lord will capture him and send him to Nanchang, frame him for some crimes, and Lord Futai will not let him go." ”
Listened to the master's strategy. Liu Tai still had some questions, frowned and asked: "In case Lord Futai lets him go in front of Zeng Guofan, won't I please both sides, and I am not a person inside and outside!" ”
The master smiled wickedly: "Hehe...... Just because Peng Shouxi is good friends with Zeng Shaved Head, Futai Lord will not let him go, Futai Lord hates to shave his head just like your adult you hate Peng Shouxi, you can shave Zeng ugly, Futai Lord will miss it! ”
Liu Tai, the magistrate of the county, stroked his palms and smiled: "Clever plan, wonderful plan, you will go and invite Peng Shouxi to come to the banquet." And he said that I had prepared the grain and grass for him to fetch them. ”
Things turned out to be as the master thought, Jiangxi Governor Chen Qimai received a local report and immediately sent someone to escort Peng Shouxi to Nanchang. tortured and beaten, and finally had a bad breath in his heart, Zeng Guofan repeatedly used the relationship between fellow villagers and friends to urge food and wages. forced himself to become an account office, and counted this and that all day long. The most hateful thing is that the reputation of endangering the place is borne by himself, and the reputation of saving the place is actually won by his country!
looked at Zeng Guofan's message asking for the promotion of Peng Shouxi. Chen Qimai shouted frantically at the tortured officer: "Fight! Hit me hard! It's also a scourge to keep a martial artist like this who endangers the place, so I'll fight to death! ”
Compared with Chen Qimai's joyful dripping, Zeng Guofan is completely different, and the sullen breath that has been accumulated for half a year erupts, he thinks that what Chen Qimai did is a public insult to himself, and he can no longer care about the relationship between his fellow villagers and friends, and he wants to rush into Nanchang with soldiers and horses to humiliate the surname Chen.
Guo Songtao looked at Zeng Guofan, whose face was flushed, stopped the order to gather soldiers and horses, and persuaded: "The marshal should be calm!" The situation in Jiangxi affects the whole body, if we leave northern Jiangxi, short-haired take advantage of the weakness, we are trapped in Nanchang but we really can't get out, this northern Jiangxi is the only way for our Hunan army to retreat, we can't lose! ”
Chen Shijie, a staff member, also felt that this kind of action could only be out of a momentary anger, and it would not help the future of the Hunan army, seeing Zeng Guofan's chest ups and downs, he was obviously stimulated, and he did not express his evil anger, and he would not give up, and he had an idea, and said to Zeng Guofan: "The adult entered Nanchang without permission and left Chen Qimai to be honest, it is better to write a seal and fold him to participate in a book and force him to leave Jiangxi, so that the emperor will definitely appoint the marshal as the governor of Jiangxi in order to stabilize the situation in Jiangxi, and then the Hunan army can not only open up the situation, but also have a bad spirit, the best of both worlds." ”
Zeng Guofan quieted down suddenly, felt that what Chen Shijie said was very reasonable, and immediately waved his hand to write a copy of the recital, and ordered someone to send it to Beijing.
Xianfeng covered his face weakly with his hands, the day before yesterday he just received the news that Hechun had died in Fujian, and today he received the bad news that Jiang Zhongyuan was martyred in Luzhou, Anhui, and he was exhausted, he didn't remember that since the long-haired and short-haired rebellion, how many Qing governors were killed in battle, or committed suicide, or were locked up and questioned to death, from Lin Zexu to Hechun, from Saishan'a to Xiang Rong, from Zhang Guoliang to Jiang Zhongyuan......
Su Shun carefully handed over a copy of the recital, and said: "Your Majesty, this is the memorabilia of Zeng Guofan in Jiangxi, do you want to take a look at it." ”
Xianfeng will not move, only one word will come from between his fingers: Read.
Su Shun took a few steps back, opened the recital, and read it aloud: The minister Zeng Guo cried blood on the book, and the minister held a group exercise to exterminate the anti-thieves as a registered servant, and everywhere he went, he was criticized, and he was almost intolerable to the whole country.
Chen Qimai fellow townsman, the same year, the same Hanlin, has always been a good friend, since he served as the governor of Jiangxi, worked together for several months, looking at his mistakes and omissions, the usual degree of the weekdays, so that the military affairs are chaotic, the matter is boiling, it is not expected by the ministers, Jiang Minqiao left a good situation is gone, the feudal officials, the relationship is not light, the minister has seen, I am afraid that Chen Qimai will mislead the country, please the emperor of the holy ruling. ”
Xianfeng heard Zeng Guofan complain a lot, just to get rid of Chen Qimai, thinking about the gains and losses.
Ruihua remembered that Prince Gong recommended Chen Qimai at the beginning, and secretly admired Su Shun's foresight, and stepped forward to admonish: "Your Majesty, Jiangxi Governor Chen Qimai is mediocre and misguided the country, it seems that he is not suitable to stay in Jiangxi, and the emperor asks the emperor to dismiss him."
