Chapter 750: Criticism
Peng Yunzhang waited for more than two hours before he waited for the sleepy-eyed Yang Laosan, who was living a good life, and at this time, he could still sleep like this.
"Ministry, how is the battle situation at Bali Bridge? Why did the artillery stop last night? ”
Two hours of meditation is also a rare rest time for Peng Yunzhang, the tea committee in Yang Laosan's mansion is really good, but this season is not the time to enjoy!
"I just got a battle report here, one good and one bad, I don't know if Peng Zhongtang plans to hear the good news first? Or are you going to hear the bad news first? ”
After rubbing his face and drinking a cup of hot tea, Yang Meng lazily sold Guanzi.
"Alas...... When has this been? Let's listen to the bad ones first! Then listen to the good Chong Chong Xi! ”
Looking at Yang Laosan, who was a little slack, Peng Yunzhang was also extremely helpless, to be honest, Peng Yunzhang also weighed this Yang Butang, he really couldn't sleep peacefully these days, either to deal with military affairs, or to keep vigil for the emperor, and Yang Laosan was young, if he was replaced by Peng Yunzhang, he would have been lying down a long time ago.
"Bad news! The 80,000 militia regiments on the front line of Bali Bridge in the Beijing Division, and the 20,000 Jiangnan militia regiments defending at Bali Bridge, were almost wiped out! ”
Nearly 100,000 people, counting the wounded who were withdrawn before, and more than 4,000 people selected by Wei Huozi, add up to only 10,000 and 5,000, but in five days, 85,000 people were killed in the battle, counting the people and horses killed by Seng Lingqin and Su Shun in the Bali Bridge before, more than half a month of hard work, the bottomless pit of Bali Bridge, nearly 150,000 people were killed in the pit, and I don't know how many people will be killed or injured in this area in the future?
"What? Isn't there no soldiers to defend in the area of Bali Bridge? ”
This news can no longer be regarded as bad news, it can only be regarded as bad news for Peng Yunzhang, and then the Jingshi will be caught in the flames of war.
"Definitely! Isn't there good news? Last night. Yang Laozi sent people to burn dozens of British and French warships located at the Dagu mouth barrage. As a result, the Anglo-French forces withdrew to the Zhangjiawan area. Counting the recently recruited Zhilu militia group, there are still 50,000 or 60,000 militia groups on the front line of Zhangjiawan on the defense.
The ordnance in the area of Bali Bridge has been sent to Zhangjiawan, and now the back road of the British and French forces has been cut off, even if they have the grain and grass of the Jinkou Army Grain City, they will not be able to hold out for a few months.
In order to fight a protracted war, the area around the military food city. Yang Meng didn't recover, but just withdrew all the people along the way, and he couldn't let the British and French troops starve to death before the reinforcements arrived, right?
"Can the Zhilu militia stop the British and French forces?"
Hearing this, Peng Yunzhang also breathed a sigh of relief, but the most critical question is whether the newly formed militia can stop the British and French forces! It is useless to say that everything else, and not letting the flames of war spread to Jingshi is what Yang Laosan should do.
"The Zhilu militia? Peng Zhongtang said that he was laughing? They are the same as the Jingshi militia, the British and French forces do not move, they can naturally block it! If the Anglo-French alliance is overwhelmed by a large army, they will naturally not be able to stop it! ”
Yang Meng's words were a bit nonsense. If you don't move, you can't stop it, but if you move, you can't stop it. Isn't this nonsense? To put it bluntly, these 50,000 or 60,000 Zhilu militia groups are just decorations in Zhangjiawan!
"Didn't the Jingshi militia block the British and French forces at the Bali Bridge for three or four days? If you can block it at Bali Bridge, why can't you stop it when you get to Zhangjiawan? ”
How to fight Peng Yunzhang is not clear, but compared with the battle situation, he still will, Yang Laosan's statement is untenable, it can be blocked at Bali Bridge, but it can't be stopped when it reaches Zhangjiawan, what is this called?
"In the past few days, the trench warfare has been fought at Bali Bridge, so the Jingshi militia has the advantage, but if it is a field battle, 100,000 militia regiments are not enough for the British and French troops to kill in one day!
The pension money of the Jingshi People's League has not yet been settled! Two hundred taels for one person is 17 million taels! The five million tax estimates in the early stage paid ten taels per person, almost one million taels, and the remaining four million were used to purchase guns. ”
Peng Yunzhang had too many questions, Yang Meng lost his patience, stretched out his hand, and threw him a big trouble.
"Since you can fight trench warfare at Bali Bridge, why can't you fight in Zhangjiawan?
I don't have any money in my hand, so we have to discuss it! ”
Peng Yunzhang is also a veteran of officialdom, silver is a big problem, so he won't take Yang Laosan lightly!
"Gongwei Jingshi three bridges: Jingxi Lugou Bridge, Changping Chaozong Bridge, Tongzhou Bali Bridge!
Peng Zhongtang won't know about these three bridges, right? Zhangjiawan extends in all directions, and the trench battle besieges Zhangjiawan, which is difficult to do without more than 100,000 people, and the 50,000 or 60,000 militia groups cannot stop the British and French forces at all!
As for the silver, the people who participated in the militia in Beijing were for the silver, and without the silver, the distribution of food would be successful! You can't let their orphans starve to death, can you? ”
In the realm of Bali Bridge, Monk Greenqin chose a good one, but it's a pity that the tactics are wrong, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed at home and thought about it behind closed doors. Two hundred taels of silver, no matter how Yang Meng will fight for the people of the people's league, taking money to buy lives is also a business, integrity first, otherwise what if you have a bad reputation?
The militia of the Beijing Division, although it was recruited in the name of the imperial court, they still followed him Yang Laosan to fight, and after he was alive, he would say that this dead person wanted to give the family a pension!
"Oh...... The old man doesn't know much about the things in the war, but there is really no silver, or do you want to issue treasure money? ”
Treasure banknotes, issued by the imperial court in order to cope with the silver shortage, to put it bluntly, it is just printed paper money, the silver is on paper, take it out to spend, ten families and nine do not recognize it, the only one who recognizes it is the imperial court.
"Treasure money? Peng Zhongtang said this, you are not sorry? Is your money a treasure?
This is paper money, people are dead, you go to send paper money, do you think this is for the dead to follow? Two hundred taels for a family, genuine snowflake silver, this is beyond doubt!
During this time, there is no money to slow down, so that the people in the household department can deliver food door-to-door according to the roster!
The food of the household department, in addition to supplying the imperial city, is mainly the orphans of the families of the militia, and the rest of the people die or do not eat food, Yang Laozi does not care, there is only one Beijing division today, which one contributes to the Gongwei Beijing division, which one has food to eat, and the rest. Wait......"
The war is already over on Yang Meng's side. The next step is to control the emperor. The next battle may be easy, or it may not be easy, but it is certain to offend some princes and ministers, and Yang Meng has no burden on this.
"I'm afraid that's inappropriate, isn't it? After all, many officials in Beijing are not wealthy at home! ”
Poor Beijing officials are poor Beijing officials, although the quality system of Beijing officials is higher than that of the localities. But a non-existent classic history of the place is probably more nourishing than the life of the Beijing officials!
"This is easy to do, the recent Yulu will be distributed on a monthly basis, and the food will be distributed! Peng Zhongtang should worry about the silver! After all, the pension of 17 million is not a small number, so let's press the official offices in various places! ”
"I'm afraid that it will cause trouble and cause criticism!"
Yang Laosan stretched out his hand to ask for money, and Peng Yunzhang was also forced to have no choice, so he could only tell the truth.
"Criticism is criticism, if Lao Tzu is afraid of this, he will not enter Beijing, let's talk to the emperor!"
When he arrived at the Heart Cultivation Palace, the four-colored stick was a little in good spirits. It seems that I was tired of playing yesterday, so I listened to it roughly. The four-color stick is also in the mood, as long as the Jingshi is still stable, and there is nothing to do with him as the emperor, it is better to rest early.
When the matter arrives at the military aircraft, Yang Meng will be able to intervene, as for the four-color stick, his physique will not survive for three or five days, let him rest first, and just give Su Shun some time to raise women, and together with Peng Yunzhang, he urged the imperial doctor to get a few doses of tonic decoction for the four-color stick, and in the next period of time, Yang Meng will accompany the military aircraft to fight the place.
Came to the military aircraft with Peng Yunzhang, the military planes and Zhang Jing walked, but Yang Meng's eyes were a little abnormal, Yang Meng didn't pay attention to this, and found a place to sit and dozed off.
Peng Yunzhang has seen a lot of excerpts here, including the Mongolian prince, the governor of the three eastern provinces, and the Rehe capital, all of whom are Manchurian ministers, which also means that he wants to enter the king of Jingqin!
"Ministry, these ......"
Peng Yunzhang did not hesitate, after reading it, he directly gave these excerpts to Yang Meng, Yang Meng didn't look at them, found a Zhang Jing and asked him to read them at the military plane, in addition to entering the king of Beijing Qin, it was to criticize him Yang Meng, such an excerpt is just the beginning!
"This matter is not under my jurisdiction, take it and ask the saint, the saint is approved, let's use the seal, the saint is not allowed, let's stay in the middle and not send it, after all, this is also their painstaking work, we can't caress their kindness!"
Yang Laosan's way of doing things is vicious in Peng Yunzhang's opinion, this is to help the emperor try people's hearts! If you don't open your eyes, the king of the army who leads the army and the king of the big lama, what kind of bullshit prince, it is a capital crime!
"This ......"
This work is too insidious, Peng Yunzhang, Mu Yin, and Bai Ye all showed embarrassment on their faces, but without Yang Laosan's seal, these folds can't be approved, and there is no news about the right road, I'm afraid that some people can't hold it back!
"The Jingshi is unstable, we can't mess with ourselves, what to do is bad, what is the worst thing in the Jingshi is silver, give priority to this matter!"
Although Yang Meng is walking, but the power of the palm print is in his hands, this military plane is what he has the final say, with this, everyone below can only hold their breath and get busy.
These excerpts of the invitation to King Qin, the four-color stick will naturally not answer, what he is guarding against now is the Manmeng ministers, King Qin, which king do these people want to be Qin? Prince Gong or Prince Korqin?
"Ignore it!"
The statement of the four-color stick coincides with Yang Meng, and now when the people's hearts can be formally tested, the news of the Beijing division is not clear, just look at how many people want to Qin Wang in this place, Yang Sange said, the Beijing division is unharmed, then the Beijing division is unharmed, the thousands of artillery pieces of the British and French coalition forces are dumb fire, what is more convincing than the pure Beijing division?
During this period, Yang Meng found a painter to trace the appearance of the four-color stick, and it is also necessary to prepare for this stand-in, once the four-color stick is hung, the court situation will change, and many people will have some different thoughts, Yang Meng now wants to ensure that the four-color stick is alive and alive until the day he usurped it.
During this period, there were more and more excerpts criticizing Yang Meng in various places, garrison generals in various places, some senior officials in the northwest, and full officials in the three eastern provinces.
Some of the men and horses of the Criminal Department, the Household Department, and the Military Department who went to the provinces to collect the arrears were driven back, and some found nothing, and the northwestern provinces were the most outrageous, and there were two ways of collecting the arrears missing, and there was no reply from there.
For these, the four-color stick is accustomed to the struggle, the struggle between the local and the central government, where is it, it is in these places, the central government wants to let the local government pay more, but the local government is doing everything possible to think of less money, or not to pay, it is best to hang the central government upside down, involving the dispute between the central and local governments, and it is not uncommon for anything to happen.
Yang Meng has also ignored those who criticize himself and those who are vainly trying to confront the imperial court these days, he only occasionally takes a pencil to write something in a booklet, as for what he remembers, only Yang Meng and the shadow are clear, and others can't see what Yang Meng has written in the booklet he has with him.
If the court doesn't react, some people become more and more arrogant, confronting the court in tandem, or connecting with King Qin, that is also to be expected, the law does not blame the public!
However, it is not known whether the law does not blame the people, and we will see when the time comes. (To be continued......)
