Chapter 488: Pleading
The guards tore off their coats and knelt in front of them, and the two guards accompanying them explained before raising their sticks: "Before the ministers return to Beijing, Chitose has already given instructions, unless the holy will is issued, if it is hindered and delayed for no reason, and there is no Gu family's grandfather to be punished on his behalf, Lord Huang should receive the twenty board ...... first."
Yongrong also had no way: "Ronghou, look ......"
"It doesn't have to be like this!" Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) felt like a mirror in his heart, this was obviously coming at himself, "I will receive twenty rods, and Lord Huang will follow King Zongjun into the palace to ask for instructions." β
"This ......," the guard said with a smile, "How dare the lower officials!"
Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) asked rhetorically while undressing: "Did our Princess Chaoyun say that Gu Changbai was not allowed to take the board on his behalf?"
"Not really. The guard was very embarrassed, "I heard that the elder of the mansion has a grandson and a son, and there is a patriarch in the Zhenguo Mansion, and the grandfather is noble, so I really don't dare to offend!"
The second room is in turmoil, Lu Ying's mother and son are watching from the wall, Gu Buyi is the mastermind, although Qin Siyue (Long Xi) can't know very well, he can't miss the calculation of the inner house. Wei Hate actually dragged Gu Kui into the water and asked her to do hurting knives and guns, so she simply didn't do it twice, and found an excuse for them to suffer with Bufan.
"Ronghou, look at ......" Qin Siyue (Long Xi)'s original words were: If Gu Zheng's father and son are punished by their grandchildren, they can be beaten twenty in the same way, replaced by others, and add ten boards to each other to see if they are still nosy. The guards knew that they were powerful, and they didn't dare to act rashly, "The grandfather is ranked among the top ministers, how can he be punished lightly, not to mention that Chitose is not in the capital division, and the prince and the little prince still have to rely on the grandfather to take care of it, if the board is added to the grandfather......"
Qin Siyue (Long Xi)'s meaning is obvious: it's not that I am reluctant to beat you, I have to work hard for my aunt's children to serve the sick if I beat you, it is not a good deal.
Gu Lian hurriedly said, "I'll come." β
The final result was that all the Gu family brothers failed to run, from Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) Gu Lian to Gu Bu Chen, a total of twenty-five boards were beaten in turn, and Yongrong was in a daze, and even the first task of reporting to his eldest brother was forgotten.
Or Gu Yin was the first to react and remind his son-in-law: "The prince is passing the house at this hour, could it be that the princess has reached the delivery period?"
The princess gave birth, and her mother's family had to be graced to enter the house to accompany her, although Mei Jun lived in the inner court, Queen Shi had already promised that when she gave birth, Mrs. Zhang would be allowed to enter the palace to see, Gu Yin asked.
Yongrong looked at this kind of battle, and became more and more aware that his aunt and cousin were not easy to provoke, so he simply pointed to Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) as an excuse for adding rod sores, and asked only that there was a military department to ask for advice from his uncle, and he led the guards of the princess's mansion to go back to the palace to ask for holy will.
Yongrong recounted what he had seen and heard at his uncle's father-in-law's house today, and said the idea of asking for a decree to replace the punishment, and the emperor was quite helpless: "Don't kill people too much, look at the prince's face." β
Xia Shouzhong went outside the hall to find the guards to convey the message, Yongdong thought for a while and advised the imperial father: "According to what the retainer sees, let's not get involved in the housework of the Shenlong General's Mansion, and the retainer is sure that my sister will not be out of style...... After all, it is for the sake of the lord of the castle. β
King Huaijun's heart is: The only possibility for Princess Chaoyun to be dealt with is that she rebelled, which is less likely than a negative number, in this case, why should they do their thankless work to be wicked.
The emperor thought about it a lot, and wrote an edict to the princess's palace guards to bring it back to Yangzhou, with only one core meaning: "Take care of reputation." β
Although it is a recognized fact that the two governments are lascivious, Gu Lao Taijun and even Mrs. Zhang did not believe that he dared to act nonsense, and mentioned Chu Rui for careful interrogation, and he could ask some clues, and summoned the imperial doctor to identify the perfume to no avail, and the red beans of the earrings had entered the belly of Bufan, and it became a public case with no evidence. Mrs. Zhang was afraid that the Huang family would cause trouble to Gu Kui, so she rewarded Sister-in-law Liu to bring back her daughter, and asked Sister Qing not to mention the by-election of the eldest grandson from the beginning.
Qian Guang took the opportunity to stir up the wind, Qian Hua and his wife should not have allowed it, one doting on the only son is difficult to disobey; second, borrowing the master to feel guilty in Chu Rui, and he can plan cheaper in the future; and knowing that Chu Rui has not been polluted, he simply prepared four salutes and filial piety to beg Sister Qing to be a matchmaker, how could Sister Qing not allow it, and pushed the boat down the river to find Liu's sister-in-law to confide in Baoshan, the husband and wife of the Liu family were uneasy, where to care about what their daughter thought, and they were very grateful to Sister Shangqing. Qian Guang long-cherished wish to taste, and after marrying the bride and entering the door, there are unlimited means to punish Chu Rui's arrogance earlier, and there is another public case later, and it can be postponed to renew the form.
On the twentieth day of the first month, Mei Jun gave birth to the eldest daughter of the prince of Zongjun; Gu Yin and his wife can really wake up laughing when they are dreaming.
However, it was said that Jin Yan Jin Yu was ordered to go south to handle the affairs of banning tobacco and land in Guangzhou, but the British and French foreign merchants stubbornly refused to comply, so they seized all the businesses of the two countries by holy order, and the English merchant general in the East India asked for help on the one hand, and on the other hand, he bribed him heavily, and followed the military attendant Gu Hua to facilitate his personal convenience, and almost indulged the foreign merchants involved in the case to escape, Jin Yu personally led the sailors to bombard the merchant ships, and put the British and French merchants who fell into the soup duck out of the waterγ The forbidden drugs handed over to Qin Cha Xingyuan on the surface were not as good as Yicheng who was secretly resold.
Jin Yan was a veritable pioneer in the anti-smoking eradication, and despite the local governor's admonition, he burned all the tobacco and soil worth nearly one million taels with one fire, and everyone in the two provinces was solemn.
The British East India Company's sailors made a detour from Java to Longxiang without a note and approached the Daqing Territory, while Zheng Kezang, the governor of Fujian and Taiwan, inspected the coastal defense and led the Fujian Navy to raid the British bandits in Penghu, firing the first shot of the Qinghai-British April War.
The sun never sets, so the country dominates the three oceans, and the ship's strength and artillery are the least capital, and the East India Company quickly counterattacked in the case of the defeat of the forward, determined to succeed in the first battle.
Zheng Kezhang turned from offensive to defensive, the British bandits and the Nanyang Navy Division fought in Guangzhou Bay, and the Daqing bandit ships guarded the South China Sea gate to attack and harass the reinforcements, and the two sides fought equally.
England's intelligence work was doing well, and it was learned that the merchant empress of the Daqing Dynasty and the No. 3 military figure was living in Yangzhou, and soon adjusted its strategy to advance northward, and the ports along the Yangtze River were deeply disturbed, and the governors, admirals, commanders, adjutant generals, and staff generals of the Liangjiang were all afraid that foreign soldiers and foreign soldiers would land and plunder on their land.
The problem is that Princess Chaoyun, who is regarded as a target, has no intention of returning to Beijing at all, He Junrui came to Yangzhou to admonish Tong Lun, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) and his party watched the play and said with a smile: "I am here, first, the people can be at ease, and second, if the foreigners become troubled, your guilt will be smaller." β
He Junrui did not change his original intention on his face, but he thought it was true in his heart, and it was not as urgent to persuade him as before.
Judging from the progress of the military situation later, it is wise to keep Princess Chaoyun. There must be a mistake in the hundred secrets, the Qingting military is a little careless, the news that the British sea ship spared the shelling of Songjiang Mansion by the Liangjiang Navy Division quickly spread to Yangzhou, and the public opinion was in an uproar, if it wasn't for the fact that Princess Chaoyun lived in the city back then, now the displaced people must surge.
Qin Siyue (Long Xi) also lost the mind to watch the play, pinched the military newspaper and scolded: "The sailors are all paid empty salaries? The British warships have all arrived at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and the two river sailors are still delusional about going south to Fujian to attack the enemy...... The world's ridiculous. β
"Now the situation is urgent, once the British bandits land, I am afraid that the soldiers and horses of the local green battalion will not be able to resist the guns of the foreigners, so let's avoid it. "Qin Zhen is an enlightened faction among the nobles of the Great Qing Dynasty, and he will not think that he is "awe-inspiring and difficult to commit" like that corrupt Confucian, and because he knows the careful thinking of Liangjiang Wenwu, he simply persuaded his sister to be a gentleman of current affairs.
"When Jiangnan, grandpa set up an empty city plan to fight against the water, scared 30,000 rebels and fled, we have soldiers and generals, and we are afraid of those tall and big-haired blue-eyed thieves?" Qin Siyue (Long Xi) has her own difficulties: it is not difficult to abandon the city and escape, and the prominent reputation of Princess Chaoyun will be ruined, she is a parent, of course, she must take into account her status and image in the eyes of her children.
Fortunately, Yangzhou City has two red-clothed cannons added when Jiangnan was added, Qin Zhen still has some confidence, plus Qin Siyue (Long Xi) with a guard and two schools of the main force of the green army, as long as the strong bow and crossbow are widely distributed, the attack is not enough to defend there must be more than enough, and the British bandits really dare to go deep alone, and they may not be able to bargain.
"I heard that more than a dozen Japanese soldiers can face thousands of officers and soldiers after looting and burning hundreds of households, I want to see how the combat power of the Daqing officers and soldiers trained by Admiral Shenlong is. Knowing that the British bandits had attacked Chongzhou, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) couldn't help but buckle her husband's hat indiscriminately, "I'm here, there is really a moment when you expect me to keep the festival, and I deserve to dye the top of his head green!"
Qin Zhen ignored the last three sentences, and took advantage of the previous set of comparative arguments to stimulate the subordinates, and everyone in the two schools of Weiwei was indignant, vowing to take a look at Princess Chaoyun, who was too high in the eyes of the Qingjun Sect.
This lone army of Western thieves who went deep in the country failed to touch the edge of Yangzhou City.
From the moment the marines landed, the British bandits of the East India Company immediately fell into a leaderless state.
Qin Zhen glanced at the head on the ground, and asked the strong man in front of him suspiciously: "What did you do?"
"Yes!" the strong man bowed his hand, "A certain family should have asked Princess Chaoyun to drive forward, this time only the enemy chieftain showed a little sincerity, and asked the adults to be clear." β
"Please?" Qin Zhen became more and more curious, "Let's hear it." β
The strong man pondered for a moment and then lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "Do you remember the fire in Princess Chaoyun's Mansion on Lingyuan Street......
The emperor's father and son would not put the Daqing Female Prince in danger, not to mention that the important town of Liangjiang could not afford to lose. Gu Changbai (Mo Kun) personally commanded the Xiao Cavalry Battalion and the Shenji Battalion to aid Yangzhou, killing most of the 800 forwards that landed, and at the same time, the North Sea Division led by Nan'an Botu Ji Yang went south, intercepted the East Indian warships in Taipingzhou, closed the door and beat the dogs, and the British army was wrapped in dumplings, and the high-spirited soldiers had no choice but to turn into prisoners, Qin Siyue (Long Xi) was not polite, first selected forty purebred British from more than 1,000 captives to hang their heads in public, and the rest were ordered to send people to Beijing to report the victory.
Princess Chaoyun naturally has a self-heating physique, obviously she didn't do anything, and the people of Yangzhou pushed the credit for the extermination of the water and land bandit army to her, and there was another story in the market, but it was an allusion that Princess Chaoyun went out of the city alone, attacked the bandit army camp at night, took the head of the enemy commander surrounded by foreign guns and artillery, and retreated. It was a rumor like a fantasy, but it was spread with a nose and eyes, and the person concerned really couldn't cry or laugh, tilting his head to ask the newly added guard for advice: "You should go out to refute the rumors, and the famous reputation that you have earned so hard has taught me to take it away from this person from the outside eight roads." β
