Chapter 160: Money Is Not an Issue
Li Dayu, Dai Daniu and others slashed and killed Ammale, and Gong Changyu saw from a distance that his men had succeeded, and quickly ordered the evacuation of Gongbei and returned to the station in Panyu. Gong Changyu did not report the assassination of the "Governor of Macao" Amal to Prince Fu Zheng, and continued to wait at Niulangang for the beautiful and healthy people to come to the sea of Lingdingyang to deliver the goods.
After the news of Ammale's murder spread, the people of Qinghe in Macao applauded and cheered, and everyone rushed to tell each other and cheer and celebrate. Amare's adjutant Li Ste fled back to the residence of the Franco, glad that he had picked up a life, and it was because of his escape that the Francophone planned and organized the chaos on the Macao Peninsula.
The next day, Li Site organized the Franc machine man to carry weapons, and violently broke into the local government office, asking for the head and arm of the "murderer" and Ammale.
Li St, who was slapped in the face, was unwilling, returned to the garrison again, led a team of artillery, and took advantage of the night to sneak attack the gate fort. They brutally cut off the head and an arm of a defending officer, hung it on a bamboo pole, and swaggered through the market as a sign of revenge. Subsequently, the Francophile took the opportunity to destroy the Xiangshan County Ya and kidnapped three Qing and Guoxun soldiers as hostages.
The killing of the "Governor of Macao" Amal aroused a thousand waves. As soon as he arrived on the Macao Peninsula, he immediately drove a warship to the mouth of the Pearl River, bombarded Panyu City, and threatened not to hand over the "murderer", so he would attack Panyu City and kill a chicken and dog.
Prince Fu was suspended at this time, awaiting punishment from the imperial court. He was not confused, and hurriedly wrote a meloqu, asking Emperor Xiantong to pardon Gong Changyu and others, give Gong Changyu and himself a chance to atone for their crimes, and lead troops to attack the Franco-Rang people entrenched in Macao, raze their "city" in Macao in one fell swoop, drive them out of the southern Guangdong region, and teach the Franc-Jiren a hard lesson. Ignoring the dissuasion of the governor of Nanyue, Prince Fu urged Ma to go to Beijing day and night to meet Emperor Xiantong.
Three days later, the Qinghe Guojing Division, Zichen Palace.
Emperor Xiantong put Prince Fu's recital to the copy, and was furious at the court meeting: Okay, you Prince Fu, I let you reject the enemy and the country, but you not only gave Panyu City to the Eagle Strike Li people, but also instigated his subordinates to stir up trouble in Macao, stabbed Lou Zi, and now the Eagle Strike Li and Fa Lanxi provoked our Qing and the country from the sea, and are fighting, if you add a Fran machine, let me deal with it?
At this time, Jiang Changyi of Jiangdong County, who had long wanted to put Gong Chang to death, took the opportunity to say, Your Majesty, the Governor of Macao was killed, it was actually the bold Gong Jichang who did it alone, this matter has nothing to do with Prince Fu Zheng, why not tie up Gong Jichang and send it to the Buddha Lang Machine for disposal?
Prince Jing Yixin saw that Jiang Changyi was so soft-boned, and immediately retorted Jiang Changyi, Governor Jiang, Gong Jichang is your subordinate, you didn't discipline your subordinates well. If you punish the crime, you can't escape Gong Jichang and his soldiers killed Amal with his soldiers, which is to raise the prestige of our country and warn the Francophone that the mighty cannot be bent. What is Gong Jichang's crime?
Jiang Changyi glanced at Prince Jing with his eyes, and replied angrily, Gong Jichang has long been out of control by the governor, how can he be jointly and severally responsible?
Prince Jing sneered: Jiang Changyi, you took Gong Jichang's soldiers without authorization, and he only returned to his hometown to recruit troops, and now there is a problem, you want to shirk your responsibility, fall into the well, and beat Gong Jichang to death, you are in vain as the governor of my Qinghe country!
Jiang Changyi sneered at him, Prince Jing, if you have a kind, you will beg the emperor to give you 100,000 troops, if you drive away the Eagle Strike Li and the Falanxi, I can call you "Grandpa".
Prince Jing was speechless for a while......
Emperor Xiantong, who was in his thirties, sat on the dragon chair and did not say a word, allowing the civil and military officials to quarrel for an hour without any comment. After the dispersal of the dynasty, Prince Fu was named by Andrew, the chief eunuch, to be left alone.
"Uncle Huang, I only ask you one thing, will Gong Jichang, the general of the capital, stay or kill?" Emperor Xiantong was gloomy.
"Your Majesty, do you want to hear the truth, or do you want to hear lies?" Prince Fu Zhen knelt on the ground, straightened his head, and said unhurriedly.
"Tell you the truth." Xiantong signaled left and right to retreat.
"The old minister thinks that Gong Jichang's killing of Amal Le is due to my Qinghe country, inspiring the morale of our army, and it is not suitable to kill, and he will conquer Shicheng in the coming day, this person is worthy of a great task."
"Why did Uncle Huang say this?"
Although Gong Jichang is reckless and reckless, his courage is commendable. In the first battle of Lenghu Mountain, he killed Charlemagne, the captain of the Eagle Strike Li mercenary, and slapped the Eagle Strike Li royal family in a resounding slap. In the first battle of Panyu City, more than 100 Eagles Attack Li Shui Division Marine Corps were killed, and Panyu City was recovered, and its combat ability and adaptability should not be underestimated......"
"Uncle Huang, didn't you personally command the recapture of Panyu City?"
"Your Majesty, the old minister just sent a letter asking for help, and the main credit is Gong Jichang's."
"Oh. When you finally told the truth, I wondered, Uncle Huang let the eagle attack Li Shui Shi entered Panyu, and he didn't have the courage to go back on his word. ”
"What the emperor said is extremely true. The old minister was confused and promised to compensate the Eagle Strike Li people 6 million yuan, and they withdrew from the north of Lingdingyang. ”
"Money is not a problem, the Eagle Strike Li people are now truce and retreat, you insist on not ceding the land, and you still have a merit to my Qinghe country. What you mean is also what I mean, you have carried the black cauldron for me, and so are the loyal ministers. "Emperor Xiantong raised his arm,
"Get up and speak."
"The emperor is wise, thank you Lord Longen." Prince Fu patted both sides and stood up.
"Gong Jichang instigated the assassination of the 'Governor of Macao', can he personally participate in the assassination?" Emperor Xiantong asked.
"He was the orchestrator and was not directly involved." Prince Fu truthfully recounted the "decapitation operation".
"Then why didn't he take the lieutenant of the Francophone and let him escape?" Emperor Xiantong lifted the Zhu pen.
"That's what happens when you don't get rid of the roots." Prince Fu replied, "Gong Jichang, this kid doesn't know what to think, if I command on the spot, I will definitely kill Li Site together." In this way, we can casually make up a reason why Heaven and Earth will vendetta against Amal and prevaricate the past. ”
"Uncle Huang, you are an afterthought, you have a hairy use!
In order to calm the turmoil and avoid encountering the Francophile again, we should take a step back and open the sky. Emperor Xiantong sighed and said, "When will my country sing and dance?" ”
"Your Majesty, we might as well run over directly from Gongbei Port, there are only more than a hundred defenders in the Franc machine, why should we compromise?" Prince Fu persuaded him.
"Needless to say, I've made up my mind. Spread the Hanlin, and immediately draft the purpose. Emperor Xiantong shouted.
So, Emperor Xiantong dictated, Hanlin officials wrote, and soon the holy decree was written, the content was roughly to arrest Li Dayu, Gong Shengdi and others, and Prince Fu personally supervised Yunyun.
With the holy decree, Prince Fu returned to Panyu City in the dust, and discussed with Yiying, the governor of Nanyue, for a long time, and there was no better way, so he had to hurry to the area of Niulangang with 2,000 Qinghe troops and surrounded the members of Gong Changyu's "Water Leopard Team".
As soon as he entered the camp gate, Gong Chang met Governor Yiying and Prince Fu Zheng's faces were very serious, and he knew that he had caused a big disaster.
Gong Changyu welcomed Prince Fu and Yiying into the camp, and asked his subordinates to retreat, before saying: "Lord Wang, Lord Governor, is my Gong Changyu going to fall to the ground?" ”
"General Gong, you're too worried. As long as the old man is here, your life is not in danger. Prince Fu sat down.
"Thank you, Lord Wang." Gong Changyu hugged his fist.
"The king will not read the decree, and you will not understand it if you read it. This time the king recognized Jiang Changyi's ugly face, he kept saying that he wanted to put you to death at the court meeting, and without a sense of the overall situation, this person would not end well in the future. "Prince Fu put the decree aside.
"Lord Wang, what does the holy decree say?" Gong Changyu asked.
"The emperor has long been frightened by the arrogance of the Francophone man, and asked the old man to investigate the case of Ammale. Hey, why is the Fei Luo family not as good as the next generation, except for asking for peace and land compensation, they don't dare to fight to the end, and the bloody nature is to hell with it. If this king is more than ten years younger, he will directly depose the emperor......" Prince Fu stroked his beard.
"Lord Wang, if this word spreads, you will be beheaded." Governor Yiying dissuaded.
"The old man really regrets that when he was the commander of the Nine Gates, he was not ruthless enough, or he wouldn't have been rotten like this. In the past ten years, because of internal strife, there have been external troubles. Prince Fu continued, "This king is on the verge of decay, and in a hundred years, the Qinghe Kingdom will inevitably be even poorer and weaker, and will be carved up by the great powers. It's a pity I can't see it. ”
"One person does things, one person is responsible. My men assassinated Amal on my orders. If you want to punish sin, you will cure me. Gong Changyu knelt on one knee.
"General Gong, you are still young, and there are still many things waiting for you to accomplish. The mastermind of the assassination is to be borne by the king, and the king can't protect the soldiers who participated in the assassination. Prince Fu Gong picked up Gong Changyu with both hands.
"It's impossible for me to hand over Li Dayu and Gong Sheng to the Francophiles." Gong Changyu insisted on not giving in.
"General Gong, if you don't hand over people, you will have to die, and all the water leopard team members will have to die. There is nothing to be done about it. Fu Qiqin sighed......
After Prince Fu left, Gong Changyu, who was furious, gathered all the soldiers and prepared to set off from Gongbei Port to attack the fort of the Buddha Machine, and the war was about to break out.
In order not to injure others and to prevent the government from indiscriminately killing innocent people, Li Dayu resolutely decided to go to the government in Macao to turn himself in. Gong Shengdi dissuaded him and said: "You have an old mother and have not yet started a family, so let me take the blame." ”
Li Dayu resolutely disagreed with Gong Sheng's question to blame himself, and the two could not argue, so they had to carry Amal's head and severed arm, and went to Macao to surrender to the prefect's office.
