Chapter 518: Black Flag Yang Meets Spring
Fuzhou.
The governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, the governor of Fujian, and the general of Fuzhou stationed in the Eight Banners are the military and political core of Fujian and Zhejiang provinces.
Three months ago, Taiwan's prefect Sun Jingsui sent a report to the governor's yamen, saying that recently, traitors from the Zhangzhou area had crossed the sea to Changhua to form a secret society, calling them brothers and brothers, and calling them Heaven and Earth Society. In addition, the leading monk of the Association swaggered and deceived in various places in Taiwan, winning over believers, and intending to commit rebellion.
After the Taiwan prefect reported to him, Fujian Governor Yu Wenyi ordered the Taiwan prefect Sun Jingsui to supervise Yu Jun, the deputy general He Sheng'e, and the guerrilla Geng Shiwen to arrest the members of the Tiandihui, and to capture and behead the first 10,000 monks of the Tiandihui, so that they could not escape another disaster.
After receiving the reply from the governor Yamen, Sun Jingsui, the prefect of Taiwan, immediately made arrangements for a comprehensive ban on the Tiandihui in Taiwan, and ordered the green battalion troops stationed in Taiwan to go out in all directions to arrest the elements of the Tiandihui.
He Sheng, the deputy general of Taiwan's Green Battalion, was born in the Yellow Banner of Manchuria, and his greedy nature instructed his subordinates to frame big people and profit from them in the name of arresting the Heaven and Earth Society. He also let the green camp kill people everywhere and set fires, and wherever the Qing army went, they threatened to burn villages at every turn, causing panic among people in all parts of Taiwan.
Only three months have passed, and the Fuzhou side has not been able to receive a report from the Taiwan side on whether to capture the leader of the Heaven and Earth Society, Monk Wan.
Fujian governor Yu Wenyi Kangxi was born in the 26th year, Qianlong was a jinshi in the second year, and today he is 88 years old, and he is the oldest official in the Qing Dynasty.
Yu Futai has been serving in the Criminal Department in his early years, and later served as the prefect of Funing in the Autumn Trial Division, and at the age of 70, he became known in Taiwan and served as an official in Taiwan for five years, and is quite familiar with Taiwan's customs and customs.
He knew very well that although Taiwan was owned by the Qing Dynasty since the Ming and Zheng dynasties, and a government was set up to govern it, in the eyes of most court officials, Taiwan was still a foreign country and could be dispensable.
Therefore, the imperial court's governance of Taiwan for so many years has not been very effective, and the Han people in the coastal areas of Fujian have a tradition of going to sea, the so-called exit is a thief, and entry is a people, all of them are tricky and fierce, and there are many disobedience to the rule of Manchuria in the Qing Dynasty.
Since the beginning of the Republic of China, there have been more than 40 anti-Qing uprisings in Fujian alone, and almost every two years, bold people will take risks and call on the ignorant people to resist the Qing Dynasty. There are many demagogic slogans, but most of them are called for "restoring sight".
Fujian Province was able to suppress the anti-Qing activities in a timely manner due to the garrison of the governors of Fujian and Zhejiang and the generals of Fuzhou, but Taiwan is separated by a strait, so it can be said that the emperor is far away, and there are only more than 2,000 soldiers in the green battalion stationed in Taiwan, and there are as many as one million Han people gathered in Taiwan, among whom the traitors who have absconded are everywhere.
Therefore, once there are traitors gathering people in Taiwan, and the green battalion soldiers are not pressed in time, it will definitely cause great changes, and if Taiwan falls into the hands of traitors again, and the banner of restoring the Ming Dynasty is played, it will undoubtedly be another Ming Zheng.
At that time, I don't know how much grain will be consumed, how many soldiers will be consumed, and how many people will suffer.
In view of this, Yu Futai yesterday went to the Governor's Yamen to discuss with Governor Debao about the matter of administering Taiwan, and believed that the Fuzhou garrison Chai Daji could lead a battalion of 1,000 soldiers to reinforce Taiwan.
Debao has heard of this Chai Daji, this person was young with "both civil and military" famous in the township, Qianlong 28 years in the martial arts, and then has been serving in the Fujian Green Battalion, in the arrest of thieves and bandits have a very charter, is a rare member of the Fujian Green Camp Tiger General.
The Governor General also did not want Taiwan to implicate him, so he agreed with Yu Futai's opinion and planned to propose to the imperial court that Taiwan should set up a town, and Chai Daji would be the first general soldier of Taiwan Town.
In addition, a battalion of the naval division will be built in Taiwan, so that there are soldiers and horses stationed on land and water, and if there is something wrong in Taiwan, it can be quickly pacified.
At that moment, let the staff write a note according to this protocol, and order someone to deliver it to Beijing quickly.
After Yu Futai returned to the yamen, he sent a message to Chai Daji, asking him to come to the yamen tomorrow.
The next day, Chai Daji came to inspect the yamen early, and was taken to the study of Lord Futai by the porter not long after.
Yu Futai went straight to the point, informing Taiwan that there is a heaven and earth that traitors will cause trouble, and he is afraid that Taiwan's green battalion will be difficult to catch thieves because of its small number of soldiers, so he has discussed with the governor that Chai will be appointed as the chief soldier of Taiwan Town, and that 1,000 battalion soldiers will be allocated to build a town together with the green camp stationed in Taiwan.
"It will take some time for the imperial court to reply to the court, you should make some preparations, in addition to your own battalion soldiers, Fubiao will transfer you 200 people..."
Originally, the Fujian Green Battalion had one town, two battalions and three associations, and there were nearly 10,000 soldiers together with Fubiao, but two years ago, the Fujian Green Battalion transferred the main force Changfu and Luoyuan Second Battalion to Sichuan to assist the army in exterminating the Jinchuan thieves.
Therefore, the strength of the Fujian Green Battalion has been greatly reduced, and now there are only more than 6,000 soldiers who can be used, and they are all over the place, so Yu Futai can only give Chai Daji 1,000 soldiers, and no matter how much it is, it really can't be extracted.
"You are the town of Taiwan that the old man strongly recommended to the Governor, don't let the old man lose face after going to Taiwan..."
Yu Futai also told Chai Daji some precautions when he went to Taiwan, first, he should work together with Sun Jingsui, the prefect of Taiwan, and not lose harmony between civil and military forces.
The second is the issue of the supply of money, food, military salaries, and weapons and ammunition to Taiwan towns.
Taiwan and Xiamen are separated by a strait, and it is inconvenient to travel back and forth, so the supply of weapons is very troublesome, and Yu Futai plans to let Haitan Town, the commander of the Green Battalion, be responsible for the logistics supply of Taiwan's Green Battalion.
As he was talking, the porter came to report that it was an urgent situation in Xiamen, and there was an urgent delivery of Taiwan's military information.
As soon as Yu Futai heard this, he hurriedly came to the lobby with Chai Daji, and before he could get closer, a thousand chief officers of the green camp stumbled over, knelt down with a "plop", and cried silently: "Lord Futai, Taiwan's heaven and earth will be reversed, Changhua, Zhuluo, Fengshan and other places are all trapped in thieves, please Futai Lord quickly dispatch troops to cross the sea to quell the chaos!" ”
"What?!"
Yu Futai was taken aback, "When did it happen?" ”
That Qian said: "It happened a month ago! ”
What happened a month ago, why only report it now!
Yu Futai only felt dizzy.
Chai Daji said angrily: "The incident happened for a month, why didn't you report it earlier!" ”
Mr. Qian said that when crossing the sea through Penghu, he encountered a storm, and the ship was destroyed, and he was delayed for ten days.
Lord Futai settled down and asked, "Where is Sun Jingsui?" ”
Mr. Qian's face was sad: "The prefect has been killed!" ”
"Dead?"
Yu Futai was startled again, the eighty-year-old man almost couldn't stand, and Chai Daji hurriedly stepped forward to support him.
Why is he so out of shape, just because Sun Jingsui is the nephew and son-in-law of Lord Futai.
In the middle of the ring, Lord Futai asked the deputy general of Taiwan's green battalion, He Sheng, where he was.
As a result, he was informed that the deputy general He had called the rebels of the Tiandihui to shoot them with firearms, and that the magistrate Yu Jun, the guerrilla Geng Shiwen and other officials were all killed by the enemy.
Taiwan's green battalion, together with the patrol and township soldiers under the jurisdiction of the Taiwan government, killed more than 40 people in civil and military battles, and more than half of the soldiers suffered casualties.
"How many thieves are there?"
Chai Daji was horrified, more than 2,000 people in Taiwan's Green Battalion and the local township arresters were all wiped out, and how many people did the Tiandihui rebels have to do it.
The thousand generals really don't know how many thieves there are, they only know that they are very capable of fighting, and the generalissimo is a member of the Heaven and Earth Society named Lin Shuangwen.
"The Ronin Who Started from Douluo"
After a pause, he gritted his teeth and said: "Among the thieves, there is an elite who plays black flags in and out, equipped with a large number of firearms, known as the Yang family army, and he dares to fight, and the thief leader of the Yang family army is very young, and he must rush forward with an iron rod in every battle, and no one in our army can be a stick..."
