Chapter 537: A Chief Soldier Fell from the Sky
Yin Letu was the military department Manshangshu, the brother-in-law of the old man, and the nominal supreme commander of the Qing army.
When Zhou Huang of the Ministry of War Han Shangshu inspected the situation in Sichuan as a special commissioner the year before last, he made friends with the old rich man's work, and now it is basically certain that he is the same leg as the old rich, otherwise the old man would not have handed over the important post of Han Shangshu of the Ministry of War to him.
Through these two people, Lao Fu has completely controlled the Ministry of Defense of the Qing Dynasty, so there is no obstacle to the transfer of troops from Sichuan to Beijing, whether in terms of legal theory or procedure.
Regarding the matter of the Sichuan general army Marqin leading troops into Beijing, Jia Liu knew about it very early.
At the first time, he wrote to his father-in-law, Bo Qing, the governor of Sichuan, and his good brother, President Li, the governor of Sichuan, asking them to cooperate with the military department's order.
That is to say, no matter where the soldiers are transferred or who is transferred to Beijing in the official document of the Ministry of War, the Sichuan side will all allow them to go, instead of privately contradicting them for the sake of Yang and Yin.
When Lao Fu served as the governor of Sichuan, he had two close generals, one was Marqin, who was the chief soldier of Sichuan and was born in the Eight Banners of Manchuria;
One is Wang Jintai, the governor of Guizhou and the Eight Banners of the Han Army.
In the suppression of the Agui rebellion, the governor under the command of Marqin and the Guizhou Green Battalion under the command of Wang Jintai fought the most fiercely and attacked the hardest, and they were the main force to quell the rebellion.
Kill your own people, more ruthless than Jia Liu.
After Agui's father and son surrendered, Marqin was instructed by Lao Fu to kill more than 200 Qihan officers who surrendered in the name of Agui's rebellious party.
Wang Jintai secretly executed Ah Gui's father and son.
This move directly led to a serious officer fault line in the four major battalions of the Beijing Battalion, the main force of the Eight Banners, in Sichuan, including the forward, firearms, escort, and jianrui battalions, and the combat effectiveness plummeted.
From this point of view, Wang Jintai, Marqin, and even the mastermind behind the scenes, Fu Lehun, are all great heroes of the anti-Qing Dynasty.
Jia Liu cooperated with the thieves to take out the front-line corps headquarters headed by Wen Fu and killed more than 100 officers at or above the school level.
In order to kill his opponent Ah Gui, Lao Fu executed more than 200 officers at or above the school level before and after, which was much more ruthless than him.
The Eight Banners of the Great Qing Dynasty floating behind Jia Liu observed the group, and at least one-third of the score was hung up behind the old rich.
After the attack on the Bright Battalion, the Central Army of the Eight Banners in Jinchuan basically withdrew from the stage of history, and it was in name only.
On the side of the Beijing Division, the establishment of the forward battalion became the forward battalion of the Han Army, the establishment of the guard battalion was held by Jia Liu, the cage of the firearms battalion was changed for birds and was carried by the Suiyuan Eight Banners, and the remaining central army was established by the Jianrui Battalion and the Shanpu Battalion.
I heard that the two central military establishments wanted it, but the old rich didn't give it, and the reconstruction may be done after the year.
Jia Liu guessed that Lao Fu wanted to take out the two central military establishments to show favors, that is, in exchange for the support of all the forces in the Eight Banners.
It is even possible to contact the generals and commanders stationed in various places, and exchange the quota for entering Beijing for the recognition of him as the foreman of the military aircraft by the local powerful elders, and then recognize the status of the prince of the old rich godson Lao Twelve.
As long as Lao Fu did not kill Qianlong openly, there was basically no possibility for the local powerful faction to raise troops on the side of the Qing monarch.
Faithfulness is also something that can be discussed.
Marqin was ordered to enter Beijing, bringing with him his main force, that is, Lao Fu's governor's guard in Sichuan.
There are more than 3,000 soldiers, the soldiers are basically green battalions, and more than half of the officers are banner men.
The combat effectiveness of this unit is very impressive, and it can be said that it has been tested in battle for a long time, otherwise it would not have been under the command of Marqin and would not have fallen behind in the confrontation with the 2nd Firearms Battalion, which had not lost its strength at that time.
Of course, it is definitely not possible to fight thieves, otherwise Jinchuan would not have fought for decades.
Jia Liu suspected that Lao Fu might have asked Marqin to replace him as the commander of the Nine Gates, so with these 3,000 descendants, plus more than 7,000 Eight Banner soldiers transferred from the Ten Small Military Regions of Zhili, Lao Fu, the commander of the light pole, had an army of tens of thousands of people at once.
Theoretically, without the support of Uncle Color's protectors, Lao Fu can also suppress the Lower Five Banners of Manchuria, coupled with the rebuilding of the Upper Three Banners of Manchuria with grace, and a series of political means such as winning over and dividing the prince.
Not surprisingly, the old rich were able to complete the centralization of power in the 41st year of Qianlong and become a real minister, a politician and strategist of the Qing Dynasty.
The military strategist is Jia Liu himself, and he is the only one in the entire Qing Dynasty who deserves this honorary title.
No moisture.
Because, only he lives.
"Fu Zhongtang represents the emperor and the imperial court, and you can't be suspicious of it... Watch his deeds and listen to his words. ”
Jia Liu spoke highly of Asiha's loyalty and vision, and let him exert his energy in the appointment of the secretary of the ministry, that is, the officials and officials who were subsequently promoted were all given the green light to let him go.
He also told Askha that he had talked to Fullerhun, and that Atha would be able to enter the military aircraft department and become a member of the government team after a year.
Asiha wanted to express his loyalty and gratitude to Lord Jia Jia excitedly, but when the old rich came, he disappeared into the crowd with interest.
The old rich walks vigorously, the tiger is full of wind, and the face is even more proud.
In short, it's a good mood.
"Have you eaten?"
"Eat."
"Okay."
After the two brothers were polite, Jia Liu recommended Jiang Hui, the left deputy capital, to serve as the Han squire of the Ministry of Officials.
Although Jiang Wei is a two-faced person and conspires against the Qing Dynasty, Jia Liu is honest and collects money to do things, even if he knows that the other party is a traitor and opportunist, the promised position of squire must be fulfilled by others.
No matter what you do, the first shot must be good.
With the successful precedent of Jiang Hui, the eldest brother-in-law can have a good source of customers, and Jia Liu's wealth is rolling in, and the business is prosperous.
"Jiang Hui?"
The old man has an impression of this person, and his impression is not bad, because the three generations of the Jiang family's ancestors and grandchildren have been officials in the imperial court, and they have a good reputation.
It's just that the old rich floated, and he didn't sell the face of the six sons and virtuous disciples at the first time, but said that this matter would be studied and studied at the Military Aircraft Department.
"Oh,"
Jia Liu nodded, and he couldn't say anything if the old man wanted to go through the organizational procedures, so he asked: "I heard that you transferred the Sichuan army into Beijing?" ”
Hearing this, the old man's face changed, and he hurriedly explained that the sixth son and his younger brother were going to Baoding to take office after the year, and there was no useful manpower around him, and that Marqin performed well in Sichuan and was a material that could be made, so he asked him to return to Beijing to listen to it.
Jia Liu smiled: "Big brother doesn't have to explain to me, I just asked casually, as the old saying goes, no matter how chaotic the world is, don't panic when you have food in your hands." ”
This grain is a metaphor.
The old man did not hesitate this time, and said in a low voice: "Jiang Wei is the servant of the ministry, and I will draw up an edict when I go back." ”
Jia Liu nodded again, and the two brothers said too much, and put forward a request, that is, since the Sichuan General Soldier Marqin entered Beijing, the position of the Sichuan General Soldier would be given to him.
Lao Fu knew that Jia Liu had subordinates when he was in Sichuan, and he thought that the position of Sichuan General Soldier was not an important position, so he agreed and asked Jia Liu who recommended him to serve as the Sichuan General Army.
"Wang Fu, the deputy general of Chengdu Town, is young and promising, brave and good at fighting, and has repeatedly made military exploits, and now he leads his troops to quell the chaos in Huguang, and is loyal to the imperial court, I think he can serve as the chief soldier of Sichuan."
Jia Liubao promoted Wang Fu to the post of Sichuan General Army.
Zu Yingyuan Jia Liu, who is the most capable of fighting, also has an arrangement, that is, he is ready to let him serve as the governor of Huguang, but the premise is to kill Feng Sheng's forehead first.
One person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven...
For the sake of the Qing Dynasty and common progress, Jia Liu never dared to forget.
