Ji Yun actually didn't see the main master, that is, Gu Shidao, Jia Liu's father-in-law and commander of the Xinghan Army, but Gu Mingyuan, Gu Shidao's nephew.

This person is the son of Gu Shidao's brother Gu Shiwen, and he and Yuanyuan are uncles and sisters.

In other words, it is Jia Liu's brother-in-law and the uncle of his son Keqing.

However, this brother-in-law has some skills, and he is a second-generation leader in the Xinghan Army, and he has the support of the remnants of the Ming Dynasty who rushed out of Jinchuan.

At the beginning, the great victory of the Xinghan Army in Yunmen, Chongqing, was that Gu Mingyuan commanded on the front line.

Later, when he rushed out of Sichuan and invaded Huguang, Gu Mingyuan always led his troops to rush to the front, and he attached great importance to the contact with Huguang civil society elements.

During the attack on Huguang, the men and horses of the Xinghan army were often still hundreds of miles away, but their envoys had already made contact with the local community elements, and they were very effective in assassination, rebellion, and internal response.

At the suggestion of Qiu Ba and others, Gu Mingyuan vigorously recruited fishermen along the Yangtze River to form a naval division for the Han Army, which laid the foundation for the later attack on Jingzhou.

After capturing Wuchang, Gu Shidao let his nephew Mingyuan build the Xinghan Army Naval Division, under the auspices of Gu Mingyuan, the Xinghan Army's naval division now has more than 400 large and small warships, with more than 20,000 soldiers, as if it is already a hegemon in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River.

Of course, in addition to Gu Mingyuan's attention to the development of the water division, the credit for this is also related to the Qing army's Dongting Lake water division to surrender the enemy collectively.

After Gu An, the third generation of the Gu family, led his troops to conquer Hunan, Gu Mingyuan's uncle Gu Shidao suggested that he reorganize the various departments of the Xinghan Army and form twelve armies.

In addition, the second-line troops (local garrisons) are scattered and scattered, and there are more than a dozen divisions of nearly 30,000 people, and the combat effectiveness of these second-line troops is not high, and the quality of the soldiers is uneven.

The soldiers of the main force ranged from 8,000 to 13,000 per army, and their combat effectiveness varied, among which the second, fourth, and sixth armies, and the tenth army included the naval division troops, and about 70,000 people were attacking Anqing under the command of Gu Shidao's nephews Gu An and Jingluo Bayansan.

The 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 8th, and 9th armies fended against the Qing army in Hubei.

The 11th and 12th armies were maneuvering in Hunan and Jiangxi, and the two armies mainly undertook combat missions against Ganzhou, except for clearing out some remnants of the Qing army in western Xiangxi.

Except for Zhou Linwang of the Sixth Army, Ma Dayuan of the Seventh Army, and Guo Guangde of the Ninth Army, the commanders of the other nine armies were all descendants of the Xinghan Army, including the Qiu Eighth Third Army stationed in Anlu.

The reorganization of the army made the overall strength of the Xinghan army rise to a higher level, and the battle beheaded the Fengsheng of the Qing Dingxi general, and achieved the second Wuchang victory, and the momentum of the Xinghan army was very high for a while.

Chen Huizu, the former governor of Huguang in the Qing Dynasty, even offered a plan to move his army east to seize Nanjing, worship Xiaoling, and imitate the Ming Taizu to wave the Northern Expedition, which undoubtedly made the Xinghan army more "aggressive", many people have forgotten how they were surrounded by the Qing army for a hundred years, and only want to recover the Han Dynasty, and have a positive and optimistic attitude towards this.

In this way, Jia Liuzi, who is bent on throwing an olive branch, is not treated well by others.

In this regard, Jia Liu actually had points, but he didn't expect that his brother-in-law Gu Mingyuan would not allow his envoy to go to Wuchang to meet his uncle Gu Shidao.

In other words, this brother-in-law is a bit self-conscious, elevating Jia Liu's father-in-law and cutting off the connection with his brother-in-law.

It's a bit of a feeling that the six relatives don't recognize.

Gu Mingyuan himself undoubtedly hated and hated the Qing court, in addition to the remnants of the Jinchuan Ming Dynasty and the century-old blood feud of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it also had a lot to do with the Gu family's resistance to the Qing Dynasty and the loyalty of the martyrs.

However, in the end, the key reason for Gu Mingyuan's refusal to negotiate peace with his "brother-in-law" was another person.

This person is Jia Liu's old acquaintance Lu Yuanguang.

At that time, Mr. Lu Qian has now become the commander of the first army of the Xinghan Army.

It was also under the persuasion of Lu Yuanguang that Gu Mingyuan did not allow his brother-in-law's envoy to go to Wuchang, and put forward a condition that his brother-in-law could not accept at all - to hand over Qianlong.

Why didn't Lu Yuanguang want to talk to the general Wang of the Qing Dynasty?

The reason is that he knows that this great general Wang Shui is too much, he is simply a greedy person who is afraid of death, and he can't fight at all, so he is a complete waste.

In that case, why bother?

The Qing army has the ability to fight over!

If you don't have the ability to fight, what are you going to talk to us about?

"They said that as long as the prince handed over the emperor, the prince could be treated as a happy marquis."

Ji Yun was secretly looking at the prince's expression when he said this, and sure enough, anger, unwillingness, hatred, and grievance suddenly appeared on the prince's face.

"It's just too much deception, I'm a general in the Qing Dynasty, it can be said that one person is above ten thousand people, what's the matter, it's just a marquis?"

Jia Liu was really angry, and his brother-in-law said that he would give him a prince's treatment, and he would not be so angry.

"Who gave them the courage to say such unbelievable words!"

In anger, Jia Liuyi punched several wooden planks used to practice taekwondo, and it seemed that the peace talks really couldn't continue, because it was impossible for the old rich and the color uncle to agree to hand over Qianlong.

Moreover, handing over Qianlong means that Jia Liu will lose the opportunity to wear the imperial robe and completely surrender to the Xinghan army, which he absolutely cannot tolerate.

The pressure is completely on Jia Liu's side.

So, at Ji Yun's suggestion, an enlarged meeting of the Communist Party was held.

All the backbone members of the Gongjin Association above the four grades in Xiangyang came to attend the meeting.

The people were quickly assembled, except for Zu Yingyuan, the governor of Huguang, who led the troops to strengthen the garrison of Wusheng Pass, and Wang Fu, who went to Zhili to train the troops, everyone else was there.

Looking at a large group of subordinate generals, Jia Liu was also sincere, and said straight to the point: "The peace talks broke down, and people didn't accept my affection at all, so calling you here is to discuss what to do next." ”

After a pause, his cheeks twitched, and he said with some difficulty: "Of course, it is I who insist on peace talks, and I may have made a big mistake in this matter, and I am a little self-righteous, so we also have to criticize and self-criticize." ”

When Chang Bingzhong heard this, he couldn't help but be curious: "Captain, who to criticize first?" ”

Jia Liu sighed lightly: "Criticize me first, after all, I have a lot of responsibility for this matter." ”

Glancing at everyone: "Everyone speak freely, don't have any scruples, if I can't hear the truth from you, where else can I hear the truth?" ”

"Okay, I'll take the lead first!"

Zhang Dabiao got up angrily, "I have long felt that adults are too unreliable in handling affairs, and the ideas are too child's play, even if you really want to talk, you have to fight first!" If you don't fight, you just beg people to talk about it! What's the difference between this and being a fool? ”

Hearing this, Jia Liu raised his eyebrows: "Da Biao, it's a criticism of me." ”

"I'm criticizing my lord,"

Zhang Dabiao hated iron and steel, "The feeling that adults give me this time is that they are too naïve, and the brothers have long been unaccustomed to it." ”

"I tell you not to have scruples, but you don't have no scruples, okay, that's the end of the criticism, we still have to be realistic, let's talk about how to fight."

Jia Liu coughed lightly and motioned to the clerk who was recording on the side to pinch the paragraph just now and not broadcast it.

The direction of the meeting suddenly changed, and everyone had a fierce debate about how to fight.

In the end, it was concluded that it was necessary to fight, fight hard, and fight hard.
