On the way back to Xiangyang, the generals loyal to Prince Rui sent the military orders issued to them one after another.

If it is said that in the first round of confrontation, due to the paralysis and carelessness of the Huguang Green Battalion, the leadership was raided by others, resulting in Jia Liu losing an elite ace army without firing a single shot.

I was a little caught off guard.

The situation is small and bad.

Then, in the second round of confrontation, Jia Liu had a big advantage.

First of all, the "overlord" of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Gansu Green Battalion, which unified the ideology, moved eastward, ensuring that Jia Liu had the military strength to fight against the puppet Xingyuan, and overwhelmed the pseudo-Xingyuan with an absolute advantage in the balance of forces.

In other words, if Jia Liu is determined to use force to solve the problem, then the troops loyal to him will completely resolve the incident within half a month.

However, there is a risk that this will expand and lead to civil war.

Until the last moment, Jia Liu was unwilling to start a civil war.

Secondly, the statements of the two senior military and political leaders of Hubei, Bo Qing'e, the governor of Huguang, and Wan Chaoxing, the general of Jingzhou, completely smashed the conspiracy of the puppet Xingyuan to isolate Jia Liu politically.

The fly in the ointment is that Zheng Dajin, the governor of Hubei, did not stand on Jia Liu's side clearly, and of course, the Futai lord also did not express his support for the new general Wang Yonghui.

Deputy Director Ji analyzed that Zheng Dajin is the grass on both ends of the first mouse.

In essence, they belong to old fritters and cannot be reused.

"No, Zheng Dajin is 100% supportive of this king."

Jia Liu, who was sitting in the bulletproof car, read the official documents from all over the country, and said to Lao Ji casually: "You have to understand, Yonghui is the prince after all, and he holds the will, no matter from which point of view, people represent the court and the emperor...

As the governor of Hubei, Zheng Dajin called on both of us to exercise restraint and avoid the situation from deteriorating.

The meaning is that you Lao Ji will taste a good product and carefully taste a product, whether he Zheng Dajin supports the court or the king? ”

"Hearing what the prince said, Zheng Futai did not live up to the prince's respect and love for him."

Deputy Director Ji suddenly realized, "Let's click" a few times, and the carriage was suddenly filled with choking smoke.

Even Jia Liu was choked and coughed.

Fortunately, it quickly got used to it.

"The prince made a brazen move this time, directly piercing the true face of the paper tiger of the Chen family and his son, and the lower officials thought that this practice was no less than a million heroes."

Deputy Director Ji obviously refers to the fact that the prince wrote directly to Huangzhou, exposing the true face of Qianlong's father and son as Han Chinese.

It is certain that this incident will set off a monstrous wave in Huangzhou, and it will also make the old four devils in Beijing uneasy.

"Didn't he Chen's father and son want to suppress me with righteousness, of course this king wants to fight back with righteousness, I want to see if the people of the world support their father and son, or support me, the authentic old man!"

Jia Liu snorted, his face was pale, "Play righteousness with me, don't talk about him Chen Yonghui, even if Chen Yongren comes, he has to kneel." ”

After that, he continued to distribute mutual aid secrets to Shaanxi, Gansu, Henan, Shandong, Shanxi, Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangxi, Fujian and other places.

One of the distinctive characteristics of these provinces is that the first or second in command is a mutual aid member.

Shaanxi received the secret text from Shaanxi Governor Bi Yuan, Gansu Governor Wang Tingzan, Shandong Governor Guotai, Zhejiang Governor Wang Kangwang, Anhui Governor Min Juyuan, Henan Governor He Yucheng, Shanxi Governor Ebao, Fujian Governor Wu Lana...

Hai Cheng, the former governor of Jiangxi, was imprisoned for abandoning Nanchang, and the court proposed to "rehire" the retired former governor Hao Shuo.

Hao Shuo is a mutual aid member.

At the governor level, according to what Jia Liu learned from Lao Fu back then, six of the nine major fiefdoms including Lao Fu were mutual aid members.

It is the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, Leerjin, the governor of Liangguang, Li Shuyao, the governor of Huguang, Chen Huizu, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Yade, and the governor of Zhili, Yang Jingsu.

Those who are still in office today are the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, Leerjin, the governor of Zhili, Yang Jingsu, and the governor of Liangguang, Li Shiyao.

Chen Huizu, the governor of Huguang, was purged because of his surrender to the enemy, and he was also expelled from the Mutual Aid Association by Lao Fu, but he was restored by Jia Liu, the new host, and continued to preside over the Huguang Mutual Aid Association.

The governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Yade, was old and retired, and his successor was the Manchurian Debao, who had nothing to do with the Mutual Aid Society.

Fujian Province now only has such a living treasure as the political envoy Wu Lana.

Leer Jin and Yang Jingsu sent their own secret texts, and Jia Liu was a little undecided about whether to send the secret texts to Li Shuyao, the governor of Liangguang.

It is understood that this Li Shiyao is a descendant of the founding traitor Li Yongfang, who belongs to the old Liao system, so his loyalty to the Qing court is higher than that of the descendants of the traitors in Guannei.

Therefore, Jia Liu was afraid that Li Shiyao would not respond by telegram, but Li Shiyao's younger brother Li Fengyao is now the spokesperson of the Han Army's Zhenghuang Banner, and his political position is inclined to his own, so after thinking about it, Jia Liu still sent a secret telegram to Li Shuyao.

If Li Shuyao refused to respond by telegram, he would be expelled from his mutual aid membership according to organizational procedures and liquidated as a member of Qianlong's anti-party.

Zhili and Sichuan have already sent a secret letter, in addition to the basic requirement of responding to the telegram, that is, to ask Zhili and Sichuan to carry out a general mobilization to deal with the possible outbreak of war.

On the Sichuan side, Jia Liu asked Chairman Li Shijie to organize and train a new army of no less than 30,000 people within three months, and leave Sichuan and enter Shaanxi at any time.

On the Zhili side, the governor Yang Jingsu and Buzheng Fanwei were required to fully grasp the local power and not give the imperial court any chance to infiltrate.

At the same time, Wang Fu, who was also the commander of the Zhili Army and the commander of the New Army, was asked to integrate the army and navy forces of Zhili to form a key encirclement of the Beijing Division, and at the same time, to ensure that Tianjin, the military industrial and trade base to which Jia Liu had devoted great efforts, would not be subverted by the reactionary clique.

Deputy Director Ji added that in the capacity of Prince Heshuorui and General Fuyuan, the prince sent a telegram to the governors, governors, generals, admirals, commanders, and ministers of affairs in the remaining provinces of the country.

In this way, we can know the political stance of the high-ranking officials of the provinces on the slander and attack of Prince Rui, and then we can identify who can be wooed and who will be attacked.

"Yes, let this incident be a litmus test for officials across the country."

Jia Liu happily accepted and asked Lao Ji to send documents to officials in various places on his behalf, and he personally wrote a letter to his eldest brother, Jiangning General Songchun.

After writing the seal and ordering it to be issued, he was about to catch Lao Ji out of the car and rest for a while, when the convoy suddenly stopped.

"Why did it stop?"

Jia Liu poked his head out of the car window.

"Lord, I'll take a look at the front!"

The pillar beat the horse and ran forward, but before long, he hurried back with a man who looked like a beggar.

Before Jia Liu could see who the man was, the man had already run to the bulletproof car, knelt down for him, and shouted in tears: "Lord Wang, it's the slave Asiha!" ”
