Jia Liu hurried back to Xiangyang the next day, and went back secretly, so there were very few officials who knew that His Majesty the Emperor had returned to Xiangyang City, the land of his Longxing.

The provincial delegations were even more kept in the bones.

Even Governor Bo, who was preparing a ceremony to celebrate the triumph of His Majesty the Emperor, did not know until Brother Xian suddenly appeared in front of him, and he did not know that the emperor's son-in-law had returned.

The reason why Jia Liu was in a hurry to go back was because Wuchang was going to send a secret mission, and he had to arrange it in advance.

After all, this was the first time that Wuchang had taken the initiative to send an envoy to consult with him since he went south.

Prior to this, the two missions he sent to Wuchang had returned in vain, and he could not even see the face of his father-in-law.

Although it seems that the eldest brother-in-law Gu Mingyuan is making a stalk, who dares to say that he is not an old man and is unwilling to talk to his son-in-law, or that he can't make up his mind and doesn't know how to talk about it, so he simply let his nephew block it for him.

It's not impossible.

After all, Gu Shidao is a bit "roundabout".

It's not a sour show, nor is it a conservative roundabout, but the insistence on beliefs and concepts is something that Jia Liu, a son-in-law, can't match in any way.

Where righteousness lies, life can die, and death can live.

The century-long history of resisting the Qing Dynasty by the remnants of the Ming Dynasty in Jinchuan, as well as the sacrifices they made for it, are unimaginable to outsiders.

Therefore, it is of positive significance for Gu Shidao to take the initiative to send contact with his son-in-law this time.

Moreover, the person sent is still Chen Huizu, who has been advocating peace talks with him in Wuchang recently, and the inner meaning is even more worthy of scrutiny.

Deputy Director Ji analyzed that there were no more than three reasons why Wuchang took the initiative to send people to talk this time.

First, it must be that His Majesty proclaimed himself emperor in front of the army, and his open confrontation with Qianlong stimulated Wuchang;

second, it is the result of His Majesty sending his wife and children to Wuchang to "visit relatives";

Third, of course, it is because of the increasingly tense situation within the Xinghan Army.

Whatever the reason, it's a good thing for the moment.

It's not that Jia Liu can't solve the Xinghan Army militarily, if he really makes up his mind, the Xinghan Army will immediately set off a climax anyway.

After all, his infiltration of the Xinghan Army was carried out by the military and the government at the same time.

How can the Xinghan army in civil strife resist his tens of thousands of elite soldiers?

The reason why they wanted to compromise in exchange for the submission of the Xinghan army was that they did not want the war to break out again, which led to the people of the three provinces suffering two more crimes.

Although there are no specific statistics since the Xinghan army left Sichuan, the number of military and civilian casualties reported by Hubei Governor Zheng Dajin is as high as more than 700,000.

Jiangxi and Hunan provinces will probably not be lower than this number.

In the past two years, at least two million people have died in the fighting in the three provinces.

This loss is something that no one can stop.

No matter how good the military discipline is, the same is true.

Xing, the people suffer; Death, the people suffer.

Just eight words already explain everything.

The price of a military settlement is to separate the people of the three provinces from their wives again.

Therefore, Jia Liu tried his best to prevent this tragedy from happening again.

At the same time, a political settlement is also a kind of respect for those who persist in resisting the Qing Dynasty.

For this reason, I don't mind being discussed privately by my subordinates.

His decisiveness was never used on the people.

How to talk, how to talk, what consensus can be reached, and what cannot be agreed, all need to be personally in charge of Jia Liu.

So, he had to rush back to Xiangyang.

Second, the eldest cousin Songchun urgently sent someone to send a message, saying that it was the second cousin of the aunt's grandmother's family who heard that the cousin of his uncle's family had completely annihilated the Yonghui department and proclaimed himself emperor in front of the army.

That is, out of his cousin Jia Liu's sphere of influence.

Probably it means that you can't go without a fight or with me.

Of course, in order to prevent the news from leaking and being intercepted by troops loyal to his cousin, Wu Er has been hiding from his eldest cousin Song Chun, but Song Chun is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it is judged that Wu Er is going to run through the abnormal movement of the Central Army near the station, so he sent someone out of the city quietly to deliver a letter to his cousin as soon as possible.

The main force of the second division of Ukraine is about 10,000 people of the Central Army of about ten regiments, which are subordinate to the Zhengbai Banner Guard, the Tiger Gun, the Shanpu Second Battalion, and the Jianrui Battalion.

Whether it is combat effectiveness or weapons and equipment, it is much higher than the coating, the Old Summer Palace guard, and the firearms pulled up by Lao Fu.

After all, Wu Er's father, Prince An, was the elder of the Central Army, and he was the first to snatch the fruits of the Central Army during the palace chaos, and his speed was faster than Jia Liudu.

Later, Jia Liu could only hang up a military protection card by himself in the Jingshi Green Battalion, and there was no way to let the Central Army call Uncle Se to rob it all.

In addition to the central army of about 10,000 people, Wu Er also collected part of the Xinghan army in the south of De'an, and also incorporated some bandits and local militia groups, and there were about 10,000 people in the east and west.

In view of this, Jia Liu ordered the second and third towns of the New Army to focus on De'an to set up control and surveillance, and in case there were signs of merging with Yonghui, these two troops that had not yet completed their reorganization would have to undertake the task of blocking and containing.

Thirdly, he is highly respected, regards life and death as nothing, wholeheartedly works hard for the development of the Communist Party, and personally develops Sichuan into the first model province of the Communist Party.

Even if you are His Majesty the Emperor, Jia Liu has great respect and respect for Chairman Li.

In addition to making great contributions to the development of the Communist Association, President Li also greatly supported the industry established by Jia Liu in Zhili.

Without the loan from the Bank of Sichuan, what would Jia Liu do to develop?

I'm afraid I can't even pay my salary.

Thinking about the good of the president, before entering the city, he deliberately stopped at a roadside stall and bought a bundle of tender carrots to bring to the president.

Soon, Chairman Lee, who was asleep, was urgently woken up to the Governor's Yamen, and then another closed-door meeting was held.

There were only three people in this meeting.

President, Vice President, Honorary President.

Due to the high level of secrecy of the meeting, there was not even a note-taker.

"The people all say that a carrot has been beaten for thousands of years, and the president and Ama have tasted it."

Jia Liu handed Lao Li and Lao Bo one carrot that he had washed himself.

Well!

Not to mention, it's a good thing to bite into, it's not numb, and it doesn't stink when you fart.

After eating half a carrot, Lao Li and Lao Bo remembered that they didn't give the emperor a big salute, and they had to kneel three times and kowtow nine times when they shook their sleeves.

"You two look down on me?"

How could Jia Liu let the two respected seniors kneel for him, and he was busy stopping it on the grounds that this was an internal meeting of the Communist Association, not a court meeting.

Public and private, he is very clear.

The two elders glanced at each other, and they were both satisfied: Not to mention anything else, this kid Devil Six is really a good hand in human affairs, and it is difficult for people not to like it.

So, while eating radish, Jia Liu told the Wuchang envoy that Tong Wuer wanted to return to the north.

"That's the situation, I wonder what the president and Amma think? What the two of you know, I can not listen to the opinions of others, but the opinions of the two of them are like Taishan in my mind, and I can't do it if I don't listen. ”

Jia Liu didn't have a shelf at all, so he was busy coming and going.

Either make tea for the two presidents, hand cigarettes to the two presidents, or take a knife to peel the pears in the fruit bowl for the two presidents.

"Talk, you can talk about anything, there's nothing you can't talk about in this world... As long as the Wuchang side can formally obey His Majesty and give up the slogan of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, I think they can be given a certain degree of autonomy, they can go to the braids, restore their clothes, and Your Majesty can go to sweep Chongzhen's tomb. ”

Chairman Li and Vice President Bo had the same attitude, and both believed that they could make appropriate concessions to Wuchang at the moment, as long as they did not continue to shout against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and did not openly oppose the Qing Dynasty after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty.

After that, after His Majesty's Northern Expedition to recover the capital division has completely integrated the northern forces, it will be solved with military force.

It's probably what it means to accumulate grain, build a city high, and kill you again when your wings are stiff.

In other words, first settle inside, and then go outside.

Whether he can get it or not, Jia Liu has his own ideas, but at the moment he doesn't want the north and the south to go to war at the same time.

Therefore, let the two presidents talk to Chen Hui's ancestors on their own behalf to see what the other party's bottom line is.

Of course, Chen Huizu's identity as the head of the regiment cannot be disclosed, after all, this guy is the number one traitor in the Qing Dynasty.

Wu Er there, Jia Liu means to fight.

If you don't fight, you can't do it!

Wu Er would rather run away than regard himself as the Son of Heaven, are there any relatives in this eye!

It's a representative of the separation!

provoked Jia Liu, and he could invite his aunt and grandmother, who had been dead for decades, out to ask how to educate his children and grandchildren.

Lao Bo also agreed to solve the military solution of the second department of Wu, because his side had just won a great victory in Niuxinzhai, and it was when the soldiers were strong and the morale was high, so he did the easy thing of Wuer in one go.

At most, if you lose some troops, you will be given more pensions.

"I thought I could make a way for them,"

Chairman Li put forward different opinions, believing that it is better to spend his efforts to solve Wuer's problems, and it is better to let Wuer return to the north.

"The situation in the capital is like the two ends of the scales, and now no one on either side has an advantage, so the scales are balanced, but if there is suddenly more weight on either side, do you think the scales can still maintain balance?"

】

The president's meaning is very simple, since Prince An did not express his support for his eldest nephew to be the emperor, let him work with Qianlong.

Reverse the profits of fishermen.

"Ginger is still old and spicy!"

Jia Liuda scolded himself for Hu Tu, just thinking that he would settle all parties, why didn't he think about letting the two dogs in the capital bite first.

If Wu Er brings more than 20,000 troops back to Beijing, even if Uncle Se has no intention of fighting Qianlong, I am afraid that Qianlong will be unable to sit down on his own, and he will have to strike first.

"I'll see it."

Lao Bo nodded in agreement, thought of something, and asked: "By the way, since the virtuous brother has been proclaimed emperor, has the name of the year been chosen?" ”

"I'm worried about this."

Jia Liu said the four era names proposed by Ji Yun, and then said that he couldn't look down on any of them.

"Meiji, Guangxu, Jiaqing, Xuantong?"

Lao Bo pondered these four era names carefully, but he felt that no matter which one of them was very atmospheric and compelling, why couldn't he look down on any of the virtuous brothers and sons-in-law.

Lao Li put the small half of the carrot in his hand on the table, tapped his fingers lightly, thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Looking at Your Majesty's thoughts, I feel that these era names are too traditional and not in line with Your Majesty's spirit of innovation.

Although Zhou Bang is old, his life is renewed, and today, doesn't it show that His Majesty is ordered by heaven to lead the Qing army and people to jointly innovate and seek progress. ”

Restoration?

Jia Liu was stunned.

Lao Bo was also stunned, and he thought of a sentence: "He monopolizes the country for profit, and cannot establish a new dynasty."
