Chapter 42: General Jiangning-Elibu!
"A bunch of trash!"
Jiangning Mansion, the residence of the Governor of Liangjiang
Yin Jishan angrily slapped the letter paper in his hand on the desk, and the huge force even made all the items on the desk tremble.
Seeing him angry, many of the servants around him began to tremble
"First Songjiang, then Suzhou, do the defenders in the south of the Yangtze River eat rice? Can't even stop a group of thieves with no more than 1,000 people? How did Tong Hua become the prefect? How did Wei Jingguo, the governor of Jiangnan, lead the soldiers? ”
The more Yin Jishan spoke, the more angry he became, and when he said the end, he even overturned the desk to the ground in a fit of rage, and in an instant, the pen and ink were spilled on the ground with some folds.
lost Songjiang Mansion before, he may still be able to make excuses for him and say that he lost it carelessly, but now that Suzhou Mansion has been lost, how can he explain to the imperial court?
A group of anti-thieves took the land of the two provinces one after another in less than a week, and the emperor had to sense that something was wrong even if he was a fool.
Since ancient times, siege warfare, unless the defenders surrendered, let alone a day, even if it was a month of siege, it was a common thing, and the result was here in Suzhou Mansion, one day?
said that it was all about promoting them one day, and I am afraid that they would be defeated in just an hour after the fight, how should you, the governor of Liangjiang, explain to the imperial court?
A group of thieves took Suzhou Mansion in less than two hours, and if this piece of money was sent to Yongzheng, I am afraid that he would have to be escorted to Beijing in less than two days to be beheaded.
As soon as he thought of this, Yin Jishan felt a chill in his neck, and then hurriedly summoned his subordinates and asked, "Isn't there any news of Wei Jingguo yet?" ”
"Lord Hui, not yet, we haven't found any signs of the imperial army in Songjiang Mansion, 20,000 people and more than 1,000 cavalry, it stands to reason that if it really surrenders, there shouldn't be no movement."
The subordinate's tone was also a little empty at this time, since he began to investigate Wei Jingguo's matter, he felt that this matter was full of strangeness.
20,000 people, no one alive, no corpse dead, and no blood stains were seen at the scene, which is really a miracle for the ages.
"Forget it, let General Elibu come to the official mansion!"
After thinking about it, in the end, Yin Jishan could only sigh and ask his subordinates to invite Yi Libu, the current leader of Jiangning Mansion, over.
After about half an hour, I saw a sedan chair being carried to the door of Yin Jishan's mansion.
After the sedan chair landed, I saw a middle-aged man with a strong figure, sharp eyes, and a lion-print court dress slowly walking out of the sedan chair.
At this time, Yin Jishan had been waiting at the door for a long time
"See the Governor!"
As soon as the two met, the man saluted Yin Jishan.
"Hey, my brother is now divided, you and I are officials in the same dynasty, although there is a grade in the court, but in private I have always regarded you as a brother, why is it suddenly divided now?"
Looking at Elibu, who suddenly saluted him, a trace of darkness flashed in Yin Jishan's eyes.
This old thing, usually crazy and boundless, turned out to be very regular today, not afraid that he had something to entrust, and wanted to refuse it.
"The subordinates don't dare, Lord Yin, as the governor of these two rivers, is a clear and honest official, and is loved by the people, so he is just a martial artist, how dare he call him a brother and a brother, but it is over."
At this time, Elibu was also full of bitterness.
Regarding Wei Jingguo's affairs, he naturally knew everything as a military general, so he was also very frightened of this gang of thieves.
Wei Jingguo, as the governor of Jiangnan, is much stronger than him in terms of ability and qualifications, and it is such a person who has an army of 20,000 and disappears without a trace, which is simply beyond his understanding.
As a veteran from the Kangxi Dynasty, the two used to fight together, so they know each other quite well, and from his point of view, it is absolutely impossible for Wei Jingguo to commit treason.
And except for the case of betrayal, all that remains is to be attacked by the enemy, or... Camp Howling!
As soon as he thought of this, Elibu couldn't help but think of all kinds of rumors about Matsue Mansion, that leader couldn't really know what kind of ghost and god arts...
"Look at what I said, you and I are officials in the same dynasty, it is the same love, so why bother so much, come and come, hurry up and enter the house, it just so happens that I got some good tea these days, and today you come to have a good taste."
Yin Jishan naturally heard the connotation of the other party's words, but as a feudal official, he didn't lack any of the cities he should have, after all, he was asking for help now, so his attitude naturally had to be put down a little.
The two of them came all the way to the middle hall, and at this time there was already a sumptuous meal on the table in the living room, and there were several pretty and lovely maids around to serve on the left and right, just a glance can make people intoxicated.
Seeing this scene, Elibu's heart couldn't help but become more and more bitter, and it seemed that he couldn't escape today's events.
As a military general, playing officialdom and politeness, he is not a little worse than one or two points in terms of human sophistication.
"Come on, come on, brother Xian, do it quickly, today I invited the famous chef of the Drunken Immortal Building of Jiangning Mansion to cook the dishes, let's taste it first, and then taste the tea, what do you think?"
When Yin Jishan said this, he had a warm smile on his face, but in Elibu's eyes at this moment, he was like a smiling tiger.
"If your lord asks, the last general can only be respectful and not obey his fate."
After weighing it for a long time, Elibu could only respond with a fist in his fist.
With that, the two of them sat down directly and started moving.
Although the flavor of this meal is good, it is because the two of them have ghosts in their hearts, so the food is not very enjoyable, but fortunately, Yin Jishan did not mention the issue of sending troops during the meal.
However, after he was full of wine and food, Yin Jishan suddenly said during the tea tasting: "Brother Xian, do you know who the counselor of Suzhou Mansion is?" ”
Hearing this, Elibu, who had begun to relax slightly, instantly lifted his heart again.
"The last general has heard about it, it seems that it is a family member of Wei Jingguo, named Wei Li, and the rest of the last generals don't know."
For the Suzhou general, Elibu has seen it once, when he was just promoted to Jiangning general, when Wei Jingguo brought his own family to visit him, originally Wei Jingguo also mentioned to himself that he wanted this Wei Lili to come to Jiangning to report on his work, and Elibu also considered this problem at that time, but before he made a decision, Wei Jingguo had an accident.
However, what did Yin Jishan suddenly mention this matter for at this time?
"Wei Li, Wei Jingguo's nephew, Kangxi joined the army in the fifty-ninth year, and he has come all the way, although he has not won any battles, but his qualifications have increased a lot with the help of Wei Jingguo..."
Yin Jishan took a sip of tea, but there was a meaningful look in his eyes.
