Chapter 119 Situation 5
Ding Keze wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve and said, "I am going to go to the capital. When I pass by here, I will come to see what you are doing here."
Zhang Jiayu said with a look of surprise: "Go to the capital at this time?"
Ding Keze nodded gently, "When the rebel army was forcing the capital, the commander-in-chief once led the Beijing camp. Later, he led some of his troops to retreat to Shandong, but most of the Beijing camp soldiers stayed there because their families were in the capital. Some of the generals had been in contact with our army, and a lot of news about the Qing army was also reported to us."
"Now the Qing Dynasty is in a rebellious manner in the capital, occupying private houses inside and driving all Han people out of the inner four cities so that the Qing army can live in a concentrated manner. It implements a land enclosure strategy outside, invades the land of ordinary people, and rewards it to the children of the Eight Banners. The public is already in full swing, and countless people are dissatisfied with the Qing Dynasty. I went there this time to use this matter to try my best to recruit some high-powered Han officials for our army."
Zhang Jiayu was silent for a moment and nodded, "This thing is done with a long-term vision, but it seems that you don't have to go there in person! Although your current official position is only a guerrilla general, its role is not inferior to those deputy generals and generals. Just like our army, if you hadn't handed over the stakes here to me, I wouldn't have been able to gain a foothold in the local area so smoothly in such a short time. Moreover, you often show up in Shandong, and there are many people who know you, and you probably have a registered account in the Qing army."
Ding Keze smiled, "General Zhang Shen praised it. Just because my life is worth a little money, I can go there myself to better win the trust and convince those high-ranking officials of the Qing court. After all, having a stable life, but cooperating with us will take great risks. If we cherish our own health, how can we expect others to die?"
Zhang Jiayu clasped his fists and said, "I thought Ding Guerrilla was just a hero in the grass, but I didn't expect that he had such insights. Zhang admired him."
Ding Keze bowed his fists and replied, "General Zhang Shen, I will leave tomorrow. I will send someone to report to Governor Wan and Mr. Li about your situation. Also, do you need anything else here? I can report it on my behalf."
Zhang Jiayu curled his lips and said, "Can you mention anything?"
Ding Keze suddenly felt a little nervous, but he nodded, "The Supervisor and Mr. Li both said that you can play a greater role in the future. Therefore, as long as all the conditions you have put forward are met, I will do my best to transport them to you."
Zhang Jiayu smiled and said, "Then I'm not polite. I want armor and weapons that can be used by 6,000 people, 100,000 taels of silver and 20,000 stones of food and grass. It's best to get me some muskets and tiger cannons, and the more gunpowder, the better."
Ding Keze was stunned. After a while, he swallowed deeply, "You are so polite."
Zhang Jiayu said: "Is it too much? Actually, this can be negotiated."
Ding Keze shook his head and smiled, "I'm just a message delivery person. No matter how many you want, it has nothing to do with me. Make a form! Then you can give Yu Baiyi a headache."
Zhang Jiayu laughed and said, "Just righteousness. Just for this, I will make a little more noise in Hebei. It won't be too big, but it will definitely cause some trouble to the Qing army, which can be regarded as supporting the war in northern Henan."
Zhang Jiayu stood on the top of the mountain, Wen Kai stood beside him, watching Ding Keze carrying a grocery load on his shoulders and traveling farther and farther away. He smiled softly, "Wen Guerrilla, look at him, does he look like an old farmer working in the mountains. If he only looked at his appearance, who would have expected that a person like him who was thrown into the crowd and no one noticed would be the dark night king who controls the world's intelligence."
Wen Kai curled the corner of his mouth, "This Ding Guerrilla really shivered a little, he was worse than my old Wen."
Zhang Jiayu laughed in silence, "You are so polite."
Wen Kai smiled and said, "General Zhang Shen, listen to Ding Guerrilla's words, Hei Mingdao is much more popular in Shanxi than we have made. I heard that his head is always valuable."
Zhang Jiayu shook his head, "His father was the left governor and a native of Shanxi, and he was better than us to win over people. Now Jiang Yan sent troops to attack Zhangde again, which led to the emptiness of Shanxi's troops. He also took advantage of the situation to do so. However, he was young and vigorous, and showed his sharpness. He acted like this when he was not as strong as he was, and he would definitely suffer a great loss in the future."
As he said that, he turned his head to look at Wen Kai and said, "Wen Guerrilla, we are deeply in the heart of the Qing army. The situation we face is far more dangerous than Hei Mingdao. You and I are in the same fate, and only by working together can we open up the situation. Be cautious and patient, and we will have the opportunity to shine in the future."
Wen Kai clasped his fists and said, "How can you not know the subordinates you mentioned? Don't worry, the commander asked me to assist you, everything will be subject to your order."
Zhang Jiayu patted Wen Kai on the shoulder and asked him to put down his hand. "Wen Guerrilla, I thought about it. Maybe we can fight a war with other battalions this time."
Wen Kai said frantically: "General Zhang Shen, aren't you kidding! Didn't you just say that we want to hide our strength for the time being?"
Zhang Jiayu smiled and said, "No one knows the location of our battalion, and no one knows how many troops we have. We can use those battalions to carry out this matter. Even if the Qing army sends troops to suppress us, it will not cause much damage to us. Moreover, if their strength becomes weak, it will also help me completely conquer them in the future."
Wen Kai frowned and said, "Those goods are the masters who don't show off their rabbits and don't show off their eagles. Will they be obedient?"
Zhang Jiayu curled the corners of her mouth, "Yes, just give them enough benefits."
Wen Kai scratched his head, "What Ding Guerrilla said will not be transported here in a short time, but we don't have it now..."
Zhang Jiayu waved his hand and said, "We don't have it here, but there are there in the Qing army. Now tens of thousands of Qing army's supplies on the front line of Julu are transported from the rear. I sent scouts to investigate, and there are less than a thousand people escorting each time. Choose a place they must pass, rob all the supplies, and then gather those battalions of troops to set up a Qing army. If they can defeat them and take the opportunity to take down one or two cities, they can make the momentum big enough."
Wen Kai was silent for a moment, nodded slightly and said, "It's feasible. We will also take the opportunity to add that the brothers have not had any meat for a long time."
Zhang Jiayu shook his head and said, "This time we will not take property or occupy the city, and give them all the income. Of course, the credit for plundering the Qing army's supplies will also be given to them."
Wen Kai was stunned for a moment, but soon understood. "General Zhang Shen, what you mean is that we are hiding behind and let them accept possible revenge from the Qing army."
