Chapter 91: Beheading Jiao Jing
Looking at the curved word "Zhong" on it, Li Yun was shot and stood up, and said in surprise: "This is Liu Chongyue's gun! Where are others?"
Zhong Lin cried, "This was picked up by the roadside when I broke through! There were blood on it. Brother Liu... He... He must have been killed! He used to be very precious to this gun. Not to mention using it, he wouldn't be willing to take it out for us to show it. How could he throw it on the ground for no reason!"
Huang Jinwen also took out the short gun from his waist, looked at it, and then at the short gun in Li Yunzhong's hand, and cried silently.
Seeing Li Yunzhong's body shaking, Tang Liang hurriedly supported him and advised: "Your Highness takes care of your health. Brother Liu doesn't want your Highness to do this in the Spirit of Heaven..."
Li Yunzhong thought of the five hundred teenagers and felt sad: "I should have brought them to Jiangxi at the beginning, five hundred people... a total of five hundred people died just to cover my breakout. I'm sorry to them!"
Jiao Liang already understood that everything would be done, Jiao Jing could not save it anymore, so he could only close his eyes as if he had accepted his fate, and held back his tears and asked for his orders: "Report to Your Highness, Jiao Jing had an affair with the Qing court and was killed by Han Jian. He deserves to be killed. Please kill him to avenge the dead brothers!"
Jiao Jing couldn't believe his ears, looked at Jiao Liang in horror, and cursed: "Okay, Jiao Liang, you want to kill me for self-protection! I'm really blind. I haven't seen you clearly for so many years! What my father said before he died, he asked you to take good care of me, that's how you took care of me! Dad... open your eyes and take a look! Brother, he wants to kill me."
"Don't mess around, you're obsessed with it, you're a big mistake and you can't blame others!" Jiao Liang grabbed Jiao Jing's collar with both hands and scolded angrily.
"If you hadn't been pressing on my head, I would have done this! You clearly know that I like Yuexiang! You still married her to the King of Han! What's the point of this King of Han? If you please him like this, I am your brother!" Jiao Jing finished all the words he held in his heart in one breath and fell to the ground.
Jiao Liang was furious and knelt to Li Yunzhong, "I originally wanted to ask Your Highness to surround Jiao Jing's life, but Jiao Jing's mistake was too great. If Your Highness spared him and caused criticism from the world, I would not be able to explain to my dead brothers. I would like to ask Your Highness to punish Jiao Jingming to comfort the brothers' spirits in heaven!"
Li Yunzhong clenched his fists and said word by word: "Accurate! Take Jiao Jing out and kill!"
Li Guoli and other gentry were frightened when they watched the army entering the city. They all stared at what the army would do. They knew that they had "surrounded" the county government and stood still, so they felt relieved.
"This is a short-haired army! It's true that it is worthy of its reputation." Zhou Di looked around and sighed.
Li Guoli asked, "But why did they surround the county government and there was no shouting of killing in it? Did they have killed General Li? Or did General Li surrender, and it seems that short-haired is not that scary. I just saw the army entering the city buying things and paying for it. It was really unreasonable. Let's go home and wait for news with peace of mind. Maybe the short-haired official will summon us, and it seems that we have to pay some money and food again!"
Zhou Di reminded him before parting: "After meeting the short-haired official, don't mention the word "short-haired" in front of them, you should call it the Han army!"
"It's not good to mention short-haired hair, otherwise it would be wronged if you were beheaded in a confused manner!"
Zhou Di looked at Li Guoli again and said with a smile: "Brother Li is the smartest. At that time, we will follow Brother Li's leader. We will say whatever Brother Li says, and everyone will say it is okay!"
"Mr. Zhou is right. Brother Li is knowledgeable and has dealt with the governor. We all listen to Brother Li!" A vulgar squint touched his beard and agreed.
Li Guoli bowed his fists and thanked: "Thank you all to your love, it is related to our family and family life, so Li will no longer refuse."
Yanjing
In early spring, Xianfeng was extremely busy, but he was busy with "sowing seeds". The four beauties of the Summer Palace made him dizzy and weaker, so that he often became dizzy and vomited when dealing with state affairs. Ministers advised him to stay away from women, but Xianfeng was alienated from state affairs and stayed in the Summer Palace.
The Military Affairs Office, leaving a vacant seat in the duty room, Ruihua sighed repeatedly: "This emperor said that he favors Concubine Lan and Concubine Wan, and he lingers in women all day long. In the long run, the country will not be in a state!"
Listening to Ruihua's nonsense, Mu Yin said bluntly: "This nobleman Lan is very scheming and is actually close to Prince Gong. He mentioned Prince Gong many times before the emperor. Now, Prince Gong actually entered the Military Affairs Office."
Zaiyuan also complained: "Prince Gong is so disrespectful. He has to object to the officials we recommend. But there are still many reasons. If this continues, we will all drink the northwest wind!"
After saying that, the three of them looked at Sushun, who was sitting in the same voice, "Sushun, you say something! The emperor trusts you the most."
Su Shun was in a conflict. He agreed with Prince Gong's proposal emotionally, but reason told him to oppose it. There was no other reason, but he was to compete for favor.
"You are right. Prince Gong's hand stretched too long. The nobleman Lan in the palace often accompanied the emperor to handle state affairs. In addition, the troublesome Prince Gong, no one listened to us."
Seeing Sushun standing on their side, Ruihua said happily: "Then think of a solution quickly, we will all listen to you!"
Zaiyuan and Mu Yin nodded like chickens pecking at rice. They had already discussed this. Sushun took over the power, and the three of them took over the money. Everyone supported each other and took care of each other.
"Do you still remember what Prince Gong fought with the emperor?" Su Shun showed a sinister and cunning look on her face and said in a low voice: "As long as we spread rumors in the palace, Prince Gong is resentful about losing the throne and often speaks of resentment..."
Mu Yin was very satisfied with this method and smiled and said, "In this way, Prince Gong is unaware of his argument. The more he defends himself, the more he doubts the emperor, and provokes the thorn in his heart."
"Even if Prince Gong continues to stay in the Military Affairs Office, the emperor will not trust him. Losing the emperor's trust will become a decoration, haha..." Zaiyuan laughed out loud when he thought that Prince Gong would look depressed every day.
"What are the happy events for all my dear friends? They even laughed in the duty room!" Xianfeng was in a good mood, and a hint of blush appeared on his pale face.
"I will meet the emperor."
"No gifts, will there be a front-line battle report recently?" Xianfeng casually flipped over the memorial on the table, but his heart was up and down.
Su Shun replied: "According to the speed at which the post station conveys official documents, the battle report in Hangzhou, Zhejiang should arrive at noon today, the battle report in Jiangxi will arrive at the Si time, and the battle report in Sichuan will arrive at the Shen time."
Xianfeng looked up at the sky and said, "Where is the battle report in Jiangxi? It's already the hour. Hurry up and find it."
Ruihua expressed his intentions and replied: "Your Majesty, when I came, I sorted out the memorials from all over the country. I didn't find the memorials from Jiangxi. Maybe it's already..."
"The emperor's latest battle report in Jiangxi is for you to read." Prince Gong Yi hurriedly walked into the duty room of the Military Affairs Office with a memorial.
Xianfeng quickly stood up to take the battle report, which shocked Andhai, who was serving on the side, and had never seen the emperor so quickly.
"I want reinforcements again! Didn't I send all Zeng Guofan's Hunan Army there?" Xianfeng was disappointed when he saw that it was not a good news and began to blame the front-line generals.
Yi? advised: "Maybe it was because the short-haired soldiers were too aggressive, and Jiang Zhongyuan was also anxious to win quickly, so he asked for reinforcements. The emperor did not let go of the imperial edict to encourage Jiang Zhongyuan, so that he could know that the emperor's grace was vast."
Xianfeng nodded repeatedly, thinking that Yi's words made sense.
Seeing that Prince Gong's suggestion was about to be adopted, Ruihua hurriedly said: "Report to the emperor, the Minister of the Anhui Tuanlian, Lu Xianji, came to report that he said that northern Anhui had a severe drought and the land was not harvested. Many refugees gathered in a place called Zhiheji, and seemed to be intending to rebel!"
Xianfeng's mood suddenly became depressed and said angrily: "Since I ascended the throne, there have been severe droughts everywhere. Guangxi, Hunan, Shaanxi, Henan, and now Anhui is in Anhui. This only heavy grain area is occupied by short hair. Is my Qing dynasty full of energy? I might as well take advantage of the rebels not entering the capital and have fun!"
Seeing that the emperor was tired of state affairs, Su Shun comforted: "The emperor calmed down. The Qing Dynasty was established for more than two hundred years, and its foundation was already stable. Rebels were only rampant for a while. As long as we hold our foot, the rebels would inevitably be in chaos without fighting. They were just a group of people who had limited knowledge. They would not be in the mood to fight in the flower world. They would have to be extravagant in less than three to five years. At that time, the rebels would have no intention of fighting and would have no courage. It was the time for the Qing Dynasty to counterattack."
Yi? said admiringly: "What Sushun said is what the minister wants to say. The emperor is the true dragon emperor. How can a group of thieves shake it!"
Shameless! Ruihua glared at Prince Gong and flattered at Xianfeng: "The Emperor's Anhui affairs cannot be delayed anymore. Anhui is backed by the heart of the Central Plains, and there must be no gains or losses."
Xianfeng asked, "What are the opinions of all my beloved ministers?"
Seeing Ruihua's eyes, Mu Yin immediately stepped forward and offered advice: "Jiangxi Governor Jiang Zhongyuan is good at fighting and can appoint him as Anhui Governor. With Jiang Zhongyuan's skills, he will definitely be able to protect Anhui!"
Xianfeng said with concern: "But who will take over the governor of Jiangxi?"
Su Shun said: "Zeng Guofan of the Hunan Army was brave enough to do things. The difficulty was that he was good at fighting. The warriors under his command were the only army that had defeated thieves in a row. As long as he was in Jiangxi, short-haired would definitely not get any benefits."
Since he became suspicious of Zeng Guofan, Xianfeng has been very alert to the Hunan Army and rejected: "Hunan Governor Luo Bingzhang, Hubei Governor Hu Linyi, and the new Anhui Governor Jiang Zhongyuan are all familiar with Zeng Guofan. They are either students or subordinates. At that time, the Hunan Army will not lose its sternness, so why wouldn't it be a disaster?"
Su Shun lamented in his heart, it was not that Zeng Guofan didn’t help you, but that you were too famous and the emperor was afraid of you.
Prince Gong Yi said: "Jiangsu governor Chen Chimai is a man who recommended him as the governor of Jiangxi. Moreover, he worked as an editor in the Hanlin Academy, so he must be loyal to the emperor."
