... Cai Ni's failure to annihilate the captured men was actually due to the lack of strength of the warships and the lack of relief. The boat the minister took was the largest compared to the towns, and when he approached the boat, it was still five or six feet lower. Zeng and the generals of the three towns Bingyuan raised money in advance to donate money to build the big ship No. 15, but the governor thought that it would take several months to build the ship, so he borrowed as much as 40,000 to 50,000 yuan and refused to pay. Moreover, the pirates never left a ship without repairing it for two years, or even one for a year. Indestructible pole material. If the mast is broken, the ship will be useless, and if the wind awning is broken, it will be difficult to move. However, the rebels broke out at Lu'ermen, and only thirty ships were left. The awning was rotten and missing. Once back to Fujian, the awning was installed and washed. , brand new, with sufficient food and medicine, when will the thieves be exterminated?...

... Chang Geng was familiar with the situation on the island, the winds, clouds and sand lines. He held his own in every battle, and was inferior to those who were experienced in boating. He served in the army for two years and could not enter the country. He donated shipbuilding equipment and spent his family's money. All the prisoners captured were rewarded, and the soldiers Fight to the death. The thief said: 'We are not afraid of thousands of soldiers, but we are afraid of Li Changgeng.' He will be the first among all generals in the navy...

Soon after, Jiaqing's imperial case was placed with two memorials from Li Changgeng and Qing Antai. In addition, there was Yude's memorial to impeach Li Changgeng, and the march notes excerpted by Ruan Yuan. Jiaqing looked at the memorials in front of him. After reporting, it soon became clear who was the pillar of the East China Sea and who was the one who really delayed the war.

"Yade... As a high official in the border area, he is so stupid. How can he be the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang again!" Jiaqing also said angrily to several military ministers: "It has been seven years, and Yude has served for seven years. Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, it seems that I made the wrong choice! Cai Ni was on the sea rampage, did he ever win a battle? Why did Zhejiang's civil and military officials devote themselves to coastal defense, but he had so many reasons? Li Changgeng In the First World War in Taiwan, more than 70% of the pirate ships were burned, but he actually added insult to injury and said that Li Changgeng supported the military and respected himself? Such a mediocre person cannot be tolerated by the laws of nature! Now let the decree go down and remove all Yude's official positions. , and then ordered Li Changgeng to search Yu De's family property! He is so stupid. If he is corrupt, bends the law, and takes bribes privately, he will be killed directly in Fuzhou! There is no need to come back again! Li Changgeng is short of big ships, I This time I will also build forty ships for him, each with four cannons. If there are no big ships available for a while, I will also pay to help him hire merchant ships first. If he can win the battle, I will definitely use him!"

The four military ministers naturally saw clearly that Yude faced Cai Qian's attack on Taiwan and lost control of the situation. Jiaqing punished him so severely. It was Yude's own fault, so he immediately accepted the order. Soon, Jiaqing issued another edict, The governor of Fujian, Li Diantu, was weak and could not correct his mistakes, so he removed all his posts and restored Li Changgeng to wear Hualing. Later, Jiaqing also considered that Kavalan was important in Taiwan and should not just let the indigenous people claim it. The Kavalan Hall was placed under the jurisdiction of the central government of the Qing Dynasty, and Kavalan gradually became today's Yilan. The Qing Dynasty's eastward advance in Taiwan also began during the Jiaqing Dynasty.

After Li Changgeng received the edict in Fujian, he immediately led his troops to the Governor-General's Office of Fujian and Zhejiang. After reading the edict, he ordered his subordinate soldiers to pick off jade hats and wear them. Then Chen Buyun ordered his men to go to the Governor's Mansion to seize the Yude family property. Chang Geng usually controlled his troops very strictly, so the soldiers were ordered in an orderly manner, but they did not destroy any property in Yu De Mansion.

However, Yu De had been in the feudal state for more than ten years, and all his official positions were deprived of his official position, and his family property was confiscated, and the person who was ordered to act was none other than the discordant Li Changgeng. Thinking of this, how could Yu De not be angry, so he also turned to Li Changgeng. Chang Geng smiled and said: "Huh, Admiral Li, are you satisfied this time? A governor and a governor were both dismissed from office because of your memorandum. Huh, from now on, this Fujian Green Camp will be your world, General Li." Well, I congratulate you!"

"Yude, you and I have no personal grudges. I was rude to the emperor. I only informed him of the details of Fujian and did not say that I would remove you from your official position. As for the emperor's other edicts, I don't know about them, so I can only act according to his orders." Li Changgeng saw it.

Yude was no longer the governor, so he only called him by his first name, saying: "But you have been the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang for seven years. You know what you are like patrolling the sea and suppressing thieves! How many times have our troops

The encirclement and suppression of Cai Qian was almost successful, but when was it not because of your constraints in Fujian that our navy just returned without success? Cai Ni has been running amok so far, don't you have no responsibility?"

"Li Changgeng, you said I have a responsibility, so can you do better than me in the position of governor?" Yu De was still dissatisfied and said: "Fujian has been in deficit for many years, and I have been in office for seven years to make up for it.

Less than half of the vacancies have been filled, and the government is in such dire straits. How can you ask me to raise money for you to wipe out Cai Ni? I have been governor for more than ten years. I know what this officialdom is like, and I know much better than you, a military attache! Do you think Fujian

As it is now, is it all my fault?"

"Yade, you have fallen into this situation today because you are mediocre and cowardly. You don't know how to make a difference. You only know how to be kind. If officials from Fujian and Zhejiang are like you, then naturally they won't change in a hundred years!" Li Changgeng looked at it.

Yude was quibbling, but he didn't feel angry in his heart, so he said: "I am an official outside, and I have heard that you and other Fujian officials, big and small, don't want to make progress. Anyone who makes a difference will be shunned by you and others. Corruption and bribery are common at all levels.

If you accept bribes, it will be all about worldliness, and there will be no state affairs at all! If this is the case, then even if all the officials in Fujian are replaced, I think it will be a good thing!"

"Corruption? Bribery? You mean bribery?" Unexpectedly, when Li Changgeng said this, Yu De laughed and said: "Okay, you said I was corrupt and violated the law, then my family property is here today, you can check it, you can check it!

If my family's property is greater than that of an ordinary governor, you can accuse me of corruption! When the time comes, I will go to the court of justice myself, and you don't need to do anything to me!"

"Bu Yun, how much of Yude's family property have been found?" Li Changgeng asked immediately.

"Sir, there is silver and money in Yude Mansion, and we have already sealed it." Chen Buyun heard Li Changgeng's question and quickly came back to answer: "We can't calculate the specific amount of silver now, but we can make a rough estimate.

After taking a look, I found that the current silver and coinage are about 40,000 to 50,000 taels, and the rest of the family property, which is now counted, is probably about this amount."

Hearing this, Li Changgeng was surprised. Yude has been the governor and governor for more than ten years. Even if he only counts the annual income from raising money, he can get about 15,000 taels a year. If Yude's entire family property

It's only a few hundred thousand taels. Even if Yude can't be called honest, he is still not a corrupt official, at least not a huge corrupt official.

"Haha, Li Changgeng, have you seen it?" Yude was angry and sad, but he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "No matter how much you check my family's property, it is only about one hundred thousand taels. I have been the governor for ten years.

, a hundred thousand taels is nothing? Haha, I won’t hide it from you, I have accepted the generous gifts, and I have not returned the filial piety from the officials below, but what are they enough for? In order to make up for the loss of money and food, I have to pay for it every year

You've spent thousands of taels of silver to support your integrity! If you think that if you steal my governor's house, you will be able to go anywhere in the sea from now on, you are wrong! Forget it, I lost today anyway. If you are still thinking about what I didn't allow you to do before joining the army.

, If you want to put me to death, you can double my family property and repay it to the emperor, and then let the emperor grant me a death! How about that result, are you satisfied?"

"Yade, let me say it again, I have no personal grudges with you." Li Changgeng also calmed down and said: "I will report to the emperor how much property you have here, and I will never report more than one cent. As for you in Beijing,

, the property in other places will also be counted one by one. When the time comes, I can’t decide what crime the emperor wants to convict you of. All I can do is report it truthfully."

"Huh, Li Changgeng, if that's the case, you still have some loyalty. Then let me tell you the truth, none of the big and small officials in Fujian like people like you! Do you think you can defeat Cai Cai if I leave?

Oh, that's absolutely impossible! When the time comes, just see how the other officials in Fujian treat you!" Yude knew that he probably had no hope of recovery, but he still refused to accept it and said to Li Changgeng.

"Okay, then I'll wait for them too!" Li Changgeng said coldly.

In just one month, the inventory of Yude's family property was completed and finally reported to Jiaqing. However, it turned out that Yude's family property was only more than 100,000 taels. Yude's income from raising Lian Yin alone was enough to reach the number of times. Although Yude had promised to collect

However, there was no clear evidence of bribery, and Jiaqing could not convict Yude of death. After much deliberation, Jiaqing chose to deal with it leniently, temporarily confiscating Yude's family property, and sending Yude to garrison in Xinjiang. If Yude could still return

In the Central Plains, they would discuss whether to return the family property. Later, Jiaqing thought of Li Changgeng's hard work in the long war, revoked all his previous punishments, and returned Li Changgeng's Dai Hualing.

The newspaper in Beijing was delivered very quickly, but within half a month, Ruan Yuan learned about Yude's dismissal from office. He remembered that he and Qing'an Taishang were sparse before. Although it might be just the last straw, it also made Jiaqing completely dead to Yude.

For a moment, I had mixed feelings in my heart. Thinking about Yu De's resignation this time, Li Changgeng thought that he would have nothing to worry about. But he also regarded Yu De as a good friend in poetry and prose. It would not be like his friends to ruin his reputation in this way.

But at this time, my leg disease had not healed, and I would experience severe pain from time to time, so I had to stay in bed and read, waiting for changes in the external situation. While studying this day, I felt another severe pain in my right leg, and I couldn't bear it.

Stop shouting out.

"Telling you to show off, telling you to show off!" Kong Luhua looked at Ruan Yuan's pained expression, and while pressing his legs, she complained: "How can you say that this strict person is like you? I don't usually write

Books are just compiling books, and I don’t care about anything. Now I’m fine, I can’t walk anymore!” Seeing Ruan Yuan still holding on to the book in his hand, he simply took the book over and put it aside, saying

: "You should have a good rest today and you are not allowed to read anymore!"

"Madam, this... if you don't let me continue reading, won't my legs hurt even more?" Ruan Yuan said with a bitter smile: "Look at this "Nine Kingdoms", I heard its name when I was a child, but I have never seen it.

It’s not included in the Siku, so I finally have time to read it. Why do you insist on taking it away? Besides, it was because my father-in-law mentioned in a letter to me that there are still manuscripts in Confucius’ house, so I was able to read it.

Yes, madam, why are you having trouble with your own book?"

"If you...had known this, I wouldn't have asked dad to send you books." Kong Luhua said: "Also, those pictures and tablets you mentioned earlier, hand over everything you are doing. Recently

If I see you editing a book again in a month, don’t go out!"

"Of course, madam, you don't know that there are people out there who want to compile these books with me." Ruan Yuan said with a smile: "The Zhongjia wife family is the Wang family in Zhenjiang, and there is a descendant named Wang Yu in their family.

I am very interested in the book repair business. Before I got sick, he had been asking me if I could study the "Stele Edition" with him. Now it's fine. He has taken over all the book repair work. Madam

, the Wang family has now crossed the river, and is said to have settled in Guazhou. The scenery at home is the most beautiful, and many of the women in the Wang family are talented poets. If Madam has some free time in the future, I will also tell Zhong Jia and let him take you.

How about going to Wang’s house to have some fun?”

"Master, you are so ill now, and you still ask me if I have any free time? You..."

"Okay, okay, I can rest in peace and recuperate, okay?" Seeing that Kong Luhua was really unhappy, Ruan Yuan had no choice but to offer words of comfort.

However, at this time, Jiang Er suddenly came from outside and said: "Master, Master Jiao and Master Jiang Fan are here. They said that the master has invited them to talk about Confucianism today. This... master is still going over?" He looked at Ruan Yuan.

Feeling unable to get up, Jiang Er hesitated for a long time.

"It's okay, Jiang Er, bring my cane and help me over," Ruan Yuan said.

"Master..." It seemed that Kong Luhua was even more dissatisfied this time.

"Madam, please don't worry. I asked Jiang Er to prepare it. I specially prepared a couch in the study room. I will lie down on the couch during today's sermon. I can't promise to get up. How about it?" Ruan Yuan saw that something was wrong and said
