Chapter 533 Awe-inspiring officialdom

Who among Zhang Jing and other officials in the Military Aircraft Department would dare to deal with such a major case involving life and death? They can only submit it to Zhang Zhidong.

They walked around in a long circle, spent several days trying hard, and broke their legs. It was just a red envelope for the doorman, which cost Nie Jiugui a lot of money, and he was so painful that he didn't want it.

The result was good, and the memorial still arrived on the desk of the Minister of Military and Aircraft Zhang Zhidong.

Speaking of Zhang Zhidong, it seemed that he was very efficient in his work. Early the next morning, Nie Jiugui was summoned directly from the post house to the military machine office.

Zhang Jing, a military aircraft who was much younger than Nie Jiugui, should only be a fourth-grade official. He was domineering and was ordered to reprimand the second-grade border official in front of him:

I asked you to suppress bandits, but you didn't do anything at all. But when you attacked the security forces of Fengzhong Mining Company, you acted very quickly!

They went all the way to Gannan to invest in mining, and also to generate revenue for the Qing Dynasty's treasury and to serve the Hanyang Arsenal. Moreover, it also increased Jiangxi's various taxes and mining rights transfer fees, didn't it allow the Jiangxi Governor's Yamen to gain a lot?

?Why are you boycotting?

What is even more shocking is that the Green Camp of the Qing Army brazenly ambushed the Fengzhong security forces without any notification, causing hundreds of casualties and undermining the entire anti-bandit operation in southern Jiangxi. This is an unforgivable crime.

The Minister of Military and Aircraft Zhang Xiangshuai had previously ordered Jiangxi Green Camp to assist the Fengzhong security forces in suppressing bandits, but the governor's office and other governors turned a deaf ear to it and openly defied it. What were their intentions?

The Military Aircraft Department needs a reasonable explanation from the Jiangxi Governor’s Yamen!

The regulations summarized by Zhang Jing, a military commander, were clear and well-founded, and his words were cadenced and impressive.

Nie Jiugui lowered his head and listened to the scolding, with cold sweat dripping from his head.

Those who are paralyzed and killed are all gangsters, okay? When did you become a member of the Fengzhong Mining security team?

However, the Green Camp of the Qing Army suffered thousands of casualties. The families of the dead officers and soldiers complained to the governor's yamen. They cried and knelt at the yamen gate every day, demanding that the yamen pay pensions, but they could not be fired away.

The government offices in Jiangxi are also extremely poor. They hold the steamed buns in their hands and there is not a drop of oil in the bowl. How can they have the money to pay out pensions?

It's really overwhelming at the official level.

Zhang Zhidong is now a bachelor of Tiren Pavilion, minister of military aircraft, Taibao of the crown prince, and a first-grade civil servant.

Most of the provincial governors were from the second rank, and Nie Jiugui was considered to be a senior official and was the second rank. Of course, in this situation, people dared to get angry but dare not speak out.

Damn it, this makes the evildoers complain first!

The ability to confuse right and wrong was finally seen. Green Camp just misjudged and killed more than 70 people on the other side, but they were all bandits in ragged clothes and not a single real security team member from Zhejiang Province.

However, the security forces of Fengzhong Company actually used artillery bombardment and killed nearly a thousand people in the Qing Green Camp. This is a fact.

Now, they come to the government office to demand an explanation. How shameless!

Nie Jiugui was completely out of temper, but he was unwilling to give in.

Just being scolded away by Zhang Jing, a military aircraft?

"The New Army of Zhejiang Province stretched its hand too far. Not only did it privately enter our territory in southern Jiangxi, it actually attacked the Green Camp of the Qing Army in our jurisdiction and even used large-caliber artillery. This is simply an act of rebellion.

!”

Nie Jiugui thought about it and felt that he could be justified. It was not Zhang Zhidong himself who was reprimanding him, so he defended loudly.

"But almost all the mines in southern Jiangxi have thirty-year mining rights bought by Fengzhong Mining Corporation for a huge amount of money. In other words, on this land, Fengzhong Company's management rights are sacred.

Infringement, they are protected by imperial law."

"The bandits are the public enemies of the majority of investors, businessmen and people in southern Jiangxi. In view of the fact that the government offices at all levels in Jiangxi are helpless against the bandits, Fengzhong Mining Corporation spent its own money to send security forces to suppress the bandits. Until then, the Military Aircraft Department also ordered you and others

Assist the security forces in suppressing bandits."

"But you did the opposite and carried out a wanton ambush on friendly forces, causing serious casualties and adverse effects on friendly forces, and also harmed the development of private capital investment in industry in the Qing Dynasty!"

This young fourth-grade military aircraft Zhang Jing has an outstanding theoretical level and eloquence, and he speaks plausibly.

"Those mining rights were sold by the former governor and chief envoy at a bargain price. At that time, only one type of tungsten ore was identified, said to be for the Hanyang Arsenal, but now...sigh...our Jiangxi governor's office has been executing the orders of the Military Aircraft Department.

The Green Camp was there to assist in suppressing bandits, and they were ambushing bandits, so how come they were attacked by fierce artillery fire from the security team?" Nie Jiugui explained aggrievedly.

Ten thousand grass and mud horses roared through my heart. Gannan can't even control the governor's office. Your military aircraft department is really telling lies!

In fact, none of the real Fengzhong security members who were killed in the Green Camp ambush were all hiding behind the surrendered bandits without even touching them.

However, Fengzhong Mining insists that it does!

"Nonsense, there is conclusive evidence that those so-called bandits had already surrendered at that time, and they were deceived by the Fengzhong Security Force into their subordinate units, which is equivalent to the official security force of Fengzhong Company. You are killing them indiscriminately.

What was the motive for shooting? Besides, they were mixed together at the time. Who among the Fengzhong security team said there were no casualties? There are photos to prove it!"

Military aircraft Zhang Jing immediately retorted and threw out a few photos from the case.

In the photo, dozens of people wearing security uniforms were lying in a pool of blood. The injured team members were receiving treatment with grimaces.

When Nie Jiugui saw this, his head went numb. Is this true or false? Did Yin Zhiping and the others lie?

He was unsure and became speechless for a moment.

The boss is angry and the younger brothers still talk back?!

Damn, I don’t want to live anymore?!

The military aircraft Zhang Jing curled his lips contemptuously and said in a deep voice: "Let's think about how to deal with the aftermath, Master Nie. Don't make the military aircraft department angry. You won't be able to eat and walk around."

Sure enough, as soon as the military aircraft Zhang Jing started to threaten, Nie Jiugui immediately gave up.

Paralyzed, the Military Aircraft Department has the power to remove governors and other foreign ministers by petition. If the edict comes down, it will be over.

According to the analysis of experience in the political and official circles of the past, every time before he was dismissed, the imperial court or the military aircraft department would first create a momentum to accuse him and accuse him. Within a day, the imperial edict or edict for his dismissal was issued.

Then...then sit down and deal with the aftermath quickly, that is, negotiate!



Young Gu Zhunian, on behalf of Fengzhong Gannan Mining Corporation, started negotiations with Xiao Xuan, the chief of staff of the Jiangxi governor, and Yin Zhiping, the admiral, in the meeting hall of the Military Aircraft Department.

Nie Jiugui did not participate this time. He could no longer afford to lose face.
