Gilhanga rushed to Pukou as fast as possible without stopping at any time. Except for a few checkpoints, he used his commercial pass from Beidaying to get past them.
However, the further you go, the more checkpoints there are, and the inspections become more stringent.
Finally, just as he was about to arrive at Pukou Camp, he was detained.
Because this place is already a military restricted area, but Gilhanga and the others don't know that, so they still want to use the pass just now to sneak in.
The soldiers guarding the checkpoint immediately saw the clues. There must be something wrong with this caravan.
If it were a caravan from Beidaying, it would be impossible for them to come to this restricted area. They all know the rules.
A Huai Haijun platoon leader in charge of the checkpoint quietly winked at the soldiers next to him, and immediately more than a dozen rifles were aimed at Gilhanga and his party.
Several masters in Gilhang'a's team prepared to resist, but were stopped by Gilhang'a. Now Gilhang'a could no longer hide, and his men couldn't kill all the sentinels at once.
The opponent's gun is already pointed at us. If there is a conflict, we may end up here.
After weighing the situation, Gilhanga decided to reveal his identity.
He felt that these Huai Navy soldiers were all from a poor background, and they were not allowed to kneel down to worship immediately after hearing his identity.
However, he didn't know much about the soldiers of the Huai Navy. These soldiers only had awe in their hearts for their superior officers and their president.
Only he had no respect for the Qing court.
Beidaying is already known as the elite of the Qing army. What is it like? The soldiers of the Huaihai Navy know very well.
Those military officers and servants are now doing business in Yangzhou. To say that these people are really good at doing business, I have to admire this. They have become Huaihai Company's underwriters all over the country.
As for the soldiers in the army who can really fight, they are now in the same camp with them. Since the Qing government has cut off their military pay. These people are not close confidants of the generals, so they can only work with the Huai Navy.
Some really capable people were recruited by the Huai Navy, while others were working on the construction site to build fortresses. At least the Huai Navy now paid them.
It's a joke for Gilhang'a to lead them to control the Huai Navy.
Therefore, after Girhanga revealed his identity, he did not receive any preferential treatment. Instead, he was monitored even tighter.
This matter soon reached Liu Qingnan's ears. After hearing what the sentry said, Liu Qingnan was happy. The Qing government was really interested in sending such a person to recruit Huai Haijun.
However, when people come, I always have to meet them, otherwise I will be looked down upon by this pure dog.
So Gilhang'a was brought up by the soldiers of the Huai Navy, and his followers were naturally imprisoned separately.
"Liu Qingnan, you are also the commander-in-chief of the imperial court. Why don't you bow to me when you see me?" Gilhang'a scolded him immediately after seeing Liu Qingnan.
"Oh, if you don't tell me, I forgot that I am still a commander-in-chief. I only know that I am the deputy commander-in-chief of the Huai Navy Army and a division commander." Liu Qingnan said playfully.
"I am the appointed governor of Jiangsu, acting as the governor of Liangjiang. From now on, you will also be under my control. I will not take your unreasonable behavior today seriously. Follow me and I will recommend you to be the admiral of Jiangsu. What do you think?
?Are you willing to obey my command?"
Liu Qingnan was almost amused by this Gilhanga.
He hadn't said much yet, but he had said a lot, but to Liu Qingnan, Gilhanga looked like a fool talking to himself.
"Oh, my lord, after all, you came here in a truck. The imperial ministers all carry eight sedans and beat gongs and drums. How do I know you are not a liar? So I'd better imprison you for a few days first, and then I will
You sent it to Yangzhou." Liu Qingnan said.
"You, you are really stubborn. I have the holy decree in my hand and the seal of the Governor's Palace. Is this really false?" Gilhanga said anxiously.
"Oh, it's useless what you said. I haven't seen a real imperial edict or printing." Liu Qingnan also became playful and answered him nonchalantly.
Gilhanga found that today he really said, "When a scholar encounters a soldier, he cannot explain his reasoning."
How could I meet such a stupid young person like you? Anyone with a little bit of brain would think about what would be more beneficial to his future.
"Wait a minute, Liu Qingnan, don't you know? Dong Shuheng is dead. Now follow me. I'll let you take over Dong Shuheng's position and continue to command the Huai Navy. How about that?" Seeing that he couldn't continue, Gilhang'a
You can only use your trump card.
"What, you cursed our president like this, I'll kill you!" These words were like poking a hornet's nest. Not only Liu Qingnan, but also the surrounding soldiers glared at him.
Everyone wanted to shoot this person who made such nonsense. In the Huaihai Navy, Dong Shuheng was the core of everyone. These former salt workers and refugees all followed Dong Shuheng before they had enough to eat and settled down.
Without Dong Shuheng, they may have to return to their previous living conditions. So even if Dong Shuheng takes them to rebel now, they will not hesitate at all.
After being in the military for so long, many people have learned a lot of words and understood more things, and they are no longer as ignorant as before.
But there are rules in the army after all. Others did not dare to act rashly, but Liu Qingnan took out his pistol and pointed it at Gilhang'a's head. Gilhang'a's fingers were so frightened that his fingers were shaking.
But he didn't seem to back down: "General Liu, please think clearly. I know that your father and brother are working in the Huaihai Navy. With my support, the Liu family will be recognized by the court and have a great name."
Points. Now that Dong Shuheng is gone, you will be able to take charge of the Huai Navy. Isn't that good?"
Seeing that his official position had no effect on Liu Qingnan, Gilhang'a turned to lure him to benefit.
What he said did have some effect, because the soldiers around him looked at Liu Qingnan, as if they would shoot him immediately if he agreed.
Maybe in a few years Gilhang'a's words like this will have some effect. But now, these soldiers and grassroots officers were brought out by Dong Shuheng himself, and they have extremely persistent worship of Dong Shuheng.
Not to mention Gilhanga, even if the emperor himself made a guarantee in front of them, it might not be effective.
"Fuck you!" Liu Qingnan really couldn't bear it this time and kicked Gilhang'a away.
This old boy was actually insulting his own character. How could he, Liu Qingnan, who was a dignified man, do such a treacherous and dirty thing?
If it weren't for Dong Shuheng, he would still be a guard on the caravan, how could he be where he is today.
The most important thing is that Dong Shuheng allowed him to do what he had always wanted to do.
Leading troops to fight, becoming a prince and becoming a prime minister, which man doesn't dream of this day?
"You... rebelled against you. Do you want to rebel? Liu Qingnan, do you want your Liu family to be confiscated and exterminated?" Gilhang'a cried out in pain. Liu Qingnan's kick just now was so hard that he almost almost
I'm going to kick his intestines out.
"I don't want to hear this old guy barking anymore. Take him down and send him to Yangzhou City overnight." Liu Qingnan ordered the soldiers around him.
The soldiers around were waiting for Liu Qingnan's words. Immediately, several soldiers came up and tied Gilhang'a tightly. One soldier even found a torn rag and blocked Gilhang'a's mouth.
As for what Gilhanga said about Dong Shuheng's death, no one took it seriously.
The president is young, has so many people protecting him, and is still in Yangzhou City. How could something happen?
Unless the headquarters issues a notice at this time, no one will believe what comes from the enemy. Do you really think that the soldiers of the Huai Navy are all ignorant and ignorant? The most ordinary soldier in the army has to master more than 500
Chinese characters and be able to recite military regulations.
Speaking of military regulations, one of them is that soldiers must follow the orders of their superiors and are not allowed to spread rumors of unknown origins or listen to rumors of unknown origins.
The next day, Hui'er finally woke up. The doctor had checked her out. As long as she could wake up, there would be no big problem. She just needed to take care of herself and she would be fine.
Dong Shuheng sent everyone out and stayed alone with Hui'er for a while. Hui'er was still a little out of energy. After the two chatted for a while, Hui'er looked tired.
Dong Shuheng could only ask Wei Yuzhen to come in and take care of her. Hui'er knew that Wei Yuzhen was taking care of her these two days, and she felt very grateful. The barriers that had been hidden in her heart were slowly being resolved.
Dong Shuheng returned to the Presidential Palace with his arms hanging. Huai Haijun was now on full-scale attack. All kinds of news gathered at the Presidential Palace, and there were still many important matters that he needed to make decisions on.
At this time, he really couldn't stay in the hospital anymore. He was only in the hospital because Hui'er hadn't woken up yet, and he felt uneasy.
"President, Gilhang'a was escorted to Yangzhou by Master Liu." Li Cunxun came over and reported, "Prime Minister Zeng asked how to deal with it."
"Isn't he the appointed governor of Jiangsu? Just find a courtyard inside the governor's office and lock him in it. Then put a sign at the door of the courtyard saying "Governor's Courtyard" and he will not be able to leave that courtyard in the future."
"In this way, we can give an explanation to the court, right?"
"Yes, President, my subordinates will go down and make arrangements immediately." Li Cunxun smiled and walked out of Dong Shuheng's office.
I have seen these little tricks of Xianfeng countless times in TV series and novels in later generations.
Therefore, Dong Shuheng was not happy to play tricks with them. In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy would be nothing more than a joke.
If someone like Gilhanga comes to your doorstep, of course he should stay and entertain you well.
What can Xianfeng do? Declare himself a traitor? Then he will rebel against him. Although it is not in line with his own plan, there is no such thing as an unchanging plan.
Dong Shuheng had thought about it, even if he rebelled now, he was sure that he would capture the capital within a month, destroy the Qing Dynasty, and then pacify the various forces in the current territory within two years.
By then, Britain, France and Russia will have finished fighting. Looking back, I will no longer worry about their joint intervention. Britain and France are beyond their reach.
Even if they face Russia, they still have a geographical advantage, and the long supply lines in Siberia will be able to bring Russia down.
Just like Russia used supply lines to bring down Napoleon. Fighting in the Far East, the Russians also faced the problem of supply lines.
In addition to their navy, Britain and France could not send much infantry to the east.
Besides, he can also cause trouble in India, the British base.
