Chapter 0119 annexation of Zhejiang(1/2)
In the room, Li Weiguo, Fu Shanxiang, Chen Ziyan and Su Sanniang sat around the table, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
After Chen Ziyan observed her expression, she suddenly blinked her eyes and suddenly shouted: "Oh, it hurts so much."
The cry of pain broke the silence between the four people. Fu Shanxiang immediately stood up and said, "My husband, Sister Su must have something important to come to find you. I will take Sister Zi Yan to apply some medicinal wine first."
"Okay," Li Weiguo nodded, reached out and patted Shen Ziyan's buttocks hard, and said, "I dare to climb the corner again in the future, let's see how I will deal with you as a husband."
"Ah" Chen Ziyan screamed in surprise, and immediately shyly, glared at Li Weiguo fiercely, and said dissatisfiedly: "You have to care, I haven't married yet."
"How dare you talk back?" Li Weiguo suddenly glared, and Chen Ziyan was so scared that she pulled Fu Shanxiang and ran out like a frightened little white rabbit.
There were only Li Weiguo and Su Sanniang in the room, and the atmosphere became ambiguous again for a moment.
Unable to stand Li Weiguo's aggressive gaze, Su Sanniang immediately said coquettishly: "If you are like this, I will leave."
"How am I?" Li Weiguo asked knowingly and smiled with a shameless smile.
Su Sanniang opened her red lips slightly and wanted to speak, but her face suddenly turned red, obviously feeling ashamed and unable to speak. She immediately stood up, stomped her feet, and turned around and was about to leave.
Li Weiguo hurriedly grabbed her and said with a smile: "Sister, don't leave, business matters are important, business matters are important."
Su Sanniang had no choice but to have such a shameless younger brother, so she could only accept her fate. Thinking that the important thing was important, she sat down again.
"I just received information from Guiren Lan, and Sushun and others proposed that Zhejiang Governor He Guiqing be the governor of Liangjiang. Although Yixin opposed it, Xianfeng had already moved. Lord Li quickly make an idea."
Su Sanniang said seriously, changing the name of Li Weiguo to Lord Li, indicating that she was angry.
Li Weiguo was naturally serious when talking about serious matters and said, "I finally drove Yiliang and Jierhanga away. Now I want another He Guiqing. Sushun has so many people under his command."
Seeing that Li Weiguo was serious and felt a little relieved, Su Sanniang naturally wanted to help him with advice. So she said, "He Guiqing is now the governor of Zhejiang and has been in office for less than a year. According to normal promotion, she will also be moved to the governor of another party in two years. I have two strategies here, do you want to hear it?"
Li Weiguo immediately said: "Sister, please come and listen."
Su Sanniang paused and said, "Chi Yi. When the imperial court issued a clear order to appoint He Guiqing as the governor of Liangjiang, he could send someone to kill He Guiqing in Zhejiang Province. Even if the people from the imperial court suspect you, there is no evidence."
Li Weiguo thought for a while and said, "It will take several months for the imperial court to send another person to treat the symptoms but not the root cause."
Su Sanniang nodded and said, "Ce Er, be prepared to let He Guiqing come to Shanghai to serve as the governor of Liangjiang. Secretly undermine him, and you will exercise the power of the governor of Liangjiang."
Li Weiguo's eyes lit up immediately. He grabbed Su Sanniang's jade hand and said happily: "I didn't expect that my elder sister is so smart."
Su Sanniang was embarrassed and hurriedly pulled back her jade hand, and said coquettishly: "I'm not honest, do you want to ask for a fight?"
"Sister, don't be angry, am I happy?" Li Weiguo immediately pretended to be scared and was full of quibbling.
Su Sanniang was also used to Li Weiguo's eating her tofu, and she was "repeated and unchanged" to Li Weiguo. Su Sanniang was helpless. She was a knife-like mouth and a tofu heart. She couldn't really beat Li Weiguo, she couldn't beat him.
Besides, for Li Weiguo, even if he beat him up, it may not work.
There is no way, who made our Li Weiguo's face thicker than the city wall
Su Sanniang gave Li Weiguo a blank look and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Li Weiguo thought for a while and said, "According to the elder sister's wishes, how about secretly undermining He Guiqing?"
"You decide for yourself." Su Sanniang immediately stood up, threw down this sentence and left without looking back.
Li Weiguo smiled bitterly. This elder sister has a very bad temper. The key is that Su Sanniang's military power is too high, and Li Weiguo is not sure to force her down, so he can only go through a curve and push down the policy.
However, it seems that the policy of this curve overturning is not very effective yet.
There are three beautiful women in the family. At present, Li Weiguo has only pushed Fu Shanxiang down. Although Chen Ziyan can be pushed down at any time, unfortunately Li Weiguo cannot do that. He is not a promiscuous person. He has to worry about Chen Ziyan's own feelings and must let Chen Ziyan's father nod. Otherwise, even if she marry Chen Ziyan, she will be sad because her father refuses to attend her wedding.
"Old Master Shen is really, he is such a stubborn old man. It seems that he has to spend some effort on him."
Thinking of this, Li Weiguo immediately called Mingyue in and ordered her to send someone to spread Wu Yong over.
Soon, Wu Yong came, worshipped Li Weiguo, and sat down with the host and host.
Li Weiguo first told Wu Yong about the information brought by Su Sanniang to listen to his opinions.
This is respect for Wu Yong and Li Weiguo's way of doing things. Listen to other people's suggestions more, you will have good ideas.
Wu Yong thought for a while and said, "It is appropriate to adopt the strategy of undermining He Guiqing. It can not only prevent the court from suspicion of the adults, but also delay the adults' actual control over Jiangnan Province."
"But what?" Li Weiguo saw that Wu Yong had something to say, so he asked, "Let's listen, just say it."
Wu Yongxu said: "He Guiqing is not an easy person, and it is not an easy thing to underestimate him. If you are not careful, the court will still know the adult's thoughts and will be burdened by him."
Li Weiguo nodded and said, "That's right, if Xianfeng knows about the fact that the governor of Liangjiang is undermined by me, then there is no need to ask, Xianfeng will definitely go to war with me."
Wu Yong said: "If you want to undermine He Guiqing, you must first remove the direct forces around He Guiqing, because once He Guiqing takes over as the governor of Liangjiang, he will inevitably bring a group of confidants. This is something that the adults must remove."
Li Weiguo thought for a while and said, "He Guiqing is now the governor of Zhejiang. Those people he brought to Zhejiang before must be confidant. I will ask SHIELD to send someone to Hangzhou secretly and cut them off one by one."
"This is not enough," Wu Yongxu said: "He Guiqing is also an old fox. If he saw that his confidants were killed, he would not have expected that it was the secret of the Lord. After all, the last time the Lord destroyed Yiliang and Jierhanga had already made Sushun Group alert. They would not have expected that He Guiqing, who would have done the same trick against He Guiqing this time, would definitely be guarded against him. If I were him, I would never come to Shanghai. It would be enough to directly point fingers at the Lord as the Governor of Liangjiang in Hangzhou. Why do you have to come to Shanghai to take risks?"
"What you said makes sense." Li Weiguo frowned and asked, "What about you in your opinion?"
Wu Yong smiled and said, "Isn't sir planning a large-scale military operation now? That's the best cover."
Li Weiguodao: "You are not talking about the plan to annex Zhejiang Province, right?"
"Yes," Wu Yong touched his beard. The old god smiled and said, "The Taiping Army captured Hengzhou Prefecture, Zhejiang Province. As the imperial envoy of Jiangdong and Jiangnan Camp, there is enough reason to send troops to Zhejiang Province. As long as the adult annexes Zhejiang Province with lightning speed and achieves temporary military control, he will go to Hangzhou to directly control He Guiqing. Within three years, the adult secretly used He Guiqing's seal to serve He Guiqing as the governor of Liangjiang. Three years later, if the court replaces people, the adult will arrange an accident for He Guiqing and make him lose him."
Li Weiguo nodded. After Wu Yong's detailed planning, the entire plan to undermine He Guiqing seemed to be seamless, but Li Weiguo did not forget to tease him: "I didn't see that the sir's methods have become more and more ruthless recently."
Wu Yong was stunned at first, then he burst into cold sweats all over his body, and hurriedly bowed to Li Weiguo to the end, and said nervously: "Sir, forgive me, too, the humble position."
Li Weiguo hurriedly helped Wu Yong up and comforted him, "I know I didn't blame you for my good first. I'm just a joke. Don't take it to heart first."
Wu Yong stood up and peeked at Li Weiguo, thinking that he really didn't mind at all? This is completely different from his style. It clearly means knocking and warning.
Now that I have such thoughts, I am indeed the hero of the future
Wu Yong was both nervous and happy in his heart. What was nervous was that he would have to be careful in front of Li Weiguo in the future. This was the legendary companion of the king and was like a companion of the tiger, and he did not dare to show a little suspicion of the master devouring. What he was even happier was because he felt that Li Weiguo was a hero, and now he showed the scheming and IQ that was necessary to achieve hegemony. He would have more hope in the future.
The two ministers had their own thoughts and combined the plan to undermine He Guiqing and annex Zhejiang Province into one, and took action quickly.
At the end of the fourth year of Xianfeng, Li Weiguo ordered Jiangdong and Jiangnan camps to be on strict alert, and went 150 miles ahead to closely monitor the movements of the Taiping Army in the direction of Tianjing.
At the same time, Li Weiguo ordered Su Sanniang to lead 15,000 Shanghai infantry to set off from Songjiang Prefecture and enter Zhejiang Province through Jiaxing Prefecture. Li Weiguo personally led the main force of the East China Sea Fleet to enter Taihu Lake from Wusong River, and directly to Hangzhou via the Su-Hangzhou Canal.
The Shanghai army advanced along the water and land, under the banner of attacking the Taiping Army in Zhejiang, in fact, it was a false way to attack Guo. Wherever the Shanghai army passed, all counties implemented military control, and local Qing troops and local regiments trained armed forces, sealed the treasury money and grain, closed the city gates, and imposed a curfew to prevent any news from spreading.
At this time, He Guiqing, the governor of Zhejiang in Hangzhou Prefecture, already knew that Li Weiguo led his army into Zhejiang. Although he was suspicious, he had no reason to stop it. After all, Li Weiguo is now the only imperial minister south of the Yangtze River, responsible for the suppression of the Taiping Army. However, the Taiping Army invaded Hengzhou Prefecture, Zhejiang, and He Guiqing was unable to recover the lost territory, so he could only watch Li Weiguo lead his army to come.
Li Weiguo led the main force of the East China Sea Fleet and entered Zhejiang through the Su-Hangzhou Canal. No one dared to stop him along the way. In less than three days, he arrived directly under the city of Hangzhou.
At the Shuiguan Wharf in the north gate of Hangzhou City, He Guiqing led officials from Zhejiang Province and Hangzhou Prefecture to line up to greet him.
When I saw the fleet led by Li Weiguo, the huge hull was densely covered with black cannons, and the majestic aura immediately shocked everyone and then excited.
In the crowd, passers-by said, "I heard that this is the East China Sea Fleet."
Passerby B asked: "Isn't this the navy?"
Passerby said, "What do you know? I haven't seen that these are all Western warships? So they are called fleets, not naval commanders, just like Westerners."
At this time, passerby B interrupted and said, "Isn't this Li Weiguo an official of the Qing Dynasty? Why do you want to buy Western warships? Are Western warships more powerful than our Qing Dynasty warships?"
Passerby Jia snorted coldly and said, "You are so stupid. You haven't seen that the size of this Western warship is several times larger than that of our Qing warship. Have you seen that the cannons on the Western warship have dozens of more than those on the Qing warship? If you fight like this, who do you think is powerful? Isn't this an obvious thing? You still need to ask?"
Passerby Yi was immediately embarrassed, and snorted and stopped.
At this time, a first-class battleship was approaching the dock, which was the flagship that Li Weiguo was riding on.
The gangway was lowered, and a team of Shanghai soldiers came down first, with both sides on guard.
Then, surrounded by a group of Shanghai generals, Li Weiguo slowly walked down the gangway and came to the dock and stopped.
Seeing that Li Weiguo was so far away, He Guiqing sighed helplessly, although he was also a governor of a province. Unfortunately, Li Weiguo had the title of imperial envoy on his head. Seeing that he was a senior official, He Guiqing had to lead officials from Zhejiang Province and Hangzhou Prefecture to take a few more steps forward and come to greet him.
"He Guiqing, the governor of Zhejiang Province and Hangzhou Prefecture, led all officials from Zhejiang Province and Hangzhou Prefecture to welcome the imperial envoy."
Li Weiguo looked at He Guiqing for a while and saw that he was chubby and looked pretty good. So he smiled and said, "Mr. He should be polite, please don't give me a gift, please don't give me a gift."
He Guiqing and a group of officials immediately stood up, He Guiqing sneered and said, "I am not polite to Lord Li, but to respect you as the imperial envoy."
Bad tone
Li Weiguo snorted coldly. Since He Guiqing is so disrespectful, he doesn't have to be polite to him.
"Mr. He said that since it is a business, the official will ask Mr. He, what are you doing for? What crime should you be guilty of losing Hengzhou Prefecture?"
"You" He Guiqing was tempted by his old age. He thought that he would squeeze Li Weiguo out of his words. Fortunately, he showed his strength in front of the officials, but he didn't expect that Li Weiguo was also sharp-tongued and could not come to Taiwan with just one sentence.
He Guiqing calmed down and said, "I am really responsible for the loss of Hengzhou Prefecture, but I am not responsible. Are you Lord Li not responsible? What is your Jiangnan camp doing to let the rebels go south. You Lord Li cannot escape the blame,"
It was indeed an old fox, very calm, and he spoke without any leakage.
Li Weiguo smiled and said, "There are many rebels. Our Shanghai army has limited troops, so it is normal for us to not be able to defend ourselves. Now I am leading the army to come. I hope Lord He will cooperate more and not delay the major event of the bandit suppression."
He Guiqing said: "That's nature"
In the eyes of others, the conversation between the two did not verbally take advantage of the other party. It was considered a draw in the first game.
However, He Guiqing was shocked. He was an old fox in his sixties who had been invading the officialdom for decades, but he could not say that a young man who seemed to be only fifteen or sixteen and had just entered the officialdom for a few years was his failure, which was regarded as a shame by him.
No wonder Lord Sushun wrote to him that he should beware of this Li Weiguo. It seems that this Li Weiguo is indeed very powerful, no wonder Lu Jianying and Yiliang were handed over to him one after another.
He Guiqing was wary of his heart. He originally planned to receive the imperial edict from the court and set off for Shanghai. Now he immediately gave up that idea and stay in Hangzhou for the time being. It is not safe to go to Shanghai.
However, He Guiqing would never have thought that Li Weiguo and Wu Yong had already arrived at him, the old fox, did not dare to go to Shanghai, so he took the initiative to come to Hangzhou.
