Chapter 25 Strategy

Qinglian first fell down, and then said, "You are polite. I was born in a prison student and I was not on the right path. But the emperor saw that I was a loyal servant in the world and was quite capable of doing things, so he rewarded me for being a simple and open-minded Zhejiang. You are a Jinshi from the Second Class, and you are not sure how many times better than me."

Yu Shufeng did not take Qinglian's polite words seriously: "Yunshu, you often walk around the Emperor. Not only do you often enjoy the grace, but you also know the military skills. Although I am from the second grade, I am counting in the order of the rankings, and I almost fell into the same Jinshi."

He was a second-class Jinshi in the ninth year of Daoguang, but his rankings were reversed, and he almost fell to the third-class. However, everyone present would not regard this as Yu Daotai's truth, and ranked second-class. The fact that he was given a Jinshi was the most proud thing in Yu Shufeng's life.

"Since Yu Tai wants to drive the ducks on the shelves, I have been a parent official in Wen Department for more than ten years, so I will just talk casually!" Qinglian's tone became stern: "The first priority is to combat thieves, and I am raising courage!"

"In the past, the sanctions of the seven provinces were pacified, and the country was victorious in the local bravery and local bravery. The bandits were promising to promote chaos. The best way for the local bravery is to recruit more local bravery."

His words were filled with praise, not because of the right or wrong strategy, but because there is a lot of money to make.

If we are in terms of the number of troops, the general of Wenzhou Town was under the jurisdiction of 8,800 Green Camp soldiers. Although there were many vacant quotas, it was more than enough to use them to pacify the hasty civil unrest such as the Red Turban Army. Usually, they often recruited Fujian brave men and local brave men, and their theoretical strength was more than 10,000.

But recruiting bravery is a big profitable thing. No one will be honest and full. You can take the opportunity to take advantage of the empty quota. In the past, Qinglian was a very conscientious person in charge of Wen Chudao. He only recruited 100 brave quotas. The Taotai Yamen only took away ten empty quotas, and everyone will share the remaining empty quotas. As long as you don’t do too much, there are actually fifty or sixty brave quotas in the hundred brave quotas, Qing Taotai will turn a blind eye.

Besides, in addition to the vacancy, there are also many other items such as installation fees, machinery and distribution fees that can be used. The officials present all felt that Qinglian was indeed a worldly and understood the people's hearts best.

"The second important task is to raise funds. The grandson said that if the army has no baggage, it will be destroyed. The newly recruited township tycoon needs tens of thousands of gold every month. If the troops are in charge of war, they also need to use silver. Therefore, we should persuade more donations and set up more committee members to strive for abundant food and salary."

As soon as he heard this, Yu Shufeng felt particularly enthusiastic: "The Yunshu Department said it very well. If the army has no baggage, it will be destroyed. Raising funds is the most important thing."

He is Wen Chudao, who took office this year. He spent 11,000 taels of silver for this Taoist platform. Before taking office, he borrowed 7,000 taels of silver from the Shanxi merchants. Although he had sacked a lot of land, he only paid back 3,000 taels of silver from the Shanxi merchants in addition to paying interest, and owed 4,000 taels of silver from the Taoist platform.

He was thinking about making money by famous people. Qinglian's words were simply a god-given opportunity. The officials below also cheered: "Yunshu is indeed a long-term strategy!"

Raising funds is not only profitable, but also taking the opportunity to set up institutions and place old fellow villagers, and setting up big names and expanding wealth. Who doesn’t agree with this proposition?

Yu Shufeng added: "Caiping funds is important, you should use good people."

What is a good man? Naturally, he is his caring person. He is determined to catch the fundraising matter, but Qinglian did not reveal it: "The third priority is to ask soldiers and pay. Fuzhou, Hangzhou, and Ningbo must do their business in a comprehensive manner."

Fuzhou is the governor of Zhejiang and Jiangxi, while Hangzhou has Zhejiang Governor, Governor, Censor, School Government and other masters. Ningbo is the governor of Zhejiang, which is in charge of the green camps in the province.

Qinglian said that these three places must be handled in a comprehensive manner, and emergency memorials for asking for soldiers and pay must not be missing, and the usual Bing Jing Tan Jing must not be missing. We must be consistent and promote and make money together.

If the military service can be received at that time, the Red Enemy will still be powerful, which is a crime of war. If the Red Enemy can be suppressed, it will be a common cause for Zhejiang and Fujian, and the governors and the governors will all make great achievements.

If the military pay is not received and the Red Enemy is successful, it is not a crime of war. If the Red Enemy can be eliminated, it is a matter of loyalty to Wen Chu, and his civil and military officials, Gong Zhong, are vigilant and vow to fight the thieves to the death, and they all have wonderful achievements.

Everyone present nodded repeatedly and thought to himself: "No wonder the Qingyun Department will be successful every step of the way. Although he is a supervisor, he can become a senior member of the province."

In history, Qinglian was also an expert in promotion and wealth. He was promoted to Zhejiang's governor in the seventh year of Xianfeng, and even reached the top in the tenth year of Xianfeng, becoming the governor of Henan.

However, although he could make money, he could neither fight nor govern the people. At that time, the Nian Army was spreading across Henan. As the governor of Henan, Qinglian was helpless and missed the military opportunity. Instead, he continued to participate in the Henan governor and was eventually demoted to the governor of Jiangxi.

When he was in office as the governor of Jiangxi, he became an expert in making money because he was also the chief executive of the Hunan Army's ration station under Zeng Guofan. However, he made too much money. As a result, someone was interested in finding out several corruption cases during the governor of Zhejiang, and was ordered to retire early.

But he always has some level of money in addition to making money, and mentioned the fourth important task: "The fourth important task is to quickly send generals to command troops north across the Oujiang River and pacify the Red Invaders!"

Logically, this matter is Yu Shufeng and Yu Daotai's job. As a soldier, he had to lead his troops to recover Lecheng as soon as possible. However, he and everyone liked to be promoted and made money, but they did not like to rush to the death of the stern. He immediately turned around and asked, "What do you think Zhenjun?"

Ye Bingzhong, the acting general of Wenzhou, usually wished to take away his title with the word "Agent". Now he has changed his speech: "I should have led the troops across the river personally, but the county city defense is the most important, and I dare not leave without permission. I am just a seal protector. I know nothing about the situation in Wenzhen and dare not make any mistakes."

Although Ruichun, the governor of Wenzhou, was from the Eight Banners of Meng, was not a person who could make decisions. When he saw the Yunsi, Daotai, and Zhenjun, he took the opportunity to shirk his responsibilities, and saw everyone staring at him: "I am the same as the Zhenjun, a seal protector, and he dare not leave the county town without hesitation."

The ball was pushed back and forth, but finally pushed back to Yu Shufeng. He could only ask one question: "How is the deputy general Chi Jiangong?"

Qing Lian was appointed as Wen Dao for more than ten years and was very familiar with the situation in Wenzhou Town: "That was a veteran. When he was guerrilla, he defeated the British Yi in Dinghai. This time, the Red Invaders revived, and he recruited hundreds of brave men. He can be called the old Lianpo in Wen Town!"

"Very good!" Yu Shufeng immediately said: "Zhenjun, you can choose a strong general in the city guard camp and cross the river north with Deputy General Chi! Deputy General Chi recruits his own bravery and takes them together."

When the officials present were relieved when they saw that the fatal mission had been answered, they all breathed a sigh of relief and praised him: "The Movement Department can plan, the Daotai can be broken, and the Red Enemy can be settled just now."

But when everyone was in high spirits, they came to hear bad news: "My lords, my soldiers were not careful in firing artillery, and I missed the houses outside the Middle East Gate, burning dozens of shops and houses. Now I cried and shook the ground."

Everyone felt embarrassed. The pirate ship fired cannons but could only kill and injure several Green Camp soldiers, but the result of the excessive firing of this cannon was better than the number of pirate cannons.

However, Qinglian, as the highest official present, has already made a conclusion: "Nonsense! This is all caused by the excessive launch of artillery shells by thieves, and should not be misrepresented."

But soon after, bad news came: "Zifushan cannon cracked, and several soldiers were killed and injured, and four people were still burned to death in the city and six people were burned. The pirate boat heard that the cannon had fled, and our army had not been shot."

Qinglian had a conclusion: "Yes, when the pirate boat saw our soldiers and cannons bombarded, they fled in the wind. In order to avoid our cannons, countless pirate soldiers jumped into the river and drowned."

Yu Shufeng nodded and praised it. Everyone laughed, but Qinglian lost another piece on the chessboard: "Yu Dao, you lost this chessboard."

The Red Turban Army in Yueqing City knew nothing about these changes that occurred inside and outside Wenzhou City. They only knew that after this morning, the residents of Yueqing City became more awe of them.

That's the effect of hanging dozens of heads out, and they are no longer mud legs in Dongxiang Township.

But everyone was talking about a name in private, that is: "Liu Jiandian."

Sun Huzi has brought all the so-called "successful squads" with a total of seventeen people: "Precaution, these are all handed over the letter of apology. When the beheading, the whole city is applauding!"

Liu Chang knew that this might be the nationality that Chinese people are easy to watch, but if he went to the execution ground, there would still be ignorant and fearless people applauded. He glanced at the group of trembling former green camp soldiers: "You have all killed people, have you?"

The soldiers of the Green Camp immediately knelt down for Liu Chang, and kept kowtowing, saying repeatedly: "Please be merciful, be merciful, be merciful, be merciful, and other villains have submitted their letters of fame, and dare not have any other intentions!"

Liu Chang asked his subordinates: "How do you think this team of suicide squads should come in handy?"

The heads of the Green Camp soldiers were knocking more urgently and louder.
