Chapter 209: I promise I'm telling the truth
Li Zhushou, the "middleman", almost ran out of breath, and ran back and forth between Qingyuan County and Guangzhou City in one day, thanks to the fact that he was sitting in a stabilized version of the carriage that Li Shi had specially given him before, otherwise he would not be tired, and his bones would have fallen apart first.
Now that Guan Yuanzhong's general's mansion has become Yinzhen's "base", he no longer dares to change places. Guan Yuanzhong, Yang Lin, and even the political envoy and other high-level officials in Guangdong were there, waiting for the dust to settle on this matter, and hurriedly discussed an explanation.
Zhao Hongcan still did not come in person, and even the soldiers sent out before were brought back, in his opinion, the superintendent is now the only available mobile force in the whole of Guangdong, just throw it outside, in case the situation changes, and is disabled again, this province will be completely finished. Everyone only listened to half of this, and from beginning to end, this guy stood by and watched.
The officials were all discussing, and Li Zhushou quietly conveyed Li Shi's words to Yinzhen, and Yinzhen hurriedly went out of the room and discussed with Li Wei alone.
"Lord Wang, you must not talk! This is also sending a handle to that Li Shi! ”
Li Wei saw Li Shi's intentions at a glance, if Li Xi wants to rebel in the future, and Yinzhen has been in contact with him, what should he do?
"But my handle has already been delivered to him."
Yinzhen was very helpless, the rebellion of Guangxiao Temple, his customs defense and letters were lost, and the customs defense was secondary, but the handwritten letter to Wang Wenxiong was a big trouble. At this time, I thought that Yinzhen was about to regret even his intestines. I was already thinking about this, and after explaining to Li Wei that I would show the letter to Wang Wenxiong, I must get it back. Destroyed by his own hands. Li Wei took it back, but he was in a panic that night, but he forgot to burn it!
This handwritten letter is the evidence for mobilizing Wang Wenxiong, and the letter is similar to "according to my words, there will be great blessings", "you have to share great determination with me", and so on, but it is very taboo. He is a prince, and he can secretly mobilize the governor of a province to act, if Kangxi knows the roots, his first reaction is whether he can also mobilize the governor of the nine gates after Yinzhen says? Mobilize the guards and pro-army!?
originally thought that the achievement was a success, as long as it did not leave traces in Wang Wenxiong, this thing would never have happened, but he didn't expect such a fork. This letter is going to Kangxi, and in his life, I am afraid that he will have to stay with the second child.
Now that Li Shi is holding this handle, if he wants him to send another handle, Yinzhen has no choice. He was almost robbed by Li Xian before, what did he have at that time? Thanks to this Li Wei's courage and loyalty.
"Li Wei, I can trust you, you can go."
Yinzhen looked at Li Wei eagerly, but Li Wei shook his head again and again in fear, and Yinzhen thought that this was not a handle, but a fat meat. Li Shi probably already knew that this Li Wei was the mastermind of the whole thing, and if he sent Li Wei over, he would give him a head.
Is it worth it? Yin Zhen moved his mind, it doesn't matter if he sends a head, it just happens to kill his mouth, but after thinking about it again, Dai Duo and Monk Jialingyin were arrested, and Chang Zhen, who had no ability, but was still loyal, was also arrested, and Li Wei sent it again, and there was no one available around him, so he finally dispelled this idea.
"Send an honest and proper one, nothing ...... Associated people go for it. ”
Li Wei suggested this, Yinzhen understood it, and sent a microphone to find an opportunity to do it afterwards.
"Look at Li Xian, there is really no objection, as long as the prince forbears, if there are any conditions, he can make a fuss first......"
Then Li Wei helped Yinzhen plan, but thinking that he was actually pressed down by a small history, Yinzhen was still full of excitement.
"This king also has conditions! If he insists on oppression, this king Suo will expose his bottom and burn the jade with him! ”
He Yinzhen also has a blood surname, and he is a real man who stands up to the sky!
Li Xi knew that Yinzhen was a second, so he didn't force him to the end, only the two of them knew each other about the "deal" between him and Yinzhen, and even the Yinzhen family who came to negotiate accidentally "fell off the horse" and died a few days later.
In the end, this is the case, it is impossible to cover up the fact that Yinzhen came in a hurry, and it must be mentioned on the official face, which naturally also highlights his "great determination".
The Baihualou incident in Guangzhou City, originally thought it was big, but now it is a drizzle at all, anyway, Yinzhen and others did not show their heads in this matter, and those soldiers of the General's Mansion did not wear uniforms, and it was reported as "robbery by bandits and besieging the history of Nanhai County". In this matter, Li Xi was a good official who was loyal to his duties and hunted down dozens of thieves and bandits. There is no need to report this matter at all, but only follow the procedure from Li Shi to Nanhai County, all the way to Guangdong to press the procurator, and then the procurator will give a post to the Criminal Department.
The death of Admiral Wang Wenxiong was a priority report, and the first to send it off was Bai Daolong, the general soldier of Shaozhou. This guy used 800 miles to report the news that "Wang Wenxiong secretly entered the army to suppress thieves, was attacked and killed in Fogang, and Shaozhou Zhenbiao couldn't be rescued, so he only had time to collect the body" to Kangxi. Of course, he has to clear up his relationship, Zhou Ning's Zhongying banner can be played high, as for the promotion of the dead and injured family members, as well as the living generals, he can't care about any opinions on this statement. This ass has to be wiped by Guangdong officialdom, and even Li Shi helps wipe it.
Governor Zhao Hongcan, for the sake of safety, did not use his statement, but said, "Wang Wenxiong secretly entered the army, encountered a fierce battle with thieves, Shaozhou Town marked to help, Xu is flag is unknown, and there were accidental injuries, resulting in Wenxiong being injured and killed." ”
The town of Shaozhou and the governor were directly involved in this matter, and the reports of the others were based on the accounts of the two of them. Although the two statements are not exactly the same, Wang Wenxiong entered the army without authorization, but he sat down, and the responsibility was all put on the dead people, and at the same time, from Jieyang to Yingde Xianggang, there were indeed signs of a large number of bandits infested, and they were related, and this incident was an isolated incident and had nothing to do with Guangzhou. Of course, neither Yinzhen nor the Guangdong officials knew that those Jieyang bandits were the momentum made by Li Shi asking Meng Songjiang to contact his father Meng Kui, and posted a large area of bills to scare the magistrates, which was enough to make them so shocked that they even reported the bandits.
In order to appease the families of the dead and wounded officers and soldiers, Li Shi also had to bleed, and each of the deceased's families was given 100 taels of silver, which was given in one year. There are adult men and women in the family, Qingtian Company related industries solve a job, there are underage children, recruited into the school set up by Li Shi in Huizhou, Mongolian education, engineering, business, medicine, and there will be a job when they become adults. The injured are responsible for medical treatment and, if disabled, a job.
Counting the bereavement of the deceased, Li Xi will have to pay nearly 200,000 taels of silver in the next year, Gu Xiyi is complaining about Si Wei while dialing the abacus in Yingde, can't he be light?
200,000 taels of silver, almost half of Li Xi's current annual military maintenance expenses, but Li Xi felt that it was worth it, because such a "compensation plan" made his hand reach to Huizhou, and he also indirectly held the promotion, and he still made money.
Seeing that Li Shi threw a piece of fat out, Guan Yuanzhong, Yang Lin, and even Zhao Hongcan and the deputy general of the Shunde Association did not follow, and hurriedly reported the casualties on his side, and Li Xi also took it all, so the pension rose to 300,000 taels. But Li Shi was not stupid enough to give them directly, and gave another tenth as a hardship fee, and opened relevant schools in Guangzhou and Zhaoqing by the way. These schools are all run in the green camp, and they are not part of the local system, so naturally there is no place to check.
The matter was transferred to the Qingpu cargo station, this battle was full of artillery fire, and the war must not be covered, but how to say it, there are skills. After getting the manuscript of Guangdong officialdom on this matter, Li Xian couldn't help but think of Lao Mei's testimony in court in his previous life: "Tell the facts, only tell the facts, and tell all the facts known", if any of these three items is not done, the facts will change. Cantonese officials, no, it should be said that Manchu officials, and even all officials of the imperial era, in this regard, the ability is breathtaking.
The battle of Qingpu originated from the strict investigation of His Royal Highness Prince Yong, and it was found that some Nanyang merchants colluded with Yangyi to set up smuggling points at Qingpu Cargo Station for profit. His Royal Highness Prince Yong was resolute and resolute, and the Guangdong local government fully cooperated, and in the process of sending troops to arrest him, the guards left behind by the Nanyang merchants in the warehouse opened fire and resisted arrest, and many officers and soldiers were injured, but finally annihilated Xiaoxiao, who resisted the heavenly soldiers.
In the cargo station, His Royal Highness Prince Yong seized a number of fine iron machinery, proving that the things and related technologies that were circulated in the south of the Yangtze River were obtained from Yangyi in Guangdong. Of course, Guangdong businessmen also have a part in this matter, and they should be spanked when they participated in the spread of the matter. For this reason, Prince Yong set off a large-scale industrial and commercial inspection campaign in Guangdong Province, asking all county governments to re-register and strictly check all people, land and wealth.
The reason why the Guangdong officialdom had a wonderful idea and involved foreigners also came from the report of Li Shibang, the chief of staff of the superintendent, who regarded the Golden Carp as a foreign ship. With his newspaper as the foundation, others will play a role.
The original manuscript did not have the term Nanyang merchant, but was going to find a businessman who was going to be finished as a substitute for the dead ghost, but unexpectedly on the day of the Guangzhou Rebellion, the Thirteen Lines Wharf was also in chaos, a real foreign ship, regardless of the ban on entering the Huangpu River to seal the cannon door, brazenly opened the cannon and opened the cannon, the target was the Golden Carp that had come in before, and the Chinese name of the ship was ...... Candid Man.
This is the evidence that Captain Popper's gunners were frightened by the Golden Carp and fired indiscriminately. In order to calm the situation, Captain Popper sat back and watched the Chinese translator he had found in Nanyang be arrested as a Nanyang merchant. For the sake of the overall situation, Jia Hao did not continue to fight with this old opponent.
The mud of Qingpu Cargo Station has been pasted, and even Yinzhen's face has been found, and then there is the Guangzhou Rebellion, which is simple. It is related to the Qingpu cargo station and the foreigners, saying that the people in the city mistakenly thought that the foreigners were attacking the city, so it caused a disturbance, and other troubles were also brought out during the period, such as the conflict between the Buddhist temple and the small temple, and the conflict between the flag man and the Han people. However, with the concerted efforts of the high-level leaders of Guangdong and Guangzhou, the chaos was quickly eliminated, and there was no major trouble.
Many details of the Guangzhou city turmoil are facts, such as the gossip that foreigners are attacking the city, religious conflicts, and the dispute between the flag and the Han, but with a little editing of these clips, things have completely changed. The only detail that Guangdong officials lied about this matter was that they were still acting in accordance with the rules of the traffic officials and underreporting the casualties. More than 1,000 people were killed or wounded in Guangzhou, and it was reported to more than 100.
"So you will cover Kangxi?"
Fan Jin doesn't understand the things on the official side, and always feels that this matter is too child's play. Fogang, Qingpu and Guangzhou City, six or seven thousand people have been killed and injured in the past few days.
"Of course it can't be, this is just a title book, an official article submitted to the imperial court. As for the twists and turns for Kangxi to see, the governor and even Yinzhen himself wrote a different article. ”
Li Xi sneered, the Guangdong officials must leave a way back for themselves, and each of them will say some facts, and the facts that are only within their own authority will be very skillfully left to point at him Li Shi, but they will not say it explicitly. As for Yinzhen...... It's funny and helpless to say, now he and Yinzhen are still temporary partners, and they won't directly pull him out.
"Then do you estimate, when will Kangxi know the whole truth? And how long will it take him to react? We...... How much time can you have? ”
Fan Jin asked eagerly.
"It's half a year, it's long...... After two or three years, let's work hard for one year. ”
Li Shi's estimation, Fan Jin was a little incomprehensible.
"For half a year, if you have less scruples, train desperately, and have another 3,000 elite soldiers, it's not a big problem. Two or three years is very rich, how can you make a situation that can maintain an army of 10,000 people. This year, what is it for? ”
Fan Jin's question, Li Xian smiled mysteriously.
"I'm going to Yingci Yuan, you hurry up and act on the next important things."
He just commanded, Fan Jin frowned for a while, suddenly his eyes lit up, and then his expression darkened again.
