Chapter 14: Position
(The second one will be sent, I wish my brothers and sisters a Merry Christmas)
The officials of Shandong County who stayed in Jinan at that time either surrendered or rebelled or were killed, and there was not one out of ten. Yue Lengqiu led the southern line Qin Wang Division to recover Jinan Mansion, and Jinan City was almost razed to the ground in the east, almost a deserted city. The imperial court sent officials to re-establish the Shandong Xuanfu Envoy Division, the Inspectorate Envoy Division, and the Admiral's Mansion in Qingzhou Mansion, so that the military and political system of Shandong County could barely maintain its operation.
Qingzhou is located between Linzi and Laizhou, with Linshan Mountain in the south and Bohai Sea in the north, and is geographically located at the junction of the east and west of Shandong County, and most of the Jiaolai River that crosses the Shandong Peninsula is also in Qingzhou. After the destruction of the city of Jinan, Qingzhou was chosen as the capital of Shandong County, which could not only take care of many major affairs such as the blocking of the Yellow River in the west and the restoration of the Fucao Canal in the plains, but also take into account the transportation of Cao grain along the Jiaolai River to the north and the sea in the Denglai area.
When the Dongyu entered the Kou, the cities of Yangxin, Bohai and Linzi were not lost, and the Qingzhou Mansion that was shielded by Bohai and Linzi cities was naturally preserved, and it was not trampled by the iron hooves of the captives, which can not but be said to be a kind of luck.
Late at night on March 19, in the east of Qingzhou City, in the yamen of the Qingzhou Inspectorate Division, which was requisitioned from the mansion of a wealthy businessman, the fire candles were shining high, and the Mingtang was reflected in the swaying lights, just like day.
Liu Yefei, the envoy of Shandong and the imperial envoy of the right capital and the governor of Qingzhou Prefecture and the governor of Qingzhou Prefecture, Ge Zufang, the envoy of Shandong Xuanfu and the right attendant of the household department, and Chen Debiao, the right servant of the Shandong Admiral and the military department, and the imperial official Chen Debiao and others all sat with sad faces looking at the candlelight.
"Lord Liu, it's better for you to tell me what to do, the warships of the Jiangdong Zuoying have blocked the mouth of the Mihe River, and Tang Shaobao has also entered Shouguang City. If you delay any longer, Lin Tie's swineherd has a temper and leads his troops along the Mi River to Qingzhou City, what should you do? Ge Zufang is about fifty years old, with a slender face, pointed chin, a yellow and sickly face, once served as a minister of the Ministry of Langzhong, straight bachelor, the officials of the Shandong County Division gave the East Lu the bottom to the sky, almost no one survived, he found an opportunity, cast under Zhang Xiemen, and got the opportunity to release Shandong, I thought that we would usher in a page of the glorious peak of life, where did I think that this feudal official has not sat down for a month, and this disaster has come to the head?
Previously, he pulled off a large handful of beards for the troublesome River Gang congregations in Changyi, and now half of his chin is still hot and painful with plaster, and the River Gang congregations are taken to prison, Ge Zufang thought that he could cut off dozens of heads to vent his anger, but he didn't expect Lin Jian to say a word, and directly sailed the warship into the mouth of the Mi River, and the soldiers pointed directly at Qingzhou City in the upper reaches of the Mi River.
Ge Zufang was used to being a peace official in Beijing, and he had no ability to change, and when he heard that the warships of the Jiangdong Left Army blocked the mouth of the Mi River at dusk, he was so frightened that he lost six of his seven spirits, and he couldn't help but tremble when he sat down, and he had no idea at all.
"Lord Ge, don't be impatient, even if you give Lin ten more guts, he won't dare to support troops outside Qingzhou City-is it possible that he will raise a flag and rebel for a few inconsequential river gang mud legs?" Liu Yefei pressed his throat and patiently comforted the frightened Ge Zufang, frowned slightly, and said, "If you don't believe it, pull out a few of the thieves in the prison and behead them to show the public, and you will see whether the Jiangdong Left Army is advancing or retreating?" I think Lin Jian will definitely withdraw from the Mi River. Could it be that the Shandong County Division arrested a few thieves, and was forced to release them by the Jiangdong Left Army? ”
"Lord Liu, why are you so sure?" Admiral Chen Debiao squinted at Liu Yefei, and said in a non-yin and non-yang manner, "Forcing the generals of the imperial court, whether this responsibility can be borne by Lord Ge, I don't know, I can't afford it." If you want to kill someone, well, those river gang thieves who are imprisoned in prison will be handed over to you to be responsible for Lord Liu. I am willing to fight and kill, and I have nothing to do with you......"
"Where can I afford it? Lord Yanagi, don't hurt me. Ge Zufang hurriedly excused himself and said, where did he dare to kill again? Even if Liu Yefei can hold Qingzhou City and not give Lin Tie a break, and force the general to rebel, it is not something he can bear.
Chen Debiao looked at Liu Yefei to see what he was going to do.
Nominally, the three yamen of Shandong according to the Inspectorate Division, the Xuanfu Envoy Division, and the Admiral's Mansion were all newly established, each performing its own duties, and the rank was not distinct, but the Shandong County Division moved the administrative office to Qingzhou Mansion, and Liu Yefei held the military and political power of Qingzhou Mansion with Shandong as the Inspector and Governor of Qingzhou Prefecture and the military and political power of Qingzhou Mansion, and his authority was obviously inclined to him.
The Shandong County Division has actually formed a situation headed by Liu Yefei, and Liu Yefei is short of the title of governor.
Now there is something important to discuss in Shandong County, and everyone gathers in the yamen of the inspection department.
The second minister, Zhang Xie, was so partial to Liu Yefei when reconstructing the power structure of Shandong County, Chen Debiao had an opinion in his heart, and now that he had poked such a big basket, of course he would not take this responsibility with Liu Yefei.
Chen Debiao's nephew also mixed his qualifications because he was mixed into the team of the grain governor, and when he mutinied in Changyi, he broke the leg bones of the noisy River Gang congregations and threw them into the cold and biting river, and almost lost his life, but at this time, Chen Debiao was only the nominal governor of Shandong County, and the new official could not burn the fire when he took office, and he could not directly mobilize the town army that was still fully established in Shandong County to Changyi to suppress the uproar congregation, and finally Liu Yefei mobilized Qingzhou soldiers to Changyi to round up the River Gang congregation.
Chen Debiao and Ge Zufang didn't want to make a big deal out of it, after all, the river was silted up, and the Xuanfu envoy was responsible for negligence, not accountability, no torture, and the killing of more than 70 members of the River Gang was also suspected of being in a hurry, killing in vain, and intensifying the contradictions. It is difficult for anyone to escape responsibility after the matter is investigated, Chen Debiao still wants to turn the big thing into a small and a small thing after the Changyi mutiny, as long as the river gang is soft and does not make the matter bigger, it is okay to treat the Changyi mutiny as if the Changyi mutiny has not happened.
Who would have thought that Liu Yefei suddenly seemed to have taken the wrong medicine, and he insisted on killing the river gang to convict him of rebellion, and sent a large number of soldiers and horses to search for and arrest those who slipped through the net.
If no one stood up for the group of mud legs of the River Gang, Chen Debiao would be too lazy to worry and argue with Liu Yefei; But Lin Tie did not hesitate to support the troops to force Shandong, but also to stand up for these mud legs, Tang Haoxin, who has always been used to being a peacemaker in the DPRK, also supported Lin Tie with a tough attitude this time, how could Chen Debiao be willing to wipe the shit of Liu Ye Feila on his buttocks?
Liu Yefei had a gloomy face, Ge Zufang was timid and afraid of things, greedy for life and afraid of death, he was definitely not a person with any decisive courage, but Chen Debiao was an old fox, I was afraid that he had already thought of a way out for himself, and he couldn't pull Ge Zufang and Chen Debiao to take responsibility together, Liu Yefei really didn't dare to pull dozens of mud legs out casually to cut off his head and kill people to demonstrate to Lin Jian and the Jiangdong Left Army.
At this moment, the old porter of the Yamen of the Inspector Si walked in with a letter in his hand, walked up to Liu Yefei and whispered a few words in his ear, and then withdrew.
Chen Debiao looked at Liu Yefei's face even more gloomy and ugly after opening the letter, and asked, "What happened again?" ”
"Tang Shaobao asked us to go to Shouguang immediately to answer the matter of grain congestion in person......" Liu Yefei handed the letter to Chen Debiao and Ge Zufang with an ugly face.
Chen Debiao looked at Tang Haoxin's letter from Shouguang, and no matter what Ge Zufang thought, he said directly: "Jinhai Kaihaicao, Tang Shaobao is the governor Caoguan, he summoned us to Shouguang to inquire about the grain congestion, and it is inconvenient not to go - besides, Tang Shaobao is more than seventy years old, and he has worked hard for the imperial court, so he can't work hard anymore and rushed to Qingzhou to ask about things." ”
Liu Yefei secretly sighed in his heart, he didn't expect Chen Debiao to be so spineless. Chen Debiao lowered his posture and ran to Shouguang to admit his mistake, so he didn't have much responsibility, but he was different, almost everything was provoked by him alone, if he couldn't sit on the charge of rebellion by the River Gang, Tang Haoxin and Lin Jian would definitely not give up with him.
Liu Yefei looked at Ge Zufang and asked, "Master Ge, what do you say?" When Changyi mutinied, you were our chief grain officer, and after Changyi was congested, if it weren't for Lord Ge saying that he would repair those mud legs, he wouldn't have made so many troubles. ”
"Lord Liu, you can't say that," Ge Zufang saw Liu Yefei pushing the responsibility on his head, he frowned and shouted, "In Changyi, Lord Liu said that those mud legs deliberately slacked off, I just followed Lord Liu's tone and said that I would teach those mud legs who deliberately slacked off a hard lesson, who would have thought that Lord Liu would grab someone and pull him directly to the river embankment to cut off his head to show the public......"
"Lord Ge didn't stop me at that time! Of course, if it weren't for the imperial court supervising the grain being too anxious, Lord Ge wouldn't have acted so impatiently, I can understand Lord Ge's mood," Liu Yefei squinted his eyes and smiled, "It's just that none of us thought that this group of mud-legged people really ate leopard gall, and dared to gather a crowd to make trouble, not to mention the beating of the imperial court grain superintendent and Cao officials, and killed and injured more than a dozen people, how different is it from a rebellion?" Could it be that Lin Tie can still say that the black is not white with the soldiers in his hands. Of course, if he insists on turning black into white, then naturally he has to investigate the cause and effect of the silting up of the Jiaolai River, could it be that this has nothing to do with Lord Ge? At the beginning, Lord Ge slapped the table and asked the River Gang to boldly sail the boat into the Jiaolai River, and Lord Ge pointed at Sun Jingtang's nose and scolded at that time. ”
"This ......" Ge Zufang broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, he had served in the Hanlin Academy and the Ministry of Officials for nearly 20 years, and he didn't know the affairs of water conservancy and transportation, thinking that if there was water, he could sail, how could he think that the boat carrying grain would be so heavy that the river could not hold it? When he really wanted to investigate the responsibility behind the Changyi mutiny, Ge Zufang knew that it was difficult for him to escape responsibility, and he was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat, and he didn't know what excuse to use to excuse himself.
"Master Chen, what do you think we should do to meet Tang Shaohe?" Liu Yefei asked Admiral Chen Debiao again.
When Chen Debiao saw Ge Zufang's bear-like appearance, he knew that he would bring Liu Yefei over to fight against Tang and Lin together, he weighed the pros and cons in his heart, hesitated for a while, and then said: "Changyi mutiny, the River Gang gathered people to make trouble, besieged and beat the court officials, injured and killed several people, this iron-clad fact can not be erased by anyone...... He didn't know that Zhang Xie would not protect Liu Yefei, if Zhang Xie would protect Liu Yefei, and Tang Haoxin must support Lin Tie to stand up for the River Gang, which means that the contradictions between Tang and Zhang within the Chu Party will be open. After all, Zhang Xie holds real power and heavy power in the DPRK and China, and if the Chu Party really wants to break up, most people will choose to rely on Zhang Xie and abandon Tang Haoxin.
Even if the Shandong County Division has neglected to supervise and intensify the contradictions, Tang Haoxin and Lin Jian will not be guilty of supporting troops and approaching Shandong without authorization? Chen Debiao estimated that even if the imperial court would eventually fight fifty boards, the fifty boards on Tang Haoxin and Lin Jian would definitely be much heavier than those on them.
In this case, Chen Debiao could only temporarily stand on the same position with Liu Yefei and Ge Zufang against Tang Haoxin, Lin Jian and others who came to Xingshi to ask for their crimes.
