Inside the meeting room in the front hall of the General's Office in Guangzhou City
Li Shiyao, the garrison general in Guangzhou, and He Nian, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, were following the generals in Guangzhou city to discuss how to annihilate Zhang Rui and his gang.
In the year of Crane, Ilgenjueluo family, named Zhixian, was born in Xianglan Banner in Manchuria. In the first year of Qianlong's reign, he was a Jinshi. He was selected as a common scholar, awarded the title of review, and served as the assistant leader of the Duke. He was a bachelor of the cabinet for three years.
According to the historical trajectory, the Year of the Crane should not have been officially promoted to the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi until August of the 22nd year of Qianlong. Then, He Nian died in office after only working for a few months.
At this time, why aren't Yang Yingju and Sitku here?
Sitku was really afraid of Zhang Rui since he was captured for the second time, so he immediately went to raise the money after returning to Guangzhou City, got the note back and left Guangzhou in a hurry. He declared to the outside world that he could not live up to the emperor's favor and must rush to take office as soon as possible.
Yang Yingju was not the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi at this time, but became the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang as in history.
Since Yang Yingju was captured by Zhang Rui for the first time, he knew that Zhang Rui was not a good person. Although Yang Yingju was not good at fighting, he still had the ability to serve as an official. Therefore, after Yang Yingju was captured for the first time, he began to work with senior officials in the capital to transfer himself out of Guangzhou.
After Yang Yingju poured in a lot of money, Zhang Rui finally received an order from the court when he attacked Zhaoqing City. Originally, Qianlong complained about Yang Yingju's failure to kill Zhang Rui, but after considering the opinions of many ministers, he still agreed to Yang Yingju's transfer.
Yang Yingju, who received the transfer order, naturally took up the post without saying anything. Being able to leave at this time, Yang Yingju didn't have any nostalgia. It was a pity that he couldn't leave with Kaifu Li, but Yang Yingju also gave Kaifu Li a lot of money.
"Report, General, Lord Governor, gentlemen. There is a messenger from Qingyuan City outside to report. Do you want to let him in?" The guard guarding the door came in to report.
"Let him in!" replied the old He Nian.
"Hey." The guard kowtowed to He Nian and Li Shiyao who were sitting in the hall, and then retreated.
After a while, a messenger from the post station knelt in front of Li Shiyao and said: "Report, General, Lord Governor, ladies and gentlemen. Qingyuan City has rebelled, and the rebels are coming to Guangzhou City at this time. General, please make a decision as soon as possible."
"I know, you go down!" Li Shiyao said calmly after hearing the news
"Hey." The messenger bowed to them and then withdrew.
After the messengers went out, Li Shiyao stood up from the chair in the hall and asked the generals in the hall: "You also know the situation. How should we destroy Zhang Rui's group now?"
After Li Shiyao finished speaking, the people below began to talk heatedly.
Li Shiyao looked at the chatter below and couldn't say that they didn't understand the rules. After all, these are a group of warriors, how can they know so many etiquette things.
"Master He, what do you think?" Li Shiyao couldn't help but ask as he looked at the elderly He Nian who was sitting calmly in the hall.
"General Li, you also know. It's a little difficult for me to walk now, let alone kill the enemy. Look at what you have in mind and I will support you." He Nian said seriously.
"Then thank Governor He first." Li Shiyao said gratefully
At this time, the discussion below seemed to have a result.
"General, we have thought about it. If we want to defeat these rebels, it is difficult for us to defeat them with our current strength alone. We think we should recruit more troops." Geng Shangzhi took the lead and said to Li Shiyao.
Geng Shangzhi's statement was echoed by the generals below.
At the same time, Niu Lumu, the deputy general of Guangzhou City Green Camp, also said:
"General, Lord Governor. We think it is best to wait until the rebels come to attack our city of Guangzhou, and let the troops transferred from outside come in to support the rebels. In this way, the rebels are really powerful. His skills are also unquestionable."
"Wonderful, this is a good idea. With talented people like you here in the Qing Dynasty, we are not afraid of the existence of these rebels." He Nian couldn't help but praise after hearing Niu Lumu's words.
"Thank you, Lord Governor, for the compliment." After hearing He Nian's words, Niu Lumu quickly knelt on the ground and thanked him.
"You're being polite, Vice Admiral Niu, get up quickly!" He Nian was very satisfied with Niu Lumu's reaction.
People like this wouldn't be like this in the past. No wonder everyone wants to be promoted. Sure enough, this right is addictive.
"Thank you, Lord Governor." Niu Lumu kowtowed again and then stood up and returned to his position.
"Well, Vice Admiral Niu's suggestion is really good. Do you have any other suggestions?" Li Shiyao also affirmed Niu Lumu's words and asked again.
Li Shiyao's question was answered quickly, but the next answers given by these generals were some suggestions on defending the city.
decided in a meeting. This time, Li Shiyao mobilized Shaozhou Prefecture again. Huizhou Prefecture and Chaozhou Prefecture had a total of 60,000 troops and rushed outside Guangzhou as soon as possible.
When the rebel Zhang Rui besieged the city of Guangzhou, he launched an attack on the rebel Zhang Rui's men. This group of rebels must be eliminated in one battle.
This transfer of troops is not without danger, but no one will consider it.
If Zhang Rui still fails to be defeated this time, or even defeated by Zhang Rui, then the entire Guangdong Province will be in a defenseless position.
However, relative to the risks, its risk potential is too low. After all, no one doubted that Zhang Rui could not be defeated in this way, so no one would bring it up.
In Qingyuan City, after Wu Sanshui was defeated by Zhang Rui, he actually went back to the temple and asked the mage to do it.
When Zhang Rui led the bandit-suppressing army to besiege Qingyuan City, Wu Sanshui discovered that the magicians' methods were of no use at all.
Since Li Shiyao mobilized a large number of troops, Qingyuan City's defense force has been unexpectedly weak. Especially after Wu Sanshui saw Zhang Rui's siege methods, the siege did not last long before Wu Sanshui came out and surrendered.
The battle in Qingyuan City lasted only half an hour. This victory greatly inspired the confidence of the bandit suppressing army. Now, no one in the Green Camp who surrendered doubted the ability of the bandit-suppressing army.
The bandit-suppressing army captured Qingyuan City, only stayed for a few hours before leaving a few troops behind, and then set off for Guangzhou City.
The victory of the army was too easy, which made Zhang Rui a little worried. However, none of the new recruits in training have come out, so they can only rely on the surrendered Green Camp soldiers to come and support the facade.
All the more than 2,000 green soldiers in Qingyuan City were led across Guangzhou City by Zhang Rui. In this regard, the green soldiers in Qingyuan City did not have too many objections. On the one hand, they didn't dare, and on the other hand, they didn't doubt whether they would be unable to capture Guangzhou City.
After seeing the siege methods used by the bandit suppressing army.
At this time, if gambling was not prohibited in the bandit suppression army, these green soldiers in Qingyuan City would even bet that they could capture Guangzhou City in a few hours.
