Jinan City, the first important town of Qilu, is a place that strategists must contend for. But one thing, it officially became the provincial capital of Daming after the Ming Dynasty. It has always been the beneficial capital of Qingzhou.
After the Liu family took over, they all followed the rules of Xiao and Cao as the capital of Shandong Province. After all, this is the absolute core of Shandong. It is also very convenient to support the six governments in the East and West. Qingzhou is remote.
This time, Liu Yuanqiao personally led his army and arrived here. After the army was stationed, it also strengthened the urban defense unprecedentedly. The garrison of up to 100000 people also made this place an iron wall, which can not be easily occupied by the enemy.
And this time, they are not blindly guarding the city. They have deployed an army of 30000 people outside the city. This army will coordinate outside the city, making it difficult for the enemy to encircle Jinan. At the same time, it also means that there will be a large-scale field battle.
In everyone's impression, the war of Shandong is the war of National Games between China and Daming. The core of this war is the war of Jinan. Jinan will usher in an unprecedented bloody war, which will affect the fate of the two countries.
Hong Chengchou's troops were the first to set out. Their troops pulled out of the camp and took out thousands of troops and overwhelming momentum. Yang Sichang was unwilling to show weakness. The troops transferred out were also assembled into a heavy army group in a short time. They went down to the south like a huge torrent.
Hong Chengchou's army, starting from Linqing, quickly crossed Xiajin, Gaotang and forced Qihe County; After the siege of Dezhou, Yang Sichang's army withdrew from the old city of the peripheral city and went south along Pingyuan county and Yucheng County. The two sides will join forces in Qihe County and then jointly attack Jinan.
Zhu Xieyuan's troops withdrew from Jining and captured Tai'an. They pointed to the South Gate of Jinan. Several armies, nearly 100000 on each way, rushed here. Where they passed, they were like locusts crossing the border. People stopped killing people and Buddha stopped killing Buddha. They quickly entered the attack site. It can be said that the whole world paid attention to them, Concentrated in the city of Jinan, which is related to the war of National Games between the two sides.
Gao Qiqian was forced to go to Tianjin Weizhong to do some work of gathering grain and grass.
However, it can be said that this is the most difficult job in the world today. Not to mention that he is a eunuch, even if he is the emperor, he can't get much money and food.
At this point, the official family has no money, and the landlord family has no surplus food. You have to have it. The way is very simple. This is to rob others.
All civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty could not get any money except eunuch Xu Jianqiang. However, several people did it as hard as Xu Jianqiang. Even Gao Qiqian dared not make money like this.
Although he was favored by the emperor and had no descendants, he was afraid to die for these ministers, but he knew that once he angered these people, he would end up with thousands of cuts one day.
Now Xu Jianqiang has been impeached by countless officials in the court. These officials want to eat his meat and drink his blood. As long as they have the opportunity to come up, they will bite him. If the court was not in absolute difficulties, the emperor relied heavily on Xu Jianqiang's ability of bloody plundering money, I was afraid he would be sentenced to death.
Many people are saying that eunuch Xu is so cruel and excellent that his end is not much better than Liu Jin.
Liu Jin was cut by thousands of knives. It took him three days and three nights to die. Gao Qiqian didn't have such courage. Even if he had such courage and got so much money, he was reluctant to take it out and give it to the emperor.
Gao Qiqian is the real eunuch. He is inhumane and has no descendants. His favorite is silver. He has black eyes and can't see white silver. As long as he sees it, he will try his best to put it in his pocket.
Gao Qiqian likes silver, which is natural and innate. He doesn't spend much money. In his capacity, no matter what it is, someone desperately sends it to his house. There are all kinds of gold and silver treasures, rare antiques, silk and satin, and all kinds of gems. Even women send it to his house, so he never needs to spend money.
But he doesn't need to spend money. That doesn't mean he doesn't like silver. He likes to put silver in his pocket and hide it in his treasure house.
Before falling asleep every night, he must personally check his treasure house, look at his silver, count, touch and kiss, and then he can fall asleep safely.
These things are not as vivid as women, they can't fill their stomachs, and they can't be used as clothes. However, high dive just likes them. Only when he has these things, can he touch them, and he proves that they are his own, will he feel happy, will he feel happy, and can he sleep safely.
In the past, when he was a eunuch and maid in King Xin's residence, he didn't have much silver, which was not enough for his own expenses. If he wanted to go to the street to drink a pot of old wine or gamble, he would have to borrow money. However, since he kept up with the current emperor and prospered, he has never lacked silver.
After he went out to be the military Commissioner, he tried his best to make money and shared everything. As a general rule, he wanted the largest share. He was a long-term supervisor of Guan Ningjun. The imperial court used the most money and food to this place. He also received a lot of money and became one of the top rich.
Guan Ningjun has such a powerful position today and can get so much money and food. It can be said that many Guan Ningjun generals have a good relationship with him. For example, Wu Xiang, even his brother who worships his son, and Wu Sangui, Wu Xiang's son, is his dry son. Both sides have made a promise. If you rise up and grow old, Wu Sangui will take care of the old and die.
In the past, when he was a military envoy, he grasped military power with one hand and fished for silver with the other. He didn't fall down with both hands. His life was very good. Now he stays in charge of the army here in Tianjin Wei. This is different. There are no soldiers to manage for him. Basically, everyone listens to Yang Sichang.
Although he is in charge of the food and supplies here, there are not many food and supplies here. Relying solely on the money allocated by the imperial court is not enough for the army. As long as the army prepares by itself, it is simply robbing.
The army pay and food and grass won't be given to the imperial court, nor will they be given to the military commissioner. He doesn't have any money and food to send here, which makes him really have no oil and water to get and live a miserable life.
Gao Qiqian likes silver very much. He likes it as much as his life. Every time he goes out to be a supervisor, he has to bring back the silver of the cart, which makes him feel happy. Now he has been a supervisor here for so many days, and he hasn't even touched a certain amount of silver, which makes him very angry and depressed.
If someone in the Tianjin Acropolis had money, it is estimated that he would send someone to rob it. However, what can still be mixed in the Tianjin Acropolis now is not royal relatives or soldiers. Those people who have no backstage and no backers have been robbed by these officials for many times, and there has been nothing for a long time. They have either become poor or fled here.
To put it bluntly, he asked him to go high and dive to rob, but he couldn't find a few to rob, which made Gao Qiqian very angry and full of dissatisfaction. He only drank and scolded his mother in his camp every day, and the main scolding was Yang Sichang. If he hadn't been so brave, he wouldn't be in such a confused situation today, Maybe it's a pleasure to catch money and silver in the front.
Now he heard that Yang Sichang's army had attacked Qingzhou mansion, which was a famous rich area of the Chinese Empire, Jinshan and Yinshan. Their army used to be like locusts crossing the border. They robbed people when they saw them. They didn't know how much money they had picked up. It's estimated that there must be Jinshan and Yinshan?
But these gold and silver mountains can't be touched. No ingot of silver will fall into your pocket. This makes you avoid burning in the fire. You almost stretch out your hand in your eyes. You can only curse your mother and vent your anger every day.
If in the past, he knew that generals and soldiers had money, he had plenty of ways to extort money and let them honor his supervisor, father-in-law Gao.
But now he has no military power in his hand, and he has no ability to punish these officials. Naturally, they will not send him silver. They treat him as a mud fetus Bodhisattva and offer him a few incense sticks instead of a copper plate.
Therefore, Gao Qi's potential here is as uncomfortable as hemorrhoids. He is restless. Returning to the court makes people laugh. He can't get money here. He becomes a stepmother. His father doesn't kiss and his grandmother doesn't hurt. He doesn't know what to do?
He wants to stay here for a while. When the wind is over, he will pick up some silver and go to the middle of the court to do some errands in other places?
Yang Sichang, a second Leng in the stall here, clearly opposed him and didn't hurt him. It's not a matter for him to be here. He can't master military power, command the army to fight, or make money. It's not a matter to get moldy here in Tianjin Wei.
On this day, Gao Qiqian just got married in his dream and was preparing to wash and enjoy good wine and exquisite breakfast. His housekeeper was stunned and stumbled in. He panicked and said loudly: "father-in-law, the big thing is bad. There are a large number of Chinese thieves in Dagukou. They are attacking the water stronghold..."
