Chapter 194: Su Ye Is a God Who Goes to Die After a Sudden Change
Chapter 194 Dramatic changes! Go to death! Su Yi is a god!
Su Yi's former book boy, and Concubine Yi's former confidant eunuch Gui'er.
Li Liang, an eighth-grade officer of the New Army Secret Service. (The sleeping widow is bragging)
A seventh-grade officer in the Secret Service, he is the brother of Black Gong, Li Tonglu.
Three people came to Fujian for a big event.
After the Treaty of Nanjing, foreigners had the right to preach in China. Since then, conflicts between foreign religions and local people have arisen one after another, and conflicts have continued.
At its peak, the number of recorded bloody conflicts alone exceeded a thousand within three or four years.
Some are caused by conflicting beliefs, and some are caused by foreigners committing crimes and committing crimes in the name of preaching.
Many cases have reached the point of being sensational.
These three people came to Fujian to concoct a huge lesson plan.
Su Yi had discussed this plan with Basxali no less than a month ago.
The other party repeatedly denied it and even became furious with Su Yi.
"You are forcing me to attack my compatriots. Many of those missionaries were brought to China by me personally, and I am their leader." Basiali trembled with excitement: "Now you actually want to let me Sacrifice them?"
Su Yi didn't speak at that time, just looked at the other party quietly.
Although Bao Ling and Basiali have lost their official positions in China, they still have huge influence because they have been operating in China's foreign circles for many years.
Shen Baozhen said calmly from the side: "Sir Basharli, isn't it worth sacrificing one or two British scumbag missionaries and replacing one of ours as the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang?"
Su Yi still didn't speak.
Shen Baozhen said: "For our great cause, many people can sacrifice. Even the high officials of the Qing Dynasty can die. Of course, your foreign missionaries can also die."
"The key is, Sir Basiali, with your ability, whether you can finally control this storm. We must create this storm, and we must also be able to resolve this storm. Only in this way can our people serve as governors of Fujian and Zhejiang. "
It's so easy to have someone like Shen Baozhen as your partner.
There were many things that Su Yi couldn't say easily, but he could.
There were many gestures that Su Yi couldn't do, but he could do.
This allows Su Yi to always be in a very active position.
At that time, Ba Xiali took a long breath and said angrily: "Okay, you go do it!"
He shouted in a high pitched voice: "Do it!"
He picked up a cigarette and put it in his mouth, then took out his kerosene lighter.
This is also a product of the Jiujiang factory. Now of course it is just a sample and is made manually on a small scale.
It is more than thirty years earlier than lighters in history.
As a result, when I was upset, the lighter that could easily light up every time failed to light up this time.
"Shit!" Basiali shook the lighter vigorously.
Shen Baozhen stepped forward, took out his lighter, and lit a cigarette for Basiali.
Taking a deep breath of the cigarette, Basia Li's mood calmed down inexplicably, and he said slowly: "Master Su Yi, you are right, this thing can make a lot of money. I can't live without him all day. I can't imagine such a pack." You actually plan to sell this thing for three cents of silver, that’s too shameful.”
This is the highest-grade cigarette produced in Su Yi's factory. From the cut tobacco, to the essence, to the packaging, it is all of the highest grade. Compared with ordinary cigarettes, the cost is a full thirty cents higher.
The selling price has more than doubled.
And for a long time, it was only given away but not sold.
Exclusively for officials of third rank or above!
From now on, if you, a senior official of the third rank or above in the south, do not receive the special Fushan Chunju cigarettes from the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone, it means you are not good enough.
Shen Baozhen also took out one and took a sip.
Then, there was smoke.
Shen Baozhen asked: "Do it?"
Ba XiaLi reluctantly exhaled the smoke from his lungs, and then gently flicked the ash into the ashtray.
Now, he was completely calm and said slowly: "Do it!"
Just a month ago, this ordinary move caused a huge storm in Fujian.
A huge scandal broke out in the Xiamen Catholic Church.
British missionary Ma Fu raped children to death.
These Catholic churches raised a large number of orphans. Many of the children here are indeed orphans, but many more are abducted.
Many local ruffians joined the church, and under the protection of foreigners, they committed crimes, including rape, robbery, and all kinds of evil.
Originally, this scandal would not have exploded, but would have been completely suppressed, because there were too many such things.
But...this time it exploded.
After the scandal broke out, and there were frequent rumors of missing children and women in the local area, the anti-foreign religious forces, the Tiandihui and the White Lotus Sect, swayed a large number of people and launched a civil uprising.
Thousands of people rushed to the church, smashed everything in the church, and burned the church.
The foreign missionaries received the news in advance and fled to the Yamen of the Taiwan Military Preparation and Road Administration.
This is the highest authority governing Xiamen and is under the jurisdiction of the Governor-General of Fujian and Zhejiang.
The Tiandi Congregation, the White Lotus Congregation, and countless angry people rushed to the Taoist Office and demanded that the inspectors hand over the foreign missionaries.
Taiwan's Taoist envoy did not dare to take charge of his own affairs, so he hurriedly asked the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang for help.
The British immediately went to the Governor's Mansion to put pressure on Qingrui.
Therefore, Qingrui ordered the suppression of the rioters without even knowing the details.
In order to protect the foreign missionaries, the officers and soldiers of the Daoshu Yamen shot and killed people, causing more than a dozen casualties.
Then, the situation completely exploded!
……………………
At this time, in a land temple.
Six people, sitting quietly.
Su Ye's confidant Gui'er, Li Liang from the Secret Service, Li Tonglu from the Secret Service, Zhu Sanniang, the leader of the Tiandihui, Zhu Haochong, the leader of the local people, and Tang Feng, the leader of the White Lotus Sect.
Zhu Sanniang, the leader of the Tiandihui, is an old acquaintance. When Su Ye was in Guangzhou, he had worked with him.
And at that time, Li Tonglu was by his side.
At this time, old friends met and were overjoyed.
After the foreign army occupied Guangzhou, Zhu Sanniang's Tiandihui forces lost their space for activities, so they ran to Fujian, which is also one of the bases of the Tiandihui.
The little eunuch Gui'er said: "Now, the Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Qingrui, is in the Daoshu Yamen. Do you want to do anything?"
Zhu Sanniang said: "One stick of incense per person. Those who want to do something can light it directly and burn incense to the land god. Those who don't want to do anything can leave now."
After that, she lit the incense directly and inserted it.
"Do something!"
"Do something!"
"Do something!"
Six people, all lit incense and put it on the incense table.
Outside, tens of thousands of people were densely packed, holding all kinds of weapons, including sticks, forks, etc.
Six people came out and shouted: "Charge!"
"Let the dog officials give us an explanation!"
With an order, the Tiandihui and the White Lotus sect, with tens of thousands of angry people, rushed to the Daoshu Yamen like a tide.
Instantly overwhelmed the hundreds of soldiers in the Yamen.
The entire Taixia Daoshu Yamen was set on fire.
The flames shot up to the sky, and corpses were everywhere.
The righteous people killed officials and hundreds of soldiers.
The Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Qingrui, fled with many officials and the Governor's Guard.
The Xiamen Incident officially broke out!
Qingrui was extremely greedy. Even if a second-rank official visited his home, he would be blackmailed by his doormen. He offended many people in Fujian.
After the outbreak of this case
Many officials in Fujian, while seeking help from the court, submitted memorials to impeach.
Censors, governors, admirals, etc., and even the Zhejiang governor Yan Duanshu, who was far away in Hangzhou, also submitted memorials to impeach.
There was no such a big case in history. Two years later, Qingrui was impeached and removed from office.
This person was hated by people in Fujian, and everyone was unwilling to miss this opportunity. Impeachment memorials spread to the palace like snowflakes.
…………………………
At the same time, on the Yangtze River waterway.
Ronglu's new army fleet soon entered the field of vision of the Jiujiang patrol fleet.
At this time, this fleet had two leaders.
One was the British mercenary leader Li Yingzhong (later named), who received a high salary and signed a three-year contract with Su Ye.
The other leader was Wei Jun, the guerrilla general of Ganzhen.
"Fleet ahead, report your identity immediately!" Wei Jun shouted.
On a small boat ahead, a strong man shouted, "Tianjin New Army Assistant Minister, Tianjin Circuit Inspector, Junior Secretary of the Zhanshi Palace, Tianjin Town Deputy General Ronglu, is ordered to go to Jiujiang!"
This Ronglu is now a big celebrity, almost replacing Su Ye's previous treatment, a series of official positions.
He is like a second-rank official.
Wei Jun is a surrendered general after all, and he has a natural fear of the court at this time.
Fortunately, there is another person on the boat at this time, the new Jiujiang prefect Li Si.
The patrol fleet welcomes him to Jiujiang to take up his post.
Wei Jun immediately stepped forward and said, "Lord Li, what should we do? Ronglu has come here by order. The Marshal has transferred all the troops away. Jiujiang is almost undefended. Jiujiang relies entirely on our fleet to defend it."
"Should we report to Lord Shen Baozhen and ask him to make a decision?"
Li Si said, "No, if we hesitate a little at this time, the court will be more aggressive."
"Go tell Ronglu that the war situation in the south is complicated now. The entire Yangtze River waterway is a military control zone. No military force is allowed to enter."
Wei Jun's rank is the same as Li Si, but Li Si is a civil servant, and he is also the chief officer of Jiujiang that Su Ye wants to come, so of course he listens to him.
So, Wei Jun took a small boat and approached Ronglu's new army.
Ronglu also came in a small boat.
The two small boats approached.
"I am Wei Jun, the guerrilla general of Ganzhen. I am ordered by Shen Baozhen, the governor of Jiangxi Province, to temporarily impose military control on Jiujiang and the Yangtze River waterway. No military force is allowed to approach."
Ronglu said, "I am here on the orders of the emperor."
Wei Jun said, "What is the matter?"
Ronglu said, "It is inconvenient to tell you the emperor's order."
Then, he whispered, "There are 20,000 Zhili immigrants in Jiujiang, and there are more than 10,000 immigrants in Beijing alone. Their families miss them, so they sent a large number of local specialties and ordered me to send them together. I also visit the immigrants in Beijing on behalf of the emperor."
An impeccable reason, standing on the high ground of morality.
Wei Jun said, "Jiujiang welcomes Lord Ronglu's visit very much. These local specialties of the people in Beijing can be handed over here. But the army will not approach Jiujiang within a hundred miles."
Ronglu said coldly, "Lord Wei Jun, this is the emperor's order. Your actions are considered to be disobeying the order."
Wei Jun said, "Military orders are like mountains. I am very sorry!"
At this time, Ronglu was carrying a bloody murderous aura.
Because he had just fought two battles.
A few days ago, he rushed to Huai'an, wanting to capture Huai'an and make great contributions.
As a result, this credit was taken away by Wang Youling.
Not only that, his Tianjin New Army also ran into the fleeing Nian Army.
The encounter was about to break out.
The 3,000 Tianjin New Army, facing the 6,000 Nian Army, won a complete victory in just over an hour.
They killed nearly 2,000 Nian soldiers and killed them to the point where their souls were gone.
After entering Yangzhou, there was another encounter with a Taiping army that went to support Shi Dakai.
The New Army fought against 5,000 Taiping troops.
Winning again.
Both battles demonstrated the strong combat effectiveness of the Tianjin New Army.
After winning more battles and killing more people, the momentum will naturally come out.
Therefore, facing Wei Jun at this time, Rong Lu had an oppressive aura.
"General Wei Jun, what if my fleet must go to Jiujiang?" Ronglu said slowly.
Cold sweat broke out on Wei Jun's back.
Ronglu's fleet, in addition to troop transports, also had several large red ships unique to the Qing court.
The so-called red single ship is also a gunboat.
These red single ships did not belong to the Qing court. Strictly speaking, they belonged to Guangdong merchants and were employed by the court for a long time.
Wei Jun was only demoted as a general, and he really didn't dare to do such a thing as attacking the imperial fleet.
He was really afraid that he would cause big trouble for Su Yi.
But at this time, he still suppressed his fear and said: "Military orders are like mountains, and there is an order on the top. Any military ship that comes within a hundred miles of Jiujiang will immediately open fire and bombard it."
Ronglu said: "Sir Wei Jun, I represent the imperial court! Are your Jiangxi fleet actually going to open fire on the imperial fleet? Is this a rebellion?"
Wei Jun said: "Anyway, I have given the ultimatum."
Ronglu said: "There is no need to talk about it. Anyway, I have been ordered by the emperor to go to Jiujiang, and I have to lead troops there."
The two sides broke up unhappy.
Then, Ronglu ordered: "Keep moving forward!"
Following his order, dozens of warships and several red single battleships advanced at full speed towards Jiujiang, approaching Jiujiang's patrol fleet.
Looking at the imperial fleet getting closer and closer.
Wei Jun panicked, and Li Si even panicked.
He had just taken office as the prefect of Jiujiang and had just left the imperial court. He still had a strong fear of the imperial court's authority.
Neither of these two people could bear the responsibility of opening fire on the imperial fleet.
Don't dare to give orders.
Watching the imperial fleet led by Ronglu getting closer and closer.
At this moment, an armed merchant ship rushed up from behind.
Bai Feifei's fleet.
Even if there is a war, all business operations must still continue.
This time the Bai Fei fleet was dispatched and began transporting large quantities of cigarettes.
The destination is Tianjing.
Fight as usual, business as usual.
Seeing the imperial fleet, they rushed forward, and Bai Feifei immediately ordered to wave the flag.
"Fire!"
"Fire!"
However, she is only Su Yi's sister-in-law, one of the leaders of the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone, and has no military power. Her order was ineffective against the Jiujiang patrol fleet.
Seeing that Ronglu's fleet was about to cross the line.
The so-called line is the small boat at the front of the Jiujiang patrol fleet.
Seeing that the patrol fleet still did not open fire, Bai Feifei directly ordered his armed merchant ships to open fire without saying a word!
"Boom boom boom boom..."
Four artillery pieces fired directly at Ronglu's fleet.
Time!
Wei Jun suddenly realized this and looked at Li Yingzhong, the foreign leader of the patrol fleet, and then nodded.
"Fire!"
Immediately, the small fleet hired from Britain opened fire in full force.
Dozens of advanced artillery fire at the same time.
"Bang bang bang..."
The shell hit Ronglu's red single warship, bursting into flames and bursting into flames.
After a brief moment of astonishment.
The Ronglu fleet did not fight back.
Instead, he ordered: "Retreat, retreat, retreat!"
Waving flags.
Then, the Ronglu New Army fleet and the red single battleships all turned around and moved away from Jiujiang.
Evacuate at full speed.
Bai Feifei boarded the flagship of the patrol fleet and said to Li Si: "Master Li, you should return to Jiujiang immediately and report this matter to Master Shen Baozhen."
"General Wei Jun, what did you say in the general's military order? No military force is allowed to come within a hundred miles of Jiujiang. Why didn't you decisively open fire?"
Wei Jun's face turned red, and he bowed and said, "The general will finally be convicted."
Bai Feifei said: "I am a woman, and I do not hold an official position. I have no right to blame you. You can apologize to the adults afterwards."
"Rong Lu's move is definitely not reckless, but has a political purpose. Mr. Li Si, after you report it to Mr. Shen Baozhen, he will determine the other party's purpose and come up with a plan."
Li Si said shamefully: "Yes, madam."
Then he took a fast boat and headed to Jiujiang.
Bai Feifei sighed inwardly, Li Si and Wei Jun were both non-direct forces for the time being, and they were timid in doing things.
The reason why Wei Jun was made the temporary leader of this patrol fleet was to borrow his status as a fallen general. There were many things that Jiangxi officials could not do, but Wei Jun could do them, but he could not kill decisively.
………………………………
Jiujiang magistrate's office.
Li Si knelt down and said, "I pay my respects to the governor!"
"The official is guilty. It seems he made a mistake."
Shen Baozhen said: "Please tell me in detail."
Li Si immediately reported to Shen Baozhen everything that happened on the Yangtze River waterway.
After hearing this, Shen Baozhen said slowly: "Rong Lu didn't fight back and just retreated?"
Li Sidao: "Yes, he was very tough beforehand, saying that he had to break through and lead troops to land in Jiujiang. But after our shelling, he immediately retreated."
"Are you trying to build a charge against us? The charge of shelling the imperial fleet?" Li Si asked.
Shen Baozhen said, "This is one of the reasons, but not the main reason."
Then, Shen Baozhen said to himself, "This Ronglu is amazing. I couldn't see it before, but he stood out like this. He's amazing."
Li Si said, "What other purpose does he have? He was so tough at the beginning, and then he quickly withdrew. Isn't it embarrassing?"
Shen Baozhen said, "He used chicken feathers as a command arrow this time just to make us shell him. Because the new army was trained by the Marshal, when the Tianjin New Army under his command was formed, although the Marshal was no longer there, it was still full of the Marshal's traces. Very Many new soldiers may still miss Marshal Su Ye in their hearts. So Ronglu asked us to bombard them just to separate the Tianjin New Army from the Marshal. "
"It is to warn these Tianjin New Army, don't be self-indulgent, Marshal Su Ye doesn't care about you, he bombarded you, and from now on, the Tianjin New Army completely belongs to Ronglu."
Li Si was surprised that Ronglu actually had such thoughts, such deep scheming, and such powerful means. He asked: "Is it important?"
Shen Baozhen said: "It doesn't matter."
Su Ye had no expectations for the Tianjin New Army.
Besides, for the big things he is going to do now, what is Ronglu's little trouble?
At most, it can only be regarded as the court wanting to disgust Su Ye a little and prepare another crime for him in the future.
But what big things does Su Ye want to do?
Establishing a new order and the secret agreement of the seven provinces is not only to raise another flag to fight against the court and support Prince Albert in London thousands of miles away.
There is also a deeper purpose.
No one said it, but Shen Baozhen saw it.
Drive the emperor to a dead end!
Once the seven provinces signed the secret agreement and the Southern Economic Community was established.
Then, Su Ye would instantly launch a political attack on the court.
Then...
Many people, there was no such thing.
After following Su Ye for a long time, Shen Baozhen had a deep understanding that this move planned by Su Ye was always a preparation for the next fatal attack.
When you find the danger, it is too late.
It is useless to counter it.
However, Shen Baozhen did not say a word to anyone, even his own daughter.
Because it was too shocking.
………………………………………………
Suzhou prefectural government office.
Jiangsu Governor Xu Youren played with the lighter in his hand, and then took out a box of cigarettes.
Sister-in-law Bai Feifei works so fast.
Even Xu Youren has a second-rank official special supply of cigarettes, Fushan Chunjutu cigarettes.
After lighting a cigarette with a lighter, Xu Youren took a puff.
"I didn't feel anything when I smoked it just now, but after smoking it for a month, I feel nothing when I smoke other pipes." Xu Youren said, "From now on, I can't leave him anymore, Lord Su Ye, you've killed me."
Then, he flicked out a cigarette and said to Su Ye, "Would you like one?"
Come on, my cigarettes have only been launched for a month, and you are so skilled in flicking cigarettes? It seems that you usually share cigarettes a lot.
Xu Youren said, "Before you came, Wang Youling took the risk to come to me and tried to persuade me crazily. For three whole days, he followed me wherever I went, and even slept in the same bed with me at night. I dare not recall it now."
"So I know what you are going to do."
"Can you show us the secret agreement?" Xu Youren said.
Su Ye took out the secret agreement, the will of Prince Albert, and the contract of Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone.
Wait, all the documents were placed in front of Su Ye.
Xu Youren said: "I heard that you regard me as the most important member, and you even disdain to talk about He Guiqing?"
Su Ye usually doesn't smoke, but he took it at this time, took a puff and said: "Yes, I killed the rubbish like He Guiqing directly."
Xu Youren said: "Joining your secret agreement is a huge responsibility. And for you, the Seven Provinces Secret Agreement is just the beginning. After achieving the goal, you will launch a counterattack against the court. At that time, I will be coerced and pulled into it without resistance..."
"Chariot!" Su Ye said.
Xu Youren said: "Chariot, this word is appropriate."
Next, Xu Youren looked at these secret agreements quietly.
Although he wanted to pretend to be expressionless, his face twitched slightly and his hands began to tremble.
Su Ye was recalling this person's life.
The Taiping Army broke through Suzhou City, and this person's family died.
The governor of Jiangsu still cursed and died heroically after being pierced by the Taiping Army's spear.
Of course, apart from the standpoint, such a person is also worthy of admiration.
"If I don't sign, Suzhou will be destroyed." Xu Youren said slowly: "What a wonderful Suzhou city, how prosperous it is. Once the city is destroyed, how many people will die? The whole city may become a ruin?"
"If I don't sign, my whole family will be killed by the rebels!"
Su Ye suddenly said: "No, even if Lord Xu doesn't sign, I will save Suzhou. I don't want it to be destroyed by Shi Dakai."
After that, Su Ye took the secret agreement and walked out.
"Lord Xu, prepare for the battle, I will also prepare for the battle."
"Shi Dakai has more than 70,000 troops. This will be the first real fierce battle since the establishment of my new army, an unprecedented fierce battle."
"It's time to test the quality of my army."
Seeing Su Ye walked out directly.
Xu Youren remained still in the same place, and took another puff of cigarette.
But the cigarette had burned short, and it was so hot that he wanted to jump up.
Then, he rushed out directly.
He caught up with Su Ye and snatched the seven-province secret agreement from him.
And the contract of the Southern Economic Cooperation Body.
He came to the desk and signed his name directly.
He took the seal of the Jiangsu governor and stamped it directly.
He took out his own private seal and stamped it.
So far, Xu Youren, the governor of Jiangsu, became the first frontier official to actually sign the secret agreement.
"Is there anything else to sign?" Xu Youren asked.
Su Ye said, "No more."
Xu Youren said, "Now we can prepare for war."
"After defeating Shi Dakai, our grand ambitions will officially begin!"
"If we lose this battle, Lord Su Ye and I will be finished together. You may still be able to survive, but I will definitely be torn to pieces."
"I'm afraid that if I lose the battle, I will be killed directly and there will be no time to sign, so let's sign it in advance."
Su Ye stretched out his hand and said, "Fight to the death together!"
Xu Youren stretched out his hand and shook it, "Fight to the death!"
………………………………………………
At the same time, in the court of the capital.
Su Ye's ally, Dali Temple Minister Tian Yugong, was really forced into a desperate situation.
Seeing that he still did not take the initiative to impeach Su Ye, the emperor's patience ran out.
So, the censors of the Censorate began to impeach the Dali Temple Minister.
The time left for him is not little, but almost gone.
He has been waiting for the news of the dramatic changes in Fujian that Su Ye said.
But, these days, he has been living a life of year every day.
There was no news of the upheaval in Fujian, and Tian Yugong felt that he could not wait any longer.
He had already written a letter of resignation.
He would submit it when he could no longer bear it.
However... at this moment!
The news of the upheaval in Fujian finally came!
The Xiamen Incident.
Tens of thousands of angry people besieged the Taixia Daoshu Yamen in Xiamen (avoiding that word, write the former name of this institution, Taixia Dao)
Killing hundreds of officials and soldiers.
The entire Yamen was burned down.
Moreover, this civil unrest spread to Fuzhou.
Qingrui, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, fled.
Impeachment letters from officials in Zhejiang and Fujian also floated into the palace like snowflakes.
Suddenly!
Tian Yugong breathed a sigh of relief and almost cried with joy.
It finally came.
It actually happened.
Brother Su Ye, you are my great benefactor.
Brother Su Ye, you are really a god.

Note: Here is the second update. It’s late again today, but I’m suffering from severe insomnia. I’ve tried my best. I’m very sorry.
Can I still ask for monthly tickets? I bow my head to thank you all.
