Chapter 295: Ji Xiha's strategy to seek the moon
For Shandong Governor Wei Fuguo, this period of time was simply a nightmare.
Dengzhou and Laizhou fell one after another, and he even wanted to commit suicide and apologize.
Fortunately, the master tried his best to persuade him, giving him the courage to write a letter to the court.
Fortunately, after seeing the memorial he wrote, the emperor did not give up the decree to blame him. Instead, he sent General Ji Xiha, the General of the East, to reinforce.
Although he was the governor of Shandong, his actual control of the troops was only 70,000 to 80,000.
After the incident in Denglai, he had only a little over 40,000 troops.
This little force really made him feel unsure.
But the situation was completely different after General Zhengdong arrived.
It is said that more than 10,000 soldiers came from the Eight Banners alone, plus 60,000 to 70,000 Green Camp soldiers, the number of Qing troops in Shandong can be more than 100,000.
This is a real army of 100,000, and it is not at all adulterated or exaggerated.
In Wei Fuguo's view, the traitors can be crushed by relying on the advantage of numbers alone.
However, the general of the East of the Conquest was really violent. He had just arrived in Jinan Prefecture and killed three servants and maids who served him.
Wei Fuguo naturally didn't say anything about this. It was just the lives of a few slaves, and they would die if they died.
But from then on, Wei Fuguo could see that Jixiha was not the kind that can tolerate people.
It would be fine if the battle was won, but if it was defeated, Wei Fuguo would be the first to be pushed to take the blame.
Therefore, Wei Fuguo has been serving him carefully, for fear that this man would feel uncomfortable and scold him.
Even if you are so careful, you still cause trouble.
Jixiha despised the maid who served him was too old and ordered Wei Fuguo to select some young women to send them over.
Wei Fuguo felt very distressed, but he did not dare to offend Ji Xiha anyway, so he could only follow the order.
Jishiha then calmed down a little.
On this day, Ji Xiha took the initiative to lead his personal soldiers to the governor's office, which scared Wei Fuguo.
He hurriedly sorted out his clothes and took the initiative to greet him.
"Oh, General Ji, please give me some instructions. The officials will go and obey orders. Why bother you to go there in person?"
Although Wei Fuguo may not be under Jixiha in terms of official positions, under this form, he could only accept his fate and lick Jixiha.
The most urgent task is to quickly suppress the Seven Rebellions and recover lost territory.
Only Jishiha can help him do this.
Therefore, no matter what Jixiha is like, Wei Fuguo cannot complain.
"I want to hear about the current situation in Shandong. There is so much nonsense, so there is no need to say anything."
Ji Xiha sat on the chair with a big bra and a golden knife, and said coldly.
Wei Fuguo put his hot face on his cold butt, and he felt very helpless.
He forced himself to smile and said, "General Ji said, then the official will report it to you."
Wei Fuguo swallowed a mouthful of foam and pointed to the map and said, "Now, the two prefectures of Dengzhou and Laizhou were captured by the thieves Yu Qi. The subordinate officials have sent people to station on the border between Qingzhou Prefecture and Laizhou Prefecture, and they can use troops at any time..."
"Select useful things."
Jixiha interrupted Wei Fu National Road without hesitation.
"Ahem..."
Wei Fuguo coughed and covered up his embarrassment, and then said, "As far as the officials know, the thieves should be around 50,000. However, they are all a group of mobs. If the general takes action, he will definitely defeat him in one fell swoop."
In fact, it is difficult for Wei Fuguo to say these words.
If Yu Qi was a mob, wouldn’t they even be a mob? Otherwise, how could he throw away Dengzhou and Laizhou so neatly?
Just to lick Jishiha, he didn't care about this anymore, so he could only do whatever he was disgusted.
"Fifty thousand people, that's it?"
Jixiha indeed said a little dissatisfied: "If the emperor knew that Lord Wei was beaten to run away with only 50,000 people, he would probably be furious."
After hearing this, Wei Fuguo hurriedly said, "I would like to ask General Ji to be merciful. The emperor is willing to serve the general!"
In fact, he exaggerated Yu Qi's military strength in his memorial to Shunzhi, saying that there were tens of thousands of thieves.
The word "ten thousand" is a matter of particularity.
You can say he is 100,000, or he is 200,000.
Anyway, I didn't say death, so I can explain it no matter how I explain it.
This reflects the importance of the master. Revising two strokes can make the memorial look completely different.
Wei Fuguo was nervous now. If Jixiha really reported the actual situation to Emperor Shunzhi, his official position would have been over.
Jixiha snorted coldly and said, "You Han people are indeed not a good person. If it weren't for the few Manchus, it wouldn't be your Han people's turn to be officials."
Jixiha has always been very dissatisfied with the Qing court's large number of appointments of Han people as officials, but this is what the emperor means, so he can't express it too much.
But when he was in front of Wei Fuguo, he really didn't want to hide it, so he expressed all his dissatisfaction.
"What the general said is that if the subordinates are not as good as the general, please teach the subordinates how to do it."
Jishiha was stunned.
Wei Fuguo is really thicker in appearance than the city wall.
I just scolded him, but this guy came to lick his butt eyes...
However, I have to say that Wei Fuguo licked Ji Xiha very comfortable.
“It’s actually very simple.”
Ji Xiha had no choice but to express his feelings when he didn't hit the smiling person.
"Just one word, kill!"
He said coldly: "There is no one who dares to resist again!"
"The foundation of our Qing Dynasty was the word "ruthless". All the Han people who dared to resist in Liaodong were killed, and the same was true after entering the pass. You Han people were still too cowardly and soft. If you had used severe punishments to govern Shandong, why would the Yuqi rebellion be there?"
"The officials have received the education."
Wei Fuguo greeted Ji Xiha several times in his heart, but he had to smile and flatter him.
"Is the troops concentrated in Qingzhou Prefecture now?"
"Yes, the lower officials transferred all the main forces to Qingzhou."
"We don't have a navy. If we want to fight Dengzhou, we have to take Laizhou first. It is right for you to transfer the army to Qingzhou."
Jixiha agreed with Wei Fuguo's arrangements for the first time today, which surprised him.
"but..."
Ji Xiha suddenly changed his tone and said, "Have you ever thought about taking the main attack on the south or the north?"
"Please tell me."
"There are many hills in the north of Laizhou, while the south is relatively flat. If we look at this general, we can attack from the south."
Jixiha was not humble at all and boasted: "You can send some troops to attack the north. At that time, the general will lead the main force to attack the southern part of Laizhou, and you can take down Laizhou in one fell swoop."
Wei Fuguo thought to himself that he was the one who did the dirty and tiring work, so Ji Xiha was responsible for picking peaches.
But there is no way to do this.
Who told him to lose the battle and he couldn't handle Yu Qi?
Even if it is driving a tiger and swallowing a wolf, this tiger must be invited.
"The Xiaguan is foolish, General Ji means that the Xiaguan pretends to attack Weixian?"
"Not bad, it's Weixian!"
Jixiha said firmly: "Weixian is an important town on the junction of Qingzhou and Laizhou. If you send troops to attack, the traitors will believe it. At that time, this general will be caught off guard."
