Chapter 518 Guangxi Admiral Yan Minghan!

Guangxi Admiral Yan Minghan held a string of rosary beads in his hand. From time to time, he pulled out his fingers, squinted his eyes, and looked at the young man in front of him. He was about 26 or 27 years old. He was good-looking, and his two sword eyebrows were very high-spirited, but a mouthful of Wu Nong's soft words were matched with his modest smile, but he added a few gentleness. Elegant. qi.

On both sides, only the confidants of Yan Minghan looked at the young man named Wang Jing with doubts or angrily.

It's nothing else, just because this guy is the gang of rebels. It should be said that it is the messenger sent by Liang Pengfei, who has occupied more than half of Guangdong, Yunnan and most of the rebels in Guangxi.

"You mean that you want me to cooperate with you to annihilate those white lotus religion?" After a long time, Yan Minghan finally opened his mouth, but these words still shocked several confidants present.

"What?! Bold anti-thieves, what's the difference between you and those rebellious white lotus religion? How can I, the teacher of the court, be with the anti-thieves? The general of the bidding camp, who was sitting under Yan Minghan's left hand, squinted at Wang Jing and said with a cold smile.

Wang Jing seemed to turn a blind eye to those pairs of murderous eyes, with a sarcastic smile on his face: "My lord, this is not good. My lord is the general of Humen Town, a Guangdong navy."

"Well, since you are the general soldier of the court and receive the salary of the court, why do you still rebel?" The person who just spoke will continue to retort.

"It's not because the new governor of Liangguang, Zhu Ji, doesn't like my lord because of his resentment with Na He Shen. The ancients said that a scholar is for his confidant, and a woman is for his pleasure. A scholar meets me, and my old scholar repays him. This Governor Zhu doesn't give my adult a way to live. Does my adult still want to lead the head? Wang Jing glanced at the general indifferently and reluctantly retorted back.

"You! ...Hmm." Now, the general couldn't find any suitable words to refute for a while. He just snorted coldly and looked at the calm admiral Yan Minghan, and didn't bother to shut up and say anything.

He closed his mouth, and the room seemed to be extraordinarily quiet. Wang Jing smiled and said loudly, "My lord, before being forced to rebel between the governors and Guangxi, he was also the general of the court and navy. He guarded the sea for the court conscientiously, first killed the Xiyi sea chieftain, cracked down the rampant Xiyi opium smuggling, and cleaned up the mouth of the Pearl River. The sea bandits also followed the general's southern expedition to Annan, Zhen Ruan Wenyue, and suppressed Ruan Wenhui. After returning to Guangdong, they all made great achievements in the battle. After returning to Guangdong, they went to suppress the Cai thieves with the Fujian naval division and Jing sea area. Later, the British Yi invaded our Qing Dynasty. The Guangdong and Fujian naval divisions were all defeated in the battle, with countless casualties and lost their national prestige. Only my family only rely on the water of one town. Shi, despite the British barbarians outside the mouth of the Pearl River, killed more than a thousand barbarians, captured thousands of barbarians alive, and captured several giant ships..."

--------------------

"... You can pat your chest and say it according to your conscience, my lord has made contributions to the court and the people of the world, but what has been exchanged for? Do you know what the crime of Governor Zhu sentenced me to my lord? Do you know what the will of our emperor is? Wang Jing reached into his sleeve and handed the imperial edict written in yellow silk to Yan Minghan's personal soldiers next to him.

After Yan Minghan's confidants read the book of the imperial edict, one of them became ugly.

"Hehe's contribution, when he became the governor of Zhu's words, the court listened to the Qingliu minister's words. If my lord can't resist, I'm afraid it's not only that he can't even save his life, but he doesn't know how many people's gentry in Guangdong and Guangxi will be involved. Since the court is not benevolent, why should my lord be loyal and righteous?"

"You are eloquent. It seems that your teacher, Mr. Zhao, is really good." Except for Yan Minghan, who had been allowing his subordinates to argue with Wang Jing after asking a few questions at the beginning, interrupted Wang Jing's words at this time and said with a smile.

"I dare not, I'm just the most useless disciple under the teacher's seat. I have learned the teacher's ability for more than ten years, but it is still difficult to match the teacher's back. Wang Jing was slightly stunned and replied with a smile.

This Yan Minghan was originally from Jiaying, Guangdong Province. Qianlong was admitted to Wu Jinshi for 25 years and has been in the military. He once worked under the command of Li Shiyao for a long time. When Li Shiyao was the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, he was the governor of Li Shiyao, and Zhao Yi was also in the Li Shiyao during the rebellion of Lin Shuangwen in Taiwan. Yao shogunate counselor military affairs, so he had a lot of contact with Zhao Yi. Although he was not a good friend, the relationship between the two was also very good. Zhao Yi's military views made Yan Minghan think that he was beyond his reach, while Yan Minghan heard Li Shiyao praise Zhao Yi for his talent more than once.

Unfortunately, Zhao Yi was completely disappointed in the dark officialdom, and repeatedly refused Li Shiyao's retention and turned to concentrate on metallurgy. What Yan Minghan didn't expect was. Zhao Yi, who was supposed to be teaching in the Anding College in Taizhou, Jiangsu Province, was actually in Guangdong, and what he said in his letter was that his students were under the command of Liang Pengfei, and he and Yuan Mei, a famous scholar of the river, were all at Liang Pengfei.

Although he didn't point out anything, he just introduced his disciples like a referral, and then told himself that his relatives had now been picked up by his command, and his wife and children were safe.

In addition, in the letter, he talked about his personal feelings about Liang Pengfei, as well as Liang Pengfei's general military strength and equipment. Of course, he also briefly mentioned that the British Yiren fleet, which made the whole Qing Dynasty helpless, had fallen behind Liang Pengfei, and was passing through the British prisoners of war on Hong Kong Island for Liang Pengfei. Work hard to build a new home.

Of course, what happened in Nanyang, Annan and other places, Zhao Yi knew all together, which made Yan Minghan have a shocking sense of heaviness.

Who is Zhao Yi? Yan Minghan, who has been with him, knows very well that he doesn't have to deceive himself, because Yan Minghan is not the kind of fool who doesn't know that soldiers only rely on Enmeng or nepotism to climb to today's position.

However, as an admiral of Guangxi, a division of Liang Pengfei was kicked out of Liuzhou, and finally squeezed into Guilin Mansion to survive. Such an experience is enough to make him remember the combat effectiveness and strong firepower of the Liang family's army.

The sky of gunfire and gunpowder smoke, the overwhelming soldiers in black, the heinously dense muskets, and the ultra-long range, the 7,000 soldiers and horses led by their own governor in Liuzhou, in less than an hour, were only able to lead 3,000 people to escape from the city wall, out of Liuzhou, and fled to Guilin. In time, every time I dream back at midnight, I always inadvertently recall the scene that happened in Liuzhou City.

The other party's artillery is not like any kind of artillery that Yan Minghan is familiar with. A projectile, at most, penetrates vertically, killing soldiers on a line. Once the other party's artillery shells fall, it is a dazzling fireball to the extreme, within a few meters around. The living people will be torn to pieces, and the soldiers who are a little farther away will also be blown out of the distance by the terrible explosion and hit the wall fiercely. Even some unlucky people will be blown directly off the wall, screaming and rammed to the ground and turning into a pool of meat mud.

At least hundreds of cannons were firing at the same time. If it hadn't been for the quick opportunity at that time, if the soldiers around him at that time hadn't guarded him one after another... Touching a new red new scar next to his cheek, Yan Minghan couldn't help shivering.

--------------------

This doesn't count. After he fled to the Guilin Mansion, he saw that the Liang family army stopped moving forward. He thought that these rebels had been weak. Who could have expected that, and then, one bad news came like snowflakes.

After Liang Pengfei fell in the whole territory of Guangdong, Guangxi was occupied by Guangxi in addition to its own Guilin Mansion, as well as a shocking war report from Yunnan and Fujian, which made him really unable to believe where Liang Pengfei came from?

Now, through Zhao Yi's letter, Yan Minghan has at least 80% of what he wrote in the letter. I'm afraid this Liang Pengfei has long planned to rebel against the Qing Dynasty. However, with such a large power, he can be so tolerant, which is really a terrible and terrible person.

And his current situation is extremely difficult. Guangxi has fallen into the hands of Liang Pengfei, and even Liang Pengfei's troops have been stationed in Guizhou, and the border of Hunan, which borders Guilin Prefecture, happens to be the place where the rebel Miao people and Bailian are concentrated against the crowd.

In the front, tens of thousands of people stared at the white lotus religion, and then Liang Pengfei's army lay on the side couch. If it hadn't been for the sufficient food and fodder in Guilin, and Admiral Yan Minghan had always ruled the army rigorously, I'm afraid that Guilin City would have been broken down long ago.

However, what Yan Minghan didn't expect was that many of the merchants in Guilin City had deep ties with the thirteen lines, and Wang Jing was able to enter the city to see himself. Those merchants made a lot of efforts. What does this mean?

It can only be said that the gentry and merchants in Guilin City are not iron-plate, but Yan Minghan does not want to move those merchants and gentry in Guilin Mansion. In the past few years, they have set up group exercises, started volunteer schools, built bridges and paved roads, which have been praised by the people.

Besides, among the more than 10,000 soldiers in Guilin, there are more than 3,000 local regiments to assist in the defense of the city. This is only on the surface. Who knows if they have other forces in private.

Although Yan Minghan is a minister of the Qing Dynasty, he is not the kind of idiot who reads his head as a stupid bird. Yan Minghan thinks about it with his toes. If he really arrests those gentry and merchants on the charge of anti-thief, not to mention whether the more than 3,000 regimental soldiers can be stabilized, in case he really stops. Liang Jiajun, who was outside Guilin Mansion, was pissed off, and he could not escape.

Don't forget that my relatives are still in Liuzhou now. Isn't this the case with these subordinates who escaped to Guilin?
