The Qing Dynasty is about to end

Chapter 89 Brothers, Mr. Huang is about to have dinner! (Please subscribe, the th update!)
Eight hundred militiamen were not many, not at all, and Wang Kuiyi's share was very small. But it was enough for Sai Shang'a to send his chief advisor Kong Xianglin out of the second gate of the headquarters, and happily invited Wang Kuiyi, who had lost the city of his duty and was still unwilling to behave decently, into the headquarters lobby.

"Mr. Zhongtang, I have lost the city. I am guilty!"

Although he led 800 militiamen into the city, Wang Kuiyi was still a little weak and insecure. When he saw the imperial envoy Sai Shang'a sitting in the hall in his robe and jacket, his calves trembled and he knelt down to apologize.

However, Huang Shijie, who came in with him, was very firm in his stance and refused to kneel even when Wang Kui knelt.

How could Mr. Huang kneel? Mr. Huang was a scholar with a good reputation, so he could meet officials without kneeling!

Moreover, Master Huang has 800 militiamen and is fully qualified to beg for food!

So Mr. Huang now walked towards that station in a carefree manner, and one could tell at a glance that he was an arrogant and domineering militia leader.

Sai Shang'an was a fox who had become cunning. After seeing the performance of Wang Kuiyi and the squire who came with him, he immediately understood who was powerful and who had committed a crime.

So he ignored Wang Kuiyi's apology and looked at the unruly Huang Shijie, asking gently, "What is the name of this gentleman?"

"I am Huang Shijie from Daozhou, a scholar with great achievements!" Huang Shijie clasped his fists and said, "Greetings to the Lord!"

He was a scholar from Daozhou, and he was so arrogant. Needless to say, he was the one who led the 800-man militia!

Sai Shang'a stroked his graying beard and asked, "Mr. Huang, did you bring those 800 regiments from Daozhou?"

"That's right!" Huang Shijie nodded heavily, "Most of these 800 men are Huang's relatives and fellow villagers, and some are former subordinates of General Yu. They followed Huang because they wanted to avenge General Yu.

It's a pity that we are still weak and can't defend Daozhou. Now we have to drift to Quanzhou and hope to beg for food from Saizhongtang!"

As he said this, he bowed to Sai Shang'a and said, "I hope that Mr. Sai will show mercy and take us in, and give us brothers a good meal!"

Oh, are you here to beg, or to beg while standing!
It seems that what the "Anti-Scripture" said is true!
These Han scholars, who seemed to be timid and submissive on weekdays and would borrow any debt just to get a small official position, would dare to beg for food once they had a few soldiers in their hands!
He is just a scholar, but he only has eight hundred soldiers!
If this guy named Huang had 80,000 soldiers, would he have to become "Huang Baobao" or even "Huang Aman"?

But if I don't give this Mr. Huang food, will he cut his braids and become a traitor?
"Okay, okay," Sai Shang'a said, "Huang Xiucai, our department has been ordered to fight against the enemy, and we need loyal people like you! Not only will we allocate food and wages to you, but we will also recommend you to be an official, Huang Xiucai, and start as a deputy county magistrate!"

The principles in the Anti-Scripture are indeed true!

Huang Shijie thought to himself, "I started learning at the age of five and studied hard for twenty years, but I am only a scholar. To become a candidate for county magistrate, I have to take the examinations for Juren and Jinshi, and also pass the selection of the Ministry of Personnel - it's called selection, but in fact it's just buying a candidate position with money.

Now I have 800 militiamen, which saves me the trouble of provincial examinations, ministerial examinations, palace examinations and selections. I don't have to spend a penny, and Sai Shang'a still has to pay me money.

It seems I need to recruit more soldiers. The more soldiers I have, the higher my rank will be. When I beg for food, I can stand straighter and get more money!"

Thinking of this, Huang Shijie bowed to the ground again: "I thank you for your cultivation and promotion. If you have any orders, I will do my best!"

Sai Shang'a smiled and nodded, then said to Master Wang beside him: "Master Wang, please accompany Mr. Huang to count the number of people first, and then discuss how to allocate the food and wages."

"twitter!"

Master Wang agreed and said to Huang Shijie with a smile, "Master Huang, please come in."

Huang Shijie was about to have his meal, so he ignored Wang Kuiyi who was still kneeling there to apologize, and followed Master Wang excitedly, smiling.

Seeing Huang Shijie leave like this, Wang Kuiyi became panicked.

Sai Shang'a, who was sitting in the hall, also put away his smile.

He had no way to deal with Huang Shijie now, because he really brought 800 militiamen with him! Although Sai Shang'a was a high-ranking official, he had very few soldiers under his command. According to the Qing military system, the admiral, general, deputy general, etc., looked like high-ranking officials, but in fact they were just "regimental leaders" who could only lead 2,000 or 1,500 soldiers, and they had to eat some vacancies and drink some blood from the soldiers.

Even if Sai Zhongtang had twenty admirals, generals, and lieutenant generals under him, their total force would only be 30,000.

Meanwhile, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom on the opposite side is expanding its military in Daozhou!
While distributing land and recruiting people, they also recruited miners from Daozhou to join the group. The team expanded by at least 30,000! Adding the original 30,000 or 40,000, the Taiping Army now has at least 60,000 or 70,000 combat-ready soldiers.

The army under Shang'a's command is more than twice as large!

If he didn't recruit some militia from Hunan, Guangxi and Guangdong, what would he use to fight the Taiping Army?
When the Taiping Army completes its military reorganization in Daozhou and attacks again, he, as the imperial commissioner, will probably have to go to Xinjiang to serve.

Therefore, Huang Shijie, the militia leader who can really recruit people, has to be coaxed by Sai Zhongtang now!
The current Sai Zhongtang is not as easy as the three adults in the movie "The Warlords".
But Wang Kuiyi has no soldiers!

If you don’t have soldiers, then you have to take the blame!
Yu Wanqing couldn't be blamed for the fall of Daozhou! Sai Shang'a had received "confirmed news" that Yu Wanqing and his lieutenant commander Wu Shibin had died in Etang.

No matter how badly these two fought, they were undoubtedly loyal heroes of the Qing Dynasty.

How can a loyal hero take the blame? Moreover, Yu Wanqing was not the governor of Daozhou. He was only temporarily stationed in Daozhou to block the Taiping Army.

And Wang Kuiyi has the responsibility to defend the land!

With a "bang", Sai Shang'a slammed the gavel on the table. Knowing that something bad was going to happen, Wang Kui trembled and looked at Sai Shang'a in despair.

Sai Shang'a asked sternly, "Wang Kuiyi, you have lost your army and territory, but you still refuse to die. Do you know your crime?"

"I am humble, humble, humble." Wang Kui trembled and took out a memorial, "This is my humble apology."

A petition of apology?
Very good!
Sai Shang'a was overjoyed. Since you have apologized, it will be easy. The blame will be on you. Whether you go to Caishikou or Xinjiang depends on the mood of the Emperor.

"Your servants Shengbao and Yuanbao respectfully wish the master the best of health!"

In the Bat Hall of Jingcui Garden, the back garden of Prince Gong, the most magnificent palace in Beijing, Prince Gong Yixin, who had just watched the Peking Opera "Fire Cloud Cave" about the fight between Sun Wukong and the Bull Demon King with his father-in-law, the Minister of War Guaerjia Guiliang, finally met his two good servants Shengbao and Yuanbao.

"Get up, everyone, get up. Take your seats! Sit down and talk to me. Don't be polite with me. We are all family." Yi Xin waved his hand politely, and immediately two eunuchs from the prince's mansion brought two round stools for Shengbao and Yuanbao.

The two brothers, Shengbao and Yuanbao, sat properly, with Shengbao resting his hands on his knees, looking like a child who had made a mistake, while Yuanbao put the box of mooncakes into a paper bag and placed it on his legs.

Yi Xin's father-in-law Gui Liang was sharp-eyed and noticed that the paper bag on Yuan Bao's lap was extraordinary, so he asked him: "Yuan Bao, did you bring a gift for the prince? It looks very pleasing to the eye. What does it look like?"

Yuan Bao blushed and explained quickly, "Uncle, this is not a gift for the prince. This is a magic weapon that I found when I was fighting a demon at Suoyi Ferry in Quanzhou. It may also be a snack that the demon carried with him."

"Demon snacks?" Prince Gong Yixin was stunned. "Is it true?"

Gui Liang also asked: "Yuan Bao, you are not making up lies to fool the prince, are you?"

"Really? How dare I lie to my master? This box of mooncakes is the physical evidence of the demon's fall from the sky!" Yuan Bao picked up the mooncake, stood up and took two steps forward, then knelt on one knee and held up the mooncake and the packaging bag, "Please have a look, Your Majesty!"
