As a result, mud and sand fell, not only making the Qing army passive, but also the people suffered.

"Is there such a thing?"

Jia Liu was also confused. If what Zheng Dajin said was true, he was not recruiting peace, but harboring filth and evil, destroying the people's last illusions about the Qing Dynasty, and indirectly helping the Han Dynasty Army to clean up its ranks.

More importantly, if these unbearable surrender troops cause trouble, his silver bullet offensive will turn into a joke.

"Recently, it has been found that many returning soldiers sneak back to their homes at night, resulting in a decrease in combatants, making it impossible to verify."

"There are also many soldiers and sergeants who were paid for repatriation, wearing our Qing military uniforms and staying around everywhere. Most of these people are idlers, addicted to prostitution and gambling, taking advantage of the situation to show off, and commit crimes."

"There are ordinary stragglers who do not return to the ranks, collude with ruffians outside, and run rampant in evil and deceit. They often go in and out of teahouses and wine shops in groups, squandering money or falsely accusing good people, extorting money, or staying with prostitutes for gambling, and all kinds of evil

The traces are too numerous to enumerate.”

Zheng Dajin became more and more excited as he talked.

"The prince treated these surrendered soldiers favorably, but these surrendered soldiers did not understand the prince's intentions. After surrendering, they broke into private houses and robbed people, disrupted military discipline, ruined the reputation of our Qing Dynasty, and also ruined the reputation of the prince!"

After listening to what Zheng Dajin said, Jia Liu touched his forehead and said to himself: "Do you think these people think I am stupid for having too much money?"

"."

No one, including Zheng Dajin, dared to say anything, but it was generally very close to the truth.

"Let's have a meeting."

Whenever there is a major event, Jia Liu will hold a meeting.

What was held this time was not a joint meeting of the military and government of the Qing Dynasty, nor a special meeting of the Gongjinhui, but a meeting convening the surrendered generals who had surrendered one after another.

For this reason, Ji Yun was asked to send a notice to the surrendered generals to arrive at Zhongxiang within five days.

"Those who are willing to come to the meeting, I can give them a chance. Those who are unwilling to come to the meeting,"

Jia Liu didn't say it, but he really hadn't killed someone for a long time.

Wuchang City, Yellow Crane Tower.

This building was rebuilt no less than ten times in history, but was either destroyed by war or lightning strikes. The current building was rebuilt by Shi Yizhi, the governor of Huguang in the first year of Qianlong's reign.

Today, a governor of Huguang also came to the Yellow Crane Tower, but it was Chen Huizu.

Wang Wenyuan, the prefect of Wuchang, accompanied Chen Huizu to the building.

Both of them were officials of the Qing Dynasty more than a year ago. This Wang Wenyuan was an official promoted by Lao Chen and he personally wrote a letter to persuade him to surrender.

When they reached the top of the building, the two of them looked into the distance, both looking heavy.

Just because the current situation is obviously unfavorable to the Xinghan Army.

After a while, Old Chen took out a letter from his sleeve and gave it to Wang Wenyuan.

Wang Wenyuan took it in confusion and was stunned after reading it: "What kind of faucet stick?"

"It probably means the big seal of the mutual aid association."

Lao Chen is not sure whether the dragon-headed stick mentioned by Prince Rui refers to the big seal in the meeting, but he feels it should be.

"Mutual aid club?"

Wang Wenyuan was not high enough in the past, so he had never heard of the Mutual Aid Association, a secret society voluntarily organized by the Qing governors.

Lao Chen hesitated for a moment and briefly explained the mutual aid association's program and motivation for its establishment.

Wang Wenyuan hesitated after hearing this: "Is the Taiwanese master also a mutual aid member?"

"It used to be."

Lao Chen looked a little lonely. He was one of the first members of the mutual aid association, but he didn't expect to be expelled from the association today.

After hearing this, Wang Wenyuan thought of the one hundred thousand taels mentioned in the letter, and couldn't help but "thumped" and whispered: "Does Taitai intend to return to the Qing Dynasty?"

"It's not about returning to the Qing Dynasty, it's about returning to the society."

After experiencing a battle between heaven and man in his heart, Lao Chen told Wang Wenyuan: "Put 300,000 taels of silver in the treasury and secretly send it to Prince Yu Rui. Remember, this matter must not be known to a third person."

"this"

Wang Wenyuan was startled for a moment and said with some confusion: "Sir, didn't Prince Rui give you one hundred thousand taels?"
