Chapter 198 Depressed Master Zhou

"This battle can destroy Yuan Kou, Lord Zhou has made great contributions. I have handed over to the emperor to show his merits." Longkodo set up a banquet in Jiujiang City. Today, the people participating in the battle are all heroes of the Jiujiang Battle. As an important minister in the court, Longkodo, the emperor's brother-in-law and commander of the Jiangxi Battle, personally poured Zhou Zhongliang a glass of wine and said to him with a smile.

"This is all the achievements of the emperor's strategist and fighting in Longzhongtang. The servant just did his best. Zhongliang went astray before, but now he can get lenient to the emperor and return to the Qing Dynasty. The servant is even more happy. Now he is surging and can't help himself..." Zhou Zhongliang took the wine glass with his hands with fear, with tears in his eyes, and he is even more excited about being able to call him a servant now.

That's right, Zhou Zhongliang is finally a slave now. Don't forget that he is also a bannerman. Moreover, the long hair he had accumulated before had been shaved off, and he changed his money tail to a rat tail. He was even more excited by the brand new governor's robe from the second-rank official robe. He finally had to taste this long wish for many years. Even if he died, Zhou Zhongliang was worth it.

"Okay! What a good slave!" After hearing such loyal words, Longkodo was very happy. He destroyed Yuan Qi's army and regained all parts of Jiangxi. Longkodo fought beautifully in this battle. After Kangxi learned about it, he would definitely be very happy. When he turned around and went north to meet with the Central Plains tribes and destroyed Zhu Jiancai's army, the rebels in the world would be Zhu Yicheng, who was the emperor in Nanjing.

Zhou Zhongliang didn't dare to say that after he had finished drinking, he flattered again, which made Longkodo even more happy.

"General Bao, General Bao turned against him in the field before, and it would be difficult to take Yuan Qi down. Come on, let's drink this cup!" Longkodo said to a general wearing a fifth-rank official uniform. This general was called Bao Jian. Yuan Qi attacked Shaoxing after the rebels in Yuyao. Bao Jian was the garrison of Shaoxing Prefecture. It was also the city gate that he killed the military officer and the Tongzhi opened, which led to Shaoxing being occupied by the rebels.

After joining the Yuan army, Bao Jian became a small leader in the rebel army and then participated in the sneak attack on Qiantang Wharf, making great contributions to Yuan Qi's successful siege of Hangzhou.

After the failure of the Hangzhou War, Bao Jian followed Yuan's troops to escape by chance. Yuan Qi made several ups and downs. Bao Jian was among them. Over time, Yuan Qi gradually gained trust in this guy who threw him from the Qing army. After taking Jiangxi, he rewarded him for his merits. Bao Jian not only granted him the position of general, but also received a reward of hereditary commander.

It can be said that Yuan Qi is quite good at Bao Jian, but he never expected to turn against him in the last battle and turn the gun to defeat him. The person who turned the gun to the point of defeat was Bao Jian.

Before the war, Bao Jian had already secretly colluded with Zhou Zhongliang. Compared with other people in the rebel army, they were both birds of a feather. They were both working for the Qing court, one as a master, the other as a military general, and both surrendering to save their lives. Now the Qing court has privately recruited and promised their glory and wealth. How can they control it under this temptation?

The left wing commanded by Bao Jian led to the defeat of Yuan Qi. Zhou Zhongliang took advantage of Yuan Qi's battle outside to secretly control Jiujiang Liying and Hexian City, which caused Yuan's troops to suffer a destruction. It can be said that these two people made great contributions to the capture of Jiangxi this time, and of course Longkodo would like to respect these two people.

Bao Jian was also very frightened and expressed his loyalty in front of Longkodo. Longkodo nodded with satisfaction, then seemed to notice the grade of the official robe that Bao Jian was wearing, and asked Bao Jian about his current official position in surprise.

When he learned that Bao Jian had abandoned the secret and turned to the light and was only restored to the garrison, Longkodo was a little dissatisfied and even said in front of Bao Jian that General Bao was the garrison and had made such great contributions to the Qing Dynasty. Is it even worse for our Qing Dynasty? The gangster still knew that rewarding the meritorious ministers, and it was really aggrieved to use General Bao's merits as a garrison.

After thinking about it, Longkodo immediately announced that Jiujiang Town has been in name only since Jiujiang fell into Yuan Qi's hands. Now that Jiujiang is liberation, Jiujiang Town needs to be rebuilt. It is better for Bao Jian to temporarily take charge of the position of General Jiujiang and rebuild Jiujiang Town. He will also submit the matter to Emperor Kangxi in detail, which is not a problem.

Hearing this, Bao Jian was overjoyed. He suddenly went from a fifth-rank garrison to a second-rank military officer, and was a general in the town with real power. Bao Jian quickly kowtowed and thanked Longzhongtang for his great kindness. After Longkodo helped Bao Jian up, he not only comforted him with kindness, but also sighed that he could not make the meritorious officials wronged him, and told others that the meritorious personnel who regained Jiujiang were to mark him one by one, and he had to review it himself. If it was unreasonable to be named, he had a responsibility and obligation to make up for it as a senior official in the court.

Longkodo's words made everyone present even more overjoyed. They beat Qianqian one by one, kowtowed and kowtowed, shouting the emperor's wise and wise words. Several people couldn't help but shed tears and wiped the corners of their eyes with their sleeves and started crying.

But at this time, only one person's face looked extremely ugly, that was Zhou Zhongliang, the biggest hero. The people present could be said to have been secretly won over by him, and their official positions were also promised by Zhou Zhongliang. It was not that he did not want to give them higher official positions, but firstly, he had restrictions on official positions when he received the lawsuit. For the sixth rank of civil servants and fifth rank of military officers, Zhou Zhongliang could fill in any person's name on it and hand it over to the Ministry of Revenue.

Therefore, Zhou Zhongliang could not make the decision at all, just like Bao Jian, who was more than the sixth rank of civil servants and fifth rank of military officers. Just like Bao Jian, he could at most promise a fifth rank guard, let alone others.

Secondly, Zhou Zhongliang also has his own little one in his heart. The people he has attracted must belong to his party. After joining the Qing court, Zhou Zhongliang also needs his own wings to protect his status in the Qing court. If the other party's official position is too high and even threatens his status, then what's the point of doing this?
