"King Han (Shipu, the envoy of Wuning Army Jiedu) is willing to go to the honorary title. In this regard, the king of Qi is the head of the horse, and the king wants to advance and retreat together as a thief when his lips are dead and his teeth are cold..."
This is the first to bear the brunt of the moment. It is reasonable that Pengcheng is only a few tens of miles away from the Taiping Army forward, Shipu, the messenger sent for help.
"King Lu (Zhu Jin, the Taining Army Jiedu envoy) is willing to go to the king, and hand over the Jingjie and the site, so that he can lead his department to be a pawn under the king, thinking that he can protect the border and attack the thieves..."
The conditions for the envoys sent by Zhu Xuan, who led the remnants of the Taining army and the army was determined to resist desperately.
"Majesty, Cai thief Qin has always been asking for the kidnapping of Xu Caibo's children in some places; but when the Taiping thief comes, it is to seize the wealth of our generation and the future of wealth and wealth for generations!"
It was Wang Jingwu's staff and officials who had received enough bribes and entrustments, and they almost unwilling to show weakness one after another bitterly complained about their interests and harmed them from various angles.
However, surrounded by these voices, the Pinglu Army Jiedu Shi/Qi Wang Jingwu; there is something indisputable or indecisive. The reason is also very simple. He and his family members can make tens of thousands of dollars every year just through the business of harvesting and selling the sintered dumplings.
This does not take into account the other indirect benefits and collateral benefits brought by those coastal and transit businesses; at least even if the Taiping Army is killed right now, the Taining (Yanhai) Army and the Wuning Army are always at the forefront ( Xu Si) two families, and his elbow and axillary problem is always Lu Longjun, who is across the river in Dizhou.
In such a situation where external troubles continue, it is really difficult to tell him to give up the meat in his mouth/occupying the land he has been late, and to spend money and divide his forces to assist the other two.
On the other hand, compared to Shipu, who is relatively young and powerful, or Zhu Xuan brothers who are in their prime of life, he is already fifty-two years old; the increase in age brings not only seniority, authority, and thoughtfulness, but also It also makes people more conservative and stable, and avoid risks.
You know, he took it from An Shiru back then, and has been in this handsome position for only seven or eight years; and his eldest son, Wang Shifan, is only fifteen years old. Therefore, he usually thinks more about how to pass on his position smoothly in the hands of the Wang family.
Therefore, in the past few years, in addition to competing with neighbouring forces for territory and resisting strong threats from Hebei, what he has to avoid is the Ping Lu Army and getting involved in any large-scale military use opportunities;
Because this also means granting temporary power to others; and once you have made credit or gained enough benefits, it is easy to use this as a way to confuse and inspire soldiers to perform such things as violent and chaotic substitutions. . That was how he took the opportunity to replace his predecessor, An Shiru.
But on the other hand, if the commander personally leads the army on an expedition, there is also a corresponding risk. The predecessor of Weibo Jiedushi Han Jian is the best example. The Han family has been passed down to three generations in Weibo Town, and it can be said that it is deeply rooted.
However, after Han Jian’s successive defeats in Henan’s expedition to Henan, the rear rebellion caused by the backlash from the army caused the Han family to manage the efforts and arrangements for several generations, and was uprooted overnight. Extinct.
Although Wang Jingwu's ancestors were originally from a family of generals in a dental school, he still confessed that he was far from the other side's background. Therefore, since his reign, he has been exhausting every moment to seize power, and while trying his best to include inside and outside, he has worked hard to increase income and reduce expenditure to fill his pockets.
In his actions, he only seeks practical gains instead of ruining reputation. In the face of Lu Longjun who swept through Cangzhou, Hebei, when the right situation is not as good as the others, he will never do it when he is weak; but once there is an opportunity, even if the allies who are advancing and retreating should cut the meat, they should still take advantage of the fire. No mercy.
Even if it is a temporary advantage, even if he is allowed to pay tribute to the Huang clan in the pass, it will not hesitate to pay tribute. Therefore, although there have been many twists and turns and changes over the years, the Pinglu Army, the most powerful of the three towns on the Huai River, was basically brought down and down.
His faction of tigers and wolves has also won him an alias and a strange reputation among the military, civilians, and neighbors.
Of course, it is necessary to maintain the posture of the "Three Kings Alliance" that has just been re-established. Therefore, while making constant and vowed guarantees for internal banquets, he would never mobilize troops easily; on the other hand, he sent eighty ships of grain, grass and armor to Xuzhou and Yizhou through the Caohe branch canal in Surabaya.
The best result for him is that Wu Ning Army and Tai Ning Army can block the Taiping Army to the west of Surabaya. The Qi State, which is dominated by Ping Lu Army, can stay peacefully in the rear to recuperate, watching the fire from the shore and waiting for opportunities. Fuel up to maintain a basic balance of power and trade-offs.
This of course can preserve the complete strength of the Ping Lu army, and in the future world structure, there will be more bargaining chips and credentials that can be used for bargaining. In fact, since the two capitals were returned to the Taiping Army, this trend of taking control of the Central Plains has become clear.
However, they were accustomed to dominate their own three-acre land, and all life and death were taken into one body, and the marshals who were called "the emperor sitting on the ground" took the initiative to surrender their authority and belong to the world. Not that easy and simple thing.
Therefore, under the involvement of many internal and external interests, everything has to be foresight before the possibility of subsequent negotiations; if the three towns of Huai Shang can resist the Taiping army for a longer time, it will even make them retreat. , The capital to be sold in the future will naturally become stronger.
After a few years of procrastination, compared with the Wuning Army and the Taining Army, which have been continuously bleeding and weakened in the midst of losing their troops, the Pinglu Army, which retains its basic strength and chassis, will completely master the basic dominance of this alliance in disguise. ；
Then, consider looking for an opportunity to sell it for a good price, in exchange for a position of authority and good treatment in the new dynasty, and while safely completing the inheritance of the king of Qi/Ping Lujun, it will also continue the wealth and glory of the Wang family. ；
However, it seems that the number of people who can understand his painstaking efforts and original intention is really limited. Therefore, just after sending the last wave, the second day from Hebei Lu Longjun spying on the false and real messengers, Wang Jingwu, who was still in Xinna and did not know that the tens of room concubines were in the arms, suddenly received a sudden news:
"This morning, the young marshal (Wang Shifan) suddenly took the Houya children and went to Jilufang outside the north gate of (Yidu) city..."
"Damn it... the ignorant kid will mistake me for something big!!"
Wang Jingwu couldn't help but shouted angrily: In a sense, a well-known thing, isn't this Jilufang outside the north gate of (Yidu) the city where the people who have been to and from the south for a long time reside and stay
But I don't know if my stupid son was bewitched and irritated by someone, and he was rushed to confront these people from the southern background. Does he think he is? Ban Dingyuan or Chen Tang and Li Guangli
If the Wu Ning Army and the Tai Ning Army had not yet fought, and the Taiping Shui Army's revenge and the seaway blockade were provoked here, it would really make people laugh out of their teeth.
—I am the instigated dividing line —
In the former Jingzhao Mansion in the city of Chang'an, among the many temporary departments of the Beijing Control Committee, there is a small festive atmosphere from top to bottom.
Because, with the massive investment in prisoners of war and labor, the telegraph line from Jiangling to Chang'an has been repaired and put into commissioning. Coupled with the previous route, in theory, the news of departure from Guangfu can be known to Chang'an after half a day to a day.
The latest piece of news is that the production capacity of Lingnan Iron and Steel, centered in Nanhai (now Foshan City, Guangdong) County, has doubled as a result of the ballast bilge of the ship group, as a result of obtaining a large number of high-quality iron ore sources from Tianzhu Zhengtuo, especially It is a relatively high-end industrial steel and gun steel.
The next step is to build the telex lines and siding signal towers that extend to Liangzhou in the northwest and from Xiegu Road, Chencang Road, and Tangluo Road to Jiannan Sanchuan on the basis of the original station and premises.
And this kind of signal tower and telex line, as two sides in the future, can compare with each other, complement each other, and correct errors. They will coexist and operate for a long time until they are completely replaced by a mature and developed telex network. .
Therefore, as a celebration of the opening of the telecommunications line, the canteens of the various departments of the Shanghai Beijing Control Commission have also mobilized and slaughtered hundreds of pigs and sheep; and replaced the most common canned stews in daily life. Irregular supply of fresh meat dishes.
Therefore, Chen Buyi, one of the senior members of the Daozhengfang patrol squadron, one of the 16th sub-districts of the Lower Chengnan of the Shangjing Control Committee, also hiccups almost to his throat, and his hands are also filled with fresh braised mutton. And the wooden box for roasting pig's knuckles, and walked towards the door one step at a time.
He himself is the former ambassador of the various gates and the old ministry of Yin Mengkai, the young man of the Jingzhao government. He was also an insider who had been linked to the Taiping Army early and secretly led to the coming years; he personally participated in and experienced two Chang'an offensive and defensive battles, and survived. Old man coming down.
Therefore, he also had his eldest brother Chen Buju who had separated since the beginning of photovoltaics, and now he is holding an important post in Xiangzhou’s Anti-Rebellion Association; another elder brother Chen Guanshui died in the second Changan offensive and defensive street battle; Miao Zhenggenhong under the new and old system.
Therefore, after the Taiping Army took over and rebuilt the patrol team in Chang'an City, a group of elderly people, including Chen Buyi, who were relatively familiar with the city’s market conditions, became the first batch of key members who were trained and appointed to serve. , And continue to shine in this Chang'an City.
Although most of them were appointed as deputy positions, the corresponding authority and treatment are exactly comparable to those in the military; such as the deputy of the Daozhengfang Patrol (Squadron) squadron held by Chen Buyi, except once a month. In addition to the 200-year salary and allowances, there is also a quota for various canned medicines of rice, oil, and salt.
And these things, in today's Chang'an city, which is waiting to be flourished and has relatively low market prices, is much more effective and stiff than normal money. Therefore, Chen Buyi, who can eat at the public cafeteria all day long, took these things with ease and became a popular benefactor in the streets of Hualiu.
It's just that this time it is much more difficult for him to spend a few vouchers to pack these new meats back home, but he wants to have a good day with him just now, have a few drinks, and then enjoy the hospitality and eagerness of the other party's service.
However, when he approached the door of his rental courtyard with expectation, he saw a few figures waiting outside wearing blue uniforms and cloaks, and he suddenly woke up from the full of thoughts and changed. Become a deep cold sweat on the back. (End of this chapter)
