The turmoil and turmoil that occurred during this period, coupled with the impact on the locality, are quite obvious; boats along the river are still in constant flow, but the corresponding ferry ports and towns have become depressed. a lot of.
And those new workshops and workshops set up along the water's edge were temporarily abandoned, and became empty and ruined. However, fortunately, the corresponding industrial workers and craftsmen were concentrated in the cities where the troops were stationed.
Therefore, what is affected is mainly the corresponding production schedule and the loss of equipment and raw materials; as long as there is sufficient input afterwards, it can still be recovered. The same goes for the villages that have a certain degree of semi-production armed forces.
In contrast, the ones that have suffered more are the villages and towns of the people; the ruins and ruins that have been burned and looted can be seen almost from time to time. Even where it was saved, it was filled with traces of smoke and fire that had been attacked.
At a temporary meeting of the Chinese army in a large farming station along the river, Zhou Huaian said to the generals on the left and right.
"Leave aside the Shannan Army's offensive that is being dealt with in Jiangling. Now there are still enemies coming from the four roads in Hunan. We will only go to one place..."
"Xiang Zhu himself is a local barbarian leader with an impedimental status, but he may not be stable under the rule; Song Hao's so-called Jingnan Army is also from outside, and the foundation for local echoes is insufficient; and Zhou Yue in Shaozhou has the most limited power. Fighting is not enough to form a deterrent..."
"So let's focus on one place and focus on the strongest Lei Man... His Langzhou is mostly the land of Pingchuan Water and Zee around Dongting... It is easier to outflank and encircle annihilate with the cooperation of the navy..."
Since Zhu Cun, as his deputy at this time, took the first step with more than 20,000 new pawns, as well as a larger number of servants and craftsmen, he boarded the ship and returned to Jiangling along the river from Jiangning; therefore, at this time, he should be with Chai Ping. Join together to deal with the offensive from Shandong Jiedu Shi Liu Jurong.
Cao Shixiong, who is second only to him in terms of qualifications and level, stayed in the enclave of the Xuanrunjiang three states on the east road of Zhenjiang in Jiangning; and Huo Cun in Ezhou ensured a continuous control zone along the river.
While maintaining the basic water and land communication lines along the river and alerting the movement of the Huainan camp on the other side of the river, it is also responsible for supporting and guiding those peripheral armed forces and other rebels that are operating within the territory of Xuanshe and Liangzhe.
There is also another important general, Zhang Juyan, who also led a team from Hongzhou to the south after the Yuzhang battle, chasing and suppressing the remnants of the fugitive "Jiangxi Observer" Gao Maoqing, and his so-called "Jizhou Tale". Kyrgyzstan and godly rebel forces headed by.
In the next step, it will form a north-south echoing and pinching force with Cheng Dabite, who was ordered to send troops from Shaoguan, Shaozhou, to annihilate or defeat the local armed forces that flowed from places such as Rao and Xin.
On the other hand, the wars and disputes in Fujian showed no signs of victory or defeat for the time being; and the resulting wave of escapes was almost reduced to a negligible emperorship. Therefore, the importance and pressure of neighboring Jiaoling Pass has been greatly reduced over time.
Laoguan’s duty of garrisoning in the local area can also be liberated, and with the Eighth Army, which supplemented its troops from the Chaoxun area, went northward to Jiangxi territory through Dingzhou to deter those local forces that dared to be the enemy of the Taiping Army. Strike and annihilate.
Therefore, for those old rebel generals who had enough experience and qualifications to lead troops and were able to be used, now Gao Jichang and Guo Yan are left beside Zhou Huai'an, and they have not yet been assigned the corresponding responsibilities.
However, Guo Yan's work in the local anti-countermeasures and the Tuntian work was not bad, which was above the average level of the rebel generals; therefore, Zhou Huai'an should be regarded as letting him go one step further and, as the alternate master, should shoulder the role of the Tanzhou defense zone. The important task comes.
Thinking of this, Zhou Huaian continued to assign other people's words:
"Wu Xingchen, I will give you the cooperation of four battalions and a battalion of naval forces, and go south to wait for the opportunity to invade the territory of Shaozhou to contain Zhou Yue's troops..."
"Su Wuming, you take a battalion to Yuezhou to integrate the scattered forces along the Dongting Lake, especially the boaters and fishermen in the cooperative villages to mobilize, and try to drag Lizhou Xiangzhu army's footsteps..."
"Until the main formation led by me successfully defeated Leimansuo in Langzhou..."
At this time, there was a waiter who opened the tent and sent in an urgent report.
"What, which way Zhou Yue has initially solved?..."
Later, Zhou Huaian got a surprising news.
"As an investigative outpost, Zhao Yingong met an old man who had a life-saving friendship in the past? To persuade the opponent to attack and kill Zhou Yue in the army, and his subordinates are now fighting and ruining away?"
It was the Jiangxi general Min Xie who was stationed in Annan and his subordinate Deng Chuna from Shaozhou who did this; they were originally one of the conscripts who were transferred from Jiangxi provinces when Gao Pian regained Annan.
Later, Huangchao sank into Lingnan and cut off the grain route from the inland to Annan; their local defense soldiers for many years also became popular; coupled with the seizure of power by Zeng Yan and the Annan civil strife; these Annan soldiers also took their own initiative Fled away.
Min Xie and Deng Chune were one of them; but their return journey was not smooth, and they encountered an attack by the local Xiyuan barbarian and a conflict between the local soil group. As a result, this walk was a waste of several years. In the end, Only after he was able to return to the territory of the Hunan Observation Envoy, he was recognized by Zhou Yue, who was occupied by Shaozhou, and enlisted.
After this encounter with Zhao Yingong in the field, he conditionally promised to give him the opportunity to return to his hometown and get rewards; therefore, he made up his mind to fight against the Ge and it was effective, and the allied forces composed of the Tu nationality and powerful forces under Zhou Yue's command were dispersed. .
Although there was an accident in its layout, it was an accident that helped me. Thinking of this, Zhou Huaian immediately ordered:
"Wu Xingchen, I'll give you another riding camp for maneuvering to set off quickly south; don't worry about the cities, and try to stop these chaotic Shaozhou army as much as possible..."
. . . . . . . . .
In Hengzhou, a small group of variegated men and horses marched along with the Taiping Army's banner.
"The veteran team player, I was born in a shabby family. Anyway, there are not many people left in the family, and I can't find it at the moment. I don't know what to do for the people when we are economic..."
Min Xun, who was stained with blood, was also muttering to Zhao Yingong:
"If you want to kill the government, kill the government. If you want to copy the big ones, you can copy the big ones. It doesn't matter if your rules are stricter. Anyway, this is the way of the world, as long as you have a sense of ability;"
He paused and then showed a look of yearning and coveting:
"But, can you save me three drinks a day...it's your kind that can burn in your mouth..."
Well, this is a typical gangster proletariat who only looks after the eyes. But it is still an object that can be used and modified. Zhao Yingong said to himself in his heart, but he asked back.
"Don't you really take the reward to go to Guangfu, or just send it back to your hometown..."
"I had this idea at first, but after thinking about it, I still feel that we will have the skills that we have trained in this army. I am afraid that other camps will not be able to do it at all;"
Min Xie frankly said with some helplessness.
"Even if you took the money from these hundred and ten horses of silk, it would only be used for a while, and you won't find it for a while; in the end, you don't have to find another job, I'm afraid you won't end up on the Taiping army's land. It's better to pay attention to it. I’m here to stay and find a place to settle down..."
"What's more, now that nobleman in your family is really so good that he is called the'Five Southern Envoys.' Someone is here..."
"Now that he is willing to reuse your old brothers like Guan Guan and Annan, he must be a majestic figure with broad-mindedness regardless of the predecessors; naturally he is not hesitant to give us shabby people a way to survive;
"I heard that you will soon provide generous and generous benefits. The old soldiers and generals who have been working for a long time still have acres to receive; on the contrary, I also ask Team Zhao to look at the savage relations in the same place and give me something to serve the present. Opportunity... Not sure, I can cheat you out of Shaoyang City...Ah"
Hearing this, Zhao Yingong's face that had been calm and sullen loosened slightly, and said.
"You can really stand the rules and conduct of my Taiping Army; you have to start from the bottom five, and go through a period of testing and daily screening..."
"That's why I want you to lend me a chance as a stepping-in to a noble person..."
Min Xie is also true. (End of this chapter)
