On the painting boat in the Xijiachi Garden outside Xiangyang City, today is finally the turn of the rest day, and it happens to be the day when Qingluo and the small pendant are partnered together.
The Qingluo, which has grown in full length, looks more snow-skinned, graceful and graceful. Sitting together with the picturesque, slender and petite pendants, she has a sense of comfort and comfort that makes people calm down inexplicably.
Inside the cool breezy cabin, she used her most prominent part to set off and matched her slender fingers, gently kneading Zhou Huaian's head and neck with her eyes closed and rested. On the one hand, he talked about some of the daily affairs handled by the back house.
"Yun wants to wear clothes,
The spring breeze blows the threshold of Revlon.
If it’s not for Qunyu Mountain, see you,
Will meet Yaotai under the moon. . . "
The small pendant is humming a song, but it is composed of Li Bai's "Qing Ping Tiao" as the lyrics. I don't know why she likes such imperial and palace style lyrics and music; but humming it with the uniquely clear and empty Luo-style light tone, it has a unique ancient rhyme flavor.
It's just that she occasionally asked some questions to Zhou Huaian, who closed her eyes and calmed down:
"Langjun, what is a human setting..."
"That's the feature that each of you admire for me."
"Then why do we dress up in weird and weird role-playing?"
"Naturally, it adds to the fun of life; I'm afraid it's not good to stay together, so avoid the immutable boringness, and occasionally change the tricks. Doesn't it also feel refreshing?"
"Then why do you like to listen to people sing "Yushu**" and "Poppy" such an (subjugated) vague tune?"
"Because you can remind me at any time, what are the consequences of being idle, playing and ignoring business!"
"Actually, I want to ask Mr. Lang for some grace... It's about Sister A..."
The little pendant suddenly put down the book in his hand and said:
"Are you saying that the Guiyi Army might become an enemy of the Metropolitan Governor’s Mansion? You don’t need to ask for any kind of grace. I know that the Guiyi Army is the Guiyi Army. She is her. These years, in order to maintain your thoroughness, I think It's all in my eyes..."
Zhou Huaian couldn't help but open his eyes and squeezed her face, and smiled lightly:
"Actually... Actually... I want to ask Lang Jun whether he can accept A sister by his side... so that you can feel at ease inside and out..."
The little pendant was hesitant to speak, but still mustered the courage to say: Hearing this, Qing Luo's movements only paused, obviously she was psychologically prepared for it.
"I don't know, does this mean you or her..."
Zhou Huaian couldn't help but his face was startled, but he sighed deeply:
"This is not only my selfish intention, but also some difficulties of A sister..."
At this point, the small pendant said mournfully and resolutely:
"Sister A wants to guard me, and I also want to ask A sister a way to survive... instead of ending up depressed in the fear of people..."
"Then do you know the consequences and costs of doing this... even in name, it represents a huge relationship and hidden resources! Are you and she psychologically prepared accordingly?"
Zhou Huaian continued:
"Changpu knows it, but what if it can be helpful for the returnees, and even the situation in the northwest?"
Instead, the tone of the small pendant became a little determined.
"Huh? Then take the time to talk in person. I can't ask for this thing. I have to see what the person wants..."
Zhou Huaian felt the warm and heavy heartbeat of Qingluo and the still unhurried movements. After a moment of thought, he said: Then, he found that he was locked up again and couldn't concentrate on speaking, and the back of his head was also rustling. There was a more intuitive touch from the sound of the occasional tussle.
However, this kind of happy time always flies quickly. When Zhou Huaian regained his physical and mental state, he saw the small boat rowing over to report the news again. After a while, he appeared in the hall of the public hall of the city's section office, listening to the opinions of the high-level Taiping army who had been summoned temporarily.
"So, Yang Xingmin also sent envoys? Isn't this the tripartite forces that are in contact with our army, are all alive?"
"So I'm afraid that there will be major changes in Huainan in Jiangbei? What attitude should I hold in the general governor's house?"
"There is no reason to hesitate, since Liu Hanhong dared to give it, don't we dare to take it! It's important to put the site population down for security first..."
"Isn't that also fulfilling his intentions and letting our troops eliminate disasters for him? Isn't the most important thing to keep the relative balance of Huainan's situation?"
"For this reason, what are the taboos of Yang Xingmin's servant? What is the benefit of a little negotiation of money and food; in short, it is the most important thing that can not make him grow bigger easily?"
"As for Lu Yongzhi, everyone knows what that demon way is, and he actually has the face to negotiate terms with our Metropolitan Government in Huainan?"
"I think you don't need to think about the relationship of this person at the moment, just do your own thing; the key lies in Yang Xingmin's body?..."
"I think it's better to take a closer look; you can first make the preparations and means to intervene, continue to sit and watch these three, and finally you can work hard to what extent you think it is safe..."
"You can consider mobilizing and mobilizing the three major defense zones along the Yangtze River for deterrence and temptation, and then making a decision based on the follow-up response; however, it is necessary to avoid excessive intervention in the early stage, so that it will be taboo and stop fighting. , I thought it would correspond?"
"I think it is necessary to consider the attitudes of the three schools in Huainan? What is the purpose and proposition of my Taiping Army? Wouldn't it make more scholars and people live..."
"I also think so. Since there is a chance to intervene in it, I naturally acted at the moment, whether Liu Hanhong or Yang Xing was stunned. Whoever dares to hinder our actions without opening his eyes should be eliminated..."
Zhou Huaian listened to their military discussions, but at the same time he thought about the power pattern of the Taiping Army. After retiring from the customs, it was transferred to a state of rest and recuperation. The redundant auxiliary troops, temporary armaments, and labor service were disbanded. In addition, the autumn harvest started less than a month ago. There is no need to start another battlefield war.
Today, the Taiping Metropolitan Government probably maintains the two major military clusters on the north and east of Jiangdong 3rd Road with Shannan Dongdao as the core. Among them, the northern cluster of Shandong Road, while maintaining a deterrent and support posture for the customs, also passes through the Tongbai Mountains and the Funiu Mountains, and maintains a limited neighboring state with all parties in Henan and Liu Hanhong in Huaixi, respectively.
The function of the Jiangdong cluster is more to maintain the newly started Jiangdong Three Road, and the ongoing local transformation work, land reclamation, and construction of workshops will provide corresponding deterrent and repressive defensive forces. The military presence and pressure in Huainan were mainly maintained by the navy.
Therefore, the intervention of the forces on that side also determines which military cluster will be the mainstay for the next step of strategic deployment and military operations. The public statements and disputes of the generals on the scene actually represent the opportunities related to the two military clusters and the positions of the mountains behind them.
However, this is also the normal state that any political force that has reached a mature stage must face. Zhou Huaian only needs to make appropriate adjustments and trade-offs to maintain the normal state of promoting and restricting each other with healthy competition. However, an urgent notice sent in soon made Zhou Huaian unable to remain silent any longer.
Seeing that he gently waved his hand, the controversy in the hall was quickly settled, and then he spoke:
"The secret line emergency report from the city of Yangzhou, the rebellion against Shi Lu Yongzhi in Huainan has broken out, and the chaos and looting of various people have swept the city;"
"In addition, at the same time as the news was released, it has been confirmed that the soldiers and horses of the Shouhao Army in Yangzhou have taken the initiative to launch attacks on the outskirts of Hailing City..."
"So, there is no need to continue the discussion. The war has already begun. Then it is our turn to decide how to end it as soon as possible..."
Of course Zhou Huaian knew that the Guangling monster chaos that had happened in history was about to come to an end quickly in this time and space. If he does not intervene and continues to sit and watch his success or failure, Yang Xingmin, who finally entered the city of Yangzhou, will have a household registration of hundreds of thousands at his peak, and the world’s most wealthy town of 500,000 to 600,000 people. The famine and slaughter dropped sharply to only a few hundred households, a ghost town built on the ruins of corpses.
This is inconsistent with the Taiping Army’s propositions and purposes; in the Taiping Army’s long-term plan, the corresponding resources and population of the last-day country of the legitimate dynasty can be preserved. One point is one point; even if the criminals belong to the Taiping Army. There are also suitable uses and places within the system. It's a pity that it was wasted in the local warlord's battle.
The generals present also showed awe-inspiring, solemn and surprised expressions, the same hatred, and even eager expressions, and their fierce and fierce eyes crossed each other. Then Zhou Huaian continued to speak:
"According to my order, a comprehensive mobilization will be carried out on the three roads of Jiangxi, East Zhejiang, and West Zhejiang... The Taihu Boat Division and the coastal water camp will be loaded and transported northward to gather money, food and materials..."
"In addition, the Dongting and Poyang naval forces assembled in Jiangning Town; the three major defense areas along the river provide corresponding proportions of mobilized troops and laborers according to the size of the city and the size of the population..."
"The roads in Hunan, Jingnan, Shandong, and Liangling that have previously participated in the Raiders of the Pass have remained normal, and the Xiajiang Road will be developed accordingly."
"The third battalion of mountain pawns transferred from the base camp, then entered the Tongbai Mountains as a standby; then sent people to the Dugui Road to contact and inquire about the corresponding use of troops in Henan..."
After finishing all these preliminary work, the next step is to choose who will lead the future to coordinate the preliminary situation. Mobilization and assembly of troops and military supplies requires buffer time. Therefore, we need a person who is capable and capable enough to preside over the Jiangbei base and the Jiangdong side to survive the full counterattack from the locality this time.
—I am the dividing line of counterattack —
"Why attack Hailing?"
And in Yangzi Town near Yangzhou City, Yang Xingmin, who had just set up a tent, also screamed:
"It's not a lot of advice, don't act rashly, just watch it in person." (End of this chapter)
