In the Dazhai of Hengjiang on the opposite bank of Caishiji/Niuzhuji on the upper reaches of the river, Zhu Cun, the third army general who was the starting general of the Huainan attack army, has just concluded the first military meeting to land in the north of the Yangtze River. .
Then, he came to another place, facing a dozen or so local rebel leaders and local armed chiefs who had been effective or surrendered, under the seat of the Da Ma Jindao, he opened the door:
"I dare not ask for your gratitude and gratitude. Regardless of whether it is life or death, rewards and punishments, it is the right thing to attribute all this to the Metropolitan Government. But you should not guess."
"You must know that the chief governor employs meritocracy, regardless of your background; no matter whether you are a grassroots or an official family, as long as you have a down-to-earth, basic and practical ability, you will dare to use you for work."
"However, on this basis, his old man pays special attention to justice and morality; those who are not in line with my Taiping Army philosophy will never use it. Those with insufficient morality can not use it; do you understand it?"
"But on the contrary, the chief governor is also a loyal person. As long as he can be loyal and diligent without making mistakes, even if he is not enough for great use, he can be able to maintain the good life of the year, or It’s a place to take advantage of the rest of my life..."
"After all, it can be regarded as the source of old knowledge, so according to the rules of the Taiping Army, for the sake of the first righteousness, you can take two paths. If you consciously can’t stand the rules of the Taiping Army, just hand it over. The subordinates took their wealth to the south to buy property and become a wealthy family who can live forever."
"Or those with lofty ideals who intend to join the Qingping world of our army, who also handed over their subordinates to accept reorganization and dispatch, and then took the appointment documents to Jiangling to re-learn the principles of the Taiping Army and the way of fighting affairs. Use as appropriate..."
"Of course, there are also those who don't want to choose either of these two paths. Although they will meet in the future after going out of this door; but if there are people who are greedy for power and wealth and are lucky enough to repeatedly use the first and the mouse at both ends, let us blame our military statement. Unexpectedly!!!"
Although Zhu Cun's tone was not fierce when he said these words, and he did not have much deterrence in conjunction with his somewhat calm and simple appearance; but still shocked that these leaders rushed to each other in cold sweat:
"The villain dare not."
"Thank you for your mention..."
"Only follow oneself..."
However, after they quit one after another with a prudent face, some people couldn't help but complain:
"Anyway, it's the relationship and origins of the cross-strait exchanges for many years. The Taiping army is really unsympathetic. Is it true that we should be forced to go to a dead end?"
However, he was quickly dismayed or scolded by others:
"Shut up, I said don't speculate and speak indiscriminately. If you want to die, don't hurt my future.. ."
"According to the regulations of the other side, you can be a wealthy family even if you don't work well, but if the Taiping army is evil, I am afraid that it will not be a situation where it will be difficult for eternity to turn back after the family has no clan and accumulated descendants!"
"Given the current situation of the Taiping Army, do you still expect to stay with this little horse to do anything, it is not enough for Liu Hanhong or Yang Xingmin to swallow it..."
In the Lianyun fleet queuing across the river, Li Zan, the deputy envoy for the aftermath of Jiangdong 3rd Road, who organized local staff and supplies to come to contact, was also facing a group of relatives and children who gathered around to listen and walk. Half-satisfied and half-sighed, stroking his beard:
"Wait, do you know how long it took for the general governor to send troops this time? The first tens of thousands of horses, equipped in March, are only five days before and after, five days!!"
"From the beginning of Jiangling's order, all parties allocated military supplies and horse-drawn carriages and boats nearby, organized the attendants and tents, and summoned the husband Ding Zhuang to transfer the loss. It only took two days before and after! Two days of effort!"
"Then the army will board the ship from Gangneung and release the unarmed soldiers along the way. The unarmed soldiers who came to gather with their own bags and equipment have already been ordered to collect and build the waiting points in batches at the grain platforms and camps preset in the place. what!!"
"It took only three days before and after, and within three days I arrived near Jiangning; it merged with the local army on the river and began to land on the opposite bank; if the upper and lower soldiers are united and resolute, the world is directly accessible. Who can compare?"
"If the original court still had the ability to work together, strategize, and strategize, why not lose the two capitals and escape from Shu.. This is not due to the destiny of the human heart, so what counts as the destiny?"
"So this Huainan strategy has never been a big problem. What really matters is the layout and arrangement afterwards... This is also where I can fight for you..."
And on the other big ship, after Wang Renshou, who looked rough, stern, and dark, was also facing a young scholar with full of knowledge and qualities beside him:
"Remember, from now on, don't keep talking about Qixian Wangmen, then what is it? We are now a branch of the Yuanzhou Xinyu Wang family, and you are one of my few living relatives. Yes; I still said that, if you don’t know what these matters are, please get off the boat as soon as possible, so as not to burden others?"
"I brought you out of the dead zone of Chang'an City for what? Isn't it for the continuation of the family's ancestors? You must know that I have been involved in such a big relationship, and finally I will recommend you to try this opportunity before the battle. Of places."
"So after I get to the place, I will put down my body and sink my mind, experience the hardships of the people who fight for the promotion of the people, and then think about what I can achieve. The Taiping Army pays attention to the principle of economic affairs. Instead of hiding in the house and studying hard to study knowledge!"
"If it weren't for people who still don't know how to understand the suffering of the people, and if they are good at reconciling them, even if the family of classics has a great reputation, it will not escape the survival and death of being killed one day. But if you can stand firm because of this. With the heels and the hope of getting ahead, the Hedong family that may be in the future will have to rely on my generation to pass on..."
It's in the city of Yangzhou just a hundred miles downstream. Facing the sound of a mountain whistling, Yang Xingmin and his entourage, all dressed in bright armor, also rode their horses into the South Gate Tower of Yangzhou; enjoying the moments of glory and brilliance that came from much attention. And Yang Xingmin, who tried to stretch his face so as not to laugh out loud, was also surging; this was only a few years ago, and this famous capital of Huaizuo and the most wealthy place in the world finally fell into his own hands. Up.
Before that, he thought he would have to fight hard and setbacks before he could succeed. But Lu Yongzhi, who usually escaped from the three caves of the cunning rabbit, gave him a series of surprises. Therefore, he just deployed an array to surround Guangling City, and after taking turns to make a feint, some people were busy opening the door and going out and surrendered.
Of course, Strictly speaking, Guangling City has not yet completely fallen into the hands. The Bi Shiduo, who had been defeated because of the unsatisfactory situation, was still entrenched in the sub-city to the north, and the Gao Linggong was still being held in his hands. But let's look at the people in Yangzhou City at the moment. The hearts of the people in Yangzhou are boundlessly inclined to themselves, because only oneself can bring them the long-lost stability and protection.
In addition, he suppressed and merged many troops in the chaotic war in the city, beheaded the generals and gathered the soldiers and suddenly won more than 20,000 soldiers; he also seized a large amount of money, food and goods that were too late to be burned in the Yunsi and the Salt Institute, claiming to be It was a time when the soldiers were strong. Moreover, because the people in the city regard themselves as the saviour of the hanging, the right time and place to accomplish a foundation are almost complete.
Of course, as the hero who kept the money, food and property, Xiao Shengzheng, the deputy transfer agent of Quan Huainan, walked towards him with a smile on his face, and said "stay behind", wishing to kneel down and lick the roots of his boots. He was so affectionate and eloquent that he made the left and right people secretly despise and spurn him, but he didn't give birth to much disgust or rebuke.
This reminded him of an episode before entering the city.
"Supervisor, anyone in Guangling City can forgive, but this Lu Yaodao absolutely cannot stay...or else it would really hurt your reputation..."
This is the unanimous attitude of the staff and officials under the tent headed by counselor Yan Keqiu. Of course, behind them, there is no shortage of places where Lu Yongzhi broke the family and destroyed the family, and all kinds of bitter and feuding origins and relationships.
"My brother is now in his early career, and he should cherish his feathers and keep his promises as an example. How can he kill and contribute without permission... This is a big ominous cry."
This is a statement made by his wife and brother Zhu Yanshou as the chief general. It represents the trend of not having many immediate interests, but hoping to use it repeatedly to obtain more benefits and benefits.
Even the two sides were arguing about this, and in the end he had to come out to mediate and arbitrate, and publicly announced that the dispute was shelved on the grounds that the great cause had not yet been determined. Then he ordered Lu Yongzhi to continue to be confined in Daming Temple to wait for him, and then secretly confessed that he would give him preferential treatment and courtesy for a while.
Of course, he had already said to Yan Keqiu and others in private; as long as the value of Lu Yongzhi's body can be completely squeezed out, it will be handed over to them in order to gather people's hearts. In contrast, this well-informed Xiao Sheng could stay and continue to use it as an example of Shou Haojun's tolerance for surrender.
However, his good mood did not last long and was broken by a message from outside the city. "The thief army in Jiangnan took the initiative to attack, and all the troops outside Hailing City and the Flying Shot Capital were defeated, and only the long drive was defeated and returned..."
Yang Xing couldn't help but sighed. What should come will come after all, but this time it was faster than he expected. Then he said to the left and right:
"It's a good come, and the orders are strictly guarded; now our army has a strong city and thick fortifications, no food and weapons, and millions of soldiers and civilians. Please also work together, my generation will determine the rise and fall of Huainan, and this is it. !"
"Then send a messenger to Gwangju and Chuzhou for negotiations; in the next step, we have to gather people from all walks of life and use Yangzhou as the frontier to deal with the current situation..."
Yang Xingmin then separately instructed the candidates as messengers:
"Liu Hanhong is profitable and capricious, so he can use his wealth and land account; as long as he advances and retreats with me..."
"Sun Ru is cruel and cruel, you can show it to the advantage, and explain the usual methods of the peace thief. They will be touched by themselves..."
Finally, he privately confronted Xu Wendao, one of the 36 township gangs who first followed him on the border.
"Domei, I still need you to go to Dantu... just say that I am willing to go to many names, and Xiantu submits to the Taiping Metropolitan Government, and only needs a corner of Huaiyang to support itself... as long as it should be given. If it is, then everything is good at it..." (End of this chapter)
