Then Zhang Chengshi and others, who had just arrived in the city of Jiangling, realized that as the reception envoy of the Taiping Army's chief governor Shui Wanghan, the exclaimed "Zhang's hundred years of wealth can be expected" and witnessed the rise of the new family of relatives. "All the meanings of the words.
It was because they suddenly realized that they had only lost their lives to run away from the situation of a bereaved dog, as if it had become better overnight. It was just because Yi Chaogong, the lord of the Guiyi Army who came to Beijing, had a little girl. Unfortunately, he was lucky to have lived in the south, escaped from the disaster in the middle of Beijing, and because of fate, he would be accepted by the Taiping Army leader and happened to be pregnant. Got pregnant.
So even the "maidens" who barely counted as a relationship with them all suddenly rose up inexplicably. Not only were they placed in the corresponding exquisite premises, but there were also people who specifically asked about the cost of living and eating. Then all kinds of invitations to make friends and visits came one after another, making people overwhelmed.
Of course, after passing through the experience on the road, Zhang Chengshi also felt that these Taiping thieves could no longer be called ordinary thieves, but at least comparable to the powerful vassals and great vassals of the three towns of Huainan or Heshuo. The town is. Therefore, he does not have much rejection and resistance to accept the asylum and kindness provided accordingly.
Therefore, just after Zhang Chengshi and others were invited to watch several polo and ball games of the "Plenary Session", and were arranged to visit many workshops set up on the Han River, the Taiping Army master finally I remembered that they were waiting, and sent someone specially to give them two choices in arrangement.
The first is to accept a gift from other industries as a support, and thus become a rich and comfortable living in Jiangling. The second is to find something to do for each of them; for example, the young man from the family of Jieshuai (Zhang Huaishen) arranged to go to the workshop to study and learn poetry and literature talents, while Zhang Chengshi and others were hired to become coaches. To teach and teach the horse-foot warfare with a Northwest style. . . .
Therefore, after a little thought, Zhang Chengshi did not hesitate to choose the latter suggestion. After all, he is still looking forward to protecting the blood of the quasi-duke under Huai, and one day he will be able to find the dog thief Suo Xun again to avenge the handsome man. And the advice from the chief governor gave him a glimpse of opportunities and possibilities that he could take advantage of; even if it was a rather slim hope, it was his only hope for the rest of his life.
—I am the dividing line —
Just in the Gangneung city, the various news about the National Games held in full swing, has been completely overwhelmed by such a news that the back house of the governor’s house is pregnant, and has completely overwhelmed the limelight and became the most popular in the streets and all kinds of writing. While happily talking about topics. In Huainan, the battle is also rolling and raging.
Along the south of Dabie Mountain between Luzhou (now Hefei, Anhui) and Shouzhou (now Shouxian, Anhui)-under Tianzhu Mountain, a group of fish-lilies walked in an array of troops that were not tall but rode Qian Jumei, with a big gray horse with a tall head, is also during the majestic march with his whole body covered in majesty. Looking at the situation in front of him with the prosperous military capacity, of course he still felt the corresponding emotion.
Although this sudden plague has brought a lot of trouble and hands to his follow-up work to clean up the place; when the most important thing is, even the "three squads" and some of the strike team soldiers who are responsible for supporting are inevitably left behind. During the avoidance of contact, he contracted the corresponding symptoms and lay down with a lot of hands, but finally relied on the continuous support from the Metropolitan Government to deal with it.
But on the other hand, after the epidemic was controlled and stabilized, it also produced unexpected benefits. On the one hand, the original large number of people in the rural areas have spontaneously gathered to live under the threat of the epidemic, and the pressure on the Taiping Army to control and defend has been reduced a lot.
On the other hand, it was quickly attached and gathered in the hope of the people. Originally, in the eyes of the remaining local scholars and people, the Taiping Army still used its strength to push the place and forcibly changed the outsiders who had been familiar with the local customs for many years; even if there were some graces and benefits, it was only a limited gratitude from the surface. More is awe and alienation.
But everything was different after the epidemic came out. Although many people confuse and instigate, this is the disaster and calamity brought by the Taiping Army. It is a manifestation of God’s wrath and guilt, which brought a lot of trouble to the initial epidemic prevention work, and even caused it. Frequent contradictions and conflicts, and more than ten-digit deaths and injuries in the resistance and anti-retaliation struggles.
However, as the epidemic spread more and more, more and more people fell ill. On the contrary, those who were forced to accept the measures taken by the Taiping Army were able to get up and survive alone. Therefore, the local public opinion inevitably turned to the other extreme after bottoming out; that is, it is rumored that people who are sheltered by the Taiping Army can make the invisible plague and plague poison three feet away.
After all, after the epidemic was raging at that time, you would never be able to tell the difference between old and young and ugly, or the difference between rich and poor. No matter how noble or humble people, etc., the resources and order that can be used in the locality collapsed, only one remained in the village to die, or the result of fleeing and dying halfway.
Therefore, when those who have other intentions or who are stubborn and unpredictable, have also fallen down after the unpredictable infections; the survivors who survived under the centralized control of the Taiping Army; the rumors have become pale and weak. In contrast to the reality, it seemed that it had become the most stalwart supporter and supporter of the Taiping Army’s corresponding measures, as if it had become enlightened immediately.
They even enthusiastically raised and took the initiative, those who had fabricated and declared rumors, etc., and even smashed them to death on the spot, as a means of showing their hearts and making effective contributions to the local regime of the Taiping Army; even some once influential heroes. There are no exceptions to surnames and wealthy homes.
Because even they themselves are really scared. Because the people's popularity and influence in the village were deeply planted in the past, no matter how many generations of wealth and power have gathered, they can't resist and protect them from the minions of the plague. If as a person who enjoys all this, there is no way to survive, then no matter how rich and powerful the rural era maintains, it will be nothing more than a fleeting moment.
Therefore, Qian Jumei suddenly discovered that the follow-up work of the "three teams" had generally become better all of a sudden, and they were completed ahead of schedule as a matter of course. The forces that were originally needed to support and suppress the local area have also been drastically reduced and have more surplus. This is one of the final results that the Metropolitan Government has invested in massive manpower and material resources.
Even the defeated soldiers who were originally scattered and hidden among the remnants of the Lu ** waters around Chaohu Lake couldn't help being hungry and unable to obtain supplements and news from nearby, and they ran out frantically; then they slammed into the waiting boat master and In the hands of the auxiliary soldiers garrisoned in the surrounding area, almost none of them could escape in the end.
After all, although Chaohu Lake has relatively abundant aquatic fish catches, as a human being, you can't live by eating these fruits; what's more, these soldiers don't have enough fishing tools, nor can they get enough supplements from the surrounding villages; As winter approaches, they can only make a corresponding choice between being starved to death immediately or slowly freezing to death.
Therefore, once the permission and opportunity from the rear were obtained, Qian Jumei really needed to find Huaixi and deliberately drove the infected people several times and forcibly over Liu Hanhong, who almost caused the blockade and governance of the epidemic area to fall short. Calculate this old account of the old grudges and grudges.
Only after Qian Jumei led troops to cross Huoshan, the natural boundary between Luzhou and Shouzhou, did he discover that the situation in that realm looked more serious than expected. There are abandoned or burnt villages and towns everywhere, and mutilated corpses can be seen everywhere in the grass on the side of the road.
For this reason, Qian Gumei had to specialize in manpower to hunt down and clean up those wild dogs and crows that wander near the roads and are not afraid of people; to prevent these potential sources of plague infection from being affected by human activities. Was taken to an area that was already relatively safe.
As a result, under the corresponding propaganda, these soldiers became more and more vigilant and hated Liu Hanhong and the Huaixi army under him, and moved forward courageously like a raging tide, breaking and sinking what they could encounter along the way. One after another, the formations, fortresses, and outposts related to the Huaixi Army.
At the same time, as a back-up force allocated by Jiangling, a new cavalry team led by Yang Shihou, coach of the horse team, has just disembarked and boarded the land on the edge of Chaohu Lake; along with it was used by the Navy Lieutenant Chai. Under the leadership, about 70 or 80 paddle boats and long canopy boats formed two groups of inland river boat divisions. (End of this chapter)
