Zeng Guofan!

Hearing this thunderous name, the potter was shocked at first, and then laughed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"The famous Zeng Guofan, I didn't expect you to appear here, and you have become a small county magistrate......," the potter said with a secret sigh.

The potter vaguely remembered that after the system was upgraded to the second stage, whenever a hostile force became the king, the system would summon not only five generals loyal to the enemy, but also a mortal enemy of the enemy to be loyal to him.

Hong Xiuquan's sworn enemy is undoubtedly Zeng Guofan, who led the Hunan army and destroyed the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, so when Hong Xiuquan rebelled and proclaimed himself the king of heaven, the system summoned Zeng Guofan as soon as possible.

It's just that a long time has passed during this period, and the potters have almost forgotten Zeng Guofan, but they didn't expect to meet in this Baqiu.

"Let's be flat." The potter gathered his thoughts, smiled and flicked his hands.

Zeng Guofan got up to thank him, the potter entered the lobby, sat on the top, the county officials hurriedly retreated, and Zeng Guofan stood on the side.

The potter asked him again about his identity and how he became the county magistrate of Chuba.

Zeng Guofan did not panic at all in the face of the potter's son, and calmly told his past experience truthfully.

It turned out that this Zeng Guo Fan was originally a county prince of Qujiang (now Shaoguan) under Guiyang County, and after the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom seized Jiaozhou, he pretended to attack Jingzhou from Lingling County, forcing Zhou Yafu to put most of his soldiers and horses on the Lingling line.

As a result, the Taiping army played a trick to attack the east and west, and the army suddenly entered Jingzhou from Guiyang County, and the troops went straight to Qujiang City, the southern gate of Guiyang.

At that time, the defenders of Qujiang also had 4,000 people, and if they held on, they could barely defend it, but the defenders rejected Zeng Guofan's suggestion to avoid the battle and forcibly led the army out of the city, but they fell into the Taiping army's plan to lure the enemy, resulting in the annihilation of the whole army.

The defenders were annihilated, the whole city of Qujiang fell into a panic situation, and the county commander abandoned the people and fled alone.

At this moment of crisis, Zeng Guofan, the county leader, stood up decisively, planted many flags on the city wall, and filled them with dummies, posing as if there were still many defenders in the city.

It was with this suspicious tactic that Zeng Guofan deceived Li Xiucheng, the general of the Taiping Army, and won two days of delay, so that he could evacuate the people of Qujiang City in advance and avoid being sacked by the Taiping Army.

And Zeng Guofan also relied on this merit to be promoted to Baqiu County Commander afterwards.

After listening to Zeng Guofan's narration, while appreciating Zeng Guofan's wit and indeed personal talent, the potter couldn't help but secretly sigh that this summoning system was meticulous, and he actually implanted such a complex and rigorous experience into Zeng Guofan, as if he was a real existence, not later summoned by the system.

"I see that your Baqiu City is well governed, and there is no chaos at all, Zeng Guofan, you are indeed a talent, and it is indeed a bit condescending to only be a Baqiu County Commander." The potter's heart is ready to make great use of Zeng Guofan.

Zeng Guofan just said lightly: "Your Majesty has won the award, the minister just thinks that if Your Majesty does not drive the expedition in person, then the Taiping thieves will definitely be unstoppable, and if our army is defeated, a large number of people will flee to Baqiu, so I made preparations in advance." ”

Prepare in advance......

The pottery merchant's eyes moved, and he became even more interested, and said strangely: "It seems that you have expected the strength of the Taiping thief, and you can actually speculate on the current situation, I want to hear what you think of the Taiping traitor." ”

Zeng Guofan paused for a moment, and arched his hand: "Since Your Majesty asked, the minister has the courage to say the minister's opinion, and the minister thinks that the reason why the Taiping thieves are strong is because they have done four words." ”

"What four words?"

"Extermination of humanity."

The potter's heart was shocked, and many fragments of historical memories appeared in his mind, but he waved his hand and motioned for him to continue.

"I'll just give you one example." Zeng Guofan continued: "After Hong Xiuquan used the Taiping doctrine to trick the people into joining the Taiping army, he confiscated the property of the entire family of those thieves, burned down the houses, and destroyed the fields, so as to completely cut off their back roads. ”

"Then, Hong Xiuquan organized all the men into the men's battalion and the women into the women's battalion, but whenever they went to the battlefield, not only the men had to charge into battle, but the women also had to follow together to fight, so that they could not only increase the strength and expand the momentum, but also take the men's mothers, wives, sisters and daughters as hostages, forming a chain of mutual protection, so that they had no way to retreat, and there was no chance to surrender, they could only win or die in battle."

"Not only that, but Hong Xiuquan uses women to kill the enemy, and he usually does not allow men to reunite with his wife and daughter, and also sets up a harsh so-called 'heavenly rule', but whenever there is a private meeting between men and women, they will be beheaded!"

"Hong Xiuquan did this, the high-sounding reason is that there is a country before there is a family, and the personal feelings of children will only make them fall into despair, and he also promised that as long as Yecheng is defeated, my Great Wei is destroyed, a real peaceful world is established, and the world is liberated, they will be allowed to reunite with their husbands and wives."

Zeng Guofan took a breath, but his expression became indignant, and then said: "Then if Hong Xiuquan treats everyone equally, it will be fine, at the critical time, he does not allow those ordinary soldiers and husbands to live together, he and several pseudo-kings under his hands, but they all have three wives and four concubines, and lie that this is the fate of Huang Tian, it is really hypocritical and ridiculous!" ”

Listening to Zeng Guofan's indignant description, the potter's expression was quite calm, he didn't feel the slightest surprise, and there was only one thought in his heart:

Hong Xiuquan, you really can't change eating shit, you were such a perverted virtue in history, and now you are still such a virtue.

The pottery merchants vaguely remembered that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in history implemented this kind of law of segregation between men and women, prohibiting marrying wives, and prohibiting husband and wife from having sex together.

But after Hong Xiu set the capital of Tianjing, he raised nearly 2,000 concubines in the Heavenly King's Mansion!

And Hong Xiuquan's biggest enemy, the Xianfeng Emperor of the Qing court at that time, had only eighteen concubines in the harem.

"Go on." The potter nodded to Zeng Guofan again.

Zeng Guofan continued: "Originally, when fighting on the battlefield, all men went to the battlefield, but that Hong Xiuquan used this method of exterminating humanity to organize women on the battlefield, just like all the people are soldiers, claiming to have a million army!" He also made a promise, saying that the sooner he joined the Taiping Army, the more meritorious people would be, and the more land and money rewards he would receive after the world was pacified. ”

After taking a deep breath, Zeng Guofan said: "Under the coercion and temptation of Hong Xiuquan, the Taiping thieves, both men and women, are extremely crazy on the battlefield, all of them are like beasts without humanity, and they are attacking one after another. ”

The Crazy Taipings......

In the potter's mind, such a picture immediately appeared:

Thousands of Taiping thieves, both men and women, were like wild beasts, rushing towards their positions like a tide, and the rain of arrows swept them to the ground in pieces, but those crazy male and female thieves, like war puppets who were not afraid of death and had no emotions, still kept rushing forward until they were all shot, but no one retreated.

"Is it the crazy power to destroy human nature, well, it seems that I have underestimated Hong Xiuquan a little bit, and underestimated the Taiping thief......" The potter nodded slightly, thoughtful.

After pondering for a long time, the pottery merchant took a light breath and said with a cold gaze: "Even if the Taiping thief exterminates humanity again, what am I afraid of, this time I am driving the expedition in person, which is to eradicate Hong Xiuquan and his army of beasts in one fell swoop." ”

Zeng Guofan hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Fortunately, Your Majesty went south in time, and the minister believes that with Your Majesty's invincible divine might, it is enough to wipe out the rebels!" ”

The potter nodded, looked at Zeng Guofan with appreciative eyes, and asked: "Guofan, I see that you are indeed a talent, and I plan to make you the Taishou of Changsha County. ”

Although Zeng Guofan was the commander of the Hunan army in history, his political ability was actually far better than his military ability.

Now that Linxiang is besieged, Changsha County has become the forefront of the fight against the Taiping Army, and the potters want to have a decisive battle with Taihong Xiuquan here, so they naturally have to find a capable local county guard to do logistics support for themselves, and since Zeng Guofan has shown his extraordinary ability to govern, he is naturally the best choice.

"Your Majesty wants to appoint a minister to be the ...... of Changsha County The county guard? Zeng Guofan's eyes burst with excitement, obviously he didn't expect that the potter would use him so much.

You must know that he was just a small county magistrate in Qujiang a few months ago, and by chance, he was promoted to Baqiu County Commander, and it was only a few days before he was promoted to Taishou, or the Son of Heaven personally ordered a reward, how could he not be surprised and excited.

"Changsha County is at the forefront of counterinsurgency, this Changsha County is too difficult to guard, if you have any concerns, you don't have to force it." The potter secretly resorted to the agitation method.

Zeng Guofan immediately looked solemn and generously bowed his hand: "When this country is in danger, Your Majesty trusts the minister so much, how can the minister not bow down for His Majesty and die for himself." ”

"Okay, well, if you have this courage and determination, I will be relieved." The potter nodded with satisfaction, "Now that Linxiang is besieged, you can perform your duties in this Baqiu City, the most important thing is to take care of the grain, grass and military supplies for me, and when I relieve the siege of Linxiang, you can go there to take up your post." ”

"The minister obeys the order, and the minister will do his best and do his best, and never let His Majesty worry about a grain of rice." Zeng Guofan solemnly made a guarantee.

Tao Shang nodded with satisfaction, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, with Zeng Guofan, a capable minister to protect the rear, he can now rest assured that he can boldly lead the army south and go to fight with Hong Xiuquan's magic stick.

The remnant sun was like blood, the potter stood on the stairs of the hall, his eyes looked in the direction of the south, the eagle's eyes burned with the flame of determination, and he said coldly: "Hong Xiuquan, your madness is over here, even if you and your believers exterminate humanity again, I will still send you all back to hell!" ”
