Chapter 98: The Twisted Army (10)

At the end of 1853, in the case of smuggling shoes for liberation, there was an incident in which Wu Liao, commander of the garrison military region, went to the political office. At that time, a national delegate named Wu Yuanjia expressed his support for Wu Liao, which later triggered a collective training for the national delegates.

Wu Yuanjia sat next to Pang Congcong during the national conference, and was ridiculed by Pang Congcong. As a result, Comrade Wu Yuanjia became interested in Pang Congcong. This guy is very talented in pickling girls, and when he was training, he went to Pang Congcong every day to talk about his thoughts and work, and every time he went, he brought completely different snacks. There is a research on ice making in Guangzhou, and Weize also provides methods for making cream sorbet and ice cream. The price of this thing is not low, but Wu Yuanjia doesn't care at all, from sorbet, ice cream, and shaved ice, he has to bring different types and flavors of ice products every time he goes.

After several months of soft grinding and hard foaming, Wu Yuanjia chased Pang Congcong into his hands. At the standard wedding stipulated by the Liberation Party, everyone asked Pang Congcong if he was attracted by snacks. Pang Congcong replied generously: I don't like to eat, but I like the way he came to see me with snacks. In fact, those things were cheap in the end, and Wu Yuanjia himself was cheap.

Pang Congcong's generous answer and straightforward personality made a group of unmarried boys beat their chests and complain, why didn't such a good girl have the courage to chase after him at that time. Of course, Wu Yuanjia's upright attitude of pickling girls also provides a glorious avenue for the singles.

In the review of Pang Congcong's governor, in the process of questioning the provisions of the system, the inquiry committee members raised a very realistic question, "What if Pang Congcong becomes pregnant again?" ”

Pang Congcong said frankly: Birth control technology has developed to a very high level, and the use of birth control tools can prevent pregnancy. In addition, she already has a child and has no plans to continue to regenerate, so this problem can be solved by Pang Congcong.

At the wedding, Pang Congcong's calm answer left a deep impression on the big cadres who participated in the wedding at that time, and now this answer has strengthened everyone's impression. This is indeed the calm spirit that a provincial governor should have. Pang Congcong's appointment as governor was finally approved.

After this arrangement was made for the central government, the work of going north to the center officially began. On July 8, 1855, Weescher's fleet arrived in Nanjing. Lei Hu arrived in Nanjing two days in advance, and did not ask about the hardships on the road, Lei Hu immediately began to report, "Your Majesty, the Twist Army has been divided into three routes, all the way to attack Shandong, all the way to Henan, and all the way to attack Beijing. ”

"So who do you mean you're going to hit first?" Wei Ze asked Lei Hu.

"Who is the Governor going to fight first?" Speaking of work, Lei Hu's honorific title was immediately forgotten outside the clouds, and he asked Wei Ze with the most accustomed title.

"Xuzhou is a good place." Weser laughed.

"I also want to hit Zuo Zongtang first." Lei Hu replied excitedly.

"I want to recruit Zuo Zongtang." Weeser said with a smile.

Lei Hu was stunned, he first stared at Wei Ze, and then his eyes suddenly blinked several times, and Lei Hu's voice was full of great puzzlement, "Why?" ”

Wei Ze replied: "A thousand pounds of horse bones." Zuo Zongtang was one of the few capable talents of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and if he was willing to surrender, the blow to the Manchus would be fatal. And it can also give the Manchu resisters a sense that we don't want to kill all the high-ranking Manchu officials. ”

Lei Hu somewhat understood what Wei Ze meant, but he didn't agree with this point of view, "Those Manchu officials are of little use to us, right?" ”

Wei Ze smiled and said, "I said tiger, let's tell the truth." Everyone was annoyed, and they wanted to kill the enemy's entire family and the enemy's nine clans. It's all in the mood. But really that momentum has passed, can you really give an order? ”

Lei Hu frowned and thought for a while, "The child still has to let it go." ”

Wei Ze said helplessly: "I really said, that is, you don't have to kill people yourself." An order goes down, and someone just does it. Really bundled up hundreds of men, women, and children in front of you, come, let you kill them one by one. How many can you kill? ”

Lei Hu listened to Wei Ze's words, imagined that expression for a moment, and then couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Seeing that Lei Hu's attitude softened, Wei Ze continued, "Since everyone may not be able to get that hand, those people from the official families of the Manchu Qing Dynasty also have to live. Forcing them to death is not a solution to the problem. Therefore, it is necessary to make them feel that they do not need to be afraid. ”

Wei Ze said this in his mouth, but the real thought in his heart was something else. After all, Zuo Zongtang once contributed to Wei Ze's time and space. asked Wei Ze to order Zuo Zongtang to be killed, Wei Ze was really a little hesitant. This is something that cannot be said publicly, and of course Weeser cannot say it. And Wei Ze wanted to say at that time that because he recognized Zuo Zongtang's ability, he wanted to recruit Zuo Zongtang. This statement was directly rejected by Wei Ze's wife Li Yifang.

Because of the relocation of the capital, Qi Hongyi had already taken Wei Ze's son to Nanjing first. Following Wei Ze was Li Yifang. Li Yifang heard Wei Ze say that because she admired Zuo Zongtang, she wanted to recruit Zuo Zongtang. Li Yifang immediately objected, "Your Majesty, are you trying to force Zuo Zongtang to death?" ”

"Why do you say that?" Weese was surprised.

Li Yifang's gentle Hangzhou Mandarin voice was not loud, "Your Majesty, you said that Zuo Zongtang is a talent, and the people in the army think that Zuo Zongtang is stronger than them." With this thought, will everyone be willing to let Zuo Zongtang fall into your hands alive? Even if they were willing, they would humiliate Zuo Zongtang severely. I don't know Zuo Zongtang, and I don't know what level this person is. But since you can tell the governor that he is a talent, he is not incompetent. Since you are not an incompetent person who has been humiliated to the point of no dignity, will this person still bow to you? ”

This is really a word to wake up the person in the dream, Wei Ze really has a feeling of sudden realization. The first thing he thought of at this time was not Zuo Zongtang, but some things he had encountered before. Weser found that some of his words were completely unintentional and could trigger a violent reaction. At that time, Wei Ze felt that the other party's qi was insufficient, but now that he thinks about it, whether this qi is large or not is not something that Wei Ze can control. Wei Ze first had to reflect on and criticize himself, did Wei Ze notice that he should have saved the other party's face when he spoke. Don't stir up conflicts?

Therefore, Wei Ze thought about Zuo Zongtang's matter repeatedly, and finally found that the method he could take was not to come up with a more elaborate statement, let alone to adopt a more imperceptible strategy. On the contrary, it is necessary to take the avenue and use yang to scheme. There is no forgiveness for Zuo Zongtang personally, but the forgiveness of Zuo Zongtang is integrated into the entire policy.

Thinking about this, Wei Ze suddenly found that his personal respect and love for Zuo Zongtang had faded. If the whole policy is based on justice against indulging in killing and inhumane slaughter, then it really means that "heaven and earth are unkind and all things are dogs, and saints are unkind and all people are dogs".

Based on this, if Zuo Zongtang can't understand this, but stubbornly resists to the end. That can only let Zuo Zongtang die. R1058
