In Lei Hu's office, the two brigade commanders stood in front of Lei Hu with their heads down. Song Wu said ashamedly: "Commander, I'm embarrassed for you!" ”

Looking at his subordinates and listening to this apology, Lei Hu didn't know what to say. Lei Hu didn't feel that he had anything to be ashamed of. There are people in the personnel department who neglect their duties and take bribes, and that is the problem of the personnel department. No matter how others inquire, the personnel department can call with a sentence of "no comment". As far as the terms of reference of the Personnel Division are concerned, who would dare to retaliate against the Personnel Division for not disclosing information? This has nothing to do with Thunder Tiger at all.

In Lei Hu's opinion, the actions of Lei Hu's subordinates belong to the category of "doing stupid things". If his subordinates do something stupid, Lei Hu can only admit it. What can you do if you don't recognize him? In Lei Hu's opinion, there is nothing to be ashamed of. If there is really something to be ashamed of, it is that Lei Hu has not finished dealing with this matter.

"You two tell me clearly, the Liberation Army naturally has the rules of the Liberation Army, and you, as soldiers of the Liberation Army, must abide by the rules. Remember, no matter how big an official you are, no matter what work you will do in the future. Don't even go to the HR office to inquire about promotions from anyone other than you! Can you remember? As he spoke, Lei Hu couldn't help but poke his fingers on the table. Lei Hu is not a guy who does things halfway, and since the matter has come out, Lei Hu can't say that this matter has no result. The merits of this matter, Lei Hu has to draw a line for his subordinates.

Lei Hu's words were beyond Song Wu's expectations, he first stared at Lei Hu, and there was nothing unusual on Lei Hu's face. Song Wu couldn't help but turn his head to look at Zhao Di, the other brigade commander beside him, but saw Zhao Di standing up straight, looking at Lei Hu intently.

Song Wuye could only turn his head and ask, "Commander, do you mean that you can only ask about the personnel arrangements related to yourself?" ”

Lei Hu's voice was very stern, but his expression was not as serious, and he said to Song Wu: "If you can endure it, it is naturally the best, but this kind of thing is a matter of how long you can endure it." I really couldn't help but ask, so I asked. But what do you mean by asking someone about a promotion? Just take care of your own affairs, if you want to take care of other people's affairs, can you really manage them? ”

Of course, Song Wu knew that Lei Hu was referring to Song Wu's blind inquiry about Lei Hu's promotion, and he said seriously: "I remember!" ”

Lei Hu was afraid that his subordinates would cause some problems, so he advised: "Just remember." If there are still people to investigate, we will fully cooperate with the investigators. Whatever they ask, you tell the truth. They don't ask, and you don't make trouble for others. ”

Before Song Wu understood what Lei Hu meant, Zhao Di had already said earnestly: "Commander, we won't talk nonsense. ”

Lei Hu frowned. You know your own business. Lei Hu's original thinking when he said this was that he would bear what he did, but he should not take the initiative to sell others in order to shirk responsibility. And his two brigade commanders, Song Wu is not smart enough, so Song Wu is only afraid that he will not be able to show the spirit of "whatever they ask, you will tell the truth". As for Zhao Di, this guy is too smart, and he is only afraid that he is concerned about the means of "they don't ask, and you don't make trouble for others".

Lei Hu was too lazy to compete with his subordinates, and he also made up his mind that after the completion of this combat mission, he would throw his subordinates into the military academy no matter what. If a man doesn't have the courage to take responsibility, it's too.

With a wave of his hand, Lei Hu shouted: "Don't talk about this!" He lowered his voice again, "Let's quickly call someone in for a meeting and prepare to go to Jiangxi!" ”

The military council of the Liberation Army is now divided into two levels, the first is the military council within the Liberation Army. The Restoration Society commands the gun, and its representative form is the branch built to the company. Anyway, whether the political organization is high or not, the army has also built this framework first. At present, all the major officers are basically members of the Liberation Society. So the military council was held first among these people.

As soon as the meeting began, Song Wu and the others immediately became as serious as a changed person. After listening to Lei Hu's introduction to the purpose of the military operation very patiently, Song Wucai said: "I will wait until Jiangxi, Ganzhou is still easy to say, where will Ganzhou go north?" ”

Just when everyone nodded, Zhao Di said: "How many horses do I have to bring when I wait for this time to send troops to Jiangxi?" After leaving Ganzhou, the supply of grain and grass is not very secure. Horses may be better off with less. ”

Lei Hu's cavalry division has a lot of horses, but the total number of these horses is less than 3ooo, and many of them are of poor quality and are not suitable as war horses. So one brigade of the cavalry division is cavalry, and the other is a real infantryman. This division is considered a composite combat unit. Cavalry combat is certainly a characteristic of the Thunder Tiger unit, but infantry combat is not far behind other units.

Song Wu is the commander of the infantry brigade, and Zhao Di is the commander of the cavalry brigade, so Zhao Di took the initiative to reduce the number of cavalry to reduce the logistical pressure, Zhao Di continued: "This part of the cavalry is ready to respond on the road between Guangdong and Ganzhou, and you can also take this opportunity to complete the work on the locality." ”

Lei Hu didn't have any opinion on this, and the cavalry division was stationed in Shaoguan, which was an important place in northern Guangdong. From Shaoguan to the north, if you go west, you can go straight to Chenzhou in Hunan, and to the east you can enter Ganzhou. When Wei Ze was still in the Taiping Army, he led his troops to Chenzhou. Now that Guangdong has been occupied, the call to march into Chenzhou has been very high. Wei Ze ordered his troops to abandon the near and far, mainly attacking the direction of Ganzhou. In the last three military operations against Ganzhou, Lei Hu's troops were responsible for the last two. It can be called a light car and familiar with the road.

The preparation was very easy, but Song Wu raised the question of the "exhaustion" of the troops, "Division commander, how long can you rest before going out this time?" ”

Lei Huxin said: "When you were being investigated, the troops were also resting. ”

I think so in my heart, but I can't say it on my lips. Lei Hu replied, "I guess it's going to be a month." ”

When Lei Hu said this, he was thinking about the normal situation, and it was obvious that Lei Hu did not take into account Lin Fengxiang's desire for weapons and equipment. The Guangfu Army took advantage of the leak of secrets from the Personnel Department to mobilize officers to participate in military training on a large scale on June 1o, and on June 12, Lin Fengxiang's envoy rushed to Foshan, and Lin Fengxiang built a delivery place near Jingdezhen.

After Lei Hu saw the request for delivery in Jingdezhen, he felt that Lin Fengxiang had taken the wrong medicine. Now Jiangxi is not the situation when Wei Ze went south, although at that time he saw the Qing army gathering heavy troops, in fact, every Qing army unit had no possibility of fighting Wei Ze's troops desperately. Therefore, Wei Ze's army swaggered south, crossing Jiangxi as if it were walking.

Jingdezhen is too far away from Ganzhou, Lin Fengxiang hopes that Wei Ze can deliver goods in Jingdezhen, and it is estimated that there is no malicious intent. However, this proves that Lin Fengxiang's forces are on the edge of Jiangxi's security range, that is, near Jingdezhen. If Lin Fengxiang is asked to send an army to Ganzhou to pick up the goods, I am afraid that Lin Fengxiang will not be able to do it.

"Governor, shall we go?" Although Lei Hu was unhappy in his heart, he still asked Wei Ze's attitude first.

"Lei Hu, you go to Jiangxi to fight all the way, not only to escort the arms, but also to make the Qing army feel that we may enter Jiangxi in the near future. It can disrupt their strategic arrangements. Weser said his reasoning.

Lei Hu understood as soon as he heard it, and he replied: "Dudu, I don't care if I hit Jingdezhen, but I can't occupy Chenzhou, I feel too unhappy in my heart." The comrades of the army also felt unwilling! ”

Wei Ze laughed, "If you fight Chenzhou, you have to take Guangxi first." You can rest assured about this matter, when will these officers be straightened out, and when will the war begin! ”

On June 21, 1857, Emperor Xianfeng received the news that the Guangfu army was moving north from Guangdong, breaking through Ganzhou and heading straight to Jiangxi. This news took Emperor Xianfeng by surprise. At the beginning of June, seeing the news that Zuo Zongtang and Zeng Guofan had come separately, Emperor Xianfeng had determined that Shi Dakai's strategic consideration was to take Zhejiang and Shanghai, and then march into Fujian.

In Anhui and Jiangsu, there are the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and in Guangdong and Guangxi, there is Wei Ze's Guangfu Governor's Office, if Shi Dakai is allowed to take Zhejiang and Fujian, then the situation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty will be completely bad. The southeastern half of the country completely fell.

And earlier, in January, Xianfeng had a more detailed account of the bloody battle between Wei Ze and the British at Foshan, and the retreat of the British army from the city of Guangzhou. In February, Emperor Xianfeng received news that the British had begun to increase their sales of cigarettes in Shanghai. It is said that the price of cigarettes imported from Shanghai has plummeted, leading to the frenzied rush of smokers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

At that time, the ministers of military aircraft were all sophisticated figures, and none of the meetings they convened mentioned anything related to "no smoking". Although they had read a lot of intelligence, it was very clear that the Guangfu Governor's Mansion banned smoking throughout Guangdong, leading to a war with the British.

The Manchus also had a war with the British because of the "ban on smoking", and the war ended with the defeat of the Manchus and the payment of land reparations. Although the newspaper did not follow up with the British for the time being, the British did not occupy Foshan at the end of the battle, but honestly withdrew from the city of Guangzhou. This undoubtedly meant that the British were defeated.

In the First Great Smoke War, the Manchus were defeated, and they are still haunted by it. The Liberation Army, which had just arrived in Guangdong for less than a year, defeated the British, which naturally made the ministers of military aircraft despise the British.

Wei Ze completed the victory of defeating the British, but Emperor Xianfeng did not expect that after Wei Ze defeated the British, it would lead to a chain reaction. The British began to sell cigarettes further north.

In the face of Shi Dakai's advance, Xianfeng had already ordered Zuo Zongtang in Zhejiang, Jiangbei in Jiangnan, and Hunan in Jiangxi to besiege Shi Dakai. But at this time, Wei Ze's sudden dispatch of troops led to a change in the situation.

What exactly does Weeser want to do? Emperor Xianfeng had no clue at all.
