Wei Ze proposed that the first five-year plan should be implemented in 1869, and the members of the bureau were confused and did not know what was going on.

"Why the Five-Year Plan in 1869 and not this year, and not next year, I just want to discuss with you why the Five-Year Plan should be implemented!" Wei Ze's attitude was calm and his tone was firm. Seeing this familiar attitude, many committee members faintly felt a little painful. Before Weeser carried out a profound ideological education, it would always be this expression.

Wei Ze is the chairman of the party, and everyone has to listen to his reasoning. Regardless of whether you understand it or not, everyone doesn't understand the final system construction, how Wei Ze arranges it, everyone will do it. Some members of the Political Bureau even thought depressedly that it would be good if they were to command the war on the front line like Lei Hu, at least they wouldn't have to be dragged to listen to the boss's long narrative.

Lei Hu, who was envied by the members of the Political Bureau, was not so easy at this time, the battle of Vortex Yang was not very smooth from the beginning, and the enclosures everywhere were built very well, and it took more than a dozen cannons to collapse a wall. The resistance of the enclosure was extremely fierce, and after the first few enclosures were captured, more than half of the casualties in the entire enclosure were killed.

The Guangfu Army originally expected that it would be able to solve the vortex sun in five or six days at most, but if the situation continued as it is now, it would take at least half a month to solve the vortex yang. In this operation, the four armies were under the command of Lei Hu, and he called the four army commanders to a meeting, and everyone decided to take Haozhou first, surround Xuyang, and then start step by step. Lei Hu was also quite surprised in his heart, what kind of big city he had never seen, and Chinese and foreign enemies had also fought each other, and he never expected that the first time he felt that it was more difficult than he imagined was such a large-scale local armed force.

Faced with such a new problem, Lei Hu was very unhappy in his heart, and even the fact that he found Jiang Zhongyuan's body from a well did not make Lei Hu feel better. The coroner's report said that Jiang Zhongyuan was shot several times, and seeing that he was no longer in order, he found a well near the city gate and committed suicide. The death of the leader of the Huai army in battle meant that the name of the Huai army could also be abolished in the Manchu system.

On August 1, the troops took Haozhou and began the battle of clearing and suppressing the Wuyang area. At this time, a guest that Lei Hu never expected came, and Li Hongzhang sent an envoy to seek "peace talks."

This was the first local magistrate under the Manchu system to choose to surrender before the battle, and the incompetent magistrates basically did not surrender over the years. The Taiping army regarded the Manchu Qing as a Qing demon, and the Manchu officials, who were the leaders of the Qing demons, naturally had only one way to die. The Liberation Army once accepted a surrender in Wuzhou, but the local forces colluded with the Manchus to rebel, which made the Liberation Army completely lose interest in the Manchus. After the siege, you can really stand up, and you really don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past.

Li Hongzhang seized Luoyang and was awarded the title of third-class duke. It stands to reason that this kind of upstart has to work hard to resist, but he didn't expect that before the Guangfu Army hit Luoyang, Li Hongzhang was ready to abandon his old club and defect to the new master.

"That's good news." Lei Hu rubbed his temples and said. At least Li Hongzhang did not participate in the war and held Luoyang, and the Guangfu Army was not too worried about Luoyang being taken away by the Taiping Army again. Even if Li Hongzhang is talking nonsense, it is just a matter of fighting a few more battles. Lei Hu didn't believe Li Hongzhang at all.

Lei Hu put this matter aside, picked up his pen and signed the order to launch an attack on Vortex Yang, but at this time he thought of the Twist Army. The Guangfu Army talked to the Twist Army, if the Twist Army is willing to be honest and obedient, let them live in the Vortex Sun. What is the current Twist Army doing?

At this time, the twisted army in Chenzhou realized how correct the old saying "dog days, tiles don't dry" is. It often rains in the north of Henan on dog days, and Chenzhou is even more crisscrossed by canals, and a few days of heavy rain have caused the local water network to skyrocket. The small ditch that horses could have crossed with a leap was now one or two feet wide, and the muddy water was not as deep as it could see, and the mud on the shore was so soaked that the horses collapsed when they stepped on it.

Lai Wenguang's face was pale, and the experience accumulated from fighting with the Hunan army for several years turned out to be the reason for luring the Twist army into a desperate situation at this time. This is a seemingly ridiculous little trick, and the Hunan army has changed its marching routine. It was as if the routine of marching thirty miles a day without being able to move by thunder had turned into a rapid pursuit regardless of a single qiē. Just such a small trick changed a qiē.

Behind the Twist Army is a dense water network, to the east is the cavalry troops of Seng Lingqin, and to the west is the position of the Hunan Army less than ten miles from the Twist Army.

What to do? This very real problem lies ahead.

Zhang Zongyu said with a blushing face: "The only way to do this is to fight with the Hunan army!" It is impossible for us to cross the river in one day now, as long as we withdraw, the Hunan army will kill us. At that time, the army was unstable and only thought about leaving, how to fight in the rear. It's better to kill it than this. As long as you kill the demon head Zeng, the whole of Henan will be ours! ”

"Yes, fight with the Hunan army! I don't believe we can't defeat the Hunan army. Ren Zhu said angrily.

Lai Wenguang frowned and thought for a while, and he said loudly: "Naturally, we have to fight, but it is not the Hunan army that is beaten, but the Mongolian Eight Banners of Seng Lingqin!" ”

Everyone was stunned, the cavalry naturally had a great advantage over the infantry, but they didn't expect Lai Wenguang to choose the Mongolian Eight Banners as the main target.

Lai Wenguang explained to the simple map: "Whether it is east or west, we can use it if we break the demon all the way." The Hunan army seems to have 30,000 or 40,000 people, and the Mongolian Eight Banners have more than 10,000 people at most. At present, the Hunan army is playing with their lives to repair fortifications, but it is their style. When the Hunan army builds the earthen fortress, shall we rush the earthen fortress? ”

"King, you don't want to cross the river?" Zhang Zongyu understood Lai Wenguang's thoughts.

"Where are we going after we cross the river?" Zhang Zongyu asked rhetorically. The biggest reason why the Twist Army ran to Chenzhou was that the military rations were basically exhausted, and they needed to collect grain and grass in Chenzhou. If they retreat, the Twist Army's own supplies will not be able to support it.

Seeing everyone's thoughtful appearance, Lai Wenguang said loudly: "As long as we break the Mongolian Eight Banners of Seng Lingqin, it is not easy for us to cross the river, is it easy for the Hunan army?" At that time, we opened up with the Hunan army, and after we collected grain and grass, we turned around and left, what could the Hunan army do? ”

Everyone in the army knows that Zhang Zongyu is good at fighting and Lai Wenguang is good at strategizing. In terms of the ability to decide the general direction, Lai Wenguang is unmatched in the twisting army. This strategic choice, while sinister, is really the best one. Although everyone didn't say anything, the expressions on their faces were all in agreement.

Lai Wenguang glanced at the generals, and slammed his fist on the map to mark the location of the Eight Banners of Monk Greenqin Mongolia, "Tomorrow we will destroy Monk Greenqin!" ”
