"Fourth uncle, are you going to be with the mud?" Wei Changrong had no intention of giving up after the meeting, he went directly to Wei Ze to talk about it.

"I'm going to make rules!" Wei Ze also replied very simply, "It's just that this is not the time to make rules at all." If I had a meeting with you to talk about this, would we still go south? ”

"This ......, Fourth Uncle, it's just a staff officer's business, if you say a word, who dares to be disobedient?" Wei Changrong still insisted on his own point of view.

"If I come out with a word, who would dare to be disobedient? Hehe......" Wei Ze was angry, "I now make it clear that I want to build a military justice department and a military court, and you toss me like this, this is why everyone listens to me?" ”

was robbed by Wei Ze like this, and Wei Changrong was also stunned. Unexpectedly, from Wei Ze's point of view, Wei Changrong also became an opponent. After a while, Wei Changrong was a little embarrassed and said, "Fourth uncle, I know." Whatever you want to build, I'll listen to you! ”

Wei Ze Zhengse said: "Then you remember for me now, from now on, as long as I don't talk about Li Guangfei's case, you are not allowed to mention this." You are absolutely not allowed to go out and talk about the establishment of a military tribunal if I want to. Did you hear that? ”

"Yes!" Wei Changrong replied.

Finally pressed this matter, and Wei Ze was finally able to put his energy back into fighting. Just such a thing that could not be solved at all took most of everyone's time, and it also caused Wei Changrong and Lei Hu to directly clash. Wei Ze regretted it for a while in his heart, if he had known this earlier, it would have been a more efficient way to deal with this matter earlier. But on second thought, if it weren't for this conflict, the military tribunal that Weeser tried would have to be postponed for a while. This delay is also a matter of efficiency.

Everyone has 24 hours a day, and after thinking about various judgments about efficiency and not coming up with a result, Wei Ze soon realized that he had wasted about another hour. Weser knew very well that if he continued to invest time in this matter, he would only cause more waste. Wei Ze forcibly withdrew his mind, threw this matter in the corner of his thinking, and closed it. Forcibly pull yourself back into the orbit of dealing with the work in front of you.

If Weeser was not sufficiently prepared for this sudden incident or the issue of court-martials, he was quite well prepared for the retreat. Although it was not as good as Yang Xiuqing's remote control of the Yuezhou area when he was in Changsha, Wei Ze also sent many people to work on Weishan Lake and the Grand Canal in Jining in the early stage. When it came to finding ships, the Taiping did a great job.

Hundreds of boats, large and small, capable of transporting seven or eight thousand people at a time. If the Taiping army were also involved in boating, the transportation could be greatly increased. Since this march involved Lin Fengxiang's Northern Expeditionary Army, Wei Ze had to discuss it with Lin Fengxiang.

Lin Fengxiang didn't say anything, but Li Kaifang frowned and said: "When our army crossed the Yellow River and headed north, the army was mixed with spies and burned our two carts of gunpowder. If it weren't for this, our army would not have been able to fight even if it reached Tianjin. At the time of this withdrawal, will there be any demons mixed into the fleet? ”

This is not wrong, Wei Ze assured that when transporting important supplies, the troops would choose more secure security measures. However, Wei Ze also told Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang of the Northern Expeditionary Army that since the Twist Army had already gone north to loot, the best thing to do at this time was to go south quickly.

Although a little reluctant, Li Kaifang accepted Wei Ze's proposal. Lin Fengxiang even proposed a construction yì, he and Li Kaifang have relatively rich experience in building bridges, Lin Fengxiang built yì himself to lead people to be pioneers.

"Brother Lin, this can't be done." Wei Ze immediately rejected Lin Fengxiang's proposal, "You are a fierce general in our Taiping army, and this time the East King named me to go north to rescue, and it may not mean that I will join forces with Brother Lin to continue to attack Beijing." Brother, since I forcibly ordered the Hui army to go south, then I must bring the Northern Expeditionary Army back to Tianjing City safely. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain to the East King. ”

"Brother Wei, we've all come here, what trouble do you think there will be?" Lin Fengxiang said with a smile.

Wei Ze shook his head, "From Weishan Lake along the canal to the south, the next stop is Taierzhuang, continue to the south to reach the Yellow River, and after the Yellow River is Xuzhou City." Although I don't want to fight in these two places, the Qing Demon may not be unwilling to fight. In particular, we and others are acting along the canal, and the Jiangbei camp of the Qing Demon also relies on the canal to obtain food and grass supplies. If you say that the demons don't have any ideas, I don't believe it at all! Brother Lin, if you think that my brother and I don't mean to harm you, then please do what Brother Lin said. In this way, the brother can also explain to the king of the east. ”

This is also Wei Ze's sincere words, he is very unconfident that Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, will have any strange reaction. After all, Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan is a very prejudiced figure that makes Wei Ze very prejudiced, and after being with the Heavenly King for so long, God knows if the Eastern King will be taken bad by the Heavenly King.

Of course, this is the meaning of the name, but Wei Ze has other hidden worries in his heart. The establishment of a military tribunal in the army this time is nothing new for Wei Ze, and it is a completely new system for the entire Taiping Army, and even for the whole of China. Although military tribunals are not absolutely impartial, the basic concept in military tribunals is that all persons are equal before the law. And Li Guangfei's case clearly proves that Wei Ze's army is too far from this idea of equality for all.

The Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan held the power of religion, and Wei Ze could not shake it. Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, had an administrative and military advantage, and Wei Ze could not shake it either. It's like the 30,000 troops under Weze's command right now. The 13,000 Taiping army led by Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang, and Ji Wenyuan was absolutely loyal to Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East. If Yang Xiuqing ordered them to fight the "rebellious" Wei Ze, the three of them would not have any ambiguity.

Even if Wei Ze is in the 17,000 troops, he can now attack Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, under the command of Wei Ze, and he doesn't care about the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom at all, and is only loyal to Wei Ze's strength, and now he is afraid of less than 10,000. The remaining seven or eight thousand people were far less loyal to Wei Ze than to the point where they could completely break with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

In this case, in the face of Yang Xiuqing's powerful control ability, Wei Ze was completely at a disadvantage. Being at a disadvantage means not being able to dominate political and ideological work, and if Wei Ze wants to implement the ideas of the industrial era, he will inevitably lead to a lot of ideological antagonism. If Wei Ze was above Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, and Hong Xiuquan, the king of heaven, Wei Ze's opponents would easily choose to defect to these two people.

It was precisely because of these thoughts that Wei Ze was even more reluctant to make extraneous troubles after receiving the Northern Expeditionary Army. Getting the combat effectiveness of Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang, and Ji Wenyuan has no impact on the current Wei Ze. But if the three of them died, Wei Zeke would have no way to explain to Yang Xiuqing.

"Brother Wei, are you thinking too much?" Lin Fengxiang didn't expect Wei Ze's idea, so he naturally had such an idea.

"Brother Lin, you haven't walked this road before, so what if you let my brother and I lead the way?" Of course, Wei Ze didn't dare to say what was in his heart, so he could only use other words to perfunctory.

Lin Fengxiang is not a person who likes to cause trouble to others, since Wei Ze's attitude is so resolute, and the march does require a lot of effort, it is really easier to have Wei Ze's arrangement. He also chose to support Weese's Jianyì.

The troops soon began to move south, and by April 3, Wei Ze's troops had finally reached the Yellow River, searching for ships along the way, and by this time Wei Ze's troops had more than a thousand boats and had crossed the Yellow River in just two days.

On April 1o, Wei Ze's troops crossed the Huai River and headed straight for Chuzhou.

This area is Weese's territory. At this time, Wei Ze had already received the news that during the time he left, the Qing army did not move any attack, and the entire central Anhui region was still the territory of the Taiping army. Zhang Yingchen is still guarding Chuzhou. Wei Ze wanted to bring his troops to Chuzhou, and the target was Yangzhou and Zhenjiang. In the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the three cities of Tianjing, Yangzhou, and Zhenjiang were in the hands of the Taiping army, and Lin Fengxiang was guarding Yangzhou before the Northern Expedition.

From this point of view, even if the Qing army has decayed to the point of almost irretrievable at this time, Lin Fengxiang's courage and open-mindedness are by no means comparable to ordinary excellent generals.

The reason why Wei Ze wants to go to Chuzhou is that Chuzhou is very close to Jiangbei Daying. If you rest here, you can quickly decide on the direction of future operations.

didn't wait for Wei Ze to arrive in Chuzhou, Yang Xiuqing ordered someone to send Wei Ze. The will required Wei Ze to take Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang to Wei Ze's Luzhou area to rest. In the process of resting and recuperating, it is necessary not only to replenish the size of the two-man army to 30,000 men, but also to meet the needs of the two men in terms of weapons to the greatest extent.

After reading the order, Wei Ze was very suspicious that there was an agent of the East King under his command. It is not difficult to replenish the troops of Lin Fengxiang and the other three prime ministers from 13,000 to 30,000, and it is not impossible to replenish the weapons of these three Wei Ze. However, when ordinary people are in Yang Xiuqing's position, they are afraid that they will not dare to give such an order so lightly.

Lin Fengxiang was stunned after seeing the official document, and after a while he said, "Brother Wei, is it too embarrassing for you to do this?" If you think you can't do it, we can jointly write to the East King. ”

"Not really." Weser laughed. Anyway, the 17,000 people given to Lin Fengxiang and the others could be Wei Ze's 50,000 or 60,000 troops in central Anhui. And the hot weapon is naturally the arquebus captured by Wei Ze, and the cold weapon is easier.

After the stage of shock when he first saw the order, Wei Ze slowly figured out one thing. Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, seemed to put forward very harsh conditions for Wei Ze, but in fact, Yang Xiuqing had no other way. The Northern Expedition troops need to be revised, and the troops with the experience of the Northern Expedition also need to be replenished. If Wei Ze, the king of Qi, is not in charge of this matter, who in the entire Taiping Heavenly Kingdom can afford it?

And from this order, Wei Ze saw that Yang Xiuqing had no intention of continuing the Northern Expedition at this time. As for whether this attitude was temporary or forced, or whether it was figured out by chance. Wei Ze felt relieved. As the saying goes, there are only three things, as long as you don't continue the Northern Expedition, don't toss blindly. This year, in Anhui, we will naturally be able to steadily harvest another year's grain. After three years of grain harvesting, Wanzhong knew that the Taiping Army had really gained a foothold, and the attitude towards the Taiping Army would be very different at that time.
