The rectification of Zuo Zongtang's various departments is still underway. Take advantage of the winter break. The troops who were in trouble were also nested in the barracks. There was no sign of mutiny. But the battalion generals. Knowing that they had not only plundered the goods from the Hui army. The silver in the second half of the year has come to naught.

The generals of each battalion showed strong dissatisfaction with the "three battalions of Dong Zi" that incorporated Dong Fuxiang. On the one hand, let them withdraw the disarmament team. Rectification of military affairs. On the other hand, it made the "Dong Zi Three Battalions" snatch food. Take a piece of the court.

The army of the Qing Dynasty is not discounted. Like Zuo Zongtang's army, the salary was discounted in half by the Ministry of War. It looks very bitter. The warriors complained. In fact, it is a hardship for the soldiers under him. Officers are rich in money. But where there is an army, there is territory. The Imperial Court will arrange a garrison area. The revenue generation of this area is under the control of the army. Farming, grazing in areas that are almost a bit old. Self-seeding and self-harvesting.' There is no problem with food and clothing. In a better place, do business, 'smuggle', and get rich. No less than the income of local civil officials.

Don't look at these officers complaining now. Full of whining. Say what to go out of the 'door' to fight outside. The fighters didn't even have enough to eat. Just give them the power to expand. No matter how big the hole is, you dare to carry it. No one will dislike having a lot of lice on their bodies.

This has been the case with the military from ancient times to the present day. But no one will show the court that they are already rich people. They are all eager to ask the court for food and wages. The army outside the Cypriots. It's like the grass doesn't grow. The cattle and sheep in the border areas belong to the common people.

Liu Songshan, the commander of the Hunan army, Guo Baochang, the garrison of the Anhui army, Liu Houji, the general soldier of the Hunan army, Gao Liansheng, the garrison of the Chu army, Liu Dian, the envoy of the Gansu army of the Chu army, and Huang Ding of the Shaanxi Andao of the Sichuan army. Riding a tall horse. Stepping on the snow under the Goshha guard. Walk towards the Governor's Row. Along the way, they were full of 'complaints', and they didn't understand Zuo Zongtang's general Dong Fuxiang's return army and reorganized it into three battalions.

The Sichuan army led by Huang Ding of Shaanxi Province was 10,000 people. The Anhui army commanded by Guo Baochang was 7,000 people. The Yu army under the command of Zhang Yao was 6,500 people. These armies all had actual combat experience against the Taiping Army and the Twist Army. Among them were seven and a half thousand cavalrymen. They strengthened Zuo Zongtang's five thousand cavalry. Become the main force of the mobile force.

Xu Zhanbiao, the chief soldier of the Sichuan army in Balikun, should command the battle on the front line of Dong Zhiyuan. Didn't go back to the governor of Xi'an. Huang Ding of Shaanxi Province is his deputy.

Zhang Yao, the commander-in-chief of the Huai Army, was the oldest and marched side by side with Liu Songshan, the commander of the Hunan Army. Laughing.

ZHANG Yao, Liangchen. The word Lang Zhai.' Milk's name is a cow. Ancestral home in Shangyu, Zhejiang. Wife Phoenix. Department of Zhang Yao's cousin. Zhang Yao asked shamelessly. Apprenticeship with his wife. Passed down as a good story.

Zhang Yao started his career in Gushi, Henan Province. The early years of Xianfeng. He wisely retreated from the army and made meritorious contributions. Deeply appreciated by the minister of the Imperial Mission, Monk Grinqin. Later, he was given the title of Huoqin Baturu by Emperor Xianfeng for his meritorious work in protecting the city. He also resisted Li Xiucheng's siege of the city and made meritorious contributions. In the tenth year of Xianfeng, he was promoted to the prefect. He was also promoted to a priest. In the second year, he was promoted to the political envoy of Henan. Soon after, he was impeached by Liu Yunan, the imperial historian, for "illiterate". From civilian to military attaché. Demoted to the general army.

Since then. He was angry and read. And engraved with the four-character seal of "illiterate". Wear it on your body at all times for self-motivation. Tongzhi years. The Governor resisted the Twist Army and the Taiping Army. Multiple wins. The department is known as another strong force after the Hunan army and the Huai army.

Zhang Yao is less than forty years old. The body is on the thin side. A shriveled face with a goatee. Wearing a second-grade official robe. Collared robe.' The front and back of the chest are each decorated with a square complement. Military attache embroidered beast. For the lion. to demonstrate force. Covered with a sable coat. A yellow horse in the crotch. If it's not horseback riding. Looks like a civil official.

The term "well-dressed beasts" evolved from the official uniforms of the Ming and Qing dynasties." "衣" refers to official uniforms. "Crown" refers to wearing a 'flower' feather on the top." "Beasts" refers to the birds embroidered on the "chest" of civil officials. The military attache's chest is embroidered with a beast.

Zhang Yao's voice was loud: "Liu Jun's 'door'. The marshal summoned us. You have to speak for us.' It took so much effort. Only then did they surround the rebel Dong Fuxiang's headquarters. How can there be such a cheap thing. One trick is your own person. 100,000 mouths. and let them eat and drink and Lazar; Dong Fuxiang is the leader of the beggar gang. He robbed all the money he had. Burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil. Such a person can also be an official. That piece of mommy's. Let me be in the company of this kind of goods. Am I still human. Is it worthy of the people who died in the land of Sanjin? It's not natural."

"Look. God is crying." The Anhui garrison Guo Baochang is a guest army. The most weird words. Pointing to the vast scattered snow 'flowers'.

The surrender of all Dong Fuxiang's subordinates is a good thing for the overall strategic situation formulated by Zuo Zongtang. For them, the team at the forefront is like a thunderbolt. There was no chance to loot. Dong Fuxiang's department is mainly hungry people. They all get rich by looting. Run where you can grab it. In the midst of the 'chaos' armies. He is the worst evildoer. It can be described as doing no evil. This 'chaotic' army is extremely vicious. Fight fiercely. Known for not being afraid of death. Doing evil is also too numerous to write. The people of the Sanjin area heard the name of Dong Fuxiang. They all gritted their teeth with hatred. Hate can't devour its 'flesh'.

Admiral Liu Songshan is over forty years old. Slim and majestic. There is a scar on the right cheek. The three-inch scar crawled on the face like a bright red centipede. He was one of the first to follow Zeng Guofan. There are several scars on his body. The battle achievements rely on a knife and a shot.

He is the one who was pulled up by Zeng Guofan. Only thirteen battalions of the old Hunan army remained. But they are all veterans who can fight for battle. In this group of people. He holds the highest official position. Qualify him as the oldest. He is the most majestic in the number of soldiers and horses. Dressed the same as Zhang Yao beside him. The official position is from a product. Therefore, the mending uniform on the official robe is embroidered with a unicorn.

"You're serious. The marshal has his own arrangement. We just do what we are told. Dong Fuxiang is a dutiful son. Filial piety comes first. Don't be harsh on Dong Fuxiang. Everybody will change it. As for the Chinese New Year. It is best to lay a few forts. If you can't beat it, retreat to the defensive area. Be foolproof. Hungry people don't die. The handsome man loves the soldier like a son. Which of your troops starved to death? This official has come to an end." Liu Songshan did not tend to be inflammatory. Speak with the crowd. After a few words, the words of several officers next to him were pushed back.

"Liu Jun's 'door', the older you get, the more bloodless 'sex' you are. He is willing to fight for his brothers in everything. There is no reason to turn your elbow outward. You say no." Guo Baochang's face was flushed. It's like looking for someone to fight.

They're the ones who lead the troops. Hug first when you meet. And then there is to boast of the great merit of their troops. And then there's the reckoning. Helped the brother troops. What losses have you suffered. You have to be clear. In the end, it's not to get drunk and not to go home. The 'friendship' that came up on the battlefield. If anyone sees death, he will not be saved? Don't want to sit together in the future. Pimples in the heart. I can't solve it for a lifetime.

"Yes. Liu Jun's 'door' has changed. Became a coward." Several other generals expressed their dissatisfaction with Liu Songshan. The matter of persuading Dong Fuxiang to surrender was handled by Liu Songshan. Let them just fight a few victories. It's not enjoyable yet. It's going to open the net. Let Dong Fuxiang have a way to live.

"Hey. You know. The imperial court has decreed. For the return to the main caressing. As long as you are willing to surrender. Give them a chance to mend their ways. I don't want to get rich. The handsome man wants me to carry the black pot. The brothers have not yet been forgiven. I have nowhere to redress." Liu Songshan was helpless. Who doesn't want to kill a river of blood. It's all clean. But it's about national policy. The national policy set by the state cannot be easily changed.

Liu Songshan expressed his views. The others were still on the sidelines. also complained to him and recognized him as a big brother. Really saw Zuo Zongtang. A bunch of people don't even dare to fart.

Liu Songshan has no sons. Behind him, on a white horse, a handsome young man with a sword eyebrow and a star. In the back Goshhari is particularly outstanding. This is his nephew. His name is Liu Jintang. Because of the courage and resourcefulness of the battle. has been awarded to the state with the same. For the six pins from the top. There should be his father Hourong and uncle Liu Songshan Meng 'Yin', and his status in the old Hunan army is extraordinary. Liu Songshan likes to take him everywhere. Train him as a successor.

LIU Jintang. Word Yi Zhai. Hunan Xiangxiang people. Father Liu Hourong and uncle Liu Songshan. They are all officers in the Hunan army. Liu Jintang was 10 years old. His father was killed in the suppression of the Taiping Rebellion. When he became an adult, he joined his uncle's Hunan army. Accompanied by his uncle Liu Songshan, he 'dang' the Taiping Army and the Twist Army. Contributed to the Qing Dynasty.

The year is approaching, and Zuo Zongtang will recruit the generals of each battalion. It's about unifying thoughts. Fight the next battle. It is the so-called decisive victory thousands of miles away. A true commander in chief is to command his departments with a strategic vision. As long as the tactical intent is realized. The next battle will be easy. Look at the map and command the battle. Divide and surround the Hui army. Surround and annihilate. It's his usual tactical style.

The Anhui garrison Guo Baochang sat on a horse. Restlessly twisting his head around. Look at what the officers around have brought to the marshal. Glancing at the two large cloth bags wrapped in Liu Jintang's saddle. He smiled slyly and said, "Liu Jintang. What kind of gifts did you bring for Dashuai?"

Liu Jintang said proudly: "Guo Shoubei. I hit a colorful tiger. Brewed a jar of tiger bone wine. You know."

"Yo. I can't see it. The reincarnation of the good man Wu Song of Liangshan. I also know how to give a handsome tiger skin. Be careful of being scolded by the marshal out of the 'door' and dare to bribe the marshal. You're not a small daring." Guo Baochang teased. There was a burst of laughter.

Liu Songshan is quite complacent with his beard. Bring the 'door' out of the tiger. The rise of the younger generation. There are successors.

At this time, it is not uncommon for tigers to come out of the mountains and forests. Tiger skins are also not very precious 'fur' skins. A sable coat is more valuable than a tiger skin. People with status will never wear a tiger skin out of the 'door'. There is also the Monkey King in Journey to the West. Tiger skins are only used as ornaments. Hats, 'lace' of clothing, cushions. But dare to send a tiger skin to Zuo Zongtang. I also know if I will be thrown out by Zuo Zongtang.

Liu Jintang smiled and said, "Try it to know. Big deal for this dinner at night. I don't drink anymore. How can a handsome man hit a smiling man?"

"Hey. Little white faces are always welcome. How can the handsome man turn his face with you. I took this gift for the handsome." Guo Baochang can occupy a place among so many officers. Figuring out Shangguan's mind has its own uniqueness. It was as if he had seen Zuo Zongtang 'showing' a rare smile.

The 'door' is coming. A squad of generals immediately did not dare to laugh. All of them jumped off their horses. Lead the horse. His face became solemn.

The bugle is loud. A guard of honor greets a squad of military attachés. The sky darkened. The snow 'flowers' silently scattered in the dark 'color' and 'swing' and fell down. Zuo Zongtang stood under the 'door'. Look at a group of lovers. Liu Songshan, Liu Jintang, Zhang Yao, Guo Baochang, Liu Houji, Gao Liansheng, Liu Dian and Huang Ding. These soldiers who followed him to fight the country. Loyal and patriotic. Hard. Share the worries of the monarch and father. Solving problems for the country. The Heroes of the Great Qing Kingdom will be presided over by him.

A group of military attachés saw Zuo Zongtang braving the snow to greet him. Naturally panicked. Turn over and bow down together. He saluted and said, "Zuo Dashuai is fine."

This is the style of a great general. That's above the court. Glory without it. Zuo Zongtang's face was dignified. Maintain prestige. Hands on the back. said: "Generals, please get up. The road is slippery and snowy days. Discuss matters with Ben Shuai first."

"Piercing." All the generals know that Zuo Zongtang's eyes do not 'rub' sand. I don't have the temper of being full of 'whining'. Be as respectful as a schoolboy meets a gentleman. Don't dare to say more and step on the war horse.

Zuo Zongtang is resolute. A rush mount. Behind him, a group of military attachés poured into the 'gate' like a dragon, and dismounted at the 'gate' of the council hall.

Zuo Zongtang ordered: "The dinner will start in two hours. Boil more water. Let the generals take a bath. Each general's barracks are placed with charcoal stoves ······" He chattered and chattered a lot before entering the chamber. Let a group of military attachés see that the marshal cares about their arrival. Take care of their food and lodging.

Martial law has been placed outside the chamber. Not a single idler is allowed to move. Zuo Zongtang is having a military meeting with a group of officers. Two large bare willow trees in the yard are dancing in the wind. The snow in the garden covers everything exquisitely. The crow of the Xi'an Drum Tower. The scenery is vast and far away. It's like eavesdropping on the secrets of the council chamber.
