And in the north of Gaoyou City, which has changed hands, the temporary camp called Chong'anji on the shore of Baima Lake is already full of figures who have been forcibly disarmed and squatting on the ground.

As the result and end of trying to use the mantis arm of the Taiping army as a chariot on the grounds of ignorance and order to obtain orders, it was a whole force of 3,000 men who stayed here and belonged to the right wing of the Guangsheng army in the rear wing; After hundreds of casualties in a burst of bombardment, they all turned into birds and beasts and dispersed.

At this time, an urgent messenger from Xuyi finally caught up with the end of the battle and brought the latest news.

"We've broken the thief's momentum and rescued most of the rest of the people?。。 That's good.. ”

Zhou Huai'an couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief on horseback, and then said to Liu Tang, the military depot envoy who was following on the left and right.

"Of course, the people have been rescued, but this matter is not over yet, and I can't lose the men and horses and equipment that help the war in such a vain. Pass my order to get off the horse and continue to march into Shanyang. ”

"Brother Zhou's thoughts and truths, I should know. The military government also attaches great importance to this matter; The king was even more furious. ”

And Liu Tang, who was suffering from a bitter face on the side, also persuaded repeatedly.

"It's just that this involves the relationship between you and Lao Shang, and it is really a big matter for the great cause of my righteous army, and I hope that Brother Zhou can look at the Yellow King's sake and give a buffer time for mutual identification, so as not to cheapen the officials and soldiers who are struggling to survive in vain, which makes people see the joke.

"Joke! Isn't it a joke that my people were attacked under his jurisdiction, and now I don't know how many people are waiting to see my jokes, do you want me to endure the humiliation and beg for nothing; ”

Zhou Huai'an interrupted him with a sneer.

"Why is it that when this kind of thing happens under his jurisdiction, no one reminds and asks him to take care of the overall situation, in the end, it's not that my Taiping Army has always been too easy to speak, and it seems that it is extremely weak and can not be bullied. If this is not disturbed, wouldn't it be deceived again and again? ”

"That's not what you said, Brother Zhou, you're too biased; It's always to give the Yellow King a chance to send someone to reprimand and find out the reason. ”

Liu Tang's face became more and more bitter and about to drip water, and he continued to persuade in a good voice.

At this time, a second wave of messengers arrived in front of the army on fast horses and delivered the latest delivery.

"Great, the capture team actually caught a leader, and after torture, it was the newly returned people under Shang Rang's command, which can be regarded as a stolen person.。。

Zhou Huai'an glanced at the recompiled ciphertext, and couldn't help shouting with joy.

"Spread the news with all your might, and I'll see who has the face to jump out and stop me next."

。。。。。。。。。。

Compared with the land south of the Yangtze River, which is still full of spring and scenery, and lush vegetation, Guangfu, which has entered early summer outside the mountains, has already been shrouded in the heat of the sound of cicadas.

In the city of Guangzhou, in a garden near the sea and the greenery is re-dyed by the sea breeze, Wang Pan, who is gradually getting better, also holds his newborn daughter, and refuses to let go with a doting expression.

came to visit Wang Chongyin, who was burly and gray-haired, but he smiled at this scene and said nothing; But my heart was full of sighs.

Who would have thought that the remnants of the Angry Wind Battalion, who had suffered heavy casualties and withered manpower at the beginning, could only beg everywhere to keep the last bit of their name, would be able to obtain such a thriving situation and momentum because they met this virtual monk, who should be Zhou Lingjun now.

And Wang Pan, who is the nominal number one person in this huge place outside the mountains, and at the same time holds the power of local supervision in dozens of states, is undoubtedly the object of envy of many people; As long as he routinely seals and forwards some official documents sent over, he can enjoy a prosperous and comfortable life here in the general of semi-retirement.

Of course, Wang Chongyin, who was arranged to come to Guangfu to recuperate as a new member of the Taiping Army, is also not much worse; There is a special nursing home to provide him with a decent and comfortable daily life; There are also industries and people who manage goods and crops under their names, and they continue to provide him with all kinds of input and income.

In his spare time, he can even have daily banquets, entertainment, hunting and sea fishing exchanges with the former rebel leaders who have come to the prosperous sea port of Guangfu to settle down and buy real estate.

It can be said that many people in the rebel army have fought for it for most of their lives, or think that they will fight for the goal of a lifetime; It has been advanced or doubled here.

Because, theoretically, as long as you have enough money and money to use, you can get all the enjoyment and fun imaginable in this extremely open and huge port city. Whether it is the orchid and the girl with different styles, or the rare things gathered by various sea ships, or the sights and anecdotes in the world.

On the other hand, all this bizarre and prosperous scene can easily dissipate the last bit of the will of the former rebel army leaders who were originally born from a bitter background or just to change their own circumstances, and the obsession after giving up their authority.

Many people simply cashed out all the bags they brought, and stored them in the Flying Money Coupon for profit; or turn to bet on those maritime trades and merchants, in order to obtain the great profits of crossing the sea between the wind and waves; This has completed the transformation from a career of seizing the day and licking blood to the identity of a rich man who is content with the status quo.

As for those righteous generals who still have certain ideals and aspirations, or rather pursuits and ambitions; Either he stayed outside the ridge and continued to serve under the banner of the Taiping Army, or he still followed the army of the Yellow King's Northern Expedition to his homeland. It's kind of a kind of complementary.

Of course, Wang Chongyin, who gradually recovered from his injuries here, also belongs to the latter category of not serving the old very well. It's just that his original army and the territory he has conquered have become part of the Taiping Army in a gradual change.

From those correspondence, more and more words are written with pride or pride, and more and more pages are elaborated: what has been accomplished in the recent past, and what achievements and progress have been made; or those places that were conquered, and what kind of enemies were defeated; It can be felt more and more clearly.

And the rank of leading the way in the rebel army, which was originally the only one, has become an invisible obstacle for him to return to the front of the army again. After all, whether it was the chief and deputy commander of the newly established Taiping Eighth Army, or the chiefs of the eleven garrison areas, they were all far below his original rank.

Therefore, he can only name the post of deputy director of the Taiping Army's teachings here, and is responsible for supervising and inspecting the daily training plans and preparations of the patrol teams in the tunzhuang, the local garrison regiments, and the supplementary battalions. It's a respectable and leisurely position.

It's just that he looked at the double strands that gradually grew flesh, but he remembered the career when he took his brothers to gallop on the battlefield in a few dreams.

Therefore, if he wants to do more and plan here, he can't get around this left-behind Wang Pan of Guangfu at all; For example, by visiting old friends and discussing the current situation, to test and figure out the other party's tone, and even ask for it to convey his own mind, it has become Wang Chongyin's recent daily life.

It was only after Wang Chongyin left with a document called "Internal Reference Circular". From behind the tree, a person came out, and it was Yu Hou, who was born in the apprentice team.

"Uncle, why is this so; According to the Taiping Sacred Treasury system, only a third person must be present as a witness when the official business is handed over; The friendship between you and Deputy Eunuch Wang is an old friendship, and there is no need to avoid suspicion so much. ”

He whispered to Wang Pan:

"Being able to meet Brother Zhou is the greatest blessing in my life; Not to mention that now he has entrusted me with the huge situation in the rear, and the safety of millions of soldiers and civilians, so I can't easily live up to his hard work and intentions. ”

Wang Pan turned to his own words.

"Avoid suspicion or avoid suspicion, say another, Lao Wang's mind several times, how can I not know it. So I've already sent him a book to ask. ”

"Then why didn't the old man show his mouth again? It's good for Deputy Supervisor Wang to understand your intentions. ”

Chen Bei'er was slightly surprised.

"Although I retired here, there are a lot of people who are staring at my door. It's hard to put away after the coke is opened. Maybe Brother Zhou won't bother with me, but I can't pass my own level. ”

Wang Pan sighed.

"Lao Wang is a real man again; I can still excuse others, but I really don't want to use them on him; And I'd rather wait until things have an eyebrow.,It's not a shame to do it clearly.。。 So I can only ask you to be a witness. ”

"In addition, I suspect that there are people around me who are leaking internal and external information; Please also report to the relevant matters to arrange the corresponding investigation. ”

"I'll save it."

Chen Bei'er couldn't help but say solemnly when she heard this.

On the other side, when Wang Chongyin returned to his mansion, he found that a visitor was waiting in the side hall; But it was Feng Yue, a former leader of the rebel army who invited him out for safari and sea fishing every day, and then he remembered that today was the day of wild fishing.

When Wang Chongyin was invited to take a fishing yacht and left the port market slightly, Feng Yue, who put down the fishing tackle, spoke again:

"Wang Lao is the general, at a time when there are no eyes and ears for others, I have something to say from my heart, and I want to share it with you."

"What are you fooling around, isn't it possible that there is some new fun?"

Wang Chongyin chuckled slightly in his heart, but said quietly to him.

"To tell you the truth, I don't believe that the old man will be willing to be in this situation where he is full of food all day long and has nothing to do."

Feng Yue continued disappreciatively.

"So what, isn't this the kind of day you had originally wished? Now where is the room for repentance? ”

Wang Chongyin's heart moved slightly, and his tone was flat.

"Naturally, there is. Now the virtual monk has been leading troops for a long time, and Wang Liushou is half-dead, has no ambition to get by, and is even more alienated from the old brother in the past. ”

Feng Yue's tone was faintly eager.

"In such a situation, can't my generation take advantage of the situation and plan more for their future future? At least take advantage of the old skills of the retinue and ministry that we brought back.,When it's not completely unfamiliar.,You can still fight with all your might.。。 ”

"All brothers are willing to take the lead in the public and re-establish themselves on the great foundation outside the ridge to create a new situation. I believe that the General's Mansion will also be happy to see it. ”

"So, could it be that there is some news and contact from the General's Mansion?"

Wang Chongyin couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, and said in a slightly curious tone.

"The old rate will only need to know, but there are many people who are willing to support and help my generation in this matter. As long as you are willing to accept the position of leader, everything will naturally be clear. ”

Feng Yue didn't show his tone at all.

"Well, then, I will see with my own eyes the real evidence; If not, why use my name to take risks? ”

Hearing this, Wang Chongyin turned a few thoughts in his heart and his expression struggled to change, and only then did he insist on some gains and losses.

"It's okay, please also prepare yourself secretly, and wait for the good news."

Feng Yue was unimpressed and gladly arrived.

As this halfway abandonment of the sea fishing yacht docked again, Feng Yue, who had left with a few gains to bid farewell to Wang Chongyin, disappeared into the complex lanes of Chengxiafang City in all directions.

Then he appeared in a tightly guarded dark room, and said to the other dozen or so people present:

"This matter is successful, I'm afraid that there are two more certainties and chances of winning."

"Is Wang Chongyin's promise really reliable?"

Someone questioned it loudly.

"It doesn't matter, all we want is his oldest name, and once things are launched, he can't help it half-heartedly."
