"Jiao Yujing?" Zeng Guofan searched in his mind for a long time before he finally thought of who this Jiao Yujing was: "You are Jiao Yujing from the Xiangnan Zhaojun Hall?" ”

"That's right!" Although Jiao Yujing is already a battalion officer of the Hunan army, in the Hunan army, he still belongs to the kind of person who controls and uses it, and he can't even dispatch his own battalion head: "I am Jiao Yujing, I used to be the head of the Hunan Army's recruitment hall, if the squire wants to find someone to stick to Nanchang, and if there is no one available, just look for me!" ”

At this moment, the officers of the Hunan army all blushed, and no one in Hunan Province could be used to this extent, even Sichuan people like Bao Chao refused to stand up, but let Jiao Yujing, the leader of the Heaven and Earth Association who had just been reformed for a long time, stand up.

It's just that Zeng Guofan responded, and then asked, "Give me a reason, okay?" ”

That's right, this really needs a reason, even the old men of the Hunan army like Li Xubin and Bao Chao have lost their determination to stick to Nanchang, but Jiao Yujing, the head of the self-reformed world association, actually stood up to stick to Nanchang, no wonder Zeng Guofan suspected that he had ulterior motives.

This made Jiao Yujing's mood become a little anxious, he clenched the knife in his hand, and finally leaned against the battlement wall, and finally spoke: "I have a hatred for taking my wife with the red thief Liu, and this hatred is not shared!" ”

Seeing that his neck was red, Zeng Guofan believed it three or four times out of ten: "Is this really the case? “

"That's true!" Jiao Yujing almost scolded her mother: "Squire, if no one is available, just use me!" ”

Zeng Guofan took a breath and looked back at these old men of the Hunan army, these generals and battalion officers of the Hunan army lowered their heads one after another, but they did not dare to come forward to defend Nanchang City.

Nanchang City has reached the point where it cannot be defended, Zeng Guofan often sighed: "Hunan has produced many talents since ancient times, but I didn't expect that today, the old rain and new knowledge are not as good as you Jiao Yujing alone, it's just that!" ”

He made up his mind: "Yujing leads the three battalions of the Hunan army, as well as Gan Yong in the city, Tong Quan guards Nanchang City as for the rest of the departments, as a rescue army!" ”

This statement of acting as a mobile force is purely a beautiful word, and everyone understands it, that is, the timing is not good, and you have to run away.

It's a pity that how many heroes and heroes in Hunan are not as good as a newly attached self-reform bandit leader!

At this time, the rainbow army outside the city was also arguing over whether to continue to attack Nanchang City.

"Enough is enough!" It was Lu Ziyun who said this: "Now the glory of capturing Nanchang City will be handed over to our second division...... No, it's enough to be the Second Army! ”

Yesterday's victory gave him a great boost in confidence, even if he could not take Nanchang City, but the main force of the First Army had already dealt a annihilating blow to the Hunan army, especially Li Xubin and Liu Changyu, the two main forces of the Hunan army, suffered a devastating blow, and it is estimated that within March or May, these two Hunan armies would not have any combat effectiveness at all.

Zhai Jie is usually gentle enough, but now at this critical moment, he said: "Ziyun, this time your second division has let Li Xubin go again......

The previous time in Fuzhou, the Second Division carelessly let go of the main force of Liu Changyu's department, but this time under the city of Nanchang, the second division once again made a careless mistake and let go of a part of Li Xubin's department According to the information obtained by the Hongjun, the remnants of Li Xubin who broke out of the siege were at least hundreds, including Li Xubin himself.

This made Zhai Jie very dissatisfied with the second division, after all, after so many days of siege and attack, most of the combat effectiveness of Li Xubin's department had been lost, and he even abandoned the wounded when he broke through and left, and on the same day, the first division and other departments of the rainbow army worked together to break the Hunan army outside Nanchang City, and the morale of Li Xubin's department was extremely low, but in this case, Li Xubin actually let Li Xubin run. …,

Although the Hongjun did not have a high evaluation of the Hunan army, according to the experience of the old Taiping army, as long as the various units of the Hunan army did not suffer a complete annihilating blow, as long as the skeleton was still there, it would only take half a year to re-establish the skeleton, and of course there was a big gap between the combat effectiveness of the rebuilt troops and the old troops.

Li Xubin's Hunan army is the strongest among the Hunan armies outside Nanchang City, although the first division can leave now, but the second division is afraid that it will continue to meet Li Xubin in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, thinking of this, Zhai Jie continued: "The bigger question, if our first division leaves, can your second division be able to stand in Jiangxi!" ”

"What's wrong with that!" Now Huo Qiu had to defend the Second Division and the Second Army that would be established: "Old army commander, don't worry, the whole of Jiangxi is not ...... It is enough to have our second division in the entire upstream, you just have to rest assured that you will return to the east! ”

"No!" Zhai Jie made up his mind: "Anyway, there were already 300 casualties in the first division yesterday, and no matter how many hundreds of casualties were, we will try to attack Nanchang City today and strive for a general attack tomorrow!" ”

"This ......," Huo Qiu said, "It's almost noon now!" ”

Although the battle in general ended last night, the work of sweeping the tail has continued until this morning, and even now there are sporadic fires in some areas, you must know that this is after all more than 20,000 Qing troops, although half of them fled back to Nanchang City, but continuing to sweep these Hunan troops took a lot of energy.

Just now, the Third Regiment came to report that they had caught a large group of fish that had slipped through the net during the search and suppression, and this group of Qing troops had gathered in Ludang by the river, and although it came from five or six battalions, the total number was as many as more than 100 people.

Moreover, from yesterday to now, the entire First Army has been fighting for twenty or thirty hours in a row, and many officers and men have only drunk a sip of water and eaten a meal, and it can be said that they are extremely tired.

But Zhai Jie's eyes flashed with the rare perseverance in his life: "If you miss the present, you miss the future, there are still thirty-six hours before my first division returns to the east!" ”

The decision is made!

Fumar felt depressed.

Although what he did in Ningbo Mansion is somewhat controversial, and he is only the third person in Ningbo Port, the real dictator of Ningbo is that Liu Changliu is the Duhu, but he is in Ningbo Port and even the entire eastern part of the country, but such a good life has passed because of the French factor.

In fact, the French sent an illegitimate Consul of the French Empire in Ningbo in an attempt to take Fumar's place, but Fumar turned him away according to traditional diplomatic rules.

But the French consul, although he did not land in Ningbo, caused Fumar a lot of trouble, and many Westerners began to avoid direct contact with him.

Although the actions of the French did not have the tacit approval of the British, and the British still maintained a neutral position on the Far East, the problem was that this expedition in the Far East was a joint effort between the two great empires of France and Russia, and this alone seemed to represent a bad future for the Rainbow Army and the port of Ningbo.

In fact, Fumar did not sympathize with the rebel group of the Hongjun, and he even had some criticism of that Liu Jiehu, but the attitude was one thing, and the interests were the other thing.

Now the future of Consul Fumar's Ministry has been staked on the neutrality of Ningbo Port, in fact, the fate of the entire Ningbo Port and the Hongjun is one, so Fumar has broken the oath of neutrality, and he even openly acts as a spy for Liu Jiehu. …,

Not only did he send people to find out the news of the French in Shanghai, but even he himself acted as a spy for the Rainbow Army, leaking the data of the French army's strength, establishment, and even weapons and equipment to the Rainbow Army, and even hoped that the Rainbow Army could achieve some victories on the battlefield.

However, according to the information he obtained, he was secretly worried about the Hong Army, although some of the French and Russian troops participating in the war had not yet arrived in Shanghai, the final strength would reach about 10,000.

Even in Europe, this is a large force, and in the East it is already a staggering number, not to mention that they can still get a steady stream of reinforcements from the country, although the French Empire is separated from the Far East, but the Russian Empire is different, they can get reinforcements from the Far East very quickly.

According to Fumar's intelligence, the Russians had an army of 14,000 men in Siberia before the Crimean War, and although it is not clear how many troops they increased after the outbreak of the Crimean War, Fumar estimated that perhaps Russia could devote 10,000 or more troops to the eastern part of China.

According to what he knew, although the Rainbow Army had tens of thousands of troops in the eastern part of the Central Kingdom and had been armed with European-style weapons and equipment, these troops could only be regarded as Napoleon's army at most according to European standards, and only a few elite troops were equipped with the standards of the July Dynasty.

However, there are great doubts about the combat effectiveness of these troops, after all, the entire Rainbow Army has only been built for less than two years, and there is a big gap between the French and Russian armies with historical heritage, not to mention that the training and equipment of the French army and the Russian army have surpassed the elite troops in these rebel armies.

More importantly, according to Fumar's intelligence, up to now, the vast majority of the elite troops of the rebels are far away in Jiangxi Province, and there is only the third division in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and it is difficult for Fumar to make an accurate judgment on how much combat effectiveness the remaining infantry brigades have in front of European armies.

But he could not accept the military defeat of the Rainbow Army, which meant that all his business in the past year had been in vain, so that a small group of people around Fumar who opposed the French and Russian Empire's intervention in China was soon formed, and now Fumar was talking to another key member of this small group about how to sabotage the expedition: "Count de Mences, can you give me a good advice?" ”。 ）
