Outside Jinling City. The top of Bell Mountain.

From time to time, you can hear the sound of qiāng cannons coming from Jinling City, and even the scene of the big jun shā can be seen from time to time, but the residence of Xiang Rong on the top of Zhongshan Mountain, but there is no trace of the smell of horses

Orchid bamboo is everywhere, fragrant, like the residence of a scholar.

A capable old man in his early fifties helped an old man who was getting old to walk slowly between the orchid bamboos, and after walking more than thirty steps, the old man shook his head: "Old, old, I am happy to not accept the old!" ”

This person is Xiang Rong Xiang Xinran, whether it is someone who hates him or praises him, he has to admit that this old man is the pillar of the Jiāng Nanda Battalion, since Jun Xing, he has been indisobedient, and even if the silver he handles now is not 40 million taels, 30 million taels has already been broken.

However, no one in the Jingli Province dared to ask where the silver was, and even Xianfeng Yé never asked where the money went, and from this alone, it was clear that this Xiang Rong was indeed a figure closely related to the fortune of the Qing Dynasty.

"Xiang Shuai, you are not old!" The old man in his early fifties next to him said, "You're just a few years older than me, what are you talking about!" ”

"Fifty is not confused, Shaoliang, when you follow me from Jun, it happens to be the year of not being confused, right?"

"Yes!" The person who answered was none other than Admiral Dèng Shaoliang of Zhejiang, and he replied: "I am the first year of Xianfeng who followed Xiang Shuai to pacify the bandits, and it has been five spring and autumn seasons so far!" ”

"Fifty-five years old, you're old too!" Xiang Rong nodded and said, he found a plain stone bench and sat down: "Do you have any confidence in aiding Zhejiang this time?" ”

"Now that the mountains and rivers are broken, we can only do our best!"

In 1850, he captured Li Yuanfa and broke the strongest force since Daoguang, and in the first year of Xianfeng, he followed Xiang Rongnan's expedition to the north.

It's just that Xiang Rong also smiled bitterly: "This time I asked you to aid Zhejiang, I'm afraid it will make you feel wronged, we will hire people in the camp, either Sichuan people, or Guang people, you are a Hunan Qianzhou person mixed in, it's a pity to ......"

Xiang Rong said, "It's a pity. "That's the truth.

Jiāng Nan Daying has always been divided into two major systems Xiang Rong himself is a Sichuanese, as a result, there is a Sichuan villager who fights the world for him, Zhang Yuliang is a Guangren, and naturally there are a group of good brothers from Liangguang, but although Chu Yong is many, but not a system is formed, although Dèng Shaoliang is the second general who can fight in the big camp, and even rose to the position of the governor of Zhejiang, he still can't change such a cold reality.

"The old man is old!" Xiang Rong continued: "I'm afraid I won't be able to see the light in my life, and now I can't walk, let alone go to the battlefield, I can only think about the reputation behind me, Shao Liang!" ”

Dèng Shaoliang served Xiang Rong on the side, like a young child under the guidance of a strict teacher: "Xiang Shuai, the little one is here!" ”

Xiang Rong is indeed old, and he speaks slowly: "This time to aid Zhejiang, you will concentrate on being transferred to the governor of Zhejiang, don't come back!" ”

"Xiang Shuai?" Dèng Shaoliang was taken aback: "Why did Xiang Shuai say this?" ”

"I really feel like marrying a daughter now!" Xiang Rong sighed: "Your team to aid Zhejiang this time is the dowry I gave you to go to Zhejiang Jiāng to work hard, I followed Yáng Yuchun to fight a lot of hard ...... back then."

He pointed to a large piece of missing skin on his face and said: "This is the one who stayed behind with the handsome Yáng Yuchun in Huaxian County, and it has never grown!" ”…,

Dèng Shao Liang Yan knew this, and immediately responded, Xiang Rong continued: "Now you don't have to be so polite to me, you are also the person who is called Junmen!" ”

"Xiang Shuai!" Dèng Shao Liang knelt down for Xiang Rong: "Xiang Shuai Daen, Shao Liang doesn't know how to feel jī?" ”

Xiang Rong smiled: "The seven thousand bīng generals you brought to aid Zhejiang this time are all elite battalions, and there are foreign cannons, if I had sent you to aid Zhejiang a long time ago, instead of having selfish intentions to resend Zhang Yuyiliang, how could there be a red zéi, this is because I am too selfish and have missed a big thing!" ”

Dèng Shaoliang didn't dare to answer, this Xiang Rong's Jiwei was still there, he could only kneel on the ground, and continued to listen to Xiang Rong say: "If you lead seven thousand Jing Bīng to Zhejiāng, the jun affairs of this big camp are worrying!" ”

Dèng Shao Liang immediately said: "When the red zéi is calm, Shao Liang must immediately rush back to Jinling to help in the battle!" ”

Xiang Rong shook his head, he had been fighting all his life, and he didn't know how many battles he had experienced, but he never looked like a Jun person, he said with a little kindness unique to an old man: "Go, go!" If you go to Zhejiāng, you don't have to come back! I'm marrying one of the best daughters to Zhejiāng, I just hope that you and Zhejiāng don't fail me! ”

"Shao Liangning has a negative Zhejiang jiāng, and he will never dare to fail to Xiang Shuai!" Dèng Shaoliang immediately said: "Wait for the handsome to rest assured!" ”

"Zhejiāng is already living up to the big camp, if not, why should I send you to help Zhejiang!" Xiang Rong talked eloquently: "The slack jiāng January co-pay six months, there has never been a trace of the source of my big camp, presumably you are in Zhejiang, this source of pay should also be endless." ”

"Wait for Xiang Shuai to rest assured! Shao Liang said in his life that he would never dare to be a handsome. ”

"That's good!" Xiang Rong smiled indifferently: "Then you will do a good job in Zhejiang, Zhejiang, after you aid Zhejiang, this Zhejiang, the governor of Zhejiang, will be justified, just wait for the future to be able to achieve something great with Yáng Yuchun Dashuai." ”

yáng Yuchun was the first famous general in the Qianlong and Jiaqing periods, with a great reputation, and finally served as the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu. ”

Dèng Shaoliang knelt on the ground and said: "The little one has already known that he wants to go out with Fujian Province, and Fujian Province will attack Chuzhou on the side, and I will attack Jin Huá on both tracks, and I will inevitably force Hong Zéi to return from Ning Shao!" ”

"That's great!" Xiang Rong nodded and said: "It's just that it's not a victory before the battle, it's a loss first, if you can't support it in Zhejiang, you can still go back to Suzhou, are you ready for the back road?" ”

"Five hundred bīngs have been sent to cooperate with Zhao Jingxian to garrison Hucheng, and another thousand bīngs have been sent to Hangzhou to cover the grain road!"

Xiang Rong nodded, although he was not in Zhejiang, and he was already old, but he knew everything about the situation in Zhejiang: "Huzhou Zhao Jingxian's side, don't underestimate it, Zhejiang Jiāng group practice, he is the earliest, and he is doing very well!" Relatively speaking, what kind of goods did Wang Luqian do in Shaoxing Mansion! ”

The two places of Shaoxing Mansion and Huzhou Mansion can be said to be two typical examples of the achievements of the Zhejiang Jiāng Group, one is positive, the other is negative, and Dèng Shaoliang also knows the internal situation: "Zhao Jingxian's side, the group is very good, and recently purchased a large number of foreign cannons, although I am stationed in Bīng 500, it is just the icing on the cake, but it is Hangzhou Qiantang Renhe Liangshou County, and the defense is worrying." ”

Although Dèng Shaoliang was stationed in Hangzhou Prefecture for thousands of people, Hua still expressed concern about the defense of Hangzhou Prefecture, and Xiang Rong also sighed: "It depends on how long Shaoxing and Ningbo can hold out?" I can only do my best! ”

He had no ambition to return to heaven for a long time, so he could only drag the current jú noodles down, and Shao Liang immediately replied: "Shao Liang has sent 600 poles to Bao Lishen of Shaoxing Mansion to carry qiāng and bird qiāng, 20 mountain splitting cannons, and 30 yang qiāng, I hope he can support a few days." ”…,

Xiang Rong sighed again: "I can't imagine that the qi of my Qing Dynasty is hanging on the body of a god qiāng, go!" Dèngjunmen, I am in the mood of getting married, and you are also a parent, so you can naturally know my heart! ”

Dèng Shaoliang served Xiang Rong carefully: "Xiang Shuai, I'll help you go back to your room to rest!" ”

"Quick! Fast! Fast! ”

In late August, Jinhuá Mansion was already a busy city, and the various infantry battalions that had been stationed on the Jinshao border immediately split into two routes to attack Shaoxing and Ningbo after receiving orders.

The Long Qiāng Regiment was responsible for attacking Ningbo Mansion, the Nanxi Battalion was mainly attacking Shaoxing Mansion, each independent battalion also had its own mission, and the Panshi Regiment served as the general reserve of the whole Jun, with Liu Chang's order, the Hongjun battle flag had crossed the border and started the battle.

In the sound of qiāng, Liu Chang was making a final graduation speech to the students of the first phase of Shanye Jun School: "Ladies and gentlemen, I, the principal, am sorry for you, the number of times I come to the school is too small, and the conditions of your first-term students are particularly bad, and we have only met a few times now!" ”

The fact is not as Liu Chang said, in just two months, Liu Chang went to Shanye Jun School seven times, each time he tried to inspect every company, and shook hands with every student as much as possible, but his energy was limited after all, and with the progress of the war, Shanye Jun School had to come to the time of results.

When the first batch of students of Shanye Jun School officially joined the team and graduated, it was only a little more than two months, and considering that they also performed a considerable amount of combat duty, their actual training time was only one and a half months, but this was almost the highest quality of the entire Hongjun Junjun.

In the past month and a half, they had to learn new knowledge every day, and everything they had learned was several times more than what they knew before, but with the progress of the Battle of Ningshao, they had to graduate early.

Shanye's batch of graduates, most of them are still distributed to the ministry and serve as the position of meeting the xí platoon commander, but they only spend three months meeting the xí platoon commander, and they are generally ready to transfer to the platoon cadre department, but Liu Chang has high expectations for them.

"I guess you already know where you're going after graduation!" Liu Chang continued: "Although I only saw the platoon commander, I know that your talents are by no means limited to the position of one platoon commander, and our commander of the last big jun of Hongjun will appear among you!" ”

PS: There are guests at home, and the second is more likely to be after twelve o'clock. ）
