"Hmm!" Liu Chang replied: "Same as Huzhou, I am worthy of them!"

There are about 1,500 Dongwang's old troops in Hangzhou Prefecture, and it is a typical expansion to form an infantry regiment and a large battalion, and Yang Changmei also replied very well: "It is worthy of me, but I don't agree with He Wenqing as the head of the regiment, he is not suitable." ”

"Why?" Liu Chang immediately asked the reason: "He has good ability." ”

"He's not from the Dragon Lance Battalion!" Yang Changmei replied: "After all, that's my brother's old department, I can't let them be bullied!"

"A cadre from the Dragon Lance Battalion? You don't have to pay so much attention to the mountains!" Liu Chang felt that He Wenqing was a very qualified leader: "I think He Wenqing is really good, do you have a favorite candidate over there?" ”

After all, this is the old department of Dongwang, and now they are all under Yang Changmei's main department, so Liu Chang must also ask Yang Changmei's opinion, and Yang Changmei also proposed her own candidate: "He is the commander of the independent battalion, and now he is transferred to the commander of the big battalion, which can be regarded as a half-level promotion, but Huzhou uses Zhu Hailan, even if it is forgotten, I can't let people who have no foundation in the Hong Army take my brother's old department here, and I can't let my brother's old department be bullied, by the way, where is Feng Sixian now?" ”

Feng Sixian is indeed a veteran cadre of the Dragon Gun Battalion, whether it is during his tenure in the Dragon Gun Battalion, or as the deputy commander of the Huang Taiping Independent Battalion and the county governor of Huangyan, he has performed extraordinarily, and now that he is in office, Liu Chang blurted out: "He is now the deputy head of the Taizhou Independent Regiment, and at the same time?" ”

Next to him, Nan Bohang added: "Deputy head Feng is also the same governor of Taizhou coastal defense." ”

Regarding the candidate proposed by Yang Changmei, Liu Chang can also agree: "Then send a telegram and let Feng Sixian come to Hangzhou!"

Yang Changmei was also very satisfied with Liu Chang's acceptance of the candidate she recommended, but she mentioned again: "Tinglan, how do you adapt?" ”

Liu Chang first ordered Nan Bohang: "What are the numbers of these two infantry regiments?" ”

"Huzhou is the 63rd Infantry Regiment, Hangzhou is the 64th Infantry Regiment, and the 62nd Regiment has been given to the Second Brigade!" Nan Bohang replied: "If you want to reorganize the old department of the Wing King, you can give the number of the 65th Regiment." ”

Liu Chang only said to Yang Changmei now: "The Wing King is still here, and I will adapt his people." Does Tinglan have any ideas over there? ”

"Isn't the Winged King here? It's all about adaptation!" Yang Changmei is very clear, she clearly knows what kind of impact this turmoil has on the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom: "Now it's the Heavenly Father who kills the Heavenly Brother......

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was a regime organized by the Worship of God Religion, which in a sense was the unity of theocracy, and the chaos in Tianjing led to the confusion of the beliefs of the core backbone of the Worship Church.

For a long time during the Tianjing Incident, the entire Kingdom of Heaven was in turmoil, and even the old brothers in Guangxi felt regretful. However, the Qing Dynasty held the policy of catching Guangxi's personality killing, and the Heavenly King lured him with officials and lords, and barely stabilized the situation, but for most of the time after the Tianjing Rebellion, except for the second break of the Jiangnan camp to attack Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was almost on the overall strategic defensive.

And for Liu Chang. That is a God-given opportunity, Yang Changmei said very bluntly: "The fall of the kingdom of heaven, I'm afraid it will be a matter of time, Yang Fuqing and they are wandering outside, although it is not my flesh and blood affection, but it is finally the descendant of my brother who raised it, if they are willing to serve, husband, you will leave more or less affection, I ask for this!"

Yang Fuqing, these Heavenly Kingdom Sects, are different from the old Eastern King who went south this time. Almost all of these Dongwang's old troops are middle- and lower-level officers, so Huzhou can send Zhu Hailan, and Hangzhou can send Feng Sixian to lead them, just let Yang Changmei come forward and say a word, and the thoughts of these middle- and lower-level officers and soldiers can be understood. ..., but Yang Fuqing and the others are all heavily armed, even when Yang Xiuqing was alive, he couldn't command these Guozong with the same surname like an arm, not to mention what Liu Chang and Yang Changmei wanted. It's just to save these people's lives.

"I promise you. Eldest sister!"

It's just that Yang Changmei got Liu Chang's promise, but she threw herself into Liu Chang's arms. Sobbed quietly, no matter how much Liu Chang persuaded her, she couldn't stop her tears.

She's a real wretch.

Liu Chang raised his hand and asked the combat staff officers present to withdraw, ready to have a good talk with Yang Changmei, but the latest news came from there: "Check and check, the chaos in Tianjing has finally been calmed down, the Wing King led his troops into Tianjing, the Northern King Wei Huichang was killed, and the life and death of Ding Tianyan are unknown......"

History finally stubbornly returned to the original trajectory, Ding Tianyan was the original Yan King Qin Rigang, and was later demoted because of things, but in any case, he was one of the eight kings of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

In history, after Qin Rigang, who was imprisoned for several months in Tianjing City, he was finally executed by the Heavenly King, and it also represents the so-called Eight Kings of the Heavenly Kingdom, except for the nominal Heavenly King, only the Wing King is left.

The princes who were lower than the king were also killed in this turmoil, and only five or six remained, so that Shi Dakai's conspirator succeeded, and soon became an important person within the tenth rank of the heavenly kingdom as prime minister.

Liu Chang hugged Yang Changmei tighter and tighter, and just said: "I know ......"

Instead, Eldest Sister Yang let go, and she said with tears in her eyes: "Husband, you go, you have time to accompany me and Sister Tinglan ......"

Liu Chang didn't let go, his hand gently slapped Yang Changmei's shoulder, and his mouth shouted: "Nanbo Hang!" ”

"In!"

Liu Chang hugged Yang Changmei while dictating the order: "I hereby order to officially implement the second phase of the spring offensive, order the first infantry division to leave one infantry battalion in Huzhou as the left flank, and the third infantry brigade to immediately move towards southern Jiangsu, and strive to capture the Suchang ......area in the shortest possible time."

"The main force of the cavalry regiment immediately cooperated with the main force of the first division to fight before, sent powerful troops to the southern Jiangsu troops, and covered the flank of the main force!"

"The Jiaxing detachment should strengthen the infantry battalion with force, and advance to southern Jiangsu......"

"The Second Infantry Regiment immediately took over the security operation in the Huzhou area with powerful troops!" Liu Chang continued to order: "After the formation of the 63rd Infantry Regiment is completed, it will immediately be assigned to the teaching team to carry out public security operations in the Hangzhou area......

When he finished dictating this series of orders, Liu Chang grabbed Yang Changmei's hand, no matter how Yang Changmei struggled, but he didn't let go, Liu Chang said softly: "The sky is falling, I will stand up with you!" ”

……

Nanchang Province.

Zeng Guofan and Zhao Liewen's chess game is in the middle of the game again, but Zeng Guofan is in a very good mood: "Liu Changyou's army has arrived in Jiangxi, and Hong Yang is killing each other in Jinling, God really helps me Hunan people!" ”

Zhao Liewen saw it lightly, and dropped another son: "Shilang, this game of chess has only reached the middle game, and the outcome is still unknown......

Zeng Guofan smiled calmly: "That's right, it's just a mid-game, but I saw defeat, but our army is in a desperate situation, and the defeat of the Cantonese bandits and red thieves is decided!" ”

Zhao Liewen smiled: "How did you know? ”

Zeng Guofan laughed and said: "The Cantonese bandits have risen, and they are just relying on Western Catholic fanaticism, and today the heavenly brothers and heavenly fathers are killing each other, and the so-called eight kings of the first righteousness are only one of the pseudo-wing kings except for Hong Chao, and the people's hearts are in turmoil, so naturally they are in chaos without a fight......

Zhao Liewen nodded and said: "Although the Cantonese bandits are gone, they are still thin camels, and they have heavy troops in Hubei and Jiangxi, which should not be underestimated!" ”

Zeng Guofan said: "The puppet king of the north has been executed, and today's defender of Wuchang, Wei Jun, the brother of the north rebellion, is also, his people must be frightened, how to defend the city, within the tenth month, Wuchang will inevitably recover, as for those in Jiangxi, there is no worries, you must know that although Lin Qirong was able to be crowned, it is actually the old department of the puppet king of the east, Yang Xiuqing is both punished, how can Lin Qirong deal with himself!" ”…,

Zhao Liewen agreed with Zeng Guofan's idea: "Shilang is good, but the Cantonese bandits are still based in seven counties and forty counties in Jiangxi, and now there are red thieves in Jiangxi, it is impossible to underestimate them!" ”

"As for the Red Thief!" Zeng Guofan even vented the bitterness of being trapped in Jiangxi for more than a year: "It's not enough to be troubled, if you want to know the elite of the red thieves, there are only three brigades of dragon lance, Nanxi and Panshi. ”

He said endlessly in front of his mastermind: "Those who fight with me for the Yangtze River, but Huo Qiu's Nanxi Brigade has less than 10,000 soldiers, and the elite of the dragon spear and rock department are often used in Hangjiasu!" ”

"Liu Jiehu takes Jiangsu and Zhejiang with two-thirds, and takes Jiangsu and Zhejiang with one-third, this light I Hunan Jiangxi division is also, now the soldiers are in Jiangxi, and the United Township Yong Regiment is practicing the plan, no less than 50,000 people, and the new Liu Changyou army has 10,000 people into Jiangxi, and there is still Bao Chaoting's army and then into Jiangxi, this goshawk fights rabbits, and the knife kills chickens!"

Zhao Liewen agreed with Zeng Guofan's analysis: "Today's Jiangxi Province is stalemate, related to the national fortune, Liu Jiehu to the main struggle for Jiangsu and Zhejiang, to enter Jiangxi with partial divisions, it seems to have the best of both worlds, but in fact it is a great failure, the soldiers in Jiangxi are not less than 30,000 or 40,000, and take the opportunity of Hongyang's internal strife, turn to defend and attack, if the Yangtze River is for me, in fact, the southeast has been decided. ”

This is almost a repetition of later history, Xianfeng ten years of the Taiping army in the southeast to carry out an earth-shattering strategic counteroffensive, first besieged Wei to save Zhao Ben attack Hangzhou, then defeated Hechun, Zhang Guoliang, defeated the Jiangnan camp, directly took Su Chang, and then went south to Hangjiahu, this round of strategic offensive continued until 1862 The Taiping army besieged Shanghai and took Zhejiang.

However, in the Taiping Army's singing offensive, Zeng Guofan silently implemented the Battle of Anqing in the upper reaches, at that time, both Chen Yucheng and Li Xiucheng never realized the importance of Anqing, and were still nostalgic for the rich areas downstream, and the main force did not return for several months.

Until Anqing was in an emergency, Chen Yucheng reluctantly united with Chen Xiucheng to attempt a second westward expedition, but at this time the Hunan army had formed an absolutely dominant encirclement near Anqing, Chen Yucheng not only did not succeed in breaking the siege, but lost his number one main force Liu Xuanlin and Wu Dingcai's department with strong combat effectiveness, Huang Wenjin and Wu Ruxiao, who were regarded as the backbone, were devastated.

And now Zeng Guofan wants to implement this plan in advance and strive for the upstream, and Zhao Liewen glanced at Zeng Guofan and said with a smile: "Those who compete for the upper reaches are really fighting for Jiujiang!" ”
