Chapter 218 Reinforcements (Second Update, Asking for a Monthly Pass)

"The mutinous Tai Yong has been punished by Lanxi and Longyou Group Training!" He Guiqing breathed a sigh of relief: "The situation in our Zhejiang can also be eased!" ”

He said yes was originally stationed in Changshan a mutiny Taiyong, at the end of April after the Taiping army from Jiangxi into the country, it approached Changshan, at that time stationed in Changshan Quzhou Xu Zhifu is the Han army banner people, although ordered to garrison in Changshan, but often is a boat as an apartment, there are also famous prostitutes in the boat to talk about incense, very favored, as a result of the end of the Taiping Army, Xu Zhifu has already sailed away first, so that the Taiping Army exclaimed and could not catch up.

As soon as the prefect of Xu left, the Quzhou town of Changshan was immediately defeated, and hundreds of Taiyong stationed in Changshan took the opportunity to loot in Changshan, returned with a full load, and then collapsed to Xi'an County, Xi'an County ordered Wu Honglai to still be able to do things, and captured and killed more than 100 people, this Taiyong continued to run rampant in Zhejiang, and the riots caused even outperformed the Taiping army's entry, until Longyou territory, dozens of people were killed by the local militia, and finally retreated to Lanxi, and the county ordered Miyun Road to lead the militia to intercept and kill, and Taiyong rarely got out.

But what He Guiqing didn't explain is that since Tai Yong was plundered, the militia killed him, and their stolen goods also fell into the hands of the militia group.

But what He Guiqing said was another point: "Lanxi and Longyou group practice so dare to fight, Jinhua Mansion can be defended!" ”

Next to him, Wang Youling said with a smile: "That's right, Jinhua Mansion can be guarded, today is worrying, only Ningbo Mansion Er!" ”

This is a true fact, now the red thieves have first fled back from Fujian, and then from the state capital, plus the rout Taiyong was annihilated, the Taiping army besieged Quzhou Mansion without success, only the more than 10,000 red thieves led by Liu Jiehu have the strongest combat power, and repeatedly thwarted the official army, which is He Guiqing's henchman.

Yan Duanshu thought more simply: "Why don't you let Wang Butang send troops to the north, sweep the pear cave in the court, break through the red thief's nest in Wenzhou in one fell swoop, and then go north from Yueqing, you can get all the work!" ”

This method is the most ideal plan, but He Guiqing told them: "It is best to let Wang Butang recover Wenzhou and Taizhou, but it is a pity that Wang Butang may not be willing to send troops to Wenzhou!" ”

Wang Yide as the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Wenzhou is also his jurisdiction, but after all, it is not as direct as Fujian, in the past few months, although He Guiqing sent Hu Xueyan to send five or six times of silver, but Wang Yide has never let go, or that sentence: "To protect Fuzhou is to level the red thieves in Wenzhou!" ”

Now although the soldiers of Fujian and Jiangxi provinces have recovered Fuding and expelled the red thief Qu Zhenhan from Fujian, they have stopped the army and not advanced, and Jiangxi is even more vicious, and directly under the pretext that the war in Jiangxi is tight, the 5,000 troops who have come to aid Fujian and Jiangxi have been withdrawn to Jiangxi, and the Fujian army has naturally stopped without the Jiangxi army.

Of course He Guiqing knew whose handiwork it was, wasn't it Zeng Guofan and the Hunan people around him who wanted to extend their tentacles to Zhejiang, this must not be what Chen Qimai and Chen Zhongcheng meant, now Chen Qimai can't even keep his position as governor, how can he make trouble with him!

As soon as he thought of this, He Guiqing's anger became bigger, Chen Zhongcheng was Zeng Guofan's fellow villager and the same year, he was so ruthless, he had been fighting with Zeng Disheng for so long, and now that he had caused such a big leak, there was only one way to go.

He affectionately called Wang Youling's words: "Xue Xuan, you personally go to the Jiangnan camp and hand my handwritten letter to Xiang Shuai, saying that Zhejiang can't support it, and ask him to pull Zhejiang." ”

"Zhongcheng Gaojian!" Wang Youling immediately said: "As long as tiger generals such as Zhang Guoliang and Deng Shaoliang come out, Liu Jiehu can only be captured!" ”

He Guiqing shook his head: "Xiang Shuai takes the siege of Jinling as the first priority, although Zhejiang is tight, how can it be possible to send tiger generals such as Zhang Guoliang and Deng Shaoliang, but as long as Qin Ruhu comes, I am already satisfied!" ..., he continued: "Fujian Wangbutang, we also have to fight, you let Hu Xueyan go, why do you have to invite a tiger general to come, even if you don't invite a tiger general, please invite a watchdog into Zhejiang!" ”

Then he continued to make the final decision: "Although the defense of Ningbo Mansion is tight, but Jinhua Mansion cannot relax, you inform Jinhua Prefect Shi Jingfen, I will let Xia Baodeng and Tao Baoqing each lead Taiyong from Ningguo to aid Jinhua, and now Zhejiang's defense is tight, and there is only so much I can do!" ”

He sighed slightly: "If all the efforts don't work, you can only watch the mountains and rivers of Zhejiang change color!" ”

……

Fujian. Fujian and Zhejiang Governor's Office.

Wang Yide glanced at Lu Yansun, the governor of Fujian, and could only say with a wry smile: "He Genyun is roasting me on the fire, he wants me to be the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, not the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang!" ”

Zhejiang, Fujian, Fujian and Zhejiang, although it is the difference in order, but the actual meaning is completely different, the following Fujian political envoy Qingduan smiled: "But in any case, the two counties of Wentai have fallen, and they are all under the jurisdiction of the minister!" ”

"What do I take to recover the two counties of Wentai, he He Genyun will sweep the pear cave in the court, we will have to send at least 20,000 soldiers in Fujian, and the military salary will be millions, where will I raise these many soldiers' food!"

Qingduan can be regarded as capable of doing anything, and he also knows that the problem now lies in the fact that as soon as the Red Turban Army is driven out of Fujian, the 5,000 reinforcements from Jiangxi immediately decide to retreat to Jiangxi and no longer advance north.

He knew that this was Zeng Disheng's handiwork, and even knew that Zeng Disheng was ruthless enough this time, first he pulled down Chen Qimai, the governor of Jiangxi who had been fighting with him, and was ready to change to a Hunan person in the position of governor of Zhejiang.

The Hunan army is short of salaries, and this place in Zhejiang can really get hundreds of thousands of military salaries everywhere, Zeng Guofan can not be blushing, but He Guiqing, a small group, dominates the territory of Zhejiang, and does not give Zeng Disheng a profit at all!

Therefore, he deliberately wanted to dismantle He Guiqing's platform, but after such a draw, the entire Zhejiang war situation became difficult.

Therefore, Qingduan could only say: "Ministry, Zhejiang's affairs are not easy to manage, but you can't ignore it, or your statement is the most correct, to protect Fuzhou is to calm the Wenzhou red thief." ”

Wang Yide smiled knowingly, originally with the help of the Jiangxi army, it was naturally not a problem for the two provinces of Jiangxi and Fujian to work together to sweep away the two counties of Wentai, but as soon as the Jiangxi army withdrew, the Fujian army could not sing a one-man show.

After all, Wang Yide personally interrogated the captured old red thieves, and they all said that the dragon spear camp did not come this time, and the dragon spear camp numbered in thousands, all of them were foreign guns and foreign artillery, attacking like thunder and guarding Mount Tai, if the dragon spear battalion came together, then the red thieves might have hit Fuzhou Mansion.

Although there are still more than 10,000 red thieves who withdrew to Wenzhou, but with Wang Yide's personal ideas, it is probably not a problem to sweep Wenzhou Mansion with the strength of the Fujian army, and what I am afraid of is that when the Fujian army is fighting fiercely with the red thieves, Liu Juehu's dragon spear battalion suddenly went south, and the guns and cannons were fired together, which may repeat Li Zicheng's defeat in front of Shanhaiguan.

Therefore, he agreed with Qingduan's opinion: "What Zhentai said is good, Zhejiang's affairs are not easy to manage, and they can't be managed!" ”

Qingduan immediately asked: "Then how should I help Zhejiang." ”

"I will send a general to lead thousands of troops to aid Zhejiang!" Wang Yide said with a smile: "Of course, the food, salary, silver, money, arms and ordnance of this brave army are all spent by Zhejiang in accordance with the old practice of Ningfang, and I am responsible for the personnel and financial planning. ”

According to the practice of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the soldiers are the soldiers, and the brave is the recruit, and as soon as the war stops, it is natural to abolish the recruits, and this time the Red Turban Army was expelled from northern Fujian, and the new recruits in Fujian Province amounted to 20,000 people.

Therefore, Wang Yide felt that it was too much pity to dismiss all these brave men who had experienced actual combat, and it was better for Zhejiang to pay for this brave army, and leave the personnel and finances to Fujian.

Qing Duan immediately asked again: "Which general is the ministry ordering!" "...,"Zhangzhou Town Chief Soldier Rao Tingxuan!"

"Good!" Saying this, it was the governor of Fujian, Lu Yansun, who had been silent: "The ministry has chosen a good general!" ”

The reason why it is said that the general is well selected is not that Wang Yide really chose a peerless general.

On the contrary, this Rao Tingxuan is among the generals of the Fujian army, although he can be called a veteran and has made many achievements, but he is definitely not the top ones.

But it was precisely because Rao Tingxuan was not the top of the Fujian army that Wang Yide could rest assured that he and thousands of soldiers would be able to lend him to Zhejiang, and leave the best generals in Fujian to take care of their families.

This is like two people in the same imperial examination, people with good pen and ink will definitely not lend their best pen and ink to their opponents, and two people will not lend their best bow and horse in the same competition.

But this Rao Tingxuan is the most up-and-coming second-rate general of the Fujian army, and even if he can't win a big victory in Zhejiang, he won't be able to do it, so Lu Yansun couldn't help but praise the good general.

Qingduan also praised: "The Fujian people are blessed, and they will be able to produce a few generals among them, unlike Zhejiang who can't even find a general." ”

In fact, this is what Hu Linyi, the governor of Hubei, said, and the original words are: "The country has used troops for several years, and all provinces have capable generals to resist insults, whether Zhejiang has it or not?" I don't know! ”

During the Taiping War, Zhejiang was from the beginning with the idea of borrowing troops from abroad, at first it was borrowed from the Jiangnan battalion to prevent Ningguo, and later it was changed to Fujian and Jiangxi to borrow generals, and there were never the idea of self-reliance.

Wang Yide is also in a good mood, although this Fujian army left Fujian to aid Zhejiang, but all personnel, financial and even military command rights, but still completely grasp their own hands, with such a large army into Zhejiang, He Guiqing, a native of Yunnan, can not be tied up and obey orders.

If there is something in Fujian in the future, this army can return to the division to help Fujian, which is really a good idea to eat more than one fish.

He said to the Fujian governor and the Fujian envoy beside him: "It's just that Rao Tingxuan is the first-class general of our Fujian army, and it can't be easily borrowed from Zhejiang, it depends on how much sincerity He Genyun can have." ”

Lu Yansun and Qingduan both smiled knowingly, they still didn't understand the joints.

Sincerity is silver, silver is sincerity, and if there is gold, this sincerity is even more sincere.
