Outside Jiangling City, led by the enthusiastic Zhou Huai'an himself, and Yang Shigu, who inspected the achievements of the Taiping Army during this time, walked and suddenly heard a faint muffled thunder in the daytime, and couldn't help but be a little surprised and shocked.

"That's the brothers taking advantage of the shallow winter water to clean up the reef exposed on the river,"

Zhou Huai'an explained disapprovingly:

"In this way, after the beginning of spring, it will be more convenient to travel back and forth."

Although the artillery casting of the Taiping Army could not be spread on a large scale for a while, the corresponding expansion of gunpowder production and application means had already caught up with the front. For example, black powder blasting, which is widely used in construction projects, has replaced the time-consuming and laborious acetic acid cautery and stripping method in the past.

When necessary, these construction craftsmen who have accumulated enough experience and craftsmanship can directly join the army and become military engineering operations, and even play an important role in attacking and breaking fortresses. Of course, there is no need to show this kind of thing casually in front of others.

"Brother Xuan really cares about the local people's livelihood."

Yang Shigu said with sincere admiration.

After all, there are too few people in the righteous army who can understand the governance of the people, and those who can run the local area are even more talented; It's a pity that he couldn't stop the incitement and demagogy of those people around Huang Wang at the beginning, so he made things happen step by step to this point.

Otherwise, if there is such a great talent in the general's mansion who is good at governance and management, and can manage the army; Since then, under the intimacy with the Yellow King, without any worries, what kind of terrible power can be exerted in the Northern Expedition, so that the general trend of the righteous army will suffer many inexplicable disasters and setbacks.

Now, even without the support and help of the Great General's Mansion, he was able to re-emerge outside the ridge with the remnants of the angry wind that was lingering in the corner of the tide, and he came step by step, and now he is almost in the same situation as the momentum of the Great General's Mansion.

Therefore, Yang Shigu became more and more convinced and determined, and did his best to bridge and maintain between the two sides that have now diverged, as the unanimous pace and interests of the righteous army.

"Seeing this great situation and grand occasion under the virtual brothers, I still want to ask?"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but open his heart and asked:

"I don't know, what do Brother Xu's thoughts and feelings do you have for the current situation of the Yellow King and the military government?"

"Master Yang, I just saw that you gave me a problem, how can I directly ask someone to deal with the disadvantages of the times?"

Zhou Huai'an smiled bitterly on the surface, and couldn't help but praise it in his heart. After deliberately going around in circles outside the city to show you so much fiction and reality, this is what I was waiting for.

"I'm really confused by the authorities, and I see the situation here in Xu Xiong, so I sincerely ask for advice or two, and I hope to say what is right." Yang Shigu was sincere on his face, but he became more and more firm in his heart.

"Well, it can only be said that the fire is cooking oil, the flowers are brocade, and the survival is just dying."

Zhou Huai'an seemed to be reluctant to think for a moment before exhaling and sighing.

Hearing this, Yang Shigu's face couldn't help but change slightly, and then he covered it up, but it caused a lot of ups and downs in his heart; According to the meaning of what the other party said, it hit the hidden worry that he had been unable to explain all along.

"Lao Yang, believe it or not, I am the one who most hopes for the great cause of the righteous army and can see the day of success."

Zhou Huai'an continued to emphasize in his heart.

"But with the death of the old brothers who had not changed their original intentions; There are too many people mixed around the Yellow King, all kinds of variegated people with different thoughts or their own thoughts. Now, I am afraid that the purpose, direction, and purpose of the rebels have become less pure, and they are becoming more and more chaotic. ”

"What is the difference between the actions and deeds of many of them and those official dogs and bullies that the rebels wanted to kill and wipe out in the first place?" Speaking of this, Zhou Huai'an couldn't help but sigh heavily.

"I'll tell you the truth, since the Yellow King's victory over the Huainan Army, under the rule of other rebels in nearby places, more and more people have fled. It is rumored in their mouths that some of the rebels are wreaking havoc, but they are several times or more than ten times more than the official army. ”

"Every time he is humiliated by his humble background, he occupies luxury houses and beautiful land when he gains a little power, bullies and forcibly occupies women, and pokes his husband's father, brother's family at every turn, and wantonly invades people's homes for pleasure. However, it is said that the Yellow King was rewarded for his merits. ”

"I've heard a little about these situations, and that's what I want to do my best to correct."

Hearing this, Yang Shigu couldn't help but feel hot, and forcibly twisted his sparse beard against his will.

"It's just that I asked Brother Xu, how did your ministry make the other party's military and civilians work together in peace."

"Well, it's a long story, and it involves a series of matters related to the production of goods, the raising of the people and the gathering of soldiers, and the sufficient food in the fields."

Zhou Huaian sighed in his heart, this is where the real drama lies; As long as you can be interested, isn't this just the beginning of my career?

"Although it is said that the days are long, I can't help but ask for a false brother with a cheeky face, but to solve my doubts face to face."

Yang Shigu said without hesitation.

"Then let's talk about it briefly."

Then, this "simple" talk talked about the darkening of the sky, which still made Yang Shigu still insufficient; Then, after having dinner, when he continued to discuss Dao Yue Shangtian, Yang Shigu, who was still holding a stomach full of questions and thoughts, was able to sleep peacefully.

However, after a night of tossing and turning with a lot of thoughts. When he turned around the next day to have a symbolic sexual intercourse with Liu Tang, who couldn't wait to leave, the other party turned around and left behind a sentence of unpredictable yin and yang, but Yang Shigu's mood and enthusiasm were wiped out at once.

"Yang Junshi is really with the virtual monk, like-minded and happy, and he is about to be happy."

At this moment, Yang Shigu remembered that although he still had the name of a military advisor, he was no longer the only person who obeyed Huang Wangyan's words, and the situation of being assigned to negotiate this time was just a disguised out-of-sight out-of-sight.

However, the desperate desire to clear up his doubts made him forget that he needed to avoid suspicion and details.

。。。。。。

Raozhou, refurbished within the government,

"But I didn't expect that you were also here to persuade me. The title and position of power given by an old dynasty are so moving. ”

Huang Chao looked at the person in front of him with a blank face.

"It's true that everyone has changed their ways to take turns to lobby. Or have you forgotten the hatred of your family in your early years? ”

"I don't dare to forget the blood feud at the door, in the past, my wife and children, parents and sisters died tragically on the pile, I still often dream and wake up repeatedly. Although there is no explanation, the silent words are all blaming me for not avenging them. ”

Li Junru, the left army division of the General's Mansion and the marching commander, and the inspection envoy of the righteous army, was also talking bitterly to Huang Chao.

"But it is precisely because of this that I have to be scolded with a thick face for forgetting my roots and having no conscience, and come over to say something heartfelt to the Yellow King."

He said with some fatigue and helplessness.

"Although we have won this situation now, it is also at stake that hurts the bones. Many of the old brothers who have followed the film for many years say that if it's gone, it's gone.,The rest of the people are also all kinds of thoughts.。。 ”

"Yes, I think what the military government needs most at the moment is a reason and name that can be used to cheer up everyone's hearts."

"Of course I hate the imperial court, and I can't wait to drink the blood and eat the flesh of those who have brutalized the villagers in the past, but I have to take into account the current situation of the rebels."

"As long as you can let Huang Wang's subordinates ease their strength as soon as possible, even if they give up my old face and press my blood debt full of more than a dozen mouths, what should I do?"

"So let's let the thieves and dogs on the court side be free and at ease for a while,,。。 Sooner or later, they will have to settle their old accounts with the new ones; At the moment, the reason for the time being is to let the rebels go further in the future and be able to better take revenge and settle accounts. ”

As the first to follow the Salt Gang led by the Huang family as a tent office, and the only remaining veteran of the Righteous Army; For the imperial court, it can be said that the bitterness and hatred of the whole family are deep. But even if he expressed his approval of this important matter, Huang Chao couldn't be indifferent and a little moved.

"Let me think about it again."

When Li Junru came out and walked outside the mansion, he bumped into a person head-on.

"What is the state of the king?"

But it was Cui Miao, the military courtesy envoy and an official who came over and took the initiative to inquire in detail.

"I've already got some motivation and plans, but I still need others to work harder and burn a few more fires."

Li Junru said with a slight expression on his face.

"As long as those people led by Yang Shigu and others stop being irritable and making trouble in front of them, this matter will basically not be turned upside down."

Cui Mian said in a wide voice that didn't care.

However, hearing this somewhat damaging sentence, Li Junru's face couldn't help but sink and became a little complicated. Because in this series of calculations against the other party, there is also a part of his strength.

Although Li Junru is still the Li Junru who was bent on avenging the family of Manmen; But now as a high-ranking and powerful Zuo Junshi of the Righteous Army, after all, he is already a completely different person from the broken school teacher who was full of resentment and unwillingness to the world.

Especially during the long journey of the rebel army, he enjoyed the taste of true glory and wealth; also took in several beautiful girls who were born in rich families and official eunuchs, rebuilt the family and had children, and could continue the bloodline and surname; Inevitably, there was a slight deflection in his thoughts.

Even under the general premise of assisting the Yellow King to succeed in his grand cause; It has become inevitable to follow the crowd to seek more benefits and benefits for yourself, and even plan more for your future generations

Therefore, when this time, the court's Zhao'an, which was priced at the price of high-ranking officials Houlu, was placed in front of the Yellow King; Inevitably, these various stakeholders have all kinds of ideas and other thoughts.

For example, according to the detailed conditions prescribed by the imperial court, as one of the right and left hands of the Yellow King, he can at least get the Taizhong doctor or the ranger general who is the fifth grade, and he is actually a transfer judge or an envoy of the salt and iron patrol court, and even becomes an important party to the training envoy of the capital of the town.

"That's the end of it."

Despite this, Li Junru still faced Cui Miao with a straight face, and said coldly:

"I've never been the same as you, and I won't be the same."

"I think I understand."

Cui Miao smiled disapprerovingly, as one of the important subordinates of the Yellow King who is interested in overturning the world; If you have nothing to do with each other, it is quite a taboo thing.

"It's just for everyone's retreat and thinking about the future. Even if it is a setback in the future, you can follow the story of Heshuo and let your children and dependents return. ”

。。。。。。。

When the news came out that the imperial court began to send Zhao'an thieves. Zheng Jin, who had just settled down in Luoyang and had been waiting for the imperial court to summon the decree for a long time without beginning to be disappointed, was very disillusioned at the banquet that was specially entertained:

"How can the imperial court act like this, since ancient times, there have been people who kill three soldiers with two peaches, and there are also people who lure wolves with thick bait; But they have never cut their own flesh to feed the tigers, and they have been fighting against each other."

"I'm afraid that after that, the thieves will become more arrogant and domineering, and the towns will become more and more contemptuous and underestimate the court."
