He recognized Feng Wenyi, the second grandson of the Feng family, at a glance.

He can't help but recognize it!

Although Feng Wenyi's matter was secretive, now Duan Guangqing already knew in his heart that the reason why Zhang Sigui's Baoshun wheel was thrown to the red thief was because of this Feng Wenyi and Feng Ershao's black hand behind his back.

He said angrily: "Feng Ersao, your Cixi Feng family is also a famous family in Mingzhou for more than a thousand years, and its reputation has never fallen, why are you a thief?" ”

"Who said I was a thief!" Feng Wenyi laughed loudly: "I and the red thief, I and Liu Juehu swear not to stand together!" ”

Duan Guangqing felt and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Mirror Lake Old Daotai!" Feng Wenyi shouted affectionately: "You are also a rare good official in our Ningbo Mansion in the past hundred years, but you are limited by the bad rules of officialdom and cannot display your ambitions, and now you have such an opportunity ......!" ”

"I'm going to Dinghai Hall!" Duan Guangqing said hatefully: "I am a big picker, and I have to be blessed by the first emperor Long's grace to be able to know the county and make up for Zhejiang, step by step, and I have achieved Ningshaotai Daotai." ”

The big pick is a unique system of selecting talents in the Qing Dynasty, which is roughly the lifting of people who are not in three consecutive subjects, and have the opportunity to participate in the big pick, as long as they are handsome and are liked by the big people above, the first class can be supplemented by the county, and the second class is the second class is the candidate for the school.

This is roughly an alternative way to promotion, the key is to be handsome, pleasing to the eye, and the above likes but can also promote some students who have repeatedly failed the exam, and even some talents, Duan Guangqing is a typical example.

It's just that Feng Wenyi smiled: "Then I won't send it, but this Fucheng will not be surnamed Liu!" ”

"What's that last name?" Duan Guangqing immediately asked viciously, "Could it be that the surname is Feng Cheng?" ”

It is no wonder that he has such a deep hatred for Feng Wenyi, it is really the first mistake in his life to purchase the Baoshun ship, he borrowed 110,000 taels from the treasury of the government and handed it over to the Ningbo North merchant to purchase such a foreign steamer, originally wanted to use this Baoshun ship to clear the north and south oceans, so that the matter of Caomi shipping has an eyebrow.

But he didn't expect that as soon as this Baoshun ship formed its combat effectiveness, it had already defected to the side of the red thief Ye Niangzi, and also annihilated half of Buxing Youguangyong, who relied on him as the Great Wall.

The result is that Ningbo Mansion has no soldiers, no bravery, no military salaries, no food and grass, and it can't be garrisoned at all, in this case, Duan Guangqing can only decide to retreat to Dinghai Hall to wait and see, after all, there is still Guangyong there.

If that Baoshun ship was still in Duan Guangqing's hands, why bother with the situation that no one even answered the fundraising until now, when he thought of this, Duan Guangqing was full of hatred

But Feng Wenyi's answer surprised him: "That's right, this Fucheng is surnamed Feng!" ”

"What's going on?" Duan Guangqing immediately shouted: "Could it be that Liu Jiehu will give this mansion city to you!" ”

"That's right! The benefits of Ningbo's commerce and trade are all in transit, how can you not understand this truth! Feng Wenyi laughed: "Therefore, he has already agreed with the British that the Hong Army will not enter the capital city, and the port of Ningbo will remain neutral!" ”

"The Qing Dynasty will not agree! What neutrality, it's all a lie! Duan Guangqing was a little angry: "The Qing Dynasty will not agree!" ”

Feng Wenyi smiled: "The Qing Dynasty will agree, I am the hero of the Qing Dynasty, as long as the British support, everything will be easy to do, don't send it, Duan Daotai!" ”

Now Duan Guangqing wants to stay, since the foreigners and red thieves are doing anything neutral in Ningbo, he will have a lot to do in the name of Daotai, but now Feng Wenyi refuses to let him stay: "Duan Daotai wants to take refuge in Dinghai Hall, send him away as soon as possible!" ”

Now Feng Wenyi is already the most powerful figure in the entire Fucheng, as soon as he said this, the boatman did not dare to stop, so he could only persuade Duan Guangqing: "Daotai, let's go to Dinghai!" ..., but after sending Duan Guangqing away, Feng Wenyi didn't have any joy of victory, he just asked: "The neutral plan of the British is too far from the bottom line between us and the inspection, right?" ”

The neutrality plan of the British consul, it is not a matter of being too far from the bottom line, but a matter of asking Liu Chang to surrender immediately and unconditionally. ”

Feng Wenyi was very interested in the underworld's suggestion: "How do you say this? ”

"Now even the banner of the Qing Dynasty is still hanging in the city, how can the eldest young master come out to preside over the situation and let the inspection come in and clean it up, and then the eldest young master can lead the volunteers to drive the thieves out of the city!"

"Great idea!" Feng Wenyi knew that this was a play, but there were also high and low plays, there were too many people like Duan Guangqing in Ningbo Mansion who were not interested, and there were too many relics of the Qing Dynasty, so he should invite Liu Jiehu to come in and clean up: "How many days will the inspection come in?" ”

"One day, one day is enough, but we must let the dragon spear group come!"

That's right, the Dragon Lance Regiment is the best infantry regiment of the entire Rainbow Army, and only when they come forward can they form a sufficient deterrent to the British.

"It's hot!" Shi Tinglan's voice was very beautiful: Ah Chang, when will this autumn tiger pass! ”

Liu Chang finally got together with Shi Tinglan and Yang Changmei, so he leaned back on the recliner very freely: "Come on, I like this autumn!" ”

Yang Changmei also smiled: "Yes, this autumn is so good!" The wealth is abundant, and we now have hundreds of thousands of taels more in our accounts, and it would be good if our heavenly kingdom could understand it earlier! ”

The biggest strategic mistake of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was indeed its refusal to develop in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the result was that the entire Taiping army's army was limited to a size of about 100,000 or even less because of its financial limitations, and the number of troops invested in a battlefield was even more limited, even in Qing historical materials, it was only tens of thousands of people, and it was surrounded by superior Qing troops on all fronts, and it had to repeatedly use the tactic of sacrificing individual battlefields to concentrate troops.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom set the capital of Tianjing is a matter of Xianfeng for three years, and the development of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is a matter of Xianfeng ten years later, but it is too late, although Jiangsu and Zhejiang provide enough financial resources and human resources, but the Taiping army at this time almost completely depends on the people, in addition to using the financial resources of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to buy a large number of foreign guns and cannons, there is only one by the descendants of the marvel of the palace, whether it is Jinhua's palace of the king, or Suzhou's Zhongwangfu, or Jiaxing's palace, or other palaces, They are all the extravagant officials in the officialdom who are amazed.

And their performance on the battlefield is typical of Zuo Zongtang's entry into Zhejiang, the Chu army in his hands at that time was only 7,000, plus several allied armies in all aspects, the total strength is 20,000, but the troops of Li Shixian's troops in western Zhejiang alone reached 200,000.

But the performance on the battlefield was that Li Shixian's 200,000 troops were defeated and retreated all the way by Zuo Zongtang's 7,000 troops, and it can be imagined that the combat effectiveness of the Taiping Army at that time was weak, and most of the Taiping troops in Jiangsu and Zhejiang at that time were such troops, even if Li Xiucheng concentrated the thirteen kings, he could not break through the defense line of the Hunan army on Yuhuatai.

Liu Chang immediately said: "If the Wing King and the East King are willing to come to my small temple, my brother-in-law will tear down the temple, and I will treat them well!" ”

Yang Changmei still has a lot of feelings for the kings of Tianjing: "Tianjing is not short of gold and silver, but there is just a shortage of food. ”

"I know!" Shi Tinglan immediately said: "The reason why I wanted to set the capital in Tianjing was because I listened to the words of an old Hunan sailor. This was the first major dispute between the King of Heaven and the King of the East after entering Tianjing, when the King of Heaven meant to abandon Nanjing, and the whole army continued to march north to Dingdu, Henan.

However, the king of the east saw that the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Taiping army were going down the river, completely relying on the maneuver of the sailors, so he wanted to set the capital of Tianjing, and at this time, an old sailor from Daozhou, Hunan Province put forward his views to the king of the east, which completely changed the direction of the entire Chinese history.

He said to the king of the east: "The river in Henan is small and there is no food, and the enemy cannot be rescued. Now that you have the south of the Yangtze River, there is the danger of the Yangtze River, and there are thousands of boats, so why go to Henan. Nanjing is the home of the emperor, the city is high and the pond is deep, the people are rich and abundant, and the capital is not yet established, so why go to Henan? He said: "Although Henan is the land of Zhongzhou, it is full of stability and danger, but it is actually not as good as Jiangnan, please think about it from the king of the east!" ‘

Speaking from the heart, this old man in northern Shaanxi does have some truth, and it is indeed the way to lose the whole army to abandon Nanjing and take Henan in the north, but after the capital of Tianjing, Yang Xiuqing immediately sent troops to the Northern Expedition of 20,000 people of the Ninth Army, which can be called the elite of the Heavenly Kingdom, without waiting for the pacification of Tianjing, which is indeed the first major strategic mistake made by the Heavenly Kingdom.

You must know that at that time, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was only nominally only 95 armies, each army had a strength of 20,000 people, and the actual number was only 1,000 to 2,000 people, and the nine armies of the Northern Expedition were almost the oldest military leaders of the Taiping Army, almost all of them were composed of old brothers from Liangguang, but after this mistake, the king of the East still could not see the rich world of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and he never had the confidence to fight a decisive battle with the Qing army, and did not dare to enter Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and finally made a big mistake.

After analyzing the strategy of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Shi Tinglan immediately said: "Hey・・・・・・ my brother has always had the intention to enter Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but he lacks a little determination, and he keeps scheming, and he has a problem with me, if my brother comes over in the future, it is enough for you to remember this!" ”

She saw very clearly that Tianjing's current situation would sooner or later lead to civil strife, and with his brother's temperament, most of them would not be able to stay, and Yang Changmei was also a little worried: "I don't ask you to have more conscience, but we are husband and wife after all, you, as a brother-in-law, have a little conscience about your relatives!" I'm already your man, so I don't have to say anything more! ”

Liu Chang immediately promised: "Eldest sister, Tinglan, we are all a family!" The East King and the Wing King are also relatives of their own family, and I don't have much to say, so I'll just say two words..."

"You guessed right, two years after the Ming Dynasty in Tianjing, there will inevitably be a great change, and the ten days will be the same, after all, it will be inevitable that there will be a great disaster, and before that, I will never have any conflict with the kingdom of heaven."

Shi Tinglan immediately asked, "How can you be sure that there is a big change in Tianjing?" ”－
