Chapter 352 Passing through Jiangxi

"Brigadier Huo?" Shi Tinglan and Yang Changmei didn't want to tame Liu Chang to suddenly mention this issue, here Shi Tinglan has already said: "How is Brigade Commander Huo, presumably Ah Chang has been with us longer than us and knows more, so you have to ask me!"

Shi Tinglan continued: "What's more, the team that led the team in northern Fujian, one is Qu Zhibin, and the other is Shi Yunqing, which are not considered the basic team of inspection, and now with Brigade Commander Huo, why do you hesitate!"

Liu Chang immediately said: "Shi Yunqing is just an idle man, he is at most a pawn who crosses the river, and no matter how much he tosses, he can't toss anything, but the Nanxi Brigade is different, this is my car and horse artillery!" ”

He used chess to make a very vivid analogy, and Shi Tinglan also said: "Ah Chang, you are upset, but I don't understand, my brother and Zhang Suimou gave you the territory of five counties, why do you want to send the Nanxi Brigade out, don't you trust my brother?" ”

Liu Chang already had a plan in his heart, and he said: "I have no doubts about the Wing King's brightness, but the problem is not the Wing King, but the Xiang Army and Zeng Disheng. ”

In this situation, the Hong Army has won most of Zhejiang and a small part of Fujian, which is enough to have the qualification to win the world, and for the Hong Army, the most vicious enemy army at the moment is the Hunan Army that has always been lurking in Hunan and Hubei.

The Hunan army now has three territories in Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi, and has repeatedly hit the Taiping army, especially with such a complete base area as Hunan, it can be said that it can be attacked and retreated.

According to the history known to Liu Chang, in another time and space, Shi Dakai led the main force to leave Jiangxi in March 1856, and the Hunan army took the opportunity to counterattack, coupled with the dispersion of the people after the Tianjing Incident, which made the Hunan army repeatedly successful, and finally the Hunan army conquered Jiujiang, giving the Taiping army a decisive blow in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River.

And now Liu Chang must make arrangements in advance, but now that the Nanxi Brigade is sent to Jiangxi, I am afraid that there are many things that the troops do not understand, and even Shi Tinglan has such doubts, does Liu Chang want to target Shi Dakai.

You must know that the result of the negotiation between Liu Chang and Zhang Sui this time was that the Taiping army gave up the five county towns on the border of Zhejiang and Jiangxi, and each county town was discounted by 40,000 yuan of silver, which was deducted from the arms provided by Liu Chang to Yiwang.

For both sides, this is mutually beneficial, 200,000 silver yuan can buy five county seats, this is the most cost-effective deal in the world, and the rainbow army can use this to keep the enemy out of the country.

For the Yiwang troops, although they are known as hundreds of thousands, the actual strength is only tens of thousands, so many troops want to control the entire Jiangxi, it is more than enough and not enough, so it is also very cost-effective to hand over some remote and difficult county towns to Liu Chang in exchange for a large number of arms supplies.

But Liu Chang sent the Nanxi Brigade to guard these five county seats, which is a bit exaggerated, you know, the Nanxi Brigade can be said to be one of the three ace brigades of the entire Hong Army, and this time the Yan Tear Battle is the first achievement, so that he has nothing to do to engage in public security warfare, which seems to be a big waste.

But in the face of Shi Tinglan's suspicions, Liu Chang couldn't tell the truth, he just said: "Xiangjun and Zeng Disheng, although they were temporarily frustrated by the Wing King, they have always been the biggest enemy of the Heavenly Kingdom, and they are also the biggest opponents of my Hongjun, I sent Huo Qiu over."

It is to contain the Hunan army and facilitate the main force of our army to attack Hangjiahu Suchang ......"

Just mentioning these places, Liu Chang couldn't help but hesitate: "Hey...... The key is still Shanghai! ”

That's right, Li Xiucheng of the Taiping Army, such a huge military group, was destroyed in the attack on Shanghai, which finally led to the engagement with the foreign soldiers, and led to the foreigners supporting the Huai Army, a new military group. …,

Therefore, Liu Chang could only say: "I let the Nanxi Brigade go to Jiangxi, and I have no selfish thoughts, but you should check it for me!" ”

Yang Changmei said: "Ah Chang, Tinglan and I believe in you, your calculations have never been missed, you have to beware of the demon head of Zeng Guofan, but let me say a word, if you can't even trust Brigade Commander Huo, can you still trust others?" ”

As soon as he said this, Liu Chang suddenly had a clear thought: "That's right, let Huo Qiu prepare to go to Jiangxi!" ”

As she was talking, Zhou Xiuying was already rushing over outside, and she was still holding a new letter in her hand: "Check, a letter from Hangzhou." ”

Liu Chang opened the letter and looked at it twice, but he was much relieved, but he said to Shi Tinglan and Yang Changmei: "The monk king and Shengbao have withdrawn north to attack Tianjing, and the battle situation in Tianjing is tight......

For the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, this was bad news, but for Liu Chang, it was really good news.

"Nanxi Tuan!"

"Knife Ball!"

The regimental flags of the two infantry regiments were unfurled, followed by thousands of officers and soldiers shouting, hugging, and cheering at each other, and everyone affectionately recited each other's names, and then said loudly: "It's good to be back!" It's good to be back! ”

Huo Qiu said very excitedly: "Now Nanxi Shuangyun, it's finally all together!" ”

Lu Ziyun also said with a smile: "When our Niudao Battalion went to other states, there was only one battalion, and when we came back, it was already a reinforced regiment. ”

Yun Tianzong clenched Lu Ziyun's hand: "By the way, although you have expanded into an infantry regiment, you have missed several wonderful battles, this time to go to Jiangxi is a great opportunity, don't miss it!" ”

"To Jiangxi?" Lu Ziyun immediately said a little distracted: "Let me go to Jiangxi with Nanxi Brigade?" Isn't that the territory of friendly forces? ”

Huo Qiu had already gotten the exact news from Liu Chang: "That's right, I'm here to assist friendly forces in combat, but now I'll take over Wuzhuang County first!" ”

"Five county seats?" Lu Ziyun said with a smile: "Check that this is really a knife to kill chickens, and the five county towns actually want to work our entire Nanxi Brigade, don't you want the Dragon Lance Brigade to enter Hangjia north and be in the limelight, right?" ”

Huo Qiu had seen Liu Chang perform miracles, and he had an extreme or even excessive trust in Liu Chang: "No, no, no, this time I will hand over the most difficult task to my Nanxi Brigade, and I won't be able to ask the Dragon Lance Brigade to cooperate with me in the main attack when the time comes." ”

"But if I look over, it's all friendly territory, and it's not our turn to fight any big battles!" Lu Ziyun immediately analyzed: "Do you want to start a war with the Wing King Shi Da, but the inspection point is his brother-in-law, I just formed an alliance!" ”

"The inspection said, there must be changes in Jiangxi recently, if the Yiwang leaves Jiangxi, the war situation in Jiangxi will inevitably be reversed, and we will have a place to help."

Huo Qiu lowered his voice, and he said mysteriously: "What I want for this inspection is not the five counties of Jiangxi, but the whole province of Jiangxi, and he has promised me that as soon as the battle situation changes, the position of the overseer of Jiangxi will be taken by me." ”

"Overseers?" Lu Ziyun had already understood, Liu Chang seemed to have played an idle chess move, and put the entire Second Brigade on the Zhejiang-Jiangxi border with nothing to do, but in fact, it was an extremely grand layout, and he wanted to include the entire Jiangxi Province in his territory, so he asked: "What kind of position is the Overseer?" ”

So far, Liu Chang has only taken most of Zhejiang, so he is directly in command of all provinces and counties, and does not need provincial-level political and military organs, but if he wants to pass through Jiangxi, he must set up new provincial-level political and military organs in Jiangxi Province.

..., Huo Qiu's face was full of flowers: "It is equivalent to today's governor of Jiangxi, he has already made the seal letter, just waiting for the situation to change, in addition, after we enter Jiangxi, we can expand one more independent regiment and two independent battalions to maintain the place." ”

On the territory of just five counties, a whole ace brigade was placed to strengthen an independent regiment and two independent battalions, Liu Chang's plan was not small, Lu Ziyun immediately said: "Then brigade commander, you are the overseer, aren't we going to be the commander?" ”

Huo Qiu smiled and said, "In addition to the fact that I am going to be the overseer of Jiangxi, the position of Jiangxi Governor has been handed over to Shi Jingfen, have you heard of him?" Are we going to have a good relationship with him in the future? ”

Shi Jingfen is the former Qing Dynasty Jinhua prefect, in desperation to surrender the rainbow army, and later transferred to the Wenzhou prefect, although from the dragon is late, and is forced by the situation, but Shi Jingfen is quite talented, and is a native of Jingdezhen, Jiangxi, so Liu Chang used him as the governor of Jiangxi.

"He is in charge of civil affairs? Jiangxi political envoy who is equivalent to a Qing demon? Lu Ziyun immediately asked: "This person is not easy to get along with, but he is also a famous minister, and he is from Jiangxi, and he is the right person to use him as the governor of Jiangxi!" ”

In any dynasty and generation, it is impossible for one person to unify the party alone, Liu Chang used Shi Jingfen as the governor of Jiangxi, not only to contain Huo Qiu, but also to use his Jiangxi identity to pass through Jiangxi.

"It's not easy to get along!" Huo Qiu said: "I asked the people over there in Wenzhou Mansion, and they all said that Shi Jingfen is stinky and hard, and he has no self-knowledge of surrendering to his subordinates, but this time he has to help him when he passes through Jiangxi." ”

Shi Jingfen is a native of Jiangxi, and his friends are all over Jiangxi, he ascended to the heights and shouted, naturally there were unpleasant friends who came to defect, Huo Qiu continued: "What's more, my status is between him, the second brigade is an old army, he is a subordinate who has been from the dragon for only half a year, and he doesn't have much weight in front of the inspection, I am looking for Ziyun now, I want to ask, how should we help the friendly army fight!" ”

The friendly army is the Wing King Taiping Army, before the military pressure of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is lifted, although they will have such and such contradictions, but they will always be allies who cooperate with each other, not to mention that the Wing King Shi Dakai and Liu Chang are still a family, and the relationship is even closer.

However, Lu Ziyun's idea was different: "Then this matter is not in a hurry, it is better to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and when the two tigers fight each other and both are defeated, we will come out to clean up the mess, but in that case, we will not fight for a few months!" ”

"That's not good!" Yun Tianzong interjected and said: "In that case, maybe the Dragon Lance Brigade has already captured Hangjiahu, and I haven't done anything at the Zhejiang-Jiangxi border." ”。 ）
