As soon as he heard that Ye Niangzi was coming, Liu Chang couldn't help but feel happy: "The fifth lady is here, this rain is just in time!" ”

Everyone understood what he meant by "just in time", if it hadn't been for this rain, now the Rainbow Army would have been under Huangyan City, and it was such a heavy rain that the Rainbow Army temporarily suspended the combat operation.

Although in this spring rain, the Qing army's shotguns were the most affected, and the Hong army's firing pistols and mini rifles were basically used normally in the rain because they were detonator fires, but the flintlock pistols with the largest amount of equipment in the Hong army could not be used in the rain, and the heavy rain had too much impact on the infantry troops, so the attack on Huangyan County was stopped because of the spring rain that lasted for several days.

Next to him, Shi Huiji added: "Check, since Ye Niangzi is here, she is naturally talking about the entry of soldiers into Huangyan, but what should our independent battalion prepare to do in advance?" Do you want to send troops to Huangyan City to explore, if something like the previous incident in Taiping County happens again, it will inevitably be passive! ”

He was referring to the incident when the defenders of Taiping County suddenly increased to 2,500, but Liu Chang told him: "First clean up your own house, let's enter Huangyan City, and our own house can't catch fire!" ”

Shi Huiji is quite confident in cleaning up the local militia in Taiping: "Don't worry, we will immediately cooperate with Camp Chief Huo to take advantage of this rain to clean up Taiping County." ”

Next to him, Huo Qiu said: "This time the inspection is like a god, and the entire Chuzhou town is mobilized to clear our flanks." ”

"Our two battalions don't have to worry about flanking the attack and defense now, not only can they complete the task of clearing the demons in the territory, but also will definitely open the way to Huangyan County for the inspection point."

……

When Liu Chang saw Ye Niangzi, she was wearing the red power suit that Liu Chang liked very much. gave Liu Chang a salute: "Ye Niang has seen the inspection point, thank you for the gift sent in front of the inspection." ”

"It's just a few barrels of foreign gunpowder, the fifth lady doesn't have to be polite!"

It's just that Ye Niangzi stared at the two revolvers on Liu Chang's armed belt, and licked her lips lightly: "Then this time we will go hand in hand by land and water, and the inspection point will give me a few more gifts." ”

With the assistance of Ge Wu and Ye Niangzi, Liu Chang will receive much less military pressure this time, at least he will not care about the landing of the Qing army behind his own back, but he still pretended not to know and asked: "Is it a misunderstanding of the fifth lady." This time, our Hong army has just entered Xianju and Jinyun, and the damage is not small, and the whole army needs to rest for half a month, why do you want to go north now? ”

"Wait for half a month?" Ye Niangzi sat on the chair and smiled: "The inspection is really ruthless, and I refuse to tell Ye Niang the truth." Isn't this westward advance just to take Huangyan and Taizhou Fucheng, now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! ”

Oh, yes! The Qing army in Fujian was restrained by Qu Zhenhan, and the entire Chuzhou town was contained by Ni Tingmo, and now Liu Chang can attack the entire Taizhou without scruples, and the next thing Ye Niangzi said was one thing that Liu Chang didn't know: "I heard that the Qing demon is going to transfer troops from the Jiangnan battalion to reinforce Zhejiang, but now it has not been decided whether it is Xiang Rong or Zhang Guoliang." ”

Whether it is Xiang Rong or Zhang Guoliang, they are all famous generals in the world, but they are veterans of the war with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom since Guangxi. There are many elite soldiers and strong generals, and they are many times stronger than the green battalion in Zhejiang Province, and if they enter Zhejiang, then the military situation in the entire Zhejiang will change.

"It looks like it's ready to fly, and I have to send it!" Liu Chang replied to Ye Niangzi: "It's just that the fifth lady finally occupied Yuhuan Island, why don't you rest for a few days." ”

Ye Niangzi is now chatting with her family and talking about her own family affairs: "Check, I won't hide it from you, our fifth master also encountered some troubles at sea." ”

"How. Is it Huangyan or Dinghai? ”

Liu Chang thought that he was a green camp sailor on the sea, but Ye Niangzi told him: "It's a maritime veteran in Guangdong, the famous Bu Xingyou, he used to take care of our fifth master, and the fifth master can operate in the ocean of Zhejiang and Fujian, all of which have the care of Bu's predecessors." ”

As soon as Bu Xingyou was mentioned, Liu Chang understood. This Bu Xingyouke was a real Jiangyang pirate, and for many times after the Opium War, he roamed the coast of China, and even broke the Qing army's naval division many times, and the people of Zhejiang called the robber "green shell". It's because Buchen has a mighty green fleet under his command.

It's just that this big pirate has been recruited in the early years of Xianfeng, and he has become a member of the Ningbo Mansion and a sailor general after receiving a lot of money from the government. ..., Ye Niangzi continued: "Although the senior Bu took care of our fifth master in the past, but this time it was not very authentic, he sent a letter to our husband and wife, asking us to give up the coastal territory of Zhejiang and retreat to Fujian, and the old Bu senior left us a golden road of Zhao'an." ”

"Zhao'an?" Liu Chang couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, if Ge Wu and Ye Niangzi's fleet were recruited by the Qing army, then his back would be equivalent to being stabbed by someone, seeing that Ye Niangzi had been staring at the revolver on his armed belt, he immediately said: "Wu Niang, don't scare me, we are recruited and we have to join forces together, so that it seems to be huge, and the senior is ready to protect your fifth master with an official title?" Guerrilla? General soldiers? ”

"Zhao'an, Zhao'an!" Ye Niangzi said indignantly: "Our fifth master almost fell for him, and he was just about to send someone to Ningbo to ask carefully, but he found that Buxing had sent someone to dig the foot of the fifth master's wall, and now seven heads have been cut off on Yuhuan Island." ”

"What's the news from Ningbo Mansion?" Liu Chang asked again: "Fifth lady, my revolver is good, I'll give you one when I turn around, and I'll send it over with gunpowder." ”

"What's so embarrassing!" The fifth lady seemed to say very casually: "The fifth master sent someone to Ningbo Mansion, and it turned out that the sailor he promised was not lacking at all, and Bu Xingbu himself only got a six-grade top, how could it be possible to ensure that the fifth master was lacking?" He is recruiting our Guangdong fellows to prepare to go to sea to fight with the fifth master, and even said that the fifth master does not give him Buxing face, and he Buxing does not have to give the fifth master face, whoever takes the head of the fifth master will be rewarded with eight hundred taels of silver! ”

"The first striker, the last striker is controlled by others! That's it. Liu Chang immediately said: "Although he is a senior, but now he is famous and full of gold and silver, but he can't cut off the enterprising road of our juniors." ”

Ye Niangzi nodded and agreed with Liu Chang's point of view: "So I told the fifth master, how can I fight with the old-timers to see who has stronger skills, but they followed Qu Zhenhai to Fujian in the south and spent a lot of medicine to capture Yuhuan Island......"

"Good, good!" Liu Chang: "I'll take a few more barrels of gunpowder from the fifth master, but this time we really have to go hand in hand with land and water, we have taken Taiping County for so many days, and you can only do it, Wuniang." ”

"Then it's decided, let's do it together, the fifth master hasn't been to Zhoushan for many years, this time I revisit the old place, and I have a big harvest!"

Liu Chang didn't want to entangle the grievances between Ge Mengjin and Bu Xing, but Ge Wu and Bu Xing competed at sea, but it was conducive to him to capture the whole Taiwan: "I don't know when the fifth lady is going to do it?" ”

"When this rain stops, how about we do it together, rain or shine?"

Although Liu Chang fought a land battle, Huangyan Town and Dinghai Town on the coast of Zhejiang were all sailors, but since Liu Chang threatened the Huangyan Town garrison and the Taizhou capital, the water courage of these sailors may have to abandon the boat and go to land to fight with Liu Chang.

But Liu Chang has his own thoughts: "I ordered a batch of arms from His Excellency De Mons in February, and it has been two months since he returned to Shanghai, I estimate that the time will come, and he should be almost there, why don't we wait a few more days?" When the time comes, you can also give the fifth lady a few more barrels of foreign gunpowder? ”

"Foreign gunpowder? All right! Ye Niangzi said unconsciously: "It's best to make a pair of revolvers." ”

Liu Chang smiled lightly, there is not much entertainment in this time and space, and after staying for a few months, he only feels that there are many opportunities for the day, and the whole person is like a Foxconn worker on the assembly line, busy non-stop.

Being able to appreciate a beauty like Ye Niangzi that conforms to the aesthetic taste of modern people is one of the few entertainments in his life.

However, this time you can only send one revolver, and if you send a pair, it seems that next time it will be tasteless.

……

"Futai, do you think it is better to invite any adult from the Jiangnan camp to help Zhejiang now, is it Xiang Titai or Zhang Zhentai?"

The interrogation was Wang Youling, who was sentenced by the Hangzhou government, he was a character in He Guiqing's bag, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he voted for He Guiqing's favor.

Xiang Titai is Xiang Rong, born in the green camp, and his exploits in chasing and suppressing the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom are not counted, Zhang Zhentai is Zhang Guoliang, known as the "big head sheep" in the rivers and lakes, he is the remnant of the Ling Eighteen Rebel Army, and he also has a deep relationship with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but after the Qing Dynasty, he was the most terrible enemy of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

These two are the pillars of the Jiangnan camp, and the Qing army can keep this southeast half of the country, most of which is the merit of the two of them.

He Guiqing smiled bitterly, and shook his head again: "Xue Xuan, these two are the top pillars of the Jiangnan camp, although the red thief advocates rebellion in Wenjun, but compared to Changmao, the two of them will not be able to come in person!" ”

He Guiqing continued to analyze: "Xiang Titai uses more Sichuan people, the big sheep formation is full of Cantonese people, I don't know if you want to work with Sichuan people, or do you like Cantonese people?" ”

Wang Youling laughed: "Futai is interesting, Youling is a Fujian person, and his feelings must be closer to the big head, Futai is a Yunnan person, I'm afraid he is closer to Titai, but as long as he is a general, such as Qin Rulong, the situation in Zhejiang will definitely change." ”

It's just that He Guiqing's expression became a little more bitter: "It's just a general to the battalion, but when the Jiangnan battalion gallops to help Zhejiang, I don't know what the year of the monkey is, Xue Xuan, you plan well for me, how to deal with the adults of the ministry!"
