Chapter 535: Corps
Du Jincian is now riding in a well-maintained single-wheeled carriage, although it is a little old, but the axle has just been oiled, and the whole car has been washed again, these two strange women who are famous in the land of Lianghuai are now sitting in the car, and half of the curtain is lifted to look at the February spring in the south of the Yangtze River.
This is the brightest season, fortunately yesterday it rained overnight, the spring in February made the willows by the river a little more green, and what made Du Jincia even more happy was this flat avenue, which was only repaired last year, with gravel, slag and cinder to make it smooth, and the carriage walked on it was also unexpectedly smooth.
As long as you see the railway construction site that is in full swing a few hundred meters away, you can know why the villages and towns along the line are willing to put so much effort into building such a high-standard road along the railway line, but Du Jinchan didn't think about it so much at all, she just said to Liu Sanniang: "When will we have such a big road in Pheasant River Collection!"
Thinking of the road in her hometown where she stepped into the mud with half a foot in the rain, Liu Sanniang was a little unoptimistic, but she smiled and said: "This is just a matter of Your Majesty's words!"
Du Jincian said seriously: "For such trivial matters, now Your Majesty has handed them over to the cabinet, I am willing to blow the wind in my ears, and Your Majesty will not speak for this little thing." ”
Speaking of the cabinet that is gradually getting stronger now, Liu Sanniang just bit her lip: "Your Majesty also trusts Hu Linyi too much in such a subordinate, and now Hu Linyi is just a new subordinate, that's it, if it becomes a climate, it will be difficult to do......"
Du Jinchan could see it: "This is all something Your Majesty has to worry about, this time we will go back, but we want to appease the hearts of the people in Huaibei, I heard that Li Zhaoshou has some misdeeds!"
Liu Sanniang knows the inside story of this matter better than her: "Li Zhaoshou is not known to have a crowd of 10,000 people, when he was first cared for, he was originally used, but when he came to His Majesty, His Majesty and others were approved." is stuck in Li Zhaoshou alone, and he also approved a sentence: "This person cannot be reused", and there was no place to arrange it when it was finally arranged. ”
Now in addition to two cavalry regiments, three infantry regiments and four independent infantry battalions in Huaibei, most of them are either dismissed on the spot or used as the Tuntian army, and several years of the Twist Army war wiped out a large number of people, so the rest of the twist was organized into a special nature of the "Huanghuai Construction Corps".
What kind of situation is this "Huanghuai Construction Corps" and what level is it? Except for Liu Chang himself and a few top leaders, the rest did not find out, only that this "Huanghuai Construction Corps" was surprisingly large, with a total of 14 regiments and five independent battalions, which were scattered throughout Huaibei and the newly formed Yellow Flood Area.
And the number one person in this "Huanghuai Construction Corps" is Du Jinchan, who stays in Hangzhou all the year round. In addition, Liu Sanniang can also be half a family, and now Liu Sanniang looks at the spring breeze blowing outside the car, and her mood is also rippling: "Jin Cicada, you have to fight for your stomach well, this time when you are leaving, Your Majesty has galloped in your body several times, and you have to bear fruit, right?" Even if it's a princess!"
"Three ladies!" Du Jincian said angrily: "Your Majesty is on you, how can you save your strength, and you pity us for going back this time." It will take at least a few months, so I deliberately parted for a while, but whether this will be successful or not, how can I decide it myself!"
It's just that when she thought of that ridiculous time, her face was already red, and suddenly she heard a horse running, and the knight on the horse stopped the horse: "Du Niangniang, do you want to take a break!"
"Don't rest, you can get on the paddle steamer directly when you get to Huzhou!" Du Jin Chan is very taboo about contact with men outside. You must know that it will take at least half a year for her to leave the palace this time. The most feared thing is that there are rumors: "You help me pay attention!"
In addition to a guard platoon transferred from the Zhejiang Provincial Military Region, there was also a guard squad composed of Guangxi female soldiers of the Taiping Army who escorted her and Liu Sanniang out of the palace this time. They were crowded in the carriage in front of and behind, and there were two who knew how to ride and simply stared at both sides of the carriage, but they could bear the responsibility of monitoring her and Liu Sanniang, these women used to be fanatical believers in the worship of God, acting as rattan soldiers and fighting with the Qing army in person, and now they have become the female internal guards of the Xia Kingdom, they will not give up their attempts to spy on Du Jin and Liu Sanniang at any time, Du Jinchan feels that she does not even have a little privacy.
But she also knew that this was her own path, and since she sacrificed that sword, she had no turning back.
Now the short sword that was once used to protect her chastity is hanging on her waist, but now this one-zhang long short sword has a special significance, which is the highest symbol of hundreds of thousands or even millions of old twisted troops in Huaibei and their military families and township parties.
Du Jinchan glanced at this magical short sword with her eyes, and Liu Sanniang giggled, she knew that this short sword had other uses: "Miss him?" ”
"Don't want to go back!"
Jiangnan is good, Jiangnan music, even in the deep palace, she is willing to stay in Jiangnan, and she is unwilling to return to Pheasant River Collection, which represents many of the past that has been broken: "I don't understand, how can Li Zhaoshou cause such a big wave!"
Li Zhaoshou is not a big twist head in Huaibei, he is the twist head of the border area between Anhui and Henan, born in poverty, history has both the history of uncovering the pole and the historical problem of descending the Qing Dynasty, but overall, the twist he led is not particularly many, and in the last round of adaptation, since Liu Chang personally approved a "this person cannot be reused", whether it is Feng Sixian or others, they dare not reuse this Li Zhaoshou, and only arranged a deputy battalion commander afterwards.
However, Li Zhaoshou felt that a battalion commander of a regular army could not accept it, let alone the existence of the "Huanghuai Construction Corps", which was both a soldier and a civilian, so he directly took more than 100 cronies and left, and there were several fires with the Twist Army that accepted the reorganization.
But Du Jinchan's understanding of Li Zhaoshou is limited to this, she doesn't understand, why did Liu Chang let her and Liu Sanniang go back to Huaibei with great fanfare?
Liu Sanniang's activity ability is much stronger than Du Jinchan, and she quickly said the matter: "A Li Zhaoshou is only a thousand children and 800 people around him, but recently the intelligence department has obtained some information, and we are about to engage the Russians, but some people are uneasy and ready to come out and make trouble!"
"Old twister?" Du Jinchan already understood: "Who is it?" ”
Except for the more elite troops after a few months of reorganization, after being transferred to the Henan battlefield, most of the rest of the old twist army were dismissed on the spot, or more than 10,000 of its more elite people were organized into the "Huanghuai Construction Corps", but only 200,000 or 300,000 twisters were retained in a mere 10,000 people and their families, and naturally there were many disputes and many frustrations in the reorganization.
"I don't know!" Liu Sanniang replied: "But if there is no connivance from some people, how can Li Zhaoshou be active until now?" ”
"Hmm!" Du Jinchan has already understood: "Then after we arrive in Hefei, everything will be up to Feng Sixian, and we will do whatever he tells us to do......"
"I'm afraid that except for our twisters, all cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods will jump out!" Liu Sanniang said from the bottom of her heart, although Huaibei was a mess due to a few years of twisting and chaos, but there is her old team near Fengyang, when she was adapted last time, she used all means to make her own team into a half group, other teams can be trusted, this team can be trusted.
What's more, what can happen if all the old twisters of the two Huai are reversed, Zhang Lexing had no way to take the Hongjun with two or three hundred thousand twists, not to mention the remnants of the twisted army that are now hurting their muscles and bones, not to mention, according to Liu Sanniang's understanding, there is no problem with the Huanghuai Construction Corps, the most important unit in the old twist army.
Du Jinchan also understood: "San Niangzi, do you mean outside Huaibei?" ”
"That's right...... The Russians are also very attentive!" Liu Sanniang said: "I heard that a Qing Demon General recently ran to join them, and they also sent many people south!"
Henan, Shandong, and Hebei are all the areas where traditional Chinese secret societies are most prevalent, and the Boxers flooded in Shandong and Hebei in the future, naturally there is a social basis, and now although the Hongjun has roughly pacified these areas, there is an undercurrent lurking.
At the beginning of any dynasty in China, these underground sects took the opportunity to make waves and set off countless waves, not to mention the most legendary Bagua Sect system in North China, which was the focus of the Qing government's crackdown on the Qing Dynasty throughout the Qing Dynasty, and also set off several large-scale popular uprisings many times, such as the Wang Lun Qingshui Sect uprising in Shandong and the Tianli Sect uprising in Jiaqing in the eighteenth year, all of which are variants of this Bagua Sect.
Du Jinchan also understood when Liu Sanniang said this: "Well, when we arrive in Hefei, everything will be up to Feng Sixian and Feng Overseer." ”
Although she is in Hangzhou, but the situation of the old department of the Twist Army is well understood, and now the whole twist has been completely divided, although the chaos is determined, there are still many places in Huaibei that are signs of chaos, but after a long war, no matter how much Li Zhaoshou preaches, he may not be able to afford how many old troops of the Twist Army.
As long as you go to Huaibei, say a few good words casually, and then fight for the interests of the old army of the Twist Army, presumably everything will not be a problem.
This kind of thinking continued until the time outside Hefei, and she was still thinking about how to fight for the interests of the old twister, at least the tens of thousands of orphans formed by the war, Feng Sixian had to take care of it, right?
It's just that he didn't wait for the boat to get steady, and Feng Sixian over there had already run over with a murderous aura: "Du Niangniang, Liu Niangniang, I've been waiting for you to come, Li Zhaoshou and Miao Peilin are opposed!"
