Jin Peilun had come to Tianjing once when he was planning the Red Turban Army uprising, and he had contact with many important figures in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, so as soon as he heard Li Shixian say this, he immediately replied: "It's okay, let's see what other plans King Hong has and invite this friend in!"

With Jin Peilun's order, he immediately invited the envoy sent from Tianjing City in, Li Shixian was right, this person was really their old acquaintance, and as soon as they met, he respectfully said: "Jin Peilun, let's meet again!"

"Luo Guozhong, it turned out to be you!"

Jin Peilun directly picked it out and said: "King Hong sent you, what is the purpose, just say it directly!" I don't have much time, I don't have time to listen to your nonsense!"

Luo Guozhong was the confidant of the Heavenly King, and he said with a smile: "Master Jin, don't you know that you are already in great trouble!"

"If you come as a lobbyist, just cut it!" Li Shixian next to him interjected and said: "Our net worth is on King Yan, and I don't have time to listen to your nonsense." ”

Although Luo Guozhong is a well-known and wise man in the kingdom of heaven, as soon as Li Shixian opened his mouth like this, he also knew that something was wrong, so he immediately said in a straight voice: "Master Jin, please retreat!"

Jin Peilun rejected him directly: "Sun Lixing just thought about it behind closed doors, I don't want to repeat Sun Lixing's mistake yet, what is the intention of the Heavenly King, just find out, otherwise I will cut off a human head." ”

Facing such a tough opponent, Luo Guozhong couldn't help but complain secretly, but he had to make his intention clear and said: "The King of Heaven sent me to comfort Commander Jin's elite division, as long as Commander Jin is unwilling to enter Jinling." The king of heaven is willing to offer 10,000 taels of gold and 200,000 taels of silver......"

Jin Peilun smiled: "Tianjing is really rich, as soon as he opens his mouth, it is hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, but Lao Tzu can drive the team over and grab it by himself." Don't bother the king!"

Luo Guozhong's face was ugly, he failed as a lobbyist, and he didn't make any progress at all in front of Jin Peilun and Li Shixian, so he could only take out the killer weapon: "The King of Heaven is willing to crown Master Jin as the King of Qin, as long as Master Jin is willing to resolutely revolt and stand on the side of Heaven!"

As soon as he said this, Jin Peilun had already jumped up: "The King of Heaven is so scheming, a mere King of Qin wants to pull over my more than 20,000 brothers." It's too cheap, isn't it?"

Next to him, Li Shixian had already pulled out the revolver he was carrying, put it directly on Luo Guozhong's neck, and asked loudly: "Luo Guozhong, let you talk less nonsense." You still say so much nonsense, I will ask you, will you follow me, follow Master Jin, and follow King Yan? That's all I have!"

Although Luo Guozhong is quite famous in Tianjing, he is a wise man. But he, like Li Shixian, did not have much firm confidence in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, seeing that the kingdom of heaven was about to collapse, and then seeing Li Shixian's revolver on his neck. Immediately said in a loud voice: "Yes, willing." Lao Li, we've been thinking of you for a long time!"

"That's a smart man!" Li Shixian laughed: "I just wanted to find someone who knows the inside story of Tianjing. I didn't expect Hong Xiuquan to send you back when he turned around, you tell us, how many defenders are there in Tianjing City now? Also, have Chen Yucheng's soldiers and horses returned? ”

"About 20,000 people!" Since Luo Guozhong was forced to turn against Li Shixian, he now simply joined the Hong Army: "There are still twenty or thirty thousand old and weak people who can be mobilized, a total of 50,000 people, but since the expedition of the Yiwang King, the army's heart is quite uncertain, and the king of heaven has repeatedly asked Chen Yucheng to lead his troops back to Beijing, but although Chen Yucheng intends to return to Beijing, but his roots are in northern Anhui, and it is difficult to make a decision for a while, and now attacking Tianjing is a God-given opportunity, but the worrying person is just the Taiping army of Anhui Province to save him!"

"King Yan has ordered the soldiers to go straight out of Anhui, and the capital is already in my Li Shixian's pocket this day!"

………,

Hangzhou City.

At the same time that Tianjing sent an envoy to Zhenjiang, he also sent an envoy to Hangzhou, and this time the lineup and title were even more exaggerated.

"The main general of the five armies of the Holy Divine Wind, Shenwu opened the division......"

Although Hong Xiuquan is a religious madman, he also knows that under the siege of the Hongjun army, Tianjing may not be able to hold it, so he pins his hopes on the country title of "Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother Heavenly King Taiping Heavenly Kingdom", that is, he hopes that Liu Chang can see the title of Heavenly Kingdom, and immediately stop attacking and throw himself into the Heavenly Kingdom, and then the Heavenly Kingdom can turn the corner.

It's just that Liu Chang smiled at Sun Huzi on the side: "It is estimated that there is such a thing over there in Zhenjiang, Hong Xiuquan hasn't woken up yet!" Do you understand the mistake made this time? ”

After thinking about it behind closed doors at home for a few months, although the treatment still enjoyed the original treatment, Sun Huzi had already understood the taste of losing power, and he immediately replied: "I have already figured it out, the military discipline in the army is like iron, and it must not be disobeyed. ”

It's just that he whispered the next moment: "Just ask Your Highness to read that I am an old minister of Yueqing, spare Lixing this time, Lixing is still very young, and I really want to go back to the army!"

He knew that after Jin Peilun arrived at the Third Division, his basic unit, he vigorously dug his own wall footing, which had the meaning of running the Third Division into the Jin Family Army, and if he left the Third Division for one more day, the Third Division would have the color of the Jin Family Army, but Liu Chang had an arrangement that he disagreed: "Are you willing to take on the position of the Fujian Overseer?" The Third Division is now attacking Tianjing, I'm afraid it won't be able to go back!"

Although he couldn't return to the third division, but at least there was a springboard for the Fujian overseers, Sun Lixing knew that he would no longer be idle, so he was immediately relieved: "His Royal Highness King Yan asked me to fight Sun Huzi wherever he wanted, and Sun Huzi would go, and never say a word of nonsense!" Please rest assured, Your Highness!"

Speaking of which, the position of Fujian Overseer is indeed much worse than the original Jiangning Guard, but at least there is a name for the governor of a province, as long as it takes time, it can be operated, but he also has his own requirements: "Your Highness, it's just that if I go to Fujian to take office, I don't have any other requirements, I just want to bring an old regiment from the Third Division to take office." ”

"It's really not easy to not have your own team!" Liu Chang agreed to Sun Huzi's request: "I can agree to this, do you know the situation in Fujian?" ”

"I only know a few, and I don't have too much research!" Sun Huzi said happily: "I heard that Shi Yunqing's rebellion has been put down. ”

"We have a lot of troops in Fujian, plus Huang Jinwen's infantry regiment and other troops, even if we don't count Shi Yunqing's chaotic army, the total strength has reached 13,400 people, although the quality of the troops is not as good as the old troops, but after all, it is 13,400 people, but in the past, there was a lack of a general to command these forces, and even Fuzhou Mansion was not taken down!"

Sun Huzi immediately replied: "As soon as I go to Fujian, I will take the laying of Fuzhou as the first priority. ”

Now the capture of Fuzhou has come to a natural time, although there has been such a rebellion as Shi Yunqing's rebellion, but now the entire Hong army in Fujian is less than the Qing army, but it has already held the complete initiative, and now only owes a general like Sun Huzi.

Liu Chang also said bluntly: "The most important plan for this spring is to seize Suwan and Lianghu to form a situation of confrontation between the north and the south, so Fujian's offensive can only be regarded as a secondary offensive, but Fujian is the rear and flank of our Hong Army, and there is no room for mistakes.

"Lixing got it!"

To say that Sun Lixing has no resentment, it is impossible, after all, it is sent from Jiangsu to Fujian, but he also has his own ideas: "Your Highness, the most important thing at the moment is to take Jinling, as long as you take Jinling, the situation in the entire southeast will be alive, but there is a little Sun Lixing who feels that although Jinling is not a king's land after all, it is not suitable to set the capital." ”…,

Liu Chang has not yet made up his mind about the capital of Nanjing, and when he heard Sun Lixing's statement, he asked: "The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has made a big mistake to set the capital of Nanjing, I will not consider repeating their mistakes for the time being, but where is the capital of Dingdu, it is still a problem, and we have to brainstorm it!"

After hearing Liu Chang's suggestion, Sun Huzi immediately said: "In my opinion, it is still appropriate to put it in Hangzhou for the time being, the current situation is different from the past, as long as there is a telegraph line, even if it is separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, you can command Ruyi, and Hangzhou is close to Huzhou, that is our foundation!"

As soon as he talked about Huzhou, Liu Chang's expression also became joyful: "That's right, Huzhou is our foundation, there is coal, iron, and industrial ......."

In fact, Huzhou is not only as simple as coal, iron and industry, but also has the best business in Zhejiang, but now Huzhou's center of gravity has developed towards industrialization, and during the war in the past few months, the entire Huzhou's industry and manufacturing industry can be described as leaping in.

In view of the fact that the source of Shanghai's industrial products has become somewhat unreliable, several factories in Hongjun have tried their best to produce all the industrial products that can be manufactured, and the production capacity has made a huge leap forward, not to mention that some gaps in the industry have been refreshed, and now the first furnace of molten steel has been produced.

It was only with the victory of the Hongjun on the battlefield that there was a possibility that these industrial production capacity would become surplus, after all, the industrial products purchased directly from Shanghai were far cheaper than those made by the Hongjun in Huzhou, so some rumors spread in the market that a number of factories would be closed and a large number of workers would be laid off.

These rumors have a large market in the market, especially some handicraft workshops have been directly impacted by Hongjun's new factory, and these rumors have spread everywhere, but they are soon frightened.

Zhou Xiuying has already brought a whole infantry brigade and a whole cavalry brigade to Huzhou, and those workshop owners who spread rumors are terrified, Zhou Xiuying will not take this army to bloody Huzhou City, right?

In fact, Zhou Xiuying's combat operations did have something to do with Huzhou's new industry.

She did not think that the key to this operation was to march into Anhui, but directly named it the Second Coal and Iron Battle. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
