Qu Zhenhan has always been full of curiosity about this mysterious Tianjing envoy, but after entering the city, Liu Changxianglin's sister entered the Grand View Garden and refused to say a word.

But now that Liu Chang spoke, Qu Zhenhan immediately arched his hand and said, "What's wrong? Is this all a good policy set by Mr. Kim Peiquan? ”

Jin Peiquan beside him had already stood up: "This is a benevolent and righteous act, the righteous teacher entered the city, the autumn did not commit any crimes, and the old people were retained, and they could win the trust of others." ”

He has always promised Zhang Zifang and Zhuge Liang that this time the Red Turban Army entered Lecheng, and the military discipline was in order, most of which was his credit, as for the retention of civil and military officials and officers and soldiers of the Green Battalion, it was from his handwriting: "My righteous teacher retains the old people, and the people of the whole city are settled, which can be described as a teacher of benevolence and righteousness." ”

Liu Chang shook his head slightly, and gestured with his hand: "Mr. Jin's words are bad!" ”

Liu Chang knew that these green battalion soldiers were absolutely forced to surrender to the Red Turban Army because of the situation, not their original intention, the green battalion soldiers were unusable as early as the Qianlong period, and they were even more vulnerable after the First Opium War, and ushered in a total collapse in the tide of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but the Qing court still tried to tinker with the collapsed green battalion military system in the next few decades, and even occupied nearly half of the military resources of the late Qing Dynasty.

The reason for this is that the Green Battalion is a world soldier, a generation of natives, extremely obedient, and a loyal lackey of the Qing court to suppress the popular rebellion.

Once there is a change, these green battalion soldiers will definitely become the most terrible enemy of the Red Turban Army, in history, it is these retained green battalion officers and soldiers bad things, when the county residents rose up to attack the Red Turban Army, these green battalion officers and soldiers responded one after another, joined the slaughter team, and let thousands and hundreds of Red Turban Army fall in a pool of blood

Qu Zhenhan didn't want Liu Chang to point at the Red Turban Army as soon as he got out of the car, and he was unhappy in his heart, but since this person claimed to be a messenger from Tianjing City, he could only listen to a few gossips from him for the time being before leaving.

Liu Chang continued: "I entered the city as a righteous teacher, and I should do benevolent and righteous deeds, but Mr. Jin should know why Han Gaozu abandoned Luoyang and decided to be Guanzhong? ”

Although Jin Peiquan is only at the level of a country school teacher, he is easy to talk about empty words, but since he has promised himself Zhang Zifang, Zhuge Liang, and Liu Bowen, he has naturally read historical records and Tongjian, and when he heard this, he asked: "Are you saying that Lou Jing said about Gaozu?" I still remember that this is still Zhang Zifang's sentence, this place is not a country that uses force, and finally said that Gaozu will set the capital in Guanzhong. ”

Liu Chang nodded, and asked again: "Why doesn't Henkel use the Zhou Forbidden City and set the capital Luoyang?" ”

Jin Peiquan's foundation in the old school is still good, and he immediately recited Lou Jing's words to persuade Henkel: "Your Majesty takes the world and the world is different." Zhou Zhixian, since the Hou Ji Feng Tai, accumulated virtue, more than ten generations, as for the princes, Wang Ji, King Wen, King Wu and the princes returned to him, and then destroyed Yin as the Son of Heaven. and King Cheng ascended the throne, the Duke of Zhou was in charge, and it was Yingluoyi...... Today, His Majesty has abundant and Pei, rolled Shu, Han, and set three Qin, and Xiang Yu fought between Xingyang and Chenggao, with 70 big battles and 40 small battles; so that the people of the world, the liver and brain are smeared on the ground, the father and son are violent and the bones are innumerable, the crying is not stopped, and the injured people have not risen; And when he wanted to be better than Long in Cheng and Kang, the ministers thought that it was not ......"

Just halfway through his back, Jin Peiquan suddenly felt sweaty, and he couldn't carry it, Liu Chang asked him: "Although Qu Shuai rebelled, today's situation is the world of Chengkang, and there are more than ten generations of virtue?" Or when Henkel was in full swing, the world was chasing its deer? ”

"This ......" Jin Peiquan felt that his originally perfect plan suddenly had countless flaws, and he said hesitantly: "Generalissimo Qu and I both started from recklessness, which is different from Zhou Shiyou's accumulation of virtue and goodness, and is closer to the time of Henkel. ”

He knows exactly what the weight of these people is, although Qu Zhenhan calls himself the commander of the Zhejiang East Hong Army, and has the title of generalissimo of the world's land and water soldiers and horses, but before the incident, he was just an ordinary local tyrant in Dongxiang, everyone knows that he is a bean curd shopkeeper who donated a prison student, and the county town has a history and other goods, Qu Zhenhan has to open a few days in advance, he was able to convene three battalions of the Red Turban Army this time, most of them borrowed the power of the Qu clan.

As for himself, he is just a country scholar with a little reputation, and he has no weight in the county, and as for the leaders who started together, he barely has some weight in the countryside of Yueqing, at least he has the name of a prisoner and a student, but he is nothing when he enters this Yueqing City.

With such a combination of small local tyrants, how can you have the ability to accumulate virtues and goodness, and what ability can you hold those old officials and miscellaneous servants who have been working for many years, and the green camp general Mou in your hands, everyone knows that you are just a small bean curd shopkeeper after all.

Qu Zhenhan only knew a little about writing and ink, but he could also hear Jin Peiquan's heart: "Mr. Jin? Are there any flaws in your strategy? ”

Jin Peiquan responded, and Liu Chang's voice was already loud: "Qu Shuai, in this world of Henkel, the wind is surging, and in troubled times, you should use heavy canons, but you can't be soft-hearted, and you mistake yourself and your clan!" ”

He has already figured out that the people who followed Qu Zhenhan this time were all Dongxiang people, among whom the Qu clan was very numerous, although Qu Zhenhan was a small local tyrant, but he was a man from all over the world and had a lot of help for the clan, so he could respond to every call.

Qu Zhenhan was born recklessly, but he finally knew a little bit of literature and ink, Liu Chang said "the world of Henkel", "when the times are in trouble" He can not only understand, but also feel that he has spoken to the bottom of his heart, as for the "wrong clan", it makes him feel that this long-haired messenger from Tianjing City seems to be his intimate person, but he said hesitantly: "It's just that this handsome words have been spoken, and you can't break your word and get fat." ”

Jin Peiquan has already spoken: "The so-called mercy is not in charge of the army!" ”

Although he is not a clever strategist, but he is a little thorough, the more he thinks about it now, the more afraid he becomes, he didn't expect that he actually planted such a time bomb in the backyard and was complacent, if it weren't for the fact that this Tianjing envoy was old in planning, he almost missed a big thing.

"Ci is not in charge of the army, and those who achieve great things cannot be limited to means." Liu Chang also persuaded on the side: "Qu Shuai, you must not make mistakes. ”

Qu Zhenhan was still a little hesitant: "But in this, there is also my internal response, and they are reliable." ”

His mother-in-law, Jin Peiquan pushed it: "This gentleman is right, those who achieve great things cannot be limited by means, and Qu Shuai must not make such a big mistake." ”

Speaking of now, Qu Zhenhan made up his mind: "Just rely on the two gentlemen!" By the way, haven't you asked this little gentleman about his surname? Since he is a messenger of Tianjing, what is his position in the Dongwang Mansion now? ”

Until now, Liu Chang has not identified himself, he has already thought of a set of words, and immediately took a step forward: "Under Liu Chang." ”

"Brother Liu is really young and promising!" Qu Zhenhan praised it.

Liu Chang continued to introduce his origin: "Although Zai Xia is from Tianjing, he is an idler in the Heavenly King's Mansion and has nothing to do with His Royal Highness the East King. ”

Jin Peiquan immediately exclaimed: "Yes, yes, yes!" Brother Liu said that it was sent by the King of Heaven to eastern Zhejiang, and Brother Liu can often hear the holy words in front of the Palace of the King of Heaven? Have you ever led a large army into Zhejiang? ”

This time the Red Turban Army uprising, Jin Peiquan was the one who made the bridge from it, he risked his death to go to Nanjing several times, and finally got the appreciation of Yang Xiuqing, the king of Mengdong, and got a letter of appointment from the commander of the Hongjun Army in eastern Zhejiang.

At this time, the political structure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was a freak, although the king of heaven Hong Xiuquan was the first person who was supreme in theory, but in practice it was completely hollowed out, and the eastern king Yang Xiuqing was almost alone in charge of all the military power, completely above Hong Xiuquan, and even in the name of the heavenly brother to beat Hong Xiuquan's board in public, and in the end, everyone pleaded to avoid Hong Xiuquan's board.

In this case, Jin Peiquan naturally followed the path of Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, the heavenly kingdom rose up, the Quartet responded, there were countless little people like him inside and outside the East Palace, and Yang Xiuqing didn't have much hope on him, except for an official letter, he refused to give a little support.

"The King of Heaven heard that the Hongjun in eastern Zhejiang had an incident, and specially sent me to participate in the grand event!" Liu Chang said very calmly: "As for the heavenly soldiers entering Zhejiang, they need the Hong Army's response!" ”

Jin Peiquan had already turned many thoughts in his heart, and he felt that this Red Turban Army uprising was a little more certain: "The heavenly soldiers really made a big move to enter Zhejiang?" ”

Speaking of which, the strategic layout after the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom set up the capital of Nanjing can be described as Qimeng, first sent the Northern Expeditionary Army to go deep alone, and then the Western Expedition ended hastily, completely lacking strategic vision, so that it was far from being able to defend Zhenjiang, and even the Purple Mountain outside Nanjing was in the hands of the Qing army, and the Jiangnan camp was stationed more than ten miles away from Tianjing City.

Originally, after capturing Nanjing, Zhu Yuanzhang could follow the old wisdom of establishing the Ming Dynasty, gradually conquer the southeast, and then lead the northern expedition, but the Kingdom of Heaven not only failed to pacify southern Jiangsu, but even for a long time to Zhejiang, the richest province in the southeast, it can be said that there was no crime in autumn.

The economic lifeline of the entire Manchu Qing Dynasty relied on southern Jiangsu and northern Zhejiang, and the weight of northern Zhejiang was particularly heavy, and the Zhejiang Green Battalion was a notoriously weak brigade and extremely unbearable.

However, since Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing, they had no intention of attacking Zhejiang, and abandoned such a piece of the most beautiful fat, and in 1855 Fan Rujie's troops entered Zhejiang for only six days, although the whole Zhejiang was shocked, but it was only a transit tour, and in April 1858, Shi Da entered Zhejiang, and there was no long-term plan. It was not until 1860 that Li Xiu became the siege of Xie Tianjing and finally entered Zhejiang in a big way, but this was also to encircle Wei and save Zhao from breaking the Jiangnan camp. Finally, in the second year, that is, in 1861, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom finally made up its mind to take the whole of Zhejiang, but it was too late, although it once captured almost all of Zhejiang except for the two cities and five county seats, but the drastic changes in the situation made Zhejiang an outcast in the strategic layout of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

But now Liu Chang replied without scruples: "That's right, the Heavenly King and the Eastern King have agreed that as long as the Hong Army rises up, the Heavenly Soldiers can enter Zhejiang in a big way." ”

His words were equivalent to giving Qu Zhenhan a shot in the arm: "Very good, very good, but Brother Liu is really an idler in the Heavenly King's Mansion?" I don't think so, right? ”

Liu Chang was not very familiar with the official system of the Celestial Empire, and he was ready to fool the past when he hit Haha: "The official position under the lower level is very small, and it is just a checkpoint." ”

Jin Peiquan had already exclaimed: "The foot is one of the thirty-six checkpoints in front of the palace? ”
