"Then Ningfang doesn't want it?"

As soon as the political envoy Han Chun's words came out, He Guiqing's face was pulled down on the spot, you are from a Jinshi, and you have served so many positions as a Shujishi, Hanlin, Yushi, Zhejiang Yanyun Division, and Fujian according to the inspection envoy, why are you so unsophisticated, which pot is not opened.

When he was the governor of Zhejiang, there were two things that could really be praised by the center.

The first is to raise salaries, not to mention anything else, every month Zhejiang alone to the Jiangnan battalion on the salary of 60,000 taels of silver, military supplies and ammunition are countless, as for the rest of the thieves army, Zhejiang Province also often has help, so that people at the time said that most of the world's military salaries come from southern Jiangsu and northern Zhejiang.

The matter of preparing for the association, the following public grievances are everywhere, so that the people change frequently, and the officials who handle it are mostly corrupt, raising one or two military salaries for the front line, often at the same time there will be seven or eight taels of silver falling into the pockets of private individuals, but who can not attack He Guiqing in this matter for doing it wrong, but to praise him for his effective assistance, which can be called the dry city of the country.

The so-called three defenses refer to Ningfang, Qu defense and strict defense, that is, to prevent the Taiping army from entering Zhejiang in the southwest of Zhejiang.

Among the three defenses, the most important and the most beautiful is the Ningfang, the so-called Ningfang, refers to the two prefectures of Huizhou and Ningguo in Anhui, which can be said to be the barrier of Zhejiang, although it is the territory of Anhui, but He Guiqing is afraid that the Taiping army will enter Zhejiang from Ningguo, so it is fortified in Ningguo. Although Ningfang is not Zhejiang, it is set up for Zhejiang, so not only the food and ammunition of the garrison are supplied by Zhejiang, but Zhejiang also has a large number of soldiers stationed in Ningguo, and even Deng Shaoliang, the governor of Zhejiang, is stationed in Ningguo to prevent the Taiping army from entering.

But now that Deng Shaoliang and his troops are withdrawn from Ningguo, do you want to defend Ningfang?

The words of the political envoy Han Chun not only made the face of the governor He Guiqing unbearable, but even the Zhejiang envoy Yan Duanshu who proposed this proposal was tense in his face, and as for the bottom of the Hangzhou Prefecture, Wang Youling's face was also like frost.

He Guiqing, Yan Duanshu, and Wang Youling are all people in the same small circle, but Han Chun, who was born in the Han military banner, is not their own person in this small circle, so they also have remorse as soon as these words come out: "Wang Tongju, what do you think?" ”

The lowest Hangzhou Prefecture sentenced Wang Youling's official rank is not high, but he is He Guiqing's confidant, he pondered for a while, and put forward his own opinions: "Futai, Fantai, Zhentai, I have some opinions, I don't know whether to talk about it or not!"

He Guiqing affectionately called Wang Youling's words: "Xue Xuan, you just talk about it." ”

Wang Youling immediately said: "Then the next official will talk about it, this red turban thief advocates chaos in Wen County, and is unmatched, everyone has read Wen Zhen's manuscript, and the deputy generals Chi Jianjiang, Yao Wucheng, guerrilla Zhuo Dalin, and Dusi Zhangcheng have been martyred, and there are many dead and wounded soldiers, and it is said that there are hundreds of real long hairs among the thieves. ”

He slowed down and continued: "Such a thief is really unheard of, and it may not be much inferior to the real long hair, and in Zhejiang Province, we naturally have to work together to pacify this gangster, so the first priority is that the Manchus and Hans work together, and now the Hangzhou general is far away in the north, and there will inevitably be some entanglements between the Manchus and Hans. ”

According to the Manchu Qing system, the highest-ranking general in Zhejiang Province should be the Hangzhou general, but although the current Hangzhou general Ruichang has been appointed for two years, he has not officially taken office, but only stayed by the side of Seng Lingqin to praise the military affairs.

Historically, the Hangzhou general has been following the monk King Zanxiang for more than seven years before he officially took office, and just after more than a year of official office, he met Li Xiucheng to attack Hangzhou twice, and he could only commit suicide in a desperate situation.

But in this time and space, Wang Youling is determined to force Ruichang to Hangzhou: "The garrison general is not there for a day, and the Manchus and Hans can't work together for a day, so we should play together." ”

For this disposition that has nothing to do with the overall situation and is even a little ridiculous, it has won unanimous praise from these Zhejiang Provincial officials present: "Xue Xuan said very much!"

"If the garrison general is not in Hangzhou for a day, it will inevitably be entangled between the Manchus and Hans!"

"Brother Xue Xuan, see it!"

Ruichang is full, if the sky falls, he, the responsibility of the general stationed from the first product, will definitely not be able to run, everything is up to him, and He Guiqing is happy to see it.

Then Wang Youling said: "Continue the second priority, is to ask for help, Wen Zhen's manuscript said, the thief is like fire, you have to pay a million taels of soldiers, 20,000 soldiers can be pacified, now the whole Zhejiang army salary three defenses, although you can draw troops in the provinces, pull out the military salary, but it is tantamount to digging up the flesh to make up for the sores, and Wen County is in the southernmost part of Zhejiang, Hangzhou is difficult to take into account, but it is very close to Fuzhou......"

As soon as he said this, everyone in the audience nodded again and again, this is really the best way.

Wenzhou is located in the southernmost part of Zhejiang, the farthest from Hangzhou, but close to Fujian, which belonged to the same theater in the military and administrative system of the Qing Dynasty, and there was a governor of Zhejiang and Fujian above the governor of Zhejiang.

"I set up a defense in Ningguo to keep the whole Zhejiang safe for several years." Wang Youling said at the head of the head: "Now that the rebellion in Wenjun is beyond the reach of the whip commander in Zhejiang, there is no calculation of elite soldiers and strong generals below the general system of Wang, you can refer to the old practice of Ningfang, please Fujian Province temporarily set up Wenfang, and send a cadre to lead the troops out of Wenjun to prevent and block the Hongkou!"

Everyone thinks that Wang Youling's idea is very good, Zhejiang is not only the jurisdiction of the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, then Wenzhou is naturally also the jurisdiction of Wang Yide, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, Fuzhou and Wenzhou are close at hand, so please ask the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian to preside over the prevention and blocking of Hongkou, which is a beautiful thing for both people and land.

As long as Wang Yide, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, takes over, then Wang Yide will be the first to bear the fall of the sky, and it is also Wang Yide's primary responsibility to raise troops and food.

You can't get out of this fire pit, but at least you can go home tonight and get a good night's sleep.

He Guiqing and Wang Youling have the best friendship, and they know that Wang Youling has had a hot fight with a businessman named Hu Guangtang recently, and this Hu Xueyan gave Wang Youling a lot of ideas: "Xuexuan, isn't it the note that Hu Xueyan wrote to you, if he really has the talent, I can introduce him to a good business, Zhejiang Province is taking care of the military salary, military supplies, military food, and arms of the Jiangnan battalion to take on the heavy responsibility of procurement and transportation." ”

"Then I'll thank Futai for Xue Yan first!" Wang Youling was overjoyed, Hu Xueyan was the character in his pocket, and he could share the profit in it after such a beautiful difference: "Futai, Fantai, Zhentai, if this thing can be done, I will let Brother Xueyan come to the door to thank you!"

Everyone nodded tacitly, Hu Xueyan could not thank him empty-handed when he came to the door, he must have offered a heavy gift that could not be thicker.

He Guiqing smiled knowingly: "Xue Xuan, you two are very good, but you can't help it, and you can't save Wenzhen from this monstrous fire, but what is the better strategy?" ”

Wang Youling has already prepared: "Futai, I still have a strategy for drawing salaries from the bottom of the cauldron, have you ever heard that there is a real long hair among the thieves, called Liu Juehu?" ”
