In the republic, dispatching large troops to rescue and relieve disasters was a commonplace thing, and even criticized, but in the Qing Dynasty, this was almost an incredible thing.

The Green Battalion and the Eight Banners are mostly arranged on various key points, and in the event of a catastrophe, even a second-rank officer like the chief officer can summon only a few hundred troops temporarily.

In this case, the general army, the prefect, and the prefect and the prefect first consider the issue of public security, and they must focus on deployment, especially notice that the underground ambush will take the opportunity to make trouble, it is precisely because of this that even if they are invested, the 180th person has already reached the sky, and most of the time, these battalions have become the supervisors of the front line, responsible for supervising the people.

But in this storm, Hu Xueyan saw an irresistible sharpness, although he could also see such a sharp spirit on himself, but he could only see such vigor and sharpness on rare occasions.

But on Liu Chang's side, every officer and soldier has such vigor, he wants to save the people from fire and water, so he asked: "This time the inspection point dispatched the dragon spear battalion, but they are all unarmed, they can ......"

"Shovels, sandbags, everything, all ready!" The answer to him was Feng Sixian, the magistrate of Huangyan County, who accompanied him to Jinhua County: "Don't worry!" ”

"I mean, in case you meet the Qing soldiers?" Hu Xueyan asked this question: "But the Dragon Lance Battalion is really the elite of the world!" ”

"With such a heavy rain, it's too late for the Qing soldiers to hide, how can they come out!" Feng Sixian smiled: "At least it is impossible for our Zhejiang army to have such momentum, besides, even if we encounter Qing soldiers, in such a heavy rain, our dragon spear battalion is still holding a shovel, even if it is barehanded"..."

There was a strong confidence in his words: "Bully them the same!" ”

Hu Xueyan smiled, but asked another question: "It seems a bit inappropriate to check the Jinhua Mansion and not only attack by taking advantage of the rain, but instead send troops out to relieve the disaster?" ”

"What's wrong!" The other side had already answered him: "Old Feng, okay! It's good if you come back, this time our troops, except for the second battalion of Jintang as the general reserve, have been put into it as appropriate! ”

"What? Got it all in? Hu Xueyan was taken aback, and now that this is the war: "How can this be done?" ”

"Since the siege of Jinhua, we have successively defeated sixteen Qing troops who came to the rescue from all sides, and these Qing troops were able to run at first, and then even the Lanxi battalion was able to run away with them! Now as soon as I heard about the support for Jinhua, the generals of the Qing Demon just stood still, how dare they come! ”

As he was talking, the dragon spear beasts over there had already set out in a company, and Liu Chang patted them on the shoulders one by one and shouted, "Call it well!" ”

And the enthusiasm of the Dragon Lance Battalion had overwhelmed this heavy rain, and after lasting for more than ten minutes, Liu Chang watched the figure of the Dragon Lance Battalion disappear into the distant countryside, where Feng Sixian had already led Hu Xueyan over: "Check!" ”

Liu Chang smiled and hugged Feng Sixian: "Feng Zhixian, thank you for your hard work!" There may have been some personnel changes recently, I would like to ask your opinion, are you going to continue to work in the army, or do you want to transfer to the locality? ”

Feng Enxian knew that Liu Chang's layout had always been very meaningful, and the choice in front of him might be related to the future of his life, so he hesitated for a moment before answering: "I will go wherever the inspection point tells me to go!" ”

Over there, Hu Xueyan was taken aback, at first he could only hear Liu Chang's voice, but he didn't see Liu Chang's face clearly, but now he finally saw it clearly.

In front of him is a handsome young man, at least sixteen or seventeen years old, this is too young, right? …,

But such a young man, but with his bare hands, he won the territory of the entire twenty-five counties of the three prefectures, and if nothing else, he will definitely take down the two prefectures of Ningshao next, or half of Zhejiang is the world of this young man.

Not to mention that the troops under his command can be called the best soldiers in the world, except for foreign soldiers, Hu Xueyan can't think of any troops that can stand still in such a heavy rain, and can compete with such troops, in the Jiangnan camp, only Zhang Guoliang's division is the army, and in the Hunan army, I am afraid that there is only Bao Chao and Alondo's division.

And what's even more terrifying is the layout of this person, not to mention anything else, even a thousand-year-old famous family like the Cixi Feng family bets on him.

Thinking of this, Hu Xueyan didn't care that the storm was spilling from his side, so he knelt down directly in the rain: "I've seen the inspection!" ”

"Who is this?" Liu Chang had already helped Hu Xueyan up for the first time: "This friend is just polite, let's go in and take shelter from the rain!" ”

Feng Enxian next to him had already replied: "This is Hangzhou Hu Guangyan Hu Xueyan!" He had just taken a first-class position from the exchange, so he pulled me to Jinhua to thank the inspector! ”

"Hu Xueyan?" Liu Chang had already nodded: "I've heard of your name, it's a character, you have a good relationship with Wang Xuexuan?" ”

As soon as Liu Chang asked about his relationship with Wang Youling, Hu Xueyan was not taboo: "Wang Youling and I are friends of life, and this time I came to Jinhua Mansion to go to the soup for Wang Xuexuan!" "Good!" Liu Chang saw him and made it clear: "Sure enough, he is the first-class person in Hangzhou's business community, and I was heartbroken at first sight!" ”

This Hu Xueyan's biography, Liu Chang has read several books, not to mention the late Qing Dynasty history, this Hu Xueyan is a hero who can't help but talk about, although he was defeated in the end, most of the time Hu Xueyan only saw the domestic silk price, but did not notice the fluctuation of foreign silk prices, and made an amazing gamble under the boundaries of vision.

Such a character can't be judged by success or failure, so Liu Chang took Hu Xueyan's hand and walked to his house, untied his clothes as soon as he entered the door, looked at Hu Xueyan's body was covered with muddy water, and immediately said: "Eldest sister, bring Mr. Hu a bowl of ginger soup, and find a ,...change of clothes for Mr. Hu."

Hu Xueyan is now very embarrassed, covered in mud and water, but he is in a very happy mood, Liu Chang does not treat him as an outsider, and most of the things he has to talk about can be done: "No need, no need!" I came to the inspection point for this matter, and I was entrusted by Wang Xuexuan to have a good talk with the inspection point.

Counting up, Wang Youling is now the prefect of Hangzhou, and in later generations, he will be the acting secretary of the Hangzhou Municipal Party Committee, but in this era, the weight of his capital is much heavier, so Liu Chang also sat down very happily: "Wang Youling's mansion, I remember that he is from Fujian?" ”

"Fujian Houguan." Hu Xueyan said with a smile: "I have been friends with him for many years, and I can be half of his family!" ”

Hu Xueyan is not only able to be Wang Youling's half of the family, their relationship is so close that it is not enough for outsiders, so Liu Chang is also very simple: "Now that the righteous teacher is from southern Zhejiang, the gold department has been restored, Ning Shao pointed to it, I don't know what Wang Xuexuan thinks." ”

In history, Wang Youling committed suicide and martyrdom, but this does not mean that Wang Youling is a stubborn bureaucrat, on the contrary, he is known for his flexible mind, so Hu Xueyan also talked eloquently: "Check, Wang Futai is not a Taoist from reading Baguwen, he is from a donation class." ”

The system of the Qing Dynasty is not limited to the imperial examination background, and the donation class is also a way to rise, and there are many people who have become important members by virtue of the donation class, so Liu Chang immediately understood Hu Xueyan's grace: "The donation class is very good, but it is much stronger than Mr. Daoxue, I don't know what Wang Xuexuan's arrangements for the Zhejiang Bureau are now." ”…,

"He asked Li Yuandu to take Xiang Yong into Zhejiang, Li Yuandu was a famous general in the Xiang army, Wang Futai thought simply, thinking that he would be able to cure the disease as soon as he came."

Li Yuandu?

Liu Chang couldn't help but chuckle, this Li Yuandu is indeed a famous man in the Hunan Army, but he is famous for that famous joke, saying that Zeng Guofan came out with a Shanglian "Like Mrs." Li Yuandu was quick for a while, and blurted out: "Tongjinshi." As a result, Zeng Guofan hated Li Yuandu all his life because he was born in the same jinshi.

There are many versions of this paragraph, but most people are still on Li Yuandu, but now Li Yuandu and Zeng Guofan are still newlyweds....... After the defeat of Jiujiang, the first army was set up, and the original intention was to protect the sailors, protect the fundamentals, and never forget it; After the defeat of Zhangshu, the contemptible subordinates had no other army, and Lai Taiduan supported the East Road, hidden in the giant town, and tried to support the continuous friendship, waiting for Chu to help, and the three did not forget. Self-reading rite home, looking back on the past, attached to the soldiers who have worked hard for a long time, especially the two of them under the foot and Xueqin. ”

It's just that Zeng Disheng kept saying that he didn't forget one or three, and he completely turned his face in two years, and he must put his three don't forget to save his life and put his benefactor down, at that time, in order to participate in Li Yuandu's problem, he even tore his face with Li Hongzhang, Li Hongzhang, who was Zeng Guofan's full-time secretary at the time, repeatedly opposed Zeng Guofan's participation in Li Yuandu, and finally simply left Zeng Guofan's Qimen camp and ran away, which made Zeng Guofan anxious because of a large number of official documents, and had to invite Li Hongzhang back.

It's just that most people in the world think that Li Yuandu's "Tongjinshi" joke angered Zeng Guofan, but in fact it is not, the reason why Zeng Guofan hates Li Yuandu, the old husband and wife who never forgot the past, is entirely because Li Yuandu was co-opted by He Guiqing and Wang Youling's group, not only broke away from the Hunan army, but also became an important chess piece of He Guiqing's group to compete with the Hunan army militarily.

It's just that this is in history eight years after Xianfeng, but Li Yuandu has a relationship with He Guiqing's small group in history, He Guiqing and Wang Youling look down on Zeng Guofan, but they look at Li Yuandu differently, and deliberately pull him out of the Hunan Army Group, and now they want to invite Li Yuandu to bring Yong into Zhejiang a few years in advance.

Seeing Liu Chang smile lightly, Hu Xueyan already knew that Li Yuandu did not have much weight in Liu Chang's heart: "It is better to be careful to deal with the inspection points, Li Yuandu is a famous place in the Hunan army after all, he is old in the military formation, and he can fight in Xiangyong, and he is not comparable to Zhejiang Yong." ”

Liu Chang smiled again: "I'm not worried about the Hunan Li Yuandu, I'm only worried about the Hunan army, I don't know if Wang Xuexuan's mansion feels this way?" ”。 ）
