captured Changsha City, but failed to capture Zeng Guofan, and even several generals and family members under him failed to capture it, Feng Yunshan felt very pity. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe most regrettable thing is that he was not able to annihilate Xiangyong in one fell swoop.

Zuo Zongtang reported that five or six hundred Xiang Yong were eliminated outside the city, and after breaking Changsha City, three or four hundred Xiang Yong were killed, more than 800 Xiang Yong were wounded and captured, and one or two hundred Xiang Yong fled into the homes of the people due to the chaos in the city. In this way, the entire battle of Changsha also caused Zeng Guofan to lose more than 2,000 Xiangyong.

It's also a heavy blow to Zeng shaved his head! Feng Yunshan said secretly. He didn't plan to wipe out all the Xiangyong of Zeng Guofan at once.

In history, the commander of the Hunan army, who was "repeatedly defeated and repeatedly defeated", was also as tenacious as a small strong man who could not be killed.

However, this time, his old nest Xiangxiang and Changsha will be eliminated, and it must be difficult for him to develop as in history. The rest of Yuezhou will be left for him to develop a water division and fight with the Taiping army that has begun to march westward.

Feng Yunshan thought about it, asked people to go back to the ship to get paper and pencils, and Wu Chongyao wrote the pen, replied on the spot, and ordered Chen Yucheng to lead the 3rd Division A and Peng Yulin's naval division to cooperate to capture Yiyang, Xiangyin, Yuanjiang and other counties, build forts, and prevent the Xiangyong Naval Division from attacking. Then, let Peng Yulin train sailors in the area of Yiyang, Xiangyin, and Yuan River, and then choose the opportunity to enter Dongting Lake after his strength is strong.

Liang Litai led the 4th Division to garrison in the vicinity of Changsha Prefecture.

Zuo Zongtang and Su Sanniang were transferred back to Guangzhou, and Su Sanniang's position as the commander of the Seventh Division was temporarily held by Peng Yulin.

Feng Yunshan transferred Zuo Zongtang back, but he was still worried that Zuo Zongtang would be in Xiangyin and Changsha's hometown, even if Zuo Zongtang didn't have this mind, he had to take strict precautions, Feng Yunshan hadn't heard much about the yellow robe.

As for Su Sanniang, it was purely because she was her own woman, and she also handed over her innocent body to herself, even if she played some tricks, Feng Yunshan didn't mind very much, and he still had to give her an explanation. As a woman of the Holy King, it is not suitable to show her face again, go to the battlefield to fight with the Qing demons, and transfer back earlier, besides, Feng Yunshan also misses her a little.

After dealing with the matter in Changsha, it was almost noon, and Qin Xinhui, the prefect of Shaozhou, and Luo Feide, the commander of the 18th Brigade, respectfully invited Feng Yunshan to go to the government for a banquet.

Feng Yunshan didn't want to pay attention to pomp, so he asked to eat directly on the boat, and after the meal, he went straight to the north along the Wujiang River.

Qin Xinhui, the prefect of Shaozhou, and Luo Feide, because they had received a notice that the holy king was going to the Quren Coal Mine in the north of Shaozhou Prefecture, hurriedly accompanied the way, and took a few of his relatives and guards to a small polder town called Lishi on the northwest side of the Wujiang River on the northwest side of Shaozhou Prefecture, where they got off the boat.

As soon as he got off the boat, Feng Yunshan saw a large black pile of open space outside the dock. Qin Xinhui, the prefect of Shaozhou, hurriedly stepped forward and introduced: "Holy King, please see, these are the coals mined from the Quren Coal Mine, piled up into mountains. ”

Feng Yunshan took a closer look, and sure enough, it was coal. It had been stacked for a while, staining the entire open space of the dock black. However, in the eyes of everyone, the piles of coal are only a few hundred tons in his opinion.

In front of them, the personnel of the coal mine and the police bureau and the public works bureau of the government had already been notified by Qin Xinhui to lead the way. Feng Yunshan saw that the streets and alleys in the entire Lishi Town were all black, so he said, "Governor Qin, is the mayor of Lishi Town here?" ”

Qin Xinhui hurriedly called a middle-aged man with a thin shopkeeper appearance, and said that it was Ding Heishan, the mayor of Lishi City.

"Mayor Ding, take this king to your town office to have a look." Feng Yunshan ordered with interest.

Ding Heishan nodded again and again, and led Feng Yunshan and the others forward for half a mile, passing through the polders that had been dispersed, and came to a thatched house made of adobe bricks with seven or eight rooms.

"Holy King, this is the town office." Ding Heishan's eyes were very small, and he smiled respectfully, so he could barely see his eyes, and he led everyone into the gate, while introducing: "This town office was built by the county magistrate Liu in Qujiang County when the Shengwang Mansion was established at the beginning of this year. There are two account offices, tax collectors, tax collectors, police officers, doctors, and teachers in the town office, one in one and one in pair, among which the police teacher, doctor, and teacher are not in the town office, but are in the police office, the medical office, and the peasant training center. ”

Feng Yunshan nodded, he specially came to see the townships, just to learn about the establishment of some institutions in these grassroots townships.

There is nothing to see in the town office, and what he is most concerned about is the peasant training center, but it is also led by Deding Heishan, and he will first go to the police station next to the polder.

The police station is close to Weiji, Feng Yunshan visually inspected, there is only a small thatched hut of less than 8 square meters, and the two police officers inside saw Ding Heishan and hurriedly came over to say hello. When he learned that it was the Holy King who came to visit them, he knelt down respectfully and shouted "Long live the Holy King", which provoked the businessmen of several shops in Weiji to squeeze over, which made Liu Shengbang highly nervous, and hurriedly ordered a group of guards to stop everyone and protect Feng Yunshan.

Feng Yunshan inquired about the excited police division in the police station, and learned that they were also formed at the beginning of the year, and were mainly responsible for civil disputes and public security management in Weiji and the entire Lishi Town, as well as the recruitment of recruits and the transmission of news in peacetime.

The policeman's surname is Zhao, last year Luo Outline led the troops to attack the Shaozhou Mansion when he participated in the holy army, and later was injured in the attack on Yingde, and the holy soldiers became the tail of the card, and so at the beginning of this year, the local government was formed, and he returned to his hometown to serve as the police division in the town, and invited his nephew who had studied some books to serve as the deputy police division, and the two managed the security and litigation of the whole town together, and had a silver of one or two dollars a month, and their lives were not bad.

Not only that, but the police station is also responsible for the collection and delivery of letters to and from the town and the collection of official documents from the county. Therefore, when Feng Yunshan asked with a smile what difficulties existed in the police station and what problems he wanted to reflect, the police officer surnamed Zhao ignored Qin Xinhui's envoy's eyes and said directly: "Holy King, the villain was also your holy soldier at the beginning, and I will tell you one thing. At present, there are more than 5,000 people in the whole town, but there are only two police divisions in the entire police station, and when they want to deliver a letter or go to the county to get a document during the day, there is no one to do it, and the police station is even more unmanned at night, and the manpower is very tight. ”

When Feng Yunshan heard it, it was also true that there were more than ten or twenty people in each town in the later generations, and what kind of auxiliary police and auxiliary police should be engaged in, etc., auxiliary police and auxiliary police, well, this is a good idea, not only do you not have to pay more salary, but you can also help manage things.

"Indeed, the brothers at the police station have worked hard. According to this king, you can set up a pilot, Qin Governor, Mayor Ding, you can first do a pilot in Lishi Town and several other townships, and each police station will recruit two or three assistant police divisions from the township to supplement the manpower. And this assistant police officer is to absorb enthusiastic people, and only half of the salary can be paid. Feng Yunshan replied.

Qin Xinhui and Ding Heishan nodded hurriedly.

Feng Yunshan didn't see the county magistrate of Qujiang County in the mouth of the town mayor Ding Heishan, and he felt slightly puzzled in his heart, he didn't even come to see Qujiang County when he came to it, but after a turn of his mind, he guessed that someone must have deliberately left him aside without even notifying him.

Then this person must be this prefect Qin Xinhui. However, I don't want to interfere too much in the fights of the people below, where there is officialdom, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are fights, there is nothing to ask, as long as it does not go out of line, it will have a bad impact.

At that moment, Feng Yunshan was led by Ding Heishan and continued to come to a row of blue brick houses next to the mountain. The house was built quite tall, and the appearance was somewhat similar to a church, Ding Heishan told Feng Yunshan that the row of blue brick houses was divided into two parts, one side was the infirmary, and the other was the peasant training center.

Lang Zhong from the infirmary sits here every polder, and the fee is lower than that of the town's pharmacy.

Feng Yunshan walked to the peasant training center with great interest. As soon as he arrived at the front of the room, as soon as Ding Heishan pushed the door, he heard a sound of reading from inside: "Dou Yanshan, there is a righteous party." Teach five sons, and be famous. Raise ...... without education"

But it was a group of boys who followed a gentleman with white hair who was reciting the "Three Character Classic", and when they saw someone pushing the door in, they all stopped and looked at Ding Heishan and others.

Through the door, Feng Yunshan saw seventy or eighty children sitting in a hall, ranging from five or six to ten years old, only six or seven girls, and the rest were boys.

The gentleman with white hair saw Ding Heishan and said, "Ding Lizheng, didn't I say that you don't want to bother me if you have nothing to do!" It's good that you're not only here yourself, but also with so many people! ”

Ding Heishan said with a straight face: "Master Li, how many times have you said it, call me Mayor Ding!" Now we don't have the Manchu Qing Dynasty, we are the territory of the Holy Kingdom. As he spoke, he let out the prefect Qin Xinhui behind him, and said, "Master Li, this is our Lord Qin, the prefect of Shaozhou, who specially came to inspect the training center, so don't come and see it soon." ”

Qin Xinhui hurriedly waved his hand, and just wanted to say something, but when he saw that Mr. Li's eyelids rolled, he snorted coldly and said, "This is a teaching center, and it is under the jurisdiction of the old man." Ding Lizheng, oh, Mayor Ding, the old man has said many times, don't let idle people and others come in and out at will, disturbing children's reading and literacy. ”

After speaking, he ignored it, walked over and pushed Ding Heishan, and then closed the door with a backhand, and then bolted the door again. Soon, the sound of children's recitations sounded in the room again: "If you don't teach, your father is at fault." If the teaching is not strict, the teacher will be lazy ........."

Ding Heishan and Qin Xin looked at each other, Ding Heishan looked at Feng Yunshan, and said with a flattering smile: "This old man has a stubborn temper, but he is a good hand at teaching children to read and write. The Holy King and the Prefect are not strange! ”

Feng Yunshan saw that Ding Heishan was so neglected that he couldn't come to the stage, and even helped the teacher to speak, and couldn't help but have a good impression of Ding Heishan, but the teacher didn't care about the world, and he was very satisfied with teaching.

However, thinking that there were only a few girls among the children he saw just now, he asked, "Mayor Ding, why are there only a few girls in the training center?" Didn't the government and the county education bureau say that boys and girls should be treated equally and that they should be charged for free? (To be continued.) )
