Chapter 516: Attacking Tianjing? Feng Yunshan had concerns
The day after the Midyear Festival, in the palace of the Holy King in the city of Guangzhou. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Feng Yunshan held his son, who had just been full moon, and paced back and forth. Feng Yunshan has officially named his son Feng Huishi, which means conquering the world, which shows that Feng Yunshan has decided to pass on the position of the son to this newborn son.
As for Feng Guifang and Cheng Lingbei, before the Midyear Festival, they had been escorted back to Guangzhou. Feng Yunshan did not blame Feng Huifang and Cheng Lingbei too much, he could only say that the enemy was too deliberate to conspire and could not prevent it.
For Feng Guifang, Feng Yunshan already felt guilty, so how could he blame him? And Cheng Lingbei, she is also out of kindness and wants to help Feng Guifang, plus she is her beautiful sister-in-law, her sister Cheng Lingnan has just given birth to a son for herself, so it is not easy to blame her.
It was Cheng Lingnan and her aunt who called her sister Cheng Lingbei, reprimanded her fiercely, and ordered her not to go anywhere in the future.
However, within two days, Feng Hui came to Feng Yunshan, saying that he wanted to go out to see the outside world, and it happened that the Ministry of Medical Education had a plan to send more than 100 teenagers to Prussia for further study, and he also wanted to sign up and go to Europe for a study tour.
Feng Yunshan was silent on the spot!
He realized that Feng Qifang might have felt that he was not close enough to him, and he might have been sad to pounce on his newborn brother every day recently, so he might be sad to make such a request directly. But he couldn't do anything, after all, although he felt guilty, he couldn't really treat him as his own son.
If there was no Feng Guishi's birth, it might be better, but with this biological son of his own, for himself, Feng Guifang's position is indeed embarrassing. Thinking about it, it would be better to agree to his request, let him go out to study, and broaden his horizons under the atmosphere of Europe, maybe let him find another way, but it is really not good, in the future, he has overseas colonies, which can help him lay down a fief, which is not bad.
So, on the day of the Midyear Festival, Feng Huifang paid homage to his mother Lian, took a pseudonym to conceal his identity, and together with more than 100 young people selected by the Holy Country, under the protection and leadership of several deacons of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he followed the Prussian general, arranged by the Prussian minister Karenway, to take a ship to Prussia via Hong Kong Island.
The head recalled the words that Feng Guifang said to himself with teary eyes when he left yesterday: "Father, Gui Fang doesn't understand why you don't like Gui Fang, but Gui Fang is outside, he will work hard, one day, Gui Fang will impress his father!" I also hope that my father will take care of his body, and he is gone! ”
After Feng Qifang finished speaking, he didn't look back and left, which made Feng Yunshan very distressed. At that moment, he even wanted to call back Feng Qifang to comfort him, but in the end, he still didn't move, and just sighed secretly in his heart.
Thinking about it now, it's still a little sad.
"Wow, wow, wow, wow, ......", Feng Qishi in his arms suddenly cried, Feng Yunshan suddenly felt a heat in his chest, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Bad thing, I actually urinated on Lao Tzu." At such a young age, do you know that you are angry for your brother? Lao Tzu is not for you! ”
Cheng Lingnan and the maid next to him hurriedly came over and picked up their son.
At this time, Zuo Zongtang and Fan Ruzeng walked over one after the other, under the guidance of Wang Minyun.
"Holy King, there is a great victory on the front line of Zhejiang!" Zuo Zongtang and Fan Ruzeng said in unison, happy and happy.
"Oh? What a big victory? Occupy Hangzhou? Feng Yunshan asked.
"Yu Shengwang, this time you can not only capture Hangzhou City, but also the entire Zhejiang and Southern Jiangsu!" Zuo Zongtang, who has always been steady, was a little hurried at this moment, and he was a little merit-like, and talked eloquently: "More than ten days ago, the soldiers of the capture army successively captured Ningbo Mansion and Shaoxing Mansion in Zhejiang Province and Suzhou Mansion and Changzhou Mansion in southern Jiangsu, and broke Huzhou Mansion seven days ago, and five days ago, the Eighth Division, the Ninth Division, the Third Division, the Fourth Division, and the First Division led by Shi Dakai, the King of Righteousness, nearly 50,000 soldiers broke through Hangzhou City in one fell swoop. ”
Subsequently, the 30,000 soldiers of the 8th Division, the 9th Division, and the 3rd Division, under the leadership of their respective division commanders, attacked Jiaxing Mansion and marched into Ningguo, Huizhou, Chizhou and other places, preparing to occupy most of the areas south of the Yangtze River. At that time, except for the Taiping Mansion occupied by Hong Xiuquan's Taiping Army, Jiangning Mansion in Jiangsu, and Zhenjiang Mansion occupied by the Qing Demon, the rest of the entire Jiangnan Province will be controlled by our holy country. ”
After speaking, Zuo Zongtang suggested again: "Holy King, it is better to take the opportunity to capture all the Jiangning City and Zhenjiang Mansion in one fell swoop, take the entire Heavenly Kingdom into your pocket, occupy the entire Jiangnan region, and stand by crossing the river with the Qing Demon, which will be a great boost to my Holy Kingdom, and also a serious blow to the rule of the Qing Demon!" ”
Feng Yunshan pondered for a moment and expressed the concerns in his heart: "This king doesn't want to attack Tianjing City directly!" After all, this king used to be the southern king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and directly sending troops to attack Tianjing would make the original Guangxi brothers in the Holy Kingdom have pimples and rifts in their hearts. ”
Fan Ruzeng on the side said: "Holy King, but right now, this Taiping Mansion and Jiangning Mansion are like two thorns and halfs, blocking the progress of my Holy Kingdom, and it won't work if you don't pull it out." I believe that those old Guangxi brothers can figure it out. It's a big deal, let's salute first and then soldiers, first surrender to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, if not, then give some color to see, let them know that it is powerful, maybe they will descend to the Holy Kingdom. For those old brothers in Guangxi, as well as the Heavenly King, you can choose a place on Moss Bay Island or Ryukyu Island and let them spend their old age in peace. ”
Fan Ruzeng is worthy of being Feng Yunshan's minion, and in the tone of his voice, he has completely ignored Hong Xiuquan as the king of heaven, and completely considers it from Feng Yunshan's point of view.
"No! Now that the Qing Demon has not been destroyed, how can our Holy Kingdom take the initiative to attack the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom because it cannot fully occupy the south of the Yangtze River? In that case, even if you capture the kingdom of heaven, you will lose the loyalty of the original Guangxi brothers. will also let the Qing demon sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman. This king can't do such a stupid thing! In Jiangning Mansion and Taiping Mansion, the Holy Kingdom cannot take the initiative to attack. Unless the Taiping army provokes trouble to attack the king, they must not be touched. We can't afford to lose our name and righteousness, because of the small, because of the big. Feng Yunshan decided.
Zuo Zongtang and Fan Ruzeng could only nod.
"By the way, how did King Yi's Taiping army arrange?" Feng Yunshan then asked.
"Yusheng King, King Yi is currently in Hangzhou, leading the Yiyi Division to garrison Hangzhou, Huzhou, Jiaxing and other places, and Li Guanlong is leading the B Fourth Division, scattered and stationed in Hangzhou, Suzhou, Changzhou and other places." Zuo Zongtang replied.
And Fan Ruzeng is the intelligence chief, but he talked about another thing: "Holy King, in addition to the Yiyi Division, in the area of Wuxi, Changzhou, there are still 12,000 Taiping soldiers who defected to the Yiwang, and they are currently serving as local garrisons to defend against the attack of the Qing Demon. In the area of Ningbo and Shaoxing Mansions, more than 10,000 tenant rebels led by Huang Chunsheng, a tenant from Yuyao, also defected to the Holy Kingdom and assisted the B14 Brigade in garrisoning Ningbo and Shaoxing. But now that Huang Chunsheng has been appointed as the magistrate of Yuyao County, this tenant rebel army is unled, and it also needs the Holy King's ruling on how to accept the adaptation. ”
Feng Yunshan groaned for a while and asked, "This king expects that there will be many displaced people and the original rebels in the other state capitals, all of whom want to defect to the Holy Kingdom and join the captive army. At present, most of the areas south of the Yangtze River have been basically pacified, but in order to prevent the local squires and regimental training from colluding with the remnants of the demon forces and raising troops to rebel against the troubled places, the state capitals have to arrange some local garrisons. But this king thinks, my holy country should absorb the lessons of the Qing demon, and the local garrison should be stationed, but it should not be too much, the key is to also guide the local people, so that the people can get the benefits of the holy country, support the holy country from the bottom of their hearts, and let the rebels have no one to follow, so that there can be long-term peace and stability. ”
"The Holy King is wise!" Zuo Zongtang and Fan Ruzeng, as well as Wang Minyun, who was serving on the side, praised in unison after listening to Feng Yunshan's words.
"Ahem, you people, before the king finished speaking, he began to pat himself on the back!" Jiangnan was victorious, Feng Yunshan was in a very good mood, and he made a joke.
He saw the three of them staring at him, and then continued: "Soldiers should be fine, not too many!" The reason why the Qing demons were defeated like a mountain was not because of their small number of troops, but because the Qing Demons had the largest number of troops in the world today. The key lies in the lack of troops. Even the Eight Banners, which is known as the most elite, were defeated in a battle. What is the use of such troops? It's just a military salary, and it's better to let them return to their hometowns, and they can also farm and farm. ”
