Feng Yunshan also received the news of the Taiping Army soldiers of the Northern Expedition at about the same time as Yang Xiuqing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Even if Feng Yunshan doesn't like Qin Rigang very much, he still wants to save him and let him lead the troops in Liaodong, it is best to turn Liaodong upside down and let the Manchus take care of one or the other.

Even, even Zuo Zongtang admired Feng Yunshan's insidiousness, of course, what came out of his mouth naturally became the Saint King's wisdom and ingenuity. Feng Yunshan also thought so, because Feng Yunshan knew that the Manchu Qing Dynasty had always regarded the Northeast, especially the land of Shengjing, as the foundation of the Manchus.

Not only when the three feudatories rebelled, the Manchu nobles and even Kangxi thought about a big deal to withdraw to Guannai, but the rest of the later Xinhai Revolutions, and even the last emperor established the puppet Manchukuo with the support of Yueben, have always had this kind of thought, that is, Guannai is the foundation of their Manchus. Therefore, having this group of Northern Expeditionary Army in Liaodong is like a dagger piercing the heart of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it will never be happy if it is not resolved. At the very least, there will be less pressure on your side.

But the more this is the case, the more he wants to expand his territory, take advantage of your illness, and ask for your life, Feng Yunshan has heard a lot of this. What's more, the same is true from history, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had a chance, but there was internal strife, cannibalism suffered heavy losses, and it also caused division, so that the Manchu Qing Dynasty survived, dragged on for a few years, and recovered. Of course, I will not let the tragedy of history repeat itself.

Thinking of this, Feng Yunshan ordered people to invite Zuo Zongtang and Lu Shunde from the General Staff and his staff Wang Minyun to discuss the current war strategy of the captured army.

Zuo Zongtang and Lu Shunde are both still deputy chiefs of general staff of the General Staff of the Capture Army, so they naturally want to come over to participate in the discussion, and Wang Minyun, since he took refuge in himself, Feng Yunshan has always let him be familiar with the Capture Army and several departments under the Saint King's Palace, and now it has been almost two or three months, so he is ready to let him be by his side and give advice.

For this Wang Minyun, Feng Yunshan still listens to expectations. The reason is that in the later history of Feng Yunshan, this person's imperial studies are very famous, and he transformed the scriptures, and carried out the transformation of the scriptures of the Hunan army's faction of "applying the scriptures to the application", integrating the scriptures, and applying the scriptures to the politics in reality.

Wang Minyun's imperial science is to set things right in the troubled times, and the second is to seek the road of prosperity in the turbid world, and to use the royal road to turn the society into "governing the world".

However, in history, Zeng Guofan, whom he valued, did not reuse him, but valued his Sushun, but he quickly became a Taoist, and he could never become a leader. Even when Yuan Datou ascended the throne and became emperor, he recruited him, so Feng Yunshan recruited him, and he also needed such a platform, and the two sides hit it off.

After the three arrived, Feng Yunshan ordered Liu Shengbang to lead the palace guards to guard the gate, inform everyone of the situation in the north, and then asked Zuo Zongtang, who knew the situation best, to introduce the situation around the Holy Kingdom.

Zuo Zongtang shook his head, got up and walked to the "Complete Map of the World" compiled during the Qianlong period hanging there, and said on the map: "Holy King, the current situation is very good for my holy country!" ”

"On the eastern sea, the naval divisions of the captives occupy Moss Bay, Ryukyu and Jeju Islands, as well as the small islands in Liaodong, forming an encirclement of the Manchus, so that our captives can attack the coastal areas of the Manchus from the sea at any time.

"In the east of the Fujian area, only Fuzhou Mansion and Funing Mansion are still in the hands of the Qing Demon, the west and south are occupied by the soldiers of my capture army, the entire Fuzhou Funing Mansion has been strategically surrounded by my capture army, Fuzhou City has been besieged for nearly half a year, and the Qing Demon in the city must not have much food. In addition, judging from the signs of the Manchu court's transfer of troops, it was no longer able to send troops to rescue. According to Zuo's judgment, it should be that the Manchu court has given up the Fu key. As long as this news is publicized to the defenders in Fuzhou City, not to mention surrender, their intentions to defend the city will definitely be in chaos. Our captive army can directly go to the south of Zhejiang, completely separate and encircle the entire Fuzhou Prefecture, then Fuzhou City can be forced to surrender, or it can be attacked and taken down. ”

Feng Yunshan listened to Zuo Zongtang's analysis and nodded, it seemed that there was such a possibility. Nowadays, this situation has not appeared in history, there is no reference, their innate advantages have been lost, or listen to the analysis of the cattle of this era.

"In the central region, in the area of Xixi and Muguang, our captive army has steadily occupied the two cities of Nanchang and Changsha, and Jingdezhen and Dexing have also been occupied by our captive army, and the Holy King has also specially dispatched two second-class brigades to garrison. Although the northwest of the city is occupied by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and it is no longer possible to expand its power, it is enough for us to occupy the porcelain production area and the copper mining area. The grain produced by the paste is even more emboldened by our holy country. At present, the only hidden danger is that Zeng Guofan in Yuezhou, who is still training land divisions and sailors in the area of Yuezhou City and Dongting Lake. Now that our captives have gained a foothold in the south of the country, it is time to attack. ”

"The west, Guangxi has been fully occupied. Xiangxi and Guizhou and other places, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and it is very laborious and thankless to want to occupy them. And Yunan, because of the large number of copper mines, a month ago, the Holy King had ordered the General Staff to order Li Kaifang to lead the soldiers of the Second Division from Nanning to attack Yunan, while occupying the copper mines in the east and north of Yunan, while opening up the passage to the land of Sichuan and Shu, and by the way, Guizhou was also encircled. Once Yunan and Shu were taken by our Holy Kingdom, Guizhou became an enclave of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and with a little inducement, it would naturally surrender without a fight. ”

Zuo Zongtang finished talking in one breath about the surrounding situation of the entire Holy Kingdom bordering the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Chao Feng Yunshan saluted again and returned to his seat.

Feng Yunshan took over and said: "Now the Qing demon is weak, Liaodong has the Taiping Army's Northern Expedition soldiers to attack and harass, Anman's northern part is contained by the Taiping Western Expeditionary Army, and Jiangsu's Zhejiang area is Jiangning and Zhenjiang and other places are in a stalemate with the Qing Demon's Jiangnan and Jiangbei camps. In addition, our captive army can also put some pressure on the Qing demon from time to time, and Yunnan, Fujian, Zheqi and the coastal areas of Shandong Zhili are all about to occupy and harass. Because of this, this king decided to continue to march to expand the territory of the Holy Kingdom and weaken the Qing demons. Tell the king, "How do you march into the army?" ”

The first to speak was Lu Shunde, who was the most senior: "Holy King, judging from the information you told just now, and the analysis of the Deputy Chief of General Staff Zuo, Lu believes that it is necessary to send troops to Zhejiang as soon as possible, and to send troops to the northern area to occupy these areas in front of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom." ”

Lu Shunde was not polite to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom at all. Also, he was originally born in the Heaven and Earth Society, and he followed Luo Outline to join the Taiping Army, and he was not interested in the worship of God at all.

Feng Yunshan nodded, agreed, and turned his head to look at Zuo Zongtang and Wang Minyun.

Zuo Zongtang pondered slightly, looked at the map, and said: "Holy King, as Deputy Chief of General Staff Lu said, sending troops to Zheqi and Beibei, Zongtang also thinks that it is necessary to occupy northern Hunan and eastern Sichuan, and after Li Kaifang captures southern Yunnan, he will open up the banks of the Yangtze River in Sichuan and Shu and occupy the upper reaches of the Yangtze River waterway, and at that time, the entire Guizhou will be surrounded and forced to surrender to Guizhou." Moreover, you can further conquer the country of abundance, this is a big granary, densely populated, according to Zong Tang to consult the Manchu classics, the entire Siqi, there are more than 30 million people, equivalent to the population of four or five Guangxi land, it is really a huge tax and military source of land. Don't miss it! ”

Feng Yunshan's eyes lit up, yes, the land of Sichuan and Shu has always been a land with abundant population and food, and there is no room for loss.

At this time, the last remaining Wang Minyun stood up, saluted Feng Yunshan, pointed to the top of the East China Sea Ryukyu on the map, and said loudly: "Holy King, Min Yun has thought carefully from this rescue of the Northern Expeditionary Taiping Army, our Holy Kingdom must vigorously develop the Sailors, especially the Maritime Sailors. Holy King, look. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Minyun pointed to the land of Yuben and Korea on the map, and said: "This Korean country, the country is small, and it has always been a great Ming, the Holy King can send an army to smash its capital, force the Li clan of Korea to break with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and regard the Holy State as the suzerain." ”
