The next day, most of the morning, Feng Yunshan struggled to get out of bed, looking at the side, it was already empty, the wonderful person who fought with him three times last night had already left.

Smelling the surroundings, it is also full of Su Sanniang's body fragrance.

"This goblin! Hurt Lao Tzu's back pain! Feng Yunshan rubbed his lower back, feeling that his legs were a little weak, and couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself, in the future, he couldn't let this goblin seduce him, and he would take it endlessly.

Three times a night, Feng Yunshan, who is no longer young, is indeed a little unbearable.

After breakfast, Zeng Guanlan, the vice minister of the Ministry of General Affairs, came to report that an uninvited guest from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had arrived in Guangzhou and asked to see the Holy King.

"The Holy King is Zeng Zhaoyang, who was recently crowned the prime minister, and his actual position is the right prime minister of the East Palace. It is estimated that it should be sent by the East King, and it is not clear what the purpose is. After more than half a year of honing the Yongzhou Mansion, Zeng Guanlan has become more and more calm.

"Whatever he wants! Yang Xiuqing is nothing more than to win over this king. By the way, Guanlan, what is the current situation between the Taiping Army and the Manchus? Recently, he has been busy with the construction of the basic industry of the Holy Country, and Feng Yunshan asked Zeng Guanlan, who had not been in Guangzhou for a short time, to collect information from all over the country with Fan Ruzeng, so he asked this question.

Intelligence collection was mainly carried out by Fan Ruzeng under the command of his detailed brigade, and he also served as the deputy minister of police, using the channels of police department personnel to transmit information, summarized it to Zeng Guanlan, who screened it and then submitted it to the Holy King Feng Yunshan. Of course, if Fan Ruzeng's meticulous works have major news, they can also be directly sent to Feng Yunshan as soon as possible.

"Holy King, it is still generally the same now, the Taiping army is divided into the Northern Expedition and the Western Expedition. Because our fine work is Liangguang and Munan people, can not speak the northern accent, so the intelligence in the north is not ideal, the news of the Taiping army's northern expedition is not very clear, but in the Tianjing City in the fine work learned that at the end of May, Qin Rigang led the main force of the Taiping army to cross the Yellow River, after occupying Wen County, surrounded Huaiqing, and is still holding with the Qing army inside and outside Huaiqing City. ”

Zeng Guanlan kept the current situation in mind, and didn't look at any notes, and said casually: "The Taiping Army's Northern Expedition advanced too fast in the early stage, and the current strength of the army is declining. Hu Yihuang and Zhang Zipeng, the eighth commander of the right side of the palace, led 7,000 troops to garrison Anqing, Lai Hanying, deputy prime minister of Xiaguan, and Tang Zhengcai, a water maker, led 10,000 troops to besiege Nanchang City, and the other 5,000 troops were led by Tianyangshu to attack the surroundings of Nanchang. At present, Fengcheng, Ruizhou, and Raozhou have been occupied, and they are being captured in the direction of Leping and Jingdezhen. ”

"And the army of Qing demons gathered in several places. The first is the Huaiqing area, which intercepted the Taiping Northern Expeditionary Army, with about 50,000 troops, most of which are northern cavalry. The second is the Jiangbei camp, which is led by Qi Shan, the head of the Qing demon, with a strength of nearly 20,000 troops, half cavalry and half infantry. The third is the Jiangnan battalion, led by Xiang Rong, the head of the Qing demon, with an original 50,000 troops, and then successively gathered 20,000 Qing troops in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, more than 70,000 Qing troops, stationed in the east and south of Nanjing, most of them are infantry troops. ”

Zeng Guanlan seemed to have put a lot of effort into carefully grasping the movements of the Qing troops. He saw that Feng Yunshan was fascinated by what he heard, and then said: "Fourth, in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, that is, in the area of Yuezhou, Wuchang, Jiujiang and Nanchang, the Qing Demon gathered 30,000 troops, most of which were local regimental training, and there was also the Yuezhou Water Division formed by Zeng Demon Tou. Fifth, in the area of Fuzhou, I can't imagine a small province of Fujian, the green battalion has a large number of troops, and the demon head Fujian governor Wang Yide is allowed to use Li Tingyu, the pre-governor of the Qing demon who has been in the army for a long time, and the dismissal of the family is the land governor of Fujian, and mobilized more than 30,000 people from the green battalion and regimental training to defend the Fuzhou city, so that our captives cannot capture Fuzhou City. However, the 1st Division of the Captive Army has captured the two prefectures of Yanping Mansion and Jianning Mansion, and at present, only Fuzhou Mansion, Funing Mansion, Shaowu Mansion and the northern part of Jianning Mansion have not been occupied by our Capture Army, and the rest are in the pocket of the Holy King! ”

"Excellent! There were more than 30,000 Qing troops near Fuzhou City, and that Li Tingyu seemed to have heard that he was a powerful character, so he should not forcibly attack the city for the time being. first occupied all the state capitals around Fuzhou Mansion, and finally took the time to clean up Fuzhou and see how they coped! Feng Yunshan gritted his teeth and said.

He remembered that after Zeng Guofan fled to Yuezhou, he didn't know what to do, so he asked: "After the Battle of Changsha, Zeng Demon Tou fled to Yuezhou, what is the movement?" ”

"Back to the Holy King, Zeng Demon returned to Yuezhou, and was ferocious, frantically expanding his troops, quickly recruiting more than 20,000 troops from Yuezhou, Pingjiang, Linxiang, Jianli, Lizhou and other places, expanding the force to nearly 30,000 people. Among them, the sailors were expanded to 18,000 people, and they searched for warships on a large scale, as if they wanted to occupy the Yangtze River. Zeng Guanlan said with a smile.

Huh? Feng Yunshan couldn't imagine that this Zeng Guofan was like an unbeatable little powerhouse, and he was really defeated and fought repeatedly. After being defeated by the captive army all the way to Hengzhou and Changsha, he retreated to Yuezhou and was able to recruit troops on a large scale.

"How can Demon Tou Zeng recruit so many troops? Could it be that the demon head didn't need to pay for recruiting troops? Feng Yunshan asked curiously.

"Holy King, the Qing Demon Soldiers naturally want to pay their salaries. And Zeng Demon Head, but he is a very hot person, he will be in the territory of Yuezhou Prefecture in the surrounding states and counties of the gentry all forced a showdown to raise nearly half of the family property, there are dissatisfied, his subordinate Xiang Yong, directly searched the house, and then set the fire to burn it, and slandered that we were the captive army and the Taiping army. It seems that we occupied Changsha City, forcing this Zeng demon head not lightly, and his eyes were red-eyed, and some dogs jumped over the wall in a hurry. Zeng Guanlan chuckled.

What the? Zeng Guofan, who was a landlord class, actually forcibly robbed the property of the local squires in order to recruit soldiers? Feng Yunshan couldn't help but be surprised! However, after turning Yang, in this way, this Zeng Guofan would lose the support of the local squire. And Zeng Guofan, who lost the support of the local squires, could no longer become a fierce man who supported half of the Qing Dynasty in history.

This Zeng Guofan was finally forced into chaos by himself. I don't know if it was his own idea, or the idea of accepting some of the generals, but it can only be said that it was just a very bad idea. There is no impermeable wall in the world, even if it is framed on someone else's head, sooner or later, those local squires will know the truth of the matter, and at that time, Zeng Guofan will lose his strongest support and become a fish without water.

With a long breath, Feng Yunshan asked Zeng Guanlan to bring Zeng Zhaoyang of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to meet him.

"Zeng Zhaoyang, the right prime minister of the East Palace, meets the seven thousand years old King of the South!" A man in his thirties dressed as a teacher with a yellow scarf on his head appeared in front of Feng Yunshan, and immediately knelt down and bowed to worship.

The corners of Feng Yunshan's mouth twitched, Zeng Zhaoyang and himself are also old acquaintances, from the Jintian Uprising, he assisted himself in writing all kinds of texts, spread to the Quartet, and later after Yang Xiuqing took power, he saw Zeng Zhaoyang read and hyphenation, so he recruited him as a cronie.

This time, Zeng Zhaoyang, who had a good relationship with him, was specially sent here, and there must be something important. However, judging from Zeng Zhaoyang's title just now, Feng Yunshan felt a little bottom in his heart: he still called himself the King of the South, obviously, he wanted to return to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

"Bold Zeng Zhaoyang! What a nonsense! Zeng Guanlan, who had a plate, saw that the opportunity was wrong, and hurriedly shouted: "This is the Holy King of the Holy Kingdom, not the King of the South!" (To be continued.) )
