Although several rare heavy snowfalls in the south of the Yangtze River shrouded everything in the sky and earth in a thick layer of snow, there was a faint smell of fireworks in Wuchang City, which was not the smell of firecrackers during the New Year, but the peculiar smell emitted when the city burned.

At the end of the second year and the beginning of the third year of Xianfeng, the disaster of the war almost destroyed the whole of Wuchang, and the governor Chang Dachun first burned them down in order to prevent the houses outside the city from becoming a cover for the "Cantonese bandits" to dig tunnels. The fire burned for six days and nights, and many people outside the city died in the flames. Subsequently, after the "Cantonese bandits" seized the city, in order to coerce all the people in Wuchang City into the camp, with a strong momentum, but also in the evacuation of Wuchang, set fire to the city, although the evacuation was hurried and not strictly implemented, but the fire still burned for four or five days before it was extinguished, and at this time the buildings in the city were not three out of ten.

The snow may be able to hide everything in the world, but it can't hide the ruins and ruins of the city, and although it can cover all the filth, it still can't hide the choking smell of burning. At this time, although the war was long over, there were only a few civilians in the ruins, walking around in a blank and numb manner, or looking for something useful among the ruins.

"Hey, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the three towns, and now there are only tens of thousands of survivors, which is really a pity......"

Standing on the city wall, looking at the city wall around Wenchang Gate, which had been blown into several pieces, Jiang Zhongyuan sighed slightly, but shook his head and said.

"There are only so many people left, how can this wall be repaired?"

As the new Hubei envoy, Jiang Zhongyuan can be said to be at the time of the spring breeze, as the unsuccessful move, he is not born on the right path, relying on the establishment of group training, suppression of the bandits, since the "Guangdong bandits" uprising, he organized Chu Yong to Guangxi to participate in the war, and killed Feng Yunshan in the battle of Lingyidu. After that, he moved to Hunan and Hubei, and rose all the way from Qipin County, which was under the control of his family, to Hubei as an envoy, how could he be unhappy.

But now, in the face of this burned city, there are not one out of ten people, especially the broken city wall, but he can't find the slightest sense of pride, after all, after the "Cantonese bandits" military disaster, Hubei is always quiet, southeast Hunan Tongcheng, Chongyang, Jiayu, Puqi area by the "Cantonese bandits" encouraged by the "Cantonese bandits" and some people have risen one after another, although it is only the problem of ringworm scabies, but it must not be allowed to be big, if they let them capture the city, when the time comes, this unheated red top, may also arrive.

"Big brother, according to me, now the military situation is like fire, and it is directly in this city to repair the city, if anyone is unwilling, they will be punished for the crime of banditry, and they will be cut down directly by the river, you have been an official for so long, can you not know the court? Chang Dachun set fire to the city, burned more than 10,000 people, and how could the court investigate the slightest! As long as we defend this Wuchang City, it will be a contribution to the imperial court. ”

Jiang Zhongjun on the side saw the melancholy on the eldest brother's face, so he was able to worry about the eldest brother on the side.

"Second child, don't talk nonsense! You need to know the reason why trouble comes from the mouth! ”

Although he knew that Jiang Zhongjun was telling the truth, Jiang Zhongyuan still reminded him loudly that some things should be understood psychologically.

"Besides, Zhang Shiqing has already set off from Changsha and will soon be appointed as the governor of Huguang in Wuchang, so this kind of thing is still left to them to consider! As for our ......"

Rootless, rootless! This time, because he stayed in Wuchang and served as the envoy of Hubei, he didn't know how many people would be angry, and if he caused any trouble again, someone would make a break at that time, and Jiang Zhongyuan could not afford it.

"My lord, Wuchang County has fallen for bandits again......"

Jiang Zhongyuan's words had not yet fallen, but the urgent communication over there made Jiang Zhongyuan feel dizzy for a while.

"Wuchang County has fallen, what's going on? Could it be that the "Cantonese bandits" killed the horse pistol and ...... to the adults?"

The "Cantonese bandits" naturally did not kill the horse pistol, Xiang Rong was not defeated by the "Cantonese bandits", and went down to Wuchang County but only the remnants of the "Cantonese bandits" in Jiangbei, and for Jiang Zhongyuan, who only had 1,500 Chu Yong in his hands, when he was entangled in defending the empty city of Wuchang and recapturing Wuchang County, as the highest-ranking Hubei envoy in Hubei at this time, he received bad news one after another.

"On the thirteenth day of the first month, Qishui City was captured by thieves, Zhixian You Zhiliang was killed, Fourteen Qizhou was seized by thieves, the defending regiment was defeated without a fight, and sixteenth, Guangji Zhixian abandoned the city and fled......"

In the fire of the "Cantonese bandits" burning the city, only half of the remaining envoys and envoys signed and detained in the hall, one bad news after another made Jiang Zhongyuan's brows tighten, but in just a few days, the remnants of the "Cantonese bandits" in Huangzhou Mansion were cut off, and instead of abandoning Huangzhou like other "Cantonese bandits", they attacked in all directions in Huangzhou, relying on the prestige of the "Cantonese bandits" and relying on thousands of soldiers, and the soldiers were divided into two routes, they almost swept away Huangzhou in just a few days, and took a place under the prefecture. When he heard that the magistrate of Macheng had abandoned the city and fled, Jiang Zhongyuan slammed the teacup on the table to the ground.

"It should be killed, if it weren't for the guts of the local officials, how could the situation be like this!"

When the local officials flee from the bandits, they will naturally be investigated by the court, but the problem now is that as the Hubei Inspectorate, he needs to be responsible for the reality that the Huangzhou Mansion has almost all the bandits in just seven days, and he needs to give an explanation to the court, otherwise, the court will let him "confess".

After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Zhongyuan looked at Jiang Zhongjun sitting on the chair, although this Chu Yong was trained by him, but in the past few years, the war has all relied on his younger brother, although his younger brother has average articles, but he can be described as very brave on the battlefield, if it was not for his courage in Lingyidu, how could he have the opportunity to kill the "Cantonese bandit" puppet king Feng Yunshan.

"Loyalty, loyalty, obey orders!"

Father and son soldiers in battle, this sentence is true, Jiang Zhongyuan's three battalions of Chu Yong, Yong are all Xinning Township Party, most of the officials are students he taught when he was a teacher in Xinning, as for the three battalion officers are three younger brothers, it is this kind of hometown friendship, teacher affection and family affection that makes Jiang Zhongyuan's Chu Yong "Cantonese bandits" tear apart, all of them are brave and do not know how to retreat, and the reason is precisely because of this complex relationship.

"Humble duty!"

In this signing hall, there were only up and down and no brothers, and Jiang Zhongjun, who was ordered by the eldest brother, hurriedly stood up and stood respectfully.

"You immediately ordered two battalions of soldiers, from Hankou in Jiangbei to attack, the troops sent to Huangzhou, now, the remnants of the "Cantonese bandits" main force is trying to occupy the land of our Huangzhou, this Huangzhou capital city "Cantonese bandits" soldiers are only 2,000, if it goes well, you will be able to capture Huangzhou Mansion, and then ......."

When the time comes, I will explain to the court! But looking at his brother standing there, he added.

"In this way, in addition to the two battalions of Chu Yong, Li Peicheng of Hankou and the Thousand Five Regiment of Yong will also be transferred to you, second brother, you must take Huangzhou Mansion, after all, we ......"

Jiang Zhongyuan's words were not loud, but before he finished speaking, Jiang Zhongyuan immediately nodded and said.

"Big brother, I understand, you just sit in Wuchang and wait for the good news of the younger brother......"

After that, his voice was pressed again.

"Big brother, this matter is urgent, now that there is a thief in Huangzhou, the city wall of Wuchang City cannot be repaired......"

Jiang Zhongjun's words made Jiang Zhongyuan nod his head with deep understanding.

"You don't have to worry about Wuchang here, everything here is a brother, it's just that the arrows on this battlefield have no eyes, second brother, be careful!"

After some advice, after the second and third brothers left the escort hall, Jiang Zhongyuan sat on the chair, still with a sad face, now, he is worried about the safety of the second brother and the third brother, after all, after nearly two years of fighting with the "Yue bandits", he can be said to know the combat power of the "Yue bandits" very well, even if it is the so-called genuine "Yue bandits", with a thousand Chu Yong led by the second brother, he can also kill a draw, as for the thousands of bandits in Huangzhou Mansion, naturally there is no need to be afraid. Now Jiang Zhongyuan is more worried about the entanglement in officialdom.

"Will someone take the opportunity to impeach themselves? And how? ”

With this in his mouth, Jiang Zhongyuan silently picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and then raised his eyes to look at Liu Changyou, who was left in the signing hall, and asked.

"Zimo, now that the Huangzhou Mansion is almost all in the hands of thieves, what if someone in the DPRK takes the opportunity to impeach?"

Although Liu Changyou was a counselor at Jiang Zhongyuan's side, but the two were good friends, listening to Jiang Zhongyuan's inquiry, Liu Changyou thought for a moment and said,

"Minqiao, this bandit in Jiangbei is not appeased because of the pursuit of Rongjiangnan, if you don't write to the court, you will ......"

"No!"

Without waiting for Liu Changyou to finish speaking, Jiang Zhongyuan stretched out his hand to stop his words, although he was under the control of Xiang Rong when pursuing the Taiping Army, he was mentioned by Urtai, and Urtai and Xiang Rong were not in harmony, which was a matter known to everyone, but on the other hand, he knew very well that compared to Han Chen, they believed in Manchu more, and as a foreign minister, he would only get into trouble when the time came.

"Zimo, you and I have a shallow foundation, and at this time, we will only build a strong enemy, and we must not mention it again!"

Although he knew the reason, even in front of his close friends, Jiang Zhongyuan would not mention the "difference between the Manchus and the Hans" between the DPRK and China, and everyone knew and understood some things, but they must not be put on the table, just like this "difference between the Manchus and the Hans."

"Well, that's ......"

After realizing his mistake, Liu Changyou said after a little groaning.

"Then it's all up to Zhang Gong!"

The Zhang Gong in Liu Changyou's mouth naturally refers to the new governor of Huguang, Zhang Liangji, who was the governor of Hunan and admired him very much when Jiang Zhong originated in Changsha to assist in the defense.

"Well, that's true......"

Nodding, Jiang Zhongyuan thought for a moment and said again.

"But if you want Zhang Gong to speak for me, I'm afraid this Huangzhou will have to be taken! Otherwise, even if Zhang Gong tries his best to protect me, I'm afraid it will ......"
