Chapter 376: What Should Come (Second Update)

When I first entered the back garden of the governor's mansion, I was faced with a delicate and transparent rockery, which covered the spring color of the garden. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Info On one side of the rockery is a Jiangnan-style white-walled promenade. At the end of the corridor is a platform surrounded by jade railings, and when you look around, you suddenly see a green world. Pond, pavilion, mountain and building, all in the dense green bamboo weeping willow and pine and cypress shade, like smoke and fog, such as fairy like illusion, occasionally see the eaves corner of the pond, flickering and flickering, wonderful. It seems that there is an island in the pond, there is a pavilion on the island, the mandarin ducks play in the water, the double spirit crane soars, walk a few steps forward, is about to take a look carefully, but the weeping willows are obscured, the scenery changes, just like the jade man covers his face with a fan, and it is more and more inducing reverie.

"Emerald Garden! Sure enough, it lives up to its name! ā€

Although he can be regarded as having seen the world - Yu Tianjing has seen the luxury of the Eastern Prince's Mansion, but for Sun Maolin, who entered the Governor's Mansion for the first time, he still couldn't help but admire it.

Emerald Garden!

This is the name of the back garden of the Governor's Palace, which is the first Chinese garden in China to borrow Western garden concepts and combine them with traditional gardens in the south of the Yangtze River. It has always been praised by the outside world, and this back garden also has the name of the green garden.

"My lord, the original Cui Yuan was just a small lake in the ruins of the old times, most of them were destroyed by the fire, and later the Han Governor opened the mansion in Wuchang, and when Wuchang was rebuilt, in view of the insufficient area of the Governor's Mansion, it was only then that it was expanded, and then there was the Cui Garden!"

Of course, because the Sun Maolin next to him was wearing the official robe of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Zhang Sen, who was leading the way, explained as he walked, and he vaguely realized that Sun Maolin, who was visiting by the historian of the King of Edong, was very likely to be the eyeliner of Han Governor Yu in the Taiping Army.

"Lord Sun, this is the first time that Han Du has held a banquet in the Jade Garden to entertain guests!"

"It's really a blessing to be so appreciated by Han Du!"

Looking around, Sun Maolin was surprised:

"Where are we going now?"

Follow the corridor into another corridor, which is added to the surface of the lake, and there is a small island in the lake, which is not large, and is full of flowers and colors. Several ancient locust trees have a huge canopy. The sunlight shone faintly through the gaps in the trees, leaving a bright warmth and shaking off a piece of coolness. There are two or three nests of birds in the trees, and the old birds protect their chicks, flying in and out from time to time, adding a warm vitality. Surrounded by locust trees, there is a helmet-topped double-eaves hexagonal pavilion, there are already maids waiting in the pavilion, wine and food have also been placed on the stone table in the pavilion, two maids outside the pavilion are cooking hot dishes, and Zhu Yifeng is standing in the pavilion, seeing Sun Maolin and Zhang Sen coming, he smiled, and then greeted him.

"Cheng Desire, you and I haven't seen you for a long time! Quick, sit! ā€

"Handu, I ......"

This will Sun Maolin still don't know what Han Du thinks, and still puts himself in the position of an envoy, after all, there are outsiders here.

After inviting Sun Maolin to sit down, Zhu Yifeng raised his glass and said:

"Cheng Desire, there are no outsiders here, Bendu has been waiting for you for many years, and finally looks forward to your return! A glass of water and wine will wash you off. ā€

This glass of water and wine has actually revealed Sun Maolin's identity, Zhang Sen still doesn't understand, and hurriedly raises his glass and says:

"Today, Brother Sun was able to return home from the enemy camp, which is really gratifying, if it weren't for Brother Sun in the past few years, how could the younger brother have sent a lot of information to the bandits."

In the face of such hospitality, Sun Maolin said something more, hurriedly stood up and drank it all, sat down and said:

"Thank you for the kindness of Han Du, just a minister, a minister...... The minister thought that if the minister was in Nanjing, he might be able to play a greater role. ā€

The news came so suddenly that Sun Maolin himself couldn't even adapt to the change. He only came to Wuchang this time to buy grain, grass, guns and cannons according to what the king of the east said, but now Han Du means that he wants him to stay here.

"Cheng Yu,"

Shaking his head, Zhu Yifeng said:

"This matter was decided after my careful consideration, from the first month of this year, Yang Xiuqing immediately ordered Qin Rigang to organize a large army to attack the Jiangnan camp, if nothing else, Xiang Rong's Jiangnan camp must be difficult to support, once the external worries are lifted, the problem of the kings in Nanjing City will immediately break out, if you stay in Nanjing City, when you are in danger, it is very likely that your life will be lost in vain. In the past two years, Cheng Yu has been in the enemy camp, which can be described as a great merit and the governor, the merit of Cheng Yu, the governor, how can you forget? ā€

In the past two years, almost all the information about Nanjing was obtained through Sun Maolin, and it is precisely because of this that in the process of dealing with Yang Xiuqing, Zhu Yifeng will have the upper hand, of course, the more important point is that Yang Xiuqing has something to ask for, the Taiping army cannot do without Wuchang's muskets, artillery and gunpowder, and even Hubei's salt and rice. Although the Taiping army now occupies most of Anhui, its grain is still not self-sufficient, and the Lianghuai salt works that are close at hand are not under its control, so that Nanjing's salt and rice are still dependent on Wuchang.

Of course, this also made the governor's government have an extra way to make a fortune - cheap Nanyang rice and Hubei salt, which exchanged millions of wealth for the governor's house, and the tens of millions of taels of silver obtained by the Taiping army through the "vanguard" robbery were continuously flowing into Wuchang in this process.

"Lord, do you think that after the Jiangnan camp is defeated, they will be incomparable?"

Nodding, Zhu Yifeng said in a deep voice:

"This is very likely, after all, Hong Xiuquan has been forcibly enduring Yang Xiuqing in the past two years, in the past, the foreign enemy is current, they have to endure Yang Xiuqing's arbitrariness, once the Jiangnan camp is broken, Hong Xiuquan will definitely take the opportunity to launch it at that time, and then ......"

At that time, I am afraid that the entire city of Nanjing will immediately be bloody, and in another time and space, the "Tianjing Incident" is just after the Taiping army conquered the camp in the south of the Yangtze River.

"I don't know how many lives will be ruined by then!"

Sun Maolin sighed, and then he took a sip of wine.

"Cheng Yu, in this way, you first go and write a letter to Yang Xiuqing and tell him that you intend to stay here for a few months in order to lobby for the purchase of ironclad gunboats, and he will naturally not refuse when the time comes. Wait a month or two......"

"The ministers are arranged by the lord."

The maid poured a round of wine, perhaps because of her heavy thoughts, Sun Maolin's whole person looked a little depressed in the future. Zhu Yifeng, who could understand his mood, did not force it, and soon the dust washing banquet was over, and after sending Sun Maolin out, Zhu Yifeng returned to the study, and in the study, he picked up a piece of information from the north for a long time.

To be precise, it was intelligence from Henan, and the person in the intelligence was a person who made him remember it very deeply, and he could even say that he was ashamed.

"Zhao Ziyu!"

Reading this name, Zhu Yifeng's brows furrowed, originally he thought he had forgotten it, but when he saw this name again, that nameless anger suddenly surged into his heart.

"Zhao Ziyu!"

Closing his eyes, the boy who was a little submissive at the beginning was still flashing in his mind, what did he leave for himself? It's a shame!

Yes!

Although Zhang Yujie is not the wife she is marrying, she is her own woman after all, but in the end, she actually ...... was actually given to ...... by this villain

Originally, Zhu Yifeng thought that it would be possible to hear this name again until he hit Shaanxi in the future, and he only needed to send someone to solve the matter in private, but who would have thought that now this surnamed Zhao not only trained a Shaanxi Yong, but even took Tongguan from the Taiping army like a tiger's mouth, so that tens of thousands of Taiping troops who broke into the pass fell into a situation where they could not advance or retreat, and as for the hundreds of thousands of Taiping troops in Henan, they were even more leaderless.

I didn't see this kid have such ability!

Could that be why the woman chose him? Is he so unrecognizable?

Thinking of this, I naturally thought of that woman - Zhang Yujie!

Is that woman dead or alive now?

Although so much time has passed, whenever he thinks of that woman, Zhu Yifeng feels a kind of shame, and now after learning about Zhao Ziyu's situation, he naturally cares more and more about her life and death.

"Very good, you have now become a lackey of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so it is logical that Lao Tzu will kill you in the future."

It's not just about killing him!

In Zhu Yifeng's heart, he had even regarded the filial piety Zhao family as a dead person, and when the time came, not only Zhao Ziyu would not be able to live, but even if it was the Zhao family, how could he be good.

Sneer!

Zhu Yifeng looked at the information, looked at the three words of Zhao Ziyu, which seemed a little dazzling, and sneered.

"Realization makes you proud for a few days, wait until ......"

If not, send troops to Henan now?

Getting up and coming to the map, retracting his chaotic mind, Zhu Yifeng looked at the map and frowned and thought.

"Now Zeng Lichang is dead in Tongguan, the elite of the Henan Taiping Army is trapped in Shaanxi, and Henan is ......"

Staring at Henan on the map, Zhu Yifeng's brows became tighter and tighter, before, it was precisely because Zeng Lichang was blocking the Qing army in Henan that he made his side "two years without war", if the Taiping army in Henan failed, then the time came. When the Qing army chooses to be there as the main direction of attack?

Is it Wuchang? Or Nanjing?

If it is the former, then you have to consider defending against the enemy north of Henan. If it's the latter...... And in Yixun's eyes, between Wuchang and Nanjing, who is the biggest enemy?

The Taipings?

Apparently not!

Then when the time comes, he will most likely make himself an enemy!

"It seems that this good life of burying oneself in farming is over."

Yes!

Once the Qing army captures Henan and goes south in Henan, it means that they must be prepared, otherwise, the Qing army may even threaten Wuchang, and at that time, the place will be really turbulent!

"It seems that we must consider using troops against Henan!"

Although there was no information about the Qing army from the north, Zhu Yifeng still immediately made the decision to use troops in Henan. Although the cost of doing so was that in the future, the rebels would have to stop the Qing army for the Taipings.

"Hey, there's no way!"

It seems that he is helpless, but in fact, Zhu Yifeng has some expectations in his heart, the righteous army has been silent for almost two years, and it is time to show his sword. At this moment, the sound of communication sounded outside the door again, and the communication of the attendant interrupted Zhu Yifeng's thoughts.

"Han Du, this is an urgent call from Jiujiang!"

Jiujiang!

Could it be that Jiujiang is doing something?

Looking at the content of the telegram, Zhu Yifeng's brows suddenly rose sharply, and he muttered to himself between his lips.

"Break through the Jiangnan camp...... It's finally time to come! (To be continued.) )
