At least, for Chen Duan, when the rebels entered the city, he was full of dissatisfaction with the so-called rebels, and he never thought that he would one day enter the shogunate of the rebel marshal.

But now, he is a member of the political affairs department of the Wuchang Han Governor's Mansion, in fact, this is not strange, who is the head of the political affairs department Lin Zhiping is his close friend, when he was in Huangzhou, he had invited him to enter the scene, but he was repeatedly rejected by him, until he captured Wuchang, he was invited to the scene.

This is not to say that Chen Duan thinks that it has been done now, but because through a period of observation, he has seen that there are indeed differences between this righteous army and the Cantonese bandits. In addition, he is not like a rogue, plundering everywhere, but every time he seizes a land, he sets up an official government and levies taxes, in his opinion, this is the precursor to the seizure of the world.

People are always realistic, almost in the Han Dynasty Governor's Mansion to open Wuchang to set up a mansion, after receiving a letter from a friend again, Chen Duan left his wife and son to Wuchang and entered the Governor's Mansion. As for the Great Han Governor's Mansion was established after the Great Marshal Strange Soldiers seized Wuchang, it naturally took over all the power in Hubei, and set up four departments: military orders, military affairs, staff officers, and political affairs.

In the last few days, Chen Duancheng has been thinking about how to adjust the setting of the Governor's Mansion so that it can more easily govern a province so that he can make long-term plans in the future.

"I just don't know when the Metropolitan will have time?"

Again, Chen Duan turned his attention to the hall of the Governor of Dadu, which was once the official hall of the Governor of Huguang, although the public hall was open, but in the distance outside the door, several guards stood with guns and blocked the listening of others.

“…… Jingzhou's Eight Banners, what's the news? ”

Raising his eyes to look at Zhang Sen in front of him, Zhu Yifeng asked with some concern, in the whole of Hubei, the place with the most soldiers is Jingzhou, and there are nearly 10,000 Eight Banner soldiers in Jingzhou, and now that An Lu has taken it, most of Hubei will also fall into his own hands, and there can be no movement on the Jingzhou side.

"Back to the Metropolitan Governor, in addition to recruiting 5,000 brave people to defend the city, there is no new news in the city except for the successive closures of the city......

Zhang Sen's answer made Zhu Yifeng's brows frown slightly, in the system of the governor's mansion, Zhang Sen is an outsider to some extent, and the reason why this outsider was able to enter Zhu Yifeng's eyes was all because of his suggestion in Wuchang - Ling Hanyong killed Chu Yong and Xiangyong.

On that day, that is, at Zhang Sen's suggestion, nearly 4,000 Chu Yong and Xiangyong were killed outside the city, and until now, Zhu Yifeng remembers the 4,000 head melon seeds he saw when he entered the city - braids tied upside down and hung on the city wall. The shock was far more than cutting off a few heads, and even now, he occasionally thought of the shocking scene - thousands of heads and melon seeds were hanging from the city wall with their braids, and even the city wall could see a little blood.

At the beginning, Zhu Yifeng thought of cutting off Zhang Sen's head with a knife and tying him and the four thousand heads to the city wall.

But just as Lin Zhiping said, if there were no 4,000 heads, how could the cavalry battalion control Wuchang with hundreds of people, and besides, with these bloody thousands of heads, it would naturally be much easier to do things in the future. It was with these 4,000 heads that Hanyang and Hankou took the initiative to open the city, and even De'an Mansion was the same. It is not that they were frightened by the "thirst for killing" of the rebels, but more importantly, they saw the price of stubborn resistance.

As for the gentry from all over the country, they also took the initiative to cooperate, just as they cooperated with the "government" at the beginning, those thousands of heads, let people see the end of stubborn resistance, and when they were out of reach, for them, good cooperation is undoubtedly the best choice.

Of course, maybe Zhu Yifeng can spare Zhang Sen's life, but it is impossible to release this "killing god" back into the army, otherwise, who knows what chaos will happen to him in the future, but where to put this ruthless person?

In the end, Zhu Yifeng thought of another possibility -- let him engage in intelligence work, perhaps this kind of profession is more suitable for a ruthless person like him.

Not to mention, this can be regarded as a crooked fight, this ten years of cold windows have not been admitted to the show, but with the advantage of reading and literacy, the guy who has been on the dock all the year round is also quite talented in doing intelligence, but it is only two months of hard work, and he has built a coherent Hubei intelligence network with the help of the local water and land wharves, which also impresses Zhu Yifeng, of course, more importantly, he occupies the middle reaches of the Yangtze River and has no intention of cutting off the shipping route, so that with the resumption of shipping, under the center, With the help of the boat gang, Zhang Sen was able to build an intelligence network for the governor's office in the shortest possible time.

"What is the movement of the Manchu side in the north?"

"Back to the governor, the Qing court has appointed Zeng Guofan in Hunan to recruit ten battalions of Xiangyong, and lead them into Yuezhou, and transfer Yong training from Guizhou and other places to prevent our army from entering Hunan ......"

Zeng Guofan!

Hearing that this famous figure in history actually went to Yuezhou, Zhu Yifeng's expression was suddenly shocked, maybe for others, Zeng Guofan is just a scholar, at most he is the former waiter of the Ministry of Rites, the general office of a provincial regimental training, but for Zhu Yifeng, who understands history, he knows how powerful this person is.

This so-called "minister of Zhongxing" almost turned the tide and saved the Manchu Qing Dynasty from peril, it was he who exterminated the Taiping army, but now, he did not face the Taiping army, but carried it with himself in Yuezhou.

Could this be the change of history?

Thinking like this in his heart, Zhu Yifeng walked to the map, if you say that what is the biggest difference between this court and the past? I'm afraid it's a few maps posted on the wall, in addition to a few maps of the Yangtze River basin in English, there are also two maps of Huguang, which were drawn by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, although they are not standard, but they are barely usable.

"Huangzhou, Wuchang, Hanyang, De'an, Anlu ......"

Looking at the five prefectures on the map, these five prefectures occupy almost half of Hubei, and they are also the richest places in Hubei, and now they are all under their control, and where does the Qing court control?

"Xiangyang Mansion, Xunyang Mansion, Yichang Mansion, Shinan Mansion, Jingzhou Mansion, Jingmen Prefecture ......"

After noting down the places on the non-standard map, Zhu Yifeng turned to another map in English, and although the map was as far as Yichang and only showed the route along the river, he could still see on the map that Yuezhou was on the bank of the Yangtze River, cutting off the road up the river to Jingzhou.

"Yuezhou, Jiujiang ......"

These two places respectively deployed Hunan and Jiangxi regimental training, and the two places cooperated with each other, which just cut off the possibility of their expansion along the river, but the Jiujiang side was not afraid, after all, it had been completely eroded by the Taiping army. The only thing that worries people is Yuezhou.

"Who said that the Manchu government is full of mediocrity......

Staring at the map, Zhu Yifeng thought to himself.

"Ten battalions, that is, five thousand, the offense is insufficient, and the defense is more than enough, that is, in the short term, there is no need to consider the threat of Xiangyong......"

"Dadu Governor, this Xiang Yong, after all, is Xiang Yong, after all, the Zeng family is the general office of the Hunan regiment training, if there is no Qing court's will, it is bound to not be able to lead troops out of Hunan Province, from the humble point of view, Yuezhou Xiang Yong, not to be afraid......"

Zhu Yifeng frowned, then shook his head and said.

"You don't understand, for us, these five thousand Xiangyong in Yuezhou are just a killing move."

"What a trick!"

Zhang Sen may not understand, but after Lin Zhiping saw the map, he immediately praised it repeatedly.

"Look at this map, my lord! Hubei has many rivers and rivers, except for the Shinanfu is not navigable, the other provinces are either along the river, or along the river, as long as the boats and boats are sufficient, our army can be based on Wuchang, to the north can be along the Han River, to seize Xiangyang, Xunyang, into Shaanxi Xing'an Mansion, to the west, or along the Yangtze River to take Jingzhou, seize Yichang, the army to force Sichuan, if the use of troops, when this road is the most dangerous, and it is different from the regimental courage or surrender or scatter, if our army attacks the city, Jingzhou nearly 10,000 soldiers are bound to defend to the death, and Zeng Guofan to Yuezhou stationed, will fall into our army in a dilemma! ”

Lin Zhiping's exclamation made Zhu Yifeng nod thoughtfully.

"But no, if I abandon the benefits of the river, attack and seize Jingzhou with Anlu, and take Jingzhou with 10,000 defenders, it is bound to need to mobilize more than 20,000 troops, and then consider logistics and other issues, when the time comes, our 30,000 righteous army, seven or eight out of ten will be used in Jingzhou, and then the rear will naturally be empty, and when the time comes, if Zeng Guofan is like the Taiping army, come down the river......"

At that time, it will not be as simple as losing more than gains, and he may even become a lost dog, as for the land of the five mansions that he has just taken, I am afraid that it will also instantly change the banner of the king of the city.

Maybe Zeng Guofan doesn't have the ability to "sneak attack" himself now, but he is not afraid of 10,000, he is afraid of what if, if he takes this risk, what should he do? What's more, this person is a name, and the tree is a shadow, in front of Zeng Guofan, Zhu Yifeng can not dare to hold it up at all.

"Governor, what now?"

The Metropolitan Governor's worries made Zhang Sen take a few serious glances at the map, he really didn't expect so much, thinking about it, there was indeed such a possibility.

"What to do ......"

Staring at the map, Zhu Yifeng spit out two words slowly!

"Training!"

This is probably the best choice at the moment, since they have blocked their own way of expansion, they have just seized the time to train their troops.

"The top priority is to train the troops, since they don't give us a chance to fight, then let's train the soldiers first! As long as we train our soldiers well, in this world, I won't let me take them! (To be continued.) )
