Although the news of hundreds of thousands of Taiping troops conquering Jiangxi came from time to time from the bottom of the river, for the people of Wuchang, the war in the outside world did not seem to have much impact on Wuchang - in fact, after Wuchang was occupied by the righteous army, Wuchang, which had been burned to the ground, slowly returned to its former prosperity. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

More and more ships on the wharf of the new river, the appearance of the mast sail like a forest, it shows the prosperity of this place, this time, a grain ship is constantly transporting rice grain out of Hubei, transported to Jiujiang, handed over to the Taiping army at the wharf of Jiujiang, although this kind of grain is transported out of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, but the resumption of commerce and trade, Jianghang, but Wuchang slowly regained its vitality.

"Hey, I don't know when I'll be able to leave this place......"

Seeing that there were more and more boats on the Xinhe wharf, Chen Fangnan was full of sadness, originally, according to his plan to hand over the salt goods to these thieves, he took the young master to leave the ghost place of Wuchang, but who would have thought that before the salt money arrived, the rebels over there would go down to Xiangyang first, and then to Yunyang.

Seeing that this "Han thief" was in danger of Shaanxi, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu immediately transferred troops to the place where Shaanxi and Hubei bordered, and cut off their return journey at once.

"Young master, in my opinion, as long as the army of the righteous army is still in Yunyang for a day, we won't want to go back to our hometown in Shaanxi for a day!"

The reason why Chen Fangnan said this was completely to make the young masters around him believe that the reason why he didn't go back to his hometown in Shaanxi now was not because he didn't want to go back, but because he couldn't go back, because there were thieves on the way.

"Shopkeeper Chen, you must send someone to go again to inquire about the news, as long as you can pass, you can spend as much money as you want!"

Zhao Ziyu, who was standing on the side of the boat, instructed Chen Fangnan, now every day of delay, it may affect his other plan, originally she was still thinking that as long as the ship came, she would leave Wuchang with the second lady, but who would have thought that the bad guy over there would actually send troops to fight Xiangyang and Yunyang, if he lost, it would be fine, but who would have thought that he would win, and if you win, you will win, but there are still "tens of thousands of troops" stationed there.

In this way, this place at the junction of Shaanxi and Hubei is naturally full of heavy troops, even if Zhao Ziyu wants to leave, he doesn't dare to leave with the second lady like this, if the news is revealed on the way, that person only needs to send someone to send a letter quickly, how many thieves on both sides of the Han River may be there to intercept them, when the time comes, how can they return to their hometown in Shaanxi safely?

"Young master, you said, shouldn't that person really want to beat us in Shaanxi!"

Chen Fangnan, who was only helping his apprentice to plot the Zhao family's six-room family business, was a little uneasy because of this news, originally he thought that the young master was captured by thieves, but he never thought that the young master is now the housekeeper in the Dadu Governor's Mansion, the prime minister's concierge seven-grade official, not to mention the thief's big butler, if this righteous army defeated Shaanxi, he killed the news of the former big butler in the Dadu Governor's Mansion spread...... That's a death that I don't know how!

"Not for the time being, that person is calm and far from being very human, he has just joined the land of Sanfu now, if he attacks Shaanxi in a short time, I am afraid it will only be unfavorable to him! After all, his merging with those Cantonese bandits was only a temporary expedient measure, and if he transferred his army to Shaanxi, what would happen to the rear? ”

If Zhu Yifeng heard Zhao Ziyu's words, I am afraid that he would only be surprised that these words would actually come out of a woman's mouth, shopping malls are like battlefields, maybe Zhao Ziyu has never fought, but she has been in business since childhood, not to mention that she knows Zhu Yifeng's entanglement with the Taiping Army better than others.

"So, at least for the time being, it will never use troops against Shaanxi, but ......"

After a pause, Zhao Ziyu's brows were locked, but he had no intention of moving troops against Shaanxi, why did he transfer his troops to the north? And not for the prevention of Cantonese bandits?

At this moment, suddenly, the seemingly calm Xinhe wharf became unkempt, and it turned out that a tax historian had come here under the escort of two volunteer soldiers, and was posting a notice on the wharf.

“…… According to five taels a day, pay the boat rent ......"

What a boat rent!

Listening to the shouts of the wharf tax collector, and then looking at the notice being posted over there, Zhao Ziyu's face suddenly changed, and Chen Fangnan muttered with a pale face.

"I know, I know that there will definitely be an accident, this is good, this is good, this is good, how can I go back to my hometown in Shaanxi......"

Chen Fangnan, who was crying with a sad face, would regret his original choice, and now that the ship was requisitioned by this rebel army, how can he return to Shaanxi?

When Chen Fangnan muttered to himself, after a moment of panic, Zhao Ziyu immediately commanded.

"This ship can't be given to them all anyway, Shopkeeper Chen, you go and discuss with the tax history, just say that we are the boat gang invited by the Dadu Governor's Mansion to transport salt, and we have to go back to Shaanxi to help the Dadu Governor transport salt, and this ship must not be taken ......away."

When he instructed the shopkeeper Chen to negotiate with the tax collector, he comforted the boss of the boat gang again.

"Boss Su, this boat is rented by our Zhao family, no matter what happens to the ship, my Zhao family will bear the chance......"

Although these words sound meaningless now, they finally calmed the hearts of the people temporarily, looking at the unkempt appearance on the dock, Zhao Ziyu also knew that now he had no time to wait any longer, and he had to leave this place as soon as possible no matter what.

"What the hell is going on? Why charter a boat? ”

The chaos on the dock did not last long, in fact, when Zhao Ziyu got off the ship, the unkempt dock returned to its previous calm, which was different from the "forcible seizure" that everyone imagined before, almost at the same time as renting the ship, the deposit was handed over to the ships, and the boss of the ships only needed to withdraw money from the government with the documents.

This news finally made the boat boss and boatman on the dock feel certain, this boat is used by anyone, and it is better to give silver now than to be forced to expropriate it in the past, the boat boss and the boatman who ran the boat are calm, but Zhao Ziyu can't calm down, but it only took half a day's effort, she still heard the news - the ship is to send the Taiping army to Xiangyang.

After getting the news, Zhao Ziyu immediately realized that this was an opportunity!

A chance to leave Wuchang!

She must seize this opportunity to leave Wuchang, otherwise God knows what will happen in the future, so she immediately ordered Chen Fangnan to prepare to leave Wuchang, and rushed towards the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion at the same time.

"What's going on out there now?"

In the lobby of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, looking at Zhang Sen standing in front of him, Zhu Yifeng asked.

"Back to the Metropolitan Governor, now everyone outside thinks that we are recruiting ships to transport the Taiping Army!"

Zhang Sen's answer made Zuo Zongtang's originally slightly frowning brows show slightly, "Ming Xiu plank road dark Chen Cang" This is exactly the strategy he proposed, in the name of "sending" the Taiping Army, requisitioning civilian ships, and then taking advantage of the river navigation, send the army to Hunan, and go straight to the hinterland of Hunan.

"However, Metropolitan Governor, will this be too risky, now that our main force in the north has not been transferred back, and now we will directly transfer the troops outside the city to Hunan, will this rear be too empty?"

Looking at Zuo Zongtang, who had just entered the mansion and knew that the Metropolitan Governor trusted him, Li Ziyuan reminded him. The proposal to send troops to Hunan was put forward by Nengzuo and Hu, and they did not even wait for the nearly 20,000 troops in Xiangyang, Xunyang and other places to be transferred back, but directly transferred the main force from the large camp outside the city.

"It's only been a few days!"

Zhu Yifeng shook his head, of course he knows very well how big the risk is, but he also understands how big the benefit is, and now he needs to create a false appearance for the Qing army - the false appearance that the righteous army is aiming in the north, as for the main force deployed in northern Hubei Province, it has now begun to go south down the river, and it will only take a few days to return to Wuchang, and Wuchang will naturally not be empty at that time, and the current rear emptiness is only a temporary thing.

"Right now, we have to fight the time difference, now whether it is Zeng Guofan or Luo Bingzhang, they all think that we will focus on the north, plus these tens of thousands of Taiping troops take advantage of Hubei, we naturally dare not relax against them, so it is impossible to free up our hands to threaten Hunan, but this time, we will take them by surprise!"

Time difference!

This is the core of Zuo Zongtang's entire plan, in fact, this plan uses not only the opportunity of the Taiping Army to take advantage of the road, but more importantly, to take advantage of the Yangtze River Fleet's daily travel of hundreds of miles.

"Then the Governor ...... you"

Looking at the high-spirited Metropolitan Governor, Li Ziyuan asked.

"You're going to lead the army to Hunan this time?"

"Not only do you want to go to Hunan!"

The corners of Zhu Yifeng's lips lifted slightly.

"I still want to be in Yuezhou in person, and I will meet him for a while!"

When the words fell, Zhu Yifeng looked at Hu Linyi and said with a smile.

"Runzhi, Ji Gao, I know that you have known Zeng Guofan very early, and you have made friends in the world, but now you ......"

Without waiting for Zhu Yifeng to finish speaking, Hu Linyi hurriedly got up and said.

"The Metropolitan Governor, the minister understands, the minister only hopes that when the time comes, Zeng Disheng will be able to understand the overall situation! Don't miss yourself! ”

It's too late to say anything now, for Hu Linyi, although Zeng Guofan is his friend, he doesn't have much of a choice, and now it's all his own master!

"But Runzhi and Ji Gao, don't worry, Zeng Disheng's talent, how can this governor not know, if there is a slightest possibility, I will try my best to save his life!"

This is not just lip service, for a talent like Zeng Guofan, Zhu Yifeng naturally has the intention of using what he has used, but if he can't use it, then he will ...... Of course, the words to appease people now are naturally to be said. (To be continued.) )
