“…… Liu Lichuan called the Ming State to govern politics and religion to recruit the generalissimo, and Li Weichi called the governor of Pinghu. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Subsequently, Chen Alin was named Marshal Zuo, Prime Minister Military Affairs, Lin Afu was named Marshal Right, concurrently serving Shanghai County Affairs, Chen Zhibo was appointed Deputy Marshal of Nursing, Xu Weiren was Staff Officer, Prime Minister Finance, Pan Qiliang was General Feihu, Xu Yao was General Changsheng, Cai Yongliang was General of Sweeping North, Zhang Hanbin was General of Zhengdong, Zhu Yuefeng was General of Zhengnan, Zhou Xiu was General Zhengyin, Liu Hai, Zeng Qi, and Wu Jin were generals......"

The words coming out of the lobby of the governor's mansion here only attracted Zhang Liangji, Hu Linyi, Zuo Zongtang, Li Ziyuan, and Lin Zhiping in the hall, all of whom were slightly grinning at the corners of their lips, and their faces were full of contempt. No wonder they are like this, the reason is simple, compared to Liu Lichuan in Shanghai, the governor's office has jurisdiction over two provinces, nearly 50,000 soldiers, this general has not yet been a person, of course, this is also fundamentally related to the military rank system implemented by the Han army, as for what Flying Tiger General, Changsheng General, General Sweeping North and the like, there is no such thing, in fact, this is the biggest special feature of the Han Governor's Mansion - not to duplicate the name.

Even the Han Governor himself only has the title of "Metropolitan Governor", as for the Taiping Army's "Spring Official Prime Minister", no one mentions it in Wuchang, it is just a big banner for use, just like the fort built by the Han Army in Jiujiang now, isn't it the Cantonese bandits who are guarded against!

“…… Li Shaoxi is in charge of all military aircraft, Li Shaoxuan is in charge of the general government in order to prepare for the big military affairs, Xie Jingxuan is the general military affairs, Shen Guohua is the counselor, Xu Xingyi is the counselor of the battalion, Chen Xiaohu is the counselor, Wu Lantai is the staff officer, Shen Jiming is the preparation of food affairs, Cao Zifang is the preparation of ordnance, Pan Qingquan is the guerrilla, Xia Zuwang is the head of the preparation and defense bureau, Chen Aming, Lin Azhou, Liu Jin and others are the pioneers, and Xiao Kui is the ...... of the Tai Hospital."

"Metropolitan Governor, from this point of view, this Liu Lichuan's mind is average, but as soon as he got a county, he wantonly sealed it indiscriminately, how can he succeed?"

If he hadn't understood the importance of Shanghai to the Governor's Mansion, I am afraid that Zhang Liangji would have felt that discussing the so-called "Little Knife Society Uprising" in this mansion was simply a superfluous move.

"What Zhang Xiang said is extremely true, but as far as I, Han Du, can succeed in the Shanghai Knife Society, it doesn't matter!"

Zhang Liangji's words fell, and Zuo Zongtang said directly.

"As far as I am concerned, the land of Shanghai is really an important place for the port, if Shanghai is chaotic, there will be injuries in the Governor's Mansion, not only can the Silk of Huguang not be sold, even if it is a foreign structure, it cannot be transshipped in Shanghai, so for the Governor's Mansion, it is naturally extremely unfavorable!"

Zuo Zongtang's words made Hu Linyi and others nod one after another, in this court, there are a few people who do not know the importance of guns in the Han army, although the factory in Wuchang can now make guns, but the machines in the factory need to be purchased from foreign countries, such as the iron factory, gun factory, machine factory and shipyard and other required machines, none of them have been transported into Wuchang, if Shanghai is in turmoil, it will inevitably affect the future of the Han army.

Zuo Zongtang's rebuttal made Zhang Liangji hurriedly remedy.

"What Lord Zuo said is very true, but now that Shanghai is in chaos, my governor's mansion is far away in Wuchang, how can I meddle in Shanghai's affairs?"

What Zhang Liangji said is also true, there are two provinces between Wuchang and Shanghai.

"The Metropolitan Governor, in the opinion of the ministers, this matter of Shanghai, the Governor's Mansion should wait and see what happens......"

Before Zhang Liangji finished speaking, Hu Linyi retorted.

"The Metropolitan Governor, you must not wait and see what happens, if the minister expects it to be correct, if there is an incident in Shanghai now, he will inevitably contact the Cantonese bandits in the future, if the two join forces and sweep southern Jiangsu, this Shanghai will not only be obtained by the Cantonese bandits, but even my sea route will be cut off by the Cantonese bandits!"

Hu Linyi's words only made Zhu Yifeng frown slightly, although he knew that the uprising of the Little Knife Society in history was unsuccessful, but it was a fact in history that he returned to the Taiping Army, not to mention Liu Lichuan...... Thinking of his relationship with him, and thinking of the weapons and funding he had given him, will all this change history? 、

If it is really used by the Taiping army, then ...... With a slight light in his mind, Zhu Yifeng looked at Hu Linyi and asked.

"What about Runzhi's opinion?"

Although the official rank of the framework of the governor's mansion has been determined, Zhu Yifeng is still not used to using his official title to refer to his subordinates, but still uses his words.

"Contact in advance, before the Cantonese bandits and collusion, make them loyal to me!"

After listening to Hu Linyi's words, Zhu Yifeng pondered for a while before saying:

"Let him Liu Lichuan submit to me, this Shanghai and ours can be separated by hundreds of miles."

"Hundreds of miles apart, what's so difficult?"

Hu Linyi could not agree with this view of the Grand Duke.

"Wuchang is located in the inland area, although it enjoys the benefits of the Yangtze River, but the head of the river is controlled by the Qing court, and the river is cut off by the Cantonese bandits.

"Well, that's true, Jiang Hang is held by others, and it's really not good for me."

In fact, Zhu Yifeng has been thinking about this matter for a long time, and even when he was in Changsha, he had considered the matter of capturing Guangdong, but considering that the battle line was too long, and there were problems such as transportation and digestion, the matter of finally capturing Guangdong was temporarily shelved by him. And now Hu Linyi's opinion has made him reflect on his own thinking, compared to the province of Guangdong, Shanghai is just a place.

"And the governor of the capital, moreover, the Cantonese bandits, burning the Confucian Temple, destroying the scriptures, killing Confucianism, has long been the anger of people and gods, at the beginning, I was inferior to others, had to be willing to live under it, now, my Han army has 50,000 strong soldiers, the land of two provinces, and has established a chapter in Wuchang, how can we continue to drive for the Cantonese bandits, in the opinion of the ministers, now is the time to take this opportunity to break with the Cantonese bandits!"

Hu Linyi's suggestion immediately caused everyone to be surprised and broke with the Cantonese bandits! Although no one has a good impression of the Cantonese bandits, none of them have a good impression of them, but everyone knows very well that this is in the shadow of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the Governor's Mansion has not been taken seriously by the Manchu Dynasty. As for the Han army, it is just a branch of the Taiping army, as long as Jiangning is conquered, the Han army can be easily defeated.

If it is split with the Cantonese bandits, doesn't it mean that the Han army will be pushed to the eyes of the imperial court, and if the imperial court is like the Cantonese bandits, it will set up two large camps in Jiangnan and Jiangbei to go all out to suppress Wuchang, what will happen at that time?

"What Lord Hu said is astonishing, if this is the case, won't our Han army be the spearhead, not only will it lead the Qing court to police, but the relationship with the Cantonese bandits will also deteriorate, so won't our Han army suffer from the enemy?"

Lin Yeping immediately retorted.

"It is exactly like this, our Han army can have today's prosperity, all in the middle of the two, to get the benefits of the fisherman, if you break up, although you can get the mouth of the river, this Guangdong bandit is cut off by the river navigation, Wuchang lives in the river, what should it be?"

In the face of others' rebuttals, Hu Linyi did not rush to explain, but waited for everyone to finish their words before explaining.

"This so-called break is not to immediately turn against the Cantonese bandits, but to get rid of their self-reliance, the Cantonese bandits are short-sighted, if they are allowed to control the Jiangkou, it will be a matter of time before they cut off the Jianghang, and if I can persuade Liu Lichuan to return to the Han Governor, I will definitely be annoyed by the Cantonese bandits, and then I can send people to Jiangning, prepare generous gifts, bribe the Cantonese bandits to lobby, and then maintain the relationship between the two sides!"

"If we take the liberty of interfering in Shanghai, it will be very unhappy, and if we can't lobby at that time, what will we do?"

"That Liu Lichuan is actually a subordinate of the Metropolitan Governor in Shanghai back then, and now the army is just forced by the Qing court, and he has to do it, so what is the fault of returning to my governor's mansion?"

Hu Linyi's explanation made everyone's eyes light up, and they realized that it was not, the Metropolitan Governor used to live in Shanghai, so what explanation would not make sense.

"And in the eyes of outsiders, isn't it a break with the Yue Yue bandits in our governor's mansion to take over Shanghai? In this way, the hearts of the people of the world can be harvested! As for the Cantonese bandits......"

With a slight contempt on his face, Hu Linyi continued.

"Cantonese bandits, hundreds of thousands of troops have not yet been able to attack Jiangxi, with their current situation, they will not be bold enough to be the enemy of our Han army, if the minister's expectations are not bad, as long as we wait for a little softness to them, the Cantonese bandits will definitely be willing to listen to my explanation."

The reason why Hu Linyi was so confident was entirely because the Cantonese bandits wanted to take Jiangxi and couldn't, but the Han army swept through Hunan in less than 20 days and took all the land in Hunan, so how could the Cantonese bandits in Jiangning not see the gap between the two?

"Shi Qing, what do you think?"

After Hu Linyi explained his thoughts, although he had already made a decision in his heart, before making a final decision, he still wanted to listen to the opinion of this soldier first, after all, in the governor's mansion, he was equivalent to the prime minister who joined the army.

"Hmmm......"

After a little groaning, Zhang Liangji replied respectfully.

"The minister thinks that there is nothing wrong with this discussion!"

After being so affirmative at first, Zhang Liangji had some reservations.

"However, the minister thinks that the biggest problem in this matter is whether the Cantonese bandits can swallow their anger and sit back and watch the governor's government control Shanghai, after all, in this way, Jiangkou and Jiangwei are all obtained by the governor's government, and this Cantonese bandit lives in it, not only is he threatened by my belly and back, but his way to the east and west is also blocked by our Han army, how can he feel at ease?"

Zhu Yifeng felt that Zhang Liangji's words did have some truth, and Hu Linyi's words also had some truth, so how should the two choose? And this is probably the lack of government after the establishment of the system, in the past, he suffered from the fact that his staff could not give advice, so that he could only rely on himself, and even made decisions arbitrarily, but this will Zhu Yifeng is no longer as arbitrary as in the past, and now in the face of various opinions, how should he decide?
