In April of the third year of Xianfeng, when the Taiping Army's 100,000 troops began their westward expedition, Hu Linyi left Guizhou and rushed to Hubei. A group of people and horses, three hundred Lian Yong divided into three batches, the first batch of the front of the road, the second batch of middle escort, the third batch of the palace, there is a big car slowly, which is loaded with Hu Linyi's books, these books will be separated in the middle of the way, sent back to Yiyang's hometown.
Hu Linyi sitting in the sedan chair looked out, Guizhou is hilly, the terrain is undulating, but the sedan chair drivers are very stable, he sits very comfortably in the sedan chair, although it is a warm spring, the world is full of vitality, but the sky is gray, so that people's mood can not help but fall down in such weather.
Hu Linyi, who was silently contemplative, thought of his experience as an official in Guizhou in the past eight years, Anshun Mansion, Zhenyuan Mansion, Linan Mansion, and Liping Mansion, he transferred several places, from the prefect to the Guidong Daoist, everything was quite smooth, and during his time in Guizhou, he was also praised by the imperial court and the people, which shows that his governance is still effective.
With a long sigh of relief, Hu Linyi leaned on the back of the sedan chair and closed his eyes with satisfaction. The team was advancing, and his mood was slowly stretching in this swaying, and suddenly, Hu Linyi lifted the curtain to stop the palanquin man, and said to his entourage.
"Give me a horse!"
The retinue sent a horse according to his words, although the horse was not a horse, but it was also taller than an ordinary southwest horse, Hu Linyi stepped on the horse and wanted to go up, but he pedaled hard but couldn't go up, the entourage came over to help him, but he shook his head angrily, and retracted the hand of the entourage in fright.
At this time, Hu Linyi's mood seemed a little low, and even a burst of sadness swelled up, is he really old? After a few years of hard work, his body was not as good as before, and he couldn't even get on the horse, he grabbed the reins of the horse, and kicked off the horse hard, and finally barely turned over on the horse, he relieved his breath and said.
"Keep going!"
The team moved forward again, Hu Linyi on the horse walked slowly, he insisted on cavalry, is to see the mountains and rivers of Guizhou, after all, here has poured too much of his effort, looking ahead, the undulating hills have been stretching forward, in the green Mang Mountain, the trees move with the mountain wind, he looks at this amount of grass and trees as if he wants to imprint all this in his heart. Then he looked at the three hundred Lian Yong, these Lian Yong were saying goodbye to their relatives and far away from home, so they were also quite sad, they all had solemn expressions, bowed their heads and walked slowly.
Looking at these soldiers, Hu Linyi felt that he was a little cruel, and forcibly pulled these soldiers away from this land and went to a strange place.
Thinking of this, Hu Linyi couldn't help laughing, he wondered why he was so sentimental for a while, and kept thinking about some mother-in-law and mother-in-law questions, this is not like his usual character, to serve the country loyally, that can take care of so many "lingering" things.
After cheering up, Hu Linyi thought about his future again, with these exercises as capital, his waist will be hard, but three hundred people seem to be a bit small, and he needs to recruit another batch, and these exercises he has trained himself will definitely bring him new opportunities.
Thinking of Hubei, where the "Han rebellion" was rampant, Hu Linyi's brows couldn't help frowning tightly, thinking that with thousands of soldiers, he had captured half of Hubei in just over a month, and then trained tens of thousands of elite soldiers, forcing the governor of Huguang to retreat step by step, and he hated and respected in his heart, and at the same time had some fear. He hated these "Han rebels" for harming the country and causing trouble to the locality, and at the same time he couldn't help but admire these people, not to mention anything else, just his trip to Wuchang with more than 1,000 elites was admirable and fearful, and people did not dare to underestimate them.
The more he thought about it, the more Hu Linyi felt that he was not only worried about these "Han rebellion" plots, but also that the court was now in turmoil, and internal worries were flared up together, so that the court could not withstand it at all, and even had the momentum of not being able to sit down in the world.
"Could it be that the full man's qi is really approaching?"
Hu Linyi secretly thought to himself, if so, why is he still working so hard? Is it to continue to breathe for this man? Isn't this matter of the number of qi determined between heaven and earth long ago?
Suddenly, he was startled by his own rebellious thoughts, he hurriedly looked around, for fear that someone would see through his thoughts, the soldiers around him did not make a sound, and walked forward slowly, no one noticed the change in his expression, and then Hu Linyi was relieved, he felt a little funny about what he had just done. Then he blamed himself.
"Hu Runzhi, Hu Runzhi, how can you think like this because you still read the books of sages and sages, and you have the ambition of the world?"
In addition to blaming himself, he secretly made up his mind that only by serving the country loyally can he live up to the high expectations of his father, father-in-law, mentor and friends. What's more, the more the country is not prosperous, the more you should do your best to be worthy of the court. At the same time, he thought of what he had said when he was with Zuo Zongtang many years ago.
"If you can't turn things around, you should try your best to make up for them!"
Thinking of this, Hu Linyi felt a sense of tragedy in his heart.
"The world knows that it can't be done!"
Isn't this exactly the lesson that Sage Kong has sold? Knowing that "the way is not feasible", but still lobbying the kings to exercise benevolent government, should he retreat after reading the scriptures and practicing them for eight years?
Thinking of this, Hu Linyi tightened the reins, the horse under his crotch slowly stopped, and the team also stopped, just like that, Hu Linyi secretly swore to the sky.
When you go to Hubei, you must put an end to the chaos and rebellion, and return the world to a bright and prosperous world!
When making this vow, Hu Linyi thought of the same oath before he came to Guizhou eight years ago. A strange feeling suddenly welled up in his heart, and he prayed silently, begging for the heavens to help him become powerful.
Along the way, Hu Linyi recruited more than 700 loyal and stable young men from good families, and his training expanded to more than 1,000 people, so he went to Hubei with confidence.
Almost at the same time that Hu Linyi rushed to Hubei, in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in Wuchang, the bright candle reflected the map on the wall, Zhu Yifeng looked at the people in the hall, and said with a smile.
"In the past few months, the big guys have worked hard, and these days, everyone is training the troops day and night to maintain the place, I see it!"
first affirmed the achievements of these people, and then Zhu Yifeng changed the conversation again, first talking about the current situation.
"Now that the Kingdom of Heaven has begun its expedition to the west, it stands to reason that we should send troops to assist, after all, we are now nominally at the mercy of its seal......"
When mentioning "listen to what he is sealed", the corners of Zhu Yifeng's lips lifted slightly, with a mocking meaning on his face, and now he has accepted the canonization of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom - "Winter official and prime minister", what kind of official is this?
But he didn't care about what kind of bird this bird was "Winter Officer and Prime Minister", as if he didn't intend to listen to it at all.
"However, since the Taiping Army marched westward, and the Qing army in Jiangxi was attracted by it, then we don't have much to worry about for the time being, and besides, after a few months of recuperation, our army should also be pulled out for training, so I think that our army should take the initiative to attack and strive to seize the entire territory of Hubei in the next few months......"
Take the opportunity of the Taiping Army's westward expedition to seize the entire territory of Hubei!
This is Zhu Yifeng's idea, and now Yang Xiuqing and others have changed the target of the western expedition to Anhui and Jiangxi provinces, as for Hubei, this is their "friendly army", so naturally there is no need to divide troops.
"What the Governor said is that if he continues to rest like this, perhaps the brothers will all have to rest and be sick......
Although the soldiers are accustomed to the practice of at least six hours a day, they are accustomed to such a repetition of fixed movements day and night, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even these officers are now a little slack. After all, for them, the day and night were repeated in line and on foot, and as for shooting, the platoon guns were fired only once every six days. The boring training really wears down people's will.
"Break? This time, I'm afraid the brothers won't have to stop! ”
Laughing and shaking his head, Zhu Yifeng naturally knew that even after this battle, they couldn't stop, these days, with the arrival of Linus, he was formulating a new "teaching plan", and the next battle was not so much a war, but a "general exercise", through this actual battle, so that Linus had a full understanding of the combat effectiveness of the rebels, only in this way can the officers and assistants of the rebels be retrained in a targeted manner, and the time for retraining may be as long as half a year, or even a year!
And this means that in the next year, all the officers and assistants of the rebel army will be trained, and the same will be true for the officers, and the same will be true for the soldiers, and in a year, what kind of army will this army become?
Zhu Yifeng didn't know about this, but he knew very clearly that in a year, he would have the most modern army in East Asia in this era, not only in terms of equipment, but also in terms of soldiers and training, and of course, the officer corps team was also modernized!
"Okay, now, let's discuss the deployment of this battle......"
When Zhu Yifeng mentioned the deployment of the campaign, Linus, as his military adviser, just watched quietly and watched their performance, because he didn't know anything about the terrain, transportation and other issues, so that he had no room to express his opinion at all, but this did not prevent him from observing this army and then formulating a new plan, and it was precisely because of the understanding of the past period of time that he finally understood why the Metropolitan Governor regarded the training of officers so urgently, it was because among his subordinates, there was almost no competent officer!
And how did they defeat the enemy in this case?
What are their enemies like? (To be continued.) )
