Meeting people in a foreign country is one of the four joys of life.

Being able to see Zuo Zongtang in Wuchang was completely beyond Hu Linyi's expectations, and after the initial surprise, after hearing about his experience, the two did not have the initial surprise.

After all, now that the two of them are both prisoners of the ranks, why should they be happy?

However, compared to Zuo Zongtang's initial experience, the treatment of the two of them now is completely different from the past, at least in this courtyard, they no longer have to endure the turbid smell and poor food in the prison, and the two can also talk about the current situation and articles together, but they are also happy to be leisurely.

For the two people who haven't seen each other for many years, as world friends and best friends, they are more talking about the current situation at this time, although being in the "lower echelon" does not prevent them from caring about the current situation, after all, the two of them have always been determined to be in the world.

“…… I am in charge of the army and all the special committees of the army, and I have all the official affairs of the states and counties, and I have no time to answer them. …… It is the most rare thing to treat me with sincerity, no matter how big or small, and entrust me to everything. Who can do this? ”

At this time, the "army" in Zuo Zongtang's mouth naturally refers to Zhang Liangji, the former governor of Huguang, who is also in prison, when mentioning Zhang Liangji's trust in himself, Zuo Zongtang couldn't help but sigh, and then changed his words slightly, and sighed.

"It's a pity that his Japanese army trusted the words of others, and failed to enter Wuchang in time, and entered the army alone with Minqiao, if the court and the army were to suppress the thieves with the ministers, I and Minqiao, how could the Han thieves be rampant to this ......"

In the past period of time, whenever he reflected on the situation in Hubei, Zuo Zongtang would always sigh that "time was wrong", in his opinion, this thief suddenly rose up, all because he seized the opportunity of Hubei without soldiers.

"Ji Gao, the Han thief can have today's momentum, and it does have its advantages!"

Unlike Zuo Zongtang's indignation, Hu Linyi also reflected on his own failures, but because he had directly fought with the rebels, he looked at the problem from a different angle.

"In my brother's opinion, this Han rebellion is all in his strong army, and his soldiers are not only good at firearms, but also can order and prohibit, and they are even more willing to sacrifice their lives on the battlefield, just fighting, and not sparing their lives, their bravery is far beyond the reach of ordinary soldiers!"

Because of the relationship that is several months older than Zuo Zongtang, and the two are world friends and close friends, Hu Linyi naturally calls himself a brother.

"Indeed, the thought of the hundreds of thieves riding into the city and killing them on that day is always terrifying, so much so that even the army sometimes wakes up from nightmares! Thieves are indeed rare! ”

Although he has never been on the battlefield in person, Zuo Zongtang heard in prison that when Wuchang broke the city that day, how those thieves galloped across the city, how to break the courage of 10,000 soldiers with hundreds of horses, and it is precisely because of this that he believed in the history book when Tiancong went on an expedition to Korea for ten years, 40,000 defenders were defeated by 300 Qing cavalry. It's just a flock of lambs to the slaughter.

"Ji Gao, have you ever noticed that this Han reverses practice and uses Western methods?"

"The Western law?"

was slightly stunned at first, and then Zuo Zongtang said:

"The younger brother has never understood the Western military training method, and I ask the elder brother to tell me."

Hu Linyi immediately started talking:

"Back then, Lin Wenzhong Gong (1) went to Yungui to serve, and his brother had been trained by Wenzhong Gong, and Wenzhong Gong once said that the sharpness of Western soldiers is the advantage of guns and guns, and the second is the training of soldiers......"

As he said one by one, Hu Linyi sighed again about the conclusions drawn from the observation of the righteous army along the way.

"At that time, Brother Wei thought that Lin Wenzhonggong's words "Foreign Kou Beat the Drum, Even Nine Deaths, They Will Not Break" was an exaggeration, but that day, in the camp, there were only more than 30 people, but they dared to stand up and attack the brother's Chinese army without fear of death, which was really ......."

Shaking his head, Hu Linyi seemed to be laughing at himself for his arrogance at the beginning.

"We all think that if we want to suppress the bandits, we have to replace the green camp with group training, take my rural gentry as the pipe belt, recruit the village brave, and use Qi Jiguang to train the group brave, which can be leveled by the bandits, but the bandits are just like the bandits in Guangdong, and the Qianyong led by the brother are all the elite of the bandits in Guizhou for several years, and their bravery can be described as very, but even so, they do not block their head-on blows, which shows that this is not suitable for Qi to practice the group bravery!"

"If that's the case, then Hunan ......"

Thinking of his hometown in Hunan, Zuo Zongtang's mind sank, and now only the Tuan Yong led by Zeng Guofan of Yuezhou in Hunan has the strength to fight, but now Chu Yong and Qianyong have all been defeated by the hands of the thief, in case the thief counterattacks Hunan......

"Hunan should be fine for the time being, if it is not bad as expected by my brother, it is now in Hubei, with its steady heart, it will definitely run Hubei first, and then it will try to find other places."

This is also the biggest difference between the Righteous Army and the Taiping Army, compared with the latter, Zhu Yifeng, as the governor of the Righteous Army, emphasizes more steady and steady fighting to consolidate the base area. And the reason why Zhu Yifeng did this was completely influenced by the games he played when he was young, such as Red Police, first managed himself, kept building factories and troops, and waited until his strength developed, and then pushed it all the way. In his opinion, this is the safest way to go.

In the eyes of Zuo Zongtang and Hu Linyi, this is where it is the real henchman of the imperial court, after all, in their eyes, the "Cantonese bandits" who "do not produce" and rely on looting are difficult to achieve great things at all, but this "Han rebellion" that seems to submit to the "Cantonese bandits" is more threatening to the imperial court, because under its management, Hubei's financial and human resources can be used, and then "the world is in chaos".

If this is the case, then Disheng can also train the army for time, but this Han rebel is longer than the Cantonese bandits, and it is more demagogic than the Cantonese bandits, just like his words, "Expel the Hulu, restore China, establish a program of Chen Ji, and relieve the people." I don't know how many reckless people have been bewitched by it."

Zuo Zongtang's words reminded Hu Linyi of the two poems he saw at the city gate when he entered the city, so he nodded and said.

"When I entered the city for my brother, I saw a flag by the city gate, and the book on the card was: The mountains and rivers are dying of China, and the sun and the moon will reopen tomorrow. Xiashuyun: The sun and the moon open the ecliptic in the nine days, and the treasure map of the country is restored...... This surnamed Zhu really thought he was after Zhu Ming! ”

While shaking his head and sighing, a thought suddenly popped up in Hu Linyi's heart-what if it was really Zhu Ming? The moment this thought came to mind, it only made his heart tremble slightly.

Although "anti-Qing and Mingming" is just a noun, Hu Linyi knows very well that the power behind this noun is that the heaven and earth in Hunan and other places will cause trouble, isn't it in the name of "anti-Qing and Mingming"? Today, Zhu is sharp and sharp, if you carry this name again? Linked to what he said on the dock that day, Hu Linyi's heart suddenly trembled, and even the hand holding the teacup involuntarily trembled slightly.

However, although this person is well trained, his momentum is far less than Hong Yang, although Hong Yang's "Fengtian Seeks Hu Wei" is bold and reckless, and the crime is unforgivable, but in terms of essays, it has its uniqueness in demagogic and deceiving the world. The first few sentences of the article are extremely inflammatory, such as 'Use Xia to change the Yi, cut the evil and keep the right, swear to sweep away the dust, and expand the territory.' On the occasion of this sincere eternal coincidence, it is appropriate to build an immortal honor for all ages. It is a wise man and a heroic man from time to time, all of whom look at the clouds and look at the wind and shadows. Cheng is well aware of the principle of going against the grain, and the achievements of respecting the king of heaven and diligence can also impress those who are eager for quick success. What Hong Yang Erwei used to incite people's hearts was the so-called 'using Xia to change Yi' and 'swearing to sweep away Hu Chen', which was evil, extremely vicious, and extremely powerful. In contrast, this Zhu is inferior to this. ”

"Brother Runzhi, have you forgotten what Zhu Hongwu did in Jiqing Mansion back then, "Build a high wall and slowly become the king!" "That's the way, this Zhu Shun is just for one use! Its wolf ambition can be seen in general! ”

His brows furrowed slightly, and Zuo Zongtang said contemptuously.

"Actually, Hong Yang's article is not worth refuting, saying that the Manchurians are Yidi and Hu people, it is pure nonsense. If you say Yidi, Hong Yang himself is Yidi, and we are all Yidi. The Jingchu area was a barbarian land in the Spring and Autumn Period, aren't we all descendants of Yidi? Manchuria was included in the territory of China as early as the Tang Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty was also knighted by the imperial court, how can it be said that the Manchus are not Chinese? What is Hu, what is Yi......"

Just as Zuo Zongtang made this rebuttal, a rhetorical question suddenly came from outside the door.

"Then dare to ask Ji Gao, what is Han and what is Man?"

It was Zhu Yifeng himself who spoke, originally the reason why he came here today was to see if these two had changed, knowing that these two were teenagers who were determined to "leave a name in history" for him, and the reason why they let them live in a courtyard was actually to let them "cherish their lives", rather than "die" to leave a "clear name".

But he never thought that he came here in a hurry, and originally wanted to listen to what they were talking about outside the door, but he heard such a fallacy, how could this not make him annoyed, and it was precisely because of this that he pushed open the door in excitement and asked in a deep voice.

"If there is no distinction between Manchu and Han today, then why is there a distinction between Manchu and Han officials? Why did Yu Jingshi and others set up a full city to distinguish the Han Manchu? If he is Chinese, how can he use a butcher's knife to shave my hair and change clothes when he entered the customs, change my Chinese clothes, and change my Chinese customs? If he regarded himself as a person of China, how could he say that "I am not the king of China"! Moreover, in the Tang Dynasty, there was a Manchurian saying, the so-called Manchuria is actually the homeland of my China, Liaodong, thinking that my Chinese ancestors in the Spring and Autumn Period overcame thorns and thorns to expand the land for thousands of miles, and then included the land of Liaodong in China, the Manchu Qing Dynasty is not just a Tunguska barbarian, why do I think I am the former people of Liaodong, where is the former people of Liaodong? They have already been killed for it! ”

After this series of questions, Zhu Yifeng asked coldly.

"Please also ask Ji Gao to teach me! There is no difference between Hu Yi, and there is no debate between Huayi, and how can there be the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period of respecting Zhou and Yi! (To be continued.) )
