By the time Peng Yunzhang returned to the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, it was already afternoon, and as the Minister of Military Aircraft, he would not even have lunch, but he did not dare to delay the slightest bit, for fear of delaying the emperor's mission and affecting the qi of the Great Qing Kingdom. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, there were only two monarchs and ministers in the palace, although they were summoned separately, but they still needed to maintain the etiquette of the monarchs and ministers, the emperor was standing on the throne of the high-backed dragon, Peng Yunzhang knelt down in His Royal Highness, worried about the Qing Dynasty in the world, and when he saw Peng Yunzhang coming back, he couldn't wait to ask:

"What did he say, arraignment of Sezanne?"

Peng Yunzhang hurriedly and cautiously reported:

"After the minister's oral announcement, Sai Shang Ah can quite understand, but he has concerns, saying that it is the founding of this dynasty for two hundred years, Cheng Ping has been peaceful for a long time, and all things are also deep, usually whitewashed, now once exposed, symptomatic treatment, can not help but take heavy medicine, said it, the words are inevitably excited, I am afraid that there is a reverse ear, so Sai Shang Ah dare not speak, and the minister does not dare to pass on, hoping that His Majesty will forgive his sins, and dare to show the truth."

When is it, you are still there cautiously, but knowing that these Hanchen were born like this, Yi Su said hurriedly after whispering a word or two in his heart:

"Peng Yunzhang, now that the country has reached such a time of crisis, I am eager to change my course, listen to the words of my subordinates, in order to save the situation, you and Sai Shang'a should be loyal and outspoken, this is the way to be a minister, why worry? I forgive you for your innocence! ”

After hearing this, Peng Yunzhang kowtowed a few times, and hurriedly replied:

"Thank you, Lord Long. When Sai Shanga spoke to the minister, he did not hide it in the slightest, he first said, "The minister thinks about it carefully, the defeat of the official army is not really the gain or loss of one general and one place, but because the twilight of the entire Eight Banners and the Green Camp is too deep, the official spirit is too heavy, and the generals are arrogant and lazy, and it is difficult to talk about war. Officers and soldiers are far inferior to thieves in brave battles and forgetting their lives and death, they are not as good as thieves in enduring hardships and hard work, they are still inferior to thieves in marching fast and long-distance rushes, and they are even worse than thieves when they work together and unite as one. Although there are also people who have worked hard to kill thieves and make meritorious contributions, whether there are a few of them, it is not enough to save the overall situation. Those who serve as soldiers only know how to fight with pay, and do not want to fight when there is no pay or less money; Those who are in power are only for the sake of protecting their lives and their families, or they are fighting for power with each other, and they are placed in second place in battle, so how can the army defeat the enemy. ’”

Peng Yunzhang's words, who listened carefully, Yixu's face gradually became difficult to look at, and his eyebrows frowned, interrupting Peng Yunzhang's words and saying:

"Are the Eight Banners and the Green Camp really in such a unbearable state?"

Isn't that unbearable?

Yi Su immediately thought of the Eight Banners that had been in the customs for only a few decades, and they were so rotten that they were so unusable that when the Holy Ancestor put down the rebellion of the three feudatories, he could rely on the Green Battalion soldiers, but he never thought that the Green Battalion soldiers were also unusable now. It is no wonder that it took three years for the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect to be quelled.

It seems that now this green camp is really as erosive and unusable as the Eight Banners of the year, if so, what should the Qing Dynasty do?

"But who else can I rely on?"

The emperor's question made Peng Yunzhang hurriedly kowtow again:

Saishana also thought of this aspect, he played to the emperor, "Today's extermination of thieves, we must rely on the regimental training run by the local gentry, the gentry and the regimental warrior are all fighting to defend their hometown, and joining the regiment is not for the sake of making a living with silver, and when encountering thieves, they are desperately blocking the siege, desperate for themselves, much more tenacious than the official army." ”

Peng Yunzhang's words made Yi Su nod quite approvingly, and he immediately thought of Jiang Zhongyuan, the political envoy of Hubei who committed suicide in defeat, there are many loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty, and Jiang Zhongyuan is also one of them, but he Jiang Zhongyuan is the official who has been trained by the regiment. The emperor thought so, although Peng Yunzhang did not guess the emperor's thoughts, but he also mentioned this person.

Jiang Zhongyuan, the former political envoy of Hubei, held a regimental exercise in his hometown in his early years, called "Chu Yong", and cleared out the bandits in his hometown, and later stopped the bandits at the Lingyi Ferry in Guangxi, which can be said to have made a great contribution to the imperial court, and later defended the city in Changsha, and the city wall was broken and blocked, if it were not for his Chu Yong, I am afraid that Changsha would have been lost. The reason why Jiang Zhongyuan defeated Wuchang this time was because his Chu brave soldiers were less than 3,000, while the Huangzhou thieves rebelled against 20,000 people, and then the local regiment was brave and centrifuged, so that the city defense collapsed, and the defeat of Wuchang was not a crime of war......"

Peng Yunzhang cautiously exonerated Zhang Liangji, but it was not that he took the initiative to exonerate Zhang Liangji, but that he was exonerating the ministers.

And Peng Yunzhang's exculpatory words, listening to Yixu's ears, also made him nod frequently, isn't it, this Wuchang wants a city without a city, no one wants people, and there is no food if you want food, there is no possibility of holding such a city, and Jiang Zhongyuan can commit suicide in such an empty city, if you are so loyal, it is really rare!

Peng Yunzhang naturally had no way of knowing the sigh in the emperor's heart, he only knew to bring Sai Shang'a's words to the emperor, and by the way, add some water to Sai Shang'a's words, as for how this water is, it is completely in his control.

"Therefore, Sai Shang Ah will ask the emperor to ask the emperor, if he wants to suppress the Guangdong bandits, in the future, only by holding a large-scale group training, and gradually replacing the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion with the regimental courage as the main force to suppress the bandits, can he sweep away the twilight of the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion, so that the regimental training can take on the important task of pacifying the bandits."

The young Yishu listened to Peng Yunzhang's words, as if he was considering whether Sai Shang's suggestion was feasible, and the first thing he thought of was the ancestral system, these eight banners are the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, and the green camp is the economic division of the Qing Dynasty, and this regiment is ...... Just when he was hesitating, he heard Peng Yunzhang continue:

If the imperial court can organize a large-scale group training and instruct the localities to organize group training, these people can be recruited as regimental warriors and organized into the army, and the people who blindly obeyed the Cantonese bandits will turn to the court and serve the emperor. Therefore, the purpose of organizing a regiment to train is to strengthen the army; Second, you can compete with thieves for the source of troops. If the source of soldiers is in me, the Cantonese bandits are powerless; The salaries of the brave soldiers of the three regiments are raised by the local government, and those with strong troops, such as Chu Yong at the beginning, can also go out of the province to suppress bandits, and only then will the household department allocate the salaries of the soldiers, so that the imperial court can maintain more soldiers with limited salaries. It can be said that it is a three-way benefit, and it seems to be a choice. The ministers thought that the governors of the provinces were unable to take care of the regimental training, so they might as well choose another official with a registered rank of three grades or above to serve as the minister of regimental training in the province, so as to train the scattered regiments scattered in various prefectures and counties into a usable army. I would like to record the question and answer of the interrogation of Saishana as a confession, and I respectfully ask the emperor for the holy testimony. ”

Yi Su took the transcript presented by Peng Yunzhang's hands, although Sai Shang's statement was quite insightful, he finally felt that the distant water could not save the near fire, and he did not pin the hope of saving the Qing Dynasty on the group training, he read it slightly, and then nodded and said:

"Very good, I think the regimental training will be held before the whole country, and the military aircraft can look at the registered officials in various places, who can be the minister of regimental training? Also, hasn't Hunan already tried to hold a group exercise? Who is the minister of regimental training in Hunan? ”

Hearing the emperor's question, Peng Yunzhang hurriedly kowtowed and replied:

"Back to the emperor, the minister of Hunan regimental training is the former waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Zeng Guofan is a native of Xiangxiang, Hunan, and his mother is worried about filial piety at home, and the emperor has already decreed that he will be the minister of regimental training in Hunan Province."

Yi Su is no stranger to Zeng Guofan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and he said with some doubts:

"Zeng Guofan is a person who pays attention to science, and he still presided over the ceremony after the establishment, but I don't know if the scholar can lead the army, and let's see how he does it first. In the other provinces along the Yangtze River, the military plane can also put forward candidates for ministers of regimental training, and wait for me to circle them. Alright, you step aside! ”

After Peng Yunzhang hurriedly retreated, as for Sai Shang'a, the emperor waved his pen and approved him, released him from prison, and sent him to the governor of Zhili, and he was lucky to avoid death.

In their opinion, the thieves in Wuchang are just the Cantonese bandits, and it is not enough to worry for the time being.
