Wuchang. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Compared to Nanjing, which is full of dark tides, it is undoubtedly extremely calm, and it can even be said that it is a little too calm, so that people will forget that it is a time of war and chaos.

This is especially true for many people who come to Wuchang for the first time from other places, who are often surprised by the calm of Wuchang and the quiet and peaceful atmosphere here.

In a way, it is true that the war has always been far away from Wuchang, although the city, which was once almost completely burned by the flames of war, is now far away from him, the people of this city. Even compared to the past, their lives are more comfortable and richer, and if it weren't for the occasional news in the newspapers, perhaps they would have felt that the war was already over.

Actually, it's clear to everyone. The war never stopped, and many people in this city were even constantly planning wars, planning future wars. For ordinary people, they are willing to enjoy a peaceful life, even if it is just a façade.

Lin Mansion, in Wuchang City, can be called "Lin Mansion" is not much, although there are also a few mansions in Wuchang with the door number of "Lin Mansion", but people at most say "Lin family in such and such lane", and will not use "Lin Mansion" to describe, in Wuchang City, there is only one Lin Mansion, which is located in the alley behind the Governor's Mansion The Lin family's mansion.

However, although it is called a "mansion", this Lin Mansion is far from being as luxurious as people think, and is actually just a standard residence for ordinary high-ranking officials - many officials in Wuchang have their residences provided by the Governor's Mansion, and it was not until the beginning of the year that these officials purchased their residences from the Governor's Mansion.

Lin Zhiping is no exception, this house is not big, not expensive, but more than 1,000 yuan, at most equivalent to his one month of Feng Lu - the Chinese official of the Governor's Mansion is equal to the Manchu Qing officials, but his pension is changed into a Feng Lu, compared with the Manchu officials, they also enjoy annual bonuses and welfare allowances, and there is a generous pension after retirement.

Because of this, in fact, most of the officials in the government have extremely rich incomes, and even those who have not entered the stream have a salary of more than 20 yuan per month, so that they can live a worry-free life. Therefore, in Wuchang City, officials have always been the most comfortable and well-paid group, ordinary officials are like this, Lin Yeping, who is of the first grade, of course, and even the annual bonus and welfare allowance are enough for him to maintain a year's expenses - equivalent to a year's salary.

It is precisely because of the relatively rich income that Lin Zhiping is now thinking about building a villa outside the city like everyone else, and even Wuchang has a Lushan company, which is promoting the "summer manor" of Lushan, which has really attracted some officials, just like now, Lin Zhiping, who has just bought a piece of land for 1500 yuan, is looking at a few drawings, which are the drawings of the summer manor.

Is it European? Or Chinese?

It's a choice.

However, Lin Zhiping's entanglement did not last long, and was soon interrupted by visitors.

"Zhongping is so Yaxing!"

Stepping into the door and seeing Lin Zhiping who was looking at the pattern there, Zhang Liangji immediately smiled and said.

"This is the villa in Lushan? How did you choose the building type? ”

Looking up and seeing Zhang Liangji, Lin Zhiping was surprised at first, and then immediately reprimanded his younger brother who was following Zhang Liangji.

"The third child, I said that you are really, why is Master Zhang here, and you don't notify me. It shouldn't be. ”

"Third child, this is what I asked him not to inform!"

Zhang Liangji sat down unceremoniously, and when he saw him sit down, Lin Zhiping, who knew that there must be something to discuss, ordered the third brother to serve a pot of tea, and then said to the left soldier.

"Mr. Shi Qing, I don't know why Mr. Shi Qing is here."

Now he is curious, Zhang Liangji's sudden visit, you must know that the left and right join the army is Han Du's right-hand man, and he is also the superior of these people.

"Zhongping!"

Looking at Lin Zhiping, Zhang Liangji hurriedly said:

"Count the days, it's been three years since the Lord's incident."

What about three years!

It's been three and a half years, and there's still a month!

I'm afraid you, Zhang Shiqing, didn't come here to count the days.

Thinking so in his heart, Lin Zhiping smiled silently, all listening to it.

"Three years and seven months, counting the days, the lower officials have followed the lord for three years and five months."

seems to be a simple sentence, but in fact, it is to express a point of view to Zhang Shiqing - he is the "old minister" of the lord, at least a while earlier than him Zhang Shiqing.

"It's been more than three years......"

Zhang Liangji just nodded slightly, he knew what Lin Zhiping meant, he Lin Zhiping was "Huangzhou Old Minister".

"Zhongping, have you heard that the Jiangnan camp has been broken by the bandits!"

"I've heard of it!"

Such a big news, not to mention the high-ranking officials in the house, is also reported in the newspapers, and even the newspapers analyze the impact of the Jiangnan camp on the government after it was conquered by the Taiping army.

"You know that after the Jiangnan battalion was conquered by the bandits, then the Manchu Qing Dynasty no longer had any power in the Nanjing area, and the Nanjing bandits also lifted the external trouble!"

Zhang Liangji said as he looked at Lin Zhiping in order to find out what he thought.

"Indeed, once the external troubles of the Taiping Army are solved, I am afraid that it will only be unfavorable to us at that time! After all, there were Qing troops there in the past, and now, if they think that we have become a thorn in their side, they will cut off the Yangtze River when the time comes......"

"I'm not worried about the Yangtze River, I'm thinking about ...... Nanjing, what should I do if there is a civil unrest in Nanjing? ”

When a seemingly unsurprising sentence came out of Zhang Liangji's mouth, he noticed that Lin Zhiping's face suddenly looked solemn, and his brows were furrowed, now it was not only he who thought so, it seemed that Lin Zhiping also agreed with this opinion. He took Liang Qichao's words and said:

"Oh, if that's the case, it's not necessarily a bad thing for us, after all, this Taiping Army is not a friend no matter what you say!"

Not only are they not friends, they are enemies at all. Zhang Liangji is naturally very clear about this, and it can even be said that from the perspective of the top and bottom of the house, the Taiping army is to some extent, even surpassing the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and is the biggest enemy in the house.

For example, in Zhang Liangji's eyes, the biggest enemy is the Taiping Army.

Looking at Lin Zhiping with interest, Zhang Liangji looked at him and smiled in his heart, "It's not a friend", there is something in this.

"Indeed, indeed!"

Zhang Liangji immediately agreed.

"If they fall into civil strife, then their power will inevitably be weakened, Zhongping, what do you think about this?"

"Of course, cannibalism is more fierce than foreign enemies!"

Regarding Zhang Liangji's question, Lin Zhiping nodded, and then said with a smile:

"So it's a good thing for us anyway. The more they kill their own people, the better it will be for us, and it will be easier to fight them in the future. ”

"Future ......"

Staring at Lin Zhiping, Zhang Liangji said.

"How far into the future? Zhongzi, if I say that when there was a bandit civil strife in Nanjing, it was when my army seized the city, what do you think? ”

Now Lin Zhiping finally knows Zhang Liangji's intention, and he is here to ask for support. His purpose couldn't be simpler, he wanted to get support from himself.

Support the use of troops against Nanjing!

"What does Mr. Shi Qing mean that the lord is going to use troops against Nanjing?"

Lin Zhiping pretended to be unclear.

"The lord wants to use soldiers?"

Of course, it is not the lord who wants to use soldiers, but he Zhang Liangji, who made him Zhang Liangji a native of Xuzhou, he is naturally willing to see the lord seize Nanjing and capture Su Anhui.

Shaking his head, Zhang Liangji smiled.

"It's not that the lord wants to use soldiers, but that we, as courtiers, must see that this matter is related to the well-being of hundreds of millions of Chinese people and the foundation of the country for thousands of years, and we can't stand idly by.

After expressing his intentions, Zhang Liangji continued.

"Only in this way, when he waits for the recovery of Nanjing, can we persuade the lord to ascend the throne and wave the Northern Expedition in the name of righteousness, otherwise it will be like now, living under the bandits, and the name is not right, how to go on the Northern Expedition?"

Lin Zhiping was not surprised by his explanation, not only in the palace, but also in the eyes of the civilian gentry, the Taiping army was a thief and a coward, and this point could not be changed, and the gentry in many places have always been concerned about when the lord will break with the "bandits."

So he reminded softly:

"Mr. Shi Qing, I heard that there seems to be some movement in the north recently!"

The northern side of his mouth refers to the troops stationed in Nanyang and northern Hubei Province.

"Lord, don't you want to use troops against Henan......"

"Henan is a new defeat of bandits, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty is eyeing Hebei, if we use troops against Henan at this time, it is tantamount to taking food from the tiger's mouth, and it will help to send bandits, and we as courtiers naturally cannot let the lord make such a mistake."

Staring at Lin Zhiping, Zhang Liangji said in an unusually solemn tone:

"Therefore, before the matter is a foregone conclusion, we must change the mind of the lord and persuade him to raise troops against Nanjing, take advantage of its civil strife, seize Nanjing, and master Jiangnan in preparation for the Northern Expedition in the future!"

Then, he said with a solemn expression.

"If we can seize this opportunity, at most the next year, the Manchu Qing can be overthrown, and then there will be a return to the sun, moon and sky of tomorrow!"

His eyes closed slightly, and Zhang Liangji sighed.

"If you miss this opportunity...... I'm afraid ......"

Glancing at Lin Zhiping, Zhang Liangji sighed and did not continue to speak.

"But I'm alone. It can't be done categorically, so ......"

Staring at Lin Zhiping, Zhang Liangji said.

"I need my brother to echo one or two at that time, I don't know what my brother thinks?"

As for Zhang Liangji's straightforward request, after thinking for a while, Lin Zhiping had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"Look at what Mr. Shi Qing said, such a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, how can the younger brother be willing to be the queen, but what kind of chaos can this civil strife in Nanjing become, there is no end yet......
