Headache!
The headache was splitting, and the roar in the ears was even more buzzing, further aggravating the pain in the skull.
What's going on?
What happened?
After a few moments, a thought came to his mind,
Defeated!
And it was a terrible defeat!
The soldiers brought from Guizhou, in less than half a pillar of incense, were defeated by the thief!
Once upon a time, Hu Linyi thought that he could show his skills in Hubei with great expectations, but who would have thought that Wu Wenlong's defeat and suicide would make him fall into a situation of being at a loss. And his hometown in Hunan, which is in danger, is worried about him, where will he go in the future?
In the past few days, Hu Linyi has been pondering the question of whether to sit in Hubei or return to Hunan. are all dilemmas.
If you are not trapped in Hubei, you will be defeated by the Han rebellion and return to Hunan, and the situation in Hunan is already in danger.
What to do?
Once upon a time, these questions were always entangled in Hu Linyi's mind day and night,
Now the defeat has become a relief, and many of the problems that plagued him before do not need to be considered anymore.
He's dead!
It's a good thing to be dead!
But the noise in his ears reminded him that he was still alive.
"Someone!"
The voice that came out of his throat was somewhat hoarse, faint and unknown. No one heard him at all.
Finding that no one was paying attention to him, he struggled to get up again, but Hu Linyi found that his body couldn't move at all, and the roar in his ears made his mind feel a sharp pain again!
I finally opened my eyes, but found that my vision was a little blurry, and even the characters I saw had ghosting.
After a long while, Hu Linyi, who was forced to sit up, slowly saw the surrounding environment clearly, this was obviously not the place he imagined...... It was not a prison, but a very neat and clean room, the room was filled with the smell of alcohol, and the sharp pain in his body came from where he found himself covered in bandages.
"Haven't you been taken captive by thieves?"
Just when this sense of luck and the bottom of his heart appeared, the words from outside the door made his heart sink.
"Is he awake?"
"Report to the battalion commander, the man is still asleep!"
Battalion commander!
Except for the leader of the thieves, who would use this title today, and only this so-called "righteous army" used these unknown official positions.
Actually taken captive by thieves!
Just when Hu Linyi sighed for his fate, he thought that his heart would reveal complex emotions such as grief and indignation, humiliation, etc., but to his surprise...... He didn't have these emotions in his heart at all, but felt a little lucky.
How so?
Even Hu Linyi himself couldn't figure out why he felt lucky when his mentality changed?
People's mentality is always so complicated, when they are in a dilemma and have no way out, people will always have some changes, just like Hu Linyi now, at least now he is captured by thieves, so that he no longer has to worry about whether he is trapped in Hubei, and then killed by thieves. Or go to Hunan but can't save their hometown parents, shame and indignation, and end up depressed.
For Hu Linyi, this is a kind of relief, but in addition to the relief, he has never had a trace of regret in his heart, as if he regrets that he can't show what he has learned and can't help the world.
"It's a pity ......"
When Hu Linyi let out this exclamation, Zhu Yifeng, who was hundreds of miles away in Wuchang, received the battle report from the front line, but at first he did not notice the battle report that a battalion had annihilated more than 1,000 Qing troops.
The combat effectiveness of the Qing army is very low, which is even beyond Zhu Yifeng's initial imagination, even the so-called training of Yong, which defeated the Taiping Army more than ten years later, and the regimental training troops of the Twist Army, Qi's combat effectiveness is also very low.
It is not only the combat effectiveness at the bottom, but also the will to fight, after a maximum of three or four rows of guns at a time, the formation of the Qing army will be on the verge of collapse, and often the bayonet charge will change from impact to pursuit at the beginning.
Of course, this also has a lot to do with the fact that most of these regimental exercises have just been formed, and as for the green battalion, they regard them as opponents.
A battalion fighting more than 1,000 Qing troops will even make people feel a little overkill, after all, previous battles have shown that under normal circumstances, the rebels who use firearms can defeat 3 to 5 times the Qing army.
Because of this, when reading this battle report, Zhu Yifeng just swept it away, but just as he was about to put down the battle report, one of the names attracted his attention,
"Hu Linyi!"
Not only was Zhu Yifeng surprised, but Li Ziyuan couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this name.
"The Metropolitan Governor, this Hu Linyi, is famous in Guizhou, he is not only good at suppressing bandits, but also good at governing the place. As Lord Hu, he is not a corrupt official, in fact, he, a local official in Guizhou, came through donations. It was after his worries recovered, he felt that there was little room for improvement in the vacancy of an official in Beijing, and his students also thought that he was talented and could make more achievements as a magistrate, so they pooled money to donate money to him to a prefect. According to the current donation example, the official can choose his own land, and he could have chosen a developed place and picked a fat shortage to be an official. But he was born on the right path, and he was an official, and the donation to the official had disgraced him, so he would rather go to a remote place to distinguish himself from those who lost money as officials. This person, in the prefect of Anshun, Guizhou, is determined to stabilize the party. He often wore shoes and short clothes, went deep into the masses to find out the situation of the bandits, led the officers and soldiers to fight the bandits hundreds of times, calmed down the local Miao people's uprisings, and pacified the party, which can be said to be quite praised by the people! ”
Among the rebels, I am afraid that only he, a native of Guizhou, knows Hu Linyi's name, understands his personality, knows his affairs in Guizhou, and knows his ability to be a rational political army. In fact, he is not the only one who knows him, even Lin Ping, who is from Hubei, has also heard of Hu Linyi's name.
"The Metropolitan Governor, although Hu Runzhi and Guizhou do not know about the matter, but the matter of donating grain for disaster relief in the old days has spread to Huguang, and in May of the 11th year of Daoguang, the Yuanxiang flood, Yiyang was seriously affected, and the hungry people were displaced. At that time, he was studying at home, and because he was worried that the hungry people would have no food and become chaotic people, he said angrily, "Xiucai should take the world as his own responsibility", and stood up to meet the county order, "Please make up a household registration according to the disaster area, and persuade the rich people to give money for relief." He also put forward a specific disaster relief plan, that is, to order the affected localities to make household registers according to the situation of wealth and poverty, and divide them into upper, middle, and lower levels. In order to supervise the protection of the armor and prevent its fraud, it is recommended to "select the local gentry to cooperate in the handling, one is to the town and the other is to avoid the deception of the armor". In view of the fact that the persuasion was resisted by the rich people, and there was no movement for more than ten days, he had to "advocate it" in anger, first asked his father-in-law's family to donate 2,000 taels of silver as an example, and then persuaded other rich people with painstaking words, "with sincerity, with great righteousness, with danger, with rewards and persuasion", and finally everyone enthusiastically donated money, and immediately received tens of thousands of gold. "Already, scattered rice and table food, all alive and well." At that time, Hu Runzhi was only 20 years old, and he was also famous in Huguang, although he was in the remote area of Huangzhou, he also admired him for a long time. ”
Others' appreciation of Hu Linyi only caused Zhu Yifeng to nod his head from time to time, but his heart set off a wave of waves, perhaps in history, Hu Linyi's reputation is not as prominent as Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, Li Hongzhang and others, but in fact, Hu Linyi and the three of them are called the "Four Famous Ministers of Zhongxing", if it were not for his death in Wuchang hemoptysis, I am afraid that there will be such a local important official in the history of the late Qing Dynasty.
Now such a "Four Famous Ministers of Zhongxing" was defeated by himself in Hubei, to be precise, by a small battalion commander in the Righteous Army, how not to make Zhu Yifeng sigh.
"Hurunzhi ......"
Reading the name silently, while sighing, Zhu Yifeng naturally thought of Zuo Zongtang, who was imprisoned in a deep prison by himself, and now two of the "Four Famous Ministers of Zhongxing in the Late Qing Dynasty" were defeated by themselves and captured by themselves, if they could be accepted as use, then ......
can think of Zuo Zongtang's stubbornness, Zhu Yifeng has a headache.
It's a pity to kill, but if you don't kill it...... It is obviously not possible to let the tiger return to the mountain, maybe Zhuge Liang can capture Meng Shu seven times, but he is not Zhuge Liang, that is, he does not have his courage, let alone his ability, so letting the tiger return to the mountain will eventually become a disaster, and this person can't let go.
That is, kill or use!
After pondering for a moment, Zhu Yifeng said regretfully.
"It's a pity that such a useful person can't be used by me!"
The Metropolitan Governor's concession only made Li Ziyuan, Lin Zhiping, and the faces of the people change slightly, and from this simple exclamation, they heard the murderous intent in the heart of the Metropolitan Governor.
Those who can be used by me will naturally welcome each other, and those who cannot be used by me will naturally be killed with a knife, so as not to cause trouble for others, and people like Hu Runzhi who have a great talent can naturally not let go, there are only two choices, either use or kill, and it is impossible to let it be used by the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
"The Metropolitan Governor, this person's talent is far more than the minister's dozens of times, if it can be owned by the Metropolitan Governor, why should the Metropolitan Governor worry about not being able to achieve great things? In the opinion of the ministers, I might as well let people send them to Wuchang first, and then the governor of the capital will personally lobby, and it will be able to be used by me, if it is ......"
In addition to Lin Zhiping's persuasion, he glanced at Li Ziyuan again, don't you admire his talent? Why don't you talk now, but Lin Zhiping knows what Li Ziyuan will be thinking, but what he is thinking about is another question, if Hu Linyi enters the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, where will he be at that time? Just when this selfishness was surging, feeling Lin Zhiping's gaze, Li Ziyuan hurriedly said.
"Yes, Dadu Governor, Hu Runzhi's talent is far greater than ours, if it is used by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it will definitely be a disaster for my righteous army!"
Li Ziyuan spoke quite skillfully, and he seemed to be pleading for Hu Linyi, but he was actually euphemistically persuading the capital to kill him, while Zhu Yifeng nodded and said.
"Yes, if it can't be used by me, it will indeed be a problem for my henchmen......" (To be continued.) )
