in the hall. Long Xi was wearing a new-style military uniform, with a saber hanging from his waist, and his expression was serious, as if he was dressed as a lieutenant general in Li Zhenjun. Long Er to Long Thirteen all sat in the hall, waiting for Li Zhen to come. It didn't take long for the sound of steady and hurried footsteps outside the hall. Everyone followed the prestige and found that it was Li Zhen who was striding forward.

Long Xi took the lead in standing up, raised his hand and saluted: "Handsome!" ”

The rest of the people raised their hands in salute and their voices were loud.

Li Zhen smiled and waved his hand: "Sit, no need to be formal." ”

Li Zhen stepped forward, sat down and said, "Brother Long brought all the brothers, is there anything wrong?" ”

Long Xi nodded, and said slowly: "Marshal, the bandits and dog-headed military divisions who returned to Guangzhou with us have been arranged to train in the army and have begun to integrate into the barracks. However, the 12 brothers under my command have never been found, and it has always been difficult to find their place. I didn't make arrangements myself, but the brothers couldn't do without them! ”

In the past few days, Long Xi has been waiting, but unfortunately there is no news.

He couldn't wait, so he rushed to ask.

Long Er interjected: "Dashuai, you shouldn't have recruited us to Guangzhou, so you plan to put us on hold." If this continues, the brothers will complain. ”

Long Er's speech was not as tactful as Long Xi's, he was straightforward, and he didn't care about Li Zhen's feelings.

After Li Zhen heard this, he knew the crux of the problem.

Li Zhen arched his hand and said: "Brother Long, brothers, this time the incident is my mistake, I apologize to everyone, please understand." But rest assured, I already have an idea of what you will do. ”

When the people heard this, the resentment in their hearts immediately disappeared a lot.

Li Zhenneng put down his body, and they were also very moved.

Long Yu said: "Dare to ask Dashuai, what are the arrangements of the brothers? ”

Li Zhen said: "Don't hide it from Brother Long, I have already considered the whereabouts of Brother Long and the whereabouts of the other twelve brothers. At present, the civilian and military generals are ready, hospitals, finances have appeared, and even newspapers are in operation, but there is only a lack of a person to spy on intelligence. ”

After a pause, Li Zhen continued: "Brother Long's footprints are all over the world, and he is still familiar with Guangdong. I plan to let Brother Long be in charge of intelligence and find out the news. As for the other twelve brothers, they also follow Brother Long to do things together, what does Brother Long think? ”

After hearing this, Long Xi did not answer immediately, but thought slowly.

Ryuuji's eyes lit up, and he was very excited.

Information!

This is an extremely important matter, and it is definitely Li Zhen's henchman. Li Zhen put Long Xi in charge of intelligence, obviously treating Long Xi as a confidant.

For a while, Ryuuji was happy in his heart.

At the same time, Long San to Long Thirteen were all excited, and motioned for Long Xi to agree.

After thinking about it clearly, Long Xi nodded slightly, and also recognized Li Zhen's suggestion, but said: "Da Shuai's order, I naturally accept it unconditionally, and I also thought that Da Shuai would inquire about intelligence and contribute to Da Shuai's cause." It's just that in the past few days in the army, I have become familiar with the basic situation of the army. The army is divided into brigade commanders, regiment commanders, battalion tent and platoon commanders, etc., but there are only 12 people under my command. ”

As far as the official position is concerned, he doesn't take it to heart.

As long as he can do things, Long Xi can agree.

However, Long Xi didn't care about his own affairs, but he was always worried about the affairs of his brothers. He was not worried about the twelve brothers below, so he wanted to plan a good future for the twelve brothers, and he was very concerned about this matter.

Li Zhen scratched his head and said slowly: "Regarding the matter of official positions, I must tell everyone that this requires abiding by the rules of the army. The brothers are temporarily obedient, and they have not made an inch, so they have no official position, and they are still the lowest soldiers. As the person in charge of intelligence, Brother Long also has only one position as a company commander. After making meritorious deeds, you can slowly rise. As long as you can make meritorious contributions, the rest is easy to say. ”

Without waiting for Long Xi to speak, Long Thirteen said, "Okay, according to Admiral Li's arrangement." ”

Obviously, he supported Li Zhen's approach.

Long Er, Long Wu and others echoed and agreed with Li Zhen's suggestion. They are people with real skills, they don't need Li Zhen's care, and they can earn meritorious deeds by virtue of their own strength.

Li Zhen said: "Brother Long, because the intelligence department has just been formed, there are only you for the time being, and it will be increased in the future." It is believed that after the establishment of the intelligence department, this will be a separate department that is not weaker than the rest of the regiments. ”

Long Yu smiled: "I hope it can be the same as what Dashuai said." ”

Li Zhen continued: "The title of the thirteen of you is to be the thirteen guards of the dragon group, what do you think?" ”

"Thirteen Dragons Guard!"

Long Xi muttered, and the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter. 'Dragon' refers to Long Xi's surname, and 'Thirteen' refers to their thirteen people in charge of intelligence. The dragon group has thirteen guards, which is a good name.

Long Xi nodded and said, "Okay, just do what the adults say." ”

Li Zhen smiled and said, "Brother Long will take the brothers to prepare, and the day after tomorrow, I will set off for Yangzhou with the army, and Brother Long will also take the brothers with him at that time." ”

"Yes!"

Long Xi solved the big problem in his heart, with a happy smile on his face, and respectfully retreated.

Next, Li Zhen sent people to find Fan Kai, Bo Jia, Mu Zhongyuan and others, inquired in detail about the situation of the hospital, and learned about the financial situation in Guangzhou. Knowing that both are developing rapidly, the smile on Li Zhen's face has never broken.

Li Zhen carefully calculated the current development situation in Guangdong, and frowned slightly.

Guns, ammunition, hospitals, finance, and so on have been involved, but these are only involved in general industry, not heavy heavy industry, and even minerals have yet to be developed, and it is still an unsound development model. Li Zhen had a mind in his heart, kept the matter in his heart, and waited for it to be implemented in the future, after all, he couldn't find such a talent under his command.

Li Zhen almost went through the affairs of Guangzhou before he put his mind at ease.

For the rest of the things, Li Zhen has no time to take care of so much.

In mid-May, Li Zhen left Guangzhou with four regiments of 8,000 soldiers and marched towards the location of the former Jiangbei camp outside Yangzhou. When Li Zhen arrived with his troops, it was already the end of June, which happened to be the time when Li Zhen traveled to this era. Two years ago, in the third year of Xianfeng (1853), Li Zhen came to this strange but familiar world. Two years later, Li Zhen was already a feudal official, but he came here again.

Li Zhen's army arrived, ordered to set up camp, and began to prepare for battle.

……

Nanjing, Dongwangfu.

In the splendid hall, Yang Xiuqing sat directly above, and below was a group of generals. After a lapse of more than half a year, Li Xiucheng was restored to his former official position from a small soldier guarding the city, and he was also among them. Yang Xiuqing's gaze swept over the civilian and military generals, and said in a deep voice: "I have received the news a few days ago, Li Zhen led the army to reorganize the Jiangbei camp in Yangzhou, what do you think?" ”

"Wow!!"

All of a sudden, there was a noise below.

Everyone was frightened when they heard that Li Zhen was leading the army to reorganize the Jiangbei camp outside Yangzhou. The whole scene was out of control, and some people were even more frightened.
