Chapter 116 - Delivery
Returning to Suizhou again, Jin Yishan, whose wish was not fulfilled, was a little dissatisfied...... But as a courtier, Jin Yishan can't!
I can only find a way to tie the knot next time, and the task is still important. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Unfolding the map again, Jin Yishan pondered, the next steps, only need to pass through the junction of Xinyang and Nanyang, and soon arrive at Zhumadian, after coming out for a few months, he can finally complete the task and return to Hainan......
At the same time, Jin Yishan sneered again, the two grass kings before even wanted to let him send the rifle to Kaifeng.
But who knows that Jin Yishan has a telegram...... Zhang Yun asked them to pass through Zhoukou from Kaifeng to Zhumadian to wait for arms and supplies!
Some people just can't figure themselves out, they always think that they are a character, but they never thought that in Zhang Yun's eyes, who can be regarded as a character in this country?
Not to mention Yang Desheng and Zhou Yuancheng, the two grass-headed kings, Li Hongzhang and Cixi, Zhang Yun has never looked at them squarely......
Correspondingly, Jin Yishan, the senior officers of the Patriotic Army, naturally never looked at these two grass kings.
Therefore, Jin Yishan is of course very disgusted by what they ask for this and that!
Fortunately, this time they were more obedient, perhaps because their subordinates were too damaged, and they were eager to replenish their strength, so their waists had to bend a little more than usual...... Very obediently, he pulled the large army to Zhumadian, and then waited quietly.
Of course, Jin Yishan doesn't want to care about these, what he is concerned about at present is to hurry up and pass through the junction of Xinyang and Nanyang to safely deliver this batch of arms and materials in his hand to Zhumadian.
As for the next big dramas, the Patriotic Army is not the protagonist......
"Where did Jin Yishan go?" Zhou Yuancheng asked his subordinates with a blushing face.
And his subordinate Tanma cautiously replied: "According to the detection of the small ones, the cavalry unit of the Patriotic Army has entered Queshan County, and at their speed, it is expected to arrive in Runan the day after tomorrow." ā
"It is estimated that it will take three or four days to reach Xincai County, and the situation is roughly like this......"
While looking at Zhou Yuancheng's stinky face, he was frightened and talked a lot.
Seeing the obscene appearance of his subordinates, Zhou Yuancheng was angry, and was about to reprimand him when the tent door suddenly opened!
Before Zhou Yuancheng wanted to be angry...... A voice came from outside the door, saving the lives of the guards guarding the door.
"Zhou Yuancheng, you have such a big shelf, why did Lao Tzu take the initiative to come to see you, and you still have to be blocked out of the door by your guards?"
When Zhou Yuancheng heard this, he was even more angry, Yang Desheng was just as hateful, and he never gave himself full respect......
When Zhou Yuancheng scolded: "Your Lord Yang came to visit in person, and you didn't hand over a name post or anything in advance, wouldn't it be wonderful if there was any misunderstanding in your life?" ā
Yang Desheng was directly angry, and said with a smile: "If you want to be polite to Lao Tzu, I'm afraid you Zhou Yuancheng don't have this ability, not to mention that now we are all lost dogs, it's better to unite some." ā
"Only when the fist is clenched, it will hurt when you fight people, what do you say?"
ā¦ā¦
The two of them kept sneering, and Zhou Yuancheng's subordinates in the tent were very embarrassed!
Seeing the embarrassment of the adults at the top was not a good thing for the subordinates, but they didn't dare to go without getting the order.
Fortunately, Zhou Yuancheng didn't want to continue to lose face, so he waved his hand from outside the tent, and seeing his action, his subordinates left quickly as if they were amnesty......
When there were only two people in the tent, Zhou Yuancheng sighed and said: "Jin Yishan is deliberately delaying time, along the way, it is like playing in the mountains and rivers, completely fooling us two brothers." ā
"I just arrived in Queshan County today, and when he sends us the military to Xincai, I'm afraid we will have to wait a few more days, but Lao Tzu can't wait, do you say we will go to Runan to wait for him?"
"By the way, I would also like to express our attitude to the Patriotic Army, you can't fool us like this!"
Yang Desheng kept tapping lightly on the table with his fingers, and after Zhou Yuancheng finished speaking, he shook his head and said, "Zhang Yun won't face us squarely, so there is no need to do some small actions at all." ā
"Do you think you can bring down Jin Yishan?"
"I've been waiting for so long, and I don't care about how many days I have, not to mention that he has already entered Zhumadian, how long can he delay?"
"Besides, the Manchu side of the arms does not seem to be going well in the purchase, the foreigners seem to have forced them to sign a lot of unequal treaties, and now the gentry families in various places have expressed great dissatisfaction with the imperial court, and the foundation of their rule is shaking."
"Therefore, the foreigners are also stuck with their arms, and they have not delivered them until now......"
"This means that we are on the same starting line as Zuo Zongtang, and we want to take revenge? There's still a chance! ā
Yang Desheng talked about unequal treaties, and Zhou Yuancheng was very interested!
"I heard that the Manchu court wanted to cede Zhang Yun's territory in the south and make a colony for the British, but the British were not stupid and did not agree, and their goal was Songhu ......"
"As a result, the imperial court didn't agree again, it seems that Li Hongzhang is involved again, after all, all the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions today have the surname Li Hongzhang......"
Seeing Zhou Yuancheng discussing excitedly, these things have nothing to do with his own family!
Yang Desheng had to interrupt him and said: "Zhang Yun's attitude towards the British is our attitude towards the British, my Lord Zhou, don't get confused, it won't look good then!" ā
"What's more, no matter how many treaties have been reached between the Manchu court and Li Hongzhang and the red-haired barbarians? Zhang Yun would not admit any of them, because they were originally hostile. ā
"If it were you Zhou Yuancheng, would you admit the rules set by Zuo Zongtang?"
"So we don't need to discuss this, let's discuss it earlier, how many thousands of rifles can Zuo Zongtang get this time? It's more realistic! ā
Zhou Yuancheng blinked, a little dissatisfied with Yang Desheng's interruption of his tirade, but there were more important things at the moment, so he didn't dwell on this matter.
"What are you going to do this time when you get your rifle?" Zhou Yuancheng asked again.
Yang Desheng glanced at him, pouted and said, "Of course, it is modeled on Zhang Yundi's Patriotic Army and re-established a new army!" ā
Then he said: "It's not Lao Tzu who said you, do you think it's still the era of using big blades?" Give it back to your subordinates, keep those messy official positions...... What's the use? ā
Zhou Yuancheng's face sank, the reason why he still clinged to the old routine after Yang Desheng had already reformed with the Patriotic Military Academy.
It's just that Zhou Yuancheng feels that this title system of the Patriotic Army is not good to listen to and is not majestic enough!
But now it seems that it has reached the point where it is necessary to reform, and if it doesn't change, with the pace of nervous Yun, I'm afraid Zhang Yun can't help but talk and cut off his supplies......
Zhou Yuancheng pondered, 60,000 rifles can only be modeled after the Patriotic Army to form an integrated corps, which is really distressing!
The most important thing is the command system, which is completely different from the current subordinates...... Many things are incompatible with the current system of the Taiping Army.
What's more, if you set up an integrated corps commander for these 60,000 people, then what is the use of yourself, the king of the Taiping Army? Is it encouraging others to usurp the throne?
When Zhou Yuancheng told his concerns, Yang Desheng laughed silently......
After a long time, Yang Desheng said: "Regarding the question of the command system, we can do it, and we don't set up the level of the integrated corps, and even the army level, just omit it!" ā
"Wouldn't it be nice for the two of us to directly command the division level in this way?"
"Let's change the establishment a little bit, it's not exactly the same as the Patriotic Army, for example, a division, I will set it up to about 6,000 people...... In this way, although the two of us are a little tired, at least we are not afraid that someone with a heart will come to seek a usurpation of the throne! ā
"Because even if he co-opts one or two division commanders, he can't shake the status of the two of us, and even makes us aware that he is still in danger......"
When Yang Desheng said this, he immediately glanced around the entire tent, although he didn't see anyone, he didn't continue to speak, but pointed his finger to the south.
Zhou Yuancheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, who was Yang Desheng talking about......
What's more, there are some signs in his army, which directly point to the south.
When the topic comes to this, the two have no interest in continuing!
After all, Zhang Yun's infiltration of the Taiping Army, Yang Desheng and Zhou Yuancheng knew it, but sometimes they couldn't resist.
Yang Desheng chose to be a turtle with a shrunken head, and Zhou Yuancheng occasionally resisted...... But these small actions can't change the fact that he is a puppet!
So when the topic came to this, the two naturally got cold...... After being silent for a while, Yang Desheng stood up and left.
Before leaving, he left a sentence, "Let's develop our own strength as soon as possible!" ā
Zhou Yuancheng pursed his lips tightly, but did not respond to Yang Desheng's words.
This kind of feeling as if sending people under the fence is really aggrieved enough, and sometimes, Zhou Yuancheng even wants to break the jar, so he simply stands up and opposes Zhang Yun on the surface!
It's just that after careful calculations, the armed forces of the whole world.
Zhou Yuancheng was frustrated and found that even if he immediately joined forces with Li Hongzhang now, it would be useless, which battle in Cai County in Zhumadian!
Li Hongzhang, who came with great momentum, originally felt that in the eyes of people all over the world, he could wrestle his wrist with Zhang Yun......
But in the end, he lost so badly that he even lost his wife, and he didn't even do much, and everything was over!
It can be said that it was precisely because of the battle in Shangcai County that Zhou Yuancheng, who had always wanted to be self-reliant, forcibly resisted the stupid desire in his heart......
The kind of ability to directly annihilate more than 200,000 well-trained new troops armed with new rifles in a few hours.
Whenever he dreamed back at midnight, Zhou Yuancheng couldn't help but tremble!
For Zhou Yuancheng, who still has a covetous heart in this world, the scene of Li Hongzhang being completely defeated that day deeply shocked him......
Sometimes, he wonders, who else in this world is worthy of being Zhang Yun's opponent?
Many people know that Zhang Yun killed Li Hongzhang by poisoning, and the reason why Zhou Yuancheng had two hearts was also because he felt that since Zhang Yun could get to his current status with a handful of poison, then he could too.
However, after many experiments and consultations with many so-called people who are good at poisoning......
Zhou Yuancheng found that poisoning is not so easy, unless you do it in the water source, there is no poison that can poison a large range of people at the same time.
And as for poisoning water sources!
Even if Zhou Yuancheng felt that no matter how smart he was and how clever the strategy he came up with, he couldn't expect the world's heroes like Zhang Yun and Li Hongzhang to be in this situation.
After all, Zhou Yuancheng asked himself in his heart, even if he was a big old man, after he became developed, he found a lot of military books and pretended to learn a lot.
At least what marches by water...... and so on, I learned a lot of the art of war, and correspondingly, Li Hongzhang and Zhang Yun, haven't they learned the book of war?
Don't they know that when they march to war, they need to guard against the poisoning of their waters?
The more Zhou Yuancheng thought about it, the more desperate he became...... If this trend continues.
Himself, Yang Desheng, and all the people in the Taiping Army will always only be able to become a knife in the hands of Zhang Yun or Li Hongzhang! When is this kind of day a head?
The difference is only that he chooses to be Li Hongzhang or Zhang Yun's knife!
Thinking of this, Zhou Yuancheng reacted again and figured it out, a certain thing that he had been unable to figure out before, Yang Desheng was probably Zhang Yun.
Because judging from Yang Desheng's various behaviors, since the last defeat in Shandong, he has restrained a lot, and he is no longer the same as before, at least on the surface.
As for secretly, what kind of male thief and female prostitute he is! Then it is not known!
Of course, Zhou Yuancheng naturally knew some of Yang Desheng's small actions of the two grass kings who were both Taiping Army, but the camps were different, and the two of them didn't ask each other too much about each other.
"Hey...... It seems that it is time to have an open and honest discussion with Yang Desheng, how should we go in the future? Where should I go? ā
Zhou Yuancheng silently muttered these words in his heart, knocked on the table with his hand, and sent out a set of secret signals.
After a while, a few beautiful women came in from outside, and of course, good food and wine were inevitable, these are all things that should be in the question!
What is the way forward? That was for later......
At least in the eyes of Zhou Yuancheng, who was born in a low-level, grasping the power in his hands and having fun in time is the most important thing!
At this time, in another slightly luxurious tent, Yang Desheng was calming his face, and kept asking the masked man standing not far away about Zhou Yuancheng!
Originally, I wanted to find out about his movements, after all, the Taiping Army suffered another big change, as the two grass kings who were supported by Zhang Yun.
Yang Desheng desperately wanted to know, what did Zhou Yuancheng think?
turned out to get an answer that made Yang Desheng a little crying and laughing.
At this juncture, Zhou Yuancheng is still prostituting himself during the day...... When he heard this, Yang Desheng waved his hand and asked the masked man standing under the tent to withdraw, because he felt that there was no need to continue asking!
Zhou Yuancheng is so unsupportable, and he is as stupid as a pig, if it weren't for creating a certain illusion for Zhang Yun, Yang Desheng doesn't know how many ways to encroach on Zhou Yuancheng's troops.
It was precisely in order to give Zhang Yun, a situation in which the two grass kings of the Taiping Army were currently evenly matched, containing and resisting each other, that Yang Desheng felt that he was very tired!
If it weren't for the purpose of leaving a competitor for himself, Zhou Yuancheng would have gone to the Hades Palace at this time and pledged his allegiance to the Hades and his old man!
Sometimes a stupid person doesn't know how stupid he is!
Zhou Yuancheng is like this, he doesn't know his small actions, even Yang Desheng is already clear, do you still hope to be able to hide it from Zhang Yun?
He didn't know that he was a clown, and when Zhang Yun wanted to clean him up one day, he couldn't run away at all...... You can only wait for death!
He also tried his best to contact Li Hongzhang, jumping non-stop, didn't he Zhou Yuancheng, he didn't know that Li Hongzhang's subordinates were all greedy for money, and the entire military camp was like a sieve that kept leaking......
Want to count on them to keep it a secret for you, it's not a joke, what?
But Zhou Huancheng thought that what he did was very secret, and no one knew about it......
"Hey......"
Thinking of this, Yang Desheng couldn't help but sigh, stupidity is really hopeless.
Leaving Zhou Yuancheng behind, Yang Desheng began to think about the situation in front of him again, if he wanted to say that he didn't want to go to the capital to find Zuo Zongtang to avenge this, no one would believe it.
But with stupid teammates like Zhou Yuancheng, do this thing together!
Yang Desheng only felt that the prospect was a little bad, although Yang Desheng didn't know anything, his teammates were incompetent, and he was tired of the three armies...... I'm not afraid of god-like opponents, I'm only afraid of pig-like teammates and the like.
But Yang Desheng knows very well that if you cooperate with stupid people, you must be prepared to be pitted.
In case Zhou Yuan becomes such a fool, if one day his brain has a convulsion and goes directly to Li Hongzhang, it will also be a big trouble.
What's more, at such a critical time now, if Zhou Yuancheng lures the wolf into the house again, he is carried away by hatred, and he forcibly leads Li Hongzhang to the capital, ready to help him take revenge......
Originally, Yang Desheng didn't want to worry about this kind of thing, because a normal person would not do this kind of thing at all, the key is that Zhou Yuancheng is not normal!
ā¦ā¦
Yang Desheng knocked on the table again and again, and gradually had a plan in his heart, and at the same time, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, thinking in his heart, see in the end, who will be unlucky at that time?
Another three days passed, and Jin Yishan finally led a team of 50,000 or 60,000 cavalry, crossed Runan County, and officially arrived at Xincai.
Yang Desheng and Zhou Yuancheng greeted him with smiles on their faces, and there is no need to mention the various corrupt programs that followed, but fortunately, Jin Yishan knew.
The Taiping Army has long been infiltrated by Zhang Yun like a sieve, and they are enjoying it here, and after some things that should not be enjoyed, the news will definitely reach Zhang Yun's ears in the end.
Therefore, after hurriedly unloading the goods and supervising Zhou Yuancheng and Yang Desheng to divide all the guns and ammunition equally, Jin Yishan embarked on the return journey, and he should not come back to the Central Plains in a short time!
Of course, before leaving, Jin Yishan pretended to be stupid about the small box sent by Yang Desheng and Zhou Yuancheng, and accepted it silently...... Who doesn't love treasure?
For these money that are destined to be hidden, Jin Yishan naturally laughs at it, and even if it is known to Zhang Yun, it is not a big deal, at most it will not be reused in the future!
But the power will not change much, after all, as long as you don't work against Zhang Yun, you don't think about calculating Zhang Yun's words all day long.
Jin Yishan feels that being an official and doing it to his own point should not be afraid of some small winds and waves!
So put away the bribes, especially the bribes sent by Yang Desheng and Zhou Yuancheng, they were at ease and fearless!
This time, Jin Yishan had no task in his body, plus all the cavalry, all of them were one man and three horses, so the speed of the return trip was extremely fast, and within two days, he returned to Suizhou, Hubei......
When he arrived here, Jin Yishan let go, and the heart he had been carrying was at least no longer afraid of any accidents, such as the Taiping Army suddenly turned his face...... Li Hongzhang suddenly called or something.
Therefore, when camping at night, Jin Yishan also took out the wooden box that the two grass-headed kings gave to him, and at the same time, there was an extreme eagerness in his eyes......
You must know that those two grass kings have looted the entire capital, and the good things in them are not like mountains and seas?
As for being intercepted by Zuo Zongtang on the way, those are just a large number of silver money and materials, real good things, Jin Yishan believes that those two grass kings are not so stupid!
Remembering to himself, Jin Yishan felt that he had obtained that batch of extremely precious jewels, and he must have carried them with him or put them with his cronies, and would never put them in the carriage.
The box gradually opened, and under the faint candlelight, the entire box shimmered with colorful brilliance...... Jin Yishan also gradually began to gasp for breath.
If it weren't for the fact that the conditions didn't allow it now, Jin Yishan would even want to look up to the sky and laugh!
