Li Zhenxiao said: "The appointment of officials from the Ministry of Education. My plan is to continue to use the military establishment and make appointments according to the rank of brigade, regiment and battalion. This method of appointment is good for our current development, because it is simple enough and conducive to our current development. If it's too complicated, it's not good. ”

When Zheng Zaoru and Huang Shihai heard this, they were stunned.

The two looked at each other and felt cheated, because this suggestion was really unexpected by the two. Originally, the two thought that Li Zhen would have some strange and abrupt suggestions, but they didn't expect it to be such an 'accident'.

Seeing this, Li Zhen asked with a smile: "What, do you think it's bad?" ”

"No, it's good, it's good!"

Huang Shihai nodded again and again, with a smile on his face.

Zheng Zaoru also said: "Very good! "Words are like gold, just two words.

Li Zhen said: "Since you all think the suggestion is good, let's make it like this." After Huang Shihai went down, he finalized the charter, and then submitted it to me for confirmation, and then printed and distributed. Mr. Zheng just came to help me with things, and it hasn't been long, but you are talented, and I can't wronged you, so I temporarily appointed you as the battalion commander. After you go down, you have to quickly form a staff member of the Ministry of Education, and the people you choose must be able to speak well. I will randomly check and assess these people, if you draw people who are not clean in thinking and speak in an incoherent manner, you will ask for the guilt yourself. I provided everything you need, but I also asked for it - rather than more. ”

Zheng Zaoru said loudly: "Don't worry, I will definitely live up to my expectations." ”

Li Zhen looked at Huang Shihai and said, "Tell me about the situation of the captives!" ”

Huang Qiang nodded and said: "Fifteen thousand captives, after some selection, two thousand soldiers were selected to come out, and these two thousand soldiers have been educated by Mr. Zheng and other people in the army who have educated the captives, ensuring the loyalty of these two thousand soldiers, and they are definitely loyal." The remaining 13,000 people, under the guidance of officials from the Ministry of Education headed by Mr. Zheng, all changed their minds and then left for Guangdong. After the people go, Guangdong's development will certainly be raised to a higher level. ”

"Good!!"

Li Zhen praised it, and his face also showed satisfaction.

With two thousand more soldiers in the army, his strength was further strengthened. At the same time, Guangdong has more population, and its development will also grow, which will be of great benefit to Guangdong in the future.

Huang Shihai continued: "Everything is fine in the camp, but Li Xiucheng, who was captured, still refuses to let go. This guy would rather die than surrender, his bones are too hard. ”

Li Zhen said: "It's okay, he can't hold on for too long, don't leave him alone for the time being." ”

For Li Xiucheng, Li Zhen is very clear.

After Li Xiucheng enlisted in the army from a nobody, he was quickly reused by Yang Xiuqing. Because Li Xiucheng is grateful for Yang Xiuqing's reuse, he has great respect for Yang Xiuqing, and he would even rather die than live up to Yang Xiuqing's reuse. Li Zhen wants to subdue Li Xiucheng, and it is obviously impossible for Yang Xiuqing not to die. Therefore, Li Zhen patiently waited for Yang Xiuqing to be killed.

In this regard, Li Zhen has enough patience.

Li Zhen changed his words and asked, "What has happened to the gentry near Yangzhou recently?" ”

Huang Shihai said: "The gentry have begun to buy grain and restrict the entry of grain into Nanjing. It's just that it's the end of summer, and Nanjing has also begun to enter the stage of harvesting grain, and the Taiping army in Nanjing has food, and there will be no shortage of food for a while. After autumn, their grain control in Nanjing can be effective. ”

Li Zhen's eyes rolled, and he understood the intentions of the gentry.

The gentry did not buy grain on a large scale, but wanted to use gentle and inconspicuous means to deal with Hong Xiuquan, so as not to expose their own situation. Li Zhen didn't pursue it, waved his hand and said: "The basic things are clear, let's go down, I'll rest for a while." ”

The two took their leave, and Li Zhen rested in the tent.

In the evening, Li Zhen ordered the whole army to celebrate.

After some celebration, the soldiers in the army were very drunk and staggered down in the camp. In the entire barracks, only the soldiers of the regiment under Smith remained awake and guarded the camp.

For three consecutive days after Li Zhen returned to the camp, the camp was full of joy and celebration.

After three days, the camp fell silent.

Training in the camp is back to normal and is starting to get back on track.

……

Nanjing, Dongwangfu.

Yang Xiuqing stood at the door of the main hall, looking out eagerly, her eyes full of expectation. The soldiers standing guard around were surprised when they saw Yang Xiuqing greet him in person, and began to guess who Yang Xiuqing would be greeting? There is such a big face. You must know that Yang Xiuqing is 9,000 years old, and he is already above 10,000 people under one person.

Even if Hong Xiuquan, the king of heaven, came, Yang Xiuqing never greeted him like this.

Who is it? With such a big face!

A steady and powerful sound of footsteps came from outside.

A moment later, a burly man walked in. The man was dressed in armor, with his left hand resting on the hilt of the sword chosen at his waist, and strode forward, each step steady and powerful, revealing the smell of rigidity. He was born with a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, two thick beards hanging on his lips, and his chin was full of stubble, giving people a rough feeling.

Especially his eyebrows were like two long swords, and he gave birth to a murderous aura. As soon as this man appeared, the soldiers standing in the doorway widened their eyes and showed surprise.

Yang Xiuqing greeted him and shouted, "Wing King, I have been waiting for you for a long time for my brother, and I want to wear it!" ”

The person who came was the Wing King Shi Dakai.

He was ordered by Yang Xiuqing to withdraw from Jiangxi and only returned to Nanjing today. Shi Dakai went to see Hong Xiuquan first, and then came to Dongwangfu non-stop to meet Yang Xiuqing. Shi Dakai looked at Yang Xiuqing and said, "I haven't seen my brother for a long time, my brother has been reduced!" If you want to come here for a period of time, you need to pay attention to your body! ”

Yang Xiuqing took Shi Dakai's hand and said, "Let's go, let's go into the hall." ”

The two entered the temple, leaving behind the stunned soldiers at the door.

One of them asked in a low voice, "What happened, why did the Wing King come back?" "Shi Dakai has unparalleled prestige among the soldiers of the Taiping Army, and he is the god of war who has won consecutive battles.

Shi Dakai came back, much to the surprise of the soldiers.

The other person smiled coldly and said disdainfully: "Don't you know about the defeat of Dongwang and Xiao Wangniang?" The Wing King led his soldiers back to Tianjing in order to clean up Li Zhen. ”

The soldier who had just begun to speak nodded, a look of surprise.

In the main hall, Yang Xiuqing and Shi Da were seated.

Yang Xiuqing did not sit on the throne above the main hall, but sat on the left side of the main hall. Because of the throne above, it is easy to distance himself from Shi Dakai. Anyone who was helpful to Yang Xiuqing himself, or who he needed, Yang Xiuqing would sit down to make it easier to talk.

Shi Dakai put the long sword beside him, looked serious, and said: "Brother Dongwang, when I returned to the city, I got the news of the defeat of Brother Wang and Xiao Wangniang, is this Li Zhen really so powerful?" ”

"It's amazing!"

Yang Xiuqing nodded, a flash of fear flashing in her eyes.
